Qin Ban
Chapter 23
It's all a little crispy.Qin Ban leaned lazily on Liu An's body, letting the people behind him hug him and squeeze his arms and legs, "You said, Wang Shangshu came to this place so long before us. Have you learned something? In fact, I still hope that Wang Shangshu is a good person, so how convenient it is for us to ask him directly?"
Liu An doted on Qin Ban, and when he saw that he had changed another hand and raised it, he grasped it from his fingertips and pinched it for him: "I'm new to Beijing, so I don't know many things. But from what I know, this At least Lord Wang is not with that servant."
"Well. Sir Wang was a disciple of Emperor Kong Long at the beginning. It was always Emperor Kong who recommended him in front of His Majesty, so he was reused." Qin Ban actually liked this emperor teacher quite a bit.When he was young, he always went to the palace to accompany the Sui Emperor. The emperor taught him a lot of homework: "As for the Yu Shilang who is in charge of building the dam, just because he is a member of the Ministry of Punishment Minister Guo De. I think there must be something wrong with him. Hmph. At the beginning, he was just a person who almost failed the ranking, and somehow he used some means to marry Guo De's concubine daughter. He hugged Guo De's leg tightly."
Although Qin Ban was very angry when he said this, for some reason, Liu An just wanted to laugh when he heard it: "That's fine, if he didn't marry that concubine, there would be more people watching you."
"What are you talking about? Do you think that admiration for me in your heart can be changed by just marrying someone like Yu Wen?" Qin Ban sat up immediately, feeling unhappy: "Someone like her just fell asleep I also know that it is impossible to have anything with me, it’s just a concubine, it’s not that I look down on concubines, but it’s true that I might not even see them.”
"Okay, okay, I made a slip of the tongue." Hearing what Qin Ban said, Liu An didn't think it was exaggerating at all.He has always corrected his mistakes, and he was more sincere in correcting himself when he accidentally said something that offended Qin Ban.
"Hmph." Qin Ban didn't need to worry about such a trivial matter and hurt his feelings in vain.
Fortunately, Qin Cai deserves to be the one who has been with Qin Ban for so long.The time to come back is particularly appropriate.Seeing that Qin Bangang was distressed because he didn't know whether he was angry or not, Qin Cai said outside: "Master, I'm back!"
It rained again just now, and Qin Cai's clothes were soaked through.At this moment, Qin Ban left him in the car to change into dry clothes because he was afraid that he would be frozen.
"Master, I found out. Those officials like Lord Shangshu and Tianshui are all crowded in the government's mansion." Qin Cai said everything he just got.
Qin Ban curled his lips and asked with interest: "Want to buy a bronze mirror?" It's really unimaginable that there are still people who want to be beautiful when it's a problem to eat enough here: "You mean we can live in his house That’s a good feeling, people who still think about the bronze mirror at this time will definitely not smell the same as what we smelled at the beginning.”
"Oh! It seems that I didn't pay attention unless the young master said it." It stands to reason that there are always some strange people who are clean here.But for people from outside, it is normal to be clean.So Qin Cai didn't notice such a special and gratifying thing.
Liu Andu breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, well, at least he should be a very clean person. If we live together, it's much better than being smoked and not daring to vent."
"But the bronze mirror..." Qin Cai hesitated to speak.The only requirement for Zhang Mao is that he wants a bronze mirror.But they chose cloth in order to install merchants and sell goods. Where did they get the bronze mirror?
Qin Ban waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Don't I have one? Just give him our bronze mirror. Anyway, a big man, how can he not know what he looks like?"
After solving the most important bronze mirror, a group of people can finally go inside.On the road, Qin Ban also asked with great interest: "Do I need to paint a scar on my face? Don't they all say that beauty brings trouble?"
"Then, will the scar disappear when it comes into contact with water?" Liu An couldn't help complaining about Qin Ban's proposal, which was obviously just a joke.Along the way, it can only be said that his relationship with Qin Ban has become more and more enviably close.
Qin Ban didn't want to pay attention to this warrior who had no sense of humor.Turned the white and didn't speak.
Qin Cai covered his mouth and watched the two people's daily bickering.I feel that since I have Liu An, my young master has become a lot more cheerful.The concern for them has really increased.
It didn't take long for the group of four to arrive at the door of Zhang Mao's house. It wasn't until you were here that you really realized why Qin Cai used the word "precarious" to describe it.
"Is there just four families to live in this house?" The coachman was used to being silent along the way, and he was not a talkative person.Seeing this house that could be collapsed with so little force now, I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Qin Cai can understand his reaction very well.He nodded and said, "Fortunately, it doesn't look good from the outside. I went in and looked inside. It's just that the four of us can only be in one room. Let the young master and Liu An sleep on the bed then." , the two of us slept on the floor. Lay more bottoms, otherwise it will be troublesome when the moisture gets on your body."
They were also lightly loaded at the beginning.Just brought some money notes.The reason why I choose to buy fabrics to pretend to sell goods is also because of this idea.What this place lacks the most is medicinal materials, food, clothing and bedding, and the other two are too easy to loot.Let alone something conspicuous, these red-eyed people alone may be in great danger.In this way, cloth becomes the best choice.
Zhang Mao heard the knock on the door and immediately ran to open the door.He only saw a person who looked like a fairy getting out of the carriage that even the officials and lords couldn't afford to ride since the flood.Although the clothes are plain, the fabrics are rarely affordable for ordinary people like them.
"This must be the young master who got rich, right? The little Zhang Mao is the owner of this house." For Qin Ban's appearance, it's the first time someone else sees him. He must be the same as Zhang Mao , subconsciously became cautious.
Qin Ban politely nodded over Zhang Mao, and then took an oil paper bag and a bronze mirror handed over by Qin Cai from his side: "I should have given some silver for borrowing money. It's just that Qin thinks Maybe those yellow and white things nowadays are probably not as good as these, so I took advantage of them and used them as a thank-you gift for bothering."
As Qin Ban said, it is really useless to give money now.If what Qin Ban offered at this time was money, Zhang Mao really might not want it.But it was obviously wrapped in oiled paper, but he always felt that he could still smell the aroma of food coming towards him, so he really couldn't refuse.After a little hesitation, he accepted it with a cheeky face: "Young Master Qin is really a clear person. Then Zhang Mao accepted it."
There is also a daughter who is just ten years old in his family, and his wife.There was originally an old mother, but after all, she couldn't survive and passed away not long ago.The daughter was seriously ill, and what she was thinking about was the bronze mirror she had lost.Now he can't refuse even for his wife and children.In the end, if Mr. Qin and the others have something to do, they can just help out more.
"Let's go." Liu An smoothly pulled Qin Ban to his side.He followed Zhang Mao into the house.
This house is not that big.On weekdays, everyone can sit and chat together if they have nothing to do.Now Zhang Mao suddenly led a group of people in, and those who were sitting and chatting suddenly stood up.
A man who looked quite thick asked Zhang Mao fiercely: "Zhang Mao, who did you bring in?"
"These are some merchants who happened to pass by our Tianshui with goods. They saw me and came to stay overnight." At the beginning, Zhang Mao did not agree with these people moving in, but after all, they were all from the same country. less than.He had a good life before, but he didn't expect that at this moment, he would jump out and make a fuss without saying anything else. You said he brought someone to his home, so it's the outsider's turn to say something?Is it possible that if they live for a few days, this will become their house?
