Chapter 152: It's rare to have a lover
"Left hand." After He Angelica smiled and said the answer, he directly poured a glass of wine and handed it to Liao Qing'er, as if he was confident in his judgment.
Liao Qing'er spread out her left hand incredulously, and a small porcelain figure the size of a broad bean was lying quietly in her palm, and she couldn't help but pout: "How did you do it, how can you guess it every time, do you have a special function?" Is it a clairway eye or something? Hey, in that case, let's go to the gambling house! β
He Angelica elegantly picked up the little porcelain figure with his fingers, played with his fingertips, and explained to her: "It's you who can't hide things yourself, every time you hide in your left hand, your eyes are slightly slanted to your right hand, and the middle finger of your left fist is a little more concave than your right fist, as if you are afraid that the villain inside will fly away." See-through eye? You mean I can guess things from the partition? Oh, I do know a person with such skills, but every time he carries his silver and skills into the gambling house, he comes back with a blue nose and swollen face, and comes out empty-handed, the gambling house is a place to eat silver, do you think people will win by you? If you win six games in a row, someone will come to you to 'talk'. β
"Awesome!" Liao Qing'er picked a fallen leaf on He Angelica's bun and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to be able to read minds, or the kind that is self-taught, you can know what others think with a small detail of a movement and a look, I think we can really go to the gambling house to get two votes, anyway, you have martial arts, and it is okay to repair a few thugs." When the time comes, let's win a few hundred taels and the wind will be tight, I will open the way with the silver, how about you break off? β
"Shhh-" He Danggui saw Guan Zhan, Wu Yuying, Niu Wenbao and Qi Mu'er sitting on the stone platform not far from them, and hurriedly stopped Liao Qing'er in a low voice, "Qing'er, don't always talk about my martial arts, practicing martial arts is for physical fitness and self-defense, the Luo family doesn't know that I am secretly practicing martial arts, don't promote it to me." β
"Understood!" Liao Qing'er joked, "After Meng Xuan, Duan Xiaolou, and Old Man Zhu, the fourth taboo word appeared-know martial arts, hey, why don't we open Song Caizi's letter and take a look?" The mysterious has been telling you to read it carefully, what is written in it. β
He Angelica poured himself a drink and said: "No, if you want to read it, go back and read it, every time you open it in public, you will read it out loud, and people are also letters written with a sincere heart, so you can't trample on it like this." β
Liao Qing'er pouted: "Cut, there is a Mao sincerity, every letter is to praise your little face for scaring the fish to death, Yan, saying how much they admire you and how sincere, but in the end they unanimously asked to marry you as a concubine!" Ancient men were really greedy, let's just say that Wen Han, he wanted to marry a noble girl who was in the right household, and he wanted to get a few beauties to put at home to be pleasing to the eye, and the second wife was so blatant, it was outrageous. That Duan Xiaolou is good, I am willing to marry you as a wife, but I have been entangled with my cousin Guan Yun for three days, I really don't understand what his psychology is, I obviously love you so much that I can immediately go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I want to open my mouth to persuade you to accept his proposal, who knew that as soon as I turned around, I saw him wiping Guan Yun's tears around the corner......"
