Chapter 024 The shoemaker girl sings
Dongfang Yong left Bogutang, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down the resentment he had just suffered.
Then he took Baigu into a ready-made clothing store. When the two came out a quarter of an hour later, they had replaced the clothes that were torn during the fight and looked brand new.
Dongfang Yong is not in the mood to wander outside now, and he has the Qingming Festival Along the River in his hand. He also wants to take a good look at it when he goes back.
"Master..." At this time, a timid voice sounded softly.
Dongfang Yong was stunned and stopped. A petite girl stood aside. Her eyes were clearly scared, but she stood there bravely and looked at Dongfang Yong.
"You're looking for me? What's the matter?" Dongfang Yong asked strangely.
Dongfang Yong looked at this girl who could barely tell that she was a girl. She was wearing gray thin clothes, her face was very dirty, and she had two black marks on her face. The only bright spot in her body was her big and bright eyes.
.
But Dongfang Yong doesn’t know her!
"Master, your shoes are torn, can you let me mend them for you?" the girl said weakly, and then added: "My shoes are not expensive, and it only costs one copper coin to mend one shoe!"
"Uh..." Dongfang Yong looked down and saw that his right shoe had a cut.
It should have been broken during the fight with Chu Yuan just now. When Dongfang Yong thought of this, he couldn't help but feel angry.
The girl saw that the face of the young man opposite suddenly became angry and a little ferocious, and she took a step back in fear.
But she didn't run. She stood there with trembling legs, not daring to look at Dongfang Yong.
Dongfang Yong raised his head and noticed that the girl was strange. He realized that he had accidentally scared the girl. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He smiled at the girl and said, "I'm not trying to hurt you, don't be afraid!"
Dongfang Yong was a little embarrassed to ask her to mend his shoes at this time, and said, "I can just change my shoes when I go home. No need to mend them."
The girl was anxious and bravely raised her bright eyes to look at Dongfang Yong and said: "Master, the shoes I mend are really not expensive. It only costs one copper coin to mend each shoe. I will also clean the young master's shoes!"
Dongfang Yong was stunned.
"Master, just give her the shoes, she looks very pitiful!" Bai Gu stood behind and suddenly asked Dongfang Yong.
Dongfang Yong looked at the girl with gray face and bright eyes in front of him, and felt a little soft in his heart.
And this was the first time he heard that Baigu would plead for others.
"Master, if my shoes weren't broken, I would have mended them for her." Bai Gu added.
Dongfang Yong has a black line on his face!
Dongfang Yong knelt down, took off his right shoe, handed it to the girl, and said, "Okay, you can mend it."
A happy smile appeared on the girl's face, and she happily took Dongfang Yong's shoes. She saw that Dongfang Yong only had his right foot in a white sock, and lifted it up. Without hesitation, she took the shoes that Dongfang Yong had just taken off and squatted down.
Lower your body.
Dongfang Yong was startled and heard the girl below say: "Master, wait a minute. You put on your shoes first, then follow me to sit on the chair over there, and put on the shoes I use for guests, so you don't have to hang your feet."
Already."
After saying that, the girl had already helped Dongfang Yong put on his shoes.
Dongfang Yong smiled happily, this little girl's service is really thoughtful!
The girl led Dongfang Yong to walk a few steps. Under the corner of the street, there was a wooden box containing cobbler tools. There was a simple chair next to it. Although it was a bit old, it was very clean.
After Dongfang Yong sat down, the girl took out a pair of white cloth shoes from the wooden box, squatted down and put them on for Dongfang Yong.
From Dongfang Yong's perspective, you can see the white back of the girl's neck, her waist is slightly bent, and her slender back holds up her thin clothes with a beautiful curve. She is so beautiful!
Dongfang Yong couldn't help but be fascinated by it. He didn't expect that this "Cinderella" was still an uncarved piece of jade!
Dongfang Yong couldn't help but ask: "Girl, what's your name?"
The girl raised her head and replied with a smile: "Master, my surname is Yu and my name is Doudou."
"Yu Doudou!" Dongfang Yong said, his name is so cute.
"Um."
The little girl didn't know that Dongfang Yong's image of her was improving. She quickly and gently changed Dongfang Yong's shoes, then squatted and took a step back, then stood up and showed a sweet smile to Dongfang Yong.
Then he turned around and sat on the wall behind the wooden box of shoe repair tools. He held the torn shoe in his hand and placed the other one on the wooden box.
After she sat down, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Bai Gu who was standing behind Dongfang Yong, smiled, and said gratefully: "Brother, thank you."
She was grateful to Bai Gu for interceding for her just now.
"Haha..." Baigu scratched his head and smiled silly, but didn't know what to say.
"Next time brother's shoes are torn, I will mend them for free," the little girl said.
Bai Gu laughed stupidly twice more, seeming to have accepted the little girl's kindness!
Dongfang Yong has two more black lines on his head!
If he hadn't known that Bai Gu had grown up in the Dongfang family and was extremely loyal to the Dongfang family, Dongfang Yong would have suspected that the two of them had conspired to deceive him.
Dongfang Yong was sitting there with nothing to do, so he opened a corner of the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival and started admiring it excitedly.
I heard that there was once a painter from Dongguang and Fujian who imitated the Qingming Riverside Scene. The only flaw was that the mouth shape of one of the three children in the painting was different from the north to the south in terms of the pronunciation of "six".
Dongfang Yong quickly found the three children in the painting. They were squatting on the ground. There were three dices in the middle, two of which were sixes, and the other one was still spinning. One child very much hoped that the third one would also be a six, so he said
Shouting "Six".
People in Bian (Kaifeng) call "Liu" with a Minnan accent, but in the imitation painting by a painter from the Dongguang and Fujian areas, he shouts "Liu" with his mouth open, which is the Minnan accent.
Dongfang Yong was dubious about this statement, but he knew that Chaoshan dialect called "six" and his mouth had to be opened very wide.
If you look carefully at the painting, you will see that the children in the painting are speaking in Kaifeng dialect.
Then, Dongfang Yong thought of another allusion in his mind. It was also a historical painter who imitated the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", but his painting was not good on the paw of a sparrow, which turned out to be a failure.
For those who are not in the antique industry, they may say that they are so idle that they are as serious as a sparrow's paw.
But for enthusiasts, paying attention to details is their happiness!
Dongfang Yong watched for a while, and the girl mending shoes next to him happily hummed a tune softly, like water droplets on white jade, fresh and warm, very nice!
"The weather will be new on March 3rd, and there will be many beautiful people by the waterside in Chang'an..."
(If you want to know the whole chapter of "Beauty's Journey", please search on Baidu and you will know!)
Dongfang Yong stopped and thought about it carefully. What she sang was actually Du Fu's "Beauty's Journey". The slight difference was that several words were changed in it to make the characters different from the original text.
"Beauty's Journey" is a Yuefu poem. In the eleventh year of Tianbao, Yang Guozhong became the Prime Minister of Zuo, and Yang Guifei's three sisters were granted the title of Madam. This poem was written in the spring of the following year and is a political satire.
But now when it comes to Yu Doudou's mouth, it has become a tune full of youthful vitality!
