Chapter 37: Planning
Song Yaoyao drank a shallow amount of wine, and after only drinking two glasses, he was a little upset, and excitedly knocked the cup on the table, and said: "Xiao Zhu, let me tell you, as far as your experience and this absolute male number one have not run, you will definitely have a big opportunity in the future, and when you get ahead and become a master, you can choose the beauties of the world, what is a young lady." ”
Zhu Jingxing saw that she began to run the train with her mouth full of mouth, and she was embarrassed not to give her this face, so she raised her glass and thanked: "Then borrow the shopkeeper's auspicious words." ”
Song Yaoyao shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't forget me when the time comes." ”
Zhu Jingxing watched her talk more and more excessively, knowing that she was drunk, he couldn't help laughing, the amount of alcohol in this shopkeeper was too bad.
Song Yaoyao patted Feng Liang next to him and asked, "Xiao Feng, what about you, what's the situation at home?" ”
Feng Liang saw that everyone said it, and he was embarrassed to hide it, and said: "My mother died when I was eight years old, and in addition to my father, there is a sister who is four years younger than me. Not long after my mother passed away, my father continued the strings, and my stepmother gave birth to a boy and a girl, and the family had a hard time, my eldest brother was fifteen years old this year, and when he reached the grade of kissing, the family could not afford the dowry, and the stepmother asked my father to sell my sister to a landlord to be his eighth aunt. ”
Song Yaoyao was furious: "What kind of parents is this, sure enough, if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather, and you have no conscience." ”
Speaking of sadness, Feng Liang's eyes were filled with tears, and he said: "The shopkeeper, I won't hide it from you, my stepmother let go of the words, if she can make up enough 20 taels of silver a month as a dowry, she will not sell my sister, as long as the shopkeeper can save my sister, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for the shopkeeper in this life." ”
Song Yaoyao patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I will settle the money for you if you sell rouge, and when the time comes, you will take your sister out and go alone, and you won't have to suffer from their birds." ”
Feng Liang wiped the corners of his eyes and nodded.
poured out their own experiences, and listened to the experiences of others, the four of them suddenly felt that the depression in their hearts dissipated a lot, people live, who is not difficult, and the relationship between the four of them is also much closer.
Feng Liang even felt that Zhu Jingxing was not so annoying.
Although Zhu Jingxing was also a little drunk, he still remembered the matter, and said: "Shopkeeper, I heard that in ten days, Hejian Mansion, the capital of Wanzhou, will hold a competition to select an Oiran. ”
Although Song Yaoyao was drunk, but his mind was still sober at this time, and when he heard him say this, he suddenly came to his senses and said: "You are right, let's also go and see the excitement, Hejian Mansion is the state capital, it must be very prosperous, only 1,000 boxes of rouge, it must be sold." ”
Immediately, the decision was made, and I went to Hejian Mansion.
Everyone discussed when to leave, and Zhu Jingxing said: "The selection of Oiran is an annual event, but I am afraid that we will have to go earlier, otherwise we will not even be able to arrive at the inn at that time." ”
Song Yaoyao nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it makes sense, it makes sense, since we will set off the day after tomorrow, I have to go back and settle my father for a while, and then explain to my family." ”
Zhu Jingxing nodded and said, "Exactly, Feng Liang also has to go back and explain to his family." ”
The four of them agreed on the route again, and gathered at the gate of the city the day after tomorrow, and Zhu Jingxing booked a carriage to pick them up and went directly to Hejian Mansion.
Full of wine and food, everyone went to their respective homes, Song Yaoyao was drunk, and she walked a little crookedly, Xiuwen had to help her go back to Fanglin Pavilion to sober up first.
Before he arrived at the door of Fanglin Pavilion, he saw a person standing at the door of the store waiting from a distance, and Xiuwen immediately recognized that it was Xue Xingzhou.
