Chapter Seventy-Five: Forever Big Sister
Liu Wu glanced at the embroidery workshop opposite, and muttered: "Hu Xian'er ran away, how do you plan to remedy it?" ”
Huang Wangcai's eyes instantly dimmed, and he said in disappointment: "I found a sister who danced well in the Qinglou, and I will top it first." ”
Liu Fu stood up in surprise and scolded angrily: "Are you crazy?!" This is an invitation to Sendai, not an invitation to the magic platform, you invite a kiln-sister to dance?! Let the ladies know if they swallow you alive!! ”
Huang Wangcai hung his head helplessly, how could he not know this?
The women in the Ladies Pavilion are enough "fairies", each eye is above the top, and they are all rich ladies, and they will marry rich eunuchs in the future, and the future of each house is the mother of the house, how could the father and mother agree to let her show her head and make a gesture in front of people.
At the beginning, Hu Xian'er was able to agree, which greatly surprised Huang Wangcai. If you find a second one, it's hard to climb to the sky.
Huang Wangcai also invited a few girls from good families, whose bodies were either as hard as wooden sticks, or as timid as mice, full of small family spirit, and difficult to get into the elegant hall.
In desperation, she was replaced by a battle-hardened Qinglou woman, saving time and effort.
Liu Wu resolutely disagreed, not that she looked down on the Qinglou woman, but because she looked down on the Qinglou woman in this era.
The most important thing is that the main direction of selling these clothes is Miss Guijia, if these ladies know that these clothes have been displayed by the women of the Qinglou, I am afraid that they will never step into the Huangjia Buzhuang half a step again, and the Huangjia Buzhuang will never come out.
Liu Wu cautiously walked to the corner of the invitation Sendai and looked at the ground.
In order to enhance the visual effect of the audience downstairs, there was not even a railing set up on the edge of the invitation Sendai, and standing on it, the catkins suddenly became dizzy and retreated several steps.
After a long time, he said ruthlessly: "Huang Dongjia, do you still count what we said?" ”
Huang Wangcai looked at Liu Wu's shrewd and firm eyes, knowing that Liu Wu was talking about dividing the money into things in the future, looked at the Wen Embroidery Workshop opposite, nodded firmly, and said: "Those samples you painted for me can be redeemed with silver." In the future, I will never be disadvantaged to do things for me, and there is only one premise, to achieve results. ”
Liu Wu took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up twelve points of courage and said: "My body shape is similar to Hu Xian'er, I can give it a try." ”
Huang Wangcai looked Liu Wu up and down, and didn't believe that Liu Wu, a small village girl, could dance.
Liu Wu is naturally not a professional dancer, but fortunately, her body is flexible enough, plus Hu Xian'er's repertoire and dance, most of them are her memory ideas from her previous life, and she is naturally familiar with the road.
The catkins followed the dance and danced from beginning to end.
Although Huang Wangcai's face eased, the furrows on his brows were never completely relaxed.
Hu Xian'er once showed her face roughly, because the roof is too high, the people below may not be able to see the eyebrows and eyes, and the figure of the catkins is almost the same as her, which can just be confused;
It's just that the catkins' dancing posture is a little unsatisfactory, although it is not ugly, but compared with Hu Xian'er, it is too bad, and even, even the prostitute who was invited later, the only place to win is only the youth, standing there, it is a lifelike painting.
Huang Wangcai secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, I was afraid that he would have to use that prostitute again.
Liu Wu is still stubborn, and vaguely feels that Hu Xian'er's disappearance is related to the Wen family, in this case, insisting on using Sister Yao'er, if the Wen family's evidence is exposed, it will trap the Huang family's business in a catastrophe.
The most important thing is that the catkins are short of silver.
The catkins groaned for a while, and then let people take two pieces of black cloth, hang them on the beam, and stir their bodies on them, swinging on them like kites, and dancing with the music, adding a very fluttering taste.
