Chapter 94

After going out of the Chongxin Gate, and walking more than a hundred steps, Doctor Bai came to a wooden row building.

When I explored my spiritual consciousness, I felt that there was a miasma of smoke and turbidity everywhere.

Although he has not been in the world for a long time, he has seen a lot of life and people.

Naturally, it can be seen that this place is a prostitute village for the lower classes to seek pleasure and dispel.

Because most of the customers who come here are coolies who work hard to make ends meet, they don't have too many requirements on the level of the "service staff" inside.

Those time-wasting poems and songs should not be eaten or clothed, and they will be completely avoided.

The two sides met, negotiated a good price, and it was over after sweating.

According to the address provided by Xiao Yaotong, Doctor Bai walked to a relatively new wooden building in the southwest corner.

The owner of the wooden building seemed to love cleanliness, and cleaned the front of the door spotlessly. Some flowers and plants were planted on both sides of the door, which was rare to cover up some turbidity.

Doctor Bai reached out and gently knocked on the door.

Someone inside responded: "Guests wait a moment, I'll come right away."

Then there was a rush of footsteps.

The door opens.

A woman in thin clothes and heavy makeup came out.

The woman is young, about twelve or thirteen years old.

But deliberately put on a wild and seductive obsequiousness.

It seems that a little girl learns how to apply makeup and makeup from an adult, and it looks a little out of place.

The woman was stunned when she saw Doctor Bai.

Heart sigh: What a beautiful person!

And quite puzzled.

How could such a handsome person come here for entertainment?
Could it be that I went wrong?

For a moment, I was flustered and felt ashamed.

Cautiously said: "The guest is really good-looking. If you are looking for flowers and willows, why don't you go to the boats and boats by the West Lake? Here...something is not suitable."

Doctor Bai smiled gently.

He said softly: "Miss misunderstood, I am here to find someone, may I ask if Xu Youniang lives here?"

The woman's eyes widened.

My heart became more and more surprised.

Hastily nodded and replied: "The slave's family is Xu Youniang, I don't know why the guest is looking for me?"

Doctor Bai saluted.

"I want to ask for a girl's hair."

Seeing Xu Youniang froze in place, silent.

Knowing that the request is a bit abrupt.

According to the rules of the world, you need to pay for entrusting people to do things.

Then he took out three taels of silver from the medicine box and handed it over.

Wen Yan explained: "I want to find an old friend, but I don't know where this person is, so I learned a method of identifying people to search around. Please forgive me if I am presumptuous."

"Oh I got it."

Only then did Xu Youniang regain her senses.

Did not take the money from the other party.

He reached out and pulled out a few strands of hair.

He smiled and said: "The guest is really a caring person. A few strands of hair are not worth the money of the guest. Just take it."

A little hesitation.

He added: "But maybe I want to disappoint the guests, the slave family should not be your old friend."

Doctor Bai took the hair.

Put the silver in Xu Youniang's palm.

"In any case, thank you girl for your help."

Xu Youniang didn't refuse any more.

She said shyly, "Thank you for the guest, the slave family will be ashamed, to be honest, the guest's money saved the slave family from being beaten and scolded by father."

When Bai Ying heard this, she frowned slightly.

It turns out that in human nature, a father will let his daughter out to do such a dirty job for money, and beats and scolds at every turn.

First time hearing such things.

I sighed secretly in my heart: ordinary people are really strange.

In order to avoid showing flaws when dealing with people in the future, he asked: "Does your father often beat you for money?"

Xu Youniang also wanted to spend a little longer with this handsome man.

He didn't hide anything, and opened up the chatterbox.

[-] replies: "Actually it's not Daddy's fault, it's all because I'm a loser."

"At present, Daddy is not in good health. In order to let my brother study with peace of mind, he has to be busy all day long. The time when the family needs money makes the guests laugh."

Dr. Bai has heard a little about the words "losing money".

If the woman gave birth to a boy, the whole family would be happy.

If a girl is born, she will be called a "loser".

Although I don't know why there is a patriarchal habit.

But after all, do as the Romans do, even if you feel puzzled, you should not say too much.

Just smiled and nodded.

Xu Youniang saw that the other party didn't think she was long-winded.

