Chapter 4 Living by Hardship

In the twenty-fifth year of the Beiliang Kingdom, in the politics of the King of Beiliang, Beiliang gradually regained the prosperity that had been 'prosperous', and the people also lived a life of food and clothing, which could be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment; after a long and cold winter, finally, the spring of the rebirth of all things came; villages, mountains, and rivers seemed to change into new clothes of spring overnight; The spring in Liangcheng is exceptionally clear and pleasant; In the past, the secluded small market was bustling with people.

I saw that under a willow tree with 10,000 new flowers, a middle-aged woman kept shouting, "Come and buy, the first net fish of spring, a new good omen, come and buy it"

I don't know if it's the woman's shouting, or it's a good omen for spring, and the people who are going to the road are happy to rush up; The woman was smiling, and her hands and feet were busy.

I just listened, and another longer woman said, "When did Yo Qian girl give birth to such a handsome girl?" ”

Qian Meizi is the woman who sells fish 'Qian Juzi' Qian Juzi looked at the girl on the side and said without a good voice: "Muzi, don't come over and see Aunt Chen soon." ”

"Hello Aunt Chen." Just listen, the sound is immature, crisp and pleasant; This woman is dressed in plain clothes, with black hair draped around her waist, and her slightly stained face does not hide her handsome face.

Aunt Chen said happily; "Yo that's good"

Qian Juzi said meaninglessly, "Alas, Aunt Chen is laughing, this girl is not born to my sister, I don't know, who raised it for nothing!" ”

Aunt Chen said with a malicious face, "Look at what the sister said, such a handsome girl will definitely be able to marry a good family in the future, and when the time comes, the bride price will be indispensable to you." ”

Qian Juzi glanced at Muzi and sighed; "I hope so!"

At this time, Aunt Chen looked around and beckoned to Qian Juzi; Qian Juzi understood, wiped the water on her hands, and walked to Aunt Chen; I saw that Aunt Chen was muttering in Qian Juzi's ear; On the faces of the two of them, there was a seeping smile on their faces at the same time.

In the next few days, Qian Juzi always asked Shuangmuzi to accompany him to the market to sell fish on the grounds that Li Daping was unwell.

On this day, Shuangmuzi wore a pink gauze skirt, lined with snow-like skin, as delicate as a hibiscus out of the water; Holding a simple bun and wearing a pear blossom hairpin looks more refined.

"Yo, you're such a beautiful ruffian." Qian Juzi looked at the frost in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Auntie, aren't we going to sell fish today?" Shuangmuzi saw that Qian Juzi was dressed up so ostentatious, and he was very unclear;

"Of course, you're going to sell fish, you usually wear so shabby, customers don't want to look at our fish stalls, in the future, you look better, and there will naturally be more fish customers." Although Qian Juzi's impatient Dao Shuang Muzi felt that the reason was far-fetched, he didn't say much about it.

"Oops, don't stand stupidly, hurry up and pack your things and go." Qian Juzi urged while packing up her things; When Shuangmuzi heard this, he also stepped forward to help clean up.

When you come to a deserted mountain; Frost Muzi felt that something was wrong; So, he asked, "Auntie, aren't we going to the market?" ”

"Of course, I'm going to the market, but let's change the market to sell today, and the business will be better." Qian Juzi said as she walked;

"Oh," Shuangmuzi replied thoughtfully.

Wait for the two of them to walk through a small mountain road; come, a larger market; On both sides of the street, the stall owners are shouting happily, and people come and go in the street.

I just listened, and a man said in a rough voice, "What time is this, is it coming or not?" ”

"Master Hu, don't worry, the appointment is made, and it's almost here." The woman standing opposite, looking around;

"Hmph" The man who called Hu Ye glanced at the woman with a displeased face.

The woman looked over and saw Qian Juzi and Shuangmuzi not far away, and hurriedly stepped forward and complained, "Oh, I said Sister Qian, what time has it been, so let's wait for Master Hu." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've kept you two waiting." Qian Juzi stepped forward quickly and echoed the woman;

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, what about people?" Hu Ye urged impatiently. "Zai" Qian Juzi looked flattering, turned around and shouted again, "Muzi, come over and see Hu Ye." ”

"I've seen Master Hu." Shuangmuzi took two steps forward, looking at the fat and extremely vicious looking man in front of him, his willow eyebrows frowned slightly;

"Well, it looks quite smart, I don't know what this body is." Hu Ye looked Shuangmuzi up and down, with a chilling smile on his face.

