Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Flower Girl
Qian Yixiu and a few people went to the north of the village to wait for the ox cart. There is no market in the county today, so there are not many people who go to the county seat. When it was time to arrive, plus there were only six people in their family, Uncle Wu drove away with the ox cart.
In addition to the three people in their family, the other three were a man with two children. The man, though more interested in what they were holding, looked at it a few more times, rather than inquiring as the woman did. Everyone said hello and fell silent, and Qian Yixiu fell asleep in Wu's arms.
When he arrived in Xishan County, Wu painfully gave Uncle Wu five cents. Uncle Wu said again that he would go back from the West City Gate on time at the end of the day, and he would not wait for the time to go.
Xishan County is a large county in Ji'an Province, and the county seat is prosperous and lively. Entering the city gate, the wide bluestone road is lined with shops, and it is very lively even if it is not a market. This street can be regarded as the golden port of the county, and it belongs to the face project, so the faΓ§ade is all bright and gorgeous, and most of them are two-story or three-story small buildings.
Wu said to Qian Yixiu, "It looks good here, but there are a lot of bad people, and there are many flowers, so pull your sister-in-law's hand tight, don't run away." β
Qian Yixiu agreed, "Oh." Milk, is Nanshi far away? β
Wu said, "It's not too far, we are entering the West Gate, and we will arrive in less than three quarters of an hour further south." β
They turned south out of the street and into a residential area, and the noise subsided. The alley here is not wide, and a small courtyard is connected to a small courtyard on both sides.
Walking through this house, there was a wide road and a narrow road, and Wu walked towards that narrow road without even thinking about it. Qian Yixiu knew that if he took a wide road, he would pass by the rich area, so he pulled Wu's clothes and did not follow the road, "Xiu'er does not take a bad road, but a good road." β
Wu felt sorry for her, thought about it and whispered, "That street is full of rich people, don't shout loudly when Xiu'er walks there." β
How can you sell flowers without shouting? Qian Yixiu said secretly, but still nodded his little head hard.
After walking through another alleyway, my eyes suddenly opened up. The road is wide, and the blue brick courtyard wall is high and long, and when you jump over the courtyard wall and look at it, there are pieces of Daiwa warped corners hidden in the green trees and bamboos. The occasional pass-by on the road is well dressed.
The big mansions in this area are all large families in Xishan County, and most of the top richest people in the county live here.
Qian Manxia's little pot friend's face turned red, and she looked at the roof in the courtyard wall with envy.
Qian Yixiu has been to this place many times when he was still a ghost.
Qian Yixiu stood down and asked Wu to give her a flower basket, and then asked the little aunt to take down the cloth from the big basket, and held a beautiful big bouquet in her other hand. He also asked the Wu family to keep a certain distance from them, and just see them from a distance.
Wu asked in surprise, "What is Xiu'er going to do?" β
Qian Yixiu said, "Selling flowers, just me and my little aunt selling flowers......" It is easier for two little girls to win sympathy by selling flowers.
"The people who live here are all rich people, you can't sell here, don't make trouble with embroidery." Wu said in a low voice.
Qian Yixiu said, "Why can't you sell it?" You see, there is a merchant in front of him, he can sell it, and he can sell embroidery. Then, he took the little aunt and ran a few steps. The Wu family didn't have a problem with this little granddaughter, so they could only follow from a distance of dozens of meters, thinking that if something happened, she would step forward again.
They walked forward along the courtyard wall, and when they heard the merchant in front of them shout a few times and stopped, Qian Yixiu held the flower basket and began to sing:
Little girl, get up early in the morning
Flowers in hand to the market
Walk through the streets and alleys
Selling flowers and selling flowers singing
The sky is full of white stars
It is open by the stream at the bottom of the mountain
Beautiful cargolia
Anger is placed in front of the valley
A piece of filial piety is in flowers
Pay back the money for medicine for my mother's treatment
No Daddy, No Money
Life is difficult at every turn
The flowers are not sold
Tears don't dry
Full of flowers, empty purse
How to go home to see your mother
β¦β¦
In her previous life, her unit organized a performance, and the children in the kindergarten of the unit danced with this song as an accompaniment tape, and she learned to sing.
Her mom came to see her and told her that it was from a movie. He also said how touching this movie was, watching this movie decades ago, there was a lot of crying in the theater. Qian Yixiu specially called up this old movie from the Internet to watch, and after watching half of it, he didn't continue to watch it, and he felt that he didn't have a sense of involvement.
Since she was reborn here, the hard days reminded her of that movie and gave her real feelings. She changed the lyrics to sing in this evil feudal society. The song strongly expresses her deep sympathy for the exploited peasant class, as well as her ruthless critique of the feudal ruling class.
Xiao Yuanzhu's voice is crisp and pleasant, although Qian Yixiu was not as good as a professional singer in his previous life, he was still handy at driving this simple minor tune. Coupled with the beautiful tune and sadness, she has real feelings. integrated into his own feelings, sang sadly, not to mention that he couldn't help but cry, and even Qian Manxia's eyes were red.
Most of the people walking around this house are residents, visiting guests or subordinates, and it is very quiet, and no one makes a loud noise. Occasionally, there will be a merchant who sells it, and the sound is also very well controlled, which can be heard by the people in the courtyard without being too abrupt. Otherwise, you will disturb people, you will not be able to do business, and you will be beaten up.
At this time, there was a sudden burst of singing from the little baby, which broke the silence of the mansion. The singing is melodious and beautiful, immature and crisp, and listening to the lyrics carefully makes people sour.
Pedestrians saw two little girls in tattered clothes holding bouquets of flowers, holding flower baskets, singing and selling flowers. The older girls are about ten years old, and the younger girls are only four or five years old, and although they are all dressed in tatters, they are clean and delicate.
Especially the little girl, she was wearing a pair of small straw sandals, revealing two thin feet. The little clothes and pants that were tied to the body were short and small, and they were patched. The thinning hair is tied at the ends of the top of the head and curled down softly, like two small chrysanthemums in full bloom. Because it is too thin, it appears that the eyes are larger and rounder. She couldn't hide her sadness as she sang a little song, and although she was already in tears, she held back her sadness and continued to sing.
Anyone who sees her like this can't help but feel a little sympathetic.
In this era, there were almost no people who walked the streets to sell flowers, let alone flower arrangements or flower baskets. People mostly go to the flower market to buy flowers, or buy seeds to plant themselves or buy potted plants directly. If you want to arrange flowers, pick a few in your own garden and insert them in a vase. However, there are also flower arrangements sold in the flower shop, all of which are Jianshan flower arrangements, which are relatively expensive, and idlers will not buy them.
But because the little girl's singing voice is too beautiful, she is too sad and has a hundred intestines, and there is such a flower as a starry sky, the name is so beautiful. Pedestrians on the road stood and looked at them, and some walked over to take a look, and some even poked their heads out of the small door to look at them.
These people looked closely at these bouquets and baskets of flowers, those beautiful big flowers wrapped in the little white flowers dotted with stars, hazy and beautiful, and there was a dreamlike feeling. I've seen a lot of flower arrangements, but I've never seen one so chic.