"Be careful!" Liu An pulled back Zhang Mao who was still standing stupidly in front.Because he shot very quickly and narrowly avoided the commoner rushing up with his fists waving.
Another person saw that his accomplice was dodged, and because he was thinking about a sneak attack, he made great efforts.After being dodged, he threw himself straight onto the ground, screaming in pain, "What do you want to do?" People who didn't know the guarded posture thought it was Qin Ban who made the first move.
"What do we want to do? It's obvious that he rushed up first!" Consciously spending too much time talking with such troublesome people will appear to lose their identity.The coachman jumped out automatically.
The person who pounced on him at the beginning could be regarded as a respectable person in Tianshui County.His name is Liu Chen, he can barely be regarded as a Jieyuan, and he works as a teacher in the largest academy in Tianshui.And the person who came later was his younger brother.At the beginning, the two relied on their reputations, but they were unwilling to squeeze together with those people under the pressure of the county magistrate.Dazed, he ran to Zhang Mao and occupied a room alone.
It's not that they really exclude Qin Ban and his party.It's just that there is only the last vacant room left in Zhang Mao's house. If Qin Ban and the other four live in, it is impossible for them to occupy another room by themselves.
Originally, their family also raised two big meat pigs with fragrant salary.It can be regarded as a small rich family, and coupled with the inexplicable self-esteem of "scholars", it is even more impossible to squeeze myself into a small room with others.Even Zhang Mao's house, they all felt that if they had no other choice, they would look down on such a simple house.
"This house is my Zhang Mao's house, Young Master Qin and the others are my guests. I bring people into my house, what is your attitude?" Zhang Mao also felt angry with the behavior of the Liu family brothers. cigarette.Not to mention anything else, as long as the oiled paper bag Qin Ban gave him just now is still warm in his arms, he can't make people feel wronged like this.
Liu Chen snorted, and looked at Qin Ban and the others in a strange way: "Why do you count us as Tianshui people? If there is a catastrophic flood today, those people with good houses would be willing to vacate the land. It's just you, who insist on refusing. If it wasn’t for the county lord to come to the door, we wouldn’t even be able to come in. But you’re doing well, people in your own county don’t ask you to stop, and you ask others to live in vain. What’s your intention?”
They are not the only two living in Zhang Mao's house.Before Liu Chen and Liu Er brothers caused trouble, although they didn't come up to help Zhang Mao, at least they didn't help them.But now, after hearing what the Liu family brothers said, the eyes of the group of people also became strange.It was as if they would never give up unless Zhang Mao gave an explanation.
Zhang Mao's face turned red from anger, and he stared at the folks who lived in his house, but because he now brought a few people back to his home to examine him: "My girl is seriously ill, all of you who live here, except Erhu Brother and his family, how many of them brought their own food? Now I just took you in for a few days, my girl is weak and eats white rice porridge soup, and you will stare at me and feel uncomfortable. How can I, Zhang Mao, feel sorry for you? Except for my daughter's food, my daughter-in-law and I have the same food and clothing as you. If there are more people coming, will we be asked to starve to death together?"
It was almost the end of autumn when the flood happened.Fortunately, Zhang Mao's family had a good harvest, and they harvested it early.There is still some bottom at home right now.Those people who rushed to their house eagerly didn't even bring their clothes. They eat and live and use theirs. Now there are so many words.
Liu Chen's complexion darkened instantly, and he pointed to Zhang Mao's face and said, "Don't pretend to be confused in plain clothes. Back then, the county lord gave you ten buckets of rice in order to agree to let us live in your house. You licked your face and said we didn't bring anything."
Zhang Mao was almost annoyed by this Liu Chen.He looked at Liu Chen like a fool and said: "You have lived in my house for more than [-] days. There are six people in total. Not to mention anything else, there are only two brothers in your family. Can you do it?" Don’t you even know how long you can eat ten buckets of rice? Besides, don’t talk about anything else, just Mr. Liu and your younger brother, you can pick whatever food you have every day, and you are not polite at all. I’m afraid that if I eat too slowly, I’ll lose it. I’m not a gentleman at all, and I’m just picking up a bunch of vegetables in the bowl, and the food you eat in your stomach is more than the food you were given!”
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.Just think about his wife complaining to herself last night that Mr. Liu and his brothers put a lot of food in their bowls every time the dishes are just served.A dish itself is not considered a small portion because there are many people eating it.But by the time they served the table, half of the plate was already gone.Look left and right. It's all in the bowls of the two brothers.Just feel angry.
On the contrary, Liu Cheng didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.He poked his neck and said as if they were right: "Anyway, we didn't see the ten buckets of rice. Who knows why you hid and ate them in private."
With that face, the other households who stood on their side at the beginning felt a little ashamed.I have no face to look at.
"What are you doing?" Before they could identify one or two, a tall and strong man came in from outside.What caught the eye was that he actually carried a rabbit in his hand.Although it doesn't look very fat, it is still not a small rabbit.For these people who haven't seen meat for a long time, it's like seeing a treasure.He handed the rabbit in his hand to Zhang Mao and said: "I was lucky today, I caught a rabbit when I went into the mountain. It's also good to ask everyone to eat meat. These days, the clear soup has little water, and I don't know the taste in my mouth. "
This person is exactly Brother Erhu that Zhang Mao had just mentioned unintentionally.His full name is Mao Erhu. He used to be a hunter, and he was the only one Zhang Mao invited him to his home.Just because this Mao Erhu is a very good person, he has already had a good relationship with Zhang Mao.
Liu Chen, who was originally quite sloppy, shrank obviously when he saw Mao Erhu.Even after hearing Mao Erhu's question, they didn't dare to stand there alone.
"It's Zhang Mao who brought four people back from outside today. Mr. Liu and the others felt that Zhang Mao didn't rush his own people to live in, but instead brought outsiders and said a few words. Who knew that Zhang Mao and his husband made gestures about food and clothing. Now, Mr. Liu said that we took ten buckets of rice when we moved in, but now we haven’t seen half of them.” The person who spoke was not very old, and he looked like he was only in his teens.Thin and small, he looked at Liu Chen with contempt.Back then he had studied with Liu Chen, and he was very clear about what kind of Liu Chen was.It's just that since he moved in, his dislike of Liu Chen has turned into contempt for him.
Mao Erhu squinted at Liu Chen, and without beating around the bush, he just said, "Ten Dou of rice? Oh, don't say that the ten Dou of rice was brought by all the people we live in, even if it is related to your Liu family brothers. I only gave you ten buckets of rice, and that's all in your stomachs. It's easy to insist that you can't see it. Although I haven't broken people, it shouldn't be too difficult to get started. It's all about raising a knife. .I broke the two of you apart, took out your belly and weighed it, and you will immediately know where the ten buckets of rice went."
When these words came out, the legs of the two brothers Liu Chen started to tremble in fright.The cruel words were put in his mouth but he couldn't say them.He just gave them a hard look, and walked to his room in a desperate manner.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Mao still said behind: "By the way, Mr. Liu, you have to pack up a room quickly. The guests I brought back still need to stay."

"Hahaha, don't talk about it, my stomach will hurt from laughing. What kind of shit Mr. Liu, ouch, I have never seen such a shameless master who bullies the weak and fears the tough." Qin Cai let himself go and sat on the bed, He and the coachman got a room by accident.It was the only vacant room in Zhang Mao's house.Originally, they thought it would be good for four people to squeeze together, but the vacant room vacated by Mr. Liu was not for nothing.
