Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

On the second day after Laba, I happened to catch up with Shen Yuxiumu. Early in the morning, Second Master Shen mysteriously winked at his wife.Baochai didn't know what he was going to do, so she turned her face away as if she didn't see it and let him do the trick.After accompanying the old man back to the yard after having breakfast, Shen Yu dragged her to the inner room, insisting on driving all the maids out.While he was wondering, he saw that he found a set of coarse cloth clothes from nowhere, and the style was also worn by ordinary women. Although the clothes looked simple, they were brand new and had never been worn. Shen Yu smiled. He stuffed the clothes to Baochai and said, "Go and change quickly. I'll wait for you to go out and buy new year's goods today."

Only then did Baochai understand what he meant, and cast an angry look over, "What's the fuss about? My family has already sent someone to run away for the purchases, so you have to worry about it." That's what he said, but still Take the clothes and go behind the screen to change.Shen Yu asked her to see that half of her body was crisp at a glance, and she giggled twice before remembering that she also had to change her outfit, so she rushed to the clean room to change with the burden she had asked someone to prepare.When he came back, Baochai was already sitting in front of the dressing table facing the mirror and combing her hair again, and replaced it with an ordinary bun, using the same silver-gilt hairpin that Shen Yutao had replaced earlier.At first glance, it looks like a young couple from an ordinary wealthy family who went out shopping to see the scenery before the New Year's Eve, except that their faces looked too handsome and pretty, but they were not at first glance.

There are only three masters in Shen's house, the grandma in charge and the second master want to go out for a stroll, no one dares to talk too much, they just watch Baochai holding a basket, Shen Yu'an is surrounded by a horse and busy working alone. The posture of the back hug just went out of the gate.When they were all out of the alley, they didn't worry about running to report to the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper went to inform old man Shen by the way, and the old man patted the old cat and only complained "don't take me there", so he There is no more text.

Shen Yu took Baochai and went out without calling a car. The two walked through the streets and alleys one after the other, took a few turns and took a shortcut, and somehow turned to Fangshi in the north of the capital.

Calculated according to the old rules, after Laba is the new year, the streets are full of ordinary people who come out to buy new year goods.The best business is those north-south shops and small shops that sell some rare food. Shen Yu held Baochai tightly for fear that she would be crowded. He took a deep breath and smiled and said to her: "Is it lively outside? I think you must have never come out to play like this. It is not very interesting to go out on weekdays. I have to take you out to enjoy the fireworks. It’s good to be alive.” Then he stood on the steps and pointed to the many shops in front of him, saying: “Let’s change into the clothes of ordinary people, and we are not afraid of being bumped into by our own family members or acquaintances. Let’s go, I invite you today , just say what you want to eat and play!"

In the capital city, the east is rich, the west is rich, the south is poor, and the north is cheap. To say cheap does not mean that the boundaries are cheap, but that there are many people who run cheap jobs here.Most of the vendors' shops in Fireworks Alley are doing business here, and the two of them bypassed their own shops to go to that rare place, and they really saw a lot of new scenes.Shen Yu stood at a small stall selling quail rice dumplings and pointed at the steamed rice dumplings and Baochai that the stall owner had just fried. Baochai nodded lightly, and the young man was very happy and said to the old man "Come here, I want a big one." After counting out the copper plates and throwing them into the box beside him, the stall owner sang like a song: "A serving of quail and 馉饳 is warm and delicious. Le." The tune draws a long tail, and the voice has to go a little higher, with a special rhythm.While singing, the old man quickly tied fifteen or six golden-fried scorpions with a stick and handed them over in a wooden bowl. Shen Yu picked one up with the stick and sent it to Baochai's mouth. Afraid of being hot, I withdraw it and blow it before sending it forward.

Baochai grew up so big and never stood by the side of the road like this in two lifetimes, eating from a wooden bowl. She couldn't wipe her face away for a while, so she blushed and looked around for a long time. Seeing that no one was looking, she leaned over to Xiaoxiao Take a bite.Seeing that she was willing to eat, Shen Yu smiled and handed over the bowls, found a place to sit at the stall next to her, ordered another bowl of noodles, sat down with Baochai, and continued to eat fried rice noodles with soup noodles.

"The 馉饳er made by this restaurant is willing to cut the ingredients, and the juice is also enough. Many people come to find him to eat. The only bad thing is that it has to be fried and used immediately. The taste will change after buying it." Shen Yu simply said He stretched out his hand to pick up a glutinous rice noodle and bit off half of it with a single bite. As expected, the meat juice inside was bubbling out, but the meat filling just happened to be caught and prevented from dripping down.It tasted crispy, crispy, sweet and palatable, even Baochai couldn't resist using a few more one after another.

