Who makes you run easily from tea stall? That is I holds the Hao father in street to look to you, is not very easy.” “什么？谁让你轻易就从茶棚里跑出来的？那可是我托街头的郝老爹给你找的呀,很不容易的。” „This, mother, I knows, but......” “这个,娘亲,我知道,可……” „Does not have what, but, your courage may be really big, everyone can believe that others must deceive you, how can you make mother live?” “没什么可是的,你胆子可真大,谁都敢相信呀,别人要把你骗了,你可让娘亲怎么活呀？” „Mother, this young master is very good, and...... Moreover, the storekeeper of tea stall has not made me again.” “娘亲,这个少爷真的很好,而且……而且,茶棚的掌柜已经不让我再去了。” „Oh, you, Xiaohua, how does not make mother be free from worry.” “唉,你呀,小花,怎么就不让娘亲省心呀。” Then, struggles to from the bed, Ji Xiaohua hurries to go forward to support, said: „Mother, you are resting, I feed you to eat the steamed stuffed bun.” 说完,挣扎着要从床上起来,姬小花赶紧上前扶住,道:“娘亲,您歇着吧,我喂您吃包子。” The Ji Xiaohua mother cannot smile bitterly, said: „You, Xiaohua, how cannot grow up.” 姬小花的娘亲苦笑不得,说道:“你呀,小花,怎么就长不大。” „How? Mother” Ji Xiaohua is very puzzled. “怎么了？娘亲”姬小花很是不解。 The Ji Xiaohua mother loves sees own son, just nine -year-old son, knows that he is very weak, explains: „Others are the young master of wealthy and powerful family, comes to our home, gives back to our thing to eat, one side must see, thanks others, and......” 姬小花的娘亲疼爱的看着自己的儿子,刚刚九岁的儿子,知道他还很幼稚,解释道:“人家是大户的少爷,都来咱们家,还给咱们东西吃,怎么也得见一面,谢谢人家,而且……” Stopped, then said: „Is a stranger, mother also sees after all, do not let the person deceiving.” 停了一下,接着说道:“总归是个陌生人,娘亲也见一下,别让人给骗了。” Ji Xiaohua sensible nods , helping mother with outside garment, with the shoes, holds mother to go out of the room. 姬小花懂事的点头,帮娘亲拿外衫,拿鞋子,扶着娘亲走出屋子。 Zhang Xiaohua sees the person to come out, hurries to go forward, wants to salute, that female first salutes saying: „This young master, your humble wife Zhang saluted upon meeting to the young master.” 张小花见人出来,赶紧上前,想要施礼,那女子抢先施礼道:“这位少爷,贱妾张氏给少爷见礼了。” Zhang Xiaohua hurries to return salute, said: „Aunt, does not use politely, your is not healthy, is resting in the room.” 张小花赶紧还礼,道:“大婶,不用客气,您身体不好,还是在屋里歇着吧。” Zhang is also 30 years old, but the hair was gray, at first sight comes up, several years ago was older than Guo Sufei, no wonder Zhang Xiaohua came up to call the aunt, he does not know actually at once called anything's good. 张氏也就是30来岁,可头发都已经花白,乍看上去,比前几年的郭素菲都要老,也怪不得张小花一上来就叫大婶,他其实一时之间也不知叫什么的好。 Zhang forced smile said: „Young master, you leave this, your humble wife cannot take on, cry Zhang is good.” 张氏苦笑道:“少爷,您别这样,贱妾担当不起,叫声张氏就好。” Saying, is several coughs. 说着,又是几声咳嗽。 Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: „That calls Ms. Zhang good.” 张小花笑道:“那还是叫张嫂的好吧。” Zhang called continually does not dare, then sized up Zhang Xiaohua carefully, wants to say at heart secretly: „Un, the good young master, is very amiable, without a Young Master stance, looks at a long gown, in loosen Ningcheng is alone one . Moreover, looks like the feature is very genial, does not see a gloom, looks that is makes people relieved.” 张氏连称不敢,然后仔细打量张小花,心里暗自想道:“嗯,不错的少爷,很是平易近人,没有一点公子的架势,看着一身的长袍,在松宁城是独一份,而且,看起来眉目很是和善,不见一丝阴暗,看着就是让人放心的。” Nonsense, this guy book is the good countryside youngster, how to have the scruples in Zhang heart? 废话嘛,这厮本就是善良的乡下少年,怎么会有张氏心中的顾忌？ Zhang cough a while, said: „Does not know that what the young master does want to make Xiaohua help you make? If facilitated to be able your humble wife to tell?” 