In the sixteenth year of Guangxu, the beginning of spring. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The weather is warm and cold, but the sunshine is good, the golden sunlight sprinkled on the towering figure of the front door building, the original gray front door building was covered with a layer of gold, the pigeon whistle sounded, hundreds of white and gray pigeons flew over the front door, although the weather is good, but the sky is still gray, not blue enough, this is the spring Beijing has always had, that is, the wind and sand day.

Below the front door, the traffic is busy, bustling, countless carriages are lined up to pass through the front door, although there are a lot of carriages, but in the end it is very orderly, and today's carriages are not the same as before, many carriages have no roof, open, there are two rows of positions above, in the spring and summer, the most cool and transparent, there are many people on the top of the cool tent, the shadow is sufficient, to those women who are not good families to ride, lure the prodigal son of the city to chase the bee and lead the saucer, chasing, although the previous carriage is magnificent, But the most shaky is unstable, now there is a new system, there is a thick layer of black objects on the wheels, the wheels are tightly wrapped, this thing is very elastic, the texture is soft but not damaged, the carriage is installed with this, the line is flat and stable, no bumps, I heard that this is a foreign thing from Shanghai, what is called rubber, the big guys don't understand where this thing comes from, I heard that it grows from a tree, if it was changed twenty years ago, I am afraid that no one will believe it, now the world is different, The big guy saw the world and faced, this rubber grew from the tree, but many people think that there is this possibility, although the big guy is surprised, but it is not a fuss, listen to it as an anecdote, and it will pass.

The carriages were lined up in turn, and the vendors on the side were carrying baskets and selling everywhere, many chestnuts and oranges that had been saved from the old years, or newly made dragon beard cakes, melon seeds, and coarse candies, and everything was available.

A middle-aged fat man holding a sugar fried chestnut shuttled between the carriages, his figure was plump, but he shuttled very agile in the carriage, if a customer stopped him, he asked Ann to say hello first, and then wrapped the chestnuts, respectfully handed them to the guests, and then thanked the coachman, the end was very polite, obviously this area is where he often comes, many coachmen are familiar with this person, seeing him can't help but smile and say, "Lai Fatty, why are you out today?" Where's that kid in your house? ”

Lai Fat handed a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts to the customers in a cyan carriage, and nodded to this side, "Ouch, Shi Ye, you are auspicious!" I didn't recognize you as a clumsy eye, but don't blame it! ”

"The kid in my family, these days are not free, isn't this going to the summer exam soon, he is ready to study in Tsinghua Academy, so at home to warm the book, I think it is impossible, I said to him, with what kind of tablet are you, you also want to go to Tsinghua School to study? There are all places where the gods in the sky live, you are a kid who sells sugar and fried chestnuts, and you still want to climb to the sky in one step, don't do any spring and autumn dreams, or honestly follow me to buy sugar and fried chestnuts is serious, but he is fighting with me, what to say," when he said these words, he wrapped a few more bags of chestnuts, "The gods in the sky are also made by mortals, so I can't be a fairy there?" Besides, what you said is wrong, what gods are there! ”

"You said that you should not be beaten, I was just preparing to kill it, but I didn't expect the head of the family to let me, so I had to let him read and review at home, and I came out to do business by myself."

"What do you say, fat man," said a coachman with a green felt hat, "and reading is promising, and now if you can grit your teeth and have some savings, who wouldn't let the little girl in the family go to school?" There are great benefits to reading it, is it possible that you are counting on your kid to sell sugar and fried chestnuts for the rest of your life? ”

Lai Fatzi also showed off by complaining, "You're right, but I'm not not not blocking him from studying, motivated, we all like to be motivated, but what kind of motivation is he?" Is Tsinghua School so easy to enter? How many people are recruited in the country every year? Let's just say that these 49 cities, how many have Tsinghua Academy recruited over the years? Although I rely on the fat man to sell sugar and fried chestnuts, but the news is not ill-informed, this number of people, than the eighteen Arhats in the Anyou Palace, there are not a few more, you say, can we go on? I said that it is better to go to another school, read a house building, or study medicine, and now Western doctors are very popular! Or build a railway, it's not bad, when you graduate in the future, you are better than him Lao Tzu, why bother to break your head and want to enter Tsinghua Academy? Money is not a problem, your sugar-fried chestnuts are patronized for twenty wen! Let's smash the pot and sell iron for him to come out, but is this spring exam a game? You can only choose one school at a time, and if you can't pass the exam, you can only take the exam next year! ”

"This is natural, this exam now looks at and the spring and autumn of each year, almost inseparable, the weather of the summer exam is hot, I can't help but watch out, I want to say, my heart is hot, I am annoyed, this annoyance is not able to drive, let alone the reader? The most delicate. So over the years, I don't know how many people fainted in the examination room. ”

"I'm afraid that I fainted in the examination room, but I can't pass the test not because of the hot weather, right?" An eldest sister who was selling magnolia flowers on the side smiled coolly, "How many people have escaped from the fat man's family by fainting!" ”

"There, I'm the most reluctant to beat my own boy," Lai Fat said with a smile, he handed over the baskets one by one, sold young and old, people are naturally hot when they are working, and after a while, there is some sweat on his forehead, he stopped, took a little rest, and also took the opportunity to chat with a few acquaintances, "The family is not bad now, and it is not bad to do business by yourself, so it is natural to provide for him." ”

"Don't boast about yourself," a coachman waved his whip, and the carriage slowly moved forward, "without a sister-in-law at home, where will you have a good life!" ”

"That's right," Lai Fat Chicken pecked the rice and nodded again and again, with a look of pride on her face, "She is an iron rice bowl with a palm, and she receives a salary as an errand in a textile factory, and she is much stronger than me, and the kid in the family is also like her, just to be strong!" ”

"My sister-in-law's craftsmanship used to be well-known, naturally it was powerful, and she was born as a serious Miss of the Eight Banners, who was literate and literate, your boy, without the guidance of your sister-in-law, I am afraid that I can't do anything!"

Lai Fat Man nodded, and was about to say something, when he heard a sudden scream on the side of the street, "The patrol is here!" (To be continued.) )
