Chapter 12: The King Next Door

The old man next door: "Okay, that's the blessing of the second young master." ”

Shen: "Yes, I think so too. However, as you know, the place next door to us is not big, and there are many female dependents, which is very inconvenient. ”

Shen Shi looked at Lao Wang, paused, and continued: "Our old lady said that I will give you the three old houses in Hualong Lane in the city, what do you think?"

The old man next door was also an honest man, he didn't understand, and hurriedly asked, "Madam, what do you mean?"

Shen: "Our old lady said that she wanted Tianyou to live in the other garden and asked his uncle to teach him to learn literature and martial arts here." What do you think? As compensation, I will give you three old houses in Hualong Lane in the city. I really hope for your understanding. ”

Lao Wang next door did not answer.

Shen: "Yes, it's a bit bad for us to do this, isn't there no way to do it? I'll give another 100 taels of silver as your daughter's dowry." Xiao Zen is not young, and he is almost at the age of marriage. ”

The old Wang next door hurriedly said: "Madam, you misunderstood, I was thinking about when to move, and my family's Ah Bao was studying." ”

Shen: "Oh, don't worry about this, Ah Bao can also live in the other garden, eat and live with my family Tianyou." I will treat him as my own son, and I will never treat your son badly. ”

While speaking, Jiao Shi twisted his waist and walked in, and when he saw Shen, he hurriedly said: "Madam, I said how did I hear a magpie crying in the trees in the yard when I got up this morning, you are here, it is really a happy event, a happy event." ”

Jiao Shi turned his head and scolded Lao Wang: "You are wood, let Mrs. stand like this?"

Shen: "You're welcome, you're welcome, I'll leave after I finish speaking, you can discuss it." ”

Jiao: "What's the matter, just give orders." ”

Lao Wang next door: "Madame said, I want Tianyou to live in another garden, and ask his uncle to teach him to learn literature and martial arts here." The Tang family gave us three old houses in Hualong Lane in the city as compensation. ”

Jiao: "Did you agree?"

Lao Wang: "I agreed!"

Jiao Shi smiled, and said with a smile: "Very good! Very good! It should be! This place was originally owned by the Tang family, not to mention giving us the three old houses in Hualong Lane in the city, even if you don't give it away, people should use us." ”

Shen: "I'm sorry, it's all our fault and I've caused you trouble." ”

Jiao: "No, it should, we'll move right away." ”

Shen: "Don't worry, don't worry, you have discussed, I will ask Tang Fu to clean the three old houses in Hualong Lane." ”

Jiao: "We move and clean by ourselves." ”

Shen: "I'm really sorry to cause you trouble." ”

After speaking, Shen retreated.

Shen went out with his front foot, and Jiao closed the door with his back foot, grabbed Lao Wang's ears and walked into the hall, nagging as he walked: "You are a dead man, so you agreed?"

Lao Wang: "People say that the young master of Tianyou has been frail and sick since he was a child, and he is lazy in learning literature and martial arts in the ancestral hall, the old lady is very unhappy, and wants to invite his uncle to come here to teach him to learn literature and martial arts, what reason do I have not to agree?"

Jiao: "That's it, you can't agree right away." ”

Lao Wang: "Madame said, another 100 taels of silver as a dowry for her daughter, Ah Bao can also live in another garden, eat and live with the second young master." She will treat our family Bao as her own son, and she will never treat her badly. ”

Jiao: "That's pretty much it. ”

Saying that he had already walked into the hall, Jiao Shi pointed to a chair for Lao Wang to sit down, pulled a chair and sat down next to him, and said in a low voice: "Let me tell you, do you know why I came back so late?"

Wang: "What?"

Jiao's: "I met the weird man you said again, the old man with a sallow face and no expression, remember, you told me twice last year, once in the west of the city, and once at the foot of Maoshan Mountain." ”

Lao Wang: "Who?"

Jiao's: "It's the one who is willing to make a deal with you and let you see what the Tang family has to report to him, I don't remember." ”

Lao Wang hurriedly covered his wife's mouth with his hand: "Don't talk nonsense!" After speaking, Lao Wang was afraid that someone would see and hear it, so he hurriedly walked out of the hall and looked around.

Jiao: "Don't be suspicious, I'll close the door." ”

Lao Wang: "The Tang family is definitely not simple, my father repeatedly said this to me before he died. Don't mention such a rebellious thing. ”

Jiao Shi took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his sleeve and put it in Lao Wang's hand: "People said, you must not do anything that hurts nature and reason, and you will never be allowed to do anything that is sorry for the Tang family, as long as you tell him the curious things you see and hear in the Tang family, he will give you ten taels of silver every year." These ten taels of silver are not counted, but they are considered deposits. If you can tell him something that interests him, thank you for that. ”

Lao Wang looked at his wife and was silent.

Jiao's: "What are you hesitating about? You have been working in the Tang family for a year, and you are busy working for five taels of silver." As soon as people make a move, it's ten taels, ten taels, you're going to be busy for two years. Besides, if you think about it, the Tang family didn't treat us as their own. ”

Lao Wang: "Anyway, I won't do this thing, I want you to do it, I don't care if it's a big deal." ”

Jiao's: "Hey, you are a donkey, and you will only be poor for a lifetime, and let the three of us suffer with it." I won't tell you, I'll go tell my son. ”

Lao Wang: "Tell my son, what do you say?"

Jiao: "Tell him about this good thing." ”

Lao Wang: "Don't!"

Jiao's: "Why not, your son has already seen that person? People have also taught your son martial arts, haven't you noticed that your son's martial arts have improved a lot?"

Lao Wang: "You short-sighted, beware of harming our old Wang family!"

Jiao's: "Who doesn't know if you have a short period of knowledge! People are rich and powerful, and if the child has poor martial arts, he will ask the master to teach him, and he will let us move, so you don't want to do something for your son?"

Lao Wang was speechless and sat in the corner of the room with a sigh.

Xiaochun is already here, and he is about to invite his uncle Tang Xiaode to be the master, so he can not go to the ancestral hall to suffer, and Tang Wenbo will accompany him, Tianyou is very happy to think about it.

Although Tang Xiaode is eccentric, he is also an old friend of Tianyou.
