Section 16 Absurd Baylor (3)

Chapter 16 Absurd Baylor (3)

Although it was a secret conversation between couples, there were always ears to the walls. The "strange news" of the Zhaokui family quickly spread among relatives and friends. Some cursed, some laughed, some thought Zhaokui was pitiful, and some thought that Grandma Kui was wronged when marrying Zhaokui. No wonder there was such a result. It was different in opinion and had different opinions, but it was just a matter of right and wrong behind the scenes. There were taboos in front of Zhaokui. In the past, some people expressed concern to him: " Grandma Kui always has a whereabouts!" Now they don't even mention this sentence.

The only exception is Zhao Kui's younger brother Zhao Run. The two brothers were born to one mother, but their temperaments were different. Zhao Kui was cowardly and afraid of things, but Zhao Run got the wind and rain, and he liked to cause trouble the most. He was always considered a scoundrel in the royal family, but he relied on his "yellow belt" of the "third-class general" to set up a fraud, shelter prostitutes and gambling, and did everything. He heard that there were such strange things, how could he be speechless?

When Zhao Kui saw his younger brother, his head hurt. There was no good thing when he came. If he had money, he would do it himself if he didn't. He would always make a small decoration or two. So the Zhao Kui family's mother was listening to the "Second Master" who came and was always serving him.

"You don't have to pick me up today. Second Master, I am very rich today!" Zhao Run took out a handful of money and threw it on the table. "You invite the uncle out. We brothers want to say a few serious words that you can't listen to."

"Yes! Second Master."

The poor man was tactful and went in to inform Zhaokui. Then they all retreated, but they all hid in the corner of the wall outside the window. They wanted to hear what the second master said seriously?

"Brother," Zhao Run asked, "I heard that my sister-in-law is back?"

"Oh!" Zhao Kui shook his hand, "Don't mention it. You should be polite to me! Don't ask about this."

"How can I not ask? Can our family be bullied so much? You don't care, my face is put there? Calculate seniority, Zai Cheng is the nephew, who dominates his aunt, which is the rule of the Qing Dynasty? If you attack the title, you have to protect your family's reputation. There must be a saying...,"

"Second, second!" Zhao Kui was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, "Don't yell, okay?"

"You are too weak, brother! You can't even say it?"

"It's not that I can't say it. This matter is really..." Zhao Kui lowered his voice and said with great difficulty: "It's really a mistake! A gentleman doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, take it slowly and find a way."

"Why do you think slowly? There are many ways to do it, both literary and martial. Let's go!" Zhao Run pulled his arm out.

"Go? Go there? Don't mess around."

"Shangzong Ren Mansion."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Kui had already broken free from his arm and quickly took a few steps back, separated from Zhao Run by the table, and acted as a warning to prevent him from catching him.

"Second, it's useless! What kind of world is this? The power cannot beat others, so I can only accept it. Besides, you don't have to call her sister-in-law such a cheap woman." As he said that, Zhao Kui shook his head and turned his face away, feeling heartbroken.

"Brother," Zhao Run's face looked ugly, "What's wrong with you? Why are you? There's always a reason! Tell me. If you don't explain it clearly, I'll follow my methods."

"This," Zhao Kui asked in panic and confused: "What are your methods?"

"Here! This." Zhao Run pulled out a handful of swaying scattered from the boot page, seven or eight inches long, tied with red silk, and threw it onto the table.

Zhao Kui was shocked, "Second," he stammered, "You can't move!"

"Who can't tell me to move? Look at me singing "Lion Tower"."

Zhao Kui was anxious and angry. Zhao Run thought of Wu Song himself, but compared him to Wu Dalang, it was really unspeakable! But when he saw his brother, he was afraid, so he was conscious of being short-sighted and didn't know how to deal with it. He was so anxious that he just rubbed his hands.

So Hao Shun, the old servant of his capable housekeeper, had to show up, "Second Master!" he bowed and said, "It's time to eat! If you have something to say, drink wine and chat with the uncle slowly!"

This is a delaying strategy. Zhao Run also knew that every time he failed to solve the problem, even Grandma Kui couldn't control it. When she was about to turn against her, Hao Shun always came out and turned around. With him, it would be easier to say.

"Okay!" Zhao Run put the pill back into her boots, and withdrew her sword, she looked tense, as if she could not help but say, "Eat first."

Before the meal was about to start, Hao Shun took care of the chef, made a few cold dishes and a pot of wine, but only set up a pair of chopsticks. Zhao Run was naturally about to speak.

"Where is the uncle?"

"Uncle has a headache, I can't accompany you." Hao Shun said with a smile: "The second master has something to say, so the same is true for me."

Zhao Run pondered and didn't answer, drinking in big mouthfuls, because he had to speak with great caution.

"Second Master," Hao Shun advised, "The uncle was so meant to be so cruel that he was called 'The mute dreamed of his mother, and it was indescribable.' It would be better for the second master to always understand him."

"Hmph," Zhao Run angrily threw the wine glass, "It's just because the uncle is cowardly that such a coward is happening. If he doesn't have to stand up, I will support him. I will kill and cut him. What else is he afraid of? He keeps stopping me, I don't know what he wants to be?"

"That's nothing more than the timid man. If he could watch the second master cause a big disaster, what kind of compatriots are he called?"

"Comrades and siblings?" Zhao Run curled his lips, "Where is my comprades and siblings? What he said outside is so unpleasant."

"What do you say outside?" Hao Shun asked cautiously.

"How do you say it, you don't know?"

"I really don't know."

"Then let me tell you!" Zhao Run looked at Hao Shun and said word by word: "Say he sells his wife!"

"Ah!" Hao Shun looked extremely surprised, "Is this the one who hits him?"

