Chapter 20: Don't live up to the affection of the Iraqi people
The river willows on the bank of the Minjiang River are allowed to be climbed.
The name of the giver of the folding willow is always beautiful: "The willow is sent, and the willow is stayed", expressing a kind of affection and affection. But what about the fate of the willow branches? No one who takes a willow branch will keep it forever and throw it away without taking a few steps!
Most of the willow trees are also planted at the entrance of the green building. But those who have spare money and spare time to go to the brothel to pick up grass and climb flowers and willows to visit brothels, how many will fall in love with a dusty woman?
[1] "Wangjiangnan. Mo Pan Me" Dunhuang song lyrics
Don't climb me, climb me too biased.
I'm Qujiang Linchi Willow,
The one who folded the one climbed,
Affection for a while.
In the days when Yuan Zhen left Yu Rong, Yu Rong wanted to keep her chastity for Yuan Zhen, but she never expected Yuan Zhen to pay for her mother's living expenses. In order to make a living, Yu Rong had to take her little Xialang back to Tanhua Lane.
During this period, there were also a few young students who were new to Qinglou, who were ignorant of the world, had a good impression of Yu Rong and were infatuated with her. But Yu Rong is an old man who understands the harshness of life. As a fireworks woman, she only has the obligation to laugh, and she has no right to be loved and loved. She was blunt with those men: "Love for a while"! It shows that she is kind-hearted and does not want to cheat young people about their feelings and money.
Her actions also fully illustrate the darkness of reality and her sorrow as a dusty woman. Her rejection of the men's sincere love is tantamount to acknowledging her unfortunate situation that she will never get true love.
[2] "Encouragement Chapter" Zhao Heng. poem
Rich families don't have to buy fertile land,
There are thousands of bells in the book.
There is no need to raise a tall building to live in peace,
The book has its own golden house.
Don't hate to go out with no one,
There are many cars and horses in the book.
Don't hate a wife without a good matchmaker,
There is Yan Ruyu in the book.
The boy wants to fulfill his life's ambition,
The Pentateuch reads to the window.
Zhen Youcai, the son of wealthy businessman Zhen Youqian, did not study well, and was entangled with some fox friends and dog friends all day long.
A drinking friend named Ma San teasingly said: "There is a young woman named Yu Rong in Tanhua Lane, her white jade body is as tender as a piece of tofu, and her white and red face is as sexy as a hibiscus out of the water...... If you can spend the night with her, even if you are a ghost, you will be romantic. ”
Ma San's vivid description of the talented heart is ready to move. He picked up the silver and trotted all the way to Tanhua Lane.
In the past, the brothel where Yu Rong was treated was a high-end brothel, and goods like Ma San couldn't get in at all. And the place where Yu Rong stays now is the lowest, so she has to pick up any guests.
When Zhen Youcai walked into her yard, Yu Rong wanted to kick him out and told him not to come to such a place.
Youcai asked puzzledly, "Is it because my father offended you?"
Yu Rong said: "I'm not the kind of person who is cautious. ”
Zhen Youcai: "Then why are you?" ”
Yu Rong said: "You are still young now, you should learn well." ”
Youcai became angry when he heard it, "You kiln sister, what qualifications do you have to educate me?" Oh, isn't it good to be here? Why are you still here if it's not good here? Since you stay here as a kiln sister, you have to pick up customers. ”
When Yu Rong heard this, not only did she not get angry, but said to him with a smile: "You are still a child, how can you be infatuated with women?" ”
Zhen Youcai sneered: "Why can you be happy, but I can't?" ”
Yu Rong sighed and said, "I'm different from you, I fell into the Qinglou because my family was ruined." As for you, your family has a lot of money, and your family can't afford you to study, so why don't you go to the academy to study? ”
Youcai said: "Is it still useful to read?" Isn't the scientific expedition going to be canceled again? ”
Yu Rong said: "Even if it is canceled, the knowledge you have learned will always be useful." ”
Youcai sneered: "What's the use? ”
Yu Rong said: "As the old saying goes, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book......"