Because Liu Chen's room has been lived in for a long time, it is less messy than this room.In addition, when they were picking a house, the two of them picked the one with the best light and everything, so they naturally wanted to leave it for their young master.
Just now when they made the bed for Qin Ban and the two of them, everyone laughed together, but the coachman just went to pour the water for them to clean and wipe the bed, and saw the scene of Liu Chen jumping angrily in the room, so he came back Shared it with Qin Cai and said that he was worried that Liu Chentai would be angry, and the quilt would be crushed when he slept tonight.He also said seriously that they don't have many quilts. Thinking about how bad that person is, it's a pity that he has to cover up the quilt to sleep.
As a result, Qin Cai uncontrollably thought about how Liu Chen fell asleep because he was so anxious that he couldn't calm down and fantasized about fighting, and he felt that it was really a relief.
The night fell, and the stars were scattered on the black curtain as if they were shattered.Liu An brightened the candles on the table, so that Qin Ban could read the words on the paper without any difficulty.
"Liu An, do you think if we suddenly asked Zhang Mao if he knew the people who were involved in the repair of the embankment, would he find us awkward?" Qin Ban pressed the paper with one hand and held the pen with the other.What was written on the paper was a summary of the plan he had just come up with.
Liu An picked up the candlestick and ran to make the bed for the two of them.This is a bed that other people have slept in, let alone Qin Ban, he is not used to it.Before, Qin Cai and the others could only help to wipe it clean, because there was moisture, so they had to dry it.It can be paved now.Hearing what Qin Ban said, he folded the corners of the quilt and analyzed it to him: "Works like building dams must be looking for those strong and healthy laborers. As far as I can see, there may be some in this house. Those who participated Those who have worked hard will complain about the collapse of the embankment. In my opinion, it is better to wait and see. Anyway, we didn’t say when we would leave, so we just used the excuse that we never saw a flood. If you stay here for a few more days, you can always find out why."
"It's also..." Qin Ban put the pen on the pen stand, and burned the piece of paper without any hassle.
"Go to sleep, the beds are all made, we'll talk about things tomorrow. I've been on this road for so long, and I'm not in a hurry to find out what's going on in a day or two." Liu An feels sorry for Qin Ban sleeping in such a simple room .Especially this bed, not to mention it, because of the tide, it feels a little not very firm.He specially placed two quilts underneath.Fortunately, there is a large temperature difference between day and night in autumn, otherwise it would be too hot to sleep like this.
"Let me tell you, when I was young, the third prince was the one I hated the most. At that time, I often went to the palace to play, and he always made me feel uncomfortable. If you say that he is jealous of other people's abilities, then it's better to work harder." Ah, but he is not motivated. I still remember that what made me most angry was the birthday of His Highness the Crown Prince. Because it was a small birthday, I only called some people who were close to me. It happened that a leaf fell when I entered the palace. I didn't notice it on my head. When I arrived at the East Palace, the third prince kept saying that I must have gone out to play. He deliberately provoked the relationship between me and the prince. But..." Qin Ban and Liu An both lay flat on the bed , because they had nothing to do and neither of them wanted to sleep.So Qin Ban happily told Liu An about his childhood.
Liu An was delighted to hear it, and could still catch up with a few sentences from time to time.He could feel that Qin Ban was trying to make himself understand him better.
"So, you can't blame me for not taking care of the third prince. He looks like a villain, and he must not be a good person!" Qin Ban concluded.He felt very certain that he was not wrong.Throwing his arms domineeringly on Liu An, he asked again, "What about you? You and Master Xun are on the mountain, is there anything interesting? Do you go down the mountain every few days to buy food and clothing?"
Liu An grabbed Qin Ban's fidgeting hand and stuffed it under the quilt, and said patiently: "Well, the master will go down the mountain every half a month. Sometimes he takes me with him and sometimes he doesn't. Some of the usual dishes, Chickens and ducks are all grown and raised by myself. Just grab them when you want to eat them. But I haven’t eaten the stewed meat of my own chickens and ducks before I was seven years old. At first, I thought the master kept them for affection or Waiting to lay eggs. Later I found out that it is the master who can't kill chickens and ducks."
"..." Qin Ban didn't expect this development, he asked in disbelief: "But isn't Master Xun good at martial arts? Is it possible that a martial arts practitioner is afraid of slaughtering a poultry?"
Liu An thought about his choice of words and said with some difficulty: "Master is kind-hearted...he doesn't want to commit suicide."
"So, when we eat at our house, do you love chicken, duck and fish?" Qin Ban thought that ever since Xun Xia came to their Qin mansion, the mansion originally only had one or two plates of meat at most because he and his parents didn't like meat dishes very much. There are almost three dishes of big fish and meat on the table.When the servants set the tables, they all placed them in Xun Xia's direction with special eyesight, and found it hard to believe Liu An's current rhetoric.
Liu An himself also felt that it didn't make sense, so fortunately he skipped this topic.Pressing Qin Ban's head, he said, "Go to sleep, it's getting late!"
"..."
Here Liu An and Qin Ban have gradually entered their dreams, but Liu Chen's side is really flying and jumping.
"Can't you sleep on the floor? The bed in this house is not big, and it's difficult to sleep alone. If there are two of you, let's not sleep together!" Liu Chen looked at Liu Er angrily.Being extremely domineering, he occupied the entire bed, but he didn't mean to ask Liu Er to come up at all.
Liu Er also felt annoyed.To be honest about today's matter, if it wasn't for his brother's impatience to stir up trouble, he wouldn't have helped.Then maybe someone else vacated the house and asked that young merchant surnamed Qin to live with his retainers.
It's good now, Liu Chen himself caused trouble and lost his house. It's a small matter, but it's a big thing if he loses face.Now this is his house, half of it can be generously allocated because Liu Chen is his elder brother.In the end, this man was really nice, with a dead face that pushed his nose on his face, and even tried to make him sleep on the ground!
"I didn't say that, Liu Chen, don't go too far. The floor is so damp. There is only one quilt in this room. Could it be that you tell me to sleep on the floor or can you sleep without a quilt?"
There are only two brothers in the Liu family.Because Liu Chen has a good brain, his parents are naturally biased.Especially after he was admitted to Jieyuan, he walked around at home even more.Not to mention Liu Er, even their father listened to Liu Chen.I think the eldest son is a man of fame.If you know more, you must be right.
Liu Chen is used to domineering at home, and when he heard that Liu Er actually spoke to him in such a tone, he took advantage of the situation and kicked him: "How dare you talk to me like this?"
Liu Er had been holding back his anger for a long time and had nowhere to vent it.At this moment, being kicked seemed to have suddenly found a vent, picked up the cup next to it and fell to the ground.
"Don't think I'm afraid of you! Why don't I dare to talk to you like this? Now you and I are just people who go out under the fence and can't even eat enough. Why do you have to be superior? Is it possible? Are you still pointing at me to serve you tea and water?" In terms of force, let alone one Liu Chen, even ten Liu Chens can't beat him alone. Sleeping, if you think the bed is small, then I have no problem with you lying on the floor. Anyway, the floor is big."
After finishing speaking, he moved his hand directly, grabbed Liu Chen's arm and pulled him up from the bed.Do you really think that there is nothing you can do about him lying there like a rascal?
☆, 114
Originally, Zhang Mao's house was damaged in many places due to the flood.Although there is still a distance between the rooms, the Liu family brothers made too much noise last night.When a group of people were sitting there waiting for breakfast early in the morning of the second day, they looked at the Liu family brothers who were wobbling and apparently not resting well, with weird eyes.
"What are you looking at? Don't think that since you robbed my house, I will be inferior to you!" Liu Chen was beaten several times by Liu Er yesterday. On the face, the corner of the mouth was actually broken.Looking at the faces of these people now, I'm afraid they are all looking at him as a joke.He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he naturally got angry at Qin Ban, who was the most innocent and irritated.
Qin Ban obviously saw through his little thoughts and thought it was ridiculous.He didn't know when he became a soft persimmon in the eyes of others: "I didn't say that. Besides, it's not called robbing your house, right? To put it bluntly, Mr. Liu is just a borrower. It can only be said to be the Teng position."
But he laughed his big teeth away. According to him, if he hadn't robbed the house, he could still be on an equal footing with himself, right?Among other things, just by looking at his face, I don't know what gave him such confidence.
In this place where eating is a problem, Qin Cai unexpectedly peeled a big red apple for Qin Ban silently.The peel of the fruit is extremely thin, and the plump flesh looks sweet and delicious, making everyone at the table swallow their saliva.Qin Cai's hand swayed casually in the air, and after the last clean cut, circles of fruit peels fell on the table.If you take it with your hands, you can find that this must be a skilled person, because the thin peel is still elastic and bounces a few times without any intention of breaking.
"Master, you eat." As he spoke, he stabbed the apple three times with a paring knife, picked out a piece of fruit and handed it over.When the knife went down, the sweet juice overflowed like this,
"Suck~" Liu Chen was originally a person who wanted to enjoy himself.At this moment, smelling the smell, there is no integrity to speak of, and he patted the table and shouted: "You, you, since you live here now, you should share something with everyone. Like our food or something Yes, but they are all put together." When he was speaking, his eyes were fixed on the big apple in Qin Cai's hand, if he hadn't got a knife in his hand and was afraid of stabbing him, he would have stretched out his hand to grab it.
How else to put it, some people are born without such a thing as face.
Qin Ban looked at his longing look, hooked the corners of his mouth and asked, "Oh? Didn't you talk about it well yesterday? You ate the food yourself. If you really say that, you have to give it to the Zhang family. For work, after all, you only took food, such as firewood, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but they are all from other people’s homes.” Turning the subject, he stretched his hand forward and said, “I will eat such a big fruit too. I can't finish it, how about this, I can give you something to eat, my young master is bored and wants to hear a dog bark, isn't Mr. Liu the only one who can do it?"
"You!" The skin of Qin Ban's hands is delicate, even whiter than the flesh of the fruit.The ten fingers are slender and round, and they are not workers at first glance.Seeing that Liu Chen stretched out his hand and was about to grab it, Liu An who was next to him hit Liu Chen's hand directly.Instead of grabbing this fruit, he fell to the ground and said, "You rich people will bully us poor people with the money in your pocket!"
"Hey, I dare not say that. If I remember correctly, Mr. Liu is a Jieyuan. How can he say that he is a poor man?" Qin Ban just looked down on Liu Chen and wanted to torment him on purpose.
Probably because he knew that he couldn't quarrel with Qin Ban and the others anyway, so if he said to do it, that would be even worse.So he stood up immediately, took two big steamed buns from the table and took away a bowl of porridge: "Hmph, I don't care about you! Rude!"
"Pfft!" Qin Ban couldn't bear to see Liu Chen obviously wanted to put on airs, but he didn't have the backbone, he was so greedy and ugly that he still wanted to shake his sleeves, and in the end he almost threw off those two steamed buns. Laughed out loud.He conveniently stuffed the apple he had been holding into Liu An's mouth, and said to Qin Cai, "Peel a few more, and when the time comes, cut everything up and share it with everyone."
Although Liu Chen is hateful, he is also from their county after all.When Qin Ban humiliated Liu Chen in disregard of his face just now, some of those present felt that Qin Ban was indeed the young master of a wealthy family, and he was used to being arrogant.
But now, this young master is willing to ask his servants to share the fruit he brought with them.For a while, many people hesitated.I was worried that he would play with them like Liu Chen for fun.
"This can't be allowed, this, this fruit has been replaced by something precious in the past. What's more, now. Young Master Qin, we will accept your wish, and don't listen to Liu Chen's nonsense just now. What's the matter? It is reasonable to take out all your own things." Zhang Mao was really grateful to Qin Ban, and he was the first to stand up at this moment.As the saying goes, if you don't get rewarded for your merits, at best, he provided Qin Ban with a place to live, and this was what Qin Ban bought with the bronze mirror himself.Yesterday's pastry was already a surprise.
Qin Ban smiled, gave him a strange look and said, "Why do you think I take what that poor Mr. Liu said seriously? I just think that I bring so much fruit that I can't finish it anyway. Yes, rather than monopolizing it by myself, it’s better to share with everyone. Maybe it’s a matter of accumulating more virtue.”
Or that Mao Erhu is worthy of being a rough man who hunts for a living. Since Qin Ban has the heart, he surrendered his kindness.The big deal is to pay it back later.With a wave of his hand, he said, "Oh, little man, don't peel the skin for me. I'm two tigers and one rough man. The skin of this fruit is delicious. It hurts so much after peeling it. You just peel the fruit. Cut it open, gnaw it and eat it. We vulgar people are not as particular about it as you are."
"Oh, good, get rich, then don't cut it, just share it." Qin Ban likes to deal with people like Mao Erhu.Well, no brainer.
Fortunately, Qin Ban brought a lot of fruits.Originally, they thought that it would be good for the family to share one fruit, but Qin Cai was stunned to ask everyone to hold a big red fruit under Qin Ban's signal.Even Zhang Maona's daughter who came out to have breakfast together because she received the bronze mirror yesterday and unexpectedly recovered a lot from her illness also held a big red fruit in her hand.Also because she was young and in poor health, she was specially given the biggest and reddest fruit.
Such a big fruit, if you don't look carefully, it is bigger than a little girl's face.When you get closer, you can find that although it is not as big as the face, it is definitely twice the thickness of the little girl's wrist.
"Is it sweet?" Zhang Mao looked at his daughter carefully nibbling the fruit with distressed eyes, her face was disfigured.
Zhang Ning raised his head happily, his eyes were bent into two slits: "Yeah! Sweet! Daddy, you can eat too."
After the meal, Qin Ban and the others saw that many people packed up their clothes and planned to go out.Thinking of the fat rabbit that Mao Erhu brought back yesterday, he couldn't help asking curiously: "What are you all going to do? Could it be that yesterday's rabbit was too fat, everyone didn't eat enough, and today I went hunting with Brother Erhu gone?"
"How can it be. Now I don't dare to enter this mountain without the skills like Brother Erhu." Zhang Mao was also unprepared, probably because the previous two meals gave him such a good sense.While helping his mother-in-law to clean up the table, he said: "Actually, those who ran out will probably regret it. How fortunate is the way to escape? Not long after we came here, a Master Shangshu came from the capital and said I came to find out what caused the drowning of the village. If I want to say what else to do, it’s the original dike.”
Zhang Mao's resolute look made Qin Ban feel that he must know something.I'm in a hurry, so I can't explain it clearly.
Qin Ban grabbed Zhang Mao, who was emotional, and persuaded him, "You can't talk nonsense. It will be a catastrophe if you listen to it carefully." That appearance makes people feel uncomfortable at a glance. I believe that Qin Ban is really doing it for his own good.
