Chapter 40: A chance encounter in Lin'an
In the afternoon, Cai Wei and Nangong Yi went to the support hall on the outskirts of Qingxian County. "Words * love * first * hair
It's been a year since the last time I came here, and the people in the support hall were very happy to see Cai Wei, as if they had seen a long-lost relative, and they were very happy to hush around Cai Wei and ask for warmth, and they were very affectionate.
I haven't seen you for a year, Goudan'er, Zhao Di'er and Xiniu have all grown a lot taller, and they are no longer the yellow and thin little pitiful children when Cai Wei first saw them, and the dog's father is also much more energetic than before, his rickety body is straight, and his complexion is a lot ruddy, Aunt Yin, Xi Niuniang, are also whiter and fatter than when they saw them last year....
Seeing the handsome Nangong Yi, Aunt Yin took Cai Wei's hand and whispered, "Miss, is this my uncle?" Born well, born handsome, reads(); The sword roars all over the world! β
Cai Wei smiled mischievously: "Yes, my husband is a scholar, and he is still a talent." β
Xi Niu Niang said softly: "My aunt is a young talent, it's really amazing, I will definitely be able to lift people in the future!" β
The dog said: "Yes, I will definitely be able to win, let me tell you, little old man, my eyes are poisonous, as soon as I see that my uncle will be able to raise people in high school in the future, or become the life of the county master, when the time comes, your blessing will come!" β
Hearing this, Nangong Yi pursed his lips and smiled at Cai Wei, and then said to the dog Dan'er gently: "Borrowing the old man's auspicious words, if you are in Xia Neng High School, you can be lucky enough to be a county master, and I will personally come to the old man's house to thank you!" β
"What's in the bag, what's in the bag!"
The dog Dan Ye made a stack of tickets.
Looking at the old man's serious expression, Cai Wei and Nangong Yi almost couldn't help laughing and laughing......
Aunt Yin saw that Cai Wei brought another cart of things, and said movingly: "Miss, I let you break the bank again, it's good that you can come, you don't need to take anything!" β
The dog Dan'er also said: "There is a lot of grain in Zhuangzi this year, in addition to us who chew it, we can also sell it for some money, eldest lady, when you come over in the future, don't break the bank again, otherwise we will not go away!" β
Cai Wei said with a smile: "Although our Zhuangzi can lay a lot of grain, but all we grow in the north is corn and millet, and there is no wheat and rice, so I brought a few bags for everyone to keep for everyone to improve their food occasionally." β
Zhao Di'er said crisply: "My sister and brother-in-law have already sent us a bag of white noodles and a bag of rice a few days ago, and we haven't finished eating them yet!" β
The sister and brother-in-law in the mouth of the little baby refer to Gao Sanchun and her husband Cui Sheng, Mrs. Shen Cui before leaving Qingxian, handed over the support hall to Sanchun and his wife to take care of, the little couple are kind-hearted, and the people in the support hall are very good.
Cai Wei heard about the matter that the support hall was handed over to Sanchun and his wife to take care of, and she deliberately looked around, and saw that the support hall was clean inside and out, and the people living in it were also clean and clean, and her spirit was very good, so she put her mind at ease and was very satisfied.
When leaving, everyone enthusiastically sent them outside the gate, and the dog Dan Ye also swore and said: "Uncle, don't worry, when you wait for next autumn, you will definitely be able to go to high school!" When the time comes, we are waiting to drink your happy wine! β
Nangong Yi smiled and parted with everyone, and on the way, Cai Wei laughed and said: "County master, let's go back to the county seat now, or just find a place to enter the space and wait for the white-haired tiger to come back." β
Nangong drove the car, and also smiled and teased: "Xiucai lady, it's still early now, my husband thinks it's better to go to the county town for a walk, it's hard to come out, and next time I think about it, maybe it will be a few months later." β
The man is busy with government affairs, and he can't find time to accompany her out every month, and the north is about to enter the bitter cold season when water turns into ice, even if he can accompany her in the next few months, he won't be able to wander around as gracefully as now.
Therefore, Nangong Yi felt that it was difficult to come out and wanted to accompany her for a good visit!
