Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

Add a tender egg with sugar, red, yellow, green and white, but it is also very beautiful.

The noodles were ready, and she had eaten them for breakfast. Pan Jinlian found out a pair of lotus-colored jacket with two breasts and a white cotton pleated skirt. Be tied up, barely considered a Republic of China hairstyle.No matter how complicated she was, she really didn't know how to comb. She picked up a white silk handkerchief from the dowry, wrapped some copper plates, and went out leisurely.

The folk customs here are simple and simple, and the home of Wuhan University is facing the street. There are old people and children in many shops and corridors of houses, so they never lock the door when they go out. So Pan Jinlian just hung up the lock and walked out along the market.

The Northern Song Dynasty was also a prosperous era in history. Yanggu County is just a small county town, but it is also very lively.Out of the alley, you can see the high and low wine fronts moving in the wind in the distance, and the golden lacquer plaques are hung on the buildings with carved beams and painted columns, which is antique.Vegetable sellers, fish sellers, meat sellers, and cooked food sellers all put their stalls on both sides of the street. Some of them carried shoulder poles and shook flower drums to sell needles and thread brains. There were also many shops full of goods. .

The scene of watching Water Margin on TV suddenly popped up in Pan Jinlian's mind, and she couldn't help but want to sing two voices and roar at the sight of injustice, but she held back.She went to the street to pick up a few daily necessities, and negotiated the price fiercely with the merchants, so she knew the prices here in her heart.Accountants are always very sensitive to numbers, so Pan Jinlian just walked around and then walked back—there seemed to be too many eyes looking at her.

I knew that Pan Jinlian was beautiful, but the bronze mirror was not clear at all, and even she herself didn't understand what the famous Pan's Jinlian—that is, herself, looks like now, but according to the current rate of turning heads of passers-by Look, it's good.It is natural for a woman to love beauty, even housewives are no exception, Pan Jinlian has some beauty in her heart.

"This, isn't Master Wu's new wife?"

A voice from the side pulled Pan Jinlian back to reality from the bubble of fantasy.

"you are?"

Pan Jinlian was sure that neither she nor the previous righteous master had ever seen such a modern old lady - she had a face of pine bark, but she insisted on smearing it like a white chrysanthemum, so she turned into a piece of white dough on top of her face. An eerie image of the big red camellia.

Bai Chrysanthemum grinned, revealing two missing teeth:

"I'm the Wang Po who runs a tea house next door to your house, or did I help you in?"

"Oh, Mama Wang."

With a sudden shock, Pan Jinlian opened her eyes wide and looked at Grandma Bai Juhua. Could this be that Wang Po?The insurance media Laxian introduced the original Pan Jinlian to Ximen Qing's sturdy old lady?

"Hey, isn't it just me? Back then I knew that this bride was beautiful, but it was a pity that she married someone like Wuhan University. Now that I see it, I feel wronged for you. Why did such a good girl end up like this? Come, come to me Sit down and talk to me."

Wang Po is a self-acquaintance, she dragged Pan Jinlian into her own tea house, the place is not big, and it was cleaned neatly, but there was a musty smell.

"Wait, I'll pour you tea."

Pan Jinlian sat on the stool and looked at the princess curiously, not knowing what to say.

Seeing her sitting there blankly, Wang Po thought that she was shy as a new daughter-in-law, so she took her hand and said with a smile:

"We will all be neighbors from now on, so don't see outsiders, just treat me as your natal family. I helped cook the banquet on the day you got married. Look at your handsome appearance and attire. Could it be that you came from a rich family? ?”

"Mom was joking. I'm just a poor woman with no father and no mother. I can't have anything to do with a big family. But thanks to God's blessing, I have a decent face. Since my mother loves me, can you tell me Speaking of the world economy, I am new here, and I don’t understand it.”

Seeing the white powder on Wang Po's face, Pan Jinlian wanted to laugh, but pinched her thigh with one hand and held back.These three aunts and six wives should not be underestimated. They are the birthplace of gossip news, and they are also the price list and weathervane of activities.

Wang Po slightly raised her drooping triangular eyes, just as Pan Jinlian let herself be entangled, she hurriedly smiled and gesticulated for her.It turns out that the price here is also very cheap. Vegetables are a few cents a catty, and rice noodles and grains vary from forty to one hundred. Dozens of taels of gold as a tribute silkworm brocade, each has its own market, but the latter has nothing to do with the common people—according to the Wang Po, she is only seen in the concubine's favorite room of the county lord I used to get a small handkerchief from the palace, but it didn’t look like much—the rest was the snacks at the foot shop, each of which cost only a few pennies, such as steamed lamb and plums. Roasted meat, steamed crab paste, etc. are only a dozen yuan, and Wuhan University’s cooking cakes are indeed clearly priced at five yuan each.

