Chapter 71 The 70th Echo It is said that the old man who cares about pennies and bahts is a man who cherishes money

Lu Dachang's senior military officers and several senior civil servants found no one in the mansion, so they went to the restaurant. Seeing Wu Lianzhi, she asked, "Where is the commander?" Wu Lianzhi first pretended not to say anything.Later, when I was urged, I was told that it was upstairs, No. 102.Everyone heard that, like a gust of wind, they rushed upstairs.These people were almost as used to as Lu Dachang, so they pushed open the door of No. 102 without politeness, only to see wine and food on the front table, and Lu Dachang was drinking with two beautifully dressed women.Everyone said: "No, no. Looking for a wonderful person, is the commander happy alone? Everyone is happy. It's hard to say that Lu Dachang is Director Wei's wife and aunt, just smirking. The faces of these two women They were all red and burst, and I don't know what to do. Mrs. Wei was older, so she had to bite the bullet and invite everyone to sit down. When Wei Boxiu saw everyone going upstairs, he was very embarrassed and slipped away. Wu Lian stopped going upstairs and just listened to To the point of shouting: "Let's find two more people. "Wu Lian said that because his wife is here, don't be dragged away by force. She slipped downstairs and took her out of the restaurant. As for any disturbances in the restaurant, I had to ignore it for the time being. After walking out of the restaurant, Mrs. Wu said: "You Don't go, what do you do if the commander-in-chief calls you later? "Wu Lian stopped and said:" There are many guests here, the commander-in-chief will not call me.It's close to the amusement park, I'll take you there to listen to the play first. "

The two of them went to the amusement park and booked a room to listen to the opera at the Kun Theater.Looking at the playlist tonight, it was Yu Meishu's favorite.Mrs. Wu said: "I heard that Yu Meishu was introduced by a rich man, so she became so popular when she came here. Do you know who this rich man is?" Wu Lian stopped and said, "Why don't you know? It's old man Ran. This old man and I have gambled many games together, and Pai Gow is very good. Last year in Tianjin, he won more than 800,000 yuan. Now this old man has hundreds of thousands of furniture in his hands, and he does nothing. I don’t know where he met Yu Meishu, and if he brought her to Beijing, he might not be popular, so he tried his best to advocate with her. He also booked many boxes, Invite people to listen to the opera for nothing. After he did this, he slowly started to hold it up." Mrs. Wu said: "How much will it cost to hold it this way?" Wu Lian stopped laughing and said: "That doesn't matter. He It's the father and the son who share the money, so there won't be much." Mrs. Wu laughed and said, "Nonsense, how can there be a reason for the father and son to hold the same horn?" Wu Lian stopped and said, "I say this, you naturally Believe it or not, his son's name is Ran Boqi, and he also plays Piao. The name of Piao is Gengyun Pavilion Master, and he is also nicknamed Huahua Taisui. Who doesn't recognize him in the joke scene?" Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "If there is In this matter, this son is younger, wouldn't he take advantage of me?" Wu Lian stopped and said, "It's hard for an upright official to break up housework, who knows." Then the waiter came over to make tea and set fruit plates.Wu Lianzhi asked the waiter, "Does General Ran come here often?" The waiter smiled all over his face, bent over, and said, "You, the general doesn't come often, but the uncle often comes." Wu Lianzhi said: " Has Uncle Ran come up tonight?" The waiter looked at the front row of the pond and said, "It's coming soon." After the waiter left, Wu Lianzhi turned to his wife and said, "Well, is what I said right? Look, it's already here. The man in the pool wearing a long green serge robe and a cap with melon skin is Ran Bohai, the son of Old Man Ran." Wu Lianzhi looked down from here, and it happened that Ran Boqi raised his head to see The female guests in the box met each other.Wu Lianzhi nodded with a smile, and waved her hand again.Ran Boqi also cupped his hands, seeing that Wu Lian didn't invite him to go upstairs, even though he had a female family member, it's okay, so he smiled and went upstairs.Wu Lianzhi introduced from one of them, and then sat down.

