Chapter 18 The opera troupe came to Dan and made an ugly scene
On the day when the rich man set up a banquet, Gou Geng arrived at Gefu, and Ge Guangmu left on the pretext of visiting friends.
When he arrived at the house of the rich man, he gave him a prayer post and a gift, and when the guest saw that it was a visitor from the Gofu, he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly told the rich man.
This rich man wished that he had something to do with Shilin, so he personally greeted him and entertained Ge Guangmu.
Ge Guangmu has not experienced this situation yet, and it is the first time he has been so flattered, but he is a little fluttering.
The rich man asked Ge Guangmu to take a seat, close to the stage, and the troupe invited happened to be the Yuanchun class.
When the head of the class saw Ge Guangmu, he also stepped forward to greet and answer, telling Ge Guangmu that his name was Du Yibei and that he was from the four northern mansions.
Ge Guangmu didn't mean to talk, just politely replied a few words, and then after the birthday star arrived, he began to order drama.
After the play was finished, this Xiaodan got off the stage, did not remove his makeup, knelt down in front of Ge Guangmu and said, "Godfather, you are old." ”
Ge Guangmu never thought that this would happen, and now in front of the public, he was at a loss, he heard the discussion around him, and soon his origin was revealed, he seemed to hear his father's name, and he was ashamed.
"This, this, you get up."
Ge Guangmu looked at Xiao Dan, under the makeup, this Xiao Dan was like a fairy, which made Ge Guangmu can't help but have some thoughts in his heart.
"You kid, really, that's not how you ask your godfather for a reward. Let's get up first, aren't you still worried that your godfather won't even have the money to buy you a robe? ”
When Ge Guangmu heard this, he realized that this was a reward, he had a thin face, and now he could only accept it in a panic.
After Xiao Dan stood up, the class leader spoke: "This Xiao Jiu'er is smart and clever, and he is a good seedling, I can't help but spoil him a little more, causing him to be a little ignorant of the rules, and I ask Young Master Ge to forgive me." ”
"It's okay, it's okay."
The head of the class stood up and hoped that Ge Guangmu would take a step to speak, but Ge Guangmu was naturally unwilling, and finally arrived in the backyard under the persuasion of Gou Geng.
After waiting for Ge Guangmu to sit down, the class leader said to Ge Guangmu: "Young Master Ge, I know that you are a good person, and now I have a reluctant request, please forgive me." ”
It turned out that the master of this class was not easy to mix here, so he was going to Heyang City to find an opportunity, but the Changchun Club over there had not yet practiced, so he didn't dare to rush there with ordinary people, so he asked Ge Guangmu to help take care of it, and when he settled down over there, he was picking up the troupe.
After Ge Guangmu listened, he expressed embarrassment, and at this time, Xiao Jiu looked at Ge Guangmu pitifully, and Ge Guangmu was a little tempted.
Seeing Ge Guangmu's embarrassed appearance, the class owner looked at Gou Geng, how could Gou Geng not understand, and said to Ge Guangmu: "Second brother, they just live temporarily, and they don't live for a long time, and this meal and house money, the class owner will not give, this old saying is convenient for yourself, in this world, how can there be a time when you don't ask for anything, everyone is today you help me, tomorrow I will help you." When it comes to my aunt's birthday, can the class master not come back and sing a few big plays for my aunt lively, so that you can have a long face? ”
Seeing that Gou Geng said this, Ge Guangmu couldn't refuse, so the next step was to count the items, and then bring the people from the troupe to Bichenxuan.
Although this group of people is often like a rich family, it is the first time they have moved in, so they laugh and play.
On the day Du Yibei left, Ge Guangmu learned that Hou Xianggong was looking for him, so he went to the account office.
Hou Xianggong saw Ge Guangmu with tears in his eyes, Ge Guangmu saw this situation, and couldn't help but be curious and asked what was going on.
Hou Xianggong said that his mother was seriously ill, and he wanted to go back to fulfill his filial piety, and he couldn't be this bookkeeper anymore.
After Ge Guangmu heard this, he naturally didn't dare to stop it, and at this time, Hou Xianggong asked Ge Guangmu to find a bookkeeper, and then the two sides checked the accounts and handed over the money and silver clearly.
"Uncle Hou doesn't need to be like this, you have been in my family for many years, and your father can trust you to let you take care of this money, and the younger generations should also believe it."
Hou Xianggong handed over the money to Ge Guangmu in the account room, a total of 1,200 taels, Hou Xianggong told Ge Guangmu that in the spring and autumn seasons, you can enter 300 silver, this matter told the back of the account man, he has an approximate amount, and the account will be calculated later.
Ge Guangmu also took twenty taels to Hou Xianggong, which was regarded as a coil.
Hou Xianggong also told Ge Guangmu that it was enough to leave 1,000 taels of silver for this commonly used use, and if there was more, Wang Zhong could be asked to buy land. No matter how good this silver is, it cannot be eaten as food, and as long as the fields are there, even if there is no silver at home, they will not starve to death.
Ge Guangmu said that he knew, and after Hou Xianggong left, Ge Guangmu saw the white silver, and he was reluctant to look for any account room.
He didn't tell anyone, and spent a day hiding the money in his room.
When he finished his busy work, when he arrived at Bichen Xuan, the originally quiet Bichen Xuan had changed, and the walls of the white flowers that were originally brushed were colorful on it, as for what broke branches and trampled on flowers, it was needless to say, it would be a mess for a rich and noble family in the world.
