Chapter 13 6. My years in Master's hall

Following the grandfather means that food and clothing are guaranteed.There is a "shilu" every other month at the hall, which means a dinner party.Generally, people with Batou qualifications participate, and sometimes they will bring some well-behaved little feet. Grandfather would call me every time, Erbatou was of course happy, because I belonged to him, but the other Batou were puzzled, such a stupid and ugly thing, why let him serve?Grandfather said, "Silly Liang used to be a waiter, he was good at serving tea and water, let him serve!" In fact, every time I eat, there are dedicated servants to serve, and I don’t need to serve tea and water at all, but since I came to the hall, my grandfather asked me to do these things, and every time I eat, I am terribly tired.Others drink and eat, I will pour wine for this one, and tea for that one, just sit down, someone is going to smoke again, I quickly take out the flint to hit him, after a meal, I haven’t filled my stomach with a few mouthfuls of food , but also so busy that my back hurts and my legs hurt.

But I don't care, at least, this is my own people, unlike in the teahouse, others treat me like a dog.Here, everyone is brothers, they are Batou and elders, this is what I should do, although I am tired, I am happy. I found that my grandfather is a very determined person. Every time he drinks, he drinks a lot. He drinks every time he is toasted, but he has never been drunk, unlike Erbatou, who is drunk every time He drank under the table, vomited and pulled, and finally had to clean up for him. When I first arrived at the hall, I felt that this was a happy family, and I found the long-lost feeling of home again.But after eating a few times, I found that there are contradictions between each batou, even between batou and grandfather.It's just that some things are not on the table, but sometimes the atmosphere is very wrong.Once, Erbatou almost got into a fight with Sanbatou because of a few words.Sanbatou laughed at Erbatou as a "soil turtle", saying that he should learn poetry and songs, otherwise he would not be able to get rid of the spirit of "soil turtle".Of course Erbatou quit, and said, "You fucking know nothing! How much money do I get back from Tangkou every year? You fucking know how to cheat and go shopping in brothels!"

At such moments, grandpa didn't speak and watched them perform.When they noticed that grandpa's face changed suddenly and he was really angry, they fell silent.At this time, Grandpa said calmly, as if nothing had happened, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, drink, drink." : "Drink, drink." Everyone drank with the grandfather.Then the grandfather laughed out loud, and the others were stunned at first, and then laughed along with the grandfather, not knowing whether they really understood the grandfather, or pretended to understand.In short, I will never be able to guess Grandfather's heart.

After a long time, I found that there are several layers of relationships. The first is the grandfather. He is the boss of the hall and has absolute authority. When he stares, no one dares to say anything.Then there are Dabatou and Erbatou. They have been with grandfather for a long time and belong to the guards of grandfather. In fact, they have a very good relationship, and Sanbatou and Wubatou are the most close. They are all cultural people!Although the entrance time of Sibatou is not as long as that of Dabatou and Erbatou, he has a good relationship with Erbatou, because the props he made are used the most in Erbatou.As for Liubatou, he runs outside every day and can't tell who is far and who is close.Qibatou is Erbatou's dog, he looks like a slave, I don't bother to talk to him.

In addition to eating and drinking, I almost touched a woman.That was one month after I joined Tangkou, one day after the church meeting, Erbatou said to me: "Datou, Erbatou will take you to see the world." At that time, Sanbatou and Wubatou were also there, And a few little feet. To be honest, I have lived for 20 years and I have never touched a woman's hand. I didn't realize until I went to a brothel that Erbatou meant "to see the world".Before entering the door, Erbatou told me: "Remember, you are the master now! All the girls here are serving you! Don't be soft-hearted! Don't be so thin-skinned!"

My heart was pounding, I looked at the other little feet, they were gearing up, looking eager to try. After entering the brothel, the bustard greeted me with a smile, so polite.Erbatou, Sanbatou, and Wubatou are all familiar with the road, and they naturally took up the style of the master, and we little feet followed closely behind.When drinking flower wine, we divided into two tables, one table for three dams, and one table for us little feet. After a few dams ordered girls for myself, let us also order.How dare we, I didn't even dare to look up at the girls, and finally Er Batou said, "You bastard! Let me order some!" He ordered a few at one go, and the girls came to us happily.

Sitting next to me is Xiaojiabiyu type, not tall, but very supple, with fair skin and sparkling eyes.As soon as I sat down, a faint scent of rouge rushed towards me, which made me a little confused. She quickly grabbed my hand. I panicked and didn't dare to look at her, my face turned red. Afterwards, a little foot said to me: "Brother, do you know that at that time, with your virtue, your whole head was like a blushing cow's egg!" I said in my heart: Just you!The muscles around your fucking nose keep twitching like a cow's asshole shrinks after shitting. Seeing that we couldn't let go, Erbatou glared at us!He glared and we forced ourselves to let go.

