Tea People Trilogy 王旭烽 11982Words 2018-03-20
buried.Uncle Cha Qing was lying on the bottom of the coffin, very loose, making one feel like another one could lie in it.A pack of Huangshan Maofeng tea was placed on his left shoulder, and a pack of Hangzhou Longjing tea was placed on his right shoulder.He should have had a copper coin in his mouth.But Lin Ouchu, Mrs. Hang, refused. She said that Uncle Cha Qing was born with no love for money, and then she actually poured a spoonful of lotus root powder into his mouth, saying that he likes lotus root powder.People who came to the funeral said that Lin Ouchu was a little crazy, and there were no rules in everything.The bottom of the coffin was supposed to be lined with copper coins, but now there is a thick layer of tea leaves; when the coffin was encoffined, the eldest son held his head and the second son held his feet. Uncle Cha Qing had no children. Tian Zui came to exercise this power, but in the end he only held his feet, but Wu Sheng held his head.

"Wu Sheng is really scheming," his wife Lu Ai said to Tianzui, "he also bought the water and clothes. He packed Cha Qingbo's clothes, shoes and socks to the street, burned paper money by the well, and even took a bath. The corpse belongs to him too..." "What are you talking about? Why do you have the heart to talk about this? What's the point of talking about it?" "Tianzui, you really shouldn't be so indifferent, even Xiaocha can't stop crying, you just lean back and forth, you can't get involved in anything." "I don't care? Me? I don't care? You people, you people!"

The coffin maker in charge pushed the coffin lid onto Ge's body following the push pattern.People started crying again.With the ax in his hand, the coffin maker began to hammer the "children nails" on the coffin with the back of the ax.Many people looked at Lin Ouchu with ulterior motives, to see if she would cry, to see if she would call "I'll go with you", that is usually the climax of a funeral, but no.During the whole encoffining process of Uncle Cha Qing, Wu Sheng was the only one crying, and Xiao Cha was next.What they do in mourning is strangely well-matched.Lin Ouchu always had a dull face, and she was supported by Lu Ai from east to west, it seemed that she hadn't been hit too much, but she seemed to have been completely crushed.

The master craftsman began to hammer the nails.He stood in the middle of the headrests in front of the coffin and knocked on only the headnails. He sang: "The stars in the sky, the stars on the earth, Mother Moon can see clearly, Master Lu Ban knocks new nails, Grandpa has no restrictions here." ... Then, he went to the middle of the buttress behind the coffin and knocked the second nail on the buttress: the new nail was hit on the red buttress, stepping on the lotus flower step by step, one step up the mountain, one step higher, and the next step down the mountain. ...Hang Tianzui heard Wu Sheng talking to others, "I specially invited this coffin maker. Look, the nails are eaten in after three or five strokes. He also knows the rules. There is no double-headed one. It's a single note, look, look, say a word! Okay, Shaping."

Everyone's applause made the master craftsman very proud.Now, he came to the middle part of the left foot of the deceased, and began to nail his left foot nails: "The new nails are knocked on the left foot, and they have been married to men and women for thousands of years. Don't finish cooking, eating, eating, and using. The more you live, the more you live." It’s sweet.” Then he nailed the nail on the right foot vigorously: “When the left side is knocked on the right side, a golden flower will bloom on the ground, and the descendants of the tea house and tea house will bloom, and the money will be earned lightly.”

Hang Tianzui felt sad all of a sudden.He thought, everyone is doing their own life in the name of others.One person's death can be exchanged for another person's performance opportunity.Who doesn't know that Wu Sheng is showing off?There is also Honest Xiaocha, even she knows how to compete for a place on such an occasion.Her sorrow was originally very sincere, but because of the addition of that element, it seemed artificial.And you, Lu Ai, you are very measured, very reserved and noble, everyone says you are decent, but how can grief be properly spoken?So you just don't have much grief, and you are afraid of being discovered, so you pretend to restrain your grief.Hang Tianzui shifted his eyes to his mother, and said in his heart: I already know that you are the most distraught, but you still have the ability to cover up the truth, this must be done, I knew from a very young age that your relationship is very important. Same as usual.I just pretended not to know.You are still pretending that we don't know about this, you are holding on, you are lying, but you don't know, when you are lying, others are also lying...

But the master craftsman has already nailed the fifth right shoulder: "The new nails are on the shoulders. The shoulders will be prosperous and rich for thousands of years. The fish, meat, chicken, ducks and ducks are always on the plate, and the silk and satin can't be used up..." The sixth nail in the middle of the waist was also nailed down: "The new nail is knocked in the middle of the waist. The Antarctic fairy will live a long life, and he will be like a queen mother offering peaches, and his descendants will eat the number one cake." People began to be excited by the superb skills of the master craftsman, saying: "If the coffin nails are knocked into folds, you can eat with your fists; "It turns out that the most taboo thing in coffin-building is to knock the iron nails and distort them, saying that it is a "faulty head", and the funeral home and the coffin maker often have quarrels.

