Chapter 14: Qingshan's First Entry into Jiuzhong City (2)
After the performance of the hundreds of operas, the Anfu Office came out and not only gave a generous reward, but also asked these people to scatter on the streets and continue playing, asking the neighbors to watch, and allowed vendors from the South and East cities to set up stalls and sell nearby. So after a while, the four yards centered on Fushoufang became the most lively place in Luoyang City. Most of the people also came and gathered here after hearing the news.
Tens of thousands of people were walking on the streets, shouting loudly everywhere, and many men and women smiled happily, "I have suffered for decades, but now I have seen a peaceful and prosperous era, and they are all wise and wise."
Zeng Baohua, who was patrolling around and maintaining order, heard it and sighed secretly in his heart. It was just a dream of autumn, and it was still a purgatory on earth when he woke up. It was still early to live a real peace and good life.
"Eleventh Sister, Eleventh Sister, there are delicious food here. Look, there are steamed cakes, Hu cakes, enemas, glutinous rice cakes and dumplings here. Oh, there are whipped chestnuts, ginkgo, salted soybeans, kumquats, olives, longans and lychees. Eleventh Sister, let's buy them quickly and eat them."
Zeng Baohua heard a series of words and jumped out crisply, just like a sparrow next to Akita. No, it wasn't one, at least more than ten sparrows were talking.
He turned his head to look at it and saw a woman, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful hair and delicate eyebrows and eyes. She was wearing a dark red flower-sleeved dress, a red robe and a long silk skirt. She looked like a crabapple, with a graceful look, unusual.
It's really flawless and comparable to jade, and it's so shameful to the flower. Zeng Baohua was stunned for a moment.
At this time, an eleven or 2-year-old boy followed behind the woman. His face was as gentle as jade, wearing a horned robe, a small dark gold ball of flower robe, a erratic gold-inlaid jade ribbon, a pair of exquisite phoenix-tone jade pendants, and two silver fish bags, either rich or noble.
He held the woman's hand and said, "Sister Eleven, let's go buy some food."
He actually took the little lady's hand? You guy, such a rude disciple! Zeng Baohua immediately became disgusted with the young man. Maybe it was because the other person was much handsomer than him, or maybe it was because he was standing next to the little lady, not himself.
"Xiao Shiwu, we just came out of food, and then we ate randomly, be careful to accumulate food." The woman replied gentlely.
The boy was disliked and raised his mouth and said, "It's not allowed to eat this, it's not allowed to eat that, what's fun to come out?"
After a while, when the gongs and drums sounded in the street next door, the boy was immediately attracted and pulled the woman over. There were five or six guards behind him.
Zeng Baohua was reluctant to leave and followed from afar.
This is a juggling. Monkeys present hundreds of plays, fish jump to the knife gate, use bees and butterflies, chase ants, and write books on sand. Various supernatural abilities and techniques are overwhelming. The boy is so lively. He is amused by the lively monkeys and laughs, and is stunned by the fish jumping around.
The woman stood beside her, gentle and gentle, looking at the boy with a smile.
"Eleventh Sister, there are gadgets here, including jade sea, nocturnal moth, bee, snow willow, bodhi leaves, and rosy leaves. It's so fun." The boy turned to another street and shouted.
What a naughty child, fortunately that little lady has a good temper. If she had been me, she would have dumbed you for a few punches!
After a while, several guards were holding various things in their hands, made of wheat straw, cut from wood, and kneaded from mud, one by one.
The little lady was attracted by another row of stalls, which were covered with crowns, jadeite, head, clothes, flowers, collars and boots. She walked to a stall, twisted up a silk flower, looked left and right, and couldn't let go of it.
The young man walked to the side and muttered to the guards. The guards showed a dismay on their faces, and the young man showed a stern voice, as if he was threatening with gritting teeth. After a while, the guards reluctantly surrendered. This naughty child was afraid that he was not holding back his weight.
The little lady alone is like the most dazzling flower in the garden. After a while, more than a dozen gangsters are like bees and butterflies, surrounding them from all over and circling around her.
It's time for me to go on stage to be a flower protector! Zeng Baohua suppressed his excitement and walked over slowly without hesitation.
Standing beside, the breeze blows, and a faint fragrance comes, like orchids, like autumn osmanthus, and more like the bright moon in Mid-Autumn Festival, which is heart-warming.
