Chapter 63 Round 61: A sharp tongue like a string of pearls, seeking insatiable fame and flowers into broken catkins, romance is doubtful

After Yanxi got the letter, she wondered in her heart, should this be just a letter back to Xiuzhu?Suddenly someone shouted outside the window: "Now that I have a husband, have you really started to use my skills? Why do you hide in books all day like this?" The person who spoke was Huichang.Yanxi opened the door to welcome him out, and said with a smile, "Are you looking for me specifically?" untie.Yanxi smiled and said, "You don't have to say it, I understand first, it's your Chinese and foreign women's relief association, and you want me to sell two theater tickets, right?" But this time, I don't advocate that the family should pay for the theater tickets, because the theater tickets that my father has to sell on behalf of all aspects are already considerable, and I am afraid that each person in the family will have more than one ticket. According to me, you can go out Activities, find your friends who spend their days and nights, and they are all stingy." Yanxi said: "Since they are friends who are spending their days and drinks, why are they called "sacs?" It doesn't matter to the ground flower, as soon as he asks them to do something serious, he will have a lot of money. Because of this, I hope everyone will go out and discuss with those people who have money stuck in their dog holes and don't do good things. Look Can you find one or two people with hearts among them?" As she spoke, she took out a stack of theater tickets from her pocket, held them in her right hand, waved them like a fan, and patted them on her left hand. After a few times, he smiled and said: "Take it, just take it. If you can't sell it, the ticket is still mine, and you don't have to suffer. Because when I took the theater ticket, I explained that I can get more tickets. I want to return it if I can't finish it. They actually think that I am the best ticket seller, and they will never return it if they take it. They promised me to return it all. After hearing this sentence, I became more courageous, no matter what You can get six or seven out of ten tickets." Yanxi laughed and said, "Chinese people value boys over girls, but sometimes they let girls take the lead. For example, things like persuading donations If a man goes out to do it, he will inevitably run into a wall. If he changes to a woman, she will feel a little embarrassed, so he has to be wronged and take out the money." Huichang said: "Your words are a bit insulting to women! Why do women go to collect donations? Is it easier?" Yanxi said: "This is a compliment, at least it is the truth, why is it an insult?" Huichang said: "Your words are not good on the surface, but they are insulting in your bones. You think that a woman is going out. Soliciting donations is begging for mercy." Yanxi smiled and said, "This is difficult, saying that women can get donations is an insult, but is it flattering to say that you can't raise donations?" Throwing it on the table, she said with a smile: "It's up to you whether to raise or not. This is a ticket, and I will keep it." After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Yanxi took the theater tickets and counted them from the beginning. There were fifty tickets in total, and the price of each ticket was printed as five yuan.While counting, he walked into his own room.When Qingqiu saw it, he asked, "Where did you get a lot of theater tickets?" Yanxi said, "Where can you get these theater tickets? The second sister-in-law entrusted me to sell them on my behalf. The theater tickets cost five yuan a piece, and There are fifty cards, where do you find so many people to take advantage of?" Qingqiu said: "You can't find a market, why did you accept it again?" Yanxi said: "It's helpless. If you take it, no matter what, it will be sold Half of it is just to save face. I propose ten tickets here, and you give them to your classmates. All the ticket prices will be paid by me." Qingqiu said: "Why do you want to be so generous? My classmates, who I won't see any kindness from you." Yanxi said: "What do I want them to do? I don't want to throw away the ticket. Anyway, I want to buy ten or twenty tickets." Qingqiu said: "Second sister-in-law is asking you to go Selling is not asking you to buy it privately, why did you buy 20 copies?" Yanxi said: "Instead of asking for five yuan and begging for alms, it's better to bear it yourself and just buy it." Qingqiu sighed He said in a tone: "I think you are very generous for such a feat, but in fact it is the habit of a dude who knows no hardships. Think about it, we are people who have no income at all. In the past, you were alone in the shadow of your father and brother, so that's nothing." .Now we are two people, and there is a little more dependence. We plan ahead, and quickly think that the way of self-reliance is serious. You don’t care about this at all, just go short, just borrow money, you can live on debt for a lifetime Is it?" Yanxi smiled a little at first when she heard what she said, but then she realized that the words were wrong, and said with a dark face: "How can you be so sour in what you said? I stood up all over my body when I heard it." Qingqiu saw him If you look angry, you won't say anything.Seeing that she was silent, Yanxi smiled and said: "Your words are too serious, you are a fool when you say it, and you don't care if people can stand it or not?" Qingqiu also had nothing to say, so he could only laugh it off.Yanxi stopped throwing down the ticket, put the ticket on her body, and went out to sell tickets.

