Chapter 24: Market Sights

Such a brilliant sun, I really see it once less, and after a while, the snowflakes will fall down, and I will completely say goodbye to such a good day.

Xu is everyone thinks like this, on this day, there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, and the hawkers are also shouting hard, wanting to attract more business, make more money, and wait until the cold day, they can be safe and secure at home for a winter.

There is an old man on the side of the road who has a small stall in pouring sugar paintings, surrounded by a lot of children, Pu Cao thought of the well-behaved mountains and peach blossoms at home, so he squeezed over, only to see the old man took a small copper spoon in a small iron pot and scooped a spoonful of brown syrup, and then shook his wrist, and the clouds and water generally used the syrup to draw a big rooster on the marble slab with a head up and a chest, full of pride, vivid, lifelike, and attracted everyone around to applaud.

Pu Cao's eyes widened, and he said straight in his heart, art is in the folk, this is really true, and he immediately paid six yuan to buy two big roosters and a little pig. When the old man heard that she was going to walk a long way home, he specially helped to cover an extra layer of thin oiled paper to prevent the road from being stained with wind and sand.

Pu Cao thanked and thanked, and when she thought that after she went back, the two children would cheer when they saw it, and she couldn't help but smile and squint.

Chunni squatted in front of the stall on the side to rummage through those purse sachets, Pu Cao thought she liked it, and was about to pick her up a few, but she pulled her away, and laughed quietly, "I'll take a look, just go back and embroider." ”

Pu Cao giggled, and said that she was stealing the teacher, and the two laughed and were just about to turn back to the Chengxi Pharmacy, when they saw that the intersection in front of them seemed to be noisy, and many pedestrians gathered over, even on the restaurants on both sides of the street, there were also people who opened the windows to look out.

It's a pity that the two of them acted a little late, and when they rushed over, the place had been surrounded by spectators three times inside and three times outside, and the two of them were short, and they couldn't see the inside or dead or alive, so they could only listen to two sentences with their ears open.

It turned out that the two parties who quarreled inside were women, because the carriage hit a dispute, but listening to the words, it seemed that another man was involved, and there was such a fragrant plot to join, which naturally aroused the eyes of the spectators and was full of interest.

Chunni saw that the two vendors next to her were facing each other, smiling and whispering, so she leaned over and asked, "Two big brothers, our girls from Cuiluan City are spicy, and they quarrel on the street, but they are really not afraid of ruining their reputation." ”

The two hawkers seemed to know some inside information, but they were panicked, and they heard someone asking, and when they turned their heads, they saw that they were two peasant daughters-in-law, not like the two masters who quarreled, so they smiled and said, "Big sister, you don't know, these two masters are not afraid of bad reputation at all." One of them is the eldest lady of the city lord's family, who dares to say that she doesn't know a word? The other one is even more afraid, it is the red peony of the Rouge Pavilion, the dusty woman who rolls in the pile of men. ”

"Oh?" Chunni exhaled in disbelief, "That peony girl is a powerful girl, she actually dares to quarrel with the eldest lady of the official family, she is not afraid..."

When the two hawkers heard this, they laughed even more ambiguously and treacherously, and their voices were lowered, "If it were a normal day, the peony girl would really not dare to provoke that person, but now there is someone behind her to support her." This woman fights with each other, regardless of where she comes from, if she can please a man, she will keep it and have the upper hand. ”

Pu Cao was a little displeased when she heard that the more they talked, the more explicit they became, she pulled Chunni and said, "Let's go back, we have to hurry home." ”

Chunni also blushed a little, turned her head and squeezed out with Pucao, and whispered, "I thought there was something lively, it turned out that two women were jealous." ”

Pu Cao squeezed her eyebrows and teased her, and said with a smile, "What, you plan to study more and find a concubine for your family in the future?" ”

"He dares!" Chunni immediately glared, "If he begs for a concubine, I will discount his leg!" ”

Pu Cao burst out laughing, took the basket from her hand, and laughed all the way back to the medicine hall, but unfortunately, the two left early, and as soon as they turned the corner, the noisy place ushered in a key person, who was also a person they knew well.

Fang Jie saw the street in front of him that was surrounded by water, the folding fan under his hand swayed slowly, and the hair he brought up stroked the corners of his slightly curled mouth, if someone who didn't know him saw it, he was afraid that he would think that he was very happy at this time, but the truth was completely opposite, his lightly raised eyebrows were full of impatience and annoyance. The little guy who followed him quietly moved two more steps to the side, pinching a cold sweat for the two women who felt good in that scene.

Thinking like this, he stepped forward, stretched out his hand to push away the crowd, and said, "Folks, please give way." "It's a pity that everyone is enjoying it, and no one has the intention of moving the place.

In the crowd, the maids of the two sides were already showing their arms and rolling up their sleeves, and they almost gave an order to fight forward.

