The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

In April of the 16th year of Jingping, the missing case of Pei Niang, daughter of the Gao family in Fanfang, Xidu, was solved.It's not how capable the government servants are, but Gao Peiniang came back by herself.One mouthful when missing, three mouthfuls when returning, one in hand and one in belly.With the return of Gao Peiniang, another case of missing persons was solved at the same time.It turned out that before and after Song Wei was beaten, the horse dealers in the West Market reported to the officials that a horse trainer, Xia Nu, had lost.The two cases were timed next to each other, but no one put them together to think about them.No one expected that the one Miss Gao fell in love with was a man slave.

Song Wei was called to the government office to confront her, and Gao Peiniang told the government official the reasons behind it in detail.

The horse trading business group arrived in Xidu every autumn and returned in spring, where they lived in the guest house in Fanfang North Lane.Gao Peiniang and the manu met by chance, they came and went, they had a good impression of each other, and they made a private decision for life, only worrying about how to tell Gao's parents.Just at this time, Song Xiaolang saw Miss Gao's beauty by chance, and showed a rascal face to pester her. Gao Peiniang couldn't bear it, so...

"Song Jialang has always been frivolous and frivolous, described as despicable and wretched, and behaved insanely. I, Gao Peiniang, am I that kind of frivolous girl who goes with the wind and waves..." Miss Gao Jia has read books, and she has a set of words.

Song Wei was dumbfounded.Elope with a man, and then come back with a big belly, and still be so righteous, it's amazing.Touching his cheek, he glanced at the slave next to him, feeling very upset.It's just taller and stronger, dark and ugly, how can it compare to Song Xiaolang's coquettish and handsome?Besides, if there is no benevolence and righteousness in business, it's fine if you don't agree with each other, so why bother to speak so ugly.As for how he used all kinds of tricks and embarrassing people back then, he had completely forgotten about it.

Originally, because Gao Peiniang was really beautiful, she felt a little pity, but now she completely gave up.Song Wei will have nothing to do next.The deal was done, so the Gao family had no choice but to recognize their son-in-law and pay a fine.The governor judged that a young couple's love is stronger than that of gold, and he authorized Ma Nu to get rid of his lowly status and start a family.Song Wei, as a cannon fodder passer-by, sourly listened to the verdict, and took care of the medical expenses she was compensated, so what should she do.

The suspicion was finally cleared and innocence was restored, and the next big thing—finding a decent job—was on the agenda.

Song Wei insisted that Song Manji not be allowed to intervene, insisting on looking for it by herself.

Although Maasa's Persian restaurant is good, 1 of Song Wei are not willing to go.Welcoming, sending, and selling wine, these light tasks are done by women, while men are in charge of heavy tasks such as brewing and transportation.After 30 or [-] years, you can gain the trust of the boss, get in touch with brewing recipes, or meet big clients for the boss, and you will be considered a good person.Before that, he was either confined to the workshop or bored in the basement, without even a chance to look up at the sky.In the past, Song Wei would occasionally do part-time jobs. After working for half a day, he would always sigh and sigh, and his back would hurt for a long time after the work. Let him take this as a serious job without even thinking about it.Besides, watching the old man eat Niangqin's tofu every day, or the Dengtuzi who came to buy wine teasing Niangqin, is it tolerable or unbearable?

One line has its own know-how, and one line has its own rules.No matter which era, if you want to enter an industry, you will inevitably ask someone to lead the way to learn from a teacher, and survive the hard days at the beginning before you can enjoy the blessings.

Since he can remember, Song Wei has only had two occupations: one can be called Diaosi; the other is called Emperor.

The first occupation, in Song Wei's impression, is poor, tired, and unstable.The money is always not enough to spend, always depends on the face of the person, always on tenterhooks, there is nowhere to use energy, and nothing to say when there is reason.In fact, he didn't feel these things at first. He has a natural temper and is not very sensitive to good or bad external conditions and other people's words and opinions. He is very good at going with the situation and enjoying himself.However, once the accident comes and people are forced into a desperate situation, these feelings will naturally exist.The specific reason has long been vague. The only thing I remember is that I made a great wish before my death: I want to be an emperor in my next life.

