The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 154 Chapter 140

After returning to the main room, Duan Wuji said to his parents: "Father, mother, you can rest, I went back to the house to practice, you don't have to work too hard, I sent the Stove Lord to rest earlier.

Tomorrow is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, 24th, house cleaning day, tomorrow our house will be cleaned early, brother, you can direct the long-term workers to do these tasks tomorrow, it is best to subcontract these tasks to them, so that it will save you worry.

In case we have guests at our house tomorrow, our house won't be too embarrassed by then. "

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Wuji, you go, you are in charge of the affairs here, your brother and I will take care of the affairs here."

Duan Wuji yawned and went back to his west wing room.

Duan Changsheng looked at his father and said, "Father, why are you always chasing dicks for everything?"

Duan Yanqing looked at his eldest son and said with a smile: "Longevity? In fact, father is looking for you!

Have you ever thought about it, if your brother separates from you now, not to mention your development in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat well, right?

Longevity, although you are the eldest son, do you think you can surpass your brother in terms of managing the family or earning money?If you say yes tonight, we will separate tomorrow, don't be so awkward in your heart! "

Duan Changsheng lowered his head when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "Father, I can't compare to him. He earns 10,000+ taels of silver this year. Where can I earn so much money!"

"Still, since you can't compare to him, and your brother has never rejected you, why are you looking for trouble? Do you think our family eats too much meat? You want to eat a little bit, Do you want to wear something ragged? Really."

After hearing this, Duan Changsheng said in a low voice: "Look at my mother, I slapped him twice tonight, look at how nice my mother is."

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing sneered and said: "Changsheng! You bastard, can't you see it? Your mother cares about him. Do you think your mother really hit him?

It's because your mother loves him and he doesn't know what to do. That's called beating is liking, scolding is love, and if it's rare, kick it.

In fact, your mother is partial!
You blind thing can't even see this?

well!I can't blame your brother for saying that your book was read for nothing. "

Liu Caihua looked at Duan Changsheng and said: "Changsheng, you are the eldest son of mother. Now you just look at your father for everything, and you don't know when you will grow up. You are too old and young, and you are too lethargic." Mother is disappointed.

Today I tell you clearly, if you are full and make trouble again, you will get out of this house.

I didn't expect that I gave birth to such a useless thing like you. You are neither like your father nor your mother, and you don't know what useless things are in your mind all day long. You are so embarrassing disappointed. "

After hearing what his mother said, Duan Changsheng immediately lowered his head in shame and stopped talking.

Duan Yanqing glanced at Duan Changsheng and said with a smile: "How is it? Changsheng, do you know what your mother really thinks? Go, go to sleep, go back and think about it, and reflect on yourself.

Don't make us worry about you anymore. "

Duan Changsheng left the main room with a blushing face and lowered his head, and went back to his room.

Duan Yanqing stood up, looked at Liucaihua and said, "Master Nei, go to sleep, I'll go and see the four sheep butchers, I'll come back to rest later."

When Duan Yanqing walked out of the house, he saw that the four of them had already finished their work, and they were cleaning up the place right now.

When Duan Yanqing saw it, he said: "It will be finished in a while, so you can go home and have a rest early. Aren't the pigs and sheep's water and water Wuji all given to you? You can take them home and cook for the New Year. We will clean the house tomorrow. You should come here sooner.

We finished our work early and we can go home and help the family for a while. Is it almost Chinese New Year? Every household is very busy. "

The four regular workers hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my old boss, we will definitely come to work early tomorrow. Don't worry about your old man."

Duan Yanqing smiled and said: "We are not much different in age. Didn't we often play together when we were young? Why did I become an old man? Are you kidding me?"

"Oh, old master, how dare we compare with you now! Your family is a rich man, and our family is so poor that we can hardly get rid of it. If your old man crooked his mouth, it is almost the same as whether our family will not starve to death. This is related to age. What does it matter?"

Duan Yanqing was speechless after hearing this, so he could only sigh and say: "Oh, there is really no way! This is fate!"

