"Have you ever heard that something strange has happened on Purple Jade Hairpin Street lately?" Aunt Gui Zhen, who came to my dim sum shop to buy osmanthus cakes, whispered to her mother.

"Sister Gui Zhen, do you mean the matter of Xiao Po?" When the mother heard this, the movement of bandaging the oil paper in her hand slowed down: "Is it true or fake?" ”

"Who knows!" Aunt Gui Zhen said mysteriously: "I heard that no one who has seen Xiao Po can come back alive. ”

"Aunt Guizhen, since there is no one who can come back alive, how did the news of this night wife come out?" I hurried up and interjected.

"Duh," Aunt Gui Zhen was also a little embarrassed when she heard my question: "Is this...... That's what people say......"

"A little girl, follow the root and ask what to do!" My mother waved at me: "Look at the palm lamp, your two guys and brothers are too busy to leave, it is raining apricot blossoms outside, you put on a hat and a coat and go to the Yanyu Pavilion to deliver snacks." ”

I still couldn't help but ask: "Mother, is it true that the matter of the night wife?" ”

"It's really fake, no one has ever seen it." The mother said impatiently: "Hurry up and take the food box, the dim sum is just right to eat at this time!" ”

I had to come down and pack up the snacks and put them in the food box.

Speaking of which, the matter of the Xiao Po, I also heard the little brother Xiao Sanzi who grew up with the neighbor next door mysteriously mentioned, this matter, there is no child in the whole Ziyu Hairpin Street who does not know, the legend is so, when I came out of the Ziyu Hairpin Street, I could always see a white-haired old woman on the bluestone slab road carrying a flat shoulder to sell wine, shouting in her mouth: "Night wine, night wine, and the frustrated person get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows!" Night wine, night wine, don't get drunk tonight and don't look back, look back on how many spring and autumn ......"

If someone asks, "Old woman, how do you sell your wine?" ”

The old woman would smile calmly: "The old body's wine doesn't need money, you can exchange it for one with your most precious things." ”

If someone replies, "It's just a glass of wine, how is it worth so much?" ”

The old woman replied, "A glass of wine, a wish with you, everything you need, a hundred tests." ”

If someone doesn't believe it, the old woman will put it in a lamp, and whoever drinks it will definitely get the same thing that he thinks about day and night, but that person will never appear on Ziyuchai Street again.

The third son asked me if I was afraid of walking at night to deliver snacks, but I didn't believe this, so I just smiled and said, "It's a big deal not to sell alcohol." ”

At the beginning of the lanterns, in this rainy season, the purple jade hairpin street is filled with a peach blossom drizzle, reflecting the lights of the Yanyu Pavilion, and the slippery bluestone slabs also flash a lot of shaking light and shadow. Wearing a hat and a robe, I hurriedly came out of the dim sum shop with the food box and delivered the dim sum I had ordered today.

Yanyu Pavilion is the largest brothel in the whole capital, covering a large area on Ziyuchai Street, our family lives on Ziyuchai Street, my father opened a small dim sum shop, and recently hired a few guys, relying on the dim sum ordered by Yanyu Pavilion, life is quite passable.

The drizzle did not hinder the business of the Yanyu Pavilion, and when I entered the Yanyu Pavilion, I passed through the flower hall of the peach and willow green, the warbler and the swallow, and entered the door of the Mandarin Duck Girl, the Oiran lady, and laid down the four-color dim sum in today's place: there are white with purple, elegant and pleasant taro mud cake, which melts in the mouth, full of fragrant red date halva, strong fragrance, soft and sweet assorted peach blossom cakes, as well as delicate and delicate, golden and crispy walnut crisp.

"Even if you come in the rain, it's really hard for the daughter of this dim sum shop." The mandarin duck girl smiled and gave me a piece of broken silver: "Take it and buy candy to eat." ”

I hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Miss Mandarin Duck!" The girl loves the plum vegetables so much, if she doesn't come, she still thinks about the girl! "I have been running between the dim sum shop and the Yanyu Pavilion all the year round, and I have listened to all kinds of clever words for a while, and I have seen that the Mandarin Duck girl treats me well, and I have learned to talk something to please her.

