It is only said that Brother Hong'er went out of the Qin Mansion and walked into an inconspicuous alley on the street, she walked in the criss-crossing alleys for a while, turned another corner, and stopped at a very inconspicuous Chaimen house.

Brother Hong looked inside for a while, but felt that she couldn't see anything, she hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, footsteps were heard inside, and an old voice came from inside, "Who! ”

"Third aunt, I'm Xiu'er."

"Xiu'er?" The voice in the courtyard hesitated for a moment, and then said cheerfully: "It's a show!" ”

The door was vigorously opened, and an old woman peeked out of it, dressed in gray hexagrams, with two patches of different colors on her shoulders, and a face full of furrows, and gray hair that made it seem that the old woman was in her twilight years.

"What a show!" The old woman looked Brother Hong up and down a few times, and then stretched out a withered hand, grabbed Brother Hong'er's arm excitedly, and burst into tears.

"Third aunt." It's only been a few years since I saw him, and Brother Hong can barely recognize the person in front of him, how can people grow like this?

The old woman cried for a while, and then she came to her senses, and hurriedly took Brother Hong'er's hand and said, "I'm old, why did I leave you out like this!" Come, come, talk in the house. ”

Brother Hong entered the courtyard and looked around, the yard was still the same yard, but it was more dilapidated than he remembered, the low walls were overgrown with weeds, and the desolation made people unbearable to look at, and the low house seemed to be about to collapse at any time.

The old woman closed the door, turned around and pulled Brother Hong into the house, looking at Brother Hong'er's colorful clothes and materials as she walked. He also said: "Xiu'er is out, don't dislike the third aunt's house in tatters." ”

While they were talking, they entered the house.

In the dimly lit room, there was only a tattered cupboard, two sets of beds rolled up on the kang, and a broken bowl with a missing corner in the corner, where an old cat was about to lose its hair and snoozed.

Brother Hong'er's eyes were sour. Tears couldn't stop falling, she turned her head and pulled the old woman and said, "Third aunt, my uncle has only been gone for a few years, why is the family like this?" ”

In my memory, although the third aunt's family is not rich, at least they are well fed and dressed, although there is no savings at home, there are always a few things for living, but now the house is bare, and it looks like it is very different from before.

The old woman's eyes were red. After a long sigh, he said: "It's the third aunt's hard life, she gave birth to such a son as a bolt in her life, and your uncle and I treat him as an eye, and my heart hurts like a tip." I've been spoiled since I was a child. I was afraid that he had been wronged, thinking that when he grew up and married his daughter-in-law, we could count on him to provide for us in the old age, which would ...... "The old woman was so sad that she couldn't even speak.

She cried a while before she said, "Nacheng thinks that your cousin is a muddy person, who doesn't study well all day long, and stays with some indiscriminate people." He also learned to gamble, and the big and small objects in the house made him lose all his money, and even your uncle made him angry......"

When Brother Hong heard this, he couldn't help but shed tears, and the two of them cried for a long time, and each sighed, so they held back their tears.

"Xiu'er, how are you, how are you doing in that big family?" The old woman's eyes kept looking at Brother Hong'er's body.

Although Brother Hong follows the unfavored Wang family, her food and clothing are inevitably worse than the girls in other courtyards, but she is also the big girl next to Aunt Qinfu after all, and the objects she wears are not the best, but they are enough to dazzle the eyes of the poor people. Her third aunt is a miserable person, she has never seen any big money in her life, and she wears the best clothes and materials, that is, the wedding dress when she got married. She had never seen the cocoon embroidery material worn by Brother Hong, and the colorful clothes were embroidered with vivid flowers, and the colors were so bright that they were like the real thing, and they must be worth a lot of silver.

It's good to give birth to a girl, I heard that if you send it to a big family to be a girl, you can get a lot of money!

The old woman was secretly envious, and she couldn't help but say, "Your mother is so blessed to give birth to such a good girl as you." ”

Brother Hong sighed and only said: "Third aunt, the big portal is not so easy to treat, it looks glamorous and self-abundant on the outside, but it is not like that on the inside. How many of the masters of rich families treat their subordinates as human beings? I'm just listening to someone's call involuntarily, if it weren't for the fact that the family couldn't get by, who would be willing to sell their daughter! ”

The old woman felt that Brother Hong'er was not real, and the enthusiasm on her face faded by three points, thinking that this girl was dressed like a young lady, and she was dressed like a young lady of the landlord's house, and she even cried in front of herself.

At that moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the house.

The old woman slapped her thigh and said, "The beast is back." ”

Sure enough, after a while, I heard someone outside the house shouting: "Mother, do you have food, I'm hungry." As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked in from outside.

This person is of medium stature, looks like thick eyebrows and big eyes, but unfortunately there is always a lewd look between his eyebrows, he is wearing a cyan short hexagram, wearing a pair of gray coarse cloth pants underneath, and wearing a pair of tight cloth shoes with thin black cloth soles on his feet.

