Mrs. Geng always had a faint smile. In the past, when these people came to the door to complain about poverty, she would always come forward to give them some money to relieve them.
But now she sat still at all, then slowly sipped her tea and said: "Life will get better! Just take your time. We also came through this kind of time in the past. It will be fine when we get over it!" "
The corner of the patriarch's wife's mouth twitched, she looked at Mrs. Geng carefully and said:
"I apologized to the head of my family for what happened yesterday. In fact, he meant what he said but didn't mean it.
And yet! He also wants to train the younger members of his clan, that's why he talks so seriously, don't take it to heart.
He was always very upset afterwards, but he just couldn't bear to apologize to you. "
The family was almost at a loss to open the pot, and the patriarch’s wife could only look down and beg Mrs. Geng.
Mrs. Geng smiled lightly and said:
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, what's this big deal? Having said that, I also have a clan, and my Huang clan is not much worse than the Geng clan.
You reminded me that I have to go back to my parents' home at some point.
It has been so many years since my mother's family came home and I haven't taken a good look at it. "
How should the patriarch’s wife respond to this? After sitting for a long time, Mrs. Geng lost interest and filled the water glass directly. Jiang Qin sent her out directly.
Mrs. Geng said speechlessly:
“The older this person gets, the more shameless he becomes, just because he thinks I’m easy to bully!
I had no choice at that time. The old man was so tolerant to them that they didn't know how high the sky was.
If we hadn't protected our family, how could they have kept more than twenty acres of farmland and so many shops, hehe..."
Fubao was also surprised by the operations of the Geng family. A skinny camel was bigger than a horse. How could they be sure that the Geng family was really in dire straits? How can we be sure that Geng Renbin and Geng Renjie can surpass the Geng family?
Mrs. Geng pinched Fubao's face and said, "Let's go to the overpass today, but the overpass is too lively and there are so many people, so you have to follow closely."
Fu Bao nodded and Mrs. Geng said:
"Today we will go to Tianqiao to play for a day, and tomorrow I will take you to my parents' house.
I really haven’t been back for several years, and I don’t know what happened to the Huang family. "
Fu Bao could also see the longing in Mrs. Geng's eyes, and a group of people walked to the overpass in a car.
Gao Ermao was so excited: "The bridge was quite lively that day, let's see what fun there is."
Commercial markets began to appear on Tianqiao during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and by the Qing Dynasty it had become very prosperous and lively.
Teahouses and wine shops have sprung up, and people who practice martial arts, storytellers, opera singers, and dagu calligraphers are all here. It can be said that it is very lively.
There are so many theaters here, most of which focus on Beijing opera, various folk arts, clapper music and juggling. The main ones are Taixuan Garden, Wanshengxuan, Tianyuan Garden, Kaigui Garden, Xiaotaoyuan and Xiaojixiang Theater. .
Zhou Yao also saw Fu Bao waving to her. Fu Bao smiled and said, "Yao Yao, why are you so early?"
Mrs. Ru was still in good spirits. She smiled and said, "I can't do anything about this skinny monkey. At about five o'clock in the morning, I changed my clothes at home and said I would come to find Fubao."
Zhou Yao took Fubao's hand and said, "Fubao, have you had breakfast? I'll treat you to breakfast. There are plenty of breakfasts here."
Fu Bao quickly said: "I ate it at home..."
"Then let me treat you to some candied haws on a stick!" The candied haws on a stick in Beijing is quite famous.
The candied hawsers are sold in white porcelain plates with glass covers. They are exquisitely made and come in many varieties, including mountain red, white begonia, water chestnut, yam, orange and various candied haws with bean paste, melon seeds and sesame fillings.
Fu Bao was stunned. There were more types of candied haws than there were in later generations!
She asked for oranges and mountain red ones, and tasted them. The taste was really delicious, sour and sweet. After a while, she finished both bunches.
She really wanted to eat, but Huang Wulang didn't allow it: "Do you want to eat all your teeth? Take it easy..."
Fubao didn't say anything. After a while, he heard the loud sound of gongs and drums: "Come on! Take a look at our circus! Various animal performances, don't miss it when you pass by! It only costs 5 yuan. 5 yuan…”
Five yuan is still affordable for people in the capital. There are so many rich people here.
Soon, someone bought a ticket and took them into the best private room. Although it was said to be a private room, it was actually quite simple. The smell inside was particularly strong.
However, Mrs. Geng and Mrs. Ru were not pretentious people. A group of people sat down, which was very close to the stands.
Zhou Yao excitedly pulled Fubao and said:
"I've heard about this circus a long time ago. It's very big, and there are a lot of people coming. There's also a blond guy with his eyes closed. Take a look at it later.
Many of my little sisters have been here years ago, oh my! I heard there are snakes, tigers, bears, and wolves! "
Darling, the variety in this circus is really rich, but it’s still not as good as the wild game in the mountains.
The circus performances started soon. The most famous one in this circus is the Snake Girl, so the opening ceremony is usually the performance of the Vase Girl.
Zhou Yao looked at the girl in the bottle in surprise and said, "Oh my god! How could this happen? Isn't it uncomfortable for her to sit in the bottle all the time? She's so pitiful."
Fu Bao almost spurted out all her milk, she said helplessly:
"How could it be true? If it were true, the vase would have cracked long ago. In fact, she put her chin on the mouth of the vase.
Then use cloth curtains to surround it into a semicircle and cover the edge of the mirror, and a "vase girl" is born.
With the soft lighting, no flaw can be seen at all.
Since the body of the "Vase Girl" is blocked by the mirror, what the audience sees under the head is the reflection of the semicircular curtain from the two mirrors.
It looks like the vase is surrounded by space, and the human head seems to be growing on the vase. "
Zhou Yao pursed her lips and said:
"Isn't that a lie? I thought it was true! But I don't quite understand what you're talking about."
Not to mention Zhou Yao and the two old ladies, they all sounded confused. Mrs. Geng said: "Look at the children who are just over four years old. They know more than us. After all, do we still need to learn culture?"
Mrs. Ru's eyes lit up and she said, "So your Fu Bao likes reading very much?"
"Oh! Why don't you like reading? She reads all kinds of books, and the ones she likes to read the most are medical books. This child is smart, and she usually memorizes them all after reading them once." Mrs. Geng was not stingy with her best friend. praised.
Mrs. Ru looked at Zhou Yao lovingly and said:
"This one in our family is like a child that has not grown up. I am so anxious that I am dying."
Yaoyao, you see how much Fubao loves reading, you should also read more every day, do you understand? "
