Chapter 109: A Bag of Money
、、、、、、、、、、 The moonlight was hazy, the birds had long since stopped chirping, and the lingering and melancholy songs of the girls came back and forth from time to time in the distance, and the group walked on the ridges in turn, about the relationship between everyone and tired, so no one spoke, just buried their heads and walked quietly.
Xue Niang felt very tired and sad today, and told herself several times that she would go to see Jiang Changyang again, but she couldn't help but turn around and take a peek. Suddenly, I saw that there were many shadows in the place where I was singing just now, as if there were still many people who hadn't left, so I said, "Why aren't there still people leaving?" ”
Peony looked back, and saw that there were still many people walking back and forth on the embankment, but the moonlight was dim, and it was far away, and it was not clear what it was. He said, "Really, don't they all go home?" In fact, she is more of a lover in her heart, and she can express her heartfelt feelings when they are almost gone at this moment. But after thinking about it, I felt that my guess was wrong, if I wanted a tryst, it should be when everyone was indulging in a carnival, and secretly hid to the side, didn't staying there attract attention at this time?
Jiang Changyang smiled: "You all see if the hairpin on your head is there?" These people are specially waiting there to pick up the hairpins that everyone has left down to exchange for money. ”
When everyone heard this, they all reached out to touch the hairpin on their heads, and checked the ring. Peony in order to go out conveniently, do not attract attention, wear not many ornaments, the style is also simple, is some silver, drop is not distressed, only a little check to finish: "mine is not off." ”
Because Xue Niang is carefully dressed, she wears many ornaments on her head, but she has lost a red gold knot hairpin and a beaded flower, and she doesn't even know when it fell. Fu's mother said anxiously: "It's over, the knotted hairpin is Mrs.'s dowry, and there are words engraved on it, and you have to find it back." After speaking, he didn't wait for Xue Niang to show off, so he turned around and went back first.
Although Peony thought that she might not be able to find it back, it was impossible to leave Fu's mother alone, so she had to say, "Let's find it together." Thinking that Pingbai had delayed Jiang Changyang for so long, he said: "Jiang Gong, it's late at night, you go back first, there are many of us, and my village here is not far away, so it won't get in the way." ”
Jiang Changyang smiled slightly: "Sending the Buddha to the west, since there is no reason to care where it is." So I asked Xue Niang what kind of hairpin she was.
Because Xue Niang borrowed it from Mrs. Dou, she was also very anxious when she accidentally dropped it, and she was in a bad mood, so she cried and said: "It's a red gold knotted dragonfly hairpin, and the wings are inlaid with jade." My mother's name is engraved on it. ”
Before the words fell, Jiang Changyang had already put on his robe and led Wu Yi to stride back. He did not look around like Fu's mother and the others, but took out a bag of money from his bosom and handed it to Wu, and ordered Wu to ask the people who picked up things on the embankment in a loud voice, saying that if anyone knew the whereabouts of the hairpin, he would come and say that he would thank him with the money as a reward; If it is deliberately concealed, it will be reported to the official if it is found in the future, and it will be punished as theft, and it is warned that the people who pick it up will not be lucky, and they will definitely find out who it is in a few days at most.
When Wu asked loudly, Jiang Changyang stood there with his hands behind his back, his back straight, his expression solemn, and his majesty. Xue Niang said softly: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to find it back, right?" A knotted hairpin is less than a bag of money, right? ”
Peony thinks it's not necessarily. If it is just two pairs of eyes staring, this thing is indeed difficult to find, the problem is that there are countless pairs of eyes staring, there are countless people with red eyes, this thing cannot be hidden. Reward for reporting, Jiang Changyang's method should be very effective.
Sure enough, after only a moment, a child ran over and handed the hairpin over, looking at Jiang Changyang with a blank eye. Jiang Changyang really took the money bag from Wu's hand and handed it to the child, and touched the child's head, and softly praised him for being so good and capable, and the child ran away excitedly with the money bag.
Lost and regained, and with almost no effort, Xue Niang was grateful and admired, looked at Jiang Changyang and said, "Brother Jiang, thank you." I don't have any money with me now, and I'll send it to your village tomorrow to pay you back. ”
When Fu's mother heard that she took the initiative to call Jiang Changyang "Brother Jiang" again, she couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Changyang didn't seem to hear the "Brother Jiang", but smiled faintly unconcernedly: "Huang Niang doesn't need to thank me, it's just a gesture." If you really want to thank you, it is better to thank He Niang, I am friends with her, and you are her good friend, I can't watch you all rush around without a head. ”
Everything is on the face of the peony, otherwise I am afraid that I will not look at myself...... Xue Niang was completely stunned, and only after a moment did she say softly: "I naturally want to thank Sister He, but I always have to pay you back the money I owe you." ”
Jiang Changyang smiled and said, "It's good to pay him back, she borrowed this money from me in the past." I was going to pay her back, and so is your return today. ”
Peony was stunned, when did he borrow money from him? She looked at Jiang Changyang suspiciously, and she actually saw a little pleading on his face. Looking at Xue Niang again, Xue Niang looked at herself blankly, her face was pale by the last moon shadow. Peony's heart turned back and understood that Jiang Changyang probably saw the little girl's thoughts, but he didn't want to have anything to do with the little girl, this was to completely break the little girl's thoughts, and she, just right, became the one who turned in the middle.
