Chapter 48 Helping the Needy
The two of them slipped out of the back door of the county lord's mansion, and through the remote alley, they saw the street where people came and went. (Biqu Pavilion)
The streets are lined with shops, flags are displayed, and some people have phoenix trees planted in front of their homes, and when the flowers of the phoenix trees are in full bloom, the canopy of the trees seems to be paved with a layer of red, brilliant and dazzling, like a big red butterfly of a tree. The phoenix flowers blooming all over the street illuminate the whole street red. The breeze blows, and the red phoenix petals flutter in the air and scatter all over the ground, like a bright red carpet.
Ziwei saw the petals falling on her body, and casually twisted the petals and put them in her hands to admire, a phoenix flower was like a small flame reflecting the white and red of her little hands, igniting the flame in her heart: "Hehehe, it feels so good to go to the street!" ”
She blew on the petals, and the petals floated out of her hands, and her heart was full of joy, and her heart flew with the petals.
Xiaomei followed the county lord and looked around at the excitement, this is also a look, that is also a look, "The county lord is really lively." ”
Ziwei knocked her head with a fan and corrected: "Call me Childe"
Xiaomei covered her mouth, looked around at the pedestrians in a hurry, no one paid attention to them, she breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately changed into a flattering smile to learn from the waiter's appearance, and bowed her waist: "Childe, remember the little one, Childe is here, please." ”
They wander around the bustling streets, and when they see something interesting, they want to see the bustle.
"Sell gourds, fragrant and crispy gourds are sold cheaply!" There were loud shouts from the crowd in front.
Xiaomei heard the shouting, swallowed her saliva, pointed to the gourd seller and said to the county lord, "The county ...... Oh, Childe, the little one is going to buy you rock sugar gourds to eat, okay? ”
Ziwei remembered that there are also rock sugar gourds sold in modern snacks, and I haven't eaten rock sugar gourds for a long time, and I really miss modern snacks a little. Buy two skewers to eat to relieve homesickness: "Xiaomei went to buy two skewers of rock sugar gourds." ”
Xiaomei happily ran to buy a few strings of rock sugar gourds, and the master and servant ate them while walking on the street, attracting passers-by to watch frequently.
People have speculated that this is whose son's son is so outstanding, informal, and even so chic in eating.
Some people also showed a look of disdain, looking at his dress, he was definitely a rich boy, greedy and insulting on the street.
Ziwei ignored everyone's strange gazes, and ate while walking, which made her look different.
She turned her head and glanced at Xiaomei: "Why don't you finish eating."
Xiaomei saw that everyone was looking at them with different expressions, and embarrassedly put away the rock sugar gourd and wrapped it in a handkerchief: "Gong...... Childe, I'm full, and I'll keep the rest for later. ”
Ziwei smiled and didn't persuade again, thinking about it in a slight turn; In modern times, it has long become a sight on the street for young people to eat and go shopping at the same time. However, in ancient times, it became a manifestation of humiliation, which is the conflict between ancient and modern lifestyles and ideas, this conflict cannot cross the barriers of time and space for thousands of years and achieve integration, when it cannot be broken, it can only be integrated in this era as much as possible.
Ziwei breathed a long sigh of relief and took Xiaomei's hand and melted into the flow of people.
With the flow of people, she came to a stall and stopped, looking at the stall and feeling a very familiar feeling, the stall was placed with some low-quality daily necessities, including needles and threads, scissors, brushes, headdresses, and neck ornaments.
It is estimated that no one patronized his stall for a day, and a middle-aged man who was dressed very old and patched, but cleaned up very neatly, leaned against the tree with a tired expression, staring at the pharmacy in front of him in a daze.
A shadow fell on his body, obscuring the vision in front of him, the stall owner looked up along the figure, a stiff and flattering smile squeezed out of his tired face, he hunched his waist and greeted Ziwei: "Childe, you see, I have a full range of needles and threads here, my goods are absolutely good and cheap, I will sell you what you need cheaply." ”
As he spoke, he glanced up and down at the handsome son, who was dressed in a robe made of snow-white silk, this person was extraordinary, and the vulgar things on the stall were not eye-catching.
He hesitated for a while, reached out and took out a few hairbands with very fine workmanship from his bag, twisted out a hairband with elegant flowers embroidered on a white background, and gestured to Ziwei's white robe: "Childe, this hairband can match this dress." ”
Xiaomei waved his hand away in disgust: "The quality of the goods here is too poor, Childe, there is a shop in front, let's go to the shop and buy it, right?" ”
The stall owner glanced at Xiaomei unhappily: "If you don't want to buy it, forget it, why do you pick a thorn and say that my goods are not good, this hairband is made by my wife who stayed up late with a lamp." My lady's handiwork is good."
Xiaomei glared at her eyes and said angrily: "We are free to look at the goods and pick the goods, what do you compare with my son-in-law with things." Insulting Sven. ”
The stall owner will soon be happy, Xu is these rich sons look down on the merchants who walk the streets and alleys, and buy his goods at a low price, so he retracted his hand and put the goods in his bag, rubbed his hands, and apologized: "Son, I'm sorry, it's a small faux pas." ”
Xiaomei snorted, pulled Ziwei and wanted to leave.
