Soon the second daughter entered Xin'anji. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The bazaar was originally planned to be very large, and on Thursday, it was almost as big as Suining County, and there were three gates in a row.

They enter from the north gate, this side is more lively, rice shops, butcher shops, oil and salt shops, grocery stores, cloth villages, cotton shops, teahouses, recently there are more restaurants, inns, collapsed houses and other buildings.

Now there is no need to go to the market day, there is a lot of traffic here, especially all kinds of food stalls.

However, because of water transportation, merchants, boatmen, and porters gathered, making the bazaar more and more prosperous, and especially for bulk commodities, there were many people. Transporting, loading and unloading rice, wheat, coal, iron, stones, etc., each ship needs a lot of manpower, which is one of the reasons for the sharp increase in the flow of people in Xin'anji.

The ground is also paved with gravel, which is quite easy to walk, and it is no longer muddy on rainy days, and the merchants are praised.

At this time, there were many people walking on the street, and when they saw the second daughter riding a horse, they all cast surprised eyes.

In particular, many people whispered and inquired, after all, it is rare for a woman to ride a horse and swagger.

However, people who knew him hurriedly greeted Li Ruwan: "Yo, Master Li." ”

"Ah, it's Master Li!"

"Ah, it's Li Ye, I haven't seen you for a few days, Li Ye is even more majestic!"

Li Ruwan arched her hands lightly, she often came to the market to play, because she spent money chicly, made heroic moves, and was very popular in the market, and many merchants knew her.

Qian Sanniang was a little curious, but she had a cold temperament and a cold appearance, and no one dared to talk to her, so she only saluted her from afar.

Soon the two came to the cross street, where a new "Wanyuan Chang" restaurant was built on the street, with two floors, ornaments and buildings, as well as rich appearances such as stone carvings and wood carvings, but it was built by a Xuzhou boss.

He was optimistic about the development of the bazaar, and spent a lot of money to buy land and build a building, which was built last month, and the dishes in it were rich, especially the roasted whole sheep. After Li Ruwan saw it, she often came over to patronize, and today she even pulled Qian Sanniang over to eat.

Li Ruwan is an old guest, and the "Wanyuan Chang" guys all know her, and when they saw her coming, they hurriedly lined up to greet her, and looked at Qian Sanniang with curious eyes.

The second daughter got off the horse, and Li Ruwan instructed the men to lead their horses to the backyard to feed them, and told them: "Good life is waiting." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper of the restaurant also rushed over when he heard the news, greeted him with a smile on his face, and looked at Qian Sanniang tentatively: "This is Captain Qian?" Visit the small shop, and it will shine brightly. ”

Soon Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan went upstairs, and the shopkeeper led them attentively and took them to a window seat facing the street, where the scenery was good and they could see the street scene.

Qian Sanniang saw that there were already a lot of guests dining upstairs, and all kinds of meat aromas were mixed together, especially a unique mutton fragrance came, which made her stomach growl.

She sat down with Li Ruwan, the seat was separated from the adjacent seat by a screen, and she didn't know what flowers and birds were painted on it.

Li Ruwan swaggered down, took out her two axes and put them aside, and said: "Shopkeeper, the master came today to say that the roasted whole sheep on your side is very good, so bring my good sister over to patronize, you have to cheer up and say hello." ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "It is all thanks to Li Ye and Captain Qian that the small shop can maintain its livelihood." ”

Li Ruwan snorted and said, "Sheep have it, right?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "There must be, they are all one- and two-year-old lambs, the meat is tender and tasteless, and there are light side dishes to relieve oiliness." Li Ye has also eaten and knows the signboard of the shop. ”

Li Ruwan said: "Let's have a head." ”

She said, "What's the wine?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "There are flower carvings in our store, as well as bamboo leaf green wine, which one do you want?" ”

Li Ruwan said: "Let's come to the two altars of flower carving." ”

The shopkeeper went to work, and the guy brought tea to drink first.

