Chapter 126 Abacus

"Old Wu, are you very Wu's sister-in-law without children?" Liu Lin recalled that it seemed that Lao Wu had never mentioned his child. Normally, he should have more than one child at his age.

"Alas, I actually had a child." Lao Wu looked a little sad. He checked the food boxes and said, "There was a son who was forcibly dragged to join the army five years ago. After leaving, there was no message. Last year, I heard that his team was besieged by others and persisted for three months under the lack of food and grass, and finally waited. Rescued reinforcements. While the reinforcements rescued them, they also brought a lot of food, including even white-faced steamed buns. Of course, this was also to commend them by their superiors. My son hasn't eaten a few mouthfuls of white steamed buns since he was a child, and he has been hungry for so long. He feels thirsty and drinks a lot of water. The steamed bread swelled after encountering water and swelled my son to death. Alas..." Lao Wu sighed and couldn't speak anymore.

Liu Lin regretted asking Lao Wu this question, which aroused his sad past. The death of his son was really unbearable. Liu Lin couldn't figure out for a moment whether Lao Wu's son was a hero or not? If he dies on the battlefield, it is indisputable, but if he dies on steamed bread and clear water, I'm afraid it will also become a joke for many people.

Blood-soaked conversation and laughter.

"Olivered, the dishes are complete. Send a few guys to help me send them back." Old Wu clapped his hands, and it was completely impossible to see from his look that the person who died in the story just died was his son.

"You guys, it's okay to stand here. Help Lao Wu deliver the food box to the owner's house. Be careful on the way and don't spill vegetables. Legs and feet are numb. Don't get cold in the place. Liu Lin said to several staff who had nothing to do in the lobby.

"Oh." Those guys answered in unison, picked up the food box and went out of the Osmanthus Building.

"Lao Wu, then I won't send it. Don't go there and help me bring the message to my boss." Liu Lin repeatedly told him about this matter. After all, this is the first problem he is facing now.

"I can't forget it. Don't worry." Lao Wu turned around and walked out of the Guihua Tower. As soon as he took two or three steps, he suddenly turned around again: "I guess they must be curious after talking to Dutou and his wife about this star. So for a while, I guess you will send a warm sedan chair when you finish dinner. If your wife wants to go out to have a look, this sedan chair can come in handy. With this matter added, it will be even more difficult for Wuhan University to doubt you. Even if your wife doesn't go, just let the sedan chair empty and lose some money. This money is spent on yourself. You Liu's account should be able to afford the money to hire a sedan chair. Old Wu smiled and waved to Liu Lin, and disappeared into the twilight with those guys holding food boxes.

After Lao Wu left, Liu Lin sat on the chair and pouted. He felt that what Lao Wu said was indeed reasonable, so he immediately shouted to the back, "Zhang Shu, are you there? Come here."

After a while, Zhang Shu walked to Liu Lin. Liu Qianfang, what can I do for you?" Although Zhang Shu's identity in Guihua Tower is still a mate, because of what happened last night, everyone knows that Zhang Shu must not be a thing in the pool and will definitely rise one day. Strangely, although Liu Lin knew that Zhang Shu's style and tone had not changed, he just felt that this person had vaguely contained an extraordinary temperament, which made it difficult for Liu Lin to treat Zhang Shu like an ordinary guy.

"Zhang Shu, that's it. Didn't you hear that there will be a comet in the sky? I just asked Lao Wu to bring this matter to my owner. I thought that my wife's health has just improved today. Maybe she may be interested in this news and come out to see a star or something at night. Madam is not in good health. You have to take a sedan chair when you come out. We have nothing to do with Guihua Building. You can hire a warm sedan chair and choose the best sedan chair. Let's go to our owner's house to try our luck. Liu Lin's tone was not like an order, but seemed to be discussing things.

"Liu Account Room, you are afraid that the shopkeeper will come back and find that the business is too bad tonight, which is difficult to explain, so take your boss to make a witness together." Zhang Shu smiled and immediately pointed out Liu Lin's true intentions.

