Chapter 7 The World Is Fair
Lan'er frowned and looked at the three "henchmen" of Red Sleeves, Tian Xiang, and Xu Erniang, and said with a solemn expression: "Thousands of precautions, the house thief is the most difficult to prevent, but Ah Lang doesn't believe me, we must get dirty and catch that little thief!" โ
Sister Red Sleeves and Sister Tianxiang held the sword and said with their fists in their hands: "Sister Lan'er, don't worry, our sisters have practiced martial arts hard, and finally achieved a little success, as long as you see that little thief, our sisters will definitely tie you up." โ
Xu Erniang said worriedly: "Do you want to tell Ryazan and let him send a few personal guards?" โ
Chen Yingjin is the Duke of Pengcheng County, and now he can have thirty-six armor soldiers, and at this time, the Chen Mansion already has its own armed protection force. Xu Erniang felt that the majestic armor soldiers in the front yard had an inexplicable sense of security.
Lan'er shook her head and said, "Just that little girl, it's not Mr. Liang's turn to make a move, deal with her, a few of us are enough!" โ
After dinner, Xu Erniang, under Lan'er's instructions, supported the cooks and handymen in the kitchen.
At the time of Mo Xiao's half-pillar incense, Gao Wenjin looked around and touched the kitchen, and after a while, his lower abdomen bulged slightly.
However, Gao Wenjin, a little stupid thief, is estimated to be a hand-born, and he didn't find anyone peeping at all, Xu Erniang entered the kitchen and pointed to a braised chicken hanging in a bamboo basket and said: "There is one braised chicken missing, and there is one side of cooked meat and two pieces of bread." โ
Although Red Sleeves was dissatisfied with Gao Wenjin's stealing, when she thought that what she stole was meat, she instantly thought of Gao Wenjin's thin brother, frowned and said, "Didn't she take this meat to her younger brother Gao Huaide to eat?" โ
Lan'er shook her head and said: "Impossible, I've already seen it, today Gao Huaide ate two bowls of rice and a bowl of broth, all of them are full of burps, and his belly is round, if you give it to him to eat, I'm not afraid that he will die!" โ
Xu Erniang said: "Why don't we go together and see who she gives these meats to?" โ
Lan'er nodded and said, "Yes!" โ
Gao Wenjin walked out of Chen's mansion and walked out of the square along the alley to a dilapidated temple in the south alley. This temple is not dedicated to a god with a surname, but the hero ancestor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, this temple is very small, only three low rooms, three rooms in the center, there is a bottle of statue, it looks like an angry staring, sabre-rattling general, but because of too long, the paint on the statue has long been mottled.
This temple called the General's Temple, without a temple blessing, the incense has long been broken, and later it became a place for the homeless to live. However, due to the leaking roof and the wind on all sides, even the homeless people no longer live in this temple.
Gao Wenjin came to the dark general temple and took out a fire fold and a candle less than five inches long from his arms.
Lan'er watched Gao Wenjin enter the General's Temple, and said jealously for a while: "I didn't expect this bean sprout to be loved." โ
The candle emitted a faint glow, and a man lay faintly beneath the idol.
Lan'er couldn't wait to rush in, and when she turned around, through the weak light shining from the temple, she saw Xu Erniang making a silent finger at her.
Lan'er finally stopped struggling and stared through the window lattice to the temple.
Because Gao Wenjin's body was in the way, Lan'er couldn't see who the person in front of the statue was, but judging from the big feet exposed, it should be a man.
Lan'er's teeth rattled, and her body trembled with anger. In Lan'er's eyes, all the women in Chen's mansion, including Xu Erniang, should belong to Chen Ying alone. Unless Chen Ying doesn't like Gao Wenjin and assigns Gao Wenjin to someone else as his wife, Gao Wenjin has absolutely no right to hook up with outsiders.
And he is stealing food from home to raise men outside.
After watching Mo about half a pillar of incense, Lan'er couldn't stand it anymore. She pushed Xu Erniang away hard, rushed into the temple and shouted: "Gao Wenjin, you cheap ......"
The red-sleeved and fragrant two girls choked and pulled out their swords, one left and one right, and stabbed at the man in front of the statue.
It's just that the swords in the hands of the Red Sleeves and Tianxiang sisters can't be pierced at all, and even Lan'er can't scold anymore.
