Yao Huan took Yao Ruzhou and followed Shao Qing across the bridge and went south to Fushunfang.

Today's weather is really good.

It was said that it was already a great heat, but the scorching sun happened to make a large thick cloud like a felt carpet, covering it tightly.

Fushun Fang in the southeast corner of Kaifeng City, is a densely planted ancient acacia again, the locust trees on both sides of the road are luxuriant, the crown is like a giant umbrella, and the thick shade is generously projected down, further cooling the road surface.

Suddenly, on the side of the road, two Lang Ge'er dressed as pawns of the Xiangjun Army, one on the left and one on the right, guarding a well.

The well, not as narrow as the private well of a private house, but a large square piece, the length of the well was as wide as two locust trees, and there were several buckets around it, which could be used by four or five people to draw water at the same time.

Yao Huan stared at the well and glanced at it several times.

This is the "official well" drawn in the Qingming Shanghe map. In Kaifeng, a city with a population of one million, drinking water is a big problem that cannot be ignored. Although there are four rivers in the capital, including the Bianhe River and the Cai River, only the Jinshui River can be used as a source of water.

In order to ensure the safety of drinking water, the Son of Heaven specially ordered that the Jinshui River be introduced from the imperial city into the city of Kuocheng, and more than 300 wells were dug by Kaifeng Mansion in various areas of the city, and special soldiers or officials were assigned to take care of them to maintain the order of the people taking water.

Yao Huan focused on looking at the well, but his younger brother Yao Ruzhou looked at watermelons.

The main road of Fushunfang is more than 50 steps wide, and the government allows the people to do small business on both sides. This season is the time when the watermelons are ripe and the supply is sufficient, not far from the official well, the melon dealers are fishing the watermelons out of the wooden barrels filled with cold well water, waving knives to cut them, but listening to the sound of "popping" a few times, the pieces of watermelons with bright red water are full of simple wooden stalls.

The freshly killed watermelon, the pure natural sweet fragrance, is the most instructive to move.

"Brother, eat a piece of melon, five cents, after the season, Wuguan can't eat this fresh." The keen-eyed melon dealer greeted Yao Ruzhou.

After Yao Huan met Shao Qing in the morning, he followed his advice on the dispute in Yao's house, and took Xiao Ruzhou to follow him to Fushunfang, but he didn't have half a copper with him, so he had to coax his younger brother: "When we finish things, my sister will go back to the house and get the money and buy it for you to eat." ”

The melon seller didn't hear it, but still launched the second round of marketing words: "Brother is really handsome, like a fairy child on a New Year's painting, hey, it is also because the officials and ladies are good-looking that they can give birth to such a decent doll." The official also bought a piece of melon for the lady. ”

Yao Huan was suddenly embarrassed.

and secretly complained that if this is a costume drama, it will have to be a lot of stalks.

Shao Qing, who was leading the way in front and was always five or six steps away from her sister and brother, stopped when she heard the words, but when she looked back, she looked calm, reached out and took out the money bag in the silk tunic, and said to the dealer: "I want a three-petal melon." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shao Qing's words fell, Xiao Ruzhou glanced at him and said to his sister Yao Huan: "I am rich." ”

As he spoke, he took out the silver horn he got when he said goodbye to Steward Yang in the morning, pinched one out, and handed it to the melon seller: "That's my family, you sell melons, don't talk nonsense." ”

As long as the melon dealer can open a business, it doesn't matter whether the man and woman in front of him are husband and wife or the guest and host, he only responded with a smile, and saw that what Xiao Ruzhou took out was not a copper coin, and said apologetically: "Brother is really the son of a rich family, three melons are only a dozen yuan, you buy it with silver horns, how can I find it." Still, let the lieutenant general Lang of your mansion give out the money, and your mansion will add it from his medical resources. ”

When Ru Zhou heard this, he still had to turn to Shao Langzhong, who he didn't like to see very much, and he didn't advance or retreat for a while, even if he had melons to eat, his mouth was pursed.

Shao Qing smiled secretly, looking at the two sisters and brothers, one had a slightly pale face, the other pouted, each with their own cuteness.

He thought of his life experience, and then looked at the two faces in front of him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

When he was worried about the sudden fire and went to knock on the door of the Shen family's courtyard more than half a month ago, Shao Qing really didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Yao family seemed to have changed.

