Chapter 27: The Wisher Takes the Bait
Ruan Si had already discussed with Yan Qingdu, and ordered Jin Ling'er to take Feng Shaoyu to meet him.
Yinhua'er was a little worried, and said: "Miss, I see that Uncle Yan is rough and impulsive, and the madman has a similar temper to him, I'm afraid it's ......."
…… When you go crazy, no one can pull anyone.
"It's okay, my husband's eldest brother's martial arts path is wide open, and it is suitable for the kind of madman who does not want to die."
She only hopes that in the past month or so, Feng Shaoyu can achieve something, at least parry ordinary martial artists.
Ruan Si looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, was stunned for a while, and smiled at the silver bottle: "Pick out a dress for me, I'll go see Mrs. Xun." ”
Since Mrs. Xun's accident, she has been closed, and even people in the county government rarely see her.
Ruan Siming went to the street to weigh some melon seeds and peanuts, picked up a box, and brought them to visit Mrs. Xun.
Xun Xian Ling just went home, and when he saw that Ruan Si was coming, he sighed and said: "My wife has always been good with you, you go in and sit with her, don't make her sad." ”
"I know," Ruan Si nodded, "I'll pick up something I'm happy to tell my sister." ”
Xun County ordered him to go back to the room to change his clothes, and the maid raised the curtain to welcome Ruan Si into the house.
Ruan Si held the hand of the silver bottle, and as soon as he walked into the room, he heard a crackling and crisp sound.
The room was dimly lit, and the doors and windows were sealed with curtains.
She slowly sat down in her chair, faintly smelling a strange smell, and her eyes took a while to adjust to the dimness of the room.
I saw Mrs. Xun sitting unkempt, so distracted that she seemed to fall asleep at any time, but the melon seeds in her hand never broke.
She dozed off while knocking on the melon seeds quickly.
In that pale and chapped lips, a few pieces of melon seed skin crackled and spat out from time to time, and those that spit out not far enough were stained on her skirt.
Ruan Si had never seen Madame Xun so sloppy.
"Sister, you're here." Mrs. Xun finally said hello to her.
Ruan Si motioned for the silver bottle to send the box up, and said with a smile: "Sister, try it, this is the newly fried melon seeds today." ”
Mrs. Xun said "um", grabbed a handful of melon seeds and held them in her hand, and continued to crack and peel.
Ruan Si didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It's the Dragon Boat Festival in a few months, and I don't know what special customs are here?" ”
"Poor country," said Mrs. Xun as she ate, "what good can there be?" It's not like everyone closes the door and goes back to eat zongzi and drink realgar wine. ”
Seeing that she was willing to say a few words, Ruan Si felt a little relieved, and said with a smile: "It's rare to meet a festival, if only there was something fun." ”
Silver Bottle also smiled: "When I was in Peach Blossom County, there was a dragon boat lion dance every year, and Miss was used to being lively in previous years, right?" ”
"I just got married this year, and I can't find a place to play," Ruan Si said, "Fortunately, I fell in love with my sister, so let's have a good time together this year?" ”
Mrs. Xun is a lively person, but she lost face a few days ago, and now she is afraid of seeing people.
Hearing Ruan Si say this, she was a little eager to try, but hesitated: "That's it, I look so bad, how can I see people?" ”
"What did my sister say?"
Ruan Si gave the silver bottle a look, and she immediately understood: "My young lady specially bought a lot of rouge gouache and wanted to give it to Madame." ”
Rao is mood was depressed, Mrs. Xun was used to taking benefits, and when she heard that there was a bargain to take advantage of, she still couldn't help but look at it.
"I thought, if there is a celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival, wouldn't it be nice for us sisters to dress up and go shopping affectionately?"
Mrs. Xun's expression darkened, and she shook her head and said, "What can you do in this kind of poor place?" ”
"If not, how about we make one ourselves?" Ruan Si hit the railway while it was hot, "I have an idea, sister, listen to it." ”
She explained her plans and plans, saying that she wanted to take advantage of the festival to set up a ring in the county town and invite the people to bet on the treasure and amuse.
Mrs. Xun knocked the melon seeds in her hand, patted her clothes, and said, "It costs a lot of silver to set up the ring, right?" ”
Ruan Si said with a smile: "The ladder given by my mother's family is enough, as long as you can live a lively and jubilant life, what is the amount of a few taels of silver?" ”
Mrs. Xun seemed to be interested, but her eyes flickered, "My lord is an honest official, and his family is not as wealthy as yours." ”
Yinhua'er laughed in her heart and persuaded: "Madame, don't worry, my young lady is still afraid that you will rob her, so she won't let her entertain you well." ”
Ruan Si also said: "Yes, I have just arrived, and the people don't know me, isn't setting up a ring like setting up a stall and being ignored? ”
"But as long as Mrs. Xun and Lord Xun are in charge, as a distinguished guest and I will be on the scene, others will naturally rush up to grab the blessings."
Mrs. Xun couldn't bear the coldness originally, and she was uncomfortable and panicked when she went out less in the past few days.
When she thought of the humiliation of the restaurant, although she didn't let Jia Shan succeed, her face should be gone, and she was afraid that she would be ridiculed if she showed her face.
Ruan Si saw her concerns and persuaded: "I see, my sister not only wants to go, but also to go with dignity." ”
"Xun County Commander is a parent official, and my sister is the county commander's wife, how can she lose her demeanor as a master and mother, so that those blind people look down on her?"
Mrs. Xun threw away the melon seeds, as if she was hesitating.
"Sister, you think, the ring is full of men fighting back and forth to please us women, and women also take men for fun."
"Okay, when the master comes, I'll talk to him."
Mrs. Xun patted off the last piece of melon seed skin on her skirt, and her face was much better than before.
Xun County Ling saw that his wife began to laugh again, and he was naturally relieved in his heart, and he responded with a smile to whatever Mrs. Xun said.
He asked Ruan Si personally, and when he learned that she was going to set up several levels to gamble and give him forty percent of the silver she won, he couldn't stop laughing.
"Brother and sister are polite, why am I embarrassed to take it?" Xun Xian Ling rubbed his hands and said, "Just leave it to my wife." ”
There is less than a month left before the Dragon Boat Festival.
The day that Yan Yingzhou agreed with her is also approaching.
Ruan Si ordered to go down, prepared intensively, and ordered people to publicize the Dragon Boat Festival in the county.
In the open space in front of Yan's shop, someone soon set up a high platform.
The road was full of people, and many shopkeepers on the street were holding their hands and standing at the door waiting to watch the excitement.
"I heard that this time there will be a gambling game, a copper plate will also be collected, a tael of silver will also be collected, and everything that wins will be doubled."
"I said is this reliable, who will sit in the bank? Don't roll up the silver and turn around and run. ”
"What do you think, it is said that Xun Xian Ling and his powerful wife are also coming, who builds the platform, can he run away in the end?"
……
Qinghe County rarely has a lively event.
The neighborhood has long been spread all over the street, counting the days with their fingers, stretching their necks and waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Ruan Si lost money and people, and Zhang Luo wanted to set up a ring in the county, and the men under her couldn't figure it out if they wanted to break their heads.
When Feng Shaoyu led someone to help, he turned around with a wooden nail in his mouth and asked her, "Big boss, which one are you singing?" ”
Ruan Si walked around the platform and said with a smile: "Those who wish to take the bait." ”
"Mrs. Jiang, I heard my mother tell you a story." Feng Shaoyu still looked confused, "But how can you catch fish when you set up a platform?" ”
"If the fish doesn't bite, I'll let him have to bite."
