Chapter 18 Chapter 9 (1-2)

It wasn't until eight o'clock that all the guests arrived, and Li Xiaomao was the last to arrive.Liu Bucai has been famous for him for a long time. On the day of the opening of the incense hall, he had never met him. At this time, he refused to miss the opportunity. He exchanged greetings and scrutinized him carefully. Thin lips, a mouthful of white teeth when she smiles, like a beautiful Xiaodan, no wonder there are romances everywhere. There is no loneliness on the table.But Zhu Sulan's face was expressionless again, this was not intentional, because one was a customer who spent money, and the other was a benefactor, in a dilemma, she simply acted as a hostess, and there was no one outside the greeting table. additional representation.

When it was past nine o'clock, Xiao Zhang's three friends, because there was still an appointment with Tongyue's fourth child, said goodbye together, invited guests among the guests, and made an appointment with Li Xiaomao by the way, but it was Liu Bucai who returned for him. Seeing off the guests back, Zhu Sulan had already rearranged the cups and plates, set up a drink, and turned the fire on extremely high, Liu Bucai and Li Xiaomao both took off their long clothes and sat idle. Got a lot closer. "Brother Li!" Liu Bucai naturally changed to this "approximate" address: "I have something to ask, and I must help you. It is a good deed to do this favor."

"Don't dare, dare not!" Li Xiaomao looked troubled, "I really don't understand, what can I do for Boss Liu?" "Master Liu wants to buy 10,000 shi rice." Zhu Sulan spoke vigorously from the side. "Ten thousand stones?" It can be heard from his tone that even a rice dealer like Dafeng thinks ten thousand shi is a big deal.Liu Bucai calmly explained that the customer who bought the rice was Zhu Daqi, and the rice he bought was actually official rice. live.This is a matter of Yin Gong accumulating virtue. "Did you hear that?" Zhu Sulan chimed in, "I've made money again, and I've accumulated evil virtues. It's really the best thing in the world."

"Su Lan is right. Brother Li, you go talk to me first. I have told Su Lan about my situation. The money is ready." Liu Bucai put one large and one small stacks of banknotes wrapped in a handkerchief on the table, and while winking at Zhu Sulan, she tugged at Li Xiaomao's sleeves, and they walked into the suite together for a secret talk. . After hearing the reason, Li Xiaomao was of course also very excited, but there is still a way to think about one or two thousand shi meters, where does 10,000 shi come from? "Time is too tight." He shook his head, "There is really no way."

"Before you think about the solution, you get discouraged first. Really!" Zhu Sulan poked Li Xiaomao's forehead with her finger, "I don't know what you think in your heart." "Why don't I want to do it. The trouble is—" "Stop talking!" Zhu Sulan said angrily, "You don't have any good ideas at all; you just want to throw me off!" "Hey, hey! Strange! How does this matter?" "Why not? Our chance lies in this business. You said that the 'Old Monster' is very tight-handed. Don't even talk about getting thousands of silver. Push it out again. Think about it, what do you mean."

"Hey! You've gone there. Ten thousand stones in rice! Just think about it, how many warehouses are needed to store it, and how many ships are needed to load it?" "Dafeng is the first rice store. Didn't you say that a large amount of foreign rice has arrived recently, so don't you have ten thousand shi?" "Yes! It has already been sold to someone else, and it was shipped to Beijing. How can I miss the deadline?" "It's also transported to Beijing, and it's also transported to Hangzhou. Didn't Master Liu say that this ten thousand shi rice is actually official rice, so what does it matter if it is moved?"

"I can't tell you clearly." Li Xiaomao stood up and said, "I'll talk to him face to face." "Slow down!" Zhu Sulan pulled him back and asked, "Are you rejecting him?" "No! See if there is any way to accommodate each other and get it together." Zhu Sulan turned back into anger, "That's just like a sentence." But she warned: "If you don't succeed in this matter, we will have to make a clean break." Li Xiaomao shook his head helplessly.Walking outside one after the other, Liu Bucai looked at Zhu Sulan's face first, his expression was not good, and immediately shouted out of the window: "Longevity!"

