Chapter 40: Fighting for Wealth

In this way, this "money girl" is his precious daughter. And the other girls are estimated to be the daughters of businessmen. A girl beside her kept holding her, making an intimate gesture, and frequently raised her head to Miss Qian.

She was caught in the middle, and she really wanted to reach out and hold her forehead. She is a person who lives again, and this bit of competition is really naΓ―ve in her eyes.

"The sixth girl is not familiar with our Yangzhou yet, right? Why don't you go out for a walk with us? ”

"Yes, why don't you go to my house for the sixth girl? My dad got a pair of black swans from the hands of the redbeard Yiren, worth a thousand taels, but they are precious, let's just go and see? ”

Miss Qian snorted coldly, pointed at the girl next to her and scolded: "Okay, you Yan Baobao, didn't you hear that I invited the sixth girl first?!" On the other hand, he looked over and said arrogantly: "What kind of broken swan dares to take it out and be embarrassed?" Let me tell you, Slender West Lake is my back garden, and there are many famous flowers and rare birds in it! ”

A group of girls followed suit: "Miss Yan, what's so beautiful about the black swan, why don't you go to the Qian family's mansion and have a long experience, what do you say?" ”

The Yan girl who was pulling her said angrily: "Okay, you guys, if you come to Qianqianqian, you won't take me seriously, right?" ”

"I saw the swan last time, it's better to ......" Song Qisheng expressed his attitude next to her, her sentence was terrible, which completely ignited the anger of Miss Yan's team. Song Yansheng was so noisy that he had a headache, stretched out his hand to pull the eight sisters, and sighed: "Listen to me, I'm just here, why don't I go and see both of the two homes?" ”

The girls calmed down a little, but in a blink of an eye they began to quarrel again: "Then the six girls will go to my house to see the swans first!" ”

"Heh, the sixth girl is a guest, where do you want to go first, why should you go to your house first?"

"We don't bother to look at the mundane things piled up by the Qian family's mountains of gold and silver!"

"What do you say! You dare to say it again! ”

"Phew, I said you are vulgar, your name is also vulgar, money money! The whole family has one word - vulgar! ”

"What about Slender West Lake, I'll build one at home tomorrow, you can wait and see!"

Song Yansheng squeezed out of the encirclement, her head was noisy, and she couldn't help but ask: ...... Didn't you say to ask me for my opinion?

This quarrel is going back and forth, who still pays attention to the six girls, in order to show off and fight for face, both sides are about to start. She turned her eyes to see Song Qisheng who was rolled up in it, and walked over a few steps to pull her out.

"Don't follow the coaxing, let them quarrel enough."

After seeing the amazing rough work of the girls, Song Yansheng stayed in the back yard for a few days and never went out. Song Xiaodu was surprised: "How can you this girl bear to live at home with me, an old man?" ”

"Grandfather, what do you say?" She pondered where the chess pieces would fall, and without raising her eyes, she said in a shy.

"I heard about it a while ago. Those who are arguing outside, but they are all the girls of Yangzhou businessmen? ”

She nodded and sighed, "It's really super powerful, I admire the eighth sister who plays with them." ”

"Got a long time?"

Song Yansheng ate one, held his chin and muttered: "If you have money, you don't bring such a dazzling thing." ”

was playing chess, and Hengbo fanned in and replied, "Girl, Miss Yan handed over the post and wants to invite you to sit in her house." ”

She looked up slightly and took a look at the post. Oh, good fellow, an invitation made of gold is just a few gemstones.

"Girl? The Yan family is still waiting by the door to reply. ”

"No, no." Song Yansheng's head began to hurt again, and after thinking about it, he said again: "It is estimated that there will be people in a while, and you will push it all, just say, just say that I am tired, and I am resting at noon." ”

After the quarrel a few days ago, the matter was not over, and these girls all wanted to pull her to be a "witness", and they came to invite her twice in three days, and it was not a way to go on like this.

Hengbo went to a cup of tea, his face stiffened, and he came back and brought her an invitation. She lazily raised her eyelids, and she didn't know how to complain. I was talking about missing a gem or something, but now this invitation is really jewelry. Song Yansheng counted the jewelry particles on it, and said expressionlessly: "The Qian family, thirty-three, is the most exquisite one made so far. ”

She didn't raise her head, threw the sticker to her, and said with a smile: "I went back to her house, and said that my eyes were blind, girl." ”

I didn't want a cross-wave fan either, and I went out with a bitter face.

"Grandfather, people have seen it, and the scenery has been appreciated, why don't we go back to Beijing."

Song Xiaodu glanced at her, touched his beard and said, "What, this is unbearable?" He played with the chess pieces, seemed to have some consideration in his heart, and said after a while: "Don't worry, let's take a look." ”

She wrinkled her bun face, thought for a while and asked, "But because of the uncle?" ”

Song Xiaodu sighed after a long time, his eyes were deep, and he said to her, "This sky in the south of the Yangtze River is about to change." ”

It's okay not to mention it, speaking of this, Song Yansheng's brows furrowed even tighter.

In the next few days, it was raining heavily, and I heard the grandmother of the big house say that the seventh girl was sick again. I invited a doctor to come over to all the pulses, saying that it was caused by cold and dampness invading the body, and it was also caused by restless thoughts.

