Chapter 120: The Child
The master and servant of Hua Lianyue led the horse and walked slowly on the smooth bluestone road, just in time to meet the day of the market, both sides of the road were crowded with people who set up sheds to sell goods, pedestrians rubbed shoulders one after another, bustling, the air was filled with the aroma of various foods, it seemed extremely lively and comfortable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiaoshuang's attention had long been attracted by the dazzling array of snacks on the stall, she threw the reins to Dashuang, and she crowded into the crowd with great interest, picking and choosing to find her favorite snacks.
Dashuang and Hua Lianyue had to accompany her all the way, but fortunately, they were not in a hurry, and they laughed a few words while waiting. A short street, it took half an hour to get out of it.
Xiaoshuang squeezed out of the crowd again, holding a wild taro leaf in his hand like a baby, with a few small pale green translucent snacks on it. It trembles like a crystal jelly that melts at the touch of a button, and the crystal clear color is like a fine jadeite.
"Miss, try this. The lady who sold the pastry said that this is a glutinous rice cake made of glutinous rice flour and fresh mint leaf juice, and red bean paste is added to it. ”
"Hey, it's very comfortable to watch. The bored Hua Lianyue's eyes lit up immediately, she reached out and carefully twisted a piece and put it in her mouth, sweet but not greasy, it melted in her mouth and it was really good. The most rare thing is that after the cold cake is entered, a sweet and refreshing meaning immediately rushes from her nose to her head, which makes people instantly refreshed and refreshed.
"You taste it too. Xiaoshuang sent the glutinous rice cold cake to Dashuang again. Dashuang smiled and tasted a piece, and the refreshing and sweet feeling also made her full of praise.
Hua Lianyue ate two more pieces in a row, and said with a smile: "Go buy some more, this dim sum has a refreshing effect when eaten." I see that my brother has been busy with official business lately, and he is always busy until midnight. The tea is also brewed more and more strongly, and it will hurt the body after a long time. This snack is excellent, and he eats it at night not only to refresh but also to fill his stomach. ”
"Okay, I've got to get it soon. You don't know, that aunt's craftsmanship is good, if it's late, I'm afraid those glutinous rice cakes will be snatched up. Xiaoshuang smiled and turned around and squeezed into the crowd.
Dashuang sighed secretly on the side, these days, she has watched her young lady and Huo Lianjue become more and more intimate, and the yamen is simply as respectful as if her own young lady is a genuine county magistrate.
She also inquired secretly, although Huo Lianjue was young and promising, he had no marriage match, and there were no flowers and plants around him, so he looked at Miss as a perfect match for a talented man and a woman.
It's just that...... The cold poison brought out of the mother's womb on the young lady's body is like a hibernating poisonous snake, and she doesn't know when it will wake up.
She secretly touched her arms, which contained a purse that she never dared to leave. Pretending that she and Xiaoshuang joined hands, it took a lot of effort to steal the ambergris phoenix pill from under the nose of Uncle Ming in the Valley of Hundred Flowers.
It's just that this elixir doesn't know how many times it can save Miss! Forget it, as long as Miss can always be so happy, it's more important than anything else.
Thinking of this, Dashuang steadied his mind and said, "Lord Huo still likes to eat Jin Fengxiang's ham crisp, why don't we bring some back together!"
"That's a good idea. Hua Lianyue immediately agreed with a smile: "When Xiaoshuang comes out, let's go to Jin Fengxiang, this time has just passed to catch up with a new round of baking." ”
The two were discussing happily, when a heart-rending child's crying suddenly came. The two of them followed the prestige, and saw a fifty-year-old woman wearing an ordinary green cloth jacket and wrapping her hair with a blue handkerchief, holding a female doll less than two years old and hurrying through the crowd.
The female doll was extremely unstable in the old woman's arms, crying with tears on her face, her pink and tender face was even more red, and her small body was constantly leaning forward and back, punching and kicking.
The old woman's patience was excellent, and she gently patted the child's back while chanting: "Don't cry, don't cry, my mother knows that your stomach hurts." Later, I saw that the doctor grabbed the medicine, and my mother will buy you candy to eat......"
It turned out to be an anxious mother who wanted to take her sick daughter to the doctor. Most of the people who came and went, who had young children, felt pity for the situation, and they gave way to the old woman.
Hua Lianyue was alarmed by the cry of the female doll, so she looked over casually. Just this glance made her immediately suspicious.