Xue Xingzhou also saw them, and hurriedly greeted them, and when he saw Song Yaoyao's cheeks red and drunk, he knew that she had drunk too much.
frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
Xiuwen said: "My Lady recruited two guys, which suited her very much, so she took everyone down to the restaurant, and drank a few more glasses happily at the banquet." ”
Xue Xingzhou looked at Song Yaoyao and said helplessly: "Cheng shopkeeper, you look at the store, I'll send my aunt back." ”
Xiuwen knew that the two were close, so he didn't hesitate to entrust Song Yaoyao to Xue Xingzhou, and went to call a carriage to send the two back.
On the carriage on the way back, Song Yaoyao took Xue Xingzhou's hand and told him everything he had seen and heard today.
Because his brain was not very clear, he didn't match the words before and after his speech, but Xue Xingzhou still listened carefully, and responded with two sentences from time to time.
When he arrived at the bamboo house, Song Yaoyao still grabbed Xue Xingzhou's shoulder and shouted: "Confidant, confidant, you have a confidant in life, and you will die without regrets." ”
Old man Sun came out and saw the two of them hugging each other, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and after seeing Song Yaoyao looking like a drunk, he pointed at Xue Xingzhou and scolded: "Xue Xingzhou, you are too much, in order to eat people girl tofu, you also drunk people." ”
Xue Xingzhou knew that he was deliberately finding fault, and he didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he helped Song Yaoyao into the house and lay down, so he came out to say goodbye.
Old man Sun muttered: "I can't usually rush away, why did I leave so hurriedly today, reincarnated." ”
Song Yaoyao slept and didn't wake up until the third pole of the moon.
In my mind, I vaguely remember that Xue Xingzhou sent him back, and I don't know if I drank too much and went crazy.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that the smell of alcohol was really uncomfortable, so I wanted to go out and take a shower.
When I arrived at the main hall, I saw a burden on the low table, and the burden was opened, and a few clothes were placed in it.
It's not unusual to have clothes, but there are also women's outfits that make Song Yaoyao curious.
I was even more surprised when I looked at Song Yaoyao closely, the materials of these clothes are excellent, especially the two sets of women's clothes, which are made of the best woven cloud brocade, and there are large pieces of embroidery on the skirt, Song Yaoyao can see that even if she doesn't understand female red, this embroidery is much better than the peach branch.
Song Yaoyao thought that there was only one woman in this bamboo house, could it be for herself? Who are these two men's clothes for, and my father and Dr. Sun can't wear them.
After watching it for a while, I went to take a bath, no matter who it was for, I will know tomorrow when I ask Dr. Sun.
Early the next morning, before Song Yaoyao had finished cooking, Xue Xingzhou came with a small burden in his hand.
Recently, Xue Xingzhou has been running diligently, and Song Yaoyao has been surprised, and said hello: "Brother Xue, you are here, the meal will be ready immediately." ”
Xue Xingzhou nodded and said, "I brought you something, I'll show you after eating." ”
Song Yaoyao was curious, although Xue Xingzhou took good care of himself, it was the first time he gave himself a gift, and he was a little curious.
I just couldn't pull away, so I thanked him first.
Waiting until everyone finished eating, Xue Xingzhou opened the baggage, it was a carved mahogany box, the workmanship was extremely exquisite, Song Yaoyao looked very fond of it.
Xue Xingzhou handed the box to Song Yaoyao and said, "Open it and take a look." ”
Song Yaoyao said in his heart, it turned out that it was not a box.
Yiyan opened it and was surprised.
In the box are some women's jewelry, the number is not much, but the variety is quite complete, not only beads, but also rings and earrings, just look at the workmanship of the materials to know that the price is expensive.
Other Song Yaoyao don't understand, just say that the pair of single hairpins, the hairpin body is made of pure gold, and the pearls inlaid with the hairpin head are the size of a dragon's eye, even if they are not in the sun, the pearls are glowing with a faint luster.
This box of jewelry, I'm afraid I can't take it down if I don't have four or five hundred taels.
