Compete for the Song Dynasty

-"

The porridge shop clerk Xiao Si left the shop with the money and trotted back to his residence. Liu Yishou saw that he came back empty-handed and asked, "You didn't say you went to find some food, why did you go for a long time and came back empty-handed?"

Xiao Si hurriedly took out the ingot of silver: "Master, look, this is given to me by the shopkeeper of the porridge and pancake shop."

"Why did I give you so much money for no reason?" Liu Yishou snatched the silver and put it in his hand, weighed it in his hands. The fourth stared at the silver, as if he was afraid that Liu Yishou would walk in after taking the silver, and said, "I took that money to take care of Master." I resigned from the job, this is the compensation they gave me, I figured it out, if my father lived in two provinces, he could eat for three to five months."

"No prospect." Liu Yishou raised his hand and returned the money to Xiaosi and said, "Can one stone last for three to five months?"

Xiaosi wondered if this master was hungry and confused. A full ingot of silver 36 taels would be exchanged for copper coins, which would always be exchanged for seven or eight hundred cash, and a pot of wine would only cost a few cash. Eight hundred cash can't fit in several boxes. How could Master say that it can't be eaten for a few months? He reached out and took the silver. He lowered his head heavily and looked at himself. He was surprised if it wasn't a stone.

After staying for a while, I thought about that Pan Jinlian hated me, but she wouldn't be fooled by the stone. Besides, the shopkeeper Sun of the gaming shop testified and got the money back. Thinking of this, he frowned and said with a smile on his eyes: "Master, it is true." It’s a disciple who’s worthless. If the master taught the disciple a trick or two with this unique skill, we would spend this money as the capital, and we would still have to worry about months of expenses.”

Liu Yishou sneered: "You're smart, kid. You have to study for a few months. You have to spend it in exchange for a few drinks to buy some daily necessities. Even if you are willing to learn, you can still get rich suddenly."

Although this Liu Yishou is a gambler, he is also poor and afraid, especially since he has lost one hand, so he can't do anything, so he can't help but think more about the future, just now is just a bright spot, so that this little four will serve him obediently and willingly.

Xiao Si went out and exchanged the silver and found a craftsman to repair the roof door and filled in the stove. He really seemed to have the intention to spend his days and bought some wine and vegetables to carry home. With money in his waist, he walked with a straight waist, so he happened to pass porridge. The bakery hung its neck and hummed a song, thinking that one day he would show off in front of the couple

"Hey, you don't work well and are lazy." On the steps of the porridge shop, a little Wu Song pointed at the little four with his waist

Little Siyi Wu Song's forehead almost staggered to the child, "Is the little thing in charge?"

Wu Song quit, patted his buttocks, stood up knowing that he couldn't beat him, he turned around and picked up the latch, turned towards Xiao Si's legs, Xiao Si oops, got hit on the leg, immediately got annoyed, kicked Wu Nan and his wife outside the door Noisy just came out of the store and saw Xiaosi bullying Xiaoyan, who was about to kick Wu Song Wu Nan stepped forward to protect Wu Song and kicked Xiaosi instead

Seeing this, Pan Jinlian scolded: "Small boy, my family has taken care of you for so many years. You are so mad at yourself. Dad's funeral was all for the help of the Wu family. In the end, you bullied the master. You are really disloyal and unfilial."

"Stinky bitch, shut up and talk nonsense and even fuck you" Xiaosi stared back at the door and gradually everyone around pointed at Xiaosi and said he was disrespectful and bullying honest people Xiaosi was like a target of public criticism Seeing that the situation was not good for him, he turned his head and groaned When he was about to leave, he was blocked by a few big men and saw that it was Sun Qian, the shopkeeper of the gambling shop, standing on the steps and said: "Xiaosi, the matter between your master and servant is already over, but the matter in front of you is clearly your fault, why don't you agree?" If you admit your mistake, don’t blame me guys for being reckless.”

The neighbors in the street usually hate this little four for not being up to date. Seeing Sun Qian say this, they all booed: "Admit your mistake, admit your mistake."

At first Xiaosi also refused to accept and insisted on rushing out, but was pushed back and forth by a few guys, couldn't walk half a step, dropped something, spilled wine, and got punched a few times for no reason, then apologized in a low voice and returned home despondently

Feeling aggrieved, he walked in and scolded: "Stinky dwarf, dead woman, and old man Sun, one day I will make you all look good."

Seeing his embarrassment, Liu Yishou asked, "Did you go out and something happened?"

Xiao Si complained and said: "You think this Wu Nan short man has such a good life? My Fang Zi also married such a handsome wife. At the beginning, he relied on his uncle to be an official in the county. Now that his uncle is gone, there is old man Sun protecting him. There is that dead woman who is so handsome, how can she be so clever when scolding people? They are waiting for me to have money, me, me..."

I've been there for a long time and he doesn't know what to do with money

Liu Yishou chuckled: "No matter how pretty a handsome little lady is, she can be as handsome as Miss Sun's family back then."