Huang Wangcai raised his big finger and praised it: "This trick is good, it satisfies everyone's curiosity and awe, admires the courage and flexibility of the dancers, and ignores the dancers' dancing skills, wonderful!" It's just that why is this rope a black rope, and will it be more festive to change it to a red rope? ”
Liu Wu smiled: "It's the day, you naturally look at the black rope really, if it's at night, the moon is hollow, the black rope and the night sky are integrated, the people below look at it, it's like a fairy stepping on the moon, dancing, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime." ”
Huang Wangcai blamed and praised, and immediately replaced the board with catkins.
Liu Wu unceremoniously spread his palm in front of Huang Wangcai, and said straight to the point: "If you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse enough grass, and there are still ten taels of the deposit that Hu Xian'er didn't take, give it to me." ”
Huang Wangcai took out five taels of silver very neatly, put it in the palm of Liu Wu's hand and said: "Fifty-fifty points, you only have five taels, let's start, the same treatment as Hu Xian'er, practice for four hours a day." ”
really responded to the reputation of "Huang Xiaojiao", and I didn't want to eat any loss.
Seeing that Huang Wangcai had already made up his mind, he had no intention of changing it, so he had to give the silver that was not yet hot to the shopkeeper, begging him to help buy the things he needed.
I practiced dancing honestly and in a regular manner.
After practicing until he saw that the city gate was about to close, Liu Wu was helped into the Huang family's carriage and sent back to Liuhe Village.
Reluctantly got out of the carriage, Liu Wu felt that his hands and feet were no longer his own, especially on his wrists, which were blue and purple, and it hurt to press it.
When he saw the new cotton, new cloth, and new pots and pans unloaded by the coachman, he felt like he had been beaten with blood, and he was full of strength, so he quickly straightened his back and beckoned Liu Ya and Liu Mao to help carry things with a happy face.
Liu Mao happily came over, touched this, touched that, with a look of joy and curiosity.
Liu Ya's face was pale, and his face was not clear.
Liu Wu opened the packet of caramel he bought, handed Liu Mao a few pieces, and asked him to send them to Widow Li's son, Xiaoshi.
He handed the sugar to Liu Ya affectionately, and said with a slight smile: "Didn't you say that your mouth is bitter these days, eat a few pieces of sugar to solve it." ”
Liu Ya didn't want to pay attention to the catkins, but suddenly saw the blue and purple strangulation marks on the catkins' wrists, and held the catkins' wrists in a panic, and said distressedly: "How did you get hurt?" Did the guy surnamed Huang beat you? ”
The collapsed heart lake of willow catkins finally broke the embankment, and the cold reception she had received for many days finally got a response, and she knew that her sister Liu Ya would not blame herself, but still cared about herself in her heart.
The catkins held the willow buds tightly in their arms, and let the aggrieved tears hit the willow buds' back, turning into an ocean.
After a long time, Liu Ya awkwardly pushed away the catkins and said with a calm little face: "I'm about to strangle me, how old are you, and I'm still crying." ”
The catkins burst into tears and laughed, scraping the tip of the willow buds' little nose and laughing: "We both have a crying nose." ”
Liu Ya embarrassedly dodged the palm of the catkins raging on his face, pouted, and said, "It's not me anyway." ”
Liu Wu pointed at himself with his finger indifferently and admitted: "It's me, it's me, it's me, okay?" ”
Seeing that Liu Ya was no longer hazy with his face to himself, Liu Wu was in a good mood, holding Liu Ya's hand, the two sisters sat side by side on the kang together, Liu Wu took the finished futon to Liu Ya like a treasure, and said with a smile: "Look, new cotton, new quilt, let the embroidery girl rush to work today, Huang Shopkeeper only collected cloth and cotton money, forgot to collect the sewing money, we can squeeze out the silver from the teeth of 'Huang Xiaojiao', it is really a big bargain." ”
Liu Ya's face sank, and she pulled Liu Fu's hand again, pointed to the strangled wrist and arm, and said with a straight face: "Don't interrupt, what's wrong with your wrist and arm, did Huang Wangcai beat you?" ”
Liu Fu smiled: "That's not it, I'm the cash cow of the Huang Dong family now, so he can't abuse me." This is...... This is done when mixing cloth pigments, and it will be good to be proficient for a few days. ”
Liu Fu was thundered by the panic he said, fortunately Liu Ya's mind was simple, he didn't think about it, he easily believed his sister's lie, and said sincerely: "I will also help you work tomorrow." ”
"No, although Liu Mao is in good health, he can't leave people, you have to take up this heavy responsibility, look after the family, and look at Mao Mao." The catkins had a positive face, and there was a kind of solemnity that the heavens would descend on the Si people.
