"You, you're a thrush?"

Chen Youniao's eyes widened.

The person in front of her, with her picturesque face and cold temperament, clearly showed that she was the girl she picked up, but there was an inexplicable change. She was not short, but now she looked like a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

Of course, due to the lack of in-depth understanding, in fact, Chen Youniao did not know anything about her age, and only guessed based on her appearance. After a gap of more than half a day, Chen Youniao felt that "the eighteenth change of the female university".

But the thrush still looked confused, sleepy-eyed, as if he could never sleep enough. When Chen Youniao pushed the door in just now, she was sleeping on the bed.

"Thrush, you're rested, do you remember where your home is?"

Chen Youniao asked.

"Home?"

Thrush's delicate black eyebrows frowned, tilting her head slightly, but after thinking for a while, she held her head, as if she was in pain, and made a "whin" sound in her mouth.

Chen Youniao hurriedly said: "Okay, I can't remember, don't worry." ”

Under his comfort, the thrush fell asleep again.

Chen Youniao was really speechless about this, so he had to help her cover the quilt, and when he left the study, he thought to himself: With the condition of the thrush, nine times out of ten, there is some mental problem, which leads to amnesia, and drowsiness, etc., and she needs to be given a relaxed time to recuperate, and she is not in a hurry.

"Young master, you have already worshiped Master Meng as a teacher, and it is a long way to go to different flowing grass halls from here, do you want to buy a carriage?"

Uncle Wang asked, he was not optimistic about the young master's future of studying, after all, at such an age, if he wanted to do studies and test his fame, it was too late. But the young master has made up his mind, and he has successfully apprenticed to the teacher, and has taken the first step, which can be regarded as having some hope. As the so-called "late bloomer", there are also many inspirational examples.

Chen Youniao said: "It costs a lot of money to buy a carriage, and it is even more expensive to raise horses. ”

Uncle Wang understands the cost of supporting a carriage, and the coachman can let Wangcai do it, but buying horses and raising horses is really not a small amount, especially horses, a horse is often much larger than the cost of an ordinary family, and non-rich families can't afford to raise it at all, but the family has a carriage, which is a symbol of status: "Young master, it will be much more decent to have a carriage to travel." ”

Chen Youniao smiled: "You don't need to slap your swollen face and become fat, I'll just run." ”

"Run?"

Uncle Wang was stunned.

"Running equals exercise, and it also gets fit, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Chen Youniao waved his hand: "It's so decided, Uncle Wang, you can be responsible for your daily diet, and you have to buy more good meat." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Uncle Wang's mouth twitched, saying that his young master can really eat, and he has to eat finely, probably this is how he ate when he was in the mountain dojo. With such a way of eating, the five hundred taels of silver that I just carried on my body are afraid that I can't bear to spend. So let's postpone the purchase of the carriage.

......

But it was said that Song Tianfu took a carriage home.

The Song family is in an adjacent block, with continuous houses and a big family.

Not long after Song Tianfu sat down, a servant came to report that the old man wanted him to meet him, so he quickly washed his face, and then went to the main house to meet his grandfather.

Old Man Song is already sixty and eight this year, and he has been sitting in the position of the head of the Song family for forty years. No way, he has three sons, but two of them, including Song Tianfu's father, died young, and the remaining one belongs to the full gentleman, who can only eat, drink and have fun. The son can't take over the class, so he can only choose and train from the grandchildren. Among them, Song Tianfu is the most optimistic one.

When he came to the hall, Song Tianfu looked up and saw his grandfather sitting on the top seat, and the third uncle Song Ziyin sitting next to him.

Song Ziyin was about forty years old, and he looked dignified, but he looked like he had been hollowed out by wine, sitting on a chair, drooping his shoulders, and he opened his mouth and said: "Tianfu, Chen Mudao's debt is almost due, right? What are you going to do? That's more than 5,000 taels of silver, you shouldn't be fooled that day, and it will be postponed for another month." ”

Song Tianfu replied: "Third uncle, I went to talk to Chen Youniao today, promised him, and gave him a grace period, just pay it off before the year." ”

"What?"

Song Ziyin slapped the table: "Tianfu, who let you make your own decisions? The debt is the family's money, not yours alone." ”

The high-ranking old man Song also frowned: "Tianfu, what's going on? This is not like your style." ”

Song Tianfu coughed dryly: "Grandpa, third uncle, don't be impatient." I do this for a reason. ”

Reaching out, he took out two peace charms for the town, and then told what had happened.

Old Man Song was stunned for a moment, and his expression was thoughtful.

