Chapter 118: Little Feige's Charm
Chunying smiled and accosted the girl. Intentionally or unintentionally, he said that his brother had recently started another kind of business, so he often left the stall. The girl's face turned a little pale, and her eyes became wet when she spoke: "Isn't Brother Xiao Fei no longer a seller?!" Why? Even if you come for two hours a day, you won't be delayed. He...... If he doesn't come, I'll ...... What should I do......" As soon as my nose moved, I was about to shed tears.
Chunying felt that she couldn't go away, she just wanted to make fun of the other party, and gossip by the way, if she made people cry, it would be too much, so she hurriedly comforted: "Sister misunderstood!" My brother only occasionally doesn't come, and he still sells here on weekdays. When the girl heard this, she burst into tears and laughed: "Really? I knew he wouldn't leave me! ”
Chunying's heart moved, and she quietly looked at the other party a few times, always feeling that her words seemed to imply that Hu Fei had some kind of intimate relationship with her, but she often came to sell things with her, and she only saw her come to buy silk flower head oil a few times, when did Hu Fei become so familiar with her? Never mentioned it to yourself? Chunying watched the other party happily choose incense powder, purse and handkerchief, judging from the choice of fragrance and pattern, this girl is no different from ordinary girls from the common class in the capital, and she doesn't even recognize the words embroidered on the purse, she thinks in private. The other party and Hu Fei don't seem to be a good match.
The girl picked out a box of incense powder and a piece of Supa, both of which were the cheapest ones, and with a somewhat flattering smile, she said to Chunying: "Good girl, I bought a few more things today, you remember to tell Brother Xiaofei, let him not take care of other livelihoods, and forget about the business here, I ...... I'll buy his stuff next time......" said with a shy, turning around to leave. Chun Ying hurriedly stopped her: "Sister, tell me your name, I have to know who you are, right?" ”
The girl turned her head with a blushing face and said shyly, "Brother Xiao Fei knows, I ...... I'm gone......" and ran as fast as he could.
Chunying still didn't know who she was, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and complained a little bit about Hu Fei in her heart. When he was depressed, the middle-aged uncle on the betel nut stall next to him squinted his eyes and snickered: "Your brother is really not simple, look at a flower in Wangjia Village and look at him like this, it really makes us red." He grinned, revealing two rows of teeth blackened by betel nuts.
Chunying's curiosity overshadowed her disgust for his black teeth, and she asked with a smile on her face, "Uncle, is that sister from Wangjia Village?" I've seen her a few times, and I still don't know which daughter she is! ”
"You don't know what?" Uncle betel nut smacked his lips and deliberately got closer. "The daughter of Wangjia Village is called Xiaoxi, and she is a watery name! In the girl's house in the east of the city, although she is not outstanding, her needlework is the best. And her Lao Tzu is half of the official family, she has money tightly, and having a rich father-in-law is not better than marrying a fairy? Tianxian will only spend money, and will hook up with other men, and his wife still has to find a virtuous person to work. This girl is good, if your brother can really marry her, he won't have to be exposed to the sun and rain here for the rest of his life, maybe he will please his father-in-law, and he will be able to eat the official family's meal! ”
Chunying quietly took two steps back, avoiding the foam from Uncle Betel Nut, and felt a little disapproving. With her understanding of Hu Fei, she really didn't believe that he would fall in love with this Xiaoxi girl. Although he is much calmer now, he has never forgotten the enmity of his parents and the shame of being expelled from the house, and all he wants is to get ahead, accumulate his own huge family business, and then turn back to take revenge on his brother. The creek doesn't look like anything special. And how can it catch his eye?
However, Chun Ying thought about it again, and felt that if Hu Fei really fell in love with Xiaoxi, it would not be a bad thing, at least it showed that his revenge had gradually faded, to be honest, it was more important to live his own life well, and to abandon everything for revenge, it would inevitably outweigh the losses.
In the evening, Hu Fei came to close the stall, Chunying asked him about today's harvest, and learned that he had already said to the Wang family that he would officially trade tomorrow, and he was happy for him, and after congratulating him, he tentatively mentioned to him the girl named Xiaoxi.
Hu Fei thought for a while, but he didn't remember who she was talking about, until Chunying said "the girl who bought the big red hibiscus flower a few days ago", and he suddenly realized: "It turned out to be her?" I remember that the flower was sold to us at half price by the silk flower shop who made a mistake in the style, and it turned out that the girl had bought it. After a pause, he looked puzzled: "I didn't know her, but I sold a few flowers, when did I get along with her?" Sister, you don't talk about it, after listening to a few jokes from others, you will talk everywhere, ruining people's reputation. As he spoke, he glanced at the betel nut stall next to him, intentionally or unintentionally. Uncle Betel Nut snickered and spewed out a sigh and picked up the burden. He hummed a little tune in his mouth.
Chunying hurriedly described the situation when Xiaoxi came over today, and repeatedly promised that there was no exaggeration, Hu Fei blushed slightly, and said, "Maybe that girl just thinks the silk resin powder I sell is good?" Sister, don't talk nonsense, let's go home quickly! After saying that, he immediately went to carry the burden, obviously feeling that it was difficult, but he still walked forward quickly.
Chun Ying noticed his discomfort, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a wicked smile, snorted twice, and stepped to follow.
