Chapter 31: Visiting the West Market
"Why did Jinxuan run to the store!" Xia Jizu asked kindly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'm here to deliver something to my father." Wang Jinxuan said softly.
"Well, I didn't fall and hurt myself!" Xia Jizu continued to ask.
"No, besides, the little brother has already apologized, so I will forgive him!" Wang Jinxuan said with some solemnity.
"It's okay, you can go in quickly!" Xia Jizu let the little girl in.
Before entering the door, Wang Jinxuan didn't forget to look back at Xia Yuanding, who bumped into him, and blinked and blinked with big eyes, wanting to remember someone's guilty face.
Xia Yuanding scratched his head and pretended not to care and said, "Dad, third uncle, let's leave quickly, otherwise it will be dark!" ”
"Yes, yes, hurry up and go shopping, then Dad, we're leaving!" Xia Shouli wanted Xia Jizu to say goodbye, and walked out with his two sons.
As soon as they came out of the inn, Xia Yuanchu and Xia Yuanjie hurriedly broke away from their father's big hand to catch up with Xia Yuanding's pace, but at this time, Xia Yuanding was not suitable to be a leading party, everything in the city was strange to him, he was a wanderer, where he was interested, and in the end he didn't know where to go.
"Is there anything fun in this town?" Xia Yuanding thought about this problem while walking, but then he was tragic, it seems that at this time, the entertainment life is quite backward.
Guan Zhong once said: "Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing." ”
If you can only see and can't move, how sad it is to see the food but someone else is eating it, Xia Yuanding is at the point of being worthless at this moment.
"Yuan Ding, don't run around, follow next to Dad!" Xia Shouzhi was afraid that his son would run away, so he hurriedly called to his side.
"Got it!" Xia Yuanding knew that he couldn't run around, and he didn't know where to go. In fact, he really wanted to visit the county government to see what it looked like, but he also knew that this was unrealistic, and there was no scenic spot after all.
"Let's go to the West Market first, I'm going to buy something!" The third uncle spoke.
"I'll see what I want to buy, too."
From the clothing of the pedestrians on the road, you can still clearly distinguish the identities of all kinds of people. Occasionally, Xia Yuanding could also see a good-looking woman, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Xia Yuanding could swear that he had no intention of coveting other people's beauty, he was just interested in their gorgeous clothes, which he had never seen in the countryside.
Their collars were either cross-collared or straight-collared, with wide and long cuffs and rounded cuffs. The patterns on the clothes are also very interesting, printed with patterns such as "abundant grains" and "icing on the cake". Adult women's hair is tied in a bun and fastened with a flute. Some women also wear sachets embroidered with green lotus holding red lotus, and colorful fish underneath.
Not to mention here, a few people came to the West Market, and finally saw a forest of shops, and there were also stalls set up on the side of the road, and the sound of bargaining gradually became heard.
"Dad, there's juggling!" In the place surrounded by the crowd, there were unfortunate juggling artists performing, and Xia Yuanchu had to go to see it alive or dead.
"Yuan Ding, aren't you going to take a look?" Xia Shouzhi saw that his son was indifferent to this juggling, and obviously didn't want to watch it, but he still had to ask, because he liked this very much and wanted to join in the fun.
"I don't want to see it!" Xia Yuanding replied.
In this regard, Xia Shouzhi said with some puzzlement: "Such a wonderful performance, why don't you want to watch it!" ”
"Dad, if you want to see it, go and see it yourself, I'll be alone, I won't get lost!"
"That's not good, you want to go there, dad will take you there!"
Xia Yuanding thought for a while, pointed with his hand, and said slowly: "Is it okay there?" ”
Following the direction of his son's finger, Xia Shouzhi saw an eye-catching building, and then his face changed, he had only passed by this place before, and he also knew his own catties, so he didn't dare to go in and take a look.
That's right, the four-story building is the tallest building in the entire West City, and at a glance, the carved railings and paintings give people a high-end atmosphere and high-grade feeling.
"Yuan Ding, are you hungry, we can't eat in that place, let's go back to the inn and eat again, the food in Juxian Building is very expensive!" Although he said it tactfully, Xia Shouzhi made up his mind that even if his son cried for his father and called his mother, he would never take his son to such a place.
Eat, eat, eat, am I a foodie, I am already full, how can I be hungry so quickly.
