Tong Jia anecdote

<three>

The next day, early in the morning.

Shopkeeper Lu came back from the Jiangnan Guild Hall to meet Tong Jiu.Unexpectedly, it took a whole night, Tong Jiu covered her swollen face, and paced back and forth on the ground in pain.

"This is my boss?" Shopkeeper Lu whispered to Hong Xiao who was twisting the towel.

"I have a toothache." Hong Xiao said as she held a towel board and handed it to her to cover her face.

"Master Lu, how's the inquiry going?" Tong Jiu squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, and moaned in pain, "I urgently need the good medicine of Yangzhengtang to save my life."

She is just at the age when she has wisdom teeth, and these days, her heart is full of anger. Every time she commits a crime, her face and throat are swollen, she is restless, and it hurts to swallow saliva.

Although shopkeeper Lu is also anxious these days, he still said solemnly, "We don't have any deep friendship between the two houses, and this second aunt lives in seclusion. It is not advisable to visit rashly. This morning, I entrusted Feng from the guild hall The president has led the line for us."

After speaking, he took out a letter from his cuff, "On the [-]th of every month, the owner of Xinglin World will meet in the Jiangnan Guild Hall to discuss matters. At that time, the steward of Yangzhengtang will definitely be there. It just so happens that the president has a letter to be handed over to the second aunt. When the time comes, you will hand it over on your behalf, so that it will not be abrupt."

Tong Jiu looked at the day, he would be fifteen tomorrow, took the letter from shopkeeper Lu, and put a cushion in his hand.Waving his hand, "No, I can't wait until tomorrow. I'll go now and find her."

"This—" Shopkeeper Lu feels that young people are sometimes too impatient. "Why don't you send a young man over to ask if you are at the house? To avoid running away in vain."

Soon, the sent person replied that the owner of Yangzhengtang had gone to the countryside to produce medicinal materials, and he would not be back until tomorrow.

"Go and ask again, where did you go, and which way did you go?" Tong Jiu ordered people to inquire again, and at the same time ordered to prepare dry food and prepare horses to go to the countryside.

Seeing the embarrassment on Shopkeeper Lu's face, Hong Xiao whispered to Tong Jiu, "Just wait patiently at the mansion for a day? You can leave as soon as you say it. If you go astray with the lady from Fucha's family, wouldn't it be more serious?" It was a waste of time."

At this time, Tong Jiu had already tied the horse and put on the saddle, "I can't bear it any longer." After speaking, he got on the horse, and walked back and forth anxiously with the horse twice.

Looking down at the people in the yard with a whip in hand, he said with a stern face, "I'm naturally impatient about my business! Shopping malls are like battlefields, so I can't just sit around like this."

"Don't persuade her, just let her go, she will come back when she's tired." Hong Xiao handed over the dry food bag, and when she came back, she smiled and comforted the heavy-faced Shopkeeper Lu, "She's bored in the mansion. For the sake of reason, I want to go out to solve the problem."

"Master Jiu, I greet you all. I took this road, so I guess I'm heading back now." The boy opened the map and pointed the way to Tong Jiu.

Tong Jiu pulled down the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, squinted her eyes for a rough look, and nodded, "Shouting Master, come with me."

"Brother Jiu, be careful yourself." Hong Xiao still patted the horse's head and instructed.Tong Jiu was used to playing and running wildly on the grassland outside the Great Wall since she was a child, and she always rode horses when leaving the capital. Although this distance is not a big deal, it is still a first-timer.

Tong Jiu looked through the luggage that Hong Xiao had prepared for herself, it was simple but everything was there, she nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's go."

"Oh——." Tong Jiu, who was on the official road, let go of her arms and galloped on the horse. She could only hear the wind blowing in her ears. Comfortable and happy.

But in this way, the group of boys who followed behind him suffered. They were born in the south of the Yangtze River, and their water skills are excellent.I seldom ride a horse on weekdays, and I am not used to the bumps on this dry road.

"Oh my God, why did such a little ancestor appear in our Han family's door? It's really fatal." The second housekeeper's viscera were all displaced, and he couldn't help crying immediately.

Running on the official road until it was dark, I didn't see any Miss Fucha's family. The sky was lightly raining. Tong Jiu reined in the horse, drank a few sips of water sullenly, and said to the butler behind him, "Let's find an inn to rest." .”

As soon as they heard that it was time to rest, the servants became energetic, "Master Jiu, there is an inn not far to the south." Tong Jiu let the cold rain hit his face thinly, but he lost his previous energy.

"Drive, drive—!" Sure enough, within a few miles, there was an inn by the roadside.Just as Tong Jiu was about to dismount, he heard whipping and shouting from the north of the inn. He was curious that the horse under him had strolled past.