There is indeed a man lying in front of the statue, but this man is a little old, his hair and beard are gray, but this man's hair is like a weed, and he can't see his face clearly, in fact, this is no longer important, such a crippled body, Gao Wenjin can't like such a person unless he is blind.
This man was originally gobbling up braised chicken, but he also stopped at this moment, wiped the fat on the side of his mouth, and asked with a puzzled face: "Jin Niang, who are they?" The maid in the house? โ
Gao Wenjin's face was as frightened as earth, and he quickly knelt down to Lan'er, and stammered: "Sister Lan'er......"
โฆโฆ
"Is it as you want it to be now?" Chen Ying turned his head, looked at Lan'er and said, "Are you going to tie up, or are you going to report to the official?" โ
"Ahh Lan'er muttered, "How can this be? โ
Lan'er told Chen Ying that Gao Wenjin stole a leg of mutton, and said that it is difficult to prevent thieves, who would have thought that Chen Ying and Lan'er would secretly stare at Gao Wenjin, but never thought that Gao Wenjin would steal a leg of mutton and steal chickens, not for himself, but for Gao Shun.
Gao Shun was one of the four orphans adopted by Gao Ying that year, and was given the surname Gao and named Wind, Tune, Rain, and Shun. At the end of Gao Shun, when Gao Ying died, the three of Feng, Tiao, and Yu all committed suicide, but Gao Shun survived.
If such a retainer secretly takes care of him, it is estimated that Gao Wenjin's family will not be able to survive for a long time. When Gao Wenjin remembered that three years ago, Gao Shun returned to Chang'an, and there has been no news since then, who knew that when he was buying household goods, he accidentally found Gao Shun who became a beggar, Gao Shun was beaten and vomited blood, but he had no ability to resist.
Especially looking at Gao Shun's bulging belly, Gao Wenjin realized that Gao Shun had been sick three years ago, but he also had no money for treatment, and he didn't even have the ability to beg.
Gao Wenjin remembered Gao Shun, looked at Gao Shun pitifully, and stole lamb legs and braised chicken from the house for Gao Shun to eat. Because Gao Shun told Gao Wenjin that he was dying and had not eaten meat for more than a year, if he could eat meat before he died, he would have no regrets in his life.
When Gao Wenjin heard this, he didn't think about anything at all, so he tiptoed to the kitchen to steal meat and give it to Gao Shun to eat.
However, because Gao Wenjin was too inexperienced, he was dirty.
Gao Wenjin said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Chen, please, don't report to the official, I'm willing to do anything!" โ
Chen Ying sighed and said, looked at Gao Wenjin and cried into tears, and said lightly: "The monthly case is halved to set an example." โ
"Ahh Gao Wenjin really didn't expect Chen Ying to treat her like this, and treating her like this is almost equivalent to not disposing of her.
A little meat, Chen Ying didn't pay attention to it at all.
Chen Ying sighed secretly, he had to admire the vision of the heavens, who was kind and who was vicious, his old man could see it clearly.
Although Gao Ying is dead, Gao Ying's retainers are actually loyal to Gao Ying and do their best to take care of Gao Ying's descendants, but Gao Ying's descendants are willing to be thieves for the sake of their retainers.
The world is so fair. Only sincerity to sincerity.
The world is fair, and Chen Ying quickly felt such a truth.
Since he was in Weize Pass, Ge Tong has built spring steel according to Chen Ying's intentions. After failing again and again, Ge Tong took his apprentices to trial and error, and scrapped three thousand catties of steel. Three thousand catties of steel is one and a half tons, which is not worth much in later generations, but in this era, it is a large amount.
In this era, iron costs more than a hundred dollars per catty, and steel is three times that of iron. 3,000 catties of steel is equivalent to 9,000 catties of iron, plus carbon and labor costs, in just two months, it is nearly 30 million yuan, even if Chen Ying is not poor, but 30 million yuan has almost emptied Chen Ying's family fund.
Fortunately, it didn't take much effort, and Ge Tong finally succeeded.
Looking at the spring steel in front of him, Chen Ying pressed the spring again and again, and the spring quickly returned repeatedly.
Chen Ying pressed down again, and was bounced back by the spring again, doing it dozens of times, but Chen Ying was happy.
PS: I definitely can't keep the full attendance this month, there is no way, I'm really sorry, there are too many things in the crew, I'll try to write it later, if it doesn't come out at two o'clock, don't wait.
