Chapter 106: Begging
Chapter 100: Begging
The next day happened to be the second of February. According to an ancient legend, the daughter of an old dragon married a scholar in the world, and she would cry non-stop when she thought of her daughter on the second day of February, so it always rained on the second day of February, so she called the dragon to raise her head.
It is also said that the New Year is over at this time, and the fat pig killed during the New Year eats only the pig's head and tail, and eats it, and the year is over, and February 2 is the last day of the New Year.
The twins couldn't bear the hunger, and woke up hungry early in the morning, and the two of them came to toss the bamboo together, rubbing their ears for a while, touching their stomachs, and the bamboo opened his eyes with great effort, and said weakly: "It seems that you can still be hungry for a few days......
The sisters got up, washed up, and still didn't eat anything, looking at the lively twins and Xiaoju who didn't think so, Zhu only felt that his feet were weak.
The bamboo is dead on the collapse of the concubine, and only one mouth is moving, supporting the fortune and treasure to run for his life:
"Find some old clothes. The more broken, the better. ”
"Why don't you even have a patch?"
In the end, Zhaocai Jinbao turned out the clothes he wore when he first entered the house, and finally satisfied the bamboo, those clothes were tattered, and the patches were stacked with patches, but they were extremely clean.
asked the twins and Xiaoju to wear one by one, and the sisters got into the carriage and happily went to beggars.
In order to increase the difficulty of begging for his sisters, Zhu deliberately found a small street that was sparse and not particularly lively.
The carriage stopped at the corner of the street and looked at the three sisters with a smile: "Are you ready?" ”
The three of them nodded vigorously together, Zhu opened the car door, and the twins jumped down first, and then turned around together and stretched out their hands to pick up Xiaoju.
Zhu closed the car door, leaned in front of the car window, lifted the corner of the curtain, and saw the three younger sisters majestic and high-spirited, like generals returning to the court, walking towards the street with high spirits.
Seeing that the sisters were far away, Zhu took out a dry bun from his arms with his right hand, broke a piece and chewed it carefully in his mouth, and said in his heart, Zhaocai is really a good maid, knowing that she is distressed Miss, and she is smart, and she knows that the dry bun will not leave a smell when you eat it.
When they arrived on the street, the three of them muttered and discussed for a long time, and Xiaoju sat against the wall, untied her braids, covering half of her face. I didn't move, and I looked terminally ill and dying.
The twins leaned on either side of her, sobbing softly, sometimes wailing: "Little sister, little sister ......"
After a while, there were pedestrians who stopped to watch, the twins raised their heads in time, their two pretty faces were full of panic, they bit their lower lipes, and two lines of tears slowly flowed out, looking at the onlookers without saying a word.
The two identical faces were equally pitiful, unusually shocking, and immediately aroused a sympathetic sigh: "Evil, such a handsome little girl cries like this!" "Looks like I want to treat my sister." "What a sensible girl......"
Gossiping, I don't know who threw a copper plate down, the onlookers suddenly opened their minds, and they all donated generously, and the copper coins fell like raindrops.
The twins' eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, but they didn't pick up the copper coin, the two of them helped each other to stand up, and bowed. More and more people feel sensible.
Finally choked the dry bun bamboo drank another cup of tea, estimated that a few sisters should cry and beg to invite her to go home, Fang slowly lifted the curtain, but saw such a scene, her face immediately turned green, she originally thought that the three sisters should be at a loss for a long time, why did she forget that the family heirloom is to pretend to be pitiful.
Zhu immediately got out of the carriage, while untying the bag on his waist, while striding towards the crowd, to the closer, saw that the crowd was surrounded by several sisters in three layers and three layers outside, and they could no longer be seen outside, I couldn't help but wonder, it was obviously a sparsely populated street, where did these people come from?
Bamboo grabbed the broken silver from the brocade bag and raised it, sprinkled a few handfuls and shouted: "Whose silver has fallen, whose silver has fallen?" ”
The outermost layer of the crowd was the first to react, bending down to pick up the silver, and soon, the people inside began to squeeze out, and the originally dense pile of people quickly split apart.
Bamboo, who was full, smiled charmingly at his younger sisters, stepped forward to take their hands, and quickly escaped from the chaotic scene while the passers-by were picking up silver.
When they got into the carriage, the twins shook their sleeves, dropped a lot of copper coins, and looked at the bamboo with a blank eye, hoping to hear a few words of praise.
Zhu coughed and said with a smile: "Just the three of you together." My sister pondered, but she couldn't count, and now, you have to beg alone. ”
The twins' two little faces immediately collapsed, and they looked at Zhu resentfully, Xiaoju glanced at Zhu dissatisfiedly, and said neatly: "The third sister has always been the most treacherous. ”
Zhu Yan laughed twice, and told the little guy who drove to find another secluded street.
She ate and drank to her heart's content, tossing her younger sisters angrily, rubbing her ears and touching her belly. The twins began to have the strength to toss with her, and after a while, they turned into two messes of mud together, and fell softly on the bamboo, and the bamboo was pressed and couldn't breathe, which was really self-inflicted, unforgivable.
When she arrived, Zhu pushed aside her two younger sisters, who had been pressing on her, and asked solemnly, "Which of you will go first?" ”
Xiaolan sat up violently and said as a matter of course: "Of course it's my sister." ”
The three of them watched Xiaolan go away, and saw her shaking hands into fists, her arms half-bent, horizontal at her sides. Like a door god with his waist crossed, he can feel the ground shaking with every step he takes.