At this time, Mrs. Wu took a careful look at Ran Boqi's appearance, and saw that he was wearing a green serge robe and a mandarin jacket of Qingyunxia satin. A string of gold chains hung from the shiny buttons, which seemed to be tied a badge.He was about forty years old, although his face was clean-shaven, there was a layer of powder marks on his face, and there was a faint blue mark under his temples, but it was obvious that he had a beard.There is a pair of wide-rimmed glasses on the nose, and the eyes are constantly rolling in them.The little hat he was wearing on his head was a small round coral top, and a small emerald was inlaid facing the hat.Looking at his age, he looks like a fourteen or fifteen year old son and buddy when he dresses up.Sitting far away from each other, the scent of his body bursts towards people's noses.Mrs. Wu thought to herself, seeing him like this is not a good person, no wonder he was said to be father and son holding the same horn.They were looking at him here, and he also peeked over here.Their eyes met, and they were a little embarrassed for each other.Ran Boqi was a very clever person, so he simply faced Mrs. Wu and asked, "Have Mrs. Wu heard of this Yu Meishu play?" Mrs. Wu said, "No.

But it sounds good. "Ran Boqi said:" This will be released soon, just wait a while and see. "Wu Lian stopped laughing and said: "Xian Qiaozi is very willing to support this Yu Meishu, probably spending a lot of money, right? "Ran Boqi smiled and said: "Cough!Our old man, he is wronged!It cost more than a thousand, and I had to be called a godfather.If I arrange it all by myself, I must not spend this money. "Wu Lianzhi couldn't help laughing when he heard him say such a thing, and said: "Brother Bo Qi, since you can arrange it, why don't you do it? "Ran Boqi hadn't answered yet, when the lights on the stage suddenly turned on, the famous Yu Meishu had already appeared. Ran Boqi said in shock, "Look, how energetic she is in making this appearance? "When Wu Lianzhi took a closer look, Yu Meishu was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had a round face and a plump body. But she was not very tall, fat and lively, so she was not necessarily beautiful. Today is a newly edited play, wearing a fashionable palace dress, dazzling under the electric light. Ran Boqi said: "Today's play, she is not quite right, it is best for her to go to a little girl Ring, quite able to appear smart. "Wu Lian stopped laughing and said," I'm very satisfied with this appearance. "Ran Boqi was delighted to hear that he was satisfied. He smiled and said: "As long as the old man has a word, she will have a meal in Beijing. "Wu Lian stopped and said:" I'm not a drama critic, nor an expert. How can I say an ordinary sentence, and it's worth so much? "Ran Boqi said: "Since ancient times, once a title has been written, it is worth ten times.You are the number one celebrity in Lu Dashuai's place, and you have many friends. As long as you advocate for her, everyone will shake up when you are a stick. "Wu Lian stopped laughing and said: "Don't say that I am not a celebrity, but I am a celebrity, what does it have to do with an actor? "Ran Boqi smiled and said: "It's a big deal, for example, our father, he is just a retired military officer.You see, how many of the people he has promoted are not popular?To be honest, as an old man, he doesn't understand what watching a theater is. As long as the girls are still pretty, the old man says it's good. "Wu Lian stopped laughing and said, "Although General Ran doesn't understand, Brother Bo Qi is a fancier.

Won't you be an advisor to the general? "Ran Boqi smiled and said:" Don't mention it.The old man was very suspicious, and if he talked too much, he was looking for scolding. "Wu Lian's stopping made me laugh. Because I was thinking about the things in the restaurant, I got up and left first. I didn't care and left Mrs. Wu and Ran Boqi to sit together to listen to the opera. The two of them talked and laughed until the end of the opera. Say, see you later. At this time, someone came over and pulled Ran Boqi's lapel.When she looked back, it was Yu Meishu who followed her alone.Said: "Boss Yu asked the uncle to go to her house." Ran Boqi looked around, no acquaintances, said in a low voice: "I won't go tonight, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow." He laughed and said: "Her father knows that the uncle is not happy with him, and the uncle is going, he will never show up. If there is anything, the uncle can talk to Boss Yu face to face." Ran Bo said in horror: "She has nothing urgent to come to me Ah, is it late tomorrow?" He said with a smile, "There is always something to do. Otherwise, why do you have to go tonight?" Ran Boqi was moved by his words, and said, "You tell Boss Yu first, Tell her to go back first, I'll be here in a while." Seeing that he had agreed, the follower Bao went first.Ran Bo hesitated for a while, should he not go?It is indeed a good opportunity.go?