张氏咳嗽一会儿,说道:“不知道少爷想让小花帮您做些什么？若是方便能跟贱妾说下么？” Zhang Xiaohua is listening to „Xiaohua” two characters, both strange and familiar, said with a smile: „Does not have anything, Ms. Zhang, I am people from other place, had almost been deceived in Ji Xiaohua that tea stall a moment ago, but also had been lucky Ji Xiaohua reminder, I think, perhaps I will bump into anything to trouble in this Songning Town management, this temporarily wants to ask a native to guide , helping to chop to negotiate, do not let the person deceive me, I look at Ji Xiaohua am very smart , the duty, wants to make him help me, but, but also harms him by resigning of tea storekeeper, you could rest assured that I will compensate his.” 张小花听着“小花”两个字,既陌生又熟悉,笑道:“也没什么的,张嫂,我是外地人,刚才在姬小花的那个茶棚中就差点被人骗了,还多亏了姬小花提醒,我想,我一人在这松宁镇办事说不定会碰到什么麻烦,这才临时想找个当地人带路,帮着砍砍价,别让人骗我罢了,我看姬小花很是机灵,也本份,就想让他帮我,不过,还害得他被茶掌柜的辞掉,您放心,我会补偿他的。” Zhang Xiaohua Ji Xiaohua, „Xiaohua” two characters, he says in any event. 张小花一口一个姬小花,“小花”两个字,他无论如何都是说不出口的。 Zhang listened, a stone fell to the ground, cough said: „Such being the case, lets Xiaohua with young master several days, but, matter of compensation let alone, since helps the young master, that can only take young master that money, this Xiaohua should understand.” 张氏听了,一块石头落了地,边咳嗽边说:“既然如此,就让小花跟少爷几天,不过,补偿的事情就别说了,既然帮少爷,那就只能拿少爷那份钱,这个小花应该明白的。” Zhang Xiaohua beckons with the hand saying: „Might as well, Ms. Zhang, actually, is helps me buy a horse, inquired that a matter, in less than several days, quite a while is it is estimated that good.” 张小花摆手道:“无妨的,张嫂,其实,也就是帮我买匹马,打听一点事情罢了,用不了几天,估计半天就好的。” The Zhang look is invariable, nearby Ji Xiaohua disappointed, he is also thinking makes several money, on this day, but 11 articles. 张氏神色不变,旁边的姬小花可是大为失望的,他还想着多挣几个钱呢,这一天,不过才11文罢了。 Zhang turns head to say to Ji Xiaohua: „Xiaohua, goes to the young master to handle matters, many points of minds, do not let the person deceiving, quick returns quickly.” 张氏回头对姬小花道:“小花,去跟着少爷办事,多点心眼儿,别让人给骗了啊,快去快回。” Ji Xiaohua selects nods, stands side Zhang Xiaohua. 姬小花点点头,站在张小花身边。 After Zhang Xiaohua Zhang salutes, bringing Ji Xiaohua to go out of the yard. 张小花给张氏施礼后,带着姬小花走出了小院。 Goes out of the yard time, Ji Xiaohua turns head to shout specially: „Good that mother, that steamed stuffed bun eats before it's too late, was right, first eats vegetable-stuffed steamed bun, then eats the meat dumpling.” 走出小院的时候,姬小花特意回头喊道:“娘亲,那包子趁热吃的好,对了,先吃个菜包子,再吃肉包子啊。” Zhang is coughing, smiles nods, but footsteps where nuo half inch? 张氏咳嗽着,笑着点头,可脚步哪里梛了半寸？ Left the Ji Xiaohua family/home, a Zhang Xiaohua First matter is makes him bring itself to arrive at the tailor shop, has bought one very ordinary clothes, puts on outside, that is, appointed who has worn very unusual clothes, some where arrives at people to stare was looking, he can First Time look for the ordinary clothes replace. 出了姬小花的家,张小花第一件事就是让他带自己到成衣铺,买了一套很普通的衣服,穿在外面,那是,任谁穿了很奇特的衣服,走到哪里都有人盯着看,他都会第一时间找普通的衣服替换。 However, Zhang Xiaohua winter and summer had not invaded, that Black long gown obviously is the good thing, he took has given up to take off, but put on inside. 不过,张小花本来就已经寒暑不侵的,那黑色长袍明显就是好东西,他拿了舍得脱下,不过是穿在里面罢了。 As the saying goes, person by clothes horse Kaoan. 俗话说的好,人靠衣服马靠鞍。 