Chapter 699: Hope
As a special festival, although it is unlikely that a big city like Nanjing will never sleep, the business hours will definitely be much longer than in the past, and in some places the lights will even be kept overnight. On the streets now, you can still see some pedestrians who return late, walking in twos and threes, and some vendors selling snacks, still waiting to do a business.
Before a stall selling Lantern Festival, Yang Chengzu and Leng Feishuang sat at a small table, waiting for the shopkeeper to bring up two bowls of Lantern Festival. Leng Feishuang took off her veil at this time, and the old vendor peeked at the two of them and secretly praised a good pair. Looking at their luxurious clothes, most of them are sons and ladies from which house, and they serve with their hearts.
Yang Chengzu casually threw a few silver beans out, sent the person away, turned his head and saw that Leng Feishuang had bitten a Lantern Festival and carefully blew the heat inside.
"The appearance of the saint eating Lantern Festival is also so good-looking, if I were that Tang Bohu, I would draw you like this, and I would definitely sell it for a lot of money. Why don't you wait for him to draw one for you when we get to Suzhou? I heard that he is very downed now, and he is willing to paint if he gives some money, and promises to paint you as beautiful as a real person. ”
Leng Feishuang glanced at him, and waited until he ate the Lantern Festival before he said, "Tang Bohu, Qiu Shizhou and others are all good at drawing fire diagrams, but they really have an appetite for you." You might as well take them as your arms, and draw a few fire-fighting pictures for each of your wives and concubines in the future, so that you are satisfied. Really, what are you pulling me out for, there are so many beauties in your family, and those ladies are all stunning. If you pull any of them out for the Metaverse Festival, they will be happy, right? ”
"That's right, whoever I bring out, they'll be happy. If I wanted to, even those mothers' beds would go up as well. But the problem is, who I brought out, she was happy, and the others were not. So take you out, and they will only be unhappy with you, and they will be at peace with each other. You don't care if they are happy or not, your relationship is not good, how bad can it be? You say yes, right? ”
Leng Feishuang resisted the urge to buckle Lantern Xiao to his head, lowered his head and concentrated on fighting with the food, deciding not to bother with this annoying ghost anymore. Yang Chengzu's side started talking to himself again
"I thought it would end early, but I didn't expect it to be tossed to this time. I didn't see the lanterns, but it doesn't matter, let's go to see the Wei Mansion later, as well as the Nanjing Imperial Palace, and the eunuch yamen. The lights in those places will be left on all night, and there will still be people watching at this time. You see, there are still people eating Lantern Festival, probably preparing to see the lanterns. ”
Unable to resist his incitement, Leng Feishuang raised his head, and sure enough, there was another pair of guests on this stall. The two of them are two years younger than themselves, and the clothes on the man's body are very shabby, with patches in a few places, and they are black and strong, and they look like they are doing rough work. The woman's eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and she seemed to be a maid of a large family.
The man thoughtfully dialed the Lantern Festival in his bowl to the girl's bowl, "Osmanthus, you told me last year that this old shopkeeper's Lantern Festival is the best." I've always remembered, no matter how late it is, I'm going to bring you to eat. Eat it, you like this one the most. ”
The maid named Osmanthus fiddled with the Lantern Festival in the bowl, "Brother Shuisheng, you treat me best." I wanted to come out early, but unfortunately, although the master went out, several young ladies and young masters were gathered around and lively, and we had to be busy as subordinates. Brother Shuisheng, don't blame me. Eat quickly, don't take care of me, I have food and drink in my uncle's mansion, but you go to do labor, it must be very hard, eat more. You have to accompany me out to shop for lights so late, and you won't be able to turn it on tomorrow. ”
The man named Shui Sheng pushed and shoved with her, "No, it's not hard, I'm ...... If you don't like to eat this, you still eat it. I'm happy to be able to accompany you out, and it's okay to work hard. Osmanthus, I have worked very hard this year, and I am also very economical, so I will save enough money for the big housekeeper, and when the time comes, we will be able to live a good life. ”
The woman smiled, lowered her head and bit the Lantern Festival, "It's still so delicious." But let's not stay outside for too long, Miss will sleep late tomorrow, I can get up later, but you have to get up early to work, I don't want to exhaust your body. Let's go see the lights and go home early, it's getting late. Brother Shuisheng, in fact, I am also saving money, but unfortunately I am just asked to go to the family to supplement my brothers' families. Dad still has to help the third brother build a house and ask for a wife, I'm really sorry...... I don't want you to work too hard, and I don't want you to be so tired that you don't know what to do when you're old. I'll be a maid for a few more years, and it's not a big deal, by the way, this Lantern Festival is delicious, you can eat a few. ”
Aquatic gobbled up the Lantern Festival in his bowl, smiled very happily, stretched out his arm and gestured, "Osmanthus, don't worry, I have strength, I can definitely feed you." I decided, early tomorrow morning, I will go to Yang Ji to see the workers, I heard that the workers there not only give more wages, as long as they do a good job, they also get bonuses. When he got old, a firm paid to support him for the rest of his life. If I work hard, you won't have to work in your uncle's mansion. Didn't you say just now that the sixth son of the uncle's family has bad intentions towards you and always moves his hands and feet, so it's better for us to leave that place of right and wrong as soon as possible. ”
"Yang Ji?" The maid also nodded and agreed, "Yang Ji is really good, it is a good place for poor people like us." The people in my uncle's family also invested in the shares, and when I delivered the food today, I heard from a few young ladies that there was a lot to be done in the future. We're going to see the lights now, and tomorrow you're going to see the worker, and when I get there, I don't have to do it in my uncle's house." That sixth young master is really necrotic, and several sisters in the house have been bullied by him, but fortunately, I am now a person in the fourth lady's room, and he doesn't dare to mess around. But when I see him, I'm always a little scared, and it's good to leave early. It would be good if Yang Ji was willing to have a girl, and the two of us would work together, and we would have a good life in the future. ”
The two left happily, and behind them, Yang Chengzu and Leng Feishuang quietly followed. With the skills of these two people, it was effortless to follow the two ordinary people, they first went to look at the lights outside the Dingguo Mansion for a long time, and then the man said something to Ai Ai, Osmanthus was quite angry, and turned to leave. But after being pulled by Shui Sheng and begging for a long time, she was no longer angry, and turned to the side of the eunuch yamen again.
Leng Feishuang's face showed a sweet smile, "Today is the most interesting for them, can I ask you for personal favors?" ”
Yang Chengzu smiled slightly, "I know, Shui Sheng, sincerity, the osmanthus in the room of the fourth lady of the Bo family, I'll just go back and say it." This kind of thing is a trivial matter, and it is nothing. Why, our holy woman is really compassionate and compassionate, even such ordinary people have to be compassionate? Wouldn't it be better for you to give them a silver ingot? ”
Leng Feishuang glanced at him, pulled up his sleeves again, said "Come with me", and left the gate of the Wei Mansion together, walking in the direction of the Qinhuai River for ten miles.