"Daddy, I want to eat sugar gourds." A 5-year-old boy with a runny nose and an old linen outfit came out of the crowd.
The stall owner was middle-aged and had a son, looking at his son who couldn't distinguish between his nose and eyes, he lifted the corner of his patched clothes to wipe the dust off his son's face, and a smile appeared on his tired face and scolded his son in a low voice: "Where did you run to play with the ashes all over your body, my mother's health is not good, why don't you guard my mother at home, bring your mother's hairband and belt, and my father will sell it." ”
"Selling rock sugar gourds, fragrant and sweet rock sugar gourds are sold cheaply." A burst of shouting reached the ears of the little boy, and the boy drooled as he looked at the sugar gourd.
His hand trembled, turned his son's head and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and held back the sourness in his heart: "Ran'er, when Daddy earns money to buy you rock sugar gourds to eat, the rest of the money will buy medicine for your mother, go home obediently, don't delay Daddy's business." ”
The little boy looked at the rock sugar gourd seller selling along the street, biting his fingers, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips: "Daddy, my mother is sleeping, Ran'er is the most well-behaved, the rock sugar gourd is not delicious, I don't eat the rock sugar gourd, I buy medicine for my mother." ”
The stall owner looked sad, pulled the child over and hugged him in his arms, silent, the boy shook his shoulder and shouted: "Daddy, daddy, I don't eat rock sugar gourd, when daddy makes money, buy medicine for my mother, my mother will be fine." ”
After a long time, he gloomyly lowered his voice and said to himself: "Yes, it will be fine, your mother is tired, don't disturb her rest, when your mother's illness is cured, we can live a good life as a family as before." ”
"Childe let's go, there's a shop in front, let's go in and have a look." Xiaomei urged Ziwei to leave quickly.
Ziwei stood still and didn't move, but turned her head and told Xiaomei to buy a few more rock sugar gourds, Xiaomei said puzzledly: "Childe has eaten a lot of rock sugar gourds, you said that eating too much food is not good for your health, why do you buy it?" It's getting late, and we're still on our way. ”
Ziwei glanced at Xiaomei, and Xiaomei understood that the county lord's sympathy began to overflow, and she didn't say much, and quickly turned around and squeezed into the crowd.
She squatted down, picked and picked in front of the stall, and bought brushes and hair bands.
Xiaomei ran over panting and handed ten strings of rock sugar gourds to the county lord.
She took the rock sugar gourd and said softly, "Little brother, my sister gave you the rock sugar gourd to eat, okay?" ”
The little boy stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, looked at the rock sugar gourd, and then turned his face to look at his father, who was shaking his head, and he also shook his head with his father.
Ziwei wrapped the ice pond gourd and put it on the stall, took out a string of rock sugar gourds and stuffed them into the boy's hand: "Little brother, you are very filial, my sister likes it very much, my sister specially bought a rock sugar gourd for you, it is very delicious." ”
The sweet smell of the sugar gourd made the boy's mouth water, he glanced at his father, saw that his father nodded at him, and immediately lowered his head and ate it in a big gulp.
The stall owner patted his chest: "Eat slowly, don't choke, thank you, Childe." The boy's mouth was stuffed and he muttered indistinctly, "Thank you, brother." ”
Ziwei took the silver bag from Xiaomei's hand again and handed it to the stall owner: "There are fifty taels of silver here." Here you go. ”
"Thank you, Childe, just one or two pieces of silver." The stall owner wrapped the hairband and brush around the child and handed it to Xiaomei.
Ziwei stuffed the silver bag into the boy's arms and touched his little face: "Little brother, take the silver to your mother to get medicine to cure the disease, okay?" The boy lowered his head and chewed the rock sugar gourd desperately, he heard the eldest brother calling him, and he hurriedly raised his head, his mouth was full, his cheeks were bulging, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked and he smiled at the eldest brother.
The stall owner put the child aside and sat down, he stood up and bowed deeply: "The little one met a noble man today, the life-saving grace of the child." The small ones are toothless and unforgettable. ”
Ziwei waved her hand: "No need to say thank you, go home quickly and ask Lang Zhong to treat your mother, don't delay if you are sick." If your lady is cured, ask your lady to go to the Lanling Embroidery Workshop in the capital to be a female red, your lady's female red is doing well. ”
The stall owner put away the stall with great gratitude, and went home with the child.
"Childe, you are so good, it is a blessing for this family to meet Childe."
"When people are in trouble, they should reach out to help him, being kind to others and helping the poor is the standard of life, if it were you, you would do the same, right?" Ziwei clinged to the fan, slowly moving with the flow of people.
Xiaomei nodded as if she didn't understand, she just felt that following such a county lord was a blessing she had cultivated in her previous life, and she was fortunate in her three lives.
Suddenly, a figure in a black robe flashed in the crowd, and Ziwei was stunned.
It's him.
How could it be him.
