Chapter 59: It's amazing to fly
A place like a market is often mixed, and there are people from all religions and nine streams, even if Cheng Caixi sometimes passes by during the day, it is not as lively as at night. All kinds of goods are dazzling, and people with different identities and statuses pass through the streets, as if they can see all kinds of life here, which makes Cheng Caixi feel fresh.
Tang An followed behind like a little follower, still holding the uneaten food in his hand, filling his mouth as he walked, secretly complaining in his heart. Shopping with women, isn't Lao Tzu looking for trouble? It's been a long time since I shopped, but the eldest lady is still full of interest and doesn't want to leave.
"Clay figurines! Ten dollars for a clay figure, beautiful and exquisite, Tong Suo is not bullied! β
A hawker with a surprisingly good voice was selling, which immediately attracted Cheng Caixi's idea. Ran to the stall, only to see a wooden box with more than a dozen colorful clay figures, some animals, some people, the craftsmanship is very exquisite, all colorful, vivid, let Cheng Caixi like it from the bottom of his heart.
"Tang An, get me one." Cheng Caixi said.
The vendor who made the clay figurines didn't look very old, but he looked at Cheng Caixi for a while, saw that she was well-dressed, and her face was innocent, it seemed that she was a good deceitful gold owner, and hurriedly smiled: "Miss really has a vision, my clay figurines are the hottest in the whole street, and the price is fair, only 20 yuan a piece." β
Tang An saw the meaning of the peddler at a glance, and said, "How much?" β
The peddler was glared at by his sharp eyes, and said with a little weakness: "Twenty or twenty yuan, I won't sell it if it is less!" β
Cheng Caixi was a little anxious, and the twenty yuan was like a floating cloud in her eyes, and she quietly gave Tang An a look.
Tang An turned a blind eye, pinched a clay figure in his hand, and said with a smile: "Such a good-looking clay figure, isn't it too cheap to ask for twenty yuan?" I don't think it's as good as fifty wen a piece, so as to ensure that your business is prosperous. How about I help you sell a few times? I still have a good voice. β
Fifty dollars for a clay man, it's strange that he doesn't become a profiteer that everyone shouts and beats. The peddler knew that he had encountered a hard stubble, and resigned himself to his fate: "Alas, count me unluckyβten cents a piece." β
Tang An shook his head still dissatisfied, and said, "I'm going to shout - cough cough!" β
"Slow! Can't I send you yet? The peddler said with a bitter face.
"What's so embarrassing about that? Hey, this rabbit is also well pinched. Tang An picked up a clay figure again, and said with a smile: "Miss, let's go." β
Holding the loot in his hand and playing with it, Cheng Caixi looked happy and couldn't say how much he liked it. But thinking about Tang An's performance just now, he was a little displeased, and said, "Tang An, how can you not give money when you buy something?" β
This girl is really used to living a good life, and she doesn't know the hardships of the people.
"Miss, I don't care about the ten cents, but about justice." Tang Andao said, "That little guy sits on the ground and starts the price, if he succeeds this time, he will cheat others next time." The peddler thinks that the silver is so easy to make money, and he will try his best to think of some shady means, which may gradually turn into a violation of the law. Sometimes people who commit great evils start by doing some inconspicuous bad deeds, so I think that catching people like you is not helping people, but teaching people is to cross people. β
Of course, Cheng Caixi wouldn't think about it so much, and when he heard Tang An say this, he didn't feel that he should promote this kind of atmosphere. Said: "Tang An, how did you think of this?" β
Tang An said: "Actually, these things are not difficult to imagine, it's just that the eldest lady has been from a wealthy family since you were a child, so you can't think of the life of us low-level people." People live in different circumstances, and the things they consider are naturally different. β
Cheng Caixi nodded, and she didn't know if she really understood.
After shopping for a long time, Tang An felt physically and mentally exhausted. Secretly sighing that Lao Tzu is really cheap, what he does not do well, and he wants to accompany women to go shopping. Fortunately, Cheng Caihe was chosen at the beginning, otherwise I don't know how much persecution I would have suffered.
Perhaps tired of shopping, Cheng Caixi finally went to a stone bench under a big tree and sat down, which made Tang An also breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking up at the starry sky, Cheng Caixi looked satisfied and reminiscent, and muttered: "Tang An, do you know that this is the most relaxing night I have felt since I was a child." I could play carefree as if nothing had anything to do with me, seeing so much fun and eating so many delicious snacks. It would be nice if it could always be like this. β
The eldest lady has a heart to heart with me? There won't be any conspiracy!
