In the early years of respect, the country and the people were safe.

Fireworks in March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and there is one of the most prosperous places in the capital city of Bianjing, which is called Dongmen Street. This Dongmen Street is indeed worthy of its name, it is very lively, restaurants, theaters, gambling houses, silk villages, all kinds of shops, guests are endless, and the noise is continuous.

The streets are full of pedestrians and stalls. At this time, there was a long queue in front of a stall selling rock sugar gourds, one by one over the back of the heads of the predecessors, tiptoeing and stretching their necks to look ahead.

The charcoal fire was burning in the stove, and half a pot of oil was boiling in the pot, and the heat smoked a pretty little face red, making it even more delicate. A pair of plain white wrists lifted it lightly and slowly poured a jar of rock candy into the pot.

If the fat little hand picks up a skewer, the head is already full of hawthorn, all round heads and round brains, red and full, which is coveted. Place the skewer head-down diagonally on the edge of the pot until the sugar oil has overflowed the last hawthorn.

After waiting for two sips of tea, Su Bai's wrist flipped slightly, picked up the string of sugar gourds full of syrup, lifted it high, and slammed it into the iron plate next to him.

There was a loud "pop" sound, which shocked everyone's hearts to peep at the beauty, and they all hurriedly moved the eyes glued to the hibiscus face to the case. With a slight effort, the white little hand lifted the whole string of sugar gourds stuck to the board, and a large piece of ice flowers stood on the top of the sugar gourd like a cockscomb, which was very greedy.

A group of drunkards who don't mean to drink can't help but guess, how crunchy and sweet this ice flower should be?

A string of two pennies, a total of more than a hundred strings were sold, and the green warbler sighed with satisfaction, rubbed her sore arm, and closed the stall.

The green warbler covered her gurgling belly and walked all the way, and when she got up in the morning, her wife only let her drink a bowl of gruel, and she didn't even give her a mouthful of steamed buns. I've been hungry all day, and I'm dizzy at this point. The sound of donkey meat being burned rang in her ears, and she couldn't help but peek at it.

The palm-sized pancakes are golden and crispy, brushed with a thick sauce, sandwiched with a nest of tender and bright slices of donkey meat, embedded with red, green, and green chili peppers, wrapped in oiled paper, neatly stacked on the table, and the aroma lingers.

She swallowed her saliva, touched the money pouch on her chest, bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes, and walked faster.

The stall owner selling tofu next to him looked at the delicate back in the distance in a daze, not the tall and slender of the Bianjing woman, but quite plump. Because of the perfection of life, it looks twisted and twisted when walking, and it is very beautiful. The woman beside her glared fiercely at the man in the distance, leaned in front of her man, and asked quietly, "Beautiful?" ”

The man didn't know that his mother-in-law had knocked over the vinegar jar, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Beautiful, beautiful, no wonder people call it sugar gourd Shih, I heard that it is from Datong Mansion." Oh, whoever marries the mother-in-law there will be blessed" Before he finished speaking, he covered his ears and squeaked in pain, "Oh, yes, yes, you ruthless stinky mother-in-law!" ”

There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping on the street, and Liu's mansion was also tense.

Liu Song's family was dressed in a white-washed horse-faced skirt, and through the tea case with the paint peeling, he excused himself from a lump of fat spread out in the circle chair next to him: "Zhu Yuan is a talent, what kind of Tianzi and national beauty can't be married?" The girls in Bianjing City have, which one is not more virtuous than the green warbler? ”

She was so flattering in her mouth, but she was very disdainful of this person in her heart. At the age of fifty, the wife in front of him married one and died, and the whole old beast!

Zhu Yuanwai's big head came to her, rubbed his hands, and looked at her with a blank eye, "No matter how beautiful it is, we don't think that the green warbler girl is pretty, so I will be rare for her." Mrs. Liu, you can marry her to me. ”

Liu Song only felt a turbid and smelly breath rushing to her face, and glanced at the big yellow teeth that were close at hand, and she dodged back without a trace.

