Chapter 285: Customs
The princess in distress, wandering at the Yangzhou ferry, in rags, but she is called the queen of today!
This is the favorite drama of the people who eat melons, the days are long and the nights are short, and they are worried that they can't play this long time.
After gnawing on the melon skin, he threw it into the corner, enthusiastically brought a small bench, and invited Wanying and his party to sit down.
The ancient road is enthusiastic, Wanying didn't expect that there would be such kind people in the picturesque Yangzhou City, which is much warmer than in the capital.
Sitting on a small bench, a group of melon-eating people surrounded the four people.
"Are you really the wife of the emperor today?" The melon-eating crowd asked.
"This is still false, our mother is Yong'an for the eleventh year, that is, in the first half of this year, she married the prince on March 19." Hongfu waited for Wanying to answer.
"Lord Rong has ascended the throne. Why did Niangniang live in Yangzhou City? "The people who eat melons are very yearning for the details inside.
Hongfu was speechless when asked, and Lao Lin said to the enthusiastic melon-eating crowd: "Let's come out for a private visit to Weifu!" ”
"I see!" The people who eat melons suddenly realized.
Human IQ and EQ have always been uneven. A melon-eating crowd asked smartly: "Then since it is a private visit by Weifu, the emperor has already ascended the throne, why don't you go back to the capital!" ”
Here it was Lao Lin's turn to speak, and Yun Niang turned out to be chatterbox: "We met a thief in Jinling and lost our entanglement, so we went to Yangzhou." ”
Speaking of this, I have to admire Yun Niang's wisdom, if it is said that it is lost in Yangzhou, it will definitely cause the disgust of the people who eat melons, so I immediately thought of the nearby Jinling City.
Sure enough, the attention of the melon-eating masses was successfully shifted to complaining about Jinling City.
"It is said that Jinling is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, I think it is a thief's nest, last time I went to Jinling to betray silk, a full five taels of silver, I lost it, I don't know when I lost it, I hid it well, I said that I lost it, it must have been stolen."
Yun Niang hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, our silver is also well hidden, and if you say you lose it, you will lose it!" ”
"Isn't it? Jinling is not only a lot of thieves, but also indifferent, the last time I walked the streets and alleys to sell goods, the water in the water bag was drunk, asked a few families, are not willing to give a scoop in vain. In the end, I went to the rice stall and filled a bag of water. You say it's not annoying! ”
"We Yangzhou people are not like this, otherwise how can the Grand Canal be repaired to Yangzhou? Was it to bypass Jinling City, an important town in the south of the Yangtze River? ”
"That's right, our Yangzhou people are hospitable, whether it is a business name from the south to the north, or a broker pimp from the south to the north, they are willing to settle in Yangzhou City, and the picture is the people and people here in Yangzhou City."
"Niangniang, don't worry, if the Yangzhou prefect doesn't give you eight sedan chairs, we will definitely not agree."
The cowhide of a melon-eating crowd is blowing more and more violently, and several other melon-eating masses in the same camp can't stand it anymore.
"You can really brag, and you feel like the prefect of Yangzhou is a big nephew."
"You can really brag, you have a salt field at home? Or is there a mine? ”
"If the prefect of Yangzhou really doesn't care, if you can stab him with a knife, I will obey you!"
"Yes, if you can stab the Yangzhou prefect, we will obey you without supporting the wall!"
Not to be outdone, the bragging melon-eating crowd said: "If the Yangzhou prefect doesn't care, I will spend money to send my mother back to Beijing." ”
"Cut, just because you make money by roaming the streets all day and selling groceries? It's not enough for you to chew the grain yourself. What a braggadocio for not making drafts! ”
Wanying anxiously looked at the direction in which Bing Yong flew away, but there was still no movement after a long time, and she was also very anxious.
"I don't have any money, but I have a house and land, can't I buy a house and sell land?"
"That is, your yard is quite close to the ferry, and you can earn a few taels a year in the warehouse, and you can buy it at a good price, how to drop, sell it to me! I'll give you fifty taels! ”
The topic of the people who eat melons is always swaying and uncertain, obviously starting from why Wanying lived in Yangzhou City, I don't know where to start turning the corner, and I actually talked about buying a house.
"Save it, keep fifty miles for you to go to the kiln, I have a courtyard with two in and two out, it's worth fifty taels? If you give me five hundred taels, I won't necessarily sell it to you! ”
"Hey! You old boy, didn't you just say that you sold your house and sent your mother back to the capital? Why did it change in a blink of an eye? ”
"I'm going to send my mother back to the capital, but I can't sell my ancestral property cheaply, you look at my courtyard sitting in the north and facing south, it's worth fifty taels, who I buy you can't be cheap, you old grandson!"
"You curse, grandson! Who do you say is the old grandson? ”
The two of them were chatting happily just now, and they were about to turn their faces and fight in a blink of an eye.
Of course, more than a dozen people who eat melons can't let these two people ruin the good reputation of Yangzhou City in front of Niangniang.
"Okay, isn't it a shame for the foreign minister to float down the river to the capital?" A spirited old melon-eating crowd persuaded peace.
"Tell me, my yard is worth fifty taels, isn't it annoying?"
