Chapter 18 Zhu Yingtai's steamed buns

The next morning, Xiaoyu finished washing up early, and went to the door of Xiaoxia's mother-in-law's room like a marquee: "Mother, have you washed up?" Why is it so slow?" If it weren't for the fact that he had to stand at one end in front of everyone, he would have sat at the door of Xiao Xia Pozi and wailed.

Later, I couldn't wait, so I hurriedly ran back to my room to have breakfast with Zhong Min, Zhong Min pointed at her with chopsticks and said, "I told you a long time ago, eat first and then go over." Oops, you slow down, be careful of choking. ”

Xiaoyu drank half a bowl of porridge, ate a few more bites of dim sum and side dishes, and hurriedly ran out again. This time I went to the second sister-in-law: "Second sister-in-law, what a rare opportunity to go out and play all day, why don't you go shopping." The aunt can help take Rulan with you, or let Rulan go around with us. ”

The second sister-in-law fed Rulan with a smile: "I don't have anything to buy, besides, your second brother still has to buy some things, the fifth brother and the eighth brother still have to take care of you, so I won't make trouble." "How can this be a mess? Xiaoyu circled around her several times: "I heard that this Licheng is bigger than our Fengxiang! There are a lot of things from overseas! The shopkeeper told me that there is a storyteller there on West Street, and the talk is very interesting, and there is a monkey who has become a fine and follows an old monk to Tianzhu to learn Buddhism." ”

The second sister-in-law turned around and brought water to Rulan to rinse her mouth, and almost hit Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu's body was so good that she dodged away. The second sister-in-law looked at Xiaoyu a little tired and said apologetically, "I didn't sprinkle it." ”

Xiaoyu waved her hand indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay if it's sprinkled." Thinking about it, I was afraid that she would be too careful: "Besides, I didn't sprinkle it." Second sister-in-law, if you want to go, come over and say, there are so many of us with Rulan, what are you afraid of!"

Rulan clapped her little hands and said, "Monkey spirit, monkey essence." ”

Xiaoyu bent down and grinned and clapped his hands and said, "Rulan also knows that it's fun outside!" and turned his head and said, "Then I'll go first." "With that, the smoke disappeared.

The second sister-in-law let out a long breath and drank the water for Rulan's mouthwash, Rulan pouted and patted the table and said, "Water, Liang, Liang drank my water." ”

was making a fuss, Xiaoyu knocked on the door again and poked her head in: "Second sister-in-law, do you have anything you want me to bring?" I'll go down with Sister Zhong for a spin at this time, and then wait for my mother on West Street." I'll buy you whatever you want to bring. ”

The second sister-in-law smiled: "It's hard for you to have a heart, and I don't have anything to bring." You have fun by yourself, follow your sister Zhong, don't run around. ”

Xiaoyu looked at the second sister-in-law apologetically, thinking that it was so fun outside, but the second sister-in-law couldn't go out, it was so pitiful.

The second sister-in-law was afraid that she would run back again, so she half-covered the door and leaned out to watch Xiaoyu and Zhong Min run out one after the other, so she breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to close the door. took a few small wooden toys made by the fourth brother for Rulan, and thought to himself, "I can finally rest now." “

There is no woman who doesn't love the street, that is, Zhong Min, who is cold by nature, and looks around eagerly as soon as he leaves the inn. Yang Baochen saw Xiaoyu and Zhong Min running out, and hurriedly carried two buns in his arms and touched one in his hand. Walk briskly and eat while walking behind Xiaoyu. The second brother saw it, thought about it, called the fifth brother to tell him to buy supplementary things, and hurriedly followed.

Xiaoyu grew up in the countryside, and her sisters-in-law are not good girls, not even a small jasper. At this time, when I saw Yang Baochen carrying two buns, I couldn't help laughing, and said to Zhong Min: "Do you know Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?"

Zhong Min thought about it and seemed to have heard it with his father in the bazaar, so he nodded, Xiaoyu smiled and pointed at Yang Baochen and said, "I am his master, sister, you go and ask him for a bun to eat." “

Zhong Min only thought she was hungry, so she turned around and asked Yang Baochen for a bun. Yang Baochen hurriedly ran out before he was full, and it was not good not to give it, so he reluctantly gave Zhong Min one.

Xiaoyu didn't take the bun either, and bumped her head with Zhong Mintou and muttered: "I think at the beginning, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai studied together. Zhu Yingtai is a woman dressed as a man, and one day Liang Shanbo said to Zhu Yingtai: "Brother Yingtai, why do you always have a bulging chest. ’”

Xiaoyu tilted her head and asked Zhong Min: "Sister Zhong, do you know how Yingtai answered." ”

Zhong Min was stunned, and immediately blushed with shame: "That's what you say." ”

Xiaoyu grinned and said: Yingtai said this: "Brother Liang, you don't know, I have not been in good health since I was a child. My mother was afraid that I would be hungry, so she asked me to carry two buns on my body every day. As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Baochen with a sinister eyebrow.

Only then did Zhong Min understand that the bun in his hand was like a hot potato, and he didn't throw it or keep it, so he was so angry that he chased Xiaoyu and scolded him: "You Nizi talks nonsense all day long, and you don't have a serious word." Yang Baochen didn't know what was going on in the back, he nodded and ran behind, Zhong Min heard the footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Yang Baochen and his second brother, and angrily threw the bun into Yang Baochen's arms and continued to chase Xiaoyu.