Changsheng is Liu Bucai's follower, he agreed after hearing the voice, opened the curtain and entered, and waited for his orders. "You pay attention outside, just in case some friends come to see me." This is the agreed signal, which means that Xiao Zhang has arrived, please come in directly.Changsheng understood, agreed, and guarded the door.When Liu Bucai talked with Li Xiaomao, he realized that he had misread Zhu Sulan's eyes. Li Xiaomao was just powerless, and he didn't intend to make trouble, so there was no need for Xiao Zhang to threaten him. So Liu Bucai hastily called Changsheng in again and told him that any visitor should be blocked.Even talking and winking, Changsheng certainly knew that the master's mind had changed, but the appearance was too obvious, which made Li Xiaomao and Zhu Sulan very puzzled.

At this time, Xiao Zhang has arrived.He has his own plan, so he will naturally be the host of Tongyue's fourth family. If the guests arrive, they will be drunk and happy, and it will be difficult to get away. It's better to come here first and see what happens.So I asked Tongyue's fourth child to be good at hospitality, find a groom to lead the way, and ride a horse. The Mao's Lane is a very lively alley. When we arrived, it was easy to find the Zhu's house. When we saw that there was no answer at the door, when we were hesitating, we happened to meet Sister Shun who was buying some fruit and came home.Xiao Zhang felt that Xingzang had been exposed, and it would be bad if he was timid, so he could only bite the bullet and enter.

"Master Zhang is here!" Sister Shun announced loudly, and at the same time opened the curtain to silence the guests.Inside and outside the door, four eyes met, it happened that Li Xiaomao and Xiao Zhang had an unavoidable face-to-face, and Liu Bucai knew that something was wrong. Sure enough, Li Xiaomao's face suddenly changed, and he said to Zhu Sulan and Sister Shun in astonishment, "Master Zhang? What is this man doing here?" Zhu Sulan and Sister Shun were inexplicably astonished. They were speechless and didn't know how to answer, let alone why he was so angry?Xiao Zhang had been prepared in his heart and was quite calm, so only Liu Bu could answer at this time.

He was also frustrated and embarrassed, lost his usual wit, and pretended to ask: "Brother Li, why are you so angry. This is my friend, surnamed Zhang." "Is it your Boss Liu's friend?" Li Xiaomao was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he raised his head and asked again: "Is it your friend?" "Yes. He's my friend." Liu Bucai suddenly became aware that things had to be done hard and his attitude should not be weak, so he added: "He's my good friend." Xiao Zhang, who was relatively calm, didn't understand whether Liu Bucai's almost flustered expression was intentional, or was there some other reason?But one thing is very clear, I want to clear the relationship for Liu Bucai, so I said with a smile: "Xiao Mao, it's been a long time! Always good? " "Hmph!" Li Xiaomao sneered, "Stop being hypocritical!" he asked, "You still know me as a friend?" "Of course they are friends. I didn't expect to meet here." Xiao Zhang was still very calm, "We had a drink together yesterday, and Liu Sange returned today. I made an appointment here, and I came late. I didn't expect him to invite you too. If I had known, I would have come here early. So I can talk about Qi Kuo. How is it? I haven’t seen you for a long time, and you’ve been doing well recently?” "It's none of your business." Li Xiaomao suddenly turned around and asked Liu Bucai: "You guys made an appointment, didn't you?" Liu Bucai, who was stunned and flustered for a while, regained his clarity of reason, and realized that he didn't need to be nervous at all.Friends make friends with each other, and when we meet together by chance, even if there is a disagreement between the guest and the guest, it has nothing to do with me, because I don't know that Xiao Zhang and Li Xiaomao are enemies. When I think about it this way, I hate myself, how stupid is it?It seems that he is not as calm as Xiao Zhang.So he gathered himself together and replied very attentively: "Yes! Yesterday was this old brother Zhang's host, and today I borrowed here to treat guests, of course I want to ask him out. Didn't everyone just say that the time for Xiao Zhang to make an appointment has come, and we can't Don't go. If I didn't have something serious to talk to your brother, I would go too." "How did I know that the Xiao Zhang you mentioned was this Xiao Zhang?" Li Xiaomao said angrily. Contrary to his attitude, Xiao Zhang still kept his smile on his face, "How is it?" He