sinking into sand

Yu Sha led the others to the backyard, where he was still playing the pipa on Xun Er, when he saw him coming in half behind his back, he was startled, and immediately put down the pipa and came over to watch.

Yu Sha was annoyed by her watching, and thought to her: "What are you looking at? There's nothing new about beggars."

Xun Er turned a deaf ear and said, "People are not new, but you are nosy."

"Shut up." Yu Sha scolded her, "Come and help me, this person is too heavy."

Xun Er was about to reach out, but when he saw the mud on his body, he backed away. He looked around and said to him: "Oh, brother, have you not eaten yet? I'll go to the kitchen to make you breakfast."

As soon as the words fell, Xun Er ran away like a little rabbit.

Yu Sha was so angry that she laughed, and didn't know who this girl learned from.Play dumb and be stunned, hide when you have something to do, only eat diligently.

He took a lot of effort to move Guan Lan to a side room in the backyard. It was originally for the shop assistants, but it had been vacant for a long time.

He put Guan Lan directly on the bed frame, looked at the bedside for a while, went out to get a basin of hot water, and took a clean handkerchief to scrub Guan Lan.

Guan Lan was really exhausted, so he didn't respond.

Yu Sha originally wanted to take off the man's dirty coat, since they are all men, there is no need to worry about it.But just wiped the face clean and tidy up.Yu Sha looked at that appearance, and his hands that picked up the clothes suddenly stopped.

He was a little worried for no reason, he felt that this person was too defenseless, he dared to just sleep to death outside like this, he really didn't know how his family dared to let him go out alone. .

Closed eyes are like the most intoxicating nail-headed drawing.The starting point of the pen is slightly sunken, and then the pen is turned to draw a very beautiful arc, the fine eyelashes are slightly aggravated in color, and the finishing point is thin and slightly curved, pulling out a long eye tail, as if leaving a faint aftertaste. It made people want him to open his eyes and see what kind of spring it was.

With just this pair of eyes alone, this person's appearance is already extraordinary.What's more, the goodness of the heavens gave him a set of just right facial features.

Yu Sha lives in Pingchunfang, where beauties are regarded as commodities, and he has seen quite a few beauties.Even so, the person in front of him still amazed him for a moment.

But compared to the love of beauty, after the surprise, the element of worry is heavier.

After all, sometimes, being tall is not necessarily a good thing.

Yu Sha was so worried that he felt lucky that he was a serious gentleman.

Facing such a face, Yu Sha really didn't dare to touch his clothes, for fear that there would be some misunderstanding caused by the plums in the melon field.I had to wipe my face clean and wash my hair hastily.He took out an old quilt from the cupboard.It wasn't that when he hated people's dirty clothes, he directly covered Guan Lan.

He tidied up Guan Lan for the time being, fetched water to clean up the side room and himself, and then went to the front yard to see what Xun Er was doing.

In the hall, Xun Er was sitting at the table where Guan Lan had been sitting before, eating steamed buns that Yu Sha had warmed up before.

"Would you like to make breakfast for me?" Yu Sha didn't get angry, and walked over to knock Xun Er on the head: "This guy knows what to eat when the customer orders it."

Xun Er was not afraid of him at all, and said: "He fell asleep, you just do it for him when you wake up."

Yu Sha didn't really care about such a plate of steamed buns, he sat down and took a bite out of one, and took advantage of breakfast to gossip with Xun Er.

It's nothing more than the rumors and gossip that have been secretly circulating in Pingchunfang in the past few days.It was really strange that Jinzhan Pavilion held the funeral so lively, there were many rumors and speculations.In addition, many people came from south to north, and the more foreign visitors, the more complicated the news.

Xun Er ate steamed buns and said: "Nowadays, the inns with a slightly better appearance on the street are full, and the lesser ones are also lively. Pingchunfang has come in like money and money these days, and there are all kinds of them. Sheng'an Tongbao, this year's casting It is said that there is also the silver that I melted, but I don’t know if it came out of "Huo Consumption"."

When Yu Sha heard her say this, he was speechless for a moment: "That can be regarded as stolen money, so bold?"

Xun Er snorted: "I feel that the Li River is so high that the emperor is far away, and no one cares about it. I don't want to be decent. Yesterday, Prince Xiao Li was fighting against people in Pingchunfang, and he spent a whole year for a goose. Thousands of dollars without blinking an eye."

Yu Sha heard it amused, and talked with Xun Er for a long time, then suddenly remembered something, and asked her seriously.

"How much money do you have left?"

Xun Er also became serious, and replied: "Fifty yuan, I can still make ends meet for the time being."

It's really sad, after all, the bustle outside is actually outside, but the embarrassment in front of me has already come to the fore.

Yu Sha hesitated and said, "Isn't it better for us to make some money?"

Xun Er rolled his eyes: "Of course it is! A bucket of rice costs six dollars, and we only have enough food for two or three days. This doesn't include vegetables and other expenses."

Yu Sha felt a headache: "I didn't think food was so expensive before."

"That's why you didn't care about it. After all, we are in the south, so it's good. How about you look north? There's a famine." After eating the steamed buns on Xun Er, he even licked the crumbs off his fingers: "It's us Here, living here in Pingchunfang, apart from those big casinos in Goulanyuan, which common people don’t have a full meal.”

"You know again." Yu Sha said: "Then you should think of a way to get money, so you can't starve to death at the end. It's too embarrassing."