At that time, Song Wei really thought that the best career in the world was to be an emperor.I finally got what I wanted, and I wholeheartedly believed that it was God's love, which was very natural.It didn't start well, and he blamed inexperience.After repeated failures, I realized that this profession has its inherent attributes, and I don't seem to be suitable for this profession.Song Wei regretted deeply when the inherent attributes of the profession of emperor were like a nightmare and could not be shaken off.

Men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and the old saying is true.It's a pity that if people really want to understand a truth and put it into practice, often the price of a lifetime is not enough.Or why so many people didn't understand it until they died?

In late spring and early summer, it is sunny and warm.It was a holiday at the end of the month, and there were more people visiting Xishi and Fanfang than usual, and the streets and alleys were bustling with each other.

Song Wei stood under the signboard of "Sa Ji Hu Cake Shop", helping to pack sesame seed cakes and count copper coins.Today, he wore an embroidered sheepskin half-arm shirt over his white ramie robe, and a small leather cap of the same design and color, looking lively and pretty.Porcelain white skin, clear and clean facial features, and exotic attire, all passers-by will be amazed.Probably due to heredity, Song Wei's appearance is naturally charming, she smiles before she speaks, her eyes are charming, but she is not at all artificial and natural.With him standing here, Granny Sa's business would be at least [-]% better.

Song Wei had a smile on her face, but she began to worry in her heart.After only standing for a long time, my legs seemed to be filled with lead, and my knees refused to bend.Song Wei admired Sa Xiaomei who was flipping and toasting the biscuits deftly and not forgetting to take care of herself all the time.How could the little girl be able to stay?How could she not be bored with the same job all day long?

After finally staying up until dusk, the drums announcing the closing of the market sounded, and the number of tourists and customers dwindled.Grandma Sa brought out the dinner, Song Wei sat down as if she had been pardoned, her whole body softened into a puddle of mud as if her bones had been pulled out.

Little Sister Sa arranged the utensils thoughtfully, and Granny Sa put a bowl of mutton soup in front of him, and sighed: "You kid, you don't have any stamina, and you can't bear hardships. In vain, you look smart and smart. Today's day Hold on, let's see how hard you are!"

Song Wei just bowed her head and sipped the soup and cakes, and she felt that it was not right, so she braced herself and said, "It's not bitter, it's not bitter... I'll come to help tomorrow."

Sa Xiaomei quickly calculated the accounts, excluding the cost, she made a net profit of more than 150 cash today, which was more than usual.Counting out [-] characters, glanced at Grandma Sa, added another [-] characters to Song Wei, and pushed it in front of Song Wei with bright eyes: "Brother Xiaoyin, this is yours."

Song Wei didn't reach out her hand: "It's agreed to help, what are you doing?"

Sa Xiaomei insisted on refusing, Song Wei said, "Save the money for meals."

The two were still sawing, and Grandma Sa swept the copper plate into the purse: "You may not know where to spend the money, return it to your mother, save it and do something serious." When it came to business, she asked with concern. Planning for the future, tossing these many days, what is the plan.

It turned out that during this month, in order to thank the neighbors in the neighborhood for their guarantee, Song Wei went door-to-door to help.Some of the eighteen households have business, Song Wei thinks well, take this opportunity to observe the internship, and see which one is the most interesting, easy and profitable.He didn't hide his intentions. He heard that Song Xiaolang wanted to learn his craft and start a business. The whole street was spread as gossip. Waiting to see what the future of this kid will be in the end.

A month passed quickly, and "Saji Hubing" was the last one.

Hearing Grandma Sa's question, Song Wei turned around, leaned on the table with her arms behind her head, leaned against the table, turned her face up to the sky, and let out a sigh of relief: "I haven't thought about it yet."