"Although Master Hu can rest assured, this daughter of my family has been smart and clever since she was a child, and with a little teaching, she must be a good seedling in a million." Qian Juzi gestured.

"Okay, the money belongs to you, and the people belong to me." Hu Ye glanced at Shuang Muzi, took out a money bag from his arms, and handed it to Qian Juzi;

"Okay, okay, I'm going to trouble Master Hu in the future." Qian Juzi took the money bag, opened it and looked at it, her eyes were shining, and the expression on her face was enough to show her mood at this time.

All the while, Shuangmuzi, who was standing on the side, seemed to sense the intentions of both sides; With a hint of uncertainty, he said, "Auntie, what are you?" ”

"Oh Muzi, over the years, you also know the situation of our family, your uncle has been in poor health recently, and the source of life in this family has been cut off, you call us, how will you live in the future; Fortunately, I know an old friend, saying that the famous "Yanyu Building" at the top of the "Liangcheng" is lacking some domestic helpers, aunt I think, instead of letting you suffer in my house, it is better to let you live a good life, no, I finally asked someone to find Hu Ye's help, in order to send you in, you have to behave well;" Qian Juzi has not been waiting to see Shuangmuzi from the beginning, and now he has the opportunity to send him away, and he can get a sum of silver, which is very good.

Shuangmuzi knew that Li Daping's family was already poor, and the husband and wife only made a living from fishing; Because Li Daping couldn't have children, the couple's life was okay; In the past two years, Li Daping has taken care of himself in every possible way, as if he were his own; Seeing this, Qian Juzi kept treating herself as lustful; But in the face of the overnight extinction of the 'Lin Mansion', the status quo of Shuangmuzi is extremely satisfied.

"You can rest assured, Hu Ye has already arranged it." Qian Juzi saw that Shuang Muzi was distracted, and reminded again.

"Muzi thanks Auntie for her kindness; It's just that the uncle and aunt have taken care of Muzi over the years, Muzi has nothing to repay, please accept Muzi's worship. Frost Muzi knelt down on her knees and bowed deeply.

"Muzi, what are you doing, you don't blame Auntie, I'm already very pleased, hurry up." Qian Juzi watched Shuangmuzi kneel on the ground, feeling guilty in her heart; Busy helping the frost wood up.

"Auntie, don't say that, Auntie is also for Muzi's good, Muzi understands." Shuangmuzi knew that his departure was decided, so he didn't say anything more.

Qian Juzi bowed her head in embarrassment and was silent;

"Uncle has been in poor health recently, and Aunt Lao will take care of him more, and Muzi will come back to visit." Although Shuangmuzi didn't know if he could come back, no matter what, Li Daping and his wife were his benefactors, and they should repay him for their affection and reason.

"Oh, you can go with confidence, I will take care of your uncle." Qian Juzi is really not used to the scene at this time.

"Okay, okay, where are you talking so much, hurry up." Hu Ye looked at it, the two of you said a word, and I was already impatient;

When Shuangmuzi was about to get into the carriage, he took off the pear hairpin at the bun; took a deep look and handed it to Qian Juzi, "Auntie, Muzi has nothing valuable, this pear hairpin is a pity for Muzi in his life, and it is given to Aunt Auntie today, all of which should be thankful for taking care of him in the past two years." ”

"Ah, how is this good?" Qian Juzi took the pear hairpin and took a look, only to see that the hairpin needle was made of metal, and a pear flower carved with white jade was inlaid at the end, which was very expensive.

Shuangmuzi got into the carriage, opened the curtain, and said to Qian Juzi; "Take care, auntie."

"Driving" Hu Ye drove the carriage and waved his whip; The horses marched away.

Qian Juzi looked at the carriage in the distance, shook his head slightly, looked down at the money bag, and instantly smiled.
