Chapter 21 When I met Qiao Sanniang for the first time, I seemed to know a beggar
Shangguo uses the lunar calendar to keep time, and of course there will be no so-called Children's Day, Mother's Day and other festivals. Wang Yueying had a whim a few days ago, estimating that Children's Day was coming and wanted to surprise the children, so she secretly designed modern children's clothes for the children.
However, although she can design princess clothes and small suits, she has no choice but to know nine out of ten knack for needlework, and she can't know anything about it, so she can only find a ready-to-wear shop to let them help with it. This is also the main purpose of bringing children to town today.
The largest garment shop in Yuanhe Town is called Jinxiufang. The owner of the splendid workshop is a celebrity, or a famous woman, no one knows where she came from, only that she is obsessed with embroidery and clothing, and her needlework is extremely good, even the queen mother loves her embroidery very much, calling her "skillful Sanniang", so everyone calls her Sanniang.
Why did she come to Yuanhe Town, there are different opinions in the community. Some people say that it is because of the good feng shui of Yuanhe Town, and the clothes made here can prolong the life of the Queen Mother's old man, and some people say that it is because Sanniang offended the powerful in Kyoto to avoid trouble. As for the real reason, we don't know, in addition to Sanniang, there are many craftsmen who are good at making clothes, and the business is very good.
Wang Yueying thought that this modern children's clothing might not be able to be done by other shops, so she took the children directly to the Splendid Workshop.
"Shopkeeper, I want to make two sets of clothes for the children." Wang Yueying walked forward with the children. The main customers of Jinxiufang are large families, and the clothes are customized by embroidery girls, so there are not many customers in the store.
"Okay, Madame, you can take a look at our ready-to-wear first." The shopkeeper saw someone hurriedly greeting.
"Shopkeeper, I have two clothes here, can you do it according to the way I wear this dress?" I also come to experience a private customization now, and in modern times, everyone pays attention to customization, which is more tasteful than buying luxury goods. Wang Yueying thought in her heart, this time, she would also try to experience the feeling of being rich.
"Madame, these two clothes are more special." The shopkeeper looked at the design drawings handed over by Wang Yueying, and said after a while, "Madam, you sit down for a while, and I'll go back." ”
"Okay." This princess dress is okay, and it is not easy for this little suit to make a straight look.
"Little third son, serve tea to the guests." After the shopkeeper finished giving instructions to the young man, he turned around and entered the inner hall with a smile.
Wang Yueying saw that the pavilion had been looking up at the outside, and looked at her gaze, it turned out that there were people selling sugar gourds over there, and a group of children were buying them, so she smiled and said, "The pavilion wants to eat sugar gourds." Why not buy it? ”
Hearing what his mother said, he blushed and lowered his head and said nothing. The child was cheerful and lively at home, and he was a little timid when he went out, looking around with timid eyes, but Wang Yueying felt that it was a good thing to know that fear, and that the newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger did not mean that he had beaten the tiger, so he stopped teasing her, and turned his head to discuss with Xun'er: "Do you want to take your sister out for a walk?" ”
Xun'er looked at him expectantly when she saw the pavilion, her bright eyes were full of "I'm going, I'm going, I'm going", and nodded, "Yes." ”
Wang Yueying watched the two children holding hands and jumping away, and suddenly felt emotional, thinking of Long Yingtai's words, "The so-called father-daughter-mother-son game just means that your fate with him is that you are constantly watching his back drift away in this life and this life." You stand at this end of the path, watching him disappear at the bend in the path, and he tells you with his back: don't chase. "I used to be alone, I didn't understand what family affection was, and I didn't ask for much understanding every time I read this, but now I look at the backs of the children leaving, and I understand the meaning of this sentence.
"Madam, our host has an invite."
"Your host? But my children have just gone out to buy snacks, and it will be troublesome if they can't see me when they come back. ”
"Out of the way, I'll tell the guys to beckon them to wait for you here."
"That's best, have Lao lead the way."
"This way, please."
Wang Yueying followed the shopkeeper to the back hall.
As soon as I got out of the back hall, I saw a woman sitting in the courtyard, and saw that she was slightly fat, with a silver hairpin and hairpin, a blue cotton and linen long skirt, and an embroidered shawl. With thin eyebrows and a small diamond-shaped mouth, she looks like the ladies of the great painters of the Tang Dynasty.
"Madame, please be seated." Sanniang saw that the person was wearing a pure white cotton and linen shirt on the upper body, and a light green long skirt on the bottom, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and there was a style between her gestures. I couldn't help but feel infinitely fond of her, and greeted, "Madame's surname?" ”
"Don't be surnamed Wang." Unexpectedly, this is the legendary Sanniang, this gentle and demure appearance is more charming than the "skillful Sanniang" I imagined.
Sanniang poured Wang Yueying a cup of tea, and Wang Yueying stretched out her index finger and middle finger and knocked three times on the table. Seeing this, Sanniang chuckled and said, "Madame, don't be polite, I have something I want to ask Madame." ”
"Do you want to ask about clothes?" I knew it would be a curiosity, but I really wanted to see what the kids looked like.
