Chapter 151: Being beaten
Normally, people in their village would buy meat from Feng the butcher's house. As they had a conflict with Feng the butcher before, the two families still did not talk to each other when they met. So, usually, Ye Xiuying would either go to the neighboring village to buy meat, or wait until the market and then buy it in town.
Wen Qingcheng thought that Ye Xiuying had to walk to the neighboring village to buy meat. Although it was not far, it was still three or four miles round trip. It was rare that Wen Qingcheng came back early today, so she suggested: "Mom, forget it, let's go to the county town restaurant to eat. There is a new big restaurant in the county town recently. It is quite high-end and you can also listen to opera."
Ye Xiuying liked to listen to operas, but since she lived in the village, she didn't have many opportunities and couldn't get in touch with good opera troupes.
"We can also go to the theatre. That must cost a lot of money." Ye Xiuying's eyes sparkled, but she was still frugal at heart. Even though they no longer had to worry about money, she was still very careful with her money and didn't dare to waste it.
"It's not too expensive. I heard it's about 100 coins per person."
"100 wen, so expensive! If we use this to buy vegetables and meat, it will be enough for our family to live on for seven or eight days."
Zicheng's originally excited face was instantly filled with disappointment. Wen Qingcheng touched Zicheng's little head.
"We don't go there every day, so let's be extravagant today and go with Xue'er in our arms."
Wen Qingcheng bought a small carriage that could seat two people after she left on the first day of the new year. Wen Qingcheng and Ye Xiuying worked together to harness the carriage to the horse. Wen Qingcheng drove in front, while Zicheng and Ye Xiuying held Wen Yuxue in the carriage.
Wen Qingcheng's driving skills were not very proficient, and the carriage moved very slowly. By the time they arrived at the county town, night had already fallen, and the lights in the county town were lit up one by one, like twinkling stars.
At this time, Wen Qingcheng had already brought Ye Xiuying and Zicheng to Xianze Tower in the county town.
This three-story brick building is built in a particularly magnificent style, with a roof covered with emerald green glazed tiles, exuding a simple and elegant atmosphere. Two strings of huge red lanterns are hung on the upper floor, swaying gracefully, showing the bustle and prosperity here. Standing outside the gate, you can clearly hear the sound of opera music coming from the building.
The Xianze Building just opened last month. Since its opening, it has been packed with people every day, with many luxurious carriages parked here.
As soon as Wen Qingcheng's carriage stopped, a waiter came forward to ask, "Miss, have you booked a private room?"
"I don't have a reservation, are there any seats available?"
"There are seats available, but the private rooms are all booked, so we can only dine in the lobby."
"Sure, please help us find a seat with a good angle to watch the show."
"Okay, sir, give me the horse." The waiter took the reins, handed them to the person who was leading the horse, and led it to the backyard.
Walking into Xianze Building, the whole building is barrel-shaped, with carved beams and painted buildings everywhere. The three-story building is surrounded by private rooms, with a large living room in the middle with a stage, which is already full of people.
The waiter led them to a seat, and Wen Qingcheng thanked him for a few cents as a tip. The waiter took it with a smile, and his attitude became more attentive. Wen Qingcheng said, "Let's take a look at the menu first, and we'll call you when we order."
The waiter smiled and left. Ye Xiuying hugged Wen Yuxue and sat down awkwardly. "Qingcheng, this is the first time for mother to eat in a place like this. This is too luxurious."
"Mom, you watch the show first, I'll order the food." Wen Qingcheng picked up the menu and took a look. The prices were reasonable.
"Qingcheng, we don't eat much, just order two dishes."
Zicheng looked around and came to Wen Qingcheng to look at the menu. He could read now and understand the menu. The brother and sister ordered a meat dish and a vegetable dish, a seafood soup, a plate of peony rolls, and a pot of Biluochun tea.
This was the first time that Wen Yuxue had seen so many people. She looked around curiously, staring intently at the people performing on the stage with her big eyes like black grapes.
The Hua Dan singing in the opera has a soft and gentle voice, which seems to be telling of endless love, and she interprets a touching story accompanied by drums and music.
Ye Xiuying was also fascinated by what she heard, and before she knew it, all the dishes had been served. She fed Wen Yuxue first before she started eating.
The family soon ate their fill, and the opera on the stage continued. Wen Qingcheng and the others were not in a hurry to leave, but drank tea while listening to the opera.
Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the private room upstairs, followed by the sound of wine jugs and dishes breaking, and a few cups fell from upstairs, making a crisp sound when they hit the ground.
Wen Yuxue was frightened and started crying. Ye Xiuying hugged her tightly in her arms and said, "Don't be afraid, Xue'er. Mom is here."
Zicheng put his hands on Wen Yuxue's head and looked up at the upstairs. Wen Qingcheng hurriedly pulled Ye Xiuying aside. He saw several waiters in blue clothes from the restaurant trotting up the stairs on both sides.
Ye Xiuying thought to herself, "These men, after drinking a few glasses of yellow wine, start to act crazy."
They didn't throw anything at this moment. After hearing that a fight had broken out inside, Wen Qingcheng didn't dare to sit back with Ye Xiuying and the others. What if someone threw something down and hit them?
"Mom, curfew is almost here, let's go back early." Wen Qingcheng was about to pull Ye Xiuying away when she heard a familiar voice coming from upstairs.
"Who the hell are you? Let me go! Do you know who I am?" The owner of the voice was obviously suppressed, and it felt like a roar squeezed out of his throat.
"I don't care who you are! Even if you are the emperor, I will beat you up today. Damn, where did you come from, you wild boy, to dare to act wild in Qinghe County?"
Wen Qingcheng was stunned and stopped. Ye Xiuying pulled Wen Qingcheng's arm. "Qingcheng, let's not watch this excitement. Let's go quickly, don't get hurt by mistake."
Wen Qingcheng looked up at the building. At this moment, the blue-clothed servants from Xianze Tower had gone up to persuade them to stop fighting. The sounds of fighting had stopped, but there were still shouting and cursing.
"Mom, it sounds like my leader is up there." Wen Qingcheng recognized the man's voice as Wang Heng's. Although he was a little drunk, she could still tell the difference.
"Who?" Ye Xiuying asked.
"I'm your boss at Wang's Pharmacy. Mom, you guys go aside and wait for me. I'll go upstairs and take a look." Wen Qingcheng said as he went up the stairs.
At this time, the door was already crowded with people watching the excitement. Wen Qingcheng jumped twice outside the door but couldn't see what was going on inside. Relying on her thin figure, she squeezed in.
The man in front of him had flushed cheeks, obviously having been drinking. His brand new green brocade robe was covered in vegetable soup and grease and wine stains. He was helped up from the ground by several bruised and swollen servants. There were three young men in fancy clothes beside him, who were probably his friends.
Wen Qingcheng recognized him at a glance. Wasn't this Wang Heng? Opposite Wang Heng were three muscular men with fierce looks. Judging from their clothes, they looked like gangsters.
Wang Heng, who had always been used to bullying others in Wang's company, had never been treated like this before. He was so angry that his face turned green and he threatened to kill the other party.
Wen Qingcheng was sweating for him. He was really a rookie and a playful person. With the size of the opponent, he could beat ten of them. He didn't know kung fu, and the servants around him were ordinary people. How could he beat those people from the martial arts world? He didn't say much at this moment, and he was still threatening.
