Chapter 44 The Concubine

"I can't sleep now, good things are yet to come!" Gao Wen said with a smile: "Now Journey to the West has only released one episode, and there are at least eight more episodes to come. The old man just wait and count the money slowly!"

This first episode is only No. 12, and there are a total of [-] chapters in the book "Journey to the West".According to Gao Wen's prediction, there will be eight more episodes in the future.

More than 200 taels of silver, converted into RMB for later generations has exceeded one million.This may not be a big deal in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty, prices were so low that ordinary people could not accumulate much money throughout the year.If you save a little, you can do nothing in your life, and you can do it.

Besides, it will be published later, and several editions will have to be printed.Forget it, in the next one or two years, I will have at least 1 taels in the account.This price is second to none in Hancheng.

Ever since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, poverty has shrouded Gao Wen's head like a dark cloud, and today the clouds finally cleared to see the moon.

At this moment, he just wanted to jump up, take off the hat on his head and the yamen servant on his body, and shouted: "I am rich, this yamen servant is quitting."

Yes, don't be this damned subordinate, build a big house, buy hundreds of acres of land, but don't know how happy it is?

However, I really told him not to do the errands in the yamen, but he was a little unwilling in his heart.Although he is the head of the second team, he was appointed by the brothers below.But at any rate, it is equivalent to the deputy captain of the criminal police team in the modern world, a deputy department-level cadre, and it is very likely that he will become a full-time job in the future.

In ancient times, without fame, being a rich man was never a good choice. You have no power, and you can't keep the family business.When others see that you have made a fortune, as long as they have some power, they want to come here to get some benefits.Among other things, Han Kui, a small team leader, can toss so hard that he can't survive or die.

In ancient China, power was the only way to have money.You have money but no power, you are just a piece of fat in the eyes of others.

It seems that in this yamen in Hancheng, I still have to get along well.

"That's right, Brother Gao is right. The old man was so happy that he forgot about the later manuscript." Yu Xingyan stretched out: "Mr. Gao, boss Gao, what about the next manuscript? Don't tell the old man about your official business." I haven't had time to write because I'm busy, the first volume is selling so well that other bookstores are pressing for the second volume. According to this old man, other things are illusory, and only money is real."

"No way, I can't get along with anyone, and I can't get along with Yinzi." Gao Wen replied, "Although I went to Shanxi these days, I was not idle along the way. I wrote four chapters. Now it's finally my return." It’s time to go home, give me half a month to write enough chapters and call you.”

"That's good, that's good. Don't talk about others, even the old man can't wait to see when the Monkey King will escape from under the Five Elements Mountain. Mr. Gao, if you don't write the rest of the story, the storyteller in the teahouse will be killed." There is nothing more to say, and I must trouble you. How about you give the old man a preview of the four chapters that you prepared first?"

Gao Wen: "Tomorrow, you can ask someone to come and pick it up. By the way, where is my share of money?" This is what he cares most about.

Yu Xingyan replied that he had personally delivered it to Gao Wen's mother the day before yesterday, but he could check it when he returned home.In addition, considering that the 1000 taels of silver was too much to carry, and that Gao Wen liked gold, he replaced it with gold.

As soon as Boss Yu mentioned his mother, Gao Wen got up to see that it was getting late, "Don't say, this time in Hancheng, I haven't seen my mother yet, so I'll leave first...By the way, how do others know?" I am the author of the book "Journey to the West", isn't this too much?"

Boss Yu was a little embarrassed: "It was Shi Yuan who said it quickly, but Mr. Gao, don't be angry. Think about it, it's inevitable that a small yamen servant can write such wonderful words, which will inevitably make people curious. Let’s see what happened in one book. So, it can be regarded as a kind of publicity, what is this in front of Yin Zi?”

Gao Wen was annoyed: "Where is the scholar, I asked him for an explanation."

Yu Xingyan: "He's been buying books all this time, and he won't see anyone in Xi'an today and Yan'an tomorrow."

Gao Wen had no choice but to leave the bookstore, take the gift he bought from Shanxi, and head back to his mother.

Since he left home last time, it has been ten days since he saw his mother. Gao Wen was worried and left very quickly.Before entering the yard, Jin heard the sound of the loom banging inside, presumably she was weaving.

Unlike in the past, his mother didn't realize that he was back. Gao Wen strode in and shouted, "Mother, my son is not filial. He has been away for so many days, but today he can be regarded as coming back."

No one answered, at this moment Gao Wen realized that the person sitting in front of the loom was a slender little girl.

This little girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender figure and delicate features, she vaguely has the graceful beauty of a woman from the south of the Yangtze River.Sitting in front of the loom, her body swayed from side to side according to the movements, gracefully like a willow in the wind, and seeing the fine beads of sweat on her forehead and her light panting, I really feel sorry for her.