"I see that there are quite a few taverns here, how much is the wine?"

Pan Jinlian rolled her eyes, and suddenly a thought flashed through her, and she asked with a smile.

"Oh, that's hard to say. Salt and wine are things controlled by the government. Bootleggers are not allowed to sell for miles around the big mansion in the big state. We have to go to the yamen to register and pay taxes when buying wine in small places here. But there are also people in private. Sneaky selling is also done without prosecution by the public, if the wine sold in the tavern is divided into small wine and big wine, each has a distinct grade, ranging from a few pennies to a few hundred pennies."

Wang Po shook her handkerchief and looked outside the door, as if she had done something wrong, she pulled Pan Jinlian and secretly laughed,

"That's you. If it's someone else, I won't tell him. Master Wu, if you have anything to do, just come to me. I will help if I can. But the house opposite your door is a little widow, a broom star. My husband Ke died, and I didn't even have a son left behind. No, I stayed there alone, and I didn't go out, I don't know what kind of dirty tricks I was doing."

Pan Jinlian looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, she saw that the opposite door was closed, and there was a quiet person as if no one lived at all.

3 siblings

Returning to the Wu family with a pack of saponins, chopsticks, dishes, preserved plums and a small bag of white rice from Wang Po, it was already getting late.Pan Jinlian put the things back in place, and then looked around, but she didn't find any pens, inks, papers and inkstones.I had to sit at the window and watch the passers-by in a daze, but I was thinking about many things. I was new here, so I couldn't help but not understand the secular customs here.So it is right to live in the family of the Wu family. Although there is a suspicion of occupying the latrine, but this latrine can be regarded as an antique level. It is estimated that it will be difficult to deliver it to the door in the near future, so forget it.

It's just that people's mouths are short and their hands are soft, so they can't always live on this dowry.The greatest skill of this rightful master, Pan Jinlian, is to serve others, and she can no longer be used to look down on others and act with winks.As for her [-]-odd years of study in her previous life, she actually knew how to make a fake account——Pan Jinlian suddenly felt a sense of desolation in front of her eyes, the education system had killed a person.

However, thanks to the blessing of being a freelancer in her previous life, she recalled that she once worked as a part-time accountant for a winery for a period of time. Under the leadership of the factory manager, she watched all the wine production processes, and even worked with the workers Although industrialized production is different from the current small workshops, it remains the same. Perhaps, I can write some articles on it.

After thinking for a long time, I finally saw some light, and my stomach started to growl.She went downstairs slowly, washed the fresh vegetables she had bought, and made four dishes - sliced ​​chicken with hibiscus, scrambled eggs with cucumber and fungus, braised tofu in soy sauce, assorted soup with bamboo shoots and mushrooms, all of which were Plain dishes, steamed a pot of rice, set it up, and waited for the head of the household to come home.

Sure enough, when the sky was getting dark, there was a noise at the door. Wu Da came into the house with a burden of cooking cakes, and asked about the fragrance, and was about to say a few words of praise, when he remembered Pan Jinlian's miserable death with a boning knife yesterday. He looked like this, swallowed his saliva, and suppressed all the words in his mouth.

"Brother, come and eat, I have a lot to say to you."

Pan Jinlian smiled slightly and served him a bowl of white rice. The chopsticks in her hand made a musical sound, which was very pleasing to the ear.Wu Da hurriedly nodded, wiped the cold sweat off his brow and went to the table, grabbed the bowl and began to chop the rice.

Seeing him wolfing down like seeing a ghost, Pan Jinlian couldn't help but chuckle, picked up the untouched food from the side of the plate and ate it, filled another bowl of soup and drank it slowly, and asked:

"Finished?"

"It's over, it's over."

Wu Da quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and nodded vigorously.Pan Jinlian put down the soup bowl, took all the dishes on the table to the kitchen, washed her hands and returned to the main room, knocked on the table:

"Sit down, let me tell you something."

"what?"

Wuhan University was extremely hesitant, and put its butt against the edge of the stool, ready to run away at any time.Pan Jinlian generously sat on the chair opposite and poured tea for the two of them.

"I know you feel wronged, brother. After all, it's not a glorious thing to marry a woman who fights with you all day long, isn't it? It's just that you have to think for me, brother, all women always have to rush , although I have a bad background, I was sold to Zhang Dahu's house to be a girl, but I also want to find someone who knows the cold and the hot to live a good life, but the eldest brother is not the person in my heart. I hope you can forgive me, I I won’t pay you here.”

As he spoke, he saluted politely, which made Wuhan University puzzled.
