Chapter 1567 No One Is an Outsider Here
Liu Wei opened it, and there was a piece of paper sandwiched on the first page. It said, ten miles to the west, the third door.
Liu Wei picked up the scripture and asked Mr. Yang, "How to sell it?"
The old gentleman was stunned for a moment, then finally put down the storybook in his hand and stood up from his chair: "Want to buy it?"
Liu Wei smiled: "Take care of business, there are not many people coming in and out of your place all day."
The old gentleman had a toothache, snorted and said, "Ten cents."
Liu Wei paid the money and took away the Lotus Sutra. When he was at the door, he saw a mule cart passing by.
It's not even ten miles away. It would be silly to walk there. It must be a taxi.
Liu Wei turned around and asked Mr. Yang, "Where can I rent a car nearby?"
The old gentleman lazily retracted into his chair, raised his hand and pointed to the right: "There is a car dealership at the corner."
Liu Wei and Rong Leng went to rent a car. As soon as they went over, they saw an acquaintance. The man was dark and thin, looking young, but very capable. He was feeding the camels.
Liu Wei called the boss, and the old man sitting in the shed drinking tea raised his voice and asked, "Young master, do you want to rent a car?"
This sound alarmed the young black man who was feeding the camel. The young man turned his head and saw that he was the guest who had just arrived yesterday. He smiled brightly and said, "It's you. Are you two young masters leaving? Are you leaving the city?" Or go back to the dock?"
Since they are acquaintances, the old man didn't make any fuss. He pointed at the black guy and said, "Since he is your guest, you better do it."
The black guy smiled, put on his camel, and called the two guests to come up.
After getting in the car, Liu Wei gave Rong Leng a wink, but Rong Leng remained expressionless.
The couple was silent, and the black guy asked: "Where are you two going?"
Liu Wei asked with a half-smile, "You don't know where we are going?"
The black guy laughed loudly, raised his whip and urged the camel forward without asking about his destination.
When they arrived at the street ten miles west, the black guy stopped the camel and pointed to them: "Ning Mansion, go to the third house, just knock on the door."
Liu Wei looked around and said with a smile: "We also went to Ning Mansion yesterday, but it was not this way."
The black guy said, "This is the back door. Isn't the front door an eyesore?"
Liu Wei asked: "Whose eyes are you attracting?"
The black guy scratched his head: "Don't you know better, Master? Don't make things difficult for me."
Liu Wei stopped asking, got out of the car, and entered the street.
As soon as the third door knocked, the inside opened. It was none other than the Ning Taigong they had seen yesterday. The old man was already in his seventies and eighty years old, but his physique seemed to be very good. He led them inside with a smile.
Today, the old lady did not just see them in the yard like yesterday, but took them to the door of the study. He had no intention of going in, but knocked on the door for them.
Then, the study door was opened, and inside, a middle-aged woman wearing ordinary peasant women's clothes came out first, shouting enthusiastically: "We're here, come in quickly, come in quickly, it's sunny outside, I'm in the house There's Tremella tea in there, just in time to relieve the heat."
Liu Wei and Rong Leng looked at each other and were pulled into the room by the woman. When they entered, they discovered that there were other people inside.
Some were dressed as farmers, some were dressed as students, and a child came over wearing a college robe and was lying on a chair writing policy papers.
The woman took Liu Wei's hand, walked over and pushed the child away, saying: "Go over there and write. Where is your father? Let your father take you back. The adults here are talking about business."
Holding his books and pen and ink in his arms, the child looked for another chair dejectedly and said without raising his head: "Dad hasn't taken over the booth yet, I'll come later."
The woman patted the child again and said, "Why don't you say hello and call me brother or sister?"
The child raised his eyes and looked at the two men in front of him. His eyes were tangled and swaying. After holding it in for a long time, he didn't know which one to call his sister. He could only lower his head and continue writing with a complicated face, pretending that he was an ignorant child.
As expected, the woman looked displeased: "Why are you so rude..."
The child simply dropped the pen and ink and ran away, running into the arms of a kind-hearted old lady on the other side.
The old lady hugged the little boy, looked at Liu Wei, and introduced herself: "My surname is Li, and my husband's surname is Yun. However, he passed away young. Now I am the oldest in the family, so they called me here. You Just call me Mrs. Li."
Liu Wei called out respectfully: "Mrs. Li."
Rong Leng also nodded slightly.
Mrs. Li didn't care about Rong Leng's attitude. She only looked at Liu Wei with her eyes full of gentleness: "Sit down and don't be restrained. We are not outsiders here."
The woman quickly pulled Liu Wei to sit down, and brought her and Rong Leng some white fungus tea. The two of them were holding teacups, but they didn't know what to say about the current situation.
The woman also noticed that the atmosphere was awkward, and hurriedly said: "My surname is also Li. I am Mrs. Li's maternal cousin. My husband's surname is also Yun, but his stall will not be closed until a moment later. Now I haven’t come here yet, my husband’s family is doing business at home, so just call me Sister Yun Jiu.”
Liu Wei called again: "Sister-in-law Yun Jiu."
Sister-in-law Yun Jiu was a chatty person. There were seven or eight people sitting in the room, including boys and girls. She introduced them all, and finally pointed at the little boy who was still struggling with the names of his brothers and sisters and said: "This is my youngest son. His name is Dog eggs.”
The corners of Liu Wei's mouth twitched.
That Goudan had already raised his head and shouted: "My name is Yun Mo, from Wen Mo. My third cousin got it for me!"
Sister-in-law Yun Jiu still had the same smile and said, "My name is Yun Goudan."
Little Dog Dan was so aggrieved that he looked up at the student-looking young man in the room and shouted: "Third cousin!"
The man who was called his third cousin just replied indifferently: "Your mother is right. You are still young, so you can make a living by using a bad name. When you are older, you can call me by your full name."
Little Dog Dan bit the corner of his mouth angrily, and threw his head into Old Mrs. Li's arms angrily.
Old Mrs. Li patted the little guy on the back rarely, coaxed the child, and said to Liu Wei: "You have been here all the way, don't listen to these people's chatter, you drink tea first, let the Yunjiu family Tell you slowly."
Sister-in-law Yun Jiu explained Liu Wei's doubts with a smile. The sister-in-law spoke in detail, first talking about the gift of the book: "Actually, we have been trying to find Mr. Ji for these years. But Mr. Ji has been in office for many years and traveled around the world. We really can't find him. No, the cat in Beijing a while ago Dan came back with a letter saying that Mr. Ji had returned to Beijing, so we thought about going to see him.
But we were afraid that if we went to look for it directly, our whereabouts would be exposed, which would cause complications. When we were hesitating, the Prime Minister suddenly returned to his hometown. Only then did we think of this roundabout way, and handed a book to the top, thinking that Taifu Ji was the old man. Bachelor, you should be interested in Xiao Shengren's books. "
Not only was he interested, his grandfather hugged the bookie every day and even slept with him in his arms.
Liu Wei thought of this and asked: "Is that book extremely rare?" Sister-in-law Yun Jiu nodded: "It is rare for outsiders, but there is a copy in our ancestral hall of the Li family. I asked his third cousin to read the book. The person who copied it was the grandmother of the Li family who was a maid of the Xiao Sheng family, so this copy of "Zhi Zhi Li Wen's Theory of Ten Numbers of Rewards" has always been kept by our Li family."
