funny marriage

Chapter 2 Qixi meets green shirt and dances with affection
But he said that when the family tree walked to the door of the outer altar, a woman suddenly called him, and when the woman approached, he didn't recognize her.When the woman saw that the family tree stopped, she guessed that he was Mr. Fan.Walking to the side, he smiled at Jiashu: "Mr. Fan, the girl who sang the big drum just now is my daughter. Thank you." Jiashu looked at the woman, who was about 40 years old, and smiled when she saw her. Slightly wrinkled.The family tree said: "Oh! You are the girl's mother, do you have anything to say to me?" The woman said: "It's rare to have such a good man as your husband. I want to find out which yamen the husband is in?" The family tree is low He shook his head, brushed his hands over his body, and then smiled at the woman, "Where do I look like I'm in a yamen? Let me tell you, I'm a student." The woman smiled. : "I look like a young master. Our family lives at No. [-] Shuiche Hutong. Master Fan is fine, so you can come to our house for a sit-down. My surname is Shen, and you will be right there to find someone surnamed Shen."

While talking, the girl who sang the big drum also came over.When the woman saw it, she asked her, "Girl, why don't you sing?" The girl said, "Second Uncle said that with the money this gentleman gave, he quit today, and he wants to drink." Then, he stood behind the woman, turned his hands away, and took his braids to the front, just stroking his hands.When Jiashu first saw her singing the big drum, he thought it was good, but now he saw that she was full of affection, without a little frivolity. There are such characters in the world, but it is rare.Yin smiled and said, "So you are all one family, so it's very easy. Why don't you go to the Luozi Hall to sing?" The woman sighed and said, "It's not for being poor! You see, our girl wears such a suit Clothes, how can I go to the Luozi Pavilion? Besides, his second uncle is not popular, and he can't find anyone to help. If we meet a good person like you every day, we will be able to chew the grain. Looking for something else? Young master Fan, where is your house? Can we go to say hello?" The family tree told her the location, and said with a smile: "That's our relative's house." While talking, he walked out of the outer altar Door.Because there were many people on the road, it was inconvenient to talk to her mother and daughter, so I hired a car and went back first.

When we got home, it was already dusk.Jiashu had some tea, and his cousin Tao Bohe invited him to the dining room for dinner.Tao Bohe has a five-year-old young lady and a three-year-old young master, accompanied by a nanny.There are only three seats for the couple, together with the family tree.Sitting on the family tree, he and his wife turned their heads.Mrs. Tao looked at the family tree while eating and said with a smile: "This morning, my cousin likes to travel alone, is it interesting?" I have to travel alone." Bo He said, "Where are you coming today?" Jia Shu said, "Listening to an opera." Mrs. Tao looked at him and smiled, with two "emerald autumn leaves" falling from her ears, slapping her face Going up, vacillating, shook his head slightly and said: "That's not right." When he said that, he held the chopsticks for eating in his hand, poked it lightly on the face of Jiashu, and said with a smile: "The face is so sunburned." It’s so popular, there shouldn’t be such a strong sun in the theater.” Bo He also laughed and said, “According to Liu Fu, you know Tianqiao, an old man who practices hand-style, and that old man has a girl.” Jiashu said with a smile "That's a joke. Could it be that I made friends with him just because he has a girl?" Mrs. Tao said: "My cousin is really a commoner, but you can't mess with people like this. Make a girlfriend..." At this point, he pointed the tip of the chopsticks at the tip of his nose, and said with a smile, "I have some, I can introduce you to them!" Jiashu said: "My cousin said this several times, But I have never introduced one to me." Mrs. Tao said: "You are at home, how can I introduce you? You must follow me to the Beijing Hotel before I can introduce you." Jiashu said: "I don't know I know how to dance, but when I go to the ballroom, I just watch people dance and sit in a daze, that's not interesting at all." Mrs. Tao laughed and said: "It's not interesting to go once or twice. But I go a lot, and I know After you have a girlfriend, you will find it interesting. In any case, it is much better than going to Tianqiao to sit in that smelly and smelly little teahouse." Jiashu said: "My cousin always wonders what I will do when I go to Tianqiao. Meaning, in fact, I have only been there two or three times. If you want to talk about the kind of moves they practice, you can’t look at them with the eyes of the rivers and lakes. It doesn’t matter whether it’s from the Jianghu school or not, he’s gone far away, what’s the point of arguing with him?”

