Chapter 99: Yumei and Jingxian
Yumei listened to Qiao Ying's words, covered her face with her hands, and trembled with laughter. Because of the alcohol, the girls behaved more presumptuously than usual.
It was inexplicable that she laughed so hard in the other three rooms, but seeing her so happy, she was really happy in her heart, and she laughed together.
Yumei smiled for a while before putting down her hand, her face was crimson, very delicate. "Aren't you all happy? We earned six times as much as Miss Sanpin...... 60 taels! Smiling and smiling, Yumei's tears fell again, "But my father paid me a debt of 50 taels, if he knew that I could earn 60 taels a month now, I don't know if he would regret d......ying."
Jingxian has always been close to her, and she has long known about her, and when she saw her crying, she stroked her back and comforted: "Yumei, don't be sad, if it weren't for that, we wouldn't have been able to come here, and if we didn't meet A-Xing, we wouldn't have been able to earn so much silver." ”
Yumei wiped away her tears and smiled, with tears in her smile, as delicate as a flower with dew drops in the morning, "What you said is reasonable, if my father doesn't sell me, I won't be able to come here, and now I may be living a poor life, or I am married to a poor boy, I don't know if I should blame him for selling me." ”
Jingxian said softly: "We are fortunate to have come here, and many of the little girls who are in the same car with us must have gone to that kind of place!" At this, a look of fear flashed in her eyes.
"yes, I'm glad I'm here." Yumei sighed lightly.
Qiao Ying on the side saw that they got 60 taels of silver, so she was happy to be like this, and regarded the theater as their refuge, and couldn't help but despise their short-sightedness, she couldn't help but say: "But once we do the play, it will be difficult to marry in the future!" What are we going to do in the future, are you willing to marry those vulgar people? ”
Ah Xing couldn't help but look at the two girls when she heard this, Qiao Ying's heart was arrogant, she knew it, and now she wanted to know what they thought. She usually doesn't have much contact with them, so it's good to take this opportunity to get to know them.
Yumei looked at Qiao Ying and blinked her eyes, and said, "If you don't come here, you will go to someone else's house to be a slave, or go to that kind of dirty place." Not to mention getting married, I don't know if I can survive smoothly. Now that I have come here, I have good food and accommodation, I am not tired of living, and I can still get so much silver every month, I am already very satisfied, how can I think so much! ”
Jingxian also pursed her lips and said: "I am a concubine, the eldest lady will not wait to see me, and she will not arrange a good family for me in the future, maybe she will also be a concubine for others, and she will be bullied by the big house." I think it's so good now, I have so much money every month, in the future, there will be a man who will not dislike me, willing to be good to me, I will marry him with a rich dowry, if no man is willing to want me, I will stay in the theater, adopt a child, buy a house when I am old in the future, let the child send me to the end, this life has passed, I think it is better than being a concubine and being bullied by a big house! ”
As a woman of this era, it is not bad to be able to say such a thing, Ah Xing secretly appreciated it in her heart, and said with a smile: "You think far ahead, and you even think of adopting a son." ”
Jingxian blushed and said, "My mother often says that women should plan more for themselves......"
Ah Xing smiled: "Your mother is right, you think very well." "These two girls can be at peace with what they encounter, but it is also a blessing to have a lot less troubles. Compared with Qiaoying, they live much happier.
Qiao Ying disagreed, she thought that they were low status and little knowledge, so it was easy to be satisfied, in her opinion, a woman marrying well is serious, only a good husband and a good family can make a woman live a noble life, and this life can be considered complete. What is this idea of silver? Let them even look down on their marriage, and there will always be a day when they regret it in the future. She feels more and more that she is not suitable for here, these people are not people on the same level as her, this kind of ninth-rate place must find a way to get out as soon as possible, otherwise she will slowly become vulgar and lose the noble temperament she used to have!
Hu Gongzi must be tightened there......
I heard Ah Xing say: "You don't have to worry too much, if you find a suitable person in the future, you can redeem yourself and marry freely after 5 years, if you don't meet the right person, you can stay until the theater if you want, when you are old, you don't want to act, you can be a master and take your disciples to teach the play, the theater will pay you the same monthly silver, and when you are old, the theater will also support you and take care of you, so that you have no worries!" ”
Yumei rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "This is true, as if we really can't get married...... and then laughed again: "But this arrangement really makes us feel at ease, we really can't get married, and it's not bad to live like this for the rest of our lives!" ”
Jingxian also smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
Qiao Ying smiled on her face, but she was thinking in her heart, how could I not get married? If you want me to stay in the theater for the rest of my life, don't I have to be a lowly person for the rest of my life? I was very disdainful in my heart. Naturally, there will not be a trace on the face.
The four of them continued to chat, Yumei and Jingxian were the first time to talk to Ah Xing so intimately, and after chatting, they found that Ah Xing was a more amiable person than they imagined, and as the boss, they didn't have any arrogance, which made them like her immediately, but Qiao Ying's arrogance made people feel unapproachable.
Everyone had a good night, and they didn't go back to their rooms until late at night, and many people were drunk and yelling, but everyone was happy, so no one blamed them.
Ah Xing also drove home with her father. On the way, Li Runfu was a little drunk, humming an unknown tune while driving, Ah Xing heard her father sing for the first time, and felt that her father's voice was thick and low, with a sense of vicissitudes, which was very good.
Ah Xing sat next to her father, looked at her father's younger and younger face, listened to his emotional singing, and thought to herself, I really have to find a good wife for my father, and I can't delay it any longer. Suddenly remembered the words of the third aunt, it seems that Xiaoxi's marriage is near, so if you say it, you will also see the woman that the third aunt said, my father and Liu Guihua have known each other for so long, and I don't seem to have any feelings in that regard, maybe I don't like the type of woman that Aunt Liu said, go and meet the woman that the third aunt said, maybe my father will like it? Of course, in the end, it's up to Daddy to decide.
Thinking about it, I got home. Li Runfu drove the carriage into the courtyard, led the horse into the stable, and fed some forage. Ah Xing boiled some hot water and waited for her father to wash his face and feet, so that he could go to bed early. I cleaned up my house again before returning to my room.
As soon as she entered the room, she heard someone knock on her window and call her name.
"A-Xing." The sound was close and seemed to be right in front of the window. The voice was very familiar, and Ah Xing knew who it was as soon as she heard it, and it seemed that she hadn't seen him for a month.
