Chapter 167 Monkey Play

The dog head held his mother's hand and looked at the candied haws that sell candied haws not far away. The red candied haws were inserted on the grass mountain he carried, which was very attractive. I heard that it was made of candied and should be very sweet, but unfortunately I had never eaten it. Today, my father went to sell the goods, and after exchange, he promised to give him delicious food. I wonder if he would buy himself a bunch of candied haws. My father didn't know how to buy him before, but his father should do it.

Han Yueniang sat under the shed and picked up a green plum to eat from time to time. She always liked to eat sour things recently, and I don’t know if she is pregnant again.

Shisanlang was in front, squatting on the ground, looking at a man in front of him playing monkeys with enthusiasm. The man didn't know how to tame him. A group of monkeys were holding wooden swords and guns, pretending to be marching. Then he put on a random robe, like a performing opera. He turned over a few somersaults, and pretended to bow to the people, holding a plate to ask for money.

These should be in the tile house. The Yingtianwuya has not been built here, so some people are selling their art on the street. Gradually, such a place has been formed in the open center of the street. People come every now and then, playing tricks and asking for some rewards. People gather, and there are vendors selling goods walking through the ground and selling food. In the teahouse next to them, many people sit there watching. When the business is done, the shopkeeper of the teahouse will buy some fruit for the art market.

He Da carried the load and walked to the center of the street dejectedly. Seeing his wife and son watching monkey show there, he couldn't help but stop and sighed slightly. He finally came to the town and said that he would buy them some food and new clothes. As a result, the goods were not sold, so I didn't know how to speak.

Just as He Da was hesitating, He Sanlang and a few companions turned around from the street and saw He Da, they hurriedly shouted: "Brother He, are you here to sell goods in the town today? Just happened to meet him, and I will send a message to my dad when I go back."

Seeing a few people coming, He Da got a load and said, "Yes, I'm here to sell goods today. Brother Third rests today?"

He Sanlang said: "Today I have a day off. I went out to stroll with a few of them and happened to see my brother."

The wing army, which is in the field affairs, will teach and train for some time every time, usually for one month. Those who are particularly outstanding will select them to form a single army, and will be in the military camp for half a year, which is considered a semi-reserve army. This time, He Da was going to come, but because his wife came back, He Sanlang gave him a place and asked him to accompany his wife and children at home.

He Da’s wife heard the voice list and turned to see He Da standing there. She hurriedly pulled the dog’s head and walked over.

Looking at the load on the ground, the goods inside were still like going out. He Da’s wife asked softly: “Why, haven’t you sold them yet?”

He Da sighed: "The person who received the goods was changed from Ruan Yuanwai to Shi Yuanwai's house. He set new rules and received the goods only in one, three or five days. Unfortunately today. I said I would buy you some food and make a new clothes, so I had to wait for the next time."

After hearing this, Dog Head turned around to look at the candied haws beside him and bit her fingers.

He Sanlang saw it and said, "My brother is so busy that he has no time to do it on weekdays. He finally came here once, how could he go back empty-handed!"

After saying that, he said to his companion around him: "How much did you bring? Take it out and use it for my brother first, I will lend you what I want to pay it back when I go back."

Several people came out to stroll, but they didn't bring much money. They took it out and gathered a bunch of them, only more than seventy cents. He Sanlang counted it as a bunch and gave it to He Da: "Brother takes it for you first, buy some food for your sister-in-law and nephew. You can't come in vain. You don't have enough money, so you can only make your clothes next time."

Seeing the dog's head, He Sanlang stuffed a few cents into his hand and said, "Go and buy a branch, eat it and take a walk."

The dog head took the money, looked at his father, and then looked at his mother. Seeing them nodded, he quickly went with the money.

The dog head ran away, and He Sanlang said, "Brother, in the past, