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

Chapter 395 Chapter 390 Four: The year is approaching, and there are many visitors at home

Duan Wuji had just sat down and hadn't practiced yet, when the sound of carriages and horses sounded outside the door again, Duan Wuji shook his head when he heard it.

Someone came again, it seems that today I want to practice for a while, but I can't do it!
Duan Wuji jumped off the kang and walked straight out of the house.

Walking into the courtyard, I saw two carriages with sheds had already entered the courtyard.

Not long after Duan Wuji came out, Duan Yanqing and Duan Changsheng also came out to welcome him.

The owner of the cloth shop got off the first carriage, and the owner was eager to say hello to Duan Wuji's family as soon as he jumped out of the carriage.

"Boss Duan, what a great year! This old man came to visit your family today.

Boss Duan, you've had a great year! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Boss, thanks to your old age, good! Good! Everything is fine, please come to the boss's room!"

The owner of the tea shop, Duan Changsheng's uncle, was the first to jump out of the second carriage, and then the wife of the tea shop also got out of the carriage.

Subsequently, the parents of the tea shop owner also jumped out of the car.

When Duan Yanqing saw him, he hurried over to say hello.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, why are you here too! You two old people, don't stand in a daze in the yard, let's go, please come to our house!"

The old couple smiled and said: "We came here mainly to see Ah Hua. We haven't seen each other for so long, we miss her!

Father-in-law, how is she doing now! "

"Okay! Okay! She's in the house now, father-in-law, mother-in-law, let's go, follow me into the house.

Changsheng, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to your father-in-law and mother-in-law? "

Duan Changsheng took two quick steps, and immediately knelt down to salute.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Elderly, please come to our house!"

When the two old men saw each other, they quickly reached out to help each other.

"My son-in-law, get up quickly, we are all a family, so there is no need to be polite."

Duan Changsheng stood up and shouted into the room: "Ah Hua, Ah Hua, come out quickly, look who is coming!"

After hearing this, Niu Ahua immediately ran out of the house, and was overjoyed when she saw her natal family had come.

"Father, mother, why are you here? Hurry up and invite me to the room!

Sister-in-law, are you doing well recently?Business is good, right? "

"Oh, what's the matter. Our tea shop can't sell much tea recently.

It's just barely keeping the business going.

Your brother and I are almost dying of worry.

If this continues for a long time, what will our family eat?What are you drinking?

Isn't it?Your brother and I came to beg your uncle to come.

Only if he buys us some tea can our family barely survive! "

After hearing this, Niu Ahua smiled and said, "It's not like that, how could it be like this?

When Wuji didn't buy tea from our family before, didn't our family maintain it well! "

"Oh! My great aunt, you don't know!
It's really difficult to do business now.

Alas, this world is really a bit difficult! "

Niu Ahua laughed and said, "What's so difficult in this world?

It’s enough to have food and drink all day long, what else can I think about? "

"Oh, my great aunt. You said this is your house, right?

Our family is not like that.

You said that your family's conditions, how many can compare? "

The two held hands and walked straight into the house.

Duan Wuji smiled at the two bosses.

"Come on, let's go inside too! It's cold enough outside."

After hearing this, the two followed Duan Wuji and walked straight into the house.

After entering the room, Duan Yanqing quickly served tea and water for several people, and also brought up the snack plate.

Everyone was drinking tea and talking gossip.

Duan Wuji looked at the two bosses and said, "You two big bosses, did you do well this year?"

"Oh, it's not bad! It's just barely dawdling.

You say that in this world, it is not easy to do any business!

well!Compared with previous years, it is far behind, but there is no way around it.

The world is like this, what do you think we, a common people, can do?

It's almost Chinese New Year, you are our big customer, we two brothers come to visit you together, and we will try to cooperate next year.

It's also considered a good thing for you, and reward us two brothers with a bite of food. "

Duan Wuji smiled awkwardly.

"I said, two big bosses, you two, stop pretending to be poor in front of me.

Do not worry!I won't borrow your money, I have enough money to spend. "

"Brother, we know that you have enough money to spend, who can compare to you like a fat chicken and a fat duck!

Within this two hundred miles, who doesn't know our Duan family in Taiyuan Mansion!

People who don't know the Duan family are too ignorant, right? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Two elder brothers, two big bosses, do you eat too much? You just came to my house and made fun of me!

I am a small businessman, what name can I have!

If you keep making fun of me like this, then next year I won't have the face to do business with you again. "

"Oh, Boss Duan, please don't do that.

Even if you lend us some guts, we dare not make fun of you!

What our two brothers said just now is the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can go outside and inquire about it. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Two big bosses, two elder brothers, please stop praising our family.

You are almost boasting our family to the sky.

It makes us feel uncomfortable after listening to it!
Let me tell you, any more praise will be the end of it. "

The owner of the cloth shop laughed and said: "We both want people to praise our family, but who is willing to praise our family?

Brother, don't be humble, excessive modesty is pride! "

Duan Yanqing listened and smiled at the two bosses.

"Bosses, don't argue about these useless things.

Come, come, come, let's have tea and snacks.

