Volume 1 A Small World Chapter 27 Things are people, not old people
Central Domain, Tianfeng City.
Ankang Street in the east of the city, the street is smooth and wide, the mansions on the side of the street are lined up, the dignitaries and nobles, the businessmen and the wealthy have settled down here, the crowds are surging on weekdays, the bustle is extraordinary, the land price is every inch of land, it is called "the rich street".
Now it's an eventful season, there are few people on the streets, the roads are deserted, and there is no longer the prosperity of the past. At this moment, looking around, only to see an old woman, twisting the vegetable basket, hurriedly passing by, she went straight to a courtyard at the end of the street, there is a plaque in the courtyard, on the "piano dance workshop".
"Huh, at this time, the sound of the piano is endless, how can I ...... today" The old woman did not hear the sound of the piano, and was puzzled for a while, she looked at the deserted street, sighed, and was about to push the door in, but then the door opened, and a group of young girls came out, their faces were dull and unhappy, and after they came out, a middle-aged beauty who still had charm came out.
"Master Liu, are you really not leaving? My father can help arrange it. A young girl spoke first.
"Master Liu, if you stay in the city any longer, I'm afraid it's dangerous, you better make plans early!" The rest of the girls advised one after another, they were gorgeously dressed and had a good temperament, and they all came to be rich and noble.
"You wait for good intentions, I understand it! Don't let your family worry, go back quickly!" Liu Shi's face was relieved.
"Liu Shi ......" The girls do not give up.
"I have made up my mind, don't persuade me again. "Liu Shi has a firm attitude.
The scene was quiet for a while, and only the girl could be heard crying.
Liu Shi felt uncomfortable in his heart, and comforted him in his mouth: "No need to be sad, there is no feast in the world, joys and sorrows are commonplace, I can teach you to wait for many years, I have no regrets, I will meet again when I have a fate, let's go!"
The girl's body, which is already sentimental, is even more moved at this time.
"Master Liu, I will carry forward your piano and dance skills!"
"I will do the same, and I will never let down Professor Liushi!"
"This is back, Master Liu stays, take care!"
......
The girls couldn't be persuaded, so they had to say goodbye with reluctance, and Liu Shi's face was full of love, and she saw them one by one, and when people disappeared from sight, she finally burst into tears.
In the south of the city, an ordinary family, an old couple, with worried faces, discussed in a low voice.
"Xianggong! But there is a reply?" the old woman was dignified, thinking that she was good looking when she was young.
"No! According to the time, there should have been news a long time ago, I'm afraid the second uncle doesn't want to deal with it! Hey......" The old man was helpless, and the old woman smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's no wonder! After all, the second uncle and they are ordinary people, and it is difficult to arrange for us to ...... a family" Before the old woman finished speaking, the door of the "bang......" was suddenly knocked open, and a little girl of five or six years old hurriedly ran over: "Grandma! Grandma! Look what I have caught!" She grabbed a little milk cat in her hand, and happily sat directly on the old woman's lap, her eyes staring straight at it, as if seeking praise, and the little milk cat was still struggling, and barking wildly.
"Oh, my little girl is amazing!" the old woman cooperated, "Hee-hee, Rui Rui is amazing, Grandpa, you look at it!" The little girl was praised and even more excited, "Haha! Xiao Rui Rui can catch kittens! Awesome!!" The old man also smiled and boasted, his face was completely devoid of the previous worries, but the worries in his heart were even worse: "After all, children! A little thing can be a little fun, but unfortunately the current situation is ......"
"Daddy, mother!" At this time, a man and a woman walked in, and the little girl saw it, and shouted at them excitedly: "Daddy! Mother, look! I caught a kitten!" Her father and mother didn't seem to have the heart to tease her: "Okay! Go to the side and play, Daddy and grandparents have something to do." The little girl was not happy, and pouted, "Daddy hates it!" As soon as she finished speaking, her father was about to fight, "I can't fight! I can't fight!" The little girl cried out, first running away in a hurry, and then looking at it from a distance, making a grimace from time to time...... There were four people in the room, shaking their heads and saying nothing.
