Chapter 194: A Down-and-Out Man
Chapter 194: A Down-and-Out Man.
"Are you really leaving?"
A down-and-out man looked at a beautiful 'girl' in front of him with tears in his eyes. The 'woman' turned around, did not look at the man, and said with tears in her eyes: "I must go!"
At dusk, the winter in the south of the Yangtze River looks so soft and beautiful, the snow has already melted, and the ice in the lake and river is only left in some lumps, drifting back and forth with the drifting of the water.
The weather is no longer as cold as in the depths of winter, Ai Xiang'er also took off the thick cotton hexagram, put on a very light and comfortable silk cotton clothes, she sat in her yard and looked at the sky in a daze, I don't know what I was thinking, but I didn't think about anything.
Ai Xiang'er has been a little bored these days, since the last time Liu Shijiu's incident has passed, the 'flower' Tsing Yi and the others have nothing to do, the days of boredom, they have been more than a month, Ai Xiang'er suddenly wants to find something to do, even if this thing is not so fun, but at least it is more interesting than staying at home like this!
The sky is very beautiful, Ai Xiang'er looked at the sky, and suddenly felt that she wanted to fly in the sky, and the kind of freedom that flying in the sky should only be available to birds.
Ai Xiang'er, who was flying freely in the sky, was suddenly awakened by a burst of firecrackers, she suddenly stood up and ran to the street, this time has not yet reached the New Year, how can there be firecrackers?
The street was crowded with people, bustling, and very lively, but when Ai Xiang'er ran to the street, the group of people had already gone away, and Ai Xiang'er returned home very helplessly, thinking in her heart that if only there was something to do.
When Ai Xiang'er came home, 'Hua' Tsing Yi was sitting in the courtyard admiring the plum 'flower' that was about to bloom and fail, and 'Hua' Tsing Yi saw that Ai Xiang'er would come, so he said with a smile: "Don't you often say that it's boring to stay at home, we have something to do tomorrow!"
Ai Xiang'er ran to 'Hua' Tsing Yi excitedly, took his hand and asked, "What's the matter, is it fun?"
'Hua' Tsing Yi smiled, and then said: "Of course it's fun, a friend of mine is married, you say it's not fun!"
Ai Xianger thought it was something fun, but she didn't expect it to be a wedding, but it's not bad to attend a wedding, at least there is something to do, don't be so boring.
"Who is your friend? Have I heard of it?" asked Ai Xiang'er excitedly.
"Hide the cold wind moon of the 'flower' dock!" said 'flower' Tsing Yi with a smile.
"Oh, in that case, why don't we go to his wedding to buy him some gifts?" Ai Xiang'er asked with a smile, her smile as warm as the winter sun.
'Hua' Qingyi patted his head, and suddenly said with a sense of awakening: "Yes, this kind of thing, we have to say something, but what gift should we buy him?"
Ai Xiang'er bit her finger and thought for a while, and then said happily: "Since we haven't thought about it, let's go around the street, maybe we can find good things!"
Ai Xiang'er and 'Hua' Tsing Yi were strolling around the street, and Ai Xiang'er said inadvertently: "Xie Nianyi and Liu Yunqing don't know when they can come back?"
'Hua' Tsing Yi smiled, he knew that Ai Xiang'er felt aggrieved again, because Xie Nianyi and Liu Yunqing went to Suzhou to play, originally Ai Xiang'er wanted to go, but 'Hua' Tsing Yi didn't want to go, he wanted to stay at home in those days, 'Hua' Tsing Yi stayed at home, Ai Xiang'er said that he couldn't leave 'Hua' Tsing Yi at home alone, so Ai Xiang'er didn't go to Suzhou.
"It's going to be a few days, there's a lot of sight and a lot of fun, and they're not going to come back so soon. "'Hua' Tsing Yi stood at a stall and picked up an antique and played with it.
Ai Xiang'er sighed a little disappointed, and then said: "It would be good if you were willing to go at the beginning, I heard that the silk over there is very beautiful, and it is very comfortable to wear." ”
'Hua' Tsing Yi turned around and said, "Don't worry, when they come back from Suzhou, they will bring you some back." ”
Ai Xiang'er nodded, and then asked, "Have you thought about what to buy?"
"This ...... I didn't think about it, but it's better for us to go to the pawnshop, there are usually a lot of good things in the pawnshop that no one has redeemed, let's go and take a look!" 'Hua' Qingyi took Ai Xiang'er's hand and said as she walked.
They came to a Yonghe pawnshop, the pawnshop was very deserted, only one or two people were in it as a thing, only to see that the pawnshop owner was very disdainful to hold a 'jade' bracelet and look at it, and then said coldly: "A jade 'jade' bracelet, but although it is jadeite, it is a pity that it is not a good jadeite, so if you really want to be a jade, ten taels of silver!"
The owner of the 'jade' bracelet was a man, unkempt, dirty, and very depressed, when he heard the pawnshop owner say that the jade 'jade' bracelet could only be used as ten taels of silver, he immediately felt very angry, but this angry expression only stayed on his face for a short period of time, and then the man took the 'jade' bracelet from the pawnshop owner's hand and put it in his arms to leave.
When the innkeeper saw that the man was leaving, he immediately shouted, "If you are really short of money, I can give you a little higher, how about thirty taels of silver?"
After Ai Xiang'er heard the pawnshop owner's words, she whispered to 'Hua' Qingyi: "This boss is so generous, he has raised the price so much at once." ”
'Hua' Qingyi smiled, and then said in a low voice: "It's not that the pawnshop owner is generous, but that the 'jade' bracelet is worth at least one hundred taels of silver, and the pawnshop owner doesn't want to lose this business." ”
After listening to the explanation of 'Hua' Tsing Yi, Ai Xiang'er immediately felt extremely disgusted with the pawnshop owner, so she said: "Since this pawnshop owner is so bad, let's leave and not buy anything from him." ”
'Hua' Qingyi smiled, then stood up, but did not leave the pawnshop, but walked straight to the down-and-out man and said, "One hundred taels of silver, how about you sell me this 'jade' bracelet?"
The down-and-out man looked at the 'flower' Tsing Yi, and then took out the 'jade' bracelet from his arms again, and after he put the 'jade' bracelet on the hand of the 'flower' Tsing Yi, he said coldly: "Give me money!"
'Hua' Tsing Yi took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to the man, the man took the money and was about to leave, when suddenly 'Hua' Tsing Yi asked behind him: "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname?"
The man had already walked to the 'door', he did not stop, but answered the question of 'Hua' Tsing Yi, and his answer was from the street to the pawnshop.
"There are 'flowers' without leaves, which are really chic, and they don't borrow light red from rouge!"
When the voice disappeared, the down-and-out man was gone, and 'Hua' Tsing Yi didn't expect him to run so fast.