This one Jingsheng saw Ge Guangmu coming, and said to Ge Guangmu: "Uncle, now that the weather is getting cold, our clothes are thin, which is not good for winter, and I also ask Uncle to help make some winter clothes, this money, our class master will give it." ”
Ge Guangmu is a person who is not familiar with the world, plus he has a thin face, this person begged to come up, he didn't know what to do, so he had to go to Zhang Qingjia to discuss, unfortunately, Zhang Qingjia went to Yi'an Mansion to buy silk, not in Xijingcheng.
Zhang Qing's family was not there, and it was not easy for him to go to Li Gongzi's place, so he could only go to Gou Geng.
After Gou Geng heard this, he was overjoyed and told Ge Guangmu: "Why not be happy with this generosity? Second brother, you are still too pedantic, don't worry about not recognizing it, just let them write a credential at that time. You can leave this matter to me, and I promise to satisfy you. ”
"How much silver does this cost?"
"Let's put it this way, it's about ten taels, but this preparation of silver money, naturally more is better than less, then second brother, you need at least fifteen taels of silver on hand." When Gou Geng said this, he looked at Ge Guangmu's expression, Ge Guangmu only paid a dozen taels of silver when he heard it, and now that he is rich, he naturally doesn't care.
He nodded, and asked Gou Geng to prepare, this Gou Geng immediately went to contact someone, this was originally 600 wen a piece of cloth, but when it came to Gou Geng's hand, it was reported as 800 wen, of which 200 wen, naturally Gou Geng took it himself.
When Ge Guangmu returned home, he was a little frightened, worried that Wang Zhong would find trouble for him, and learned that Wang Zhong went to collect rent the day before yesterday, and it was raining on the road, so he fell ill and is now recuperating at home.
Ge Guangmu couldn't help but feel relieved, but he also asked people to ask if Lang Zhong didn't have it, the servant said please, Ge Guangmu said that the medicine expenses were all counted in the account, and there was no need for Wang Zhong's family to spend money.
In the afternoon, the tailor came, made a set of clothes for these scenes one by one, and then reported the account, a total of more than fifteen taels, of course, the tailor also pretended to be generous, so the fraction is not counted.
When Ge Guangmu went to the silver, Xiao Jiu also followed, and Ge Guangmu did not stop it, this time the altar was opened, Xiao Jiu saw a jar of silver for the first time, only to feel that his eyes were dazzled, and after seeing Ge Guangmu take two ingots, he pestered Ge Guangmu and said: "Godfather, godfather, you promised me the robe, you haven't forgotten it." ”
When Ge Guangmu saw Xiao Jiu like this, he naturally said that he remembered it, so he asked the tailor to prepare a dress for Xiao Jiu again, and this dress cost a full three taels of silver.
When keeping accounts, an old actor said that the fifteen taels of silver could be recognized, but Xiao Jiu's piece was given by Ge Guangmu and should not be recorded in the account.
Ge Guangmu didn't care, so he wrote a voucher of fifteen taels of silver.
They made such a fuss, and the Zhang family also heard about it, so they asked Chunmei to invite Ge Guangmu to come, and after Ge Guangmu asked for peace, the Zhang family asked: "Who is living in Bichen Xuan?" ”
Ge Guangmu told him about it, and Zhang didn't care, but after a while, Zhang heard a shout downstairs: "Godfather, godfather." ”
Zhang couldn't help but look at it, and then said to Ge Guangmu: "It's really funny, this person is not a few years younger than you, and you will be someone else's old man." ”
"This drama is all done and done, and it can't be taken seriously."
"You know, go down. Let them stay in the Bichen Pavilion for the rest of their lives, and your father will be angry if he finds out about this backyard. ”
Ge Guangmu said no, went downstairs, and said to Xiao Jiu, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Come to visit your godmother-in-law and say hello to her."
"Excuse me, excuse me, my mother has always liked to be quiet, if you don't make noise downstairs, even if it's goodbye."
Ge Guangmu took Xiao Jiu to Bichen Xuan, and this Xiao Jiu also deliberately flattered and did everything he could to please Ge Guangmu.
Ge Guangmu has a young heart, and he has long lost the first ring of the three precepts in the book in Java.
It didn't take long for this to buy gold and silver jewelry for Xiao Jiu, spending a lot of silver.
However, this troupe was not raised by him after all, and on this day, Du Yibei asked people to come with a letter, saying that he had settled down there, so he invited him back to his troupe.
Of course, because he has just settled down, there is no extra money, so the house money and meal money will be recorded in the account for the time being, in order to make Ge Guangmu feel at ease, he said that he would leave the props as collateral, and when he came back, he cleared the money and got these things back.
Ge Guangmu was not embarrassed, the silver spent these days was only fifty taels, he didn't care, under the witness of Gou Geng, put these lines into the box, and then wrote the vouchers, and these people left in a carriage.
When they left, Ge Guangmu slowly woke up from the ecstasy array, looking at Bi Zhenxuan's mess, he felt a little ashamed in his heart, and felt a little sorry for his ancestor.
It just so happened that Wang Zhong's illness was also cured, and he came to find Ge Guangmu to thank him, and when he entered Bichen Xuan, when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but tears fell instantly.
"Little Xianggong, this, what's going on?"
Ge Guangmu talked about the matter, and Wang Zhong sighed in his heart, how much can this business be worth, but now that this group of people are gone, they can only stop.
