Song female man

Lu Quan just kicked Cuju for a while in front of his master Zhao Zongshi that day, and went back to his room covered in sweat to change his clothes. What's the matter with him.

Di Silang jumped up to him like a monkey, and flatteringly said, "Second brother, a half-boy came outside and said he wanted to see you, and said he was in a hurry. My father looked strange at that man and didn't want to talk to him." Yes, he also said that your brother from Yangliu Town sent him here, and also said that if you don’t report to him, he will be blamed for my father’s delay. My father saw that he didn’t look like a joke, so he called me Come in and tell Second Brother, Second Brother, look, can you go out and take a look?"

After listening, Lu Quan patted Di Silang on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for coming in and reporting to me. I'll go out after changing my clothes."

When Di Silang saw that Lu Quan was going out to meet the young man, he also knew that what the young man said was true, so he hurriedly said: "The little one first went out to greet him and let him come and sit in the gatehouse." Sit down."

Lu Quan said hello, and while continuing to change clothes, he turned around and saw that Di Silang hadn't left yet, so he glanced at him, and there was a questioning meaning in his eyes, that is, didn't you say to leave, why didn't you leave.

I saw Di Silang scratching his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, second brother, can you teach me how to kick Cuju someday when you have time?"

It turned out that it was for this. Lu Quan understood that the two fathers and sons of the Di family were willing to please him, but it was because Di Silang liked Cuju, but he was not good at it. I have delivered tea and wine twice, but I have never agreed because I am very busy and have no time.After all, some of his tricks for kicking Cuju were created by himself. With these tricks, he first courted Han Ya Nei, and after something happened in Han Ya Nei and turned him into a living dead, he relied on others to curry favor with him. His master Zhao Zongshi.

How can this cricket trick that he curry favor with the rich and powerful can be passed on casually? Even if he doesn't learn his cricket trick, if he wants to improve his cricket skills under his guidance, he won't just agree to it.

It's just that today, I found out that the second brother Xishun who came outside to pay homage to him, I think he told him about the coal business cooperation last time, he was very happy, and now he is in Bianliang City, that is, Xishun and He gets along well and speaks well, and he also trusts his sworn brother and likes to meet Xishun, so this time he agreed to Di Sanlang, saying that he would advise Di Silang when he had time.

When Di Silang heard that Lu Quan, a person who had a face in front of Zhao Zongshi, agreed to him, he was very happy, and hurriedly bowed his waist to say thank you, and said that if he got Lu Quan's guidance, he would treat Lu Quan as his master in the future, and is for a lifetime.Because his father said that a teacher for one day will be a teacher for life.

"Okay, stop talking, go out and greet my brother." Lu Quan waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about the future."

"Yes, second brother! Then I'll go now!" Di Silang was afraid that if he continued to be poor, he would make Lu Quan hate him, so he quickly stopped talking, agreed to Lu Quan, turned around and ran out.

Here Lu Quan continued to change his clothes, and when he was finished, he looked at the bronze mirror again, and then he came out, closed the door behind his back, and walked towards the east corner gate of the palace.

The East Corner Gate of Prince Pu's Mansion is usually used by non-masters in the mansion, and it is adjacent to a small street.

He guessed that the person who came to Dongjiaomen to look for him should be the half-sized boy Shitou who often followed Xishun, and that Shitou was very clever at first glance. When Shun knew each other, he was a fruit seller in the streets.When he met Xishun last time, he once said that if there was something wrong, he would ask Xishun to come to Prince Pu's Mansion to look for him. At that time, he didn't tell Xishun in detail how to find himself in Prince Pu's Mansion.The fact that Shishi can be found is obviously because Shishi has a certain understanding of the mansion of the clan and dignitaries in Bianliang City.Therefore, he came to the east corner gate of Prince Pu's mansion to look for someone, and he found the right person.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the east corner gate of King Pu's Mansion, where the gatekeepers sit and entertain guests, he saw Shi Shi sitting and drinking tea, and Di Silang standing beside him smiling and talking to Shi Shi.

Lu Quan went straight in. When Di Silang saw Lu Quan first, he quickly bowed his waist and called his second brother, then pushed the stone he was sitting on, and said: "The person you are looking for is here, why don't you hurry up and call him?" .”

Shi Shi immediately put down the tea bowl, bowed, and called out respectfully: "Second brother."

Lu Quan walked up to him and said, "I knew it was you, by the way, where is my brother?"

Shi Shi hurriedly said, "Second brother, follow me."

Lu Quan hummed, turned around and walked out behind Shitou. Di Silang walked last, and sent Lu Quan off with a smile on his face at the door with his father, Di Wu, who was guarding the gate.