Secretly rejoiced.

Then he continued: "Brother Xu Wenyou is very knowledgeable. Daddy promised me that he would pick me up when my brother was named on the gold list, and the family will live a happy life..."

Xu Youniang chattered a lot like a bird.

Doctor Bai has been listening carefully with a smile on his face.

Nod your head now and then.

I learned that her father and elder brother were both surnamed Xu.

Then he took out another three taels of silver and asked her to help fetch their hair.

Make an appointment, say goodbye and leave.

After Doctor Bai left, Xu Youniang carefully put the six taels of silver into a wooden box.

There are hundreds of Wen in the box, which is her income for the past two days.

Counting the days with his fingers, guessing that his father will come, his heart is filled with anticipation and joy.

Soon.

A skinny old man with brown spots on his face wandered over to find him.

A bent and twisted pipe shaped like a funnel hangs from his waist.

This person is the biological father of Youniang, Xu Dalu.

Xu Dalu came to the door, lay on the door and listened for a while.

Know that there are no customers "busy".

With a smile, he pushed the door open and entered.

When the young mother saw him, she was overjoyed.

Hastily served tea and water, and presented several fresh snacks.

Xu Dalu asked a few questions about his daughter's recent situation in a caring manner.

The young girl answered truthfully.

Xu Dalu didn't care too much, and went around in circles to get back to the topic.

"Young lady, your brother is going to study at Yueli Academy. It's a rare opportunity. I have to help with a few things in advance, so..."

Xu Youniang nodded hurriedly.

Said: "Daddy, please rest assured to take care of it, money matters... My daughter will work hard to attract customers in the future."

Then get the wooden box to make money.

"A distinguished guest came today and rewarded my daughter six taels of silver, and the 740 Wen I earned in the past few days, all here."

When Xu Dalu saw Yinzi, his eyes lit up immediately.

Every time he came back to ask his daughter for money, he had to try his best to make up excuses.

In the end, what I got was only a few hundred coins, and it was gone after two hands in the gambling stall.

True without cost.

Recently, a senior official from the capital came to Yuhang County to recuperate.

The servants in the high official's house all wear gold and silver, and spend a lot of money.

He also took out a stuff called "Fubao Ointment" and secretly sold it.

It is said that it is a good treasure that only the nobles in the palace can enjoy.

Xu Dalu borrowed money here and there, scraped together two taels of silver, and finally bought a small piece the size of a fingertip.

As for feeling...

He took only one sip when he went back.

Then I felt comfortable all over my body, and even my three souls and seven souls felt refreshed as if they were about to fly.

It is indeed something that only princes and nobles can enjoy.

Since then, Xu Dalu even went to less gambling stalls.

As long as you have money, you must buy Fubao ointment as soon as possible.

Now the daughter brought six taels of silver in one breath, and counting the copper coins, it was nearly seven taels.

Finally, I can have a good time.

I feel very refreshed.

Even her daughter, whom she had always looked down upon, became much more pleasing to the eye.

It is rare to praise her sincerely.

Xu Youniang was praised by her father, and she immediately smiled.

Xu Dalu got the money and was not in a hurry to leave.

After all, his daughter is his biggest source of income, and this father-daughter relationship still needs to be maintained.

Sit down with crossed legs.

While drinking tea and eating snacks, I picked out some interesting things that happened in the city recently, and told my young mother.

"My dear girl, you don't know that the people in that palace live like gods.

Just talking about this Fubao ointment, your father and I just took a sip, and I feel full of energy. I don’t feel tired after running around the West Lake. It is really a panacea. "

Xu Youniang was trapped in the wooden building of this prostitute village all day long, so how could she get in touch with the outside world.

He took Xu Dalu's words seriously.

Hastily said with concern: "Daddy's health is not good, since the effect of Fubao ointment is so good, why don't you ask the nobleman to give you more."

Xu Dalu saw his daughter took the bait.

Secretly happy.

He put on a troubled look on his face.

Sighing, he said: "But the elixir is too expensive, besides, your brother is at the critical time of his studies, and he has to spend money everywhere, how can he be distracted by me?"

Xu Youniang gently held his hand.

He pursed his lips.

