Fortunately, Li Jinglong is a cat and can change his face quickly.
If it were an ordinary person, who could change so quickly in a hurry, let alone say something like this that seems to be heartbreaking.
But the two old men still smiled jokingly.
"Ah, you're still here, you damn fool, Long live the Lord has gone away, hurry up and wait on me!" Guo Ying turned around.
"We two brothers are having a conversation, and you are here to just listen!" Cao Zhen glared and cursed angrily.
"Two, two!" Li Jinglong clasped his fists in salute and said with a smile, "On weekdays in the capital, even if I want to honor you, I can't find the door even if I hold a lantern. Now that I have come out, I have met Mr. Zhang Laohou's happy event.
It's inconvenient for you two to catch up all day, so I lick my face and ask for a favor to give this junior a chance."
"What's the inconvenience? We brothers just went out without any money!" Cao Zhen sneered.
"When the hell did you two ever go out and take money with you!"
Li Jinglong cursed in his heart, but still had a smile on his face, "Do you think this is a coincidence? Is this a coincidence? You two went out without any money, and I happened to have some money scattered around, so I just prepared it for you two.
Of?"
Guo Ying put her hands behind her back and smiled, "Think about it, we two brothers are quite handy!"
"What kind of friendship do you two have with Mr. Zhang? You can't use it if you don't have it! Besides, it's rare for a junior to have such a face. I can help you two with things, but I can't do it with glory, right?" Li Jinglong's heart ached.
, with a smile on his face.
Cao Zhen looked at him sideways and stretched out a finger, "I want one thousand taels of gold..."
"If your old Ga Ben'er dies, you need so much gold to build a coffin and erect a gold tombstone?"
Li Jinglong was so angry that he couldn't hold back his anger, "How dare you ask for it and ask for it for a thousand taels? Give me back the fucking gold? You are so fucking worthy of being born in Jie Dao, how dare you ask for it!"
"Stop teasing him!" Guo Ying pushed Cao Zhen, "Prepare one hundred taels of gold for each of us brothers, and one or two weights of small yellow croakers. When we go back to follow the gang, we will have two pieces of ninety-nine small yellow croakers."
Son, take the long-term meaning!"
One person is one hundred, two people are two hundred.
Li Jinglong's distressed face was deformed. What does two hundred taels of gold mean?
In the capital, a bachelor can buy a house with 2 rooms and 12 rooms, marry a wife, and live comfortably for the rest of his life. As long as he has no bad habits, he may not be able to finish the money until he dies.
"Are you feeling distressed?" Cao Zhen asked coldly.
"No!" Li Jinglong said quickly, "Junior will take care of it right away, don't worry!"
Seeing that he was so alert, the two old killers nodded with satisfaction.
"I owe you a favor, and I won't owe it in vain!" Guo Ying said.
Cao Zhen looked at Li Jinglong and suddenly said with some seriousness, "Xiao Lizi, do you know why our Huaixi nobles are so monolithic that they cannot be broken apart or broken?"
These words made Li Jinglong suddenly stunned.
"It's not because we are all from Huaixi." Cao Zhen continued, "In troubled times, my own son can be killed and eaten. How much is a fellow villager worth?"
"When the emperor failed, no one spent a lot of money to win us over. Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang, and even the Tatars gave us gold and silver as long as we nodded."
"But we still eat from the same pot and kill with the same knife as our poor brothers. Why?"
As he said that, the usual shameless look in Cao Zhen's eyes disappeared and was replaced by solemnity, "It's because no matter when everyone comes, even if they only have a piece of cake in their hands, everyone has to share it.
Never eat alone.”
"It's the friendship that gives you my life as long as your brother nods. It's the loyalty that makes me push my brother out even if I don't care about my life on the battlefield, even if I get stabbed myself."
"When you're robbing money, you're going to break your head, but when you're spending money, you're also fighting for it! If one person has something to do, everyone will help. If there's something that everyone can't handle, then risk your life to get there."
"Of course, especially your grandfather. If there are any ditches or bumps in your house, you don't have to open your mouth. He will definitely arrive first and make it clear to you!"
"You, little Li, are very clever and quick-witted, but you are not very good at dealing with people, because you are too smart and calculating. If I say that you rely on your elders and show off to your elders, you are just short-sighted and keep all your favors in plain sight."
"Is it meaningful for a man to live in this world and figure everything out clearly? Especially when it comes to money, if you really have a friendship with someone, you won't let you spend even a copper coin in vain!"
