Chapter 39 The Zhang Family
While Qian Yixiu was singing, as long as someone came over, Qian Manxia would whisper, "Aunt (girl, uncle), buy a handful of flowers."
A woman said, "Yo, these big flowers look so beautiful together with the small ones." This is the starry sky? Why do I feel like a grass growing on the side of a mountain in the countryside? ”
Qian Yixiu saw that someone wanted to buy flowers, so he stopped singing and said crisply, "This is Xia Cao, and it also has a nice nickname, called Mantianxing." ”
This woman is the housekeeper of a wealthy family, and she also has some spare money. Seeing that these flowers were chic and beautiful, he first praised Qian Yixiu for being well-behaved and sensible, and then asked about the price.
Qian Yixiu said, "Ten wen for the small handful, twenty wen for the big one, and one hundred wen for the flower basket." She felt that she was not sitting on the ground, but she was also performing with a singing tape. Her singing and tears are only sold for such a small amount of money, and they are already cheap and bottomless.
She ignored the surprised little aunt and continued to say glutinously, "Auntie, the starry sky has a long flowering period, and it can live for at least half a month. These flowers are also treated and live for seven to ten days without any problem. A rich and appreciative person like my aunt spends one or twenty yuan to buy a beautiful flower arrangement on the table, which is not expensive, and it is comfortable to look at, how good. ”
The woman was happily praised by Qian Yixiu, and said with a smile, "This child is really good at talking, and the eldest aunt is not a rich family." Although I don't have much money, I can still afford to buy flowers. Besides, it's a really nice flower. ”
The woman felt that although the flower basket was very beautiful, it was indeed a little reluctant to give up a hundred wen. Ten pennies to buy a beautiful flower arrangement is worth it, so I bought a wild lily with a small bouquet full of stars. After thinking about it, he took out another 20 wen and bought a handful of fragrant orchids with a large bouquet full of stars, thinking about going back to honor the wife who likes flowers.
After the woman left, people came to buy two small bouquets and one large bouquet.
Several businesses were done at once, and Qian Manxia's excited little face turned red.
There was no one left, so Qian Yixiu began to sing again, singing and moving forward. When I came to the back door of a house, the door had been opened, and a mother-in-law came out and said with a smile, "Our girl heard the song of the little girl, and said that the song was beautiful, and specially asked me to watch here to buy flowers." ”
What she didn't say was that her young master also asked her to see if the little girl made up such lyrics in order to sell flowers to win sympathy, cursing her father for dying and her mother's illness is a big unfilial piety.
She saw that the two little girls were thin and worn, and their faces were pale, and they looked like the kind that had not eaten for a long time. Looking at their red eyes again, they must have cried because they were singing sadly. She concluded that what was sung in the song should be true.
Seeing that these flowers were indeed beautiful and chic, he took a silver horn out and bought two flower arrangements and a flower basket. There are many silver horns, and this mother-in-law said that their girl rewarded the little girl, so there is no need to look for it.
Qian Yixiu thanked her and told her that the flower basket should be sprinkled with some tea water regularly, so that the flowering period will be longer.
When the mother-in-law entered the door and closed the door again, Qian Yixiu and Qian Manxia ran to Wu's side. He gave her the money in his pocket, and took some bouquets and a basket of flowers from her.
Qian Yixiu cleared his throat and began to sing again, attracting a few more people to buy flowers along the way. One of the young men, who bought a flower basket and two handfuls of flowers, threw a silver ingot and said, "Don't look for it." ”
Qian Yixiu's excited little face flushed, this was the biggest amount of money she had earned so far. Busy said, "Thank you, childe, you are really a good person, a good person has a safe journey." ”
This was too straightforward, and the boy paused and laughed twice.
There was also a handsome middle-aged man with a white face and no beard, who also came to buy a flower basket and two handfuls of flowers, and he threw a small ingot of silver to Qian Manxia and said, "The rest will be rewarded to you." "The sound is pleasant.
After that, he looked at Qian Yixiu several times in a daze, and said with a charming smile, "This little baby is pretty and has a good voice." ”
Qian Yixiu was a little weak by him, and hurriedly lowered his head, waiting for the man to walk away before raising his head.
They sang all the way and sold flowers all the way to the outside of a big house. When you are still far away, you can see a tall pavilion in this courtyard hidden in a field of red flowers and green trees. This building is called Mochigetsu Pavilion, and it is a four-story building built on an artificially piled hillside, making it the tallest building in the area.
Coming to this big mansion, Qian Yixiu slowed down and walked very slowly, and his singing voice, which was already a little low, rose a little higher. Qian Manxia thought that her little niece was tired and couldn't walk, so she followed her slowly.
Wu, who fell behind, had a big step, and after taking two steps, she had to put down her shoulder and rest, and when they walked for a while, she would follow.
They had already walked some distance through the side door of the big mansion, and a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old came out of the door and caught up with them, "Little sister, wait. ”
Qian Manxia saw that this girl was wearing silk and a golden hairpin on her head, and she could smell a good fragrance when she got closer. Thinking that she was a young lady from a big family, she was a little scared. But he still had the courage to shout, "Miss, buy some flowers." His voice trembled.
The girl smiled, "Where am I a young lady, just call me Sister Zhu." She looked at the flower arrangement in the big basket, and then looked at the small flower basket in Qian Yixiu's hand, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She took the flower basket in Qian Yixiu's hand and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise, "This flower basket of fragrant stone orchids is really good, and the flower arrangement is also beautiful." These little flowers are called starry sky, right? ”
Qian Yixiu nodded and said, "Well, some people call it this little flowery grass, and some people call it starry." Sister, my aunt also has a peony basket and a rose basket in her basket, which are very beautiful. ”
The girl touched the little chrysanthemum on the top of Qian Yixiu's head and praised, "Little sister's song is so good." ”
He stretched out his hand again to uncover the cloth on Qian Manxia's back basket, and the two flower baskets inside were really good-looking. Look at the bouquet in the big basket, the same small flowers with different large flowers, each with its own merits.
She was momentarily undecided, and then said, "My old lady and wife faintly heard your singing. I think the song is good, and it is not easy to pity you at such a young age. Just let me come out and have a look and buy some starry sky. I didn't expect your flowers to be so chic and beautiful, I'm a little dazzled. In this case, you follow me in and let the old lady see it, if she likes it, she may not buy it. ”
Qian Yixiu blinked his eyes and said movingly, "Your old lady is really a bodhisattva." ”
Of course, she knew that this old lady liked flowers, and she was bodhisattva-hearted. She is singing so hard today, not only to sell flowers, but also to attract the attention of the owner of this house.
This big mansion is the mansion of the owner of Baohetang - the Zhang family.
