Episode 4: Mango seed cause and effect, Xiaoting listens to insects at night 6
Early the next morning, Liu Wu was full of vitality, and she was about to go out after a simple tidying up, and after pushing open the door, she was stunned, and at the table in the small courtyard outside the door, Meng Feishi, who got up earlier than her, sat there.
"Uncle got up so early?" Liu Fu came out and asked.
Meng Feishi glanced at Liu Fu and said, "I am a little hungry at night, and I have no leftover food, so I have to get up early and make some to fill the gap in my lower abdomen." β
When Liu Wu came over, there were two dishes and chopsticks on the table, obviously with her share, so she sat on the other side, wanting to eat, but there was inconvenience, don't eat, the little uncle was afraid that he had been busy all morning, and he was not embarrassed at the moment, so he raised the bowl and ate it.
"After eating, let's go to the Flower Building, while it's still early, it's convenient to go, and I'm afraid that there will be many more incidents if it's late."
"Oh, good."
Liu Wu got up and left, regardless of the bowl of chopsticks, and went straight to the painting boat in the Flower Building.
Meng Feishi got up and put away the dishes and chopsticks, washed them with clean water and put them in the cabinet, looked up at the sky, turned around and walked out of the house, and disappeared at the door.
There are three or five boats docked on the side of the Xijiang River, this boat is used to send guests ashore, most of the ordinary people go back to the city directly by taking the cloud row, only a few guests take the boat, so the boat is docked on the shore, and will come to the painting boat to pick up people later.
Liu Wu searched for a long time by the Xijiang River before finding a boat docked here, and immediately came over and asked, "Are the uncles the boat of the Flower Building?" I'm a raccoon girl who went to the painting boat to collect clothes, can you give me a ride? β
"Oh? It turned out that Miss Liu was here, I'm waiting for you, I didn't expect the girl to come so early, please. β
"Huh? You're not the inner one! Oh yes, I haven't thanked the strong man for saving his life! β
"Miss Liu has a good memory, what kind or not, our children don't pay attention to these, the girl can come to our flower building to help, I will be happy for the flower girl."
"But what are you happy to do?"
"Don't hide it, this flower girl, hehe, it's a good match."
"Huh? Is there such a thing? I haven't asked for the name of the strong man yet, it's too rude. β
"Girl, come up first, let's talk as we go."
The big man put the catkins on the boat, and the bamboo artemisia was propped up and left the shore.
"Tell me quickly, who is the name of the strong man? How did you fall in love with the flower girl? β
"Miss Liu joked, a certain family surname is Yan Xingjiu, and she doesn't dislike Uncle Jiu."
"How could it be, Uncle Nine saved my life, and I rebuilt it with grace, where is there any dislike."
"Okay, the girl is a hearty temperament, and she is strict with me, if there is something wrong with this Yinghualou, call me, Uncle Nine will carry it and snatch you out."
"How can it be as serious as you say, it's as scary as a bear and tiger hole."
"How can it be so bad, I'm afraid that the girl will be wronged, we are half of our mother's family."
"Poof, Uncle Nine, you really like to joke."
"Begging for a living, he has a bit of ridicule, and he uses himself more, how can he make fun of others?"
The distance was not far, and he arrived at the painting boat while speaking, Yan Jiu put the rope on the rope and got on the painting boat first, but spread a wide plate between the painting boat and the boat, and said, "Walk on it." β
Liu Fu responded, carrying Luo skirt across the Baner Bridge, I was really a little excited, if I didn't come to Xunyang, how could I encounter such an interesting thing?
"Let's go, I'll take you to find Hua Niang, I told me again and again yesterday, if I don't pick you up, the steamed buns in the morning will be saved!"
"Why is Hua Niang so harsh on you, and she doesn't even give you steamed buns?"
"That mother-in-law is fierce, eat ten more steamed buns in the morning, and it's all good to count! Just call me a rice bucket! β
"Ten more? How many did you eat before? β
"There aren't many in one pot, but there are always more than thirty, right?"
