Silly Hunter's Wife

Shen Hong lit a cigarette again, pursed her red lips lightly, fluttered her nose, took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then opened her lips to let it out.

The white smoke dissipated, and she began to tell Song Chun.

"That year, I went to Harbin with my brother. It was the first time we came to Harbin. We were unfamiliar with the place. We got in a rickshaw, and the driver took us to a hotel to stay. My brother originally planned to go to Harbin for the second time. One day I went to a silk shop to buy goods. Unexpectedly, after dinner that night, he watched people pushing Pai Gow downstairs in the hotel. .In the beginning, he kept winning money. I saw it in the middle of the night, and I was sleepy, so I went upstairs to sleep in a room opened by my brother. Who knows, when I woke up, I opened the door to find my brother... I My brother lived in the room next to me, but found no one in the room. Then, a fat man who pushed Pai Gow with my brother last night brought two men to find me and told me that my brother lost money last night, Also owed 100 silver dollars. He made an excuse to go to the bathroom and ran away. Because I was his sister, they found me and asked for the 100 silver dollars..."

Song Chun couldn't help interjecting when he heard this: "Brother Xiaofeng, why is he so confused? Those people said that he owed money, and he lost the money from gambling. What does it have to do with you?"

Shen Hong took a few more puffs of cigarettes before saying: "My brother is still not very experienced in the world. When he was in Taoshan Town, because he was a local, he went to the casino to gamble, and he never met anyone who set up a game to win his money. So he went to Harbin , he thought it was the same as Taoshan. Who knows, he not only lost the two gold bars he borrowed from you, but also wanted to borrow money from the gamblers at the same table. He lost all his 100 silver dollars. He knew he couldn’t afford it, so he ran away with the excuse of going to the toilet. I guess, the people who gambled with him at the same table that night saw me standing behind him watching him play cards, and me going upstairs I called him brother when I went to bed, and they knew I was his sister. Later, I was willing to lend him a hundred silver dollars to read the book, and let him leave with the excuse of going to the bathroom, probably because I was not afraid of him running away, because I was on the second floor of the hotel. in the upstairs room."

"Do those people have the IOU written by your brother?"

"Of course there are. I only believed what they said when I saw the IOU. My brother does owe them a hundred silver dollars."

Needless to say, Shen Hong later, Song Chun also thought of it, the person holding Shen Feng's IOU in his hand forced Shen Hong to pay back the money.

Shen Hong, a weak woman, was not very old, her arms couldn't twist her thighs, she was either taken to a romantic place, or sold to a rich family to be a maid or concubine or something.

"Then they took me to a newly opened dance hall in Harbin. The fat man was the brother-in-law of the owner of the ballroom. They asked me to be a dancer in the ballroom, dancing with the guests to earn money to pay back the debts owed by my brother. Did you learn to dance? How long ago, Chen Feilong came to the ballroom to dance and asked me to dance with him. That’s how I got to know him. Later, he paid me out of the ballroom and became his concubine in the sixth room. I stayed in Harbin for two years. For more than a year, Chen Feilong brought me to Taoshan Town recently."

"Then what about your brother, you have been in Harbin for more than two years, and there is no news of him?"

"I didn't look for him. I don't know where he went and what he did. Maybe he left me and ran away, and he felt ashamed, so he was ashamed to come to me. Anyway, it's been nearly three years, and I don't have him. news, and I don’t want to see him either.”

Shen Hong put out the burnt cigarette in the ashtray, then poured herself a cup of tea, took two sips and put it down.

Turning to look at Song Chun, smiled slightly, and asked her, "How have you been these three years?"

Song Chun said: "It's not the same as before. Be my hunter."

Shen Hong remembered that she hunted bears and exchanged bear bile and paws for money, so she asked her again: "Are you short of money recently? Otherwise, why would you go hunting bears with your life? I remember that you did it three years ago to avenge your grandfather." Go bear hunting."

Song Chun smiled foolishly, nodded, and honestly admitted: "It's a little lacking, because there are more people in the family."

Shen Hong said "Oh", and asked her curiously: "How many people have been added, and who is it that made you desperately go hunting bears to earn money to support yourself. I remember that something happened to your grandfather three years ago, and you are the only one in your family." Alone."

Song Chun really wanted to tell her that Er Niu was added to the family, a woman who wanted to be with her for the rest of her life, and she wanted to give her the best things in the world, and for Er Niu, she would dare to do any life-threatening things.

But if she told the truth to Shen Hong, she would definitely feel weird, how could she love a woman and want to be with a woman for the rest of her life.

He didn't want to explain so much to Shen Hong, so Song Chun vaguely told her that there was a very edible person added to the family, and that Maodong would cost a lot of money for a few months. Ask her to buy bear bile and bear paws, and she goes into the mountains to hunt bears.

When mentioning Lei shopkeeper of the leather goods store, Shen Hong casually asked Song Chun how the mayor of the town office, Li, decided the case this time.

Song Chun told Shen Hong the result of Mayor Li's judgment.

When Shen Hong heard something was wrong, and the two profiteers only gave Song Chun 20 silver dollars in the end, she was fine, so she knew there was something tricky here.