"Don't you believe it, right?" Zhao Run intended to cheat him. "The person who said it was based on evidence. The big grandmother brought back three thousand taels of silver notes and the money from Hengtai Money House in Dashilan."

Zhao Run knew it was one thousand taels, so he deliberately added two thousand, hoping to get Hao Shun's words: "Not that much." He followed him and asked. Unexpectedly, Hao Shun was very scheming and didn't fall for him. He just shook his head and said, "Things about the shadowless!"

"What's wrong with Ying'er? As of this, the big grandmother was occupied for nothing?" Zhao Run then asked again: "She suddenly went home, but why did she do it?"

"This," Hao Shun smiled, "we are now humans, don't know!"

"That's all! You don't know a lot of things, so you have to talk to the old man. Okay, I've decided to do it anyway. The door style is important, I can't ignore it." As he said that, he stood up and wanted to leave. Hao Shun naturally couldn't let him go. He kept him and went into the room to ask Zhaokui for advice.

"What's my idea?" Zhao Kui said with a sad face, "As soon as I saw him, my head was as big as a fence."

Hao Shun was his confidant, and he did not participate in anything and could not say anything. However, no matter what, he had to do things in the name of his master, so he first took the purpose for Zhaokui.

"For this matter, the old man has to hold his purpose and can't help but feel relieved. One is that his reputation is not good, and the second master is not very good. But he has to give him a hope. After waiting for the time of taking office, it's okay to give him a few hundred silver. Uncle, do you think so?"

"Yes! Just think of a way to say this to him."

This is really hard to say. Hao Shun was thinking that the second master probably only knew one of the silver bills, but he didn't know that there was a second lack of it. One thing he said would reveal the bottom of the bottom. With such great benefits, he was even more reluctant to give up. After thinking about it, he could only talk about it like this: "Second Master, please keep calm first. Of course, things can't be done like this, but you must always be stable in doing things. The opponent is too difficult to mess with, and you can't make a mistake. Anyway, there is ten days and half a month to make the second master calm."

According to Hao Shun's idea, it was not a matter of one sentence to the position of the deputy governor, as long as Cheng Beile was a strong backer. In ten days and half a month, everything would be easy to deal with when he saw the emperor. Therefore, Zhaorun was promised in this way.

Zhao Run didn't know that there was such twists and turns, but he always trusted Hao Shun. Since he said that he could 'relieve himself', Gu Nian would have to ask him for something in the future, so he would have a friendship with him.

"Okay, I'll wait for you for ten days and half a month."

Half a month passed, and there was no news. Grandma Kui brought the words, but Zai Cheng couldn't do it. He had no choice but to ask Yishan for this matter. In order to achieve his ambition, he specifically said that he had "had agreed to others!"

"My uncle, you are really a young man! The deputy governor of the garrison is Guangzhou again. Can you change it if you say it?" Yishan shook his head: "Zhao Kui is famously useless. How can I say this to the prince and the emperor?"

"I don't care!" Zai Cheng said as if he was silly: "You go and find a way."

"There is a solution. I will tell you what you are doing. If you are willing to be beaten up, Zhaokui's deputy governor will be taken." Yishan said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

What is this? Zai Cheng naturally refused. Yishan couldn't be worn out and agreed to give it a try, but he didn't know if he could succeed that day.

"I have to wait!" Grandma Kui had to say helplessly after hearing this.

After waiting for another half a month, Grandma Kui was about to take Xiaoyun to the front door to listen to the opera, but saw a person flashing in from the yard and shouting loudly: "Sister-in-law!" Then she invited Shuang'an.

"Ah!" Grandma Kui felt a little embarrassed, "Second brother, it's you!"

"Yes." Zhao Run said calmly, "I'm here to pay my respects to my sister-in-law."

"I dare not take it, I dare not take it!" Grandma Kui had to treat her with courtesy, "Please sit in the room. Xiaoyun, take tea and cigarettes."

So Zhao Run calmly entered the main hall, sat down and looked around, with antique calligraphy and paintings, curtains and chairs, and exquisite colors, and then praised: "What a great place!"

Grandma Kui smiled reservedly, thinking about how to send this uninvited guest away early.

Zhao Run's words were not finished yet, and then he said: "No wonder my sister-in-law doesn't want to go home."

This sentence was unpleasant, and Grandma Kui could only pretend not to hear it, but she felt that he had left early and got better, so she asked straight to the point: "Second brother, is there anything wrong?"

"No, no! I just haven't seen my sister-in-law, I'm so worried about it. I'm here to take a look."

"Thank you for thinking about it." She chased after her again: "If there is something wrong with me, please tell me! You don't have to be polite to me."

The last sentence is a false expression of the word, so Zhao Run doesn't have to pretend to be hypocritical and said with a bitter face: "Isn't that word yet?"

"That word?"

"Poor!" Zhao Run said again: "My sister-in-law is sick again. Miss San has a rash. Miss Si falls into the ditch in front of the door and almost drowns. Oh, I won't get any bad luck."

"Oh!" Grandma Kui said slowly, "I'm not rich. However, my second brother came from afar, and I can't let you go back empty-handed." As he said that, he untied the handwrap in his hand, including two silver notes, one ten taels and one five taels. He wanted to give him five taels, but Zhao Run said it first.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, don't give it all, just give me ten taels!"

Grandma Kui was both angry and funny, and said in her heart: I really thought I was pretty good, so I gave it all! However, Zhang Wuliangtou couldn't take it anymore. From this, Zhaorun had to come here after three or five days. He was really willing to do it and always wait for Zaicheng to come when he was not at home. Because the guards did not take the order of the master and did not listen to Grandma Kui's words, it was inconvenient to stop him, so he could find the "sister-in-law" every time and stretched out his hand, and he always had a lot of money, but the amount of money was getting smaller and smaller, of course it was conceivable.
