Chapter 18 Some people come and some go(1/2)
Although the town is small, it is well-equipped. It is basically the same as other small towns outside, but the difference is only in size. If a small town has a private school, it naturally also has a bookstore. The bookstore in the small town is opened by the Su Sheng family.
The name of Su Sheng's store is plain and simple, just "Su Store", and that's exactly what happened. Several tall bookshelves stand on the four sides, and four small bookshelves of several layers are placed in the middle to form a small circle. The bookshelf facing the door
There was a simple counter in front of it. Su Sheng stood behind the counter and scrupulously wrote in small regular script.
But he still knew when a customer came to the store.
After writing the last word of this sentence, Su Sheng raised his head. He saw two figures, one big and one small, looking around. Su Sheng was a little strange. After all, foreigners from afar came to the bookstore to buy books. Anyone would be a little bit confused.
strangeness.
But when he came to the door, he was a customer. Su Sheng smiled and said: "I wonder what books you two are looking for? The store is not big, but there are still some common books."
The two of them obviously respected the elder, so Zhao Kentian said casually: "Let's see for ourselves first, Xiao Lang doesn't need to pay attention to us."
This person must be in a high position. This was Su Sheng's first impression. Putting aside his luxurious clothes, his aura was not something ordinary people could have. Su Sheng had only experienced that aura from Li Chang, but compared with him
When you get up, there is a difference between a firefly and a bright moon.
As for Zhao Wei, he had no intention of paying attention to him. Su Sheng did not ask for trouble. He just sat behind the counter and read a book about a saint. It was unclear how much his thoughts were on the book. The two of them did not know.
After choosing for a while, I randomly picked up a few books from the bookshelf and came to check out.
Why did Su Sheng know that it was random? The two of them picked for so long and took three books, one "Tao Te Ching" and two "Guangping Chronicles".
The two of them settled the bill, totaling fifty taels and sixty dollars.
Before leaving, Zhao Wei pointed to the paperweight used by Su Sheng and said, "I am quite fond of this thing. I wonder if my brother can part with it."
The drunkard's intention is not to drink,
Su Sheng also thought that they had something up his sleeve, but he didn't expect it to be this paperweight. Su Sheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my brother. This paperweight is my father's pet, and I won't let him touch it on weekdays."
of."
The two of them don't argue. What's theirs will eventually happen, and if it's not, they can't force it.
Zhao Wei smiled and cupped his hands, "Excuse me."
After the two left, Su Sheng picked up the paperweight and looked at it carefully. He didn't find anything at all, but he just thought it was dark and seemed to have a crack on it.
"Stop looking at it. I've been watching it on my bedside for decades and haven't seen any signs. This group of people also came here when your grandfather was your age. It is said that the tricks are similar. After that time, you
Grandfather knew it was a good thing. Alas, it's a pity that your grandfather didn't have this blessing, and neither did I. I put it here specially this time, and sure enough, they came again." A thin middle-aged man wearing a black shirt
The young man was holding a tea cup, leaning against the back door frame, and gently blowing the hot tea.
Su Sheng turned around and asked, "Dad, who are they?"
Su Xingjin took a sip of tea, felt very comfortable, and said: "Outlanders, basically a group of people come here every few decades, and I don't know what they do. But they won't stay for long, these people
I also heard this from your grandfather."
Su Sheng responded, then turned around and continued to study the paperweight. Since he knew it was a treasure, he couldn't waste it.
Seeing his son's excitement, Su Jinnian laughed and went back to the back hall. He was even more excited when he heard his father's words and didn't fall asleep all night.
The two people outside were not so relaxed and relaxed, and Zhao Yan's brows furrowed deeply.
Zhao Kentian knew what he was thinking and said seriously: "Things cannot be taken out without mutual consent. This is the rule. Otherwise, it would not be the turn of a small businessman to keep it for us for so long."
Zhao Ming's brows were still twitching. He rubbed his brows and said helplessly: "Is there nothing we can do about this?"
"There was really nothing we could do before, but this time it's not necessarily the case." Zhao Kentian said with a smile.
Hearing Zhao Kentian's hearty laughter, Zhao Xuanxuan's heart was relieved. He smiled and said: "Since the emperor has something in his heart, my nephew can feel relieved."
…
On the road into the town, there was a young man in a gray robe, carrying a narrow knife on his back, holding his head in his hands and leaning back, looking at the blue sky as he walked slowly, as if he was traveling in the mountains.
There was a shabby man drinking heavily in a wine shop in a small town, and a little shabby man next to him was imitating the same example, which made Aunt Li frown.
Liang Mizheng walked into the restaurant shoulder to shoulder with the kid who called himself "Gu Guan", attracting the attention of young women all the way.
…
The town was only as big as a palm, and Xu Changsheng didn't dare to run far by himself. He picked some herbs from the nearby mountains. When it got late, he hurried back and sold the herbs at the small town drug store.
Fortunately, shopkeeper Sun of the drug store is also honest and did not deduct any money from Xu Changsheng because of his young age. However, it is more likely because Sun Yuexuan said hello and gave him the price, but he only sold thirty-one copper coins.
, but Xu Changsheng is also very happy. At least today he has not wasted anything. He has made some money, and he feels very at ease. He believes that as long as he continues to earn slowly like this and accumulate little, his life will definitely get better in the future. After all, he
still young.
When Xu Changsheng returned to the entrance of Weichen Alley, he found that the two of them were looking at the alley carefully. They met each other, so they must be from out of town.
