Qiangzi looked at the people around him, lowered his head timidly and whispered, pulling Zhang Baisheng's sleeves and pleading softly.
He is not afraid on the battlefield. When his brain gets hot, he will follow the adults and his brothers and kill his mother.
But now, the people around him were all people he had never seen since he was a child, and even if he saw them, he would not dare to look up.
Because he is a young man from the countryside. How has he ever seen such a wealthy and honorable person?
The clothes they wear are so beautiful, better than those worn by the richest man in their village, and better than those worn by the village chief. And the faces of the aunts in the troupe are so white and tender.
It's whiter than the second grandmother's waist that Qiangzi peeked at when he was a child. Moreover, it also smells fragrant.
He didn't know that there was an idiom about feeling ashamed, but he just felt that he couldn't hold his head up among these people. He didn't have much knowledge, but he knew that city people looked down on country people, and rich people looked down on poor people.
Good-looking people don't look down on ugly people.
Zhang Baisheng laughed and said, "Don't you want to see her? She is right here, she looks good, what are you afraid of? Are you shy?"
At this moment, he felt a bit like a teenager. He thought about how he failed in the imperial examination and was an unknown and down-and-out student with poor food and clothing. But now, he joined the army to win fame and rose to the top as an official of the imperial court.
This kind of achievement that he had sacrificed his life to achieve inspired the arrogance that had always been hidden in his heart. In addition, he also drank some wine during dinner, and the smell of alcohol also aroused and intertwined in his mind.
What's more, in fact, his previous status as the top star of the troupe was not something he could see if he wanted to. First, he had no money, second, he had no fame, and third, he had no talent and status. Even the women in the troupe looked down on him.
"Come!" Zhang Baisheng smiled at Xiao Meiyu, "Sit down and talk to my brother!" He said with a smile, "This kid's eyes widened when he saw you and he couldn't move, haha!"
"Master Jun, Master Jun..." My aunt came forward with a smile, the smell of powder tickling her nostrils, "Let me serve you two good tea, and then find
Can other girls come and chat with you two?" She said with a charming smile, "We girls will go on stage to continue singing in a while. It would not be nice if it disturbed your commander's interest, wouldn't it?
"
Zhang Baisheng glanced at her sideways, "The commander-in-chief brought this fun to us specially!" After saying that, he snorted coldly, "Looking for someone else to talk to our brothers? Who?"
Then, he sneered again, "Could it be that your aunt is going to end up too?"
He was really happy. Before he was famous and penniless, the aunt who was in charge of the troupe had never seen a scholar like him. She would say in her heart that she was poor and miserable.
"Oh, Master Jun!" My aunt said charmingly, "Look at what you said, how old is this slave?" As she said that, she suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, "Oh, but, it's better to be older, and you know how to love others.
!Haha, if you don’t mind it, slave..."
"Get out!" Zhang Baisheng looked at her coldly, "Go away!"
The sudden curse, coupled with the murderous aura he exuded from the battlefield, made my aunt feel a chill in her heart, and she took a few steps back, revealing her timid little beautiful jade figure.
"It's not like I want to do anything to you, but I just want to come and talk to my brother!" Zhang Baisheng slowly stretched out his hand, took out a few loud silver coins from his arms, and put them on the table with his fingers, "The military pay I just got is enough.
It’s not enough. If it’s not enough for you to talk to me, I’ll go out and make arrangements now. But there’s one thing…”
Wow, with a flick of his finger, the silver dollar fell down and spun on the table. Zhang Baisheng continued, "You can't treat my brother lightly. He saved me on the battlefield. He is an honest boy. He never asks for anything. I like you after seeing you today."
, I am a brother and will fulfill him!"
Men can be arrogant and unreasonable, but there is one thing they cannot live without. That is, they cannot do errands. If Xiao Meiyu was a girl from a good family, Zhang Baisheng would never be like this. But the other party is a man in the world, and he can rely on his status, but he cannot
Send other people's money.
"In this life, there are always things that make your heart happy when you see them." Zhang Baisheng's voice suddenly became a little melancholy, like a man who lost his beloved girl, and said slowly, "In this life,
, there is always something that can’t be let go, forgotten, or retrieved!”
"This life is too damn short!"
Xiao Meiyu stared blankly at the person in front of her, not daring to speak. After a long time, she trembled and said, "Slave... you want to see the slave family and you have already seen it. What else can you do? Slave... I want to
What did the slave say?"
She was so frightened and trembling that she made Qiangzi feel even more embarrassed and restless.
"How do you spend time with others on weekdays? How do you spend time with my brother today?" Zhang Baisheng said, "All you do is talk to men, do you still need me to teach you?"
"But...but..." Xiao Meiyu cried, "I usually accompany you all..."
"Oh, they are all dignitaries, talented people and famous people. I don't know what to say when it's my turn to wait for these people?" Zhang Baisheng said.
"No, no..." Xiao Meiyu waved her hands repeatedly.
In fact, if she just sat next to Qiangzi openly and talked about the family's filial piety, this matter would be over.
But she still had some fear and prejudice in her heart. She had never been in contact with such a man before, so she was a little too panicked to agree.
Furthermore, in fact, the most fundamental reason is that the young boy looks like a wild boy from the country. He is rude, ugly, and smells bad. He is really not worthy of being on the stage. Such a person,
People usually send her away when they see her, she is really an eyesore.
If you want to talk to the thousands of households in front of you, you can't bear the grievance. But to accompany this wild boy... Xiao Meiyu looked at Qiangzi again.
There were pits and cracks on his face, and he lowered his head as if he had no confidence. There was mud in the gaps between his fingernails! Hey, that disgusting yellow water on the back of his hand made me sick just looking at it.
"It's not who's fault, what's not yours, what's not mine!" Zhang Baisheng could see at a glance where Xiao Meiyu was struggling, and he immediately became angry.
"You don't want to talk to my brother, or you look down on him!"
"No, no!" Xiao Meiyu said in horror, "No!"
"Just sit down and talk to him. Is it so difficult to have a good relationship?" Zhang Baisheng stood up, "It's not that I want to force others to make things difficult, and it's not that I want to deliberately bully you. We warriors have survived today, and I don't know if there will be a tomorrow.
!”
"My brother almost died several times, but he never asked for anything, let alone expected anything. I feel happy when I see you today. I just want to talk to you, and I don't want you to be kicked out. Why are you trying to push me back? Is it in your heart?
, I can’t bear to wait!”
Every time he said something, Xiao Meiyu stepped back a little.
With a bang, he leaned against the dressing table, tears streaming down his face from the pain, and he clutched his waist and bowed in pain.
"Why do officials force the slave family? The slave..."
"Master Qianhu is leaving. I looked at her and felt happy in my heart. This is a success!" Qiangzi stepped forward and said, "Let's go!" After that, he looked at the little beautiful jade and smiled, "This way.
I’ve been hit by this girl just by looking at her. My mother said that if we’re not from the same place, we can’t get together. Let’s not scare her, that’s not good!”
As he said this, seeing the pain on the other person's face, his feelings of shame and guilt became even stronger.
He stretched out his hand to help her, "Um...this girl, are you okay? The people in my family are very nice, but...I don't even look at you.
Let’s go now, don’t cry!”
While talking, he carefully tried to pull Xiao Meiyu up.
But when his hands appeared in front of Xiao Meiyu, they were full of cuts, yellow water, and red blood due to frostbite.
"Ah!" A scream came out the next second, and Xiao Meiyu suddenly backed away as if she had seen a ghost.