With these fifty tickets, he was always busy for two days and two nights whenever he went to find relatives and friends.On the third day, because I didn't come home until after two o'clock in the middle of the night, I slept until twelve o'clock before getting up.After waking up, he was about to continue selling tickets when he heard Jin Rong standing in the yard and shouting, "Qiye, I have a phone call, go and talk by yourself." Jin Rong said this because the notice cannot be said publicly. a cipher.When Yanxi heard it, she put on her clothes and ran to the front to answer the phone.As soon as he spoke, it turned out that Wanxiang called.He opened his mouth and said, "You're such a good man! I've been looking at you every day for three or four days, but I still haven't seen a trace of anyone." Yanxi said, "Is there anything I can do? I'm too busy these days." Xiang said: "Of course there is something to do! It's nothing, why should I call and bother?" Yanxi thought for a while, she should also go.So I took a car and came to the small mansion.After entering the house, Wan Xiang grabbed her and said with a smile: "You are really unreasonable! I'm really anxious if you don't come again." Dai said, and took Yanxi into the house.As soon as Yanxi entered the house, she saw an old lady wearing a green cloth leather jacket, who came out from the back room and said with a smile: "You are here, my girl is young, let alone a sister-in-law, she is like a sister in my family. Please take care of me!" When she said something like this, Yanxi couldn't figure it out.Still Wanxiang smiled and said: "This is my natal mother, my own mother, not the leading mother. I live a boring life by myself, so I picked her up and kept me company for a few days. Although your brother If I didn't agree to this matter, I can't say that I married him, and I can't even recognize my mother." Yanxi smiled, and couldn't say anything.Wan Xiang said: "I came here for nothing. Your elder brother drilled his ass and left without leaving me any money. A few days ago, Second Master Liu sent a hundred yuan. I didn’t say how long I would take care of it, so I just left it and left. You see, where do you want to spend money? These two days, all the electric lights and telephones have come to collect money, and the wages of the people below should also be given to others. After a few days, I went to Once I went to the market, I didn’t dare to go anywhere. Firstly, I followed your brother’s order, and secondly, I was really afraid of spending money. Look, how about it? You must do me a favor, and don’t keep me in a hurry.” Yanxi was waiting While talking, Wan Xiang said again: "You play small cards at home, and you can win or lose two hundred and three hundred dollars a day. Your brother is confused and asks someone to send this one hundred dollars. Look, what is the use of it?" What about it?" Yanxi saw that she had uttered a series of words like setting off firecrackers, but she didn't know which one to answer, so she sat on the sofa, leaned against the back of the chair, looked at Wanxiang and smiled.Wan Xiang said: "What are you happy about? Is what I said wrong?" Yanxi said: "You really know how to say it, I let you have nothing to say. Aren't you asking for money? I just sent it tonight .” With that said, he stood up and was about to leave.Wan Xiang said: "What's the matter? Can't this be your home? The surname here is also Jin! What's the point of sitting a little longer? Wang Ma, make a pot of tea from that good dragon well. You see, I'm such a fool. The guests have been here for a long time, so I asked for tea." When she said, she smiled and gave his mother a wink.Pressing Yanxi's shoulder again, he said, "Don't go, I'll get you something to eat. If you leave, I'll be annoyed!" As he spoke, he pretended to stare, puffing out his cheeks.Yanxi smiled and said, "I don't want to leave." Wanxiang then ran into the house and brought out a large tea tray made of silk fiberglass. There were also melon seeds, peanut beans, dried begonias, and red dates .She put the plate on the small tea table, grabbed a handful, put it in Yanxi's arms, and said with a smile: "Eat! Eat!" Yanxi said: "This is a big mixed meal bought during the Chinese New Year, do you still have it now? Wan Xiang said: "I have too much. I bought two yuan, but I didn't eat anything." Yanxi laughed and said, "The strange way wants me to eat, but it's like a child coming and eating all kinds of things." Xiang's mother sat on the side and didn't have a chance to speak for a long time, so that's it.She said: "Don't say that! Big brother, the Chinese New Year is a lively meaning. It's a