Chapter Eighty-Five: Singing Father and Daughter
"How can they speak for us?" Liu Xuan asked puzzled.
"Because you have that ten pennies? Without these ten cents, do you think they will speak for us in vain? They also hope that the more people who go to Autumn Wind Break, the better, so that they can earn ten more cents for each person they pull. Ten people is 100 yuan, and the more people who come to our restaurant, the more income they will make. So, they will speak for us! ”
Liu Xuan finally understood, it turned out that these ten cents had such a big effect.
In the middle of the meal, I suddenly heard a guest at the table say loudly: "No, no, let's go!" ”
Li Tao looked at it, and it turned out to be a father and daughter who were singing. I saw that the father was about the same age as Liu Xuan, wearing a bucket-like bandana, a wide linen shirt with soap along the edge, a brown luan belt around his waist, silk shoes and socks underneath, a long white beard, and an erhu in his hand. The daughter is about 20 years old, with a round goose egg face, black eyes, red cheeks, skin like jade, beautiful eyes, and an indescribable charm between a smile and a smile.
The father and daughter walked from the adjacent table to Li Tao's table, and the old man was just about to speak, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Tao. His gaze flickered suddenly, and he looked at it carefully.
Pei Yue frowned on the side: Could it be that this old man saw what clues the little master had?
Li Tao didn't care, he smiled and asked, "This old man, do you recognize it?" ”
The old man came to his senses at this time, and he hurriedly raised his hand and hugged his fist and said: "Xiao Langjun, don't be strange, it's the little old man who is abrupt!" ”
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and praised: "Little Lao'er has been watching people's faces for decades in his life, but he has never seen you like a dragon-shaped phoenix and a blessed star and longevity. The heavenly court is full, the earth is wide and round, the hall is shining, the nose is square, the jade tree is in the wind, and the atmosphere is magnificent, it is really expensive! Dare to ask Xiao Langjun if he was born in a rich and noble family? ”
Li Tao and Pei Yue glanced at each other, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm afraid you've lost your eyes, you were just born in an ordinary peasant family, how can you be rich?" ”
"Born in an ordinary peasant family? That's impossible! The old man looked at it carefully for a while, shook his head categorically, and said: "Little Lao'er will never be mistaken, even if you are really born in an ordinary peasant family, you will definitely be rich and prosperous in the future!" ”
Li Tao asked with interest: "Uncle, are you a fortune teller?" ”
The old man shook his head and said, "The little old man's name is Zhang Lingfeng, he used to be a fortune teller, and now he makes a living by singing!" This is Zhao Yuting, the righteous daughter of Xiao Lao'er. Otherwise, our father and daughter will wait for Xiao Langjun for a while, and the singing is not good, please bear with me. ”
Liu Zhiren was quite impatient, and raised his hand to let the two leave.
Li Tao suddenly asked on the side, "What do you father and daughter both sing?" ”
Zhang Lingfeng bent down and replied: "Back to Xiaolangjun's words, poems, lyrics, songs, tunes, and local operas will be sung!" ”
"Can you keep a score?"
Zhang Lingfeng nodded and said, "I know how to memorize the ruler!" ”
"You're not from the eldest son county, are you? How did you end up here? Li Tao seems to be quite interested in this father and daughter.
Zhang Lingfeng was unusually polite to Li Tao: "Back to Xiaolangjun's words, our father and daughter ......"
Li Tao waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Lingfeng's words, and said warmly: "If Uncle Zhang doesn't dislike it, let's sit with Mrs. Zhao, let's talk while eating!" ”
"Thank you, Xiao Langjun!" Zhang Lingfeng was also polite, and led Zhao Yuting to sit at the table.
It turned out that Zhang Lingfeng's daughter-in-law Zhao Yuting was from Yizhou. His father was the lieutenant of Zhongfu Zhichong, who went out with the army to Tubo and died on the way, and the Zhao family has declined since then. When her father died in the army, Zhao Yuting was still in infancy and was fostered at her grandmother's house, and later her mother also died of illness.
At the beginning, Zhao Yuting still had her grandfather's family to rely on, but her grandfather's family was weak and scarce, and she had to worry about life in the morning and evening, and Zhao Yuting was also a burden on their lives. Because of her helplessness, Zhao Yuting wanted to commit suicide several times and leave this world of suffering. The taste of being young and poor makes this innocent and bright girl have more ** and scheming than ordinary women.
This time, a wandering merchant set up a stall in front of Zhao Yuting's house, and Zhao Yuting had nothing to do, so he watched the excitement on the side.
This wandering merchant is none other than Zhang Lingfeng.
Zhang Lingfeng used to be a fortune teller, he is well-informed, he can talk to people when he sees people, he can talk nonsense when he sees ghosts, no matter who he is, he can talk to him. Zhang Lingfeng has an excellent surname, he can chat with people who buy all kinds of things while selling goods, and when the things are sold, he also writes them down. As long as you are lucky enough to meet next time, you will be a mature person.
After Zhang Lingfeng saw Zhao Yuting, he was immediately attracted by the little girl's beauty. He thought to himself: I have traveled all over Yizhou, I have read countless people, but I have never seen a lady more beautiful than the little girl in front of me. Therefore, although Zhang Lingfeng was a lot older, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at Zhao Yuting. Zhao Yuting was a little embarrassed, and asked angrily: "What are you doing!" Why do you keep looking at me? ”
Zhang Lingfeng said: "I don't have bad intentions, just because your character is expensive. I have read countless people, but I have never met such a beautiful and noble face as you. ”
Zhao Yuting thought that Zhang Lingfeng was ridiculing herself, and said a little lonely: "I am a very poor person, I have eaten the last meal and the next meal, and I don't even have a life, how expensive is it!" ”
"A beauty like you, are you still worried about having no clothes to wear and no food to eat?" Zhang Lingfeng asked rhetorically.
Zhao Yuting replied: "Why are you still talking like this, why do you have to make fun of me?" ”
"I'm also a poor man, how can I laugh at you?" Zhang Lingfeng argued.
"Then why are you saying such a thing?"
Zhang Lingfeng saw that the little girl in front of him was innocent and straightforward, and a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind, investing in this little beauty and gambling, maybe he could make a lot of money.
Although Zhang Lingfeng is a merchant, he has a unique vision, he wants to invest in this little girl, and make an investment that seems to be difficult to get a return.
Zhang Lingfeng is a smart person, and he is ready to do a crazy thing: a beautiful woman becomes a concubine.
With this kind of thought, Zhang Lingfeng told Zhao Yuting that he had a way to make Zhao Yuting rich and expensive in the future, and she couldn't eat or wear everything.
Zhao Yuting thought that Zhang Lingfeng was deceiving people and didn't want to deal with him.
"What I said is true." Zhang Lingfeng said seriously, "As long as you can listen to me, endure humiliation for the time being, and endure some hardship, I guarantee that you will definitely be able to enjoy glory and wealth in the future." ”