"Why is it called nonsense, I know it all. I didn't know what kind of dam was built back then. Your dam was built with rotten stones and worthless broken planks. How can you solve the problem?
Liu An doted on Qin Ban, and when he saw that he had changed another hand and raised it, he grasped it from his fingertips and pinched it for him: "I'm new to Beijing, so I don't know many things. But from what I know, this At least Lord Wang is not with that servant."
"Well. Sir Wang was a disciple of Emperor Kong Long at the beginning. It was always Emperor Kong who recommended him in front of His Majesty, so he was reused." Qin Ban actually liked this emperor teacher quite a bit.When he was young, he always went to the palace to accompany the Sui Emperor. The emperor taught him a lot of homework: "As for the Yu Shilang who is in charge of building the dam, just because he is a member of the Ministry of Punishment Minister Guo De. I think there must be something wrong with him. Hmph. At the beginning, he was just a person who almost failed the ranking, and somehow he used some means to marry Guo De's concubine daughter. He hugged Guo De's leg tightly."
Although Qin Ban was very angry when he said this, for some reason, Liu An just wanted to laugh when he heard it: "That's fine, if he didn't marry that concubine, there would be more people watching you."
"What are you talking about? Do you think that admiration for me in your heart can be changed by just marrying someone like Yu Wen?" Qin Ban sat up immediately, feeling unhappy: "Someone like her just fell asleep I also know that it is impossible to have anything with me, it’s just a concubine, it’s not that I look down on concubines, but it’s true that I might not even see them.”
"Okay, okay, I made a slip of the tongue." Hearing what Qin Ban said, Liu An didn't think it was exaggerating at all.He has always corrected his mistakes, and he was more sincere in correcting himself when he accidentally said something that offended Qin Ban.
"Hmph." Qin Ban didn't need to worry about such a trivial matter and hurt his feelings in vain.
Fortunately, Qin Cai deserves to be the one who has been with Qin Ban for so long.The time to come back is particularly appropriate.Seeing that Qin Bangang was distressed because he didn't know whether he was angry or not, Qin Cai said outside: "Master, I'm back!"
It rained again just now, and Qin Cai's clothes were soaked through.At this moment, Qin Ban left him in the car to change into dry clothes because he was afraid that he would be frozen.
"Master, I found out. Those officials like Lord Shangshu and Tianshui are all crowded in the government's mansion." Qin Cai said everything he just got.
Qin Ban curled his lips and asked with interest: "Want to buy a bronze mirror?" It's really unimaginable that there are still people who want to be beautiful when it's a problem to eat enough here: "You mean we can live in his house That’s a good feeling, people who still think about the bronze mirror at this time will definitely not smell the same as what we smelled at the beginning.”
"Oh! It seems that I didn't pay attention unless the young master said it." It stands to reason that there are always some strange people who are clean here.But for people from outside, it is normal to be clean.So Qin Cai didn't notice such a special and gratifying thing.
Liu Andu breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, well, at least he should be a very clean person. If we live together, it's much better than being smoked and not daring to vent."
"But the bronze mirror..." Qin Cai hesitated to speak.The only requirement for Zhang Mao is that he wants a bronze mirror.But they chose cloth in order to install merchants and sell goods. Where did they get the bronze mirror?
Qin Ban waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Don't I have one? Just give him our bronze mirror. Anyway, a big man, how can he not know what he looks like?"
After solving the most important bronze mirror, a group of people can finally go inside.On the road, Qin Ban also asked with great interest: "Do I need to paint a scar on my face? Don't they all say that beauty brings trouble?"
"Then, will the scar disappear when it comes into contact with water?" Liu An couldn't help complaining about Qin Ban's proposal, which was obviously just a joke.Along the way, it can only be said that his relationship with Qin Ban has become more and more enviably close.
Qin Ban didn't want to pay attention to this warrior who had no sense of humor.Turned the white and didn't speak.
Qin Cai covered his mouth and watched the two people's daily bickering.I feel that since I have Liu An, my young master has become a lot more cheerful.The concern for them has really increased.
It didn't take long for the group of four to arrive at the door of Zhang Mao's house. It wasn't until you were here that you really realized why Qin Cai used the word "precarious" to describe it.
"Is there just four families to live in this house?" The coachman was used to being silent along the way, and he was not a talkative person.Seeing this house that could be collapsed with so little force now, I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Qin Cai can understand his reaction very well.He nodded and said, "Fortunately, it doesn't look good from the outside. I went in and looked inside. It's just that the four of us can only be in one room. Let the young master and Liu An sleep on the bed then." , the two of us slept on the floor. Lay more bottoms, otherwise it will be troublesome when the moisture gets on your body."
They were also lightly loaded at the beginning.Just brought some money notes.The reason why I choose to buy fabrics to pretend to sell goods is also because of this idea.What this place lacks the most is medicinal materials, food, clothing and bedding, and the other two are too easy to loot.Let alone something conspicuous, these red-eyed people alone may be in great danger.In this way, cloth becomes the best choice.
Zhang Mao heard the knock on the door and immediately ran to open the door.He only saw a person who looked like a fairy getting out of the carriage that even the officials and lords couldn't afford to ride since the flood.Although the clothes are plain, the fabrics are rarely affordable for ordinary people like them.
"This must be the young master who got rich, right? The little Zhang Mao is the owner of this house." For Qin Ban's appearance, it's the first time someone else sees him. He must be the same as Zhang Mao , subconsciously became cautious.
Qin Ban politely nodded over Zhang Mao, and then took an oil paper bag and a bronze mirror handed over by Qin Cai from his side: "I should have given some silver for borrowing money. It's just that Qin thinks Maybe those yellow and white things nowadays are probably not as good as these, so I took advantage of them and used them as a thank-you gift for bothering."
As Qin Ban said, it is really useless to give money now.If what Qin Ban offered at this time was money, Zhang Mao really might not want it.But it was obviously wrapped in oiled paper, but he always felt that he could still smell the aroma of food coming towards him, so he really couldn't refuse.After a little hesitation, he accepted it with a cheeky face: "Young Master Qin is really a clear person. Then Zhang Mao accepted it."
There is also a daughter who is just ten years old in his family, and his wife.There was originally an old mother, but after all, she couldn't survive and passed away not long ago.The daughter was seriously ill, and what she was thinking about was the bronze mirror she had lost.Now he can't refuse even for his wife and children.In the end, if Mr. Qin and the others have something to do, they can just help out more.
"Let's go." Liu An smoothly pulled Qin Ban to his side.He followed Zhang Mao into the house.
This house is not that big.On weekdays, everyone can sit and chat together if they have nothing to do.Now Zhang Mao suddenly led a group of people in, and those who were sitting and chatting suddenly stood up.
A man who looked quite thick asked Zhang Mao fiercely: "Zhang Mao, who did you bring in?"
"These are some merchants who happened to pass by our Tianshui with goods. They saw me and came to stay overnight." At the beginning, Zhang Mao did not agree with these people moving in, but after all, they were all from the same country. less than.He had a good life before, but he didn't expect that at this moment, he would jump out and make a fuss without saying anything else. You said he brought someone to his home, so it's the outsider's turn to say something?Is it possible that if they live for a few days, this will become their house?
"Be careful!" Liu An pulled back Zhang Mao who was still standing stupidly in front.Because he shot very quickly and narrowly avoided the commoner rushing up with his fists waving.
