After leaving the Jia family's charity school, Jia Qiang did not rush home, but walked all the way south.
After walking for more than an hour, I saw the scenery along the way and came to the famous Caishikou of Beijing. It was even more crowded, passing by and overwhelmed.
This is the largest vegetable market in Shenjing City, and at the intersection of Caishi Street, it is the place where death row prisoners are sentenced to autumn on the eve of the winter solstice every year.
However, Jia Qiang's destination was not here, but from this, he passed Chang'an Street, arrived in the south city, and entered the entrance of an alley called Madao Hutong.
Even in this world's Shenjing, the most wise place in the world, there are still many poor places, such as this Madao Hutong.
The roads inside the narrow alley entrance are bumpy, and there are garbage and urination at the sight, which makes people feel touching...
Entering the first house east of Madao Hutong, Jia Qiang gently pinched his nose, as if he wanted to block the pungent smell from his breath.
But it's just futile...
The worn wooden doors are mostly greasy and dirt, with several notches, from which you can see it inside.
Jia Qiang didn't pause for too long. After taking a breath, he pushed the door and entered.
This is a large slum, just as soon as you enter, but with the firewood shed built privately, there are seven or eight houses, which seem to have lived in three families, full of crowds...
When Jia Qiang came in, two old ladies in gray were sitting on the broken stone pier and quarreling, and two stubborn stones were squatting in front of their heels.
Another young wife was carrying a baby, picking up the stones in the corn in her pocket.
A dirty old cat lying beside the wellhead, basking in the sun lazy...
However, with Jia Qiang's arrival, the old man stopped quarrels and scolded, and the drooping child also raised his head. The young woman blushed and lowered her eyes, and couldn't help but raise her eyes and glance at the handsome and indifferent young man...
Who are you looking for?
A bold naughty boy stood up and asked loudly.
Jia Qiang smiled and said: I'll look for Liu Shi.
The naughty boy shook his head and said: We don’t call him Liu Shi, you went wrong.
As soon as he finished speaking, another naughty boy shouted: Ah Mao, you are so stupid, Liu Shi is Liu Hushi!
The naughty boy was dissatisfied: Liu Laoshi is Liu Laoshi. He is an honest person. Liu Shi is Liu Shi, and he is not necessarily an honest person. How could he be a single person?
An old woman drank two naughty boys: Go and go, go and play with her, and if there is no yolk, she will chew maggots.After cursing, he glanced at Jia Qiang with a squint eyes and shouted at the innermost room: Liu Daniu, someone is looking for your father!
Soon after, a young woman with a pale face but tall figure and a very good appearance walked out and saw Jia Qiang first as soon as she went out.
Her eyes were confused for a moment, then her apricot eyes suddenly opened up, and her eyes were filled with surprise: Qiang'er!
Jia Qiang nodded, then bowed and bowed softly, saying: Please do me.
This style made the old woman, young woman and several naughty boys who were originally in the lively scene were slightly stunned, then they curled up their jokingly and continued to watch it silently.
Even the people at the feet of the emperor respect the etiquette and laws of scholars.
Liu Daniu stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Jia Qiang's arm excitedly, and said: Qiang'er, why are you here?As he said that, his face changed again and gritted his teeth and said: Do you still recognize the door at home?
Jia Qiang just smiled and said nothing, but Liu Daniu was still excited: Dad always cares about you, but you live in the high-ranking official mansion and cannot recognize us poor relatives.Several times he came to the door, you only asked the servant to take a few taels of silver to pass it.Dad was so angry that he didn't want your money, so he left with his head.Last year, I got married and sent someone to tell you without telling her father that I didn’t expect that you only sent out ten taels of silver and never saw you.Why do you recognize the door today?
Although he was angry, tears came out of his eyes.
Jia Qiang said softly: Come and see my uncle, aunt and cousin.
Liu Daniu glared at him and saw that everyone around him was watching the fun, so she pulled Jia Qiang and said: Let's sit at home first, your nephew Xiao Shitou is still sitting inside. Now 80% of them have climbed out of the basket and drilled around the ground.
Jia Qiang followed Liu Daniu into the dim room. He looked at his cousin secretly, which changed a lot from his childhood appearance in his memory.
It seems that the genes of the mother tribe are really good. He is handsome and beautiful. This cousin is quite good, but his complexion is very bad. Moreover, he is only three or four years older than him, and he is less than twenty years older than him, but he looks old.
If there were no changes, she would probably be like most women in this world. She would become an old woman at the age of 30. She would have to live to the age of 40 and die early...
In the dim main hall, Liu Daniu first picked up a little boy over one year old who had just climbed out of the basket, beat it gently on his butt, put it back into the basket, and covered it with a snap...
Then she asked Jia Qiang to sit down, she wanted to prepare tea.
Jia Qiang persuaded him and said: I don’t need to do it, I’m not thirsty.There is no need for heretics at home.
Liu Daniu was persuaded by the four words "I've got to know Jia Qiang" and then she found some differences. Although her family was poor, she was born in the imperial city and had some knowledge. After hesitation, she asked: Qiang'er, are you no longer in the Duke's Mansion?
Jia Qiang smiled and nodded, Liu Daniu didn't want the reason, and asked in a low voice: But what's the difficulty?Could it be that the money is short?
Jia Qiang's heart moved and nodded slightly and said: Yes.
When Liu Daniu heard this, she stood up and shook her body gently, as if she was a little dizzy. However, before Jia Qiang could say anything, she walked to the head of the bedside with a dark tent, groped for a while, and got up and turned around. Although her face looked ugly, she still gritted her teeth and handed her hand to Jia Qiang and said: Take it, let's go and let's go and take it back, and you can take a look in a few days.
Jia Qiang stretched out his hand and took five or six pieces of silver from Liu Daniu, which was no bigger than soybeans, and the total amount was about less than two taels...
Liu Daniu seemed to feel less, and blushed with shame and said: Qiang'er, the money you gave you was not used to collect.But my father was sick a few years ago and the family really didn't accumulate any of them, so I... Later, I gave birth to a small stone, and the disease fell into the root of the disease. I kept taking medicine, and spent a lot of money. Look...
Jia Qiang put the silver on the table beside him, looked at Liu Daniu and smiled: Cousin, that ten taels of silver are my part of money. At that time, I only had that, otherwise I could give more. I didn’t borrow money, but now I’m asking for debts. What are you doing like this?
As he said that, he took out his wallet from his sleeve, took out an inch of about five taels of silver, and placed it on the table, saying: Although I lack silver, I am not yet at this point.Cousin, you are in poor health. If you don’t buy some good medicine, you will be better and worse in the future.
Liu Daniu waved her hands repeatedly and was about to say something to refuse when she suddenly heard a harsh old woman's voice from the courtyard: Honestly, Aunt Chun and Tie Niu, your guest is here, you are a handsome man. Your Daniu just pulled him into the house, and her son doesn't know what he is doing now!