In the west of the city, in a small iron shop, there sat a big man, who seemed to have nothing to do, looking at the deserted street outside in a daze: "When will it be the head? Do you really want to drag your family and your mouth to become a homeless person?"
At this time, a woman came out of the back room: "Xianggong, is there still no business?" When the big man heard this, he scolded helplessly: "Don't mention it! I haven't seen a single ghost!"
"If it really doesn't work, sell the shop, and let's go somewhere else?" the woman proposed, and the big man smiled bitterly: "You, stupid! Who will buy it in this time?" The woman was speechless for a while, and the big man said after thinking: "Don't panic, your life is important, it's a big deal that you don't want a shop, and you can't go to be a homeless person at worst!"
"Let's all follow the minister! I have a little savings over the years, and even if our family of three leaves, we still have some hopes......" Before the woman finished speaking, the big man hurriedly pulled her over: "Madam! Don't talk about this, now the army is in chaos, for fear that others don't know how many children you have!" The more the big man said, the more angry he became: "Since I became a family, I have been striking iron every day, and I have worked hard day and night, but I can only support my family, you can't help a little, don't say it, it's ...... Why did you marry such an incompetent stupid woman in the first place!" The woman was stunned, the corners of her eyes were moist, and the big man couldn't bear to see this, so he comforted: "I said it, don't be sad, madam, blame me!"
"It's hard work!" the woman was a little better, "hey...... I'm hungry, let's cook!" the woman heard this, and went to the back room, and the big man looked out in a daze, and after a long time, he thought to himself: "Young Master Zhan, are you still alive? I hope someone can help us like you!"
In the north of the city, the original Zhanjia mansion is now built with a temple.
As soon as I walked closer to the time and space of the war, I saw the plaque saying "Young Master Temple".
At this time, someone greeted him: "You are well! But you want to offer incense and pray?"
"No need, you can explain to us the origin of this temple!" The man was a little disappointed, smiled during the war, and gave Fu Bo a look, Fu Bo took out a lot of silver and handed it over: "Take it!" The man was excited when he saw this, and quickly took it: "Thank you! Good people have good rewards!"
The man took the money and said eloquently: "This young master temple was built spontaneously by the people of Tianfeng City, at first it was just to commemorate the young master of Zhan, and then slowly some people came to offer incense and pray...... The man recalled: "Young Master Zhan's name is called war time and space, the young master of the original Zhan family of the first family of Tianfeng City, but it is a pity that more than 30 years ago, the Zhan family offended a powerful monk and was destroyed overnight......"
Hearing this, Zhan Shi was a little entangled, and interjected: "What is the behavior of the young master Zhan? It made the people of the city so worried, and even built a temple on his own initiative! Seeing that you are not very old, have you ever seen the young master Zhan?" The man shook his head: "When the Zhan family fell, I was only five years old! Even if I saw it, I couldn't remember it." Speaking of this, the man said respectfully: "Although I haven't experienced it personally, but so many people think of Young Master Zhan's goodness, he must be an incomparably great person!"
When Lan Lan and Fu Bo heard this, they smiled and said embarrassedly during the war: "That...... Take us around!" The man took the order and said as he walked: "There are many memorials, and some stories can be confirmed, please come with me." ”
After a short time, the group came to a room, which was not large, cleaned, and several large tables were neatly placed, and there were many large and small items of all kinds on the tables.
Several people were curious during the war, and the man pointed to a fan and said, "This folding fan was given by Liu Cuier." Back then, Liu Cuier was a geisha in the Spring Festival Building, with a good body, color, piano, and dance, and was deeply appreciated by the young master Zhan, who gave countless money and money, and gave a gift: out of the mud without staining. However, the place of brothels is mixed, although Liu Cuier does not sell her body, she can't help herself after all, thanks to the help of Young Master Zhan, she has maintained her innocence for many years. ”
"What about later?" Lan Lan knew about Liu Cuier, and was curious about the inside story.