Seeing Lu Quan go away, Di Wu said to his son: "That's all right, Lu Erlang promised to teach you, and your future will be better than my father who guards the door. Take good care of your master in the future. After returning, Ask your mother to buy some delicious food tomorrow, and let's treat someone to dinner in the evening, which can be regarded as a teacher appreciation banquet."

Di Silang asked: "I just don't know if he will come or not."

Di Wu slapped him on the head and said: "Will you come? You are dead. What are you doing with a mouth? By the way, besides learning how to kick Cuju from Lu Erlang, you also have to learn from others." Once you learn this verbal kung fu. If you want to win the favor of nobles, you don’t just need to kick Cuju well. Let me tell you, you have to invite Lu Erlang to the teacher’s thank you banquet tomorrow. If you flatter him, we I'm also getting closer to Thirteenth Lang in this mansion. Among the prince's sons, he will be the most promising in the future, and this matter is clear to everyone."

"Oh, then I'll ask daddy to tell grandma to invite him too." Di Silang said, shrinking his neck after being slapped.

"Go!" Di Wu pushed his shoulder, "Go and see if you need to run errands elsewhere."

Di Silang responded well, and went back. He was usually in charge of running errands in the area of ​​Xijiaomen, and the area of ​​Xijiaomen in Prince Pu's Mansion was large. Besides him, there were three half-grown children who ran errands.He is 13 years old this year, and his three elder sisters are all married. He is the fourth eldest in the family.What he wants, usually his parents will try their best to get it for him. He wants to learn a few tricks from Lu Quan, who is the best kicker in this house, so his parents will try their best to help him fulfill his wish.Not to mention giving tea and wine before, this is going to be a thank-you banquet for Lu Quan to eat, and it is estimated that money will be given.Although Di Silang was born in a family of servants, he didn't suffer any crimes, and of course he didn't enjoy any blessings. He was just a child of an ordinary family. He couldn't bear much hardship and was not very clever.The only thing is to listen to what his parents say. They told him to learn Cuju well and respect his master.

……

Shi Shi led the way and led Lu Quan out of the small street next to the East Corner Gate of Prince Pu's Mansion, turned a corner, and in front of a tea house, Shi Shi went to fetch the donkey cart that was often rented, and invited Lu Quan to get on the donkey cart. Then drive away from here.

Lu Quan got into the car and asked Shitou, where is his second brother, why did he have to take the car, can't he just find a hotel and tea house near the Prince Pu's mansion to meet him, why did he ask Shitou to drive a car to pick him up.

Shitou said he didn't know either, but his boss ordered him to do so.

Sitting in the car, Lu Quan thought to himself, could it be that the second brother Xi didn't want the people in Prince Pu's mansion to know that he was meeting him, what's the reason for this?Because most people try their best to establish a relationship with Prince Pu's mansion, and I am with Thirteen Lang, who is the most promising son of Prince Pu, how many people want to establish a relationship with his master through themselves, which is gratifying The second brother did the opposite, I don't know what he thinks about this sworn brother.

For some reason, Lu Quan inexplicably felt that if Second Brother Xi didn't want to have a relationship with him or Prince Pu's Mansion, he probably wouldn't cooperate with him in business.

If that's the case, he really wants to ask Brother Xi what he thinks, is he stupid if he doesn't make money with such ready money?

With such doubts in his heart, Lu Quan asked Shi Shi to drive the donkey cart faster. He wanted to see Brother Xi earlier and ask him clearly.

Shi Shi drove the donkey cart through the streets and alleys of Bianliang City. After half an hour, he finally stopped outside a tea house in a small street, and then told Lu Quan that his owner was upstairs from the tea house. I waited for him in the westernmost room, so I stopped going up and waited downstairs.

Lu Quan got out of the car, straightened his robes, and stepped in. The doctor of tea at the door came up to say hello. Lu Quan directly said that he went upstairs to find someone, and there was someone waiting for him upstairs.

Dr. Cha asked which room it was, and Lu Quan said it. Dr. Cha led the way and led him upstairs, and stopped at the westernmost compartment that Shitou mentioned. Lu Quan went forward and opened the door. Sure enough, he saw Second Brother Xi sitting by the window with the curtains hanging, waiting for him.

After closing the door behind his back, Lu Quan went to the side where Shun Niang was sitting.

Seeing that he had stood up, Shunniang said with a smile that she had been waiting for him for a while, and asked him to sit down on the chair on the other side of the coffee table, and poured tea for him.

After sitting down, Lu Quan asked Shunniang why she invited herself to drink tea at such a far away place. I'm afraid it's quite far from Prince Pu's mansion, so it's reasonable to wait so long.

