Chapter 532
According to the rules, if the ferry carries guests, he cannot stop in the middle. However, Grandpa Zhang is a good man, and now the rain is heavy, two women stand pitifully on the shore, and he cannot sit idly by any means.
"Official Yi, because the wind blows the fire, it's not too much, so why don't you take him there?" Grandpa Zhang still asked Xu Xuan for a discussion first, but unexpectedly he didn't hear a reply.
Grandpa Zhang turned around and saw Xu Xuanfa's straight eyes. Grandpa Zhang smiled knowingly, swayed his sloppy slapped gently, and the black-sailed boat sailed lightly to the shore.
As soon as he got closer, Xu Xuan realized that the other party was not alone, and there was a pretty maid in green clothes standing on the side. Xu Xuan glared for a long time and actually regarded her as nothing. The two women got off the boat with light steps, and Xu Xuan hurriedly made way for the other party to get out of the position.
The space of this black-sailed boat is small, and if you sit opposite each other, both sides will inevitably touch their legs and feet. The Song Dynasty's etiquette and law are quite strict, and there must be physical contact between strange men and women. Although the strictness of this is not as unreasonable as the scholars and officials among the people, Xu Xuan cannot be without self-knowledge.
The moment she saw this woman, Xu Xuan seemed to be struck by lightning. There was a saying in the book Xiang Ri read that "people are better than flowers". Today, it seems that it is not worth laughing at. It is so charming.
Xu Xuan's sister Xu Jiaorong was also a famous beauty back then. Otherwise, she would not have married a petty official with a bottle of oil. However, Xu Jiaorong compared with this woman in white, but she was like a firefly and a bright moon, which was not of the same level as the same level as the firefly.
People must have self-knowledge!
Xu Xuan knew that it was impossible to marry such a woman with his own conditions, so he met and fought as if he had no choice. He smiled slightly and wanted to get up and get out of the black-sailed boat.
Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly stood up and saluted, said with great blessings, and said, "Young Master, please!"
Xu Xuan was stunned and hurriedly replied to the gift. Since he had no meaningless fantasies, he naturally would not stop being rude. Therefore, Xu Xuan's return to the gift was in a regular manner and said, "How can Xu Xuan dare to be the name of a young master? Just call me Chinese!"
The woman smiled slightly, and her swaying postures were all in this smile, just like the Nine Heavens Fairy Linfan: "Have you taken out of this black-sailed boat to avoid suspicion?"
Although this was Xu Xuan's original intention, it was difficult to answer this question when someone asked him directly. In his speech, the woman said again: "Our master and servant were late, and we were lucky enough to take the boat after we thanked him. If we drove our benefactor out, it would be wrong for our master and servant. If our father and brother are still alive, we must scold me!" At the end of the speech, the woman was a little sad.
Xu Xuan was completely stunned and kept talking to Qianyan Shen. Didn’t this woman know that it was the first time the two met? Even so, Xu Xuan still had to continue the other party’s words and asked, “Don’t you dare to touch and ask the lady’s honor?”
It is said that on the street, I asked about the name of a lady in the deep boudoir and was undoubtedly a disciple of the disciple. At this time, the maid next to me should pinch her waist and point her nose at Xu Xuan's nose to scold her.
But now it is no wonder that Xu Xuan is reckless. The young lady said, "The girl's original surname is Bai, and she is the sister of Bai Dianzhi, who died of her father and brother, and she was helpless in the capital. So she returned to her hometown to live in the entrance of Shuangchafang Lane, Jianqiao."
On this Qingming Festival, when hearing the other party’s sad past, Xu Xuan had to comfort him: “Miss Bai’s Day is mourning for change!”
"The little woman has lived in the capital for a long time and has no relatives and no reason in Lin'an Mansion. If Xu Guanren refuses to abandon her, she can sit in the humble house to express her gratitude!"
