Chapter 823
Night fell, Cao Cao Weiguo came out of Chen Chen Xueru's residence holding his waist, and rode his 28-inch bicycle away as if fleeing. The woman under the mountain is a tiger; you must avoid her when you meet her.
When he returned to Nanluoguxiang, he happened to see Seeing Shazhu and Dong Xiang.
In the dimly lit alley, Dong Xiang stuffed a package to Seeing Shazhu: "Take it, don't let others see it."
Seeing Shazhu said timidly: "Dong Ergou, you won't pit me, will you? If this is discovered by the neighborhood office, my life will be over."
Dong Xiang said sarcastically: "Seeing Shazhu, you only have this little courage? No wonder Xu Xu Damao dares to give you a green hat. If you are afraid, then forget it. In the future, when Xu Xu Damao sleeps with your object, you go over and push him twice. Maybe Xu Xu Damao is in a good mood and can let you drink two mouthfuls of soup."
"Fart! Give me the things. If I don't fix that dog Xu Xu Damao to death, I, Seeing Shazhu, will pee upside down in the future!"
How could Seeing Shazhu endure this insulting provocation? He grabbed the package and looked fierce, as if he wanted to eat someone.
"This is like a man. Let's act according to the plan. We will definitely fix that treacherous dog Xu Xu Damao to death. Believe me, brother, just wait to take revenge and wash away the shame."
Dong Xiang smiled and patted Seeing Shazhu's shoulder, humming a little tune and turning to go home. Seeing Shazhu clutched the package, his heart gloomy and heavy as he returned to the Sihe Academy.
"Sha Zhuzi, what are you holding in your hand?"
Yi Yi Zhonghai watched Seeing Shazhu enter the room, looking curiously at the package in Seeing Shazhu's hand.
"Nothing."
Seeing Shazhu replied nervously and hurriedly put the package into the cabinet.
Yi Yi Zhonghai approached: "Sha Zhuzi, why are you still hiding things from Uncle?"
Seeing Shazhu said with a face full of hesitation: "First Uncle, it's not that I'm hiding things from you, but there's just a piece of broken clothes in this package."
Yi Yi Zhonghai smiled: "Broken clothes? No way, I saw a touch of yellow."
The Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhang Dama turned their heads to look at Seeing Shazhu. Seeing Shazhu hurriedly pulled Yi Yi Zhonghai outside: "First Uncle, your eyes are too sharp. Since you saw it, I won't hide it from you. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm really afraid of implicating you."
Once Yi Yi Zhonghai heard this, he became even more curious. What kind of thing could make Seeing Shazhu so nervous? "I'm an old bone, what am I afraid of being implicated in? Sha Zhuzi, you have been simple-minded since you were a child. If you have something, don't hide it in your heart. Discuss it more with Uncle. Uncle will help you check and give you ideas. We are a family and don't speak two languages. Uncle will accompany you through the wind and rain."
Upon hearing this, Seeing Shazhu was greatly moved and whispered in Yi Yi Zhonghai's ear: "Uncle, I got a treasure when I went to the countryside to work."
Yi Yi Zhonghai's eyes shone: "Treasure! What treasure!"
Seeing Shazhu said excitedly: "Do you know the Yellow Horse Gown? The Yellow Horse Gown that Emperor Qianlong rewarded to Grand Secretary Ji!"
Yi Yi Zhonghai grabbed Seeing Shazhu's arm excitedly: "Yellow Horse Gown!"
Yi Yi Zhonghai had lived in Jingcheng for decades, how could he not have heard of the Yellow Horse Gown?
That was a kind of official uniform in the Qing Dynasty. Commanders of the guards, etc., all wore Yellow Horse Gowns, and later they were also bestowed upon ministers with military merits. It was also called "Yellow Horse Jacket." Ministers who accompanied the patrol in the Qing Dynasty, such as ministers before the emperor, internal ministers, internal court princes, and guard captains, were all allowed to wear Yellow Horse Gowns, and meritorious ministers were also specially bestowed to wear them.
The Yellow Horse Gown was famous, and Qianlong and Grand Secretary Ji were even more famous.
Qianlong was the longest-lived emperor in Chinese history. He wrote 41,863 poems in his life but carried out literary inquisitions, was fond of greatness and success, but shamelessly boasted of being a "Ten-Perfect Old Man."
Grand Secretary Ji was also a romantic celebrity, named Ji Yun, courtesy name Xiaolan. He became a Jinshi and served as Minister of Rites and Assistant Grand Secretary... a favorite minister before Qianlong.
Celebrities plus famous objects, so this Yellow Horse Gown that Qianlong rewarded to Grand Secretary Ji sounds amazing!
It's really a fool who has a fool's luck. Such a big pie actually fell on Seeing Shazhu's head.
Yi Yi Zhonghai asked excitedly: "Sha Zhuzi, are you telling the truth or a lie? Who would be willing to give Grand Secretary Ji's Yellow Horse Gown to you?"
