Chapter 6 The fourth back home from the cave east wall dark shock

The second plan Yanxi had in mind was that she couldn't go outside, but started planning at home.It may not be easy for the family to raise funds from the male side, so no one will cause a famine. It is more appropriate to start with the female relatives.As for the female relatives, the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law, Aunt Cui, can probably borrow a few.Mother, or you can ask for some money.Having made up his mind, he didn't think about it, so he went to find Aunt Cui first, and walked to the yard, deliberately stepping harder.When I heard that Aunt Cui was talking inside alone, she was probably on the phone with someone.Yanxi didn't go in, but stood in the yard, listening to what she had to say.I just heard Aunt Cui fuck Su Bai and say: "It's bad luck, Niezi lost more than 1,200 Yangtians yesterday. Ye Wu once beat him four times. Because it's a little bit of Yan, the old man is not allowed." Yanxi thought about it, there is no need to speak.She lost more than a thousand lines last night, and she is somewhat unhappy today.Thinking this way, he came to see his third sister-in-law Wang Yufen.This row of houses, three courtyards, lived in his father's one wife and two concubines, and the two courtyards behind this row were lived by two couples, the eldest brother and his wife.There is a hall in the middle, and after entering the hall, the three sisters of Yanxi and Jin Pengzhen, the youngest, live in two houses separately.

Yanxi came from Aunt Cui's side, walked along the parapet corridor at the west end, and turned into the Moon Gate, which was the room of the second eldest child, Jin Hesun.As soon as he entered the door, he saw his second sister-in-law Cheng Huichang walking out holding a stack of small notebooks.As soon as he saw Yanxi, he took a step forward, grabbed his hand and said, "Lao Qi, I'm just looking for you." When he said that, he put the stack of small books in his hand on the rockery.He took out another notebook, handed it to Yanxi and said, "You can also write some money." Yanxi saw that it was a donation book for Huiming Girls' School.Then he said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, if you don't take care of your brother, you will come to me for such a thing. I think you should go to your father." Cheng Huichang sneered: "Look for your father, forget it, don't Look for a nail! The last time I sent a copy of the articles of association of the Women’s Association, before I even opened my mouth, he frowned and said, “Who’s getting the limelight? I’m sure I’ll write donations. I’m rich and won’t save money.” Save the poor, and give them to show off. I didn’t dare to say the second sentence, so I withdrew.” While talking, Yanxi flipped through the donation book. bucks.The fifth sister, Minzhi, and the sixth sister, Runzhi, all wrote fifty yuan.Cheng Huichang wrote more than himself, and wrote two hundred yuan.Then he said with a smile: "When you write from the older one, you shouldn't just look for me, you should look for the elder brother. When you start with the dear one, you shouldn't look for me first, you should look for the second brother." Huichang said: "I originally went to The person who was looking for elder brother met you, so I came to you." Yanxi said: "Where is the second brother?" Huichang said: "He has money and can't use it like this, he wants to spend it in the alley." When he said that, Yanxi The second elder brother, Hesun, chased him out and said, "Didn't I write a donation? I gave you the money, but you threw it on the ground." Huichang said, "Who wants your ten dollars? Write it down." , when someone asks me, it would be better if you don’t write it, if they call me shameless.” Yanxi also wanted to write ten yuan.Now hearing that the second elder brother hit a wall when he wrote ten yuan, he smiled and said, "The two sisters are in front, and they only wrote fifty yuan. I'll write thirty yuan." Huichang laughed and said, "Old Seven, you are very I'm polite." Yanxi smiled.Huichang said: "It's not that I'm straight, you Jin family male and female brothers, you should reverse it. That is, the young lady becomes the young master, and the young master becomes the young lady." Hesun laughed: "You should say this, not the fifth brother. Sixth, did you donate a little more money?" Huichang said: "Their sisters have a much broader mind than you. Even the eighth sister is younger and stronger than your brothers." Hesun smiled at Yanxi , Said: "Money is really good, it can create air." Yanxi was eager to borrow money and didn't want to get involved with them, so she said to Huichang: "Second sister-in-law, you can write the letter for me. Forget it. I don’t have any money with me, so I can send it later.” After finishing speaking, he walked back.Walking behind, I saw Wang Yufen wearing an apricot-yellow cheongsam, with her back facing the full-length mirror, even though she turned her head to see the shadow behind her.His third elder brother, Jin Pengzhen, said in the inner room: "It's really troublesome! You said to go out at one o'clock, and you haven't dressed up until two o'clock. Forget it, I won't wait." Yufen said: "Busy What? How can we be like your men, just leave as soon as we say." Peng Zhen said: "Why can't we be like men?" Yufen said: "You can't wait, I go out like this." Yanxi saw him The elder brother and sister-in-law seemed to be arguing and flirting. They didn't dare to go in, so they coughed outside the door.Yufen looked back and said with a smile: "Lao Qi has time to come to me! If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, there must be something important here." Yanxi laughed and said: "Sister-in-law's listening to operas has improved even more. It’s just a set of operas.” Yufen laughed and said: “What is this! I’ll show you a play tomorrow.” Yanxi said: “I heard that the wives of the Deng family organized a colorful society. The third sister-in-law also Is it inside?" Yufen pouted at the room, then waved her hands.Said: "I have no relationship with them. I learned a few lines of singing, which were all taught by Hua Yuexiang." Yanxi said: "No wonder, I said what's the point of young mistresses holding Kunling, so it turns out that they are asking others to be their masters. " Yufen said: "Who is like..." Pengzhen continued: "Come on, don't go, you just sit down and talk about the show slowly." Yufen said: "I want to talk, I want to talk Talk! Are you in charge?" Seeing that his husband and wife were going out, Yanxi smiled and left.As soon as Yanxi returned to her room, she said to herself: "Unlucky! I was going to borrow money, but someone donated 30 yuan. I can't buy a house like this." Sitting alone in the room bored.A few hours later, Jin Rong came back and said: "We have already met Wang Desheng again. After talking for a long time, the price was not right." Yanxi said: "I don't necessarily want that dilapidated house, we will rent it. It’s only for a few months. But the first floor, if you don’t rent it, you won’t rent it. I will rent the two connected houses together.” Jin Rong said: “There are people living in that house, how can I rent it?” Yanxi He said: "I'm just a renter, and I don't want the tenant to move out. Why can't it work?" Jin Rong thought for a while, understood Yanxi's meaning, and said, "It may be possible, but Wang Desheng is very cunning. I’m afraid he’s going to knock us off.” Yanxi said impatiently: “Let him knock it off! How much money can it cost, at most one thousand yuan a month.” Jin Rong said: “Why do you want those?” Yanxi said Said: "This is not over! You are limited to finish the matter within two days. If you can't do it, I will not follow you." Jin Rong still wanted to talk, but Yanxi said: "Don't talk too much, just do it like that. You want If you don't do it, I'll ask someone else to go." Jin Rong didn't dare to make a sound, so he had to go out.

