MTL - Great Tang Broom Star-Chapter 8 stingy person

  Chapter 8 Iron Cock

  The sun began to slant to the west, and Wubao looked extraordinarily vibrant under the sun.

  Now there is not much work in the field, and there is not much work at home, so the girls have time to play.

  Under the sun, their slightly dark faces were shining, and their smiles were innocent.

   "Girls are so nice." Lao Jia just broke up with his girlfriend for more than a year when he crossed over, and his single life is very nourishing.

  At this moment, he watched a few girls muttering under the tree, glanced at himself from time to time, subconsciously smiled, and waved.

  If he did this in his previous life, the women would give him a blank look, then hold their heads up in disdain, and walk away on high heels. If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you will even scold them as scumbags!

  But those girls looked at him excitedly, and someone asked, "Will he kill us?"

   "No, it is said that we are not afraid after three steps, but now we are seven or eight steps away!"

  A young girl was probably curious and approached step by step.

  Jia Ping'an was happy, wondering if the first ambiguity in Datang was about to happen?

"Safety…"

  Among the billowing smoke and dust, Yang Deli rushed over with the bookcase on his shoulders.

  The girl exclaimed and quickly retreated.

say!

  Jia Pingan got up resentfully, seeing that Yang Deli was sweating, but not happy, he asked, "Did something good happen to my cousin?"

  Yang Deli approached, first glanced at the girls, and waited for them to pooh and leave, then regretfully said: "Ping An, their butts are not big, and they can't have children. Such a little lady is not suitable for you!"

  Big buttocks... Jia Pingan thought about it hard. It seems that among oriental women, there are not many unmarried buttocks.

"The shopkeeper of the quality warehouse wanted to cheat someone for half a penny, and he didn't even think about it. A certain Yang Deli is a person who can eat a handful of rice for two days. Just because of him, he also wants to make someone suffer? Later, he got a hammer and a chisel... No, I brought half a penny back."

  Yang Deli was very proud of taking out the half penny.

   Jia Pingan was speechless, thinking that this cousin was the rebirth of Grandet and Huang Shiren. If he were to become a landlord, those tenant farmers might not be able to survive.

  The key is that a handful of rice can be eaten for two days, which is quite scary. The porridge that was boiled out was probably about the same as water.

   "I also bought a chicken." A big rooster was hanging behind the bookcase, clucking.

The smoke rose and the big rooster was stewed. Yang Deli was in charge of lighting the fire by the stove, and while arranging the firewood in the hearth, he said: "This chicken has two legs today, and the rest is stored in an earthen pot. In a well, it won’t go bad. Meat can be eaten for three days, soup and rice can be eaten for two days, so a chicken can last for five days…”

   As a result, after the meal, the two brothers ate up a big cock, and Yang Deli felt guilty about it.

   "Cousin, we are not short of this money now. We buy what we need and eat what we need." Although Jia Pingan was not a rich man in later generations, his food and drink were not bad.

Yang Deli looked at him and said seriously: "Ping An, our family has been farming for generations. Although tofu can make money, if it can be figured out by others in the future, how much money can we still earn? If we don't save now, we will earn money in the future." If you want to get married, you have to have three children. When the children grow up, you need to get married, build a house, eat and drink, and spend a lot of money.

  Although a certain person has never read a book, he knows a truth, that is, the poor cannot be complacent when they have money. It depends on it! If you can make money in three to five years, then you can spend a little money. Others have to be saved. "

  Yang Deli glanced at the chicken bones that had been gnawed clean, his eyes were full of regret.

   Jia Pingan felt that it was not a good idea, so he asked: "Don't you want to use the chicken bones you have eaten to make soup?"

  He didn’t think so, no matter what, the old Jia’s family is not short of this money now, not to mention chicken, mutton is not a problem every now and then. If the production scale of tofu is expanded, it will be a proper home for small landlords.

  Yang Deli said with a look of relief: "Ping An, do you think so too? That's just right..."

  Jia Ping'an looked confused...

   The chicken skeleton was not left in the end, and Yang Deli was distressed for a long time, and he could hear him moaning and sighing across the way when he slept at night.

When Jia Ping'an was sleeping in a daze, he heard Yang Deli say: "Ping'an, when I went to the market, I heard something. Our company in Huazhou was short of money, and it was said that the money catching people borrowed money and didn't come back. Lost a lot of money. Said what... sank two ships."

  Datang has many wonderful systems. For example, there are several sources of officials' salaries, one of which is lending. The state office in Huazhou had a sum of money allocated from above. The state office went to find wealthy people in Huazhou who were "well-connected" and asked them to use the money to lend money and send the interest to the state office on a regular basis. Interest is part of the official salary.

   This money is called public money, and these wealthy people who have the means are called money grabbers.

its not right!

   Jia Ping'an thought about it and felt something was wrong.

  There is no wind or waves in this season. If the ship sinks, one ship will sink. If two ships sink together, how can it be like that... like the routine of defrauding loans in the previous life?

   Thinking about the news that Governor Liang Bo was seriously ill in the past few days, Jia Pingan found it very interesting.

   But it had nothing to do with him, so he hummed and fell into a deep sleep.

  The next morning, Yang Deli drove Jia Pingan out, "You used to like to read under the tree, but from now on, you can just study."

  This cousin is really capable!

  Jia Pingan picked up a book, walked slowly under the tree, and read it carefully.

  He is a history buff. He has studied the history of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and is also interested in the imperial examination, a sharp weapon that shakes the foundation of a powerful family.