Seeing Shazhu said with a flourish: "First Uncle, you don't know. When I was taking private jobs in the countryside, I met a drunkard. That old drunkard went to the host's house to eat and drink, but unexpectedly met a creditor. The creditor grabbed the old drunkard and beat him up, making the old drunkard run away with his head in his hands. Coincidentally, he bumped into me and tore a hole in my clothes. I couldn't let it go, so I grabbed the old drunkard and made him pay for the clothes. The old drunkard had no choice but to pull me and say good things, saying he had no money at home, but had a good thing to pay off the debt. I went to the old drunkard's house with the creditor. The old drunkard was so poor that his house was empty. Even if a mouse went there, it would have to leave two grains of rice. But who could have thought? That old drunkard was still a descendant of Grand Secretary Ji. He dug a wooden box from under the rice jar, and the Yellow Horse Gown was placed in this wooden box. The creditor was short-sighted, timid, afraid of causing trouble, and didn't want the Yellow Horse Gown, only wanted money. So I just took out five Brother Yuan and took the Yellow Horse Gown."
Yi Yi Zhonghai said skeptically: "Sha Zhuzi, you weren't cheated, were you?"
Seeing Shazhu said anxiously: "The person who can cheat me hasn't been born yet. First Uncle, if you don't believe it, then forget it."
Yi Yi Zhonghai smiled: "Believe, Uncle believes. But Sha Zhuzi, this Yellow Horse Gown is old feudalism. How do you plan to deal with it? Do you want Uncle to help? Uncle knows many people. Give it to Uncle, and Uncle will help you sell it for money."
Seeing Shazhu said proudly: "You don't need to worry. I have already found a buyer. Have you heard of Dong Dong Ergou? He is a banner man and knows goods. As soon as I came back, I found him. It's just that he is tight on money and couldn't take out the money at that time. He should be running around to raise money now."
Yi Yi Zhonghai asked: "How much money is he offering?"
Seeing Shazhu opened his hand and gestured: "Eighty."
Yi Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "Eighty is too little. Sha Zhuzi, you should ask for more. Or you give the thing to me, and I will help you sell it. It's a pity to sell such a good thing for only eighty Brother Yuan."
Seeing Shazhu hesitated: "This is not good, right? I have already promised Dong Dong Ergou. A person cannot be unfaithful."
Yi Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "You elm-headed fool! Money! Money! Don't you want money! Sha Zhuzi! I know you are honest by nature, but sometimes you can't be too honest. You have to learn to be flexible. You only have a verbal agreement with Dong Dong Ergou, what does that count for? As long as there is no money and goods exchanged, there is still room. Besides, such a good thing, he only gives you eighty Brother Yuan, that is obviously taking advantage of you, bullying you for being honest. You can't be sold and still count money for others."
Seeing Shazhu said: "First Uncle, I think eighty Brother Yuan is not bad."
Yi Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "Useless! You are satisfied with eighty Brother Yuan. Although I don't understand things in this area, that is the Yellow Horse Gown that Emperor Qianlong rewarded to Grand Secretary Ji. It is an imperial gift from the emperor. Maybe it is a priceless treasure. Don't you want to get rich overnight? Are you willing to give up the opportunity to get rich?"
Seeing Shazhu said with a tangled expression: "Of course I want to get rich overnight, but Dong Dong Ergou will come to take the things with money tomorrow. If I break the contract, Dong Dong Ergou will definitely make trouble."
Yi Yi Zhonghai thought for a while and said: "Sha Zhuzi, take the things out and let me see, and then I will tell you what to do."
By now, Yi Yi Zhonghai was still skeptical and didn't fully believe Seeing Shazhu's words. Whether to take the risk or not depends on seeing the thing.
Seeing Shazhu returned to the room, took the package, and gave it to Yi Yi Zhonghai. Yi Yi Zhonghai secretly approached the window, opened the package with the light from the window, saw the bright yellow Yellow Horse Gown, touched the smooth silk, and his face turned red with excitement.
He hadn't seen a Yellow Horse Gown, but the material of this silk couldn't fool people, and there was bright yellow, and the exquisite embroidery on it... made the doubts in his heart dissipate for the most part, believing that this was a Yellow Horse Gown.
Yi Yi Zhonghai whispered: "Sha Zhuzi, how about selling this thing to Xu Xu Damao?"
Seeing Shazhu said angrily: "First Uncle, what are you saying? Sell it to Xu Xu Damao? Was your brain kicked by a donkey? Don't say I have a grudge against him, it's impossible to sell it to him. Even if I sell it, does that dog Xu Xu Damao have the money to buy it? Also, what if he reports it to the neighborhood office? Then we will go to prison together?"
Yi Yi Zhonghai smiled apologetically: "I just mentioned it casually. I wasn't thinking that Xu Xu Damao's family in our courtyard has good conditions, so we can save the trouble of going out to find a buyer? Why are you in such a hurry? If you don't sell it to him, then don't sell it to him. Uncle knows many people. Let's go eat first. After eating, I will go out to help you contact a buyer."