The seventh nail on the left shoulder did not live up to the expectations - seven new nails knocked to the head, men and women juniors will build buildings, plant golden flowers on the pavilions, and all generations will be successful...·,· Hang Tianzui stood behind the praising crowd, out of the reach of candlelight.Only now did he begin to shed tears for the unconscious Uncle Cha Qing lying in the coffin. Seven coffin nails can bring people happiness and comfort. What is a human being!What am I! The ancestral tomb of the Hang family was originally a tea garden in Jilong Mountain in Shuangfeng Village.On the outer edge of the tea garden, there are large expanses of green and green bamboos. The late autumn sunlight passes through them, and they seem to be stained with autumn dew. They are green and mottled, and they are reflected on the new earthen graves.

There are birds chirping.Looking closely, the tea canopy is blooming with white flowers, moving slightly, and the bird is in the heart of the tea canopy.Hang Tianzui took a look at the new tomb, his eyes dazzled, and he thought: This is a big tea canopy, and the tea is probably the bird in the heart of the tea. The bird seemed to have never sang for most of its life, until it was hidden in the heart of the tea canopy, and then it began to cry and bleed.Hang Tianzui covered his chest, he suddenly felt Uncle Cha Qing's slender and sharp fingers reaching out to him under the loess.He thought of those dreams many years ago, the figure in the dream, blood oozing.He trembled with fright—then, many years ago, this person's death had been doomed in this way!Then, a white light flashed in his mind, and he jumped up, terrified by his almost obscene thoughts. There was a bright white and transparent thatch swaying on the grave in front of him, and his heart also shook.

He asked, why did his father tell Uncle Cha Qing to be buried in the Hang family's ancestral grave before his death? He looked at the bull's eye and thought for a while, then said: "Hi, boss, don't let Cha Qing die outside for fear of being alone." Hang Tianzui sighed, stood up, added a few handfuls of soil to the new grave, and then turned his head.He didn't want to tell anyone what terrible thought he had just now.He actually thought that he was Cha Qing's son, but the nominal father already knew everything. The reason why he wanted Cha Qing to be buried in the Hang family's ancestral grave was to make Cha Qing the owner of the Wangyou Tea House of the Hang family for generations. Fame is to die for.

Zhao Zhike was late.His white horse was dripping with sweat, and his own hair was messed up by the wind and sweat.He looked more like a lion. He didn't even kneel and kowtow in front of Uncle Cha Qing's grave.He bowed deeply, and was silent for a while in front of Xintu, it seemed that he really wanted to pass the time of silence quickly.He did have a lot to say to Hang Tianzui.Hang Tianzui held a branch of camellia in his hand, shook it back and forth, and said, "You don't need to explain, I know you're really busy, otherwise you wouldn't stop coming. Let me sit quietly in front of the grave for a while. I It's buzzing in my ears all day long. Let me be quiet for a while..." But Zhao Jike didn't let him be quiet.With straps on his feet and a horsewhip in his hand, he swung back and forth in front of Hang Tianzui, and kept saying, "I'm really too busy, too busy. You know that Tang Shouqian served as the Zhejiang Army The government has supervised it. Also, Ge Fucheng became the Minister of Political Affairs, Chen Handi, do you know? Let him be the Minister of Civil Affairs, but he was wrong, and Wang Manfeng pushed him up. Zhuang Liangfu is the same, and he was wrong to be the Minister of Finance. Gao Zibai is cheap. Are you listening? You need to know this. I know you are too busy these days with funerals. You have been in the mountains for several days, and you have been in the world for thousands of years. Tang Erhe has become the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Fu Xiuling has become the Minister of Communications. And , Shen Junru became the magistrate of Hangzhou. What's wrong with you, why do you lower your head? You have to mourn, the dead are dead, and the living have to continue to struggle—" "——Don't walk around like that, okay? Your appearance reminds me of a Western watch, you give me a headache. . . . Well, if you like to walk back and forth like that, go back and forth like that, Cha Qing is afraid It will bother you, he has always admired you in his heart, so he didn't say it out. What am I, in his eyes... I'm really nothing....What did you say just now. Whoever became this official, Who became that official, why didn't you mention my brother-in-law, he really wants to be an official." Zhao Jike hung down the whip in his hand, sat beside the tea canopy opposite Hang Tianzui, and said, "I know you're not feeling well. I'm