513. The girl who loves monkeys
I only heard the shopkeeper explain to Du Yiyi:
"You ask us about the three Zhou mansions of Chengtian Mansion, there is a Zhou Mansion by the lake in the southeast of the city, it was eight years ago, when our Chengtian Mansion was first built, it was moved from Anlu City, this Zhou Mansion is very interesting, and the owner Zhou Yuanwai married the daughter of Chen Yuanwai, the largest household in Xiangyang Mansion......!"
Don't forget a sentence:
"Let's go to the next Zhou Mansion!"
interrupted Xiao Er's speech.
Xiao Er immediately said:
"As for the Zhou Mansion in the northwest of this city, it was ...... who moved from Nanyang five years ago!"
Du didn't forget to directly throw a piece of broken silver to Xiao Er:
"Let's move on to the next one!"
After Xiao Er took the broken silver, he quickly hid the broken silver in his arms and continued:
"Finally, the Zhou Mansion in the southwest of the city, I heard that it was a large family surnamed Zhou who lived in the local area before, because the whole family was killed in the flood last year, so this family had a daughter who married outside the city and came back, and sold the mansion to another Zhou surname at a low price, so the name of this house naturally does not need to be changed. ”
Du did not forget to ask:
"Do you know what the family you just said was this week, how old was the owner and his wife in the family before, and how many children did they have?"
Xiao Er touched the back of his head, and suddenly he was happy and said:
"I remember, the previous owner of the family surnamed Zhou was called Zhou Ji, and the wife seemed to be called Wanzhen, there were two sons and a daughter in the family, the eldest son was called Zhou Xun, the second son was called Zhou Yu, and the daughter was called Zhou Susu. ”
Du did not forget to ask:
"Then you can tell me about the age of Zhou Xun and Zhou Yu?"
Xiao Er thought for a while and said:
"Zhou Xun should be about thirty years old this year, Zhou Yu's age should be less than twenty-eight, I heard that Zhou Xun joined the army in his early years, and there is no news, this Zhou Yu was drowned with his parents, wife and children in the last flood. ”
Du Buyi couldn't help but wonder in his heart at this time, this Zhou Xun is only about thirty years old, and the Tsing Yi gang leader is about forty years old, it can't be Zhou Xun, but of the four families he inquired about, only Zhou Xun is the most likely now!
Thinking of this, Du did not forget to ask for the detailed address of Zhou Ji's house before consuming wine and food with Xiao Er, and then came all the way to the gate of Zhou Ji's house and knocked on the door gently.
It wasn't long before a butler dressed as a man came and opened the door.
Before Du didn't forget to speak, the housekeeper asked:
"I don't know this son, why did you visit our Zhou Mansion?"
Du didn't forget to take out the yellowed letter and show it to the housekeeper, who shook his head:
"It's only been less than a year since our lord moved to this Zhou Mansion, and we don't know if the Hanshui Zhou Mansion in your letter, Son, is our mansion!"
Du did not forget to ask again:
"I heard that a young lady from this Zhou Mansion sold this mansion to your lord before, right?"
The butler nodded:
"Yes!"
Du did not forget to continue to ask:
"Then housekeeper, do you know where this former young lady of the Zhou Mansion lives now?"
The butler shook his head:
"I don't know about this, I have to go back and ask my master!"
Du did not forget to thank him:
"Then there is Steward Lao, you!"
The housekeeper closed the door, and after returning to the house, it didn't take long for him to open the door again, and said to Du Yi:
"My lord may not be able to reply to you now, son, why don't you come back tomorrow?"
Du did not forget to smile helplessly:
"Well, it doesn't hurt to wait an extra day, thank you so much, butler!"
The butler also laughed:
"No thanks, our lord is also a good man. ”
Du did not forget to see this, so he had to find an inn in the city, rest for one night, and continue to come to this Zhou Mansion tomorrow to inquire.
When Du Bu Bu just returned to the room after bathing and changing clothes in the inn, someone knocked on the door, Du Bu Bu opened the door, and found that the person who knocked on the door was the second child of the previous restaurant, so he asked:
"Little second brother, are you okay?"
Xiao Er asked Du with a smile and did not forget a sentence:
"Childe, do you need to find a girl to accompany you at night?"
Du did not forget to hear it and was stunned:
"Little second brother, aren't you helping in a restaurant, why do you still do this kind of work of introducing girls?"
The little second brother said:
"I can't help it, the restaurant helper can't earn a few dollars a month, so I'll go around at night to help the girls I know!"
Don't forget to smile:
"You're looking at the silver on me, aren't you?"
Xiao Er immediately shook his head:
"Of course not, I watched Gongzi you come to our Chengtian Mansion alone, and there was no lady by your side, so I knew that you would have trouble sleeping at night, so I wanted to help you introduce a girl!"
Then he raised his hand and swore an oath:
"I promise that the girl you found for your son is definitely the most beautiful, the most stylish, and the most affordable in our Chengtian Mansion!"
Du didn't forget to think about it, maybe he really couldn't sleep this night, and a woman came to talk with him, which was actually quite good, so he said:
"Okay, then you can call one, but I like some talent. ”
Xiao Er smiled:
"Okay, I'll call the girl now!"
Du did not forget to say to himself:
"I didn't expect that there would be such people who came to Chengtianfu to do business. ”
After closing the door, he went back to bed and sat down and practiced kung fu.
It didn't take long for a knock on the door to come, and Du Cheng didn't forget to say:
"Come in!"
After a while, a little girl about sixteen years old walked in with a pipa in her hand, thick clothes, and a pair of watery eyes.
The little girl seemed to be quite shy, and after entering the room, she kept holding the pipa and did not dare to move.
