Chapter 63: The Ugly Beggar

Clouds shrouded the capital for several days, and finally a heavy rain fell all night, which is not a bad thing, at least to relieve the dry air in the capital.

Zhang Zhouyun took over a job a few days ago to make a set of paper sedan chairs. The sedan chair is one of the traditional means of transportation in old Beijing, and the one carried by two people is called "two-person sedan chair", and the four-person sedan chair is called "four-person sedan chair"; If more than eight people carry it, it is called a large sedan chair, such as "eight lifting sedan chairs".

The sedan chair has a symbol of official rank in ancient times, and the flat-headed people can't sit on a sedan chair carried by more than four people even if they are rich, but after death, they burn a paper eight-lift sedan chair, which no one cares.

Zhang Zhouyun can often receive the work of paper cows and horses paper sedan chairs, but this time the twelve people in the city longevity material store set a large sedan chair, which is estimated to be a large family that is not bad for money, although it is a paper sedan chair, but it has to be tied according to the normal rate, and it takes a lot of time.

I've been busy working for days, but due to a heavy rain last night, a lot of rainwater has accumulated in the potholes in the small courtyard. He had no choice but to take all the tied parts to the house and put them, and the small hut was very full, Kiko didn't say anything, and helped him clean up.

Although Zhang Zhouyun was busy with work at hand, he had been secretly looking at Xizi from the corner of his eye. After meeting the dirty beggar at the door of the teahouse that day, he was thinking about it on the way home, and suddenly remembered something when he entered the house. When he was a teenager at the dock in Tianjin, it was true that a neighbor had moved away many years ago, but he remembered that there was only one boy in the neighbor's house who liked to fight, and there was no little girl named Xizi at all, but he was afraid that what the dirty beggar said was true.

After returning home, the more Zhang Zhouyun thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, his eyes changed when he looked at Xizi, with a trace of fear in his doubts, he wanted to ask Xizi very directly, who are you, but he didn't have the guts, and he was faintly reluctant in his heart.

The days passed day by day, and finally the twelve people carried the paper sedan chair in the deadline. Early in the morning, I went to the longevity store in the city to call someone to help move away, and I followed. This is a big item, and the money collected is quite a lot, so I found a tavern nearby and planned to drink him for a day, but I didn't know that I met a few plague gods today.

There are so many officials in the yamen of the capital who drag their relationship in, relying on their own backstage, they often eat and drink on credit and do not give money, and a group of people drink too much and often make trouble. When the restaurant opens and sees them, it's like seeing a plague god, they can't hide or hide, and they can't do anything about them because of the itchy teeth of everyone's hatred.

Zhang Zhouyun is an honest man, and he has never sinned against the officials, but he didn't know that he was drinking his own wine, and he was targeted by that group of idlers.

The officials have a nickname called Wang Bald, I heard that this person seems to have been a bandit when he was young, with a bald head full of scars on his head, and he is full of gangsterism. I don't know why I didn't like Zhang Zhouyun today, and gave a look to the four officials who were drinking around him, and everyone looked at Zhang Zhouyun together, and then laughed.

Zhang Zhouyun didn't know why they were laughing, and he didn't bother to drink his own wine. After everyone laughed for a while, Wang Bald drank a bowl of soju, grinned spicy, and waved his hand to greet Zhang Zhouyun, "Who is that over there, you come here!" After speaking, he patted the empty chair next to him and motioned for Zhang Zhouyun to come over and sit.

Seeing that the gang was drunk and full of nonsense, and heard Wang Bald glaring at him, he had to go to the table and drink a few bowls of wine before leaving, but as soon as he stood up, he was grabbed by the collar and pressed back by Wang Bald.

The bald man was also drunk, and his face was red and his eyes were red and he said, "What? Where are you going? Shall I let you go! Hey, that's right! I remember you, you are the kid who did white things, I saw the paper man you tied that day, and you will run away after burning, you tell us how to get it. "

Zhang Zhouyun was a little headache from Wang Bald's mouth full of wine, leaned back a little and said: "Several officials, this is all a craft taught by my father, I just mean this to earn a mouthful of food, presumably several officials will not want to listen to such clumsy skills, and smiled." ”

Wang Bald didn't listen to Zhang Zhouyun at all, he held Zhang Zhouyun's shoulders, put his feet on the table and bragged to the officials how many faces he had in the official master, and the officials heard this and hurriedly patted his ass and said: "Yes, that's right, the lord of the yamen has to be polite when he sees our brother Wang." ”

This group of singles bragged about something together, and after a few words, they began to talk about whose mother-in-law was beautiful, and the bald man poured down a sip of wine, squinted his drunken eyes and said, "What are those mothers-in-law you are talking about?" It's all yellow-faced women! How can there be a good look. "

After saying this, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Zhang Zhouyun on the side: "Hey, brother?" Who was the girl who was going to the market with you that day? That girl is so beautiful, isn't that your sister? If you don't have a mother-in-law's family, I'll marry my uncle, and I won't lose her by eating and drinking spicy food in the future, don't you say? After speaking, he bared his big teeth and a few people around him.

Zhang Zhouyun didn't speak, but when he heard Wang Bald say this, he knew that he was referring to Xizi, and Zhang Zhouyun, who had always been honest, was angry at that time and shouted at Wang Bald; "That's my daughter-in-law!" Then he dropped the wine bowl and wanted to leave.

Seeing that Zhang Zhouyun was angry and wanted to leave, Wang Bald laughed instead of being annoyed, and then raised his foot, kicked Zhang Zhouyun to the ground, and kicked him in the stomach a few times.

"What are you? I dare to stumble in front of my uncle, and I don't weigh my own pounds! ”

Several officials on the side saw that Wang Bald was moving, and they all followed to fight Zhang Zhouyun. The shopkeepers in the store didn't dare to take care of it, for fear that they would smash their own shop, so they could only hide in the stove house and peek.

The bald man drank too much, and his heart was even more ruthless, and he raised his foot to stomp on Zhou Yun's head, and saw that the sole of the shoe stepped on his head, but he stomped on it. Turning his head to look, he didn't know when there was a dirty beggar lying on the ground, and it was he who dragged Zhang Zhouyun a few inches and just dodged it.

The bald king was furious and scolded: "When did a stinky flower come in?" Looking for death, you? After speaking, he raised his foot and was about to kick the dirty beggar again, but before he could lift his leg, he was dragged by the four servants behind him.

One of the officials leaned into the heart of the bald man and whispered, "Oh, Brother Wang, you can't fight!" This is an ugly beggar in the capital, who dares to touch him and is going to have an accident! ”

Wang Bald knows how to drink all day long, where has he heard of any ugly beggars, pushed away a few people behind him, and shouted: "It's really your mother and a bunch of grandchildren, and you can still make a stinky flower child scared like this, all of them dodge!" I'd like to see what this Hanako is capable of. ”

After speaking, he shook his body and walked to the front of Hanako and squatted down, and the dirty beggar also raised to look at him, and after the two looked at each other silently for a few seconds, the dirty beggar grinned, and exhaled such a foul smell from his mouth, almost smoking.

The bald man sat on the ground, and was about to curse with the strength of the wine, when suddenly a dirty black hand reached into his mouth, and two fingers were still between his tongue.
