Chapter 166 Concubine and Antiques
After all, Ma Damazi was thick-skinned and blushed and whispered: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, sir, the food from our two families has almost finished eating. I'm afraid that we just reached the Jiangnan Sea. So, if we don't go and eat the whole family will starve to death in the end."
Gu Yezhou was stunned: "The two officials are big families in the village, and they have a mountain of food. Why did they say they starve to death?"
Ma Damazi smiled and said, "We didn't expect the snow disaster to last for so long, and we sold all the grains and bought land. We didn't expect that a strong wind would sweep away most of the rice merchants' grains. All rice merchants neither sold grains nor lent them. And the grains of our two families were almost eaten up. If we didn't leave, how could this family survive? They couldn't even dig wild vegetables."
Old Master Long looked at Gu Yezhou with envy and jealousy and hatred: "It's still Mr. Lucky, he is far-sighted and does not buy land, and he buys all his money for food. Alas! A game of chess is a loser. Now, there is only Mr. in our village. You have enough food to survive this disaster. Mr. Lucky is really a god who can predict the future."
Gu Yezhou smiled softly and said, "Then you all surround us in the escort agency, what's the matter?"
Ma Damazi said, "That's right. We all heard that fishing on the beach can be eaten. No one thought of this good idea. After learning that it was Mr.'s attention, everyone said they would come to express their gratitude to you. Last time the bandits surrounded our village. If it weren't for you, Mr., I'm afraid that the whole village would die at the hands of the bandits. Everyone said that they had not expressed their gratitude to Mr., so they would come together to thank Mr. for coming."
After saying that, Ma Damazi whispered: "Everyone, kneel down quickly. Thank you for your kindness!"
Hulala. All the villagers knelt in the snow, saying thank you in a messy voice.
Gu Yezhou quickly helped him with his hands in the void: "Please get up, fellow villagers! There is no need to be like this."
Only then did these villagers stand up slowly.
Old Master Long smiled and said, "Sir, you have purchased most of the Mo family's grain, and you must not be able to finish it alone. I dare not tell you to borrow it. Do you think this is OK? I will buy it with you, and I will never bargain if you offer a price. OK?"
Gu Yezhou smiled faintly: "Sorry, I won't sell my food."
Old Master Long took Gu Yezhou's hand and walked to a big cart. He pulled open the covered tarpaulin and stacked boxes inside. This time, he fled the famine, because there was no food, Old Master Long had driven away all his servants, and only his family could do it. Old Master Long ordered his concubine Yumei and his new daughter-in-law Xingtao to move one of the boxes down and put them on the ground. He opened it, and it was full of various antiques and antiques.
Old Master Longlong smiled and said, "I spent less than a hundred stones of food to exchange for this box of treasures. I only need ten stones now. Use this treasure worth a hundred stones to exchange for ten stones of food with you. You have taken a big advantage. How about it?"
Gu Yezhou didn't even look at the box of antiques, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't want to take advantage of you, I don't sell any of the food."
Old Master Long was a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "I said it wrong before. You are not taking advantage of it. You are kind to help me." Speaking of this, Old Master Long choked up his voice, looked back, and then said: "My son was killed in the storm that time. His newly married concubine Polian died tragically. And my original wife also fell to death. I can be regarded as a family being destroyed. Now there is no food, and I am about to starve to death. Although there is countless gold, silver and treasures, I cannot eat it. Just treat it as pity for me and sell me some food, right?"
Gu Yezhou was unmoved at all and shook his head: "Sorry, I said I won't sell food."
"You sell me a little first. If you think this box of antiques is not enough, I can add it! I will give you another box of antiques, how about it? - Quickly! Move another box of antiques to Mr.!"
Yumei and Xingtao quickly moved another box of antiques.
Gu Yezhou shook his head and said, "Sorry, I won't sell my food." After that, he turned around and left, but was stopped by Ma Damazi.
Old Master Long was afraid that Ma Damazi would buy the grain first, so he quickly dragged Gu Yezhou back. He gritted his teeth and pointed at the cart of antiques and said, "I'll give you all the antiques in this cart! I'll exchange you for ten stones of grain? How about?"
Gu Yezhou looked at him with a little sarcastic sarcasm: "Mr. Long, how many antiques have you exchanged for your food these days? Not just this car, right?"
Old Master Long whispered: "To be honest, there are seven cars! If you want, I can exchange three cars for you, not four cars of food! - You can take a look, every box here is priceless antique! You can choose it yourself! How about it?"
