I was a young master in ancient times
Chapter 21
The son borrowed money, but the father had no money.He didn't expect that 20 years later, he would be almost sixty, and he would still be embarrassed because of his lack of money.
Old Mr. An was squatting in the corridor smoking a pipe, and began to think about what his son had done with the monthly allowance.
Bought two new smoking guns last month and are using them now.Last month, I bought a jade gourd and two bags of cigarettes, and went to a few plays with the old man of the Zhang family.Last month, I bought an antique vase, which is now placed on the Duobao Pavilion in the house.Every month the money is spent buying gadgets.
The money saved by the old woman every month was given to Ankang last time.Old Mrs. An clicked his tongue and knocked out the ashes in the smoke pot.After thinking about it, he walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back.
He wandered to Ankang's yard first, but there was no one there.There was only one puppy lying on the porch to hide from the shade.His eldest grandson has been running out recently, to the magazine office.
With my hands behind my back, I want to go to my son's yard to have a look.As soon as I entered the yard, I heard the voices of the women inside.Mrs. An remembered that her daughter-in-law's niece was here.I'm too embarrassed to talk about things in front of outsiders.Then he also left.
Turning around outside with his hands behind his back, and squatting down the corridor again with his hands behind his back, Mrs. An took out his new bong in a melancholy manner, stuffed the tobacco, made a fire and lit it, took a deep breath, and blew it out from his nose. A puff of smoke.He decided to wait for his son to come back at night, and then borrow some money with a shy old face.
Huzi's father lived in a small side room in the magazine office.Hu Ziniang will go back to accompany her daughter at night.On this day, Xiaoxia was afraid that if she went late the next day, her place would be snatched up, so she stayed and made a floor bunk in the small side room.If she doesn't go home, the tiger mother will not go home either.
Xiaoxia earned more than one or two dollars today, and was so happy that Hu Ziniang couldn't sleep.She got up and took advantage of the moonlight to see Xiaoxia on the ground fast asleep, beating Huzi's father next to her.
Huzi's father was in a daze and was about to fall asleep, this gave him an idea. "What's wrong?"
"Father, I can't sleep. Xiaoxia earned a tael of silver today. I can't believe it."
Hu Zi's father was a little speechless. He turned over, lay down again, and said with a sneer, "Why don't you believe it? Didn't you see the money?"
"Why do you think our Xiaoxia is so capable?"
Huzi's father didn't reply, and after he lay down, he felt sleepy again.
Hu Ziniang elbowed him again, "Tell me, when we have money, we will recruit a son-in-law."
"You old lady, are you dumbfounded by Zhao Daqi or dizzy by money. Why don't you go to bed late at night. Only those who are too poor to get rid of the pot will marry." Huzi father was annoyed, this old lady Do not let people sleep at night. "Zhao Dali's family is rare. An old man keeps breaking his hands and feet, and it's not that he has no rice at home, so he ran to marry. Sigh, you old lady don't allow it, let me sleep."
It was just dawn, and people came to the door of the magazine office one after another.Mostly adults with children.The children were holding a magazine in their hands, squatting or standing, and some were leaning against the wall, reading the book attentively through the brighter and brighter daylight.
Huzi Dad was startled when he opened the door.There were so many people outside the door.He hurriedly turned around and picked up the bad dog standing on the side to prevent him from being knocked down when a lot of people came in.
Xiaoxia opened the door of the classroom, and people who entered the yard swarmed into the room.She immediately stood in front of the door with her hands in large characters, and shouted, "First line up, line up. I want to check if you all have magazines."
When Zhao Qin entered the room with the book, there was already a room full of students sitting or standing, and the crowd outside the window was full of small heads.He cleared his throat nervously, "Let's open the fifth page of the book. Let's learn to recognize characters first. There are ten characters listed in this issue of the magazine."
Playing the fan, Chen Xuan came to chat with Ankang early in the morning.As soon as I walked into the east alley, I saw many people standing inside.He thought, strange, what happened in the east alley yesterday?When he curiously walked into the yard of the magazine office, he saw more people inside, and his heart became more and more strange. "Master, is this book sold?"
Ankang said happily, "It's sold. More than 200 copies."
"How did you sell it?" He still has two hundred copies piled up there.
"Xiaoxia sold it."
Chen Xuan wondered, "How did she sell it?"
Ankang glanced at him, remembering that yesterday Chen Xuan mistakenly thought that Xiaoxia called him a bad dog, and joked unscrupulously, "Sold it with the bad dog."
...... The young master must have learned from Xu Li for his indecency.Seeing the bad dog playing in the yard, Chen Xuan was heartbroken.
He waved his fan and tried to look into the classroom on tiptoe.At a glance, I saw Xiaoxia standing at the edge of the classroom.
Xiaoxia is tall, so she chose to stand on the far side.Holding the book, listening to Mr. Xiao's lecture, listening attentively.He didn't even realize that someone's eyes were on her.
The big red thread is tied into a big braid.Viewed from the side, the bridge of the nose is not high.He is not tall, and his figure is a little shriveled.While watching, Chen Xuan evaluated in his heart.I could also hear the people behind discussing where to buy cheap pens and paper for their children.