He was also afraid that Yu Meishu would do this or that.I have been suffering from famine these few days, and I have no money to use. How can I stand up to these greedy people?Ran Boqi hesitated for a while, feeling that if he didn't go, he would feel a little offended. Walking out of the theatre, I saw my little Volt car parked in front of a coffee shop. I felt a little thirsty, so I pushed the door open and went in, and sat in an elegant seat.I ordered a cup of milk tea and a plate of buttercream snacks. While eating, I was thinking about something on my mind.Then I heard a woman's voice asking, "Which room is it?" The man lifted the curtain and said, "Here."

Ran Boqi looked back and saw Yu Meishu with her hair disheveled, a black cloak draped over her body, and braids hanging down her shoulders, shining brightly under the electric light.It turned out that she was shrugging her shoulders and laughing.Ran Boqi held a rose cake in his hand, pointed to the plate a few times, and smiled at her: "Come here! Have some snacks." Yu Meishu held the door curtain with her hands, and said with a smile: "I don't eat snacks, I'm here on purpose. I'm here to invite you. Please drive me, and take the carriage home." Ran Boqi said: "Is your own carriage?" Yu Meishu said: "I think that horse is too old and can't run. The driver wants to get up. Qian Lai is still working hard, and I resigned him after the full month was paid yesterday." Ran Bo said in horror: "Since Boss Yu doesn't have a car, I can of course take you back. It's still early, sit down and have a drink before leaving. What are you up to?" Seeing his repeated invitations, Yu Meishu could only walk in and unbutton the cloak buckle under her collar.When Ran Boqi saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to lift the back collar for her, lifted up the cloak, and hung it on the hook on the wall.At this time, Yu Meishu revealed a bean-colored embroidered satin robe, which was very dazzling.She sat down on a chair opposite Ran Boqi, smiled sweetly and said, "It's like we've met for the first time. Why are you always looking at me?" Ran Boqi said jokingly: "Because the eldest sister is good-looking, the army loves her. Take a look." Yu Meishu said with a smile: "Don't worry, what do you want me to eat?" Ran Bo said in horror, "Have a cup of tea too." Yu Meishu said: "No, I want a cup of coffee." Ran Boqi Said: "Coffee is very exciting. You have to drink it, don't plan to sleep tonight." Yu Meishu said: "It doesn't matter, I won't be able to fall asleep until three o'clock." When she said that, she rang the bell, Called the clerk and ordered a cup of coffee.Ran Bo laughed in horror and said, "You are really capable, how did you know I was here, and you followed me right away?" Yu Meishu said, "Where are you going, do you still need someone to look for you? Tell them yourself first. Isn't this door closed?" Is your car there?" Ran Bo laughed in astonishment and said, "Do you know the number of my car?" Yu Meishu smiled and said, "Not only do I know the number of your car, I will recognize your car as soon as I see it." Ran Boqi said: "Your eyes are really powerful." Yu Meishu said with a smile: "Don't we have friendship? It's such a small matter, so what?" Ran Boqi tilted his head, looked at Yu Meishu's face, and said with a smile: " You said that, do we really have friendship?" At this time, the waiter had already served the coffee.Yu Meishu put the sugar cubes in the cup, and just used a teaspoon to stir it in the cup, lowering her head and ignoring it.