When Jiashu heard this, he suddenly became puzzled.How did he know that Guan Shoufeng had gone far away?I wanted to ask a question, but firstly, I was too concerned to ask such a question, and secondly, I was afraid that Liu Fu had reported it.At this moment, Liu Fu was standing by, serving the meal, and if he questioned him, he might add a crime to Liu Fu, so he kept silent.

Usually after dinner, Mrs. Tao would start to get busy with grooming, because going to the Beijing Hotel to dance, or going to see movies at the True Light and Ping An Cinemas all started at this time.So as soon as Mrs. Tao put down her chopsticks, she went into the inner room of the upper room.The family tree said: "My cousin is busy changing clothes, and it looks like she is going to dance again." Bo He said, "Let's go together tonight, okay?" Suit." Bo He said: "Why do you need a suit, just wear something more beautiful." Having said that, he smiled.He also said: "As long as the clothes on the body are wrinkle-free and the hair is combed smoothly, you can also win the favor of your girlfriend." Jiashu said with a smile: "This way, it's not that women want to please themselves, but Scholars tolerate those who please themselves." Bohe said: "We tolerate those who please ourselves. You must know that others have to dress up to please us. If you don't believe me, go to the dance hall and see those women in strange clothes. What is she for? Is it all for looking in the mirror?” Jiashu said with a smile: “You should say less, if your cousin hears it, it’s just a negotiation.” Bo He said: “This is not an insult. Ah! Women are good at grooming, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that they have the idea of ​​seducing men. It’s just a little bit of vanity, thinking that they are good-looking, and can be envied and praised. Therefore, foreign men can compliment a woman on her beauty in person. If your cousin is in the dance hall, if someone praises her for being beautiful, not only will I not be jealous, but I will also like her very much. However, she may not have the qualifications."