On the second day, Jin Rong asked Wang Desheng to meet again in the big wine vat, and specially offered a big price.The opening is one hundred and fifty yuan, and two houses are rented.After all, when the payment reaches 200 yuan per month, Wang Desheng will be given another 100 yuan in wine money.Wang Desheng was in trouble for a while, and said: "The rent is enough. But we can't rent the house of Leng's house. Because when the owner asks, why do you rent it? How can I say it?" Jin Rong said: "You just say We are doing it for convenience." Wang Desheng said: "What is convenience? One gate is facing the circle alley, and the other gate is facing the Luohua alley. They are not the same. Now they are renting well, you have to rent it in our hands, and then lease it to him , isn't it a joke?" Jin Rong was right when he thought about it, and didn't speak.Wang Desheng suddenly remembered something, smiled, and said to Jin Rong: "I have an idea, you don't have to rent that house, I'd be happy to hire your young master."Jin Rong smiled and said, "That's great, that's how we do it." Wang Desheng said, "The rent doesn't need to be that much, just one hundred and fifty. But..." Jin Rong said, "Of course I promised you, and I will never shrink back. Go back. If you do it like this, we will save fifty dollars a month and give you one hundred yuan for tea money. But our young master is very impatient, the sooner the better." Wang Desheng said: "Our house is placed here. What's the speed? You pay the rent and it's considered a success." Seeing that the matter had been accomplished, Jin Rong went back to report.Yanxi felt satisfied when she heard that, so she wrote a check for one thousand yuan and handed it to Jin Rong to tidy up the house and buy things.Within three days, everything must be ready, and on the fourth day it will be moved in.Knowing his temper, Jin Rong arranged with him day and night, and hired more than a dozen paper painters to paper the house overnight.The owner of that house was originally a man in the antique business, and he was the most profitable. Now that someone is willing to pay 150 yuan a month to rent this old house, there is nothing he can't agree to.That Wang Desheng uttered nonsense, and he believed it all.

