Chapter 124
A banquet, from sunset to late at night.
At the beginning of the hour of Hai, a large group of people drank and fell out of the restaurant of Manager Liu with the help of a group of women.
At this time, the streets were still brightly lit, and people were still coming and going.
"Hiber~ Brother Qi, we're going to be gambling, are you... going to go..." Ermazi burped with a red face.
Zhao Qi shook his head with a dark line, "It's getting late, so I won't go with you anymore. Remember to go back early!"
"Let's go... don't worry... wait until the money is lost... Ermao winter melon, let's go..." Ermao staggeredly, and took Ermao winter melon and a group of more than a dozen gangsters roaring along the street. I wonder if I would go to the tram to bet in the middle of the night before going home.
"Brother Zhao, do you want to go to Kuaihuo Tower with us to listen to the song... hiccup..." Chen Ji, who was usually taciturn and silent, drank a lot today, and said with a blushing face on the shoulder of a prostitute, burping and burping.
"Brother Chen, Liu Dong, take good care of my brother Chen. If he makes a mistake, I will ask you!" Zhao Qi shook his head and said to Liu Dong.
"Brother Qi, don't worry, I will take good care of Brother Chen!" Liu Dong quickly nodded and bowed his promise, and then he and a few scholars who were in charge of weekday accounting came together, surrounded Chen Ji and hugged several prostitutes, and went along the street.
"Hi~ Brother Qi, we're leaving too!" Yang Dahu was naked, showing his knotty muscles all over his body, putting his shirt on his shoulders, and staggeringly said goodbye and left, and soon only Zhao Qi and Li Gui were left.
"Why didn't Brother Li Gui go to play with Ermao and the others?" Zhao Qi asked with a smile.
"I don't like playing with them!" Li Guihan smiled and shook his head, then looked around his eyes and whispered, "Brother Qi, there is one thing..."
"Hey, why is Dalang still here?" After dealing with the expenses of the banquet, Manager Liu got downstairs and saw Zhao Qi standing downstairs. He couldn't help but smile and strode up. After seeing this, Li Gui swallowed half of the words behind him back.
"I'm still waiting for Uncle Dayuan, why haven't he come down yet?" Zhao Qi looked behind Manager Liu and asked.
"Haha, Dayuan is drunk and said he won't go back tonight. Don't worry, there is someone to take care of him..." Manager Liu also shakingly, waved his hand and said with a smile.
Zhao Qi was amused and crying.
It is said that men become bad if they have money, but they are indeed right.
Unexpectedly, Yang Dayuan, who was always steady and upright as his father, also fell into depravity.
Alas ~
Zhao Qi sighed and bowed: "Mr. Liu, it's getting late, so we're going home!"
"I'm going back so early? Do you want to have another cup of tea?" Manager Liu was a little surprised.
"I won't drink anymore. There are only grandma and Xiaozhu at home. I'm not very relieved. The weather is hot, I'm full of wine and food. I just walk in the night to get rid of the food. Today, Manager Liu has worked hard all day, so we won't disturb you and say goodbye!"
"Okay, Dalang walk slowly, Agui takes good care of Dalang. If something happens, I will ask you!" Mr. Liu carefully reminded him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I promise to send Brother Qi home and say goodbye!"
After a simple chat, the three of them broke up. Zhao Qi followed Li Gui and the other two quickly walked out of Yanggong Town, and walked along a horse-drawn road towards Maowan Village.
"Brother Agui, what are you trying to say just now? Is it because your family is short of money?" After no one around, Zhao Qi asked curiously.
"It's not that there is a shortage of money, it's about A'an. Today I went to the dock to help promote the harbor. I actually saw A'an and the second young master of the Lu family passing by in a carriage. Although it was through the car window, I seemed to hear them talking about A Lian, and it seemed to be talking about 500 stags of money. I was worried that A'an would make trouble, so I would like to remind you!" Agui said while walking.
"How could the two of them get together...500 knots..." Zhao Qi pinched his chin and had no clue.
Last time he colluded with Liu Dong to perform a play, giving up the territory that the Lu Family Trading Company was carrying to Zhu Dachang and the others in Dawan Village, and then bought three thousand acres of wasteland in the entire harbor at a very cheap price. Both sides were very happy.
Now the people from Dawan Village have successfully settled in the Lu Family Trading Company, and all the people from Maowan Village have withdrawn and followed Yang Dayuan, Ermazi and others to help at the Harbour Wharf. The salary is much higher than that in the Lu Family Trading Company, and everyone is satisfied and happy.
But A'an was the exception. He had also retreated together, but after a few days, he was reluctant to help in Xiaolongwan. He heard that he had gone back to carry the bag. Because the development of the harbor project was very messy and busy, Zhao Qi, Yang Dayuan and Mazi and others did not care about A'an's movements. Moreover, A'an is a taciturn person and has a bad temper. In addition, he had two conflicts with Zhao Qi, so everyone was too lazy to deal with him, so he became more and more lazy to care about A'an's whereabouts.
Zhao Qi has been home late recently, and every day when he goes home, A Lian takes Baoer to help cook and take care of him in the brick kiln. Zhao Qi has also asked several times. A An hasn't been back much for almost half a month. Even when he comes back, he is drunk in the middle of the night and goes to bed. After waking up, he has gone to bed and left again. He is completely like a ghost. As for his private life, Zhao Qi is embarrassed to ask, but according to A Lian's situation, A An should have not touched her for a long time. Although the two live together, they are like strangers. A Lian himself said that she hasn't talked to A An for a long time.
If a couple in this state were in the future, they would have divorced long ago.
But in the Song Dynasty, divorce was not easy to talk about for both men and women. Whether it was divorced or letting go, no matter which party's responsibilities were covered up, even if there was no relationship at all, it would still be maintained on the surface. Otherwise, the family and matchmaker of the divorce would not look good, and it would even cause the families of both parties to become enemies and fight.
A'an is from Maowan Village, with his surname as Yang, and his family is the same clan as Yang Dayuan. However, he has several generations and the same ancestral hall, but his relationship is very distant. A'lian is from another village ten miles away, and his family is not small. Moreover, this marriage was matched by A'lian's uncle. At first, he thought A'an was honest and fair-looking, and should be a good young man. Unexpectedly, he was a bad boy. After getting married, he did everything to eat, drink, benefactor and gambling. Since Bao'er was born, he rarely took care of his family and spent all day outside, and the more he went on, he became more and more dissatisfied.
Since the fool had a secret incident of peeking at A Lian taking a bath, although the two families were neighbors, A'an hated Zhao Qi to the core.
As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. Everyone knows that his wife was peeked by outsiders in a bath. This scandal made A'an, who was proud of her, even more ashamed. After beating Zhao Qi hard, the two families almost never interacted with each other, and they didn't let A Lian go out on weekdays.
However, while Ah An was not at home, Ah Lian would secretly send some fruits and vegetables to help Zhao Qi's family.
Anyway, Zhao Qi seemed to be a little bitchy, so he thought that Ah An could not react so violently because of his peeking at Ah Lian taking a bath. After all, Zhao Qi was still a fool at that time, and he was only eleven or eleven years old.