After a long time, Che Yu said several times, this pig demon was stunned that oil and salt did not enter, she was tired, her heart was bored, raised her eyebrows and said horizontally: "I have also seen this scene in my family, Zhu Yuanwai has also seen it, and there is a maid like the green warbler, and my son and I are used to her." This marriage is impossible, so Zhu Yuanwai should go back. ”

As soon as these words fell, he smiled and took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to her.

Liu Song looked at the big words in the middle of the silver ticket, good guy, fifty taels! She suddenly blossomed with joy and happily reached out to take it.

Fang knocked down the horn of the silver ticket, and she suddenly thought of what she had promised the green warbler. Tilting his head, he didn't look at the silver ticket again, his heart was like cutting meat, but he shook his head and waved his hand to refuse: "This, this is not"

Zhu Yuanwai saw her struggle clearly, glanced at this dilapidated house with four walls, shyly stomach, smiled conceitedly, and took out two silver tickets, "Here is a thousand taels of bridal silver, if the wife agrees, I will send a dowry of sixteen before getting married." ”

Hearing this, Liu Song hurriedly swallowed the unfinished words back into his stomach. Heavenly Ancestors, not to mention the dowry without a shadow, this silver ticket is a full thousand taels!

You must know that nowadays, the hired silver of small families is only ten taels at most, and it is still a girl with a good background, like a slave girl like Green Ying, and it is good luck to hire silver to catch up with one or two.

How to see how cost-effective this marriage is, Liu Song is a little moved. But she thought of the green warbler, if this little girl marries in the past, how can she live?

She rolled her eyes and thought secretly, and finally gritted her teeth and was ruthless: People die for money, birds die for food, green warblers, I can only be sorry for you.

She grinned like a trumpet flower, and lied to Zhu Yuanwai: "Zhu Yuanwai doesn't know, since you left last time, the dead girl of the green warbler has sighed every day, regretting that her intestines are green." Now, she can be regarded as getting what she wants, hehehe. ”

was smiling proudly, when suddenly there was a "ding", and the door was slammed open. She was startled, and the laughter stopped abruptly, and it was when her tongue opened wide to see the person who was coming, and she felt weak in her heart, coughed lightly, and closed her mouth stupidly.

"Green Warbler?" Zhu Yuanwai was overjoyed in his heart, smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, licked his fat lips and called.

Green Ying was ashamed and angry, standing far away from him, turning her back to look at him. Zhu Yuanwai raised his eyebrows, and saw that the tips of her ears were red, only as if she was shy, and said to Liu Song, "Wait for me to choose a good day and an auspicious day to propose marriage." And he took his leave.

Liu Song immediately put away the silver ticket happily, for fear that others would rob him, and hummed in his mouth: "A maid dares to eavesdrop on the feet of the master's wall?" ”

After a while, Lu Ying's eyes were swollen from crying, and she ran to Liu Song's side, and said aggrievedly: "Mrs. obviously promised the slave, how can she regret it?" Thinking of the sins created by the plague god in the past, she felt chills: "Besides, that Zhu Yuanwai is full of filthy methods, marrying him, how can the slave and maid still have their lives?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Song laughed a few times, and then said with a serious face: "Lu Ying, you are fifteen, it's time to get married, a woman marrying is a second birth." Then Master Zhu attaches great importance to you, don't you steal the fun? If you enter his house, he will hurt you to the bone. Besides, if you marry him, I will have to cancel your slavery first, isn't that a great thing? ”

After a pause, she rolled her eyes, and she looked indignant: "What kind of dirty methods, they are all rumors of maids and women with broken mouths in the streets, green warbler, don't listen to their nonsense!" ”

The green warbler froze for a moment, raised her head, looked incredulous, and said, "Madam, who doesn't know his notoriety in Bianjing?" What hurts the slave to the bone, it is clearly to peel the skin and remove the bones! ”

Liu Song leisurely folded his arms, looked disappreciative, and said with a smile: "You can't hope that you are a little better?" Do you want to die or not? ”

Lu Ying's heart was angry and bitter, her eyes were wet with tears, and she choked up: "In the past year, in order to earn silver taels for his wife, the slave maid has been like a monkey to make people watch and have fun. Every night, the hands poked by the hawthorn are full of wounds, and they are worn day after day, and the old wounds are not healed, so new injuries are added. ”

She raised a pair of hands and stretched out to Liu Song's side, and her white and tender fingers were full of dried blood holes, which was shocking.