After some persuasion by Yurong, Zhen Youcai felt ashamed, so he left in a hurry with the silver, and never stepped into Tanhua Lane again.
[3] "Seeing Huan. Lin Hua thanked Chunhong" Li Yu. Words: Liu Jiachang. Qu Teresa Teng. song
Lin Hua thanked Chunhong, too hurried.
Helplessly, the cold rain came in the morning, and the wind came in the evening.
Rouge tears, drunk together, when heavy.
Since people grow hate, water grows east.
The flowers in Tanhua Lane have begun to wither, and red flowers are floating all over the alley. The petals were drenched by the rain, like the rouge on the cheeks of a beautiful woman flowing with tears......
Xiao Xialang was playing in the alley picking up falling petals, Yu Rong went out and gave him a copper plate, sent his son to the street to buy fried fruits and other food, and closed the door again. She does this every time she picks up a customer, so that her children don't see her bad. When her son finished his snack, Yu Rong almost finished picking up the guests.
Xiao Xia Lang jumped and walked away. After a while, he ran back crying again, and slammed the mahogany door with his little hands, and he lost the brass plate that his mother had given him on the road.
An old man with no hair on his head stretched out his head from the house, raised his hand and slapped Xia Lang, and scolded in his mouth: "Little Wang Ba Lamb, what do you knock, if you knock again, your fingers will be broken." Damn, do all the good things that mess with Lao Tzu! Then, the door was slammed again, and Yu Rong's cry of pain came from the room......
Kasumari curled up alone in the wall, bowing his head and crying. The passers-by looked at him with strange eyes, as if he were not a child, but a little monster crawling out of a crack in the ground.
Coincidentally, Ji Xu came to Yu Rong to discuss and asked, "Xiao Xialang, why are you crying?" ”
Xiao Xialang choked up and said, "He hit me~" Little Finger pointed to the door.
The mahogany door was closed, and Ji Xu knew that it must be Yu Rong working. Seeing Ji Xu's arrival, Sister Yao who was standing in the alley deliberately began to discuss.
One said: "Yu Rong really doesn't want to live anymore, in order to feed ......" She nu Jixu with her mouth and whispered, "In order to feed the little white face, I actually took the job of bald Li......"
Another said: "How can the bald Li be considered a person, even pinching and biting when he does that, it is not as good as an animal!" ”
The bald Li mentioned by the kiln sisters has a face full of hemp seeds, and often comes to explore the flower alley. Every time the bald Li came to visit Yu Rong, Yu Rong would run to buy meat, and when she came back, she would stew meat soup for Xiao Xialang to eat.
Yu Rong believes that this is the time when boys grow their bodies, and they need to eat meat to grow tall and strong. But she herself was reluctant to eat. Although Yu Rong is a dusty woman, she always wants to educate her children well and grow up to be as productive as his father. After a few days, Yu Rong prepares to let him go to his sister, leave this dirty place, and ask her sister to teach him to read. When she is older, she is ready to let him go to a private school, and it is impossible for a boy to be successful without culture......
Hearing the discussion of the kiln sisters, Ji Xu wanted to find a place to wait for a while and come back, but the sound coming from the house was a little strange, and these strange voices kept Ji Xu's footsteps. Curious, he found a broken bamboo basket from the side, and climbed up the window on it. With a gentle push of his hand, a gap opened in the hidden window. Suddenly, he was stunned-
Yu Rong was naked and tied to the head of the bed by Ma San with a rope, and a rag was stuffed in her mouth. The bald Li Zheng, who was also naked, was desperately waving the belt in his hand and whipping her......
Ji Xu finally understood why the kiln sisters on the street said that the bald Li was not as good as a livestock.
After a brief shock, Kio was completely enraged. Like a cat, he leapt silently into the room through the window and picked up a stick in the corner.