  At present, the most important thing in the Tang Dynasty's imperial examination is the verses, followed by the test strategy. For Jia Ping'an, there is room for cheating.

   But now he has no idea of ​​taking the imperial examination at all, he just wants to live like this in Yangjiawu.

   When the time comes, marry a virtuous daughter-in-law, have a few children, teach them knowledge, and watch them grow up...

   Suck!

  Jia Ping'an thought of the place of joy, couldn't help sucking his saliva, then looked up, and saw a majestic face in front of him.

  This person has a dark beard and fair complexion. He looks about forty years old, and his demeanor is not angry but majestic.

  Jia Pingan got up and cupped his hands, "I've seen the old man." When he cupped his hands, he realized that the man was wearing an official uniform, and his heart skipped a beat.

  The man glanced at him, took a step back, clenched his right hand tightly, and could vaguely see the Buddha statue, and asked, "Is there nothing wrong three steps away?"

  He took two big men with him, accompanied by the village official Yang Zhongshun. The group was at least six steps away from Jia Ping'an.

  Yang Zhongshun said respectfully: "Master, this is what an eminent monk said. That eminent monk is well-known in Huazhou and is the most effective. He said that as long as it is not an old grudge, it is actually okay to be close."

  Emissary?

   Jia Pingan was shocked, and immediately knew that disaster was coming.

  In the Tang Dynasty, Shijun was basically the name of the governor, and Liang Bo, the governor of Huazhou, was said to be seriously ill a few days ago. Could this be the new governor?

  The new governor just came to Huazhou, and immediately came to Yangjiawu. What is he trying to do?

   Jia Pingan looked at the two big men behind the new governor, his feet were a little weak, and he wanted to run away.

   Fort Kew has walls! how to run? When the time comes to shout, he will be unable to fly.

"A long-standing grudge?" The man stood with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently: "If you talk about a long-standing grudge, the old man has already found out his whereabouts. In the past fourteen years, he has spent most of his days in Yangjiawu and studied in the village school. After studying for several years, Mr. Ke died and went home. Who has a grudge against him?"

  The man stared at Jia Pingan as he spoke, his dark eyes were full of vigilance that could not be concealed.

  Jia Pingan cupped his hands, "I have met the envoy."

  He is not worried that he will be killed. After all, the nobles in Chang'an are worried about who will be killed after the broom star dies, so the biggest possibility is to be placed under house arrest, and then a hundred or eighty eminent monks and Taoists will be invited to suppress him.

  Thinking about living in a temple in the future, with countless people outside chanting scriptures every day, Jia Pingan somehow thought of Xu Xian.

  But where is my white snake?

  The man narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know your crimes?"

   This is a pass, and then it must be a trick.

   Jia Ping'an panicked, but still maintained a calm posture, "Students don't know."

  He is a scholar, he can call himself a student.

  The man sneered and said: "The old man sees that you have an evil look on your face, so it can be seen that you are a born broom star. In this way, you can go to the eminent monk to practice. If you can avoid harming others, you may have a good death."

  The so-called going to the eminent monks to practice practice is actually house arrest and suppression with Buddhist law.

   This was a possibility that Jia Pingan had been thinking about before. At this moment, he panicked a lot, but gradually calmed down. After thinking about it, he said: "So let the students clean up their housework before going."

  Yang Zhongshun sighed: "Master, this person is honest in the village."

  The man nodded, and said with a cold face: "The old man happened to ask someone to go to the eminent monk to make arrangements. That's it, the old man will come back tomorrow."

  After they left, Yang Deli who heard the news came and knelt down and howled, "Auntie, I didn't keep an eye on safety, Auntie, I deserve to die for this crime!"

   He burst into tears and beat the ground with his hands.

  The villagers shook their heads and sighed in the distance, but there were also some people who looked happy, probably because they felt that the broom star was leaving, and they didn't have to worry about it.

  Jia Ping'an thought it would be good to go to the temple. Isn't that sister Wu also in that... Ganye Temple? Maybe she will come out at any time.

   "That treacherous minister, that traitorous minister, someone is going to kill him!" Yang Deli remembered what his aunt said before she died, to take good care of her cousin. Now my cousin is going to be placed under house arrest in the temple, what is this? So he hated the new governor so much that he even said such taboo words.

   "Traitor?" Jia Pingan was taken aback.

   There are not many treacherous ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and this is Huazhou, one of the gates of Chang'an. Who dares to use treacherous ministers to guard it?

  Yang Deli raised his head and said with blurred eyes, "It's a treacherous official. Then Xu Jingzong knelt down and begged for mercy, shame on him. He laughed at the funeral..."

  Xu Jingzong?

I go!

  Jia Pingan couldn't help but burst into joy.

   Did Lao Xu come?

  At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were many famous officials. When Li Shimin opened his own mansion, he once called some literati, who were known as eighteen bachelors, and Lao Xu was one of them.

   It's just that Xu Jingzong is too weird, he often does things that make the boss want to cry, and he is also stupid, stupid and cute. His only strengths are probably the attributes of a loyal dog, plus his ability to handle affairs. Do whatever the boss tells you to do, and it doesn't matter if you offend anyone for it.

  Most of the courtiers these days have their own ideas. It is impossible for a loyal dog to be a loyal dog. That's why people like Xu Jingzong are so weird.

  He came, and Jia Pingan felt that his opportunity had also come. If it worked well, the crisis of the broom star might be over.

  …

  Old Xu stroked his beard and smiled, "Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win, and there are countless people in the world. Readers, I am so polite."