"Yo, isn't this Xiu sister? I haven't seen you for a few years, and I'm really getting more and more smart. This person leaned towards Brother Hong'er with bad intentions, and a pair of restless eyes swept around Brother Hong'er's body.

Brother Hong stepped back, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Cousin, why are you dirty like this, didn't you get beaten outside?" ”

The old woman heard Brother Hong'er's words, and hurriedly looked at her son, only to see that he was covered in dust, there were still a few shoe prints on his body, his face was also blue and red, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Son, you, what's wrong with you, who beat you."

Li Shuzi laughed twice before saying, "Isn't it the sixth brother." ”

The old woman was frightened, and when she heard this, she became frightened again, "Are you gambling again?" How much did you lose this time? ”

Li Zhuzhu said nonchalantly: "It's just a few taels of silver." What are you fussing about, Sister Xiu'er finally came to visit, don't scare others. ”

The old woman snorted before she opened her throat and said, "How many taels of silver?" Do you think that's a small amount? I wash people's laundry every day, and I only earn a few copper plates. It's all for you to gamble, and you only open it once for a few days to show people your face, but a dozen big sons, a few taels of silver are enough for our mother and mother to eat for several months, you ...... Why are you so heartless! ”

Li bolted impatiently to listen to this, and shouted: "Okay, if you lose, you will lose, what's the use of saying this, you still have to find a way to take more clothes back and wash them, otherwise it will be profitable." It will become a dozen taels in a few days, and I will have no money to pay it back by then, so you should be careful that you don't have a son to send it to the end. ”

When the old woman heard this, she was so angry that she sat down on the ground, "God damn it." You conscienceless ......"

Brother Hong sighed impatiently. Asked Li out loud: "Cousin still looks like people?" You haven't lost that bit of Taoism? ”

Li Zhuzhu is a little person who lives at the bottom of the dragon and snake mixture, he has no real ability, and his ability to watch people listen to stubble is first-class, he heard Brother Hong say this, his eyes couldn't help but roll, and the expression on his face was also flattering, "Cousin Xiu, everyone is a relative, I can't lie to anyone!" Your cousin and I have studied Taoism with the Taoist priest of Namaoshan for several years, and I have a good understanding of this yin and yang five elements. The art of gossip is quite studied, I rely on this to eat, how can I lose my way, you say? ”

Brother Hong wouldn't believe this cousin who was running with a horse in his mouth, but she just snorted and didn't say anything else.

Li Zhuzhu felt that his cousin would not come to his house to ask long and short questions, he felt that maybe the money came to the door, so he didn't dare to offend Brother Hong, he put away his lustful heart, and said: "If my cousin doesn't believe it, I will show your hand for you." He touched his chin with concern, his eyes swept over Brother Hong'er's face twice, and then he smiled: "Cousin, but you have something to worry about, and you asked for my head?" ”

When the old woman sitting on the ground heard this, she patted her thigh and said, "Fart, your sister is on an errand in the big portal, she is a decent person, what can I ask for on your head?" ”

Li didn't speak, only laughed.

Brother Hong secretly said "splashing skin", and then said: "Third aunt, I haven't seen you and my cousin for a long time, it's rare for me to come out today." She took out a handful of copper coins from her sleeve, rested them on the kang, and said, "Please go and cut a piece of meat, buy catties of rice, fry two vegetables, and we will reunite." ”

Li bolted and looked at the copper coins from a distance, and there was a greedy light in his eyes, and even the old woman on the ground stood up with a red face, covered the copper coins at once, and laughed grinning.

"Medium, medium. What's the trouble or not, I'll go. She laughed as she swept the copper coin from the kang into her arms, and went out happily.

Only Brother Hong and that Li were left in the house.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Shuo suddenly became lustful, he slowly approached Brother Hong, and said as he walked: "Cousin, our brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for many years, and you are really getting more and more smart." His words were obscene, and he stretched out his hand and touched Brother Hong'er's face.

Brother Hong has been in the Qin Mansion for many years, seeing six roads and listening to all directions, she is not the little girl who is ignorant of the world and afraid of the head and tail, she has long found out that Li is not a ghost to herself, so she is on guard, just when Li Bolt wanted to touch it, she hurriedly took two steps back, and then took out a heavy purse from her sleeve and shook it in front of Li Bolt.

Li bolted up, only to feel that his nose was full of copper coins! He hurriedly stopped and looked at Brother Hong'er flatteringly.

"Cousin, tell me, what do you mean?" He is a smart man, he knows what he lacks the most, although women are good, but as long as they have money, what kind of women can't find them? What's more, my cousin is a girl from a big family, and I don't dare to really treat her, and if I can't get cheap, I may get into trouble.

Brother Hong didn't talk nonsense, and directly poured the money in his purse on the kang.

The two ingots were small and cute, and the silver glowing white almost shook the dog's eyes that Li had bolted on.
