Chapter 424 Life in the World, Eating and Drinking (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The young man kept recommending so many famous bathroom pools, and of course Wang Fulin gave a reward of more than a dozen dollars, and then passed on the word and asked everyone if anyone wanted to go. Although the Danyang Shao family was well-equipped before, after all, it was very uncomfortable to live under the eaves of the opposite roof, plus two days of dust, who wouldn't be happy to enjoy it? And Lu Guangwu has been to Yangzhou before, and of course he has been to Baiyuchi near the inn, and under his description, everyone suddenly wants to go.
So, after a simple dinner, the poor Miss Ye Er, who was disguised as a man, had to stay with Yan's mother to see the house.
At this moment, Xiaobei, who was soaked in the wooden barrel, rubbed his body with bath beans angrily, but muttered in his mouth: "Why is there no bathroom for women?" I want to soak in the hot springs too! ”
"You want to soak in the hot springs, and when you marry Wang Xiaoguan in the future, let him find a hot spring in Yangzhou and build a Zhuangzi." Mother Yan didn't say anything that didn't conform to the rules and etiquette, but smashed a sentence lightly, and sure enough, Xiaobei's attention was immediately led to another direction by her.
"Then how can it be done, he worked hard to make a few dollars, paid off his debts, built a house and all failed, this time he went to Danyang and smashed down 5,000 silver, if it wasn't for Shao Fang's account to him, this deficit would have to make people miss death! Having money is not for defeat, it must be held on the blade! ”
Seeing that Xiaobei spoke eloquently, completely forgetting the frustration of not being able to go with him, Yan's mother almost couldn't help laughing. She motioned for Xiaobei to lie down on the special backrest on the edge of the tub, and moved the copper basin filled with hot water on the shelf behind her, scattering her hair. Just soak in warm water. Then apply the egg whites that you have prepared long ago to your hair. Comb it again with a comb. This was repeated several times, and a few more pots of water were changed one after another, before she smeared the flower dew and wrapped it tightly in a wide soft towel. Seeing that Xiaobei was looking back, as always, she said that Yan's mother was the best, and she couldn't help but nod on her forehead.
"Although the lord and the lady are unwilling to detain you, the second lady can't let her own temperament in everything. That is, Wang Xiaoguan, otherwise except for the old lady and the eldest lady. Who would indulge you like that? ”
"Who said he was indulging me? He's the most hateful of all, just make me happy if he's fine! ”
Xiaobei said this, and he also knew in his heart that he had been pampered by his father Hu Zongxian since he was a child, and then he arrived at the Ye family after wandering outside for less than a year, and his temperament was indulged by Mrs. Su and Ye Mingyue in a sense that he could be said to be obedient and willful, and indeed no one could accept it. When she came out of the bathtub drenched, wiped her body clean and changed into clean clothes, she didn't let Yan's mother dry her wet hair for herself, but pushed her shoulders and urged, "I'll clean up myself." Mom, you're tired, so let's go take a shower first. I'll change the water for you. ”
Yan's mother knew Xiaobei's temper, and she didn't refuse her, the two of them first poured out most of the water in the bath bucket one by one, and then easily moved this huge thing out and washed it clean, but changed the water to bathe Yan's mother. When their masters and servants were finally cleaned up, they waited there with a dry soft towel while wiping their hair, but they didn't see Wang Fulin and his party come back for a long time. In the end, Xiaobei couldn't help but want to go out to find someone to ask the time, and his face was full of anxiety.
"It's almost midnight, Mother Yan, didn't you say that the baths in Yangzhou City will be closed when they arrive, why haven't they come back?"
"Relax, don't say that there are two companions of Lu Gongzi and him, that is, the two dart masters and two old pawns next to Wang Xiaoguan, unless you really meet a large team, and you are alone, when have you ever seen him suffer?"
Xiaobei was dumbfounded by Yan's mother, but then muttered: "He also suffers a loss!" If I hadn't carried him down in the mountains that time, God knows how long he would have limped! ”
Yan's mother had never heard of this paragraph, although she was curious at the moment, she also knew that once she asked, Xiaobei would definitely talk about him left and right, and deliberately just pretended not to hear it, and let the little girl mumble there. Sure enough, she only listened to her gritted teeth and recite Wang Fulin's black history, but the concern was beyond words. I don't know how long it took, she suddenly only heard a bang, turned her head to look, only to see Xiaobei slap on the bed, and the whole person had already stood up.
"That guy himself said that he was a disaster, and he must be in trouble again, no, I have to go and see!"
"Okay, you can't go over with your hair draped, comb your hair first!"
When Xiaobei asked Yan's mother to help re-tie her hair, she took a cloak and opened the door to go out, and before she reached the courtyard gate after walking two steps, she only heard a commotion outside, among which there were clearly the voices of Wang Fulin and Lu Guangwu. She came to her senses at once, turned her head and ran towards her house.