When drinking, the girls will put vegetables in your mouth. I have grown up so much, besides my mother, this is the second woman to put vegetables in my mouth.I knew in my heart that with my cowardly appearance, the girl was looking at the banknotes in my pocket.They must have thought: It’s not a good thing to pinch someone, it’s like feeding pigs. After drinking two hours of flower wine, a few Batou took the girl upstairs.Before Erbatou went upstairs, he turned his head and said to our little feet: "Don't f*cking patronize drinking, you're not here for drinking!" Alcohol is promiscuous, and you will become more courageous after drinking alcohol.Seeing the other little feet hugging the girl up the stairs, I couldn't help but follow her up the stairs.

Entering the girl's wing room, there was another burst of strong fragrance. The bedding and gauze curtains in the room must have been incensed. In short, it was incense, which made people dizzy. The girl said to me: "Grandpa, wash it up." She pulled me to the basin stand in the corner, on which there was a copper washbasin with half a basin of clean water in it. I thought, it's time to wash, dizzy, I lowered my head, picked up the water and splashed it on my face, after a few washes, I became more awake.Looking back at the girl, I found that she was staring at me blankly, as if she was dumbfounded. I was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a hand towel? Wipe your face."

The girl giggled, making me laugh silly, "What's wrong?" The girl covered her face and said, "Master, this is not for you to wash your face, it is for you to wash your bottom." There was a bang in my head, and my face flushed with embarrassment.Wash the bottom?That is to say, countless people have washed the bottom with this basin.I just washed my face with it and I felt sick. The girl took off her coat while talking, revealing her petite body and red bellyband, "Master, let me wash it for you." As she said, she wanted to untie my clothes. I dodged suddenly, and the girl was puzzled: "Master, what's wrong?"

