Chapter 227: Eating and Drinking

After a while, Xiao Er came to serve the dish and brought another pot of pear blossoms.

He Erniang poured wine for Mei Qingqian, "Hurry up and try it, his chef has done it before in Welcoming Guests, and his craftsmanship is very good, and the wine is also brewed by himself, which is much cheaper than the restaurant outside." ”

Mei Qingqian was also hungry after a busy morning, so she tasted a few mouthfuls of food and drank a small glass of wine.

The sake is suitable for women, and it is said to be made from pear blossoms, and the sake has a light flavor and a delicate fragrance of pear blossoms.

"Good wine, I'll buy a pot later." She had a new idea in her mind, and with the aroma of this wine, she could make a special fragrant pancreas.

"Buy, buy, sister, treat." He Erniang said coolly.

Probably because of the drinking, the two talked a lot, but He Erniang didn't ask about Mei Qingqian, but only talked about her own experience.

"My father used to be a showman, and he wasn't good at reading, and he didn't pass the exam a few times." He Erniang smiled self-deprecatingly, "But he writes well, and then he simply gave up the scientific examination, and he has nothing to write and copy books for others to live." ”

"My father and mother have a good relationship, my mother gave birth to me and I fell ill, and I couldn't have children, but my father refused to take a concubine, saying that his calligraphy would be passed on to his daughter, so I was forced by him to practice calligraphy since I was a child."

He Erniang frowned, the days of practicing calligraphy were quite boring.

"My mother, I used to be a particularly famous embroiderer on our side, before my father was admitted to Xiucai, she relied on my mother to do embroidery to make money to support the family. Then my mother also felt that her embroidery work could not be lost, and forced me to learn embroidery. ”

He Erniang's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, and her eyes were also stained with sorrow.

Later, his father once went to visit a friend, and had a few more drinks with his friend, and when he was half drunk and half awake, his friend took a new work for him to write, saying that he liked his book the most.

He drank in one go, and his friend was like a treasure, so that people framed and treasured it, and he didn't want to be three years later, his friend entered Beijing as an official and was involved in a political struggle.

So his friend was arrested and imprisoned, and He's father was also implicated in prison.

Under the political game, He's father was convicted of a felony, exiled outside the border, and his children were classified as untouchable, so He Erniang became an official prostitute.

"I was killed at the age of fifteen, my father and mother also died of illness on the way to exile, six years have passed in a blink of an eye, last year, I gambled with others, but I didn't expect that in the end I won a lot of silver, so I redeemed myself, and found a relatively peaceful town to make a living."

She should win against a literati and ink artist from a well-to-do family, or even a child of a family, otherwise she wouldn't have gambled so much. But she didn't say anything proud, obviously she didn't like the days in the Qinglou very much.

Mei Qingqian reached out and touched her hand, and said, "It doesn't matter what others say in the past, it's good to live comfortably in the future." ”

She grinned, "I'm actually not much better than you, don't look at my young age, I've been married twice." ”

"Lie to the ghost, your body is not broken, and you have been married twice." He Erniang chuckled, "I've been in the Qinglou for six years, and I still have this bit of eyesight." ”

"You, you ......" Mei Qingqian couldn't wait to find a crack to drill, how could this person see it, can't his eyes be so sharp?

He Erniang was amused by her embarrassed appearance, and filled her with wine again, "You are refreshing, I like it, I have made up your friend." ”。

"Okay, but don't talk about it." Mei Qingqian glanced at her.
