Chapter 48 048: Waiting for your three taels of silver
The young man went downstairs suddenly, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure disappearing from his sight
That was not the suspected Gong Cheng’s wife and brother. Xiaolangjun?
Why did this person leave now?
The young man called a servant to ask what was going on and what was the purpose of Shen Tang's stay in Yuehua Building. Unexpectedly, the servant replied with envy: "You mean that little lady? She came to redeem her. Aweng’s is Lao Chu who works in the kitchen. He is so filial.”
Hearing this, the young man lowered his eyelids and looked thoughtful.
“Who is Lao Chu you are talking about?”
Since he is the heir of the Shen family, even if Aweng was killed by the guillotine, how could he do odd jobs in the kitchen of Yuehua Building? ?
There are already many doubts about this person. At this time, he still doesn’t forget to hire a servant. What is he going to do with an elderly handyman?
The young man's eyes darkened slightly, and his thoughts turned over a million times.
He is careful and suspicious, so he will not let it go.
"This... I've only been here for three months, so I don't know much about it. I just know that Lao Chu works in the kitchen and is a weirdo who talks little."
Can't answer, young man Don't embarrass him.
"Call your chief here."
Outside Yuehua Tower.
Mr. Chu held a shabby package in his arms and looked at the deserted street with a calm expression. Shen Tang stood aside and said nothing.
The shopkeeper deliberately gave the space to the "grandfather and grandson" who have been separated for many years to reminisce about the past. In addition, it is daytime, so even in the crowded Goulanwashe, there should be no danger. So he said goodbye with peace of mind and went back to look at the store and get busy with business.
Watching the shopkeeper leave, Shen Tang raised his head and glanced at Mr. Chu, who still had the same expression. She opened her mouth, worried about finding a topic to break the awkward atmosphere, when her own scooter trotted forward with the reins in its mouth, and nuzzled its head into her arms.
Shen Tang took it subconsciously.
She thought of how to find a topic.
"Mr. Chu, it's still a long way back, why don't you get on... the back of a mule first?" She wanted to say "on the back of a horse," but no matter how tall and beautiful her motorcycle was, it was still a mule, not a horse.
You can’t refer to a mule as a horse...
“Mr. Chu?” Sir wake up.
He glanced at the motorcycle, which was looking at him.
He then looked at the young man, who was not as tall as his chest and was also the new head of the family. The head of the family was also looking at him.
Being stared at by the man and the mule with the same eyes, he felt a little subtle. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."
Shen Tang: "..."< br>
He called himself "slave", but his temperament and the look in his eyes were incompatible with this claim. It was very inconsistent with him, and she felt uncomfortable no matter what he heard. So he waved his hand and said: "Mr. Chu, there is no need for this 'slave'. You can call yourself by your first name or a given name."
Mr. Chu was startled when he heard this, but he did not refute anything. , I just went with the flow and responded.
"Yes."
"Then what is your name? My surname is Shen, and my courtesy name is Youli. I come from a family..." Exchanging names is one of the signs of getting closer to each other. Shen Tang followed the standard of self-introduction. Ga Ge opened his mouth and paused when he mentioned the ranking——
Who is your original family member?
Forget it, I can’t remember it for the moment, it’s not important.
She made up a random number.
"Xing Wu, you can call me Wu Lang."
If you call her Wu Niangzi, she will have no objection.
It’s just——
A beautiful girl is often mistaken for a handsome man. There is something wrong with the eyes of the indigenous people in this world. Mr. Chu said: "Chu, Chu Yao, the word is Wuhui."
"Chu Yao? What a good name. 'The banners are disturbed by the clouds, and the sharp blades are scattered in the forest. Yang Hui spits fire, and the fields of rays cover the lake'. Yao means yao, and the rays are bright, and the word is 'Wuhui', which means there is no darkness and no darkness. , The meaning is very good." Shen Tang habitually gave a wave of business praise and swallowed his complaints.
Blessings are good, as are names and words. Unfortunately, reality and blessings are often contrary to each other. The person who named him hoped that his life would be "bright and bright, without any darkness or obscurity". As a result, he was bought to wash dishes in the kitchen at an early age, and he seemed to have been crippled and lost his literary spirit.
Oh, it’s simply miserable.
She brought up old things again and pointed at the motorcycle with innocent eyes: "Sir, do you want to ride it? The motorcycle is very good and the ride is not bumpy."
Chu Yao took the motorcycle from Shen Tang. the reins, and his eyes signaled her to get on the mule's back. After she sat firmly, she said quietly: "There is no way the master walks and the servant rides. This is against the rules."
Shen Tang muttered: "How can there be so many rules..."
She bought Lao Chu back to take over Qi Shan's job of "guiding NPCs". She really had no intention of letting the elderly man take care of her. What's more, this person will also play the role of "half master" in the future.
Chu Yao said: "It's different."
Shen Tang was confused: "What's different?"
Respecting the old and loving the young is the same everywhere.
Chu Yao held the reins in one hand and his old parcel in the other, and walked towards the street. Instead of answering "What's different?", he asked a somewhat strange question.
"How much money did Wulang spend to buy him?"
This is asking how much money was spent to buy him?
Shen Tang looked hesitant: "Although, I should have taken into account my husband's mood and quoted a higher price, but this is not honest... The principal originally planned to bid five taels, but he misunderstood the relationship between you and me, thinking that We, grandson and grandson, took the initiative to reduce the price by two taels out of sympathy."
Unknown to her, Chu Yao, who was turning his back to her, had a strange expression on his face for a moment, which seemed to be doubtful and struggling, complicated and incomprehensible. , and there was no response from her for a long time. Shen Tang was wondering if he was ignoring people, but she heard him murmur: "So... it's three liang?"
Shen Tang: "..."
Five minus two equals three...
Is this math problem so difficult?
Have you been hesitating for so long?
Be confident, it’s just three or two!
"Yes, three taels, the calculation should be correct..." Shen Tang clapped his fingers, convinced that he had calculated correctly, and then doubted whether he had found the wrong person - he had to hesitate again and again for an arithmetic question of this level. , Mr. Chu is really as awesome as Qi Shan said?
Or, is it up to her to pray for good?
So Shen Tang asked a question that he had been holding back for a long time.
"Yuanliang said before that you are talented. A talented person, even if you are in a trough, can always find a way to make your life better. Why doesn't your husband redeem himself? Or can't he redeem himself?"
Although livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep are sold cheaply, no matter how cheap they are, they still cost money to buy. Many ordinary people cannot afford to eat them. It can be seen that Chu Yao lived in poverty but did not have no income.
After working in the kitchen of Yuehua Building in Xiaocheng for so many years, he never thought about finding a part-time job to earn a little money to redeem himself?
He is educated and capable, and is more popular than ordinary people wherever he goes, so Shen Tang is puzzled.
"Before the Xin Kingdom was destroyed, a sinner like me could not redeem myself."
"But the Xin Kingdom has been destroyed."
This rule is naturally invalidated.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yao said something that was puzzling to her.
“It’s not that I don’t want to, but it’s not that I can’t.”
“Huh?”
In that case, why don’t you take action?
Chu Yao smiled inexplicably and helplessly, sighing with a hint of resignation that Shen Tang couldn't figure out, and the next sentence succeeded in making her confused and full of questions.
He said: "I'm waiting for Wulang's three taels of silver."
The monthly ticket is 868. Let's get a few more to make up a thousand. Next month, I can draw an extra 100 yuan in prizes
PS: It’s getting closer and closer to the release of 9.1, so I’m a little excited. Regarding the additional updates and monthly ticket rewards for new books in the first month after they are put on the shelves, what are the current market standards?