In the evening, the two returned to the county seat of Qingxian County. After entering the city, at the insistence of Cai Wei, a family of five came to the most famous He roast duck in Qingxian County for dinner, and they asked for a private room near the window, where they could eat while enjoying the street scene outside, which was very romantic and warm.
At this time, it was already evening, and the sky was dyed with golden glow, illuminating the street with golden light, and the pedestrians, cars, horses, and shops on the street, all of them seemed to be plated with a halo, looking soft and serene, and there was a quiet and tranquil beauty. Wolves.
Under this faint, soft halo, Nangong Yi half-bowed his head, his long eyelashes drooped, covering the charming eyes, he looked at the plate in front of him seriously, his white and slender fingers were busy in the plate, helping the children roll lotus leaf cakes one by one, and then distribute the cakes to the children to eat.
A few buns were on the table with their small hands, only their little furry heads were exposed, and they stared curiously at their big watery eyes, staring intently at their father, how cute and cute they looked like.
Nangong Yi glanced at the cute buns, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved slightly, he sped up, dipped the pieces of roasted roast duck meat that was browned and crispy with a little sweet noodle sauce, and then wrapped it in a thin cake, and then handed the cake to one of the buns.
The buns are still very small, and the round and chubby little hands are not very firm, and they often break up the cake after eating two bites, and will drop the duck meat inside on the ground or on their bodies, but grasping and eating is the growth process that children must go through, so Nangong Yi didn't feel a headache, and he didn't help them too much, but when they dropped the things in their hands on the ground, he patiently helped them roll a copy.
Cai Wei took the handkerchief and helped them wipe the sweet sauce stuck to their little hands, the corners of their mouths, and their clothes, and complained happily while wiping: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you, look at you, you eat everything, you eat it to your face!" β
With a muttering mouth, he took the handkerchief and wiped the sauce off the bun's face again......
In the corner of the dining table, Parrot, Changmei and Gui Daxian were also there, they opened their bows left and right, struggling with their share of dinner, gobbling up, and the appearance of gunsmoke was incompatible with the warm atmosphere between the family......
After feeding a few buns and a few mythical beasts, Cai Wei put the buns and beasts into the space, sat face-to-face with the man in front of the window, and slowly began to share the soft and crispy roast duck, and deliberately took out a bottle of flower wine from the space, mixed a plate of cold dishes, and drank with the man, like a couple on a date.
When the wine was half-drunk, there was a commotion on the street downstairs, when Cai Wei turned her head sideways to look out of the window, she saw that on the street downstairs, several middle-aged men twisted a young girl and a young man, pushing and shoving, and coaxing while walking, a woman wearing satin clothes and a colorful silk flower twisted the waist of the bucket, and walked beside the girl angrily, scolding: "Slut, I think you and your mother almost starved to death on the street, and it was the old lady who kindly picked you up the two of you." , delicious and delicious for drinking, raised in the splendid pile, how much has it cost the old lady for you all these years, and now that you have grown up, you can make money back for the old lady, and you will hook up with the poor and starving sour Xiucai, and you are tired of the old lady buying your head and eloping with others, are you worthy of the old lady's cultivation of you over the years? β
The more the mother-in-law scolded, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but stop, and slapped the girl on the face with a bow left and right more than a dozen times, making the girl cry and cry for her mother, screaming again and again.
The young man who was twisted saw that the girl was beaten, and shouted hoarsely: "Mother Xue, please don't beat Yiyi, please, if you want to beat, just beat Wansheng, it was Wansheng who tricked Yiyi and wanted to abduct her." β
When Mother Xue heard this, she crossed her waist, turned around and spat hatefully on her face in the future, and scolded: "You starving poor sour, the old lady sees that you are a scholar, and you are a showman, so she let you enter my Wanhualou to teach the girls to read and read, I didn't think that you actually harbored evil intentions, and wanted to kidnap my girl, if you kidnap an ordinary one, it's just that, but the old lady's Oiran, Yiyi is the old lady's carefully adjusted person, all these years spent the old lady's money can bury you, and I see that it is going to be uncombed and opened, and make money for the old lady, It's been tarnished by your poor acid, how can you let the old lady spare you? β
After that, he said to the thugs: "Escort this pair of dogs and men to the county office, the old lady wants to sue, and now I must know that the county master will separate this poor and sour fame, and then beat the slut cunt of this commotion, so that the old lady can dissipate her anger reads(); The city is captivating! β
Yiyi cried: "Mom, if you want to beat and punish, punish your daughter alone, beg to let Li Xiucai go, it was her daughter who was frivolous and cheap for a while, and when she saw Li Xiucai's handsomeness, she seduced him, and she wanted to elope with him, don't do Li Xiucai's business......"
