Chapter 434 435 Accomplished
When Jixiang returned to Kyoto, he went to the Tongzhou Guild Hall and found Xiaojiu, a boy he knew well in the guild hall, to inquire about Laidi and his wife.
Xiaojiu smiled and said to Jixiang: "Brother Xiang, the Li Juren your aunt married was not good. I don't know why I was drinking here a few days ago. I heard that the shopkeeper ordered the waiter to send him back after he was so drunk. Then I found a job, probably at the head of the Ministry of Rites, serving as a teacher to his two grandsons."
"Then Li Juren is still here to get drunk?" Jixiang asked with a frown.
The waiter curled his lips and said, "I've already bought it to get drunk, but I heard his mother-in-law and the mother-in-law of Zheng Ju's family next door talking about your aunt two days ago. Li Juren was so angry that she hid in the room and cried. She said that Li Juren was indifferent to her, and the two of them often quarreled. Oh! I heard that your aunt is pregnant."
Jixiang frowned when he heard this. After a while, he took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and put it in Xiaojiu's hand. "Xiaojiu, help me watch Li Ju's family. If the couple is quarreling, ignore him. If there is any If you have any other bad things, go to me or Brother Cai on Dongda Street."
Xiaojiu pinched the silver in her hand, nodded and bowed with a smile, "Brother Xie Xiang, I will help you pay attention."
Jixiang patted Xiaojiu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, Brother Xiang won't treat you badly."
Ji Xiang came out of the guild hall and drove through the alley behind to find Han San. He thought to himself: Miss Gu is just asking for trouble. If you like scholars, you can tell your wife and uncle! Asking them to help find a solid and reliable scholar to marry is better than marrying someone like Li Fengqi who holds a bowl and eats meat, puts down chopsticks and scolds the mother, and is different from what she looks like!
The car arrived at a large teahouse diagonally across from Han San's house in Tongqian Lane. The waiter led the carriage in attentively and tied it to a wooden stake. Jixiang ordered a bowl of jasmine tea and sat under the pergola and drank it slowly, smelling the fragrance in the tea bowl. of light jasmine scent.
After finishing the tea, he didn't see Han San. Ji Xiang was about to leave because he didn't want to wait any longer, when he saw Han San coming out of the courtyard sleepily with his shoes on.
Han San's eyes lit up when he saw Ji Xiang sitting in the teahouse opposite. He still walked slowly under the pergola, walked to Ji Xiang and pulled up a bamboo chair to sit down. He glanced at Ji Xiang and smiled proudly.
Ji Xiang glanced at him and said, "Looking at your proud look, is it done?"
"It's done," Han San leaned close to Ji Xiang, "I have been watching the boy in Xiaoyao Tower for two or three hours today. I saw with my own eyes that the boy was coaxed by the waiter to go to the shopkeeper to borrow money, and then he was coaxed upstairs by the waiter. The elegant room,
You don't know, the matchmaker in the private room is very seductive, and her dice throwing skills are superb. She can throw whatever points he wants. If he is seduced by her, he will be doomed. As expected, he will not be able to escape. Two hours later, the boy was coaxed to borrow money again. I saw that he was hooked and could not take off the hook, so I turned around and went home to sleep for a while, planning to go back and see if the boy was gone. "
After hearing this, Ji Xiang had a relieved expression on his face, "Okay, you pay attention, and when Xiaoyao upstairs comes to collect debts, spread the news, and I will come to you then."
"Yes, Brother Xiang, don't worry, I promise to let everyone in Yushitai and Xueshi Lane know." Han San whispered.
Ji Xiang nodded, took out a ten-tael silver note and gave it to Han San, "Take it to supplement your family income. Don't let your old mother and your wife do the work of washing, sewing and mending."
Han San took the banknote, lowered his head, his nose was sore and his eyes were red, "Brother Xiang, it's because I don't have the ability. When my father was alive, the family was fine at that time, and he allowed me to study for a few days, so I I'm not a student. I dozed off when I saw the dark words in the book. I went to learn a craft but didn't succeed. After my father got sick and passed away, the family's financial situation declined, so I started this business. Fortunately, my wife didn't dislike me. , despite the opposition of my old father-in-law, you still married me, otherwise I will be single."
Ji Xiang patted Han San and said, "You know that if you want to be good, you should treat others well. You go back and discuss it with your mother and daughter-in-law. If they agree, you can write it in writing. I will take you to see the master, the Feng family You have to be careful about things like that and don’t get caught.”
"Hey!" Han San agreed, holding the banknote and putting it in his pocket. After Jixiang had gone far, he walked towards the small courtyard opposite happily.
Entering the yard, there was a gray-haired woman and a pale and thin woman. They were scrubbing and washing clothes by the well, and there was a little girl with pigtails helping with the washing.
Seeing Han San come in, the mother-in-law shouted angrily: "You go out when you wake up. You wander around all day long and don't know how to find something to do. How far do you want to go?"
Han San glanced at his mother, took out the banknote from his pocket, and handed it to Mrs. Han with a smile, "Mom, Haitang, you see this is given to me by my boss, asking me to help you with your family expenses, don't you?" Let’s starch and wash clothes again.”
Mrs. Han looked at the banknote in Han San's hand, wiped it with her waistband, took the banknote and looked at it, then looked at Han San in surprise, "Tell me, did you do something bad? Why did you do it?" Want to give you a banknote?"
Han San didn't look very good, but he married a wife who was pretty and pretty. She stared at him with almond-shaped eyes and looked at him dissatisfied, "Master, you can't do things that are unconscionable. If you do too many immoral things, you will be punished."
Han San stood up straight and said seriously: "Mom, Haitang, I didn't do anything immoral. I hooked up with a family... That's what happened. The master said that you need to write a letter based on personal experience." Dare to use me and ask me to come back to discuss with you, what do you think?"
Mrs. Han glanced at Han San and Han San's daughter-in-law, "I'm already buried in the dirt. You guys still have a long time to live. You two can make the best of it. After you write the document of self-reliance, you will be someone else's slave. If you encounter Those whose masters are kind will have an easy life, but those whose masters are mean and vicious will even lose their lives."
Han San hurriedly said: "Mom, Haitang, I have inquired about it. The owner of that family is kind. There are not many people in the family, and he is good to his servants. You believe me."
Haitang looked at Han San and sighed, "Have you already promised me?"
Han San said honestly: "I agreed. Brother Xiang asked me to go home and discuss it with you, saying that you must also agree."
Haitang looked at her daughter, who was helping to wash clothes, and then at her son, who was playing in the corner with mud. She looked at Han San and said, "Do you really think that family is nice?"
Han San looked at the two of them and said, "Mom, Haitang, this family is really good. As you know, there have been people who have been willing to use me before, but I have never agreed."
Haitang tugged on Mrs. Han's sleeve, "Mom, what the head of the house said is true. It seems like this family is really good. How about we agree to it?"
"Okay, let's write it!" Mrs. Han nodded.