As a result, Wang Fulin, who had just stepped into the courtyard door, saw the back of the person who was hurrying back to the room at a glance, not only that, but the two doors were slammed tightly. He only felt confused, and while muttering to himself, he walked straight forward and knocked on the door, but after knocking on the door, Yan's mother, who answered the door, put her finger on her lips, and then quietly flashed out of the door. Closed the door with her backhand, and then she said with a smile: "Seeing that it's already midnight, and you haven't come back yet, she thought you had committed the name of the disaster star again, so she almost ran out to find you just now." ”
Wang Fulin was about to answer, but he saw a clear shadow reflected on the door, obviously someone was eavesdropping. He didn't feel it, and immediately coughed lightly and said: "Dongpo layman is a layman who is originally innocent, but we are full of wind and dust, of course, after soaking for a while, it makes people rub their backs and loosen their bones and pedicures, so naturally it is delayed a lot." As a result, I was hungry again at the end of the wash, so I had to go to supper again. After all, in life, eating and drinking are ......"
Before he finished speaking, although the two doors behind Yan's mother were still closed, an angry voice came from inside: "People are still worried about what will happen to you, you just want to eat, big foodie!" ”
As soon as Wang Fulin turned around, he saw that the others had already returned to the room consciously and voluntarily, so he could only shrug his shoulders at Yan's mother, and then handed over the box in his hand. Yan's mother understood, and after taking things and entering the room and closing the door, she saw that Xiaobei was already sulking on the bed, she didn't try to persuade her, but put the box on the table, and then lifted the lid. In an instant, the aroma immediately overflowed, so that Xiaobei jumped up from the bed, his eyes widened when he saw the box, and his face suddenly showed joy.
"Count him as having a conscience!"
"It should have been bought nearby, and it was still hot, so it's hard to bother Wang Xiaoguan!"
"Of course, foodies are the best at buying things." Xiaobei didn't even use chopsticks, he directly picked up a roasted wheat with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and then immediately showed a happy expression, and even shouted to Yan's mother before he had time to swallow, "This roasted wheat is so special, Yan's mother, you can taste it!" ”
Huaiyang dim sum is a must, and I have never gone ashore when I went north from the canal to the capital before, so Yan's mother naturally tasted Huaiyang's famous spot for the first time. As soon as she tasted the siu mai, she found that there were exactly two of each color of dim sum in a box, and there were eight kinds of them, and it was obvious that even she had counted one of them. Even though she had long known that Wang Fulin was meticulous, she still couldn't help but praise herself secretly when it came to this. When the two of them swallowed all of them like a storm, she saw Xiaobei touching his stomach and said contentedly: "He really knows how to eat delicious food, but it must be Uncle Lu who leads the way, otherwise how can he touch the place when he comes to Yangzhou for the first time?" ”
Wang Fulin, who also returned to the room, didn't need to imagine what kind of expression Xiaobei would have at this time, in fact, he didn't expect that the dim sum shop recommended by Lu Guangwu would be so prosperous at this night ban, and most of the diners in it would finish the last soup in Baiyuchi and then run to eat supper. Fortunately, I didn't come back far, otherwise even if I packed a few things, I wouldn't be able to eat them when it was cold. At this moment, he lay comfortably on the bed, but did not think about what tomorrow should be, and almost fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
He slept until dawn before he woke up, and he didn't hear any roosters, or bells and drums, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the sunlight had shone into the room unscrupulously through the window paper. He rubbed his eyes, but he still didn't bother to get up like this, but lay on the bed for a long time, and then he got up and dressed. When he opened the door and stretched out of the threshold, he saw that the room was quiet on all sides, so that he unconsciously had some doubts.
Not really, right? Is it still the first to get up today?
But the next moment, he saw someone in the opposite room yawning and going out, still with a little confusion on his face, who is Xiaobei? Looking at each other, she seemed to be stunned for a long time before she recognized him, then looked up at the sky again, and the first thing she asked was: "What time is it?" ”
"How do I know!" Wang Fulin replied angrily, and then asked, "What about Mother Yan?" ”
"Not in the house." Xiaobei realized that the courtyard was a little too quiet, and immediately frowned, and hurriedly ran to knock on Lu Guangwu's door, and after a while, he frowned and turned around, "Uncle Lu is not here either." ”
Wang Fulin thought about it, and also went to the other rooms to ask, but the results were all silent. Obviously, the ones who slept until this moment were just him and Xiaobei. He didn't care, but Xiaobei felt very embarrassed. When they opened the courtyard door and went out, they found a guy to ask, and the two learned that Lu Guangwu went out with his companion early in the morning, and the rest of the people also went out of their own doors, and the most important thing is that it is almost noon now, and it is not too much to say that they are lazy to sleep until the sun rises.
Just when the two looked at each other, preparing to settle breakfast and lunch together, and then looking for someone, Yan's mother happened to come back from outside. She came over to say hello as if nothing happened, and then said: "I heard that in ten days, the Hui Gang, the Jin Gang, and the Jiangyou Gang will discuss how to buy surplus salt. ”
