Before going out, Lin Yutong stuffed a purse into the fourth master's pocket, which contained gold and silver beans, just in case of emergencies.
Who knows what Sanlang wants to do when he goes out?
"Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible." Fourth Master squeezed Lin Yutong's hand before turning around and going out.
After leaving the house, Sanlang teased the fourth master, "You can't tell that the fourth brother is still a compassionate person." This Lin family can be considered handsome, but he only looks like fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is still very green. He is not satisfied with this.
The little girl is not interested yet.
Erlang curled his lips vaguely. When it comes to appearance, his daughter-in-law is naturally the prettiest. After all, the fourth son moved his wife to his daughter-in-law. In the end, it was not because of the strength of her mother-in-law. The only daughter of the two-room Lin family, he looked at Lin.
The uncle's enthusiasm for the fourth and his wife is well known to him. Such an in-law's family will get much more than what he gets in his own family. If the conditions of his in-law's family were like this, he would be able to be diligent every day.
I am also willing to wash my daughter-in-law's foot bindings.
The Fourth Master seemed not to have heard anything and asked, changing the subject: "Where do you plan to go? How about calling a car?"
No one in the county is familiar with their roads.
Sanlang said simply: "You can call a carriage or a sedan chair."
Fourth Master turned his head and said to Erlang: "Then call for a carriage."
In the carriage, three people can sit down, but in the sedan chair, only one person can sit. Do you want yourself and Erlang to follow the sedan chair?
As a result, the horse-drawn carriage had to wait, and the only ready-made ones were donkey-carts.
Sanlang nodded helplessly, "Let it go." After getting on the donkey cart, he raised his voice and said to the driver: "Where is the place to have fun in this county? Let's go there."
The coachman was stunned, "There are gambling houses, prostitutes, and shops. It just depends on where the young master wants to have fun."
Sanlang laughed and said, "As a man, naturally I go to the prostitute first."
The Fourth Master paused, not knowing what the second generation ancestor wanted to do.
Going to a prostitute to do business? I have never heard of it.
Erlang stuttered a little: "Third... Third brother, you can't... you can't go to that place... If I find out, I will be beaten to death."
"Three of our brothers didn't say anything, how could I know?" Sanlang said and glanced at the fourth master, "Look at how calm the fourth master is."
Erlang glanced at Fourth Master and stopped talking. Although his eyes were anxious, he was more excited.
"Go to the biggest building." Saburo shouted to the driver.
The coachman responded loudly, "Yichunlou, please."
Yichun Building, a three-story building, is a relatively eye-catching building in Shunping County. Especially at night, rows of red lanterns outside the building can be seen from a distance. As you get closer, you can hear the sound of silk and bamboo.
A charming laugh came from the building, with an air of extravagance.
The three of them got off the donkey cart, and Saburo paid the driver a handful of money.
Erlang looked at the girls at the door and almost let out a sigh of relief. Compared with these girls, his wife was really not even good enough to carry shoes.
Sanlang laughed in his heart, these things being sold are not as good as the taste of women from good families. Only those who have never seen the world will be dazzled by such vulgar fans. Once a woman can be bought with money, this woman is not worth anything.
Already.
Seeing Sanlang take out a stack of paper from his arms, Fourth Master glanced at it under the dim light and understood what this guy wanted to do.
The women in the drawings are wearing modern lingerie.
Saburo wanted to sell the drawings to JI Workshop.
Knowing what he was going to do, the fourth master was no longer interested in following Sanlang in. "Ask the second brother to accompany you in. I'm outside. If anything goes wrong inside, just scream. I don't have to call you every day. Call me."
The earth is not functioning properly.”
Sanlang was stunned, and raised his thumb to Fourth Master, "Be careful!" This Silang is much easier to use than Erlang. Damn it, when he goes out to do errands, the second man's eyes are glued to the woman and he can't get off. This JI shop is like this, no matter where it is.
There are thugs. If the other party is unwilling to pay, I have to have backup. It's good for the fourth child to be outside.
"Don't worry, Third Brother will not treat you badly." Sanlang patted Fourth Master on the shoulder, then turned around and went inside with the help of the two girls.
The Fourth Master dusted off the area where Saburo had photographed him in disgust, and then turned around and went to the small stall opposite. Sitting here were all the servants, all waiting for the master to have fun inside.
But those who can bring followers are considered number one in this county. Listening to what these servants say, you can always get something you want.
The Fourth Master sat down, and sitting opposite him was a dark-faced man wearing soap clothes. He must be a servant of the Yamen.
"It seems that we can only share the table with the official." The fourth master sat down and ordered half a catty of wine, a plate of braised pork, a fat intestine, and two pig's trotters. When the dishes came, the fourth master pushed the dishes towards the middle.
"It's boring to drink alone, so let's take some company."
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. The man thought about it and realized that he had nothing to gain from him. He pushed the wine glass forward generously and said, "That would be taking advantage of my brother."
The fourth master poured wine for each other. You two drank one sip, and I drank it one sip.
"Brother, are you here to do something?" the man asked.