Zeng Baohua had just calmed down and heard the young lady talking to the stall owner about the price: "How to sell this silk flower?"
"Three hundred folks per branch."
"Okay, give me two."
Hey, this little lady really doesn’t know how expensive the firewood and rice are. I bought such a small silk flower for 300 pm? I still don’t know if I’m accused!
"How much does it cost?" Zeng Baohua walked forward and asked the stall owner in a deep voice.
The stall owner was so scared that he was stuttering when he saw Zeng Baohua wearing a green robe, a horizontal knife and a waist sign.
"Officials... just take it, no, no... don't need money."
Hey, who do you think of me? Zeng Baohua was a little embarrassed. Especially when the young lady turned her eyes around, she seemed to be watching a treacherous official who bullied the market and was free to take it for nothing, so she was even more embarrassed.
"You guys, who do you mean me? I just ask you, how much does this silk flower usually cost?"
"If you come back to the official, you can buy twenty cents per branch, and you can buy fifteen cents per branch." The stall owner knew Zeng Baohua's purpose, and replied in a stuttering manner with his head shrank.
Zeng Baohua turned around, smiled at the little lady, and stopped talking. The disciples around him saw this person appear and all avoided them.
In the past ten days, Zeng Baohua's face was quiet on the streets, and in fact, he secretly dealt with the Puji Martial Arts Hall, and cleaned up all the gangsters in the nearby dozen yards, and his reputation had already been beaten with sticks.
The young lady now understood the intention of the young man opposite. It turned out that she saw that she was deceived and kindly reminded her. She felt a little grateful in her heart and looked at the man carefully.
Her body was upright and beautiful, especially her clear and transparent eyes and slightly exposed white teeth, which made her heart a little confused. Her pink face was a little red at some point.
"If you want to care, we can buy as much as we like, we are happy!" The boy rushed over and said hostilely. At this time, he was like a naughty boy who was stolen from his beloved thing, frowned, stared at his eyes, and was fighting with a cock full of fighting spirit.
"If you pay, I won't say a word. You pay it." Zeng Baohua said with a smile. Just now, he looked at the whole way, buying food and gadgets, all the money paid by the little lady. You haven't paid a single one, so you will be a big player now.
"I, I, I..." The boy touched his body for a while, but half of his eldest son couldn't find it. When he looked up, he saw Zeng Baohua holding his elbow and looking at him. The sneer on his face was like a steel needle, tingling his sensitive heart! Where did the bastard come from? It's really annoying!
The boy suddenly touched the silverfish bag, remembered something, and creaked open the bag with a squeak, took out a silver barley piece from it, and threw it on the stall with a bang.
"I reward you with this money! Don't look for it." The boy said to the stall owner arrogantly, then turned his head and provoked Zeng Baohua with his chin.
When the stall owner saw the bag of silver barley weighing 2 taels and 5 cents, his eyes turned red. He quickly stretched out his hands, and he was about to touch it and took it back. Then he looked at Zeng Baohua with a smile on his face, his eyes full of desire and fear.
"Just collect it, the money from the prodigal son will be useless if you don't take it." Zeng Baohua waved his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, the stall owner grabbed Yin Kezi in his hand with lightning speed. He grabbed it tightly, and probably even the big man in his body could not take it out.
Zeng Baohua's words seemed to have stepped on the boy's tail, making him furious again. He stared at him and was about to go forward to argue, but the little lady grabbed him.
"Xiao Shiwu, don't be angry, let's go and take a look elsewhere. There are so many fun things here, I haven't seen enough." The little lady turned around and handed Zeng Baohua an apology look.
Looking at those eyes, Zeng Baohua's heart seemed to be hit by a hammer. Oh, my heart has been lonely for seventeen years and began to throbbing. No, it was beating violently. I seem to be in love and like women. Bah, what I said is, all I always like is women.
The boy also remembered that he had some serious things to do. The opportunity was once a year, so it could not be delayed. He glared at Zeng Baohua fiercely, "Boy, I will deal with you when I finish my business." A small, small official in green robe dared to be arrogant in front of me!"
Zeng Baohua continued to patrol the street, but his eyes were staring at the little lady from afar. After a while, he found that the young man pulled the little lady to the remote alley with few people.
There is a problem! Is this boy a cheat?
At this time, several gangsters also noticed that the two men had walked to a remote place and followed them quietly with the cover of the crowd.