Although the female doll is small, it has a white and tender face, big eyes and a high nose, and a red and glamorous small mouth, faintly showing the skin of a beautiful embryo. None of this counts, and the female doll is also dressed very decently. A satin jacket with a water-red silver thread, a pomegranate skirt pressed with multicolored gemstones, and a golden golden lock of longevity hanging around his neck.
Looking at the old woman again, not only did she have goosebumps and a dull yellow complexion, but her clothes were also the most ordinary cheesecloth clothes. She...... Will it be the mother of that female doll?
The old woman passed by Hua Liyue with the female doll in her arms, and when the female doll danced, she happened to grab Hua Liyue's sleeve. Her fleshy fist immediately clenched tightly, refusing to let go in the slightest.
Seeing this, the old woman had to stop, and said with a humble face: "Don't blame the girl, my child is still young, and I didn't mean to offend the girl." ”
While making amends, the old woman went to pick the little meat hands of the female doll. It's a pity that the female doll has small hands and uses great strength, and the old woman didn't open it after picking it for a long time. Suddenly a little annoyed, so secretly pinched the female doll's buttocks.
The female doll was crying non-stop, and her pinching, the sudden sharp pain made the female doll stare at her eyes, open her mouth, and didn't make a sound for a long time. A small face was so red that it could almost drip blood.
Hua Lianyue's cold and dark eyes narrowed, and then the corners of her mouth rose to reveal a sweet smile, and said: "Auntie, where is the child uncomfortable? Look at crying so much that the little face has changed color, it's really pitiful! Come, don't cry, don't cry, my sister will take you to eat a snack......
Hua Liyue coaxed with a smile as she reached out to hug the female doll in the old woman's arms. The old woman's face was obviously stiff, and when she saw that Hua Lianyue was just a little girl and smiled, she didn't seem to have any malicious intent, so she subconsciously let go.
Smoothly holding the female doll in her hand, Hua Lianyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But the smile on her face remained unchanged, she gently shook the soft tender doll in her hand, and whispered: "Don't cry, don't cry, tell my sister what is your name? ”
The female doll arrived in Hua Liyue's arms, although she was still crying, her voice was obviously much smaller. However, she was too young to utter a complete sentence other than simply calling out a few vague syllables.
"She's a**. When the old woman saw this, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to pick her up.
Hua Lianyue pretended not to see it, she casually changed the female doll in her arms to the side, just so that the old woman's outstretched hand was empty. The old woman was empty-handed, and her brows suddenly tightened slightly.
I saw Hua Lianyue patting the child's soft back, and continued to smile and coax: "Chun'er, Chun'er, tell my sister quickly, where is your mother?"
The girl doll looked around with teary eyes, as if looking for her mother. It's just that when her gaze fell on the old woman's face, she obviously cowered a little, and she didn't mean to be close.
Seeing this, Hua Lianyue's heart suddenly became like a mirror. She raised her eyebrows and said, "I think this female doll is very good-looking, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, she will definitely be a great beauty in the future." It's just that the name Chun'er is too casual and doesn't match her at all. You see, calling her Chun'er didn't react at all. It's just that she doesn't like the name herself. Isn't it, Chun'er, Chun'er......"
Hua Lianyue called Chun'er a few times in a row, but the female doll really didn't react at all. She only sobbed with her fingers, but her big eyes looked around the crowd in confusion.
The old woman's face was a little ugly, and she said curtly: "The girl is joking, it's just a female doll, and it can be done by shouting a name, how can there be so much attention." ”
Hua Lianyue smiled lightly: "The name is not particular, but this dress is very particular." Look, it will cost a lot of money to buy such a valuable outfit!"
The old woman's face was obviously a little impatient, she put away her smile, frowned, and said, "Girl, you have too much control! Give me back Chun'er, she has a stomachache and is still waiting to see a doctor, and she can't delay." ”
"Speaking of stomach pain...... Hua Lianyue gently pinched the girl's smooth and tender little face, and said with a surprised face: "When this child is in my hands, why doesn't she cry? ”
"Really, thank you, girl. The old woman was already extremely impatient, and after throwing out this thank you, she forcibly reached out to hug the female doll.
The female doll seemed to be extremely resistant to her, and as soon as her hand touched the female doll's clothes, the female doll's mouth deflated, and a new round of crying began. Only this time the old woman no longer flinched, and used her strength in her hands, and it seemed that she was bound to snatch the child back.
