Chapter 13 Housekeeping

Not long after falling asleep, the little apprentice knocked on the door and delivered a letter that had just been brought by the night flight. The letter was sent by Hu Xueyan. After opening it and looking at it, he said in a few words that he knew that Yu Si was in pain , I miss you deeply, so I took the time to make a special trip to Huzhou to express my condolences to Yu Si. After sending the letter, I will disembark immediately. This time, Chen Shilong's worries were all gone, and with Hu Xueyan's arrival, everything would be fine.After a good night's sleep, the next morning, I quietly went to the pier to wait. After ten o'clock, Hu Xueyan was there.

After mooring the boat and setting up the gangway, Chen Shilong went to the boat first and called out with a smile: "Mr. Hu!" Then he said, "I didn't expect Mr. Hu to come, it's really great." Hearing what he said, he knew that his trip was just in time, and he needed to take care of something by himself, so Hu Xueyan nodded and said: "I chartered a boat to go, and it only takes three days. Come on, sit down, Let's talk in detail first." This conversation became long, with Yu Si's lost son talking about his housework, Ah Qi talking about his own troubles, and himself talking about Huang Yi.Naturally, it also talked about how Yu Si let go of his previous suspicions and held a wedding for him, how he would personally send the bride price, and Ah Zhu's mother wanted to do a dowry for her daughter, and the wedding had to be postponed until next year.The conclusion is: "I will ask Mr. Hu to decide everything."

"I didn't expect that I would come up with so many tricks once I left!" Hu Xueyan frowned, and after thinking for a long time before saying: "Your happy event, you can do whatever you want, so let's talk about it slowly. Your Fourth Uncle Yu made it like this. It's a little nerve-wracking. I've never met his young lady, what do you think of her? Is she kind?" "Sister Alan has long been known for being shrewd and capable. What about her nature," Chen Shilong said cautiously, "Naturally, he won't be too thin. Fourth Uncle Yu only has such a daughter."

"Now she is the only flesh and blood! I don't think she will be unfilial, and she dares not be unfilial." The last sentence was suddenly difficult to understand. After thinking about it carefully, I realized the weight of this sentence. If Sister Alan dared not to be filial to her father, Hu Xueyan, as a father, would definitely speak out.At least to the limit, he would persuade Yu Si not to give Sister Alan even a single piece of sand. "Water spilled by a married daughter", Sister Alan would not be able to fight for property in her natal family. "Mr. Hu," Chen Shilong suddenly had an inspiration, "Why don't you help Fourth Uncle Yu with the housework?"

Hu Xueyan pondered for a moment, obviously feeling that Chen Shilong's proposal had room for consideration.According to his temperament and his friendship with Yu Si, he can't ignore this nosy matter, but just ignore it, once he manages it, he will make it beautiful, and three days' work is too late, even if he adds another day or two, it may not be possible. It is unwise to be able to take care of things clearly, but things in Shanghai and Hangzhou will be delayed, and it will become "the hunchback stumbles and fails at both ends". "Also," Chen Shilong said again, with a sad face, "Ah Qi is a trouble! I wasn't afraid of her before, so let her do whatever I want! Now I can't roll in the muddy pond with her. Mr. Hu, you think I should what to do?"

This is the difficulty of people who "mix the market"!People are so kind, who is not as good as me?A little worth, always want to strive for the top, to become a man in clothes, but even though the mud is out, it is very difficult not to be stained, because of the relationship in the past, dragging and pulling, I cherish my feathers and refuse to roll together in the muddy mud, helpless others die If you hold on to it, the result is still in the same boat.Hu Xueyan is very clear about this, of course he has to find a way for Chen Shilong. Yu Si's housework is a problem, and Chen Shilong's problem is another problem. The combination of the two problems inspired Hu Xueyan to stand up and say, "Let's go ashore."

Seeing his happy expression, Chen Shilong knew that he was going to come up with another "unprecedented plan", so he asked with a smile: "Mr. Hu, you must have some unexpected idea, why don't you tell me first?" "There is nothing difficult to say." Hu Xueyan said, "I want to call Ah Qi 'Chuan Bing Lao Dock'." Chen Shilong was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help admiring him from the bottom of his heart. He already knew very well that Fourth Young Master Yu couldn't help Ah Qi.Now that they are breaking up abruptly, it's entirely Sister Alan and his wife who are making trouble.If they could be reunited, not to mention Ah Qi's aspect, at least Yu Si's mood would not be so depressed.Of course, my own troubles disappeared in smoke, let alone a problem.

