Chapter 8 Freedom

In this world, there is no distinction between high and low worries about marriage, the Son of Heaven has the troubles of the Son of Heaven, and ordinary people also have the anger of ordinary people.

It wasn't until the two servants of the Qin family retired that Mrs. Zhou's hidden anger erupted with the drop of the teacup.

"What are they doing with me in the Qin family?" She shouted.

"Mother." Saturday Lang came from outside, knelt down and saluted.

He had been waiting outside, and when he saw the Qin family leave, he hurried in.

"This is what Qin Langjun meant, it's not that Mrs. Qin broke her word and became fat and capricious." He said.

Mrs. Zhou glared at Liulang angrily for a moment, and then changed her mind.

"You, you indisputable thing!" She scolded, sat up straight and pointed at Liuliulang, "Do you think that if the Qin family doesn't marry her, you will be able to marry her?" Don't! ”

Saturday Lang blushed.

"I didn't want to marry her." He said, "Mother, she is not suitable for the Qin family. ”

Mrs. Zhou took a sip.

"I gave birth to you, can you hide from me with that little heart?" She scolded, "She's not suitable for the little lame man of the Qin family, but she's suitable for you, isn't she?" ”

Saturday Lang straightened up.

"Mother, don't be a little cripple!" He couldn't help but shout.

Mrs. Zhou looked at him and stretched out her hand to cover her heart.

"Look, look." She said, "Now start talking back to me, for that!" ”

"Mother, if you want her to treat the thirteen legs, you can't marry into the Qin family, the Qin family has no other meaning, that's what it means, don't think about it too much." Liuliulang got up and said, turned around and strode away.

Mrs. Zhou burst into tears of anger.

"Then will I still go to Jiangzhou?"

After hearing the news, Master Zhou, who rushed to listen to Mrs. Zhou's continuous crying, groaned for a moment and asked.

"Go. Why don't you go. Sooner or later. There is no Qin family this time, there are other families, I will definitely marry her out of Lu! Mrs. Zhou said.

A spring rain came urgently, and pedestrians on the street quickened their pace.

Three or four people stood in front of the immortals.

"Come and eat here on a rainy day, it's best." One said.

but was pulled by another.

"This is boring and expensive, I'll take you to eat something better." He laughed.

"However, the passing fairy is delicious." The previous man hesitated.

"Happy and free, like a passing fairy. But it's even tastier. The man said, pulling the two of them, "Go, go, by the way, don't you still want to see the new Oiran of the Moon Tower?" This immortal dwelling, only passing immortals, but not to invite the Oiran. ”

In this way, the Immortal Residence has been hearing more and more recently, and the shopkeeper in front of the door, who was originally going to welcome customers, watched the group of people leave and glanced at each other.

"Go tell the shopkeeper." One of them said. Turned around and ran in.

A crisp cracking sound came from one of the rooms in the middle of the immortal residence.

"Go show me, show me. What is it to see that Dena is happy! Dou Qi shouted, his face became more and more pale, and the flowers on his sideburns trembled.

Here, Cheng Jiaoniang walked out, and Jin Ge'er, who got the news, ran over happily.

"Lady, are you going to take us shopping?" He asked.

Cheng Jianniang has changed into the clothes to go out, this is the spring shirt sent by Mrs. Chen, the cinnabar-colored skirt, the golden begonia flower shirt, Zhilu said that this woman likes plain clothes, but as an elder woman, she thinks that young girls should be bright, so there is this fusion of inner and outer beauty.

Because I had to go out, my hair was pulled up, and there was still only a small silver comb.

The maidservant girl came from behind and put the fence on Cheng Jianniang.

"yes, you don't want to go? Are you still afraid of losing it again? She laughed.

The young man was not happy to be teased by the girl, Jin Ge'er snorted.

"Sister Banqin, I'm not afraid of you." He said, happily opening the door.

Cheng Jianniang stepped forward, the maidservant girl followed, and looked back when she thought of something.

The corridor retracted his head.

"Banqin, let's go." The handmaid smiled and beckoned to her.

People don't call their own names, so everyone knows who she calls her.

Banqin hurriedly shook his head.

"I, I'll take care of the house." She said.

"Look at what kind of home, in this Qingming and prosperous era, if a thief comes to the house, the people of the yamen should die." The maid smiled, and simply walked over and pulled her, "Go, go, the lady is kind enough to take us to play, don't you give the lady face." ”

Banqin was uneasy and didn't dare to refuse, so she timidly followed the maidservant over.

"I'll lead the way, Banqin, you support the lady over there." The maidservant said, not waiting for Banqin to speak again, she had already pointed out the door, "Our house is in a good location, and when you get out of here, it is the most lively street market..."

Banqin hesitated for a moment and watched Cheng Jianniang follow the maid out, and she was busy following.

Jin Ge'er happily locked the door after the last day.

It has been several months since they came to the capital, and this is the first time that their master and servant have gone out shopping.

In the spring, there are more and more people on the street, as the flowers gradually bloom, there are more and more men, women and children who come and go to the hairpins, and the street is lined with shops, and all kinds of shouting and ups and downs are non-stop.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This bridge can be reached all the way to the outside of the city gate. The maidservant pointed to the hole under the stone bridge at her feet and said, "It is said that there is a big worm in it..."

Jin Ge'er was holding a few fruits in his hand to eat, and laughed when he heard this.

"Sister Banqin, you coax me again." He said, "The big insects are all in the mountains, how can they come to the capital?" ”

"I didn't coax you." Banqin, who was already standing tightly beside Cheng Jianniang unconsciously, subconsciously said, "I've heard people say that there really is..."

Brother Jin's maidservants, and Cheng Jianniang all looked at her.

