This man had a rather ferocious appearance, with dark skin, like a pirate. In addition, the soldier who had been on the battlefield had a murderous aura. Chen Mu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this.
But in the years when I was a gangster in my previous life, I saw a lot of fierce people, so I wouldn't be afraid.
At that moment, he still came to Xia Hou with a smile on his face: "Brother, don't be so angry."
Xiahou sat on the ground, chewing steamed buns, and looked at Chen Mu. Then he said in a hoarse voice, "If you don't buy my porcelain vase and ironware, what are you doing here?"
Chen Mu smiled, then turned around with his hands behind him and looked at the dragon kiln behind him: "Your kiln is well repaired, can you help me repair one too, and I can count the labor without worry."
Xia Hou glanced at Chen Mu again and sneered: "Humph, Jianlong kiln is forging iron and firing porcelain. These things are all skills passed down from my ancestors. It can be said that they are more important than my life. You kid..."
"Ten taels of silver per handwork fee."
But before Xia Hou finished speaking, Chen Mu crossed his fingers and made a cross.
It was strangely quiet at this moment...
As they looked at each other in a daze, Xiahou's mind was racing. He coughed a few times and then said: "You boy... you seem to be very kind, and seeing that we are destined, I don't mind sharing the family inheritance with you."
Seeing the sincerity on Xia Hou's face, Chen Mujin suppressed a smile and nodded. Sure enough, the world is still the same. There is no loyalty or not, but he didn't give enough chips.
Then Chen Mu conveniently gave Xiahou a couple of silver coins.
"This is the deposit. I'll go back and prepare the materials. Find me in Lihe Village ten days later. My name is Chen Mu."
After saying that, Chen Mu ignored the man and walked directly out of the mountain.
When the two returned to the village again, it was already afternoon and they could go home.
Liu Si kept whispering in his ear on the way, begging Liu Jingtang to be taken away.
Although she didn't like the boy very much, her daughter-in-law begged her. If Liu Jingtang was not taken away, I'm afraid Liu Si would always be depressed in the future.
Now I'm afraid it can only be regarded as a love affair.
After arguing with Old Man Liu for a long time, he finally spent ten taels of silver to replace Liu Jingtang.
Now I have carefully calculated it, I have been buying a shop and building a house these days, and I am afraid that I have less than thirty taels of silver left.
After Liu Si said goodbye to his mother Yiyi, Chen Mu led the two of them towards the entrance of the village.
After walking far away, the Liu family's father and son were constantly looking at the objects sent by Chen Mu in Liu's house. Although they looked at them like dirt, how could they not care about expensive items in their hearts?
Everyone is the same, and you cannot become a saint just because you read a few sentences.
"Dad, the tip of this hair is quite good. I'm afraid it's the best material. You can smell it."
Old Man Liu took it and sniffed it, his expression showing satisfaction, but he still snorted coldly and put the tea aside.
"It's just luck. If it weren't for the Qi family's children who don't understand elegance, how could this country boy come to the mansion to show off? Old lady, take this cloth and change it into some clothes, and then use these jewelry hairpins to pawn."
Seeing their disgusted but happy expressions, Mrs. Liulin couldn't help but shook her head. This was the first time she discovered that the so-called literati bachelors were actually just like normal people, but they pretended to be better.
"Eh? There is another painting, this kid..."
Halfway through the words, Liu Qing suddenly closed her mouth and stared at the content of the painting with her eyes.
Old Liu turned his head and glanced at Liu Qing, and asked, "What is the painting? It's like seeing a ghost. Bring it to me to see."
As he said this, Old Man Liu snatched the painting away with one hand.
"This is……"
Maybe the old man Liu's eyes were not very good. He stared at him for a long time, but at the next moment, his expression suddenly changed!
"Dad...is this kid... really talented? This poem..."
Old Liu didn't pay any attention to Liu Qing, but still stared at the content of the painting with a solemn expression.
The room was deathly silent, and after a long silence, Old Man Liu put down the scroll and walked slowly towards the room.
Just like Cao Zhi, he would recite a sentence in a deep voice every time he took a step.
"My father gave birth to me, and my mother bowed to me."
"Caress me, caress me, grow me, educate me, take care of me"
"Anshe...is no longer with me."
After reading the last sentence, Old Man Liu's figure completely disappeared in front of the inner door, and one could clearly feel a sense of melancholy and loss permeating the air.
But I don’t know whether Old Man Liu is acting like this because Chen Mu’s talent was affected, or because the father and daughter in the painting and the poem made him emotional.
But Chen Mu and his party arrived in Yelang City soon.
Since the old house in Lihe Village only had two bedrooms, Chen Mubian could only bring Liu Jingtang to the shop to stay temporarily.
Liu Jingtang was very sensible along the way. He took all the things Liu Lin gave Liu Si by himself. They were not valuable things, such as potatoes, melons and fruits.
However, he was given a full basket, weighing a few dozen kilograms at least. When asked if it was heavy, he just smiled and shook his head, looking so naive.
Liu Siben planned to buy him some clothes when he entered the city, but Liu Jingtang was unwilling to do so, saying that his brother-in-law had already spent a lot of money, but now he had no shame in spending money on it.
Hearing these words, Liu Si was overjoyed, and was eventually forced into a shop to buy several sets of clothes.
As for Chen Mu, he stood aside and quietly watched this kid's performance.
He looks naive and sincere, but in fact, this kid's mind is probably capable of crushing most people in the world.
This kid started setting up this scam a few days ago. If he hadn't been careful, I'm afraid even Chen Mu himself would have been deceived by this kid.
After leaving the clothes shop, Chen Mu came to the door of Dongcheng shop again. It was approaching the end of Youshi and dusk was getting late.
Liu Si wanted to send Liu Jingtang into the house together, but Chen Mu suddenly said: "It's getting late, go to the butcher stall to buy some meat, and I'll come find you after I put Jingtang's son up."
Liu Si nodded, and then looked at Liu Jingtang with great concern: "Jingtang'er, I will come to see you in a few days. If anything happens, come to Lihe Village to find us."
Liu Jingtang also said with a look of reluctance: "Sister came earlier, I haven't seen you for five years, Jingtang'er also wants to say a few more words to her..."
At this moment, looking at Liu Jingtang's sincere and youthful face, Chen Mu suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
I have to say, this guy is really good at pretending.
After the two of them finished flirting, Chen Mu took Liu Jingtang into the shop.
"This house is too spacious and clean. Thank you, brother-in-law. If I hadn't met you, brother-in-law, Jing Tang'er would have stayed in the village until he died."
Just when Liu Jingtang was about to kneel down and kowtow, Chen Mu stopped him and sneered: "Humph, you are so scheming. Even without me, I'm afraid you won't be willing to stay in the village for the rest of your life."
After saying these words, Chen Muneng could clearly feel Liu Jingtang's hand slightly startled.
After stagnating for a moment, he raised his head and said with a confused expression: "No...brother-in-law, I don't understand what you mean."
Seeing that he still refused to admit it, Chen Mu leaned into his ear and said quietly: "On weekdays, the Liu family works in the fields together, but I heard from Brother Liu that these days... you have to do it alone, especially...
What do you mean by those pieces of land entering the village?"