"It's easy to ask for priceless treasures, it's rare to have a lover, Duan Gongzi is a good person, I am very happy for Miss Guan, and I believe that she is a good match for Duan Gongzi, this topic ends here." He Angelica quickly finished speaking, and then asked, "You just said 'get a few beauties to put at home', is it possible that the unwritten son also handed a letter to others?" β
Liao Qing'er slanted her eyes to the left to look at the group of people, and said in her ear: "Isn't it Qi Mu'er, the new little white rabbit princess from our academy, the illegitimate daughter of the big salt merchant." At noon the day before yesterday, I saw Wen Han blocking her in the racecourse of the back mountain, the little white rabbit lowered his head and went to the left, Wen Han went to the left column, the little white rabbit went to the right with a red face, Wen Han went to the right column again, the little white rabbit turned around, Wen Han also turned around and jumped in front of her, and the two of them had a lot of fun...... Tsk, it's good to be young. β
He Angelica's face was impassive, but a smile seeped into his eyes: "Why are you so prejudiced against Miss Qi, and she hasn't provoked you." β
Liao Qing'er pouted and said sullenly: "Didn't I tell you, before I came here, I was robbed by my fiancΓ© by my father's concubine's daughter, and I squatted in the public toilet and cried bitterly before I accidentally walked through." Later, I tried to cry in your public toilet here, but I couldn't put it back no matter how much I cried, alas, my wife over there and my savings...... So I hate the concubine's daughter the most in my life, and that Qi Mu'er is very good at pretending at a glance. Finding He Angelica's thoughtful expression on his face, Liao Qing'er hurriedly waved her hand and explained, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean you!" In my eyes, you are not the daughter of a concubine at all, but the most authentic Miss He, as for your mother to marry again, it is more ordinary, I often encouraged my mother to go online to ask for a marriage in my last life. β
He Danggui came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm nothing, I just thought of something else just now, by the way, Qing'er, do you know the two girls over there, the two who wore the same style of flower embroidered skirt and wrapped around the arms of the pink veil." β
"Oh, it seems to be the two sisters of the Qian family, I can't remember what it is called peach blossom apricot blossom or peony flower, but we are all familiar with this Qian family, it is the Qian family, the nouveau riche who opened Fengfu Restaurant and Fengfu Brothel on South Street, and we are considered to be three points of enmity among our peers, always plagiarizing the idea of our Yihong Courtyard, and I really want to go to the bustard over there." And do you know what this Qian family started on? Back then, in Zhenjiang, it was their family who bought Sister Pearl's restaurant and house, and when they changed hands, they made a net profit of 800 taels of silver! β
Liao Qing'er angrily took her fingers to pick out her nostrils, He Angelica hurriedly grabbed the fan on the side to cover her face, and said with a smile: "Nearly 100 sons on the other side are looking at us here with their eyes open, you are also pretending to be a lady, weren't you a 'female master' when you were over there?" Isn't that equivalent to the university scholars we have here? Put on your official appearance, don't you want to 'hang Kaizi'. β
Liao Qing'er burst out laughing, and said happily: "I'm messy, what kind of official is a female master!" The aunt who looks at the toilet also brings a three-bar bar, I am a perennial squatting biochemistry laboratory team leader, the last time I mentioned a bachelor's degree to you, it means that my professional knowledge is equivalent to your bachelor's degree here, in essence, I am still a grass people! Besides, those great talents and great poets on the other side of the river are all looking at you, and it is estimated that they have assimilated the big bluestone under my ass and the two of us, and no one even notices whether I am flat or round...... Hmm, Xiaoyi, you don't have to feel guilty, I'm used to being a green leaf, and Sister Pearl's experience has inspired me, strong women also have spring, and my spring will come sooner or later. I just want to find a young husband like Lu Zhizhou who is honest and has the final say in everything. β
This "pearl" is the real pearl master of the water business view of the day, more than two years ago she also came to Yangzhou, in a government orphan shelter to do a cook, and then once she took a few babies to the "Quanjitang" to see a doctor when she happened to meet He Angelica and Liao Qinger.
He Angelica and her are old friends reunited, Liao Qinger and her are at first sight, the three of them talked, she has been renamed "Qin Pearl" she told her what happened before she became a monk, and said that she thought about He Angelica's persuasion proverbs before leaving for a few months, and felt that when the dead wood also had spring, she should come out more to see the sunny place. When he learned that He Angelica and Liao Qinger were doing business in partnership and were eager to find investors, Pearl took out his 1,000 taels of silver to make up a share, so that Liao Qinger and the others could scrape together enough money from Zuixianglou and successfully opened Yihong Courtyard.
And after becoming a "major shareholder", Pearl still works in an orphanage shelter most of the time, cooking hot soup and hot meals for the babies, until a year ago, she met Lu County Order, who tried the "suing husband case" there. Since Wei Zhizhou absconded from Yangzhou, Lu County, who had a good official reputation, moved to Yangzhou to fill this vacancy, so he has become an official to Lu Zhizhou.
Lu Zhizhou also went to visit the children in the orphanage, but he unexpectedly saw Qiu Ping, who had evaporated from the world for seven years, and was pleasantly surprised, he confided in the old story that when he was chasing her in the carriage, he accidentally fell off the horse and broke his leg and could not continue to chase, afraid that she would not believe it, and opened his robe and rolled up his pants on the spot, showing the old injury on his leg.