He thought that this feeling would slowly fade, but he didn't expect that those eyes that were no longer sad and the smile mixed with curiosity and banter always lingered in his mind.

This may be what she is, simple and lovely, like a deer on the grassland, like a on the branches of the forest, like a lively spring under the reckless green mountains.

And the way she talked to him was soft and glutinous, and taught him to feel kind, which was very different from the cold and hard life he had been accustomed to since he was a teenager.

Shao Qing gradually understood that he had missed this Yao girl in the past year, because he felt that she was very similar to himself.

And in the past half a month, he couldn't let go of her because he inexplicably felt that she could give him different strength.

Shao Qing knew for the first time that a woman made a man have such a strange and warm feeling, and taught a man to yearn more than to be weak and sad and seek protection.

So, in half a month, he slapped himself in the face.

He really wanted to keep trying, and he didn't want to give up the possibility of spending time with her just like that.

……

"Click."

Yao Huan took a bite of the melon and licked his lips that were moistened by the sweet juice.

She peeked at Shao Qing and Xiao Ruzhou, and the two of them were also concentrating on eating melons, and the little embarrassing atmosphere was temporarily lifted.

Ru Zhou seems to be wary of Shao Qing because Shao Qing corrected his "raccoon dog"?

It must be.

Children also need to save face.

Yao Huan remembered that when he was hospitalized in his previous life, the head nurse who came to get injections always complained that his son had too strong a personality.

The child was so imaginative in his writing that he was once joked by the young male head teacher, "I know every word you write, but I can't read a word when you put it together."

Unfortunately, the child locked himself in his room that day and didn't eat dinner. The next day, he refused to go to school, saying that he didn't like the male teacher, and urged his parents to transfer him.

Hey, the world is as black as a crow, and it's hard to bring ancient and modern dolls.

But Shao Qing's private school, she Yao Huan has decided, and by chance, she can save a few friendships, and the supplier who can give a 20% discount can be given by signing up, and she will not rub it in vain. Wouldn't it be nice to save tuition fees and develop a few more new dishes?

Besides, Shao Qing is a teacher and teaches people to rest assured.

Yao Huan, as an imposter eldest sister, has faintly felt that Yao Ruzhou's doll is a little cautious, and there is a bit of a thief that is not commensurate with his age.

She even felt that blessings and misfortunes depended on each other, this doll was abandoned by his mother with a bad character, maybe it was a good thing, how many bear children, the reason why the bear is not because it was reincarnated by the bear parents and got the bear tutor?

And Shao Qing, Yao Huan's intuition, is a gentle and decent ordinary person.

Although, it looks a little boring.

And what did he say in the morning, he was still alone and had no wife in his twenties?

Maybe the men who have read some books in this era still want to be named in the Jinshi and the first and gold lists, so that the face of choosing a wife will be much wider. Or there are a lot of stories about "catching people under the list".

Well, waiting for the price to sell, and not for money and murder, it's good, it's quite in line with this Shao Langzhong's always confident style,

But after a while, before the three of them finished eating the melons, they saw that on both sides of the road in Fushunfang, there were many stalls set up in Hulala, selling candied fruits, eggs, seasonal melons and vegetables, mung bean soup, and daily necessities such as cloth socks and hats.

There was also a public man in a short soap robe, who appeared with a straight face, but not to drive away, but - to collect money.

Yao Huan asked Shao Qing curiously, "What is this?" ”

Shao Qing told her: "The people from the government are here to collect the land shop fee." Fushunfang Road is wide, and the public allows vendors to set up stalls along the street to sell food and groceries. Small vendors who buy medicines, sell food and clothing are not taxed, but the floor shop fee is inevitable. ”

Yao Huan said "oh", the floor shop fee is the booth fee.

She remembered what she had been thinking about for a few nights in her heart, and asked seriously: "I am a woman, and I have no intention of fame, so I came to teach Mr. Shao jokes, but I have never been to the outer city in the south, and I have seen Taixue and Guozijian. I don't know where to go at the door, maybe there is a stall to sell food? ”

Shao Qing smiled: "Why not? Even on both sides of the royal street and in the Xianglan Temple, people are allowed to sell goods. ”

Yao Huan wanted to ask again, but saw Shao Qing suddenly get up and look at the end of the street.

"Feng Yaren is back, Yao Niangzi, Brother Ruzhou, let's go find him."