Another person saw that his accomplice was dodged, and because he was thinking about a sneak attack, he made great efforts.After being dodged, he threw himself straight onto the ground, screaming in pain, "What do you want to do?" People who didn't know the guarded posture thought it was Qin Ban who made the first move.
"What do we want to do? It's obvious that he rushed up first!" Consciously spending too much time talking with such troublesome people will appear to lose their identity.The coachman jumped out automatically.
The person who pounced on him at the beginning could be regarded as a respectable person in Tianshui County.His name is Liu Chen, he can barely be regarded as a Jieyuan, and he works as a teacher in the largest academy in Tianshui.And the person who came later was his younger brother.At the beginning, the two relied on their reputations, but they were unwilling to squeeze together with those people under the pressure of the county magistrate.Dazed, he ran to Zhang Mao and occupied a room alone.
It's not that they really exclude Qin Ban and his party.It's just that there is only the last vacant room left in Zhang Mao's house. If Qin Ban and the other four live in, it is impossible for them to occupy another room by themselves.
Originally, their family also raised two big meat pigs with fragrant salary.It can be regarded as a small rich family, and coupled with the inexplicable self-esteem of "scholars", it is even more impossible to squeeze myself into a small room with others.Even Zhang Mao's house, they all felt that if they had no other choice, they would look down on such a simple house.
"This house is my Zhang Mao's house, Young Master Qin and the others are my guests. I bring people into my house, what is your attitude?" Zhang Mao also felt angry with the behavior of the Liu family brothers. cigarette.Not to mention anything else, as long as the oiled paper bag Qin Ban gave him just now is still warm in his arms, he can't make people feel wronged like this.
Liu Chen snorted, and looked at Qin Ban and the others in a strange way: "Why do you count us as Tianshui people? If there is a catastrophic flood today, those people with good houses would be willing to vacate the land. It's just you, who insist on refusing. If it wasn’t for the county lord to come to the door, we wouldn’t even be able to come in. But you’re doing well, people in your own county don’t ask you to stop, and you ask others to live in vain. What’s your intention?”
They are not the only two living in Zhang Mao's house.Before Liu Chen and Liu Er brothers caused trouble, although they didn't come up to help Zhang Mao, at least they didn't help them.But now, after hearing what the Liu family brothers said, the eyes of the group of people also became strange.It was as if they would never give up unless Zhang Mao gave an explanation.
Zhang Mao's face turned red from anger, and he stared at the folks who lived in his house, but because he now brought a few people back to his home to examine him: "My girl is seriously ill, all of you who live here, except Erhu Brother and his family, how many of them brought their own food? Now I just took you in for a few days, my girl is weak and eats white rice porridge soup, and you will stare at me and feel uncomfortable. How can I, Zhang Mao, feel sorry for you? Except for my daughter's food, my daughter-in-law and I have the same food and clothing as you. If there are more people coming, will we be asked to starve to death together?"
It was almost the end of autumn when the flood happened.Fortunately, Zhang Mao's family had a good harvest, and they harvested it early.There is still some bottom at home right now.Those people who rushed to their house eagerly didn't even bring their clothes. They eat and live and use theirs. Now there are so many words.
Liu Chen's complexion darkened instantly, and he pointed to Zhang Mao's face and said, "Don't pretend to be confused in plain clothes. Back then, the county lord gave you ten buckets of rice in order to agree to let us live in your house. You licked your face and said we didn't bring anything."
Zhang Mao was almost annoyed by this Liu Chen.He looked at Liu Chen like a fool and said: "You have lived in my house for more than [-] days. There are six people in total. Not to mention anything else, there are only two brothers in your family. Can you do it?" Don’t you even know how long you can eat ten buckets of rice? Besides, don’t talk about anything else, just Mr. Liu and your younger brother, you can pick whatever food you have every day, and you are not polite at all. I’m afraid that if I eat too slowly, I’ll lose it. I’m not a gentleman at all, and I’m just picking up a bunch of vegetables in the bowl, and the food you eat in your stomach is more than the food you were given!”
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.Just think about his wife complaining to herself last night that Mr. Liu and his brothers put a lot of food in their bowls every time the dishes are just served.A dish itself is not considered a small portion because there are many people eating it.But by the time they served the table, half of the plate was already gone.Look left and right. It's all in the bowls of the two brothers.Just feel angry.
On the contrary, Liu Cheng didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.He poked his neck and said as if they were right: "Anyway, we didn't see the ten buckets of rice. Who knows why you hid and ate them in private."
With that face, the other households who stood on their side at the beginning felt a little ashamed.I have no face to look at.
"What are you doing?" Before they could identify one or two, a tall and strong man came in from outside.What caught the eye was that he actually carried a rabbit in his hand.Although it doesn't look very fat, it is still not a small rabbit.For these people who haven't seen meat for a long time, it's like seeing a treasure.He handed the rabbit in his hand to Zhang Mao and said: "I was lucky today, I caught a rabbit when I went into the mountain. It's also good to ask everyone to eat meat. These days, the clear soup has little water, and I don't know the taste in my mouth. "
This person is exactly Brother Erhu that Zhang Mao had just mentioned unintentionally.His full name is Mao Erhu. He used to be a hunter, and he was the only one Zhang Mao invited him to his home.Just because this Mao Erhu is a very good person, he has already had a good relationship with Zhang Mao.
Liu Chen, who was originally quite sloppy, shrank obviously when he saw Mao Erhu.Even after hearing Mao Erhu's question, they didn't dare to stand there alone.
"It's Zhang Mao who brought four people back from outside today. Mr. Liu and the others felt that Zhang Mao didn't rush his own people to live in, but instead brought outsiders and said a few words. Who knew that Zhang Mao and his husband made gestures about food and clothing. Now, Mr. Liu said that we took ten buckets of rice when we moved in, but now we haven’t seen half of them.” The person who spoke was not very old, and he looked like he was only in his teens.Thin and small, he looked at Liu Chen with contempt.Back then he had studied with Liu Chen, and he was very clear about what kind of Liu Chen was.It's just that since he moved in, his dislike of Liu Chen has turned into contempt for him.
Mao Erhu squinted at Liu Chen, and without beating around the bush, he just said, "Ten Dou of rice? Oh, don't say that the ten Dou of rice was brought by all the people we live in, even if it is related to your Liu family brothers. I only gave you ten buckets of rice, and that's all in your stomachs. It's easy to insist that you can't see it. Although I haven't broken people, it shouldn't be too difficult to get started. It's all about raising a knife. .I broke the two of you apart, took out your belly and weighed it, and you will immediately know where the ten buckets of rice went."
When these words came out, the legs of the two brothers Liu Chen started to tremble in fright.The cruel words were put in his mouth but he couldn't say them.He just gave them a hard look, and walked to his room in a desperate manner.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Mao still said behind: "By the way, Mr. Liu, you have to pack up a room quickly. The guests I brought back still need to stay."
☆, 113
"Hahaha, don't talk about it, my stomach will hurt from laughing. What kind of shit Mr. Liu, ouch, I have never seen such a shameless master who bullies the weak and fears the tough." Qin Cai let himself go and sat on the bed, He and the coachman got a room by accident.It was the only vacant room in Zhang Mao's house.Originally, they thought it would be good for four people to squeeze together, but the vacant room vacated by Mr. Liu was not for nothing.
Because Liu Chen's room has been lived in for a long time, it is less messy than this room.In addition, when they were picking a house, the two of them picked the one with the best light and everything, so they naturally wanted to leave it for their young master.
