Chapter Nineteen

Chapter 19: It’s hard for others to do

"Old Master Li, I'm full of wine, it's time for me to go back, say goodbye!" Zheng Jianqiu stood up staggeringly, clasped his fists, and said goodbye to Li Qingquan.

It’s a pity that Li Qingquan slept soundly on the table, snoring and snoring, as if the table was a soft couch. Chen Wanrong had to stay guests for Li Qingquan: “Mr. Zheng has so many things to do, it’s rare to come once. Please stay here. Let’s have another glass of wine to have fun together in the evening.”

"There is time in the future. It is rare to have half a day of leisure in life. It is good to have half a day of leisure. There are still many things to do. I can't afford to keep it, but I can't afford to keep it." Zheng Jianqiu declined, and was full of busy worries.

He staggered and was about to fall to the ground. Chen Wanrong hurriedly hugged him. Zheng Jianqiu leaned halfway against Chen Wanrong and walked out: "Go back!"

In this regard, Chen Wanrong had to send him off, put his arm on his shoulder and walked out. As soon as he went out, he saw Xiao Linzi carrying a few friends loading the car. Chen Wanrong waved at him, and Xiao Linzi trotted over and asked, "Master Chen, do you have any instructions?"

"Brother Xiaolin is so serious, I don't have any instructions. Mr. Li needs help. Please bring someone over to see." In order to take care of Li Qingquan's face, Chen Wanrong did not say that he was drunk.

Xiaolinzi was a clever man. Chen Wanrong didn't say it, and he guessed it. He said to Chen Wanrong a little angrily: "Master Chen, you are the same. You know that the shopkeeper can't drink you, so you can still give it so much. Last time, the shopkeeper drank with you and had a headache for a day, but I don't know what happened this time."

The conscience of heaven and earth, he drank it by himself, and I didn’t pinch his nose, how did it count on my head? What could Chen Wanrong say? He could only take care of Li Qingquan: "I remember, I will advise him less next time."

Xiao Linzi was satisfied and thanked Chen Wanrong and took a friend to help Li Qingquan. Chen Wanrong carried Zheng Jianqiu to his carriage. His coachman also saw it and hurried over. Seeing Zheng Jianqiu who was so drunk, he looked at Chen Wanrong in surprise: "Who got the shopkeeper drunk? The shopkeeper has a lot of money, and who has such a lot of alcohol?"

Chen Wanrong is used to drinking modern high-altitude wine, and he has a lot of alcohol. Zheng Jianqiu has ten or so many, which is not a match. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Old Master Zheng has been busy all his life, and he has rarely had half a day of leisure time, so he doesn't have to think about anything. Isn't this very good?"

The coachman gave Chen Wanrong a blank look. Although he didn't say anything, Chen Wanrong understood what he meant, that was to say less sarcastic words. The two of them worked together to carry Zheng Jianqiu to his beautiful carriage. When they arrived in front of the carriage, the coachman pushed open the door. Chen Wanrong helped Zheng Jianqiu into the carriage. There was a soft couch and an exquisite table in the carriage with a few thread-bound books on it. I thought he was reading books while he was on the way to pass the time.

Zheng Jianqiu was as soft as a pile of mud. Chen Wanrong supported him and wanted to put him on the soft couch and lie down. Zheng Jianqiu hooked Chen Wanrong's neck like a lover and stammered: "I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I can still drink a thousand cups."

"Shopkeeper, you're like this..." The coachman wanted to persuade Zheng Jianqiu, but scolded Zheng Jianhe: "Don't interrupt me if I talk to you. Brother Chen, please come to my house tomorrow and I'll give you a reply."

He was talking about his old house. It was surprising that he didn't forget this after being drunk. Chen Wanrong smiled and comforted him, "Old man, don't worry about this. Let's talk about it later. You can rest first."

It’s not that I’m not in a hurry, but now I can’t bear to mention this matter now. I didn’t expect Chen Wanrong’s kindness to be treated as a donkey’s liver. Zheng Jianqiu rolled his eyes and said angrily: “I’m drunk and understand. Although I’m drunk, I know very well. You have to do this quickly, and you can’t delay it. That’s it! My home is in the county town. When you enter the city and walk left, you see an old locust tree. That’s my home.”

