Chapter 253: A useless man
The snow was falling heavily, and the snow in the yard was very deep, Wu Dalang was about to go out to sell cooking cakes, looking at him shivering from the cold, thinking about his short body, and carrying a heavy burden to sell along the street, a gust of wind blew over, and he must have fallen into the snowdrift with the burden. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He is also a man who cares about the family, Jin Lian thought in her heart like this, and felt a little pity for him.
"Da Lang, with such a big snowstorm, how can there be passers-by on the street? Who will come to buy cooking cakes and rest for a day. ”
Wu Dalang said with a sad face: "I only make these few cooking cakes, thinking that if there are fewer people who buy them, I will make a little less, if we don't sell them, we will keep them for food, how long will we eat them?"
Jin Lian remembered that the families near the courtyard were all poor families, so she said: "Let's leave more than 20 of them, and send the rest to the neighbors, there will be more troubles for the neighbors in the future." ”
Wu Dalang obediently listened to Pan Jinlian's instructions, and really went to deliver cooking cakes one by one. Wu Dalang sent the cooking cakes, and Jin Lian found out the half-brewed wine left after the person who congratulated her on the wedding day, took out a delicate porcelain wine jug from the box she was married to, and poured the wine warm in the steamer. Find a few eggs and a handful of leeks, fry them, make a plate of soybeans, cut a plate of cured meat, and wait for Wu Dalang to come back.
Pan Jinlian thought about Ge Xiucai's words to persuade her, and thought of the seven days of life and death; Wu Dalang is indeed ugly, and people don't want to see more; but Zhang Shanren, the housekeeper and the others are ugly in their hearts and bones, which makes people feel scared, and now it's like this, Jinlian She can only accept her fate, God doesn't want her to die, can she fight God?
Wu Dalang came back, although his face was red from the cold, he said happily: "Lady, the neighbors all praise you for your wisdom and praise me for being blessed." ”
Jin Lian asked him to sit down, handed him a warm glass of wine, and pointed to the dishes on the table: "Try my fried dishes, how does it taste?"
Wu Dalang stood up and said: "Lady, please, I can marry such a first-class character as a lady, it is a blessing from my martial family's previous life, and my wife is too wronged to marry me." However, people say that the first generation of cultivation comes to cross the same boat, and the tenth generation of cultivation comes to sleep together, which is also our fate, and I will be good to you for the rest of my life. ”
In this way, Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang became a veritable husband and wife.
Pan Jinlian has been married to Wu Dalang for five months, and her heart has slowly calmed down. Although there are thousands of unwilling, ten thousand unwilling, but life has to go on, not to mention Wu Dalang's love for her, she can also feel it.
Jin Lian didn't want to look at the lanterns last year, because she was in Zhang's Mansion at that time, and she was being tortured by Zhang Shanren and the housekeeper, and she was not in the mood to see it, but this year she got married, not a slave, but a free body, and she should also change her mood and be happy. Besides, Jin Lian has grown so big, and she has never seen such a beautiful lantern seriously, so Jin Lian said to Wu Dalang that she wanted to see the lantern.
Wu Dalang thought for a long time before saying, "Lady, if you are not afraid of other people's gossip, then let's eat earlier." ”
Jin Lian was very happy, took out the rouge pollen in the box for the wedding, painted it on and down, and took the small bronze mirror given to her by her mother to take pictures before and after until she was satisfied. and put on a cotton robe sprinkled with yellow flowers on a big red background, this dress is particularly fitting, and when you wear it, the whole person is slender and figure. A silver hairpin inlaid with pearls was inserted on his head, and Wu Dalang smirked beside him: "Lady, you are almost the same as the fairy in the New Year's painting." ”
Jin Lian followed Wu Dalang slowly to the most prosperous area of Qinghe County, one by one are all shops, what silk shops, ready-to-wear shops, gold and silver jewelry, antiques, etc., what grocery stores, rice shops, pastry shops, small hotels, teahouses, etc. on the other side of the street, I can't count them.
The doors of the shops are closed, but under the eaves hang all kinds of lamps, including birds and animals, tigers, lions, elephants, peacocks, and phoenixes, as well as simple fruit and vegetable lamps, pumpkins, lotuses, and peaches.
Follow to the center of the intersection, this is the essence of the lamp, the center of the intersection is more spacious, pull the long rope, and tie the lamp made by the lamp-making master invited from Jiangnan in recent years, because these lamps are not only well-made, the lights made are lifelike, and what is more rare is that these lamps are a group of a group, a group is a story.
Liu Hai plays the toad, which is a woodcutter and a big toad; the eight immortals crossing the sea are Zhang Guolao, Uncle Cao Guo, He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi and other eight people, riding donkeys,, etc., in different postures, lifelike; others such as Magu offering longevity, heavenly maiden scattering flowers......