While talking, the two of them walked to the living room of the upper room.On the round table in the middle, there was a square glass box. The edges and corners of the glass were rolled with five-color printed silk, and the inside of the box was also covered with red silk.Jia Shu said: "Who gave this cousin a silver shield? The box is exquisite, where is the silver shield?" Bohe took half of the cigar in his mouth, and tilted the cigar with his lips, smiled and said: "You carefully Look, this is not a box for silver shields!" Jiashu said: "It really is not, this box is big but not tall, and the box holder is too short, what is it for? Could it be for jade wares?" Bo He laughed Said: "The more you guess, the farther you go. Let's not talk about it for now. After a while, you will understand." Jiashu smiled and stopped asking, thinking: I will have to see what happened later. What is it? ... After a while, Mrs. Tao came out.She was wearing a silver-gray silk long gown, which had to be level with her knees. Along the sides of the long gown, she had peach-colored wide braids. In the middle of the braids, there were blue fine flowers and sparkling rhinestones. She was naked. A part of the neck is hung with a pair of bead rings, which naturally looks gorgeous in the plain.Before Jiashu opened his mouth, Mrs. Tao smiled and said: "Cousin! I just made this dress, okay?" Jiashu said: "My cousin is a person who pays attention to art. That's good." Mrs. Tao said: "I think Chinese silk is the most beautiful when making women's clothes. Therefore, no matter what season I make clothes, they are always made of Chinese materials. Even shoes, I am the same I don't advocate those Indian satins and Indian silks." When she said that, she lifted one of her jade legs and stepped on the round stool.When Jiashu looked at it, he was wearing white silk stockings tightly wrapped around his thighs, and a pair of silver-gray satin dancing shoes on his feet.Thin red braids are also inlaid along the shoe mouth, and there are still very thin rhinestones in the red braids, which catch people's eyes.Across the instep, there is a lock belt with beads lined up on the belt. In the middle of the toe of the shoe, there is a delicate butterfly. The butterfly has two eyes, but there are two beads.Jiashu said with a smile: "This pair of shoes is really too delicate. You can only put your feet on the carpet. If you go to the ground casually, you will disgrace this pair of shoes." Mrs. Tao said: " People in Beijing say, clean your hands, wash your nails, and make your shoes muddy. Haven’t you heard that? Let’s not talk about these shoes, even the glass box in which they are placed is pretty good.” Pointing, Jiashu suddenly realized that such an exquisite thing is still a shoe box!
At this time, Mrs. Tao had already put on the shoes, and was walking around on the smooth floor, she only lowered her head to inspect them.Unexpectedly, Jiashu interjected and asked, "How many pairs of these shoes do you want?" Then Mrs. Tao turned around and said with a smile, "I don't know how much it is, because I met me in a shoe store, and I introduced him. Two 3000 yuan for business, so I gave me a pair of shoes as a thank you." Jiashu said: "Two 3000 yuan? How many pairs of shoes are there?" Mrs. Tao said: "Don't say such unworldly words, dancing Shoes don’t cost a few yuan a pair. Better yet, a pair of shoes costing 40 yuan is a very common thing, and that’s nothing.” Jiashu said: “So that’s how it is. It's fake, and it should be worth tens of dollars." Mrs. Tao said: "Small beads are worthless, so they are real." Jiashu laughed and said, "My cousin is wearing such a nice new dress. , and wearing such good shoes, I must go to the Beijing Hotel to dance today." Mrs. Tao said: "Naturally. Today Bohe will go, and you will go too. You introduce two girlfriends." Jiashu said with a smile: "I just told Bohe that I won't go without a suit." Bohe said: "I also said that it is not a problem without a suit, why do you still mention it? What about this?" Jiashu said, "Even if I have long clothes, I don't have good ones."... Seeing that Bohe couldn't persuade Mrs. Tao, she went back to the room by herself, took a bottle of perfume, As soon as he combed his teeth, he turned the perfume bottle over and sprinkled water on his head without asking questions.Jiashu quickly turned his head to avoid it, and Mrs. Tao said: "No, no, you have to comb it. Otherwise, I won't take you there." Jiashu smiled and said, "I don't want to go." Bohe said: "Let me tell you the truth. Dancing is fine. You must listen to the music at the Beijing Hotel. The leader of his band there is the president of the Russian University of Music, Tolajiv." Jiashu said: "The president of a national university, Why go to a hotel to be the leader of a music team?" Bo He said: "Because he is a white party and cannot be tolerated by the red government, he came to China. If Russia is still an empire now, he will naturally have food. Why did he come to China?" How about coming from China?" The family tree said: "As expected, I have to go. Beijing is a good place after all, and all talents will gather here." Mrs. Tao was very happy when he saw that he said to go, and urged the family tree to change After taking off her clothes, she and her husband and wife took their own car and came to Beijing Hotel.

By this time, dinner was over.After the meal, everyone was in high spirits and was about to dance.Uncle and his wife and Jiashu chose a pair of seats and sat facing the middle of the ballroom.People coming in from the outside are also coming in one after another.At this time, there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman wearing a light green silk western dance dress, her arms and snow-white chest and back were exposed to the outside.This was a very common thing in the Beijing Hotel, but the strangest thing was that her appearance was very similar to the girl who sang the big drum.It's not that she has cut her hair, I really doubt that she is one.Because it was so strange, Jiashu kept looking at the girl with both eyes.At the same time, Mrs. Tao stood up and nodded to the girl.The girl must come over, and Mrs. Tao smiled at Jiashu: "Let me introduce you, this is Miss He Lina!" Then she gave Jiashu her name.Mrs. Tao said: "Who did Miss come with?" He Lina said: "There is no one, but I am alone." Mrs. Tao said: "Then, you can sit with us." Uncle and his wife are connected Those who sit, Bohe sits in the middle, Mrs. Tao sits on the left, Jiashu sits on the right, and there is an empty chair on the right of the family tree.Mrs. Tao said: "Miss He! Just sit here." When Miss He turned her head, she saw an empty chair there, and sat down on that chair unceremoniously.Jia Shu didn't have to look at her first, but he could smell a burst of fragrant and rich makeup. Although he didn't look at her, he couldn't help but think in his heart, thinking that this person is beautiful because he is beautiful, and he is too slutty... …