Firmly said: "Dad, don't worry, my daughter will continue to work hard to make money."

Xu Dalu patted her hand with satisfaction.

"Young mother has grown up and is more sensible now. Father is happy for you."

Xu Youniang was praised again, and her heart became more and more joyful.

She showed an innocent smile that belonged to her age.

Asked curiously: "Is there any other interesting things, I beg Dad to tell my daughter more."

Xu Dalu chewed the tea leaves.

Think for a while.

Said: "A few days ago, I heard that there was a disturbance in Xiaonan Lake, which killed more than a dozen people."

"Ah~"

The young girl couldn't help but exclaimed.

He hurriedly said, "What should I do?"

Xu Dalu smiled triumphantly.

"Don't worry, Master Fahai of Guangyuan Temple personally punishes the evil spirits. You don't know that Master Fahai is only six years old this year, but he can attract the Buddha's light from the sky. It is spread all over the city, saying that he is a The reincarnation of the Buddha is truly remarkable."

Xu Youniang knew nothing about Guangyuan Temple and Master Fahai.

But after hearing that the weird thing was eliminated, the hanging heart slowly relaxed.

Xu Dalu is just the opposite.

He didn't realize that the weird thing was dangerous.

Yuhang County is full of outstanding people, and there are countless high-level people, so it is not their turn to be infested by mere weird things.

Even if something happens, it will be calmed down in the blink of an eye.

Then he talked about another funny thing that made him laugh so hard that he couldn't sleep.

"You still remember the old Chen's house that sold wontons?"

The young girl nodded.

"Remember, his wontons are delicious."

"Humph."

Xu Dalu sneered twice.

Turning the topic around, he said: "The old Chen and I have been at loggerheads. Fortunately, God opened his eyes and made him bewitched. He actually killed the whole family with a kitchen knife. What do you think, can't you be happy with Coke?"

After speaking, the more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes.

He laughed to himself.

Although Xu Youniang felt that the dead were great, she shouldn't laugh.

But my father didn't dare to refute in person.

I had no choice but to go along with the dry laugh twice.

The two chatted for a while, mostly Xu Dalu said, Xu Youniang listened quietly.

When Xu Dalu was about to leave.

The young mother brought a handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers from the house. She sewed it with her own hands. It was a small gift for her brother and asked her father to pass it on for her.

Xu Dalu nodded perfunctorily, and took the handkerchief.

The young girl hesitated for a moment.

Biting his lip.

Cautiously asked: "Daddy, can my daughter go home and have a look, it will be fine in a day... half a day, after offering incense sticks to mother, my daughter will come back."

Xu Dalu waved his hand.

Rejected: "The exam is approaching, your brother is studying hard, you can't disturb him at this time."

The young girl lowered her head in disappointment.

No more questions.

Seeing this, Xu Dalu frowned.

The daughter, a cash cow, can't be unhappy, otherwise, when the guests come and see her crying, what can I do?How does she make money?

Rolling his eyes, he had an idea.

The tone was gentle and said: "Wenyou and the son of a high-ranking official are classmates and friends. The two of them have a close friendship and often discuss education together. This kind of relationship must be handled carefully. Your business... After all, it is not convenient for outsiders to know , or wait patiently."

This is words of comfort.

It sounds like a sharp thorn, trying to pierce the heart.

The brilliance in the young lady's eyes gradually dimmed.

Only then did Xu Dalu realize that what he just said had the opposite effect.

Busy back to make up for it.

"Young lady, don't be sad. When your brother is named on the gold list and becomes a high official, we will have a big house and a house full of servants. Then father will take you home to enjoy the blessings."

Xu Youniang still lowered her head and remained silent.

Xu Dalu was also a little worried that the excuses he used to try Bailing suddenly didn't work.

But I was in a hurry to buy Fubao ointment and go back to enjoy it, so I had no choice but to comfort me a few words, pat my ass and leave.

After Xu Dalu left.

The young mother held back her tears for a long time, before big drops fell down.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

Through the window, the young lady saw that there was a guest coming to the door.

Can't bear to cry.

I hurriedly wiped away my tears and put on heavy makeup.

Continue to put on a happy face and open the door to welcome guests.
