The Days of Dressing Up as a Handsome General

Chapter 24 Hairball & Moxiang

"Crying...crying...crying..."

Don’t doubt, this sound was indeed made by me. At this time, I was preparing my lunch, and the heavy spatula was stirring vegetables that hadn’t changed a little on the iron pan. The ironware rubbed against each other, making a sound of “crying, crying” the sound of……

Stir frying for so long, those beans are still not cooked, so I had to squat down, throw a few pieces of firewood, and then continue to "cry and cry"...

A few minutes later, my face was flushed red by the sudden fire, and I sat down at the table with a plate of charred dishes. In a daze with white porridge.It's been three days, is it so difficult to cook a dish?

After a hasty meal, I came to the people's market in the west of the city. In the morning, I heard from the vegetable sellers that those who hire people to find work, and those who sell themselves as slaves are all wandering around in the people's market in the west of the city. I don't know what I can do. What, I thought it would be better to take a look first.

To be honest, a person with pot ashes on his face and a Taoist head on his head is really happy to stand in the market.I only heard someone say: "Why does even Daoist come to the market to find a job these days?"

Because I don't know how to comb a bun, I can only twist it into a ball, insert a hairpin, and touch the coarse cloth jacket on my body. I really look like a down-and-out Taoist begging for food.

The market is full of women and men with mustard weeds all over their bodies. Occasionally, I can see some people who look like old bustards and tortoise slaves passing through the crowd. On the surface, going to this stop is not the result of being beaten unconscious and sold.

In addition to prostitution, people in the city are working hard, sitting together in piles, a few rare teachers standing under the eaves of the street, but no one cares about them. Looking at the people passing by on the road, a strong sense of powerlessness suddenly surges in their hearts. Do you want to be a servant?waiter?With such a face to serve people, who knows what will be used to serve people later.The teacher's bookkeeping is not bad, but with the little ink in his belly and his shocking calligraphy, his future is bleak.

Just as I was thinking about it, a man bumped into my arms. The man looked up at me, grabbed my belt, knelt down, and said, "Master Dao, buy me. I do laundry, cook, carry water Chopping firewood, weaving and sewing, you can do everything, buy me..."

I was also amazed by the visual impact he gave me the moment he raised his head, a very beautiful child, but how could he be so pale and thin?

Seeing that I didn't respond, he looked back in horror, pulled out the mustard from his collar and stuffed it into my hand, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Master Dao, you can buy me, if you don't buy me, I will die of."

At this moment, several men in short black cloth jackets with sticks chased after us and surrounded us. A man in fancy clothes followed behind pantingly, leaning against a black man out of breath. The man in the clothes cursed loudly: "I let you escape, you little bastard, you are exactly the same as your brother back then, I and your father have already talked about it, do you little bastard think you can't enter Bifang Tower if you run away? You have cleaned up with me, and I will pick up the guests tonight, and I will let you run away..."

The boy grabbed my belt desperately, turned to the man and said, "I've already been bought, look at him holding my mustard. You can't buy me anymore."

"Little Maotuan, why don't you find someone rich? The one with the highest price gets it in the market, and the weed at the same price is useful. Your father and I negotiated a price of 100 taels to buy you. You How can I tell someone to buy it?" The man glanced at me, smiled carelessly, took out a small folding fan from his pocket, and fanned it slowly.

The boy trembled and cried: "Impossible, my brother only sold 30 taels last year, it's impossible..."

"Your brother is also a red card in our Bifang Building. Your brother must be no worse. I am willing to pay 100 taels to buy you."

The boy's hand that was holding my belt loosened, and he sat down on the ground with his face ashen.

The man saw that he had given up, walked over with a smile, patted my shoulder with a folding fan, and said delicately in his mouth: "Master Dao, this child has caused trouble for you. Here is some small money. You can take it." Go to the teahouse and order some small snacks, and I, Shanhu, will make amends for you."

I followed the two taels of silver handed over from his hand, looked at him carefully, and sighed in my heart, are these Chinese clothes, feather fans and that burst of fragrant wind necessary props for the father in this small building to appear on stage... …

Seeing that I didn't accept the money, the man named Shan Shan just looked at him, with a clear smile on his face, leaned towards me again, and said, "How about, next time you come to my Bifang Tower, I'll give it to you." Your [-]% off? Don’t hold this piece of grass, give it to me, so that I can lead this child to get the head deed.”

