take a wife to support the family

Chapter 119 Dragon Pattern White Jade Pendant

After lunch, the old shopkeeper arranged for someone to tell the rules to the selected people: "After five days, when you come to work in the store at noon, you don't need to bring anything. The store will arrange the accommodation, clothes, food and drink, and you will have a rest every ten days. , if there is an urgent matter, you can ask for another leave."

Qingsong and the others were very excited, and they all said: "In the future, I will definitely work hard for my boss!"

Naturally, Chen Bin didn't eat with the guys and craftsmen. He took Song Haonian to the restaurant to have dinner and joked. If there are too many, I will not leave you alone, and I will ask them to come to work by themselves in five days, brother, you will come to me no matter what time you want. If I am not here, you can talk to shopkeeper Liu."

Song Haonian also said: "Brother Chen, if you have free time, you can go to the countryside to relax. There is nothing else in our place, just a few willow trees are not bad, and there are some wild game to taste."

A few people have to go back at once, and one person is short of one, isn't it Song Haojie?
Song Haonian had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky for such a brother who could not be relied on at the stall, and said to everyone: "Why don't you go first and wait for me at the gate of the city for a while, and I will look for him. If you don't come, you go back first, and I will come back tomorrow."

The money, food and clothes brought by his wife are sufficient, and he can make do with it for a night no matter where he is.

Chen Bin said with a smile: "You can go back at ease, your brother is on me, and nothing will happen to him."

"How can I trouble you..."

"Isn't it bothering you to find an accountant and recruit a buddy?" Chen Bin said with a smile, "Our brother, don't be polite to me, I will send someone to find your brother, and send it back to you in a good way tomorrow." .”

Song Haonian said: "If Brother Chen finds him, just ask him to go home, don't bother to prepare food and drink for him, and send him back - such a big man, it should be a bit of a deal."

In this way, when Song Haonian and his party left the county, Chen Bin beckoned to his servants: "Let a few people look for them, especially those brothels and gambling houses, and bring them back if they find them."

Song Haonian and the others walked slowly on the road, everyone laughed and laughed, thinking about their future life, Xu Caiwen smacked his lips and said, "The food they cook is also delicious!"

Just for that meal, he was not wronged by being a buddy for several years.

Qingsong said very knowledgeably: "Do you think it's delicious? It's not as good as my eldest sister."

The two boys fought over who had the best food, Song Haonian didn't care about it, he was still thinking about where Song Haojie went.

At this time in Taiping County, Chen Bin's people were already looking for Song Haojie, who looked very polite, but in fact there was no room for him to resist, they picked up people from left to right, and slipped in front of Chen Bin.

One of them took a step forward and whispered a few words to Chen Bin. Chen Bin didn't care at first, but suddenly sat upright when he heard the words, his eyes swept towards Song Haojie with radiance.

Song Haojie was swearing and swearing at first, but Chen Bin's eyes were swept away, and it was as if the eight petals of the roof were broken, and a basin of snow water was poured down, causing two shudders, and he dared not speak or swear.

But seeing that Chen Bin's face changed into a smile, and he said kindly: "Listen to my two incompetent subordinates, Brother Haojie is a little tight at the moment, so go to the pawn shop to exchange some money?"

Song Haojie hurriedly said: "I'm just walking around, who would know it's a pawn shop?"

Chen Bin saw that his eyeballs kept rolling when he spoke. Although he didn't look like Song Haonian, he was somewhat handsome, but his appearance was completely ruined by his wretched expression. He knew that he was not an honest person, so he just laughed He said: "I understand, I understand, how can a person like Brother Haojie go to the pawn shop?"

He waved his hand, "Brother, you are too alien to me, you are short of money, just tell the elder brother, can the elder brother still lose you?"

Song Haojie looked him up and down suspiciously, and he couldn't hide the greedy look in his eyes. In fact, he didn't bother to hide it at all, "You...will you help me?"

Chen Bin was polite before Song Haonian, but here at Song Haojie, he seemed to be a different person, with the rogue posture he was familiar with, and the two of them immediately hooked shoulders together: "You are Da Nian's brother, that is me Brother. You are good at everything, but you are too honest to play, but I think you are clever and have a bright future, brother!"

The more he said that Song Haonian was not good, the happier Song Haojie was. He put aside any doubts at once, and said to himself: "Second brother is lucky to save the next rich man. If it were me, he would have to ask him to take care of him." You can't give me half of your wealth!

Song Haojie said: "I'm new here, I don't have any money with me, and my second brother left me to go back. I really don't know what to do."

Chen Bin smiled and said, "How can I ask you to spend less money here? Just tell me how much you need, brother will help you!"

Song Haojie rolled his eyes a few times, mustered up his courage and said, "Ten taels?"

Ten taels of silver was a lot of money to him. As soon as he said it, he saw Chen Bin's half-smile and a little scared, so he changed his mind and said, "Either five taels is fine."

Chen Bin waved his hand and called the servant in front of him: "Bring Master Song ten taels of silver, and I want enough ingots."

Song Haojie's eyes lit up immediately, and he forgot about other things. He only felt that Chen Bin was closer than his mother and father, and he respected him more than gods and bodhisattvas.