Looking at this multi-faceted look, Banqin suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly looked uneasy.

Listen to people....

At that time, she had just come to the capital, and as a servant girl favored by Liulang, she was unanimously flattered by the top and bottom.

It will be taken by people to go shopping, take to see the beautiful scenery in Beijing, and listen to various market rumors in Beijing.

But at that time, she was not happy.

Banqin lowered her head and nose was sour and spicy.

"I don't know about this, I've only heard of it, and I don't know what it's all about." The maid smiled, and reached out to shake Banqin's arm with some curiosity. "Good sister. Let's talk about it. ”

Banqin hesitated and didn't dare to look up.

"....It is said that a rich businessman caught and raised. Later, I ran away, and I searched the city at that time, but I couldn't find it, so there was a curfew for a long time, and the big worm actually spent more than a month in the bridge hole. She said with her head down.

"And what does it eat?" Jin Ge'er asked curiously.

"This is a dry road, and there are rats and wild dogs running in it, if it weren't for the heavy rain in Beijing later, the drainage could not be completed. The big worm ran out and found out, otherwise I don't know how long I would have been hiding. Banqin said, and couldn't help but raise her head when she said this.

"Hah, that's interesting." Jin Ge'er said happily.

"Interesting, lady?" The maid asked Cheng Jianniang with a smile.

Banqin's half-hanging gaze was a little nervous.

"Well, that's interesting."

When the female voice came, Banqin breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, pursed her lips and couldn't help but smile.

"It's been a long time, let's go eat." Cheng Jianniang said, stretching out her hand and stepping off the bridge.

There were many people coming and going on the bridge, and the maidservant and Banqin were protecting her from left to right.

"Where is the best store in Beijing?" The maidservant said. While looking at Banqin, "Where has my sister been?" ”

This time, I was asked about the fact that I had come to the capital first. Banqin was not as ashamed as Shicai, but thought about it seriously.

"I've only been to Chunfengdu and Liutangju." She said.

"Oh, those two." The maidservant waved her hand and said, "The prostitutes who drink in front of the hall are the most cunning. Looking at Cheng Jiaoniang again, "Lady, why don't we go to Chun Yihe?" The wine was not good, but it was in a good location and the food was excellent. ”

While they were talking, they had already walked out into the street, a street restaurant, a teahouse, and a walk.

"That's it." Cheng Jianniang said, "You don't have to go to the main store in Haolu. ”

"That's right, no matter how good the store is, can it be better than Taipingju?" The handmaid laughed.

Jin Ge'er and Banqin both laughed, and the group casually approached the nearest one.

"Lady, please."

The shopkeeper greeted him warmly.

There is only one floor of the ordinary restaurant, and there are no private rooms, all of them are scattered in the hall, and there are already many people sitting at this time, Cheng Jianniang and others picked the innermost seat and sat down.

"Two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and a bowl of tea and a pot of white water can be sent." The maidservant said.

The shopkeeper sang loudly, like all restaurants, the main meal is cold before it comes up, the difference is that the cold dishes in the famous restaurant are delicate and the materials are also expensive, and the ordinary restaurant is a simple fruit preserves.

A new guest walked in outside the door.

"Shopkeeper, can you have fun?"

This sentence came out of the chaos, which made the maid startled, and couldn't help but raise her head.

The three people sitting at a table are ordering food with the shopkeeper.

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Happy and comfortable, is the guest officer an element or a meat?" Hemp or consommΓ©? Ten dishes or four dishes? ”

As soon as he heard the report, the three people who ordered the food looked fine, and the maidservant stared wide-eyed.

"This, this, this happiness, there are so many tricks?" She couldn't help but blurt out.

"That's nature."

The person on the table next to him heard it and replied, "Why don't you be happy, how you want to come, how you like to eat." ”

The maid looked at Cheng Jiaoniang with a strange expression.

The three people at the table over there had already skillfully taken the words of the shopkeeper.

"Meat, ten dishes, clear soup."

Cheng Jianniang looked at the seat next to her.

"There are so many dishes, I'm afraid it's expensive, right?" She asked.

Seeing that it was such a clean and beautiful little lady who asked, the man next to him couldn't help laughing.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, a few dishes are worth a few dollars, so I can tell the little lady that this is just a side dish, just order this to the store will pay for death, everyone will order wine, or order some main dishes." He smiled, and as if to prove this sentence, he raised his hand and shouted to the shopkeeper, "Add me a happy and hemp vegetarian soup three dishes." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Jianniang with a little pride.

"Do you want to have a try? It's simple and casual, and the taste is good, it's better than the passing fairy, and the passing fairy lady knows the way, right? He said, and then patted his head and smiled, "Everyone knows the passing fairy, and the little lady must know the way, but if you taste this joy today, you will know." ”

Cheng Jianniang smiled and didn't answer, lowered her head and picked up chopsticks.

The expression on the maid's face became more and more complicated, as if she was surprised, as if she was happy, and as if she was happy.

"I didn't expect this to spread so quickly, and so... It's only been a few days. She muttered.

Cheng Jianniang picked up a mouthful of food and ate it.

"There is no shortage of smart people in this world." She said slowly, a smile on her lips.

Dou Qi walked into the door with a calm face, and in the lotus box room, there were already more than a dozen people sitting around, ranging in age and age, and when they saw Dou Qi coming in, some showed smiling faces and some were expressionless.

"Master Dou, what is the matter with delaying the fortune and calling us here?" One of the older men asked with a smile.

There was no smile on Dou Qi's face.

"Rich?" He snorted, and sat down on his knees while teasing his clothes, "I want to ask the owners, why do you cut off my Dou Qi's livelihood!" (To be continued......)
