Chapter 52: The Eyes of Aunt
"Wu Xiucai is named Wu Bo, a native of Zichuan City. He has been poor since childhood. He is 25 years old and has no wife. His family is only two thatched rooms in the west of the city, one is bright and the other is dark."
Song Tao introduced the situation of Wu Xiucai to Su Yang and Shangguan Xianger.
Su Yang only guessed that the death of Song Tao’s husband Liu Zhu was probably because he was greedy for two feet of rope, but he was not interested in making mistakes, and the rope just made him land...
Where did Liu Zhu be buried, Wu Xiucai need to find out the final answer. This address is Su Yang, and even with the wisdom of his eyes, he cannot find the location.
According to the Institute of Song Tao, Wu Bo's family was very poor, and his food, clothing and expenses were all based on his own words and paintings. It was a barely enough to survive. Although Liu Zhu had never accepted him into school, he often gave him some advice on eight-legged articles, and was considered a student of Liu Zhu.
"Wu Bo and I are also acquaintances, and we are also friends with gentlemen. What we both talk about on weekdays are benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. These great principles of self-cultivation and family governance and peace. We encourage each other and work together to teach each other."
Song Tao told Su Yang.
Su Yang nodded. It seemed that Song Tao still had some understanding of Wu Bo.
The three of them rented a carriage in the city, and then Su Yang and Song Tao sat in front, and Shangguan Xianger sat in the carriage, so they went west of the city.
Driving the carriage, shaking, driving for half an hour, we arrived at the Zheng, Wu Xiucai's village.
After arriving in this village, Song Tao took Su Yang and Shangguan Xianger straight to Wu Xiucai's house. He was only close to Wu Xiucai's house. He saw a high-rise villa. From outside, he saw a courtyard with several entrances. The green tiles and white walls were completely renewed. There was no longer the old scenery of the two thatched houses in the curtain first.
After the three of them walked to the door, there were only women crying in the courtyard, and the door was closed, which made Song Tao unable to see the truth.
An old man happened to come with a cane, and Song Tao hurriedly asked the old man for advice.
"I dare to ask where is Wu Xiucai's home in this village now?"
After Song Tao greeted him, he asked respectfully.
"You are asking about Wu Daguanren in our village. This is Wu Daguanren's house, which has just been repaired."
After hearing about Wu Xiucai, the old man directly called Wu Xiucai a high-ranking official and signaled that he was in this sect.
Hearing this, Song Tao turned over again, looked at the newly painted door in front of him, walked forward, and politely knocked on the door with the knocker. In just a moment, someone came from inside and reached out to open the door for Song Tao.
Su Yang looked at the person who opened the door with a bright coat and a folding fan in his hand. He looked twenty-five or six times. In this summer, there was a tight cotton cloth around his waist. When he saw that it was Song Tao calling the door, he smiled on his face and hurriedly welcomed Song Tao, Su Yang and Shangguan Xianger into the courtyard.
"Brother Song, you are here today."
Wu Bo said to Song Tao: "I happen to have a jar of good rice wine here, which has been stored for about twenty years. I am worried that no one will come here. Brother Song is here today, so we will stop drunk."
Song Tao was stunned at this time, looking at Wu Bo up and down, and smiled bitterly: "You and I haven't seen each other for half a year, but I don't expect that Brother Wu has such a high fortune. Now there is a tall building and a wide courtyard, and there is no scene in the past..."
Suddenly seeing brothers get rich, Song Tao also had some blessings in his heart
"Brother Song, please."
Wu Bo asked Song Tao for advice.
Song Tao nodded and turned around and asked Su Yang again. As the four of them walked into the room, they saw twenty or thirty women kneeling in the yard, with flowers waving and flowers blooming, and their clothes were all broken. They knelt on the ground without any sound. After watching Wu Bo come in, the women looked at Wu Bo, their eyes were red, and everyone was afraid.
After seeing these women, Song Tao immediately became angry, reached out and pulled Wu Bo's collar, shouting: "Okay, Wu Bo, I thought you were so good at it, but I just bought such a family business. I didn't expect you to do this kind of thing, no wonder you can make a fortune!"
There were twenty or thirty women kneeling in the courtyard, all of whom were young and beautiful, and everyone was so afraid of Wu Bo. This situation made Song Tao suddenly think that Wu Bo was doing a kiln business, and he was furious and scolded him for being willing to fall and destroying his fame.
"Brother Song calms you, brother Song calms you."
Wu Bo hurriedly appeased Song Tao and smiled and said, "Brother Song, don't misunderstand. They are not brothel women, but my concubine."
“…”
Song Tao was speechless in an instant. Looking back at the yard, the women of orioles nodded to Song Tao.
Twenty or thirty concubines are all young and beautiful, and they all look beautiful.
Song Tao let go of Wu Bo's collar, quickly apologized to Wu Bo, and said, "It's my brother Meng Lang."
"fine."