The other party had already stated clearly that there was no man at home, so how dare Xu Xuan come to the door suddenly? He could only say perfunctorily: "If you have free time, when you visit, I hope the lady will not blame Xu Xuan for being reckless!"
Miss Bai smiled and her sorrow disappeared, saying, "I dare not!"|
Gangnan Doraemon.
Grandpa Zhang has been ferrying on the bank of West Lake for decades, and I don’t know how many beauties with thorn hairpins and cloth skirts, but compared with Miss Bai, he suddenly became vulgar fans.
Such a special look, if there is an emperor, general, and minister, it is not a match for the civilians in the market! He sighed secretly. Even though Grandpa Zhang was not optimistic about Xu Xuan's future, he would not talk too much.
Everyone on the boat was thinking about their own thoughts, and suddenly became silent, only the sound of rowing was rippling on the West Lake.
"Official Xiao Yi, the Kinmen has arrived!"
The raindrops hit the steps made of bluestone and fell into eight petals. Xu Xuan was a little afraid of the heavy rain. He could wear this new clothes that he could only wear during the Chinese New Year.
Just as he was wandering, the woman in white suddenly said behind her, "Officiale Xu!" Her voice was a little shy and very pleasant. Xu Xuan was stunned, turned around and stared at her, showing a questioning look.
Miss Bai said, "When the little girl went out, she was too hasty and never brought money to her, so she could not pay the shipping fee. I wonder if she could borrow some money and pay it back later!"
Xu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "This matter is just a few copper coins, the girl can go by herself!"
Miss Bai said seriously: "My father and brother have never taught me to take advantage of others! The Han family is at the entrance of Shuangchafang Lane, Jianqiao, and Guanren Xu must come!"
Xu Xuan pondered secretly. Could it be that she could say this when she saw her perfunctory thoughts? Then she thought, it was impossible, how could anyone read her thoughts? Miss Bai said this to this point. If she didn't go to the Bai family, it would be rude!
Xu Xuan nodded and said, "Miss Bai sincerely invites each other, how dare Chinese Wen not obey!"
Miss Bai said happily: "The little girl is waiting for the official to be promoted!"
After the two said goodbye, the heavy rain still did not stop for a moment. "Fight!" After Xu Xuan paid the ship supplies from both sides, he put his sleeves on his head, stepped on the side of the ship and jumped forward, and landed on the ground. Suddenly, water splashed everywhere. Xu Xuan did not dare to delay and ran all the way, from Yongkin Gate to Sanqiao Street.
This journey used to take at least half an hour, but now it took less than half an hour to run to the door of Li Jiangshi's Sheng Pharmacy. The business was light when it rained. On the dark counter, the old supervisor Zhang was reconciling accounts with the young general, and the abacus was crackling. Seeing Xu Xuan entering the door in a mess, the young general could not help but tease, "Brother Hanwen asked for leave today, but did he go to West Lake to swim?"
Xu Xuan looked at his cock-drinking look and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I laugh at you when I see you! I'm going to Baoshu Pagoda Temple to burn incense. It's really a shame for the heavens!"
The young general looked like a square head and big ears, and was very rich. He was five or six years older than Xu Xuan. After making fun of it, he said with concern: "Now the cold air is very heavy. Isn't it too late for Chinese to put on my clothes and go home?"
Xu Xuan smiled gratefully and said, "I know all the good intentions of the young general, and I dare not remember them in my heart. However, my sister is worried, so it is better to borrow an umbrella to go home as soon as possible!"
The young general said that, not really wanted to borrow clothes. He immediately said, "Old Chen, get the best umbrella! Brother Yu Hanwen!"
Speaking of which, the neighbors near the military bridge called Xu Xuan "Brother Hanwen". He studied elementary school when he was young and wanted to take an official position by relying on the imperial examination. However, in the field of writing, the young general obviously had no talent. He was still a child after 20 years of age. In anger, he abandoned literature and studied medicine. Now he is very knowledgeable.