The old man immediately spoke earnestly and began to educate the younger generation: "If you have a lot of money, there is nothing like a skill. However, the same craftsmanship, there is a difference between high and low. In our Fanfang, the first job is to earn a fortune through craftsmanship. Counting Lao Bei who swings a hammer. Casting copper and iron will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Half of the houses on this street belong to his family. He is also a top-notch household listed on the government register, and it is the most secure. "

Lao Bei opened a foundry, mainly iron and bronze wares, with superb skills and excellent quality.Not only forged special weapons and articles for the government, but also opened a shop for retail in West Market.In the Xianxi Dynasty, civilian weapons were not allowed, but the size and style were stipulated otherwise.

Song Wei said sullenly: "I tried it, I can't lift his hammer with both hands."

The foundry is the technical work that requires the most strength. Grandma Sa saw that he was lazy and hated iron for being weak: "Who is born to swing? Isn't strength developed through practice? That little apprentice, Lao Bei, is younger than you." How old are you, you were like a weak chicken when you came here, look at the present!"

Song Wei was embarrassed to answer.Uncle Bei is a generous and honest person, and he likes young people to make progress.Hearing that Song Xiaolang had turned from evil to good, he was very enthusiastic, and he took people around from the shop in the west market to the Yelu in the back alley.The tinkling sound, splashing of sparks, molten iron and copper juice, and the sweaty big muscles all made Song Wei's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't bear to wait any longer.

"Grandma, don't make things difficult for me, I really can't do this."

Grandma Sa looked at the white skin and tender flesh exposed on the outside of his clothes, which was smoother than her own little granddaughter, and she was not born to be born with a hammer, and sighed: "If you don't swing a hammer, there are light and delicate jobs. Old Ta The ready-made clothing shop of the old lady, the huqin shop of Laobai, the exotic medicine shop of Mingji, the spice shop of Rongniang, the jewelry shop of Pei's family...you didn't like any of them?"

Song Wei said dejectedly: "To sew clothes with needles, and to grind beads to make jewelry, is that what men do? It takes a long time to tune a three-stringed string; a pile of grass leaves and tree roots, squatting on the ground to pick them for two hours; a handful of dried flower seeds , so that there are big blisters on your hands..."

All light and delicate work requires calm and careful work.He was not patient enough to determine, and it was extremely painful.This is after repeated blows in the past and present life, they have made great progress, and made up their minds again, fearing that they would lose face, so they persisted to the end.Ruoyi's originally reluctance to break free, so boring, half an hour is the limit, he would have left long ago.

He was picky and picky, choosing the easy and fearing the heavy, even Little Sister Sa frowned, showing a helpless look.

Granny Sa slapped him on the head: "You bastard, what are you going to do? Your mother worked so hard to pull you into adulthood, and if you continue wandering like this, what hope is there for the rest of your life?"

Song Wei endured this silently, staring at the sky without speaking.

Above the mottled tree shadows, the dark blue sky is dotted with bright stars.The chirping of small insects came from under the wall, and the smell of food and flowers and plants wafted in the wind.Sa Xiaomei hung up a lantern and started tidying up the shop, preparing to stop work.Deep in the street, someone's mother is calling the naughty child to go home for dinner.People who came back from work in the West Market passed by the Hubing stall in twos and threes.From time to time, some people stopped to tease Song Xiaolang and asked if there were any cakes left, so the last batch of sesame seed cakes was also sold out.

Song Wei spread his arms and legs and leaned on the table and stool, with a vaguely comfortable smile on his face.Looking at his appearance, it seems that the most comfortable and enjoyable thing in the world is at this moment.

Granny Sa couldn't bear to scold more, so she picked up a rag and yelled at people: "Go quickly, so that your mother won't look back." Then she said, "You really can't stand it, so why don't you go for a long-distance delivery with some dealer!"

Song Wei twitched the corner of her mouth: "I think, you always think my mother will agree? Do you believe that she can really break my leg?"

Granny Sa pointed at his nose: "Lazy, greedy and playful, it's all your mother's habit!"

Song Wei straightened her waist: "Grandmother, don't scold me when you are old. I think my mother never expected her son to be extravagant, and she is living a happy life now. I just want to find something satisfying and happy to do. Just support yourself. I still don’t believe it, I can’t find a real business that I like in this world.”
