Chapter 61

Du Zhongxiao returned to Houya, changed into casual clothes, sat down at the table, and the female envoy brought tea.

After taking a sip, Du Zhongxiao said to Han Yueniang: "That Lu Saisai, has he settled down?"

Han Yueniang shook her head: "I asked Qu Wuniang to keep her for two days and then decide to stay. You have seen that person, and you look at him, but you are not a serious family. How can you stay at home? What a scandal happens? It will make people laugh at if it spreads."

Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment. He could see that Lu Saisai was a little charming and was not the same as Qu Wuniang, but he did not have as much thought as Han Yueniang. Although the two had been married for less than a year, Han Yueniang had changed from a girl to a young woman, and she was indeed different. She could see many problems that Du Zhongxiao had not thought of at first sight, and she didn't want this person to live in her own home.

Seeing that Han Yueniang's face looked a little bad, Du Zhongxiao thought about it and said, "I thought she was Qu Wuniang's old friend. Since she came to join her, she would have to have a place to settle down. If she didn't live in the Houya, she would have to find another way."

Han Yueniang said, "I don't care what you think, but there are two things. One is that you can't live in the Houya to avoid any scandals. The other is that you live in our Yongcheng County and are not allowed to engage in the fireworks business. Otherwise, if you spread it, where will your magistrate face besides! Everything else will be up to you."

Du Zhongxiao nodded and stopped talking. Fortunately, no matter how much Han Yueniang thought, she did not doubt herself. She didn't know whether she could trust herself or her confidence. She was far from her appearance and was much older. Han Yueniang probably looked down on her. But this is good. As long as Han Yueniang didn't doubt herself, it would be much more convenient to place Lu Saisei. But she was really not suitable to live in the Houya. Du Zhongxiao's entourage was very young and strong, and she had a few spare money in her hands. What might happen if she lived with a romantic woman.

In the room next to Qu Wuniang, Qu Wuniang took out more than a dozen copper coins and asked Xiaoqing to take Jingjing to the city to play, and talk to Lu Saisai himself.

Seeing that Lu Saisai was radiant after washing, he changed into Qu Wuniang's new clothes. He seemed to have changed his personal clothes. Qu Wuniang sighed: "My sister hasn't seen her for more than a year, but she looks younger and younger."

Lu Saisai gently twitched his hair and said with a little resentment: "How can I compare to my sister? You can find a good family by leaving Yangzhou. Alas, you are now appreciated by the county minister and you are a Jinshi. You will never have to worry about this life. You are no longer like me, and you still have to wander around."

Qu Wuniang smiled bitterly: "It's just a temporary place to settle down. Officials like to listen to Xiaoqing playing the piano, so they took us in. Who knows what will happen in the future? These officials who traveled to the public will take us when they change their term, and they don't know where they will go?"

Lu Saisai smiled "sneer", "Sister, no one of us can understand this kind of thing. After two or three years, Xiaoqing grew up and happened to be a concubine for the magistrate's husband. It was not for the rest of his life to be a food and clothing for his sister. Without these methods, his sister would be in vain for so many years."

Qu Wuniang sighed and didn't say anything. Judging from her current situation alone, Lu Saisai was right. If she was an outsider, she would think so. But after living together for the past few months, Qu Wuniang knew that it was not the case. Du Zhongxiao took in her two of hers to listen to Xiaoqing's songs from time to time. Although Han Yueniang was kind, she didn't seem to be a good person in this kind of thing.

After chatting about their experiences since they parted, Qu Wuniang asked, "Sister, what are you planning now?"

Lusai Track: "Although this is just a county town, it is located on the bank of the Bian River, which is extremely prosperous. Since you are here, why am I still running around? Of course, I have to live for a few days to see if I can find a way out. It is said that Bianjing is the most prosperous place in the world, but we are not familiar with the place and have no relatives there, so I am afraid that we will be bullied by others."

Qu Wuniang hesitated and said, "Sister, I have recently caught a thief, Ma Meng, and I don't know how many people I have involved. It's convenient for you to live here. With the care of the magistrate, you can always find a way out. Just listen to my advice and never do anything messy."

Lu Saisei covered his mouth and smiled: "With the care of the magistrate, what kind of mess can you do? I'm afraid that if I go out to sing a song, I will be gossiped about by others. What else can I do? Don't worry, I just want to make a legitimate business."

Qu Wuniang nodded, and she couldn't say anything.

Xiaoqing pulled Jingjing out of the city gate. The shops on both sides were angry and spent two cents to buy a few buns and ate them in their hands. After walking for a while, Xiaoqing pulled Jingjing to a big willow tree by the river and said to her: "I'll show you something fun."

After saying that, he mysteriously took out a firework and said, "I secretly hid this during the Chinese New Year, no one knows it. I'll wait for my former sisters to come and show you."

Jingjing looked at it again and saw that it was a paper-wrapped thing and asked, "What is it? It's not good-looking, and it doesn't taste good."

Xiaoqing couldn't help but smile: "This is not a sachet, how come it smells fragrant? This is called fireworks. It flies into the air at a glance, and it looks like a flower blooming in the air. I wonder how beautiful it is!"

After saying that, she put the fireworks on the ground, took out the fire stick and carefully slammed it, and put it on the lead. She played with fireworks and firecrackers for the first time by herself, and her hands were trembling with nervousness. It took her a while to light the lead.

Seeing the lead sizzling and smoking, Xiaoqing pulled Jingjing to the side, her little face turned red with nervousness: "It's about to fly! Don't blink, it's about to bloom in the air!"

Jingjing looked at the fireworks with black smoke curiously, holding Jingjing's hand tightly, both afraid and expectant.

Suddenly, with a "swoosh", the fireworks rose up and flew into the air with a "bang" sound, and a colorful flower bloomed.

"It looks good, it's so beautiful! Why did this thing fly into the air and bloom!" Jingjing looked so magically and stomped her feet happily.

Xiaoqing looked at the air but felt a little lost. After a while, she said, "Oh, it doesn't look good at all if it is released during the day!"

Jingjing said, "It looks good, it looks good! I have never seen such a beautiful thing!"

After hearing this, Xiaoqing felt better and better, and said to Jingjing, "Then, can you stay here and accompany me? I don't know how many fun things there are in my place. On weekdays, you don't have to go to the restaurant, sometimes just play a few songs for the officials. It's not like before, when we transfer to the restaurant, we are tired and hungry, and we have to be beaten and scolded by the guests!"

"Okay!" Jingjing said, her expression suddenly became a little dim. "I just don't know what my mother thought. She was determined to go to the capital, saying that it was the most prosperous place in the world and wanted to see the world. I don't know how many big people live there, and I will be appreciated by one person, and I will never worry about it in my life."