good omen. Who cares about eating it! I made dumplings on the 30th night and kept the Lantern Festival for eating. That's what it means. Chinese New Year? Hearing what the old woman said, Yanxi felt even more displeased, ignored her, stood up and said to Wanxiang, "Eat and talk, is there anything else? If there is nothing, I will I'm about to leave. There are many things left at home, I came here when I had time, and I'm still waiting to go back." Wan Xiang said: "It's not easy to invite you here, but you won't sit here for a while? It doesn't matter if you don't send money, I can't blackmail you anyway." After saying this, Yanxi had to sit down for a while, and had to talk nonsense for a while.After talking for more than an hour, I finished eating a large handful of mixed food that Wan Xiang brought out.Yanxi smiled and said, "Maybe you can let me go now?" Wan Xiang smiled and said, "Go away! I won't lock you up. When will the money be delivered? Don't make me call seven or eight times again." " Yanxi said: "It will be delivered tonight. If you don't, don't call me Jin in the future." After speaking, he didn't dare to delay any more, got up and left.

When I got home, I called Liu Baoshan and asked him to come to talk with him in the study. As soon as Liu Baoshan came, he smiled and said, "I understand that you asked me to come. Isn't it for your new sister-in-law's family?" Xidao: "That's not true! She called me today and said that you only gave her one hundred yuan." Liu Baoshan said: "I am following your boss's order. On the morning before he left, I sent someone to send me a note asking me to pay one hundred to one hundred and fifty yuan a week for my family, and I delivered it myself. I thought the second week, don’t send less. So send one hundred yuan first I plan to send another 50 yuan tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Since she lives at home alone, she has 20 yuan a day, which is enough anyway. Even if your boss is here, you can’t spend these every week, right? How? She doesn’t like it. Is it less?" Yanxi said: "No! I think the boss is not here, so give her a few more money, so as not to cause trouble." Liu Baoshan said: "How to avoid trouble? It has already been done. Fengju The one who made a treaty with her didn't mean that she was not allowed to associate with her natal family, but her natal family were all low-class embryos, so she was only allowed to visit once or twice, and did not keep her, nor did she give anything to her family. But according to my coachman, her mother is here, and her two elder brothers are here, and the servants are still outside. The old lady and uncle are screaming loudly. The two uncles are sitting in the upper room and sitting in the porter Sit down, that’s not enough, and I brought their friends to make trouble. When I went that day, I wanted to go to the Yiqiu Pavilion where we ate chrysanthemum pot. Before I entered the door, I heard the noise of people inside. It was the two uncles who were in there, negotiating over a problem. This way, Yi Qiuxuan became Uncle Yixuan, so I didn't go in. Probably there is enough trouble here." Yanxi said : "I didn't know that her two uncles were there. If the boss finds out about this, he will die of anger. Tonight, I have to go again to see how the situation is? If those two are really entrenched Get up, I have to issue an expulsion order indirectly." Liu Baoshan said: "Issuing an expulsion order? You don't have the qualifications, do you? Fortunately, it's not your own house, so let her make trouble." Yanxi said: "It's a joke, Don't we care?" Liu Baoshan was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Probably there is no joke. Otherwise, you can send an express letter to your boss, tell him the situation, and let him do what he wants." Yanxi said : "Although the whip is long, it is not as long as the horse's belly. Telling him will make him worry in vain." Liu Baoshan said: "It's not good if you don't tell him. What will happen tomorrow? What will we do in the future?" Yanxi said: "Get out There won't be any big troubles, right?" Liu Baoshan said: "If we continue like this, there will be no troubles." Yanxi said: "I'll go there today to have a look, if it's not too embarrassing, I'll just pretend to be a little vague. If according to what you said, Yiqiuxuan has changed into Yijiuxuan, I must write a letter." Liu Baoshan said with a smile: "My old brother, don't give me the word Yijiuxuan. Tomorrow this sentence will reach your new sister-in-law's ears, we are like dogs and mice, meddle in other's business." Yanxi said: "I don't say this, how can anyone else say it? I want to say it to her