"Madame just call me Sanniang. I just wanted to ask about this dress. Sanniang replied with a smile.
"Then you can also call me Yueniang, and I won't be polite to you." Wang Yueying also said with a smile, I don't know why she always has a sense of déjà vu for Sanniang, "The appearance of this dress is actually what I dreamed of"
Aside from Wang Yueying and Sanniang's happy conversation, Bo Xun over there also discovered something that made him wonder.
"Brother, brother, let's go find my mother." The pavilion looked curiously at the brother who was stunned in place.
Bo Xun didn't seem to hear his sister's cry, he kept looking at a beggar. This beggar was ragged and unkempt, huddled in a corner, like all beggars in the world. But unlike other beggars, he was not begging like other beggars, but looked around curiously with a pair of eyes.
These are not enough for a child like Bo Xun to notice, what really makes him care is that this beggar looks exactly the same as Chen Shouxin. So much so that he was so stunned in place, not knowing what to do for a while, and he didn't even respond to the sister next to him calling him.
Wang Yueying and Sanniang made an appointment to pick up the clothes in a few days, and when they went out to ask the shopkeeper, they learned that the children had not come back. So he hurriedly went out to find the child, although there was an old grandson to follow, but in case of a crutch how good, an old man and two children could not resist.
Wang Yueying was about to go to Piaoxiang Building to find someone to help find her when she met the old grandson, and when the old grandson saw her, he said: "Madam, the little young master is looking for you to go to the gate of Piaoxiang Building." ”
"Is something wrong?" Wang Yueying asked, Xun'er is not an ignorant child, if it wasn't for an accident, she wouldn't not come back to her.
"I don't know, the little young master is standing there and refuses to come back, and wants you to come over." The old grandson is also the second monk who is confused.
When Wang Yueying arrived, she saw Bo Xun pulling a beggar and not letting him go. The pavilion was pulling the corner of his brother's clothes and crying non-stop, and when he saw Wang Yueying, he immediately pounced.
"Don't cry, don't cry, my mother is here." Wang Yueying comforted the pavilion while asking Xun'er curiously, "Xun'er, why are you pulling this uncle?" ”
"Mother." Bo Xun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw his mother coming, heard his mother's question, glanced at the beggar, and said nervously, "He looks like a father." ”
Daddy? Who is Daddy? Wang Yueying just wanted to ask, glanced at the beggar, and a figure appeared in his mind, Chen Shouxin?
Wang Yueying has no impression of Chen Shouxin, but looking at this beggar, there is a little resemblance to Xun'er between her eyebrows and eyes. I'll go, isn't this Chen Shouxin dead? No, Chen Shouxin is dead and can't see his body.
Now is not the time to dwell on these issues, and everyone around is looking at this side. Wang Yueying glanced at the beggar, and still didn't have any impression, but at this time, she couldn't control the three seven twenty-one, so she would figure out this matter first, so she ordered the little two in the store to carry him to the Piaoxiang Building. "Are you going to give me dinner? That's great! That's great! The beggar looked at the crowd and said, then exclaimed excitedly, "Wonderful." ”
How does this beggar look like a fool? Isn't Chen Shouxin a scholar? I couldn't be mistaken. Seeing the beggar behaving like this, Wang Yueying couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
"Okay, I'll take you to dinner."
When the beggar heard Wang Yueying say this, he clapped his hands happily, followed Wang Yueying and walked to the inner hall of Piaoxiang Building.
Wang Yueying took the beggar into the inner hall and looked at him and said, "You go to the next room to take a shower and change your clothes, and I'll ask the cook to make something to eat for you." He turned around and told Xiao Er to bring him a change of clothes and some food.
"Okay." The beggar looked at Wang Yueying with round eyes and said, "Sister, you are so good, invite me to dinner and invite me to take a bath." ”
"You're welcome, you can go take a shower first." Wang Yueying just wanted the beggar to take a good look after taking a bath, after all, she really didn't have a deep impression of Chen Shouxin, maybe Xun'er just recognized the wrong person.
"Shopkeeper Cai, do you know where this beggar came from?" Wang Yueying looked at Shopkeeper Cai, who had been curious from just now, and didn't know how to explain, but asked.
This Yuanhe Town is a small place, and there are only a few beggars, and the shopkeeper Cai, who is a restaurant, has more contact with beggars, and he doesn't recognize him.
"Yueniang, do you know this beggar?" Shopkeeper Cai's heart is also full of curiosity, "This beggar also came to Yuanhe Town some time ago"
Although this town of Yuanhe is not large, there are not few rich and noble families, so there are often tooth wives who search for some poor people to sell, all of whom are homeless people who are famine and captives of enemy countries. Presumably, this beggar was brought by some tooth wit, but seeing that this beggar has a weak body and a bad brain, no one may have been willing to buy it. Yayu raised him to waste food, so he simply threw it out, so he became one of the beggars in Yuanhe Town.
