Chapter 24 Worry
Meng Du smacked his head and continued, "Of course, you have nothing to do with rude behavior, but I always feel that although you are polite to people, something is always wrong in your bones... Ah, I remember something is wrong.
In the eyes of scholars, we yamen runners are low-key people who wait. When they speak to us, they either give us a simple command or a kind of condescending tolerance. Only Shi Yanei's brother-in-law and you seem to not feel the difference in their identity when they talk to us - you are really treating us as brothers.
Mom, Shi Yanei’s brother-in-law is the same. It is said that he talks with the porter on the dock. Therefore, although the Shi family came later, even if several major tea merchants in Haizhou City jointly squeezed, they could not squeeze Shi Yanei’s brother-in-law away.”
This is no longer a strange person. Shi Chuan felt that the feeling described by Meng Dutou was very familiar, a bit like a otakus next door... Equality, there is no thinking habit of high or low people, and it is just a straight look. Should such people appear in ancient times?
Meng Du smacked his head and continued regretfully: "There is no way. Although those major tea merchants are deeply rooted in the century-old family, they cannot resist Shi Yanei's brother-in-law being good at operating. Similarly, several ships docked on the dock, and those carrying large bags would rather load and unload Shi's ships first, so other families could not dig them away... So, Shi Yanei's brother-in-law got the nickname "Glass Monkey".
It's strange. You said you are a fool. The expression you talk to people is pure and simple. You can't even think of the difference in identity. Could the attitude of the Liuli Monkey was taught after all? What kind of family will teach people these skills... Well, Shi Yanei's brother-in-law is said to have a mysterious origin. Could it be that you two are really close?"
Meng Dutou said so much, Shi Chuan only summed up one sentence, it seemed that Shi Yanei's mysterious brother-in-law had a very similar attitude towards people.
The two of them talked while walking, Mengdutou chose to drill in secluded alleys all the way. The team turned a corner and a brightly lit street appeared.
With the help of the dim light on the street, Shi Chuan found that Meng Dutou seemed to be in memory when he spoke. He was very focused. He asked casually: "Is that brother-in-law Shi Yanei still living in the city?"
Meng Du sighed: "Everyone says that a good person doesn't live long. Shi Yanei's sister is so kind, and she died of miscarriage. Since then, Shi Yanei's brother-in-law has become more and more concise. Most people can't see him.
After all, the Shi family has a shallow foundation in Haizhou. Recently, I heard that several major tea merchants are discussing to select and send a beautiful woman from the clan to win over the glass monkey. If this matter is done, Shi’s brother-in-law will no longer be the ‘Shi family’, and may become another family’s brother-in-law.”
Speaking of this, Meng Du nodded: "No wonder Shi Yanei is so willing to help you. The Shi family is used to being able to pick up cheap things. They picked up a brother-in-law from somewhere. In a few years, Shi Yanei spent money like water. No matter how waste money he was, he could not keep up with the speed of his brother-in-law making money. If his brother-in-law becomes the 'other-in-law' in the future', Shi Yanei's money bag will be important.
Well, you fool, if you are half as smart as Brother Shi’s husband, Shi Yanei will have a bag of money in the future... Not bad, you might be cultivating and cultivating the owner in the temple to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and you might be the second most beautiful monkey in the glass - Shi Yanei has vision."
As he was talking, Xishi, who had been wiping sweat all the way, urging the donkey to chase him from behind, his voice was full of relief: "I'm going home and I'm going home. I'm so tired along the way... I'm the head, should I place these people first, or report to the government office first?"
Meng Du waved his head and said, "My dear mother, Da Yin (Magistrate) has already rested in the middle of the night. There are still a few brothers behind him. He will send them home from house to house, and then place the little ladies... Let the little ladies rest for a day tomorrow and relax. I will have a good sleep. When the day after tomorrow, we will go to the yamen together."
Immediately afterwards, Mengdu headed to Shi Dalang and bowed: "Dalang, my brothers have suffered more than half of their casualties, and I can't get anyone to watch you. Tomorrow I will send another brother to accompany you. Tonight, the little ladies will ask you."
After saying this, Mengdutou turned his head and left. A group of yamen runners pulled the corpse carts and roared into the dark streets. Only three carriages filled with abducted girls were left on the streets. They were said to be carriages, but they were used to calling them because the livestock that pulled the carts were cows that Mengdutou found from nowhere. These cows were probably from the farmland and were very docile... This means that those cows were even more stupid than Shi Dalang, and they would not step without urging them.
Everyone ran away. Tofu Xishi looked at the ox cart and urged Shi Chuan exhaustedly: "Dalang, my house is in the alley in front. I will go to the house to open the door first. You guard the ox cart, wait for me to ask my neighbors to help, and then lead the cart together."
Shi Chuan had never fiddled with the ox cart. He scratched his head and said worriedly: "It's late at night... Otherwise, let the women get out of the car and walk over, and the car will be thrown here, whoever you love."
Huan Niang showed her little face from the second car: "Oh, my brother also has times of worry - Huan Niang doesn't eat idle food. Huan Niang drove a ox cart when she was at home. I saw that the first car was an old cow. As long as I tied a belt into a rope and stringed the vehicle together, my brother led the old cow away in front, and the calf behind would follow one by one, and would never run around... Otherwise, I'll help my brother."
Huang E immediately exposed her head from behind and pulled Huan Niang back into the car: "Stop making trouble, you are such a young person, why are you causing trouble?"
Huan Niang poked her head out of the car again: "I have driven the cows at home. My second brother started herding cows when he was younger than me. Although Huan Niang was less powerful, she also helped her elder brother."
Doufu Xishi also inquired about the life experience of the abducted girl on the road. She sighed: "There is still a cow at home - this Huan Niang is also from a wealthy family, so pitiful. The one that is not recorded in the abducted girl is this little girl. I heard that she can't remember the name of her hometown, so why can't she go home again in her life?"
Shi Chuan silently shook her head. Later, several belts were handed out of the cart. Shi Chuan tied these belts into ropes, putting the ox cart one by one, and tied the mule he had obtained to one piece. After the work was done, Huan Niang came out of the cart excitedly and urged him with a stack of urging: "Brother, put me on the back of the ox."
Shi Chuan picked up the villain casually, and Huang E hurriedly shouted behind her: "Brother, hold down the horns of cows, be careful to scare the cow."
Huan Niang replied crisply: "It's not the case, it's good to have a bad temper... Be good, go forward."
Huanniang slapped the cow's neck with her little hands on the cow's back.
It was strange that Lao Niu shouted comfortably, and walked steadily, following Tofu Xishi and Shizhi into the alley.