I looked down at the mustard grass, and there was a small piece of paper on the mustard grass, with the word "hair ball" written crookedly on it.Looking at that child again, his pale face seemed to have collapsed in the whole world. The short and shabby clothes wrapped his thin body, making the whole clothes look empty, and the drooping head allowed me to see him clearly. The bones in the back of the neck.

I sighed softly in my heart, but laughed lightly on my face. I bent down, pulled the child up, and said to him, "Let's go and apply for a head deed."

The boy's empty eyes instantly became brighter, he looked at me in disbelief, then at the man with frowning brows, immediately pulled my sleeves and ran forward.

The place where the head deed is issued is on the east side of Renshi. The boy pulled me to a stop in front of a table. I stroked my heart and gasped for breath. Knocked down by a slap.

A man with a fleshy face stepped on the boy's back and shouted: "You little bastard, how dare you run away? You want to kill me? After finally talking to Bifanglou's father about 100 taels, you run away with me!" ?”

I stepped forward and grabbed the man's skirt, slapped him on the face with a silver ticket, and said, "I bought the hairball, 100 taels."

Coral also came over with someone at this time, watching Mao Tuan press his palm print on the head deed, his teeth itched with anger.

I put away the paper contract, took out two taels of silver from my pocket, walked up to Shan Shan, smiled, and said, "Mr Shan Shan, this boy Mao Tuan has troubled you today, this is some small money, you take it Order a pot of tea in the tea house, and let the air flow smoothly."

The folding fan clasped in both hands made a slight cracking sound, and said through gritted teeth: "No one has ever dared to rob someone from me, you have the guts."

All the men with sticks behind him glared at me, as if they would pounce on me and beat me up as soon as Coral gave an order.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the man in charge of the contract had already packed up his things and was about to leave, and Mao Tuan's father was oiling the soles of his feet with the bank note.

The hairball on the ground slowly got up, the left side of the face was swollen high, the corner of the mouth was bloody, the right side of the face was scratched from the fall, and there was a big bump on the forehead that was swollen from kowtowing.

He stood behind me covering his left face, and whispered to Shan Shan: "Please let me go, please..."

Shan Shan said arrogantly: "If I don't teach you a lesson today, you stinky Taoist priest, how can I get along with you? Damn, steal someone from me, and I beat you to become a monk today..."

I quietly grabbed Mao Tuan's wrist and prepared to run. At this time, I really couldn't think of any other way but to run. I swallowed nervously and backed away slowly.

Is it really going to be beaten today?

"Mo Yan, why are you here?" A familiar voice came, I turned my head, and saw Zhu Yun sitting in the carriage, showing a face from the window, seeing my ghostly face, the corners of his mouth twitched , "How did you make it like this?"

I opened my mouth and was about to explain, Shan Shan at the side waved a folding fan and greeted him, "Hey, it's Mr. Zhu? You can be regarded as coming to our Yuecheng. It's been a long time since I saw you. You don't come to my Bifang often." Lou, don't you think our little waiter is not serving you well?"

Zhu Yun smiled evilly and said, "Where, when I arrived in Yuezhou that time, would I not go to Bifang Tower if I have time? Isn't that busy?"

Shan Shan covered her mouth and laughed straight, glanced at me, and asked, "Is that Mr. Mo your friend?"

Zhu Yun nodded and asked me again: "Go back?"

"Return." I answered concisely, and walked over with the hairball.

Before I had time to get in the car, I heard Zhu Yun ask there: "Where did you pick up such an ugly monster?"

"I bought it." I pushed the hair ball, urging him to go in quickly.

"You bought him as a servant?" Zhu Yun looked in disbelief.

"Well, he does laundry, cooks, fetches water, chops firewood, weaves and mends, and is proficient in everything." Mao Tuan clung to the handlebar and refused to go in. I was a little impatient and said to him, "You should go in."

"Mo Yan, you let me sit in a carriage with the servant you bought?" Zhu Yun's tone was a little harsh.

I raised my eyes to look at him, and saw that he was looking at Mao Tuan with some disgust, and my heart was inexplicably angry, "Isn't a servant a human? If you didn't have a good father, maybe you are a servant too!"

