On the day when Jiang Hexi took a break, she arrived at the gate of Zhou's pharmacy early, waiting for the rest of her brother Jiang.
Although Jiang Dadi could rest on the previous month's off day, he wanted to learn more about the medicinal materials business, so he stayed in the pharmacy directly and did not go home.
Of course, there is another reason, which is also because of Wang’s remarriage, which made Brother Jiang feel sad.
He could not accept that his mother left him and went directly to other people's home to live.
Brother Jiang has feelings for Wang, which is much deeper than Jiang Hexi.
My father had already passed away, which led to his increasing attachment to his mother's feelings. Now that Wang left him, the feeling of being abandoned was quite a blow to the young man.
When Jiang Hexi came to the Zhou family pharmacy, not long after, Brother Jiang came out.
Brother Jiang will be eleven years old in a few days. I haven’t seen each other for more than a month. Brother Jiang has grown a lot taller and looks much stronger. It seems that the food in the pharmacy this week should be good.
Seeing Jiang Hexi, Brother Jiang hurried over, showed a bright smile, and said, "Sister, have you come to pick me up?"
Jiang Hexi smiled at him and said, "Let's go home with my sister, I'll cook you delicious food today."
The siblings spoke happily and began to walk towards the nearby market.
The market is in the west of the city. Jiang Hexi plans to buy some pork and other fresh ingredients. He will go home and make up for Jiang Dadi.
Since his father passed away and his mother remarried, Brother Jiang's heart has been bored tightly. He was afraid he had never relaxed in the pharmacy. Jiang Hexi hopes that he can live a relaxing life after he returns home.
Because he made money now, Jiang Hexi was willing to spend money, so he took Jiang Dadi to the cloth shop to pick and choose, and first chose the cloth head, and then took Jiang Dadi to the west market.
It was a coincidence that because Xicheng City was near Xifeng Alley, Jiang Hexi and his brother walked over and happened to meet an acquaintance.
On the street, wearing brocade, his head was covered with red hairpins, and a thick layer of powder was applied to his face. Zhao Yinchun, who looked like a different person, was holding the hand of a man who could be her father.
Bypass the city.
Jiang Dadi's eyes were swept across the street at will, but he immediately saw Zhao Yinchun dressed up.
"Sister, is that Zhao Yinchun?"
Jiang Hexi looked over and saw a look of surprise flashing through his eyes.
"Yes, she is Zhao Yinchun!"
"Sister Yinchun... why did she... dress up like this?"
Brother Jiang was a little shocked when he spoke. After all, the Zhao family considered himself a scholar and superior. How could their daughter behave intimately with a man who was enough to be her father on the street?
Jiang Hexi took a look and was about to say something, but Zhao Yinchun saw Jiang Hexi.
Zhao Yinchun has never really liked Jiang Hexi, a village girl who has been engaged to her brother since childhood.
When he saw Jiang Hexi, Zhao Yinchun twisted his waist and walked over, saying, "Oh, is this Hexi? What are you brothers and sisters doing in the city? Do you can't live anymore?
?If you really can’t eat, why not come to Xifeng Alley to find me. Then I will introduce you to a guest. As long as you serve the guests well, you can have silk, satin, gold and silver hairpins."
As she spoke, she turned around in front of Jiang Hexi and said, "Hexi, look, is my outfit good-looking? Hexi, let me tell you, this woman, sooner or later, will have to hand over her body to a man.
, Instead of giving it to a poor and dirty muddy leg, you might as well find a rich and powerful man, at least a rich man can make you wear gold and silver."
Next to Zhao Yinchun, the greasy old man grabbed Zhao Yinchun's butt, looked at Jiang Hexi lustfully and said, "Madam Chun, who is this? Are your little sisters?"
Zhao Yinchun smiled and said, "Yes. Master, I am a good-looking sister? If my sister wants to make money in the future, I will let her be the first to find the old man, okay?"
The man said lustfully, "Okay, OK, OK!"
The two of them were talking, accompanied by Zhao Yinchun's giggling, and they immediately walked away.
On the side, Jiang Hexi got goosebumps all over.
Brother Jiang's face was pale and said, "Sister, why did she...be like this? He is so unfair and shameless!
Jiang Hexi looked at Zhao Yinchun's back, but felt sad.
This girl is still so young. In modern society, she is the age to act coquettishly with her parents, but in this era, she has fallen into the dust and fallen into the purgatory of the world.
If they lose their parents, the Jiang siblings, if they are not careful, they will be the next Zhao Yinchun.
Jiang Hexi looked up and looked at Jiang's eldest brother seriously, saying, "Brother, if we don't work hard to make money, if we can't become rich and powerful, one day, you and I will be the next Zhao Yinchun!"
Seeing that Brother Jiang’s face turned pale and his body trembled, she still felt cruel and said, “Did you see it? This is the fate of the people at the bottom of the border!”
Once you can't eat, what else is impossible to happen?
"Brother, even if you are a man, once you fall, you will be a hundred times more miserable than Zhao Yinchun." After a pause, he said, "You must study the knowledge of medicinal materials well and memorize all the medicinal materials as soon as possible.
”
"Sister, I know." Brother Jiang made up his mind, "Sister, I will work hard. In the future, I will make a lot of money and respect my elder sister. In this way, we will never become Zhao Yinchun in our lives.
.”
"Okay, I'm waiting for you to make a lot of money and respect my elder sister!"
As the siblings talked, they walked towards the west market.
Although the border is a bitter and cold place, the western market is extremely prosperous and you can buy anything as long as you have money.
Not only does it have the largest slave market on the border, but it also has various silks, exquisite embroidery, tea, porcelain, rare fruits and vegetables, as well as medicinal materials and furs produced in the northern region.
Jiang Hexi went straight to the topic, came to the meat stall, and bought five or six kilograms of pork and five or six kilograms of pork.
On the side, Brother Jiang felt heartbroken and said, "Sister, why do we buy so much? Just buy a small piece of meat and taste the meat flavor."
"Brother, don't worry, I've made money recently and can afford it."
"Sister, we have bought too much, I'm afraid we can't finish it." The little boy was worried that it was too wasteful and frowned tightly.
Jiang Hexi said, "I bought dumplings home, and there are many people, so there will definitely be no fewer ones."
Brother Jiang didn't understand the meaning of too many people at this time, but when he returned home, he probably understood the meaning of too many people.