On the afternoon of the third day, Yanxi went to see the new house in the car.Wang Desheng, who guards the house over there, is also there to supervise the masons and clean up the house.When Yanxi looked around, the papers were clearly written.Inside and out, I cleaned up again, and I am not as embarrassed as before.Wang Desheng saw Yanxi's elegant appearance, luxurious and compelling, he was a wealthy son.Then he came forward and bowed his legs to Yanxi, and greeted Yanxi with his hands hanging down.Jin Rong said at the side: "He is here to look after the house." Yanxi smiled at him, fumbled in his pocket, took out a ten-yuan bill, handed it to him, and said, "Buy you a pair of shoes to wear. "Wang Desheng was overjoyed and greeted Yanxi again.Turning back to Jin Rong, he said with a smile: "I've already done that, let's look all the way." As he spoke, he led the way.

I just walked through a corridor and heard a lot of noise.Wang Desheng turned his head and smiled and said, "Listen, isn't that the noise? Let's take a step quickly." Walking to the backyard, I saw that a short wall on the east side had collapsed more than half, and those broken bricks were still rolling down. rest.On the other side of the wall is the corner of a courtyard.Then someone shouted over there: "Oh! The wall fell down." In this voice, two women, a woman, came out.A middle-aged woman in the middle supported the woman and said, "Scared me, okay, why did you fall down?" The woman said: "Very well, the one who collects the house money is over there, please tell him Landlord." He said, pointing to this side with his hand.Wang Desheng nodded his head earlier, walked over to the gap, and said: "Coincidentally! I'm here, let me go back and tell the landlord." The middle-aged woman said: "Has the room next to yours been rented out yet? " Wang Desheng said with a smile, "it's rented out." The middle-aged woman said, "then it's inconvenient for the two families to make up for it quickly." Wang Desheng said, "it's all our house. What's the matter? They still live in the same yard." They were talking here, while Yanxi was listening and striking up a conversation, looking around at the trees in the yard, and peeping at the woman, who was exactly the one he admired Son.At this time, she was wearing a narrow set of black trousers, with short sleeves, revealing her snow-white arms, a short collar, revealing her snow-white neck, and a pair of narrow black velvet thin-soled shoes on her feet. Paired with white linen stockings, her jet-black hair is combed in two buns, and her fair face is black and white everywhere. With the harmony of colors, she is more plain and lovely.Because Yanxi was standing at the gap in the wall and was very close to her, the woman couldn't help but also glanced at her.I saw him wearing a light blue jinyunge gown, a mandarin jacket of printed blue satin with red rhinestone buttons, and a gray velvet basin hat with three colored floral silk hoops.I thought to myself, where did such a fashionable boy come from?For a while, it seemed that he had seen this person somewhere, but he couldn't remember.Yanxi turned around and was about to talk to Wang Desheng, when she met Wang Desheng unconsciously.The woman quickly turned her head and walked away first.Wang Desheng said to Yanxi: "Master Jin, this is Mrs. Leng, she is very kind." With a smile on her face, Yanxi cupped hands with Mrs. Leng.Wang Desheng said to Mrs. Leng again: "This is Jin Qiye, he will move in soon. His old man is Prime Minister Jin." Mrs. Leng saw that Yanxi was dressed so stylishly and heard that he was the prime minister's son. He looked him up and down.Because Wang Desheng introduced it from it, he smiled at Yanxi.Yanxi said: "We will be neighbors from now on. If there is anything we can't do, we should ask auntie for advice." When Mrs. Leng saw him speak, she called auntie, thinking that he was kind and amiable, and said with a smile: "Young Master Jin, don't be too polite, we I don’t understand anything.” When he said that, he said to Wang Desheng: “Please go back and tell the landlord to clean up this wall earlier.” Wang Desheng promised, “It can be repaired without trouble.”

