The future in exchange for a chamber pot

336 Page views

In the Xiushui Hutong of Baoding Mansion, there was a person named Silly Three, who was a little heartless and made a living doing odd jobs. Not far from the Silly Three family, it was Hou Si's family. Hou Si can be said to be the local snake of Xiushui Hutong, and he worshiped the nursing home of Cao Kun's presidential palace at that time.

That day, Silly Three had just left the house when Hou Si called out, "San'er, you do odd jobs every day, when will you be able to marry a daughter-in-law? Let's do something else. It just so happens that my family has charcoal, and a piece of ocean is sold to you. You sell the charcoal, make some money and do a small business."

Silly Third nodded again and again, and came to Hou Si's house to see that it was a charred beam. Silly Third then remembered that Hou Si's house had caught fire more than a month ago. Hou Si saw that Silly Third was a little regretful, so he bragged, and finally told Silly Third to happily buy the charred beam.

From that day on, Silly Three carried the charred beam every day and stood next to a shroud shop in Xiushui Hutong selling it, causing people to laugh. But Silly Three didn't care, and it was still the same every day.

On this day Hou Si heard about Silly Three selling charcoal, and he came running over. He laughed so hard that the gold teeth in his mouth were about to fall out, and when he rolled his eyes, bad water came out again. He walked over and patted Silly Three on the shoulder and said, "San'er, when you sell charcoal, you have to cut it into small pieces." The reason why I sold you a piece of ocean is because I didn't split it.

Silly San was really obedient, and the next day he cut the beam into small pieces, shouting while burning. People are more happy, how can there be such a stupid master in the world who didn't sell a piece, but burned several pieces in vain?

Silly San was selling it while burning it. The owner of the shroud shop next to him quit. If there was a fire and it affected him, he ran out to stop it.

Silly Trinity stuck his neck and said, "I didn't block the door of your store, why don't you let me sell it?"

The boss said, "Who won't let you sell it? I mean stop burning charcoal. If there is a fire and my store is burned down, can you afford it?"

Silly Third said, "I'm careful. Besides, this is the method given to me by the Fourth Brother Hou, I'll listen to Fourth Brother Hou."

The boss didn't say a word. It turned out that after the Hou Si family caught fire, almost all the traders in Xiushui Hutong gave gifts to Hou Si, and because he was sick those days, he didn't care about it.

Silly Third said, "I bought a piece of ocean from Fourth Brother Hou, and I struggled to chop it in the middle of the night. Are two pieces of ocean okay?"

Without a word, the boss took out two pieces of ocean. After selling charcoal, Silly Three ran to Hou Si's house and told Hou Si the news, saying, "Hou Si, I made a piece of ocean, what business should I do next? I listen to you."

Hou Si was shocked and curious. When he heard that Silly Three actually had two oceans, he immediately became greedy and said, "San'er, do you know who is the richest in Baoding Mansion?"

Silly San shook his head. Hou Si said, "Foreigners! What do foreigners like?"

Silly San still shook his head. Hou Si said, "Chinese antiques! It just so happens that my family had a chamber pot used by Lord Qianlong back then. It's just that it's been a long time and there is a crack. Seeing that you believe in my brother so much, my brother will fulfill you and sell you two oceans."

Silly Third immediately took out the money and took away the "chamber pot used by Master Qianlong." Hou Si laughed so hard that tears came out. What kind of chamber pot used by Master Qianlong used was used by me? He broke down a few days ago and was about to throw it away. This is good.   I sold another two oceans.

Speaking of silly three, he took the chamber pot to Xiushui Alley the next day, and shouted: "The chamber pot used by Lord Qianlong, three oceans, who will buy it?"

People gathered around and laughed to death after reading it. No one paid any attention to Silly Three. In a flash, Silly Three was really persistent and came to sell the "chamber pot used by Lord Qianlong" every day.

One day, Silly Three was shouting loudly. A foreigner walked over, picked up the chamber pot, looked left and right for a long time, then said and gestured for a long time, and finally took out three oceans, handed it to Silly Three, and carried the chamber pot away.

This time, the entire Xiushui Hutong shook. Silly San was even more elated, trotting all the way to Hou Si's house, after saying what had happened, he took out the three oceans and said, "Fourth Brother Hou, what do you think I should do next?"

Hou Si was like listening to the book of heaven, and he didn't recover until Silly Three took out the ocean. God, what kind of luck is this Silly Three? Well, since you are fat pig arch, if I put down the butcher knife, I will be stupid. So he rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, then brother will show you a way to make money. Stop doing business and become a soldier."

"A soldier?Silly San blinked and said, "Why?"

Hou Si said: "In today's world, money is better than power, and power is better than having soldiers. Now President Cao Kun is recruiting troops. You can even make money from foreigners, and you will definitely be favored by President Cao Kun. When the time comes, you will have whatever you want. However, this needs to be done. My adopted brother is a nursing home in Cao Kun's mansion. It only takes six oceans to do that."