"Phew, you two sons and eight whores, the old lady can't spare any of them, and you won't escort me away!"
The group left in a commotion, Cai Wei retracted her gaze, looked at Nangong Yi, and said, "Xianggong, what do you think?" Do you want to help them? β
Nangong Yi said indifferently: "The pickled matter in the Qinglou, don't meddle in the lady, according to me, although this pair of men and women is pitiful, but the poor people must have something to hate, just like the woman said, people saved their mother and daughter's lives, and raised her for many years, even if the bustard has bad intentions and expects to sell her in the future, but no matter what, after all, people have saved their lives, and the grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, she doesn't think about reciprocating, and now she is tired of other people's belongings, and eloped with her sweetheart without a sound, Such a selfish and affectionate woman really has nothing to be pitied; And that man, even he himself went to the Qinglou to beg for a living, what did he use to support the woman? This kind of reckless and reckless man has nothing to sympathize with. β
After listening to Nangong Yi's words, Cai Wei suddenly felt that the gap between the angle of men and women looking at the problem was really not ordinary, after she saw the downstairs scene, the first thing she thought of was that the girl Yiyi, as an Oiran, did not love those rich sons who spent a lot of money, and favored this poor talent who was penniless, this kind of woman who regards money as dung and can take the blame for her lover is worthy of praise and respect, but after hearing Nangong Yi's point of view, she felt that Nangong Yi's words were also very reasonable.
In a sense, Yiyi is really selfish, I'm sorry for saving her mother's life, and cultivating her bustard for many years; And that Li Xiucai, people kindly gave him a job, but he went to hook up with other people's girls, he obviously didn't have the ability to support others, and he had to elope with others, which is simply unbelievable.
"The affairs between men and women, in addition to love, also have responsibility and morality, if it is for their own selfish love, they abandon responsibility and morality, and the love between them is also despicable, dirty, and not worthy of praise!" Nangong Yi commented lightly, and then as if he thought of something, he added: "Of course, if two people who love each other have the ability to shoulder their responsibilities and can stand up morally, it is another matter. β
Hearing his hurried addition, Cai Wei smiled, knowing that he was thinking of their relationship at the beginning, at that time, Nangong Yi always remembered his responsibilities, refused to marry Cai Wei as his wife, and wanted to take her as a concubine!
However, fortunately, his concept changed later, otherwise, Cai Wei would never have compromised!
This incident was quickly forgotten by Cai Wei, and after the meal, the two of them changed before the meal and drove away. Walking to a quiet place, Cai Wei put the carriage and her own men into the space, waiting for the white-haired tiger to pick them up in the evening.
β¦β¦
Lin'an House
Lord Shen, with his wife Cui's and daughter Shen Juhua, has rushed to Lin'an Mansion all the way, day and night, and the family has stayed at the famous Yuelai Inn in Lin'an Mansion, and the people have also driven the carriage and horse into the yard, carrying luggage, unloading the car, and tethering the horse, and they are very busy.
Chrysanthemum in the company of her mother, lived in a high room in the Yuelai Inn, it was very late, Mrs. Shen Cui stayed in the car for a day, she was already tired, she was going to wash and sleep after dinner, but when Chrysanthemum just passed by the bustling and rich street of Lin'an Mansion, she was fascinated by the spectacular and extravagant scenery on the street, and she was pestered by the soft grinding and hard bubbles, and she had to go out to visit the evening market.
Although Mrs. Shen didn't want to go, she couldn't bear to see her daughter begging her like this, so she had to agree. The black princess of the belly of the crossing breaks into the rivers and lakes.
After dinner, the family of three took the maid and a few nurses, and went to the most famous evening market in Lin'an Mansion.
