Song Baolian's home is in a quiet alley in the south of the city.

Two rooms and a small courtyard are all there is to this family, even the stove and pots can only be built in a shed to squeeze into the yard.

But even such a house is not its own, and it has to pay rent to the landlord every month.

So she is most afraid of rain and wind.

Those who sell and sing in the city have their own territory, and the territory of the Song family is the Pipa Pavilion. The Pipa Pavilion is said to be a good place, and there are a lot of literati and scholars, all of whom are willing to listen to music and give rewards, but they can also get by.

But the Pipa Pavilion is just a pavilion, not like a serious restaurant on all sides, so you have to watch the sky to eat, the wind is halved and the rain is nothing, and in the winter it is even more depressed, whenever there is no business, the family can only count the rice grains to live by.

was stunned by the terrible black man with a finger today, Song Baolian was scared at first, after all, the big man looked too scary, jumped over and swooped over, it was really like a black bear pounced, saying that she was stunned, but in fact, she was mostly scared and stunned.

But soon she was not afraid, because the short and big official actually gave her mother a full twenty taels of silver!

With these twenty taels of silver, even if there is no business all winter, their family will never go hungry, not only will they not starve, but they will even add new clothes, buy some chickens, ducks and fish, and have a good New Year.

Thinking about it this way, she even felt that if she could get twenty taels every day when she was poked, then it would be good.

As for raising, what is there to raise, so that some incense ash is smeared on the collapsed skin, Song Baolian is like no one, jumping up and down to help her mother burn firewood and cook, but her mother can't help babbling, for fear that her husband will bully people outside.

When it was dark, the mother and daughter had finished eating, and were lighting oil lamps to do some needlework, squeak, the courtyard door was pushed open, Song Lao'er came into the house, and the big horse golden knife sat on the pony, and sighed long.

Baolian and her mother suddenly became nervous, and her mother worried: "Her father, but people are embarrassing you?" ”

Song Lao'er suddenly laughed and said triumphantly: "It's too late for people to compliment me, how can I be embarrassed?" Haha, old woman, you and I have been in the second half of our lives. ”

Her mother suddenly raised her voice: "You gave Baolian to that person to be small?" ”

Pauline suddenly became nervous, her frightened bunny-like eyes widened, and Baba looked at her father.

Song Lao'er looked proud and boasted: "My daughter, how can you be small with others?" Hmph, if it weren't for the lady of the main room that Ming Media was marrying, how would she be worthy of my daughter's flower and moon appearance? ”

Her mother was in disbelief when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Is it actually a wife?" Ah, but it's rare, and the big officials are also in their thirties, right? Why haven't you married yet? Isn't it because of being short? can see that he is bold and bold, even if he is shorter, he will not be able to please the lady, could it be that the lady in front of him died? ”

Old man Song stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his mother-in-law: "Wake up, what are you crazy about, although the big official is shorter, he is an extremely extravagant character, you should be your daughter?" ”

He snorted twice, turned his head and asked his daughter: "Baolian, among the three guests, what do you think of the black man who poked your brain?" ”

When Song Baolian heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she stood up in shock and said, "That, that guy is the black bear who has become a spirit in the mountains, Dad, I don't want to marry him!" ”

Her mother also said angrily: "Old immortal, I think you are crazy, our daughter, what kind of character, how can you marry that monster?" ”

Old man Song hummed a disdainful voice in his nostrils, pouted and said: "It's all goods with long hair and short knowledge, marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, I looked good when I was young, you are greedy for me to marry each other, haven't you suffered all your life?" Men are ugly and handsome, tall and short, all of them are secondary, the first two, one is capable of supporting his wife and children, and the other is willing to love his wife. ”

The mother-in-law didn't believe it: "That black monster, he almost killed my daughter with one finger, and he doesn't understand the fragrance and jade, do you expect him to hurt people?" ”

Old man Song said: "You know a fart!" It is precisely because he doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so that he will not see one and love the other, and he will lose my daughter in the future. Although my old man has been down, but he can still distinguish between black and white when he asks himself about these two tricks, and today I will put this here: If that man marries my daughter, I am afraid that he will hold it in his hand for fear of falling, and he will be afraid of melting on his tongue, and he will not know how to treasure her. ”

The mother-in-law and the daughter glanced at each other, and they were always convinced of Song Lao'er's ability to recognize people, and when they saw that Lao'er was willing to say such a full thing, they couldn't help but believe it.