The waiter in the hotel knew He Lina very well. Seeing her sitting down, he came over with a smile and called "Miss He!" He Lina waved her hand, and said something in a very low voice, but it sounded like English.After a while, the servant brought a bottle of beer and put a glass in front of He Lina.He uncorked the bottle and poured her a full glass.The wine was poured quickly, bubbling with bubbles, just swirling in the wine glass.He Lina didn't wait for the wine to stop, she picked up the glass and took a sip with a "gulp".When drinking, put the left leg on the right leg, and the flesh-colored silk socks tightly wrap the round and smooth skin, which can be clearly seen under the electric light.

At that moment, Jiashu thought to himself: Chinese people think women's bodies are mysterious, so they don't describe the beauty of the body very much in words. Cherry, everything is praised, but there is absolutely nothing that praises people's two legs.Especially the two legs of the ancients were respected very much. They thought that it would not look good to wear cross-leg pants, so they must wear a long skirt to cover the toes.Now that we are infected with Western civilization, women want the beauty of the West, and everyone tries to show their legs.In fact, these two legs, apart from being provocative, are not necessarily beautiful.Jiashu thought so, fixed his eyes on Miss Lina's knees, and looked down intently.When Mrs. Tao saw it, she smiled at Bo He, and then touched Bo He with her arm. Bo He understood and smiled back.At this time, the music on the bandstand was already playing, men and women embraced each other, and started dancing—but He Lina didn't go.

A person's temperament is like this, often with honest people, and when he sees lively people, he feels smart and happy.But often being with lively people and seeing honest ones, I feel gentle and amiable again.Ms. He hangs out in the dance hall every day and sees active young people. Now she suddenly meets a loyal young man like Jiashu, which piques her curiosity and wants to have a talk with this loyal young man. Be friends and see how interesting it is to be an honest friend.So he sat still, waiting for Family Tree to ask for a dance.All girlfriends in the dance hall do not dance with others after the music is played, but sit silently next to a boyfriend. This is just an opportunity for the boyfriend to ask for a dance.It's like saying to you, I'll wait for you to dance.If you don't have a family tree, you can't dance, and naturally you can't talk.At this time, Bo and his wife went to find their partners.There were only two people sitting opposite each other, and Jiashu was so embarrassed that he could only turn sideways and look at his partner on the dance floor.Miss He poured a glass of wine and held it in her hand, with a smile on her face, she just touched the mouth of the glass to her straight and white teeth, her head didn't move, but her eyes slowly turned to look at the family tree.After waiting for 10 minutes, Jiashu didn't say anything.Lina put down her wine glass and asked: "Mister Fan! Why don't you go dancing?" Jiashu said: "I'm ashamed, I don't know how to do this." Lina smiled and said: "Don't be polite, how many young people are there now? The one who can’t dance?” Jiashu said with a smile: “I really can’t, it’s the first time I’ve come to this place today.” Lina said: “Really? But it’s also very easy, as long as Miss Tufan and Lingqin have studied for a week, and they will know everything." Jiashu said with a smile: "In this singing and dancing hall, we are dwarfed by each other, so we don't care if we don't learn." At this point, Bo and his wife took a break and came back from dancing.Seeing that Jiashu and Lina had a good talk, they secretly smiled.At that time, we talked for a while. Although Lina went to dance with others twice, she always came back to sit here.

