While Zhao Chuanxian was studying the elf carving knife, Ilgenjue Rodford also returned home.
"Dad, a fake monk has come to our village."
Irgun Jialo Jintai, Defu's father, is standing there with his little finger with long nails raised. Lift the lid and drink tea.
There are not many valuable things in the house. All the bottles and cans are sold. Even the tea bowls are cheap goods made by local kilns.
What may still be available is the Huanghuali Taishi chair sitting under the buttocks and the Huanghuali tea table next to it.
Hearing this, he raised his head in surprise, "What foreign monk?"
Then, Defu told his father what he had seen and heard today.
Jin Tai frowned thoughtfully, "The style of clothes he wears is somewhat similar to that of foreigners."
Defu nodded, "Yes, it is somewhat similar, but different. I can't say that either." Okay. The fabric looks very thick, but it’s not common. By the way, Dad, when will you take me to the dessert shop? The candy the man gave me today was very sweet.”
Jin Tai sighed. Let’s wait for another day. Dad has been feeling a little tired these past two days.” Yawning loudly, he picked up the smoking utensil next to him and found that there was no smoke cream left. He threw it aside angrily, and then he didn't know what he thought of. He steeled himself, stood up, and said to the listless Defu next to him, "Go, pick out the litter of puppies our dog just gave birth to." Bring me the one I dislike the most. Let’s go meet the fake monk you called him.”
At first, Defu was not very happy when his father refused to buy him cakes because of his excuses. When I heard that I was going to find that person, I immediately became happy again.
Maybe, you can even mix a piece of caramel into it.
When he was a child, he remembered that his father often bought him cakes.
But later, the family fell into decline. My father smoked heavily and went to gambling houses to lose more than he won. He sold all the things he could and couldn't even afford a concubine and sent them back to his parents' home. Mother's jewelry Also sold.
How could I have any spare money to buy him pastries and preserves?
The two men went to Liu Baogui’s house with a thin little puppy in their arms.
"Bai Bao, are you at home?"
Liu Bao Bao went out and saw Mr. Jin and Tai standing outside the door with few door panels, and he was immediately happy.
"Hey, the second master is here"
Jin Tai yawned and waved his hand, "I heard that guests are coming to your house"
Liu Guobao opened the He opened the door, turned around, and Mr. Jin and Tai walked in.
He said, "He is a distant relative of Zhongyi. Why don't you come to your door to recognize your marriage?"
Jin Tai nodded, and now Zhao Chuanxin also walked out, and Jintai nodded as a greeting.
Jin Tai's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "This little brother must have returned from studying abroad."
He had been to the capital, and he was well-informed and could tell at a glance. The person in front of me must have returned from studying abroad. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he looked very polished. Those idiots from Tsarist Russia are not as well-dressed as the one in front of me., somewhat similar to what people from that German country wear.
Zhao Chuanxin was stunned for a moment, then nodded like a donkey, "Yes, he came back from studying abroad. Your Excellency, you are the only noble man in this village who wears a yellow flag."
Jintai said modestly, "It's not worth mentioning. It's expensive or not."
Then, a few people entered the room and chatted about it. Zhao Chuanxin talked nonsense about what he had seen overseas, such as how foreigners with strong body hair could smell the odor from far away, how their science and technology developed after the end of the industrial revolution, how barbaric the western development process of the United States was, and so on.
When he yawned for the fifth time, Jin Tai finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Brother Zhao, do you plan to stay here this time?" Jin Tai suddenly asked.
Zhao Chuanxin never thought about this problem.
In this era, he is like a rootless floating duck with no idea where to take root or when to take root.
So I was stunned for a few seconds and said vaguely, "That's right."
I don't know what will happen in the future, but now I must save my ancestor.
Jin Tai slapped his thigh, "That's a good feeling. Brother Zhao can't live without a house when he settles here."
Liu Baoguo next to him frowned when he heard this, and he understood Jin Tai instantly. What idea do you want to make?