Since we are friends in business, we should help each other and cooperate with each other. In fact, it is not easy for anyone to earn two money!

Two big bosses, do you think I am right? "

The two nodded together.

"Well, what you said is really reasonable, it is indeed such a thing."

The owner of the cloth shop said with a smile: "Boss Niu, you are related to Wuji and his family, why should he take care of you more in this business?

Like the owner of my cloth shop, it is almost enough to get it.

Isn't it? It's almost Chinese New Year, so I hurried over to get my beard trimmed!

Otherwise, maybe next year I won't have this business to do. "

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "I said big boss, what are you talking about?

What is called a slippery beard!Why does it sound so unpleasant?

I said big boss, you can't say something nice! "

The boss of this cloth covered his mouth.

"Look at my mouth, how can I say that I have exposed my mouth!
It’s really impossible without culture!Boss Duan, you can't act like me!I am a rough person, what can I say! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I said boss, you are a rough person, which one of us is a thin person?"

The three of them laughed out loud.

The owner of the cloth shop took out a gift list and put it on the table.

"Boss Duan, it's almost Chinese New Year, and the shop doesn't have anything good for you.

Isn't this right? I bought some New Year's goods and brought them to you, so you can accept them.

How much is such a little thought, Boss Duan, I hope we will continue to cooperate next year! "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Does that even matter? That's a must.

Boss, go back and prepare the goods for 1 taels of silver!

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year, I will pick up the goods.

As for the variety of this product!Same as this year.I don't need to say more!You know this too! "

"Well, I know, I know, after you say that, I have a bottom line in my heart.

Boss Duan, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year, I'm looking forward to hearing from you! "

Duan Wuji handed over the gift list to Duan Chengsheng.

"Brother, this is a gift from the big boss.

You call the long-term worker and unload his cargo. "

Duan Changsheng immediately walked out after hearing this, and the owner of the cloth shop and Duan Yanqing's family also followed.

Duan Changsheng called the long-term worker, unloaded all the goods on the truck, and put them into the warehouse.

The owner of the cloth shop brought two pigs, two sheep, five chickens, and five ducks, that's all.

After the New Year's goods were unloaded, the owner of the cloth shop gave Duan Wuji a bow.

"Wuji! Brother, let's see you after the new year!

Brother, I'm going back now. "

When Duan Wuji saw him, he quickly reached out to stop him.

"Brother, why are you in a hurry? If you have nothing to do, just stay here for two more days!"

"Well, no. My family is still very busy, let's hang out together if we have a chance!"

"If that's the case, then I won't keep you.

Well, it's almost Chinese New Year, and every household is really busy.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year, let's meet again! "

The owner of the cloth shop boarded the car, immediately turned his horse's head, and ran straight out of the village.

Seeing him walking away, the family turned around and went back to the house.

Back in the house, the family chatted with the owner of the tea shop.

The owner of the tea shop looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brother, I sell tea. You also know that I was very poor in my childhood, and I couldn't afford to buy any good things to send to you.

I have brought some good tea, so you can make do with the New Year. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Niu, you are different for him.

If he doesn't send me some gifts, I can find sources from other houses.

We are close relatives, no matter how expensive your goods are, I still want yours.

This is also impossible!

Although it's business and business, but this relative has to take care of it! "

The bull boss laughed when he heard this.

"Brother, I know you are a cheerful person, you say you don't take care of me, who will take care of me?

No matter what, you have to give me a meal, right? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Of course, if we don't do business, if you have difficulties, I have to help you a little bit!

Brother Niu, you are here this time, so you can stay at my house for two days.

It's the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, so I don't care if the business is good or bad. "

The owner of the tea shop nodded.

"Well, that's fine, then I'll just bother you for two days.

It's not a shame to live at my brother-in-law's house for two days. "

After finishing speaking, the owner of the tea shop walked out of the door and slipped in a large bag of tea from the outside.

Duan Yanqing looked at it and said with a smile: "I just like this one, I didn't expect you to bring it to me.

This amount of tea is enough for our whole family to drink for a year! "

The owner of the tea shop smiled slightly.

"Uncle, our family can't compare with yours, your family is a big family!

Our family is that poor family!

I can't come up with anything good to honor your old man.

Don't be picky about it! "

Duan Yanqing smiled happily after hearing this: "What reason should I choose? Aren't we all a family?
Changsheng, hurry up and arrange a place for their family to live!
Let me tell you, the charcoal fire in their family's house is very lively, but don't let their family suffer in our house! "

Duan Changsheng agreed and left.

Niu Ahua took her parents' hands and said: "Father, mother, elder brother, sister-in-law, let's go, let's go to our yard.

Come and visit our new house too! "

"Well! well, well, we haven't been in your rooms since you came out.

Let's go, let's go and have a look as a family! "

After finishing speaking, the family followed Niu Ahua out of the main room.

Duan Wuji heaved a sigh of relief when he saw it, and said in his heart: Everyone who should come has come, now it's time to be clean for a while.

Duan Wuji said to his parents: "Father and mother, please rest! I'm going back to my room to practice."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji stepped out of the main room and went back to his west wing room.
