Fisherman

"Ah!"

Brother Zhou was covering his nose. He felt chilly when he got up early this morning. As expected, he started sneezing after a while. His nose was stuffy and dizzy.Zhao Qian asked someone to invite a doctor, and in the gap, they served tea and water.

Zhao Qian touched his forehead and asked softly: "It's a little hot, I got a fever. Last night"

He wanted to say why he had to wear so little clothes, but after seeing his wife's sad eyes, in order to have another surprise in the future, he immediately changed the subject and put the responsibility on himself: "It's all because I didn't cover you well, Such a cold day."

After saying this, Brother Zhou's complexion improved slightly, and he said: "Don't get so close to me, I'm afraid it will stain you."

"Don't worry, a little fever won't infect me."

He asked Xiao He to get another thick cloak to wrap around the young man. The two of them were waiting in the hall for the doctor to come. It was still early, and the medical center probably hadn't opened yet, so they had to go to the doctor's house to invite someone. , it takes a long time.After waiting for a long time, the doctor didn't come, but Zhong Jiu came first.

Zhong Jiu was lured to the hall by his servants. Seeing that the couple were still in love with each other, and it seemed that the episode yesterday hadn't happened, he coughed awkwardly, and reminded Zhao Qian weakly: "Boss Zhao?"

Zhao Qian helped Brother Zhou tidy up his clothes, saw the man with red nose, rubbed his hair distressedly, and casually said to Zhong Jiu: "How about the inquiry, just tell me directly."

Zhong Jiu's pupils widened slightly. Isn't this going to make him offend Zhou Fulang again!

"This"

"That's what you say, Shao Yu will know sooner or later." Zhao Qian sat idly beside Brother Zhou, looking at Zhong Jiu who looked mother-in-law.

"The women you asked to inquire about, I went to inquire. They came from the south as refugees. They were famous singers in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the war in the south caused them to flee all the way. It took several months for them to arrive at our market. "

Zhao Qian's eyebrows moved. The county market is located in the northwest. Because it is far away from the war-torn area, it has not been affected. I only heard people say a few times. I know the things in the south. It has been several months now. I heard that The war has gradually subsided.

"Then you asked them what they plan to do in the future?"

"The girls suffered a lot on the way to escape. Now I heard that although the war in the south has been pacified, they don't have the energy to go back. They just want to settle down in the market and ask for food."

Zhao Qian was overjoyed: "That would be great! You invite them to Riri Fresh, and I will go talk to them. Remember, keep the noise down, and don't invite people to gossip."

Zhong Jiu nodded, then glanced at Brother Zhou on the side again, with a strange look on his face, his face turned dark when he heard Boss Zhao inquiring about singers yesterday, why didn't he show any signs of this?Besides, a good person will have a fever even if he says he has a fever. Could it be that Boss Zhao has changed his family law?

We dare not say, and we dare not ask!

Zhou Ge'er cast a strange look over him, his whole body froze, he quickly lowered his head, turned around and went out.

"Brother Zhao should go and make arrangements earlier. It's cold these days. If you go early, you'll come back early." He said this from the bottom of his heart. Since Brother Zhao didn't shy away from himself, it meant that there was nothing wrong with him. He trusted him. Brother Zhao's.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qian said, "We will go together after the doctor shows you."

He raised his eyes in doubt, because of the fever, his eyes were watery: "I'm going too?".

Zhao Qian squeezed his hand: "Yes."

Just as he was hesitating, the doctor had already arrived with the medicine box, so he said nothing more, and stretched out his hand to check the pulse. It really wasn't a big deal, it was just common typhoid fever.

The doctor prescribed the medicine, Zhao Qian sent someone to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine, had breakfast, after the medicine was boiled for Brother Zhou to drink, after a while, the two of them went out in a sedan chair and it was almost noon.

According to Zhao Qian's instructions, Zhong Jiu invited the singers from yesterday to Ririxian. When he arrived, the girls were sitting in the private room holding their musical instruments, as if they hadn't stayed in a warm place for a long time. , the expressions on the faces of several people were a little melancholy, but they should have seen many big scenes, and they were not as cramped as ordinary young women.

Seeing him coming, Zhong Jiu backed out.

After Zhao Qian helped Brother Zhou to sit down, he said casually: "You girls haven't eaten yet, have you?"

The women in the room showed strange expressions when they saw the two people who came in. For the sake of the older woman in the first year, she put away her expression, nodded at Zhao Qian, and asked without answering: "I don't know how many sisters this master called us?" What is it?"

Seeing people straight to the point, Zhao Qian didn't want to go around in circles, and said bluntly: "I heard that some girls want to settle down in the market. I don't know what kind of work some girls want to stay and do."

