Chapter 22
Du Xuanmo was very satisfied with the semi-finished products made by the Shen family, which were even better than the lanterns he made himself.
"Your lantern is ready, just take out one, and my father will do it. At noon today, my father said that he would study the matter of buying materials, and if you can leave the stall, go together, you know more, so that the things we buy are not good. Shen Shiliu said, in fact, the purpose of her letting Du Xuanmo go was mainly to make the money to be spent transparent, indicating that their Shen family did not occupy more money or even report false accounts.
Du Xuanmo also understood the meaning of Shen Shimei's words, so he said, "Okay, I'll just let my mother help take care of the stall." ”
"Okay, I'll come back to you at noon!" Shen Shi went back to her stall first, Shen Shu didn't want her to be an unmarried little girl and the rest of the men to get in, for fear of ruining her reputation.
Du Xuanmo watched Shen Pomegranate leave, and his heart was happy, as long as he could see Shen Pomegranate these days, he felt in a good mood. Obviously, Shen Pomegranate is not good-looking, and he is chubby, but Shen Pomegranate's personality is too good, unlike other women who are twisted and restrained.
When a person is accustomed to seeing another person and feels that the other person is very attractive, then the flaws in the other person's appearance are easy to ignore. This is the case with Du Xuanmo at this time, and he doesn't feel fat anymore.
At noon, the group forgot about the small stalls in the south of the city, there are more groceries sold here, Shen Pomegranate is not the first time to come, but it is still relatively unfamiliar to this side, there are small shops and stalls selling goods on both sides of the street, which is lively and lively to remind Shen Pomegranate of a song.
Beat the drums and beat the gongs...... The little flower cloth that the girl likes, the tickling old man is happy~
The bosses were selling, and Shen Pomegranate was sightseeing while keeping an eye on the small shop where he wanted to buy materials. In the end, Shen's father stopped at the door of a shop selling timber and bamboo poles, and several people entered.
Shen Pomegranate can't pick things, just have her father and Du Xuanmo, she walks around the door, next to it is a cloth shop, although it is not as expensive and good quality as it is sold on Chengbei Street, but it is more suitable for ordinary people.
After a while, Father Shen and Du Xuanmo came out of the timber shop and bought a few bamboo poles that looked quite smooth.
"Pomegranate, you are looking at the pole here, Xuanmo and I will go to see the tung paint!" Father Shen directly called Du Xuanmo's name, and he didn't need to call him Gongzi when he was familiar.
"Okay, you guys go!" Shen Shimei answered, and asked Shen's father to stand the bamboo pole on the side of the wall.
Father Shen and Du Xuanmo went to a lacquer shop next to them, and Shen Pomegranate stood in the corner waiting for someone to come back.
The afternoon sun was warm at this time, and Shen Shimei, who was looking for her, was a little sleepy, she was dozing off against the wall, it was good to be lazy like this, but there was a sharp cry, which scared her into spirits.
"Help! What a disrespect! The woman's shrill voice broke the silence of the afternoon, and many people on the street looked at it, and some of the people who were taking a nap were also shocked out to see what was going on.
Shen Pomegranate was relatively close to the source of the sound, and when he glanced over, he saw a young woman who was blocked in the corner by several young men, looking very scared.
"Is it a scene of bullying men and women?" Shen Shiliu thought, this kind of scene is too familiar, basically every costume drama has to have such a scene, mainly to pretend to be used by the protagonists, but I didn't expect her to meet the real one today.
The young woman shouted for help, but the people around her did not help. The owner of the lumber shop also stood at the door at this time, and sighed twice.
"Boss, do those young bosses know?" Shen Shiliu asked.
The boss turned around and saw Shen Shimei, and when he saw her when he was selling bamboo poles just now, he said: "I don't know, but the one who leads is the grandson of the county master's family, Sun Tianba, who is very domineering, the woman is pitiful, she is entangled by this person, and no one else dares to care!" ”
Shen Shiliu knew it in his heart, the setting was so vulgar, and the name was so "Tianba"! But she couldn't help it.
First, she is not a knight in white, and it is not her turn to pretend to be forced.
Second, she is a small grassroots root, and she is against the grandson of the county lord, isn't that death?
Shen Pomegranate was still standing at the base of the wall, but the young woman wanted to run, no matter which direction, she slipped through a loophole, Shen Pomegranate blinked an eye, and the woman ran over from the corner of the wall on her side.
The woman is slender, she looks at her eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she is crying in a coarse cloth and plain clothes, she looks at it and thinks that this is a small jasper with a good posture, no wonder the "grandson" will entangle her.
"Leave me alone!" The young woman cried, and the person happened to hide in the deep of Shen Pomegranate.
Shen Shimei pondered that the woman was using her as a meat shield, so she wanted to hide back, but when she reached the root of the wall, she had already retreated to the root, and after retreating, the woman was squeezed into a cake.
"Master, how can the person I fancy have a reason to let go? Whoever this man is, go up to the side! After Sun Tianba finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Shimei, Shen Shimei was really round like a meatball, and the robbery was generally not within the range, so Sun Tianba asked Shen Shimei to leave quickly.
