Chapter 25 Sweet Water Lane
Sweet Water Lane.
The dog and bastard sat in the newly purchased yard, holding a pot of wine and staring at the bright moon in the night sky. The moonlight was as calm as water. The lights and wine in the sweet water alley outside the yard could not sway the ripples in the yard.
Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound of footsteps outside the door. After a while, Riley walked into the yard with some food on his head.
"Why are you here?" The dog bastard put down the wine pot in his hand and stood up to greet him.
"How is this yard is good." Riley put the food on the stone table and looked at the night in the garden, feeling a little proud.
"There is quiet in the noise, deep and quiet, not bad." said the dog bastard.
"It's good that you're satisfied. I've spent a lot of time to get it at a low price for this yard." Riley opened the food wrapped in oil paper and was about to pour wine. When he remembered the important business, he slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot the important business. You can take this key, and I'll help you with the other two houses."
The dog bastard glanced at the key on the table and asked, "Very good, where are the houses of those two tables?"
"One is in Tianzifang opposite Bai Mansion on Dongcheng Street, and the other is in Yongningfang near Guihai Mansion on Beicheng Street. I spent more than 300 taels of silver to buy it." Riley was a little guilty. The bastard asked him to rent a house, but he saw that the three houses were of very good quality and very cheap. If he didn't buy it, he felt very sorry, so he decided to buy all the house without authorization, thinking that it would be safer to buy some real estate if there was more money. "You won't blame me for making the decision without authorization, I bought all the house."
"Hey... I won't blame you for this little thing. I'll buy the house for a while and I'll give it to you in the future. You can take these keys first, and you can help me find someone to clean up in those two houses." The bastard pushed the key on the table to Riley's head, and then took two ingots of gold from his arms and handed it to Riley's head.
"What are you doing? I, Riley, are really doing things for you. I am not a villain who is greedy for profit. You just went in and took back the key and gold, otherwise don't blame me for turning against you." Riley stared at Wangchuan and pushed the key and gold in front of him.
"Why are you talking, you're still anxious? Riley, you misunderstood me. I'm alone. How can I live in three houses? Someone has to take care of them. And these two ingots of gold are for you. You don't have to save money for me. I'm doing things for Bai Xiao and Li Xuan now, so how can they treat me badly."
The bastard poured two glasses of water and wine, and said with a smile: "You, you have been suffering from the first cry. How can I not understand you? We are all miserable people. Now that I have a wealth of money, how can I forget you? You should buy some clothes and don't be disheveled all day long. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. A group of brothers follow you to eat and drink, and you don't dress up yourself, and your brothers can't see the hope, and will you follow you wholeheartedly?"
"They dare! They were treating delicious food and drink recently, and took them to visit the kilns and prostitutes. I don't know how loyal they are now? I'm trying to come to see you today, but I stopped him." Riley tore a chicken leg and handed it to the bastard, and then tore another one and held it in his mouth.
The bastard was worried that Riley had no one to keep his mouth shut, so he reminded him: "That's right. Brothers are sincere in doing things for you, and you can't treat them badly. However, it's better not to reveal my true identity to them, otherwise it will be inconvenient to do things in the future."
"Don't worry, they only know that someone is sending them to do some work to find out the news, and they don't know the specific identity of you, the rich man." Riley slapped his head and promised.
"Well, that's fine." The dog bastard nodded.
Riley grabbed the roast chicken with one hand and the wine glass with the other, eating and drinking, "Eat it quickly...it will get cold in a while."
Riley's head was still stuffing food in his mouth, and he said vaguely. The bastard sat aside and couldn't help laughing and crying. While drinking wine, he recalled all the past. A few days ago, he was just a little groom, but now he could sit here and drink wine and enjoy the moonlight in the garden. Such comfort was something he had never imagined in his life. He sighed in his heart that the world was impermanent, the changes were all determined by heaven.
"By the way, look at this." Riley wiped the greasy clothes on his body with his head and took out another piece of paper from his arms.
"What is this?" The dog bastard put down his wine glass and took the white paper stained with oil.
"This is the news that my brothers came from the turtle man in Xiaoyao Tower. It is said that it is the test question that the girl Jinlan Appreciating Flowers and Green Qi will give tomorrow night. I don't know the word. Do you see if it is useful?" Riley took a sip of wine with two fingers, then grabbed a ball of braised beef and ate it.
The dog bastard looked at the words on the white paper and thought to himself that this is not a couplet, why are they all the first couplets?
"A cup of tea relieves the thirst of the Yuan Dynasty... I missed the spring and the autumn and was exhausted and the summer was dozed, and I couldn't wake up in the winter for three months... There are Taos in the mountains, Taoshushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushu
The bastard was shocked. These four couplets were more difficult than the other. Miss Luqi was so talented that she was indeed a famous scholar. He thought about it. Although Moyan Town is a small town on the border, there are many talented people. I believe these couplets would not stump them. Besides, Riley could get these questions, so Guihai's plan could naturally get them. Miss Luqi should have a backup plan, right?
"Are there only a few questions?" asked the dog bastard.
Riley sucked his fingers, poured the remaining white wine in the cup into his belly, and then said, "I heard that I'm going to improvise a poem on the spot."
"Yeah." It turns out that it is not that simple. I can write poetry on the spot, which is to focus on real talent and ability. It seems that Bai Xiao and Li Xuan should be reminded to prepare in advance, otherwise, I would probably return home without even seeing Miss Luqi at the flower viewing meeting.
The dog bastard looked up at the sky, thinking that Li Xuan and Bai Xiao had not yet rested, so they stood up and said, "You eat first, I'll go out to do something."
"Oh...why are you going out to do this late? Don't you eat this table of things?" Riley raised his head.
"You eat it." After saying that, the bastard left the yard.
"It's such a hard work." Riley looked at the dishes on the table, "If you don't eat, I'll eat them all." After that, he buried his head in the wind and swept the clouds again.
The Li Mansion is close to Tianshui Lane on Xicheng Street. The bastard decided to go to Bai Mansion on Dongcheng Street first, and then come back to report to Li Xuan.
