Du Zhongxiao returned to the back office, changed into civilian clothes, sat down at the table, and the female envoy brought tea.

After taking a sip, Du Zhongxiao said to Han Yueniang: "What kind of Lusaisai is that, has you settled down?" ”

Han Yueniang shook her head: "I asked Qu Wuniang to stay with her for two days, and then I decided to stay." You've seen that person too, and he doesn't look like a serious person between his eyebrows, so how can he stay at home? Something ugly happened, and it was spread out to make people laugh. ”

Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment, he could see that Lu Saisai was a little amorous, and he was not a person from Qu Wuniang, but he didn't have as much thought as Han Yueniang. Although the two have been married for less than a year, Han Yueniang has changed from a girl to a young woman, and people are indeed different. This kind of thing, she can see at a glance many problems that Du Zhongxiao didn't think of, and she doesn't want this person to live in her own house in her heart.

Seeing that Han Yueniang's face was a little unsightly, Du Zhongxiao pondered for a moment before saying: "I thought she was Qu Wuniang's old friend, since she came to defect, she must have a place to settle down." If you don't live in the back office, you have to find another way. ”

Han Yueniang said: "I don't care what you think, there are just two." First, you can't live in the back office, so as not to have ugly things. The second is to live in our Yongcheng County, and you are not allowed to engage in the fireworks business, otherwise it will spread out, and you know where the county's face is facing! The rest, it's up to you. ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded and stopped talking. Fortunately, no matter how much Han Yueniang thought about it, she didn't doubt herself, and she didn't know whether she trusted herself or was confident in herself. is too far away from Han Yueniang than her appearance, and she is much older, so Han Yueniang looks down on her. But that's fine, as long as Han Yueniang doesn't doubt herself, it will be much more convenient to place Lu Saisai. But she is really not suitable for living in the back office, Du Zhongxiao's entourage is mostly young and strong, and there are a few spare money in their hands, living with a romantic woman, maybe something will happen.

In Qu Wuniang's room next to her, Qu Wuniang took out more than a dozen copper coins and asked Xiaoqing to take Jingjing to the city to play and talk to Lu Saisai by herself.

Seeing that Lu Saisai was radiant after washing, and changed into Qu Wuniang's new clothes, like a different person, Qu Wuniang sighed: "My sister hasn't seen her for more than a year, but she is getting younger and younger." ”

Lu Saisai stroked his hair lightly, and said with a little resentment: "How can I compare to my sister, if you leave Yangzhou, you can find a good family." Alas, now that you know that the county minister appreciates it, you will not be worried in this life. Where it looks like me, it has to wander around. ”

Qu Wuniang smiled bitterly: "It's just a temporary foothold." The officials like to listen to Xiaoqing play the piano, so they took us in, who knows what will happen in the future? These eunuch officials, when they wait for the change of term, I don't know where they go, how can they take us people? ”

Lucesai sneered: "Sister, we don't understand this kind of thing. After two or three years, Xiaoqing grew up, and just happened to be a concubine for the county minister, and it was not food and clothing for her sister. Without these means, my sister would have been singing for so many years. ”

Qu Wuniang sighed and did not speak. If you look at your current situation, Lucersay is right, and if you were an outsider, you would think so. But after living together for a few months, Qu Wuniang knew that it was not like that. Du Zhongxiao took in the two of them, really to listen to Xiaoqing play a song from time to time. Although Han Yueniang is kind and kind, she doesn't seem to be a good talker in this kind of thing.

The two talked about their experiences since they separated, and Qu Wuniang asked, "Sister, what are you going to do now?" ”

Lusay Circuit: "Although it is only a county seat, it is located on the bank of the Bianhe River, and it is very prosperous. Now that you're here, what am I going to do? Naturally, I have to live for a few days to see if I can find a way out. It is said that Bianjing is the most prosperous place in the world, but we are not familiar with the place, and we have no relatives when we get there, but we are afraid that we will be bullied. ”

Qu Wuniang hesitated again and again, but still said: "Sister, a big thief Ma Meng has been arrested here recently, and I don't know how many characters have been implicated." It's convenient for you to live here, and with the care of the county officials, you can always find a way to survive. Just listen to my advice, don't do messy things. ”

Lu Saisai covered his mouth and smiled: "With the care of the county, what messy things can you do?" I'm afraid that if I go out to sing a song, I will be chewed by others, what else can I do? Don't worry, I'm just trying to make a living. ”

Qu Wuniang nodded, and it was hard to say anything.

Xiaoqing pulled Jingjing all the way out of the city gate, and the shops on both sides of the strait took a breath, and spent two pennies to buy a few buns and eat them in their hands. After walking for a while, Xiaoqing pulled Jingjing to a big willow tree by the river and said to her, "I'll show you something funny." ”

After speaking, God mysteriously took out a firework, and said: "This is what I secretly hid during the New Year, and no one knows." I waited for my former sisters to come and let them go for you to see. ”

Jingjing looked at it again and saw that it was a paper-wrapped thing, and asked, "Why?" It's not good-looking, and it's not fragrant. ”

Xiaoqing couldn't help but purse her lips and smile when she heard this: "This is not a sachet, how can it be fragrant?" It's called fireworks, and when it gets up, it flies into the air, and it's like a flower blooming in the air, so I don't know how beautiful it is! ”

After saying that, he put the fireworks on the ground, took out the fire fold and hit it carefully, and put it on the lead. The first time she played with fireworks by herself, she was so nervous that her little hands trembled, and it took a while to light the fuse.

Seeing that the lead was buzzing and smoking, Xiaoqing pulled Jingjing to the side, and her little face was red with nervousness: "It's about to fly!" Don't blink, you're going to bloom in the air! ”

Jingjing looked at the black smoke fireworks curiously, holding Jingjing's hand tightly, scared and expectant.

Suddenly, with a "bang", the fireworks rose to the ground, flew into the air and "snapped", blooming a colorful flower.

"Beautiful, really good-looking! How did this thing fly into the air and blossom! Jingjing watched amazingly and stamped her feet happily.

Xiaoqing looked at the air but was a little stunned, and said after a while: "Alas, it doesn't look good at all during the day!" ”

Jingjing said: "Good-looking, good-looking!" I've never seen anything so good! ”

When Xiaoqing heard this, her mood became better again, and she said to Jingjing: "Then you can stay here and accompany me, okay?" I don't know how much of this fun stuff there is. On weekdays, I don't need to go to the restaurant, sometimes I just play a few tunes for the officials. Where is it like before, our restaurant is transferred to that restaurant, tired and hungry, and we have to be beaten and scolded by customers! ”

"Okay!" After Jingjing finished speaking, her expression suddenly darkened. "I just don't know what my mother thinks. She was determined to go to the capital, saying that it was the most prosperous place in the world, and she wanted to see the world. I don't know how many big people live there, and they have to be appreciated by one person, and they will never worry about it for the rest of their lives. ”

Xiaoqing was only in her early tens, and after listening to Jingjing's words, she didn't know what to say for a while, and stood there looking at the little white sails on the Bianhe River, a little lost. Like Jingjing, she was sold by her family to Qu Wuniang and Lussey when she was five or six years old, saying that she was their adopted daughter. In fact, these families, adopting these little girls, are nothing more than teaching some skills, hoping to take over their classes and raise them when they grow up. At this age, she is already sensible, how can she not know that this is a despised identity?