Lin'an Prefecture is a big city after Kyoto, and it is famous for its night markets, with many shops open all night.
When night falls, the businesses on both sides of the street hang up red lanterns, one by one, illuminating the entire street in red, bright and bright colors.
Under the light, all kinds of stalls are placed out one by one, one after another to sell, there are so many kinds of goods, so that Chrysanthemum feels that her eyes are not enough, and she has to look at each stall for a while, rouge gouache, enamel jewelry, diorama, she is dizzying, the whole person is excited like a child, jumping from this stall to another stall, every novelty can make her happy for half a day.
Cui's saw that her daughter was happy, so she was naturally happy, but she was old, not as energetic as Chrysanthemum, and after running with her for a while, she obviously felt powerless, so she asked Lord Shen to follow her daughter, helped the girl's hand, and went back to the car to wait for the time being.
Today is the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the annual Double Ninth Festival, in Qingxian County, every time this festival, everyone will put dogwood on their heads, climb the mountain and look far away, but the Shen family is busy on the road, so they forget about the Double Ninth Festival.
I saw a lot of people on the street with dogwoods on their heads, and I remembered. Chrysanthemum bought a few pieces of Chongyang cakes and shared them with her father, Xiaokui and a few nursing homes, which was considered to be in response to the occasion, and sent a nursing home to send the remaining cakes to the car for her mother to eat.
Chrysanthemum continued to stroll around the evening market with great interest, while watching and reporting to his father what he had seen and heard, Lord Shen smiled lovingly, whenever his daughter fancied something, no matter whether it was useful or not, he would buy it generously and coax his daughter to be happy.
Passing by the stall selling snacks, I suddenly smelled a pungent smell, which stinked very much.
Lord Shen frowned and said, "How can there be such a smell on such a prosperous street, but there is something rotten and stinky nearby?" β
Before the words fell, I heard a hawker shouting loudly: "Fried stinky tofu, three pieces of five pieces and two pieces, taste it first and buy it later, it doesn't cost if it's not deliciousββ"
Chrysanthemum's eyes lit up and said, "Dad, I want to eat stinky tofu!" β
Lord Shen twisted his face and said, "How do you get this kind of pickled thing in your mouth?" Why don't you go over there and eat steamed crabs! β
"Don't!"
Chrysanthemum stood in place and said stubbornly: "My daughter heard Caiwei say that stinky tofu is very delicious, and everyone can eat it, so what can't I eat?" β
"Hey, you kid, this is willful!"
Lord Shen complained in his mouth, but he couldn't bear to refuse her, so he had to order the two nurses to follow her into the stall to eat, and he stood far away, he really couldn't stand the disgusting smell.
Chrysanthemum took Xiaokui, ignoring the bitter faces of the two nurses, squeezed in with great interest, sat down at the simple table and chairs, and said to the vendor: "Bring me a stinky tofu and put more chili peppers!" β
Then he turned around and asked the two nurses with a smile: "Do you want it?" β
The two nurses were startled, waved their hands again and again, and said with a breath: "No, no, you can eat by yourself, don't worry about us!" β
"What about you?"
She kindly asked Xiaokui again, Xiaokui pinched her nose and said resolutely and decisively: "Don't reads(); [You from the stars] Professor, let's be together! β
"Hmph, I don't know the goods!"
Chrysanthemum muttered, turned her face, and watched eagerly as the vendor served stinky tofu for her.
The stinky tofu was put out and placed in front of Chrysanthemum, and Chrysanthemum's face twitched, and her expression was a little stiff.
Belch...... This one...... Sure enough~ it stinks!
However, since Cai Wei said that it was delicious, it must be delicious, and she always believed in Cai Wei more than herself!
Chrysanthemum pinched a bamboo skewer, endured the pungent stench, and carefully took a bite on the green little square, and suddenly, a fragrance that she had never experienced overflowed her mouth, making her eyes suddenly light up.
"Hmm... It's delicious, it's really delicious! β
She screamed in surprise, pointed to the green stinky tofu in her bowl, and persuaded Xiaokui: "Xiaokui, eat some, it's really delicious!" β
Xiaokui was so frightened that she almost knelt down for her, and begged: "Miss, just spare me, the slave can't afford such delicious things, so you should keep it for yourself!" β
"Cut, don't eat pull down!"