Ran Boqi said: "Are we friendly? Don't give up when you say this." Yu Meishu's eyes rolled away, and the clerk had already gone out, then she smiled and said, "You are such a daredevil when you talk. The clerk was here just now, and you are old How embarrassing it is for me to ask." Ran Boqi said: "It's not about anything else, it's about friendship, so it doesn't matter." Yu Meishu drank her coffee and remained silent for a while.Ran Boqi said: "In the opera garden, you called Hebao and found me once. Now you have come here yourself. Do you have anything to discuss with me? Just tell me here, so that I don't have to go to your house. Not good?" Yu Meishu said: "I don't have anything to ask for you. But my mother said, I have a few words and I want to talk to you." Ran Bo laughed in surprise: "Does your mother want to tie my ticket? "Yu Meishu said: "Master, you are not careful in what you say, and you don't care whether others can bear it or not? Let me be honest, the roles I get every day are enough to spend. This time I came from Shanghai. I used the old man's hundreds of dollars for money, and I felt very uncomfortable. How can I ask the old man for money again? Even if I came to add two outfits, I managed to deal with it. Last time, the old man made up a play for me. , called Concubine Yang Guifei, I was in a hurry to embarrass myself. Don’t act? My mother said that the play he made up happily by the old man couldn’t do well. I’m sorry. Do you dare to say anything else? Act? Just have to Add a few more outfits. I had to tell the old man to wait until the weather is warmer. My mother has a confused mind, saying that she is embarrassed to tell the old man, and mention it to the old man. Maybe the old man can give you a hug. I will Said to ask the uncle to pay, isn't it the same as asking the old lady to pay? I didn't let her say it." Ran Boqi shook his feet and said with a smile: "I admire you very much, you can really talk. You have to go around the boss, but I still want to Help." Yu Meishu said: "Don't dare, it's like this." Ran Bo said in horror: "I understand what you mean. I also understand what your mother means. There is no need to go to your house Go, you give me an analogy like this, I know it very well. As for the wardrobe, I dare not admit that. 1800 is the costume, and thirty-five is also the costume. Too many, I can’t take it out .If it’s less, it’s not a thing to make. Just, I’ll give you a hundred yuan in two days, and you can do it yourself. You can do it, or you don’t do it.” After hearing what Ran Boqi said, Yu Meishu felt that although he He is a trumpeter, it is not easy to cheat him of money, he is better than his father.Then he laughed and said, "Thank you, sir. A singer's outfit is the same cost. As long as the master takes the money out, do you dare say no to it? But it's still the same thing as the master said, one thousand and eight hundred is the way, and thirty-fifty is the same. But it can't be done." Ran Bo said with a horrified smile: "I hear you don't speak too much, let's talk about it in two days." Because it was the first time that Yu Meishu spoke tonight, it was inconvenient to pursue her deeply, and said: "What the uncle said , so that people can’t answer, so I have no choice but to say nothing. Tonight, can you come to our place to have fun?” Ran Boqi said: “Go, your mother still said these words, and I agreed so, why bother?” Yu Meishu smiled and said, "Master always thinks that we have nothing else to say besides asking for money? If so, then I dare not ask again. I would like to borrow light and ask you to take the car to my door, will it work?" " Ran Boqi said: "Of course it is possible. If your mother is suspicious of what to say, what should I do?" Yu Meishu glanced at him, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Grandpa's car, give us a ride, that's nothing , Why are you rambling and talking about these things. If you don’t give it away, you can still hire a car.” He shouted: “Man, you can hire a car for me.” The man lifted the curtain and reached into the car. He turned his head and asked, "Boss Yu, are you going home?" Ran Boqi shook his hand and said, "No, no, I'll take her back." So he took out the money on his body to settle the bill, and took off Yu Meishu's shirt from the hook. Here comes the cloak.Yu Meishu approached Ran Boqi with her back, and Ran Boqi threw the cloak at her. She turned her head, looked at Ran Boqi and smiled, "Excuse me." Ran Boqi also smiled, and went out with her, got in the car, and took her home .

It was almost two o'clock at this time, and Ran Boqi didn't get off the car at the gate of Yu's house, and went home all the time.Although he and his father Ran Jiuheng both lived in Beijing, they separated long ago and set up their own families and did not live in the same place.So on his side, his wife is in charge of housekeeping, and there is no one else.At this time, his wife was ill and stayed up all night.When Ran Boqi entered the room, Young Mistress Ran hummed and said, "I'm so sick, you should come back sooner, how can there be such a carnival day and night." If you are impatient, you will find fault with me. What does it have to do with your illness if I come back sooner or later?" Mrs. Ran said: "You come back earlier, and you will be taken care of in case of trouble. If you don't come home day and night like you, I will If you can't catch your breath, no one will know if you die." Ran Boqi said: "If you can get angry and quarrel with others, will you still die? I think you are full of energy." Husband and wife, if you say something, I will In one sentence, after arguing for a while, there was no clue.In the early morning of the next day, while Ran Boqi was still awake, Young Mistress Ran got out of bed, called her mother-in-law, Mrs. Ran, and counted Ran Boqi's mistakes.