It is very likely that Adjutant Qi compromised with them.

And Adjutant Qi's willingness to compromise must have accepted the benefits of those two profiteers.

I asked him to investigate clearly so that Song Chun would not be wronged, but he was tactful enough to not offend either.

However, Shen Hong also knew that people in the officialdom practiced this way, and it was not unusual at all.

But how much benefit Adjutant Qi took from those two profiteers, she felt that she needed to find out.

That's what she will do in the future. Now, she wants to invite Song Chun to dinner, so she said with a smile: "Chunzi, I am very happy to meet you today. You can have dinner at my place at noon. I will ask the cook to do it." A few good dishes."

"...This." Song Chun hesitated. She remembered Er Niu and Zhao Quanfa and Zhao Wu's grandfather and grandson. Just now, she said at the gate of the town office that she wanted to invite them to Xilaishun for dinner.

Seeing Song Chun's hesitation, Shen Hong was a little disappointed, but she still asked Song Chun kindly: "Chunzi, you don't want to eat with me, do you dislike me?"

Song Chun quickly shook his head: "No, Miss Hong, I just made an appointment with the people in the village and invited them to dinner. They testified for me today, so I want to invite them to a delicious meal to thank them. "

After listening to Song Chun's explanation, Shen Hong soon felt relieved. She said to Song Chun, "Since they followed you into the Chen mansion today, I will definitely let them have a good lunch. The cook of the Chen mansion is Chen Mansion." The famous chef Feilong specially brought from Harbin cooks much better dishes than the chefs in Xilaishun restaurant. Why don’t you let them have lunch with me to make sure they’re satisfied.”

When Song Chun and Shen Hong said this, they were also moved.

It wasn't that she wanted to eat the dishes cooked by famous chefs in Chen's mansion, but that she thought of Er Niu.

She wanted Er Niu to eat dishes cooked by famous chefs from Harbin, and the taste must be better than the chefs in Taoshan Town restaurants.

There are also Uncle Zhao and Xiao Wu, they can also eat a meal that is better than the restaurant in Taoshan Town, and they can also have a meal with Miss Xiaohong, whom they haven't seen in three years. Do not agree.

"Okay, then I will accompany Miss Xiaohong to have lunch, but the people from the villages who came to the Chen mansion with me hope that Miss Xiaohong will let the famous chef in the mansion cook some delicious food for them." They eat."

"No problem, I'll ask the famous chef in the mansion to go over and ask them what they want to eat, so that I can cook for them. But, Chunzi, before I ask them what they want to eat, I want to ask you what you want to eat? "

"I can eat anything, Miss Hong, you can arrange whatever you want."

"In that case, let the famous chef in our mansion cook some of his special dishes to entertain you."

……

Er Niu rubbed her skin in a room dedicated to receiving guests in the east wing of the exquisite courtyard, the last one in the Chen mansion, and couldn't sit still at all.

Zhao Quanfa and Zhao Wu sat comfortably, drinking tea and eating cakes, while looking at the room and saying some words of admiration from time to time.

Several times, Erniu stood up, ran to the door, quietly opened the cotton curtain, and looked towards the room where Song Chun and the sixth aunt lived.

When Zhao Quanfa and Zhao Wu saw it, they told her to go back and sit down, lest the steward Fang see her and say that she didn't understand etiquette, and they thought that since the sixth concubine sent Adjutant Qi to save Chunzi, she would definitely not harm Song Chun. etc.

After hearing this, Er Niu went back slowly, thinking, what do you know, I am not worried about what you said.

After waiting for more than half an hour, before Song Chun came, butler Fang and a fat chef came. The chef said that Aunt Six had asked him to come and ask them what they wanted to eat. At noon today, Aunt Six would cook Dong, treat them to dinner.

Fang Butler introduced that this fat chef is a famous chef in Harbin, he can cook any dish, and it is delicious, so they are lucky today.

Originally, Erniu had no resistance to delicious food, but now, she was more concerned about why Chunzi didn't come over.

She asked Fang Butler, "Why doesn't Chunzi come over to have dinner with us?"

Butler Fang said: "The sixth aunt specially asked her to eat lunch, and the two of them ate together. You should thank our sixth aunt, otherwise, how could you have eaten the dishes made by the famous chef in Harbin in our Chen mansion."

"Just the two of them eating together?" Er Niu became anxious, and some beautiful pictures appeared in her mind instantly, for example, the sixth aunt was drinking with Chun Zi, flirting with each other.

"No, I'm going to be with Chunzi!" She furrowed her brows and hurriedly walked out.

Steward Fang rushed forward to hold her back, and said unhappily: "Girl, I have never seen anyone who is less polite than you. Aunt Six's guest is Song Chun, not you. You always go to Six What does aunt come forward mean?"

"I... I'm worried!" Er Niu blurted out.

Fang Butler asked: "Why are you worried? Is it because you are afraid that Aunt Six will be transformed into a goblin and will eat Song Chun?"

When Er Niu heard this, her eyes flickered, and she said that she didn't mean that.

"Then what do you mean? Girl, let me tell you, even if there really are goblins in this mansion, our sworn brother in the hotel can take them away!"