"Well, that's what it is. You should know that you have been in Guihua Building for so long. Our shopkeeper is different from his boss. It's too difficult to talk. Sometimes he can lose his temper even if he has a little thing. My position is very embarrassing, so he has thought about these things more and thought about it carefully. Don't laugh. Liu Lin understands that as long as he speaks openly, Zhang Shu will definitely understand.

"Oi, I'll go now. Did I hire a sedan chair to send it directly to my owner or send it back? As Zhang Shu spoke, he plunged into the cuffs and immediately entered the night. It was cold outside, which could keep him warmer.

"You come back first. As soon as dinner was delivered, the sedan chair arrived, which is not good. Although the host doesn't think about anything, we haven't had much contact with my wife. Once she thinks that this is urging her to eat quickly, it's not good if she has other ideas. My wife is not old, and it is inevitable to have a childish temper. If my flattery is on the horse's feet, I will ask for trouble. Liu Lin said what he wanted to say, and then he grabbed his head, took off his cloak from the clothes rack behind and handed it to Zhang Shu: "It's cold outside. I saw that your clothes didn't keep warm last night. I gave this cloak to you, so as to suppress the cold."

"Liu Account Room, this is not suitable." Zhang Shu stretched out his hand and pushed it out.

Liu Lin shook his head and said, "Zhang Shu, I understand that you are a person with great ability. I am a small account room, and I didn't want to buy you with this cloak. In your experience, what can this cloak count even if it is dragon skin? It's just that our brothers are all in the Osmanthus Building now, and we still need to be closer in the future. If you want to look at me, take this cloak away. It's easy to hire a sedan chair to wear decent clothes, isn't it? The cold shivered, which also lost face to the owner and the Osmanthus Building. Liu Lin stuffed the cloak into Zhang Shu's hand.

"Then I'm ashamed." Zhang Shu was not declining, but immediately put on his cloak.

Liu Lin's figure is not as tall as Zhang Shu, but the cloaks to protect against the cold are relatively fat, so Zhang Shu does not look short.

"This is silver." Liu Lin took out 20 taels of silver from the drawer next to him and gave it to Zhang Shu: "Chall choose the best sedan chair and sedan chair, and pay first. Don't let those sedan chair owners and wives who are in the mood ask for money to carry sedan chairs, that's not good.

"Don't worry, Liu's account room." Zhang Shu took the silver in his arms and stepped out of the door of the Osmanthus Building.

When Zhang Shu went out, he gently shook his cloak, which looked skillful and elegant. The question left to Liu Lin now is, if Zhang Shu has really joined the army, what position will he have? At least it's a general, otherwise how could there be such a skillful movement of swinging the cloak?

Liu Lin very much hopes that Wu Da can come back at this time. After all, the dinner has just begun. If so, there is no need to explain, but unfortunately, he is disappointed. Since Liu Lin went out from this gate, no one has entered the gate of Guihua Tower. During this period, those who delivered food boxes to Wu Song's family came back, but they all walked through the back door, which is also the rule of Guihua Building for ordinary clerks. When they come back, they should try to go through the back door as much as possible so as not to delay the entry and exit of the guests.

Liu Lin, who is just looking forward to wear, hopes that a buddy will come back from the front door today, which can make Guihua Tower look a little popular. In less than half an hour, Zhang Shu came back, followed by two short but very solid people. Looking at this figure, Liu Lin understood that this is a sedan chair.

"Liu's account room, the sedan chair has been hired. I thought it would take a while to go to my boss's house, so let these two big brothers come in for a glass of wine, warm up, and work comfortably for a while. Zhang Shu explained to Liu Lin.

"That's right. Come on, two brothers, please sit down." Liu Lin went to the table, pulled out the chair, and invited the two sedan chairmen to sit down. He and Zhang Shu also sat down to accompany each other.