"It's right in front of you." Xun Er used to argue with him in a lawsuit: "The newly opened Nanfeng Pavilion diagonally opposite is recruiting people. If you go there, you may be able to be a courtesan. I will be in your favor when the time comes." , I will be grateful for your kindness in my heart every day."

Yu Sha then also talked to her: "I went to someone else's place to become the oiran's husband-in-law, and that was also to make money for others. Then I will eat delicious food and drink hot food in front of your eyes every day. You will die of greed."

"I'm not greedy." Xun Er didn't answer his words: "You eat delicious food and drink spicy food. I'm still happy to get rid of such an oily bottle like me and live a carefree life by myself."

This is a good word, and I kept talking, but somehow I came back to it.

Yu Sha was silent, stretched out his hand to touch Xun Er's head, and said, "Why are you saying this again? Why are you dragging the oil bottle? Isn't the pipa very good? Xiang Feibai got mad at you."

Xun Er snorted, too lazy to talk to Yu Sha.Regardless of whether he was still eating or not, he took the empty dishes to the kitchen to clean them.

In the huge hall, Yu Sha was left alone.

He finished eating the steamed buns in his hand without interest, and then remembered that there was a guest in the backyard who hadn't woken up yet.I also feel a lot of comfort, no matter what, it is considered open, right?

Yu Sha comforted himself for a few seconds, but felt that he still had to act like he was in charge.Then he went out again to see what was going on outside.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and even in a place like Pingchunfang where the day and night were reversed, some people began to come out to move around.Of course, some clients who stayed overnight also took advantage of this time to get up from the chaotic Gentle Township, pack their clothes, and go home as decent people.

Yu Sha skipped an alley and happened to meet one.He recognized the clothes pattern hair crown, the bat hairpin tassel, and the people from Prince Li's residence.

Xu is a distinguished guest, and someone came to see him off when he left.Liu Ying, who was not completely dressed, stood at the door of the prostitution hall, offering a sweet kiss.

Yu Sha didn't make a sound to disturb them, and after their kiss was over and the people from Prince Li's residence walked away, he went up to talk to Liu Ying.

"My lady, business is going well."

Yao Niang looked back, saw him, and smiled, the corners of her eyes were slightly wrinkled because of the smile, but it didn't hinder her good looks.Mistresses are in their middle age, and some are romantic.

"It's rare to see you get up before noon, why did you think of going out today?"

"Xun Er said that the family has no money, so I'll come out to see if there's anything I can do." Yu Sha agreed casually, and Yu Sha pointed to the direction of the person who was going far away with his eyes, and said, "I didn't expect that people from Prince Li's mansion could also visit you." door."

"It's just a little kiss, not a respectable person." My mother said, her expression was indifferent, and she couldn't see any other emotions.

She rolled up her skirt and looked sideways at Yu Sha: "You were looking for a job, why did you come to me?"

"Walking along the road, I happened to meet you." Yu Sha replied, "Is there a job for my mother?"

My mother laughed, as if she heard some joke: "Is there anything you can do here?"

"I can't say for certain." Yu Sha shrugged and said to her, "This time is different from the past. The current owner of the Jinzhan Pavilion is not a peaceful person, and the Lijiang River is about to go into chaos. When the time comes, someone will The food is good, who cares about what to do?"

My mother smiled: "You can see it."

She flicked her sleeves, turned around and went back to the house, leaving a sentence: "I don't have any workers here, but I can take care of one or two on the second day of the lunar new year. The people in Jinzhan Pavilion have started to patrol the street again these days, maybe those from the north The distinguished guests have arrived. People are panicking, who is still recruiting workers? If you are really short of money, you should look elsewhere."

Yu Sha watched her enter the house, close the door, didn't move much, and didn't go out on the street anymore.He just stood quietly at the door of Liuying for a while, and then shouted through the door.

"My lady, thank you!"

After speaking, Yu Sha turned around and went back to the inn.

I didn't go too far, and when I went back, the street was still the same as when I was walking.Just a few more vendors selling food.Long legs, old] ah} aunt {reason:

Yu Sha only ate a steamed bun this morning, but when he smelled the aroma of pancakes, he felt hungry again.

But the financial power is not with him.

Yu Sha sighed, turned and went back to the inn.

As soon as I entered the room, because the windows were not opened and the door was only half opened, it was very dark.Quietly there seemed to be no one.Xun Er didn't know where to go.

Yu Sha yawned and was disturbed by Guan Lan. He hadn't caught up on sleep yet and was very sleepy.

I wanted to go back to the room on the second floor and sleep.When passing by, he saw that the chair Guan Lan had sat on was covered with yellow mud.It's been in the house all morning, and it's now dry, stuck to the chair, and looking disgusting.

Yu Sha looked at it for a while, then went to the kitchen to get a rag, and knelt down in front of the stool to wipe it.

I don't know where the soil was contaminated, it's quite sticky, and it's quite difficult to get it off.Yu Sha was idly thinking while wiping.When I wiped Guan Lan's face before, it was still clean, there was no such sticky loess, but it seemed that there was some on his body and hair, and it was all dry.

It's so difficult to clean up the thing sticking to the object, let alone sticking to the body, I don't know how he endured it.

It took him a lot of time to clean it up, and it was almost noon when he finally cleaned it up.

Yu Sha stood up and braced himself a little.I started to seriously consider whether I really want to hire a small worker in such a tight situation.It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but it's just not easy to work.

Before he could make up his mind, there was another knock on the door of the inn.

Yu Sha looked over, but this was an uninvited guest.

Baihe Jinmeishang is from Jinzhan Pavilion.