"Big Shuang, stop her. Hua Lianyue snorted softly. Dashuang immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand to block it, and blocked the old woman's hand.
At this time, Xiaoshuang also bought glutinous rice cakes and returned to Hua Lianyue, and Hua Lianyue stuffed the female doll into her arms. So the old woman was completely separated from the doll.
Seeing this, a trace of dark resentment flashed in the old woman's eyes, and it disappeared in only a moment. The old woman, like the most common village woman, patted her thighs, snot, and tears, and shouted pitifully: "Everyone come to see and judge." These girls joined forces to bully our mother and daughter, and they snatched my daughter away and refused to give it back to me. Please have mercy on our mother and daughter, and help me get the child back!"
There were already many people on this road, and when the old woman made such a fuss, many people with good deeds immediately surrounded them. Seeing this, the old woman's eyes flashed with a hint of pride and trickery.
She cried louder and louder, and begged bitterly while humbly: "Poor my family Chun'er is still sick, I rushed to take her to the doctor, if it is delayed, how can I get it." Please, give me back the child......"
The crowd has begun to stir, and many people are whispering. The old woman looked very pitiful, but she was secretly proud in her heart. According to the old practice, there must be someone in the crowd who jumped out to fight the grievances. When the time comes, she will be able to carry the girl back without much effort.
It's a pity that she waited for a long time, and no one stood up for herself, and she didn't even ask questions. She was a little disdainful in her heart, the people in this county were too cold, and they didn't even pull out a knife to help when they saw injustice.
Thinking of this, the old woman secretly pouted. She squeezed out tears and pleaded loudly.
"Don't howl!" Hua Lianyue sneered and watched her sing and write well for a long time, seeing that she squeezed for a long time and there were not a few tears coming out, she couldn't help but say coldly: "She is a two-year-old doll, and you are a fifty-year-old woman." If you say that this doll is your granddaughter, this girl may believe three points. But you said that she was your daughter, and you didn't take care of your own appearance and give birth to such a delicate and transparent female doll?"
"And!" Hua Liyue stretched out her hand again and straightened the messy clothes for the female doll. Then he turned his head to look at the old woman with a changing expression, and said, "Look at what she wears, and what you wear." ”
The crowd burst into laughter. The old woman was annoyed and angry, she wanted to make herself older and poorer, so that she could easily gain the sympathy of others, but she did not expect such a big flaw to be there.
The old woman didn't care about pretending anymore, she wiped the tears that were forcibly squeezed out of her face with her sleeve, spat hard, and scolded angrily: "Let your mother's bullshit! The old lady is such a female doll, so can't she put on all the good things in the house?"
You shameless wild girls, if you want a doll, find a wild man to give birth to yourself. Why rob other people's hearts and talk nonsense. Give me back the baby ......."
As she spoke, she forcibly stepped forward and grabbed it. It's a pity that there are big pairs, and the little ones are flexible, how could she snatch them back. But the little thing that had been teary-eyed, was held by Xiaoshuang and dodged around like this, thinking that he was teasing her, and suddenly lay on Xiaoshuang's shoulder and giggled.
After a few back and forth, the old woman was extremely shocked. She had already tested that her hands were good, and it seemed that if they insisted on refusing to let go, she would definitely not be able to please them today. But if she just gave up the gold ingots in her hand, she was really unwilling in her heart.
She raised her dark and gloomy eyes, looked at the people around her, who were watching the excitement and watching happily, and she was secretly surprised in her heart.
Finally, the people who had watched the excitement for a long time moved. I saw a middle-aged man with a basket on his back, and asked aloud, "What happened?"
The old woman almost jumped up, are these people blind or have a brain problem, and they don't know what happened after watching the excitement for a long time? This time she didn't have to make a scene, her old face was so bitter that it was dripping.
She couldn't help but grit her teeth and shouted, "Didn't you see them snatching my child?" and asked what happened, and didn't help me snatch the child back. ”
The middle-aged man looked at her with disgust on his face and said, "You crazy woman, how can they rob your child from their good girl's family." ”
The old woman was stunned, huh, why did these people's heads suddenly turn bright?
No, she shook her head violently, and crow-like crows, "Of course they robbed my child, and many people here have seen it." It's ...... she" Her fingertips almost pointed to the tip of Hua Liyue's nose, and with the last glimmer of hope, she said sharply: "Snatched the child from my arms." ”