After twelve o'clock, the family tree was a little tired, and said to Bo He: "Go back." Bo He said: "It's still early." The family tree said: "I don't have such a blessing, I feel dizzy " Bo He said: "Who told you to drink those wines?" Bo He also agreed to go back early because he was going to the Yamen tomorrow.But I was afraid that my wife would disagree, so I didn't speak.Now that Jiashu said he wanted to go back, he took advantage of the wind to turn the rudder, and said, "Since you are dizzy, let's go back." He called his servants and settled the accounts, and the total was a few cents of 15 yuan.Bo He took out two ten-yuan bills from his body, handed them to the servant, and waved his hand, "Take it." The servant bowed slightly and thanked him.The family tree only knew that Uncle and his wife spent a lot of western food for dancing every month, but they didn't know how much they spent.Looking at it now, just a few bottles of light drinks cost [-] yuan, no wonder it costs money.When He Lina saw them leaving, she wanted to leave too, and said, "Mistotao! My car didn't come, so I'll take your car, can I get a seat?" Bo He said, "Yes, yes." So she walked out of the ballroom, Go to the locker room to get dressed.Seeing Miss He coming in, the servant took off a women's coat from the hook, lifted it up and let her put it on.After putting it on, Miss He opened the bag and took out a two-yuan bill. The servant bowed and went on.This time, Family Tree was greatly stimulated.During the day, if I give a dollar to the man who sings the big drum book, he will be flattered and consider it an extraordinary adventure.It is true that if you do not climb a high mountain, you will not see a flat land.Using money like her is simply treating foreign money as a big coin.If a man becomes her husband, is this kind of expense easy to provide?Thinking this way at the time, Miss He didn't care about it, talking and laughing with Mrs. Tao, walking out of the hotel all the way.

Although it was late at night, the cars and rickshaws under the woods at the gate stopped row by row from north to south.It took Bohe a long time to find his car.There are four people in a car, and one of them has to be put upside down.Bo He thought he was the master, so he must let Jiashu sit on the soft chair above.Naturally, Mrs. Tao sat on her side.When the car started, Lina raised one hand and thumped her head, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? I'm a little dizzy!" At this moment, the car suddenly made a small turn, towards Jiashu. On one side, Lina's arm touched his face.Lina turned her face back, and hurriedly said to Jiashu: "I'm really sorry, where did I hit?" Jiashu smiled and said: "According to what Mi Sihe said, I am a piece of paper, as long as I touch him, I will be killed." Broken skin." Bo He said: "Yes, these days you are paying attention to martial arts, and a weak person like Mi Sihe, even if you really hit you a few times, you don't care." Miss He said again and again: "Don't dare to do it, don't Dare to do it." Then he smiled at the family tree.The four of them talked lively in the car, and after a while, they arrived at Miss He's house first.The car's horn blared three times in the distance, and suddenly the light on the door of the house turned on, reflecting the two vermilion lacquered doors.Miss He spoke English, said good night, got out of the car and left.The vermilion lacquered door was already open, allowing her to enter.

Here, after the three of them returned home, Bo He said with a smile: "Jiashu! What a great opportunity! Miss He treated you so well." Jiashu said: "Where did you start talking? We just met today for the first time. My friend, what attitude does she have towards me?" Mrs. Tao said: "It's true, I have been friends with Ms. He for a long time, and I have never seen how polite and intimate she is to a new friend. Yes. You can deal with her well, and I will drink you a bowl of winter melon soup in the future." Bo He said with a smile: "Don't talk about this Beijing local mystery, he knows what winter melon soup is? Jiashu, let me tell you Drinking winter melon soup is just a matchmaker for you." Jiashu said with a smile: "I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes, but why is it called drinking winter melon soup?" Mrs. Tao said: "That is a local product in Beijing, and he also gave it to you. I don't know why. However, the real matchmaker has never seen him really drink winter melon soup, but if you and Miss He are willing to give me winter melon soup, I am willing to drink it." Jiashu said: "Biao sister-in-law's words , It’s too groundless. How can a friend who meets for the first time talk about marriage?” Mrs. Tao said: “Why not! In old-fashioned marriages, you can talk about marriage without seeing each other. You can watch foreign movies about marriage. , Isn’t it love at first sight in nine out of ten cases? For example, you and that old man Guan’s daughter, why didn’t you develop friendship at the first sight?” Jiashu felt that he was not his cousin’s rival, and avoided his room with a smile.