The next day, Hu Fei went out of the stall with her, and because the trading time was at noon, he stayed at the stall first. The business was idle, the two chatted without a word, Chunying mentioned that Wei Gong had done a good job of pushing the cart, but it was not easy to push, and he often fell crookedly when turning, so he could only push some heavy objects at home, but it was not easy to go out. Hu Fei said: "I said a long time ago that I don't have to do it, my sister doesn't give up, but now it's okay?" After I completed this transaction, I started with a few taels of silver, and I drove Ming'er to the cattle market to pick a mule, so that we don't have to be tired. Even if you go out of the city to do business, it's very convenient, do you say? ”
Chunying hurriedly said: "That's good, but you don't have to go out of the city, you can't make a few dollars a day, and you have to pay the city gate tax." ”
"With a mule, I can carry more goods, and if I go alone, how much will I have to pay the gate tax? Although it is bustling here, there are too many people selling goods. Hu Fei glanced into the distance, "Someone is coming, open the box quickly." ”
Here came a couple of young **. Listening to them, it seemed that they were going to send needlework to the nearby embroidery workshop, so they picked out about 20 turns of colored silk thread, and two large bags of embroidery needles, and asked if there were any new pattern booklets.
Chunying recognized that two of them were regulars, and it stands to reason that she should have known that they didn't sell fancy booklets, so she wondered why they asked. The ** heard her say no, so she asked Hu Fei again, if there was a fresh purse, someone picked up the water red Supa, asked if there was a lighter color, and the other asked if there was a bright red Luopa, the voice fell, and immediately another companion asked if there was a new style of brass thimble. You don't let me, I don't let you, everyone is scrambling to ask Hu Fei, squeaking and arguing. Hu Fei was sweating profusely, but he still had to maintain a bright smile, dealt with them softly, and said countless good things in order to appease the guests who were temporarily "left out".
Chunying found that she was being left aside, and it was obvious that Hu Fei was too busy to get out of his hands, and these customers were stunned and only circled around him. She understood a little bit in her heart, and couldn't help but be a little funny, seeing that one of the ** was squeezed behind, she looked over timidly, and greeted her with a smile: "This sister-in-law, what do you want, I'll get it for you?" ”
The ** blushed and whispered two words, Chunying vaguely heard the "embroidery shed", and hurriedly took out the embroidery sheds of various sizes in the cargo box for the other party to pick. She thought that this one was a serious person, but who knew that while the other party was looking at the embroidery shed, she glanced at Hu Fei and was absent-minded for a long time, until the other companions were satisfied with buying good things and leaving, so she casually picked a small embroidery shed.
As soon as they left. The stall immediately quieted down, and Chunying looked at Hu Fei panting and wiping sweat, so she snickered on the side. Hu Fei glared at her angrily, and couldn't help laughing, his cheeks dyed crimson. Chun Ying sighed thoughtfully: "The charm of our little Fei Ge is really unstoppable, I see that the big girls and little daughters-in-law on the whole street are attracted by you." "Speaking of which, she is really dull enough, why didn't she notice it before?
Hu Fei gritted his teeth, picked up a stack of Supa, threw it on her head, and scolded with a smile: "Why don't you pack up your things quickly?" Someone is coming again! ”
By noon, they sold more than 20 silk flowers, seventeen or eighteen boxes of carmine powder and four or five hairpin earrings, among which more than half of the guests were women, the youngest was about the same age as Chunying, and the oldest was a middle-aged woman dressed as a matchmaker in her forties. In fact, this is not much different from the past, but Chunying was suspicious and noticed a different meaning.
I didn't expect Hu Fei's tender face between youth and teenager to have such a great charm, Chunying still felt that he was very upright in private, but compared with his peers on the same street, Hu Fei was indeed much younger and more handsome, and he was gentle and patient with female guests.
However, Hu Fei does have some doorways, Chunying found that in fact, he didn't recognize all the "regular customers" who had patronized more than once, but he always acted as if he was very familiar with each other, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said, "My sister's complexion is better today than the day before yesterday" and something like that, which makes people feel that they are different, and it is something that the handsome guy seller remembers in his heart, and when he is in a good mood, he will be more generous. While Chunying counted the money happily, she finally understood why the Xiaoxi girl said that Hu Fei remembered her, but Hu Fei actually didn't.
Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, as soon as Chunying looked up, she caught a glimpse of the creek girl coming over yesterday, hurriedly avoiding two steps, and carefully looking over to see the excitement.
Xiaoxi still shyly asked Hu Fei what silk flowers he sold today, obviously he had already picked them yesterday, and he still repeatedly praised the silk flowers he sold well. Chunying was listening and laughing on the side, and caught a glimpse of the betel nut uncle grinning over, and hurriedly restrained his smile and sorted out the goods.
Uncle Betel Nut shouted: "Delicious betel nut - Xiaoxi girl, do you want to buy a few packs of filial piety to Master Lizheng?" Last time, he said that my betel nut is good! ”
Xiaoxi's face turned red, she bit her lip, and she really bought two packs of betel nuts, and the betel nut uncle smiled and squeezed her eyes, and didn't say anything more. Xiaoxi lowered his head and returned to Hu Fei, and said in a voice the size of a mosquito, "Brother Xiaofei...... My dad celebrates his birthday the day after tomorrow, you ...... Will it come? ”
Chun Ying quickly glanced at Hu Fei and saw that his face turned red.
