Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Several people were drinking and chatting, and they were all happy that Liu Chengyi had taught Zhu Guo.Liu Chengyi was also drunk so much that he almost didn't know who he was.

The next day, Liu Chengyi didn't wake up until the third day of the morning.I held my head and thought for a long time, but I couldn't figure out what I said last night.

Look at the sun, it's almost noon.I found the boy outside and said, "I heard that Pingyao beef is a specialty. I want to buy some to eat today. I wonder which one on the street is authentic? Wouldn't it be annoying if I bought something that doesn't taste good?"

After hearing this, the boy pointed to the alley outside and said, "Just keep walking along this road. When you can't walk anymore, turn right and walk to the end. This family has been making beef for many years, and now they use yellow beef. It tastes better." better."

Liu Chengyi thanked him.Keep walking along the road, and when you reach the end, turn right and you will see the beef stall in front of you.

This restaurant also sells beef soup, which is a popular time.A large shed, with low tables inside and outside the shed, and small benches on both sides of the table.At this time, most of the stools were occupied by guests, holding bowls in both hands and sipping soup.Drinking two sips of soup and taking a bite of bread, I don't know how satisfying it is.

Liu Chengyi stepped forward, looked around, and ordered two kilograms of beef and a gourd of wine.After cutting the beef, I picked up a piece and tasted it. It tasted really good.

Looking at the guests next to me drinking the soup, it seems delicious.Liu Chengyi said: "How much does a bowl of your soup cost? Can you take it away to eat? I can borrow your bowl and bring it back tomorrow."

The host said: "There are many people coming to buy soup from us, and many of them want to take away, so we have prepared wooden bowls like this. You pay [-] yuan as a deposit, and when the bowls are delivered tomorrow, the deposit will be returned to you." "

Liu Chengyi looked at the bowl. It had a lid and a handle, which was just suitable for carrying it.Then he asked: "How much is a bowl of soup?"

The host said: "If you don't want meat, a bowl of soup costs five cents. If you want to add meat, you have to weigh it and pay extra."

Liu Chengyi said: "In your business, the meat is also weighed by another name. It is indeed very good. But I have already bought the beef. All I need is a bowl of soup."

The host made a bowl of soup, put the lid on and handed it to Liu Chengyi.Said: "Please be careful, sir, don't spill it on the road."

Liu Chengyi disliked the stale environment here, so he brought beef soup and beef back to the post house to eat.I looked at the people in the shed. Most of them were odd jobs working nearby. It was a good deal to eat here.

In the shed, a woman suddenly raised her head, with tears in her eyes, looking at Liu Chengyi's leaving figure.I thought about it again and again, but finally didn't stand up.

With a quick glance, it was clear that the man who bought beef just now was his younger brother.Just looking at his attire, he was now rich and wealthy, Liu Sanniang thought about it, but finally did not dare to stand up and recognize him.What should I do if I make a mistake?What should I do if my brother doesn't recognize me?
Just when Liu Sanniang was thinking wildly, Liu Chengyi had already walked far away carrying soup and meat.

While Liu Sanniang was drinking the soup, her tears couldn't stop flowing down and dripped into the bowl.

After finishing the soup, Liu Sanniang returned to her residence in a daze.As soon as I lay down on the bed, someone knocked on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw a strong man standing outside.Stretching his head and looking inside the room, the man said: "There are no guests inside? I came just in time! Come to the room quickly, I'm in a hurry here!"

Liu Sanniang stood at the door with a cold face and said, "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't do business!"

The man listened and said with a smile: "What did you say? This morning, Sun Erlang just came here to take care of your business, and now you feel uncomfortable? Could it be that you think I am poor and are afraid that I have no money to give you? Let me tell you, Pingyao is going to build a new city in the next few days, and the money is generous. With my craftsmanship, how can I have no money?"

Liu Sanniang looked at the man and said coldly: "I said I don't feel comfortable, but I just don't feel comfortable! Get out quickly, I want to sleep!"

The man chuckled: "Of course you sleep, I will sleep with you!"