I said, "How old are you?" The girl said, "Sixteen." I took a handful of money out of my pocket and stuffed it into her hand, then ran downstairs.A girl's voice came from behind: "Master, don't go!" Afterwards, when everyone was meeting up, Erbatou asked me how I was doing, and I said, very good, very good!Erbatou said with a smile: "You are a brain melon seed, it's not bad, the second master will often bring you here in the future!" After returning to the hall, some days later, after a hall meeting, my grandfather said to me: "Big head, you stay here, I have something to tell you." After the others dispersed, my grandpa called me into the house. I didn't know what he was going to do. The servant brought tea, and my grandpa said, "Taste the best Longjing tea." I didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in my grandfather's gourd, so I took the teacup and drank a couple of sips. The grandfather opened the fan, fanned it, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you do it?" I was taken aback, "What didn't you do?" Grandfather coughed: "With that girl!" I was surprised: "Ah? How do you know?" Grandpa laughed. I suddenly realized: my grandfather sent someone to spy on me. Grandpa said: "Tell me, why? Don't be shy, tell the truth." I said hesitantly: "She is only 16 years old. I thought of my sister at that time. She is the heart and soul of my parents at home. No one is voluntary..." The grandfather restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Who in the world has no children? Men only know the pleasure of whoring, but they have never thought about how they would feel if their daughter was also in the crotch of another man! If you want, don't do it to others. Datou, grandpa saw you right." In my impression, this is the first time my grandfather praised me.But when I thought that my grandfather knew all about such things, I began to be afraid of my grandfather. The days at Tangkou seemed to pass so quickly, and a few months passed in a blink of an eye. The waiter at the beginning gradually transformed into a veritable Po, and I gradually adapted to life at Tangkou.One night my grandfather called me again, and asked me again if he regretted it. I really couldn't figure out what he meant. While I was hesitating, my grandfather picked up the teapot and said with a smile: "This pot of tea has been watered down, you can go and make a new one. Since you, the teahouse waiter, have not officially brewed for grandpa since you came to the entrance Let's have tea." I heard from others that my grandfather is very particular about tea, and every time he tastes tea, he can taste even slight differences.I have worked in teahouses for several years. Although I am not proficient in tea ceremony, there is a difference between what I have learned and what I have not learned. Tea, water, fire, utensils, and emptiness, I am good at everything. The shopkeeper of the teahouse received a lot of training when he was learning the art, but he didn't expect these skills to come in handy now. I carefully brewed a pot of tea for my grandfather, and poured a cup for him. After tasting it, my grandfather said, "If you don't go to the hall for a few months, your skills are rusty!" I stood there blankly, not knowing what to say. Grandpa raised his hand and motioned for me to sit down.Then the grandfather asked suddenly: "Big head, what do you think of me, grandfather?" I didn't expect my grandfather to ask this question suddenly. The boss at the hall asked his younger brother how he was. Apart from answering well, what else could the younger brother say. I hesitated and replied: "Very good, very good!" Grandfather sneered: "Okay? Kill people? Or set fire?" The top of my head was sweating, "Everything is fine..." As soon as I said that, I suddenly felt that I had said the wrong thing, "Grandfather, I mean..." Grandpa laughed so hard that I couldn't figure it out. Grandfather glanced at me, and then said: "I have killed many people, and I have deceived many people. Some of them deserved their crimes, and some of them were out of helplessness. Now that the current situation is turbulent, the 'Jiang Xiangpai' has reached the moment of life and death. The fate of the four halls is uncertain, and now is the most difficult time." Hearing my grandpa's words, I felt blocked for a while. I felt that my life was very bad. My father died not long after I was born, and my mother died when I grew up. I finally joined the underworld. The most difficult moment in the hall, it seems that wherever I go, I will fall. What Grandfather said was true.A few days ago, he just participated in the lobby meeting jointly held by the East, South, West, and North halls to discuss the fate of each hall and how to deal with the current situation.Since the establishment of the four halls by Fang Zhaoyu's patriarch, they have echoed each other for hundreds of years. We have seen all kinds of storms and waves. Everyone cooperates with each other and has gone through countless hurdles. This makes the "Jiangxiang School" last for hundreds of years. The incense is still alive exuberant. After the outbreak of the War of Liberation, the Kuomintang retreated steadily, and the life of the four halls in the east, south, west, and north became more and more difficult. Especially since 1948, the domestic situation was turbulent, and the Kuomintang collapsed thousands of miles. The land is also getting less and less.In desperation, grandpa sent invitation letters to the heads of the other three halls and called this hall meeting. Grandfather, as the head of the Dongpai "Muzilian" hall, took several batou to participate in this meeting. Grandpa also brought a large amount of gold and silver from the hall, and donated them to other halls for crossing. Get over it.In fact, this kind of lobby meeting where the heads of the four major halls gather is held once a year. The "master dads" of the other halls all know the legendary experience of the grandfather, and they still respect the grandfather, so this time the grandfather The Lord called an impromptu meeting, and everyone cooperated.What's more, this time, Grandpa handed out so much gold and silver to them all at once, and they were even more moved. Each of the four entrances has its own characteristics, and each "master dad" also has its own characteristics.Our Dongpai "Muzilian" hall is really like a lotus flower, with the taste of "coming out of mud but not stained", especially since the grandfather took charge, he has kept Abao's way, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and was willing to do good.And our "master dad" - Grandpa, is very elegant, quick in handling things, and very civilized no matter his opponents or outsiders. The halls of the "Yue Haitang" of the Southern School are all female Abao. The fifth sister Qiao that Zhang Dancheng mentioned back then is the thirteenth generation head of "Yue Haitang".Later, after Qiao Wumei died, the hall was handed over to Jiang Feiyan, known as the "Ice Beauty".Jiang Feiyan entered the hall at the age of 12, smart and bright, and took over the hall at the age of 31, as cold as ice. Shi Mei tricked and took down high-ranking officials and gangsters in Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan. The four southern provinces were almost flattened by her. Man!But she made a precept: the sisters at the hall can never get married. In their eyes, men are for use, not for marriage. In the "Longxuya" hall of the western school, the structure of the Abaos is generally younger, which may be related to the mountainousness of the west. The elderly have weak legs and feet, and the old arms and legs. It may not be possible to make a good situation. Kill yourself first.Once the people in their halls get old, they will retire, so the hall staff is bloated, and the old guys don't work, just eat their salaries.After a long time, infighting appeared. Sometimes several old guys would die after eating a meal. Why?The young have poisoned the old to death, so Xipai is the most unstable port.The head of their hall is Qin Baichuan, tall, bearded, dark-skinned, and has a long history of contacts with the western warlords. The "Xuemengcao" halls of the northern faction are scattered as a whole, which may be related to the Eighth Route Army's opening up of the battlefield behind enemy lines.After the outbreak of the War of Liberation, the people in the liberated areas accepted the emancipation of their minds, and there were not many people who believed in ghosts and gods. Therefore, this hall actually existed in name only. "Master Dad" Qian Linyue took a few Abaos to commit crimes, and there was no basis for it. . At the meeting in the lobby, the heads of all the halls came to a unanimous conclusion: the hall should not be lost, you can start "killing", and even "kill the rich", and we will go through the difficulties first!
