Chapter 68 Loyalty First
As the sun sets, there is only a trace of setting sun in the sky, the red sunset is reflected, and the sky is high and the earth is wide and the fields are green, adding a bit of peace and freedom in the countryside to this dinner with heaven and earth.
Just as the table of food and food was eating, a young man in a long gown with a schoolbag hurried over under the sunset, carrying a small paper bag in his hand.
"Hey, Brother Shui is back!" Ermao, who was sharp-eyed, greeted with a smile.
"Haha, our scholar from Maowan Village is back. Although it's late, I still caught up with this sumptuous supper!" Yang Dahu smiled and put down his wine glass.
"Come here!" Yang Dayuan also put down his chopsticks and glasses to wave.
"Dad, Uncle Thirteen, Grandpa Liu, Ermao, Brother Ermao, Brother Qi..." Yang Zhishui, who was gentle and kind, came over and said hello one by one with a little restrained attitude, and then walked to Chen Ji and the other with some anxiety and saluted respectfully, "A later student Yang Zhishui greeted Mr. Chen and Mr. Yao!"
"We are all my family, why should we be so polite!" Zhao Qi stood up with a smile, "Sit down and have a meal quickly, and learn some experience of taking the college entrance examination with your two brothers. Maybe you will be able to take the Zhongxian School this year!"
"Brother Zhao is so proud of me!" Chen Ji and Yao Ran quickly waved their hands modestly.
"Brother Qi, what's going on?" Yang Dayuan was a little confused by Zhao Qi's words.
"Haha, that's right. Today I met Brother Chen and Brother Yao in the town. I asked them to teach Brother Shui to teach some rules and key points of the college entrance examination. After the autumn, Brother Qi was going to the county town to take the county school entrance exam? Two juren helped to give lectures. I think Brother Qi would be more confident!" Zhao Qi explained with a smile.
"This...this is too...this..." Yang Dayuan opened his mouth as if he had not woken up and his mind was blank.
Everyone on the table was surprised and looked at Zhao Qi. After a while, Grandpa Liu slapped the table and said loudly: "Look, Brother Qi is different from us. For Brother Shui's exam, he even invited the juren home to give advice. This is a great kindness. He can't even invite him to burn incense and worship Buddha. Why are you so sad? Kowtow!"
"Yes, it's true that you should kowtow. One day, you will be a teacher for life and a father. Two juren taught me. Brother Shui will definitely be in high school this year!" Yang Dahu also came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly.
Yang Dayuan finally woke up at this time, stood up and pressed his son to kneel down, but Chen Ji and Yao Ran held his arms at the same time.
"You don't need to do this. Although we are the students and have read a few more days, this spring exam has failed. Besides, we and Brother Zhao fell into the same state at first sight. How could our peers receive the ceremony of kneeling down? There are still two days left, so we will definitely teach the water well. If the water has a harvest, it will not be in vain for the Zhongxian School in the future!" Chen Ji spoke seriously.
"Uncle Dayuan doesn't have to be so polite. It's better to meet him by chance than to invite him. This is a rare opportunity for Brother Shui. Don't do these stupid and complicated red tape. Listen carefully for one or two days. When you pass the exam, you will prepare another gift to thank the two brothers. If you fail, continue to work hard next year. I believe Brother Shui will definitely pass the exam. Maybe a juren will be released in our Maowan Village in the future!" Zhao Qi also stopped Yang Dayuan with a smile and said.
"Okay, everything is up to your arrangement!" Yang Dayuan nodded excitedly.
After a simple greeting, Zhao Qi went in and served Yang Zhishui a bowl of rice. Yang Zhishui was originally quite resistant to the remaining soup, but after slaughtering a few bites of the food, he instantly abandoned all the resistance in his heart. He buried his head and almost never raised it up. He refused everyone from the meat soup and food, and ate it voraciously.
Zhao Qi and others were already almost full of wine and food. After accompanying Yang Zhishui to have supper, Yang Dayuan took Chen Ji and Yao Ran home to teach his son.