Zhang Xiaohua this changes ordinary clothes, is immediately ordinarier, did not have that young master's flavor/smell, Ji Xiaohua to say in side again: „Young master, you may be really fierce, this changes the clothes, sees likely is an average person, was not a young master.” 张小花这一换上普通的衣服,立刻就普通了许多,再也没有那种少爷的味道,姬小花在旁边赞道:“少爷,您可真厉害,这一换上衣服,怎么看都像是个普通人,不是个少爷了。” Zhang Xiaohua curls the lip, said in secret: „This is not the idle talk, is not the looks like, is an average person, any young master who where comes.” 张小花撇撇嘴,暗中说道:“这不是废话嘛,不是像,本来就是一个普通人,哪里来的什么少爷啊。” Changes the clothes, really the effect is tangible, above the avenue, nobody looked again these two ordinary young person who somewhat falls the dregs. 换完衣服,果然效果明显,大街之上,再也没有人看这两个普通的都有些掉渣的年轻人了。 Zhang Xiaohua they arrive at the mule city choice horses time, is nobody responds. 就连张小花他们来到骡马市挑选马匹的时候,也是没人搭理的。 Is good because of Ji Xiaohua is the native, to here is very familiar, not long afterwards, helped to look for a prestige quite good shop, the waiter was common to two people manner, many discrimination, this has not let Zhang Xiaohua is very satisfied, was only, when the choice horses, were make the shop waiter very discontented. 好在姬小花是当地人,对这里很是熟悉,不多时,就帮着找了一家声誉相当好的店铺,伙计对两人态度一般,并没有过多的歧视,这让张小花已经很是满意了,只是,在挑选马匹的时候,却是让店伙计很是不满。 Why? 为什么呢？ Regardless of the shop waiter recommends any horses, that character is high, looks like is very the common young person, shakes the head, continually approaches one step not to walk, continually looked at eight horses, is tired the shop waiter to be unbearable, side stands is preparing Ji Xiaohua that helps to negotiate is also the doubts of whole face. 不论店伙计推荐什么马匹,那个字高高的,看起来很是不起眼的年轻人,都是摇头,就是连走近一步都是不走的,一连看了八匹马,累得店伙计够呛,就连旁边站着准备帮忙砍价的姬小花也是满脸的疑惑。 Finally, shop waiter does not do, asked: „This brothers, you are disturb, buys the horse? I have pulled eight horses, you looked that did not say good, walks without rest has not approached, how you know that doesn't gather your opinion?” 最后,店伙计不干了,问道:“这位兄弟,你到底是来捣乱的,还是来买马的？我都牵了八匹马,你就看一眼就说不行,连走都没走近,你怎么知道就不合你意呢？” Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: „It is not I am unforgettable you, these horses are actually inappropriate, the horses that I want are not the common horses.” 张小花微笑道:“不是我难忘你,这些马匹却是不合适的,我要的马匹不是一般的马匹。” The shop waiter was wonderful, said: „It is not the common flatter, what appearance that should be?” 店伙计奇了,道:“不是一般的马屁,那应该是什么样子的呢？” Thinks, Zhang Xiaohua said: „That that should be able to carry a heavy load of specially.” 想了想,张小花道:“应该是特别能负重的那种吧。” „Carries a heavy load?” The shop waiter has gawked, said: „Probably multiple?” “负重？”店伙计愣了,道:“大概是多重呢？” „, 3,000-4,000 jin (0.5 kg).” “哦,三四千斤吧。” „What? Aren't 3,000-4,000 jin (0.5 kg), 300-400 jin (0.5 kg)?” Shop waiter inconceivable say/way: „You have not spoken incorrectly.” “什么？三四千斤,不是三四百斤？”店伙计不可思议道:“你没说错吧。” The Zhang Xiaohua forced smile said: „Yes, is thousand jin (0.5 kg), is not hundred jin (0.5 kg).” 张小花苦笑道:“是的,是千斤,不是百斤。” The shop waiter swings looks like the rattle-drum, said: „This is impossible, I have not heard, the horse can drag 3,000-4,000 jin (0.5 kg) thing, what you want is the cow, no, the camel in legend.” 店伙计把头摇得像拨浪鼓,道:“这不可能,我从来没听说过,马能拖三四千斤的东西,你要的是牛吧,哦,不,传说中的骆驼吧。” Side is standing Ji Xiaohua somewhat understood at this time actually, looking pensive looks at Long Sword in Zhang Xiaohua hand. 