Chapter Nine
Xu Xiucai's unrestrainedness is actually a kind of attitude towards life, which lies in arbitrary and casualness. This is also related to Xu Xiucai's experience. He lives too much, everything goes step by step, and he also pursues praise from others in life too much.
There are too many failures. When I went to the world, Xu Xiucai suddenly realized his enlightenment. He didn't want to live so tiring, nor did he want to live too much. He wanted to pursue a life attitude that he dared not dare to do in the past.
Unrestrained, relaxed, and casual, became Xu Xiucai's unconscious attitude.
This attitude towards life is often accompanied by ignorance, and also with passion and passion. But it is also a true human nature.
The old man who played the erhu just sang a play tune, and now he was singing a lustful lyrics and erotic song with a suggestive nature. He heard the audience laughing and cheering constantly. Listening to the girl singing lyrics is naturally a sensation. Listening to such lyrics is a real entertainment market for the people at the bottom.
Someone also smiled and shouted, "Old man, when will your granddaughter come to sing this song?"
"Yes, your granddaughter must be singing better than your gong-sounding voice..."
The old man's granddaughter is naturally the girl who sang "Sheng Sheng Slowly" before. The people teased each other, it was not really about oppressing good deeds, it was just a kind of cheering and a kind of fun.
When the old man heard this, he smiled slightly, but he did not answer. An old man took his granddaughter to sing in the teahouse for a living, which was just a force of life. The old man also knew what he should sing and what his granddaughter should sing. Those teasing guests just made a fuss, even if he knew that the fourteen-year-old girl could not sing these dirty lyrics. The old man could not really respond, and he also hoped that his granddaughter would marry his own family and live a good life without having to wander like this anymore.
Then Xu Xiucai smiled and said, "Those brothers and sisters left in time and didn't hear the old man's dirty words. Boy Yun, do you think I am a meritorious person?"
The daughters of wealthy families naturally have different upbringings. After hearing this dirty word, I am afraid that they will feel more ashamed than Xu Jie's name for her daughter.
When Yun Shuhuan heard the words, he nodded, saying, "The rich and noble family should go to the elegant place."
Xu Xiucai touched his ears and said with a smile: "When you go to the county town after the New Year, you will also take you to see those elegant places."
Yun Shuhuan looked at Xu Xiucai and was a little bit longing. Neither Yun Shuhuan nor Xu Xiucai had attended the real gathering of literati. However, it was also a place like Qingshan County that was too small, and there were not many scholars, so there was no such consumer market.
The famous brothels are located in Dajiang County and in the south of the Yangtze River. In fact, they are not just flesh-and-skin business places, but places that sell elegance, atmosphere, high-end services, and even love. The true love, stories of courtesans and talented men are all in brothels.
Qingshan County obviously does not have such a high-end place.
Time was just passed and lunch was resolved. Xu Youjin went back to the town at 10 noon.
After half an afternoon, Xu Jie took Yun Shuhuan to take the Tieguai and paid the silver money. He also returned to Xujia Town. More than ten miles were only a journey within an hour.
But the iron crutch was really not light, and it felt like it weighed twenty or thirty pounds.
When I got home, it was not dark in winter.
Xu Zhong took Tieguai and tried it left and right in the yard. He felt it was very suitable. He smiled and walked around and said, "Jie'er is filial, this Tieguai is really good."
Seeing that Xu Zhong was satisfied, Xu Xiucai smiled and said, "It's enough for Uncle Second to like it, but he's afraid that Uncle Second thinks the crutch is too heavy and inconvenient."
Xu Zhong quickly replied with a smile: "It's great if you don't have to be heavy or not."
Xu Zhong’s happiness did not all come from this kidnapping, but also from Xu Jie’s intention. As an elder, this is mostly the case.
Xu Jie was happy even if he looked at Xu Zhong. The Xu family was left with a blind old lady and a disabled second uncle. Xu Jie had no other thoughts except cherishing him.
Xu Jie smiled even more happily as he looked at his second uncle leaning on this new iron crutch, looking back and forth.
