Stepmother Shaoguang

"Then I won't go, I'll take girl Zhen to stroll around the city first. Hanshan Temple or something, shall we go together after you come back?"

He Shaoguang resolutely refused, because shopping is more attractive to her.

The two reached a united front, and Adu followed Lu Xiaowen, Yuanjin followed Zhijun and Nijun, and accompanied them around the city of Suzhou.

Walking on the street during the day, you can see the difference between the people here and the capital.

No matter men, women or children on the street, they all spoke Wu Nong's soft language. He Shaoguang truly felt why those emperors liked Jiangnan women. The lady sang for them.

The little lady is in her 20s, her hair is pulled sideways, she should be married, her eyes crooked when she smiles.

He Shaoguang was very kind to her: "Whatever you are good at, you can come as you like, and we will pass the time."

"The ladies look young, so I will sing a cheerful song for you."

She brushed her hair behind her ears, set up the pipa, picked out a small tune, and hummed softly.

He Shaoguang couldn't figure out what it was, it should be the predecessor of Kunqu opera, with a catchy melody, he couldn't help humming along.

"I see that there are still guests eating here, so it's almost noon, why don't we settle it here?"

Dr. Tea was not far away, beckoned over, and immediately introduced the special food here with a smile.

"I see that the two of you are foreigners? Do you want to try Gusu's special three-prawn noodles? Hey, this is the season to eat this, and it is very fragrant. There are also plum blossom cakes, green snail shrimp, squid lung soup, The oil eel paste and cherry meat are all from Suzhou, what do you want to use? Seeing that you have a child, why not try the cherry meat? This sweet taste, the little girl should like it."

He was very eloquent after a meal of sales, so He Shaoguang ordered a bunch of dishes in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, the dishes were already on the table.

Well, most of them are famous dishes, so it’s not bad to try them.

"Mom, why is this noodle called Three Shrimp Noodles? Is it because there are only three shrimps?"

While Dr. Cha was about to answer, He Shaoguang happened to know the allusion, so he answered for him.

"The three shrimps refer to the shrimp roe, shrimp brain, and shrimp shell of the white shrimp. Only now is the season for the white shrimp to have shrimp roe and shrimp brain, so we are just a coincidence." He Shaoguang laughed.

"Wow~" Lu Mingzhen tried to count the shrimp roe in the bowl, but found that he couldn't count, "It's amazing."

He Shaoguang also took a bite into his mouth, the noodles were soft and smooth, the shrimp shells were tender, the shrimp brains were fragrant, and the shrimp roe sauce was delicious. Even a person like He Shaoguang who loves spicy food would not be willing to put spicy sauce on this bowl of noodles .

"We have eaten this bowl of noodles, and Suzhou City is not in vain."

She leaned back contentedly, and Jun Zhi laughed at her: "Didn't Madam just say that you must go to Hanshan Temple when you come to Suzhou City this morning?"

"But I'm full now, so I want to sleep." Maybe it was because the atmosphere was too relaxed, she was [-]% full after eating, and she was so full that she didn't want to move.

So in the afternoon, I slumped on a chair to eat and see if there was anything interesting happening on the street.

"Hey, that person looks like our second master."

With sharp eyes, Nijun saw a person stopped by someone on the street who looked very similar to Lu Xiaowen, and that person also had a child with him. When he took a closer look, he found that it was really Lu Xiaowen.

"What's the matter?" He Shaoguang also squeezed to the window to watch the excitement, and found a young girl kneeling on the street, blocking them.

Yuanjin frowned: "This woman doesn't want to rely on Second Master, does she?"

"No." He Shaoguang retorted, "He has several guards with him, and that girl looks powerless, who dares to rely on him?"

Yuanjin didn't answer, and He Shaoguang ignored her. The two maids in the front yard were just too arrogant, they only cared about Lu Xiaowen, and others didn't pay much attention to them.

Sure enough, as soon as I went there, I saw the girl's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and there was a wooden sign hanging in front of her, with four large characters written on it: "Sell yourself to bury your father".

He Shaoguang clicked his tongue, didn't he, could this kind of plot happen to her?Is there going to be a newcomer in the mansion?

The other side was blocked by Lu Xiaowen just now. In fact, there was another group of people. He was a fat man with a full face. He was dressed in rich clothes. The guards stopped him.

Lu Xiaowen frowned, seeing He Shaoguang, his eyes lit up, and he took two quick steps to meet him: "You are here, and you have encountered a difficult matter."

"This girl?" He Shaoguang wondered.

"The family is so poor that they can't get rid of the pot. Both parents are long-term laborers for the person next to them, so they gave birth to such a daughter. My mother's illness was gone a few years ago. This year, my father fell off when he was building the roof of that person's house. Everyone on the spot Gone."

His life experience was really pitiful, He Shaoguang glanced at the fat man, he looked like he was probably a Yuanwai, and sure enough, he heard the people around him calling him Wang Yuanwai.

"This person is here, why don't you pay compensation? Why do you want to sell yourself to bury your father?"

"Don't talk about compensation, Wang Yuanwai said that it was Lin's father who fell down by accident, and yelled that he destroyed the new house he hadn't built. It's unlucky, and he wants Miss Lin to pay for it." Adu was on the side Dissatisfied, it seems that he sympathizes with Miss Lin very much.

"That's too much. Although we can help, I don't think we can spoil him. Let him taste the sweetness of this time. I don't know what reason to find to embarrass him next time. There may not be good-hearted people at that time."

He Shaoguang was annoyed by this kind of thing the most. He rolled his eyes when he saw that fat man was still looking at them.

"I thought so too, but he is a local snake in this area. Just now he saw that I gave the girl two taels of silver and asked Adu to take her home, so he stopped me from leaving, and his mouth was dirty. .”

Lu Xiaowen can't just fight with someone on the street, this is Suzhou after all, and the other party is not a fugitive from the enemy army, but at most a shameless person.

"Do you know what is the most important thing to treat a shameless person?" He Shaoguang snorted and sneered. Seeing her expression, Lu Xiaowen felt relieved, so he asked, "What is it?"

"It's about being shameless than anyone else."

He Shaoguang was gearing up in his heart, and walked up to him.

"Hey, this girl is as beautiful as a flower, and she looks pretty."

Lu Xiaowen followed her and turned around. He Shaoguang had already put on a flirtatious expression, he lifted the chin of the sobbing girl, and said tut-tsk.

"This is the girl my husband bought for two taels of silver just now, right? Zhijun, Nijun, take it away."

She let go of him and clapped her hands with a look of contempt.

"Hey, hey, why are you leaving? You haven't lost money yet, where are you from?"

Wang Yuanwai was furious, he broke away from the few people who were blocking him, and quickly stood in front of He Shaoguang: "This Lin Baozhi's father owes me Wang Bao 50 taels of silver, and the father's debt will be paid by the son. Her father died, so she can't pay it back. It's from our Wang family. You want to take it away, don't even think about it."