Soon, Old Chen strode to Xu Xuan and handed him a brand new umbrella, and instructed: "This umbrella was made by the honest Shu family of Qinghu Bazi Bridge. It has eighty-four bones and purple bamboo shanks. It is the first time you use it today. Be careful and don't break it!"
Xu Xuan took it carefully and said, "Uncle Chen, boy dare not!" Old Chen's wrinkled face showed a smile, nodded, and said no more!
After leaving the store, Xu Xuan walked quickly towards his home. It was still far from Heizhu Lane, and Xu Xuan had to take a shortcut and speed up his pace! Although there was an umbrella covering the rain, his whole body was almost wet. A cool breeze blew, which made Xu Xuan shudder and get goosebumps all over.
Turning around a corner, Xu Xuan was about to speed up his pace when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Hunting Xu!" The voice was as gentle as a willow whirling the wind, and it was incredible.
Only one person called Xu Xuan like this. Xu Xuan thought to himself: It would not be such a coincidence! Looking back, Miss Bai was standing under the eaves of the small tea shop at the entrance of Shengongjing Lane. Her white skirt formed a very sharp contrast with the dirty tea shop. Several idle guys in the tea shop stared at Miss Bai's exquisite and convex lines intently, which made Xu Xuan feel a little depressed.
Even though he repeatedly reminded himself not to think about it, Xu Xuan still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the eyes of these guys, as if something of his own had been played with!
He strode forward and asked, "Why is Miss Bai here?"
Miss Bai smiled slightly and said, "Go to Jianqiao Shuangchafang, it should be here!"
Xu Xuan then realized that if it weren't for the rain, he wouldn't have taken this path. Miss Bai should be the same as himself. He turned his eyes and asked, "Where is Xiaoqing?"
"Xiaoqing goes to get an umbrella, I'll wait here!"
When Xu Xuan heard this, he immediately blurted out and said, "What if we share an umbrella?" Xu Xuan could not tolerate the lewd smiles of those people, so he took the liberty to invite him.
Xu Xuan was ready to be rejected. After all, sharing an umbrella with a man has crossed the bottom line of a lady.
Unexpectedly, Miss Bai responded with a smile. "Okay!"
The short two words made Xu Xuan dizzy. What happened? He stared at the other person's eyes rudely, but could only see a sense of sincerity.
Xu Xuan's mind was blank. In the stunned eyes of the guys, he walked forward side by side with Miss Bai. He mechanically tilted the umbrella toward Miss Bai, regardless of his body being exposed to the rain. It seemed that he had completed his entire life in a short journey.
"Officer Xu!"
"ah!"
"There is Heizhu Lane on the left and the Shuangchafang on the right! Let's separate!"
At this time, Xu Xuan had just come back to his soul. He shook his head and said, "The road to cross the Junqiao is near. Please take this umbrella, I will take it myself!"
The umbrella was stuffed into Miss Bai's hand, and the moment his hands touched him made Xu Xuan's heart tremble, as if he was frightened, disappearing in a flash!
As soon as he crossed the military bridge, he met Ju Shan's old family member who came to pick him up. The two returned home together, and Xu Jiaorong complained. Xu Xuan listened mechanically without refuting, and his mind was full of Miss Bai's image. He snatched a meal without any taste, and then lay on the bed, thinking about it.
Outside the window was the sound of tinging rain, Xu Xuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. What does Miss Bai mean? Could it be that she really likes me? For a moment, countless legends in Xu Xuan's mind, such as the lady who likes a poor boy, helped him study hard until he made a big splash in the high school top scorer, and lived happily ever after. When he was a child, Xu Xuan's parents died and lacked discipline, so he read such stories about stories.
Then, Xu Xuan punched himself hard and said: Just because you have no size, no ten taels of silver, is it just because of your face?
Face? Xu Xuan touched his face and thought in confusion: Did she fall in love with my handsome face? Go to the death! If handsome is useful, are you still a bachelor at the age of 22?