"This building is so high, I want to see it!" Xia Yuanding said with great feelings.
"Just to check it out?" Xia Shouzhi looked at Juxian Building, a little talking to himself.
Without waiting for Xia Shouzhi to react, Xia Yuanding had already strode towards Juxian Tower, making Xia Shouzhi always very passive, he suddenly seemed to have lost the authority of the head of the family, and the development of things was completely out of his control.
"Third brother, let's go to Juxian Building first, if you want to buy something, go first, don't wait for us!" Xia Shouzhi hurriedly said a few words to the third brother, and then hurriedly chased after his son.
"Hey, wait, Yuan Chu, did you hear clearly where your fourth uncle said just now?" Xia Shouli was very suspicious of his ears and asked about Yuan Chulai.
"Dad, go to Juxian Building, I can hear it clearly, where is Juxian Building, is it a restaurant?"
"This, it should be!" After hearing that he was going to Juxian Building, Xia Shouli was stunned, but he heard that it was okay to spend one or two taels of silver for a meal there, why did the fourth brother go there.
It can't be eating, Xia Shouli first ruled out this possibility, several of their brothers, who have used the same urinal, they all know each other what kind of person they are, the fourth child is sometimes more picky than him, and it is impossible to eat and drink without bringing himself.
In fact, although Xia Yuanding is not rich in five cars, but he has not learned in vain, and he has seen some couplets before, like "how elegant the color, fragrance, shape, and taste; Cooking and steaming are all strange", "Wine and food welcome friends; Famous buildings and elegant seats to be friends", but at first glance, the couples are not bad, enough to cope with the taste of the guests, there is no chance to show it!
Of course, Xia Yuanding never intended to use words to show off, after all, it was not himself, what was there to be proud of. Pretending to be forced by yourself can be refreshing for a while, but the realm has fallen down, how can you quietly watch others pretend to be forced on the side, and you know everything but don't say a word.
But when he entered the hall on the first floor of Juxian Building and stood quietly, Xiao Er completely treated him as air, Xia Yuanding felt that he was being despised by others.
Standing here alone, the little two can't say "Xiaotong, are you thirsty or hungry", but turned a blind eye to his intrusion.
It seems that he is short and still has no sense of existence, Xia Yuanding looked at the stairs leading to the second floor, and walked silently, without anyone stopping him.
The guests on the second floor are relatively few, but it is still very lively, there is a special storyteller here, here to talk about romance, legends, myths, ghosts, recklessness, rivers and lakes, applause is one after another.
"It is said that Allah ascended the throne of the dragon, but he changed the name of the year to Longxing. It is really smooth wind and rain, the country and the people are safe, the Quartet is quiet, the people are gracious, and the people enjoy peace for three years. Suddenly, one day, the Son of Heaven was approaching the dynasty, and hundreds of civil and military officials stood in shifts, and there were Huangmen officials who said, "Your Majesty, there are envoys from the north who want to see Your Majesty, and now they are waiting for the decree outside the noon gate." He said, "Now that you have a foreign envoy, come up to the palace to see the widow." ’……”
When Xia Yuanding heard it, this storyteller was openly discussing state affairs, and the speech of the Daning Dynasty was really free, but he didn't know which emperor he was talking about, presumably it should not be the saint of today, and the royal family should still avoid it.
No one paid attention to him on the second floor, Xia Yuanding was a little disappointed, looking at the tables full of wine and meat, Xia Yuanding subconsciously touched his pocket, empty in, forget it, go up to the third floor to see the scenery, don't go to the fourth floor, save one more staircase when you go downstairs.
"Stop!" When Xia Yuanding was about to climb up, someone shouted at him to stop, and when he heard this voice, Xia Yuanding was overjoyed and was discovered, this feeling is quite good.
"I guess there will be a distinguished guest upstairs, don't let people go upstairs, right?" Xia Yuanding said first.
The other side stopped talking, and just stood there quietly, a little surprised, and then returned to a cold expression, thinking that you had finished speaking, and knew that you would come up.
Xia Yuanding also realized that he knew too much, and began to adjust his words, so as to make the other party stunned.
The strange thing is that Xia Shouzhi, who has been following behind, why did he walk so slowly, and he hasn't caught up until now, so he just didn't come in if he was guarding the door. If this is the case, his father also used such a nasty trick in order not to pay for the meal.