All of a sudden a servant brought the boss a silver ingot, without Chen Bin saying anything, Song Haojie got up and took it in a hurry, weighed it first, and then took a bite to check its fineness. He heard that sterling silver is soft, and it takes two There is no doubt that there is a tooth mark.

Song Haojie couldn't help but confide his heart to Chen Bin, said a lot of bad things about Song Haonian, and thought he was very tactful and secretly asked where the fireworks and willow alley in the city was, and where the gambling house was.

Chen Bin is a man from the capital city, and he is well-informed. Let alone Song Haojie, a young countryman, even the magistrate of Taiping County may know more than him.

He ordered someone to serve a pot of wine, casually said a few words about the fireworks and Liu Xiao's experience, and lightly and skillfully held Song Haojie in his palm, pointing things out, he was more obedient than in front of Niu Shi.

At this time, Chen Bin acted as if he didn't care, and asked, "Brother, what are you planning to exchange for some money? If it's valuable, you must hide it well."

Song Haojie drank a few cups of yellow soup, his mouth became more and more unguarded, and he pulled out a jade pendant from his collar and showed it to Chen Bin: "This is it!"

He didn't realize that the moment Chen Bin's eyes fell on the jade pendant, it was as cold as ice and as sharp as a knife.

The jade pendant was warm and transparent, with four-clawed dragon patterns carved on it, and the sea of ​​clouds rising, it was extraordinary at first glance.Chen Bin's eyelids twitched violently, afraid that Song Haojie would see something wrong, so he quickly smiled and said, "It's really a good thing, where did Brother Haojie get it?"

Song Haojie was having a good time eating wine, and said indifferently: "I have been wearing it since I was a child. My mother said that I brought it down when I fell into a womb. This thing is my amulet. If it is not an emergency, I will definitely wear it." Can't get it out."

Chen Bin was thinking, when gambling money and drinking are nothing important, he smiled and helped him put the jade pendant back: "It can be seen that brother, you have been extraordinary since you were young, and your future achievements will be set above ten thousand people. At that time, I will have to rely on my brother a lot You."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Song Haojie laughed, while Chen Bin couldn't help thinking about the touch of the jade pendant in his hand, it was delicate and smooth, and the color was undoubtedly Hetian mutton jade.

Not long after Song Haojie finished a pot of wine, he still asked for more, Chen Bin said: "Drinking is boring, let's go to the restaurant next door, order some small dishes, ask for a little singing, and listen to music while eating wine, wouldn't it be fun?" Beautiful?"

Song Haojie seemed to understand, but understood the words Xiaocai and Xiaochang, jumped up and said: "That's good, let's go, let's go!"

Chen Bin gave the shopkeeper a wink as he walked, and the shopkeeper nodded in understanding. Chen Bin went to the restaurant next to him and continued to talk about Song Haojie. The next time he sang a few songs, Chen Bin didn't stop him, he could catch the girl who sang the song and kiss him in the restaurant.

It wasn't until Song Haojie was so drunk that Chen Bin asked two servants to carry him back, and said to the shopkeeper: "This person doesn't even know what kind of terrible thing he is wearing, and he really picked it up by himself." Mile."

Shopkeeper Liu said: "You must not be anxious about this matter. It is better to take it slow and investigate carefully, otherwise we cannot bear the responsibility."

Chen Bin frowned, and nodded heavily for a while: "If there is no such jade pendant, it would be easier to handle."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's easy to do, and difficult to do. We'd rather be more careful about what we seek in wealth and insurance."

Chen Bin sighed: "I was impatient. When I came here, I didn't plan to find out easily, or I wouldn't open a silk and satin shop. In my opinion, it won't be difficult to return to the capital this time."

"It's just time to let it out, so relax and relax." The shopkeeper was still smiling, showing no signs of impatience, "Although the matter is important, they can't run away, but if they get impatient and startle people, it's not beautiful, let's check it slowly. "

Chen Bin nodded in agreement, then pointed to Song Haojie and said to the shopkeeper: "Find a place to put him down—what, it's too tiring for me to socialize for half a day."

The shopkeeper chuckled: "According to me, you need to get a room and find someone to settle him. If he is that person, wouldn't it be bad for you to be so negligent? Even if it is not, such a scoundrel knows that you treat him better than him." Bring that Song Haonian, I'm afraid I will have trouble with you again."

Chen Bin was impatient, and was about to kick Song Haojie as soon as he lifted his foot, but he could barely take it back: "God bless, please don't be this thing, I would rather be a vegetarian for the rest of my life, and I don't want to trade him for my career—" It doesn't have to be disgusting!"

In the end, he asked his men to go down to the store where he lived and asked for a room in the upper room. He carried Song Haojie there, and asked others to watch him, so as not to suffocate himself to death with drunken vomiting.

Song Haojie was drunk like a caterpillar, and looked more and more obscene, Chen Bin sighed again: "Really, if it's really him, I don't want the credit this time!"

Shopkeeper Liu persuaded him unhurriedly, "What are you in a hurry for? There will always be a day when the truth will be revealed."

Chen Bin gritted his silver teeth tightly, a piece of flesh bulged out of his cheek, and prayed silently in his heart: "Bless my ancestors, make my wish come true."