Just about to speak, Jin Tai glared at him, "I'm talking to Brother Zhao, don't interrupt."
Don't say anything yet, even if most of the flags are at this moment The people are all gone, decayed, and weak, but a camel is so thin that it is bigger than a horse, and its power is still there.
Even though the Qing Dynasty's rule in the three eastern provinces is far less powerful than before, ordinary people still feel a sense of fear towards them.
Liu Guogui didn’t dare to speak.
Zhao Chuanxin saw everything, but remained calm, "Yes, we can't live without a house."
Jin Taile said cheerfully, "I do have a spare room down here, sparrow." Although it is small and has all the internal organs, why not give it to Brother Zhao”
This was originally the idea.
Zhao Chuanxin was really interested and said, "Okay, let's go over and have a look at the house."
Jin Tai smiled and thought to himself, don't look at Liu Guoyang, he has a bad head. Well, I'll trick him into paying more later
The house is in the village, and it's worse than Liu Baizui's house.
There are wooden tiles on top, stacked like a pile of random stones. Below is a yellow mud wall with various cracks and old mottled colors.
The window paper on the windows was badly damaged and fluttering in the wind.
There is no yard, and the door panel is rotten.
Jin Tai felt that he was eloquent and said, "Brother Zhao, even though it looks very shabby, it's actually better than that precious room. Look at this roof, it's covered with yellow mud underneath. The sorghum poles are covered with a layer of light and waterproof pine tiles. The precious house still leaks, but this house has no leaks at all. The roof support is also made of straight and high-quality wood. No cracks”
Zhao Chuanxin looked at him as if he were a fool.
Damn it, I’m not blind. You can tell me that it’s just a broken house.
Not only is it broken, but it is also small, except for the bedroom, there is a kitchen, and there is not even a living room.
He interrupted Jin Tae's bragging about "lots of money"
Jin Tae Zeyi. It looks like you have taken advantage of me, "You and I have hit it off immediately, and I am not short of money. This house will be yours for just thirty taels of silver." Look at this puppy. If you ask for this house, the dog will be given to you. We have an old saying, a dog is big but a child is fat. How can the family survive without a dog? This is when the British Empire's army came to fight, the officers and soldiers won a victory and collected the spoils. "
Liu Guogui hesitated at the side.
Zhao Chuanxin smiled, "Yes, we brothers hit it off immediately, and brother, you are not short of money." Why don't you just give me this house? Otherwise, we can burn yellow paper, cut off the chicken head, worship, and become a family. If brother agrees, we will find a guarantor and sign the house deed. "
Jin Tai""
How can you be more shameless than me?
Who the hell wants to bow to you? You only play burning yellow paper and chopping chickens What's wrong with him?
Liu Guoguo is also shocked.
He is a calculating person and usually likes to take advantage of others. But compared with this one, he pales in comparison.
Jin Tai's craving for cigarettes came back, tears and nose began to flow out, and his temper gradually became irritable.
He suppressed the urge to yawn and said, "Let's not go around in circles anymore, you." "Tell me, how much can you give me?"
He finally saw that the person in front of him was not easy to fool.
Zhao Chuanxin was not in a hurry, he looked back and forth at the house with his hands behind his back.< /p>
A lot of the yellow mud wall is peeling off, and many cracks can be seen. The tiles are not neat, and the waterproofing effect is questionable. The door is basically useless, and the windows are almost rotten.
The chimney is a hollow tree, and the yellow mud on the outside has been soaked by the rain, leaving only the rotten wood tube.
The inside of the house is even more miserable. The walls are not load-bearing walls, and they are not built to the top.
It can only be said that the large frame and the foundation are useless.
The Bannermen in the late Qing Dynasty had one. Characteristically, they have a fig leaf, and as long as they don't reveal it, the card will always be there.
Zhao Chuanxin didn't tolerate him, he said cheerfully, "If you are addicted to smoking, let's do this. I'll give it to you." Four silver dollars should be enough for you to smoke a few times. Just sell the house to me and give me the puppy. How about"