When a person is stimulated by sensuality, he will not be able to settle down immediately.At the head of the steel wire bed where Jiashu sleeps, there is a small tea cabinet. On the tea cabinet is an upright electric lamp covered with lotus leaves, which is shining light on the bed. Under the lamp is a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions", which was placed here when he was going to bed two nights ago. .Picking up a book to read it, and flipping through it, it's the section where Lin Daiyu plays the qin.From this novel, thinking of the woman who sang "Daiyu's Sad Autumn" during the day, I thought that she is not as beautiful as Miss He!Miss He grew up in a wealthy family, and the waiter gave her two yuan for a coat for her. The girl who sang the big drum book sang a section of the big drum and only gave her one yuan. Her family was very grateful.From this we can see that the identity of a beauty is also transferred by money.According to my own opinion, that girl is about the same height as Miss He, and younger. If I say to go to Tianqiao to listen to that man's Dagu book, my cousin will not be satisfied.But after meeting Ms. He for the first time, she tried her best to be my matchmaker.One person thought like this, just held the book in his hand and thought about it deeply, and then realized that instead of making friends with Miss He, it would be better to get acquainted with the girl who sings the big drum.Her mother once invited me to her home, why not go and have a look, I can use this to find out about her life experience.This night, for some unknown reason, I thought about it several times.

On the next day, Jiashu didn't even have lunch, saying that he wanted to go to the university to get the regulations, so he went out.Uncle and his wife thought that there was no place to play in the morning, so they believed his words.Jiashu didn't dare to take a car in front of his house, so he went to the street and hired a car to Shuiche Alley.At the entrance of Shuiche Hutong, I got out of the car, but walked in slowly, looking at the house numbers of each house.When we arrived at the west entrance, there was a small red piece of paper next to the house number three, with the words "Shen's house" written on it.The door is very narrow, and it is blocked by a half-broken wooden partition. Under the wooden partition, there are a bucket of dirty water, seven or eight broken earthen bowls, a basket of broken coal, piled up with dirt, and a piece of paper hanging on the partition. Broken stool.There are two or three big holes in the partition. You can see clothes hanging on a rope in the yard inside. There seems to be a pot of oleander flowers under the clothes, but it hangs down and is covered with dust.The family tree saw that the yard was very unclean, and he was a little embarrassed to run into such a house.So he walked slowly through the gate, and it turned out to be a street.Looking around on the street, I wondered if it would be impossible to come all the way and then run back home?Once you come, you will be safe, of course, go in and have a look.So he turned around and returned to the alley.Walking to the door, I planned to go in, but I was still embarrassed.He is a man who sings big drums, and it has nothing to do with me. Why should I go to this kind of people for no reason?With this hesitation, he let go of his footsteps and walked through the door.After walking past two or three houses, I returned, because I thought he told me to look for someone with the surname of Shen, so I went to the one with the surname of Shen.As long as it is her family, everyone in their family knows me, so why can't they not entertain me?After making up his mind, he went to knock on the door.Just as I was about to knock on the door, I thought again, no, no, why did I find someone?It's embarrassing to say it.So even though he volunteered to knock on the door, before he could touch the door, he shrank back again.Standing by the door, he coughed twice, thinking that someone would come out and he could answer.Unexpectedly, the person who came out spoke first in the partition: "Look at the door, someone is coming."

When Jiashu heard that the voice was the girl singing the big drum book, he quickly shrank back, walked lightly, and hurried away.It was almost at the entrance of the alley, when someone shouted from behind: "Mr. Fan! Mr. Fan! It's right here, you went wrong." When I looked back, it was the girl's mother, Aunt Shen, who was waving and running all the way, squinting. He closed his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Fan, why didn't you go in when you got to the door?" The family tree stopped and said, "I saw no one in your house, so I thought there was no one inside, so I left." Aunt Shen said: " You didn't knock on the door, how would we know?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hands for support, and let Family Tree enter the door.Jia Shu couldn't help himself, so he followed her in.I just feel that there are things everywhere in the yard.