Du did not forget to say:
"Since you're in, let's go and close it first!"
After the little girl put down the pipa in her arms, she turned around and closed the door, then walked to the side of Du Buyi's bed, closed her eyes, and began to untie her clothes, looking at her expression as if she was very sad.
Du did not forget to say suddenly:
"Stop, I want you to play a song to me, not for you to sleep with me. ”
The little girl then said:
"But the little second brother told me that I must sleep with you, so that you can give me enough silver!"
Du Yi couldn't help but ask:
"Haven't you slept with a guest before?"
The little girl replied:
"In the past, I accompanied the guests just to talk about the song, and I went back with the guests after drinking two glasses of wine, but today the second brother reminded me, saying that you have silver, and if you sleep with you, I can earn a lot of silver!"
Du did not forget to beckon to the little girl:
"Come and sit down!"
The little girl came over very reservedly and sat down on the edge of Du Buyi's bed.
Du didn't forget to ask:
"I don't know what to call you yet?"
The little girl replied:
"My name is Shinoshio!"
Du Chu did not forget to nod:
"Xiaoxiao's name is also quite good, I don't know why you want to do this kind of showmanship? Don't you have a family?"
Xiaoxiao shook his head:
"My mother died when I was less than ten years old, and I don't have a father!"
Du did not forget to ask again:
"And what did your mother do in front of her?"
Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and said:
"My mother used to be a concubine for a large family, but then my mother died of illness, and this big family sold me into the green building. ”
Du did not forget to smile bitterly and said:
"All the Qinglou women in this world will only say that they are the last resort, but they don't know that their last resort is the last resort to be confused by gold and silver. ”
Xiaoxiao suddenly burst into tears:
"I said I really had to do it, would you believe me?"
Du did not forget to ask:
"Your parents are gone, you sold your body for gold and silver, were you forced to do so?"
Xiaoxiao shook his head while crying:
"No, if I told you that I had no choice but to save a monkey, would you believe me?"
Du Bu didn't forget to cover his mouth and laugh directly:
"It's the first time I've seen this reason, and there is a girl like you who would sell her body for a monkey!"
Xiaoxiao covered his eyes and cried at this time:
"Childe, if you don't believe me, I can take you to see the poor monkey now. ”
Du Chu did not forget to nod:
"Okay, I believe you, then you can take me to see that monkey now, I want to see what kind of monkey it is, and you can actually sacrifice your body!"
Xiaoxiao asked again:
"Childe, but I don't sleep with you now, won't you give me the silver?"
Don't forget to smile:
"Don't worry, you won't be short of silver!"
Then get out of bed and put on your shoes, and let Shinoxiao take her out to meet the monkey.
Xiaoxiao took Du Yiyi out of the inn, and it was already getting dark at this time, so the two of them walked north for a long time and came to a shop selling flowers and birds.
At this time, the shopkeeper was closing the stall and preparing to close, Xiaoxiao ran over and said to the shopkeeper:
"Uncle, will you sell me that monkey?"
The boss glanced at Xiaoxiao:
"Do you have any money? don't tell me you don't have any money, and if you want to trade your body for my monkey, I won't eat your set. ”
Xiaoxiao pointed behind him, and Du did not forget:
"Uncle, look at that boy, he promised me to buy this monkey for me!"
The boss set his sights on Du Yi:
"Childe, do you really want to help this girl buy my monkey?"
Du did not forget to come over and say:
"Would you like to make an offer?"
The proprietress drew it with her hand and said:
"Fifty taels of silver, are you sure you want to buy it?"
Don't forget to smile:
"These fifty taels are too high, how can this monkey be so expensive?"
The boss walked back to the store, lit a candle, and pointed to a large iron cage that was one person tall inside:
"Childe, you can come in and see if it's worth the price!"
Xiaoxiao immediately rushed over and cried at the iron cage, shouting:
"Wang...... Woohoo ......!"
Du Bu Bu also walked in, looked at the big iron cage, took a closer look, and was startled, only to see a monkey as tall as a man in the iron cage, with his limbs tied by iron chains, sitting pitifully in the iron cage, and looking at Xiaoxiao with both eyes, it seemed that he was also shedding tears.
Du did not forget to look at the poor monkey, then at Xiaoxiao, and said to the boss:
"Okay, fifty taels, I want it!"
Then he took off the burden behind him, took out a five taels of gold ingots, and handed it to the boss:
"Is that enough?"
The boss hurriedly took the big gold ingot and bit it on his teeth, put it back in his arms, and said happily:
"Enough...... Enough!"
Xiaoxiao stood up at this time to wipe away her tears and said to the boss:
"Since that's enough, then you won't let go of my Wangwang?"
The proprietress hurriedly opened the cage, untied the iron ropes, and released the big monkey, and as soon as the monkey came out, she immediately hugged Xiaoxiao.
After hugging the monkeys for a while, Du did not forget to say:
"Since Xiaoxiao, you are reunited with your Wangwang, then I will go back first. ”
Unexpectedly, Du Buyi had just walked a few steps, and Xiaoxiao chased after Du Buyi with a monkey and stopped Du Buyi.
At this time, Du Yi did not forget and asked puzzledly:
"Miss Xiaoxiao, do you have anything else?"
Xiaoxiao pointed to the stomach of the monkey next to him:
"Childe, can you borrow some silver and I'll buy it something to eat, I see that Wang Wang hasn't eaten for a few days!"
Du did not forget to smile, took out a piece of silver from the baggage, and handed it to Xiaoxiao:
"You can go buy more food for Wang Wang!"
Xiaoxiao smiled happily:
"Thank you, Childe, I will never ask for your silver for nothing!"
After saying that, he pulled the monkey and ran to find a place to buy food.