Although Mrs. Ran couldn't just listen to her daughter-in-law's words, she didn't take it seriously when Ran Jiuheng and his son played the role in the dark.At that time, Mrs. Ran put down the phone and chatted with the old man again.When Ran Jiuheng heard about it, he ordered the servant to call the uncle and ask him to come to the mansion. Ran Boqi tried to borrow money from his father many times, but he didn't get a reply. At this time, his father suddenly called, and he was overjoyed. He wondered if the old man had something in his heart and was willing to give me some money. Don't miss this opportunity. Seeing him happy, with a few words, maybe I can borrow 1,800 from him.Thinking of this, he didn't even eat lunch, so he took a car to see his father.Ran Jiuheng had a small cigarette holder in his mouth (opening his mouth), and a cigarette was stuck in the cigarette holder, emitting green smoke.He was wearing a light green hala robe with sleeves wrapped around him, and he was lying on a soft chair in a daze.When Ran Boqi came in, he just glanced at him, didn't make a sound, and continued to smoke his cigarette.Ran Boqi stood in front of him for a while, then turned around and saw a tube of Three Paotai cigarettes placed in front of his father, so he took one out of the tube.Holding cigarettes with two fingers, he paused on the coffee table for a few moments, looked at his father's face casually, and asked, "What can I do?" Ran Jiuheng said, "You think I'll lend you money, That’s why you came so fast. Otherwise, you’ll be urged repeatedly, won’t you come?” Ran Bo said with a startled smile, “It’s going to be difficult if your old man says that. Come quickly, if your old man says he wants money .It’s late, and your old man will definitely be disobedient again. Is it better to come sooner or later?” Ran Jiuheng said: “Let’s not talk about this, your mother and I quarreled today, saying that it was you day and night If you don't go home, you don't care if the young mistress is sick at home, what's the matter?" Ran Boqi said: "Why don't you come back day and night? But these two nights, I listened to Yu Meishu's play and went home after the show ended. But I didn't go anywhere else. As for her illness, I ask the doctor to look at it every day. There are two old ladies serving tea, which is very considerate. Do you want me to stay at home with her?" Ran Jiuheng said: " Even so, if there is a patient at home, it is better to stay at home for a while." Ran Boqi said: "Since your old man said so, from today onwards, I will leave late and return early. It’s too much space, and I want to borrow some money from you.” Ran Jiuheng shot his beard and said: “No! I’m too desperate, and I can’t take care of you.” Ran Boqi said: “This time it is indeed a loan, and it will be approved within three months. Pay it back. I borrowed you a few hundred yuan last year, and I didn’t dare to break my promise, so I’ll pay it back when the day comes, right?” Ran Jiuheng said, “Don’t mention that sum of money, it took less than two months, and it was broken by you again. I got it back. Now I treat you with a firm wall and clear the country. When it comes to money, I don’t deal with you. It’s not that I am unfeeling. I will calculate it for you carefully. The subsidy is 1,700 or 800 yuan in total, isn’t that enough for you?” Ran Bo said in shock, “I don’t want to spend more, just 800 yuan in cash, just give it to your old man.” Ran Jiuheng said: “According to If you put it this way, seven hundred yuan a month should be enough. With your husband and wife and two children living together, isn’t this enough money?” Ran Boqi said: “How can it be enough? You just keep it If you do the math yourself, you will know that I am not lying. Just like Yu Meishu came from Shanghai this time, you have advanced her six or seven hundred dollars here." Ran Jiuheng said: "Is that also a coincidence? And She also wants to pay me back." Ran Boqi said: "I think her family has a lot of expenses, and she doesn't have much money left over from what she earns, so she might not be able to pay back the money, right? It's just a matter of making it out, and her trip to Beijing is considered a waste of time. We can’t bear it anymore.” Hearing this, Ran Jiuheng tapped the cigarette end of the small cigarette pouch into the cigarette holder, stared at the cigarette for a while, and said with a smile: “You have something to say. Quite a reason. If I don't ask her for this sum of money, it will be of great