Now, am I still a friend?"Hearing what he said, Liu Baoshan left in peace.Yanxi thought about it, this kind of situation is no longer noticeable to others, Wan Xiang's matter may have gone too far.On that day, I raised a hundred yuan, had dinner, and gave it to Wan Xiang personally.At the door, without going in, I called the footman first, and asked the young lady if there were two brothers here?The servant said: "I'm not here today." Yanxi said: "I'm not here because I'm coming today, why don't you avoid me first?" The servant smiled when he heard that.Yanxi said: "When the uncle comes back, let me see how you explain it? It's a mess here, and you didn't give me a call." The servant said: "The young lady here won't let me tell you. What can I do?" Yanxi said "You told me in private, does she know? I know, you and that uncle are part of the same party." So she snorted twice before walking towards the inner courtyard.At this time, the light was turned on in the long living room on the right. Yanxi opened the glass door of the corridor outside, and already felt a strange smell coming into her nose.In this smell, there is the smell of wine, mutton head meat, green onions, and human sweat, it is simply indescribable.The plaque on Yiqiuxuan was still hanging, the door was ajar, when entering the door, a burst of very hot air rushed straight in.Look inside the house, the electric light is very bright, the coal in the iron stove is almost full, and the fire is still raging and roaring.There was no one in that room.To the east was originally a couch, on which a blue quilt was spread, and seven or eight pieces of clothes were piled up in disorder.To the west, under a row of matts with antiques, a pair of planks and two white wooden benches were dragged from nowhere, with a horizontal block in the middle, and another bed was displayed.A dozen tabloids, a wine bottle, and a few dried lotus leaves were piled up on the round table in the middle.There were two black towels on the white-iron grill around the stove, and it smelled like burnt food.Looking parallel to the edge of the palace gauze lampshade in the middle of the room, there are two hemp ropes, on which are hung a dozen yarn socks.There are black ones, some cloth-colored ones, and some old-fashioned ones.Some are connected to the heel, some are used to fill the front top, and some are equipped with a full bottom. They are floating in the air, just like the national flags of thousands of countries.Yanxi hurriedly withdrew, pushed away the lattice fan, and spat into the yard several times.Wan Xiang walked all the way in the front corridor and said with a smile: "Hey! The money sender is here, he keeps his word, really unambiguous." As he spoke, he walked around the corridor and walked forward.He laughed and said: "Your brother is not in Beijing, and there are no guests. There is no one to tidy up this room, and it is in a mess. I was talking about them just now. Go sit in the north room, there are still many messes." Yanxi He frowned, and didn't say anything.Wan Xiang smiled and said, "Don't be so sad. I know all about your narrow-mindedness. Didn't you make a mess in the living room? These are my natal two older brothers who came here to see My mother. I stayed here for two days, and yesterday I kicked them out. I was careless and didn't ask the old lady to pack it up, which made you catch such a big mistake. It's clear, what else do you want Are you happy?" As he spoke, he pushed Yanxi into the front room.Yanxi laughed and said, "Did you catch the robber overnight? Why did you drag me out like a gust of wind?" Wan Xiang said, "It's not that I dragged you here. I see it's uncomfortable for you to stand there. I'd better let you go." It's good." Yanxi said: "It's not uncomfortable, but there is no one in the house, there is a big fire burning in the stove, and there are many socks hanging on the rope, if it burns, the landlord's house will be burned down. Now, what should we do?" Wan Xiang said: "The fire in the iron stove is suffocated, why did it burn down the house?" Yanxi said: "Everything in the world is like this. If you don't think there will be thieves, you will cause thieves. If you think you won't get sick, you will get sick. If you think you won't catch fire, you will catch fire. If you have paid attention to it, there will be no trouble." Wan Xiang smiled and said: "You guys can talk, you can talk. It depends on you Such unreasonable things will be justified as soon as they come to your mouth." Yanxi was afraid that if she continued, the words would be too long, so she groped in her pocket for a while, left a small stack of banknotes, and took out