Chapter Eighty-Eight: Towns
The road began to divide into two parts, and Chen Wen noticed that the road through which the ox cart passed was no longer a dirt road, but a clean stone road.
Looking back, there is no dirt road to be seen.
Chen Wen's eyes lit up, suppressed his excitement, and asked Zheng Jiang: "From here, have you entered the town?" ”
"Not yet." Zheng Jiang pointed to the city gate not far away: "However, it's soon." ”
Chen Wen raised his eyes and saw the broken city gate at a glance, which was not the same as the city gate he saw on TV, and frowned.
Town?
This is also a better road, and the surrounding buildings are not as good as Zhenglin Village.
Chen Wen's anticipation was shattered in an instant.
When the ox cart arrived at the gate of the city, it stopped, Liu Yangmu jumped out of the car, and even Zheng Jiang got out of the car, and Chen Wen watched them get out of the car with an inexplicable expression.
Although I don't know why they got out of the car, Chen Wen immediately jumped out of the car, and it was always right to learn from them if he didn't understand.
Zheng Jiang saw that Chen Wen got out of the car with them, and was afraid that Chen Wen would not understand, so he explained to her: "You are not allowed to ride a horse or drive a carriage on the street, for fear of rampage and an accident, you have to walk." ”
Chen Wen listened carefully and nodded: "Oh......"
Liu Yangmu looked at Chen Wen's docile and obedient appearance, pulled the corners of his mouth and said to Zheng Jiang: "Before sunset, we will meet here." ”
"Okay, you can get busy."
Liu Yangmu bowed his head to Zheng Jiang's chin, while Chen Wen smiled brightly, waved at him, and then looked at his back as he drifted away, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
"Sunset ......"
"Sunset, that's not a hurry." Zheng Jiang looked up at the position of the sun, smiled and said to Chen Wen, "Hungry, right?" ”
Chen Wen touched his empty stomach and nodded.
"Aunt Jiang, please eat something delicious." Zheng Jiang took Chen Wen's hand and walked forward, saying as he walked: "There is a shop that sells wontons under the banyan tree in Xicheng, but it is delicious." ”
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang, for letting you break the bank."
"This kid ......" Zheng Jiang put his arm next to Chen Wen's small arm: "Auntie, please eat more, see you don't have any meat." ”
"Okay."
Chen Wen walked behind Zheng Jiang, looking left and right, observing the shops on the street and the hurried pedestrians.
The area of the shops is quite small, most of them sell a variety of shops, the most are shops that sell food, and it took a long time to walk past a store that sells clothes, and then there is no more.
Chen Wen looked through the wide open door of the house and saw that the clothes inside were neatly arranged, and they were the same as the people in the village had worn before.
This town was far worse than what Chen Wen had imagined in her mind, but it still couldn't resist her curiosity about everything.
Even when I saw one or two people walking quickly with their heads down, I was also curious to think, why is it so urgent and walking so fast.
However, it is worth mentioning that the pedestrians are much better dressed than the people in the village, and they rarely wear clothes with patches, and their complexions are more ruddy.
The people should not worry about food and clothing.
Chen Wenshu didn't know that her appearance fell in the eyes of Zheng Jiang's family, that is, a countryman entering the city, curious about everything.
"At noon, the sun was very strong and there were few people. The cooler it is at night, the more people there are. And I heard that the master of the Wang family invited a troupe to come last time, and the babbling at night was very lively. Speaking of this, Zheng Jiang sighed regretfully: "If you don't have to rush back before sunset, I'll take you to listen." ”
Chen Wen didn't reply, and Zheng Jiang asked, "Haven't you heard of it?" ”
Chen Wen thought for a moment and nodded.
However, she had heard it, it was when she was a child and her grandmother listened to it, and she couldn't remember it for a long time.
When I grew up, I was busy with my studies and career, so I didn't have time to listen to these pastimes.
As the two talked, they walked under a banyan tree, and there were several stalls under the banyan tree, and Zheng Jiang pulled Chen Wen to sit down and ordered two bowls of wontons.
On the wooden tabletop, a few banyan whiskers fell, Chen Wen picked them up and rubbed them.
Zheng Jiang raised his chin and said to Chen Wen, "After eating, let's go there to buy cloth." ”
Chen Wen turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a large-scale cloth shop behind him.
"I didn't go back to buy it there, the shopkeeper has a little friendship with me, and it will be cheaper then." After speaking, he asked Chen Wen: "Do you want to buy a few horses?" ”
"Huh?" Chen Wen's eyes widened in surprise and admitted: "Well, I also want to buy a few horses to see what materials are good for winter clothes." ”
"Preparing winter coats so early?"
"Is it early?" Chen Wen sniffed, feeling that it was not too early.
Before, she was cold every time she got up early, and since then, she has begun to want to prepare winter clothes, and then start raising silkworms and making silk.
It's not early, time flies, and winter will come soon.
Zheng Jiang looked at the place where the banyan tree couldn't be shaded, the sun was very hot, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's not early, it's not early." ”
Chen Wen, who got a satisfactory answer, couldn't help but smile slightly.
The wontons were served quickly, Chen Wen lowered his eyes and looked at the dumplings with thin skin and thick filling in the bowl, smiled and thought to himself, it was real.
Scooped one and was about to put it in her mouth, when suddenly a woman squeezed into the chair she was sitting on and shared a bench with her.
The strong smell of rouge gouache rushed straight into Chen Wen's nose, Chen Wen immediately covered her nose, she wanted to sneeze but couldn't.
Chen Wen turned his head to look at the woman who was squeezing her position.
A young and beautiful woman, dressed in a very ...... way Vulgar.
Chen Wen glanced at it, then lowered his head and continued to eat the wontons he hadn't eaten just now.
She confirmed that she did not know the woman.
And this woman's eyes did not fall on her, she should know Zheng Jiang's family.
Sure enough, the woman said to Zheng Jiang, "Why is my aunt here?" If you don't go back and sit down, what kind of wontons are you going to eat here? ”
Zheng Jiang's laughter was suppressed, and the white eyes were about to turn to the sky, and he didn't want to deal with her at all.
The woman didn't know what her face was, so she moved to Chen Wen: "Junjun has been thinking about you." ”
Chen Wen kept his head down and ate the ravioli.
This wonton is really delicious, I can't stop eating it, and after I don't know how many I ate, I felt the woman move, and she also moved to the side, I really couldn't stand the smell on her body.
The woman lost face at Zheng Jiang's place, so she turned her eyes to Chen Wen: "Which child of your mother-in-law's family is this?" ”
No one answered, the smile on the woman's face couldn't be contained, and she couldn't help poking Chen Wen's hand, not sure of the identity of this little girl, and didn't dare to shake her face.
"What is your relationship with my aunt?"
Chen Wen shook his head, swallowed the wonton in his mouth, and replied politely: "It's okay." ”
"Doesn't matter?"
"Well, it doesn't matter." Chen Wen took the bowl again and moved it to the side.
Since it didn't matter, the woman stopped talking to Chen Wen, but finally said to Zheng Jiang: "Aunt can come to my house to sit when she is free." ”
"Hmm."
The woman carried her skirt and left, and Zheng Jiang took a sip, startling Chen Wen.
"The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, but he didn't have a good heart."
"What's wrong?"
Zheng Jiang raised it in one breath, and then saw Chen Wen staring at him with wide eyes, a look of curiosity, and half of his anger disappeared.
I came out to buy it today, so I should be happy, and I can't let this kind of person ruin my good mood.
Zheng Jiang rubbed Chen Wen's hair: "It's okay, you eat yours." ”
"......" she was a little curious.