Silly San frowned and said, "Fourth Brother Hou, I only have these three oceans. Otherwise, I will write you an IOU, and when I become a soldier, I will give you the money."

Hou Siqiang held back his smile and said, "It's easy to say, who asked me to be a brother?"

A few days later, Silly Three was really treated as a soldier. But when he was a soldier under Cao Kun, he didn't receive his pay once. Silly Three didn't care, anyway, he could eat and drink. But when others didn't do it, they held their breath and cursed Cao Kun one after another. To be the president, you have money when canvassing votes, but you have no money when you pay military salaries, so a company commander took the lead and secretly assassinated Cao Kun. The method was to bomb Cao Kun's mansion - Baoding Guangyuan. It just so happened that Silly Three was the soldier under the company commander. Since the Silly Three were stupid and easy to use, the company commander arranged Silly Three to be the loader.

When Silly Three learned that he was going to bomb Cao Kun, he immediately quit. Hou Si had said that he would be taken by Cao Kun, but now that he wanted to kill Cao Kun, wouldn't my prosperity be in vain? But he was also very afraid of the company commander, so on the night before the bombardment of the presidential palace, he went to Hou Si's house and told Hou Si about it.

Hou Si's face turned pale, and he hurriedly pulled Silly Three to see his adopted brother. Therefore, Cao Kun knew about this and hurriedly left the Garden of Light. As soon as his front foot left, there was an explosion on his back foot. It turned out that after the company commander learned that Silly Three was missing, he felt that something was wrong and fired in advance.

Cao Kun narrowly escaped this calamity and immediately sent someone to catch all the participants. After dealing with this matter, Cao Kun rewarded his merits and personally received Silly Three, Hou Si and other people. When Wang Ba looked at the mung bean, Cao Kun fell in love with Silly Three at a glance, and immediately kept Silly Three by his side. Why? Before Cao Kun made his fortune, he was called: Cao San Fool. This is also considered "Heroes cherish heroes".

Silly Three had reached the sky in one step, so he naturally couldn't forget Hou Si. He said good things about Hou Si in front of Cao Kun. Cao Kun was persuaded and asked Hou Si, "Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Hou Si Duo was so generous that he didn't want to reward him. Cao Kun was so moved that he called out "the style of a national scholar", and finally waved his hand and said, "Since you don't want it, if I force it, it seems that I will lose the style of a gentleman..." Speaking of this, he frowned.

Hou Si scolded in his heart: I'm just being humble, but you really don't give a reward? No wonder you were bombed. But his mouth was still impassioned: "It is my duty and supreme honor to serve the president. The president doesn't have to worry about this trivial matter. The President's heart should be filled with Jiangshan Sheji and the people of the world."

Cao Kun nodded again and again and said, "Well said! Just because I have Jiangshan Sheji and the people of the world in my heart, I have decided to reward you with something of extraordinary significance." As he said that, he held out a chamber pot. Silly Three and Hou Si were dumbfounded when they saw it, this is the chamber pot that Silly Three sold to foreigners.

It turned out that a foreigner bought a chamber pot in Xiushui Hutong, which actually became news that shook Baoding Mansion. All kinds of "shocking news" flew all over the sky: what chamber pot was used by Qianlong and was a priceless treasure; what foreigner bought the chamber pot with ulterior and sinister intentions; what chamber pot was engraved with a dragon vein diagram. Once the chamber pot was shipped away by the foreigner, it would be subjugated... In short, the more it spread, the more evil it became, and finally it reached Cao Kun's ears.

Out of curiosity, Cao Kun asked his subordinates to pretend to be a businessperson and find the foreigner. One was to find out, and the other was to see if he could buy it back. As a result, the foreigner sold it cleanly for five dollars. As for why he bought it at that time, the foreigner said: "It looks fun, especially the Chinese who sells chamber pots. It's more fun, and he bought it on a whim."

After Cao Kun found out, he was annoyed. Wasn't he full? But if he threw it away, he felt lost face, so he had to let someone put it away first and lied that it was for other uses.

Now, it really comes in handy. But how did Cao Kun know that the two people in front of him were the initiators of the chamber pot incident. In order to show his solemnity, Cao Kun said with a straight face: "This chamber pot was used by Emperor Qianlong back then, and it can be called a national treasure, but it was stolen by foreigners. I only chased him back half a month ago, and there is only one purpose: I am a Chinese thing, and I must not be exiled to other countries. Now, I solemnly reward this chamber pot to you, and I am the right to show my will to the people of the world: I will do my best, and after death, even if it is a chamber pot, I will keep it!"

Hou Si took the chamber pot and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just as he didn't know how to answer, Silly San suddenly cried out, "It's the chamber pot that Lord Qianlong used. I didn't expect it has also been used by the president now.