Peony is very embarrassed. Xue Niang's admiration and favor for Jiang Changyang just came from his stunning appearance of Pegasus Hit Money, and more often than not, she thought about people for the better. Theoretically, this inexplicable passion is not as good as breaking it early. But emotionally speaking, Peony didn't want Xue Niang to look at her with that kind of eyes. But if you want Peony to expose Jiang Changyang's words in public, saying that she has not lent him money, but she can't do it, if she does, it will not only be Jiang Changyang embarrassed, but even Xue Niang will feel deeply faceless, maybe she will be even more embarrassed.
Therefore, Peony said carefully: "It's just a bag of money, compared to your life-saving grace to me, what is it, I have forgotten." ”
Seeing that she responded, Jiang Changyang exhaled lightly, and didn't look at Xue Niang's expression, looked at Peony and said with a smile: "What kind of life-saving grace, I also forgot, just remember that you lent me a bag of money." This life-saving grace, please don't talk about it at any time in the future, so that if I want to ask the house for help, it will be difficult to speak. ”
Hearing him say this, Peony smiled slightly and said hello.
Xue Niang's shoulders trembled twice, she bit her lip desperately, quickly turned her head, and walked forward quickly. Seeing this, Fu's mother hurriedly stepped forward to block her behind, not letting her teary eyes show people the joke, looked back at Peony and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, let's return He Niang is the same." But in any case, Jiang Gong took the trouble to thank him as well. ”
Peony peeked at Xue Niang's expression and said with a smile: "Okay, the night is dark, and I want to thank you tomorrow." Let's hurry up. ”
Everyone said yes one after another, and they all sped up. This time, it only took a little more than a cup of tea to arrive at the door of Fang Yuan. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Hu Dalang raised several big black dogs to guard the door jumped up suddenly, barked a few times, smelled the smell of the peony, snorted twice, and then flatteringly stepped forward and circled around everyone twice. Hu Dalang, who had been waiting, had already opened the door and came out to pick up people with lanterns.
Peony and his entourage said goodbye to Jiang Changyang and did not mention it when they entered the door.
Jiang Changyang and Wu Gang turned around, and Hu Dalang chased after him again, and handed over a lantern: "Gong, my mother said that the moon is sinking, the sky is getting late, and it is difficult to walk in the fields, so I asked the villain to send this lantern to you to shine." ”
Jiang Changyang was about to say that he didn't need it, but Wu had already taken it and said with a smile: "Brother Annoying Brother thanked your mother for my father-in-law, and I will send it back tomorrow." ”
Jiang Changyang stopped talking, and let Wu carry the lantern in front of him. When he was far away from Fangyuan, Wu looked confused and said, "Do you still remember the bag of money?" What did you give to that kid tonight, is it really that bag of money? How does it not seem to be? ”
Jiang Changyang said lightly: "It turns out that you have marked each of the bags of money, and you can separate them through the bags." Dare to ask if it's fragrant or smelly? ”
Wu rolled the dead man's eyes and said, "Obviously, the color of the purse is different. ”
Jiang Changyang was silent for a moment, and said unhappily: "I don't have your idle time, let alone the leisure to remember this." ”
Wu said "oh" and said, "Tomorrow the villain will come to return the lanterns, is the public coming?" Why don't you ask them to go singing together? Since you came to the capital, I haven't seen you singing. In other words, He Niang is really good-looking when she laughs under the moon, and the most rare thing is that her temper cultivation is really good. ”
Jiang Changyang was silent and walked very seriously.
Wu chattered: "That yellow lady, you really should help her." If it weren't for her......" Before the words fell, Jiang Changyang quickly stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful from his waist, took off his purse, and threw it into the endless rice field. Without waiting for him to react, he snatched the lantern from his hand and said, "You find it first, I'll go back." ”
When Jiang Changyang went far away with the lantern, Wu still stood still with a sad face, it was made for him by his daughter-in-law, the tigress is so fierce that she can eat people, how can it be good this time?
As soon as Peony and the others entered the house, Ah Tao hurriedly led a few rough women who stayed at home to bring hot water up, and asked if they wanted to eat supper. Peony glanced at Xue Niang, who pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word, and said with a smile: "Xue Niang, do you eat?" I'm really hungry. ”
Xue Niang raised her eyes to look at Peony, pursed her lips and did not speak. Seeing this, Fu's mother hurriedly inserted herself in the middle to play a round: "Xue Niang, can you eat some?" I'm afraid it's going to be noon to catch up on sleep. ”
Xue Niang gently pushed Fu's mother away and said, "If you want to eat, you go down, Sister He and I have a few words to say." ”
Yuhe glanced at Peony worriedly and didn't want to go out. Peony was silent for a moment and said, "You all retreat, make a supper and then send it up." Then he smiled and looked at Xue Niang: "What does Xue Niang want to say to me?" ”
Xue Niang's face wrinkled, and then she cried out: "Sister He, you must look down on me, right?" I'm a fool, a fool. I don't know if I don't look at people's eyes. ”