Shunniang heard dissatisfaction in his words and said: "Today, I invited my third brother to come to such a far place for tea. I think my third brother has guessed something about me, so I will tell you the truth. I Well, I also miss you thinking of me and wanting to introduce businesses for me. But I checked, and there are as many as seven businesses you introduced. I estimated that if these seven businesses were to do business with them, I’m afraid There is no less than 20 catties of charcoal per month. Think about it, I only moved to the city for more than a month, and there are only six people under my command, including me, a total of seven people. Now they want to help me send seeds , and to help me deliver charcoal, I am already very busy. If there is so much more at once, we will not be able to do it at all.”

After listening to it, Lu Quan felt relieved, and said, "So that's why I didn't want to do the business I introduced. It's just that I think the second brother is too stupid, why can't he turn around? Since there are so many There is a lot of charcoal to be sold, but there is not enough manpower, so we need to recruit people. Can’t we just recruit another five or six men? How much are five or six men paying? Think about it, you can still earn a lot in a month. "

Shunniang: "I haven't thought about what the third brother said. However, I always feel that this matter is not something that can be done overnight. You have to recruit people slowly, and the business has to be smoothed out slowly. It always takes some time. The business you introduced to me can make a lot of money, so I don't know, I also want to make a lot of money, but I can't do it, I can only look at the money and sigh."

Lu Quan frowned, and asked: "Second brother, can you give me a certain date, when will you be able to straighten out your business and find the buddy who will help you?"

Shunniang said slowly: "It will take a year or so."

Lu Quan: "It will take so long?"

Shun Niang nodded: "Yes, but I came to see you today, and I also want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart, that is, if you need money, even if we don't cooperate in business, I will try my best to spend some money for you. Just looking forward to your prosperity in the future, I can follow the chicken and dog to ascend to heaven."

After finishing speaking, I laughed first.

As for Lu Quan, he also laughed, because he also remembered that he said this to Shunniang in Yangliu Town, and later entered the city, and dealt with the literati around Zhao Zongshi more, and then he understood the so-called The term "chicken and dog ascend to heaven" is a derogatory term. After all, people cannot be compared with those chickens and dogs.

The two of them laughed, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. Lu Quan then said that he thought Shunniang was stupid. If ordinary people wished to make a lot of money by the way he provided, but Shunniang was here to dawdle, could it be that he was still worried about making money with him? Buying and selling is shaky.

Shunniang said: "Third brother, just wait a while. I will come to you after I have sorted out the business, and we can cooperate. Besides, good things are not busy. We are brothers for a lifetime, not for a while. Or In that sentence, if the third brother is short of money, just say it, and I am willing to do my best."

Lu Quan: "I know how much money you can earn, and it didn't fall from the sky. How can I have the heart to spend your money. It's just that sometimes when I meet people, I need to spend money on the scene. I told you earlier Yes, I want to get some money mainly for this. After a year, the gap is about one or two hundred.”

"Then, if you come here every other season, how about I ask Shitou to give you fifty pennies?" Shunniang said without thinking.

"...How about that? How can I spend your money for no reason?" Lu Quan was slightly startled.

Shunniang: "You are my sworn brother. Since I need money, how can I not help you. But there is only one thing, the third brother will never mention me as a sworn brother who went to the city to start a charcoal business. Don't mention that I gave you money to spend. I am willing to be a person who supports you behind the third brother. I don't want to be known by many people, and many people are concerned about it. I don't want to cause trouble for you. If I encounter some unjust I also want you to help me secretly. In short, I don't want to expose our relationship to these people in Bianliang City. I wonder if the third brother can promise me?"

Lu Quan looked at Shunniang for a while, and thought over what Shunniang said just now. He probably understood what Shunniang was thinking. A series of hostile people.Those people might not be against people from King Pu's lineage in the open, but it's not too easy to deal with King Pu and the people around his master.Shunniang, who just moved from Yangliu Town to Bianliang City, has the old and the young, as well as the daughter-in-law and sister-in-law. These people rely on Shunniang. Law is alive.Shunniang is different from her prodigal son, she has no family, family property, wife and children in Bianliang City, so she is not afraid of anything that happens.

Since Shunniang has proposed that even if the two of them don't cooperate in business, they will provide him with a certain amount of money for his own expenses, so it really doesn't matter to him whether to do business or not, because what he wants most in his heart is his future. Is to be an official.If you become an official, money will come naturally. The salaries of officials in the Song Dynasty are very generous. As long as you become an official, you will not be short of money.

However, he still feels a little pity for Shun Niang, that is, he is too cautious and does not make a lot of money in front of him.

After a long silence, he said to Shun Niang: "Okay, I promise you, but I haven't done anything this year, and I'm ashamed to ask you for two hundred coins for no reason. If you think of a safe way, you Tell me, I can still get you to sell more charcoal."

