Chapter 1230 The small head of two taels of silver
Chapter 1230 A small fortune of two taels of silver
After eating at the Huibin Building, Chai Yan returned home.
As soon as he entered the house, Uncle Cai told Chai Yan that people from the Ministry of Revenue had come in the morning and registered the five Ge Hong people. He said that they would receive a reply within a few days.
Chai Yan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Master Gu to be very concerned about his affairs. He had just finished talking about it last night and had someone come to do it this morning.
When Uncle Cai saw Chai Yan holding the official uniform and files, he called inside: "Xiao Kui, come out quickly and help the young master get things..."
"Don't bother, I can just take it in myself." Although Chai Yan now enjoys having people around to serve him, he is not used to having others help him with everything.
With that said, Chai Yan walked towards his house. After walking a few steps, he asked: "Where are Lao Ge and the others? Why don't they see anyone?"
Uncle Cai hurriedly said: "Oh, Master, they are over there in their house, they seem to be practicing martial arts."
"Practice martial arts?" Chai Yan was slightly confused, wondering why he had never seen them practice martial arts before?
With doubts, Chai Yan continued to walk inside, but Xiaokui chased him halfway, quickly took the official uniform from Chai Yan's hand, and followed him.
When they came to Ge Hong's house, they happened to see Yu Tie and Fatty Lai wrestling. Yu Tie was shirtless, showing his solid muscles, and was trying his best to use tricks on Fatty Lai, but Fatty Lai was too heavy.
, Yu Tie tried all kinds of methods, but still couldn't shake Fatty Lai's body like a mountain.
"Second brother, work harder! Work harder and you will win..." Guan Maochun clenched his fists and kept cheering.
Cheng Jiu also shouted: "Second brother, you can't hold his legs. You can't use brute force with him. Don't hold him!"
Only Ge Hong did not speak. He sat on the railing of the corridor and looked at the two people competing in front of the house with a smile.
Chai Yan and Xiao Kui walked gently to Ge Hong. Hearing the sound, Ge Hong turned his head and immediately stood up: "My lord is back."
"Yeah." Chai Yan just nodded slightly and continued to look at Yu Tie and Fatty Lai.
Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun also saw Chai Yan arriving, and immediately stopped shouting and stood up straight.
"Sir, you are here."
Fatty Lai seemed to be very relaxed during the battle, and he actually had time to say hello to Chai Yan at this time.
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Don't be distracted, be careful you lose."
"Impossible!" Fatty Lai responded with great confidence.
Yu Tie probably sensed that Fatty Lai was distracted by what he was saying, so he took the opportunity to throw Fatty Lai to the ground, but Fatty Lai was wary and Yu Tie failed in the end.
"Oh, what a pity!" Cheng Jiu immediately clapped his hands, feeling very pity.
"Just a little bit close!" Guan Maochun was also very anxious.
Chai Yan turned around and asked: "Xiaokui, who do you think will win between the two of them?"
Xiaokui looked at the two of them, shook her head and said: "Master, Xiaokui can't understand, I don't know which one of them is better."
Chai Yan smiled slightly, thought for a while and asked: "Then let me ask this, who do you want to win?"
Xiaokui didn't want to answer such an offending question, so she said: "Master, they are not really fighting. It doesn't matter whether they win or lose."
"Xiao Kui, guess who will win. If you guess right, the young master will give you two taels of silver as pocket money. How about that?"
Chai Yan took out a piece of broken silver as he spoke, but it definitely looked like more than two taels.
Xiaokui was a little embarrassed and shook her head quickly: "Forget it, young master, Xiaokui doesn't want to guess..."
"It doesn't matter, just guess," Chai Yan said.
When Guan Maochun heard that it was interesting, he walked over in a few steps and said to Xiaokui: "Miss Xiaokui, just guess, it's easy to guess right, my third brother will definitely win!"
After hearing what Guan Maochun said, Xiaokui hesitated a little and couldn't help but look at Yu Tie and Fatty Lai.
When Fatty Lai saw Xiaokui looking over, he immediately said loudly: "Miss Xiaokui, guess if I win, I will definitely win!"