Only then did Mrs. Leng go back into the house.As soon as he entered the door, his daughter Leng Qingqiu first asked: "Mom, do you know that young man over there?" Mrs. Leng said: "How do I know him?" Have you started talking?" Mrs. Leng said, "It's also the one named Wang who collects the house money. He asked him to be busy, and he was busy introducing him. The man called him aunt politely. How could I ignore him? The person surnamed Wang said that his father is Prime Minister Jin." Qingqiu said: "Look at him dressed like that, he also looks like a son of a son, he seems to have seen this person somewhere." Mrs. Leng laughed and said: "Where have you seen it before?" Ever seen him? This is the psychological effect you often say. Because you see that he is dressed too fashionable, you feel that he is similar to the usual fashionable people, so you seem to have seen it." Qingqiu thought, maybe this is right.After speaking, it was thrown away.I have nothing to do in the afternoon, chatting with my mother Han at home.Han Ma said: "Miss, haven't you been to the house next door? It turned out to be a very big house." Qingqiu said: "Okay, let's take a look. I'm here, I always see The trees next door must be very good there. But they are already moving, so we should go and meet people." Han Ma said: "It doesn't matter, they will move here tomorrow." Qingqiu said with a smile: "We Let’s go. Mom will ask me later, and I will tell you that you want to take me there.” Han’s mother smiled and said: “Yes, this is not going out for ten miles, who will take my mother and daughter away? With that said, the two of them came here through the gap in the wall.Qingqiu looked at these houses, inside and out, they were busy painting.The young leaves of the trees in the yard are growing green.Under the shade of the trees, many roses, peonies, and peony bonsai were newly placed, and it was very lively.To the north, under the wisteria trellis, there are three large houses in a row, which are especially ornately decorated.The window sashes outside were all covered with vermilion paint, which was still dripping with oil.On the glass windows, the same color is added with chisel gauze.Qingqiu said: "This kind of old house is so big, it's not cost-effective to tidy it up. If you have the money to clean it up, wouldn't you rent a new house?" Han Ma said: "No, maybe there are other reasons." When I said that, I opened the altar door and went in to have a look, only to see that the walls were all covered with foreign patent leather printing paper, which was shining brightly.Qingqiu said: "It costs more and more money. The living room in our school is pasted with this kind of paper. I heard that a room costs tens of dollars. This room is probably where their master lives. Yes." Han Ma said: "I heard that there is only a young master living here, and there is no young mistress." Qingqiu said: "A young master, why rent this big house?" Han Ma said: "Who knows? They That's what they say." When the two of them were talking, they saw exquisite wooden utensils and antique furnishings being moved in.Among them is a red sandalwood frame screen, on which the white silk is embroidered with peacocks opening its screens, as if it were alive.Qingqiu saw it, and said to Han's mother: "This screen is the best Hunan embroidery, and it's probably worth one or two hundred yuan." When Han's mother heard about it, she came over to look carefully.I only heard someone say: "Someone is watching there, so don't move." When Qingqiu looked back, it was the youth in Chinese clothes that he saw yesterday, now changed into a suit, and stood beside the wisteria trellis.Qingqiu blushed with shame, pulled Han Ma, and said in a low voice: "Someone is coming, go quickly." The wooden utensils did not follow the way they came, but they returned.The young man said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we are all neighbors. Over there goes to the gate, I will lead you back here." He said, leading him in front of him.When he reached the gap in the wall, he said again: "Slow down, don't rush, and fall carefully!" Han Ma said, "Excuse me."Qingqiu didn't say a word, took Han Ma's hand, just walked forward, and when he got home, his heart was beating wildly.Because of complaining to Han's mother, she said: "You said it. I want to go and play. Now I meet someone. It's so shabby." Chirping and cooing, they came over and asked: "What did you say?" Qingqiu didn't dare to hide it, so he said what he had just said when he went to the next door.Mrs. Leng said: "Go and see, it's okay. But the wall is down, it's very inconvenient here, we should ask the landlord to repair it earlier. Besides, I heard that this Young Master Jin is just here to organize something It is very inconvenient for the Poetry Club to live without family members." Qingqiu said: "Who did you hear that?" Mrs. Leng said: "It was your uncle who said it, and your uncle is the one who heard the rent Said."

Without saying a word, I saw Han Ma's husband, Han Guanjiu, coming in with two big red suitcases, and lifted the lid of the big red suitcases. On one side were steamed red and white osmanthus cakes and shortbread cakes, and on the other side were several bottles of wine and nannies. Desserts in the grocery store.Mrs. Leng said: "Ah! Where did these things come from?" Han Guanjiu said: "It was sent by the servant next door. He said that their young master said that they are all from the south. This is a little thing sent according to the rules of the south. Please don't return it." Mrs. Leng said: "Yes! There is a rule in our hometown, wherever we move, we have to send some things to the neighbors, which means that sweet people's mouth will be easy to get along with in the future It’s kind. But such a gift is always a plate of cakes, a plate of snacks, or a few rice dumplings. Where can I get these things?”