help." Ran Boqi said: "You don't know yet. She got your money, not only intends not to pay it back, but now she is following me , asked me to help her. That means, because of the two plays you edited, she has no outfits and can't act, so I need to make some outfits for her. I can't do it myself, so I don't have that kind of spare money to help her. Ran Jiuheng said, "No way." For the two plays I edited, it is enough to add three outfits.And out of the three outfits, two of them were worthless. I counted them for her, and the total cost was only one hundred and twenty or thirty yuan. I already gave her one hundred and fifty yuan, isn't it enough? Ran Bo said in horror, "what's the matter?"Did you give her another hundred and fifty dollars? Ran Jiuheng frowned and said, "She's just here to make trouble, and I have no choice but to agree to her." " Ran Boqi said: "I see that your old man is too kind to these people, and you are always surrounded by them.I also have frequent contacts with them. If they want my money, it will not be easy. "Ran Jiuheng said: "I've listened to the play for decades, and I don't know what's wrong with it. You boasted in front of me. "

Ran Boqi said: "It depends on everyone's skills. It doesn't matter how long you have been listening. I can't learn from you in other things. If you talk about listening to operas, I will never drive you away." Come on." Ran Jiuheng said: "You can catch up with me in listening to opera, and you have to catch up with me in earning money. If you only learn how to spend money, but don't learn how to earn money, what kind of skill is that?" Although Ran Boqi said in his heart that Lao Tzu was not good at holding roles, but he asked him to borrow money, and he dared not offend him in face.He said with a smile, "If you want to get your position, you can't find many in one country. How can I learn it? There is no other way in the future, but spend less and make up for it." Ran Jiuheng said: "According to your mother , you are getting confused again, planning to get Wang Zixian back, is there such a thing? Now that your family has been riddled with holes, you still want to ask for a concubine." Ran Boqi said: "Where is this thing? Not to mention anything else, where did this sum of money come from?" Ran Jiuheng said: "Humph! If there is no money, you have already got it back. It is said that Wang Zixian will not be on stage, It's your relationship." Ran Boqi said: "That's really wronged, she originally agreed with the backstage, five yuan a play. This is already half of the obligation, but she took the role of the play, 20% off Buckle, always unhappy. When she loses her temper, she asks for leave and quits acting. What does this have to do with me?" Ran Jiuheng said: "Since it has nothing to do with you, why are you so familiar with her affairs? You have I don’t care about you if you want to be an actor. If you want to get this kind of person back, I can’t ignore it. Think about it, your wife is already so sick, and you still have the heart to ask for an actor to come back. Don’t you piss her off to death? Ran Boqi said: "There is absolutely no such thing. Wang Zixian also worshiped your old man as a goddaughter, but there is no contact for two or three years. If you don't believe me, call her and ask her to ask." Ran Jiuheng said: "Don't use such words to slander. I don't want you to beg for Wang Zixian because I'm afraid you won't be able to support her. It's not because I know Wang Zixian that I won't allow you to beg for it." Speaking of this, Mrs. Ran came out of the room and said with a sneer: "You are a good father and son. I don't have enough energy to hold the role, and my son takes over. I recognize my daughter, and my son is about to ask for her to be his concubine. Ran Jiuheng frowned, pointed the small cigarette holder in his hand at his wife, and said, "Hey, hey." Mrs. Ran said, "What's the matter? Bohai is so useless, you brought it all." Ran Boqi walked up to Beside his mother, he said with a smile: "If you want to scold me, old man, just scold me. Later, everyone will be angry because of a small matter." Mrs. Ran said: "Still angry! Your wife is about to die of anger at you." Uncle Ran Shocked: "Don't listen to the words she said on the phone. They are all her angry words, lying to you old man. Because she wants to ask the German doctor to see, I said it is not very important, don't waste that wrong money, come on It costs more than ten yuan for a trip. She was not convinced, so she