Shui Changyan was a well-known singer in the south of the Yangtze River, and she had seen countless people. Hearing what Zhao Qian said, she knew in her heart that she wanted to keep a few of their sisters. People with bad intentions want to keep them, so she should be on guard.

She frowned: "I don't know what the master is asking about these things?"

Brother Zhou, who was sitting by the side, sneezed suddenly, and everyone turned their attention to him. The solemn atmosphere in the room was suddenly interrupted by him. He stood up and waved his hands in embarrassment: "I'm sorry .”

Zhao Qian hurriedly poured a cup of hot water: "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine." Brother Zhou was holding a teacup, and the warm quilt was very warm in his hands, but he saw two little girls in the room wearing shoes with holes in the cold winter months, and his heart ached. With some pity, when he didn't meet Brother Zhao, it was like this in winter.

He stood up suddenly: "Husband, it's getting late, I'll let Sun Xiong prepare some meals, you can talk slowly first."

Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing again, and rubbed his hair: "Okay, go, but don't go outside to blow the wind."

Brother Zhou nodded, and went downstairs with the cup in his hand.

Shui Ruyan's eyebrows frowned again, but when Zhao Qian turned her head, she stretched them out again. The women in the happy place knew the most men, but even though she visited countless people, it was the first time she saw someone like Zhao Qian. Ban has a ferocious face, but treats her husband with a different kind of tenderness.

After Brother Zhou left, Zhao Qian regained his composure and said: "As far as I know, these girls are famous singers in the south of the Yangtze River. Outstanding, but after all, she is a female class, and it is not easy to make a living in the market."

The water is like smoke and the eyebrows are congealed, Zhao Qian's words hit his heart, they are originally girls who can only indulge in love, the autumn moon and the spring breeze have passed the happy days for too long, if they are rough and tiring, they will definitely not be able to do it, it is really difficult Life, if you marry someone, it is not a good person who is willing to marry them.

Two days ago, I inquired about Huaxianlou. I wanted to ask for a place to live, but Huaxianlou never had any qin prostitutes who were only performing arts, and they didn't dare to go there rashly. They had to be taught to perform during the day and live in the market at night. In the ruined temple outside, since the beginning of winter, there is no money to buy warm clothes. Several sisters have developed chilblains, and the pain is unbearable at night, and they can hardly walk.

Even if Shui Ruyan fell silent, Zhao Qian knew that their situation would not be good: "I'm looking for girls for no other purpose, I think I want to hire everyone."

The eyes of the girls suddenly lit up with wings of hope, but the eldest sister, Shui Changyan, was obviously much more sensible, and she never believed in such a thing that fell from the sky, so she asked sharply: "What is the master's condition? "

"I ordered a cruise ship to be built, and guests will be attracted soon. You just need to go back to your old ways."

Shui Ruyan frowned slightly. When they were in the south of the Yangtze River, they played the piano on the cruise ship and had fun with the dignitaries. It would be a good opportunity if they only did these things.

Zhao Qian took a sip of tea: "If the girls are interested, I can take you to see the cruise ship first."

Shui Ruyan was still hesitating, but the girls at the side couldn't sit still, and tugged at the corners of her clothes: "Sister, why don't you go and have a look first, if it's not suitable, we'll make another plan."

Shui Ruyan tightened her grip on the piano in her hand, looked at Zhao Qian, and thought about it carefully, thinking that a man who would bring her husband out to meet a group of Qin girls would not do anything to them. Chances are, I'm afraid the sisters won't be able to survive this winter: "Okay then."

Zhao Qian took a sip of tea in satisfaction.

At this moment, there was a voice of talking outside the private room. Brother Zhou had already given orders and came back. Xiao Er came in with dishes. It was cold and the girls were all thin. He specially ordered hot pot and came in. In winter, it was fresh every day. The hot pot is particularly popular, after all, eating to warm up the body, at this time the downstairs is full of guests, and the private rooms are all booked out, so he went to the kitchen and asked the busy cook to make a pot first and serve it.

He sat next to Zhao Qian: "Have we finished talking?"

"Well, okay." Zhao Qian sniffed the spicy smell of the hot pot and frowned. It's not that he doesn't like spicy food: "Why did you order the hot pot? You can't eat such spicy things when you have a fever."

Brother Zhou wanted to eat it a little bit at first, but he didn't dare to eat it after being told: "I'll let them cook some other dishes, you guys eat hot pot, I can eat the main dishes, right?"

Zhao Qian hugged him by the shoulders, and said to Xiao Er who was serving the dishes, "Go and ask the cook to cook some good dishes for Fu Lang."

"Okay."

It was supposed to be a somewhat depressing meal, but the couple made it a little warmer. The young girls had been hungry for a few days. Looking at the hot pot on the table, they couldn't wait, not to mention that they hadn't eaten it before. Rare stuff.And Shui Ruyan looked at Brother Zhou several times, then turned away his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, showing his sadness.