The past few days have been cloudy and rainy, and the road is muddy and difficult to walk. A carriage loaded with goods sank into a pothole on the side of the road. What is even more surprising is that the horse pulling the cart was beaten by the groom like rain, and the horse was still standing in the mud pit. Li, without pulling at all, his body was stained with blood that had been drawn long ago.

"Stop!" When seeing the horse clearly, Tong Jiu swung the stirrups off the saddle and jumped off his own horse, grabbed the whip from the groom's hand, and caressed the wound on the brown horse's back worn by the reins, his heart ached. trembling.Then untie all the shackles imprisoned on the brown horse.

Originally, the car was stuck in the pit and couldn't be pulled out, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the groom was very annoyed that the horse didn't obey, but out of nowhere, such a stunned young man appeared, and unloaded the horse without saying a word, "Who are you?" The groom came up and pulled Tong Jiu who was hugging the horse's head and muttering something.

"How much, I bought it!" Tong Jiu took out the purse from his waist and threw it to the groom, "Is it enough?"

"Jiuye Jiuye, you don't think he is in charge, I'll go talk to their owner." The second butler took back the purse from the groom, dragged Tong Jiu to discuss it with a headache, and said, "Let's go first Go in." Then he said to a few boys: "You guys help people pull the cart in and unload the goods."

In the guest room on the second floor of the inn, "Have you unloaded all the goods? Tell the buddy to settle it down, and don't get caught in the rain." The young man ordered to the housekeeper who was on the side.

"Second Master, I have such a matter to report to you." The steward said awkwardly, "When I entered the hospital, I met people from Qun Han's family. .”

"Han Fu?" The young man drank ginger tea and said with a smile, "I've heard of people robbing women's women since ancient times, but I haven't heard of anyone robbing horses. In normal times, it's not bad to sell him, but now I'm in a hurry. How could he be fooling around with the goods on his way?"

"Master Jiu, I've been told not to sell it." The second steward stood by the stable, looking at Tong Jiu who was in the stable with his arms and sleeves bare, who was wholeheartedly serving the horse, and replied in the same embarrassment.

After feeding the horses, Tong Jiu had grass sticks stuck to his head, mud on his jacket and boots, and wiped his hands indifferently and said, "It's okay, just keep an eye on them, and I'll talk about it when I leave."

The next day, at dawn, the second housekeeper knocked on Han Luqi's door, "Master Jiu, are you up yet? They're leaving, they're already harnessing the horses."

"Second Master Fu, right? I'm in the lower city, North Han Luqi." Tong Jiu rushed out, and hurriedly shouted at the young man who was going downstairs, "I have something to discuss, can I take the liberty to talk about it?" Said and walked quickly, He took him to the courtyard and pointed to the brown horse and said, "As long as brother and sister are willing to part with each other, the price is easy to negotiate."

The young man surnamed Fu withdrew his hand, distanced himself from Tong Jiu, stood with his hands behind his back, and said impatiently, "It's just a horse, but Fu's medicinal materials have to be transported back to the city, so there should be no delay."

"Use my horse to pull it." Hearing what he said, Tong Jiu hurriedly got his horse out of the stable and put it on the truck. After that, he happily grabbed the brown horse's head and muttered. The brown horse was actually very intimate. rubbed and licked her face.

Finally, everyone is happy, the second butler heaved a sigh of relief, brought a porcelain bottle and plums and said, "Master Jiu, your medicine. Miss Hongxiao ordered it."

Tong Jiu hastily ate the pills and plums, and bowed to the young man surnamed Fu who was about to get into the carriage, "If you dare to ask your brother's name, I will come to the house to thank you soon."

The young man surnamed Fu pointed to the kraft paper bag containing plums in her hand, "What you are taking is the medicine on our cabinet. Let me go."

"Let's go, do you dare to ask what Xiongtai said is 'Yangzhengtang'?" Tong Jiu's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the man's sleeve again.

"Exactly." The young man surnamed Fu took back the sleeves that Tong Jiu was pulling, thinking to himself why this person was so difficult, endless, but he never thought that this was just the beginning.

"May I ask the owner of Yangzhengtang, where is Ms. Fucha now?" Tong Jiu took out the letter, "As entrusted by President Feng, I have to hand over an important letter to Ms. Fucha in person, and please tell my brother. "

"She - went back to the mansion first, why don't I just leave the letter and deliver it on my behalf." The young man surnamed Fu stretched out his hand to take the letter.

The next moment, Tong Jiu got into the carriage of Fu's family. "Hey, it's better to give the letter to Miss Fucha in person for the trust of others. When the time comes, I will trouble my brother to introduce you."
