At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 246

Gao Bufan found out that Chunhuafang was located near Dingdingmen, so he crossed Luoshui from Tianjin Bridge and walked south along Dingdingmen Street. "The three big characters should be here.

It is said that Luoyang City is divided into hundreds of squares, large and small, and the streets are horizontally and vertically divided neatly, just like tofu blocks, and each square is built with walls and doors on all sides, just like a self-contained city. One small city.Each square has a village chief who is responsible for management affairs, which is equivalent to the director of the current street office, but the area of ​​the square is much smaller, about [-] steps from the north to the south, and the management is quite strict, because entering and exiting must pass through the gate. At night, the gates of each workshop are closed, and entry and exit are not allowed except under special circumstances. Of course, there are also bold people who dare to sneak over the walls.

At this moment, under the archway of Chunhuafang, there was a man dozing off in the sun, with a wooden stick beside him. It seemed that the Fang Ding, who was in charge of guarding the gate, was the same as the current security guard. The only difference was that he was wearing a Outfits, riot shields and steel forks are the standard equipment of modern security, but this Fang Ding only has a wooden stick, and looking at the drowsy appearance of this guy, he is probably still a war scum.

"Hey brother, may I ask if Li Jing, the foreigner of the driving department, lives here?" Gao Ren stepped forward and kicked Fang Ding's broken boots and asked.

The shopkeeper opened his sleepy eyes, probably because he was disturbed to sleep, and his expression was rather displeased. Gao Ren smiled and handed over an orange, which he bought at a walking ghost stall on the side of the road just now, and was going to take it as a souvenir. It was the first time I came to Li Jing's house, so I was embarrassed to be empty-handed.

Fang Ding took the oranges, his complexion looked much better immediately, he peeled the skins and started to eat, nodded and said: "Yes, why are you looking for him? Isn't it to collect debts from Zhang Po? If it is to collect debts, I advise you It’s better to die this heart.”

Gao Ren scratched his head: "Who is Mrs. Zhang? Our Mr. Gao is here to find Li Jing, a member of the Ministry of He."

Fang Ding laughed and said: "That's okay, hey, go forward from here, turn right on the cross street and take the third room, the one with the door behind it is the one."

Gao Bufan cupped his hands: "Thank you!" He threw another orange to Fang Ding, and walked towards the workshop.

Fang Ding took the oranges, and kindly reminded: "If the young master is looking for Li Jing, just stand at the door of his house and yell. It is best not to enter his house, and don't touch things randomly, and don't be greedy for petty gains."

Gao Bufan was stunned for a moment, full of doubts, but he still thanked him.Gao Ren carried a few catties of mutton in his left hand and a basket of oranges in his right hand, and followed Gao Bufan step by step, jokingly said, "Master Bufan, is Li Jing's house a dragon's lake and a tiger's lair?"

That Fang Ding was probably also a chatterbox, and he interjected with a smile: "Longtan is not necessarily, but it must be a tiger's den, and a tigress is even more difficult to mess with."

Gao Bufan, master and servant, went to the cross street and turned right in a daze. Sure enough, the door of the third house was ajar, and a woman in red was setting up a street stall at the door, and she didn't know what she was selling. .

The two walked to the stall and found that there was only a plate and a bamboo tube. The plate contained fried beans and the like, and a chopstick was placed on it, while the bamboo tube was full of five baht coins. .

The woman in red looked to be about thirty years old, and her appearance was not bad, although she was a bit unkempt, her hair was loosely tied behind her head, her face was not covered with makeup, but she was wearing a gaudy red dress, and she was using a rough Concentrate on mending clothes with both hands.

"Hey aunt, what are you doing?" Gao Ren asked curiously.

The woman in red immediately frowned, looked up at Gao Ren, and said fiercely, "If you don't have eyes, who are you calling me?"

Gao Ren shrank his neck involuntarily, pointed to the fried beans on the ground, and said with a smile, "Sister, what kind of business are you doing?"

The woman in red immediately put on a warm smile and said, "Let's bet, as long as you can eat the beans on the plate with a chopstick, the money next to it will be yours."

Gao Ren's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Is it true, is there such a good thing? Eldest sister is not just entertaining me!"

The woman in red immediately patted her chest and said, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can inquire about it. I, Zhang Chuchen, am well-known as a kind person in Chunhuafang.

