Chapter Twenty-Four: There is no tofu in Shanzhou today
Early in the morning, the city is quiet and quiet, especially in the Earl's Palace, there is no superfluous sound.
On a summer morning, the air was fresh, and Fan Xian and Sisi walked along the quiet streets of the city to the familiar vegetable market.
Sisi glanced at him from the side, thinking to himself that the dignified Lord Qincha naturally had no chance to buy vegetable land again.
Fan Xian said softly: "Do you remember that when we were in Shanzhou, we often came to the vegetable market to buy things?"
Sisi nodded, laughed, and said: "The young master has been walking around the city with his sisters since he was a child, and he also carried things for them, and at the beginning he frightened a lot of people, and I heard about it when I entered the mansion, and I also thought you were a strange person."
"Do you still think I'm weird?" Fan Xian smiled in response, when he first walked into the vegetable field and walked past a small two-story building, he subconsciously stopped and stared sideways.
Sisi felt strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fan Xian pointed to the building and said curiously: "Isn't that the old Hadi house who delivered vegetables?
Sisi also thought about it, tilted her head and thought for a while, and said apologetically, "I haven't heard them mention it either."
Fan Xian looked at the two-story small building in the new place and was a little distracted, Lao Ha, who delivered vegetables, and the assassin on Dongshan Road of the Supervision Yuan all died in this place, and afterwards his grandmother let the building burn down and destroy the corpse.
His complexion calmed down, it was only when he came to this world for twelve years, and it was in this place that he killed people for the first time.
......
......
There was a lot of noise in the vegetable field.
The fishermen on the sea are pushing the cart, and the fishmongers in the middle of the field are silently comparing the price of the first fish of the day, and the basket of fresh silver fish in the cart keeps bouncing, making a snapping sound.
There have been a lot of people in Lanzhou who have begun to come to buy vegetables and food, and they must be in a hurry to buy the freshest vegetables.
Looking at this scene, Fan Xian couldn't help but be a little moved, this Qingguo is really good.
After walking a few steps, he walked to the quietest corner of the vegetable field.Looking at the figure on the tofu stall from a distance, Fan Xian stopped, squinted at the familiar waist curve, looked at the ** red fluttering on the ground, and looked at her slightly plump body.
Sisi looked at the woman and laughed happily, and was about to run over there, but Fan Xian grabbed her hand.
Fan Xian smiled and said, "Why bother to see each other, just look at it from a distance, look at Sister Dong'er's expression, life should be good, let's not bother anymore."
Sisi didn't understand.Since he sneaked out.,Is it really gone.Just so stupidly looking at it from afar?
"The government has a sum of money for her every month, which is what I mean." Fan Xian seemed to be comforting himself. With this money, you should have no problem living."
Selling tofu is called Dong'er.It was the big girl of the Earl's Mansion in Shanzhou, and this woman began to hug Fan Xian when she was ten years old.
It's just that when Fan Xian was ten years old, the girl's family was also old, and Fan Xian knew that his future life would be very dangerous, so he found a reason to drive her out of the house, but secretly kept helping.
He likes Dong'er, so he wants to arrange a normal and happy life for Dong'er.
......
......
However, it seems that ordinary and happy life is not so easy to come to Fan Xian and Sisi looked at it for a while, and suddenly found that there were four or five big men surrounding Dong'er's tofu shop, and they were talking excitedly.
Fan Xian's eyes narrowed, and a trace of coldness flashed on his delicate face, just looking at those big men, although they were excited, they didn't seem to be very aggressive, and they didn't act too much, so they didn't go berserk for the time being.
He gestured and followed him to the tofu shop a little closer, heard the conversation of those people clearly, and also saw the wrinkles in the corners of Dong'er's sister's eyes, and couldn't help but feel dark.
"Miss Dong'er, it's not that we force people, it's just that this account has been delayed for a year, and it should be repaid." The big man in the head of the land frowned and said, "You go around and ask, we have already given you the widest kind of land, and there is no such low land interest again."
Dong'er rubbed her hands a little helplessly, these hands have been soaked in tofu water all the year round, a little red, and a little rough.
The big man looked at her twice, and suddenly said, "I said Miss Dong'er, why are you so unreasonable?"
Dong'er looked up suspiciously.
The big man said with a smile: "Not to mention the side land, this Guan Shicheng has always collected the least amount of money from you...... The whole vegetable market and the local people respect you for three points, what is this for the land?Boiling #Teng@Literature Collection Isn't it because you were a native of the Earl's Mansion back then?Although you were driven out of the mansion on the surface, how can we, the old people in Shanzhou, not know the land? The young master of the Fan family cherishes you the most, and when he was a child, he relied on you to play on the tofu stall all day long."
