Chapter 5 Traveling to the West Market Together
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Sima Shu and the sheep were sacrificed, Sima Shu needless to say, no one was in charge, and he arrived in the West Market early in the morning. But Yang Xianrong was different, and when his father went to the yamen, he hid it from his mother, and begged for a long time before he finally went out, and when the two of them arrived in the West Market in a carriage, it was almost noon.
Sima Shu was waiting impatiently, and finally saw the sheep offering his face, and inevitably complained: "If you don't come again, the market will be closed." ”
"How can I break my promise with you?" Yang Xianrong said and looked at the lively market, and his expression suddenly lifted: "There are so many people, it must be very fun." "Then you have to squeeze into the place where there are the most people.
Yang Ting secretly complained in his heart, so he had to grab the sheep and offer his face, and said pleadingly: "Don't go to a place with a lot of people." ”
Yang Xianrong still cared about his brother, shook off Yang Ting's hand and squeezed forward. However, Sima Shu, although he had never been to such a place, still maintained his demeanor at this time, and walked slowly and leisurely with the steps of Yang Xianrong.
This bazaar occupies an entire street from south to north, and there are vegetables, fish, meat, cloth and clothing for people to eat; For entertainment, there are juggling troupes, guessing rings; Of course, there are also women's favorite rouge gouache and jewelry; Not to mention the literati and ink writers must stop to play jade, books and picture albums.
Yang Xianrong turned from here to there, and his mouth kept making exclamations, and Sima Shu was still holding the shelf at first, and after a while, he was also dazzled by this dazzling array of things, and he was even more excited than Yang Xianrong.
The two of them turned around to a meat stall, and saw that the butcher was shirtless, and his face was greasy and greasy, shining brightly in the sun. Seeing him pick up the knife in his hand, he cut off a large piece of meat and put it on the scale, picked it up and fiddled with the scale, handed the scale to the woman who bought the meat in front of the stall, and said, "It's just right, isn't it?" ”
The woman said with a smile on her face, "No need to weigh it, I can trust your hand." ”
The butcher smiled, put the meat into the woman's basket, looked back at Yang Xianrong and Sima Shu, and asked in a loud voice, "You are also here to buy meat?" ”
Yang Xianrong hurriedly shook his head, and was about to pull Sima Shu away, but Sima Shu looked at the butcher with admiration and asked, "Is your hand as accurate as weighing?" ”
The butcher said indifferently: "You sell meat like this every day, and you can also practice this skill." ”
"Really?"
The butcher glanced at Sima Shu again, and said with a sneer: "Looking at the son's dress, don't say that he sells meat, he just eats meat, I'm afraid that someone will chew it and send it to your mouth." ”
Yang Xianrong pursed his lips and fought for Sima Shu: "You speak so ugly, where do you look like a businessman?"
Sima Shu said indifferently: "My grandfather used to be a butcher, he didn't have such accurate hands as you, if you wait for me to go back to practice, he will definitely be no worse than you." ”
The butcher glanced at them again, ignoring them. The two of them were bored, and then went elsewhere. Yang Xianrong asked curiously, "Is your grandfather really a meat seller?"
"Of course." Sima Shu nodded: "My mother said that my grandfather was very capable, and he could slaughter a big fat pig by himself. ”
Yang Xianrong looked at Sima Shu from head to toe again, and said in surprise: "But you are dressed like this, no wonder the butcher just now didn't believe you." So what do you do at home? ”
"I ......" Sima Shu opened his mouth, looked up and saw a restaurant in front of him, so he asked, "Are you hungry?" I am hungry. ”
As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, he immediately gave up digging into the roots, nodded and said, "I'm hungry." He turned his head to look at Yang Ting again, and said again: "I'm hungry." ”
Yang Ting smiled bitterly, also pointed to the restaurant, and said, "Then go in and eat." ”
It was lunch time, and the restaurant was full of people coming and going, and it was very noisy, and a few people found a low table with no one in place, sat down cross-legged at random, and ordered some soup cakes and other foods to eat, and chatted.
When the food came up and everyone raised their chopsticks, Xie An, who was beside Sima Shu, suddenly took out a silver needle from his sleeve and checked the food on the table one by one. Yang Xianrong was unsure and asked, "What is this doing?" ”
Xie An took the needle and said with a smile: "It's nothing." But there's nothing wrong with being cautious. ”
Seeing that Yang Xianrong still didn't understand, Sima Shu said lightly: "It's just a test of poison." ”
Yang Xianrong wanted to ask again, but Yang Ting interrupted: "You big families are particular." After speaking, he gave Yang Xianrong a meaningful look, and said: "Since everyone is hungry, then don't be polite, move the chopsticks." ”
Yang Xianrong was about to eat when he heard that he picked up chopsticks, but was blocked by Yang Ting intentionally or unintentionally, only to see him greet Sima Shu diligently, Yang Xianrong pouted unhappily and shouted: "What are you doing?" I'm hungry too. ”
The sheep was very busy and gave the sheep a piece of meat, and coaxed: "What are you anxious about?" Can I be missing you? ”
A meal is also enjoyable, although the age difference between several people is huge, but there is no scruple in amusing it, although Yang Ting is the oldest except for the silent strong man, but he is the most active, all kinds of strange people and strange things come when they open their mouths, Yang Xianrong is young, Sima Shu and Xie An have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and they are naturally stunned by him. Talking and laughing, Yang Ting's eyes glanced at Sima Shu from time to time, and after eating a meal, he already knew it in his heart, so the rest of the time, he was even more diligent, and almost used all his strength to please Sima Shu, so that when the sun was slanting in the west, Sima Shu was a little reluctant to Yang Ting, so he made an appointment to play together.
When Yang Xianrong and Yang Ting's brothers and sisters returned to Yangfu, it was already very dark, and they went out for half a day, and the family couldn't hide it anyway. Yang Xuanzhi was already furious, accusing the Sun family of having no way to teach his son, and lamented that he was lucky for a long time, so that Yangfu fell to this point, and he couldn't even look at a backyard.
After Yang Xuanzhi saw Yang Ting and Yang Xianrong dressed in men's clothes, he immediately jumped up and scolded: "Do you two still recognize me as a father?" How dare you ......" He turned his gaze to Yang Xianrong and continued to scold: "You are a girl, how dare you dress up outside like this, do you want to have a reputation?" Do you not want fame, nor the reputation of your house, nor the reputation of your father? If outsiders know that I can't even teach a daughter, how can I be an official outside? I will punish you severely today, so that you may remember it for a long time. ”
Yang Xianrong was afraid of his father, but when he was scolded like this, he had already lost his mind, and when he heard that he was going to fight, he was so frightened that he went into Sun's arms, but he also knew that Sun couldn't protect her, so he had to look at Yang Ting like a helper.
Yang Ting was not in a hurry, he grabbed his angry father and said, "Father is angry, and listen to his son." ”
Yang Xuanzhi was furious, and scolded directly: "Bastard thing, who gave you the courage to take your sister out?" Don't you even understand the importance of something? ”
"Father." Yang Ting deliberately aggravated his tone and shouted: "My son really has something important to report, my father will listen to his son first, and then it's not too late to beat and punish him." ”
Yang Xuanzhi glared at Yang Ting, and when he saw that he was in trouble, he roared in a low voice: "Say." ”
"It's inconvenient to say this in public."
Yang Xuanzhi was just about to get angry again, and when he saw Yang Ting squeezing his eyebrows, he had to suppress his anger and waved his hand to others, and after everyone retreated, he asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”
"My sister met a kid outside, and according to what my son saw, that kid should be His Royal Highness the Prince."