Liu Wu stopped and covered his mouth with his hand, and looked at Yan Jiu in surprise, how could this short man eat like this? Want to eat more than 40 steamed buns in one meal? It's really not something that ordinary people can raise!
"Why don't you leave?"
"Uncle Jiu, you can eat too much!"
"If I can eat, I can work! Is this work of turning off the car something that ordinary people can do? It's not like I have to be strict with Jiu! β
"What is the job of shutting down the car?"
ββ¦β¦β
"It's better not to ask, girl."
"Since Uncle Nine said it, why did he hang me?"
"Phew, look at my mouth, I've said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said, don't embarrass me, girl, I can't explain this job, the Buddha has to say "don't say"! β
"If you don't say it, don't say it, it's mysterious!"
There is a pair of children next door but they got up early, just because their ears and temples have been grinding for a long time, and they talked about some boudoir sweets in the morning, and the man said softly: "Three mountain songs and one poem, and the middle four sentences are new words. β
"Whatever you want, don't make clichΓ©s to me."
"Listen to me sing:
Candlelight shakes the girl's move,
Eat Lang caught to make a deal,
The concubine is weak, cowardly and delicate,
Half-way coercion, half-way suffering,
Only a little poem was chanted,
There should also be no plan to avoid levy. β
"How do you become more and more improper? It's not enough to fill in a song with Cui Chenshu, but make fun of me! β
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Leng Bu came from outside the room, and the man said strangely: "Who will come so early?" is so unscrupulous, aren't you afraid of the Liu family's grandson? β
"Listening to this voice is a woman, could it be Miss Liu coming?"
"Miss Liu? Which Willow girl? β
"Yesterday, the flower girl made an appointment with her to come here to pick up the clothes of the sisters, and asked her to come and wash them, oh, the one called catkins."
"Catkins? It's a familiar name. β
"You recognize?"
"Go and see, a woman doesn't know the rules here, if she is thrown into the Xijiang River, she will probably be drowned."
"You're right, I'll welcome Sister Liu in."
A squeak sounded, and a young woman walked out of the door, and saw Yan Jiu leading the way in front, followed by not catkins, but who came?
The woman waved her hand, her eyes were sharp, she saw an acquaintance, and hurriedly trotted to her side, saying, "Why did Sister Yun get up so early?" β
"Just now Duan Jing heard you making noise, afraid that you would cause trouble, and asked me to lead you over, Sister Liu, this flower building is no better than other places, it is forbidden to raise your voice in the morning, otherwise you will be thrown into the Xijiang River to feed the fish!"
"So scary?"
"Yan Jiu, you go first, I'm here."
Yan Jiu heard this and retreated.
After the door was closed, Liu Fu took a look into the room, only to find an acquaintance sitting at the table, and said in surprise: "How could it be you?" β
Duan Yifeng looked back and was taken aback, "Sister-in-law? Ah! I really fed the dog with this memory, and I forgot my sister-in-law's name and called it catkins! When Fang Yunshu talked to me, I forgot about it! Damn, shit! β
"Duan Jing, do you know Sister Liu?" Yun Shu looked at Duan Yifeng and asked.
"Which one should be called sister? This is the widow of my brother Meng Donggu. β
"Huh? Is there such a clever thing in the world? β
"Uncle still don't say this, my marriage book Meng Zhao has already read it, and said it was fake, I also went out of the door of the Meng family, and I am no longer Meng Yi's widow, don't talk to my sister-in-law again, Sister Yun also called me a sister."
"What's going on? Can you tell me about it? Although I am afraid of Meng Fei's barbaric nature and unreasonableness, but my sister-in-law has been wronged, my fourth son of Xunyang is a family member, even if it is your little uncle, I will support you for the scene! β
"Forget it. He didn't bully me, and he saved my life several times. β
"Is there such a thing? also blame me and other brothers, Erlang didn't dare to come to the door since he came back, so that his sister-in-law was wronged. β
"Uncle, don't call me like that anymore, catkins can't afford it."
"Sister, stay in my room first, and Duan Jing and I will go and call Hua Niang."
