Du Ruo cut a few pieces of cloth according to the size of the holes in the clothes, cut the edges of the cloth a few times, and some of the edges were pulled with threads of different lengths.

She thought to herself, it was probably too idle to agree to him to do such a boring thing.

After a while, the beggar came back, put the bun on the table, and reluctantly looked away from the bun to look at the cloth in Du Ruo's hand.

"Thank you!" Du Ruo said to him.

"It's just a small favor!" He laughed twice and found a stool to sit down.

"A few days ago, I went to East Street to ask for food, and now I see a shop opened opposite this Spring Breeze Pavilion, sister, you are alone?"

"Hmm." Du Ruo glanced at him with a smile and nodded, and was very helpful to the sister he called.

She used to be a woman with her hair in a veil, but now she has her hair down when she enters the city.

He glanced at the entire shop again, and said: "From time to time, there are some bastards in the Chunfeng Pavilion on the other side who drink too much and go crazy with alcohol, and there are fights from time to time, sister, you dare to live here alone, and you are also bold." ”

"My family also comes into the city from time to time to look for me." Du Ruo said to him.

She has always been wary of people, but judging by this beggar's behavior, words and deeds, she should not be a bad person.

"I'll just ask for food on the two streets before and after here, and my sister will take care of me more in the future!" He rubbed his nose again and grinned.

Du Ruo looked at him again, and saw that his body was very thin and his complexion was white, and he didn't know if it was caused by lack of nutrition.

"Call me a little tube! We'll know each other in the future! Sister, what's your name? ”

"Okay, my surname is Du." Du Ruodao said that she was a little embarrassed to accept money when he was affectionately called by his sister......

It didn't take any special skills to sew patches, so she sewed them all over the place, quickly filling up a dozen or so holes.

"Two pennies!" Du Ruo picked up his clothes and glanced at them, and said to him.

"Okay, thank you Sister Du! It's so well sewn! Xiao Guan immediately stood up, stretched out his hand and touched it in his arms for a long time, and finally found a black money bag, took out two pennies from it and handed it to her.

Du Ruo accepted the money and said to him with a smile: "Anyway, you are also the first customer in my shop, do you want to eat steamed buns, give you one?" ”

Xiao Guan nodded hurriedly, "Eat!" After taking the bun handed over by Du Ruo, he thanked him again and again, with a happy face.

Du Ruo watched him walk out of the shop, so he lowered his head again to clean up the things on the table, but as soon as he lowered his head, he heard the sound of beating and scolding from the other side.

She followed the prestige and found two beautifully and bold girls walking out of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, and the two of them were scratching at each other and insulting each other.

"Yu Zhen'er, you slut, dare to rob my guest!" A woman in blue scolded.

"How many times did Master Cao look for you, I was tired of you, why can't I find someone else?!" The woman in the yellow dress retorted, and took the opportunity to pull the other party's hair, but her own hair was also grabbed by the other party, and she grinned in pain.

Behind them were followed by their respective maids, and the masters were beaten and scolded, so they naturally couldn't stand stupidly, so they also beat each other together, and it was difficult to separate.

A few windows were opened in the Chunfeng attic, and many people stuck out their heads to watch the excitement.

Du Ruo also walked to the door and watched with interest while eating steamed buns.

"Guan Shuangshuang is like you, can Master Cao take a fancy to you?! Still thinking that he will marry you back as a concubine? Don't be delusional! "The yellow skirt said.

"Phew! Yu Zhen'er, look in the mirror by yourself! Look at how thick the powder is on your face! Stupid and stupid! ”

"You're stupid and stupid! You're stupid and stupid! You're stupid and stupid......" The woman named Yu Zhen'er kept repeating this sentence, her sleeves faded to her upper arm, revealing a large white arm, and kept patting each other's heads.

The one called Guan Shuangshuang did not fall behind at all, spitting and pulling his hair at each other, as if the two of them were not in the same air.

The people around just watched the excitement, and only Xiaoguan ran up alone to persuade the rack.

"Stop arguing! Stop arguing! If you have something to say, it's good to say! Xiao Guan blocked the middle road, and his body was slapped by the two of them, but the next moment he was pushed away.

Du Ruo finished eating the buns, holding his chin and couldn't help laughing.

Then came out of the Spring Breeze Pavilion in a hurry, a woman with hairpins on her head, dressed in pink and willow green, walked and swayed, her skirt dragged on the ground, and there were four or five men behind her.

"Mother Yao! You're going to call the shots for me! Yu Zhen'er cried to the woman.