"Okay, old man, I remember it." Chen Wanrong finished speaking, and Zheng Jianqiu fell asleep with his head tilted and leaned against Chen Wanrong's shoulder. His nose was slightly breathing, and he was sleeping sweetly, as if Chen Wanrong was his bed.

Chen Wanrong smiled bitterly, carefully put him on the soft couch, pulled him over the quilt, then got out of the car, wiped his forehead, and felt a little sweaty. Helping Zheng Jianqiu was even more tiring than drinking.

"Okay." Chen Wanrong jumped out of the car and said to the coachman.

The coachman said a polite word to Chen Wanrong and drove the carriage. This sentence was very stiff and mechanical, and obviously inappropriate. He poured the shopkeeper into a pile of mud and asked him to thank him sincerely. It was too difficult for people to do so.

Zheng Jianqiu left and Li Qingquan fell asleep. It was time for the end of the song. Chen Wanrong found Xiaolinzi and asked about the situation. Fortunately, Li Qingquan just slept with his head covering. Chen Wanrong gave a few words of advice and explained some polite words before leaving.

Today's work has been done, and Chen Wanrong thought it was time to go home. When passing through He's printing shop, he wanted to make soap. This place and manpower are indispensable. If you want to hire a manpower, you have to set some terms for them. Printing something is necessary. He quickly walked into the printing shop. He San was dozing off behind the counter. Chen Wanrong coughed, and He San woke up in shock. When he saw that Chen Wanrong was impressed by him, he smiled on his face: "Master Chen, what wind has blown you? Please sit down quickly, please sit down quickly."

"He is a polite shopkeeper." Chen Wanrong went straight to the point and said, "I want to ask you to print something for me."

He San moved a chair and asked Chen Wanrong to sit down: "Master Chen, please give me instructions, I will do your business for you."

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to hire some people to make a document with them. If there is a dispute in the future, there will be a certificate."

"That's it, that's it!" He Sann agreed.

Chen Wanrong pondered for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper He, my handwriting is not as elegant as possible, so please help me write it down." He Sanying said, preparing his pen and ink. Only then did Chen Wanrong oral theorize according to the "Labor Contract" in modern society.

After leaving the school gate, Chen Wanrong has signed many "Labor Contracts". Although he can't memorize it, he can still remember the general meaning. Choose some applicable terms and write them down.

Modern labor contracts are much more merciful than those contracts in the Tang Dynasty. He Sanyue became more and more frightened when he heard this. He kept looking at Chen Wanrong. Finally, he couldn't help it and asked, "Master Chen, are you looking for a friend or a father?"

What is this? Chen Wanrong's eyes rolled and he stared at He San. He San quickly explained with a smile: "Mr. Chen, don't be too careful. I mean you are too kind. If the shopkeeper doesn't speak, how dare you rest? You're fine, as long as they do four hours of work, what else can you do if you don't hire your father?"

Four hours is the modern eight-hour working system. I rely on products and strength to make money, not on squeezing the worker's sweat. Chen Wanrong knew that in his concept, the worker had no freedom and no rights, and everything was held in the palm of the shopkeeper's hand. Even the wages were "rewarded" by the shopkeeper, not earned by himself. It was difficult to let him accept his ideas, so he simply did not explain: "Just print as I said."

He San just couldn't hear it, so he spoke more. It was more important to meet Chen Wanrong's request. He hurriedly agreed and then wrote down. After Chen Wanrong finished speaking, he browsed it again. Seeing that there was no problem, he said: "That's it."

He San said with a word, and hurriedly handed over to his men to do it, accompanying Chen Wanrong to have tea and kill time. The Tang Dynasty used woodblock printing and had to re-engrave the plate. It took a lot of time. Chen Wanrong had a tea for a while and was so bored that he might as well go out for a walk and pass the time. Farewell to He San for a while and go out for a walk on the street.