Just now when they made the bed for Qin Ban and the two of them, everyone laughed together, but the coachman just went to pour the water for them to clean and wipe the bed, and saw the scene of Liu Chen jumping angrily in the room, so he came back Shared it with Qin Cai and said that he was worried that Liu Chentai would be angry, and the quilt would be crushed when he slept tonight.He also said seriously that they don't have many quilts. Thinking about how bad that person is, it's a pity that he has to cover up the quilt to sleep.
As a result, Qin Cai uncontrollably thought about how Liu Chen fell asleep because he was so anxious that he couldn't calm down and fantasized about fighting, and he felt that it was really a relief.
The night fell, and the stars were scattered on the black curtain as if they were shattered.Liu An brightened the candles on the table, so that Qin Ban could read the words on the paper without any difficulty.
"Liu An, do you think if we suddenly asked Zhang Mao if he knew the people who were involved in the repair of the embankment, would he find us awkward?" Qin Ban pressed the paper with one hand and held the pen with the other.What was written on the paper was a summary of the plan he had just come up with.
Liu An picked up the candlestick and ran to make the bed for the two of them.This is a bed that other people have slept in, let alone Qin Ban, he is not used to it.Before, Qin Cai and the others could only help to wipe it clean, because there was moisture, so they had to dry it.It can be paved now.Hearing what Qin Ban said, he folded the corners of the quilt and analyzed it to him: "Works like building dams must be looking for those strong and healthy laborers. As far as I can see, there may be some in this house. Those who participated Those who have worked hard will complain about the collapse of the embankment. In my opinion, it is better to wait and see. Anyway, we didn’t say when we would leave, so we just used the excuse that we never saw a flood. If you stay here for a few more days, you can always find out why."
"It's also..." Qin Ban put the pen on the pen stand, and burned the piece of paper without any hassle.
"Go to sleep, the beds are all made, we'll talk about things tomorrow. I've been on this road for so long, and I'm not in a hurry to find out what's going on in a day or two." Liu An feels sorry for Qin Ban sleeping in such a simple room .Especially this bed, not to mention it, because of the tide, it feels a little not very firm.He specially placed two quilts underneath.Fortunately, there is a large temperature difference between day and night in autumn, otherwise it would be too hot to sleep like this.
"Let me tell you, when I was young, the third prince was the one I hated the most. At that time, I often went to the palace to play, and he always made me feel uncomfortable. If you say that he is jealous of other people's abilities, then it's better to work harder." Ah, but he is not motivated. I still remember that what made me most angry was the birthday of His Highness the Crown Prince. Because it was a small birthday, I only called some people who were close to me. It happened that a leaf fell when I entered the palace. I didn't notice it on my head. When I arrived at the East Palace, the third prince kept saying that I must have gone out to play. He deliberately provoked the relationship between me and the prince. But..." Qin Ban and Liu An both lay flat on the bed , because they had nothing to do and neither of them wanted to sleep.So Qin Ban happily told Liu An about his childhood.
Liu An was delighted to hear it, and could still catch up with a few sentences from time to time.He could feel that Qin Ban was trying to make himself understand him better.
"So, you can't blame me for not taking care of the third prince. He looks like a villain, and he must not be a good person!" Qin Ban concluded.He felt very certain that he was not wrong.Throwing his arms domineeringly on Liu An, he asked again, "What about you? You and Master Xun are on the mountain, is there anything interesting? Do you go down the mountain every few days to buy food and clothing?"
Liu An grabbed Qin Ban's fidgeting hand and stuffed it under the quilt, and said patiently: "Well, the master will go down the mountain every half a month. Sometimes he takes me with him and sometimes he doesn't. Some of the usual dishes, Chickens and ducks are all grown and raised by myself. Just grab them when you want to eat them. But I haven’t eaten the stewed meat of my own chickens and ducks before I was seven years old. At first, I thought the master kept them for affection or Waiting to lay eggs. Later I found out that it is the master who can't kill chickens and ducks."
"..." Qin Ban didn't expect this development, he asked in disbelief: "But isn't Master Xun good at martial arts? Is it possible that a martial arts practitioner is afraid of slaughtering a poultry?"
Liu An thought about his choice of words and said with some difficulty: "Master is kind-hearted...he doesn't want to commit suicide."
"So, when we eat at our house, do you love chicken, duck and fish?" Qin Ban thought that ever since Xun Xia came to their Qin mansion, the mansion originally only had one or two plates of meat at most because he and his parents didn't like meat dishes very much. There are almost three dishes of big fish and meat on the table.When the servants set the tables, they all placed them in Xun Xia's direction with special eyesight, and found it hard to believe Liu An's current rhetoric.
Liu An himself also felt that it didn't make sense, so fortunately he skipped this topic.Pressing Qin Ban's head, he said, "Go to sleep, it's getting late!"
"..."
Here Liu An and Qin Ban have gradually entered their dreams, but Liu Chen's side is really flying and jumping.
"Can't you sleep on the floor? The bed in this house is not big, and it's difficult to sleep alone. If there are two of you, let's not sleep together!" Liu Chen looked at Liu Er angrily.Being extremely domineering, he occupied the entire bed, but he didn't mean to ask Liu Er to come up at all.
Liu Er also felt annoyed.To be honest about today's matter, if it wasn't for his brother's impatience to stir up trouble, he wouldn't have helped.Then maybe someone else vacated the house and asked that young merchant surnamed Qin to live with his retainers.
It's good now, Liu Chen himself caused trouble and lost his house. It's a small matter, but it's a big thing if he loses face.Now this is his house, half of it can be generously allocated because Liu Chen is his elder brother.In the end, this man was really nice, with a dead face that pushed his nose on his face, and even tried to make him sleep on the ground!
"I didn't say that, Liu Chen, don't go too far. The floor is so damp. There is only one quilt in this room. Could it be that you tell me to sleep on the floor or can you sleep without a quilt?"
There are only two brothers in the Liu family.Because Liu Chen has a good brain, his parents are naturally biased.Especially after he was admitted to Jieyuan, he walked around at home even more.Not to mention Liu Er, even their father listened to Liu Chen.I think the eldest son is a man of fame.If you know more, you must be right.
Liu Chen is used to domineering at home, and when he heard that Liu Er actually spoke to him in such a tone, he took advantage of the situation and kicked him: "How dare you talk to me like this?"
Liu Er had been holding back his anger for a long time and had nowhere to vent it.At this moment, being kicked seemed to have suddenly found a vent, picked up the cup next to it and fell to the ground.
"Don't think I'm afraid of you! Why don't I dare to talk to you like this? Now you and I are just people who go out under the fence and can't even eat enough. Why do you have to be superior? Is it possible? Are you still pointing at me to serve you tea and water?" In terms of force, let alone one Liu Chen, even ten Liu Chens can't beat him alone. Sleeping, if you think the bed is small, then I have no problem with you lying on the floor. Anyway, the floor is big."
After finishing speaking, he moved his hand directly, grabbed Liu Chen's arm and pulled him up from the bed.Do you really think that there is nothing you can do about him lying there like a rascal?
☆, 114
Originally, Zhang Mao's house was damaged in many places due to the flood.Although there is still a distance between the rooms, the Liu family brothers made too much noise last night.When a group of people were sitting there waiting for breakfast early in the morning of the second day, they looked at the Liu family brothers who were wobbling and apparently not resting well, with weird eyes.
