Brocade legend

Chapter 19 Jiang Shishi

Dong Hai hurriedly stood up to answer, but Lu Bing pressed down on the void with his hands, motioning him to sit down and answer.Dong Hai sat down honestly, pointed at the stone, and said angrily: "The villain said that the adults want to see him, but this stupid big man insists on going to work in that Sihai warehouse, and he won't listen to what I say. ..."

Lu Bing smiled and said to Shitou, "Don't worry, how much do you pay for a day of work?" Shitou scratched his head and said honestly, "Ten Wen."

Lu Bing smiled and said, "Then you don't have to go to work today, I'll give you ten taels." Shitou frowned and said, "No way! Mommy said you won't get paid for nothing!"

Lu Bing was taken aback, he didn't expect that this big stupid man could speak idioms, and he knew the phrase "you don't get paid for nothing."

Dong Hai couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up and shouted: "Bold! My adults appreciate you, so I talk to you, don't be ignorant!"

Lu Bing raised his hand to stop Dong Hai, motioned him to sit down, and then said to Shitou, "There is another saying that you get what you earn if you work with me. If you talk with me, you are working. Naturally, I will pay you."

Shitou thought for a while and said, "Okay then, I'll chat with you, but I don't want your ten taels. I get ten taels a day when I go to work. Chatting is easy, so you can give me five taels!"

Dong Hai couldn't help being amused, but Lu Bing said sternly: "Okay, then Wuwen!"

Stone nodded seriously.

Lu Bing asked Dong Hai: "Can you find out the condition of the stone?"

Sitting down, Dong Hai bowed his body and said, "Go back to my lord, I have found out everything clearly."

Lu Bing first said to Lu An: "Go arrange some food and drink, I want to have a good chat with the two brothers." After speaking, he turned back to Dong Hai and said: "Then tell me!"

Dong Hai nodded and said: "This stupid big man is called Shitou, surnamed Jiang. There is no one else in the family, only a sick mother, surnamed Li. This Li mother and Jiang Shitou have no blood relationship. More than ten years ago, Li The stone that Mama picked up by the sewage ditch. Madam Li’s father-in-law was a dart walker. The old couple was over 40 and had no children, so they adopted the stone. Madam Li’s husband’s family name was Jiang, and because it was a big stone in the sewage ditch. The one I picked up last time is called Jiang Shitou."

Dong Hai took a look at the stone at this point, couldn't help sighing, and continued: "When the stone was picked up, it looked like four or five years old. It seemed to have brain disease and was always stupid, but it was very tall, and Born with great strength. The old man Jiang saw that this stupid big man was good at practicing martial arts, so he taught martial arts since he was a child. The old couple kept the stone for a dream, so they never let the stone go with the old man to take risks. Two years ago this When Jiang’s bodyguard agency was walking in the south, it was ransacked by Japanese pirates. After all, Jiang was old and his hands and feet were slow, so he didn’t run away and was killed. Because the goods were robbed, the security agency lost a lot of money. They disbanded. Mother Li heard that the old man had died, and now she fell ill. Originally, the old man Jiang was just a dart walker, and the family didn't have much savings. The things in the house were pawned, and there was really nothing to do. It was only then that Shi Shi came out to work. A manager in the Four Seas warehouse was an old acquaintance with old man Jiang, so he felt sorry for the idiot and sick mother, so he asked Shi Shi to come to the warehouse to move and do some manual work."

After Dong Hai finished speaking in one breath, he picked up the tea at hand and took a sip.

When Shi Shi heard what Dong Hai said, he seemed to know that he was talking about himself, and unconsciously restrained the silly smile on his face.

At this moment, Lu Bing took a closer look, only to find that the stone was handsome even when it was not smiling.Chinese character face, high nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes.Looking carefully, I found that Shi Shi's eyes were not black, but brown.Her hair was tied casually behind her head with a rag band, slightly curled.

Lu Bing already had an inference in his mind that this stone was probably of mixed blood left behind by a Thai-Western person who came to China.

Since the Sanbao eunuch went to the West, many Thai and Westerners came to Ming Dynasty.Taixi people are tall and tall, with curly hair and brown-blue eyes.Beijing is the center of Ming Dynasty, and it is not uncommon for Thai and Westerners to come here.There are also those who settled down and intermarried with the locals. Lu Bing's jurisdiction is full of wealthy people, and there are just two such families. Because Jinyiwei is responsible for inspection, Jinyiwei has internal records.When he first came to the office, Lu Bing checked out out of curiosity. The children of the two families and Shitou have in common that they have curly hair and different eyes.

Many Taixi people who came to Daming were businessmen and missionaries.There will also be speculators who come to the east to pan for gold, and pirates who commit crimes. These people are generous and like to hang out in brothels.Shitou doesn't know which Thai-Western person left behind the mixed-race child. Probably the Thai-Western people left later, and Shitou had a brain disorder and was abandoned by his mother.

While Lu Bing was thinking wildly, Lu An had already returned to the front hall, and said to Lu Bing, "Young master, the food and drinks are all arranged, do you want to sit now?"

Lu Bing collected his thoughts and said, "Let's have a feast!"

Lu Bing, Dong Hai, and Jiang Shitou came to the side hall together, and a good banquet had already been set up in the middle of the side hall.Lu Bing signaled them to sit down one by one.

Lu Bing first toasted the two of them, and then said to Dong Hai: "Did you take that Nanny Li to see the doctor?"

Dong Hai was taken aback for a moment, he hesitated a bit.Lu Bing expected that the fat man was not that careful, so he didn't reprimand him either.

Lu Bing and Yan said to Shi Shi: "I want you to come and do business with me, what do you think?"

Shitou didn't smile or scratch his head abnormally, he thought about it seriously, and asked Lu Bing seriously: "Will there be a lot of money?"

Lu Bing froze for a moment, frowned slightly and then quickly relaxed, and said softly: "Yes"

Shi Shi replied seriously and affirmatively, "Okay."

Lu Bing looked at the stone in surprise, at this time Dong Hai came to his senses first, and said to Lu Bing: "My lord, Nanny Li seems to be very ill, but yesterday when I was taking the medicine prescribed by the stone for me, I found that Fangzi’s medicines are very cheap.”

Lu Bing also understood at this time, slapped his head, and cursed himself for being confused, just because he likes Shi Shi's simplicity, he is actually displeased because Shi Shi mentions money as a vulgar thing, but he doesn't think that money is often the most difficult thing for the world .

Feeling guilty, Lu Bing asked Shitou, "Is Mammy seriously ill and needs money?"

Shitou nodded, and said sadly and powerlessly: "Yes, I don't have the money to take Mammy to see a better doctor... Doctor Liu said that he can only use that prescription to save Mammy's life, but it cannot cure Mammy. If you want to cure Mammy, you need to hire a better doctor, but that costs a lot of money...I...I have no money."