After eating, Shen Yu walked forward again. The roads on both sides of Lifang became narrower and narrower, and the business people became more and more cramped.As they walked, people gathered around and applauded loudly, so Shen Yu protected Baochai and squeezed in to watch the excitement.

It turned out that there were a few normal people doing juggling, swallowing knives and spitting fire.I saw the head of the class took a gong to collect the money, then backhanded the guy, put his fists under his arm, and rushed around, saying: "It's not easy for us to travel all the way, and you are so supportive, so we have to bring out some rare ones at the bottom of the box." It’s the means.” As he spoke, he beckoned a child sitting next to him to come over with the rope.The head teacher put the money inside the gong on the ground, took the rope handed by the child and threw it vigorously into the sky, the rope stood upright on the ground, and I don't know if the other end has penetrated into the clouds.

At this time, the class leader made a fancy whistle and said to the surroundings: "This is a dog. Don't worry about our box-bottoming skills!" Some people watching around urged him urgently: "Hurry up! Don't shake these burdens." The class leader smiled and said: "Guest officers, listen to the younger one slowly. In the early years, the younger one used to travel with Western merchant ships all over the world. One year, he was dizzy when he was hit by a strong wind. The boat was also broken and the goods were lost. The little one had a big life. He took the dog and hugged the fast plank and let the strong wind blow to a fairy mountain on the sea. There was a fairy on it who saw that the little one felt sorry for the little one, so he wanted to do something to send us back. When leaving, the young one hugged the immortal’s thigh and begged again, saying that the goods were all gone, and he would not be able to make a living when he returned to the shore. If something went wrong, please forgive me, all the guests." All the people watching laughed and scolded him for talking nonsense, so Baochai turned to look at Shen Yu, but Shen Yu approached him with a smile: "Of course he is bluffing, if there are immortals, how could he So generous? Didn’t you hear the saying that if there is a law, it will not be passed on to the six ears? Tang Sanzang had to use a purple gold bowl with the handle of the Buddha as a bundle of cultivation when he went to learn the scriptures. When he came to this juggler, he changed his temper? Oh, it’s just a fool People's excuses, so that you can ask for money later, just watch."

Hearing what he said, Baochai felt relieved and turned back to continue watching. The class leader pulled the rope and said: "This rope is the immortal technique taught by the immortal. If you throw this rope up, it will lead to the heaven and fairy world." The onlookers were not happy to shout: "It is really rare for this rope to hang here, but you said that it is true to lead to the heaven? I am afraid it is not a lie!" The leader said calmly: "Since the guest officer doesn't believe it, call the dog How about going up and stealing Tao'er from the Heavenly Court and coming down to see you? There is only one, it's easy to go up, if the heavenly soldiers and generals find out, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back easily. The young one has only this little flesh and blood, so he can't bear it easily! "At this time, Shen Yu took out a piece of broken silver from his body and threw it in, shouting: "I don't want your kid to run for nothing, this silver is right for running errands, you go and pick a fairy peach with me to have a look." Others also threw copper coins, and there was another commotion. The child tightened his belt and wiped his nose, rubbed his hands and pulled the rope, and then climbed up.

The people around were in an uproar. Everyone saw that the top of the rope was hanging in the air. Although they couldn't see what was going on above it, it was still floating. Seeing the child pulling it and then climbing up, everyone was surprised.The child crawled so fast that he disappeared within a cup of tea, and after a while, a peach fell from the sky.The head of the class picked up the peach and looked around with everyone, and said: "Boss Wu, you said it was a fairy peach, but I saw it as an ordinary peach. What do you say?"

The class leader made a bitter face and said: "Guest officer, aren't you embarrassing? How can there be any peaches in this winter? If it's not for fairy peaches, how can they be fresh until this season." It's a pity that everyone who watched was dissatisfied If he insisted on proving it, the class leader was in a dilemma and said: "Since this is the case, it is necessary to expend effort to satisfy the guest officials." Then he broke open the peaches and took out the peach cores, randomly dug out a broken flower pot and poured them in. I buried some soil in the pot, and stuffed the peach pits into the soil under the watchful eyes of everyone, turned left and right and muttered words, and then stepped back, and saw the peach pits in the pot cracked to reveal a little green, and then broke out of the ground. Spawns a seedling.The seedlings grew when they saw the wind, and grew about three feet high in a short while. First, clusters of pink flowers sprang out, and after the flowers fell, green leaves were born.In a short while, these peaches changed from small to large, from green to white, and the tops were dyed with a layer of light red, and they were ripe.The class leader picked up the top one, took one off and cut it open, and tasted it with a few people who had thrown the broken silver. Everyone nodded and said that it really tasted like peaches.The class leader said: "How? Peaches are real, and those that can grow like this must be fairy peaches."