He confessed affectionately that during the trial of the case for more than two months, she lived in the guest room of the county office, sat by the well every night and combed her hair to the moon, and he quietly leaned against the wall to watch her from afar, hoping that the case would end early. He couldn't chase it, couldn't find it, looked at the moon and thought alone, tossing and turning...... He is still waiting for her, and he has not yet had a wife and a concubine at the age of nearly thirty.
Pearl is three years older than this Lu Zhizhou, she is an ordinary girl, and she has been married for seven years, although she also secretly admires Lu Zhizhou, but the world's eyes make her unable to move forward. The relationship between the two was as deadlocked as it was seven years ago.
In the end, Liao Qinger learned about this, and He Angelica made a little trick together, so that Sister Pearl hugged Lu Zhizhou's "corpse" and cried and expressed her feelings for him, and Lu Zhizhou, who was sealed by He Angelica, was overjoyed, so after the acupoint was dissolved, this pair of lovers who broke through the shackles of the world finally tied the knot, and now Pearl is three months pregnant, and she is concentrating on sitting at home embroidering and having a baby.
"Qing'er, you said that you want to marry a rich man at one time, you say you want to marry a beautiful man at one time, and you say you want to find a little husband at one time, it's hard to imagine that there will be a man with all three in this world, I advise you to lower your standards," He Angelica teased, "In our place, it is very strange that a woman has not decided to marry after the age of twenty-two, and if she does not marry after the age of twenty-six, she will have to pay three times the poll tax to the government, and everyone else will look at the tax payer like a monster with long horns." You are now nineteen years old, don't be picky, and finally pick a 'three-no man'. β
"Who said I'm looking for a three-in-one? Miss Ben is talking about finding three ministers, the first minister is used to pay the bills, the second minister is used to sleep and take out to go shopping and eat, and the third is ...... Well, number three is used as a punching bag to vent! Liao Qing'er raised her head, thought about it with fascination, and saw He Angelica's expression twitching, she protested, "What are you doing, you are laughing at me?" Don't forget, I'm a rich sister with a net worth of more than 20,000 taels now, of course, I have to get past their addiction of rich men hugging left and right, and give our women a round of eyebrows. Look, look, lookβ"
Liao Qing'er snorted towards the other side of the river, and motioned for He Angelica to look, "That Wen Han, who has teased the little white rabbit, is now shocking you with Chiguoguo's ambiguous eyes, it's so shameless!" To be honest, I really envy you a little, rubbing your face with a layer of yellow, and changing your eyes to thicken your lips, you are still a beauty. Tsk, if you continue to develop like this, even if you paint your face red Guan Gong and black Zhang Fei next year, you won't be able to hide your beauty that can scare fish and geese to death, why don't I stick two scars for you, just say that you are disfigured! β
"Okay," He Angelica nodded, "In that case, Sun Meiniang will be so happy that she can't sleep." β
Liao Qing'er's two unpainted cigarette cages frowned and said, "Strange, why is your second aunt so bad to you alone?" If I hadn't hidden behind the screen and seen her sinister face when she was behind you, I would have thought she was a good person, like a shrewd working woman, warm and thoughtful to everyone, and exquisite. β
He Angelica didn't want to reveal more about those ugly and dark truths, but simply said: "She regards me as a natural enemy, and I hate her to the core, in the face of such hatred, the reason has faded." β
"Hey, you two don't talk patronizingly!" Mr. Zheng's breathless voice sounded in the distance, "It's time for you two!" The finger pointed at He Angelica and the two of them.
Only then did they notice that the original wooden wine glass flowed down with the water and stopped in front of the two of them, so Liao Qing'er took the water cup and drank it up according to their previous division of labor arrangement. When He Danggui was about to write two limerick poems to deal with the past, Liao Qing'er heard that the topics were "snowflakes" and "falling flowers", and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she jumped up with a hand raised and said, "I have it!" I have it! I got it! The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting...... Hmm, I remember! Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test...... Well, there are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists...... This is a snowflake, a falling flower, a flower is full of flowers, and the red incense is broken...... Now that the slave family is digging a pit to bury flowers, who will dig a pit and bury me in his year...... Uh, that's all, thanks! He bowed to the other side.
He Angelica was crooked by her ass when she jumped up, and after she sat down again, He Angelica's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, this, what is this death-like silence.
