Chapter 290: Wonton Shop
Liang Chang looked at her for a moment and fell silent.
At this moment, something collided head-on and crashed straight into Su Xian's arms.
Su Xian was startled, she was hit and hurt, and with a sigh, she grabbed the collar of the little thing, and looked down to see that it was actually a five or six-year-old child. The child was wearing coarse cloth clothes with many patches, and his red face had several cracks because of the dry weather, and he didn't know how to apologize if he hit someone, so he looked at Su Xian stupidly.
Su Xian was slightly surprised and stared at him.
Liang Chang couldn't help but look at her because of her sudden slight change in aura. He thought she should like the child, but she was pretending to be indifferent, as if she was reserved, and this strange reserve was funny.
Su Xian flattened her face, looked at the silly little baby, looked around, didn't find his adult, bent down and asked:
"Doll, whose child are you, and what are the adults in your family?"
The doll was timid, and did not answer, but had straight eyes.
Su Xian frowned, and was about to ask, when Su Yan's laughter suddenly came from behind her:
"Big sister! Eldest sister! ”
Su Xian's face darkened, and she suddenly became murderous, turned her head suddenly, and said angrily at Su Yan, who was running quickly:
"Who let you come out, it's been a few days since you left your hometown, and you're still eating, drinking, and having fun! You eat, drink and be merry all day long, do you think you can pass the exam? Rabbit cub, what are you doing in Suzhou, are you here to play? She was so angry that she grabbed Su Yan's ears.
Liang Chang was so frightened by this sudden pungency that his heart trembled and he looked at her in surprise.
Su Yan screamed in pain. jumped to break free from Su Xian's "claws", hid behind Su Chan aggrievedly, and called weakly:
"Third sister!"
Su Chan stood between Su Xian and Su Yan. With a sugar cane in his mouth, he only cared about gnawing and did not speak.
Su Xian became more and more annoyed, and glared at Su Miao, who came hand in hand with the aftertaste:
"You don't care about your brother, it's going to be a big exam soon, and even the paperwork and Ning Le won't come out, so he will continue to play like this. You can still raise him for the rest of your life! ”
"Alright, alright!" Su Miao smiled and said, "Yan'er came out to do good deeds." Besides, the closer the big exam is, the more you have to combine work and rest, and you put too much pressure on him. If you are overstressed and your hands are shaking during the exam, the gains outweigh the losses. Exams, the emphasis is on the accumulation of weekdays, and it's useless to cram. ”
Su Xian clasped her hands to her chest. Rolled his eyes:
"You can think about it. If he ends up with nothing because of your connivance, I see if you can support him for the rest of your life! ”
"Yes," Su Miao smiled and patted Su Yan's beautiful little brain, "Yan'er, don't be afraid, although the second sister wants you to be admitted, it doesn't matter if you really can't pass the exam, the second sister can still afford to support you." ”
Su Xian snorted. Pouted.
Su Yan was furious, and his self-esteem was deeply stabbed. At the same time, IQ was also seriously insulted, he glared at a pair of beautiful big eyes, and said angrily like a little poodle:
"Who says I can't pass the exam? I'm sure I'll get in! I don't have to raise my second sister! ”
Su Miao ignored him, pulled him aside and let him go to see Su Chan gnawing on sugar cane, swept her eyes around Su Xian and Liang Chang, and asked with a smile:
"Eldest sister, why are you with His Royal Highness King Wen?"
Before Su Xian could answer, Liang Chang had already coughed dryly twice, and solemnly clarified:
"This king and Miss Su met halfway and are going to the same place."
"Where are you going?" Su Miao asked with a smile.
"Going...... yes, where are they going, she keeps saying to go with him, but where is he going?
Su Miao looked at his embarrassed expression when he was stuck, this highness was indeed a little interesting, paused, and said with a smile:
"It seems that His Royal Highness and my sister are already very familiar. Your Highness, my sister likes to joke the most, and if you listen to some jokes, don't take it seriously, if there is any offense, I hope Your Highness will forgive me. She said with a polite blessing.
Liang Chang hurriedly replied with a half-salute, after all, this girl is the eighth uncle's favorite son and future daughter-in-law, looking at the eighth uncle's appearance, it seems that he does not object to this girl passing the door, he naturally wants to be polite, but ......
Wait, what do you mean by "favorite joke"? What does "never take it seriously" mean?
What she meant, Su Xian said that she was also joking when she said "I like him", it was just an excessive joke, so "Please forgive Your Highness...... Bah! What joke? Is there such a joke? It's not so much a joke, it's just a joke about him! Nonsense! The ghost believes it's a joke!