Xiaosi looked at the master with such a big smile: "Miss Sun, Miss Sun, others, I don't know, anyway, this county town, this little lady of the Pan family is one of the best, you see, the business of the porridge and pancake shop is so hot." Half of the diners are here to see Mrs. Pan, who is known as porridge Xishi, just think about it. In the future, without me, the frivolous young man will go to see it. Wu Nan, that short man, is afraid that some day, the woman will be seduced. He can't help it."

Liu Yishou shunned his hair: "Brother, when will the master come out to help you take down your shop? I'll take over that lady. Let's take money and sex hahaha"

Xiao Si said: "That feeling really makes me think it's because that woman doesn't dare to show her power to me, Master, when will you teach me how to gamble?"

"Why are you in a hurry, find something for a while, find a pair of dominoes, and buy some jars of vinegar, candles, gauze and other things. Get ready and we will start tomorrow."

"Otherwise, what are you talking about so much vinegar for?" Xiao Si asked puzzledly.

"soak hands"

The master answered concisely, and little four didn't dare to ask too many questions. Every day, according to Liu Yishou's teaching, he practiced playing cards, practiced his eyesight and hand speed, and at the same time, soaked his hands in vinegar every day to soften his hands and blinked half a month later. It took another half a month to teach him the technique, but he is also proficient in practicing it

This day, after practicing the basic skills as usual, Xiao Si Zhang Luo went out to buy some wine and vegetables. The master and apprentice sat opposite each other and Xiao Si filled Liu Yishou with wine. Said: "You want to drink too"

"I want to drink"

Liu Yishou said, "Do you want to drink or make money?"

"Of course I made money." Hearing what the master said, Xiao Si hurriedly put down the jug

"You remember that if you want to make money in this business, you must never drink alcohol in the future"

Xiao Si was puzzled and said: "Then Master you"

"I've already ruined it by drinking too much. My hands are shaking and I'm greedy. I think you do have some qualifications. If you can't learn it, forget it. Since you have the qualifications, don't ruin yourself."

Xiao Si hurriedly said: "Thank you, Master, for teaching me."

Liu Yishou said while eating and drinking: "Dare to wait until you pack up your things tomorrow, we can walk around and you can practice too."

"There is a gambling shop at your doorstep, why don't you practice here?"

"It's nonsense that a mule or a horse has to be taken out to walk around the door of the house. If the neighbors in the street are not good at learning skills, then don't hang out here. Go out and make a living. Ask again. If you can't make it, don't be ashamed here."

Hearing that Master was going to take him out to run into Xiaosi, his eyes sparkled with excitement, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, I'm just thinking about when I will be able to return to the blockbuster, clean up that old man Sun, and let that short Wu take a look."

"As a teacher, I also hope that if you can develop well, then I won't have to hide and be shameful, and I can have a little lady to entertain you. Don't say that I really saw the little lady Pan in the porridge shop today. She is really handsome and has a bit of vigor. It fits my heart very well hahaha”

Seeing Liu Yishou laughing, Xiaosi was also very proud. He quickly poured Liu Yishou another glass of wine. have brothers and sisters”

"I'm the only child, how can I have any brothers and sisters, if I have any, I will let that dwarf Wu Nan bully me?"

"Then why is it called a little four?"

"Hey, it's not my father's illiterate bastard. My surname is Qing. My mother was born in Ximen. Once a year, the government makes registers. My father went to give me newspapers. He was illiterate, and he didn't even say that he found someone who could write, so he ran to Ximen crookedly. Write it down according to the words on the city gate, and report to that house. The household book is also written crookedly according to the gourd painting. How can you see how the word Ximen is written as four children. My mother said that it would be changed. Being taller means making the wrong mistake, so I, Qing Ximen, became Qing Sier." He shook his head without regret as he spoke.

The next day, the two masters and apprentices packed up and saluted and left the Qingxi Gate of Qinghe County with the remaining ten or so coins. They followed the master and went out of the city gate. Looking back at the two characters on the wall of the west gate, they thought to themselves: I was born and made a fortune here. If I go out of Ximen again, if I can come back one day, I will change my name and call him Ximen Qing, and then I will run rampant in Qinghe County. No one dares to provoke him.

There is a saying that the world is unpredictable, Wang Pang is not as good as the sky, he must have thought that this Si'er could really change his name in the future, and he really ran across Qinghe County, and became more and more worried with the Wu family. At this time, Wang Pang had already arrived in Dengzhou. Dengzhou sailed straight to Koryo, but was delayed for several days due to an incident

Along the way, when I heard that I was going to take a boat to Gaoliu, Dai Zong looked embarrassed, and then I realized that Dai Zong was called the God of Traveling Taibao, but he was seasick. A few people arrived in Yunzhou, which was the first place before going to Dengzhou. Once met, the two agreed that Wang Pang would visit and rest in Yunzhou for two or three days. Wang Pang asked Dai Zong to send a letter to the Jurchen tribe in the Liao Dynasty. He was going to let Rouer and Zhennan wait for him at ease. Then I heard that Li Shining in Dengzhou has always wanted to meet Wang Pang. The name is very familiar. Wang Pang remembered something he said to Han Jiang.