The four long-term workers put all the slaughtered pork and pig's head into the kitchen of the main house, and carried a few pieces of mutton into it, and then carried the blood basin and carried the water that was equally divided among several people and went home.

In the morning of the next day, the four long-term workers came over just after dawn. The four of them didn't need anyone to tell them to start cleaning the yard first.

After Duan Wuji got up, he found that the entire yard was almost finished cleaning.

Duan Wuji didn't even take a look, and ran out of the village in a hurry. Duan Wuji ran for more than [-] miles, and when he felt that he was almost done, he ran back. When he ran home, Duan Wuji Sweat also came out of the head.

At this time the sun had already risen, Duan Wuji pushed open the door of the west wing and saw four long-term workers cleaning and tidying up the house for him.Duan Wuji hastily retreated from the room again.

Duan Wuji sat on the steps and rested for a while and walked into the main room, only to see that the food on the table had been set, the family had breakfast, and Duan Changsheng began to direct the four long-term workers to clean the main room.

Duan Wuji was sitting in the yard thinking about something absently, Duan Yanqing came out from the house.

Duan Yanqing looked at his youngest son and said, "Wuji! What are you thinking about?"

Duan Wuji regained his composure and said, "Father, I was thinking, our family's conditions are so good now, why is there no matchmaker to tell my brother a happy wife? My brother will be twenty after the new year, right? why?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Yes, it's quite strange. I can't figure it out either. Who knows the reason? But, Wuji, don't use Ji, let's take it slow, I won't Believe that my son will not find his wife."

At this moment, a horse neighed suddenly from outside the door, and Duan Wuji was startled.

"Who is here again so early? Let me go out and have a look."

Before Duan Wuji walked out of the door, he saw that Chai Shao had jumped off the horse and walked in leading the horse.

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, why are you free today?"

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Brother, it's almost Chinese New Year. Today I brought you some New Year's goods. Brother, you should have a good New Year this year."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, what kind of New Year's gift are you giving me! My family has a little bit of conditions now, so it's not a problem to celebrate the New Year."

Chai Shao listened with a smile: "Brother, I know that your family is rich, but I don't know that you are a fat chicken and a duck?

However, you are yours, if I don't even come over for this New Year's Eve, I can't explain it no matter what, right?
Brother, do you think my brother is right? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this: "Brother Chai, you really deserve to be a well-educated person!

Brother Chai, the house is being cleaned, let's stay in the yard for a while. "

Duan Yanqing came over and said with a smile: "Wuji, let your big brother Chai go to the west wing, look at the cold weather outside."

Duan Wuji slapped his head.

"Hey, isn't it? I don't know what's wrong with my head, why did I become stupid all of a sudden!
I can't get Alzheimer's at such a young age, can I?

Brother Chai, follow me into the West Wing and sit for a while! "

At this moment, Duan Changsheng led four long-term workers out of the house.

Duan Changsheng walked over happily.

"Brother Chai, you don't need to go to the west wing, the main room has already been cleaned and cleaned, Brother Chai, please come inside.

Wuji, why don't you let Brother Chai come in and drink some tea? "

Duan Wuji smiled at Chai Shao.

"Brother Chai, let's invite you inside the house, Brother Chai, don't leave today, how about staying at my house for two days?"

Chai Shao shook his head.

"Brother, hurry up and scratch me. I've been so busy these days, and I don't know how many gifts will be given away tomorrow. What's going on!

Brother, after the new year, I will come back when I am free.Don't bother me today. "

Several people entered the main room, and Duan Changsheng was busy serving tea and water for everyone, and they chatted while drinking tea.

Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao and said with a smile: "Brother Chai, the boss of the tea shop and the cloth shop came to my house a few days ago, and they gave me some souvenirs by the way."

Chai Shao listened with a smile: "Really, then they must be here for business in the coming year, brother, am I right?"

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Brother Chai, do you need to talk about it? Could they have something else to do? Didn't they come here just for Brother Kong Fang?

I guess they came here to say hello in advance because they were afraid that we would dump them when we do business next year.Brother Chai, do you think I guessed right? "

Chai Shao smiled and nodded.