He looked at Su Xian with a dark face, he swore that he was definitely not thinking that she should lean over and pretend to be coquettish and said, "The slave family is not joking, the slave family really likes His Highness."
Of course, Su Xian didn't say that, because she was busy teaching her younger brother a lesson.
So Liang Chang's face darkened.
"Where did this kid come from?" Su Miao looked at the little boy who was still standing in place and asked suspiciously.
Su Xian glanced at it and pouted: "Who knows where the little rabbit cub came from, suddenly bumped into it and scared the old lady!" ”
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and before she could speak, a person ran over panting, and hugged the little boy who was standing in the middle of the road:
"Huzi, where did you go, the third sister will be gone with a wrong eye, you scared me to death!"
It was a little girl of eleven or twelve, handsome, dressed in patched coarse cloth trousers, which had been washed white and very clean. She was born very short and a little malnourished, but such a short stature actually picked a huge flat pole, which was a small wooden cabinet at both ends, the kind commonly used by those who set up food stalls.
"You're his sister? Let such a small child run around, what if you run into a kidnapper? Su Xian frowned and said.
"Yes, yes, I was too careless, I was busy taking care of the business just now, and he ran away with a wrong eye, and it was troublesome for the lady to take care of it, thank you lady!" The little girl thanked her again and again, and blessed a few blessings. Although she is young, she speaks very old, and if you don't look at her face, she thinks that she is an adult.
Su Xian saw her like this. It's hard to say any more.
The girl squatted down and picked up the flat pole, thanked her a few more times, and then pulled her brother away.
Su Xian turned around and asked Su Miao, "Where have you been here?" ”
"Where else to go! Don't mention it, I've starved to death all morning, and I just want to eat now! Su Miao wiped her forehead, the sun made her dizzy, and she sighed with self-pity.
"What are you doing?"
"What else can you do. Su Yan came over early in the morning and asked me to help him find Old Lady Gu's daughter! ”
"It's not for me to find it, it's for Grandma Gu to find it!" Su Yan puffed out his cheeks and corrected unhappily.
Su Xian pursed her lips contemptuously: "I'm willing to meddle in things." One by one, there is nothing to look for! ”
"You don't send money to people every day!" Su Chan spit out the sugarcane skin and coolly exposed it.
Su Xian glanced at her.
Su Yan flattened her red mouth and muttered seriously: "Eldest sister, Grandma Gu is very pitiful." So old. Her hometown was hit by a disaster and her son died again, her eyes couldn't see clearly, and her grandson was small, so she left her hometown and went to her own girl, how much hardship she had to endure on the way! ”
"Who made her dislike the poor and love the rich and disagree with her girl's family affairs, and as a result, her girl eloped with a man and didn't even have a whereabouts. Ask for your own hardship! If it were me, I would rather starve to death in my hometown than come out to beg for food. If you have bad eyes and run around, this is death! ”
"She also wants to find someone who can trust her grandson, the grandmother is old, the child is stupid, and most people will not take it in, it is better to ask for an aunt than to abuse outsiders."
She didn't want to think about whether her girls were doing well, whether she could afford them, and whether her girl's husband was willing to take them in! Hmph, in the end, it's the son and grandson who are the most important! Su Xian sneered.
Others don't understand the meaning, but the Su family sisters and brothers all understand that the Su family used to be a "hard-hit area" that favored sons over daughters, Su Miao didn't feel much, Su Chan's boy's temperament didn't care about unfair treatment at all, and Su Miao and Su Chan's family conditions had improved at that time, and Su Xian was born in the most difficult time of the Su family, and she suffered more unfairness than she imagined, which was a scar that could never be erased in her heart. Even if the conflict between her and her family has been resolved now, because of the piercing hearts of the past, the sharp voice still exists, and I am afraid that this will not be changed until death.
Su Yan didn't dare to say any more, and lowered his head in disdain, as the only man in the family, he would feel sorry for his eldest sister because of his good treatment.
The atmosphere seemed to be a little stiff, and Liang Chang, who was standing outside the circle, was suspicious, looking left and right: What is the situation?
Aftertaste, who was also standing outside the circle, suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Su Miao's shoulder, Su Miao turned his head and saw him raise his hand, so he looked over.
The girl who had just picked up the shoulder and left with her brother came back and stood aside shyly, wanting to say nothing but stopping.
