Pick-up in the rain
"This chicken is mine, the little lady can change it if she wants to. A defeated chicken, I don't know what the use of the little lady is replaced? The stew is not even a few taels of meat. "The owner of this chicken is a rough man, and he is very smug in his gestures, and he acts neatly.
A group of people all looked directly at Li Pian'er and the big man, and the big man's questions were also curious about them. Li Pian'er raised her hand and stroked its smooth chicken feathers, and the corners of her lips outlined a sly smile: "It looks too similar to the big rooster in my house, it is simply a mother's womb, and it is just right to recognize him when I take it home." ”
"The little lady is really elegant, and she is like-minded with Zaixia." The man opened his mouth before the big man, flattering Li Pian'er while praising himself by the way. It's not so much like-minded as it smells like-minded.
Li Pian'er let out a chuckle: "That's natural, my big, it's explosive and irritable, and it's also seriously aggressive to people, which just enough to call his brother to take care of him." ”
While the two were talking, the next cockfight began again. Li Pian'er hugged the cockfight in her arms and couldn't extricate herself from the excitement. Looking at the two chickens, one black and one white, circling around the invisible circle, pacing each other and looking at each other in a big way, sometimes flapping their wings, as if looking at each other unpleasantly, a pair of enemies, before the official start of the warm-up, waiting for the perfect time to wait for the opportunity to attack, so as to catch the other party off guard.
Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, the black rooster flapped its wings at the white rooster and pounced like an arrow. The white rooster did not show weakness, raised his head with a hard beak and beckoned to the neck of the black rooster, and this fierce battle began in this way, and everyone shouted continuously.
The fine hairpin was depressed and awkward in this group of men, raised her eyes to look at Li Pian'er's side face, and pulled the corner of Li Pian'er's clothes hard: "Li ......"
"Shut up!" As soon as the fine hairpin came out of his mouth, he was gagged by Li Pian'er, and then he covered his hands in the ear of the fine hairpin, and said in a voice that only the fine hairpin could hear: "Don't call me Mrs. when you go out in the future, do you hear it, you have to call Miss, remember." ”
Perhaps it was because of the rain in the sky, and it was darker than on a sunny day. After watching the cockfight for several hours in a row, Li Pian'er finally couldn't stand the protest and walked out of the crowd with unfinished joy. Holding up the umbrella, she raised her head slightly, the pedestrians in the hazy rain tread water, the cloudy sky was still filled with raindrops, and the dense dripping like a thick line was unwillingly, and the rhythmic snapping sound sounded softly on the ground, endlessly.
The relationship between people and umbrellas, umbrellas and rain, is often so subtle, and accidentally creates a picturesque hazy artistic conception, so that even the busiest people can't help but slow down and calm their minds to be fascinated. Li Pian'er is naturally no exception, infected by this artistic conception, a heart gradually becomes calm and clear like a mountain spring, walking slowly.
Holding an umbrella in the rain, she was contaminated with a bit of ladylike gentleness, which was very different from the appearance on weekdays, so that those passers-by who passed by her looked indescribably beautiful. It's just that the fighting in her arms is too weird, and it seems incompatible with this situation, which spoils such a pleasant scenery.
The man who took the initiative to talk to her saw her leaving, and the cockfight stopped watching, so he hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, looked in the rain and walked away in the rain in front of him, his long hair was scattered like ink, and he shouted after losing his mind: "Little lady, wait a minute"
Li Pian'er heard the voice behind her, and her face blurred a disgusted expression that even the hairpins could see, and then revealed a shallow smile with a hint of play. The hairpin saw her changed and changed expression, and she didn't know what she was going to do.
She stopped and turned around, looked at the man who was walking towards her in a daze, and said loudly through the rain: "Childe, the cockfight is not over yet!" Don't watch it? ”
"Mrs. Li, oh no, miss, let's go quickly, don't talk to strangers, the big officials know, he should reprimand you for not keeping women's morals. Also, men are generally called officials. Xi Hai felt that it was really inappropriate for Li Pian'er, a married woman, to do this, so she kindly reminded her.
Li Pian'er looked at the fine hairpin with a surprised expression, and even her tone was deliberately pretending to be surprised: "Huh? Have you watched this TV series? Don't Talk to Strangers. It won't be a shadow of your childhood, will it? Anyway, I haven't seen it, I've only heard of it. Man, you're good! But cut, that big doesn't have the ability to abuse me, I don't abuse him, even if it's good. If you want to be a sadist, you have to see how many pounds and taels he has. ”
Li Pian'er didn't understand a word of what Li Pian'er said this time, and she was dizzy, and Li Pian'er's purpose of talking about this was also achieved, she just wanted to make the fine hairpin dizzy, so as to plug the long-winded mouth of the fine hairpin.