Gao Bufan's heart skipped a beat, and he almost fell head over heels. The vulgar aunt is actually Li Jing's wife, Hong Fu Nu. This image is really...unspeakable.It is said that Hong Fu Nu is not the singer of Yang Su's mansion?Later, she fell in love with Li Jing and ran away from Yang Su's mansion at night to marry Li Jing. Such a legendary woman, even if she is not as good as Gongsun Yingxiu, even if she is old and decrepit, at least she shouldn't look like this, right?

However, it can be seen that the woman in red still has her roots. There is a high probability that after marrying Li Jing, she was tortured like this by the cruel pig-killing knife of time!

Gao Ren was obviously moved, grabbed the chopstick on the plate and said, "Then let me try it."

But Hong Fu Nu stretched out her foot and stopped it above the plate, at the same time she stretched out her right hand and said, "Ten coins for one try."

Gao Ren's eyes widened immediately: "Is there still money to be given?"

Hong Fu Nu curled her lips and said, "Or do you think it's a free gift? How can there be such a good thing in this world?"

Gao Ren glanced at the copper coins in the bamboo tube, and conservatively estimated that there were three hundred coins, which was thirty times the return, so he gritted his teeth and took out ten coins and put them in Hong Fu's hands, ready to give it a go, turning a bicycle into a motorcycle!
A look of joy flashed in Hong Fu Nu's eyes, she put the ten cents into her bag, and said solemnly: "I have decided to leave, and I have no regrets about leaving, let's talk about it first, you can only use this chopstick, you can't grab it with your hands, and you can't eat it with your hands." Eat it directly with your mouth, let alone lick it with your tongue."

"Forget it!" Gao Ren waved his hand impatiently, took the chopsticks and tried to pick up the fried beans in the plate, but the beans were round, and the chopsticks were also round, how could it be possible to pick them up, Gao Ren picked After several failed attempts, he shook his head and said, "Impossible, how could one eat beans with a chopstick, it's clearly a scam!"

Red Fu Nu put her waist on her hips and poked her hand almost under Gao Laoer's nose, she scolded loudly: "Little fat man, who are you talking about cheating? If you can't eat it, it doesn't mean others can't eat it, let alone you My wife didn't force you to do what I wanted, so why did you cheat me?"

Gao Ren's face was flushed from the spray, and he wiped the saliva off his face. He took a few steps back, and said in shock, "Sister, you are the legendary Zhang cock, right?"

Hong Fu Nu was furious, and asked with a look of choosing someone to devour: "Legend? Who passed it on?"

Gao Ren was startled, and subconsciously pointed in the direction of the Fangmen: "The uncle who guards the Fangmen!"

Hong Fu Nu yelled: "So it's Liu Laosan, a dead dog. I won't be named Zhang until I pinch your yolk out today!" After she finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fierce radiance, looking like a tigress.

Gao Bufan was sweating secretly, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law calm down, please be safe and don't be impatient."

Hong Fu's eyes stared: "Your boy's onion? You calm down the anger of the old lady, don't get close to the old lady, don't call me sister-in-law, it's useless to call my elder sister my mother."

dang dang...

Gao Bufan sprinkled a handful of copper coins into the bamboo tube, Hong Fu Nu's eyes were sharp, she could count no less than thirty coins at a glance, her eyes lit up, she immediately put on a smiling face, cast a winking eye and said: "Young master is too polite." Well, anyway, my lord sister has a lot, so I don't care about your servants, and I don't care about the watchdog Liu Laosan."

Gao Ren couldn't help being stunned, this woman changed her face really fast enough, she was aggressive, philistine, thick-skinned, and poisonous-mouthed, no wonder she got the nickname Zhang Jipo.

Gao Bufan pointed to the plate, smiled and said, "I want to try it too, okay?"

Hong Fu Nu rolled her eyes and said, "Of course, it's only [-] yuan a time. The payment just now doesn't count."

Gao Bufan happily took out twenty Wen from his purse and handed it to Hong Fu Nu, who immediately said with a smile on his face, "Try it, you know the rules, so I won't say much about it."

Gao Ren made a retching movement, Gao Bufan smiled slightly, took the chopsticks and snapped them into two pieces, then used the two chopsticks to easily pick up a fried bean and put it into his mouth...