At this time, Xu Laoba entered the gate and came directly to the courtyard. Seeing Xu Zhong was in the outer courtyard, he spoke and said, "Brother, there are boats coming from the river, five or six large ships."
Xu Jie raised his eyebrows when he heard this, touched the long knife on his waist, and said, "Damn it, I'm back to find a place. I have to teach them a lesson."
There is no need to guess the matter. The iron-backed dragon was beaten and lost something. How could he not come back?
Xu Zhong was leaning on the crutch, smiling without diminishing his smile. In the joy of the child's filial pleasure, he nodded and said, "Old Eighth, I'm going to do one this time to gather people. In the future, no ship carrying private goods is allowed to pass by at will at will at the river in front of my Xujia Town, especially the ships from the Nanshan Gang, who will grab one after another after passing."
Xu Zhong smiled and said these words. Xu Jie was a little surprised, and he was surprised that his second uncle, who had always been kind, suddenly became so fierce.
Xu Jie's own idea was just to teach these people who came to find trouble, but Xu Zhong spoke out very well, and even managed the river channel, and ships that were not allowed to transport private goods passed by. He really felt a sense of passion.
While watching Xu Xiucai stretched out a thumb, he said, "It's still the second uncle who is domineering!"
Xu Zhong smiled even stronger when he heard this. He leaned forward with crutches and said, "Jie'er, this is the reason for something. In the past, I always wanted to live my life with my own heart. This time I had to come to this place. If I want to settle things, I can only bow down. If I can't do it, I can only tear my face and let people know that my Xu family can't afford to offend me."
Xu Zhong saw that things went straight to the essence. It was impossible to end things safely today. It was obvious that they could not solve the problem even if they paid off money and materials. If others wanted to expose this matter, they could only bow down and beg for mercy and let others bully them until they were happy.
Then there is no need to think about the room for maneuvering, just do it more accurately. This is Xu Zhong’s idea.
The former battle formation of tigers will roar the mountains again today.
The old Ba next to him laughed and said, "Brother, my brothers used to ask you to take everyone to find a living on the river, but you just don't want to do it. You just said that you live a good life and be filial to your parents. Now more than ten years have passed, and my brother has finally gotten enlightened."
Xu Laoba's words also revealed the old things. Although these soldiers in the army fought back from the border, they were very sad. However, most of them were in their passionate time, and they thought about making money on this river to make a living.
To make a living on the river, it is not to cast a net to fish, but to get a business with a fearless attitude. It is natural and easy to make money, and it is not difficult to be rich or powerful.
Xu Zhong did not agree to it, and everyone was unable to take the court's pension and bought a few more acres of land. He waved his hoe and took care of the busy farming for help. His life was good, but his wealth was far away.
More than ten years have passed, and most of them have accepted such days. Taking a wife and having children, having food and drink, and working hard is nothing. At least everyone can be considered a proletarian, and they are not much happier than those who can only make a living as tenant farmers.
Xu Zhong had already left the gate and replied lightly: "In the past, if my parents were there, I would risk my life for money. I would be sorry for my parents, and I would be sorry for my brothers who died in the border. Now we are all this old, and most of the elderly in our family are not many. Making money is for the sake of the servants."
Xu Zhong said what he thought in his heart, and his tone was very relaxed. But this truth was very touching, making Xu Jie's eyes a little moisturized.
More than ten years ago, these men who had lived on the battlefield kept the elderly in the town. More than ten years later, these men had to think about the servants in the town. They had no food to go to the army for the flood and had no food to fight for the rest of their lives, and they had to take care of their elders and their servants so much.
This is the only man in this world!
Xu Zhong said it lightly and resolutely.
Xu Laoba was overjoyed and followed quickly, saying, "Brother, I will take the lead today and help me grab a few good boats first!"
The ship is naturally something that cannot be missed in this river. The only purpose of the ship of the Nanshan Gang is to transport private salt that the court ordered to prohibit the public from selling. Since Xu Zhong wanted to make a living in the river, this ship is indispensable.
Today, five large ships have arrived on the dock.