"Mother Yao! Both of their faces were cut by Yu Zhen'er, a slut! You've got to teach her a good lesson, or I'll pick her up!" Guan Shuangshuang complained and took the opportunity to slap Yu Zhen'er in the face.

Yao's mother glanced at her and ordered someone to pull the two apart.

"What? Yes? It's okay to mess around inside, and I'm embarrassed to run outside! Yao's mother said to the two with a cold face.

"Not her yet!"

"It's all this slut!"

The two pointed at each other.

"Let me in! I'll talk to you when I go back! Yao's mother said.

"Mother Yao won't give me justice, I won't go back!" Yu Zhen'er said.

"Humph! Next time, rob my guest, I'll pick your skin! Guan Shuangshuang crossed his eyebrows and smiled coldly, sneering as he walked towards the Spring Breeze Pavilion.

"Come back with me!" Yao's mother said to Yu Zhen'er.

"I don't reply...... I'll sit outside for a while! Yu Zhen'er wiped her tears and said, after speaking, she glanced at the opposite side, and then walked towards the shop where Du Ruo was.

Yao's mother instructed one of her subordinates: "Take care of her!" As he spoke, he led people into the Spring Breeze Pavilion again.

Du Ruo looked at the person named Yu Zhen'er walking towards his shop, so he smiled and stepped aside to let people in.

After Yu Zhen'er walked in, she sat down by herself, snorted, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, looking very embarrassed.

The people outside dispersed, and Du Ruo also raised his feet to go in, standing on the other side to sort out the unfinished things on the table.

"I'll sit with you for a while." Yu Zhen'er said.

"Well, sit down." Du Ruo sat down on another stool, and took out the scissors and pen and paper to cut and draw.

"Sew me this garment." Yu Zhen'er took off her outer robe and handed it to Du Ruo.

Du Ruo got up and took a look, probably because of the fight just now, it was torn, and the two-inch long wound, "How does the girl want to sew?" She asked.

"I can sew as much as I want, if I had thrown it away before, this dress is still in my eyes, and I want to wear it for a few more days!" She said.

Du Ruo nodded, gestured with his fingers, picked it up and took a look at the whole, the smock was yellow, and the torn place was some places up the chest, so he put the clothes aside, picked up the pen and drew on the paper, and cut an embroidery pattern with scissors.

Yu Zhen'er held the silk with tears in her eyes, and looked at her movements without saying a word.

Du Ruo said to her: "You wait a while, fortunately, it doesn't take much effort." ”

"Hmm." Yu Zhen'er nodded.

Du Ruo took out the silk thread, flipped it over to the back and looked at it, and then began to work.

After a while, she embroidered a white plum on the crack, and the gray-black plum branch happened to be covered by the crack, and there were two white plums not far away.

"That's a coincidence, I like it very much, it seems that I can wear this dress for a few more days, although your embroidery work is ordinary, but the soul!" Yu Zhen'er took her clothes and looked at them.

"Just give two pennies." Du Ruo smiled, feeling happy in his heart.

"I don't collect much, I'll introduce you to the sisters when I go back, and let them take care of your business!" Yu Zhen'er said again.

The tears on her face had dried, and her little face was much more beautiful.

"Thank you! The first time you take less! Du Ruo turned around and took a basket from the other side and put it in front of her, "Look at it, if you have a favorite embroidery, take one if you like." ”

Yu Zhen'er was very interested for a long time, sighed in her mouth, and finally took out a peony rich embroidery pattern from it, and couldn't help but take a blessing to prolong her life, "Can you have two?" Actually, I want it all, do you give it or not? Did you cut it all? ”

She turned her head to look at the pen and paper on the other side, and she had seen all the embroidery patterns she had drawn.

"I cut it, but I can only give you two." Du Ruo took the basket to the other side.

"Thank you so much, I have to go back, or I'll be scolded later, by the way, what's your name?" She stood up and asked again.

"My name is Du Ruo."

"My name is Yu Zhen'er, I'm leaving, you can go to my place another day!" After saying that, she put on her smock again and walked out, and the people from the Spring Breeze Pavilion standing outside the door also followed her.

Du Ruo stood there and thought for a while, then got up and closed the door, and walked to the backyard to collect the clothes that were drying in the yard.

Early the next morning, after Du Ruo had breakfast, he opened the door for a while, and a girl came out of the Chunfeng Pavilion with a few clothes and walked into Du Ruo's shop.