Xiaozhu, who had already finished her meal, was kind enough to clean up the dishes.
Zhao Qi was pulled to the edge of the pond on the edge of the empty ground by Yang Dahu and Ermao Ermazi.
"Brother Qi, I heard from Dayuan that you have negotiated the price with the second young master of the Lu family. Can you give us a clear idea? How much is it?" Yang Dahu asked in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, Brother Qi will reveal it to us. Brother Dayuan didn't say it. We were all so anxious that we were itchy!" Ermazi and Ermao also nodded and urged together.
"Then how much do you think is appropriate? The second young master did not give a clear letter, so he went back to discuss with Mr. Lu!" Zhao Qi asked with a smile.
"Of course, the more the better. Seven or eight hundred guan is not too little, and two or three thousand guan is not too much. Anyway, the glass repair technology is useless to keep us, and it will not be money!" Ermazi said excitedly.
"That's right, even if there are only seven or eight hundred guan, each of us can share the money for free, and the money for helping for a few years." Ermao couldn't help but nodded in excitement.
"Then don't worry, just think about it too much, it will only be more or less. But I hope you can figure out the money clearly whether it is used to make a fortune in business and business, or to share it with food, drink, and gambling. But if you make it clear, you can only choose the same one!" Zhao Qi looked at the three of them seriously.
"This..." Ermao and Ermazi both became melancholy.
"Brother Qi is right. If you share the money, you will make arrangements in the future. Don't mention this matter if you spend it all. If you do business together, you must follow Brother Qi's arrangements. You can make money together in the future and bear the losses together. Don't make trouble later!" Yang Dahu was much older, and seemed to have discussed some privately with Yang Dahu, so he tended to invest and do business with a sum of money.
"Yes, I want to remind you that once the glass repair technology is sold to the Lu family, the matter will be rotten in the stomach in the future. You cannot reveal any method of glass repair to outsiders. Otherwise, the Lu family will pursue it and ask us to spit out the money. Then the bamboo basket will be useless!" Zhao Qi reminded.
"Don't worry, I have to keep my word after taking the money. Besides, Ermao and I didn't see it when we were repairing the glass. We promise we won't talk nonsense everywhere!" Ermazi nodded quickly.
"That's good. The Lu family is powerful and we can't twist our arms. Also, if someone from the Lu family comes to you inquire about glass repair in the past two days, don't agree no matter how much you pay. Remember?" Zhao Qi reminded again.
"If someone from the Lu family comes to ask, we will not say a word. We will never let him pick up this cheaper. We must slaughter them hard. We have been working hard for the Lu family over the years. A broken glass jar from a dog will drive us away. We want us to pay for it. It's really not a fucking thing, cough~ bah~" Ermao spat on the ground.
"Yes, the most important thing in life is loyalty. If anyone can't get money for his own selfishness, don't blame me Yang Dahu for being polite!" Yang Dahu stroked his arms, revealing his dark, furry arms, and said viciously.
"Don't worry, Brother Dahu, all the heroes in Liangshan Riverside are all loyal first. We also talk about the word "righteousness" in the dock. We will not betray everyone if you have money or not. But Brother Dahu, I would like to remind you, the people in your blacksmith shop should also be optimistic!" Ermazi and Ermao patted their chests together.
"I have strictly advised the people in the blacksmith shop. No one is allowed to leave these days. By the way, what's the Liu Dong you are talking about? You can't let go of such a person easily. You have to beat him up to relieve your anger!" Yang Dahu asked.
"Don't worry, Liu Dong's bastard was kicked out of the Lu family's business today. I heard that I cried all the time. I had arranged someone to stay near his house and stared at him. I was going to beat him tonight and his parents couldn't recognize him!" Ermazi rolled up his sleeves viciously and said.
"Don't touch him these two days. Let's talk about it until we discuss with the Lu family and get the money. Anyway, his home is in Yanggong Town, so he can't escape!" Zhao Qi shook his head.