Xiaokui was originally a little afraid of Fatty Lai, but now that he shouted, she immediately hid half of her body behind Chai Yan.
Chai Yan pulled Xiaokui out from behind and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? He just looks fierce, but he is actually quite nice."
Xiaokui nodded and secretly glanced at Fatty Lai again.
Guan Maochun urged: "Miss Xiaokui, guess quickly, or they will finish the fight."
"Young Master orders you to make a quick guess." Chai Yan deliberately made his face grim.
Xiaokui had no choice but to say: "I...I guess Brother Yu Tie...he will win!"
"Ah?" Guan Maochun looked stunned, his mouth wide open.
Ge Hong and Cheng Jiu both laughed when they heard this result. Xiaokui was usually afraid of approaching Fatty Lai, so it was not strange at all to say this, but it was quite reasonable.
Hearing Xiaokui's choice, Fatty Lai had an obvious look of disappointment on his face.
Chai Yan shook his head and sighed: "Xiao Kui, it seems you really don't want these two taels of silver."
Even Chai Yan believed that Fatty Lai would definitely win.
Xiaokui said sternly: "Master, you are very kind to Xiaokui, and you give Xiaokui a lot of wages. Xiaokui is not a greedy person."
"Two taels of silver is a small bonus, how could you be greedy?" Chai Yan said with a smile.
Xiaokui didn't want to continue explaining, so she said: "Master, Xiaokui will go and iron your official uniform first. If you need anything, call me."
With that said, Xiaokui was ready to leave.
The moment Xiaokui turned around, she heard someone yell "Ouch" and then fell to the ground.
Everyone turned around and saw that the person who fell to the ground was Fatty Lai, not Yu Tie.
On the other hand, Yu Tie was looking at Fatty Lai with his hands in the air and a confused look on his face, as if asking, what's going on with you?
Fatty Lai, who fell to the ground, saw that everyone had seen it, and immediately shouted: "I lost, it was me who lost, and the second brother won!"
As soon as these words came out, the smiles on Ge Hong and Cheng Jiu's faces became even brighter. They couldn't understand what was going on.
"Third brother, how could you..."
Guan Maochun stopped mid-sentence. Although he took a moment to understand, it was not too late.
Chai Yan immediately put two taels of silver into Xiaokui's hand and said, "Awesome Xiaokui, you are really sharp-eyed!"
"Master, I can't have..." Xiaokui didn't dare to accept it and quickly returned the money to Chai Yan.
"Take it, you earned it yourself, what can't you ask for? I'll be angry if you don't obey me!" Chai Yanjie said angrily.
Xiaokui then became quiet, nodded obediently, and at the same time glanced at Fatty Lai quietly.
At this time, Fatty Lai had already stood up under Yu Tie's pull. He patted the dust on his butt and gave Xiao Kui a silly smile.
Xiaokui hurriedly avoided Fatty Lai's gaze and said, "Master, I'm going to work first. You two can chat..."
After saying that, Xiaokui left quickly.
After Xiaokui left, Chai Yan straightened his face and asked seriously: "Fat Lai, are you attracted to our Xiaokui?"
Fatty Lai was immediately shocked, shook his head and waved his hands and said: "No, sir, don't get me wrong, I, I, I...I didn't, I'm not...that...
"
Seeing that Fatty Lai was hesitating for a long time and couldn't explain, Ge Hong helped: "Sir, it's like this. Miss Xiaokui looks very much like one of Lao San's sisters, and several of his sisters died in the war that year.
, so he will..."
Fatty Lai quickly answered: "Yes, sir, I just think that Miss Xiaokui looks like my sister, she really does, so I can't help but want to be nice to her... Sir, I swear, I will definitely
There is no wrongdoing, otherwise I will die on the street immediately!"
After hearing this, Chai Yan nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Yes, I understand."
After saying this, Chai Yan handed the files in his hand to Ge Hong and ordered: "Take a look at these files and write down the names, ages and characteristics of these people."
Ge Hong took a look at the file and asked, "Sir, who are these people?"
Chai Yan replied simply and clearly: "The fugitive prisoner!"