Liu Cuier is getting older, and later left the Spring Festival Building, it is rumored that when she left, she was still innocent, and some people speculated that she was to practice the evaluation and expectations of Young Master Zhan for her. Later, Liu Cuier bought a courtyard on Fugui Street in the east of the city, opened a furniture workshop, and specialized in teaching piano and dance. Liu Cui'er is a double piano and dancer, quite famous in Tianfeng City, there are many rich ladies who come here, and she lives a comfortable life, but she has never started a family in her life, which is the only regret!"
Lan Lan and a few people sighed when they heard this, stretched out their hands during the war, and the folding fan suddenly flew over, shook it away casually, and there was a line of words: Out of the mud without staining.
"This woodcarved sedan chair was given by Shen Yan. It is said that back then, Shen Yan was sixteen years old, extremely handsome, and was often teased by Young Master Zhan on the street. Shen Yan has been generous since she was a child, and she was not shy back then, whenever Young Master Zhan flirted, she always responded: Waiting for Young Master Zhan's eight sedan chairs to welcome me into the door! Young Master Zhan gave up every time he heard the words, and the two of them came and got acquainted with each other, and then Shen Yan's family encountered great difficulties and looked for Young Master Zhan to help, so they passed the ...... peacefully"
"This pig ceramic was given by Huang Xiaohu. Once, he was running around on the street and accidentally bumped into Young Master Zhan, and his clean and expensive clothes were dirty, and Young Master Zhan scolded: "Caught feeding the pigs!" As a result, Huang Xiaohu was not only not caught feeding the pigs, but accidentally ate pork! Since that time, Huang Xiaohu has repeated his old tricks every once in a while, and poor Young Master Zhan loves to wear white clothes, and since then he has often been dirty...... This is the origin of the ceramic image of the human pig - the pig bites the child's foot, and the child bites the pig's tail. ”
"This certificate of merit was presented by the City Lord's Mansion. Back then, there were two major scourges in Tianfeng City, mountain bandits, horse thieves and flower thieves, one side was strong and the other was cunning, and it was difficult to exterminate for many years......
......
The man continued to explain, and several people in the war time and space sighed non-stop, until night, and did not leave.
"Lan Lan, Fu Bo, Aunt Min, you go and find Liu Cui'er, Shen Yan and Huang Xiaohu!" After thinking about the war, he said: "If you invite your immediate family members, you will go to Xiangyi Restaurant." The three of them understood, and went separately.
"Shopkeeper! Today's consumption is all counted as my account! Specialty of wine and food, three tables are reloaded!" Fang Yi shouted as soon as he entered the door.
At this time, there were not many guests in the Xiangyi Restaurant, and they were all strange: "Who is this person?
"Really?"
"Inexplicable! Can't we afford to eat?
......
The reaction was completely different from that of many years ago, which made Zhan Shi, who wanted to have fun, stunned for a moment, and then lost his interest, and the famous Zhan Xiaozu in the cultivation world, in front of ordinary people, was embarrassed at this moment.
"This voice ......" At this time, an old man ran out of the room, saw the time and space of the war, he was stunned for a while, and then said excitedly: "Young Master Zhan! You are Young Master Zhan! Young Master Zhan, you are still alive!"
"You ......" Seeing that the old man seemed to really know himself, he looked at him carefully during the war, and then suddenly realized: "It's you!
"It's me! It's me! Young Master Zhan! You ......" The young junior back then, the old man is still excited today.
"Don't ask me first, what about the shopkeeper?"
"Young Master Zhan, now I'm the shopkeeper!"
"Oh, you're a daughter-in-law, okay! You know my rules, go quickly!" The shopkeeper was reluctant, but still took the order.
The two of them had a conversation, and they could hear it clearly: "Could it be that he is the rumored Young Master Zhan? Isn't he dead for more than thirty years?"
......
Seeing the old people, a little joyful, the war time and space was too lazy to take care of them, then went upstairs, straight to the third floor, he vaguely remembered, there was the best private room in the whole restaurant, and when he sat down in the room, the war time and space also sighed: "It's been more than 30 years, things are not people! But the pattern of Xiangyi Restaurant has not changed." ”