"What are you looking at? Don't think that since you robbed my house, I will be inferior to you!" Liu Chen was beaten several times by Liu Er yesterday. On the face, the corner of the mouth was actually broken.Looking at the faces of these people now, I'm afraid they are all looking at him as a joke.He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he naturally got angry at Qin Ban, who was the most innocent and irritated.
Qin Ban obviously saw through his little thoughts and thought it was ridiculous.He didn't know when he became a soft persimmon in the eyes of others: "I didn't say that. Besides, it's not called robbing your house, right? To put it bluntly, Mr. Liu is just a borrower. It can only be said to be the Teng position."
But he laughed his big teeth away. According to him, if he hadn't robbed the house, he could still be on an equal footing with himself, right?Among other things, just by looking at his face, I don't know what gave him such confidence.
In this place where eating is a problem, Qin Cai unexpectedly peeled a big red apple for Qin Ban silently.The peel of the fruit is extremely thin, and the plump flesh looks sweet and delicious, making everyone at the table swallow their saliva.Qin Cai's hand swayed casually in the air, and after the last clean cut, circles of fruit peels fell on the table.If you take it with your hands, you can find that this must be a skilled person, because the thin peel is still elastic and bounces a few times without any intention of breaking.
"Master, you eat." As he spoke, he stabbed the apple three times with a paring knife, picked out a piece of fruit and handed it over.When the knife went down, the sweet juice overflowed like this,
"Suck~" Liu Chen was originally a person who wanted to enjoy himself.At this moment, smelling the smell, there is no integrity to speak of, and he patted the table and shouted: "You, you, since you live here now, you should share something with everyone. Like our food or something Yes, but they are all put together." When he was speaking, his eyes were fixed on the big apple in Qin Cai's hand, if he hadn't got a knife in his hand and was afraid of stabbing him, he would have stretched out his hand to grab it.
How else to put it, some people are born without such a thing as face.
Qin Ban looked at his longing look, hooked the corners of his mouth and asked, "Oh? Didn't you talk about it well yesterday? You ate the food yourself. If you really say that, you have to give it to the Zhang family. For work, after all, you only took food, such as firewood, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but they are all from other people’s homes.” Turning the subject, he stretched his hand forward and said, “I will eat such a big fruit too. I can't finish it, how about this, I can give you something to eat, my young master is bored and wants to hear a dog bark, isn't Mr. Liu the only one who can do it?"
"You!" The skin of Qin Ban's hands is delicate, even whiter than the flesh of the fruit.The ten fingers are slender and round, and they are not workers at first glance.Seeing that Liu Chen stretched out his hand and was about to grab it, Liu An who was next to him hit Liu Chen's hand directly.Instead of grabbing this fruit, he fell to the ground and said, "You rich people will bully us poor people with the money in your pocket!"
"Hey, I dare not say that. If I remember correctly, Mr. Liu is a Jieyuan. How can he say that he is a poor man?" Qin Ban just looked down on Liu Chen and wanted to torment him on purpose.
Probably because he knew that he couldn't quarrel with Qin Ban and the others anyway, so if he said to do it, that would be even worse.So he stood up immediately, took two big steamed buns from the table and took away a bowl of porridge: "Hmph, I don't care about you! Rude!"
"Pfft!" Qin Ban couldn't bear to see Liu Chen obviously wanted to put on airs, but he didn't have the backbone, he was so greedy and ugly that he still wanted to shake his sleeves, and in the end he almost threw off those two steamed buns. Laughed out loud.He conveniently stuffed the apple he had been holding into Liu An's mouth, and said to Qin Cai, "Peel a few more, and when the time comes, cut everything up and share it with everyone."
Although Liu Chen is hateful, he is also from their county after all.When Qin Ban humiliated Liu Chen in disregard of his face just now, some of those present felt that Qin Ban was indeed the young master of a wealthy family, and he was used to being arrogant.
But now, this young master is willing to ask his servants to share the fruit he brought with them.For a while, many people hesitated.I was worried that he would play with them like Liu Chen for fun.
"This can't be allowed, this, this fruit has been replaced by something precious in the past. What's more, now. Young Master Qin, we will accept your wish, and don't listen to Liu Chen's nonsense just now. What's the matter? It is reasonable to take out all your own things." Zhang Mao was really grateful to Qin Ban, and he was the first to stand up at this moment.As the saying goes, if you don't get rewarded for your merits, at best, he provided Qin Ban with a place to live, and this was what Qin Ban bought with the bronze mirror himself.Yesterday's pastry was already a surprise.
Qin Ban smiled, gave him a strange look and said, "Why do you think I take what that poor Mr. Liu said seriously? I just think that I bring so much fruit that I can't finish it anyway. Yes, rather than monopolizing it by myself, it’s better to share with everyone. Maybe it’s a matter of accumulating more virtue.”
Or that Mao Erhu is worthy of being a rough man who hunts for a living. Since Qin Ban has the heart, he surrendered his kindness.The big deal is to pay it back later.With a wave of his hand, he said, "Oh, little man, don't peel the skin for me. I'm two tigers and one rough man. The skin of this fruit is delicious. It hurts so much after peeling it. You just peel the fruit. Cut it open, gnaw it and eat it. We vulgar people are not as particular about it as you are."
"Oh, good, get rich, then don't cut it, just share it." Qin Ban likes to deal with people like Mao Erhu.Well, no brainer.
Fortunately, Qin Ban brought a lot of fruits.Originally, they thought that it would be good for the family to share one fruit, but Qin Cai was stunned to ask everyone to hold a big red fruit under Qin Ban's signal.Even Zhang Maona's daughter who came out to have breakfast together because she received the bronze mirror yesterday and unexpectedly recovered a lot from her illness also held a big red fruit in her hand.Also because she was young and in poor health, she was specially given the biggest and reddest fruit.
Such a big fruit, if you don't look carefully, it is bigger than a little girl's face.When you get closer, you can find that although it is not as big as the face, it is definitely twice the thickness of the little girl's wrist.
"Is it sweet?" Zhang Mao looked at his daughter carefully nibbling the fruit with distressed eyes, her face was disfigured.
Zhang Ning raised his head happily, his eyes were bent into two slits: "Yeah! Sweet! Daddy, you can eat too."
After the meal, Qin Ban and the others saw that many people packed up their clothes and planned to go out.Thinking of the fat rabbit that Mao Erhu brought back yesterday, he couldn't help asking curiously: "What are you all going to do? Could it be that yesterday's rabbit was too fat, everyone didn't eat enough, and today I went hunting with Brother Erhu gone?"
"How can it be. Now I don't dare to enter this mountain without the skills like Brother Erhu." Zhang Mao was also unprepared, probably because the previous two meals gave him such a good sense.While helping his mother-in-law to clean up the table, he said: "Actually, those who ran out will probably regret it. How fortunate is the way to escape? Not long after we came here, a Master Shangshu came from the capital and said I came to find out what caused the drowning of the village. If I want to say what else to do, it’s the original dike.”
Zhang Mao's resolute look made Qin Ban feel that he must know something.I'm in a hurry, so I can't explain it clearly.
Qin Ban grabbed Zhang Mao, who was emotional, and persuaded him, "You can't talk nonsense. It will be a catastrophe if you listen to it carefully." That appearance makes people feel uncomfortable at a glance. I believe that Qin Ban is really doing it for his own good.
"Why is it called nonsense, I know it all. I didn't know what kind of dam was built back then. Your dam was built with rotten stones and worthless broken planks. How can you solve the problem?