not something to mention those personnel matters in front of you. The Shenlu Village you just mentioned Is it? Gone. I went to Shanghai to seek a job, and Chen Qimei is in Shanghai. Haha, they all have backers. Only me, Mr. Zhao, is a lone ranger." Hang Tianzui looked up at his old friend and said, "Are you not convinced?" "Let's not talk about these things. Mr. Zhongshan made an oath in front of him before, and he retired after his success. It's just that he has not yet achieved his success. I am going to conquer Nanjing with Zhu Rui and Lu Gongwang's Aid Ningzhe Army Detachment." After hearing this, Hang Tianzui understood, Zhao Jike hurried over, and was about to leave again. "Tianzui, I'm leaving this time, and I don't intend to ask you to go with me. It's already a big embarrassment for you to be able to travel together like this. Besides, your Wangyou Tea House used to rely on Chaqingboli It's up to you now, so you can do it yourself." Hang Tianzui hugged his knees, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Would you like to say goodbye to Lu Ai?" Zhao Jike's black and red forehead lit up, and he waved his hands and said, "Let's go, look at Uncle Cha Qing, he is a hero in life, and a hero in death, so there is no such thing as learning." The wind tightened all of a sudden, and the dead bamboo and fallen leaves of Jilong Mountain were dimmed. The white thatch lay down in large pieces. Without sunlight, they looked stiff and white, like the color of wearing sackcloth and filial piety.An unknown bird suddenly landed on the root of an old tea tree opposite Tianzui.It staggered, but didn't fall, so it looked around in a panic, and bumped into the stiff person across the way, stunned.Each of them looked at each other with four eyes, impenetrable to each other.After a while, the bird screamed and rushed straight into the bamboo forest, making the bamboo leaves rattle.Hang Tianzui turned over, knelt down beside the new grave, stretched out his hands, his upper body stuck to the grave, half of his face was attached to the loess, his whole body trembled with tension. "You can't die, sender," he said. The light on the guest's forehead disappeared, his heart tightened and relaxed, and he patted Tianzui's shoulder: "You are a person, you can afford it, but you can't let it go. Idiot, idiot, I am too tired. So what if I live, die So what, life and death are not enough for a man, let alone things other than life and death." Hang Tianzui still stretched out his hands, embracing the pile of new graves, he trembled, and he began to stutter again: "Life, life-... How can it not be, not a pity? Death is not, no, not scary Friendship... How can love be enough... Make people dream... Suo? Cha Qing is afraid of why, why should he die? For whom should he die? Where is the revolution you are talking about? This man died because of the revolution, and no one from the revolution, the revolution, came to the funeral. You are late. Why? For, for those people who were divided into officials and knights... What does he, he, them, and us have to do with each other? I can't figure it out. People, people, people are all dead, just lying down, and you still tell me these bold words...pretending to be a hero....Go to Nanjing to build and make contributions...If you die, die, I can't forgive you..." He finally howled and burst into tears, scratching his hands until there was yellow mud.Let Zhao Zhike see it, and he was angry, sad, and helpless. Mrs. Hang Lin Ouchu was not overwhelmed by such an extremely secret pain.Her soul was inflamed and swollen all over at the moment, but she still seemed to have a clear mind. She sat on the grand master's chair in front of the Eight Immortals table in the living room, not saying a word. If Wu Sheng suddenly realized that the star of his destiny had risen when facing Wu Chaqing's closed old eyes, then when he looked at Lin Ouchu's hateful eyes again, he could almost hear himself There was a rushing sound of blood rushing through his body.He felt the passion of a challenge like never before. He wasn't worried at all about how Lin Ouchu questioned him.The legend about Wu Chaqing's recognition of his adopted son in the city wall has already been added to the teahouse and spread to the whole city.So, when Lin Ouchu said while drinking the ginseng soup: "Wu Sheng, you lied to Wangyou Tea House, aren't you a little too crazy?" Wu Sheng said, "What are you crazy about? Could it be that Wangyou Tea House is clean and there is nothing shameful about it?" When Wu Sheng said this, he was very thoughtful.Sure enough, Lin Ouchu's expression changed, he stood up holding the bowl in a daze for a long time, pointed at Wu Sheng with the spoon, and stuttered: "You, you, what are you talking about?" "Don't pretend to be serious. Who in Hangzhou doesn't know the foundation of Wangyou Tea House?" In fact, he didn't know what was behind Lin Ouchu, although he