The onlookers nodded one after another and said: "I believe it, I believe it." Suddenly someone asked: "Huh? What about the kid? Why hasn't he come back after a while?" As soon as he finished speaking, the rope that had been standing on the ground for a long time suddenly The one loosened up and fell from the sky, and together with it came a coarse cloth jacket, which was obviously worn by the child who climbed up.The leader saw the rope falling down, his face was not good, and seeing his son's clothes falling down, he knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Oh! This is what the gods found and arrested. Poor dog, alas, alas, what should I do? !" The more she talked, the more she cried, and the people watching around couldn't help feeling sympathetic, and some people offered advice: "Hurry up and report to the official, what if the official finds the child?"

The class leader cried: "The government can't control the affairs of the immortals in the sky. The immortals who taught the crafts warned me, but I hate that the little one can't control it!" Seeing his pity, Baochai was really worried about the child, so she had to turn her head. Go see Shen Yu again.Seeing her turning around, Shen Yu couldn't bear it, held back her smile and said in a low voice, "It's all a cover-up, the child must be fine. There is such a cornucopia of wealth, if someone really takes it away, look at this class The main thing is not to fight desperately with others. Right now you are just crying and asking for money. If you don’t believe me, just keep watching.”

At this time, the people around had already made countless ideas with him, the leader just shook his head one by one, and finally a voice came out from an unknown corner: "Since we made such a fuss by juggling with us, I'm afraid it will fall on us again. A certain family has heard that some gods have captured their children, and as long as the family collects money and presents tributes, if they act quickly, they may be able to redeem the dolls." After saying this, everyone After a pause, he said again in pain: "Forget it, the New Year's Eve can't separate people's flesh and blood. If you have money, you can contribute money, and if you have the strength, you can redeem the child first." When I got to the head of the class, the whole floor was covered in a short while.

The class leader picked up the money with tears in his eyes, and found a big incense burner, buried the money in the incense ashes, and lit a stick of incense on it.The incense burned very fast, and the ash slowly overflowed the ground as it burned. After the burning was over, I took it apart and saw that the money was gone.The people nearby were overjoyed when they saw it and said, "It's useful and useful! The Immortal accepts the offering and will definitely return your son." Just as he was speaking, a child fell from the sky and landed on the clothes and bedding that the juggling troupe put aside. , the class leader ran over to pick him up and saw that it was the child who climbed up the rope earlier.

The spectators applauded, and another rain of copper coins was thrown in. Shen Yu also threw a share for Baochai, and took her out and walked to the side.With Baochai's cleverness, she has already confirmed that the leader of the group is deceiving people from the beginning to the end, and she can't think of a way.Shen Yu saw that she was frowning and couldn't stop thinking and didn't even look at the road, so she grinned and said, "Don't think about it, that's the craftsmanship of people eating, so you have to figure out if you're going to starve to death. Just watch it as a drama. By the way, do you watch Zaju? Or go to the theater to listen to a piece?"

Baochai smiled and said to him: "I'm not going. The theater is very good. Earlier, my aunt's house specially raised a theater troupe. I can't get enough of it!" Shen Yu pulled her back and walked to the other side: "Let's go Go, go and have a look, I know that there is a theater that has reserved a clean place for the female relatives. In the past, you listened to all the songs that could not be more elegant, but now listen to what ordinary people listen to." Where is Baochai? If he can earn more than him, he enters a mansion like a courtyard all the way.In the house, where the main courtyard was supposed to be, a stage was set up, and the surrounding areas were set up as tables for spectators to drink tea and eat fruit.Shen Yu took Baochai to find a place by the side and sat down, ordered a pot of hot tea and asked melon seeds to be brought up, tried with the back of her hand to see if it was hot, poured out a cup and pushed it to Baochai's hand: "After shopping so much After a while, your hands are cold, drink some hot tea to warm you up." Baochai couldn't push him, so she held him in her arms, took another sip, and sure enough, her hot chest was warmed up.