said half-truthfully, "My little Zhang has horns on his head, which is different?" As he said that, he stretched out his fingers and pressed them on his head, making a posture of a bull's head with horns. This almost exhausted expression caused Sister Shun to cover her mouth, and Zhu Sulan turned her back to pretend to choke.And Li Xiaomao was full of anger, so it was not easy to say, "Brother Li! To be honest, I really don't understand why you are so angry?" Liu Bucai then turned his face and asked: "Xiao Zhang, you and I are so angry." Does brother Li have any 'holidays'?" "I can't talk about the holidays. Xiao Mao is my good friend. I just said one more sentence because I was quick to talk. Alas!" Xiao Zhang made a heartbroken expression, "Let's not talk, let's not talk!" Li Xiaomao couldn't get rid of his resentment, but there was nothing he could do about it, because although Xiao Zhang was not enough friends in this matter, if he wanted to comment, he couldn't put it on the "table", so he didn't want to say anything, so he just With a long face, he uttered hatred, and ignored everyone. But Liu Bucai pretended to be hesitant, and it took him a long time to pretend to understand and said: "It seems that Xiao Zhang is at fault for you! You must have done something to make your friend suffer from being dumb." The word "dumb loss" hit Li Xiaomao's heart all the way, and he felt a sense of familiarity with Liu Bucai. He immediately turned his head and said loudly: "It's not bad at all, I suffered from this guy's dumb loss! Boss Liu , if you treat this person as a friend again, you don't have to talk to me about business!" "Why is this so?" Liu Bucai heard the reason, but he couldn't care about his position as a friend, so he could only show an attitude of persuasion, "Brother Li, you are selling me face, let me play a role!" "Thank you! Thank you." "Xiao Mao, don't be cruel!" Xiao Zhang finally seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, but although he spoke fiercely, his tone was not impulsive, "I don't know what kind of business you guys are talking about. You don't treat me as a friend, but I take Mr. Liu as my friend." My friend, a bachelor keeps making money, for the sake of Mr. Liu's business, it's fine if I run into bad luck today." After finishing speaking, he took the road and left. Liu Bucai hurried to catch up, and said in the tone of a peacemaker who did not hesitate to concede, "Why bother? Everyone is looking at my face! I will kowtow to you two to make amends." "No need!" Xiao Zhang turned around suddenly, lifted the hem of the fox fur robe with his left hand, pointed at Zhu Sulan and Sister Shun with his right hand, and said, "You two are a witness, today I am for Mr. Liu, let him go, and discuss business." If it works, if it doesn't work, it means that he is not a friend at all. I want him to look good!" After speaking, he flicked his right hand and walked away.Zhu Sulan and Sister Shun looked at each other, full of surprise and suspicion. Of course Li Xiaomao's complexion was ugly, bluish and red for a while, his chest heaved violently, as if he had to try his best several times, but finally he had to restrain himself because he had no target. Of course, Liu Bucai also had to show a deep embarrassment. In fact, he was quite happy in his heart, thinking that Xiao Zhang's wrists were very powerful, so he made use of this to make use of the problem and threatened him invisibly. It seemed that Li Xiaomao would definitely try to make this deal.However, in myself, the situation forced me to say something against my will. "My friend really doesn't think so!" He said in an angry voice, "That's what it looks like." As soon as Liu Bucai was dissatisfied with Xiao Zhang, Sister Shun was not afraid that the friend who scolded the guest would offend the guest, and said, "I really met the 'Master'! Are there such 'violent' guests? What a stroke of luck!" People in Suzhou are superstitious about the Wutong God. Ever since Tang Bin, a famous Confucian official in the Kangxi Dynasty, demolished the prostitute temple during his tenure as governor of Jiangsu, this trend has been slightly destroyed.But I still believe that Wutongshen will cause trouble, and I dare not denigrate him publicly, so I respectfully call him "Master".By extension, all plague gods and evils are called "Master".She scolded Xiao Zhang like this, which was already very serious for Suzhou people, but it didn't calm down Li Xiaomao's anger. "Boss Liu," he asked with a frosty face, "the one named Zhang, who is your friend?" "A friend who often plays together." Liu Bucai replied, "I don't know that he is so