Chen Xuan turned around, pretending to be righteous, and said in a low voice, "Go to my grocery store in the south of the street to buy it. We are planning to organize an event with the magazine office."
"What event?" asked the woman with the basket.
"Anyone who has magazines, go to us to buy a set of elementary pens, inks, papers and inkstones. I will give you [-]% off."
"Really?" The speaker obviously didn't believe it.
"I'm the shopkeeper of the grocery store. I mean what I say." Chen Xuan pouted in the direction of the classroom, "Let's do some good things for the dolls too. After learning the characters, we have to write more."
After opening the market, Chen Xuan was happy again.Regardless of Ankang making fun of him, he waved his fan and went to the room where Ankang and the others worked.An Houzai was talking with Ankang about the follow-up of the Dongyeshu incident. Chen Xuan had read the story and listened to it.
"After we left, the governor sent someone to investigate. After the investigation, I found out how much money the dog official of Dongye County had embezzled. He immediately beheaded him. The family members were exiled. The Sun family has no good results. Sun San, who committed the most crimes If you don’t die, the rest of the Sun family will go into exile with the dog official’s family.”
"It really deserves it." Ankang suddenly remembered what Lin Yuan said when he left, "It's not that we don't report, the time has not yet come."
An Houzai snorted softly, "Isn't it?" "Did a lot of evil things during his lifetime, just by asking monks to recite scriptures, he can repent and dream!
"What are you talking about dreaming?" Wei Furong walked in with a coquettish smile, followed by two maidservants. "Cousin Kang, your yard is quite lively."
"Cousin." Ankang got up quickly and let Wei Furong into the room, "It's very busy today. The first class is held today, and there are many people here."
Chen Xuan recognized Wei Furong, so he quickly stood up and saluted.
Sitting down on the chair, Wei Furong teased and smiled at Ankang, "I have been in Yuyang County for three days, and Cousin Kang only saw me once. I have a magazine and show it to my sister."
Ankang complained, "My good sister, the magazine couldn't be sold a few days ago, my brother was so worried that I lost a lot of my hair. I just sold the magazine yesterday, and I haven't had time to apologize to my sister today. "
"My aunt said you are still like a child. I don't see it right. You are obviously glib." Wei Furong covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled secretly.
"Good sister, don't make fun of me. I'll give you another copy of the latest magazine. It's not on sale yet. It's just printed."
Wei Furong took the magazine triumphantly, and after flipping through it for a while, she was attracted by the stories inside.When I wanted to read it again, I saw a line at the end of the story: To be continued.
Wei Furong turned two pages back, but didn't see where the story was, so she asked Ankang, "My dear brother, don't hide this story, just show it to my sister, and my sister promises not to reveal it to others."
"Miss also thinks this story is beautiful"
Wei Furong swept her beautiful eyes away, and the person who was interrogating her was a young man with dark skin.The boy sat in front of the table, and there were still many pages of paper spread out on the table.
"The story of the sword in the rivers and lakes is really good. The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are all chivalrous. People yearn for it."
Before Wei Furong finished speaking, the dark-skinned boy was already excited.He got up and walked around the room, then returned to the table, writing furiously.
Wei Furong looked at Ankang suspiciously, "This is?"
"Cousin don't care about him, he hasn't finished his work yet." Ankang knew that Qiu Yuan was excited.The few of them agreed that they would only keep their pseudonyms and never reveal their real identities.
Shaking her head, Wei Furong decided in her heart that this black-faced boy was a strange person.
After class, the children rushed out of the house with their books.A few stayed and asked Zhao Qin some questions.After everyone left, Xiaoxia stayed behind by herself.She first reviewed what she heard in class, then straightened the crooked desks and chairs one by one, and then left the classroom with the book in her arms.After Xiaoxia got busy, the bad dog followed Huzi's father to play in the yard.At this time, seeing Ajie going out, he ran over tremblingly and hugged Xiaoxia's leg.
Xiaoxia held the book in one hand, picked up the bad dog with the other, rubbed his forehead affectionately, and called softly, "Little bad dog."
As soon as Chen Xuan stepped out of the room with one foot, he heard Xiaoxia's call, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.He shook his head and left without looking at the people in the yard.
Back in the store, first give orders about the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.Chen Xuan called Zhao Xiaolin aside and asked him about Xiaoxia.
"Sister Huzi is your cousin?"
Zhao Xiaolin hummed, not understanding why the shopkeeper suddenly mentioned about Xiaoxia.
Chen Xuan and Zhao Xiaolin looked at each other, feeling dissatisfied immediately, thinking that Zhao Xiaolin was really dull, so why didn't he say more.He had no choice but to ask, "How old is she?"
"Nineteen." Zhao Xiaolin didn't say a word.
Chen Xuan had nothing to do with him, so he could only continue to ask, "Are you married?"
It was only then that Zhao Xiaolin realized something was wrong. He boldly took a look at Chen Xuan, only to see Chen Xuan looking at him with a dark face. He lost his mind for a moment, so he replied honestly, "I'm not married yet."
Old Mr. An was squatting in the corridor smoking a pipe, and began to think about what his son had done with the monthly allowance.