He cleared his throat and said, "Let's not all give face to Young Master Fan, and no one dares to bully you...... But......" He suddenly said angrily, "this money is not much, you can go to the Earl's Court and talk to the old lady, won't her old man help you?"
Dong'er pursed her lips and refused to say a word Chinese
The big man finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "Even if you don't dare to tell the old lady, but now everyone knows about this big event in the Shanzhou Mansion, and the young master of the Fan family has returned to his hometown.
Dong'er suddenly raised her head, and said with a resolute face: "My land, don't go to the mansion to alarm you, I owe you money, I will naturally pay you back slowly...... Thanks to Brother Hu for taking care of you for the past two years, Dong'er is very grateful."
Although the big man didn't dare to coerce Dong'er, after all, he wanted to make money from this, and said angrily: "Since you said that you have nothing to do with the house, then we are welcome, you should take the land and silver, you will bring it to me today!"
Hearing this, Fan Xian finally understood the reason for the matter, and couldn't help but smile bitterly....... It should be enough to let the house send the money every month.Looking at Sister Dong'er's expression, I'm afraid that I haven't been willing to send my own money in the past two years, and I am only willing to rely on this tofu shop to barely survive.
There is no need to continue listening, and Fan Xian did not wait for the situation to intensify before coming out to be an uncle's hobby, although it is obvious that he is the biggest uncle in Shanzhou City today.
He nodded at Sisi.
Sisi immediately understood, walked a few steps, came to the tofu shop, looked at the big men, and asked calmly, "How much is the difference?"
These big men were obviously taken aback by the girl who suddenly appeared.Although Sisi didn't deliberately dress up when she went out today, she lived in a wealthy family every day.The clothes and decorations on her body were all luxurious, and the big men had sharp eyes, of course, they knew that this girl had an extraordinary background, coughed lightly, and said respectfully: "That is, ten taels of silver."
As they spoke, the eyes of these big men floated around the tofu shop.
And Dong'er was already stunned when Sisi stood in front of his tofu shop, and after a while, a helpless smile appeared on his red face.
The big man at the head suddenly looked at the boy who was standing behind the side of the tofu shop, and when he looked at the boy brother's extremely beautiful face, and then thought with the origin of the tofu shop and the flowery girl in front of him, he immediately guessed the identity of the boy brother, and quickly added in a trembling voice: "It is indeed ten taels, this is money...... I didn't dare to collect it, but now that the girl has come forward, she will naturally be exempted."
Sisi glanced back at Dong'er with a smile on her face and said, "Sister, isn't it so much?"
Dong'er was still immersed in shock and nodded a little flustered.
Sisi glanced at Fan Xian over there, of course this girl's family knew Fan Xiandi's thoughts, and said with a smile to those big men: "I can also see that a few of them have a lot of protection for my sister, and I thank you for this kindness on behalf of my son-in-law." As she spoke, she took out a small silver ticket from her sleeve and handed it over, saying gently, "You can help take care of this shop more in the future."
The big man took the silver ticket and saw that it was twenty ground amounts, and he couldn't help but want to go back with a bitter face, but he glanced at the young man behind the tofu shop who was angry and didn't know how to look like the ground, and didn't dare to say more, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't dare, don't dare, definitely, definitely."
After saying this, he hurriedly pulled a few subordinates behind him who were still a little confused and left in a hurry, and when he passed by Fan Xian's side, he bowed deeply to the ground, and he didn't dare to let go of a fart.
Fan Xian shook his head, walked into the tofu shop, and complained to Dong'er, who still didn't believe his eyes, and said, "If you have money to keep it, what kind of profit can you borrow?"
Dong'er glanced at him with a reluctant smile and said softly, "Young Master, why are you here?"
Fan Xian said angrily: "This was the sentence a few years ago, and now it is still this sentence, you are my girl, can't I come to see you?"
Sisi covered his mouth and smiled on the side: "I didn't know who was standing there just now." After saying this, she walked up to Dong'er and took her hand affectionately.
Dong'er was a little flustered and wiped his hand on the placket in front of him twice, and smiled gently.
Fan Xian looked at Dong'er's face on the ground, and looked at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes more carefully, the years were quite ruthless, and they did not leave too deep traces on the ** face, but they were always a little tired in their daily housework and small business, especially when they were standing in one place with Sisi.