Shunniang: "Let's do this first, be careful when sailing for thousands of years. For a businessman, safety is wealth. We will not communicate with each other publicly in the future. If I want to drink with my third brother, I will ask Shitou to pick you up. And if you want to talk to me, you can also ask someone to come here and leave a message. I will ask Shitou to come here every three to five times. If it is urgent, you can write a letter and ask someone to send it to my residence. After reading the letter, I will Will see you."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Lu Quan promised proudly.

The two talked for a while, and Shunniang asked Shitou to send Lu Quan back first, and she waited until Shitou sent Lu Quan back, and then went home in a donkey cart.

When she got home, when the family was having dinner, she briefly told her family about her meeting with Lu Quan at the dinner table. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi heard that Shun Niang said that Lu Quan's proposal for cooperation should not be considered for the time being. Now, everyone can live in peace, and they are all relieved.

In detail, she didn't say it in front of her mother and sister-in-law. For example, to provide Lu Quan with 11.00 guan every year, she felt that if she said this, her mother would have to jump up first. [-] guan, in her mother's opinion, But it's an astronomical figure.In fact, two hundred pennies, for Shunniang, would account for [-]% of her profit from doing business for a year.Put the two hundred guan in Yangliu Town, and you can buy a small yard with a well.Putting it in Xijiazhuang is even more incredible, as many old houses as Xijia can be bought and how much land there is.

Even her sister-in-law, who is not greedy for money, will definitely feel heartache when she hears such words.

What she didn't say to the old lady and sister-in-law, Shunniang told her after dinner and returned to her and Xie Erniang's bedroom, and then asked her if she felt sorry for giving Lu Quan two hundred coins for no reason for a year.

Xie Erniang said that of course she was in pain, but her impression of Lu Quan was even worse, and she almost told about Lu Quan's return to Yangliu Town not long ago to blackmail her parents fifty times.However, that matter was what her mother told her not to say to Shunniang before she returned to Bianliang City. She said that no matter how suspicious Xie Erniang was, Xie Erniang should not mention it in front of Shunniang anyway.At that time, Xie Erniang also asked her mother if her mother and her father had really done something wrong to Shun Niang, and what was it about.Her mother's face was very ugly and she told her not to inquire, but in short, remember that everything her parents did was for her.

At this moment, after hearing what Shun Niang said, she was very annoyed and accused Lu Quan of being still a rascal. It didn't matter what kind of clan's thigh he was hugging. He still couldn't change his shit, so she wanted to steal money by stealing money from others.

Shunniang was a little surprised to see her react so strongly, because from Shunniang's point of view, Erniang Xie took money more lightly than her mother. She thought that after she told Erniang Xie, Erniang Xie would definitely ask herself why she gave the two hundred Unexpectedly, she strongly accused Lu Quan when she opened her mouth, and even said that Lu Quan was blackmailing.

"...Lady, you... don't be so angry, listen to me, I gave him the two hundred guan because of my consideration..." Surprised, Shun Niang hurriedly stomped her feet while standing beside her. Xie Erniang sat down.

Xie Erniang answered: "I naturally believe that you have thought about it, I just hate that Lu Erlang very much!"

Shunniang held her hand, patted it lightly to comfort her, and then slowly said: "I knew you would understand me, but I still want to tell you, I didn't tell my mother and sister-in-law just now. Some words. I gave Lu Erlang two hundred guan, so he doesn’t have to rush to cooperate with me in the coal business, and the business of coal business can be delayed until I figure out a surefire way to cooperate. With two hundred guan, Lu Erlang can continue to do some things he wants to do, and he won't be unhappy because I don't cooperate with him."

"...You also know the people in the officialdom. Although Lu Erlang has not yet entered the officialdom, there are many officials around him. His spending is different from that of ordinary people. It is inevitable that the money will be big. In this way, his hands may be a little tight. I gave him the money, and he is not in a hurry. He can do things with ease, which is good for his future. If Lu Erlang can do well in the officialdom It is also good for us. Although I told him not to reveal that I am a sworn brother with me, and we will not communicate with each other on the surface, I believe that if my business encounters difficulties or blackmail in the future, Lu Erlang can help I am a reliable person to deal with these people. As for how much benefit he will bring to us after his prosperity is another matter. Now, I want such a situation, where Lu Erlang is safe, and we are also safe here. Everything is in place, the next step is to plan how to make things go smoothly, the foundation has been built more firmly..."

Xie Erniang listened, the expression on her face softened obviously, and she knew that Shunniang had her reasons for doing what she did.

After Shunniang said so many things, she picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then hugged Xie Erniang into her arms and said with a smile: "The situation is stable, and we have one more thing to do, which is to raise children. I will take you from Yangliu Town After taking it back, you also made a lot of soup for people to show. I think it’s time to prepare for pregnancy. But before we prepare to conceive, we have to talk to my mother and sister-in-law and let them cooperate You play this play..."