Although the two masters did not get out of the carriage, they also quarreled through the window, this said, "You are a lowly woman, covered in dust, and you dare to mention my cousin's name?" My cousin took pity on you, so he praised you, and really thought he was the daughter-in-law of the Fang family? ”

The other party was soft and weak, and retorted, "Fang Gongzi is pitying the slave family, but he is even more in love with the slave family, if Miss Sun doesn't like it, she will send someone to inform the slave family, and the slave family can't bear to cut their love and let Fang Gongzi to Miss Yes, why did Miss hit the slave family's car and horse on the street?" Isn't this the work of a woman who knows the rites? ”

"You, you! That's my cousin, who wants you to give in, what are you, you dare to scold me for being rude? Miss Sun was completely annoyed and angry, and shouted loudly, "You useless, what are you waiting for, smash her car for me!" ”

The two little maids under Peony immediately raised their hands, pondering whether to grab each other's hair or pull their clothes first, Fang Jie couldn't listen anymore, and shouted coldly, "Stop it for me!" ”

This shout frightened the protagonist and the spectators, and when they turned their heads, it turned out that the male protagonist had arrived, and the smiles on the faces of the familiar people in the crowd were even stronger. The maids of the two families in the field also hurriedly lowered their heads and took a few steps back next to their masters.

The crowd finally made way for a path, Fang Jie walked between the two carriages, and was about to speak, but the carriage on his left suddenly opened the curtain, revealing the delicate face of the eldest lady of the Sun family, she called out happily, "Cousin! What are you doing here? Erniang has been talking about you a lot lately, and my cousin doesn't go to our house to walk around? My cousin only taught me half of the poetry last time. ”

The peony on the other car was naturally not willing to fall down, and the curtain was also raised, she was slightly older than Miss Sun, but her appearance was not bad, and she had more charm than the young woman, especially the charm revealed between the eyebrows, which made the surrounding spectators itch and secretly happy.

Peony felt the burning eyes of everyone around her, she was not ashamed in her heart, but she was very proud, but she tried her best to pretend to be three points of grievance and seven points of surprise on her face, and said softly, "Fang Gongzi... It's all a slave family, and you shouldn't come to the street today, causing such a turmoil, I'm afraid it will make a fool of your son. ”

It is said that ginger is old and spicy, and as you get older, more or less, you have to grow some scheming and means together. Sure enough, compared to the coquettishness of Miss Sun's family, as soon as Peony's words came out, Fang Jie's face was much better, he nodded slightly and saluted, and said in a low voice, "Miss Peony is polite, today's incident is all my cousin's recklessness, and I will definitely come to apologize in person another day." ”

Peony's apricot eyes lit up, the smile on his face was even stronger, with a slight hint of expectation and shyness, and responded, "Childe's words are serious, but it's just a trivial matter, how can I apologize to Gongzi, but it's good to see Gongzi, I got a jar of 30-year-old osmanthus brewing a few days ago, and I was waiting to taste wine with Gongzi, then... Peony is waiting for the son's big frame. ”

Fang Jie didn't like the strong brewing of the bud valley, and he was very partial to the wine of the southern country, and when he heard Peony say this, his face was three points better, and he smiled, "I must go tomorrow." ”

Peony got the quasi-letter, reluctantly suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, slowly lowered the car curtain, and told the coachmen and maids to hurry.

Over there, Miss Sun set an appointment after hearing a few words from the two, and the sour vinegar in her heart seemed to have been poured into the time tunnel, and instantly became a thing that had been deposited for thousands of years, and the surging sour breath rushed straight to her head, pointing to the carriage that was far away and scolding, "You dirty slut, dare to seduce my cousin in front of me, I... I, I'm going to demolish your broken building..."

"Jiaofeng!" Fang Jie watched Peony's carriage go straight without looking back, and added a trace of gratitude in his heart, no matter who was right or wrong, at least Peony acted generously like this, he wouldn't be too embarrassed.

As for his cousin, this temperament is a little too rude, Fang Jie endured his anger and stepped forward and whispered, "You are a young lady, you are arguing with people on the street, wouldn't you lower your own price, if Lord Sun knows about this, I'm afraid that I will be grounded for three months, hurry back home." ”

Miss Sun pouted aggrievedly, tore the handkerchief in her hand, and said angrily, "You don't come to see me, I am angry with this cheap woman every day..."

"Okay," Fang Jie interrupted her impatiently, for fear that this brainless daughter would say something that would be easily misunderstood, and hurriedly urged, "You go back to the house first, and tell my aunt that I will go to see her tomorrow." ”

"Really?" Miss Sun's eyes were instantly full of joy, and the jar of aged dry vinegar in her heart miraculously turned into honey again, so sweet that she was dizzy, and responded in a loud voice, "Okay, okay, I'll go home, cousin, you can't deceive people, you must come!" If you don't come, I'll go to Baiyunju to find you..."

Fang Jie responded with a few words, then drove the coachman and quickly turned the head of the car, Miss Sun walked far, and kept lying on the window of the car and waving.