"Okay, okay!" Guo Ying pulled Cao Zhen, "Why are you telling him this?"
After hearing what Cao Zhen said, Li Jinglong wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything. It seemed that these words made no sense, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was really the case.
"He doesn't have any of the heroic spirit of our Huaixi men!" Cao Zhen was still chattering, "He is such a thief!"
After saying that, he turned to Li Jinglong and said, "Do you think that little Xu Zi can give you a winter coat and jacket based on your reputation? He sees that you are from the noble lineage of Huaixi. Do you think that we old immortals , why do you pretend not to know and still hide it after you know it?"
"If you weren't from our side, let alone your delusional interference, I would have made you miserable!"
"Okay, it's time to stop playing!" Guo Ying pulled Cao Zhen, "Isn't he a kid?"
"How young is he?" Cao Zhen snorted coldly.
After the two old men left, Li Jinglong stood there and thought about it by himself.
After a long time, he sighed, then turned around and walked to the edge of the garden, calling someone over.
"What are your orders from the Duke?" That man was one of the guards on this trip, and he could be considered an old subordinate of Li Jinglong.
"Excuse me," Li Jinglong said in a low voice, "quickly go to the Dade Sheng Silk and Satin Shop in Zhongdu and find their shopkeeper, Ji Bochang. Tell him that I need money to bring over two hundred small yellow croakers of one or two weight. You have worked so hard, Shuangma keeps thinking that one night is enough!"
"Ji Bochang? What kind of fucking name is this?" the guard thought to himself.
However, Duke Cao Guo had an order, and he did not dare to neglect it. He cupped his fists and said, "I'll leave my humble position right now!"
~~
In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, in a magnificent hall where even the spittoon was gilded, Zhu Yunxi sat down with the old man and talked to Zhang Long with a smile.
"Good guy!" The old man looked at this room and said with a smile, "You are the damn Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, right? The golden light makes us dizzy!"
"I'm afraid of being poor, but I want to show off my wealth!" Zhang Long smiled, then turned and shouted behind him, "Ms. Wang, come out and serve tea!" After saying that, he smiled at the old man and said, "This is the wife I want to remarry. Please help me!"
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but be a little curious as to what kind of natural beauty Zhang Long, an old marquis who only loves beauty, would like to continue.
But the next second, the person coming out from behind made him a little disappointed.
A woman in her forties came out. She was not tall, her lower limbs were as thick as water tanks, and she also had a hunchback.
He is not very good-looking either, and his face is covered with many freckles.
She lowered her head when walking and walked quickly, revealing a pair of big feet under her skirt.
After leaning over to say hello, he lowered his head and served tea to Mr. and Mrs. Zhu Yunxi. His hands looked like they had worked hard and were very rough.
After the woman appeared and poured tea, she leaned over to say hello again and walked down quickly.
"What do you think?" Zhang Long asked.
The old man nodded, "Well, not bad, it looks like I can live a good life!"
"She used to be the girl next to Chen's wife. After Chen's daughter-in-law left, she has always been waiting by Chen's side!" Mr. Zhang's voice was a bit sighing, "She has been serving me for more than 20 years. She works hard and never complains.
She washes all my socks and underwear by hand. When I was sick, she stayed awake for several days and nights to wait on me, peeing me, peeing, wiping my body, and giving me medicine.”
"I originally thought that if I leave more money for her, she won't be sad for the rest of her life when I leave!" Zhang Long said, sighing, "But at the beginning of the year, I fell ill and was very dangerous. I
When she was ill, I vaguely heard her begging God to make a wish, saying that she would exchange her life for a few more years of my life."
"A good woman!" The old man nodded, "An ugly wife will bring home treasures!"
"Later I thought that I would be sorry if I didn't give her a title." Zhang Long continued, "The tomb of Chen's wife has been sealed for a long time. After I die, I can't be carried in and buried together. If I give her a title, she will be buried together in the future."
On the day she leaves, she can carry her to my grave and be my companion!"
"Grandson!" The old man sighed after hearing this and said with a smile, "Give her a royal decree!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi smiled.
Giving the Wang family a imperial edict was equivalent to the imperial court recognizing the Fengxiang Hou Madam. Even if Zhang Long's descendants did not want to see the successor's wife in the future, they would still treat her with courtesy and not dare to be mean at all.
"Thank you, my dear sir!" Zhang Long stood up and saluted.