The sharp-eyed man saw the four people sitting down and quickly brought wine, snacks and cooked meat. The two sedan chairmen were not polite. They reached out and grabbed their hearts and ate, and each drank a glass of wine.

"You two haven't eaten yet, have you?" Liu Lin estimated that even if they were allowed to have a meal, it would be too late to go to Wu Song's house. He knew that such hard-line people ate very fast, and after all, Wu Song's family had a wife to eat, which must be much slower. Time was still in time.

"I haven't eaten yet." One of the sedan chairman replied, "Our brothers usually don't dare to come in this osmanthus building. If we earn a little money to get rid of it for their wives and children, there is not much left. If we come to the osmanthus building for a day's meal, I guess we will drink the northwest wind this month, hahaha." Liba in Yanggu County speaks very boldly. Liu Linping also likes to make friends with such people. When talking to them, it seems that she is also one of them.

"This is Liu Lin, the accountant of Guihua Building." Zhang Shu made an introduction: "Liu account room said so. I just want to treat you two for a meal here. After eating, it's not too late to go to Dutou's house."

Liu Lin nodded with approval: "Yes, you two, only have the strength to carry the sedan chair when you are full. You two have also seen that there are few guests in Guihua Building today, and the two of you can eat here, which is also a strong popularity for us. Today, the chef is also idle. If you don't use a lot of materials in the kitchen tonight, you will have to throw them away tomorrow, so you two can order whatever you want. It's my treat! How much work should be paid in a while, and it will definitely not be deducted because of this. Liu Lin was afraid that the two sedan chair men would have concerns about wages, so he explained this point.

"Liu Accountant, you are really a refreshing person." The sedan chairman stretched out a big finger at Liu Lin: "I've been working in Yanggu for so many years, and I haven't seen such an interesting big buyer and seller like you. Ordinary traders regard silver more seriously than their lives. Today, when I listen to you, this is what Mr. Guan said, who value righteousness rather than profit. However, our two brothers really can't eat with you. We understand your feelings. The sedan chair man turned around and refused Liu Lin's request.

"Brother, why is that? Don't you look down on me, Liu Lin? Although I am an accountant, the shopkeeper is not here today, so I will act as the shopkeeper and treat you two to a big meal. There is still no problem. Liu Lin's face turned a little red. He felt that the two sedan chairmen were shivering with words. What kind of big businessman he is? He is not a shopkeeper, but just an accountant. In the final analysis, the position is a little higher than the clerk. In fact, he does not blame the sedan chair man saying so. Such a treat is indeed a little infamous. Not smooth.

"Don't think too much about Liu's account room. Our brother doesn't mean anything else. It's just that you don't know what we do. We have a meal when we get up in the morning and have a meal when we don't have a lunch break. But these two meals are just a little bit, because you may have to work soon. There is too much food in your stomach, and your feet will be unstable if you lift the sedan chair. So this dinner can't be eaten until all the work is unloaded. This brother is generous. The sedan chairman stretched out his hand and pointed to Zhang Shu, and then continued to say, "Our brother can find a small restaurant to have a good meal with this silver after finishing this work tonight. If you have enough to eat and drink now, you will be ashamed of being a good customer like you when you lift the sedan chair for a while. Now just eat some snacks and pads. We can take a sip of wine to keep out the cold. Our brother is already grateful to Liu's account room. The sedanist's words are sincere.

"Liu account room, these two are telling the truth. I don't know if you have never exertion. You just want to stay when you are full. It's true that you can't exert yourself for a while." Zhang Shu made a matching explanation.

Liu Lin believed it, and his face slowly turned normal: "Even if you owe this meal, when you two want to come to eat, you can come. If our shopkeeper is here, just say it's my friend. Liu Lin wrapped the ticket, and he really wanted to make full of his face.

"Liu Account Room, is your shopkeeper Wu Da, the brother of Wudu? It's born..." The sedan chair hesitated for a moment and then said, "Is it the one that is a little short?"