At that moment, Aunt Shen opened the door and let her into a room.There are also beds, boilers, pots, chairs and stools in the room, with everything, and there is almost no place to live.Turn another corner and lead into a suite. There is a big earthen Kang by the window, which takes up two-thirds of the room, leaving some open space. There is only a small table and two chairs with broken backs. No chairs, no furnishings.There are two gray-black boxes and two wicker baskets, all stacked at one end of the kang, and a reed mat is spread on this side, and thin and narrow quilts are stacked on the reed mat, making the kang appear more spacious.The surface is covered with a red quilt, but it is not red but black.A few old and new New Year pictures were pasted on the wall, such as "A Mouse Marries a Daughter" and "Wang Xiaoer is Afraid of His Wife", red and green, painted over again.Family tree has never been to this kind of place, and now he feels a very strange feeling.Aunt Shen let him sit on a small chair, poured a cup of strong tea from a white porcelain cup, and put it on the table.This teacup happened to be next to a kerosene lamp with a smoked lampshade. Looking back at the table, the paint was covered with fish scales. I thought to myself, why do people who live in such a gorgeous and expensive house come to such a place? ?Thinking of this made me feel uncomfortable all over.I thought: I might as well sit for a while and leave.Just thinking about it, the girl came in.She was very generous, she nodded with a smile, and then said: "You drink water." Aunt Shen said: "Girl! You stay with Mr. Fan for a while, and I'll go buy some melon seeds." When Jiashu wanted to get up to stop him, there were already away.

Now there is a man and a woman left in the room, let alone talk.The girl moved the chair, adjusted the quilt, sat down on the kang, and asked Jiashu, "Do you smoke cigarettes?" Jiashu shook his hand and said, "I don't know how to smoke." After saying this, there was nothing more to say.The girl stood up again, pulled a towel hanging on the hanging rope, moved the things on the table, and sent the kerosene lamp and a broken bowl to the outside room, saying that she was disgusting. She said: "What are they? They are also piled up in the house." After sending the things out, she still had nothing to say.After Jiashu hesitated for so long, he finally remembered to speak.Yin said: "Miss! Have you ever been to the Luozi Pavilion?"Because Mrs. Shen said that she never went to the Luozi Pavilion.The girl didn't think about it, and replied: "I have been there." The family tree said: "In the Luozi Pavilion, there must be someone with a good name." The girl lowered her head and smiled: "It's Fengxi, but the name is vulgar. Very good!" The family tree laughed and said, "Very elegant." Yin said to himself, "Feng Xi Feng Xi!" Feng Xi laughed and said, "You're wrong, I'm the Xi character for Congratulations and He Xi." Jiashu said: "Ah! It turns out that the girl can still read. Which school did she study in?" Feng Xi smiled and said, "Where did you go to school? In the past, the neighbor in our yard was a teacher. I studied with him. I have been studying for more than a year, and I know a few words, and there is the word 'Fengxi' in "The Analects of Confucius", don't you think so?" Jiashu said with a smile: "Yes, can you write letters?" Feng Xi smiled He shook his head.Jiashu said: "What about keeping accounts?" Feng Xi said: "For a family like ours, what kind of accounts do we keep?" Xi said: "My mother does some work." Jiashu said: "What is 'work'?" Feng Xi first smiled, and then said: "You are really from the south, you don't understand anything. Doing it with clothes, shoes and socks is called 'work'. It's not difficult, and I can do it too. Otherwise, what should I do if I can't go out due to wind and rain?" Jiashu said: "In this way, the girl is a capable person. I'm dead." Feng Xi smiled and lowered her head, accosted, and drew a few pictures on her knee with her index finger, before Jiashu wanted to say something, Aunt Shen had already bought something and returned.So neither side made a sound, and both became silent.

