The capital is cool in the morning and evening, and it is still hot in the afternoon.

  After a short time, Mrs. Jiang walked into the tea house with a banana fan to block the sun, and when she saw that it was Wang Dacheng, she hurriedly saluted and smiled: "Now that the sun is coming out in the west, how can Wang Guanren be here alone?" ”

  Wang Dacheng asked her to sit down, and said with a slap on his face: "Let me ask you, who is the woman who talked to you in the shed just now?" Is she looking for a living? Why didn't you talk to her? Why? ”

  Mrs. Jiang is used to seeing the world and knows his thoughts, so she teased: "Wang Guanren fell in love at first sight? ”

  Wang Dacheng ate a broad bean and chewed it with a mouthful of fragrant aroma: "My face is like that curtain, if you want to roll it up, you can roll it up, and put it down if you want to put it down, you have a smile on your face." ”

  Mrs. Jiang didn't dare to slack off, so she said: "This woman calls her Xiao Niangzi, not long after coming to Beijing, living in the building of the original Xing family in Baijia Hutong, she is a widow, she has a brother who took the imperial examination, and a sister, four or five years old, she wants to wait for the time to use the money, she wants to find a job of the hour, and she has to take care of her younger siblings at night." I encouraged her to come to your house for half a day to be a person around her, and what she said was that her mouth was dry and her tongue was broken, but she refused to live or die, and her stubborn temper could not be pulled back. ”

  After hearing this, Wang Dacheng asked, "Why don't you want to?" She wants to take care of her younger siblings at night, and I asked her to come back at night, I'm afraid it's not the reason. ”

  Mrs. Jiang squinted at him: "Bustard loves money, sister loves pretty, I'm afraid I dislike Wang Guanren and don't have good looks." "How can she say this, just because this Wang Guanren, sparse eyebrows, mung bean eyes, low nose with thick intestines and lips, black oily skin and five short figures, but she has to sweat out of her armpits and smell of foxes, and she is a character who is hated by everyone.

  Wang Dacheng disagreed: "She earns money, and she doesn't come out to be a man, what is greedy for appearance, not to mention that since ancient times, it has been said that horses are carried by foolish men, and beautiful women often sleep with clumsy husbands, and fate is destined to have a very good to say." ”

  He added: "Unless Mrs. Xiao doesn't look for a job, but she has to come to the shed, I will definitely accept her." ”

  Mrs. Jiang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Wang Guanren is so ambitious. ”

  "No matter how good your ambition is, I need your help." Wang Dacheng took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table: "You just need to say that she is willing to come to my house, and she will give her as much as she wants, and she will come late and leave early." ”

  Mrs. Jiang didn't take the silver, but said slowly: "If the eldest lady in your house knows, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

  "I'm afraid of what she'll do!" Wang Dacheng laughed: "I still need to be the master of the affairs in the house, how dare she say anything if I say it." ”

  Jiang Pozi was still silent, and Wang Dacheng continued: "These two taels are just going to buy water and wine with you, if you can move her into my house, I will send another ten taels of silver to you." Don't be suspicious, my Wang Dacheng never speaks. ”

  Mrs. Jiang smiled at this time: "Wang Guanren just looks at it from a distance through the curtain, like a flower in the moon and water in the mirror, hazy and naturally feels beautiful, it may not be rare before it is near, you don't have to worry, while the Xiao lady has not gone far, hurry up and take a closer look, I will wait here for half an hour, if you see it and be happy, come to find me, if you don't come, I will send it myself." ”

  Wang Dacheng felt that what she said was reasonable, and he really got up to leave, but Mrs. Jiang hurriedly shouted: "Wang Guanren will pay the tea money first." ”

  Wang Dacheng threw out a tael of silver and hurried away.

  Besides, Xiao Yuan stood in the shed for a long time, although she came to inquire a lot, but none of them really made up her mind, she saw that the sun was noon, the autumn cicadas were noisy trees, and the number of old people and teeth was decreasing, so she simply got up and walked home, planning to go back to cook for Xiao Yun and Sister Rong.
