Chapter 21 Section five

One day, after lunch at noon, Zhang Zhankui came to Luo Waizui and told Luo that there was a farmer named Gu Tiancheng at Lianglukou, who was the third brother of Gu Tiangen and Gu Gongye.For some unknown reason, he suddenly wanted to donate a small official to do his job. He had already prepared the money and paid it in the province, because his relative who handled the matter suddenly got an errand and left, so his work was put on hold.Someone asked him to gamble in the hall, and he won several hundred taels of silver.Because his wife was sick, he wanted to find a concubine in the provincial capital after winning the money.Now I have asked someone to invite him to see this business, do you want to do it?

On the occasion of Tian Hui Town, it was hard to earn, because the film director was not good enough, and he couldn't afford the stage, and he had been neglected in recent months.Therefore, the owner can't help feeling flustered, he may not have to kill the pig and skin the dog, but he has to break the precept, if a pig comes, he will be punished for the time being.This is what Luo Waizui said to Zhang Zhankui occasionally while expressing emotion. As for the master, it was originally Uncle Zhu.Because he is old, and because of an unclear housework, he has become disheartened.I had no choice but to give it all to Guanshi Luo to preside over it, and I only got a part of the money.

After all, Luo Waizui is a decent person, he used other means to make money, even sit on the ground and share the fat, and he did everything that everyone thought was okay, and he did it with peace of mind.It's just that he plays tricks on occasions, but anyone who cares about face will always criticize him as otherwise, this is what he has always heard; he is usually reserved and cautious, but now he has to break the precept, it's not a matter of conscience, he just feels used to it It was a bit unnatural; so when Zhang Zhankui came to ask, he hesitated for a while. "Have you figured it out? Which way are you from? There won't be any future troubles?"

Zhang Zhankui laughed and said: "Your brother is too caring! Why don't I want to clean up everyone's affairs? I think, since your brother is unwilling to back down, then there is no need to stand up and let me discuss with you Go ahead and do it, okay?" Luo Weizui dropped the bong, sat up, opened his eyes wide and said: "What did your brother say? It's not time to ask you to come out to ride the fire!..." Zhang Zhankui himself knew that what he said was out of order, so he had no choice but to stop saying it embarrassingly.But thanks to such a shock, the matter was decided, and Luo Waizui mobilized his troops.

When it comes to pressing red and black treasures, if you say it is hard, you can be hard, if you say soft, you can be soft. No matter how good your skills are, if you want you to lose, you will always lose.What's more, Gu Tiancheng is not proficient in this way, and what he likes is female sex.Therefore, as soon as he was led to a room in the backyard of the Yunji Inn, as soon as he put the sheath horse containing silver on the bed, Liu Sanjin had already dressed up and walked through the door with his head down.Naturally, he understood, and with just one glance, he could see who it was, so he asked Zhang Zhankui, "Are there any players here?"

Zhang Zhankui nodded with a smile, then shouted through the window, "Third brother! Come here! A friend wants to see you!" I only heard a reply, and I was still talking with several men there, but no one came in. Gu Tiancheng stood up, hugged the hookah, and went to the window to have a look.She was washing her hands in a copper basin on a square stool in the courtyard, and beside her stood two tall eldest sons, a man with short-sighted eyes, chattering and talking about something.She raised her head and laughed, her eyes narrowed into a line; she raised a pair of wet white hands, sprinkled them on the near-sighted face, then turned around and ran into the ear room.When he just turned around, he took a look at the window on this side, and it passed by, as if it was a deliberate glare, and the short-sighted eye also ran away.

He seemed to have lost his mind, stretched his neck, and just stared blankly at the side room.Until Zhang Zhankui invited him to sit in the side room, he said shyly, "Is that okay?" The nearsighted eye saw them coming in, so he threw away his hand and lay down beside a cigarette tray on a bed. She was wiping her hands with a fine wool towel, and she laughed. Zhang Zhankui said to her very solemnly: "My third son, let me meet you. This is Lord Gu Sangong from Lianglukou, a big grain farmer in Pixian County, and a man who is willing to spend money. He is very good at flattering you, If he is flattered, Master Gu Sangong is looking for a concubine right now!"