Aunt Shen opened two paper bags, one with peanuts and one with melon seeds, and put them all on the kang.He smiled and said: "Mr. Fan! Please use a little, I'm really embarrassed to say that I don't even have a clean plate." Feng Xi said in a low voice: "Don't say those words, you are so poor." Aunt Shen smiled and said: " This is the truth, what's the point of poverty?" After finishing speaking, he went out to get tea again.Feng Xi looked outside the house, then grabbed a handful of melon seeds, handed them over, smiled and said to Jia Shu: "Go ahead, the table is dirty." After hearing that, Jia Shu stretched out his hand to pick it up.Feng Xi smiled and said: "You are really a gentleman, your hands are outstretched, they are even whiter than ours." Jia Shu ignored her words, but raised his head and smiled.Feng Xi said: "What are you happy about? Did I say something wrong? Look, whose hands are fair?" Jiashu said: "No, no, I think the people from Beijing are smart and witty when they speak. For example, just now The word 'poor' you said is meaningful." Feng Xi smiled and said, "Is that so?" Jiashu said, "Why did I ever lie? Especially the little girls in Beijing, they are refined and gentle. Talking, it's like singing on the stage, it's really nice." Feng Xi smiled and said, "Don't listen to me singing Dagushu from now on, just come to my house and listen to me." Aunt Shen brought tea in and asked: "Listen to what you said?" Feng Xi pointed her mouth at the family tree and said, "He speaks Beijing dialect nicely, and Beijing girls speak better." Aunt Shen said: "Really? Mr. Fan! Let me follow you Be a maidservant and serve you every day, so you have to listen to this." Family Tree said: "How dare you be that!" At this point, Feng Xi poured a cup of hot tea, put both hands in front of Family Tree, looked Looking at him, he said softly: "Drink tea, and serve like this, do you think it will work?" Jiashu took the cup of tea and smiled.When he first entered, he felt that the room was cramped and unclean, and he wanted to leave immediately.I sat down at this time, and although the conversation was interesting, it didn't feel like it took too long.Mrs. Shen just served the tea and walked away.Jiashu said: "How many families are there in your yard?" Fengxi said: "There are three in total, all of them are small businesses. You don't think the house is dirty, so feel free to come, it doesn't matter." Jiashu looked at her, hehe Smiling, Feng Xi sat cross-legged on the kang, hugged her knees with her hands, and sat silently with a smile on her face.After a while, he asked, "Why do you always look at me and smile?" Jiashu said, "I laughed because you laughed." Fengxi said, "That's not your truth, there must be other reasons." Said: "To be honest, I think you look like a girlfriend of mine." Feng Xi shook her head and said: "No, no, your girlfriend must be Miss Qianjin, how can you look so shabby like me. "Jiashu said: "Otherwise, you are better looking than her." Fengxi listened, and didn't say anything, just watched him turn his mouth away, Jiashu couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this.

After talking for a while, Aunt Shen came in and said, "Mr. Fan! Don't go, just go and have lunch with us. There is nothing delicious, let me make you some noodles with fried sauce." Jiashu got up and said: " Don't sit down, come back next time." Yin took out a five-yuan bill from his body, handed it to Aunt Shen, and said with a smile: "Small, buy a pair of shoes for the eldest girl." After finishing speaking, her face blushed.Because of embarrassment, he rushed out with three feet and two steps, took a piece of clothes, and walked slowly.After walking not much, suddenly someone coughed two or three times from behind, when looking back, Feng Xi stepped forward with a smile.Seeing that no one was there, Yin said: "You lost something." Jiashu reached into the bag and touched it, raised his head and thought, "I didn't lose anything." Feng Xi also took out a newspaper, The bag, the paper bag is very uneven, as if I was busy wrapping it.She handed it to Jiashu and said, "Here is what you lost." Jiashu took it and was about to open it, Feng Xi pressed her hand, glanced at him, and said with a smile, "Don't look, it won't work if you look at it." , Pick it up, let's see it when we go home. Goodbye! Goodbye!" After she finished speaking, she also went home quickly.At this moment, Jiashu suddenly realized that it was not the paper bag he left behind, and he was overjoyed again.If you want to know what is in that paper bag, I will break it down next time.
