Generally speaking, it is easier to ask for things in a tavern. In order to dismiss the beggars as soon as possible, the shopkeeper will give some food. However, if he meets a shopkeeper who is unlucky, he will not be able to get anything. A Chou hopes that the shopkeeper of this tavern will not be too stingy.
When he walked into the restaurant, there were a few young and beautiful orchids singing and dancing with the silk music under the corridor.
A straight chest, a thin waist, a plump and round buttocks...
The simple clothes showed a touch of sexy skin around the waist, and the skirt was tied to the hips on both sides, causing people to wonder whether they would fall down with their snake-like twisting movements.
The dancing slowly, accompanied by the sexy body, made the man salivate.
Ah Chou is still a boy, not a man, he has no interest in these beautiful and beautiful woolen, straight and thin waisted. His eyes are staring at the shopkeeper with a goatee and lying behind the counter to settle accounts.
There are many couches on both sides of the hotel. Guests either kneel or cross-legged, sit on the mat, with a short table in front of them, with wine, food, drinking, talking, and enjoying singing and dancing on it.
It was very rude to walk over from the front of the dining person, so the boy walked around the guest seat and walked around from the aisle behind one side to the shopkeeper.
He was very careful and did everything possible to leave a good impression on the owner of the restaurant first.
"Shopkeeper!"
The boy crossed his hands and bowed politely: "The shopkeeper has a lot of money and a prosperous business. Please give alms to the smaller ones..."
The goatee's gaze moved away from the account book and glanced at the boy coldly. The wrinkles on his face remained motionless. He just moved a thin old hand away from the abacus and moved it to his beard, gently stroked the sparse beard, and then gently bounced his tail finger outward, like a fly flying.
Niu Niu squatted under the banana tree, holding her hungry belly, waiting for the good news from her brother.
The butterfly was tired and was parked on her shoulder.
When she saw her brother walking from the small bridge opposite, she stood up happily. The butterfly was alarmed and flew up again. A light car slowly drove up, driving between her and her brother, blocking her gaze.
She looked up and saw the beautiful little fairy wearing a butterfly hairpin, lying on the gorgeous light car, looking at her curiously, and the butterfly on her head...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
After A Chou walked around the Qing car, he saw Niu Niu talking to a noble man who was walking out of the Qing car. A Chou was shocked and thought that Niu Niu had caused some trouble. He hurried forward and smiled at the man and said, "My sister is young and ignorant. If there is any offense, please forgive me."
When he saw the scholar, he saw the woman who had personally sent out of the mansion by Guangzhou Governor Lu Yuanrui, whom he had seen in front of the Governor's Mansion, Ah Chou felt even more nervous.
As soon as Ah Chou finished speaking, the little loli with a butterfly hairpin came around the side of the man-dressed woman. He mischievously tilted his double snail bun, looked at him with a pair of lacquered eyes, and smiled: "Oh, that's amazing, a little beggar speaks so silly, hehe, my name is Gongsun Lanzhi, what are your name?"
"Daughter! I don't know the rules!"
The woman scolded her with a stern face and asked Ah Chou: "Are you the girl's brother?"
A Chou hurriedly said: "Miss Gongsun, the boy and Niu Niu are not close relatives, but we depend on each other for life and love brothers and sisters. The boy can naturally take care of Niu Niu's affairs for her."
The woman smiled slightly and said, "My husband's surname is Gongsun, but I don't have Gongsun. My surname is Pei. Just call me Aunt Pei."
A Chou quickly changed his words and said, "Yes, Aunt Pei, I don't know what offended my sister."
Aunt Pei smiled and said, "I have never offended anything. My naughty daughter has been clamoring to find a female companion who is about to beg for. I just saw this girl on the roadside. She was clever and pretty and loved her very much. I had asked just now that she was a beggar orphan. It would be better to join my family and be with my daughter as a supporter."
It was A Chou's unique butterfly hairpin that aroused Gongsun Lanzhi's interest. Otherwise, she wouldn't have looked at a beggar on the street. As a result, she talked for a few words, and even Niu Niu fell in love with her. Then she became interested in asking her mother to agree to accept her as a maid.
Niu Niu liked Gongsun Lanzhi's butterfly hairpin, so A Chou made her a "butterfly hairpin". So Gongsun Lanzhi had the idea of taking Niu Niu as her maid's playmate because of this "butterfly hairpin". It is really hard to tell who is the cause and who is the result.
Ah Chou was naturally overjoyed when he heard this. The woman who could call this local emperor of Guangzhou Prefecture to be regarded as a guest of honor would be of the same status. If Niu Niu could be taken in by such a noble person, it would be a great blessing for her. Otherwise, she would not be able to fill her stomach now. When Niu Niu grows up a little and meets some people who are as ulterior motives as a little wolf, I am afraid that she will not be as lucky as last time.
A Chou said happily: "Niu Niu's parents died and were lonely and helpless. If the aunt was willing to take in, it would be great. This kind of kindness will be a shame for the boy..."
Niu Niu pulled the corner of his clothes timidly from the side and said timidly: "Brother, Aunt Pei said she would only take me away."
"What?"