Chrysanthemum ate it in small bites! Seeing Xiao Kui's grinning teeth, the two nurses were also nauseous, and almost vomited.
A bowl full of stinky tofu was eaten, Chrysanthemum touched her round belly, told Xiaokui to pay the bill, and returned to her father's side satisfied.
"Dad, Cai Wei didn't lie to me, that stinky tofu is really delicious!"
Lord Shen smelled the smell of his daughter's body, and couldn't help but hide backwards, and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious...... Hehe......"
"What a pity!"
Chrysanthemum said regretfully: "I was too full for dinner, so I didn't eat much, let's pack some and bring some back when we go back later, and give my mother a taste." β
Lord Shen's mouth grew twice, and he said 'uh' twice, and he didn't know whether he was agreeing or being disgusted.
Without waiting for an accurate reply from Lord God, Chrysanthemum was attracted by a loud shout.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, let's try your luck, tie darts, you can play and give gifts!"
There were a lot of people in front of her, and some people were beating gongs and drums and shouting, which suddenly attracted Chrysanthemum's attention, she ran two steps quickly, squeezed into the crowd, and wanted to see the excitement.
On the tree in front of him hung a large disc of unknown material, with a circle of colored markings, and in the center was a red heart, and a man in his twenties was shouting vigorously, looking like the owner of the stall.
"Old and young masters, there are like to make a fortune, the circles on this are different colors, there are gifts in the tie, everyone see, the outer circle has chopsticks, silk flowers, small boxes of rouge gouache, combs, and wooden basins that we can use at home, porcelain bowls, and the three circles inside are a set of tea sets, jade bracelets and jade pendants."
The peddler's voice was loud, and the shouting could be heard far away, and he also pointed to the bits and pieces on the side and said, "Look, the gifts are here, if you don't like it, you can also exchange the same value, don't miss the opportunity, it's a fresh reads(); Cold night and snow! β
"How much is this to throw a dart?"
"yes, give me a few times!"
"Don't worry, everyone queue up, a penny at a time, absolutely real! Cast five times to make money in a wooden basin! β
The hawker is very good at adjusting the atmosphere, and many of the people who play hard next to him are gearing up, and they have handed over the copper plates.
But the disc is not so easy to throw, the strength of the dart is not enough to hit it, fortunately the first man has a lot of strength, there are two brushes, he bought ten times, throw a silk flower, this silk flower workmanship is also very meticulous, the silver building can not be bought for ten cents, and finally stand aside with the silk flower happily, saying that there is a silk flower, go home and the daughter-in-law is also good to make a good deal, but it caused a goodwill laughter.
The atmosphere has been adjusted, there are more people, more people spend copper plates to buy darts, but some people's accuracy is really not very good, buy ten cents, all deviate from the disc, everyone for a while, he doesn't mind, saying that this kind of game is very fun, and he is not disappointed if he doesn't get anything.
"This looks very interesting, Xiaokui, give him ten cents, and I will try your young lady too!" Chrysanthemum saw that everyone was playing so lively, and she wanted to try her luck, not for the reward, but to watch others play and think it was good, and wanted to join in the fun.
However, no one around her responded, and when she looked back, she saw Xiao Kui, the nursing home, and Lord Shen all standing outside the crowd looking at her, probably because of the stench on her body.
Most of the people around her are from Lin'an Mansion, and they are very familiar with the smell of stinky tofu, and they don't have anything uncomfortable with chrysanthemums standing next to them, unlike their fathers and nurses who are northerners, and when they smell the smell, they think of feces and urine or something, and they are disgusted and want to vomit out.
"Cut, it's tasteless!"
Chrysanthemum sneered disdainfully, took out ten cents from his purse, handed it to the peddler, and said generously: "I want to shoot ten times!" β
"Hey, miss, you later, it'll be yours when this master finishes ejaculating!"
Chrysanthemum glanced casually at the hawker's gesture, then her eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost, and pointed at Liu Xi: "You..." Why are you here? β
Liu Xi was also taken aback when he saw Chrysanthemum, and asked, "Why are you here?" β