The fine hairpin was still stunned, and the man had already rushed over with an old oil-paper umbrella, and he was a little out of breath: "Little lady, are you preparing to go home?" I haven't asked the name of the little lady yet, where does my family live? Who else is in the family? Why go out alone? ”
Xi Hai stood up and unceremoniously pushed back his questions: "How can you inquire about my young lady's affairs?" ”
Check the account, this is. Li Pian'er squinted her eyes slightly, slandered him in her heart, rolled her eyes, and said: "My name is Lu Pipa, my family lives under the shrimp and toad tomb, and I can learn pipa at thirteen." But woohoo lament! My brother left the army and my aunt died, and I was the only one left in the family. ”
"It turned out to be Lu Niangzi, fortunately, but I never thought that Lu Niangzi's life experience was so pitiful, and her fate was so unfortunate, alas, alas! It's just that I don't know where this shrimp toad tomb is? I haven't heard of it below. The man looked at Li Pian'er decently.
Where is this shrimp toad tomb, Li Pian'er really hasn't thought about it, although she doesn't know where it is, but her words are smooth: "Isn't the toad just a frog, I live in the place with the most frogs, in order to make it easier to call, I gave this name." ”
"If Mrs. Lu doesn't dislike it, can I send Mrs. Lu back?" The man smiled heartily and looked like a ruffian.
Li Pian'er glanced to the side and stuck out her tongue, disgusting, and when she turned her head, her face had a bright and sarcastic smile: "Don't bother the officials, I have to go to the yamen and take the silver to ransom people, my arrested domestic servant has a violent temperament, has a violent tendency, and beats people who don't like the eye, no, I've been arrested three times this month, and I can't help it." I don't know how many more days my dad left me to smash into it. Li Pian'er pretended to be extremely helpless and sighed for a long time.
The man heard Li Pian'er say that she had such a domestic servant, and then looked at the fierce maid beside Li Pian'er, so he believed Li Pian'er's words. couldn't help but twitch his face, and he was a little timid in his heart, so he had to dispel the idea of sending Li Pian'er home, and temporarily put away his dirty thoughts. said: "I suddenly remembered that there is one more important thing to do, I am really sorry, I can't accompany Lu Niangzi to the yamen." I just don't know where I should go next time to meet my wife? ”
"This is easy to do, I just went to you, I haven't thanked you for giving the chicken! The next time I come to visit, I'll thank you. Li Pian'er said simply.
The man was quite realistic, and he told his net worth background and residential address in one go, and he didn't forget to brag about himself.
"Miss, you don't really want to go, do you? The place where he lived, I've heard, wasn't a good place. The hairpin looked at the back of the man in the rain, and his eyes revealed a faint worry.
Li Pian'er walked briskly on the long gray street, and said disdainfully: "Poor three, I still want to deceive Miss Ben, and I don't see what Miss Ben did before." But it's okay to use it for entertainment and relieve boredom, which is still good. It's just that it's getting late today, otherwise Miss Ben will have fun with him. ”
Li Pian'er has been mixed in the scene for many years, and she has seen too many people of all shapes, and her ability to recognize people is not bad.
"I see that he is very richly dressed, why is he poor? But I don't think he's a good guy. ”
"Kid, learn a little. How deep a person's net worth is, you can't believe those that are directly presented in front of you. It's all about the details, you know? Take this person just now, although he is wearing a brocade robe, but if you look at his waist, he doesn't even have a jade pendant, the money bag is deflated, and the pair of shoes, it is directly miserable. ”
"That's it?"
"Of course, you have to know that in this world, there are people who wear Rolex and ask for food on the street, and there are other kinds of strange people, who are so poor that they go to the trouble of getting a copycat version of a Lamborghini to show off. Details are often the most overlooked by those who are hypocritical. ”
"Miss, I still don't understand."
"Oh, why are you so stupid, okay, I'll give you another layman's talk."
……
The backs of the two immersed in the rain gradually drifted away, but the conversation between the two continued until they finally stepped on the tail of twilight and returned to the room, ending the topic of discussion between the two along the way.
Li Pian'er handed over the chicken in her arms to a maid, stretched her arm that was numb from holding the chicken, sat down in the chair and said: "Find a cage for your big official and lock it up first, I will be useful tomorrow, don't kill me, otherwise be careful to ask for your skin, eat and drink well and serve it, this is your big official." ”
The maid holding the chicken couldn't help but laugh: "Mrs. Li, if this is seen by the big officials, do you think he will be angry." Although they are all afraid of the wind, every time they see him arguing with Li Pian'er, the final result is that he can't get any cheapness, and the end is worse and embarrassing than Li Pian'er. As a result, the maids not only felt a little less worried in their hearts, but also vaguely had a hint of watching the excitement.