also vaguely heard that Tianzui looked more and more like Chaqing when he was young, but he didn't want to believe it at all.He just wanted to scare the Hang family and tell them not to use him as a servant in the future.Unexpectedly, Lin Ouchu stood there, staring at Wu Sheng incredulously, his lips trembling. "What did you say?" "What did I say! I didn't say anything, I didn't hear it." "What did you hear, tell me!" Lin Ouchu's face was ashen, and he slapped his palm on the mahogany table hard, and the ginseng soup bowl fell to the ground and shattered. Wu Sheng was startled, but he controlled his appearance very well.He knelt down and picked up the broken porcelain bowls, and put them on the table lightly.His appearance was the same as that of the waiter, but his tone was completely different. "Mrs. Hang, don't get angry. You will never do anything wrong in your life, and you will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Even if I hear about your shameful things, I will not spread them to the public. I am in charge of the tea shop, and it was Uncle Cha Qing who told me on his deathbed. , don’t change your mind. Sooner or later, I will leave Wangyou Tea Shop without you rushing, but not at this moment. At this moment, I need the Tea Shop, and the Tea Shop needs me.” After all, he walked away lightly. Xiao Cha Zeng Li Zeng understood, but she didn't understand why her mother-in-law suddenly became so angry. When she called her, her tone changed. "Say it yourself, when did you meet Wu Sheng?" "...Seven or eight years old." Xiaocha frowned and thought for a while. "I heard that when you were working in the tea shop, he took a fancy to you. Is that the case?" "..." Xiaocha was a little surprised, and raised her head, not understanding how her mother-in-law would ask such a question. "What nonsense did you say to him?" "No wow..." Xiaocha said aggrievedly, "I didn't even talk to him..." "Don't say anything, why do you act like a husband and wife when you cry and mourn. Wu Sheng pretended to be a godson, don't you want to curry favor with a godson-in-law, you shameless thing that ruined the Hang family's style!" Xiaocha was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and cried: "Mom, what did you say? Mom, mom, what did I say, I really don't know what I said..." Lin Ouchu was angry, scared and suspicious by Wu Sheng just now, and his mind was dizzy. The whole Wangyou Tea House could only vent their anger with small tea: "You know what you said yourself, you must remember that you and Wu Sheng If you mix these names together, you will die on him... Chaqing, Chaqing, you are not going to die on this villain! He wants to eat our Hang family alive... You Go! You go back to your Wushanyuan cave. I don't want to see you, this evil, you go—" Lin Ouchu yelled hysterically.Xiaocha was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and her eyes went straight, she was at a loss.She thought, could it be that her mother-in-law has gone crazy due to grief? "If you don't go, what are you doing here!" Xiaocha cried again, and said: "Mom, Mom, I am also from the Hang family, and I also gave birth to children for the Hang family..." It’s okay not to say this, but once she said it, it seemed that Lin Ouchu’s tendon had been ignited, and she yelled again: "What are you talking about, who are you from the Hang family? I am the Hang family, and the Ming media is getting married They came here! Tea leaves were pressed under the box. I just planted seeds for the Hang family and continued the incense! How would the Hang family be where it is today without me? Just grab anyone in Hangzhou and ask, without me, Lin Ouchu, how would there be? Today at Wangyou Tea House!" Xiaocha really didn't understand what the mother-in-law meant by trying so hard to confess her love.It sounds more like washing something.She had never heard of Uncle Cha Qing and her mother-in-law directly.But there are people who say Tianzui, or even Jiahe, like Cha Qingbo.She thought, just say it, and I didn't say it, why only take it out on me?Could it be that the big one picked my right and wrong in front of my mother-in-law?She whimpered, stood up and walked out.She thought, isn't she just telling me to go?I'll go then.Rather than just accepting anger here, it is better to go back to the Wushanyuan Cave Gate and live a quiet life with an unjustified name. Now it was Jiacao who was crying and crying, she didn't want to go, she hugged Jiahe's neck and wanted to stay, her twin brother Jiaqiao was so angry that she rolled her slender eyes and squeezed her small fists to beat Jiacao's buttocks. Swearing: "Go back! Go back! Go back!" When Jiaping and Ye Zi saw that Jiaqiao beat his sister, they became angry.At this time, Ye Zi had already learned Chinese well, and she said, "Jia Qiao, how can you beat my sister! My sister is so young!" Jiaqiao stomped on her feet, spat out the leaves, and cursed, "Dongyang