domineering. Look at my thin face, don't worry about it. Come, come, come, the matter started from me, I will accompany you Sin. Sister Shun, please pour me a cup of hot wine." Hot wine is readily available.After filling two cups, Liu Bucai took a photo of "do it first as a respect".Li Xiaomao finally felt a little better, holding his glass in his hand, he felt that he had to ask something. "Boss Liu, according to Xiao Zhang, if this business can't be done, I won't be friends enough. Do you think so too?" Liu Bucai was very alert, knowing that Li Xiaomao was always in doubt, and that Xiao Zhang had colluded with him, so this question was a set question, and he had to answer it very beautifully to dispel his doubts. "Joke! 'Business cannot be done with benevolence and righteousness'. Friendship is friendship, and business is business. Regardless of success or failure, I must make you my friend.What's more, I also understand your difficulties. There is no reason to push yourself out of business. If you can make up this batch of rice, of course you will sell it to me.I really can't make it up, and I can't help it.How can I be an unreasonable person like Xiao Zhang, who will meet you?Come, come, have a drink, business aside, let's talk slowly. " These words are tactful and sincere. Compared with Xiao Zhang, he seems to be more tasteful. In order to express this breath and to fight for it, Li Xiaomao replied with a heart: "Boss Liu, I will find a way, no matter what, I have to get together." I'll give you 10,000 shi rice, and the price will be settled according to the market price of the rice industry office. However, this friend of yours came to 'show off' for no reason, what do you say?" "This—" Liu Bucai was happy and frowned, "Both sides are my friends, and I'm the only one who—" "I don't want you to make amends on his behalf!" Li Xiaomao rushed to interrupt, "If he thinks he is some great character, you ask him to come forward and come here with a gossip." Liu Bucai thought for a while, and felt that he was 70% sure, but even if he agreed, there must be an explanation: "Of course." He said, "Today I am the master, and if he offended my friend, I can ask him to say something." Come here." "Okay! Boss Liu, you have shoulder blades, so I have shoulder blades." Li Xiaomao said, "You ask him to kowtow to me." Hearing this, Liu Bucai was startled!This is called "the lion's big mouth"; Li Xiaomao should not go too far.He could speak, but he himself was too embarrassed to tell Xiao Zhang.So he frowned and hesitated; he couldn't make a sound for a long time. "Boss Liu, do you feel embarrassed? Let me tell you the truth. I don't want to make it difficult for you. I want to see if Xiao Zhang is good enough for friends?" , "This person is 'full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, full of male thieves and female prostitutes', and he specializes in 'talking big and using small money'. Listening to his tone before leaving, it seems that he is willing to take any loss for your sake. In this case, he It counts as a kowtow for me—a head of 10,000 shimi is regarded as flattering him. Boss Liu, as long as you say what I say, we are still good friends." This is a huge concession made in secret, which means that Xiao Zhang will not kowtow for him as a condition for selling rice.Realizing this, Liu Bucai refused to relax, and bowed his head: "Brother Li, I'm so grateful for you thinking of me like this. I will definitely say what I said, and I will not change a word." winked. He just glanced inadvertently, and Zhu Sulan, who has been on the road for a long time, already understood that he wanted her to help, and immediately persuaded: "'Killing is not just nodding'; let alone Mr. Liu in the middle, don't make him too embarrassed .As long as the meaning of the surname Zhang is realized, you can be a master if you are magnanimous!" Li Xiaomao shook his head and only replied: "You don't know." Zhu Sulan didn't know, but Liu Bucai knew it, but he had to pretend not to know.Anyway, I have said everything I want to say, and if we talk about it again, we will not be famous, so it is better to go to Tongyueyuan to have a banquet, so that Li Xiaomao can be tender with Zhu Sulan, and Zhu Sulan can persuade Li Xiaomao, isn't it killing two birds with one stone? I wanted to stop, so I had to leave, but although the rice business had been agreed invisibly, but it had not been settled, I was worried after all.If the payment is made, Li Xiaomao will definitely not accept it, or if he accepts it, he changes his mind midway, and he will not be able to get back the ten thousand silver.It's even more troublesome.Rethinking