filed a lawsuit." Mrs. Ran said: "Isn't she not convinced at first! You have money to sit in the box, and you have money to hold actresses. Money." Ran Boqi took a step closer, tugged at his mother's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Where is the money? This month's shortfall of several hundred yuan in income is all borrowed from others." Said When I got here, I smiled at Mrs. Ran and said, "Hey, I'm here to beg you today. You can lend me three hundred and five hundred, so that I can block the creditors." Mrs. Ran flicked her sleeves and said "I don't have money, so don't bother me. The rich are sitting in front of you, and you won't beg to go?" Ran Jiuheng knew that he was referring to him when he heard his wife's words.He straightened his face and said, "Where did I get the money? I haven't collected the rent for the past few days, don't you know?" Ran Boqi said: "The money borrowed this time is for a period of one month, and it will be returned upon maturity. I beg you to accommodate two or three hundred yuan, right? "Ran Jiuheng said: "Your credit is bankrupt, I can't lend it to you.Since you can pay it back when the time comes, why not borrow it from outsiders? "Looking at this situation, Ran Boqi really couldn't afford to borrow money. However, it was fine, but he was scolded by his parents, and he felt a little dissatisfied. So he didn't say anything, and walked out lazily. The one who was walking out the door At that time, I saw Li Laosan, who was collecting the house money for his father, walking in with a leather bag. Yin asked: "How is the house money collected? Is there anything wrong?" "Li Laosan said:" Tianjin's money is all collected, even Beijing is still two or three hundred yuan short. "Ran Boqi said:" When did the Tianjin money come from? " Li Laosan smiled and said: "Master, if you want to ask the general for money, you can strike while the iron is hot. The money was brought from Tianjin yesterday afternoon, and it is stored in the safe. It has not been sent to the bank yet." Ran Boqi smiled, After saying "Excuse me", I went out and got into the car.Then he ordered the car to drive all the way to Yu Meishu's house. Yu Meishu's father, Yu Dehai, was carrying a thrush cage, and was going out to go to a small teahouse. When he saw the car arriving, he quickly shrank into the door.Just as Ran Boqi was about to get out of the car, Yu Meishu greeted him from the house. Ran Boqi got out of the car, held her hand and said with a smile: "You can't guess that I will come to your house at this time?" Yu Meishu's mother, Aunt Yu, also walked out of the yard with a smile and said, "Hey! What kind of wind is it today? Did the uncle blow it?" Ran Boqi said: "Boss Yu invited me to have breakfast last night, why are you pretending to be confused?" Aunt Yu said: "Success! Succeed! As long as the uncle is willing to save face, you can have breakfast with me." Ran's father and son didn't like him very much, and while they were talking lively, they lifted the thrush cage and slipped out quietly.Here, the Yu family's mother and son introduced Ran Boqi into the North House.Yu Meishu accompanied her to talk, and Aunt Yu went to buy tea and smoke.Ran Boqi smiled and said, "I didn't come to your house for dinner, I just wanted to invite you to dinner, I don't know if you would like to show face or not?" Yu Meishu said: "Master told me to go, can I say no?" Ran Boqi said: "Just go if you want to go, I still have a lot to say to you." I'm just joking." Ran Boqi said seriously, "I'm fine like that, so I came all the way here to make fun of you? I really have something to discuss with you, and there must be benefits and no harm for you. Yu Meishu blushed and said: "You Since it's a treat, why invite me?Wouldn't it be nice to invite my mother along with Shun Shui's favor?If you have something to say, let her discuss one too. "Ran Boqi knew that Yu Meishu had another misunderstanding, and said with a smile: "You don't treat me as an honest person, what's the point of going to have a meal together in broad daylight?Can I still eat a piece of your meat? "Hearing what he said, Yu Meishu blushed even more, and said with a smile," I didn't say anything else, but I want the uncle to invite one more guest.If the uncle doesn't want to invite you, that's fine. What can I say?Wait a minute, I'm going to change clothes. "After she finished speaking, she went into the house. Aunt Yu came over and said: "What's the matter?Going to spend the uncle's money