Liu Sanjin only looked at Gu Tiancheng and smiled, flicked the woolen towel on his face, and then greeted him: "Ouch! I lost my hand! Don't be offended!...Is it a smoker? Lie here, I'm here to burn a porridge to make an apology, okay?" Although Gu Tiancheng is a food householder, although he often hangs around in the province, although he has relatives who are officials, although he has been in and out of yamen, although he himself has the heart to be an official, although he often wants to make troubles in the official circles, it is better to be an official. Thorough feet, rustic all over, the sweetness that Chengdu people ridicule.Although he is only thirty-five years old, because of his dark skin, he looks like someone over forty, just like his family's long-term son. His facial features are still correct, but he is not at all delicate.What especially shows his rusticity is the clothes that are made of fine materials but are of extremely discordant colors: the thin cotton robe of caramel-colored crepe, tied with a belt of snow-green lake crepe, and put on a collar frame of an old copy of dark green. It is already obvious that he is a countryman; add a pair of beige replica trousers, blue velvet old man shoes, and they are all dusty, and there are oil stains on the cotton robe, and a large piece on the back of the collar is dragged by braids. He knows that he is not clean, and he knows that he is not a clean farmer; not to mention that his hair is shaved extremely high, without braids, and no bangs, and the braids are yellow and greasy big caterpillars.Hands, hands that have been around for a long time, with thick and short fingers, and somewhat long nails, all covered with black dirt.

When Liu Sanjin was lying opposite him and burning cigarettes, he looked at his appearance in this way, talked with him for a while, asked him some questions, and then saw him clearly: rustic, Outside of business, she is tall, timid, ignorant, and uninterested; but what is desirable is that she loves whoring and is willing to spend money; for example, she just got a little bit of sweetness, which in the eyes of Luo Waizui and other veterans is just what it should be Cutscene, and he turned upside down.Liu Sanjin then saw that he was not very good at whoring, and he was easily obsessed. That night, after a gamble, it was Gu Tiancheng who was the banker and won over fifty taels.When you want to sleep after the third watch, the occasions in the countryside are not like the halls in the city. There is no light and no night. ——Liu Sanjin specially came to congratulate him on his bed, the two of them went crazy for a while, not only got him two big money, but also promised him that if he really loves her, we can discuss it tomorrow, and she can go with him.

The next day, I gambled again and became a banker again.Losing, not much, but more than three hundred taels, it hasn't hurt my capital yet.At night, Liu Sanjin was given a silver bracelet.She didn't want it, but said yes: "You lost today, I'm ashamed to ask for your things!" This was an unobtrusive expression, which made him feel that Liu Sanjin had a very good heart.That night she was asked to stay with him all night, but she refused, saying: "The days will be long! I am still someone else." Because he talked about family life and life experience with him again, so close!

Three days later, Gu Tiancheng lost everything, nothing but bad luck.Borrowed five hundred taels from the film official's book, but still lost.He didn't even know how to lose, and what was circling in his heart was how to live after Liu Sanjin went back with him. It's the rule to play if you have money, but to end if you don't have money. Gu Tiancheng understands the rules, so he came to Liu Sanjin alone.Liu Sanjin told him with a bitter face: When she was in Neijiang, she owed a huge debt, and because she couldn't pay it back, she was forced to run to the pier.Yesterday, the creditor rushed to this place after inquiring, if he didn't come out, he had no choice but to file a lawsuit.What about a huge debt?Not much, more than six hundred taels with principal and interest. "! More than six hundred taels, why didn't you say it a few days ago?" "I said you are a fool, you are so stupid that you can't win! Did I expect the creditor to come a few days ago? Then I am not Zhuge Liang's future prophet?" Gu Tiancheng frowned and thought: "Then what should I do? Are you watching you go to court?" "You can't get more than six hundred taels anymore?" "It's hard to say! Didn't you see that you lost all the money you borrowed with twenty acres of land? It wasn't enough, and you borrowed two hundred taels from a piece of land? You have to fight for a few acres of land to calculate it. It can be borrowed! Calculated now, there are only about 30 mu of land left, so is that enough?" Liu Sanjin bit his lips and said with a smile: "It's enough to have fun, you pay back the debt for me, what will your family eat? Do you still want me to go with you, to go hungry with you?" Gu Tiancheng unexpectedly opened his eyes, mouth trembling as if under hypnotism, unable to speak. Liu Sanjin said with a straight face again: "Forget it! I think you can't think of anything for me. If you want to hang your neck, you have to find a big tree. Forget it! You go your way, and I will cross my single-plank bridge." ,..." Gu Tiancheng grabbed her hand and said: "Then you don't want to be with me anymore!...Didn't you clearly promise me the day before yesterday,...you are willing to follow me no matter what,...you regret it today!...that won't work !... That won't work!..." She threw her hand away, and said loudly: "You are so stupid! Did I promise to make a contract with you? If you are a fool like you, if you immediately take out six hundred taels of silver, I will not agree with you." The same stupid, follow you to suffer!..." The people on the occasion also yelled: "What is it? The show is under the noses of the old men!" Gu Tiancheng was originally a bit muddled, but when he became arrogant, he didn't care about everything and started arguing against the occasion.Because of his unclean speech, he said that the occasion was not tough, so he played tricks and burned his hair; on the other hand, he dragged Liu Sanjin in and scolded him.