this, it took a lot of hesitation, and I thought about it carefully, and I had a care. "Su Lan, I have something to tell you." Liu Bucai stood up, and conveniently put away the two packs of banknotes; he specially said hello to Li Xiaomao: "I'm sorry! Excuse me for a moment." He didn't go in, but went out, and stood still in the living room, and when Zhu Sulan came to him, he stuffed a small bag of banknotes into her hand, and squeezed her hands together, as if he was afraid of her Will be polite. "Please pass on this thousand taels of silver. Tell your old friend whether the business will be successful or not is another matter. He will use the money first." Zhu Sulan paused for a while, and replied in a confident voice: "Master Liu, please don't worry! He promised himself, and I will definitely urge him to complete it as soon as possible." "Then please do so. I will hand over the banknote to him after I leave. I'm leaving. Your account here will be settled in another day." Liu Bucai then raised his voice and said, "Brother Li, I'll take a step first. .Tomorrow will be held!" Hearing the sound, Li Xiaomao hurried out to see off the guests, but Liu Bucai thanked her repeatedly, Zhu Sulan should be sent downstairs, but he would definitely refuse, that would seem a bit pretentious. The guest and the host declined, confused and confused, and finally it was Liu Bucai who said: "I must give it away, so let Sister Shun give it away." Zhu Sulan suddenly realized, she gave Li Xiaomao a knowing smile, and said repeatedly: "That's right, that's right! Sister Shun will send it off for me. The front door is probably locked, please feel sorry for Mr. Liu and go through the back door!" "Okay, okay! The front and rear doors are the same." So Sister Shun lit a kerosene "hand photo", held it with one pointed finger, turned half sideways, raised the lamp and walked in front.While going down the stairs, he kept calling: "Master Liu, please go! Master Liu, please go!" Walking downstairs one after another, Sister Shun was a little hesitant, because the front door was only ajar, and the helper was sleeping in the wing room, so it was very convenient to ask him to get up and open the door, so there was no need to go through the back door. However, Liu Bucai had already walked backwards.As soon as he walked out, he came to the "stove draped room". The floor was very slippery, and sister Shun was afraid that he would stumble and fall, so she had to follow closely, saying, "Go slowly!" Hearing this sound, Liu Bucai stopped, turned around, stared at Sister Shun with burning eyes, and had no scruples: seeing that she only focused on combing an extremely exquisite ingot bun, and she didn't apply makeup, she looked natural Charming, especially the few freckles on the cheeks that look like tea leaves, add a third of charm.It seems that it is even more gratifying than Sister Aqiao. Sister Shun has almost become a nine-tailed demon fox. Seeing Liu Bucai's almost drooling appearance, her heart is clear, and she smiled and asked, "Master Liu, do you have something to say?" "That's right!" Liu Bucai laughed softly, "Sister Shun, let's make a date. How about it?" "Ah! Master Liu, you are joking!" "Well-behaved." Liu Bucai replied, "My wife has been dead for more than ten years; until now I am still a widow." Sister Shun's heart moved, but she pretended to be puzzled: "Did Master Liu ask me to be a matchmaker?" "I don't trust you, I trust Sulan to be a matchmaker." "Oh," Sister Shun still pretended to be confused, "but which one do you like?" "Yes, I have my eyes on someone." Liu Bucai blew out the photo with a "poof", and then hugged Sister Shun tightly, not letting go of her face. "Let go, let go!" Sister Shun struggled, "Master Liu, what are you doing?" "Whatever you say, it's nothing. After all, I have taken a fancy to you." "Okay, okay. The first time I came here, it was so vicious, so it's not a joke?" This sentence was very effective, Liu Bucai let go of his hand, panted and laughed: "To be honest, it's the first time I've been 'extremely vicious' like this. Don't gossip, tomorrow I will ask Sulan to be a matchmaker." "Tomorrow is tomorrow. Go ahead!" Sister Shun said in a complaining voice, "Heiqilongdong, you fell down, don't blame anyone! Come, walk this way." Heitou held hands and touched the door step by step. Sister Shun pulled the latch and opened it. When the light from outside came in, Liu Bucai did not leave. "Sister Shun, I speak in a proper manner. I will come to see you tomorrow afternoon." "Come on, just come. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it ourselves, so don't say anything." This means that there is no need for Zhu Sulan to be a matchmaker. For matters that are good for a couple, you can face to face, face to face, kneel side by side, and discuss in the long run. Realizing this, Liu Bucai changed his mind again, "Well," he said, "I wonder if you are free tomorrow morning? If you have time, let's make an appointment to talk. How about it? " Sister Shun thought about it for a while, then shook her head and said, "Tomorrow morning is inconvenient. You should come in the afternoon and take care of your business. After finishing the business, I have enough time, so why worry?" This is already a heart-to-heart agreement.Liu Bucai took some reassurance, so he nodded and said, "Okay! I'll follow you." Then, he squeezed her hand again before going out. When they arrived at Tongyue Courtyard, the banquet was already over, but it was not yet time to "put out the candles and leave the body behind". As soon as Liu Bucai arrived, it was just in time for supper. "How?" Xiao Zhang looked at his face and made a mischievous smile: "Did you cut Li Xiaomao's side?" Liu Bucai was stunned, "Why do you want to come?" He said, "It's really 'crazy mouth and blowing the trumpet, a bunch of evil spirits!'" "You say I'm evil? Take a look in the mirror yourself, with a spring look on your face!" Xiao Zhang pointed at Tongyue's fourth child who was pouring wine, "Ask her!" "Really." Tong Yue's fourth child said with a smile, "Master Liu has a happy event." Liu Bucai "a dumb man eats wontons, he knows what he has in his stomach", he just smiled silently.But Xiao Zhang refused to relax, staring closely and asked: "Did you hear that? What a happy event, it's true! Zhu Sulan has an older sister, could it be that you and Li Xiaomao are linked? " "No, no! Don't make wild guesses. Let's talk about Li Xiaomao!" Liu Bucai restrained his smile, his face full of guilt: "The matter is expected to succeed. But there is something I really can't say." "What's the matter? Brother Liu, what else can we say about our friendship?" Liu Bucai didn't answer, he really couldn't speak, and his heart was very confused, thinking how to prevaricate Li Xiaomao for a while, and thinking about who to ask to tell Xiao Zhang about Li Xiaomao's request.There are many ideas, but none of them are right. Xiao Zhang is very smart, and has gained a lot of knowledge through experience in the world in the past few years; seeing this scene, he has a general understanding, and immediately asked: "But Li Xiaomao scolded me?" "that's for sure." "What else?" Xiao Zhang asked again, "I see, he insisted that you break up with me, so you can't say it?" "If it was this sentence, I would have rejected him at that time. Things must be done, and friendship must also be taken care of." Xiao Zhang carefully studied his words and demeanor before and after, and he understood more and more, "Li Xiaomao must have a problem for me to solve." Xiao Zhang pressed his hand and said, "It doesn't matter! Brother Liu, you Say it, I don't mind." "Then, I'll just say it." Liu Bucai said with difficulty, "He, he said he wants you to accompany him for the crime. Yes, he wants to kowtow." As expected, Xiao Zhang would definitely be angry when he heard this, but who knows otherwise, after a moment of shock, his face immediately returned to calm, and then his eyes blinked wildly, as if he had ulterior motives. "Yes! I will kowtow for him." As soon as this remark came out, the real words shocked the audience, not only Liu Bucai was stunned, but even Tongyue's fourth child was also surprised, because Xiao Zhang's face was fierce, and his words were sharp, showing his sharpness. A character like this, no matter what It doesn't look like he is willing to kowtow to others, especially to those he despises. "Xiao Zhang," Liu Bucai didn't believe he was telling the truth, "Don't be joking!" "'There is gold under the man's knees.'" Tongyue's fourth child also said, "Don't just agree at this time, if you can't bend your knees, you are playing tricks on Mr. Liu." "It's no wonder you don't believe me. I have another reason. I won't talk about it for now. In short, I will kowtow to him. But," Xiao Zhang said solemnly, "Liu Sange, if you want to make it clear to him, I can only kowtow to him in private." "It looks like this, are you really willing to kowtow to Li Xiaomao?" Liu Bucai was confused, "I still don't quite believe your words. Xiao Zhang, you have to tell me a reason." "Let's talk later." "It must be hindering me." Forty Tongyue was very alert and knowledgeable, "I'll take a look in the kitchen so that you can whisper." Sure enough, it was because Tongyue's fourth child was in the way. As soon