Zhu Yun's face turned blue with anger, and said, "You can do whatever you want."

I snorted, glanced at the hairball on my face, and said, "Go in quickly."

Mao Tuan timidly got into the carriage and knelt pitifully at the place closest to the door.

Before getting in the car, I gave Shan Shan a flowery smile that I thought was beautiful, and said, "Mr. Shan Shan, thank you very much for today."

Coral also responded with a smile: "Where is it, isn't Mr. Zhu's friend my friend? Next time I come to Bifang Tower, I will find some good children to accompany you..."

This time I can be regarded as seeing what it means to talk nonsense when talking about others.I bowed my hands and got into the carriage.

The wheels rumbled, and the atmosphere in the carriage was so stiff that it was unimaginable.I saw Zhu Yun watching his heart with his eyes closed, leaning against the wall of the car with his eyes closed, no matter what I said to him, he ignored me.Mao Tuan was as quiet as a cicada, sitting on his knees with lowered eyebrows, answering every sentence, never daring to talk too much.

I think my performance is considered amiable, but I really don't understand why Mao Tuan is so afraid of it.

I had no choice but to be persuasive and asked, "Your name is Mao Tuan, so what's your brother's name?"

"Also called hairball."

"I really don't know who came up with the name." Zhu Yun said sarcasticly.

I squinted at Zhu Yun, curled my lips, "How do the family members distinguish you?"

"It turned out to be Big Mao Tuan and Xiao Mao Tuan. Ever since my brother was sold, Mao Tuan has become my name alone."

"Hmph." Zhu Yun kept his eyes open, just humming there.

The corner of my mouth twitched, this person must have a mental problem.

"My brother's name is now Mo Xiang." Mao Tuan added, probably because Zhu Yun's distaste for that name hurt Mao Tuan's heart.

"Oh, Mo Yan, you bought the right thing this time. Mo Xiang's current market price is 200 taels a night. There shouldn't be too much difference between the brothers, right?" Zhu Yun opened his eyes with great interest, and looked at Mao Tuan said, "However, you have to take off your clothes to know, now you can't eat just looking at his face."

When Mao Tuan heard Zhu Yun's words, his body visibly shrank. I slapped the short table and shouted loudly: "Do you think I have the same interests as you who shop in brothels? I'll go to yours, I'll buy it." Besides looking at him pitifully, there is another important reason..."

"Want you to warm your bed?"

I went forward and grabbed Zhu Yun's skirt, gritted my teeth and said: "In the past three days, every meal I ate was soupy food, and now I am very angry, don't mess with me!"

"Can't I buy him and let him cook for me?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, prodigal son, the salary of an ordinary cook is one tael or three taels a month, 100 taels... Sigh, I have a good relationship with Shan Shan, if you do me a favor, you might still make money if you sell it off. It's 20 taels."

I turned my head to look at Mao Tuan, wondering in my heart, how can this guy be so valuable?

As soon as Mao Tuan caught my gaze, he immediately kowtowed in shock and said, "My lord, don't sell me. I can do ordinary household chores. As long as you don't sell me, you can also warm the bed. It's fine."

My face twitched, this little guy is too sensitive.I let go of Zhu Yun's lapel, and said lightly: "I won't sell you, just treat it as a disadvantage for me. Don't knock me down anymore, that face is even more unreadable."

I looked at Mao Tuan's fearful look, and my heart softened, and I said, "I won't ask you to warm the bed, I don't have that kind of hobby. The name Mao Tuan is very cute, and it's a good baby name. Now you follow me." I will take my surname as Mo, and I will call you Mo Ran, and I will treat you as my younger brother, so don't worry about those things, understand?"

He quickly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Young Master, for giving me the name, Mo Ran understands."

I glanced at Zhu Yun, and said deliberately sourly: "It's not because I'm afraid that people won't see your name..."

"Well... Mo Yan, Mo Xiang, Mo Ran, yes, they are like three brothers..." Zhu Yun said with a wicked smile on his lips.

I looked at Zhu Yun's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and I felt a little disdain for Zhu Yun in my heart, and then said, "Mo Ran, you are not allowed to kowtow or kneel in the future."