Shen Shiliu felt that she was not the Holy Mother Little White Lotus, and she couldn't do anything strong, so she flashed to the side, but the woman behind her was like sticking to her back, and she flashed the woman.
"Hey, where did you come from! is so fat and ugly, and dares to obstruct the eyes of the master! Sun Tianba ran out of patience, and directly stepped up to push Shen Shimei aside with the thugs behind him.
When she pushed, she was more rude, although Shen Shimei didn't fall, but the young woman's physique was too bad, so she sat directly on the ground, and after getting up, she still hid behind Shen Shimei, in her eyes, Shen Shimei's back was her only umbrella!
"Hey! Hurry up! Sun Tianba was angry, he had been rampant in this county for so long, and he had never encountered something so upsetting him.
The thugs behind him couldn't push it well, so they wanted to beat Shen Shimei away, but Shen Shiliu had long thought that these people would not be light-handed, so they kept being beaten. At this time, a thug stepped forward and raised his hand to whip her, but she also quickly raised her hand and pinched the thug's hand at once.
Du Xuanmo came out of the paint shop at this time, and Shen's father had already negotiated the price inside, and all that was left was to pack, so he came out first, and saw that there was a bully who wanted to beat Shen Pomegranate, so he immediately didn't run forward.
The thug Zhao was pinched by Shen Shimei's arm, and he wanted to break free quickly, but he broke free and found that he didn't break free!
Ay? Break free again, and don't break free!
Ay? What's crazy?
Shen Shimei has a lot of strength, and it is not a joke that he is not losing his strength, although this thug is powerful, but his strength is not as big as her!
The thug Qian and the thug Sun Li saw the thug Zhao like this, and they both scolded: "Okay? Is it too much prostitution and kidney deficiency? "As he spoke, he was going to go up and help.
Du Xuanmo had already run at this time, and with a strong rush, he knocked the thugs Zhao Qian, Sun Li and Sun Tianba aside, and then stood in front of Shen Shimei.
"Pomegranate girl, don't be afraid!" Du Xuanmo said a word and looked at the bullying five-person group in front of him.
Shen Shiliu was actually not afraid, just when she pinched the thug, she suddenly had confidence in her own force value, and she would drop ten times with one force! But seeing Du Xuanmo standing in front of her to protect herself, she was quite moved, although Du Xuanmo didn't look big, but he was quite courageous, he was a gentleman!
Sun Tianba was hit, and the fire was even bigger, so he beat Zhao Qian and Sun Li directly.
Du Xuanmo is a scholar, his courage is commendable, but his strength is insufficient, and he is a little blindsided after being beaten twice, Shen Shiliu saw that it was too miserable for this show to meet the soldiers, so he went up directly and beat the "Wang Baquan" indiscriminately, with great strength, at this time she was like a human hand-to-hand combat machine, and the bullying five-person group could only be crushed in the face of such an offensive.
Du Xuanmo was embarrassed, his nose was blue and his face was swollen from being beaten, and he had to rely on Shen Pomegranate to save himself......
"Childe, retreat first, this fat girl is full of evil spirits!" The thug Zhao has suffered a loss, and now his wrist still hurts, and if they continue to fight, they will only be beaten.
Sun Tianba also received a punch from Shen Pomegranate when he was fighting just now, and now his tears and snot are left one by one, and he can only give in in the end.
"This time, the master is generous, and the next time I meet you, I will definitely give you a good look!" Sun Tianba didn't forget to say cruel words, and then left first with the thugs Zhao Qian and Sun Li.
Shen Pomegranate felt that she was simply invincible, and she won with one enemy and five, and her body really made her happy and worried!
Du Xuanmo stepped forward and asked Shen Shimei, "You weren't hurt, were you?" ”
Shen Shiliu shook her head, her skin was rough and thick, and it didn't hurt much when she was beaten. However, Du Xuanmo's face was beaten, his eyes were a little blue, and his face was a little red and swollen, which was really embarrassing.
"Let the pomegranate girl smile." Du Xuanmo was very disappointed in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable feeling so embarrassed in front of Shen Shimei.
Shen Shiliu shook his head: "The moment you rushed out just now, you were very handsome and a man!" She has to smile and encourage, she can't let Du Xuanmo leave a shadow in her heart in the future, righteousness and courage are fine traditions, and they can't be lost like this!
Du Xuanmo looked at Shen Shiliu and smiled reluctantly, although Shen Shimei did comfort him, but he also knew that he was too weak to protect himself.
"Thank you Childe for saving me!" At this time, the young woman finally spoke up, and as soon as Shen Shiliu turned around, she saw that this girl was timid, and she almost forgot that there was such a person.
"Thank you, Childe? What about the girl? Shen Shiliu said with a wry smile, she was involved by this woman, and now people don't thank her!
Only then did the woman turn around and possess herself, and said, "Thank you girl and son for helping me!" ”
Shen Shiliu sighed, she didn't want to save her, she had to make a move because she was hard rolled in, otherwise Du Xuanmo wouldn't have made her black eyes.
"Forget it, you should hurry home!" Shen Shiliu said.
The woman nodded, and left, and after taking two steps, she didn't forget to look back, of course, Shen Shiliu was self-aware, and she definitely didn't look at her, but people looked at the handsome son Du Xuanmo.
