Erchunguangli (Part 2)(2/2)
"Old man!" the woman said with a smile, "I have some home-brewed rice wine. Would you like some?"
Zhu Yunxi hurriedly said, "Grandpa, no, you can't drink wine!"
"We are almost dead, why can't we even drink a sip of wine?" The old man immediately grimaced.
The woman also said, "Young master, this is your fault. He is already this age, so he can eat and drink as he pleases. It's not like he can't afford to drink, so why don't you give him a drink? He's older.
It’s good for people to drink some wine to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis!”
"Listen!" The old man rolled his eyes at Zhu Yunxi and smiled at the woman, "Girl, give us two pounds!"
"Okay!" The woman agreed crisply again.
Immediately, the wine came and was poured into a porcelain bowl with broken edges. It was a little turbid and smelled of rice.
Hey, the old man took a sip and smiled with his eyebrows wagging, "Sweet!"
Then, he asked the woman selling the meat, "Girl, why are you working alone, where is your man?"
The woman had just finished her work and was wiping her sweat. When she heard this, she smiled and said, "He's dead!"
"Yo!" The old man put down the wine bowl and looked at it, "It's a pity to be widowed at such a young age... No, it's a hard life!" Then he asked, "How did you die?"
"Let's fight!" The woman fanned the wind with her hands, "I went to conquer Korea with the emperor's grandson and died over there!"
Suddenly, the old man stopped drinking, and Zhu Yunxi, who was eating meat, stopped him.
"When I went there, there were still people alive, but when I came back, there were ashes in the urn!" The woman continued to laugh, "The one who left us orphans and widowed mothers had no choice but to show up and do some small business!"
Zhu Yunxi felt distraught, "Don't those who died in the war receive pensions?"
"The pension is a lot, but you can't just sit back and have nothing!" The woman still smiled, "Besides, I have a man and my father, and there are two unmarried younger brothers at home. The court has given a lot of pension.
But it only costs a few dollars to fall on someone’s head!”
For a moment, Zhu Yunxi wanted to drink.