The Yanni in the Baoen Temple was quite pretty in the Hancheng area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, but compared with this woman, Gao Wen suddenly felt unsightly - this is the beauty in front of him!

As soon as he broke into the house and saw a strange woman, Gao Wen was a little embarrassed, and cupped his hands: "It turns out that there are guests at home, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Dare I ask who the little lady is and why she is here, I am Gao Wen, my mother Woolen cloth?"

He originally thought that the little girl should be a neighbor's child or a little daughter-in-law who came to visit, but after thinking about it, it was wrong.I know all the neighbors next door, and I haven't seen such a person.Not to mention the vicinity, if there is such a beautiful woman in this city, why don't I know?
However, it is not good for men and women to be alone in a room if others know about it.

Gao Wen was about to leave the house, but he felt that something was wrong.Just now when she entered the courtyard by herself and made such a big commotion, any other woman would have stood up and avoided it long ago.But this little girl didn't even raise her eyes, she just kept weaving, her hands fluttered like butterflies wearing flowers, and she seemed invisible.

Thinking of this, he looked over again, the little girl's eyes were a little dull, she just stared at the spinning machine without moving her eyes.

On the contrary, the shuttle kept shuttling through the silk thread, and the cloth woven was flat and neat, which dazzled Gao Wen.

"So I'm blind..." Gawain stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, but there was no response.His mother couldn't see with both eyes, so he swallowed the word "zi" abruptly.

"I'm not blind." Suddenly, the little girl responded with a voice as small as a mosquito.

Gao Wen: "So you can see."

"I can see." The eyeballs still didn't move, and his expression was numb.

"So... what's your name, where are you from, and why are you in my house?"

Little girl: "I have no name, no name, no name."

Gao Wen: "I don't need to say important things three times, where's my mother?"

"Mother has something to go out." The little girl stopped, and said repeatedly: "I don't have a name, I don't have a name."

"Mother..." Gao Wen was startled, as if he realized something.He remembered that the night he left home to move out, his mother said that she would buy a concubine from among the refugee women with good eyebrows and eyes, and that she would also give birth to unmarried women first.This... Could this woman be... Otherwise, why would she call her mother a mother?

What's the matter, the little girl looks good, but mother, you have to ask for my opinion, what is it to take someone home so recklessly?
Also, there is nothing wrong with taking concubines and sex.But you can't just look at the appearance, do you want to have a beautiful heart?Looking at this little girl's mentally retarded imbecility, how can I become a family with her.If a child is born in the future, how can dementia be passed on to the next generation?

I, Gao Wen, was called a fool before, how will I see people again in the future if I am a fool again?

It must be that the mother only cared about seeing other people look good, and it was even more likely that the little girl was cheap, and her old man cared about choosing the cause.

Thinking of this, Gao Wen couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, and said softly to the woman, "Girl, I think my mother promised you to me. However, this kind of thing cannot be forced. A marriage without love is not Moral. Cough, it’s useless for me to tell you these things. Do you know where your home is and where your family members live? I’ll take you back, don’t worry, your parents won’t ask you to return your money.”

Before she finished speaking, the woman suddenly jumped up screaming: "I won't go back, I won't go back, I won't go back." The important thing continued to be said three times, and tears gushed out like spring water.

While speaking, she waved a pair of scissors in her hand: "Go away, go away, you big villain, don't touch me!"

What martial arts Gao Wen is, how could he be stabbed by her.Immediately dodged backwards and shouted: "Calm down, calm down, I'm a good person, don't hurt yourself?"

If the woman really wanted to charge at him with the scissors, Gao Wen was confident that he would knock her down instantly, but he was afraid that the woman would hurt himself.

The martial arts that Gao Wen learned are all killing skills that can be seen in the first place, and one move is life and death. Moreover, his martial arts has just crossed the threshold, and has not yet reached the point where lifting weights is light, and his subordinates do not have the accuracy. It will be troublesome if something goes wrong.

In this way, he was actually forced to retreat step by step by her.

Seeing that the woman was entangled, and his mother didn't know where to go, Gao Wen was anxious, and shouted: "Crazy, what a crazy. What do I do to touch you, think I'm a lustful ghost? But I'm not interested, and mother doesn't know what the hell is going on, buying such an idiot like you as a daughter-in-law?"

At this moment, someone called out: "My good girl, what are you doing, come here, come to mother."

Gao Wen looked back, and saw his mother was holding a cane in her hand, and she didn't know when she was standing outside the house.Immediately shouted: "Mother, it's dangerous, go, go, I'm here!"