guy, get out! Get out!" Jiaping saw that the little boy knew how to beat and scold people even if he couldn't speak clearly, and saw that Ye Zi's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry, so he became angry: "Jiaqiao, come here." Knowing that he was going to be beaten, Jiaqiao ran all over the yard and screamed like an alarm: "Mom, second brother hit me!" Jiaping didn't think of beating Jiaqiao at first, he just wanted to catch him and teach him a lesson.As soon as Jiaqiao yelled and ran, he was so anxious that he chased him all over the yard like an eagle catching chickens.The child's mothers all lifted the curtains and came out, naturally to protect their children.Seeing that Jiaping was about to grab Jiaqiao, Xiaocha read it with her hand, and Jiaping backed away stutteringly, stumbling, and plunged into the arms of her mother Shen Luai.Jia Qiao yelled and cried, but Jia Ping was stunned, and the two mothers looked at each other with infinite resentment, throwing all the restraint and tolerance they had been doing for many days to the sky. After all, it was Shen Lv'ai who was domineering and took advantage of the reason. The war of the woman's gaze ended in Xiaocha's defeat.With tears in her eyes, Xiaocha squatted down whimpering, hugged Jia Qiao tightly, and said softly, "Qiao Er, tell Mom, where does it hurt, Mom will rub it for you." Hang Tianzui didn't know that the family was in such a mess.Hang Tianzui wandered around the street in a daze. The houses along the street had various colorful flags hanging on the east and west sides of the upper floors, and various slogans were pasted among the shops along the street. And the world is for the public... There are all kinds of slogans.Nine of the men walking all over the street had their hair cut and scattered over their shoulders, making them look like men or women. Besides, Hang Tianzui really couldn't see what the revolution had brought.There is an average of eight out of ten The "Wang Fan'er" in Hefang Street is still full of people, and the door panels are still lined up.The bench next to it is still shorter with its inward legs and slightly taller with its outward legs; there are still two big pots in the store, the rice in one pot is still piled up in a tower shape, and the hodgepodge in the other pot is still pig’s offal. Heads and feet of chickens and ducks, old roots of bamboo shoots, bones removed, served with green vegetables, tofu, radishes, oil residues as usual-...; Hang Tianzui saw an acquaintance biting off the top of the bowl of rice with his mouth, he left In the past, I patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm still eating the door plank!" When Wu Sheng turned his head, he saw the young master of the owner's family. He was stunned for a moment, and said, "Pitching a car to sell oats, and the peddler is away for a year. If you don't eat door boards, what do you eat?" Hang Tianzui pointed to the upstairs, and said, "Come on, I'll treat you to Mulang (big fish head) casserole tofu." The balcony seat is a man in clothes, with his hair cut off, but his long gown is not cut, he is still a long gown gang.There are also a few soldiers from the new army, in gray clothes and gray trousers, with a belt in their waist, their hair squeezed out from under the big cap, and it is draped over their shoulders in a mess, and they are sinking in five drinks and six games.The waiter looked at them and laughed apologetically. This was the only revolutionary scene Tian Zui could see. Master Hang is a diner, and the dishes he ordered are all famous dishes for Wang Faner, such as meat and vegetables with skin, spring bamboo shoots, fresh fried eel slices, fried shrimp, shrimp and crab.Shrimp and crabs are crabs that are not on the market, and the crab meat picked in the peak season is fried into pieces with oil. The price is expensive, and the color and fragrance are no less than fresh products.There are also lion's head, milk crucian carp soup, Hongjiong round vegetables (turtle), honey sauce fire party, a large table of famous dishes unique in Qiantang, full of beautiful things in eyes, but only one bunt for a long gown.Everyone in the building was startled, wondering what new things would come out of the famous Mr. Wangyou in Hangzhou. Wu Sheng was frightened and salivating, he didn't know what Hang Tianzui was up to, so he might as well start eating.Tianzui asked for old wine, but Wu Sheng refused to drink it, saying that he was afraid that his tongue would be damaged and he would not be able to taste tea, so he only ordered some light vegetables to eat, so Tianzui ate alone and drank the wine. Tian Zui gradually became drunk and lost his frame, Wu Sheng was so bold that he said, "Master, why did you invite me?" Hang Tianzui laughed: "Aren't you afraid of becoming a son after becoming Chaqing? Congratulations. What does Cha Tang Bo have to do with my family! From now on, you