"Mr. Hu! The truth is, sometimes we don't see things thoroughly enough, and we don't know the reason. Now I understand, the only thing missing is that layer of paper, which can be pierced with a finger, but we just can't see it!" "Don't flatter me. I don't know if it will work or not. Let me go and find out first." Hu Xueyan said, "Go and see your Fourth Uncle Yu first." So Chen Shilong went ashore, hired two sedan chairs on the pier, and carried them all the way to Yusi's house.Chen Shilong got out of the sedan chair first, and rushed in, only to see Yu Si drinking alone, he called out, and then said: "Mr. Hu is here!"

Yu Sidun looked surprised, "Where is it?" He stood up and asked. "He came here after getting off the boat. He came here specially to see Fourth Uncle." At this point, Hu Xueyan had already walked into the second door, Yu Si hurriedly went up to meet him, held hands and looked at each other, seemed to have a thousand words to say, and he didn't know where to start.After a long time, Hu Xueyan finally said: "Fourth brother, don't be sad!" It’s okay if you don’t talk about it, but as soon as you talk about Yu Si’s sadness, tears can’t stop streaming down, and you can’t stop crying: “It’s so boring to be a human being!” , I can't even cry bitterly.No one can complain about how much I have on my mind, and I can't express this pain for a while.Now that Hu Xueyan has been told, he will quit his post in the yamen and find a quiet place to eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha for the rest of his life.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother!" Hu Xueyan called repeatedly, "Don't do this, don't do this!" Just like this, he half-armed and half-carrying Yu Si inside, and then Sister Alan came out to pay a visit. Although it was the first time we met, she had been famous for a long time. She knew that this was a very important friend of her father, so she was very respectful. , perfunctory for a while, and then re-treatment of food and drink, dinner. During the banquet, Hu Xueyan only listened to Yu Si's complaints, and seldom spoke. One reason was to listen more, and the other reason was that it was inconvenient to talk deeply at this time.After Yu Si poured out the depression in his heart and seemed to be refreshed, he said: "Fourth brother, I have a few words from my confidant."

"Oh!" Yu Si understood what he meant, "Come and sit in my bank." When they arrived at Jucheng Bank, there was no third party in Yu Si's secret room. The two leaned on the cigarette couch and had a secret conversation. Hu Xueyan's first words were: "Fourth brother, what's going on with Ah Qi?" "Ah!" Yu Si sighed, and took a long breath before saying, "I don't know where to start, this matter—" He shook his head and sighed again. Watching words and expressions, the unfinished sentence is: I did this wrong.With this expression, it can be seen that Hu Xueyan's words hit the nail on the head!There is no need to go around and try again, "Fourth brother," he said straight to the point, "I will get Ah Qi back for you!" Upon hearing this, Yu Si raised his head and looked at Hu Xueyan, as if he didn't understand what he meant, thinking he was telling a joke.Of course it won't be a joke!Hu Xueyan never told these jokes, even if it was a joke, he believed that Hu Xueyan had the means to turn a joke into a real thing.All you have to think about is yourself. "There are many difficulties—" "No!" Hu Xueyan interrupted him, "Fourth brother, don't worry about these things. I know the difficulties you mentioned. First, I'm afraid that Sister Alan and Ah Qi won't get along; second, I'm afraid that Ah Qi has something in his heart. I'm angry, I'm deliberately swaying. These are not difficulties. I'll take care of them, arrange them properly, and only look at yourself. If you must sing "splashing water before the horse", then you don't have to talk about it. Otherwise, Everything is up to me. Just say something!" "With a good friend like you, what else can I say?" "That's fine. I want your words. Please lie down. I'll have a word with Shilong and I'll be right back." So Hu Xueyan got up from the couch, found Chen Shilong, dragged him to a secluded place, and gave him secret instructions, and he returned to the original place only after Chen Shilong led the way. "Fourth brother," he said, "I'm going to say something first, when it comes to your housework, I'm afraid I'm too straightforward, will you get angry?" "What's this called? Your friendship, even if you blame me, I will listen to you." "Since that's the case, let me tell you the truth. Your Lingmei, everyone says she is very powerful. Is there such a thing?" "Yes." Yu Si nodded, "I'm also guarding against her." "Bear and