Wu Bo patted his collar, disregarded himself, turned around and shouted to the woman kneeling on the ground, "Think about it clearly!" Then he brought Song Tao, Su Yang, and Shangguan Xianger into the room.
The room in the house was elegant and clean, and the furnishings were extremely exquisite. After Wu Bo asked Song Tao, Su Yang and Shangguan Xianger to sit down, a maid came forward to bring tea. After the tea was served, he looked at Wu Bo and was timid. After Wu Bo's permission, he walked outside and was obviously relieved when he arrived outside the door.
"Brother Wu."
Song Tao couldn't help asking, "Since these women outside are your concubines, why do they all kneel in the yard? But what's wrong with you?"
When he entered the courtyard, Song Tao had many questions. Now he was in the room and there were no outsiders on the left. Song Tao asked this question to explain his doubts first.
Wu Bo shook his head when he heard this, sighed without any hesitation, and sighed: "I am not talented, I have the eyes of Lao Ai, and I have never had any pleasure in my life. Now I have started a family and have married so many concubines, but none of them can satisfy my heart. They all claim that their daughters are delicate and soft, and they are not able to stand the battle. There are thirty-two concubines in the family, but there is no one to fight tonight. I am really angry!"
Lao Ai's eyes do not refer to Lao Ai's eyes.
When Song Tao heard this, he was stunned again and felt that his mind was hurt.
"The cotton cloth you are wearing around your waist."
Song Tao looked at Wu Bo's waist.
"It protects the kidneys."
Wu Bo said to Song Tao: "This is the root of life and life, and we must be careful."
Song Tao nodded again and realized that he had come to Wu Bo's house today, and was shocked and surprised by him.
"What's going on with Brother Song today?"
Wu Bo asked, then looked at Su Yang and Shangguan Xianger, and said to Song Tao: "If you have any place to use your brother, just talk, your brother will definitely make arrangements for your brother."
Wu Bo also saw that Song Tao must have something to do when he came today, so he asked.
When Song Tao heard Wu Bo let go, he asked quickly: "We are here today to ask my brother where the three-foot rope was used."
The place where this rope is used may be Liu Zhu's burial place.
When Wu Bo heard Song Tao and the rope, his face immediately changed and denied, "I don't have these three or two feet of ropes, and I don't know where my brother is."
"The Master is dead!"
Song Tao said solemnly to Wu Bo.
This statement really changed Wu Bo's expression. Look at Song Tao, then look at Su Yang and Shangguan Xianger behind him. First, he greeted Su Yang and communicated with each other, and then learned from Song Tao that he had been surrounded by an ominous dream recently, and the gentlemen in the academy were very different. After all, Wu Bo's expression changed. Looking at Su Yang and Song Tao, he sighed and said, "It's all because I'm not strict in speaking, so I've had this disaster."
Song Tao quickly asked the reason, but this time Wu Bo did not deny it and took out his own affairs.
"In the twelfth lunar month last year, I was lonely at home, so I took out my savings from home, went to the soldiers in Zibo, and bought a woman from numerous sacks."
Wu Bo smiled bitterly and said, "This pocket is tightly sealed. I can't see the appearance of the woman in the pocket, so I can only touch it. The woman I touched her waist and her legs were slender. She thought she was a young woman. After she didn't want to open it, there was an old woman in her sack, and she was hungry all over her body."
Regarding the incident on that day, Wu Bo said with a little self-deprecating, "After buying this woman, the officers and soldiers refused. My brother had no choice but to bring the old woman home. Seeing that the old woman was so pitiful, he asked her to stay at home and I served her like a mother."
Others bought women as their daughter-in-laws, but Wu Bo bought a mother at that time, and many people in the village laughed at her.
Wu Bo's house could not be opened, and if there was an extra woman to eat, he naturally couldn't eat enough. Wu Bo ate a little bit of each of his own, and gave the old woman the rest of the food. The two supported each other and depended on each other for the New Year. Soon after the New Year, the old woman passed away.
"She had something to me before she died."
Wu Bo said: "There is a cave on Huiming Peak in Zibo. There is a pit in the cave. This pit is three or two feet high. There are countless gold and silver jewelry in this pit. If I go down to get gold and silver jewelry, I need to light an incense stick on the night of the full moon, just at midnight, and worship three times in the pit. Then within one incense stick, I must get the treasure and come out from it."
Wu Bo showed the reason why he got rich so much, without any hesitation, and said, "After having money, I built a house. Until more than ten years ago, I suddenly thought that the Master was taking care of me on weekdays, so I brought some money to find Master. At that time, I drank two more drinks with Master. For a moment, I actually told Master all about this."
As a result, Wu Bo regretted it very much and looked at Song Tao and said, "After I gave this matter to my Master, I felt that there would be a disaster. As expected, in just two, the Master appeared in my sleep, entangled every night, making me dare not fall asleep, and spread the fire to them..."
