Chapter 12 Red Lady
Zhu Shunming bought more than a dozen little girls on the outskirts of Luoyang, only paid a bag of coarse grain, and harvested a bunch of Thanksgiving.
Zhu Shunming began to integrate into this society, first adapting to the current situation of inequality for everyone.
The female dependents of the family need to be served, and the family members and soldiers need women to start a family. Although it is not urgent now, it is always good to plan ahead and prepare early.
A bunch of yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, trembling and overwhelmed girls were pulled by Ruyu to take a shower and change clothes.
Li Cuiwei's complexion is ruddy, her skin is white and tender, and her luster is overflowing, exuding the aura of happiness of a newlywed woman from the inside out, and the beauty of a woman blooming from bud to bloom.
Not long ago, she followed Li Zicheng around and saw a lot of people's suffering. Faced with countless homeless people, she was worried: "Husband, why is the world full of people who can't eat?" With so many hungry people, if someone raised their arms and shouted, wouldn't they be like a cloud? Can the imperial court suppress it? ”
"If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone," Zhu Shunming said calmly: "Let's go to Huguang to create a place where everyone has something to eat." ”
Li Cuiwei looked at Zhu Shunming with admiration, feeling that her young husband was more mature and stable than her middle-aged father, and her actions and words all reflected strong self-confidence.
The young woman's admiring gaze was fierce CY, and Zhu Shunming pulled Li Cuiwei back to the carriage......
At this time, Li Cuiwei felt that Zhu Shunming's young frizz was impatient and full of momentum.
………………
Bumpy along the official road, stop-and-go, not impatient, half a month later, the caravan arrived in Nanyang.
Along the way, there were countless hungry people on the road, several robberies, bullying the weak, changing children and other human tragedies were constantly staged.
Natural disasters, man-made disasters, official governance, and external humiliation jointly crocheted the hell on earth during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty.
Nanyang is the place of the Tang King. Like most vassal kings, the Tang kings were extravagant and extravagant, but their exploitation of the common people was not bad. Because King Tang has a restless heart.
Continue south to Shinno.
After rushing for almost a month, the brigade was a little lacking, and Zhu Shunming decided to repair it in Xinye County.
Xinye is a famous city, and its history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The most famous allusion is "burning Xinye".
Xinye is located in the center of the Nanyang Basin, with flat and fertile land, abundant water and convenient transportation, and has been a habitable place since ancient times.
A place to be habitable must be a place ravaged by soldiers. Xinye has been rebuilt several times after several wars, and by the time of Chongzhen, the scale of the county has been reduced to the point that it does not conform to its historical status.
The city is small and has a large population, and the county seat of Xinye is particularly prosperous.
Zhu Shunming's brigade camped outside the county seat, and he took his family and others into the city to play.
There are two heavens inside and outside the city.
Only in the city can we feel the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, a great country in the world, can we see the pride and calmness of the people on their faces, and can we feel the real luxury and heritage of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Cuiwei regained the vitality that a girl should have, jumping up and looking around. Occasionally looking back at Zhu Shunming, I felt his encouraging and doting eyes, and my heart was full of sweetness.
Ruyu had never seen such a bustling town.
When she was in Xixiang County, she had been staying in the countryside and had no impression of the county. Later, he followed Zhu Shunming to the north and south, and he was always panicked and nervous, and he never entered the city at all, nor did he have the mood to experience the happiness of leisure shopping and watching the bustle.
The two girls ate snacks such as maltose, rock sugar gourds, and fried beans, while lingering on vendors of various trinkets and jewelry.
Fortunately, Zhu Shunming is surrounded by people who have killed people and seen blood, and they can scare away people with bad intentions with evil spirits. Otherwise, a young and energetic cardamom girl like the two girls is the favorite of men in the Ming Dynasty, and she has already been photographed.
Under Zhu Shunming's intentional indulgence, the two girls are lively beyond the ladies of this era, and there is a youthful and energetic attraction.
"There's a monkey over there," Ruyu said in surprise: "Young master, let's go and have a look?" "I used to ask, but I had already run over by myself.
Zhu Shunming and a group of people walked over, pushed away the crowd of onlookers, and occupied a conspicuous position at the front.
Zhu Shunming didn't feel anything wrong at all. Shouldn't the leader be allowed to see first? Others dare to be angry but dare not speak.
An old man led three monkeys, constantly playing witty and amusing tricks, so that the crowd of onlookers laughed from time to time, and the two women leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, and their chests trembled.
The next "broken boulder on the chest", "iron throat lock silver gun", and "barefoot on the knife mountain" made everyone exclaim.
When a woman came out to play rope art, the crowd of onlookers suddenly erupted in enthusiastic cheers, as if they had finally waited for the feature film.
The woman was about twenty years old, wearing a red turban and a big red dress, slightly tight, outlining delicate and concave curves.
The woman is not the traditional beauty with a melon seed face and a cherry mouth, but a slightly resolute type with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.
Judging by the cheers and whistles that erupted from the crowd, she was very popular.
The woman in red tied the rope without hurry, pressed and pulled it down hard, tried the tightness, and then turned over, went up to the rope, and staggered and walked.