flesh, you have to be on guard at all times, that's going to be hard. Open the skylight and speak the truth. People die for money, birds die for food, come and go, and two money. I advise you to take this opportunity to separate. Daughter Wouldn't it be nice to get a copy too, so that she doesn't have to think about it?" "Yeah, yum!" Yu Si nodded slowly, "This is also a way. If you talk about it, you still have something to say." "There is also a way to divide the family." Hu Xueyan said, "I want to ask you first, did you always have a plan?" "Where do I have any plans? Once Ahu dies, my heart will be cold, and I can't wait to become a monk! Whatever they say, I will leave it anyway and let them do it. But," Yu Si paused, seeming I was a little excited, "When the little monk came, I heard about his situation, and I was more happy. Today, you traveled a long way and spared time to visit me. Thinking about it, there are still some good things in this world. To be honest, Until now, I’ve only had a little bit of fun in being a human being.” This is really what he said from the bottom of his heart. Hu Xueyan felt very comforted, and felt more and more that he should do his best for him. "Fourth brother," he said, "thanks to your respect for me, I have no choice but to talk about it in depth. Your Majesty You need to make a comprehensive plan, although there are many troubles, don’t be afraid of them, hold your chest up, grit your teeth, and sort it out together, okay?” "Okay!" Yu Si replied excitedly. He himself had thought about housework, but the more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, and he still couldn't muster up the courage to clean up this mess. Now hearing what Hu Xueyan said, he felt relieved and felt better. much. "Then, let's talk about everything. Let me ask first, how will you deal with the errands in your yamen in the future?" The household book is a hereditary errand, because there is a "fish scale book" in the hand that clearly records the land owners, locations, acres, and grants in the county.If Ah Hu does not die, he will naturally inherit the father's position. Now he has no children, even if he has children in the future, it will take twenty or thirty years to bring up his son.There is no basis, and you can't make such an unrealistic plan, so Yu Si once wanted to resign from the job, which is a rare thing, usually there are always parents and children, and the parents and children will inherit, otherwise they will accept a moth, or even pay a high price. Let, change the surname to inherit.At this moment, of course, he has no intention of resigning, but Yu Si has no idea how to deal with it. When he met Hu Xueyan, he didn't bother to worry about it, and shook his head bluntly: "I don't know." "Okay, let me ask the second question." Hu Xueyan said, "Your daughter-in-law, how do you plan for her?" "This is the most difficult thing for me!" Yu Si put down his pipe and stood up, "Think about it, I'm only nineteen years old this year, and I don't have a son. How can I abide by the law?" "What does she mean?" "Of course she will." "Keeping the chastity is getting harder the more you keep it. There are always people who keep it until they are in their early forties and something goes wrong! Fourth brother, let me be honest, we are not from a scholarly family, so we might as well look at it, and besides, earn a chastity memorial archway for our son , It’s also interesting, no son, no hope, whether you can keep it or not and don’t talk about it, even if you keep a chastity archway, what’s the taste?” "You made it clear. I've made up my mind. It's better to persuade her to marry. If there is a suitable person, I will marry her as a daughter and marry her well. However," Yu Si frowned and said, "In case she must keep ,what to do?" Of course, this has no choice but to fulfill her ambition and choose a nephew from the clan as her adoptive son, but what about the future?Yu Sizai naturally has nothing to say, if after three to five years, Yu Si lets go and returns to the west, orphans and widows will not be able to guarantee that they will not be bullied. Hu Xueyan had thought of these difficulties for him a long time ago, "With your face outside, fourth brother, you may not be afraid that no one will take care of the family after a hundred years. But it is difficult for upright officials to decide on housework. If you want to make tricks in your own clan, it will be difficult for outsiders Talk." Hu Xueyan first pointed out the crux of the matter in this way, and then made suggestions for him. Hu Xueyan's thinking, if Mrs. Ahu is willing to keep the chastity, there should be someone who can take care of her after Yu Si's death, and this person will be the future