Chapter 4 Hair Bundle
In the early morning, Zhong Hao, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by a knock on the door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Brother Hao is up and eating!" Xu Wan banged on the door and shouted loudly.
"Got it!"
Zhong Hao reluctantly got up from the bed, took a lot of effort to put on the shirt, and simply tied his long hair into a ponytail, and came to the room of the Xu family and daughter next door.
"Aunt early, Wan'er early!"
"Brother Hao, it's early!"
Xu was sitting on the edge of the bed embroidering a pair of needlework of a hundred birds and a phoenix, and when he heard Zhong Hao's greeting, he put down the needlework and greeted Zhong Hao: "Da Lang morning, sit down and eat!" ā
Since Zhong Hao and Xu's acquaintance, in order to show cordiality, Xu's no longer called Zhong Hao Brother Hao, but changed his name to Dalang. Zhong Hao once told Xu that he was the eldest in the family and had a younger sister who was separated on the way to escape.
Originally, the Xu family asked Wan'er to call Zhong Hao's cousin, but Wan'er still likes to call Zhong Hao Brother Hao.
Xu Wan'er jumped to the table and sat down, looked at Zhong Hao and said crisply: "Brother Hao is so handsome today!" ā
Zhong Hao looked at Xu Wan, who had taken a bath and changed into new clothes, and was pink and tender, and said with a smile: "Wan'er is also very beautiful today!" ā
Although Xu Wan is still young and her body has not yet opened, her bright eyes and bright teeth, Yao nose and berry lips, and a delicate melon seed face make her really a little beauty embryo.
"Are you well? Isn't it uncomfortable? In fact, there is no need to ask, just seeing Xu Wan's lively appearance, Zhong Hao knew that her wind and cold should be almost better, people in this era have no resistance to Western medicine, and it seems that the medicine he gave her has a quick effect.
"Okay, it's not uncomfortable at all, Brother Hao gave me the medicine that works very well, thank you Brother Hao!"
Xu Shi also came to the table and sat down at this time, and when he looked at Zhong Hao carefully, he was also slightly stunned: the half-grown boy with ragged clothes and unkempt hair yesterday turned into a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth and clear eyebrows after washing and changing into a green cloth shirt. It's just a random ponytail, slightly uncoordinated.
The breakfast on the table was very simple, a plate of steamed buns, a plate of small pickles, and three bowls of two-rice porridge, which should have been bought by Xu's early riser stall.
Although the breakfast was simple, it was warm and made Zhong Hao feel the happiness of someone caring.
Zhong Hao, who has been sluggish since he was a child, has the impression that except for his sister, no one seems to have prepared breakfast for himself. And his rough sister only prepares breakfast for herself when she occasionally rises, as if she prepares breakfast for her most of the time.
Thinking of his sister, Zhong Hao couldn't help but lose his mind, and he didn't know what happened to that girl now? She must be saddened by her disappearance, alas, but I hope she will be able to get out of the shadow of losing herself as soon as possible. In the future, the girl will not have any relatives, I hope she can find a good husband as soon as possible, otherwise she will be alone all day long, alas, it makes people worry when they think about it.
Xu Shi saw that Zhong Hao was suddenly a little distracted, and his eyes became red, knowing that he missed his sister again, he comforted him softly: "Don't worry, Qing'er will definitely be auspicious and live a good life!" "Xu heard Zhong Hao say that his little sister's name is Zhong Qing.
"Hmm", Zhong Hao came back to his senses, looked at Xu's concerned gaze, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and his sad mood decreased a lot. "Hey, let's eat!"
After breakfast, Xu went to return the dishes at the breakfast stall, and when he left, he took out a pair of freshly embroidered needles from his baggage and put them in his sleeve pocket.
Half an hour later, Xu came back with an extra folded scarf in his hand.
"Da Lang is now fifteen years old, and he has reached the age of binding his hair, and he will be an adult in the future, and his aunt has nothing to give you, so I will give you a turban! Come, aunt help you tie it up! Just now, Xu saw the ponytail tied randomly behind Zhong Hao's head, and remembered that when he met him in the mountains, he asked Zhong Hao's age, and Zhong Hao said: He just passed his fifteenth birthday for three days.