The mother-in-law thought for a while and said, "Being able to marry my daughter is a good fortune for ten lifetimes, and I should cherish her." It's just that I think this person is naïve, how can he have the ability to support my family's wealth? ”

Old man Song said: "Although that man is a little simple, the magic is in this simple word!" There are countless founding generals of this dynasty, why does the grandfather love the iron whip king Huyanzan? The former Tang Taizong, why did he only love that Cheng biting gold? The reason is that these two generals both occupy a single word! If you are not honest, how can you win people's affection? ”

Seeing that his mother-in-law and daughter were confused, the old man Song felt helpless and explained: "The big official with a short son made a promise to me personally, to take the black man back to Yanggu County, Shandong, to ensure that he is the head of the county, and then buy two opposite houses, one for the black man to live with his wife and daughter-in-law, and the other for the black man's father-in-law and mother-in-law to support the elderly, and I am afraid that the capital of the head of the capital is not enough to spend, but also to send a few good business stores with him to supplement the family, if you want to farm, the good land outside the city will also send hundreds of acres, this kind of family business, isn't it rich?" ”

"Count, count, count!" The mother-in-law smiled when she heard this, but she was worried: "But such a big fortune, even if it is real, is it still willing to give it to others?" ”

Old man Song sneered again and again when he heard this, and said arrogantly: "You are a woman, how do you know the mind of a big husband and a big hero?" In our opinion, this kind of family property is already amazing, but do you know that it is not a drop in the bucket in the hands of others? Besides, I see that the official is very fond of the black man, and is about to accept him as a confidant, this black man is really a fool with a foolish fortune, and in my opinion, he is also a ruthless character who will follow the stars! You don't look at the strength of his fingers, you can't say that he will be a character like Cheng Biting Jin and Hu Yanzan in the future, you and I follow our daughter, and we still have endless blessings. ”

The mother-in-law had no doubt when she heard this, smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, hugged her daughter and said: "If this is the case, I can let my daughter be used for a lifetime, and I am willing to live ten years less as a mother." ”

Who knew that Song Baolian suddenly broke away from her arms and said: "After talking for a long time, do you still want me to marry that black bear!" I won't marry him, I won't marry him, and I won't marry him when I die! ”

So saying, he rushed out of the house, went to his own house and locked the door, and after a while, a whining cry was heard.

The mother-in-law said with a sad face: "My daughter thinks he is ugly, but how is this good?" ”

Old man Song didn't care: "The words of the parents' fate, Lao Tzu worked hard to choose a good son-in-law for her, she is a little woman who knows how to fart, don't pay attention to it, let her cry, wait until she is tired of crying, and then slowly reason is not too late, sleep, sleep." ”

This old man has been trapped for a long time, and at first glance, the whole person is high-spirited, and he blows out the lamp with great interest and pulls his mother-in-law to sleep.

But said that Song Baolian, sad all night, sleepy and sleepy, dreamed of being chased by a black bear, let her run far away is difficult to get rid of, and finally was pounced by the black bear, bitten on the chest, woke up with a scream, it was already daylight, walked out of the door to see, parents are not there.

She freshened up at home, remembering that her father was going to marry her to the black bear spirit yesterday, and couldn't help but feel bitter, thinking: "My parents just want him to be rich, I should sing diligently and earn more money every day, maybe they will change their minds." ”

I made up my mind, painted a beautiful makeup, went out with my own pipa on my back, and wanted to go to the Pipa Pavilion to sing and earn money, but as soon as I walked out of the alley where I lived, I saw seven or eight gangsters dressed up, surrounded by a white-faced boy, looking at him with a hippie smile.