Yu Rong found Ji Xu, and she struggled desperately, trying to stop him. The bald Li was even more excited when he saw Yu Rong struggling......
At this moment, Ji Xu picked up the stick and smashed it on the bald head Li's body, he "snorted" like a wild boar, fell down, and didn't move.
Ji Xu hurriedly reached out and pulled out the rag that was blocked in Yu Rong's mouth. She stared at her big eyes, opened her mouth, and was stunned for a few seconds before she cried "wow". It took Ji Xu a lot of effort to untie the rope on her body.
Yu Rong stood up tremblingly, didn't bother to get dressed, put her hand into the pillow at the head of the bed, took out a few pieces of silver from it, stuffed the silver into Ji Xu's hand, and said in a panic: "Brother, you killed someone, run quickly......"
Ji Xu looked at the bald Li lying on the ground and said, "It's okay, he just fainted, and he woke up after a while." ”
After a long time, Ji Xu said: "Sister, let's not fight for this money, okay?" ”
Yu Rong smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes.
[4] "Autumn Moon Cold Wind Gusting Cool" Jiangnan folk song
The autumn moon is cold and the wind is cold,
The homeless man enters the casino,
Gambling money without care,
lost the money and complained about my father and mother.
August osmanthus is wet,
Sisters persuaded gambling and tears,
Persuade Brother Nong not to gamble,
Don't let my sister talk about it.
Ji Xu took the silver given by Yu Rong and went directly to the casino. He wanted to try his luck and gamble on it so that Yu Rong could get out of the sea of suffering. But what is a casino? That's where you can't fill up with any amount of money. In less than an hour, Ji Xu lost a lot.
A few days later, Ji Xu, who was desperate, came to Tanhua Alley again.
Yu Rong heard others say that he went to the gambling house and lost all the money she gave, and Yu Rong scolded him fiercely.
Ji Xu explained: "I see that you are making too hard money, I think you can make a lot of money in the casino, so you can get out of the sea of suffering."
"Do you think casino money is so easy to win? It's harder to earn than brothel money. ”
"I ...... at the time"
"At that time, it was when your family was rich, and it didn't matter if you won or lost, how can you gamble with the money we have to eat now?"
Yu Rong asked the handyman to go outside to buy a pot of spicy tang, she took out all the ingredients in it, turned it into a bowl of spicy and dead spicy soup, and forced Ji Xu to drink it. This bowl of spicy soup is so spicy that Ji Xu's head is shaking and tears are flowing.
Yu Rong said, "Brother, do you know? This bowl of soup is made of chili peppers, and there is a drop of blood from my sister's finger. This soup is unpalatable, but after drinking, it can dispel cold, disperse stasis, activate the nerves, and refresh the mind; Sister's words are ugly, as long as you don't let the words slip out of your ears, you can cure your bad habits, make you physically and mentally healthy, and have a bright future. Sister, why you want to do this, I want you to always remember today's soup and words. ”
After saying that, Yu Rong turned around and walked into the back room and took out a small box, "Brother, this is my sister's last belongings." The fifty taels of silver and some jewelry are enough for your education. Again, I've heard others say that Mingchun's scientific examination is the last time, so you have to take the exam anyway. I know your poetry is good, but the imperial court exam is not only poetry, you have to find a famous teacher to guide you. After being admitted to the Jinshi, I have a chance, and I don't live up to my sister's hard work. However, I have to say ugly things in front of me, and from today onwards, if you don't put your mind into studying, don't come to see my sister again. ”
Ji Xu sat there with his head bowed, tears falling. Yu Rong's words made Ji Xu's heart gradually clear, he was full of confidence in his future, and he thanked God for meeting a good person like Yu Rong when he was at his worst. Whenever he has a knot in his heart, as long as Jing Yurong enlightens him, he immediately understands it.
Ji Xu left Tanhua Lane, found the home of Hao Jing, a local scholar, paid him ten taels of silver, and asked him to tutor him in his homework for three months.