One of them looks slightly younger than Xu Changsheng, but he is wearing gorgeous clothes, like those worn by the young masters of the Sun family in a small town. He should be a young master from a wealthy family from outside. The other one seems to be his entourage and bodyguard.
, following behind and looking around, he must have discovered Xu Changsheng long ago.
Xu Changsheng had no intention of talking to them, and was about to go around, but was stopped by his peer who looked like a rich man.
The young man bowed his hand to Xu Changsheng and said with a smile: "My dear Gaocai, is this Weichen Alley?"
Xu Changsheng blushed, imitating the young master's approach and cupped his hands, saying: "Exactly."
"Then Gao Jianzhi lives here?"
Hearing that he was asking about Gao Jianzhi, Xu Changsheng was a little unhappy. His family didn't like him, so why didn't he? He just kept his etiquette and still replied: "That's the second room from the left at the end of the alley."
After saying that, without waiting for Gao Cai's response, he walked straight into the alley.
I heard that Gao Jianzhi's cheap father left the town the year he was born and went out to make a living. However, it didn't take long for him to become prosperous. He could occasionally send some money home, which made the mother and son in the town happy.
I'm worried about food and clothing. But I seem to have started a family and started a business outside, otherwise I wouldn't have not come back for more than ten years.
Even Gao's mother would scold his father from time to time as a white-eyed wolf. He didn't know who was fascinated by some vixen outside. If he dared to come back, he would have to break his dog's legs. She was often scolded by several households nearby.
It was clear. But every time Gao's father came back from sending money, he would always smile and tell everyone he met how nice that man was and how caring he was for his family.
I wonder if this is the baby Gao's father had with someone else outside? Now that I have found my family, I guess there will be something good to watch.
When the master and the servant saw this, they looked at each other and understood that it was inevitable that the neighbors would not deal with them.
However, when they were approaching Gao Jian's house, Xu Changsheng happened to enter the courtyard of the neighboring house and felt helpless.
Gao Cai glanced at the man next to him, who nodded to him. Gao Cai took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his hand, pulled the door knocker, and lightly buttoned it.
It was Gao Mu who opened the door. She looked carefully and found that she had not seen it before. She was about to close the door but was stopped by Gao Cai.
"But auntie?"
Only separated by a courtyard wall, Xu Changsheng could clearly hear Gao Mu's shrill scream.
"You vixen-born villain, get out of here!!! You still have the nerve to see me."
Then Xu Changsheng heard a loud slam on the door.
The tall guy outside the house also had an ugly face. If his father hadn't asked him to come to greet his wretched wife and nominal eldest brother, and said that if he had to take her back, he wouldn't have to go back if he didn't. He was
I won't come here even if I'm beaten to death. If I have this time, I might as well spend some time outside.
I don’t know what happened to my father. I heard that when he first came to the Guo family, he was kind and kind, and he didn’t even dare to yell at the lowest servants. But within a few years, he became the de facto de facto member of the Guo family.
The owner of the house once saw his father reprimanding his mother loudly in front of his great-grandfather, but his great-grandfather didn't say anything. Many times, my father would go to external banquets in the name of the Gao family, but the strange thing was that no one in the family objected.
The Guo family has almost become the Gao family, and not even one person has jumped out.
However, Gao Cai doesn't bother to care about it, since they are his parents anyway. It doesn't matter who is strong or weak to him, since his monthly pocket money is indispensable anyway.
But now he has been kicked out and scolded as soon as they met. How can Gao Cai endure this? How can he say that he is also "one of the four great princes in the royal city"? Just when he was about to turn around and leave, Guo Yingshun on the side
He bent down and said, "Master, don't let a small thing cost you something."
Gao Cai took a deep breath and raised his hand to continue knocking on the door.
The door opened from the inside, and Gao Jian stood behind the door with a happy face, "But little brother, we are all members of our family, come in quickly."
After speaking, he took the initiative to open the door fully and motioned for the two of them to come in quickly.
Gao Cai and Guo Yingshun looked at each other, then opened the door and followed in.
…
"Let me tell you, Xu Changsheng is my eldest brother, but he is not at home now. I will take you to see him tomorrow. After all, you can be regarded as my eldest brother's disciple." Liang Mi said unsteadily.
This Guguan is actually a real person. He said he would take him to eat roast chicken and he actually went. I have to say that the roast chicken in Zuiyunlou is really good. Now my mouth still smells delicious. And my stomach is not full.
I guess I won't need to eat at night.
"Then who are you in the Tang and Song Dynasties?" Gu Guan walked even more unsteadily, and his fair little face turned red.
Liang Mi stopped and thought for a moment, "He is just an old drunkard, and he is also an old drunkard who likes to brag."
Gu Guan burped, "Are you talking about the big man at the gate of the City God's Temple in front?" He kept staring at Tang and Song as he spoke. During this period, the glory was flowing, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed to have returned to normal, without any clues.
Liang Mi trembled all over. He no longer swayed when he walked, and his voice became much higher. "Tang Song, he is my uncle. In my heart, he is the most powerful swordsman. His swordsmanship is very good."
Tang Song lay on the stone steps at the entrance of the City God's Temple, holding the broken gourd that never left his hand, took a sip of wine and shouted: "Okay, stop yelling, or come back to death soon."
Liang Milima ran over with Gu Guan in his arms, stood in front of Tang Song, pointed at Gu Guan and said: "Old Tang, this is the brother I just met today, Gu Guan, he will be your brother from now on.