Song Yansheng went to the blue yarn cabinet to look at her, the smell of bitter medicine in the room was strong, Song Shusheng was lying on the bed with a pale face, his energy was not high, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his eyes.

The eldest lady Feng was also there, she sat on the edge of the bed, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she didn't expect Song Yansheng to come over, so she hurriedly wiped away her tears with a few strokes of the handkerchief, and barely smiled: "It's still raining outside, why did the sixth girl come over?" ”

"I'll come and see the Seventh Sister."

Song Shusheng had a low-grade fever and looked at her in a daze with his eyelids propped up. Thinking that he recognized it, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he reached out to reach out to her.

"Good boy, the sixth girl came to see you. You ......" Feng Shi held her hand, his face was also pale, and he couldn't hold back his cry halfway through speaking, "The sound of books, the sound of books, my child, why are you so miserable." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Years of illness, what do you want your mother to do? Her hair was messy, she was crying bitterly, and her voice was choked.

The Feng family is not favored, and everyone in the house knows that the biggest reason is that she did not give birth to a child for the Song family, which is why she can't compete with Aunt Zhao. But Feng's temperament is soft, she is a temper that calms things and doesn't cause trouble, the old lady also thinks of her, and has mentioned her many times, but Feng is a person who doesn't fight or rob, she only gave birth to a daughter Song Shusheng, so she put all her thoughts on the seventh girl. It's just that the seventh girl is frail and sickly, and after all these years of treatment, no matter how many doctors she has seen, she has not been able to cure them all.

Song Yansheng touched the previous life, and her heart couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, Feng cried bitterly, so she stepped forward and comforted: "Auntie, don't cry, the seventh sister will be fine." If you are sad in front of her, she will naturally be sad too, which is not conducive to her getting better. ”

After hearing this, Feng Shi hung his head and wiped his tears indiscriminately, and looked at her with swollen eyes, as if he had met her for the first time.

"Sixth girl, you are a good boy. I know, I just can't help it. ”

"Seventh Sister...... Is this the root of the disease brought out of the womb? ”

"Yes, it's just that the onset has suddenly become more and more serious over the years." Feng Shi let out a long sigh: "I only have such a daughter as her in my life, if there is a case, I ......"

"Auntie, it's better to go back first, and I'll watch from the seventh sister's side, so that you don't have to be sad here."

"But ......"

Song Yan smiled, "You haven't been able to sleep well for a few days, maybe you wake up from sleep, and the seventh sister's illness will be cured." ”

Feng knew that she was comforting this time, but after listening to the ironing in his heart, he forced a smile and stood up, Hengbo helped her up, and after the two went out, Song Yansheng looked at the bed again.

"Seventh sister, can you hear me clearly? How do you feel now? ”

"I ...... I feel bad. Sudden cold...... Flashing hot. Song Shusheng stretched out his hand to hold her with difficulty, and cried: "Sixth sister, I didn't dare to tell my mother, I ...... I'm afraid I'm going to fail. ”

"Nonsense, how can anyone curse himself." Song Yansheng's gaze fell on the futon under her head, and asked, "How long have you had this symptom?" ”

"The year before last...... The year before it began, at night...... I always can't sleep steadily, and I often can't breathe. ”

She frowned when she heard this, and had some bad guesses in her heart, and always felt that her illness was related to the smell she had smelled that day. Suspicious, she searched the bed, but found nothing wrong. Now the smell of medicine is permeated in the house, and I can't smell the peculiar smell of that day.

"Seventh Sister ......"

Song Yansheng didn't give up, found a pair of silver scissors, turned the mattress over, and cut a small piece of fabric from the edge, she pinched this small piece with her eyebrows, her expression unpredictable.

There are girls in the house who are persevering in posting posts every day, and Song Yansheng can't hold it back, so she sneaks out of the door with Hengbo. It has rained in Yangzhou City for a few days, and it is cool outside, and there is a smell of grass after the rain, mixed with different pollen aromas.

Today, the south corner upstairs is particularly lively, and when they squeezed to the teahouse, they only saw a few sedan chairs parked below, and there were more than a dozen servants busy moving boxes up and down.

Song Yansheng was strange, and looked around, what the guests in the teahouse were looking forward to.

She and Hengbo walked to the eaves of the corner tower porch, raised their eyes, and were shocked, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other.

No wonder she came upstairs and smelled a sweet fruity aroma, my God, it was all sprinkled in the river.

There is a Yanbo River in Yangzhou City, which is naturally formed, and it is smoky when the rain falls, which is really a great beauty. Today, when I look at it, the river is half red on the shore, and when the wind blows, there is a smell of baby peaches.

The price of this baby peach is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it, but it is not worth mentioning at all for those rich salt merchants.

They sat for a while, and then they inquired about what had happened by the river a while ago.

It turned out that there was a general merchant surnamed Gao in Yangzhou, and one day he had a whim, and felt that the Yanbo River was dyed red and looked better, so he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to buy a whole boat of cherry blossoms and transport them over, and it took a few days to mash them, and then they all poured into the Yanbo River. This "feat" has been entertaining for many days, and today a salt merchant was not convinced, vowing to suppress his limelight, and let out a loud voice, saying that the Yanbo River should be full of golden to look good, and what kind of ability is it to throw some rotten fruit into it to dye.