旁边站着的姬小花这时倒是有些明白了,若有所思的看着张小花手中的长剑。 The shop waiter only considers Zhang Xiaohua to lie he, no longer is careful, must call other guests, Ji Xiaohua hurries to go forward, said grinningly: „Big Brother do not misunderstand, my family young master is actually the somewhat special request, or will not seek in your this shop, yes, you look at your family/home storekeepers in? Perhaps his some ideas?” 店伙计只当是张小花诳他,也不再上心,就要去招呼其他客人,姬小花赶紧上前,笑嘻嘻道:“大哥别误会,我家少爷却是有些特殊的要求,要不也不会寻到您这店中,是吧,您看您家掌柜的是否在呢？也许他老人家有些主意？” Ji Xiaohua is young, in shop waiter eyes clearly is a clever book child young male servant, hesitates slightly, entered the inside room, not long afterwards, is big from inside coming out children, the strong robust man, the knitting the brows head, high and low sizes up at present very common Zhang Xiaohua, asked: „This young master? The horses that you want in staying at an inn really do not have, or do you visit other horse stable again?” 姬小花年纪不大,在店伙计眼中分明就是一个伶俐的书童小厮,略微沉吟一下,就进了里屋,不多时,从里面出来一个个子高大,膀大腰圆的壮汉,皱皱眉头,上下打量眼前很不起眼的张小花,问道:“这位少爷？您要的马匹在下店中实在没有,要不您再到别的马房看看？” Zhang Xiaohua thinks, cups one hand in the other across the chest saying: „That is really troubles the storekeeper, was right, whether to let below have a look at your here best horses?” 张小花想了想,拱手道:“那实在是麻烦掌柜的了,对了,可否让在下看看您这里最好的马匹呢？” „This......” that robust man somewhat hesitates. “这个……”那壮汉有些犹豫。 Ji Xiaohua said with a smile: „Storekeeper not feared, if has gathered my family young master's intent, enjoys the silver to have your. Has pulled quickly!” 姬小花笑道:“掌柜的莫怕,若是合了我家少爷的意,赏银少不了你的。快去牵了来！” Zhang Xiaohua listened, understands that the meaning of storekeeper, wants to put out the paper money from Pouch to the storekeeper looked, but he does not know that best horses how many silver(money), oneself rashly that paper money comes out, if has been short, to fall the face very much? Sees Ji Xiaohua to deal with so calm, purses the lips, smiles does not speak. 张小花听了,也明白掌柜的意思,本想从钱袋中拿出银票给掌柜的看,可他并不知道那最好的马匹到底多少银子,自己贸然那银票出来,若是少了,岂不是很跌面子？见姬小花应付的如此从容,也就抿着嘴,微笑不说话。 Robust man hesitant, said with a smile: „Might as well, but looks at one, this young master, please, please follow below to the following view.” 壮汉犹豫一下,笑道:“无妨,不过是看一眼,这位少爷,请,请跟在下到后面一观。” Zhang Xiaohua satisfied looked at Ji Xiaohua, arrived with the robust man behind. 张小花满意的看了姬小花,跟着壮汉就来到了后面。 How many small corridors has transferred, entered a big courtyard, drills to look, in this courtyard none who does not has dozens high big horse? This knowledge horse cannot use Divine Consciousness, otherwise has Zhang Xiaohua swept it? 转过几个小的过道,进了一个大大的院落,打眼看去,这个院落中莫不有几十匹的高头大马？只是,这识马也不能用神识,否则张小花岂不是一扫了之的？ While Zhang Xiaohua accepts, the robust man turns head saying: „Young master please come along with me.” 正当张小花应接不暇的时候,那壮汉回头道:“少爷请随我来。” Then, before bringing Zhang Xiaohua is arriving at a horse stable in Xiang Yang corner, sees only that side the horse stable to tie up big attractive Brownish-Red Horse, Zhang Xiaohua, although does not understand to know the horse, but his also probably one eyes can see a quality. 说完,带着张小花来到向阳角落中的一个马棚前,只见马棚那边正拴着一个高大漂亮的枣红马,张小花虽然不懂得识马,可他也大概一眼能看出点好坏。 This Ma Ming obviously with shop waiter pulled a moment ago in the past not in a scale. 这马明显跟刚才店伙计牵过去的就不在一个档次。