The ancients tied their hair at fifteen, even if they were adults. After Zhong Hao came to the Great Song Dynasty, he naturally didn't want to be regarded as a minor, so when he told Xu's mother and daughter, he regarded the day he came to the Great Song Dynasty as his fifteenth birthday. Unexpectedly, Xu was interested, just now she was afraid that she was going to sell the freshly embroidered needle embroidery, so she bought this square headscarf for herself, Zhong Hao couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Zhong Hao, who is used to having a refreshing head in later generations, really doesn't know how to deal with this long hair. Since he regarded Xu as his aunt, Zhong Hao was not polite, so he sat down and asked Xu to teach him to comb his hair and tie his hair.
Soon Xu helped Zhong Hao comb a straight bun, and then folded the scarf to Zhong Hao. The folded scarf is also called the scholar's square scarf and the free scarf, and there are two streamers hanging behind it, which are very elegant when tied to the bun.
Zhong Hao looked at the handsome appearance of himself wearing a green cloth shirt and a scarf in the bronze mirror, and he was very satisfied, and he actually felt that he had a sense of being in the wind of a jade tree. It seems that God is not bad to himself, not only to make himself a dozen years younger, but also to give himself a good skin!
Well, for the sake of God becoming handsome, Zhong Hao decided not to be angry with it, and it seems that it is not bad to live here again. Thinking of this, Zhong Hao's gloomy mood in the past few days suddenly improved a lot, and the whole person became cheerful.
Zhong Hao couldn't help but say to Xu Wan's stinky fart: "Is Brother Hao handsome?" ā
Xu Wan clapped her hands and smiled: "Brother Hao is so handsome!" ā
Xu saw Zhong Hao become lively, and he also pursed his lips and smiled with satisfaction.
Zhong Hao, who was in a good mood, suddenly became high-spirited, since he came here, then live a good life and live a wonderful life.
"Let's go, pack our things, let's go into town!"
"Let's go, let's go into the city!"
The three of them actually have nothing to pack, Zhong Hao has a backpack, and Xu has a burden, which is all the belongings of the three of them.
ā¦ā¦
After spending 60 yuan to hire a cart at the town's carriage and horse shop, and spending 10 yuan to buy a few steamed cakes and some pickled vegetables, Zhong Hao and the three of them got on the cart and went to Qingzhou City. Qingfeng Town is about fifty miles away from Qingzhou City, but most of it is a mountain road through the mountains, so it takes half a day to walk, and lunch must be solved on the road.
The car carried Zhong Hao and the three of them, walking on the Ziqing Ancient Road, at this time it was the spring of March, the grass grew and the warbler flew, the peach red and willow green, the birds sang and the flowers were fragrant, and the scenery on the slopes on both sides of the ancient road was very beautiful, which made people linger.
The Great Song Dynasty lacked horses, and the big car Zhong Hao and the others were riding in was pulled by a sturdy horse mule. The handlebar brother has very good driving skills, and from time to time he throws a long whip to shake up a whip flower to correct the direction of the big car. The whip exploded right next to the mule, but it didn't hit the mule at all.
According to the standards of later generations, in fact, the cart did not go fast, but Zhong Hao still felt that his ass was about to be broken. In this era, ordinary cars do not have many shock absorption measures, and the wheels are iron-clad solid wooden wheels, and the degree of bumpiness can be imagined when running.
Fortunately, the handlebar brother cherishes the leg strength of the horse and mule, and will stop to let the horse and mule rest after walking for an hour, and by the way, drink some water and eat some horse food, Zhong Hao They can take the opportunity to get out of the car to take a breath and rest.
The handlebar brother is very talkative, just like the taxi drivers of later generations, and he knows some of the big and small things on the Qingzhou territory. Along the way, Zhong Hao talked with the little brother very complimentally, trying to learn more about this era.
Since Zhong Hao and the others were not early when they set off from Qingfeng Town today, it was already the sun setting west when they saw Qingzhou City.
On both sides of the road outside the east gate of Qingzhou City, there are countless shacks densely built on the spacious flat land. According to the handlebar brother, these shacks are inhabited by people who fled from Hebei.
Walking through the endless shantytown, Zhong Hao and the others entered the city from Haidai Gate, the east gate of Qingzhou City!
The handlebar brother introduced Zhong Hao and the others to a cheap inn, and sent them over after Zhong Hao's consent.
Zhong Hao settled the car money, and the handlebar brother went to his own car and horse shop in Qingzhou City.
Tomorrow he needs to pull another carload of guests back to Qingfeng Town, and this trip can be considered profitable. Otherwise, if he drove back tomorrow, he wouldn't be able to make any money. At this time, a laborer can earn twenty or thirty wen a day, and he earns eighty wen for two days with people and cars.
After a long journey, the three of them were so tired that they opened the guest room, ate some food casually, and rested early.