Liu Lin looked at that there was no one else left and right. Wu Da was most afraid of others talking about his figure. There are several close friends of Wu Da in this Guihua Building. It would be bad if they told Wu Da after hearing it and said that they were talking about his short figure behind his back.

"Well, our shopkeeper is officially the younger brother of Wu Song, the head of this county, and he is indeed a little short." Liu Lin's tone in the second half is very light. After all, as long as the two sedan chairs can hear it.

"This is not our brother's talkative. You probably don't know where Wuhan University has gone. Are you still waiting for him to come back?" The sedan chairman drank another glass of wine and was already a little drunk when he spoke.

Guihualou's wine is relatively strong. When I first drank it, I didn't feel anything. Later, the mellow wine came up. This slightly drunken feeling is indeed the greatest pleasure of drinking. It may be under the influence of wine that this sedan man began to talk about Wuda.

As soon as Liu Lin heard that there was a door, the crooked sedan chair actually knew where Wu Da was. It would be a lot less troublesome to get him back early, so he quickly asked, "Yes, there are very important things in the store waiting for the shopkeeper to deal with. Did you see our shopkeeper?"

"That's not good." The sedan with a small hiccup, and he also realized that he had drunk a little too much. He quickly put down his glass, showed an apologetic expression, and gently rubbed his hands: "It's just that when we rested this afternoon, we heard several brothers talk about it. They carried a dwarf and Ximenqing, the owner of the Ximen pharmacy, to Rouge Lane in the afternoon. "

"Go to Rouge Lane with Ximenqing? You can't read it wrong. We are not the only shopkeeper in Yanggu County. Liu Lin naturally knows where Rouge Lane is. Wu Song, as the head of Yanggu, is extremely ** even with the identity of Wu Da. Once this kind of visiting brothels spreads, it will be very unfavorable to Wu Song's future career. This kind of erotic news is most likely to be attacked by others. What's more, although Ximenqing has just received the life-saving grace of the Wu family, this man has some friction with Wu Song. If he really took Wu Da to Rouge Lane, there must be some plot, and this attempt will definitely turn around and fall on Wu Song's head.

"No." Another sedan chairman, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "In the afternoon, a brother told me that he carried a dwarf from the back door of the Osmanthus Tower to the West Gate Pharmacy. This man was very agile and moved up and down like a monkey. In addition, he had a special figure, so the brother was particularly impressed and used it to talk and laugh when he was resting.

A dwarf was carried from Guihualou to the Ximen Pharmacy, and someone saw Ximen Qing and a dwarf go to Rouge Lane in a sedan chair. It is definitely not a coincidence that the two are together. So, Wu Da ran to the brothel at noon and hasn't come back until now, and I don't know what to play! Shit, Pan Jinlian has been away for many days. Wu Da must have a great demand for that matter. This time, there will definitely be no restraint in the brothel. If something goes wrong with her body, Wu Song will definitely be angry with me. Alas, as an accountant, how can you worry about so many things! Liu Lin thought of this and felt a splitting headache.

Liu Lin has the intention to send someone to pick up Wu Da in Rouge Lane now, even if he goes in person and tells Wu Da that this matter must be restrained. At worst, he will come back to play in the future. Don't make trouble. But on second thought, once he goes, Wu Da will inevitably be furious. Isn't this clear that he is spying on the whereabouts of the shopkeeper? But it can't be done without action. What should I do? Liu Lin thought hard...

Yes! I can tell Wu Song about this matter and let the two brothers deal with it by themselves. I told him about this matter, which can also make him prepare in advance and rid of this unnecessary responsibility. Liu Lin made up his mind.

"Liu account room, the time is almost up. I think these two and I will go to the owner's house now. Zhang Shu made suggestions.

"I have something to say to my boss. Let's both go. It's better." Liu Lin stood up and straightened his clothes. He felt that today was a really troublesome night.