again. "Ran Boqi smiled and said: "It's nothing to eat in a small restaurant, and I still have to give Boss Yu some beautiful outfits. Don't thank me first, wait until the outfit is brought, and thank me together. "After speaking, I turned around and saw Yu Meishu coming out after changing clothes, putting on her hat and leaving. Aunt Yu said: "Why are you so busy?It doesn't matter if you sit for a while. "Ran Boqi said: "This matter I discussed has a lot to do with time, so we don't have to be polite. "While talking, she walked out, and Yu Meishu followed. The two got into the car and went. Ran Boqi said to the driver: "Let's find a restaurant nearby to eat, don't go far. "The chauffeur agreed, drove the car, only made two turns, and stopped at the gate of Xinfeng Building. Ran Boqi smiled and said: "It's not far to go home, and there is no delay. " The two entered the restaurant, found a room to sit down, Ran Boqi immediately asked for a pen and paper, opened the menu, wrote something himself first, then stopped his pen and tilted his head to ask: "What do you want? Tell me quickly! "Yu Meishu smiled and said: "What's the matter, are you in such a hurry?" Ran Boqi said: "I've ordered the dishes, I'll tell you naturally." Yu Meishu really smiled and ordered a dish and a soup.Ran Boqi opened two more dishes by himself, put down the pen in his right hand, held the slip of paper with the menu between two fingers in his left hand, threw it into the middle of the table, and said to the waiter standing aside: "Take it. The sooner the better! The buddy left, and Yu Meishu said: "You are in such a hurry, what is the matter? If you don't tell me, I won't eat your food. I know what you are up to!" Saying this, she stood up and put her hands on the table. Sitting on the table, shook his head, and said with a smile, "I really can't hold back."Ran Boqi tugged at her sleeve and said, "Don't go. Sit down and let me tell you slowly." Then he told Yu Meishu his plan.Then he said with a smile, "I'll thank you for five hundred yuan after it's done. Don't you think it's too little?" After listening to him, Yu Meishu just sat and listened quietly with a smile on her face, still a little bit unwilling to believe it.Now Ran Boqi actually said it was five hundred yuan, which is true.She bit her lower lip with her upper teeth, fixed her gaze, and thought about it.Ran Boqi said: "You don't need to be distracted, this decision has nothing to do with you. If you don't agree, you will miss a good opportunity." Yu Meishu said: "If the old lady knows about this, I will be in trouble." Ran Boqi said: "This way How would he know? But according to my estimate, I'm afraid it's only more than a thousand dollars. If it's two thousand dollars, I'll give you another two hundred." Yu Meishu said with a smile: "I'm not talking about the amount of money Well, what's the point of doing this little thing with your uncle? I'm really afraid that the old man will become suspicious of me, and I can't bear it. As for whether the two thousand is not more than two thousand, the uncle should know what it has to do with me. " Ran Bohai took two black wooden chopsticks and knocked on the edge of the table, suddenly he grabbed the chopsticks together and slapped down.Said: "Good! Don't ask if it's two thousand or not, I'll give you six hundred yuan. You see, I'm worthy of you for this matter, sorry for you? "Yu Meishu said: "You always suspect that I don't have enough money, so I have to do this matter. "When I said this, the waiter had already brought the food. Yu Meishu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll make a phone call and let the old man stay at home. Later, let's drink two pots and go slowly. "After finishing speaking, Yu Meishu really went to make a phone call. Turning around and entering the door, she said with a smile: "This call is really a coincidence. He was going to go out, but now he is waiting for me at home and won't leave.The old man is waiting there anyway, go slowly, it doesn't matter. "So the two talked and laughed while eating and drinking. After eating, Ran Boqi held Yu Meishu's hand and said: "After the matter is completed, I will thank you very much. "Yu Meishu slammed her hand and said:" You are really not easy to mess with. You asked me to do such a big thing, and you still want to take advantage of me. "Ran Boqi laughed loudly, and this was the end of the story, and the two parted ways. If you want to know what they did, I will break it down next time.
