There is an endless stream of people rushing to Hu County.
Chang'an City is the capital of the country, and the most indispensable thing is rich people. The biggest characteristic of rich people is that they have leisure, and many people are even so idle that their balls ache.
But early this morning, news came that a tree root museum had been built in Hu County. It was not an exhibition of tree roots, but of human roots.
Good guy, when many people heard the news, they didn't even eat breakfast, so they hurriedly called their friends and went to Hu County to see it.
The last time it was so lively was when we went to see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
The journey from Chang'an to Huxian is not that short, but I can't stand everyone's enthusiasm.
Soon, the first group of people arrived.
Only then did everyone realize that this museum was not built in the county town, but in a remote place about one mile west of the county town.
At the entrance, there is a large stone three people high, with several magnificent characters carved on it: Tree Root Museum.
There are three ticket windows next to it. It costs one penny per person. After buying the ticket, you can line up to enter the museum.
The so-called museum is a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits. In each room of the courtyard, various human roots are displayed, with detailed introductions, so that everyone can know who these are in front of them.
When everyone arrived at the last courtyard, they discovered that the door of one of the rooms was closed, and there was a sign at the door that read: This thing is collected by the brother of Zhao Yang, the chief steward of the Palace of Internal Affairs, and his brother Wei An
It is abnormal and transcends ordinary people. It is about two feet long, comparable to the root of a donkey, and is rare in the world.
"real or fake?"
"Impossible, how can one compare with others?"
"Yeah, that's an exaggeration!"
Everyone shook their heads in disbelief.
At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, and someone shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the Duke of Huyi County has arrived."
Everyone moved out of the way, and sure enough they saw Du He and Li Ke walking over with smiles on their faces.
Du He grabbed a middle-aged man and asked, "Did you, you bitch, just now say that I was a liar?"
The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, and he said fearfully: "My lord, please forgive me. I'm a fool. I'm so confused. How could the lord lie to me? My lord, you are the most honest person in the world."
Du He nodded: "Yes, I hate people who don't keep their word. You, go in and have a look. If I lie to you, I will give you three hundred coins. If I don't lie, I will break your hands."
Legs, how are you?"
"ah?"
"Ah, what? This young master is the most honest person. Come on, send him in!" Du He waved his hand.
The tiger and wolf guards next to him dragged the middle-aged man and threw him into the house. No matter how much the man yelled, it was useless.
After a while, the door opened and a middle-aged man walked out with a look of fear on his face.
Du He asked: "How?"
"Me, me, me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me. The villain is wrong. Mr. Zhao's brother is indeed a great man. I was wrong. Please spare my life..."
"Come here, break his legs and throw him out!" Du He did what he said.
The guards dragged the middle-aged man out, and not long after, screams like a chicken being killed came from the outer courtyard.
However, everyone was not interested in this screaming guy, but became extremely interested in Director Zhao's brother.
"County man, we want to see it too!"
"Yes, County Lord, let us have a glimpse of Mr. Zhao's style!"
Du He said with a smile: "Do you want to see it?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Du He stretched out his hand and said, "It's easy. Each person pays one hundred cents and can watch all they want."
Everyone was stunned.
However, the few people in front took out a hundred pennies without hesitation and rushed inside.
These people are all owners who are not short of money.
In a short time, a box for collecting money at the door was filled to the brim.
Li Ke was shocked.
How can you still make money like this?
He tugged on Du He's sleeve: "Teacher, that middle-aged man just now looks familiar to me. Is he from the county government and the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
"Ah, have you discovered all this?" Du He was greatly surprised.
"Teacher, wouldn't it be a little bad to treat one of our own people like this?"
"Your Highness, you are wrong. That guy is alive and well. I just saw that he has acting talent, so I invited him to come and act for everyone. You see, he is very successful in his acting. Now our business is getting better and better.
The better..." Du He explained.
Li Ke suddenly realized.
Sure enough, the teacher is really great.
Li Ke asked again: "Teacher, I still have a question. I have seen Zhao Yang's brother before. The dried one was less than one foot long. Why did it become two feet today?"
Du He folded his hands and said, "Your Highness, do you still remember Mr. Shangguan?"
"Of course I remember, we were eating pig's little things together yesterday." Li Ke said, couldn't help but wipe the corner of his mouth. He has been eating pig's little things during this time, and every morning he would take out a ruler to mark for himself.
Take a moment, and you must examine yourself three times, that is, ask yourself in the morning, noon and evening every day: Am I getting older today?
Du He said with emotion: "Mr. Shangguan is really a talent. He can not only groom people, but also pigs. A few days ago, he was even able to groom horses. Moreover, it only took two days to do it."
It's clean and neat, and the distressing skills are top-notch. It looks like an enlarged version of Xiao Zhao Yang..."
Li Ke's eyes widened: "Teacher, what do you mean, the person in the room now is not Zhao Yang's brother at all, but Yi Ma's brother?"
Du He nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry, that horse already has sixteen children, and he will have no regrets in his life. Moreover, if he knew that he would be visited by so many people, in the name of Manager Zhao,
I’m sure he’ll be spinning with joy.”
"I am Cao..."
Li Ke was so surprised that he cursed directly, which he learned from Du He.
"Teacher, you really make me admire you so much..."
Li Ke admired Du He and wanted to lie down on the ground and lick the two muddy particles off Du He's shoes.
the other side.
All the people who had finished visiting Zhao Yang’s little brother came out with satisfied faces, and some even went back to continue the visit before they had seen enough.
Everyone has a common feeling: the trip is worthwhile.
With one hundred pennies, if you can admire such a majestic thing in the world, what else can you not be satisfied with?
As a result, more and more people went to visit.
The first group of people who returned to Chang'an brought the news back, and it was spread from one person to another. People flocked to the tree root museum and wanted to see it.
The business of the museum is getting better and better, and more and more people are visiting Little Brother Zhao Yang.
…
Deep inside the palace.
Ximen Qing practiced for several days and was finally able to walk, but he still had to use a cane.
"Nothing, nothing..."
Ximen Qing sat at the door and lamented that the warm afternoon sun could not warm his desperate and cold heart.
He was careful and worked tirelessly to save 300,000 gu. Now, he bought land with 100,000 guan and built a restaurant with 200,000 guan. He returned to the palace one night and had nothing.
As for what Du He said about getting rich, he couldn't even think about it.
All this money must have been fed to the dogs.
"Why is my life so miserable..." Ximen Qing wailed.
At this time, a young eunuch hurried over and shouted: "Chief Ximen, there is news from Hu County."