as she left, Xiao Zhang said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, I can't find such a chance to kowtow to him. It's not for him, but for myself." "The more you talk, the more mysterious it gets!" Liu Bucai smiled wryly, "Originally, we could join forces in everything. We have similar thoughts, and we can understand a little bit. There is no need to say more. Only this matter is beyond my comprehension." "It's not that you are unpredictable, it's that I haven't ordered it yet. Let me say a word, and you will understand. It's for 'opening the incense hall' for coming and going. I always fail him." This statement is really clear, and Liu Bucai fully understands it.Li Xiaomao committed a serious crime of incest in their "family". According to "family law", he should be executed. After all, it is the "housework" of their gang and has nothing to do with outsiders.From Xiao Zhang's point of view, although it is out of justice, trapping Li Xiaomao is, after all, betraying a friend.In order to make up for the guilt, he was willing to kowtow to Li Xiaomao. "To tell you the truth, I've always had a bad conscience when I think about it. It's all right now," Xiao Zhang said happily, "I kowtowed to him, and the matter is over, and the scum in my heart can also be cancelled." "The ruffian in your heart is gone, and the ruffian in my heart is gone." Liu Bucai, who was very happy, said, "It seems that I am going to be lucky! Such a thing that can't be done after much deliberation, will be misunderstood. Hit, it becomes a good thing! Do you think I'm going to be handed over?" "Yes!" Xiao Zhang joked, "There is a step of luck in front of me, good luck!" "Which one will be lucky?" It was Tongyue's fourth brother who spoke outside the door. The curtain was lifted, and she asked with a smile: "But Mr. Liu, who will be lucky? Let us see what kind of character you hand in!" As soon as Liu Bucai was happy, he let go of his mouth, and immediately talked about everything about Sister Shun, even the process of holding her fragrant face in his black head, and he didn't hide it.It made Xiao Zhang and Tong Yue's fourth child laugh out loud. "Don't gossip." Tong Yue's fourth child asked, "Do you want me to be a ready-made matchmaker?" "Yes, yes! I will thank the matchmaker well in the future. Fourth child," Liu Bucai asked, "Where did you borrow your 'little house'?" "Little House" is a place to raise benefactors.Tongyue's fourth child and Xiao Zhang were having a heated fight, and upon hearing Liu Bucai's question, she was a little anxious for fear of arousing Xiao Zhang's suspicion, "Where did you get the 'Little House'?" She said angrily, "Master Liu It's really 'talking nonsense in the day, talking nonsense at night!' It's not good to wrong people." "Don't worry, it's nothing wrong with you." Liu Bucai pointed at Xiao Zhang and smiled, "Shouldn't you and you borrow a small house?" Tongyue's fourth child refused to admit that she had misunderstood, but when Liu Bucai mentioned Xiao Zhang, it aroused her resentment, and pointed at her, "Ask him!" "What?" Liu Bucai turned around and asked, "It seems that there are still articles?" "It's not really a big deal; I just don't like people being choked—" "Which one is choking your throat?" Tongyue's fourth child resisted and argued, and then asked Liu Bucai to comment, "Master Liu, I told him to borrow a small house, so that he can save staying in a hotel and meet friends when he comes. It's convenient to talk about business, and it doesn't cost much money every month. Isn't it a good thing? As for my family, once he borrows a small house, he will come here less. Besides, I want to spend time with him, 'for business' Of course, it’s inevitable that I can’t take care of it. This is my family’s loss, so asking him to celebrate my birthday is nothing more than setting up a ‘Shuangshuangtai’. He turned over as soon as he heard it, and said he would grab him by the throat and chop him with an axe! Mr. Liu Think about it, I'm not the only one who 'leads' in Tongyueyuan; everyone is like me, what hope does my family have? For the sake of other little sisters, this family has to do this, so he will be an 'opening axe' Yes! Mr. Liu, you said, but the luck?" Hearing his rebuke, Xiao Zhang felt that he was wrong, and at the same time felt that he couldn't get it right, so he said indiscriminately: "Okay, okay! Let's not talk about this, third brother, what should we say when we meet Li Xiaomao tomorrow? " "No!" Liu Bucai said, "Let's talk about one thing. I have an idea. Let's borrow our little house together, okay?" "Why?" Xiao Zhang was a little surprised, "Third brother, you