Su Miao looked at her in confusion, such a gaze gave the little girl the courage to speak, she tried to make herself smile brightly and harmlessly, and said enthusiastically:
"Big sister, do you love ravioli? Our wonton shop is in the alley in front, very close, you can go to rest when you are tired, my mother's wontons are delicious! ”
It's clearly a sales pitch.
"Ravioli?" Su Chan spit out the sugarcane skin, and said reluctantly, "On such a hot day, it's better to eat wontons than to eat noodles!" ”
"It's not hot, big sister, we have mountain spring water from the stone mountain in our shop, all of it is poured in the well, it's cold and sweet, it's best to drink it when it's hot!" The little girl still persistently recommended, "Also, the side dishes in our shop are all pickled by ourselves, and we eat them together when we eat wontons, which are refreshing and cool, and they are the best!" ”
Su Miao was really hungry, and when she said this, she suddenly felt delicious.
The four sisters and brothers glanced at each other, and Su Xian asked the girl:
"Where's your shop?"
"There it is! There it is! The little girl pointed to the third alley in front of her and said loudly, "Big sister, our wontons are really delicious, come on, you won't disappoint you, it's really delicious!" ”
She emphasized over and over again that "it's really delicious", which made Su Miao curious, what kind of delicious way to eat, thought about it, and said with a smile:
"You lead the way!"
The little girl was overjoyed, and responded crisply, carrying the burden to lead the way in front, and the Su family sisters and brothers took the lead to follow her.
After reminiscing and turning around, he was about to follow, but he saw that Liang Chang, who was not following or being in a dilemma because no one cared about him, was walking there.
"Isn't Your Highness going?" He flattened his face and said politely.
"Uh...... There is something else to do with this king. How faceless it is to say "I want to go", Liang Chang replied inconsistently.
"Yes, then Your Highness walks slowly." Aftertaste said nonchalantly and followed.
After taking a step, Liang Chang followed, and in the face of the suspicious gaze, he explained like this:
"This king has not been walking around in the people for a long time, just now I saw that the little girl is only eleven or twelve years old, such a young child is going to come out to beg for a living, Suzhou City is so prosperous and there will be this kind of thing, not to mention other places, this king still go to take a look, learn more about the people's suffering, and report to his father after he goes back."
"......" looked at his righteous face, and suddenly remembered a sentence that Su Miao often put on his lips - don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be forced to be struck by lightning.
The group followed the little girl called "Sanniu" to the long alley mentioned earlier, and walked away for about a quarter of an hour, just when Su Miao thought that this little girl would be a liar and planned to lead them to a place where no one killed and robbed money, the little girl suddenly stopped, pointed straight ahead, and said with a bright smile:
"This is it! Big brother and big sister, please, this is our wonton shop! ”
Everyone looked over, and then twitched the corners of their eyes at the same time quite neatly!
This is indeed a wonton shop, after all, there is an old banner with "Feng Ji Wonton" written in front of the door, the flag is no longer old, the red and yellow have faded to gray and white, and many places are in tatters.
The wooden structure of the wonton shop, the paint on it is almost completely gone, revealing the original color of the wood, and many places have been eaten by corrosion and insects, which is extremely dilapidated. The steps in front of the door were hand-built, cracked and crumbled into slag in many places. This wonton shop is so narrow that you can see the end of the shop when you stand outside the door, and the door is so narrow that it can only accommodate one person to walk. The only thing to do is probably that it is clean, even if it is such a dilapidated wonton shop, it is cleaned up and spotlessly clean.
At this time, it was time for dinner, and the small wonton shop was empty.
"Big brother and big sister, please inside!" Feng Sanniu smiled enthusiastically, and shouted at the shop again, "Mother, second sister, a guest is here!" ”
"Guest?" A loud voice came from the shop, and a girl with unkempt hair rushed out of it, with white hands and white faces, and when she saw so many people standing outside the door, she immediately greeted happily, "A few guest officers, please, you can order whatever you want!" ”
The girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, her hair was tied in a bun, and she wore a patched coarse cloth trouser and trousers, and a red trouser belt was tied around her waist, which was so bright red that she was at once refreshed, and she smiled vigorously.
"Second and third, come and help me!" At that moment, the girl's voice sounded from the other side of the alley.
Everyone looked over and saw a girl dressed in red and willow green coming from the other end with a flat pole, greeting her as she walked. This girl looks like she is fourteen or fifteen years old, with oily hair, water and water, and her gestures are full of the youthful style of a young girl.
It turns out that this wonton shop also has three sisters plus a silly little brother! (To be continued.) )
