Dark clouds were gathering outside, and the wind was howling from the sea. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The shopkeeper is organizing guys to nail wooden planks into windows to prevent hurricanes.
Lin Yanchao saw that this wind and waves were not small, he had been in Fuzhou for a long time, and he had to go through one or two typhoons a year, so he was very familiar with this scene.
One of them asked the merchant and asked, "What happened down there?" “
"yes, don't sell it, let's talk about it quickly."
The merchant ha: "I heard that the following is like Liu Ruan entering the rooftop." “
Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and Lin Qianqian also turned his head sideways to Lin Yanchao and asked, "Brother Chao, what is Liu Ruan's rooftop?" “
Lin Qianqian took the blanket and covered his body, looking at Lin Yanchao with an innocent look.
Lin Yanchao smiled maliciously, and then whispered a few words in Lin Qianqian's ear.
But seeing that Lin Qianqian's ears were red, he snorted: "You men are such obscene thoughts all day long." “
Lin Yanchao smiled, reached out and grabbed Lin Qianqian's hand, and the two gently leaned on each other.
Everyone didn't know what Liu Ruan was on the rooftop, and several maritime merchants said a few meat jokes there, and everyone also understood.
The merchant said: "After the fact, in the early morning, the coachman called the door, and then carried the person back to the original place, but did not ask for the fare, this person got this great benefit for no reason." “
After listening to what the merchant said, everyone present was amazed, obviously very envious of this encounter.
But some people also doubted: "How can there be such a good thing, I wait to travel south and north on weekdays, not to mention that I can't meet it, and I haven't heard of it?" “
The merchant smiled and said, "There is a reason for this, but it is not enough to share it with outsiders." “
Everyone saw that there was really another reason for it, and they were all interested, but everyone asked again and again, but the merchant refused to say more.
Of course, some people couldn't help but break the chapter here, and immediately said: "Shopkeeper, bring another three catties of wine, and I will invite this benevolent brother to drink." “
Hearing this, the merchant laughed and said, "This is a hospitality." “
Everyone said, "Don't stop, keep talking." “
The merchant nodded and said: "Actually, I have a friend in this matter, and I have met by chance, and he once described to me in detail what happened that day after drinking. “
Hearing someone come forward to say something, finally everyone was interested.
"The **** was in Jinling, drunk, waiting for his family's car on the side of the road, but he didn't come for a long time, when a car covered with a black cloth happened to pass by, and he mistook it for his own car and got into the car."
When he got out of the car, he found that the Zhumen in front of him was ten heavy, and the dangerous wall was several feet, which was clearly not his own home, and he was about to speak, but the coachman covered his head with a cloth and dragged him hard. At that time, he thought that he had encountered a villain, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to resist, so he let others drag him. “
Later, when he went to a place, he took off his hood and saw that there were carved beams and paintings, and several beautiful maids were waiting for him. My friend asked where this was? The servant girl smiled and said, "Why did you come here willingly?" A moment later, another beauty came out, but it was too beautiful to be like a mortal. Beauty, this is not so-and-so. The maidservant said, this is all a mistake of so-and-so. Beauty is humane, and it will be done. Then the maidservant pushed him in, and not only served him good wine and meat, but also served him to bathe and change clothes with the beauty. “
Hearing this, everyone in the inn sighed, envious of this friend's good fortune.
Then my friend woke up, and was not at all puzzled by the matter, and when he saw that the beauty was already asleep, he went to the house and searched for it, and occasionally found a seal, and then hid it in his sleeve. The next day, the coachman sent him away, and then he took the seal to see that it was actually used by a certain servant in Jinling City. My friend was so frightened that it was only a few years later that the squire died of illness before he dared to tell me about it. “
Everyone listened to the ins and outs of each other's words, and they were all amazed.
The latter said: "I understand, it is the only daughter of the squire's family, and he refuses to recruit a son-in-law, so he thinks of this way." “
Some people also said with a smile: "Why don't you talk about the daughter of the waiter, and the boudoir is lonely." “
"It's all wrong, I think it's the son-in-law who can't do it, and his daughter-in-law has to ask for help."
Speaking of this, everyone clapped their hands and laughed, and nodded their heads as if they had found out the truth.
Lin Yanchao was also funny when he listened to it, this story has a lot of flaws, and the content is also very absurd, it sounds like a small advertisement plastered on every street, a certain noblewoman, who invested millions and borrowed crystals to give birth to children.
Such methods have long been left over from the ancients.
At this time, one person said: "Everyone is envious of this matter, but I think it is a lie, you see what if there are villains who pretend to be in this name, kidnap people, and ask for ransom?" “
Another person said: "Yes, want to come to the headless unjust case of business travel back and forth in the province recently?" Everyone should be careful, don't be greedy for this glamorous blessing. “
A few people said: "Yes, I have heard about this headless case!" “
Lin Yanchao was moved from the bottom of his heart when he heard this, and asked others, "What's going on?" “
This person is a maritime businessman, and he is most unaccustomed to a scholar like Lin Yanchao, so he said disdainfully at the moment: "What do you have to say?" Unless you give me three taels of silver, I will tell the reason, otherwise on the way... “
"Shut up!" An old man shouted, "Everyone is on the road, how can you curse people with evil words?" “
At that moment, the old man said to Lin Yanchao: "This little brother, you don't have to take it to the bottom of your heart, but this matter is not chasing the wind or catching shadows, in the past few years, I have passed by this place and complained to the yamen of many such unjust cases." “
Lin Yanchao asked: "Ask the old man, what kind of unjust case is this?" “
The old man's parents sighed and said: "It is said that they are traveling together, alone or several people traveling together, from the land to the north or south, thousands of miles but disappeared for no reason, there is no news, this case has accumulated in the state and county, I don't know how much, the initial Yamen also sent a disc to investigate, but there are more and more such cases, and the Yamen gradually does not ask." Over the years, old cases have accumulated, and I have heard that no less than 100 people have gone missing, and there are not many others who have not been reported to the government. “
Hearing the old man's words, everyone in the inn was also shocked.
An offspring suddenly smiled and said: "Don't listen to this old man scare you, I think these hundreds of people may have been recruited by the beautiful official lady to ask for a child, and then they couldn't bear to go home, and by the way, they became a couple, and they all lived a good life." “
The old man reprimanded: "You also believe this kind of nonsense, where are there so many official ladies who ask for children, and even if there is such a thing, these merchants are all old mothers, wives and children, and they just abandon their families for a moment of pleasure?" “
This posterity couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard it, and explained: "That's what I said, when the eldest brother said it, why didn't you object, I said that you disdain." “
The merchant laughed twice just now, but he didn't dare to answer. (To be continued.) )