really fell in love at first sight. You are not like this usually?" "What do you want?" Tong Yue's fourth brother gave him a blank look, "Master Liu's idea is pretty good. I've taken a fancy to a house, everything is good, but I think it's too big, Master Liu lent half of it to Sister Shun, it's nothing good.As for the 'birthday', I do it for myself, and I will pay for all the banquets and 'footfall'.However, I want to make an appearance in the name of Young Master Zhang.It's always okay, right? " Xiao Zhang smiled, "Do you think I'm a friend of 'Eating Slipper Rice'?" He said, "I'm not Li Xiaomao!" "Look," Tongyue's fourth child was rather disapproving, "It's a good way to hurt people. This word has spread to people's ears, and I hate you to death. You kowtow to him a hundred times for nothing." Hearing these few words, Liu Bucai nodded deeply, "Xiao Zhang!" He persuaded, "Your fourth is really knowledgeable, and you must listen to what he said. To be honest, you are outstanding in everything. It’s just that the words are superior, the words are like a knife, and if you refuse to let people, you will suffer in the future.” "Look, after all, Mr. Liu is a veteran of the world. He knows more about people than you do." "You don't want to be a partner and flaunt each other. I will make your birthday tomorrow." Xiao Zhang said, "'Shuangshuangtai' always requires 20 to 30 guests to eat, it's not decent if it's missing. It's hard to invite these twenty or thirty guests. " "Guests don't have to worry. Eating flowers and wine is not a grand banquet, so you don't have to worry about not being able to invite them." Liu Bucai said, "The place must be arranged first." This is jargon.Xiao Zhang's qualifications in the flowers are still low, so he can't take this into account: although there are only twenty or thirty guests, there must be a place for fifty or sixty people to accommodate them.Because everyone has to call the game, and the girls have to bring Wushi, Niangyi or Xiaodajie, so if you call one, you have to come to three, even if you go here and there, you don’t have to gather all at once, at least you have to have one big, two small, three rooms, Only barely enough. Therefore, the fourth child of Tongyue said to Xiao Zhang: "You don't want to know that the wind is the rain. Master Liu is more thoughtful than you think.It is not a careless thing to set up a double table. I will discuss it with my family first. The first thing is to see if the big room is free that day, and the second is to borrow a room from the little sister. It will definitely be too late tomorrow.As long as you have this kind of heart, the family will know, don't be in a hurry.Now that Mr. Liu's good deeds are included, going to see the house tomorrow and buying furniture is the most serious thing. " "It's up to you. You can do whatever you want, you are the master of everything." Xiao Zhang reached into his arms, took a bank note and put it in front of her, "Two hundred taels of silver, you can use it first. Mr. Liu is one of his own people, he is impatient to do these trivial chores, so please take your time too. " "Yes! Fourth brother, please. Use more and use less, don't worry, after all, we will do as you like." The fourth child of Tongyue pursed her lips and smiled: "We, us? It sounds so affectionate!" It was Xiao Zhang's idea that Liu Bucai "borrowed the dry shop" in Tongyueyuan that night.The next morning, they got up early, washed up hastily, and went out together, taking two sedan chairs to Zhu Sulan's house. When I got off the sedan chair, I saw that the gate was quiet.The male worker who lives in the wing room is very elegant, watering the flowers and feeding the birds, with a leisurely attitude. When he saw two guests coming early in the morning, he was a little at a loss and went into the living room. He didn't care to greet him, and shouted at the stairs: " Miss Shun, Miss Shun! Master Liu is here. " Sister Shun got up and was tidying up the room; she was also surprised to hear that Liu Bucai had come early in the morning.After thinking about it all night, after deciding to commit, and expecting to have a lot of personal things to say, it would be inconvenient downstairs, so I replied: "Master Liu, please go upstairs!" Before Liu Bucai could speak, Xiao Zhang took the lead and stepped up the stairs with a "boom, yo", and Liu Bucai followed closely behind.Going upstairs, Sister Shun opened the curtain to meet her, saw that it was Xiao Zhang, and hurriedly shrank back, because she was only wearing a small padded jacket with double breasts, narrow waist and protruding chest, so she could not receive unfamiliar guests.