Liu Ya also nodded solemnly, feeling that the burden on her body weighed a thousand pounds.
The two sisters were chatting, and Liu Mao took Li Shishi's hand back to the house, followed by Widow Li.
Widow Li crampedly pinched the handkerchief in her hand, blushed and said: "Thank you, Liu Wu, I bought food and thought about the stone, this child ate the candy in his sweet mouth, and the words he said became sweet, and he said that he wanted to come over and thank Sister Xu'er." ”
Liu Wu pushed the things on the kang to the edge of the kang, freed up a piece of the kang edge, warmly beckoned Widow Li to sit down, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, aunt, we should thank you." I heard Liu Ya say that it is the things you helped to place, and there will be more places to live in a yard in the future, depending on you. ”
Aunt Li smiled warmly: "You are here, and you can be regarded as a companion for our mother." ”
Liu Wu smiled slightly in response, and did not say anything.
It is said that there are not many things in front of the widow's door, and the same is true of this widow Li, who said one more word to a man at the gate of the courtyard on weekdays, and a gust of wind blew the wind and rain all over the village.
Perhaps, Widow Li rented out her house as a way to maintain her own reputation.
The world is really difficult, and everyone has their own problems.
There were a few people in a room, only to hear the sound of children smashing the candy, and Liu Fu and Widow Li were relatively speechless, and an inexplicable embarrassment swelled up.
Liu Wu asked about Widow Li's embroidery work as if she had nothing to say, and Widow Li opened the conversation box and talked eloquently.
Liu Wu handed a piece of cloth to Widow Li, and she made a set of clothes for the two sisters to change and wash as a reward, and the extra cloth could be used to make another set of clothes for the stone, and Widow Li gladly agreed.
After sending Widow Li away, Liu Wu's body fell on the kang as if it had fallen apart, and after a while, he fell asleep and snored like thunder, which shows how hard it is during the day.
Liu Ya carefully faded the middle coat of the catkins, and looked at the scars on the catkins' arms carefully, and the scars, like two purple snakes winding up, were shocking and couldn't bear to look at them directly.
Liu Ya's fingers trembled and smeared gold sore medicine on these strangulation marks, and tears couldn't help but flow down.
I regret my resentment these days, my willfulness these days, and my evil words these days.
Liu Mao looked at Liu Ya curiously, and said in a low voice: "Second sister, what's wrong with you?" ”
Liu Ya wiped the tears on her face with her hand, put her finger to her lips and said softly: "Don't talk, don't wake up the eldest sister." ”
Liu Mao looked at the eldest sister Liu Wu, who was sleeping like a dead pig and couldn't wake up with thunder, and lowered her voice again, and asked again in a voice that only two people could hear.
Liu Ya smiled vaguely and replied, "Eldest sister, will always be our eldest sister." ”
Liu Mao looked at the second sister who suddenly opened up her eyebrows and eyes for some reason, although she didn't understand what it meant, but such a second sister, compared to her who was full of gloom a few days ago, her eyebrows and eyes were seen a lot.