master.Yu Si had to find a young, capable, and most importantly, honest man, take him in as his adoptive son, change his surname to Yu, he didn't have to smoke his cigarettes, but just inherited his hereditary errand.What this person has to repay Yu Si for his kindness is to take care of A Hu's sister-in-law, mother and son, and the young children Ah Qi may have for Yu Si in the future. This is a comprehensive approach, and Yu Si fully agrees.The problem is that it is not easy to find someone who can "entrust the orphans". Although Yu Si has some useful helpers in the house, he is either too old and has already had children, so it is impossible to be someone else's moth. Ability, poor character, Yu Si is present, dare not play tricks, once Yu Si dies, it will be difficult to control, entrusting orphans and widows, will become a sheep and a tiger. "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a caring heart. Fortunately, this matter is not in a hurry. Take your time and pay attention." Suddenly, Yu Si excitedly wanted to say something, but just as he raised his body, he collapsed down again, shaking his head and saying to himself: "No! No!" Hu Xueyan was a little confused. Thinking about his own method, there was nothing that would not work, and then asked: "How can it not work?" "I think of someone." Yu Si said slowly, "I'm afraid you won't." It was only after this that Hu Xueyan understood, "Perhaps you have taken a fancy to Shilong?" He asked. "That's right." Yu Si said, "He is your capable person, you can't let him go." "That's the truth. But your business is also important. If Shilong really wants to, it's inconvenient for me to object." "Then let's talk about it!" Yu Si was afraid that he would make trouble, so he closed the tent by himself, and Gu said to him, "Tell me again, how about my separation?" "Daughter is inseparable, but the furniture is earned by you, and no one cares about you how you want to use it. What I mean is that you first propose a sum to give to your daughter, and you are also a father and daughter!" The words were very reserved, meaning that this way, Sister Alan's desire to covet her natal family could be eliminated, and a lot of right and wrong would be saved.Yu Si was originally a fan of the authorities, and always thought his daughter was a filial piety, but now he understands that this move is necessary, so he nodded repeatedly: "I will share a hundred acres of land and give her 20,000 cash in cash. I have to make it clear , Tell the couple to show their conscience." When it came to such words, Hu Xueyan was inconvenient to speak, and paused for a while and said: "Besides, you should be a three-share faction. If A Hu's wife must keep it, she should naturally get one share; Ah Qi will have children in the future, so she should also get one share; Keep one share in your own hands, and talk about it slowly, everyone will be filial to you if you have this share in your hand, don’t share it! There is another layer, after you have divided it, you must file a case with the government to avoid future troubles .” "I understand! I will do as you say. Now," Yu Si said with difficulty, "I'm afraid Ah Qi is still blaming me." "It's unavoidable." Hu Xueyan deliberately concealed Ah Qi's love for Chen Shilong, and even said a lie, "Ah Qi is actually thinking of your benefits. Even if you look at me, feel wronged! Looking back, Ah Qi will complain, even if it makes you ugly, fourth brother, you have to bear it." "She has such a temper, I don't care about her." Yu Si said, "According to you, I want to meet her later, where is it?" "We'll talk about it when Shilong comes back. At this moment, you've had enough of your addiction, so you'll have the energy to deal with Ah Qi later." "Cope with" is a pun, Yu Si smiled knowingly, listened to his words, smoked enough opium, and waited for good things to come in pairs. Yu Si didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he was suspenseful and curious, but he couldn't help but calmly deal with it, smiled slightly, put Ah Qi aside, and asked about Hu Xueyan's own affairs. That's something to talk about.The secrets between Hu Xueyan and You Wu, especially the inside story about the Little Knife Club, he kept tight-lipped in front of Chen Shilong, but he didn't need to hide it from Yu Si.Whispering together, the voice was so low that only two people could hear it, Yu Si smoked a cigarette and listened quietly, feeling thrilled, and looked at Hu Xueyan even more differently. "I didn't expect you to have such an experience!" After listening to him, he said, "I can't wait to break into the pier like you." Seeing that he was encouraged, Hu Xueyan took the opportunity to persuade him: "Fourth brother, the past few