Fourth Master nodded, "I'm just here to accompany the guests. Others go inside to have fun, but I think it's okay to be outside."
The two of them chatted about each other. It turned out that this person was named Song Qi, and he was a servant of the county government. Going deeper, the Fourth Master actually got in touch with him, "I don't know where Brother Song's family is."
But in Songjiazhuang?"
Song Qi nodded, "In our county, half of the people named Song are from Songjiazhuang and belong to the same clan."
The Fourth Master smiled, "That's not really an outsider. My brother married a girl from Songjiazhuang."
Song Qi put down the wine glass, "Is there anything else?"
The two of them pulled each other hard and found out everything about each other. They knew each other's roots and were related by marriage. They also became closer to each other when talking.
The fourth master then asked about the county government affairs, "I saw that the county captain has been living in the town. I wonder if the autumn tax will be exempted this year? Otherwise, he should be busy long ago, how could he be so free?"
"It has nothing to do with the autumn tax. You have to pay whatever you have to pay." Song Qi whispered: "It's just that you can't pee in a pot. We old parents, I heard that we have a big background..."
Fourth Master thought to himself, it is indeed so.
He stopped asking further questions and just poured the wine over, and both of them changed the subject.
After finishing half a kilogram of wine, Song Qi stood up and said goodbye, "Brother, brother is leaving first. When you come back to the county town, you must come to see brother. Let's have a drink together."
"Absolutely." Fourth Master stood up and watched Song Qi leave.
I thought to myself, this is a person I should make friends with. At least he is well-informed in terms of information.
Just as he was thinking about it, Erlang came out, his face glowing red.
"Do you know how much Lao San's stack of paintings was sold for?" Erlang's voice was trembling, "Two hundred taels! A whole two hundred taels!" He raised two fingers and waved them in front of Fourth Master, "Old man.
San asked you to come in, so we three brothers can have some fun inside."
The fourth master thought to himself, if you dare to go to the kiln, if your family finds out about this, then you and Erlang will be the main culprits if Sanlang is fine. He will come here in the future, but not today.
So, he whispered: "You keep your voice down. Are you afraid that others won't know or something? With so many banknotes, you still dare to spend the night here. Losing the banknotes is a small matter, but being murdered for money is a big deal."
Erlang shivered and woke up in an instant. He looked around nervously, then nodded and said, "I'll go get the old one...the third one."
The Fourth Master looked at Erlang's back and shook his head. He turned around and saw Erlang and Sanlang hurriedly leaving. This time they came out much faster.
I got on a carriage without asking the price and hurried to the carriage shop.
"Fourth Brother, thank you for reminding me." Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief, "A bitch is ruthless, and an actor is unrighteous. With so much money in there, isn't this a hen crawling into a weasel's nest?"
He had been stolen from a nightclub before and was almost kidnapped. So, when Erlang conveyed Shiro's words, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He took two silver ingots from the cloth bag and gave them to Erlang and Fourth Master respectively, "It's okay for our third brother to know about this. Don't tell my family, okay?"
"When the old man found out about selling paintings, he felt even more sad. Why are you talking about this?" Fourth Master said.
Anyway, he was outside and only knew that Sanlang was selling paintings. Even if asked in the future, he would still say the same thing.
Saburo suddenly laughed, "Yes! Yes! It's about selling paintings."
Things that were not something that could be brought to light in the first place became completely elegant when Shiro said it.
Erlang didn't think much about it. As long as there was money to be made, no one would talk too much. He also looked forward to the next time that Sanlang would take him with him.
When the fourth master came back, he smelled of alcohol.
After Lin Yutong helped him wash up, a waiter from the store came in with a food box and gave him hot and sour soup to relieve his hangover.
However, the fourth master went directly to Lin Jishi first and told him about the money that Sanlang had with him, "Please pay more attention. If it is really stolen, you can't tell clearly."
The key is that they are afraid that the three of them will be followed when they come out of Yichun Building.
Lin Jishi glanced at the fourth master in surprise. The old man really got it wrong this time. This boy from the Yin family was not a show-off, but he was very thoughtful.
"I understand. You can sleep peacefully." Lin Jishi's tone was very gentle, "If anyone could really act wild in the store, my store would not have been open for nearly twenty years."
The fourth master then resigned.
Lying on the bed, he told Lin Yutong about Sanlang selling drawings of underwear and sexy underwear.
"Prostitute? Are you in?" Lin Yutong sat up instantly.
The fourth master laughed, "Okay! I didn't go in. I drank half the night with a government servant named Song Qi outside." Then, he changed the topic to Song Qi.
Lin Yutong listened for a long time and said in a daze: "From now on, I will also send a gift to the Song family during the four o'clock and eight festivals. Don't make a temporary decision when it comes to hiring people."
The Fourth Master breathed a sigh of relief, as this matter had been put aside.
"Take the ten taels of silver you have with you and give them to your mother to keep." Lin Yutong warned again. This is the only income that can be explained from a clear source.
Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong and said, "Sleep peacefully! I know what's going on."