a The small stack of bills was handed over to Wan Xiang and said: "This is fifty yuan. I've been busy all day. Please take it for now." Wan Xiang didn't reach out to take the money, and smiled at Yanxi: "My little one Brother, why are you not as good as an outsider? Liu Erye didn’t ask me to find him, so he sent a hundred yuan. I always say hello to you, and I never asked you for a needle before. This time, your brother left and asked you to take care of me. I asked you to come here again and again. It is said that you should do me a favor. Now you can’t give more , but not as good as outsiders, do you think I should talk or not?" Yanxi smiled and said, "That's not what I said. What I sent was the boss's money, and Liu Erye sent it, and it was also my boss's money. Now We helped him find a way to get the money, anyway he has to return it to others. It's not a gift from us, but you can tell who is thicker and who is weaker." Wan Xiang clapped her hands and said: "Not yet Yes! Anyway, it’s someone else’s money, why don’t you send two more?” Yanxi smiled and said, “Didn’t I tell you to accept it for now? After a few days, I’ll send another sum, how about it? "When she said that, she stuffed the money into Wan Xiang's hand.Wan Xiang smiled, grabbed the banknote and Yanxi's hand, and said, "Unless you say so, otherwise, I will starve to death, and I will not accept the money to buy rice." Yan Xi twitched her hands and said, "This is the end of my business." Wan Xiang said, "Don't go, go and have dinner here." Yanxi said, "I still have an appointment! It's only half an hour late, why don't you go?" Can you delay?" Yanxi walked out quickly after she finished speaking.Through the glass door, Wan Xiang kept looking at the screen door in the backyard, and then she counted a little money in her hand, and sighed, "You know what you know, but you don't know what you think. I'm sure this kid will help me. You see, he only brought these here." Wan Xiang's mother was folding her clothes in the room, and after hearing this, she came out and asked, "How much did he bring you? Didn't you say that this child is a sweetheart?" Is it good?" Wan Xiang said: "You have a good heart, but if you want money, your heart is not good." Her mother said: "Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat. What is this talking about? Once Uncle Jin left , just leave us behind like this, and don’t give us a single one.” Wan Xiang said, “If you don’t know how to say it, then don’t say it, why don’t you give any of it? Isn’t this money?” Her mother said: “This isn’t Uncle Jin It's for you!" Wan Xiang ignored her mother and sat on the side thinking about her own thoughts.Her mother said: "Don't think about it! I think what the godmother said is a bit unreliable. You have food and clothing here, and you don't have to wait for others. Isn't this better than in the small class? Uncle Jin didn't leave it behind." Money, it doesn't matter, as long as his family is willing to provide the money, it doesn't matter even if he comes back half a year after the anniversary. If you give birth to a boy and a half girl in the future, can the Jin family say it's not his child? " Wan Xiang frowned. : "Don't talk about it, it's upside down, it's not right at all. Do you think that marrying Mr. Jin will be enough to eat and drink, and live happily for a lifetime? That's a lifetime of suffering. Tomorrow, you will be full of children and grandchildren, and you will still be his aunt, No matter where you go, you will lose face." Her mother said: "Don't say that, for a family like ours, if you want to get such a big relative, you have to wait for a lifetime. People are so lacking, and it's not good to marry an uncle. Exactly. Do you think, if someone is such a high-ranking official, can he still come to our house and marry you as his wife?" Wan Xiang said, "Why do you always speak for others and don't think about me at all? Her mother said: "It's not that I'm helping others to talk, we should make up our own minds, and it should be the same." Wan Xiang said: "I won't tell you anymore, it's still early, I'll go to the movies. What do you want to eat?" Eat? I'll bring it back for you at the Nanhuo store." As he spoke, he rang the bell, called in the servants, and hired a car to go to the cinema.After entering the room, I looked in the mirror, opened the powder tank, and applied a layer of powder.Opening the closet, I picked out a set of bright clothes to change into, and changed the shoes to the same color.Then I put on my hat, took my purse, looked in the mirror, and put on my powder. Then I was smiling, creaking, and went out with high heels on the way.

