Chapter 8: The Thief Woman
"Redundant officials and redundant soldiers consume a lot of the court's finances and taxes, although the people of the Great Song Dynasty are still prosperous, but the court is burdened by it, and it is already a little stretched, and it can't come back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
After Tang Yi finished speaking, he stared at the old man for a moment. The heart said, test me? In the era of Lao Tzu's previous life, there was an explosion of information, and if you grabbed a random forum, you could talk about the big Song Dynasty.
"As for the method of seeking change," Tang Yi muttered..... "Then it is not something that a rough person like a kid can come up with." β
"That's enough."
The old man's headless sentence made Tang Yi confused.
"What's enough?"
"It's enough to have such knowledge!" The old man's eyes were full of light, as if he had obtained some immortal treasure.
"Tang Jialang."
The old man's expression was solemn, and he said very solemnly: "Let me ask you, are you willing to abandon business and follow literature, worship me as a teacher, and learn the way of a sage to govern the world?" β
Ga...
Tang Yi almost didn't swallow. This old man is too cute, isn't he? Yesterday, I was just talked about by myself, and I was dizzy, and today you want to accept me as a disciple?
Tang Yi was stunned on the spot, and he didn't react for a while. The old man was not in a hurry, staring intently at Tang Yi to see his reaction.
The old man is really not joking. Yesterday, Tang Yi's shocking words made the old man not reflect on it for a day, and Tang Yi's chiseled words have been roaring in his ears.
It wasn't until the evening that the old man reacted, and what was even more commendable than that remark was Tang Yi. A fourteen-year-old boy who does not know Confucius and Mencius, but has insight into national affairs, if such a talent is carved, it will be worth it.
Tang Yi was also a little confused at this time, and for a while, his head couldn't turn around.
At this time...
"The third Wunama!" The sixth aunt shouted loudly, and rushed into the store with a red face.
Entering the store, the sixth aunt couldn't help but say, pointing at Ma Laosan's nose and scolding.
"The old body really fell for eight lifetimes of bad luck to take over this bad thing from you!"
"His sixth aunt is..."Ma Laosan was stunned when he was scolded. What's going on? β
"What's wrong?" The sixth aunt shook the silk handkerchief, "You say, which girl is not good in your family, so you have to go to Zhang's house to find this bad luck?" β
Tang Yi called the sixth aunt into the door, and looking at her expression, he knew that things were not going well. Now listening to her say this, I am even more certain. hurriedly hugged the old man's hand and sued him, and went to appease the sixth aunt first.
"Auntie to dissipate your anger, you drink saliva to moisten your throat first." Tang Yi brought a tea bowl and poured water for the sixth aunt in person.
The sixth aunt pushed the tea bowl, "What kind of tea?" Get wine for the old man! β
"Wine! Wine! Take the wine! Tang Yi hurriedly responded.
A bowl of light wine was sent to Aunt Liu, who took it and dried it directly in one gulp, her undulating chest and abdomen were slightly calm.
Seeing that the sixth aunt was a little calm, Tang Yi calmly asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?" The Zhang family didn't give you a good face? β
The sixth aunt rolled her eyes and said hatefully: "If it's just that old man, I won't be angry with my old body." It's good to die or not, and I met Mrs. Xu in the south of the city who also came to the door to say yes. β
"Xu Yapo?" Tang Yi was stunned, and couldn't help but glance at Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma.
Isn't this Xu Yapo the one who asked for a bonus first yesterday? Why did the day turn around, and someone asked Xu Yapo to mention the kiss of the Zhang family's little mother?
It turned out that the sixth aunt had not waited to enter in front of Zhang's house, but she saw a mother-in-law wearing red and green walking from the south side, and she was also carrying a live goose towards Zhang's house.
Seeing if it was someone else, it was Mrs. Xu from the east of the city, and the sixth aunt sighed in her heart and secretly screamed that it was not good.
Secretly bitter in my heart: How did I come across this woman?
This Mrs. Xu is famous in Dengzhou, and she is famous for asking for money. And in order to achieve the end, it is always unscrupulous. Not only did the people in the city look down on some of her actions, but even her peers hated her.
Mrs. Xu didn't seem surprised to see Aunt Liu.
"His aunt also came to Zhang's house to ask? But it was a coincidence, and the old body was also entrusted by others, and he wanted to say that he was a hundred years good for Zhang Siniang. But I don't know which Langjun the sixth sister is talking for? β
Mrs. Xu's thickly powdered old face was screwed together with a smile, and she was stunned and scummed, and she was tired of seeing the sixth aunt for a while.