Pan Jinlian grew so big, the first time she saw such a beautiful lamp, she couldn't help but be fascinated, she was staring at the Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers group lamp, to see what kind of lamp was composed of scattered flowers, suddenly there was a young and decent face inserted between her line of sight and the lamp, she was startled, I don't know what was going on? The expression on that face was very improper, he said to Jinlian with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't look at the lights, it's enough for us to look at you, you are much more beautiful than the girl and Aunt Ma." ”
Immediately, another man of the same age as him also crowded around Jin Lian: "Boy, are you greedy, do you know who the man your sister-in-law marries?"
"With such a beautiful woman as my sister-in-law, the person who marries must be a pink-faced gentleman, the third son of the gold and silver store?"
"No, guess again!"
"That's the second master of the Silk Village?"
"Don't guess, you can't dream of it, let me tell you, her man is Wu Dalang, who sells cooking cakes. ”
"Oh my God, how can this dog's Wu Dalang have such a good fortune? Is it really that Wu Dalang who is called a three-inch Ding bone skin, right?"
"That's right, it's that Wu Dalang. ”
"Phew, it's really a flower stuck in cow dung, why doesn't Lao Tzu have such a blessing?"
Pan Jinlian was ashamed, anxious, angry, and annoyed, and tears flowed helplessly, who did she provoke? How much she hoped that Wu Dalang could rush up, drive away these wild bees and butterflies, and show manly spirit, so that no matter how ugly and poor he was, Jin Lian would grow old with him without regrets.
But Wu Dalang didn't appear, but there were more and more people watching the excitement, and Pan Jinlian was surrounded, Jin Lian frantically pushed away those men with her hands, they refused to give way, Jin Lian grabbed with her hands, pinched with her nails, and even kicked with her feet, acting like a crazy woman.
When he rushed out of the crowd, Jin Lian was already scattered, disheveled, and full of tears, and after looking for a long time, he found Wu Dalang in a dark corner, he was standing there trembling, Jin Lian ran over and kicked him twice: "I have been bullied by others, you don't come forward, you are still hiding here, are you still a manly husband?"
Wu Dalang muttered: "I asked you not to come a long time ago, but you don't listen, and you still blame me?"
Pan Jinlian's interest was gone, and he squeezed through the crowd with Wu Dalang and went back, such a man is too cowardly and too cowardly, think about his father and Ge Xiucai, they are so manly, in comparison, Wu Dalang is really too bad. Pan Jinlian was completely disappointed in this man and gave up completely.
Since returning from watching the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Pan Jinlian never expected that she and Wu Dalang would fall into another disaster, and people would constantly harass them. Because the prodigal children were foul language to Jin Lian on the street, no one dared to stand up for Jin Lian, and they knew that Jin Lian's husband Wu Dalang was a notoriously cowardly person, so they went to their home to be harassed, which became their new way of seeking fun.
Early in the morning, Wu Dalang, who had not yet gone out to make cooking cakes, was packing up his burdens when he heard several people shouting at the door: "Wu Dalang, come out!"
When Wu Dalang opened the door, he saw that there were a few young people in their twenties who were brightly dressed, oily-haired, and powdery, and at first glance, they were the kind of people who had a solid family background, were favored by their parents, and they did not learn or know how to do it. A few young people said, "You are Wu Dalang?"
"I am, what are you looking for me?"
As he spoke, the young people entered the courtyard gate and stood in the courtyard, where Pan Jinlian heard them chattering.
"You change your career, you don't have to cook any more cakes. ”
"I can only make cookcakes, I can't do anything else. ”
"Don't you have a beautiful lady? Just ask her to play with us every day, eat and drink, and you only have to help us buy wine and cook, and serve us well, and we will keep you several times the money you earn from selling cooking cakes. ”
Wu Dalang was trembling with anger, but he didn't know what to do. On the night of the Lantern Festival, Jin Lian held her breath, and there was no place to vent, looking at this man who couldn't even protect herself, what else could Jin Lian expect him to do?
Jin Lian took Wu Dalang's flat pole for picking cooking cakes in her hand, calmly walked to the gate of the courtyard, and held the flat pole high: "Where are the wild dogs from here, come here and howl and bark? Roll out, don't roll, don't roll, I want flowers on your heads!"
Those little hooligans had never seen such a formation, and they were busy fleeing from the courtyard to the courtyard gate, Pan Jinlian hurriedly closed the courtyard door, and even used the big pole of the door bolt at the top gate. Wu Dalang stayed in the courtyard and didn't say a word, Jin Lian wanted to close the door and it was always safer, after all, they were not robbers, and they didn't dare to do anything excessive in broad daylight.
After a while, the little young people came back to their senses, and instead of being angry, they said with a smile: "This pretty lady starts a fire, it's more pretty than not getting angry, it's really fun, the little lady is angry today, and we'll come back tomorrow." Then I heard the laughter fade away.
When Wu Dalang saw such a formation, where did he dare to sell cooking cakes, so he had to leave some cooking cakes, give some of them to his neighbors, and then close the door tightly.
But what if they come back tomorrow?
