Chapter 30 The unexpected spring breeze (please collect and read)
Next.
Wei Xin made some more pleasantries and was concerned about where Wei Tu lived, his daily food, and how he was getting along with the Li family.
For these.
Wei Tu didn’t have much to hide, but he still thought for a while before answering and considered his answer.
For example, Li Yaozu once coveted the apricot flower, but he chose to hide it.
"Second aunt still has some private money in her hand. I will lend it to you temporarily to use it as Xinghua's ransom money, or she may go there in person..."
“It’s hard to keep Xinghua working as a maid in Li’s house.”
"As for the accommodation, there are many guest rooms in Huangzhai. I will make the decision to choose one for you and your family."
Having said this, Wei Xin raised her eyebrows and twirled her handkerchief, and her face suddenly became more fierce and aggressive. She snorted and said quickly:
"Li Yaozu is a sharp person. You couldn't have paid so much money to redeem your life at that time. How dare he ask for eleven or two or five yuan?"
"Even if it's eight or two, he's still making a profit here, and he wants to take advantage of this to make you owe him a favor."
As a business woman, Wei Xin had been exposed to the influence of Huang Zhai over the years and was extremely sensitive to the market price of slaves. She could tell the "treachery" of Li Yaozu and his wife at a glance.
“Master Li and the eldest lady of the Li family were willing to allow me to redeem my life without making any difficulties. Afterwards, they recommended me to go to Master Shan..."
“This is a small profit, so there’s no need to worry about it too much.”
Wei Tu shook his head, not wanting Wei Xin to continue to study this aspect in detail.
Three years ago, he estimated that his ransom money was about ten taels, which might be more or less than ten taels.
How much this is, it is difficult for him to estimate, because it depends entirely on the conscience of the Li family.
Different from going to a store to buy goods, when he decided to redeem himself with silver, he was not qualified to bargain and could only let Li Yaozu and his wife set the price.
"Okay, Brother Wei, let's not talk about this anymore. Look at Xinghua's redemption..." Wei Xin asked with a smile.
“I don’t need to bother my second aunt to worry about this matter.”
Wei Tu shook his head and said, "If my nephew wanted to borrow money to redeem Xinghua's deed, he would have asked Master Shan when he was in the Shan family."
The green horse is worth a hundred taels, and Shan Wuju is willing to lend it to him. The money to redeem Xinghua will probably not reach ten taels of silver... Wei Tu believes that as long as he asks, Shan Wuju will definitely lend it to him. .
Not only Shan Wuju would lend him the money, but anyone who wanted to lend him the money, even Shan Fang, who was "enemies" with him, would be extremely happy to learn about this.
Redeem his wife and house for him…
This is a huge favor!
“Second aunt is reckless.” When Wei Tu heard what Wei Tu said, her smile froze slightly, and all the aggressiveness in her body disappeared.
—She could hear the alienation in Wei Tu's words.
I would rather borrow Shan Wuju than lend her. The meaning is obvious. In Wei Tu's heart, she, the second aunt, is far inferior to Shan Wuju.
“I hunt geese all day long, but in the end I am still blinded by the geese pecking me.” Wei Xin sighed to himself.
At the end of today's martial arts competition, she thought that Wei Tu recognized her as a relative without any objection, in order to gain access to the Huang family's wealth...
However, after learning that Master Wei Tu was a solo martial artist, this idea immediately disappeared in her mind and disappeared without a trace.
The resources of a martial arts scholar, even if they are not as good as those of the Huang family, are not much different.
Those connections in the official circles are even more unmatched by the Huang family.
Wei Tu, a martial arts disciple, has no need or need to shamelessly come to curry favor with the Huang family.
Wei Tu was able to recognize her as a relative, probably because she didn't do everything right back then.
"Brother Wei, the dishes have been prepared in the kitchen. Come with your second aunt. This is a celebration banquet specially prepared for you." Wei Xin covered up the embarrassment very well and ended the topic on the grounds that the celebration banquet was about to begin. .
Even if her natal nephew is no longer close to her, as long as he recognizes the relationship and gains status, her status in the Huang family will also benefit from this, and everything will rise.
…
After finishing the celebration feast.
Wei Tu did not stay in Huang's house for long, saying goodbye to Mr. Huang on the grounds that he needed to prepare for the exam.
After hearing this, Mr. Huang found it difficult to persuade Wei Tu to stay with him, so he asked the housekeeper to arrange a carriage to take Wei Tu back to Li's house.
Wei Tu thought for a while and did not refuse.
—Li Yaozu was stingy in character and thought that letting him stay for the night was a great kindness. Having the Huang family's carriage send him off could also dispel Li Yaozu's delusions.
It is a kindness for a rich householder to take in a poor person to stay with him.
But taking in someone of the same status as yours is just social interaction and etiquette, not kindness.
“The guard warriors stay behind.”
Outside the Huangzhai Gate, just when Wei Tu got into the carriage and was about to leave, a rough voice suddenly sounded outside the curtain.
This voice, when heard, is that of a martial artist who is also practicing martial arts, full of energy.
“Master Ruan?” Wei Tu opened the curtain of the carriage and took a look outside. He quickly recognized the identity of the person who made the noise.
Although he only met Master Ruan once, the health-preserving skills that Master Ruan gave him were so important that three years later, he still remembered Master Ruan's appearance in his mind.
“Back then, Ruan had a lot of contempt for the martial arts masters who were studying..."
“Ruan also often blamed himself afterwards.”
"It's me... I can't see Mount Tai. I hope that Master Wei will not remember the faults of villains..."
Master Ruan's face turned red, he hesitated for a moment, then he bowed deeply to Wei Tu with his fists clasped, and apologized loudly.
Warriors are brave and fierce.
Based on the humiliation he had given Wei Tu three years ago, it was hard for him to imagine... what kind of harsh blow Wei Tu would have dealt to him if he had met him in the third "competition".
By then, not only will his reputation be ruined, but he may also be seriously injured by Wei Tu and paralyzed for life.
When I think of this.
Master Ruan was frightened.
So for the sake of his own reputation and life, he stopped the carriage at this moment and shamelessly apologized to Wei Tu.
the other side.
After seeing Martial Master Ruan perform this great salute, Wei Tu was startled for a moment. After recovering, he said: "Wei doesn't care about this matter. I would also like to ask Martial Master Ruan to stand up. No need to be too polite..."
That year.
He didn't care about Master Ruan's humiliation, because he and Master Ruan were just strangers.
What really matters to my heart is my cousin Huang Yuanshan's contempt for his cousin.
The feeling of being rejected by others is not pleasant.
But forgiveness is forgiveness.
Wei Tu was not tolerant enough to get out of the carriage and help Master Ruan's prostrate body, and then said some words of comfort.
He is not a virtuous gentleman, nor does he care about the king's pursuit of hegemony, so there is no need to treat virtuous corporals.
After finishing speaking, Wei Tu lowered the curtain and signaled to the coachman to hurry up and not to stay.
“Things I cared about back then.”
“To this day...I don’t care that much anymore...”
After the carriage traveled a certain distance, Wei Tu opened the curtain.
The night is as cool as water.
Slightly chilly.
Wei Tu spread out the five fingers of his right hand, touched the sharp spring breeze rushing outside the car, and then touched his cheek with his hand.
Cheeks are slightly cold.
There is no longer the burning feeling that I had three years ago.