Yang Baochen was inexplicably smashed by the bun, but he was also happy not to starve, and ate happily.

The second brother hurriedly stopped the three of them, didn't let them go far, and walked around the inn. Xiaoyu saw that there were some colorful wooden dolls in the store that sold southern goods, and some colorful wooden dolls were very beautiful, so she picked them up and looked around. Zhong Min saw that she was busy, so she slowly picked out a few fat-headed and fat-brained dolls, touched a few copper plates and came out to buy them, and when she turned around and looked for Xiaoyu, she disappeared.

Fortunately, there were big second brothers and Yang Baochen, only to hear the guys behind them keep saying: "Oops, oops, girl, these haven't been painted yet." Hey...... "Then there was no more, I think it was the second brother and Yang Baochen who saw Xiaoyu behind him."

After a while, he said, "It really can't be cheaper." “

Zhong Min looked inside, but unfortunately the situation inside was completely blocked by the two big men, and he couldn't see anything. After a while, I saw Yang Baochen and the second brother come out with two big bags. The shopkeeper in the back said dejectedly: "This business can't be done." ”

Xiaoyu followed behind the second brother, trotted to the second brother and said: "These little dolls with big pockets are well carved, and they are almost as good as the fourth brother's craftsmanship, but the paint is too bad." When we get to the Northland, we will open a shop to sell these white wooden dolls, and let the children paint and play with them. If you let the people in our shop paint, add a few more copper plates, brother, someone in our shop will paint. ”

The second brother smiled and said, "If not, hire one." ”

Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "No, no, the eighth brother is fine, and he doesn't need money, he can do gold and stone calligraphy and painting." ”

Starling was packing up at the inn with the fifth brother when he suddenly sneezed. He stupidly followed behind the fifth brother and said, "Fifth brother, can't you be alone?" In the pen and ink shop opposite, a few calligraphy and paintings were hung at the door, and Sun Haoran and Tang Luanyi had already gathered around to comment.

The fifth brother gave him a blank look: "Of course not, I still want to finish it as soon as possible and buy something for your fifth sister-in-law." ”

"What to buy? Fifth brother, tell me. Xiaoyu is leading the second brother and Yang Baochen back with four large bags of wooden dolls.

"Rouge or something? Or hairpins?" and turned back to the second brother and said, "Second brother, you can also buy something for the second sister-in-law." ”

The second brother patted her head: "Xiaoyu has grown up, listen to Xiaoyu." As she spoke, Mrs. Xiao Xia also walked downstairs.

Xiaoyu hurriedly leaned over and took a white wooden doll to show Xiao Xia's mother-in-law. Xia Xiucai also came over to take a look and praised Xiaoyu's good idea: "Children definitely like to draw and play by themselves." ”

So the family went to the street, and Xia Xiucai went to the pen and ink shop first. He moved quickly, looked at calligraphy and paintings, and then bought a dozen pens and six or seven inkstones, some for the seventh brother, and some for his friends. Even Mrs. Xiao Xia couldn't help but look at those words in front of them, and commented on them with Xia Xiucai.

Mrs. Xiao Xia took Xiaoyu and Zhong Min to the jewelry shop next door, and Xia Xiucai glanced at it and went to see his calligraphy and painting again. After the second brother and Yang Baochen went in, there was no place for everyone to turn around, so the two of them came out together very self-consciously.

Xiao Xia took some hairpins, arm shackles, and glass handpieces and looked at them one by one, and then looked at the girls and daughters-in-law who came to pick things in the shop. After watching it like this for more than half an hour, Mrs. Xiao Xia said to the shopkeeper with a little apology: "I haven't looked at these things seriously for many years, where did I have such a glass chusse at that time." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This thing is cheap, and even now only little girls and young daughters-in-law play with it." ”

Xiaoyu thought that she must be a young girl, so she carefully took a few comparisons on her wrist.

When Xiao Xia saw it, she left a red one on her wrist: "You put it all at once, where can you see that it is good." Don't be in a hurry, compare them one by one. ”

In the end, I chose a glass bracelet with red flowers on a gold background and a bracelet with white flowers on a blue background. Xiaoyu bought a few more according to the colors that her nieces liked.

In this way, I turned a few jewelry shops, Xiao Xia Pozi picked a big storefront, and the goods looked exquisite and asked the shopkeeper to have a few pairs of heads in the room, Xiao Xia Po first picked a set of gold inlaid treasure lotus heads, Xiao Yu was very happy to see it, and carefully touched the colored gems on it and asked, "Will it be too bright." “

Xiao Xia said: "Your sister Zhong has a peaceful temperament, it's just right to use this." Saying that, he took the top hairpin and carefully put it on for Zhong Min, and Zhong Min was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

Xiaoyu was a little disappointed when she found out that it was not her own, and couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhong Min stiffly holding her neck. Xiao Xia Pozi took two more pairs of hairpins on the side, and Xiaoyu helped bring earrings. Zhong Min suddenly became bright and moving, and Xiaoyu looked at Zhong Min happily: "Sister Zhong, you are so beautiful." ”

Zhong Min's face turned red.

Mrs. Xiao Xia chose a set of jewelry with gold and jade treasures for Mrs. Xia, but only picked a white jade hairpin for Xiao Yu. Zhong Min was embarrassed, and Xiao Xia's mother-in-law smiled: "She is still young, how did she bring such jewelry." ”