years have been catastrophic and earth-shattering days. I don't believe in the saying that there is no escape. , fed and clothed, and spent a lifetime in a daze, until the moment you close your eyes, if you think about it back then, you might regret coming to this world once, and that would be meaningless!" "That's right." Yu Si replied, "A person dies to leave a name, and a leopard dies to leave a skin. There is always something that others cannot do. Before and after death, someone raised it, raised his thumb, and said' Someone has the guts', this is not humiliating parents!" Hearing this tone, Hu Xueyan recalled an idiom he heard from Ji Heling, and blurted out: "'Old man, his ambition is for thousands of miles', fourth brother, if you have this heart, there is an opportunity in front of you to make a career." "Oh! Say it." "You guys in Huzhou run a team training. I heard that Zhao Jingxian is a character. If you can help him manage it well, it will protect the environment and the people. Everyone will give you a thumbs up when they mention you." Yu Si didn't make a sound, but his eyes blinked violently. After blinking for a long time, he suddenly dropped the bong, sat up and said, "You are right! If someone wants money, I will do my best. But I can't go to the door by myself. .It’s not that I want him to ask me for advice, it’s because I’m afraid that people will say that I’m high-ranking and want to squeeze into the crowd of gentlemen and raise my self-esteem.” "That's not the way to say it. Everyone has a share in the responsibility of guarding the land!" Hu Xueyan paused and said, "I'll arrange it, and ask Mr. Wang to come and tell Zhao Jingxian. In that way, fourth brother, you can save face." "Okay! You go and do it, I just listen to your greetings." He said, he got off the kang bed and took care of the gathered people to prepare meals. He was very interested, and he was far from the dejected and dejected state he used to be. Just as he picked up the wine glass, Chen Shilong arrived, nodded at Hu Xueyan, and sat down to eat together.Yu Si knew that he had arranged it, but he didn't know how he arranged it. When he met Ah Qi, what should he say?Itching in my heart but it's inconvenient to ask, the wine seems to be tasteless. "Drink two glasses less!" Hu Xueyan said, "I'll eat later." When Yu Si heard this, he drank up the wine and asked someone to bring food to eat.After eating, he sat beside him and drank tea, waiting for Hu Xueyan to act. "Let's go!" "Slow down." Yu Si couldn't keep silent, "Where are you going?" "Go to the Dajing Silk Shop." Hu Xueyan said, "I invite Ah Qi to come and meet me. You hide in my back room and listen. You don't have to say anything! When I call, you come out again." "How about after coming out?" "Then—" Hu Xueyan laughed, "How do I know about the two of you?" This joke of Pili Yangqiu means that the next step is to reunite and break the mirror, and reconciliation is a good thing.Yu Si was of course excited when he heard that, and was in a hurry to leave. The three of them went out to Jucheng Bank together, but they split into two routes. Yu Si and Hu Xueyan went to Dajing, and Chen Shilong had other places to go. The first time he was tricked was to "tune the tiger away from the mountain". He rushed to Lao Zhang and reported that Hu Xueyan had gone When I went to Huzhou, I said that I had an important matter with Yu Si to be discussed in Dajing, and it was inconvenient for Huang Yi to know, so I asked Lao Zhang and his wife to invite him to their home under the pretext of discussing Chen Shilong's marriage, and had a heart-to-heart talk, and they must trip him.The intention of doing this is because Ah Qi is going to come to Dajing, and he is afraid of meeting Huang Yi and causing inconvenience to each other. Knocking on the door of Ah Qi's house, she was more surprised than anything else, staring at a pair of watery eyes, she just said: "It's you!" "It's me." Chen Shilong said calmly, "Go to the Three Treasure Hall for everything!" "Is something wrong? Huh!" Ah Qi sneered, "You are a despicable villain, your conscience will be eaten by a dog!" "How can you scold people so well?" "Why didn't you scold you!" Ah Qi poked a finger on his forehead, pressed back hard, the nail cut into the flesh, and immediately there was a red mark. "Don't move!" Chen Shilong said, "Mr. Hu came from Hangzhou, he asked me to invite you over, and I have something to talk to you about." "You still want to deceive people, and you really have lost your conscience. It doesn't matter if you hide from me yourself. You ask Huang Yi to plot against me, give me gifts, and please him!" Ah Qi became more and more angry, and cursed loudly, "Go away for me! I don't want to