While talking, Leng Qingqiu's uncle Song Runqing came in from the outside and asked where the gift came from. Han Guanjiu told him, and then picked up a business card from the suitcase and showed it to him. Song Runqing unconsciously said: "It really is him. Ah!" After hearing this, everyone was puzzled.Mrs. Leng said: "Second brother, do you recognize this person?" Song Runqing said: "That's good if I recognize this person." Mrs. Leng said: "You saw this business card, why are you surprised?" Song Runqing said: "Let me first I heard from Wang Desheng that the person living next door is the son of Premier Kim. I still don’t believe it. Now this business card, Jinhua, named Yanxi, fits the family name of Jin Jianiao. Who is not the son of Prime Minister Kim? They took the business card What should we do?" Mrs. Leng said: "According to our southern rules, we have to accept these things. If we don't accept them, we just look down on them and don't want to make friends with them. Neighbor." Song Runqing said: "Then how do we make it? Such a family is not worthy of being our neighbor. What kind of family is worthy of being our neighbor? Take it, take it! For a moment, we have nothing else Return the gift, and thank him in person tomorrow." Mrs. Leng said: "That's not necessary." Song Runqing didn't wait for Mrs. Leng to finish, and then said: "My eldest sister is in charge of housekeeping. I admire you for these things. If it comes to people's sophistication, socializing outside , I have some experience in the self-confidence of being a foolish brother. He gave us something with the identity of the prime minister, and we accepted it for nothing, without even saying thank you, so what is it?" Handed out a business card to Han Guanjiu, and said: "You go and tell the person who delivered the things, just say that the uncle here will come to visit tomorrow in person, and now take the business card to thank you." Then he said to Mrs. Leng: "You should give me more rewards." A few bucks for their servants." Seeing what Song Runqing said, Mrs. Leng accepted the gift as he said.

On the next day, Song Runqing got dressed and came to thank Yanxi.Since he was visiting for the first time, he refused to come through the hole in the wall, so he made a big detour, deliberately walked in a circle alley to the gate, and let the porter go in to announce.When Yanxi saw that it was Song Runqing's business card, she thought of Jin Rong who had delivered something yesterday and said, "This is my uncle, so please meet me in the living room immediately."Song Runqing took off her hat outside the door and held it, and walked in with her hands folded.Yanxi saw that he was in his fifties, with a mustache and a thunderous face, paired with a pair of small glasses the size of copper coins, just like a little face on a stage.The clothes on his body, although they are also made of silk, are old goods from seven or eight years ago, and the sleeves of the shirt are tied around his body like a pen holder.I thought to myself, how can such a handsome person have such an uncle?Even as far as Mrs. Leng is concerned, she is a very gentle woman. Why is there such a brother?But for the love's sake, I absolutely don't want to treat him coldly."Please sit down, please sit down!" Song Runqing said: "I heard that Mr. Jin moved here, and my brother is very happy, so I plan to come to visit first. Yesterday, Mr. Meng Jin was so troublesome, I really don't like it." Yanxi smiled and said: "It's a small thing. We are all from the south, this is according to the rules in the south. Where is Mr. Song's yamen?" Song Runqing cupped his hands, wrinkled again Frowning, he said, "It's ridiculous. It's a small poor yamen, a drug prohibition center." Yanxi said, "What about your relative?" Song Runqing said, "My relative is a widow. My sister-in-law died three years ago." Xidao: "Mr. Song also lives here?" Song Runqing said: "Yes. Because there are few people in their family, the brothers live here and take care of the family." Yanxi smiled and said: "Since we are neighbors, we will not see each other in the future. I need to give you more advice." Song Runqing hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "Then I dare not do it. I heard that Mr. Jin moved out from the house, and he and some friends are going to organize a poetry club here, is that true?" Yanxi laughed Said: "That's what I mean. But my brother doesn't know how to write poems, but I just want to be a host and learn to write poems from my friends." Song Runqing said: "When it comes to poetry, my brother is an expert, and my brother can do a few sentences. Tomorrow, Mr. Jin's poetry club will be successful, so we must look up to him." Yanxi was very pleased when he heard that he could write poetry, and said, "Excellent. If you don't mind, brother, please ask for advice." Song Runqing said: " Mr. Jin made a joke. People like you who have written poems for generations. How can there be a reason why you can’t write poems?” Yanxi said seriously: “It’s the truth. Because my brother can’t write poems, I want to organize a poetry club.” Song Runqing Said: "Although I don't know anything, my brother has left the most books and poetry collections, and they are all here. Since we get along very close, we can often study and study together." Yanxi said: "Excellent. Mr. Song When are you in the mansion every day, after the arrangement here is complete, brothers can go there every day to learn." Song Runqing said: "My side is very narrow, there is no place to sit, brothers should come here from time to time to learn." Yanxi He laughed and said: "We are separated by a wall, and we can come and go as we please." Unexpectedly, Song Runqing was very happy to have such a chance to make a permanent friendship when they met for the first time.They also talked very happily. They talked for two hours and went home happily.