When Ah Chou heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Aunt Pei: "Aunt Pei, you are very diligent. You can be a servile servant or a child. Even if you don't have any wages, you just need to take care of your food and have a place to live..."
Aunt Pei smiled and shook her head, smiling like a spring breeze, but the words she said hit him hard like a plumb: "Young man, although she is very good, it is because my daughter is trying to find a companion, otherwise I wouldn't have taken in a beggar? I'm not doing good deeds!"
Ah Chou's face turned red. He forced himself to suppress the strong sense of humiliation and turned to look at Niu Niu: "Niu Niu, what do you... say?"
"I……"
Niu Niu looked at Aunt Pei, her beautiful daughter, and then the exquisite carriage. A hint of desire appeared in her eyes. But when she thought of her brother who was dependent on her for life, her eyes dimmed again, she turned her head resolutely and said to A Chou: "I... follow Brother!"
Aunt Pei smiled, took her daughter's hand and said, "Daughter, let's go!"
"My mother!" Gongsun Lanzhi was pulled reluctantly by her and pouted.
Ah Chou breathed a sigh of relief, took Niu Niu's hand, and said softly: "Let's go!"
Miss Gongsun walked to the side of the car, lifted her skirt and stepped on her feet, looked back and stomped her feet hatefully, and said loudly: "Little beggar, do you want her to follow you as a little beggar for the rest of her life?"
The voice drifted into A Chou's ears with the wind, and A Chou's smile suddenly froze on his face.
"Brother?"
Niu Niu saw A Chou’s stiff smile and asked him worriedly, but A Chou was still standing, motionless.
"What kind of life can you give her? Do you want her to be a beggar for the rest of her life?"
This question was like a heavy city-breaking hammer, hitting his heart one by one, smashing his heart to pieces.
Suddenly, he grabbed Niu Niu's thin wrist and turned around and ran away, shouting loudly: "Miss Pei, wait a moment! Wait a moment!"
The carriage stopped, Aunt Pei poked her head out of the window and asked lightly: "What's the matter?"
"Niu Niu, go with Aunt Pei!"
Niu Niu looked at him in surprise and said aii: "Brother, I..."
A Chou was afraid that Aunt Pei would be bored, so he hurriedly said to Niu Niu: "As long as you stay by my side, how can I take care of you? You go with Aunt Pei, if I make a fortune in the future, I will go to find you. If you have the ability, you can also come to help Brother A. We promise each other that no matter who has a future, we must find each other and never leave you! OK?"
"Okay! But..."
"Then get in the car, get in the car!"
A Chou did not say anything, carried Niu Niu onto the shaft of the car, took three steps back, and bowed to Aunt Pei to the ground: "Aunt Pei, Niu Niu will ask you!"
Miss Gongsun greeted happily: "Niu Niu, come and sit next to me!"
Aunt Pei ordered lightly: "Go!"
Squeaking, a sound of axle twisting.
Ah Chou bowed to the ground, but never looked up.
"Brother, don't forget what you said. You promised me, don't lie to me! Brother, I will take it seriously..."
Niu Niu's words were getting farther and farther away with her crying voice, and Ah Chou kept bowing and refused to look up.
When he slowly straightened his waist and looked into the distance with regret, pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, and the light car could no longer be seen at the end of the road.
Ah Chou's heart became sour like the twisting axle: "This axle is time to be oiled..."
…………
"I became someone's maid and I got my salary. I could also learn to do needlework. When I saved the money, I would come back to find my brother. If my brother had nothing to do at that time, I would be an acupuncture mother to support him!"
Green grass and big trees appeared on both sides, and the car had already driven away.
Niu Niu was still lying on the window, and the tears on her cheeks had not dried up, so she quietly made plans for the future.
Suddenly, she thought of a question that made her panic: "Are my brother still in Guangzhou at that time?"
Then he thought, "Brother is not in Guangzhou Prefecture, where can he go?" Only then did the little heart feel at ease again.
Ah Chou stood at the intersection, trying hard to open his swollen and bruised eyes, and stared in the direction where the car left.
He knew that his choice was correct. He was too young to protect Niu Niu, just like he watched his sister beheaded by someone but had no ability to take revenge. If the little wolf found him, he might not be as lucky as last time. This is a good opportunity for Niu Niu to change her fate.
But when Niu Niu left, his heart became empty. When Niu Niu left, he had no relatives. He didn't know how to go next. Should he still be a beggar after several years? If that were the case, would he still go to find Niu Niu?
"etc……"
A Chou suddenly woke up. He knew that the man-wearing woman must be a person of noble status, so he was not worried that A Mei was abducted by "slightly selling people". But in a hurry, he forgot to ask the other party's identity and residence. If he could make some appearances in the future, how could he find A Mei?
In desperation, Ah Chou subconsciously chased the car in the direction where the car disappeared...
On the crossroads, A Chou stood in a daze, and he had no idea where the car had gone. A Chou thought to himself: "If I have always been a beggar who is not promising, why bother her? If I have promising, even if I am not worthy of talking to Governor Lu, I would be fine to ask him about a noble man’s mansion he knows, right?"
As Ah Chou was thinking, he felt like a thunder was blowing out of thin air in his ears, and a thunderous voice shouted: "Young man, can you tell where the Guangzhou Governor's Office is?"