The maid of the Mandarin Duck girl, Luan'er, was very familiar with me, and said with a smile: "The person is a big ghost, Mei Cai, you are a teenage girl, who did you learn to be so flamboyant." ”

"Zuo is just here to usher in the send-off, listen to her a few words, won't it be." The mandarin duck girl looked out of the window again, frowned, and said, "Why didn't Gongzi Wei come these days?" ”

Wei Gongzi I also know, although he is full of poetry and books, and his export is full of chapters, but he is born black and strong, with thick hands and feet, and he has a simple appearance, but somehow, the forehead angle to the middle of the person, all the way down a big scar, the torn skin and flesh are hideous, and he is good to wear a golden coat, I don't know him, I just think he is a reckless man in the green forest who has fallen early.

Because the family background is very solid, a lot of money, is a guest of Yanyu Pavilion, the early years of scientific research was unfavorable, had to inherit the family business, in the purple jade hairpin street to run a silk shop, because of the good to listen to the play, free, often come to the Yanyu Pavilion to find a good singing Mandarin duck girl to play tea around, the reward is very generous, but a good benefactor who won the hearts of the people, but compared to the boldness of this benefactor, or he is afraid of the fame of the inside.

"Wei Gongzi's family is strictly controlled, and he is the most famous, but I heard last time that the eldest lady of his family saw that he was delaying a little late with us, so she wanted to burn his ears with a soldering iron, and make iron plate sauce to burn his ears!" Luan Er said.

"This business, if you really don't do it, how many injustices have been added, but it's a pity that you can't help yourself, who doesn't want to have a home of their own!" The mandarin duck girl sighed.

I saw the mandarin duck girl's face full of unhappiness, just wanted to learn from the adult, comfort the mandarin duck girl a few words, only to hear the door suddenly pushed open, with a smell of moisture accompanied by the smell of apricot pollen, cold, straight people shivering, I looked back, but it was not the five big and three thick Wei Gongzi came, Xu did not hold an umbrella, but saw Wei Gongzi drenched all over his face with water stains, reflecting the candle flame shining. The drops of water dripped straight to the feet, wetting the red brocade carpet.

I was just about to salute, but Wei Gongzi knelt straight in front of me as if he had planted a green onion, his face was full of fear, and he said in a loud voice: "Help, help, Mei Cai, you can save your life!" ”

I was startled, and hurriedly went to Luan'er to help, and said in a loud voice: "Son, what's the matter, such a big gift, a little girl with plum vegetables can't stand it!" ”

Who knew that Wei Gongzi's body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, kneeling on the ground, he couldn't support him, and shouted in his mouth: "Mei Cai, you are a famous dragon god messenger, Xiaosheng This matter, I want to ask you to go to the Dragon God Temple to help pray with the Dragon God on your behalf, and ask the Dragon God to be merciful and save Xiao Sheng's life!" If you can protect Xiaosheng, you will definitely pour out all your family wealth, three animals and five animals, and make a big offering! ”

The dragon god shrine is the Yanyu Pavilion a few years ago to spend money to build, although the ancestral hall is small, but very elegant, everyone on the purple jade hairpin street praises the dragon god for the miracle, the incense is prosperous, because I run errands for the family, and also send offerings to the dragon god shrine behind the Yanyu Pavilion, the people on the street jokingly call me to be the "dragon god messenger", from time to time there are people only when I have some friendship with the dragon god, what troubles, but I pray on my behalf, it must be more effective than ordinary people. Presumably Wei Gongzi misheard the rumors, when I greet the Dragon God and the Lord of the Dragon, what is really my ability!

I hurriedly said: "Where did Childe say this, it must have been misunderstood, Mei Cai is a little girl who runs errands, where did this lot of skills come from, but everyone only met me with the dragon god more, more intimate than other good men and women, so they came to ask me to pray, I can't refuse, and I have to pray on my behalf, and the people who entrusted me said that it was a miracle, probably because of the dragon god's mercy, they are sincere, how can it really have anything to do with me." Childe still got up and spoke slowly! Show it to Mr. Mo, you have to scold me! ”