can just let go and be the owner of your tea shop." Wu Sheng didn't know what Hang Tianzui meant by these words, and he wanted to be sarcastic, so he said through his drunkenness: "No matter how good a son is, he is not as good as a son. If I were Uncle Chaqing's son, I would really be able to live in the tea pile in Hangzhou." There were a few big somersaults." "Oh, I wanted to do a somersault before I got on stage, but I want to wash my ears with this old Shaoxing wine and listen to your opinion." "When doing business, you need to be careful and hard-hearted. You should be loose, but you should be tight. I think Chaqing is almost perfect after eating this bowl of tea rice, but there are still many things that are missing. You see there are so many tea shops in Hangzhou, why should they sell tea to you? Why should they come to buy your tea? They are nothing more than a brand. It is not enough to have a stable brand , it must be fresh and bold. For example, the rules of the tea shop, one bag for each sample tea, why can't we grab a handful of three bags? People's water commission is 23%, why don't we just take 100% One? It seems that after a small loss, the big bargains came in....Moreover, the tea shop only cares about collecting and selling, and it is not enough. If you want to harvest good tea, you have to grow good tea. Wangyou The hundreds of acres of tea fields in the Longjing Mountains of the tea farm should not be left alone in the winter, and someone must be dedicated to deal with them..." Wu Sheng became excited when he spoke, he opened and closed his mouth, and the saliva sprayed on Tianzui's face.Tianzui was already drunk, with a few Wu Shengs in his eyes, feeling in his heart: Still... wine is better than... tea... Look at this Wu Sheng... Uncle Cha Qing... more than ten days , His... Abacus beads... He laughed when he thought about it. Wu Sheng was stunned when he saw him laughing.Hang Tianzui shook his hands quickly, and said, "I'm not laughing at you, I'm not laughing at you...I'm laughing at the revolution, why did the revolution last for a long time, Uncle Cha Qing's life was removed, but it's as if... ...You still tell me about water maids, grab one..., "Then... what do you think revolution is like?" Wu Sheng was a little confused, and he didn't think much about this issue. "I thought... the world is one family, you and I don't know each other, people come to my tea house to pick up tea and don't ask for Yinyang, and I come here to eat with Wang Faner, and I don't need to pay... It's absurd! Absurd! Absurd!" He shook his head like this, and suddenly called out, tears filled his eyes, all of a sudden, tears flowed all over his face.Wu Sheng really has never experienced such a person who cries and laughs for a while, and doesn't know what the other party is thinking, holding up his chopsticks in a daze.Tianzui said: "Thinking of...Uncle Chaqing, I feel really sad to death. Uncle Chaqing...how much stuff is in his belly...I can't tell...it doesn't matter if I tell you....I know Chaqing Uncle believes in you... When I was a child, I saw Cha Qing sitting in the rain with blood on his back..." "when?" "In the night...in the dream..." Wu Sheng couldn't tell whether he felt sympathy or contempt for this useless young master of the Hang family?He was very confused, and for a while he thought that he should take advantage of the situation and take the opportunity to destroy his family; Poison is not a husband, I will drive him into a desperate situation step by step from now on, who told him to take the little tea from me?After a while, I thought again, forget it, why should I take this woman so seriously, if I want to have a great reputation in the future, I can't do without Wangyou Tea House.Suddenly there was a thunderbolt in front of his eyes: Could it be that Tian Zui is really Uncle Cha Qing's own son? ...Thinking so chaotically, my mind suddenly lit up, I stood up, and said, "Boss, we don't drink anymore, I'll take you to a place, so you don't have to worry about it!" After leaving Wang Fan'er, there was an opium den not far from the Drum Tower, and Hang Tianzui smoked opium for the first time in his life.Wu Sheng, the new owner of Wangyou Tea Shop, opened the lid of the box himself, and started to smoke on the crystal "Taigu Lantern" with a cigarette stick.He held something like a toothpick in his right hand, took a small anvil in his left hand, picked up the smoke paste, put a large yellow, loose and tall smoke bubble on the fire, and stared in amazement at the hand of Hang Tianzui who was watching. "Haven't seen it?" Wu Sheng asked his boss. , while beating, while rolling, it was finished in a moment and then put on the Doumen, and handed over to the open-eyed "I've seen it, I didn't expect you to come here." "I won't, and I don't have the money. I'm serving you, Master Hang." Wu Sheng smiled. When the courtyard of Wangyoulou Mansion was crying