Qian Sanniang took a sip of tea, but she couldn't taste anything, but she felt comfortable sitting by the window and watching the pedestrians below busy and rushing around for their livelihoods, while she sat in the restaurant and waited to enjoy the food.

Li Ruwan also took a sip of tea, exhaled happily, and said with emotion: "This is life, Sanniang, let me tell you, we women can't treat ourselves badly, especially the most important thing, we must have money in our hands." If you have money, others will suck you and please you. Just like my mother-in-law, I have seen her shrink since I was a child, but my father has never given her a good look, beaten and scolded, and kept calling her a dead mother-in-law. …… Now, she has opened a weaving workshop in Yangzhou, and my father has changed, calling her a heart baby. I'm in charge every day, I have money or not, there is such a big difference. ”

Qian Sanniang laughed and said, "Sister Ruwan is right. ”

The two laughed and talked, and the diners in the restaurant all cast different glances, and some even shook their heads and sighed.

Whenever a woman is happily alive, a man is always lost.

Soon the roasted whole sheep was served, steaming, golden butter bright, brown and crispy, as well as side dishes of seasonal vegetables, and two jars of Huadiao wine.

The two girls each held a knife and cut the roasted whole sheep wherever they wanted.

Qian Sanniang ate it, only to feel that the meat was soft and tender, and the fragrance of mutton was tangy, so she couldn't help but say: "It's delicious." ”

She eats meat and drinks Huadiao wine, which is the best in rice wine, the wine is soft, the wine is fragrant, and the wine is sweet and mellow.

This drinking wine and eating meat is really very pleasant.

Qian Sanniang's heart swelled up, this is a kind of freedom and happiness of economic independence.

In the past, she followed her father to dart, and on average, it was only a few dollars of monthly silver, and she didn't dare to eat or drink at all.

It's the first time I've had such a pleasure today.

And this is her own struggle, spending her own money, without any psychological burden.

Li Ruwan also grabbed the mutton happily and drank wine.

She drinks a lot, and it's no problem for her to drink a jar and a half of such a flower carving.

The remaining half of the altar is drunk by Qian Sanniang.

After the wine was hot, Li Ruwan said: "Now that we have a foundation and saved money, the most important thing is to find a man." I, Li Ruwan, am nineteen years old this year, and you are eighteen years old Sanniang, but Sanniang, you don't have to be afraid, although you have long legs, it can be seen that Yang Xianggong is very interested in you! ”

At the same time, Li Ruwan slapped the wine bowl on the table and said loudly: "I, Li Ruwan, am not afraid, I have had a husband since I was a child, and I have a husband and wife...... Alas, I don't know where he is now, Spicy Mom, I miss him so much. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ruwan was a little depressed.

Qian Sanniang forgot to be ashamed, and said with concern: "Sister Ruwan, has your father-in-law not been able to find it?" ”

Li Ruwan sighed: "I've been looking for many years, but I haven't heard from me, and I don't know if I'm dead or alive." ”

Qian Sanniang was a little sad for Li Ruwan, she knew about Ruwan's sister, she and her fiancé Wei Yingsong were both from Yangzhou, and Wei Xianggong was as talented and intelligent, and he was born at the age of seventeen. But for some reason, the whole family moved to Shandong to live when they became famous.

Then when the Tartars entered the Kou and ravaged the whole territory of Shandong, Li Ruwan got the news that her father-in-law was ruined when the Tartars entered the Kou, and the whole family of 23 died unexpectedly. Wei Yingsong himself didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and he had no news.

She was worried in her heart, regardless of her family's opposition, riding two axes and two bows, and went north alone to find her husband, and it took several years to find her.

In the past few years, in addition to searching, she spent most of her time in a certain cottage, but she saved a certain village owner, and then was considered a righteous daughter, and she has been living there.

There are also dozens of riding brothers in that cottage, and the basic members are horse households, but they don't rob their homes, mainly to protect themselves in troubled times.

However, sometimes they will eat black and rush to loot nearby bandits.