"My girl said that your embroidery work is okay, this is the clothes of a few girls in our pavilion, it's a pity to throw it away, you look at it and make up for it." The girl said.

Du Ruo recognized her as the one who helped Yu Zhen'er beat people yesterday, "Okay, you put it down, don't worry, right?" If you're not in a hurry, will you come and get it in three or four days? ”

The girl nodded, turned and walked out of the shop.

Du Ruo didn't expect the business to open like this. I went to bed early yesterday, and I got up early today, and the whole person was full of energy, and I came to business again, and I was even more excited, so I moved a stool over, sat down and took those clothes and checked them one by one.

The door was knocked on a few times, and Xiao Guan walked in with a bamboo stick, and shouted with a smile like yesterday: "Sister Du! Wake up so early! ”

"You're pretty early, too." Du Ruo glanced at him, and said in his heart that he was really familiar, which was the same as Du Ercheng.

He leaned against the door as if no one was around, took out half of the steamed bun from his body, dipped it in the soup in the bowl and ate it.

Du Ruo glanced at him again, remembered yesterday afternoon, and asked him with a smile: "Yesterday, the girls in the Spring Breeze Pavilion fought, and you still stepped forward to fight, I don't know if you want to rub oil or are you really kind?" ”

She said it casually as if she was joking, but she saw that Xiao Guan's face changed, and she was very embarrassed, and explained to her again: "The one who is called and called Guan Shuangshuang...... It's my sister...... Sister ......"

Du Ruo suddenly felt embarrassed, stopped his movements and said, "I'm sorry! Sorry, I don't know. ”

"It's okay!" Xiaoguan smiled, picked up the bamboo stick next to him, looked at her again, and wanted to say something, but walked out again.

Du Ruo sat there stunned for a while before continuing his work.

After a while, two more came in from outside, and one said to her, "Isn't this the little lady of that day?" ”

Du Ruo turned her head and saw that the person who came was the eldest lady she saw on the day she entered the city, and the person who was with her today was about her father-in-law.

She put down her clothes, stood up with a smile and said, "Yes, it's a coincidence that we met again!" ”

"You...... This...... Are you married? The woman looked at her loose hair suspiciously, and asked, "We live in the alley behind here, behind your house!" I haven't lived here for two or three years, and in the past two days I've seen a fire and someone cooking, so come over and take a look! ”

"Auntie, sit down!" Du Ruo hurriedly sat down and poured tea for the two of them.

"Hey! What a coincidence, just call me Aunt Ding, your family is doing business here? How many people are in the family? I thought you were married! ”

Du Ruo smiled, still half true and half false: "I live here, but my family also comes often." ”

"So, aren't you afraid of your daughter's family alone?" Aunt Ding and Uncle Ding glanced at each other and then looked at her.

"I've been bold since I was a child." Du Ruo also sat down.

"In the future, we will all be neighbors, what is there to find me and your aunt, a girl's strange and pitiful! It's not easy! Uncle Ding coughed a few times and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll rely on you to take care of it in the future!" Du Ruo said politely.

The two of them sat for a long time without any intention of leaving, and gossiped with Du Ruo.

Du Ruo thought to himself that it was probably a new neighbor, and they wanted to know better. When asked what he said, Du Ruo picked what he could say, and said it in a few words that he couldn't say.

"I'll tell you the truth with your uncle, it's not safe for a girl to live here by herself." Aunt Ding took her sign and said earnestly.

"Thank you for your concern, but I've paid the rent, and I can't get it back, so let's live first."

"You can hear something shouting across the wall, in case something happens, Miss Du, you can call someone, we won't ignore you." Uncle Ding also said.

"Thank you, Uncle Ding!" Du Ruo's defense in his heart gradually decreased, and he was a little moved in his heart, it seemed that they were really kind.

There was a commotion outside the room, and from far and near, it seemed that many people were gradually coming from the other side of the street.

"What's going on out there?" Aunt Ding asked.

"Who knows, the market is early, and it's chaotic in broad daylight!" Uncle Ding stood up and walked to the door and looked out.

Du Ruo also looked at the door suspiciously.

Uncle Ding beckoned and said to the two: "It's the officers and soldiers escorting the prisoners!" ”

Du Ruo and Aunt Ding also hurriedly walked to the door. Du Ruo walked out and stood on the side of the street, looking at the prisoner cart slowly coming from the other side, escorted by many officers and soldiers, and the noisy crowd on both sides.

As the officers and soldiers approached the prisoner car, Du Ruo saw clearly that the woman locked on the first prisoner car was Qin Rui.