and making noise, Hang Tianzui, who was full of wine and cigarettes, came back full of vigor.Seeing the two armies facing each other in full battle, they knew there was another dispute.Seeing the mother and son crying together, and the other pair glaring at Vajra, they thought they were wronged.He yelled, "Joe, who hit you?" "Second brother hit me—" Jiaqiao complained.Hang Tianzui went up and gave Jiaping a slap without saying a word, and beat Jiaping to the ground again, Ye Zi immediately covered his face and cried. For such a strong person, Shen Luai couldn't believe her eyes when she saw that Tian Zui's slap hit her own flesh and blood. "You... how dare you hit someone!" "Fight!" Hang Tianzui yelled, "From now on, if I don't like it, I'll hit it, and I'll do it to my heart's content!" Only then did Jiaping come back to his senses, and shouted: "I didn't hit Qiaoer, it was Qiaoer who hit Jiacao, if you don't believe me, you can ask elder brother!" Everyone's eyes were fixed on Jiahe.Jiahe looked at the two younger brothers, then looked at Xiaocha, and said, "The third brother hit my sister, and the second brother was about to teach him a lesson, but my aunt pushed the second brother away." Ye Zi nodded desperately: "That's right, that's right." Hang Tianzui was furious, and walked to Xiaocha's side, scaring Jiaqiao into her mother's arms, Hang Tianzui slapped Xiaocha and said, "You are such a good son!" This palm boosted the tea.Then, she picked up Jiaqiao and rushed into the ancient well on the right side of the courtyard gate, so frightened that Jiahe put down her sister and went to save Auntie, and even Luai and Jiaping hurried over to drink some tea. Xiaocha was so angry that she also recited it, and only said one sentence over and over again: "You... hit me too, hit me..." Jiaping pulled and said, "Auntie, Dad hit me too! Dad hit me too! Let's have a fight, okay?" Lu Ai said: "Xiaocha, go back, don't make trouble, in front of children, bear with it as long as you can." Who knows that once Xiaocha goes all out, he won't be able to get it back.And crying and rushing into the well, still shouting: "I hate you! Why do you want to bully people! I hate you!" "I know you hate me. I want to hate you too, but I don't want to hate you anymore. Let me tell you one thing, when you are three years old and you are old, you have to take Jiaqiao with you. He is from the Hang family! " "I don't want you to take care of the children I gave birth to. Thank God if you take care of your own! Anyway, no matter how small the Hang family is, there will be no shortage of us! Jiaqiao and I will die before your eyes." After finishing speaking, she continued to rush into the well, but the old lady came and yelled: "Don't stop her, live or die as she pleases!" Everyone was stunned, and let go of their hands, and Xiaocha was also suppressed, and stopped rushing to the well platform.When everyone looked at Mrs. Hang together, they couldn't believe how the proprietress could age so fast! The courtyard was completely silent at this time, Hang Tianzui looked at the big family members, old and young, and suddenly thought that there was a time when this place was full of flowers and plants.He looked at the little tea with disheveled hair and one shoe missing. He couldn't believe it. This was the woman he had devoted all his enthusiasm to and made him a real man? He strongly felt a tease of fate.But he didn't have anything to say about this woman, so he pointed at Lu Ai's nose angrily and shouted: "Hide the things you want to hide carefully, don't be distracted to meddle in other people's affairs, Totally boring!" Shen Luai's eyes widened, and it was like a thunderbolt hit her ears.She suddenly understood why this weak man would throw a basin and beat a bowl, and couldn't get rid of the anger in his heart.It turned out that he suspected that she had touched Zhao Jike's Mansheng Pot.She blushed, and sneered, "Hang Tianzui, you miss him so much, why didn't you go with him? Beating us women and children is nothing!" Hang Tianzui jumped up and shouted: "You don't have to worry about where I'm going! I'll take you to prepare a car for me. I'm going to Wushanyuan Cave Gate." He stomped his feet again and yelled at Xiaocha: "Hurry up and pack up my things and leave." At midnight, Tianzui quietly woke up.In the evening, he wrote three letters, one to Lvai, one to Xiaocha, and one to his mother.This time he accepted the lesson from ten years ago, he didn't even disclose anyone, he didn't even inform Zhao Jike himself, he was going to give him an unexpected surprise. Zhao Jike's home is in Pishi Lane, not too far from Wushan Yuandongmen.Tianzui only stuffed a few pieces of silver in his pocket, changed into shorts and shorts, and put on some leggings.When he was doing these things, his heart was excited and calm, and he also had the pleasure of walking away.It's time to take this step!He said to