Chapter 46

"Let's leave this rabbit lantern for Siya to play with." Meng Duo saw that there was only one left, which happened to be Siya's zodiac sign.Besides, this girl has been staring at it for a long time, unless the blind man can't see her little thoughts.

Meng laughed and reached out to pick it up, when he suddenly heard a domineering voice, "I want this!"

He turned his head and saw a boy about eight or nine years old standing in front of the stall, followed by two people dressed as servants.

A young servant took out scattered silver from his pocket and still put it on the case, another young servant quickly took off the lantern, and handed it to the young master flatteringly.

The little boy turned his head and walked away, Siya burst into tears when she saw this.

"Sorry, this is not for sale!" Xiao Qiang hurried over to block the way of the three master and servant.

The young master frowned, and the servant next to him immediately said: "It's rare that our young master takes a fancy to your broken lantern, and you all become hypocritical. At most, I'll give you a little more money, isn't it just to raise the price? Look how many of you He looks like a country bumpkin, but he is quite good at doing business." After speaking, he took out two taels of silver and threw it over with disdain, his chin raised high, with a look of contempt.

Meng Da frowned when he saw it, and the anger in Xiao Qiang's stomach rushed up all at once.He has always been reckless in situations, otherwise he would not easily fall into the trap set by the second master.Although he owes the famine, his family has fields and houses, and he has never been suffocated in living.How could he be reconciled to being despised by a slave girl right now?
"It's great to be rich? I won't sell it today, what can you do?" Xiao Qiang and Meng Da both do physical labor all year round, and they are tall and strong.He stood in front of the boy, raised his eyebrows and spoke in a rough voice, which was a bit scary.

"Do you know who our young master is?" The young man shrank his head, then puffed out his chest and shouted boldly, "Don't say that the things that young master likes are for you to buy, just pick them up and buy them." It’s okay to walk. If you want to get out of the town safely, just get out of the way, and it’s too late to regret it!”

"Haha, I don't know who your young master is, but I know who you are!" Xiao Qiang laughed instead of being angry.

The boy was startled when he heard that, "You know me?"

"Stupid one!" Xiao Qiang snorted heavily, "I even ask me who the master I am serving is, what is not stupid!"

Immediately, someone beside him burst into laughter, and the boy's face turned blue and white, "Are you swearing?"

"Trash, you only know when someone slaps you in the face!" The little boy was a little annoyed when he saw his servant being teased, and gave the boy a hard look, "I can't even deal with a few bumpkins, I'll deal with you when I go back! "

"My lord, you can't take advantage of the immediate loss. My aunt is over there, we'll talk about it when I get back." The other boy looked very clever.

It seems that he is the young master of a rich family, he is usually spoiled and can't bear the slightest grievance.Now that there is a beam, I'm afraid their master and servant will go back and talk nonsense.If the adults in the family are sensible, it will be fine, otherwise this matter is big or small.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a festive day, and no one wants to make trouble.What's more, Meng Da took Meng Duo and his younger siblings out together, fearing that something might happen and hurt them.Besides, given their current situation, they don't have the capital to play tricks.People have to bow their heads under the eaves, Meng Da has a bit of arrogance in his bones but not pedantic.

"Young master, please stop." He took a step forward and grabbed Xiao Qiang, "This lantern is not worth much, since you like to take it. My brother likes to joke, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month makes everyone laugh, young master don't go there Go with your heart."

"This sounds like a human saying, but it's too late! Our cats and dogs are precious, and anyone can make a joke? Don't think that you can get it done with the usual low-key manner of a country bumpkin. As the saying goes, beating a dog is a must." Look at the master, you really messed with the wrong person today!" The other boy sneered, with a look of reluctance.

Meng Da smiled instead of anger when he heard the words, and said slowly: "Jingui, your cat and dog, we rough people deserve to be looked down upon by you and called country bumpkins? The people who come here today are all folks from ten miles and eight villages. People from the town, counting up to three generations, you can’t run away from the country. Little brother, you can’t overturn a boat with a single blow. What’s wrong with the country bumpkins? Didn’t steal or rob, didn’t do heartless and immoral things, harming anyone Who are you offending? We are all country bumpkins, what is the family of the little brother, what are the eight generations of ancestors?"

There were already some people around, and they all nodded when they heard what he said, "You can bully people if you have money? They clearly said they wouldn't sell it, but you insisted on buying it by force. It's not unreasonable for you to take it when they give it away for nothing. "

"Hmph, he's just a lackey, yet he's so arrogant! What's wrong with the bumpkin? I'm just a bumpkin, so whoever has an opinion can tell me!" A drunk came out of nowhere. He was shirtless in the cold. Drunk and a little drunk.

When the two young men saw this, they were afraid of causing trouble, so they wanted to leave to protect the young master.Suddenly I saw a group of people approaching not far away, and the nervousness on their faces turned into excitement.

"Housekeeper, the young master is here!" The servant stretched his neck and yelled vigorously, even hopping and waving his hands.

When the group of people came over, they realized that the servants and servants were at the head, and the two bearers behind were carrying a soft sedan chair, followed by maids and mothers-in-law.The curtain of the sedan chair was rolled up, a layer of tulle was lowered, and a noble lady was vaguely seen sitting inside.

"Xuan'er, come here." The sedan chair landed, and the lady inside called softly.

Meng Duo was startled when he heard the voice, and then he recognized the appearance of the girl next to him, and he was overjoyed and hurried forward.

"Sister Pomegranate, happy New Year." She hurried over to wish Pomegranate a new year.

The little boy had already got into the sedan chair, and he could vaguely see him rubbing against Chen's aunt's arms like a candy cane, his voice was a little coquettish and soft.

"It's just a festive lantern, and it's against the will of others!" With kindness and pampering, "Let them buy you ten or eight, why bother to let people watch on the street? Your father will come over in a few days, and carefully beat him." you!"

"It's different! That lantern is a cute little rabbit, I plan to give it to my father."

"Xuan'er is such a filial child!" Aunt Chen's tone became softer after hearing these words, and she quickly dripped water.

There were servants nearby who had already dispersed the crowd, and the two servants following the young master saw that Meng Duo and Shiliu knew each other well, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Aunt Chen saw Meng Duo through the curtain, and beckoned her over to talk, knowing it was just a misunderstanding, she was not offended.

"No wonder Xuan'er likes it, this lantern is really exquisite and special." She looked at the lantern and praised, "You can't touch the needle and thread during the first month, and you can come here when it's February. I don't worry about handing over Xuan'er's underwear to others. It's all waiting for you."

"It's rare that my aunt doesn't dislike it. I'm willing to obey." Meng Duo was relieved when he saw that the matter had been resolved peacefully, and took out two taels of silver, "It's an honor for the young master to like me to make lanterns. You must not ask for this money."
