"Talk to me, what does this person have to do with you?" said the magistrate as he sat down on his chair and said with a slight ease.

The scholar nodded, but paused again when the words came to his lips.

Sitting motionless, the magistrate behind the table, while touching his chin, looked at the scholar with a playful look, he wanted to see what tricks this prickly head was going to play.

"My lord, I'm a little nervous about whether I can ask for a cup of tea. The scholar's eyes rolled, lowered two eyebrows, and lowered his eyebrows.

The magistrate laughed,

Do you know you're sorry?

Do you still know that it is not suitable?

Smack!

Clapped his hands, and the messenger outside the house gently pushed open the door, hunched over and waited for the magistrate's orders.

"Add water to the teacup. ”

"Hey. “

The messenger did not close the door, ran out for a while and came back with a large blue and white pot, poured the water, took two steps back, trotted out, and closed the door again.

There were scholars and magistrates left in the house.

The scholar looked at the teacup in front of Zhixian with blank eyes, and looked up at the person above him from time to time.

Shaking his head, Zhixian pushed the teacup in front of him forward, "Drink." ”

"Master Xie. ”

After this play, the temperature in the hut rose a little, and the scholar pursed his lips, held the tea cup, and slowly opened his mouth.

... ...

Three years ago, that small county town

Since he got the one hundred taels of silver from the scholar, the old cow stopped farming, and every day he carried the bag of silver on his back like a baby, wandering around.

Lao Niu has never taken so much money, he is reluctant to buy valuable things, and he is unwilling to use cheap things, always worried that the money on his body will be spent.

Or touch it every day and see what makes you the happiest.

"You're the bandit cow who picked up a windfall?" Today, the old cow had just entered the city and had not walked around for a while when he was stopped by this cold voice.

The person who spoke, wearing a well-fitting white robe, with a jade inlaid on his turban, looked not very old, with fair skin and not a tall man, and was walking over with his head held high.

"How do you speak?" the old cow frowned, he didn't know the person in front of him.

Looking at Lao Niu's expression, the person who came smiled and said, "I can stop talking like that, but can you block other people's mouths?"

The old cow opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, he felt that this person was a little inexplicable.

After thinking about it for a long time, the old cow struggled to pop out a few words from his mouth,

"What do you mean?"

The other party didn't answer, smiled, and left.

The confused old cow touched the headscarf on his head, tightened the burden on his back, straightened his clothes, and left this behind in a blink of an eye.

I haven't walked around enough today,

The envious and jealous eyes are not finished enjoying it

Those storytellers return home, but that's it

Look, there are people everywhere who know my old cow now!

... ...

After wandering around like this until noon, Niu Laohan stopped his pace, looked up at the sun hanging in the middle of the sky, and pondered to find something to fill his stomach.

This is a good wine shop, and a meal costs a few dollars.

Let's eat some of this, we all have silver, so we have to be careful.

Lao Niu didn't expect that there would be money and troubles, and spending money was also a hard job.

He hasn't had a good life, you must know that this poor man can't pretend to be rich, and it is difficult for a rich person to learn to be poor, but he doesn't just talk about it.

The old cow is in a dilemma.

"Yo, I met again, it's time for dinner, don't you want to eat?"

The sound was familiar

Raising his eyes, this is not the inexplicable person just now, Lao Niu wanted to pretend that he couldn't see him, so he chose a random direction and prepared to hide.

"In the end, I can't get on the table, I have silver in my pocket, and I can't spend it, right?

You haven't come back to your senses from eating noodles from the hut, have you?"

As he spoke, the man shook his head as if he had extenuating feelings and hated him.

Lao Niu was a little angry, why did this man speak so impulsively? He was not stupid, this was not a good thing to say, this person was laughing at himself in a different way, and he was not worthy of it.

"What the hell, what the hell?

One hundred taels of silver!

Look at you like this, your ancestors haven't touched it for three generations, right?"

Lao Niu's temperament came up, and he shouted loudly with a voice like a broken gong and drum, until the people passing by around him heard the sound, frowned, shook their heads, and walked quickly.

It's really silver, and I can't suppress that stench!

"I really haven't touched it,

This bit of silver, you also treat him as a treasure. ”

The man was not angry, but walked two steps, looked the burden on the old cow up and down with disgust, and skimmed the corners of his mouth to both sides.

"So, I invite you to eat.

You still keep this bit of scattered silver, and after three generations.

Hehe. ”

Hearing this, Lao Niu came back to his senses, he was a little unexpected, this person doesn't play cards according to the routine!

When he looked up, the man didn't wait for him, but walked forward on his own, and seeing that he was about to go away, the old cow hurriedly trotted after him.

Don't get along with money.

You have to eat it,

Don't eat for nothing, don't eat.

... ...

There are not many wine shops in the small town, and the person who started in front chose a good store, and the two entered one after the other.

Before he entered the door, Lao Niu heard the sound of shouting from inside the wine shop.

"Master Ma!"

"Master Ma is here!"

Many people in the liquor store stood up and raised their hands at the man who had gone first.

It seemed that many people in the restaurant knew him, and from the smiles on their faces that they couldn't hide, it could be seen that the man was very respected.

Lao Niu had never experienced such a feeling, and looked at this respected horse master with some surprise.

Something...

Ma Ye in the center of the crowd didn't have any expression, and he didn't reply to everyone's words, but just raised his hand lightly, and he didn't care about these people.

Then squinted at the trotting hall waiting in front of him and ordered,

"Yamaer,

Prepare the food and serve the wine. ”

Running the hall repeatedly, and was just about to lead the way upstairs, but he paused again. Turned his head, cautiously glanced at Ma Ye and then looked back, and glanced at the old cow who was a little cramped at the door,

"This lord..."

"With me, I'll invite him today, you have a little eyesight, hello. ”

Before Xiao Er finished speaking, Ma Ye interrupted him, turned around and pointed to the old cow standing behind him with a loud expression, threw out a small piece of broken silver, and then walked upstairs.

"Gotta do it!"

After receiving the money, Xiao Er became more attentive, clinging closely behind Ma Ye, and waiting carefully, for fear that the uncle would fall.

"Master Ma, invite him to dinner?"

"Who's that?"

"I don't know"

"It seems to be the farmer who lost a windfall a few days ago. ”

"Yes, yes, the surname is Niu. ”

Ma Ye didn't speak loudly just now, but he had a high status in the eyes of everyone, and even the guests he invited became lively in the eyes of everyone.

Momentarily surrounded by countless envious words, speculative eyes, curious looks... The old cow who was surrounded by the group felt a little dizzy.

In his life, he has never been the center of others' eyes, and he is still a harlequin a few times.

But today, he opened his eyes, and he realized that the people he met were different.

Thinking of this,

When I looked up at the figure that disappeared on the stairs,

The unfathomable meaning came.

"What about you?" the voice came from the top of the stairs, it was Ma Ye's voice, and it sounded a little impatient.

"Oops!"

Lao Niu replied repeatedly, and hurriedly arched his hand towards the surrounding drinkers, and ran impatiently upstairs, not noticing, and almost fell.

The old cow himself didn't even notice it,

His loins bent down again,

This time is different from the past,

This time it's not because of life,

but because he was carrying the heavy bag of silver.