Although Luojiadian is a small place, it is still prosperous and charming. Chen Wanrong was walking around and suddenly hugged him in the waist. This man was too strong and strong. Chen Wanrong almost couldn't even breathe. He was shocked and shouted: "Who?"

"Brother, it's me!" A loud voice sounded in his ears, as if he was hitting a gong, which made Chen Wanrong's ear drum buzz. He turned his head and saw that it was no one else, but a pair of extra-large eyes.

The oversized eyes were flashing with a light of surprise. He looked at Chen Wanrong. Niu's big eyes let go of Chen Wanrong, patted Chen Wanrong a few times on his shoulder, and said happily: "Brother, you have made it easy for me to find!"

This was awkward and Chen Wanrong was confused all of a sudden and asked, "Brother Niu, why do you want to find me?"

"What else can happen? Of course it's for blue and white!" Niu Dayan said a little while, which made Chen Wanrong confused and had to ask again: "What's wrong with blue and white?"

Chen Wanrong thought that something was wrong with blue and white horses. If something happened to such a good horse, although it was not his own, he felt very distressed. Niu Dayan's answer made Chen Wanrong urge to beat him. He smiled and said, "Brother, it's nothing big, blue and white are good. Brother, this is not the place to speak. Go to my place and I will tell you in detail."

There must be a hidden truth, so Chen Wanrong had to agree: "Okay."

"Brother, please!" Niu Dayan and Chen Wanrong head and shoulders, head and shoulders straight towards the Mule and Horse Market.

In Mule and Horse Market, Chen Wanrong is an old tourist destination. As usual, it is still in and out of people. The business is good, and there is no abnormality.

Niu Dayan took Chen Wanrong to his house, moved the chair and asked Chen Wanrong to sit down, poured Chen Wanrong a cup of tea, then sat down and stared at Chen Wanrong without saying anything for a long time.

The most itchy thing about the dull gourd, Chen Wanrong had to ask: "Brother Niu, what's going on?"

Niu Dayan sighed and then said, "Brother, since you left, I have imagined that a good horse like blue and white is really destined and abandoned by others? Perhaps it is because of my horse-like skills that I am not difficult to miss blue and white! I was unwilling to accept it, so I went to invite a horse-like master. Brother, I didn't tell you that this horse-like master might be. He said that a good horse is definitely a good horse. He is this, and I am this."

After a vague statement, he gave a thumbs up and stretched his little finger to brag about the Master Xiangma. Chen Wanrong was concerned about the fate of blue and white porcelain, not the Master Xiangma, and asked hurriedly: "What did he say? Is it okay?"

"Blue and white horses are good horses, there is no problem..." Niu Dayan nodded. Blue and white birds were abandoned because of a red spot in his throat. Chen Wanrong sighed at its fate. When he heard this, he was happy and breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately felt relieved.

However, Chen Wanrong felt a little too early, so he had to say behind Niu Dayan: "If there were no that spot."

Chen Wanrong was choked and wanted to say that he was not capable of talking nonsense. He only heard Niu Dayan sigh and said something that was enough to shock Chen Wanrong: "Master Xiangma said that horses like blue and white are not only bad for the owner, but also bad for anyone who raises him. It is best to..." His right hand made a neck-wiping action, which meant that it was best to kill.

"That won't work!" Chen Wanrong retorted loudly without thinking.

Niu Dayan admired Chen Wanrong's words very much: "Brother, I know that you value blue and white. Blue and white have always been abandoned, and only you really value it. This is its honor. I thank you for your behalf!" He knelt in front of Chen Wanrong with a loud bang.

This was the second time he knelt down to Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Brother Niu, please say something well, don't do this. Get up quickly."

Niu Dayan did not stand up, but knelt on the ground blankly: "Brother, you are the only one who can save blue and white flowers, so you should ask for blue and white flowers. Brother, I said that blue and white flowers are yours, and you can get it as long as you want, but I am a businessman!"

His words were tactful, meaning that he could no longer help Chen Wanrong raise him, and he still had to do business. Raising something like blue and white is not good for him.