himself, no matter whether this revolution brings new changes or not, at least it breaks the old days of invariance.Since then, there are no tea houses and tea shops on his shoulders, and he can really "forget about his worries".Even if he was killed by a single bullet like Uncle Cha Qing, what's the problem?Die or die!He suddenly felt that what the guest said was the great truth—so what about my life?So what about death?A man doesn't care about life and death, let alone things other than life and death—he beat his chest hard twice, thinking that he used to be a playboy who was greedy for life and afraid of death. The outside world is still dark and dark. There is no moon, no stars, and no night travelers tonight.Numerous high walls and narrow alleys were divided into guards, waiting in full force, trying to scare the emaciated tea merchant, who was determined to join the revolution, back to his shop.But he is not afraid, he has figured it out and seen it through - as long as I leave, it will be over.They'd be better off without me.As for children—what are children?Didn’t Kong Rong say that the mother is a bottle, and the children are just the things poured out of the bottle... His heart was steaming with steam, and the foam of hope was churning, and he exhaled from his chest again, his face that was attacked by the cold was red with nitrogen.His entire face was steaming hot.He had never heard his walking voice be so powerful, firm and heroic.The slate was shaken by his footsteps, making a tinkling sound.When walking out of Yangbatou, a blind musician played the erhu while walking, and then the sound of the stone slab came to him.Farewell, the endless days of coming and going like an erhu.He took out all the silver coins and put them in the back pocket of this sad and lonely blind man.In an instant, he almost fell into the old sadness again, but he gritted his teeth and held on.He swaggered forward and continued to move forward, running in the opposite direction from the musicians. At the end of the song, no one was seen, and there were many green peaks on the river.When approaching the guest's house, his high spirits almost rushed out of the door with his heart wrapped around him.At this moment, the door of the Zhao family opened, and he instinctively hid aside. He saw the two people he thought he was very familiar with. He heard them say goodbye. "Go back, don't be angry anymore. It's useless to be angry. For you, this is hard to change...unless you are Qiu Jin." "Why can't I be Qiu Jin? I went with you to Nanjing this time, so I will become Qiu Jin..." Hang Tianzui heard the man laugh, and said in a kissy tone that he had never heard before: "I don't even think about how stupid I am when I say it. Now Cha Qingbo is gone, and Tianzui is not good at managing money." , your mother-in-law is also getting old, and Wangyou Tea House wants to see you, even if you want to be Qiu Dao." The woman covered her whole body with university, the silver clip on her head was shining, Hang Tianzui thought of her equally shining teeth. "Where is it really like what you said? It's not because I'm a drunk woman! You know, I'm...his...woman..." The woman's crying was immediately silenced by one hand, and Hang Tianzui's eyes became dizzy. He could only imagine what they were like now.可是他不能想,一想他就全身摇晃,瘫软下去。 "好了好了,今天夜里你也哭得够多。人家听到还当什么事情。明日一早我就随军去南京——" "我只求你把我顺便送到上海。我就自己去找我大哥,再也不要你管!" "不行不行!我一个当兵的,出生入死,哪里好婆婆妈妈顾及你们这些女人的事情。不瞒你说,我在日本也有过女人,还有了一个儿子。回国时她哭哭泣泣要跟着来,被我挡了,花了一笔钱安置了他们,又何况你,朋友的妻——" 接着是清脆的"哪啪"两声,杭天醉惊得一下子捂住自己的脸——这个无法无天的女人,她竟敢挥人家的耳光!而且是赵寄客的耳光!她疯了!杭天醉把自己贴到墙角落里,眼睁睁看着这个盛气凌人的女人从他身边走过。他还来不及想赵寄客会怎么办,他就听见他从马厩中拉出了马的声音。借着微弱的天光,他能看见那身披黑大塑的女人高挑挑的身材,急匆匆向小巷深处走去,像是赌气,要和黑暗同归于尽。God!原来她是这样的!原来她是这样的!又孤独又傲慢,碰不得说不得!跟天神似的不可侵犯!又狂得像个女皇!Is this okay?她竟敢——僻啪!杭天醉眼前一阵风过,是赵寄客的白马!他像山中的寨主来城里抢劫一样,飞身向前,一只手紧握经绳,侧过身子,另一只手顺手一捞,那穿黑大翠的女人,就被他捞到了马背上。他们两个,就骑在同一匹马上。马在原地来回转着圈子,不耐烦地打着喷嚏,它不明白他的主人在它的身上干什么!杭天醉远远地看着他们,他也不明白他们这样紧紧抱在一起是干什么?甚至于那两个被激情击中的人,他们自己也不知道他们是在干什么。马儿终于被松开了缓绳,一下子就撒开了蹄子,在这个弥黑的无人知晓的城市里,午夜狂奔起来。杭天醉一阵眼花,梦中的背影向他的心袭来。他的眼前便是一片的背影,晃得他头昏目眩,然后再一眨眼,便听马蹄声碎,风驰而去。杭天醉就什么也看不见了…… 杭天醉不晓得那个后半夜他是怎么过去的。他真的记不起来了,只觉得自己腿肚子发酸,迈不动步子,想必是走了许多的路,耳朵里来来回回地尽是那个盲人拉的二胡曲子。撮着告诉他,一大早小茶哭天抹地送了那三封别书来,他就拖着车子满城地跑,到火车站去看待令出发的赴宁军队,根本没有他的影子。最后倒是在旗营一个瞎子拉二胡的墙根下问到他了。听那瞎子说,他跟了他半夜了,一句话也不说,就是跟着瞎子走,瞎子坐下他也坐下,瞎子跑他也跑,着实把那瞎子吓坏了。 吓坏的不止那瞎子一个。林藕初躺在床上,听说儿子回来了,挣扎着坐起,把下人们全打发了,一把握住儿子的手,老泪流了下来,嘴就凑到了儿子的耳根: "儿啊,你姓吴……" 儿于一点反应也没有。杭夫人看了看儿子,又说:"晓得吗,你不能离开家,你姓吴……" 儿子站了起来,不耐烦地说:"姓吴就姓吴,这有什么稀奇?猜猜也猜出来了……" 当娘的吓坏了,叫了起来:"不,你姓杭,姓杭!姓杭!" 儿子叹了口气,把娘扶回了被窝,说:"晓得了晓得了,我姓杭!姓杭!放心了吧。" 杭天醉走进卧房时,沈绿爱正在揩那只曼生壶。白天的女人,没有披黑大资,穿件绿呢小袄,大艳大俗的样子,没有昨夜的神秘高贵了。天醉几乎不敢相信这是同一个女人——会不会搞错?两人目光一碰,几乎都读出了对方眼里的惊问:你怎么还没走啊! 接着,杭天醉就看到了曼生壶上的那行字;内清明,外直方,吾与尔偕藏! 他哈哈哈地大笑起来,边笑边指着那壶说:"我笑……我笑……我笑这曼生壶呢!我笑这吾与尔偕藏呢!" 他笑得止不住,咕通跌坐在美人榻上,上气不接下气,满眼泪花,活像一根捞不起的面条,一介扶不正的阿斗! 汽笛响了,汽笛声仔细听来,真是撕心裂肺,声嘶力竭。他一个弹跳扑向门口,呆在门槛上。想了想又回来,给自己在曼生壶里倒了茶,又躺到美人榻上,拿狗皮褥子盖了腿脚,静静地听了一会。火车轮子的声音很重,轰隆轰隆,震得玻璃窗轧轧响,甚至震得那些在光影中飞舞的尘埃也上下飞速地飘动,很久以后,一切才平静下来。杭天醉抱着曼生壶,对那个沉默高傲的女人,慢条斯理地说:"他走了……"