Unaware, Liao Qing'er poured the last bit of the bottom of their wine pot into the wooden cup, and found that only one bottom of the cup was poured, and there were some turbid plum slags, so she waved at Guan Zhan, Wu Yuying and others downstream and shouted: "I'm sorry that this pot of wine has been drunk by us!" Pour it yourself when you drink it, and I'll wash your cup!" So saying, he scribbled the wooden cup in the stream, took some plum dregs, and took half a cup of stream water, and released the wooden cup.
Liao Qing'er happily sat back on the stone platform and asked He Angelica: "He Cainu, how are my two poems doing?" Am I good? β
He Angelica was ashamed and said: "I was accidentally knocked down by you just now, so I didn't pay attention to it, do you want to drink?" I'll go get another jug, it looks like they're handing out snacks. I don't know if it's her delusion, but now all the long-eyed animals by the stream, including people, birds, frogs, and cats, are staring at them, and this time, she seems to have made a green leaf to set off Qing'er.
Liao Qing'er waved her hand and laughed heartily: "Snacks? I don't eat it! You also keep your stomach and don't eat indiscriminately, you forgot, tonight we (Yihong Courtyard) are going to hang a new red card girl, and we have to (women dressed as men) to cheer her on. He Angelica covered her mouth twice in a row in a little fright, blocking the key words, the two of them are the "behind-the-scenes" bosses of Yihong Courtyard! It's top secret of top secrets! Now everyone in the audience can hear her loud voice!
Liao Qinger waved her hand at everyone like a star and shouted: "Thank you for your attention, I'm relatively low-key, I want to sign an autograph and come to me privately!" Go on, go on! β
After a while, after everyone continued, Liao Qing'er continued the topic just now: "Xiaoyi, your grandfather's family is not good to you, you still have a biological father, why don't you go and find him?" I know the He family in the capital, his family has a pharmacist hall, which is very rich and has a simple population, one of your aunts married into the Ling Mansion and died for a long time, and the other aunt entered the palace to be the Jieyu of the old man Zhu. In addition to the two of them, there is only your grandmother and father in Hefu, oh, it's wrong, it's your father, and there is a stepmother and a pair of younger siblings, the environment is much simpler than your Luodong Mansion, and life is relatively easy. The most important thing is that you should go to your father to get back your identity as a concubine, your mother has been his wife, and you are a concubine? With the hat of a concubine, you will marry low in the future! β
He Angelica poked the delicate little porcelain figure the size of broad beans with his fingertips, shook his head lightly and said: "I like to live in Luofu, I just want to see those people in Luofu every day, and I won't go anywhere." β
"Why?" Liao Qing'er said strangely, "How can anyone find abuse by themselves?" Do you have a pimple in your heart about your biological father and can't save face? Don't worry, I have experience in this kind of thing in my last life, my old bean didn't want us two for a long time, he was a real estate boss, and he got a dozen concubines before they divorced at that time, which is an immoral behavior on our side. My mother was angry and didn't want to ask him for money, so she took me to live a hard life, and he never came to see us. Later, I saved enough money for the long-distance bus piece by piece, so I took the car to our capital by myself, I was only twelve years old at that time, and after getting off the long-distance bus, I had lost a dime, so I went to our catcher, and told him that I was a runaway from home, ready to learn badly, and suddenly lost my way, and now I wanted to go home but did not know the way, and gave them the address of my old bean, so they sent someone to send me there. β
"What happened later, how did your father react?" He Angelica rubbed the little porcelain man.
Liao Qing'er raised her eyebrows: "What else can you react?" Of course, I'm happy, no matter how stiff the adults are, how can the flesh and blood relationship between father and daughter be broken? Although I didn't have any affection for him, he immediately burst into tears when he saw the thick eyebrows and big eyes carved out of the mold between me and him, and then saw me dressed like a meal. I called him dad, he gave me a big house to live in and gave me money to spend, and then I saved 10,000 yuan, I took the money back to my mother, and waited until the summer vacation to go, and made another amount of money, I used his money to go to college and study for a master's degree - why don't I use my father's money? If you don't need it, he will spend it all on his concubine. As long as you can wipe your face and call him twice, what kind of identity, silver, that beautiful uncle He Jingxian will give it to you! β
He Angelica still shook his head: "My situation is different from yours, the Luo family doesn't want to see me at most, and the He family's attitude towards me is probably described as 'hateful', and the He family will not accept me." β