Frightened by Cheng Caixi's capriciousness, Tang An's face was full of caution. But looking at her looking up at the night sky with a deep face, there seemed to be no trickery.
Somehow, listening to the always strong female bandit showing such a childlike side, Tang An was a little speechless, and his heart was full of sympathy for this seemingly glamorous rich daughter.
With the aura of Cheng Yunhe's daughter, her life department knows how many people envy her. Many people will think that she has no worries about food and clothing, and lives a rich life, as if she doesn't know what to worry about. But if you think about it carefully, the children of these rich and noble families are also like caged birds, while gaining a lot, they also lose more.
They don't have childhood memories of setting off firecrackers with their friends, let alone playing with mud, jumping rope, or playing games in the alleys. can only be instilled with some rich family etiquette, telling them how to become superior and carry forward the lintel.
Cheng Caixi lost her mother since she was a child, and she has no maternal love since she was a child. Her father regarded her as the pearl of his palm, not only afraid that she would be instigated, but also worried about her safety, which made it difficult for her to touch the various states of life from childhood to adulthood. It's a good thing not to get in touch with the ugly side of the world, but it also disconnects them from reality, so Cheng Caixi feels so fresh when he sees all this tonight.
Life is like a play, no matter how full and mellow the characters feel by the people watching the play, but the real bitterness, joy, sorrow and joy can only be experienced by those in the play.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Cheng Caixi said again: "Tang An, although I don't like you, but in my heart, you are talented and knowledgeable, why would you be willing to come to my Cheng family to be a subordinate?" β
This woman, sometimes as sharp as an unsheathed sword, and sometimes asking such technical questions, is really unpredictable.
Tang An sighed and said, "Miss, when a person is about to die, someone gives him a life-saving straw, will you be full of gratitude?" β
"Of course it will, Zhi's grace should be reciprocated." Cheng Caixi said.
"For me, the eldest young master is the straw." Tang An smiled and said, "I remember when I was in Xingxing Alley, I was still a beggar with no clothes and no food, if it weren't for the eldest young master, I don't know if I would have survived until now." The Cheng family has been kind to me, and I naturally want to repay it. β
Hearing that what he said didn't seem to be fake, Cheng Caixi said again: "I'm very strange, how did you fall into such a field? β
Tang An smiled bitterly: "Some things are difficult to explain clearly, ups and downs are called life, fortunately, I am still alive." β
Cheng Caixi pouted noncommittally, this Tang An not only answered the question positively, but also took a bite of life, how old is he?
Seeing him prevaricating himself, Cheng Caixi didn't bother to ask. The two of them sat under the tree, enjoying a moment of peace, each thinking about his own thoughts. One is touching the scene, and the other is reminiscent of the question.
I don't know how long it took, Cheng Caixi said quietly: "Let's go, let's go back." β
"Where to go?" Tang An didn't come back to his senses yet, and asked.
Cheng Caixi glanced at him and said, "Where else can I go, of course I go home!" β
Tang An reacted at this time, and this little girl was finally moved by Lao Tzu's sincerity. The gold-lettered signboard of the Holy Hand of the Flower Bush is really not covered!
Seeing that this dominatrix seems to be in a good mood, I wonder if she will look at the face of herself who has worked hard to accompany her all night, and return the fifty taels of silver to herself?
Tang An's eyes rolled, and he asked as if he was transitioning: "Miss, can you be reimbursed for the money spent on eating and shopping today?" β
"What is 'reimbursement'?" Cheng Caixi blinked, looking confused.
Tang An smiled and said, "Oh, it's counted as public expense." After all, it's to accompany the eldest lady, don't you eat? β
Cheng Caixi said angrily: "You think beautifully! Didn't you eat it? You stingy ghost, how many taels of silver did you spend in total? β
Seeing that she turned her face and didn't admit it, Tang An's face also pulled down, and said: "Miss, I can't say anything, I only spent money to find you, I am a little scholar, with a meager income, I do my best for the Cheng family, and... Hey, don't go! And the fifty taels of silver! β
Tang An was talking, but saw Cheng Caixi stand up, jumped and disappeared, and Cheng Caixi's voice faintly flew in the sky: "I'm tired, go back by yourself!" β
Fly again, talk about money like this, this rich man who picks the door! I've seen someone who picks the door, but I've never seen someone like this!
Tang An jumped three feet high angrily and shouted at the empty night sky: "Damn, you can fly!" β