"You didn't sell it, he didn't sell it either, the yard is still your yard, his silver is still his silver, arguing in front of the nobles, it seems that our Yangzhou people are not decent."
Neither of them was silent. Lao Lin hurriedly eased the atmosphere and said: "It's really hot this day, especially when I arrive in Yangzhou City, it's so stuffy that I can't breathe." That brother can make us a few bowls of cold water to quench our thirst. ”
"What kind of water do you drink when you arrive in Yangzhou, we are not from Jinling, eat melons, eat melons!"
"Yes, yes, eat melon, drink water, I'm out of this melon!"
The melon-eating crowd who wanted to buy a house for fifty taels trotted to a stall selling watermelons in the distance, and hugged two watermelons left and right. Then he said to the melon-eating crowd who sold their houses to send Wanying back to Beijing: "I want fifty catties of watermelons, and two more, you go and bring them over!" ”
The two of them almost fought like black-eyed chickens just now, but they reconciled again in a blink of an eye.
"There are more than 20 of us, how can a hundred catties of watermelon be enough to eat, I will add another fifty catties, and make up enough for a hundred catties, even if it is to quench my mother's thirst. A few more people, let's go carry watermelons together. ”
A melon-eating crowd who just eats watermelons and sees jokes said: "This grandson who sells melons is really stained with his mother's light, and he sold a hundred catties of watermelons at once." ”
A few people who eat melons came over with watermelons, and by the way, they also borrowed the knife for cutting melons.
The melon-eating crowd who sold the house to send Wanying back to Beijing cut a thick melon, handed it to Wanying, and said honestly: "Niangniang, moisten your throat!" ”
Wanying took the watermelon and asked softly, "Dare to ask this good man's name!" ”
The people who eat melons were scratched their ears and cheeks by this sentence, their faces were flushed, they couldn't hold back a word, and said with a smile: "Niang Niang eats melons, eats melons!" ”
This is the real good person, and no matter whether Wanying is a real princess or a fake princess, she is eager to help, and she is not even willing to report her name, which is nature. The folk customs are simple and simple, and Wanying is deeply grateful.
In the Vanity Fair in the capital, if there are more sesame seeds, I can't wait to let you know.
"Niangniang, his name is Liu Xiangfart, and the fart sound is always loud!" As soon as the people who eat melons see the melons, their enthusiasm is even higher.
I saw that Liu Xiangfart was holding a melon cutting blade, and gently patted the man's head with the blade on his belly, and said with bared teeth: "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, so many watermelons can't fill your mouth!" ”
"Niangniang, he doesn't call Liu Xiangfart, he calls Liu Yongjin!"
Wanying took a bite of the watermelon lightly, wondering in her heart, since people have a large size, why should they make a joke about it.
The man understood Wanying's heart, chewed the watermelon and said, "He farts very loudly, we all call him Liu Xiangfart." After speaking, the watermelon juice in his mouth flowed down the corners of his mouth, along his neck and directly to the placket in front of him.
Liu Yongjin blushed, squeezed out of the crowd, ran back to his yard, and locked the door.
"I'm thirty years old, and I'm as shy as a big girl with yellow flowers who hasn't come out of the cabinet!"
A sentence from a melon-eating crowd caused a collective burst of laughter among the melon-eating masses.
Time passed little by little, and there was still no movement in the direction in which the soldiers flew away.
"Could it be that Bing Yong ran away and didn't report to the Yangzhou prefect?" Wanying asked anxiously.
Of course not, Bing Yong saw that these people were menacing, especially the four of them were all in a Beijing accent, and they didn't dare to offend, if it was really the emperor's wife, that would be the future queen, and if he offended the future queen, would he still be able to live?
ran and broke his leg, ran to the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect, and said breathlessly: "Where is the prefect?" I have something to say! ”
When the doorman saw that it was his own person, he only said: "The turtle in the *, he secretly called the master away at noon, and he never came back at this hour!" ”
“*? That one*? ”
"How many more are there in Yangzhou City*? It's a famous brothel*! ”
Bing Yong gasped and said helplessly: "The master has entered the brothel, when will he come back?" ”
The doorman said with a witty face: "Then you have to ask when the girl in * will let the master out!" ”
"What can I do?"
"Is something wrong? Look at you in a hurry, go to the house on a hot day to cool off, drink iced tea to cool off. ”
Bing Yong had already smoked in his throat, and when he heard that there was iced tea, he plunged into the gatehouse, carried the spout, and poured it directly into his mouth.
After drinking a pot of iced tea, he finally suppressed the impatience and heat in his heart, and said with a clutch to his chest: "I am guarding the emperor's list today, and a woman who claims to be the emperor's wife came to me to ask me to find the prefect. ”
"What is the emperor's wife, what the hell am I still the prince and his own father? What is this? ”
"The woman said that he was the wife of the current emperor, and she was clamoring for the prefect to send her back to Beijing."
"I advise you to leave this matter alone as soon as possible, are there still few such people? It is estimated that it is a trick to deceive. Think about it, when the imperial relatives arrived in Yangzhou, the prefect still didn't keep his face and rushed to lick other people's buttocks? Can we still bump into each other? ”