"I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today. The old body will come back another day. The sixth aunt glanced at Mrs. Xu and was about to leave.
It's better to rush to a piece with this thief mother-in-law, it's better to retreat as advance, and when this woman is gone, she will come again.
How could Mrs. Xu let Aunt Six leave like this?
"It's all here, how can the sixth sister leave without going in?" forcibly dragged the sixth aunt into Zhang's house.
Seeing that the two tooth wives came to the door together, Boss Zhang was no longer surprised. Not to mention two, earlier, it was not uncommon for three or four matchmakers to meet together.
Familiarly let the two mothers-in-law in, and after a few words of greeting, Boss Zhang pretended to be deep and prepared to watch the two mothers-in-law perform.
In fact, it is a two-woman performance, it is completely a one-sided one-man show of Xu Yapo.
The two families came to propose at the same time, so it was natural to compare the two sides. Even if Boss Zhang is not a philistine who takes advantage of money, he is not exempt from vulgarity.
But how can it be compared? Mrs. Xu mentioned the second son of Shengping's Qian family, and the sixth aunt mentioned the poor boy of the Ma family. The Qian family has been running a pawn business in Dengzhou for decades, and the family fortune is huge. Not to mention the maid Ma family, even before the Tang family was defeated, it couldn't be compared with others.
Mrs. Xu was eloquent, and Ma Dawei put it there for comparison, so she naturally said that the second son of the Qian family was in the sky and not on the ground. Boss Zhang was really a little tempted for a while.
On the one hand, the sixth aunt was so pressed by Mrs. Xu that she couldn't lift her head, and on the other hand, it was true that the conditions of the Ma family were too poor, and no matter how powerful Boss Zhang was, he didn't want to send his daughter over to suffer.
The sixth aunt naturally returned defeated....
I didn't say it, and I got angry.
.......
"This thief mother-in-law!" After listening to what happened, Tang Yi couldn't help but scold hatefully.
Now even a fool knows what Xu Yapo's idea was yesterday, and why did she have to ask Aunt Ma to take the bonus first.
This thief's mother-in-law is going to eat two families in one bite, and take the entrustment of Ma Dawei and Qian Ergongzi to go to Zhang's house to propose marriage, and when the time comes, degrade one and praise the other. Boss Zhang compares the two, maybe he can really make her say one.
And you don't have to think about it to know that the Qian family runs a pawnshop, which is comparable to a maid like Ma Dawei? Mrs. Xu is ready to step on Ma Dawei to raise the value of Qian Ergongzi, and the chances of success are naturally much greater.
"You said, it's not good for you to find anyone, you have to ask that Mrs. Xu, the thief woman has the most conscience when she sees the money. If you don't make enough money, will you do things in a down-to-earth manner? β
The sixth aunt was already angry, and when she heard that Aunt Ma had found Mrs. Xu's head yesterday, she was even more angry, pointing at Aunt Ma and ridiculing.
"The old body said, why is it so coincidental? I was bumping into the thief. I think she knew that we would go to ask for it today, and deliberately ran into the old body. β
Aunt Ma lowered her head, knowing that she believed the wrong person, and wept silently. Originally, Dawei and Zhang Siniang's relationship was not favored, but now because of his temporary loss, there is no play.
Tang Yi also hated the root of Xu Yapo's hate, but now was not the time to think about this.
"Can the sixth aunt show Uncle Zhang that paperwork?"
"What paperwork?"
"Oh.." The sixth aunt suddenly remembered, took out the piece of paper that Tang Yi gave her before, and said, "You said this?" The thief sneered, the old man couldn't even speak, where could he take care of any paperwork? β
Tang Yi took the paperwork, "Has Boss Zhang ever responded to the Qian family's affairs?" β
The sixth aunt said: "It should be not." But looking at the old man's hesitant appearance, if Mrs. Xu goes to say it twice, it may really be done! β
"It's good if you don't respond!" Tang Yi let out a sigh of relief.
Everyone was stunned, and the sixth aunt was suspicious: "What do you mean?" Da Lang is still not dead? The old body is ugly, and the old body will not suffer this vitality! β
Tang Yi said: "How dare you bother the sixth aunt again, this time the kid will go in person." I still don't believe it, I have to have that Zhang Siniang's surname Ma! β