"Okay."
Yun Shu pulled Duan Yifeng out of the room, and Duan Yifeng said: "I didn't expect Erlang to be so ruthless, and he actually threw Liu Fu outside and ignored it, lacking the bearing that a man should have." β
"Uncle Meng is deceased, and you all don't deal with Erlang, so don't get involved anymore, oh yes, Sister Liu is not alone, when I met her with Hua Niang yesterday, there was a handsome man beside me, just looking at his color, I wanted to jump Xijiang."
"Absolutely beautiful boy? Meng Feishi! The person you are talking about is Meng Feishi, the second lang of the Meng family! β
"How so? Didn't you still say that the marriage certificate was fake and was swept away? Why did you get involved with Erlang again? β
"Well, I'm afraid there is still an inside story in this matter, Liu Wu once said that Erlang saved her several times, and it seems that he didn't really care about her, and I don't know if I really took her as a sister-in-law."
"You are the judge of other people's strengths and weaknesses? Come with me to the flower girl and get the clothes! β
"Slow down! Since we are old people, we should take care of one or two with others, don't take all the clothes on this floor with her, she is a weak woman, when can she wash it out? β
"What do you mean?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to have dozens of pieces a day with her, so that she can easily and get some money?"
"Even if you are still thoughtful, I will talk to Hua Niang."
Let's talk about walking, the two walked all the way to Hua Niang's room, Yun Shu glanced at Duan Yifeng, knocked on the door, and asked softly, "Hua Niang, is it convenient?" I came here with Duan Jing. β
Squeak, the door opened, Hua Niang's lazy figure appeared behind the door, welcomed the two in, and said, "Hua Niang, I am from here, how can it be convenient or inconvenient?" At my age, where is there some oil and water that people can wipe away? β
"Hua Niang, you are only in your early forties, why do you say some frustrating words? I saw Yan Jiu just now, this guy has been guarding you for many years, why don't you see your dead wood sprouting another spring? β
"Yoh? is a talented man, and he even speaks like this, go and don't come to make fun of me. β
"Okay, don't make fun of you, let's talk about some serious things, Sister Liu is here."
"Coming? What about the man? β
"In my room, I was really shocked, Sister Liu turned out to be Meng Donggu's widow."
"Meng Donggu's widow? He's not, ahem, how can a bride come in the door? β
Duan Yifeng saw that Hua Niang wanted to speak and stopped, it seemed that it was still inconvenient to speak, and immediately said: "Hua Niang doesn't have to worry about me, Brother Meng is deceased, and this sister-in-law really entered the door after being buried." β
"Such a miracle? Oh, I remember, it was rumored that Meng Fei had an affair with his sister-in-law when he was crazy in Xunyang City before, I'm afraid it's not catkins, right? β
"What? Where did you hear about it? Duan Yifeng was furious all of a sudden, which dog was biting his tongue behind his back and being a bad person?
"Oh, blame me for being too talkative, this thing was spread a while ago, but I didn't expect it to be Miss Liu!"
"This is naturally not true, it must be a rumor spread by someone with a heart."
"But this trick is indeed fatal, no wonder the two of them are now moving outside the city to live, presumably to avoid this rumor."
"Hua Niang means that the two of them are outside the city now?"
"Duan Gongzi doesn't know?"
"I'm going to visit with some of my brothers."
"Let's not talk about these first, Duan Jing told me just now, the pulp and laundry for Sister Liu, there is this relationship, we don't want Sister Liu to be too tired, it's better to send less clothes over, doesn't Hua Niang also want to befriend her?"
"Well, when you say this to my heart, I will give her Xue'er, Qiao'er, Fu'er, and yours, and I will buy her two pieces of fine soap."
"Now that it's decided, let's go to the sisters' room to collect the clothes."
"You don't have to send them all today, Xue'er and Qiao'er both have guests, go to Fu'er's room to collect a few pieces first, and you give a few more pieces for her to take first, go back early, don't let the guests block up and cause trouble."
"Okay, I'll go to Sister Fu's."