Song Ziyin snorted coldly: "Tianfu, this is all the other party's words, you didn't see him draw talismans with your own eyes." Perhaps, these two talismans were bought when he was in Laoshan. ”

Song Tianfu said: "No matter what, if he gets the talisman out, it is the last word." ”

Song Ziyin sneered: "You have been in business for many years, I can't see through this trick, this kid has been in Laoshan for ten years, spent countless money, bought some talismans for self-defense, and ran out." Do you really think he has connections in the ashram? If he did, he wouldn't have been sent home. ”

Song Tianfu said in a deep voice: "What the third uncle said, I have also considered it. But through contact, I found that this child is unusual, not in the pool. ”

Song Ziyin seemed to hear a big joke: "Isn't it a thing in the pool? What kind of ecstasy soup have you been poured in? If this guy has potential and a future, why did he become an outcast? As Chen Youniao's own family, the Chen clan can see it clearly. I heard the news that it wouldn't be long before the Chen clan would announce that Chen Mudao's house would be expelled from the lineage at the clan meeting. At that time, our debt will be lost. While Chen Mudao and his son have not been removed from the list now, we should immediately go to the door and ask the Chen family to repay the money. After all, if there is a trouble, they will also be disgraced. But if Chen Mudao's father and son are reduced to a side line, or even a miscellaneous lineage, do you think the Chen family will pay off their debts for them?"

In the Dayin Dynasty, identity and status are all human dignity, and without these blessings, they are just like poor people, which is not worth mentioning.

Old Man Song groaned: "What Ziyin said is indeed reasonable. Although our Song family is a large family, it involves a large amount of thousands of taels, and there is no room for error. used to lend money to Chen Mudao, originally because he took a fancy to his identity as a descendant of the Chen family, and he was not afraid of not paying it back. But now all his industrial fields have been sold out, and even his ancestral house has been swallowed by his fellow clansmen. Chen Mudao escaped with the wild monk, and his whereabouts are unknown, and now his son has finally returned, but he can't let him run anymore. ”

Song Tianfu said: "Grandpa, he can't run, he has already worshiped Master Meng as a teacher, and he wants to study and test his fame." ”

Old Man Song was stunned: "Which Mengfuzi?"

"Different Liucaotang Mengfuzi. ”

"This is amazing, didn't you say that he had a promising path of cultivation? Why did he go to study again?"

Song Ziyin next to him clapped his hands: "Sure enough, he doesn't have the ability to draw talismans at all, and he doesn't have the roots of cultivation, so he wants to read and turn over by reading." Tianfu, I can assert that he is absolutely lying and deceiving you and delaying time. No, we have to send someone to watch him quickly, and it's better to arrest him. ”

Song Tianfu touched his chin: "The problem is, Meng Fuzi really appreciates his talent and accepts him as a student." ”

Song Ziyin scoffed: "So what? Meng Fuzi is full of peach and plums all over the world, and there are not a hundred disciples in the door, but dozens of them." It's just collecting money to teach, could it be that if something happens, Meng Fuzi will help Chen Youniao repay the money? How is it possible?"

Song Tianfu said: "I mean that I think Chen Youniao is worthy of intercourse and worthy of selling personal favors, I can't see through him." ”

"Haha, that's because you're still young, and you've been tricked and confused. ”

Song Ziyin didn't like this capable nephew, and whenever he had the opportunity, he had to take eye medicine in front of Old Man Song. Originally, two of the three brothers died, and only one remained, and the family business must have been passed on to him, but the old man Song had other plans, to cultivate Song Tianfu, and pass on his grandchildren to his sons.

Old Man Song glanced at him and took a slow sip of tea: "Tianfu, do you really think Chen Youniao has the ability?"

Song Tianfu nodded resolutely: "Not bad." Grandpa, the kingdom struggles are all over the place, it is an eventful autumn, if Chen Youniao really has to become a Taoist, there is this favor, for our Song family, there is no benefit. ”

"Well, since you are relieved on behalf of our Song family, and if you go back to regret it, it will appear that you are dishonest, then it is up to you to give him a period of time. ”

"Dad, what's going to work?"

Song Ziyin was anxious.

Old Man Song raised his hand and said to Song Tianfu: "But Tianfu, you have to remember that you are responsible for this matter, and if you do a good job, the whole clan will see it; ”

Song Tianfu took a breath: "I know, thank you grandpa." ”

Song Ziyin's eyes rolled and he stopped talking, the old man said that if this debt went out of business, then Song Tianfu's successor would also be deprived, which was exactly what he wanted. With Chen Youniao's current appearance, he can repay the money and dream.