look at you." When he said this, Chen Shilong couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought of the scene that day. "You're still laughing! What's so funny?" "I laughed at him as a toad wanting to eat swan meat. He was almost poked blind." "Huh!" Ah Qi Qiubo turned around and asked in confusion, "Does he have the nerve to tell you this 'face-worthy' thing?" "Why did he tell me? I looked under the stairs in the partition and saw it with my own eyes." Chen Shilong said again, "Ah Qi, think about it, why would I play tricks on you? We are acquaintances, and besides, you have private money to call me." I'm making fun of you, so I'm not afraid that you will force me to pay you back?" Hearing this, Ah Qi was a little embarrassed, smiled, and deliberately said: "Yes! I will rely on the money you owe me. If you don't listen to me, I will 'sell the morning newspaper' for you!" "Okay, okay!" Chen Shilong asked, "Do you want to change clothes? If not, we will leave now." "Boss Hu really wants to see me?" Ah Qi answered irrelevantly, "What does he want to talk to me about?" "I don't know, but let me tell you, he is lucky now, whichever one he takes care of will be beneficial. Listen to me and follow me!" Chen Shilong sized her up. Sheng, then said again, "This is also pretty, don't change clothes." Ah Qi listened to what he said, and told the dozing young lady she used to be careful of the door, followed Chen Shilong out, hired a small sedan chair at the entrance of the alley, and carried it all the way to the Great Sutra and Silk Shop. "You're getting younger and younger!" Hu Xueyan greeted her, and first poured some rice soup, and then took out a foreign chiseled silver powder mirror - which was specially asked Chen Shilong to borrow from Azhu, "It's nothing good. Fourth sister-in-law Yu, A thousand miles of goose feather and a little heart, you will use it." "Thank you Boss Hu, but I don't dare to call you that." "That's not the case. No matter how idle you are with Fourth Brother Yu, I will always treat you as Fourth Brother Yu!" "How can I climb up to their Yu family? Boss Hu, thank you for flattering me, I'm really sorry, I want you to call me 'I don't know how to flatter'!" Hearing her tight tone, Hu Xueyan didn't dare to make mistakes, and while asking her to sit down, he winked at Chen Shilong, implying him to avoid it. "Then, I'm leaving!" Chen Shilong said, "Ah Qi, the Ming Dynasty meeting!" "Slow down." Hu Xueyan asked intentionally, "Where are you going? Is Ah Zhu waiting for you?" Do you even need to think about it?Of course, it is a solid promise: "Yes!" "He will be a henpeck again in the future!" Hu Xueyan looked at Chen Shilong's back and said softly, peeping at Ah Qi's face with a look of complacency, he knew that his pretentiousness was good.It would be easy to wipe Chen Shilong's shadow from her heart first, and then win over Yu Si. "Boss Hu!" Ah Qi asked calmly, "I don't know what you want to tell me? Please tell me!" "I don't dare to take two words. Fourth Sister-in-law Yu! To be honest, I made a special trip to see Fourth Brother Yu. At such an age, I don't have an independent son. Do you think it's pitiful?" Ah Qi was hating Yu Si, and wanted to answer "It's a pity!"When the words came to his mouth, he felt mean, so he held back and nodded. "Ah Hu, I haven't seen him before. How is he?" "The eldest young master of the Yu family, in his conscience, is a rare good person." Ah Qi replied, "It's no different than his sister, who has eyes on her forehead." "Yes, I heard that you are at odds with Miss Yu's family, do you have that?" "Boss Hu, you are half right. She is the one who is at odds with me!" Ah Qi said angrily, "Her father listened to my precious daughter and wants to break up with me. If we split, we will split, and I don't care about him!" "Hey! Brother Yu is extremely confused!" Hu Xueyan put on an air of injustice for her, and blamed Yu Si, "You are wronged by following him. I don't know how he got a blessing? I think it is you who want to break up with him. , it turned out that he himself was confused, so I have to tell him a few words!" "Where is it that I want to separate from him?" Ah Qi was fooled, and tried to defend himself, "I never thought of it like this before. It's all about him, and he still wants to get two young ones. He is old-hearted, I don't know What kind of tomb treasury are you delivering!" "Okay!" Hu Xueyan said with her thumb up, "Sister-in-law Yu, I really can't see that all your sincerity is in Brother Yu." "Hmph, what's the use?" Ah Qi shook his head sadly, "A good person can't do it! It's chilling." "That's not necessary. People, always think broadly—" "Yeah!" Ah Qi hurriedly said, "That's what I think. Don't be too