As he spoke, Liu Sanniang dragged her into the room regardless of what she thought.He pushed Liu Sanniang onto the bed and said, "What's wrong with the discomfort? I'll do it myself!"

No matter how hard Liu Sanniang struggled, how could she defeat a strong man?Lying on the bed, I could only endure it.

Getting off the bed, the man took out a Luoyang Huizi and said: "Now that we are working, all the Luoyang Huizi are issued are brand new. Why don't you cherish it, woman!" After saying that, he picked up his pants and went out happily. went.

Liu Sanniang sat on the bed stupidly for a while, then suddenly lay on the bed and started crying.

After a while, Chunchun came in from outside and was shocked to see Liu Sanniang lying on the bed crying.He hurried over and asked, "Sister, why are you crying suddenly?"

Liu Sanniang stood up, wiped her tears and said, "It's nothing, I just feel bad for a moment."

Chunchun went to the door to get water, brought it into the room and said, "Sister, come here and wash your face. If you have any concerns, just tell me."

Liu Sanniang washed her face and sat there, staring blankly out of the window.After a while, he said: "Why am I so miserable -"

Chunchun was startled and said hurriedly: "Sister, we are already miserable people, what can we do? Save some money, let's go back to the Central Plains. Then we can find an honest man to marry, and it will last a lifetime."

Liu Sanniang shook her head and sighed, but remained silent.

After Wang Xiaolie occupied Pingyao, he arrested all the prostitutes and gamblers, leaving the remaining prostitutes to their fate.Most women really just choose an honest man to marry.After all, many honest people live a miserable life and would normally not be able to afford a wife.Others, like Liu Sanniang, continue to do business.I thought that after making a lot of money, I could go back to the Central Plains and maybe live a happy life.

These days, the business of Liu Sanniang and others is very good, much better than before.There is really a lot of money in my pocket.

After most prostitutes have money, they want to eat well and use it well, but they don't know how to save money.There are not many people like Liu Sanniang and Chunchun, they are still just saving their money as before.So the two people got close and helped each other.

Wang Xiaolie basically left these people alone.Whatever can help, will naturally help.For example, if you want to return to the Central Plains, the yamen has a special agency. When a certain number of people reach a certain number, the officials will send them back.There is even an official matchmaker to match them.But those who insist on doing business also let it go.

The officials forcefully help and arrange a way out for them, but their good intentions may not be rewarded.You think it gives them a new life, but they think it's disturbing her business.It is still up to them to decide what kind of life they choose.

With Chunchun waiting on her, Liu Sanniang sat for a while and drank two bowls of tea before she calmed down.He said to Chunchun: "Today at noon, I went to a beef shop outside to drink beef soup and met an officer who came to buy beef."

At this point, Liu Sanniang suddenly stopped talking again and stared blankly out of the window.

Chunchun laughed after hearing this and said, "Is this officer particularly handsome? Has my sister fallen in love with you?"

Liu Sanniang shook her head and said: "This officer looks like my little brother who has no news. At first glance, it looks more like it, but at second glance, it looks more like it. I couldn't help but look at it a few more times. How could I see it?" wrong?"

Chunchun was shocked and didn't know what to say.

Liu Sanniang said: "Looking at his attire, people in the army these days say that he is still quite an officer. Chunchun, do you think I should recognize him?"

"Of course you admit it? What are you worried about, sister?" After hearing this, Chunchun anxiously held Liu Sanniang's hand. "Isn't it because we have been in this situation over the years that our lives have been miserable? Your brother has made a difference, so he should save his sister from the fire. If you don't recognize it, what are you thinking?"

Liu Sanniang looked at Chunchun blankly and said: "What we do in this business is not a serious business. If we recognize him, I'm afraid it will ruin his future. I heard that Prime Minister Xuan's army has extremely strict military discipline. How can a sister like me tell others?"

Chunchun couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.After a while, he said: "This is because our lives are miserable, it's not a big deal. Besides, sister, do you really want to live a life like this with peace of mind? When you jump out of the sea of ​​fire, who will care about what you did these days?" "

Liu Sanniang listened and nodded after a while: "I'll think about it again."