Fan Xian sighed, and suddenly didn't know what to say, so he asked with a calm face, "Where is the little girl?"
"At home with her father, her father...... I'm not in good shape." Dong'er glanced at Fan Xian, her expression was gentle and kind, and she grew up with Fan Xian since she was a child, so of course she knew his thoughts. I can also guess why he is unhappy, and said softly: "The money sent by the young master doesn't dare to use it indiscriminately, and it can maintain ...... anyway."
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Fan Xian waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Take me to your house and sit down."
Dong'er glanced at her tofu shop and was embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.
Fan Xian said angrily: "What do you care about such a broken mess? I screwed it up back then, what a dull life.
Seeing that he was angry, Dong'er didn't dare to say anything more, Sisi stepped forward and took her hand and walked outside the vegetable market.
Fan Xian walked out of the tofu shop behind the two, stared coldly at the eyes cast around the vegetable field, thought about it, and put the two squares of tofu in his hand, and then paced out leisurely.
After he left, the whole vegetable market quarreled like a fryer, and at this time, naturally, all the vendors recognized who he was, and they couldn't help but fall into shock and excitement.
What a wonderful gossip this is, especially when there are words such as the big girl ring in the past, and now the tofu Shih Tzu and so on.
"If you see it, I'll say it...... Young Master Fan is a nostalgic person, and since he has returned to Shanzhou, he naturally wants to come to see Sister Dong'er."
Someone sighed: "Lord Qincha, what a big official this must be, and he still misses the old days so much."
Someone chewed their tongues, and someone scolded back: "Don't you see that Sister Sisi is also here?
Regardless of how the discussion in the vegetable field ferments, the majesty of Fan Mansion is here, the reputation of Fan Xiandi is here, and some headless and tailless rumors naturally end without a problem.
At this time, no one thought that there would be no tofu to eat in the entire city of Shanzhou today.
Dong'er's house is in a small courtyard in the middle of the city, quietly hidden in the depths of the alley, such a unique courtyard in the city of Tangzhou, although it is common, but it is also worth a lot of money, or Fan Xian used to sell the inner court newspaper Pan Ling's handwritten land money, and bought land when Dong'er got married.
It's just that the furnishings in this courtyard are a little old.Fan Xian walked into the courtyard.I looked around twice, and found that it was quite neat and clean.I nodded with satisfaction.I put the two tofu in my hand on the stone mill, put my hand behind me, and entered the main hall.
Dong'er was busy pouring tea and getting snacks, Fan Xian stopped, and said with a smile: "It's not that you don't know my temper, I don't like to eat those."
Dong'er smiled softly and said, "At that time, everyone in the house said that the young master was a freak, and the children didn't like to eat snacks, but they liked to gnaw bones."
"yes, a freak." Fan Xian sighed and said, "You don't think I'm weird."
Sisi wiped it twice on the low couch, knowing that Fan Xian didn't care about this, so he went to invite him to sit down.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw a man about thirty years old struggling to get up from the bed, this man had good facial features, quite loyal, but his face was a little pale, and it seemed that his body was not very good.
As soon as she saw Fan Xian go inside, Dong'er jumped up in a hurry, hurriedly followed in, and said, "Young master, this patient is staying in the ground, what are you doing here?"
The man on the bed is Dong'er's father, surnamed Mai, and he has already guessed the identity of the person.
Although he has been discussing with Dong'er since the day he knew that the young master of the Fan family was going back to Shanzhou, whether Young Master Fan would come to the door to take a look, but after all, the disparity between the identities and status of the two sides was too great, and when they thought of this matter, it was too impossible, so the two of them put their minds at ease and did not make any preparations.
"Young Master Fan, don't come in." He said in a hurry, frightened.
Fan Xian smiled, sat down directly beside him, and put one hand on his leyline door.
Dong'er stood at the door, guessing that the young master was seeing a doctor for his father-in-law, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt......
And her local minister was even more nervous, looking at Fan Xian's finger on his leyline door, thinking that this is now Lord Diqincha, according to the local rumors, he is even more of a dragon species...... How can you see yourself? He was so excited and moved that his eyes were moistened.
There was silence in the room, Sisi didn't enter the house, just watched carefully behind Dong'erdi.
After a long time, Fan Xian let go of his fingers, opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, it is a problem with the lungs, which is easy to treat."
Dong'er and his wife were overjoyed when they heard this, but they still didn't believe it.Sisi covered her mouth behind her and smiled: "You two can rest assured, our young grandmother also has a lung problem, and the imperial doctors in the palace can't cure it, it's all the young master who cured it."