narrow-minded. Could it be that 'after killing butchers, I only eat pigs with hair'? I'm not afraid of embarrassment. Can't find a man? Let's see later, is it he who suffers, or me? " These unstructured words with guns and sticks seem to be open-minded, but in fact they can't get rid of Yu Si's shadow. Hu Xueyan feels that her grades are good, and if she finds out her true intentions, she is half sure. So he made excuses and said, "Of course, fourth brother Yu is the one who suffers. Take it as an example, being alone, all night till dawn, and thinking about your son with your eyes open, what does that feel like?" She didn't make a sound, and after a while, she said: "It's up to you!" "He did it to himself. However, you also suffer!" "This—" Ah Qida shook his head, "I have nothing to lose." "Why don't you suffer?" Hu Xueyan asked, "Are you in your twenties this year?" "I—" Ah Qi hesitated for a moment, and replied honestly, "Twenty-seven." "A woman is like a flower, at the age of twenty-three or fourteen, when the flower is in full bloom, once you reach your current age, you will grow old quickly." Hu Xueyan said, "Think about it, in your best years, I gave it to Fourth Brother Yu, but it turned out to be nothing in the end, wouldn't it be a loss?" Hearing what he said, Ah Qi was taken aback.I have never thought about this reasoning, but now that he is a little broken, the more I think about it, the more reasonable it becomes, and the more I think about it, the more wronged I am, I can't help but sigh. At this point, Hu Xueyan stopped talking, took a leisurely time to pick up a green-skinned and red-heart "Qiang Persimmon" and slowly peeled it, waiting for Ah Qi to attack. "Boss Hu, I'm really wronged when I think about it! People are not born to be mean. To be honest, when I was with old man Yu, I really had a good heart. I don't know that you want to be a good person, but you are not allowed to do it!" Speaking of this, Ah Qi Yiyi’s grievances seemed to be concentrated together and erupted, and he was very excited, "Boss Hu, you said that I gave him the best years of my life, and he listened to his daughter and forced me to break up. If he has no conscience, then don't blame me, I will tear his face off too." "Oh!" Hu Xueyan asked calmly, "How do you tear it up?" "Me," Ah Qi said resolutely, "I'm doing my 'old business', and I want to give him his surname. There is a sign with the surname Yu on the door, so that people can find it easily." This is also great!Sure enough, Yu Si's platform collapsed. "Ah Qi," Hu Xueyan said, "One should never go to a dead end—" "He forced me to be like this." Ah Qi rushed to argue. "The idea is new to you. Isn't it?" "Yes." Ah Qi was completely at the mercy of Hu Xueyan, what to say, "Thanks to your boss Hu for reminding me, thinking about it, I really can't complain." "Then it will be me who is sowing discord. Ah Qi, you have to think for me." "I'm sorry!" Ah Qi's face was full of guilt, "I have to do this. Please, Boss Hu, be considerate of me!" "You just want to vent your anger. Let me find another way to vent your anger for you, okay?" Ah Qi thought for a while and replied: "Then, Boss Hu, please tell me first!" She then declared, "It's not that I have changed my mind. It's up to you to say it, and it's up to me to agree or not." "Of course." Hu Xueyan said, "Don't say that you can't express your grievances, even the people I watched beside me are not convinced. No matter what, I want you to have face and fight for it. To have face is to strive for pride. right?" Ah Qi didn't think his words were right, but he didn't understand where he was wrong, so he just replied vaguely: "Let's talk about it first!" "I want fourth brother Yu to make amends for you. How about it?" "Apologize?" Ah Qi asked blankly, "How to make amends?" "How do you want to pay?" Hu Xueyan said, "You don't necessarily have to 'eat tea'!" "Eating tea" is a rule in the world. If you feel "sad", you can "call it off" face to face. There has never been a rule of eating tea like this kind of housework.But besides, Ah Qi couldn't think of how to ask Yu Si to apologize, so he just opened a pair of black and white eyes, staring at Hu Xueyan in a daze. "Ah Qi, whether you apologize or not, it's all fake. Only one person's feelings are true. As long as Fourth Brother Yu gives you his sincerity, it's almost the same!" On the one hand, Ah Qi felt that what he said was not unreasonable, and on the other hand, he felt that what he said might have a deep meaning.Putting the two thoughts together, you have to think about it carefully, so you put your hands on your knees, lower your head and lower your eyes, and you can see the eyelashes flickering. That demure posture looks really moving. She was still thinking about it carefully, but Hu Xueyan went too far in circles, and he was a little impatient, so he decided to reveal the answer. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Sister-in-law Yu, in fact, you have already figured out your grievances, you just now The one on the left is 'unconscionable', and the one on the right is 'foolish', scolding so much that they don't say a word, which means that they have made amends to you, and you can calm down." This statement made Ah Qi baffled, and it took a long time before he said, "I am 'the emperor scolding the faint emperor behind his back', and he is not here, how can he hear me?" "Who says it's not here?" Hu Xueyan knocked on the board wall, "Fourth Brother Yu, you can come out now, and then come and say something nice to Sister-in-law Yu!" "Oh!" Yu Si lifted the curtain in response, slightly embarrassed, and called out first, "Ah Qi!" Only at this time will Ah Qi feel relieved. When the "enemies" meet each other, they will get angry first, turn around and leave.Unexpectedly, there was an ambush outside the door. Chen Shilong said that the Zhang family was lying, and he had been waiting outside the door. At this time, he said with a smile: "You can't go! Once you leave, Uncle Yu's 'kneeling abacus' and 'holding the oil lamp' I can't even see the tricks." So she got angry again, "Hello!" She said with staring eyes, "You also conspired with him to play tricks on me!" "Yes, yes!" Chen Shilong arched his hands and bowed to the ground, "It's my fault, don't be angry." This made Ah Qi helpless!In the current situation, there is a dilemma between soft and hard, whether you can walk or leave, and you don't want to reason, you can only turn around and sit down, leaning your head out of the window, with a tense face and not speaking. "Ah Qi!" Yu Si said, "It's my fault——" "It was you who was wrong!" Ah Qi turned around quickly to grab the white. "Yes, yes!" Yu Si also imitated Chen Shilong, blindly accommodating, "I was wrong, everything was wrong. Well, the matter is over, don't bother Boss Hu anymore, let's go!" "Go? Where are you going?" "What do you say! To my place, or to yours?" "To your place? Hmph," Ah Qi sneered, "Your Yu's residence has a 'high threshold', how can I get in?" When it comes to such sour words, it is just a matter of grinding time. Hu Xueyan gave Chen Shilong a wink, stood up and said, "Okay! There is no need for us to hate you here! You can talk a few words first, and I will send you into the room later." Bridal chamber." "What kind of bridal chamber or not?" Ah Qi also got up to stop her, "Boss Hu, don't leave, we have to speak clearly, there is no such convenient thing!" "I'm not leaving! I'm in the opposite room." Hu Xueyan said, "Talk with yourselves first. If you can't agree, I'll come as soon as you say hello. Don't worry, Sister Yu, I'll help you." This promise is another invisible rope, which binds Ah Qi even more immobile. Apart from still berating Yu Si for being "unconscionable" and "foolish", there is only one condition: Yu Si will not allow his daughter to come to the house from now on. . How can this be done?No matter how softly Yu Si negotiated, Ah Qi just refused.So Hu Xueyan had to be asked to mediate. After hearing the truth, Hu Xueyan smiled and said to Yu Si: "This is to make things difficult for you. Yu Si's sister-in-law is a reasonable person." This method is called "golden bell cover", one sentence covers Ah Qi, and people compliment her for being "reasonable", but she can't say "I'm not reasonable", and must cut off the fourth Yu father and daughter.Therefore, at this time, he kept his face stern and silent. "I just realized now that Yu Sisao is not angry with you," Hu Xueyan said to Yu Si like this, "it's angry with you, Miss. It's no wonder that Yu Sisao is angry with me if I change it! Thinking about it, I feel wronged. Logically, of course You have an explanation, but after talking about the whole family, is it really necessary to force you to deny your daughter? Even if you are willing, Mrs. Yu Sisao would not be willing to have such an unworthy reputation outside. This is the Shandong saying: "a piece of tofu It fell into the ashes, and I couldn’t play it!’ It’s really hard to tell!” 这几句话，直抉阿七心底的衷曲，自己有些感觉，苦于说不出口，现在听胡雪岩替她说了出来，那一份令人震栗的痛快，以及天底下毕竟还有个知道自己的心的知遇之感，夹杂在一起，就如一盏热醋泼在心头，竟抽抽噎噎地哭了起来。 一路哭，一路数落，但已不是吵架，完全是诉怨。郁四虽觉得有些尴尬，心里却是一块石头落地，知道大事已定。心情闲豫，应付自然从容，也不说话，只从袖中抽出一方手帕递了过去，让她好擦眼泪。 擦湿了一方手帕，收住了眼泪，阿七心里感激远多于怨恨，感激的是胡雪岩，站起来福了福：“胡老爷多谢你！费了你好半天的精神。”接着转过脸去向郁四说道：“好走了，麻烦人家胡老板好些工夫，还要赖在这里！” “走，走！”郁四一叠连声地回答，“我先问你，到哪里？” “还到哪里？自然是回家。” “对，对！回家，回家！”郁四转身看着胡雪岩，仿佛千言万语难开口，最后说了这样一句，“我们明天再谈。” 一场雷雨，化作春风，胡雪岩心里异常舒畅，微微笑着，送他们出门。走到店堂，迎面遇着黄仪，胡雪岩和他都有意外之感，不由得便站住了脚。 “黄先生！”阿七泰然无事，扬一扬招呼，“明朝会。”说着还回眸一笑，洋洋得意地走了。
