Chapter 84: New Year (Part 2)
According to the saying "High gods and immortals, slow ancestors", please be careful to ask ancestors to be slow, and the sacrifice time is also very long, and it will not end until the third update.
Only then did the women reappear. They used the soup of cooking blessings to cook rice cakes, put the noodles, and each person had a bowl, called "Sanfu", which was actually a midnight snack for those who had been working all night.
After eating the midnight snack, people went back to bed.
It is said that when I go to bed at the fourth day of the morning, I should get up very late the next day, but when I get up and go out before dawn, I see that my father sleeping outside is gone.
He looked carefully and saw that the bedding was neat and recalled that he had laid the quilt for him last night. He knew that his father had gotten up by himself, so he felt relieved.
He went back to the house and slept for a while. When he got up again after the sun was noon, he found that his father had not come back yet. Chen Si was finally anxious. He called Chen Jing and went out of the mansion to find him. When he arrived at the gate, the door told them that Master Chen had opened the gate before dawn, and his face was not abnormal.
"Didn't you tell me where to go?" Chen Si frowned.
"This villain really asked." Menzi smiled and said, "I said, 'Where are you going so early?' Mr. Chen said, 'Go to the old house for a walk."
"What old house?" Chen Jing asked.
"Our original home." Chen Si said softly: "It's close to the west of Yongchangfang."
The two of them walked out. As soon as they left the door, they saw Dad Yao's carriage parked outside the door. He actually came over and waited early in the morning...
Chen Mo was no longer polite this time, and greeted Dad Yao, then got into the car with Shen Jing, and the carriage slowly drove westward.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage walked to a street far away from the downtown city. The houses on this street were of great size, and every household was decorated with lights and colorful colors, and were full of joy. But there was a family in the east, with the walls covered with grass and a lot of wall skins falling off, revealing yellow-brown bricks. It was obviously desolate and abandoned for a long time, and it was incompatible with the atmosphere of celebration.
Silence made Dad Yao stop in front of the dilapidated yard. He looked through the car window and saw that the door was indeed open.
He helped the carriage get off the car and said to Chen Jing: "Three or four years ago, this is my home." Old Dad Yao was watching the car outside, and the two of them slowed down and walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chen He arguing with others with a blushing face, and there were a few strong men beside him staring at him.
Chen Jing grabbed Chen Jing with a silence and said softly: "Go and look for Ma Dianshi, his house is on the back street, you will find it as soon as you inquire." Chen Jing knew the priorities and nodded, "Be careful." Then he hurriedly retreated.
Chen Si put his footsteps heavy and walked in quickly. Chen He saw the reinforcements and immediately shouted: "Chaosheng, come and judge the truth quickly. How can this be done in the world?"
The person who opposed Chen He turned his head, but it was a short and fat man with a scarred face. When he saw that he was silent, he sniffed his yellow teeth and said, "Why? Do you want to fight?" The two strong men next to him also came forward and glanced at him maliciously.
Silently ignored them and asked his father softly: "Father, what happened?"
When Chen He saw his son coming, he seemed to have a pillar and said angrily: "I pawned the house to them at the price of forty taels of silver. Now I want to redeem it, but he said he wants four hundred taels of silver!"
The scar-faced man narrowed his eyes and said, "It was forty taels at the beginning, but now three years and three months have passed. Is there no interest?"
"Even if it's a three-point profit, it's less than forty taels!" Chen He said angrily.
"I'm sorry, the rules of my account are profitable and profitable. Three years and three months, I'll bring you four hundred taels." The man sneered: "If you can't afford to redeem, get out of here. Brothers are still waiting to go home for the New Year." This guy obviously didn't know Chen He.
"Who did you tell me to get out?" He stood in front of the man with a silent face.
"You..." The man pointed at Chen Si. Before he could say anything, he heard Chen Si coldly: "If you don't take back this hand immediately, I promise that you and your arms will be separated for the New Year."
The man was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "Boy, where are you from? How dare you talk to me like this?"
"A scholar." said silently: "What kind of hall are you from? Why not report it to me?"
"We are not from the hall, we are from the Yashang!" The scarred face grinned and said, "How are you afraid?" Yashang was originally an intermediary agency that matched transactions. Only then did this dynasty develop its scale and become an organization integrating inns, warehousing and circulation. It had a positive effect at first, but in the past few decades, it has gradually become a place where gangsters gather, and has fallen into a synonym for forced buying and selling, bullying the market, trafficking in the market, and lent usury, which made the people afraid and hate, and caused headaches for those in power.
"It's true that it's 'the feet of the car and ship shop, and you should be killed if you don't have any guilt." Chen Si said with a blank expression: "Are you Wang Laohu's person or He Laoqi's person?" There is almost no other business in the world, and it is more suitable for the gangsters than Yaxing, so the largest gang in the two counties divided the business in half.
The man was finally frightened, looked suspiciously and said in silence: "Who are you?"
"Just just a scholar." Chen said lightly: "But a scholar you absolutely cannot afford to offend."
"What a big tone?" the man laughed dryly, "What's your name?"
Flashing the floating ashes on the collar, Chen Si whispered: "My name is Chen Si."
The three men looked at each other and then laughed loudly, "I haven't heard of it."
"But you, Boss He Laoqi, still knows me." Chen Mo actually smiled and said, "Go back and ask, come again."
"I'm not scared." The scar-faced man said with a stern look on his face: "How do you know that I'm not Wang Laohu's person?"
"Because the tiger head will go up and down, no one doesn't know me." Silently said: "You will remember it after this time."
A scarred man suddenly had an incident in his mind... During the Chinese New Year last year, three tiger-headed thugs were found hanging naked on the big tree in front of the temple, and several other writers were thrown into the septic tank. Although there was no evidence that these two things were implicated, Boss He warned them that someone was taking revenge and forbid them to discuss this matter, as if they were very afraid.