Gu Yezhou looked at him sadly: "At the time when your family's grain was a mountain, they were all replaced with antiques that could not be eaten or drunk. Now they are used to exchange for food. Isn't it too comedy?"
Old Master Long looked ashamed: "Who knew this snow disaster would last for so long? Who would have thought that most of the rice merchant's grain was swept away by the strong wind and refused to sell the grain? I couldn't imagine it..." Speaking of this, he felt something was wrong again. He didn't expect it, but Mr. Gu thought of it, only buying grain but not antiques. He laughed at him at the time, but now it's time for him to laugh at him.
Gu Yezhou said, "Okay, no matter how many antiques you have, I am not jealous, and I don't want to sell a grain of food. I can't help you. Sorry!" Gu Yezhou turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Old Master Long: "Sir, wait! Wait a minute!"
Old Master Long pulled over his newly acquired concubine Yumei and pushed him to Gu Yezhou: "Here! Two carts of antiques, plus her, I will give you all, and you will exchange for ten stones of food. Is that okay? - She is a little girl, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her kung fu is also very good on the bed. You can tell if you try it!"
Yumei couldn't expect that the master would use her for food. She was both ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but cover her face and cry.
Gu Yezhou stared at Old Master Long and said coldly: "You exchanged antiques for food, but I still think you are pitiful, but now you exchanged your woman for food, I can only say you are hateful!" After that, he turned around and left.
Yumei had tears in her eyes, looking at Gu Yezhou's back with admiration and sadness.
Old Master Long was anxious and said loudly: "I will add three more cars of antiques to you for your ten stones of grain! - Four cars...! Five cars...! I will use five cars of antiques to you for your ten stones of grain! Five cars! Can't add them anymore...! Fuck! Six cars! Six cars will change to you...!!"
Gu Yezhou sneered in his heart. He was really a wealthy slave. He had reached the critical moment of life and death. He was still thinking of leaving a cart of antiques. He walked towards the door of the escort agency without looking back. He was stopped by Ma Damazi: "Sir, sell me some food. I only need five stones, okay..."
Gu Yezhou said: "Can you pay a higher price than him?"
Old Master Long has already sold six carts of antiques to exchange for his ten stones of grain. Ma Damazi doesn't have so much money. He spends all his money to buy land. He also secretly ridiculed Old Master Long for this. It is better to buy land than to buy things that cannot make money. But now he knows that he and Old Master Long are wrong. Old Master Long guards countless antiques, and he guards a lot of land deeds, but the whole family has reached a state of starvation. If he doesn't think of a way, he will have to starve to death. He regrets that he has all his food for land, but there is nothing in this world, but there is no regret medicine.
Ma Damazi said anxiously: "I can exchange land for you! How much land you want to exchange for one stone of grain! How about it?"
"I don't even like antiques, and I still like your property?" Gu Yezhou said lightly, and walked towards the escort agency again.
This time, the villagers who stopped him were kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Sir, you have pity on us. We have no food, but we are going to starve to death..."
Gu Yezhou understood that these villagers came to him for gratitude, but for his little food. If they didn't have this food, they wouldn't even look at him.
Gu Yezhou seemed to have not seen them, and then walked forward, but a large group of children ran over, holding his feet tightly, knelt on the ground and begging for some food. Gu Yezhou couldn't even walk on the road. Many other old women and women knelt outside layer by layer, surrounding Gu Yezhou.
At this moment, Gu Yezhou saw a look that was not enthusiastic but full of resentment from the longing eyes of the woman. He couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at it and saw a petite woman with a bright red scar the size of a palm on her face, with a disheveled head and a dirty face hiding in the crowd.
Gu Yezhou frowned. There were not many people in the village, and he had almost known each other, but this ugly woman who seemed to be newly injured on her face did not recognize her. Logically, he would definitely remember such obvious characteristics, but he would not have any impression of her. He couldn't help but look at her again in confusion, but the woman lowered her head and hid behind others.
Gu Yezhou didn't want to know who she was, but when he looked at him with such a resentful look, he wanted to know the reason, but he was surrounded by so many children and women and couldn't even move, let alone go over and ask the woman.
Seeing that he could not get out, Gu Yezhou frowned and said, "Okay! I can give you some food, but my food is all at the rice merchant Hu Wanghai. You can queue up at his doorstep, send one bowl each person, and you are not allowed to collect it on your behalf. The quantity is limited, first-served if you arrive first! Go quickly!"
So the villagers cheered and immediately got up and ran towards Hu Wanghai's house. The children, old women and women knelt on the ground rushed to Hu Wanghai's house.
