Chapter 21 Hairpin flowers
"It was thanks to you that I got some money from the village, and I relied on this money to make this small business in Guangzhou. When www.biquge.info I left the village, I always felt that I didn't know where to go, as if I had become a lonely ghost, and no one wanted it. If it weren't for what you said to me, I might have left the village and found a place to hang myself or jump into the sea. If it weren't for the money you helped me get, I might have ended up in those little shacks right now. When I first arrived in Guangzhou, I was actually very scared, after all, a woman didn't know if she could live innocently. Just think about how much you've taught me, if I can't hold on, I'll lose all yours. It wasn't until I got a firm foothold that I realized that I was too stupid, and I should have left the ghost place of Fanjiazhuang a long time ago and came to the big city to beg for a living. People always feel that they can't do anything if they don't do it, and when they can't do it, they know that they can actually do anything. ”
The two walked side by side, walking through the snack street and turning along the city wall, and many men and women could be seen, placing baskets on the ground, selling goods to the visitors. These are people who do not want to pay the city tax, and the small market set up here is of little value, and the quality is average, but the variety of goods is varied. There are freshly caught fish, shrimp and crabs, as well as live chickens and ducks, and some are worthless small jewelry.
Some of these vendors knew Liang Pandi, and when they saw her coming, they hurriedly greeted her loudly, and brought some of the things they sold to them, Liang Pandi greeted them warmly, and after a few words of greeting, he came back to greet Fan Jin.
Fan Jin asked: "The third sister seems to be mixing well, these people are very fond of you." ”
"They didn't praise me, they just praised my brother-in-law. Coincidentally, not long after I arrived in Guangzhou, I met my second sister. You know, the four sisters in my family were matched by their father at will, and no one knew where to marry. The second sister was originally married to Fujian, but when she went to Guangzhou, she met again, and when she asked, she realized that her man was as fierce as Fan Tong, and he scolded her, and the second sister had no choice but to run away, so she ran to Guangzhou and married again. The man she was looking for this time had a good life, the man worked in the Guangzhou Mansion fast class, and he had to buy face for both the black and white ways of begging for life outside the city. Relying on my brother-in-law's care, my store was erected, and I also found Guan Qing and Gu Bai as helpers. On weekdays, when there is something in the neighborhood, I also ask me to do something, so I know more people. Although he can't make a lot of money, he is happier than Fan Zhuang, and he doesn't have to be angry. ”
She looked at Fan Jin and said with sincere gratitude: "If it weren't for Jin Zai teaching me what feminism, women's independence or something, I might still be that angry little daughter-in-law." After Xianggong died, he would be bullied, and maybe he would have committed suicide like the little seventh sister-in-law. It's not easy to do business, and if you are blind, how can you do business. Accounting and literacy are all taught by you, and I can do well in my business because of this. The neighbors are very envious of my literacy, and some people ask me to read the letters sent by my family, only I know that I can have today, all depends on you, I want to thank you well, and my aunt is not happy, so I don't go to the mold anymore. I understand that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and the aunt doesn't want us to come and go, but it's also for your own good. ”
Fan Jin said: "The third sister is too careful, my mother is just worried about my studies and doesn't want me to be distracted, and there is no prejudice." I am actually very grateful to the third sister for sending meat to my family so many times before I was allowed to fight the tooth sacrifice, otherwise there would be no meat to eat in the village. ”
"With Sister Hu here, are you afraid that there will be no meat to eat?" Liang Pandi smiled playfully, "Leave her alone in my store, don't worry?" Those of us who are outside the city are very bad, aren't we afraid that Guan Qinggu Bai will sell her, or someone will bully her? ”
"With two brothers to protect me, of course I'm relieved. I haven't seen the third sister for a long time, and I want to come and chat, but it's inconvenient to have her with me. When I was in the village, I also liked to spend more time with my third sister, and it is the same now. I really didn't expect that the third sister actually handed over such good luck, it seems that you will be able to get rich in the future. ”
Liang Pandi sneered, "I lend you auspicious words, but unfortunately there is no red envelope for you." Come, tell me, what are you doing in Guangzhou, and what can I help with? ”
When Fan Jin said the past, Liang Pandi's eyes lit up, and he reached out and touched Fan Jin's face, "Okay, Jinzai, you are really majestic, even the county master accepted you as a disciple, it's awesome." I said a long time ago, you will definitely have a great future, and by next year, maybe you will really have to call you master. Are you looking for a house to live in a provincial town? It's easy, the third sister will help you. Don't be afraid of the Hong family or anything, if they dare to trouble you, I will behead his whole family. ”
Hou Yi's instructions to Fan Jin can be regarded as Hou Shouyong's instructions, but it is not so easy to do it. Chang'an rice is expensive, it is not easy to live, why is Guangzhou City not like this? Fan Jin is bound to go home today to report the good news, and then when he enters the city, he has to consider the question of where to live.
With only more than 1,000 copper coins on his body, it is not easy to find a place to live, especially now that the county exam is approaching, and the shops are full of students who are rushing to take the exam, and if you want to find a cheap and safe place, you can only find acquaintances.
Fan Jin was touched by her, and he felt an inexplicable burst of joy in his heart, holding Liang Pandi's hand with a stick. "Third sister, there seem to be more calluses on your hands. It seems that you usually have a lot of hard work. ”
"The third sister is a hard-working person, unlike you, who is so smart and can study, and if you want to live, you have to work hard. Desperately, where can you not suffer from hardship, in Guangzhou, people starve to death every day, and it is even worse outside. I heard sailors say that there are still wars and robbers in many places, and Luo Shanman's recent murder is also a common occurrence in the county seat. Compared to them, I am already blessed, and I cannot be in the midst of bliss without knowing bliss. ”
Fan Jin shook his head and said, "I don't think so, the third sister is such a beautiful woman, she shouldn't suffer like this." There are some things that are inconvenient to do at the moment, and when I win the fame, I must let the third sister live a good life. ”
Liang Pandi is usually in the market, and it is common to fight with men, and he has seen a lot of meat and vegetarians, and he is already a very good temperament, even if he is hugged by a man, it doesn't matter. But today, his hand was held by Fan Jin, and when he heard this again, his body was inexplicably weak, and he hurriedly said:
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm so much older than you, and I'm a widow, and I say something beautiful. If you are admitted to fame, you will find a daughter from a good family to marry and be a wife, and you will not be allowed to ...... Jump the track. Let go, we're going back, it's not a matter to let the eldest sister wait there alone. ”
Fan Jin saw that she was leaving, but he didn't stop her, just said wait a minute, let go of his hand and ran to the stall, and after a while, he saw him come back with a wooden hairpin in his hand and stick it into Liang Pandi's head. "Third sister, the hairpin is for you. Although you are busy with business, you should dress up, you are so beautiful, as long as you dress up, it is guaranteed to be a flower in Guangzhou. When the time comes, your store will have to be crowded. ”
Liang Pandi dodged left and right a few times, and finally wanted to take it over and wear it himself, but Fan Jin insisted on giving Liang Pandi the hairpin to wear on his head. While wearing it, he sang in his ear: "Sister Li Feng, you are doing things poorly, you shouldn't throw the flowers on the ground, and the soldiers are busy picking them up, Sister Li Feng, come on, I'll intervene with you...... Insert this begonia flower. ”
Because the two were close, the hot breath exhaled from Fan's mouth naturally blew onto Liang Pandi's ears and neck. The woman's good-looking Danfeng eyes had been closed, her body trembled slightly, Yu Fan Jin didn't care about what she sang, and there was only one thought in her heart: Jin Zi was already so tall...... He's already an adult, a man.