This guy's hungry eyes glowed green, and his fighting spirit was unprecedentedly high, and Zhu had no doubt that if she didn't get food, she would grab it directly.
When he arrived at the door of the pastry shop, Xiaozhu decisively stopped, and the shop made many pastries for sale outside, rose mille-feuille cake, butterfly cake, and ginkgo gold cake...... One of its cages of freshly baked osmanthus crisp is fragrant and the most attractive.
Xiaolan held her index finger in her mouth. I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and I was a little hesitant, whether to do it? If the shopkeeper chases him out, the third sister will never see death without help.
Hesitating, she stretched out one hand and was slapped away by the guy halfway: "Stinky beggar, die far away." ”
Before Xiaolan could react, she stretched out a leg in the cross, swept through the army, and all the pastries placed outside were scattered on the ground, Xiaolan immediately squatted on the ground, picked up a pat that was not too dirty and sent it to her mouth, and was patted as soon as she touched her lips.
She glared at him murderously, "Old man, what are you doing?!" ”
Geezer...... Lu Zaian felt that his heart was about to break, this nickname became more and more harsh the more he escalated, could he be so statusless in Xiao Ni's heart?
Holding back his grief and indignation, Lu Zai'an asked softly, "Why are you dressed up like this?" ”
Xiaolan looked impatient: "What does it have to do with you." As he spoke, he reached for the pastry on the floor again.
Lu Zai'an shot down again, and seeing Xiaolan glaring at him viciously, he hurriedly coaxed in a low voice: "I'll take you to eat when you're hungry, don't eat the pastries on the ground, they're all dirty." ”
The guy at the pastry shop saw that Lu Zai'an was tall and big, so he hurriedly rushed back and called the shopkeeper to come, and when the two came out, they happened to see Lu Zai'an coaxing Xiaolan softly, Xiaolan pointed to the pastries on the ground and said angrily: "I'm going to eat this, don't want anything else." ”
Seeing her request, Lu Zai'an's heart was overjoyed, and he said a stack of good words, shook his hand and took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Wrap every snack in a catty, and the more will be considered a reward for you." ”
The shopkeeper took the silver and bit it in his mouth, confirmed that it was genuine, and immediately said with a smile: "There are still goods in the store, so I'll go and pack them for the two." ”
Lu Zai'an was careless and reminded: "Take some out first to relieve my little sister's hunger." ”
The shopkeeper answered and ordered the guy to come into the store to make snacks. I brought a plate of freshly baked osmanthus cakes, Xiaolan was hungry, grabbed it with both hands, and desperately stuffed it into her mouth, Lu Zaian on the side looked distressed, and hurriedly said to the shopkeeper: "There is tea, hurry up and send a pot." ”
Xiaolan was full of food and drink, and the laziness was immediately committed, she raised her eyebrows and motioned for Lu Zai'an to pick up the bags of snacks, and slowly walked towards the carriage, Lu Zai's peace of mind jumped, Xiaoni used to be full and more lively, and today it seems that something is not quite right.
The two of them went one after the other, according to Xiaolan's steps, and after a long time, Zhu got out of the carriage early to meet him, dragged Xiaolan to block Lu Zai'an, and handed over the ingot gold, looking like he had drawn a clear line.
Lu Zai'an didn't have time to take the pastries in his hand, so Zhu Leng snorted and threw them on the ground: "Father-in-law's Hu is really getting longer and longer." ”
Zhu pulled Xiaolan into the carriage, and directly ordered the little girl to get up and drive, Xiaozhu opened the curtain, and watched Lu Zai'an's full of pastries getting farther and farther away, and his eyes were extremely shining, enough to sell iron and melt gold.
As soon as Lu Zai'an saw her, he was petrified on the spot, inexplicably sad and indignant, he made a mistake, how could he be mistaken, hasn't the old man always wilted like a cat? How can you be as alive as Xiao Ni?
The second one to appear was the hungry and weak Xiaozhu, she was unusual, and got off the carriage slowly, it was noon, the sun was shining warmly on her body, she simply found a sunny place, sat down straight, so hungry, she couldn't lift a finger.
The groggy eyes were about to close, and a pair of boots appeared in front of him, Xiaozhu slowly raised his eyes, and looked at the young man in front of him woodenly, he seemed to have met an acquaintance with a look of surprise.
Xiaozhu's lips squirmed, the young man couldn't hear it really, he lowered his body and approached her lips, Fang heard it, she only said one word: "Hungry ......"
Duan You couldn't cry or laugh, this girl always seemed to be hungry, she wore a maid's clothes last time, and this time she pretended to be a beggar, I really don't know what tricks the family is doing.
Seeing that Xiaozhu had no strength to speak, he looked up in all directions, entered a teahouse, and said to Xiaozhu happily: "You wait, I'll buy food." ”
He trotted all the way over, took out the broken silver and threw it on the table, called the little two to pack half a catty of cooked beef, and urged anxiously, as soon as the beef was wrapped, he grabbed it, turned around and ran.
Happily sent to Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu smelled the aroma, his nose twitched twice, his eyes opened suddenly, he snatched it, turned his fingers into claws, grabbed a piece and gnawed it, gobbling it up miserably.
Duan You was stunned, and faintly felt that something was wrong.