Because the owner of the village is not in good health, Li Ruwan can also fight, and she has been in charge of the cottage in the past two years.

But this year, she couldn't help but start looking for a husband, there was news that she Wei Xianggong had appeared in Suyang, she was in a hurry to go south, just went around Yangzhou and other places, and there was still no news of Wei Yingsong, and she was also annoyed that her father forced her to remarry, so she went north again.

But on the way, he encountered a large number of bandits, and his two brothers were also killed in battle, but fortunately he met Jiu Ye and his party.

Qian Sanniang saved her with an arrow, and she was grateful for saving her life, so Li Ruwan planned to be Sanniang's personal guard for a period of time.

"As the saying goes, a good woman doesn't serve her second husband, I have had a husband since I was a child, and my father forced me to remarry, isn't this trapping me in injustice? My dad is a fool. ”

Li Ruwan said: "No matter what, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." But I believe that my father-in-law will not die, because he is a good man! ”

She fell into a memory: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my body has become thicker...... It's not like Sanniang, you won't get fat no matter how you eat. In that place in Yangzhou, the atmosphere is not good, and men like that kind of thin horses who can't help but be weak, every time they see me, ......"

She snorted: "Those men don't say it, thinking I don't know their minds? ”

After she snorted coldly, tenderness appeared on her face again: "Only my father-in-law doesn't dislike it, he really doesn't dislike it." He also told me that when the country is in turmoil, both men and women should rise up, and it is a good thing that if Mr. Jiaxuan is as generous as Mr. Jiaxuan, my waist is thick and strong. ”

She said: "So Sanniang, my father-in-law said this, isn't it a good man?" Shouldn't we hold on to him and find him? ”

She said: "I've been out for many years, and I've seen a lot of people, and I find that heroes and heroes are always different. Ordinary people like the kind of thin horses that can't help but be weak. And heroes and heroes like you with long legs and thick waists like me. Just like Yang Xianggong and my family's Xianggong, that is a hero and hero, Sanniang, don't you say? ”

"Hmm!" Qian Sanniang nodded vigorously, and Li Ruwan's words spoke to her heart.

Li Ruwan continued: "So Sanniang, you don't have to worry, although Yang Xianggong didn't say it, but I have seen a lot of people, and I can see at a glance that Yang Xianggong really appreciates you." Admire your legs in particular, that's what makes heroes special. ”

"Hmm!" Qian Sanniang's heart was sweet, and she nodded vigorously.

Li Ruwan poured wine for Qian Sanniang again: "Come, drink, it's rare for our sisters to be so happy." ”

The two girls picked up the wine bowl and touched it, and they all drank it with a gurgling voice, feeling more and more happy in their hearts.

Li Ruwan pursed her lips and sighed comfortably: "I like this place in Xin'anzhuang, and I plan to call my brothers here in the future to work hard together and lay a greater foundation." In the future, when I find my husband, my young couple can also live a good life, and then see if my father and mother are willing to come. ”

She looked at Qian Sanniang: "But Sanniang, don't be too frugal, spend the money you should spend, don't worry about the dowry not enough after spending money, Yang Xianggong is not that kind of person." ”

She said: "I feel that if you don't make more merits and win some battles, Yang Xianggong may prefer it instead of just some money." ”

She poured wine for Qian Sanniang again: "The money we saved ourselves, spend it happily!" ”

Qian Sanniang's heart swelled up again, it was the joy of economic independence, and there was an indescribable feeling. Just like this roasted whole sheep, she couldn't eat it no matter how hard she tried before, but now that she works hard, she can enjoy it.

There is also an indescribable freedom of body and mind, as Li Ruwan said, she also loves this place.

She raised the wine bowl and said, "Sister Ruwan is right, I respect you." ”

The two girls clinked glasses again, drank wine in large bowls, and ate meat in large pieces, all of which were extremely happy.

They also finished eating all the roasted sheep and drinking the two jars of Huadiao wine, and then they returned happy.