What is currently being sung on the stage is "Green Plum Cooking Wine". The white-faced Prime Minister Cao and Uncle Liu are pointing out the heroes of the world, and it sounds quite interesting.After Prime Minister Cao recited "The only heroes in the world are the emperor and Cao Er", he wiped it with a "dang" at the end to pretend to be thunder, and the chopsticks in Uncle Liu's hand fell to the ground.After singing this, another person in Tsing Yi with a crown of emerald flowers on his head came up to sing, picking up "The West Chamber", "The Peony Pavilion", "Li Wa Biography", "Huo Xiaoyu" and so on in rotation, quite a few. It makes people blush when they hear it.

Baochai could hear it at first, but she couldn't sit still as she went further, so she just got up and walked outside while Shen Yu snickered, touching her face.After Shen Yu chased him out, he stomped his feet and lost his temper with him: "Didn't you say that you bought new year's goods, what did you buy?!" Shen Yu said with a playful smile: "I listen to grandma, grandma will buy whatever she says!" The passers-by held back their smiles and walked quickly, for fear of embarrassing this beautiful little daughter-in-law, and told her to twist her husband's ears and make him kneel on the washboard.

Seeing that her face was blushing to the point of bleeding, Shen Yu was afraid of making people anxious, so she hurriedly pulled her around the alley and changed the way.As soon as I went out, there was a silver building facing me, and there was a lock bag embroidered on the bottom of the flag.Shen Yu said to Baochai, "I don't add jewelry to grandma on weekdays, so I just passed by here, so go up and have a look?" Baochai gave him a blank look: "Are you still hiding your private money?" Shen Yu hurriedly Pleading: "That's impossible! No, it's not private money, it's just salary. Besides, if the superior ordered us to raid the house, we must give some benefits, right? Otherwise, it would be nothing." Baochai looked at him for a while. He looked at Shen Yu until he hugged his head into a ball before letting him go and said: "Men are walking outside without any money in their hands. Although our family is not rich, there is no need to be like this. You also need to secretly save money yourself. Tomorrow, I will go to say hello to the accountant, and I will charge 100 taels from the public house every month to give you pocket money." Shen Yu hurriedly clenched her fists and said, "Thank you grandma for being so generous. Let's go to the silver building to have a look first, just this time, and don't hide it from now on, will it work?"

Hearing what he said, Baochai snorted and then stepped over the threshold of the silver building to enter.Shen Yu followed behind and wiped her forehead. The daughter-in-law was too clear about her account, and if she was not careful, she would reveal her secrets. It was really helpless.The waiter in the silver building glanced at the two newcomers, and was a little uncertain for a moment.Look at the clothes, they are just ordinary young couples, look at their faces, they don't look like what ordinary people can raise at all, and after a moment of hesitation, the two went to the innermost part.The outside of the silver building are all the skills of the apprentices, and the masters are more skilled as they go in. The innermost part has the fewest people, and all the good things are on display.

According to Baochai's eyes, I don't pay attention to other leisure jewelry. After walking back and forth a few times, I finally looked at the hollow bracelet twisted with gold thread on the innermost counter. There was a rustling sound as soon as it moved, and it seemed to be a bit of fun.Shen Yugang wanted to ask the shopkeeper to take it out to have a look, but Baochai shook her head and went outside again, and finally picked a rosewood-carved mother-of-pearl flower hairpin on the counter in the middle and back.The material used for this thing is not big, so the price is not too high, it is a little bit more expensive than the silver-gilt hairpin on the head now.

Seeing that she likes this thing, Shen Yu simply didn't even look at it, and directly asked the buddy to wrap it up and send it to the door of Shen's residence in the west of the city for reconciliation.Xiaoer smiled and narrowed his eyes, hurriedly found a long and thin box and carefully put the hairpin in it, and then called the idler behind to run to send it to him.After buying the hairpin, Shen Yu took Baochai out for a stroll around the street and bought some snacks and cooked meat at random, before heading back home, it was dark when the two of them reached the door.

The author has something to say: The previous typos were corrected during the day, and the source of the juggling magic I wrote today is in "The Wonders of the Ancient and Modern Times" compiled by the old man Baoweng. I can't remember exactly which one.This book was also broken by me, it is very interesting.In addition, the opera troupe really sang some eighteen-banned repertoires in the early days. There are vague descriptions in the trilogy of "Family", "Spring" and "Autumn" written by Mr. Ba Jin, and it is still Mingshou...