There was a shaking, and the woman seemed to step on the air and was about to fall off the half-foot high soft rope.
The crowd exclaimed, "Be careful", Li Cuiwei and Ruyu were so frightened that they held their breath, so nervous that their whole bodies were stiff and couldn't move.
The woman in red was about to fall, but she pulled the rope with her right hand, and her whole body drew an arc, and one turned over and stood on the rope again.
"Good ......"
The crowd erupted in cheers, and copper coins rained down on the juggling class.
A few monkeys quickly picked up the money scattered on the ground, and there were also similar gestures, which caused everyone to laugh and give more.
Zhu Shunming lost a small silver ingot of five taels.
The red-butted monkey, the biggest, picked up the silver ingot and bit it with his mouth, causing everyone to laugh out loud.
In Zhu Shunming's opinion, the performance of the woman in red is not very exciting. The onlookers are willing to appreciate it, on the one hand, because of the lack of entertainment in life, and on the other hand, because the appearance of the woman in red is very annoying.
Looking at Zhu Shunming's well-informed eyes, the outfit of the woman in red attracted his attention a little, not to mention Daming's scientific atmosphere of being ascetic and secretly indulgent.
The heroic posture of the woman in red is different from the delicate and gentle of the weak woman, and the toned and plump concave and convex figure is also different from the petite and weak of the three-inch golden lotus, which can inadvertently arouse the man's desire to conquer the most.
Zhu Shunming has no desire to conquer her, only a trace of appreciation. From her, Zhu Shunming can see the shadow of an independent and self-reliant modern woman, and see the stubbornness that does not succumb to life.
"This son," the old man who played the monkey just now smiled flatteringly, and said, "The small juggling class is not worth so much silver taels, and I ask the boy to take back the reward." ”
The woman in red on the rope glanced in the direction of Zhu Shunming, as if she was a little dissatisfied, and even more resentful, her movements increased, and she was crumbling on the soft rope.
Zhu Shunming looked young, but he was an old monster. He waved his hand casually and said, "I ...... her," he pointed to the woman in red, "...... Not interested. I saw the shadows of some people in the past from her, and I just felt something. ”
The old man smiled bitterly, and he didn't dare to accept Zhu Shunming's silver. He could see that Zhu Shunming was born in an official eunuch family, and he seemed to be peaceful, but faintly but like Mount Tai pressing eggs, and his aura was compelling.
He fell in love with the red lady, and if it was okay to be a concubine, he was afraid that he would be tempted and abandon him after playing with it.
Just when I didn't know what to do, there was chaos outside the crowd, exclaims, scoldings, screams of pain, stall vendors falling to the ground, horses' hooves, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts, leaving Zhu Shunming and others very conspicuous.
A group of people surrounded the juggling class, and a oily and powdery boy approached the woman in red with a smile and laughed: "Red lady, my second housekeeper marries a daughter-in-law, please go and play a show, how about it?" Ten taels of silver, for rice. ”
The old man hurriedly stood in front of the red lady, bowed his head and said with a smile: "Cai Gongzi, the old juggling class can't enter the stage, and you can't pollute the eyes of nobles......"
“…… The red lady is stubborn, and she has offended a lot, and the old man will make amends to you......"
Cai Gongzi smiled, shook the fan in his hand gently, pretended to be magnanimous, and said lightly: "This Gongzi won't mind." Yangzhou thin horses ride a lot, ride a fierce rouge horse, want to come to have a different taste......"
"Smack......
The soft rope in the red lady's hand made a crisp sound, revealing a pretty face from behind the old man, and shouted angrily: "Go home and ride your old lady." If you want to ride this girl, you don't have the ability to do it......"
Zhu Shunming shook his head and smiled. This girl has no brains! A big girl's house, what can't be ridden, this can also be said.
Cai Gongzi was scolded, and he was a little annoyed and angry. He is still quite personable, and he did not get mad at the red lady, but aimed the finger at Zhu Shunming.
"Boy, what are you laughing at? Do you know who this son is? Do you know who my dad is? Cai Gongzi asked angrily.
"I'll laugh at you, what's the matter? You don't know who you are, you don't even know who your dad is, and you still have a disagreement? ”
Zhu Shunming spoke indifferently, but the words he said made Cai Gongzi half angry.
Listening to Zhu Shunming's funny words, Li Cuiwei and Ruyu laughed out loud, and the red lady also held back her laughter, and her pretty face turned red.
Without waiting for Cai Gongzi to get mad, Zhu Shunming continued: "You waste, you can't even handle a woman, no wonder this woman said that you have no ability and can't ride her." There are so many of you, you have subdued her, and you can't ride it as much as you want. ”
Zhu Shunming said it explicitly, Li Cuiwei and the two daughters blushed with shame, thinking about Zhu Shunming's domineering on the bed, and lowered their heads more and more.
The red lady was even more shy, and scolded angrily: "Dengzi, there is a kind of you coming over, this girl beats you so much that you don't know who your father is......"
Saying that, she laughed out loud, obviously remembering what Zhu Shunming said before.
Cai Gongzi blushed and smiled, and said to his subordinates: "Beat me until he knows who my father is." ”