It was a coincidence that Yanxi was also watching a movie that night.Yanxi arrived first and sat in the back row.Arrive late and sit in the front row.Yanxi was sitting in the back, but she didn't notice, Wanxiang was in the middle row, she picked an empty chair and sat down, suddenly a boy in a suit smiled at her and said, "Hi! Long time no see." When Xiang took a look, he recognized the man. He was an old customer from the brothel.His attitude was also very luxurious at that time, and he paid great attention to him.Unexpectedly, he only came to tea three times, and then disappeared.He may not know that he has become a good student, but he can't blame him when he greets him like this, because he nodded and smiled.He asked, "Is it alone?" Wan Xiang nodded again.Seeing that there was an empty chair beside Wan Xiang, the man simply sat down and talked to her.Wan Xiang got up and wanted to leave, but seeing the embarrassment on that person's face, she thought to herself, this place is mixed with men and women, why do acquaintances come and walk away?Isn't it to give others face up and down?During that period of hesitation, the light went out.Yanxi sat in the back, so she didn't have the heart to go to the movies, she just watched Wanxiang's seat.When it was time to rest, the lights came on, and Wanxiang turned her head by chance and saw Yanxi, and her face burst into blush.Quickly folded the cloak, put it on his hand, came to Yanxi, smiled and said: "When did you come? I didn't see you." Yanxi said: "I just opened when I came in, and I didn't see you either. .” Wan Xiang saw that there was an empty chair between the two of them.He said to the two people sitting next to Yanxi, "Excuse me," and asked them to move.Seeing that she looked like a family member, another young woman came forward to ask for it, looked at her, and stepped aside silently.Wanxiang asked about the plot of the movie, and Yanxi explained it casually.After the movie ended, Yanxi put her in her own car and took her home.When they got to the door, Yanxi waited for her to enter the house, then said a few words to Tingchai, told him to be careful about the doors and windows, and then went home.

When they got home, they called Liu Baoshan to come quickly.Fifteen minutes later, he was there.Yanxi was not afraid of the cold, and was pacing up and down the corridor outside the study with her hands behind her back.Liu Baoshan said: "My Seventh Lord, I am enough to serve you. Today, I have been summoned twice." Yanxi pulled his hand and said, "Come in, I have something to say to you." Liu Baoshan entered When the room came, Yanxi told him everything about today and tonight before he sat down.Yin sighed: "My boss is really spending money to find love." Liu Baoshan said: "Since she was born in a brothel, of course she has a lot of old rain. If she doesn't stay at home, how can she avoid meeting acquaintances? "Yanxi said: "Although you can't completely blame her, won't she just ignore her? If she ignores her, she won't dare to come over and get acquainted with her rashly, right?" Liu Baoshan said: "Of course. It's also her fault. Du Jianfangwei, now I have to give her some advice. What kind of wording do you think it should be?" Yanxi said: "I have already thought of an idea, let me transfer a senior When the older old lady goes, she says she will do things for the errands. If she really talks about her social life, I will send a telegram to the boss. What do you think of my method?" Liu Baoshan said: "That's not appropriate. Boss Zhu Yishi I have known her a long time ago, and after marrying her, Lao Zhu can be regarded as a matchmaker, so I think it's better for me to tell Lao Zhu to persuade her. If she doesn't listen to her advice, we don't have to be polite to her." Yanxi said: "That person doesn't listen to persuasion. If he listens to persuasion, he won't have such a long dispute with the boss. Last time, my sister-in-law nailed me for two or three days and asked me to lure her. She said that she didn't make things difficult for her. I just want to see what kind of person she is. I always gossip and cover things up and make things go away. Now I regret that I shouldn't have done it for others, and letting them quarrel is just a quarrel and a break up." Liu Baoshan He laughed and said, "Where did you start! She can't stand your boss no matter what, and she has nothing to do with you. She wants you to be so angry? Your boss is not Yang Xiong, and she wants you to come out and be this desperate Sanlang Shixiu?" Yanxi blushed and said, "Why is that so?" Liu Baoshan said, "I'm talking nonsense, don't take it to heart. I will admit how I should be punished tomorrow." Yanxi said, "It's not like that. You will be punished. You will find Lao Zhu and tell him this tomorrow. I don’t want to bother about it any more.” Liu Baoshan felt that he had said something wrong and meant nothing, so he got up and left.Yanxi was about to go to bed, but Peifang sent Jiang Ma to invite her.Yanxi said: "It's so late at night, what do you want me to do?" Jiang Ma said: "Since you are here to invite me, of course there is something to do." Yanxi was suspicious, so she followed Peifang.