She shook her head, with tears in her eyes, and whimpered: "These slaves have never complained to their wives, but their wives have clearly agreed to the slaves, and they have clearly agreed." ”

Hearing this, Liu Song changed his appearance, and said confidently with his neck stalked: "Yes!" I promised you at the beginning, but at that time, Zhu Yuan went out for sixty taels of silver. You said that you can earn sixty taels a year, I can promise you not to marry, but now it is different, it is a whole thousand taels of silver, you calculate, you have to sell the sugar gourd for twenty years, I don't want to wait that long! ”

The green warbler was dumbfounded, is Zhu Yuanwai crazy, spend a thousand taels to marry a maid?

Why do you have to marry her? She felt more and more creepy, and looked at Liu Song and cried: "If you don't ask for anything next to the slave maid, even if you don't eat, don't sleep, and wear hawthorn until your fingers rot, the slave and maid won't have half a word of complaint." The slave doesn't want to die, the wife must not marry the slave to the Zhu Yuanwai, the slave begged the wife, woo woo"

After saying that, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed her head, which was hard and thumping, and the dull aftermath lingered in the room.

Liu Song looked at it coldly, willing to knock and knock, she should hear it. Don't be afraid of knocking your head blue, just comb the door curtain wider when you get married.

When the green warbler knocked her beard for a moment, her eyes were full of gold stars, and she was dizzy, she stroked her palms and laughed, and sneered: "Are you treating yourself as a daughter?" Slaves are like cows and horses, and what you say is bullshit. The Master tells you to go east, but you must not go west. Who does the master let you marry, how can you choose? ”

put away the smile and said with a straight face: "Don't be whimsical!" If you get married, if there is really any three long and two short, my master will not forget you, and I will give you two pillars of incense during the Qingming Festival. ”

Since she tore her face, Liu Song simply stabbed her happily: "People whose hearts are higher than the sky often have a life thinner than paper, and they still make a piece of paper to pretend to be high?" Even your father doesn't want you, and no one will be distressed when the slave Yangzi dies! ”

The green warbler stared straight at her with tear-drenched eyes, her mouth pursed tightly, and her hands clutched the hem of her clothes.

What, want to bite me? Liu Song smiled disdainfully, I don't dare to borrow ten of your guts! It was also a whim to buy this little hoof back in the first place. Bianjing has always been slender for beauty, last year in Datong Mansion for the first time to see this mellow green warbler, she felt novel. It was only when her gambling father said that she would sell it for two taels of silver, and she bought it.

Two taels of silver for one thousand taels of silver, she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, flicked her sleeves, and said condescendingly: "It's still early, the sugar gourd will continue to sell to me, and I will buy a little maid in a few days, and you will teach her your craftsmanship." ”

After a pause, seeing that the green warbler was still staring at her, she felt a hair in her heart, but she still said loudly: "People's lives are destined by heaven, and the distinction between high and low is clear." Your cheap life can only be like the weeds on the side of the road, trampled and crushed by my master, and you will never be able to turn over! ”

Just as he was about to turn around, the green warbler got up suddenly, walked to the table of the eight immortals in two steps, grabbed the celadon incense burner on his head, held it high above his head, turned around and pounced on her, and shouted in a hissing voice: "Mrs. has bullied slaves and slaves and humiliated slaves and maids all these years, and she is still persecuting slaves and maids like this today." Hmph, the wife doesn't let the slave and maid live well, and the slave doesn't let the wife get her wish, so we will all die today! ”

Liu Song's face turned white, and he was shocked on the spot, looking at the scarlet under her eyes, he walked towards him step by step, as if urging Yama, and his ears seemed to remember a round of death knell.