"Does it even need to be said?"

Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao and asked: "Brother Chai, will you still participate in the business next year?"

Chai Shao smiled and said, "Can I not participate in this lucrative business? You guys can't dump me!"

"Hey, Brother Chai, where did you say it went? What happened? Brother Chai, let me discuss with you, how about we count as the top three stocks when we do business next year?

You take one share, I take one share, Tieniu and my other three brothers take one share, do you think this is good? "

Chai Shao laughed when he heard this.

"Brother, just do what you see, you can do whatever you say, I will listen to you in everything."

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Chai, go back and prepare 1 taels of silver, so that we can have a big fight with him next year."

Chai Shao listened and smiled.

"No problem, I can still get these two small coins. Hey, brother, your business will expand next year. Why, do you have any new ideas?"

Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao with a smile and said: "Brother Chai, to tell you the truth, Niu Tiegang and I went out a while ago, and we both ran to the boundary of the backing king Yang Lin. We saw that The backer Wang Yanglin, the old prince also agreed to buy us 50 horses. The price is the same as our current price, which is [-] taels of silver a horse.

Although the distance is a bit longer, I still have a profit.Brother, do you still participate in the horse trade in Shandong? "

After hearing this, Chai Shao laughed and said, "Brother, you really know how to find someone! Then King Yang Qiansui is an upright man, and he has always kept his word! Can I not participate in dealing with him? Brother, count me in. Let's But it's done!"

"Okay, no problem. Brother Chai, our business has expanded. When you go back, you can find ten or twenty more people who are good at martial arts, good at riding and shooting. If there are fewer people, I'm afraid there won't be enough."

"No problem, this matter is on me. I don't want any ordinary idiots. I will definitely find ten people for one person. I will never let them fill up the number of poor people. This matter You can rest assured."

At this moment, the sound of a carriage was suddenly heard outside the courtyard.

Chai Shao laughed and said, "The carriage for the New Year's goods is coming, let's go out and have a look."

After finishing speaking, Chai Shao took the lead and walked out of the house, only to see two carriages parked in the yard, and five or six servants on horseback standing beside the carriages.

Chai Shao saw it and shouted loudly: "What are you waiting for if you don't unload the cargo? Can't you wait for me to unload the cargo myself?"

After hearing this, the servant immediately began to unload the New Year's goods.

When Chai Shao saw it, he shouted loudly: "You unload the goods inside the house for me, and you are not allowed to put them outside, do you hear me?"

The master has spoken, how dare he not listen!Duan Yanqing immediately waved at Duan Changsheng.

"Grow, let's go, let's see if there is any place in the kitchen?"

Duan Changsheng ran over immediately when he heard this, and the servants immediately walked in carrying their things when they saw it.

This Chai Shao got a lot of new year's goods, a total of two pigs, four sheep, twenty chickens, ten ducks, one cow, one donkey, one deer, two baskets of fish, and one basket of shrimp .There are only twenty jars of good wine.

Duan Wuji looked at several servants carrying things into the house one after another, and said to Chai Shao with a smile: "Brother Chai, why did you send me so many things? Have you eaten?"

Chai Shao laughed and said, "I can't eat it, let's eat it slowly, the weather in Shanxi is cold, even if you leave it for two months, it won't be bad.

Hey, brother, I also gave Tieniu such a portion, you don't need to give him any new year's goods, I guess their family can't finish it. "

Duan Wuji smiled.

"That's right, then I don't want to think about their family. Hey, Brother Chai, let's go back after lunch here!"

Chai Shao shook his head.

"Thank you brother, brother, I'm too busy these two days, so I won't eat here.

Brother, let's see you next year. "

After finishing speaking, Chai Shao walked to his horse, untied the reins and got on the horse. Chai Shao waved his hands at the servants.

This group of servants got on their horses when they saw it, the owner of the car shook his whip, and all the people came out of Duan Wuji's house immediately.

Duan Yanqing led his two sons and sent them a long way before turning back.