In Chen Wanrong's eyes, this is all far-fetched and not worth a joke at all, but in the eyes of Niu Dayan, the ancients, it was a very great event. It was already rare for him to slaughter the blue and white porcelain without a single knife.

Chen Wanrong was embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he said, "Brother Niu, blue and white are yours, and you have to make the decision on this matter."

Niu Dayan loudly argued: "Brother, I said that blue and white are yours, blue and white are yours! Brother, if you don't want blue and white, I only have, only..." Chen Wanrong also understood that it was going to kill blue and white.

Chen Wanrong liked blue and white from the bottom of his heart. It would be a pity if he killed Niu Dayan. He thought for a while and said, "Brother Niu, you offer the offer. I will pay you the money."

"Brother, I can't ask for money, nor can I ask for a single child." Niu Dayan flatly refused: "Brother, thank you for asking for blue and white, thank you! I have raised blue and white for a young age. I like it very much. It is my child! I am relieved to follow his brother who values ​​it. Brother, please be bowed by Blue and White Dad!" His forehead touched the ground, making a thud sound.

Chen Wanrong understood his mood. If it were him, he would not kowtow. At least he would say a lot of thanks: "Brother Niu, then I will take the blue and white flowers away." This is to drive the ducks on the shelves, and Chen Wanrong had to do so.

Niu Dayan jumped from the ground and said happily: "Okay! Brother, please come with me." He went out first, and Chen Wanrong followed.

The two of them came to the stable, and Blue and White was still tied to the edge of the groove. They shook their heads and tails at Niu Dayan, and were very intimate. Niu Dayan went over to touch the horse's head, and was reluctant to leave. He comforted softly: "Blue and White, don't blame your father, it's not that his father is cruel, but that his father has no choice. Dad wants to support a whole family, so he has to be cruel!"

He regards himself as Blue and White's father, and he will definitely treat him as a madman if he changes someone else. Chen Wanrong doesn't have this idea, but is moved. A cow and horse dealer sells so many cows and horses. It's an anomaly that he can have such feelings for Blue and White.

Blue and white porcelain seemed to understand something, raised their heads and whistled with infinite grief and anger, as if they were reluctant to leave Niu Big Eyes. Niu Big eyes were tearful and stroked Blue and White neck: "Blue and White, Blue and White, obedient! Dad knows that you are reluctant to leave Dad, but Dad really has no choice. Brother Chen is kind-hearted and valued you. He is the only person in the world who values ​​you. You must have a good life with Brother Chen. Blue and White must be good!"

Niu Dayan talked endlessly, as if there were thousands of words to say.

Niu Dayan untied the reins, and the irritable blue and white porcelain no longer got irritable. He walked to Chen Wanrong and his horse's head rubbed against Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong stroked the horse's head: "Blue and white porcelain are obedient, I'll take you home."

Putting the reins in Chen Wanrong's hand, Niu Dayan pulled blue and white ears and reminded him again: "Blue and white, listen to your father and follow Brother Chen."

Chen Wanrong took the reins and left the stable. Niu Dayan hurried back to the house, took out a good pair of saddles, helped Chen Wanrong put them on, fastened the straps, and sorted out the stirrups: "Brother Chen, please!"

While stepping on the horse stirrup, Chen Wanrong got on the horse and clasped his fists at Niu Dayan: "Brother Niu, say goodbye!" As soon as he knocked on the horse stirrup, the blue and white porcelain did not run away, but kept sniffing around Niu Dayan. The horse's head was grinding around Niu Dayan's body, very intimate and extremely reluctant to leave, which made Niu Dayan almost burst out of tears, and hurriedly hugged the horse's head and caressed it gently.

After a while, the blue and white neighed, like a dragon's roar, and it went straight to the sky for a long time. It spread out all four hooves and flew away. It was not the horse tied to the stable for a moment. It was fierce and fast. It was as fast as flying. Looking at the eyes of the bull's big eyes, I felt that there was a ray of blue smoke passing by, which soon disappeared from my sight.
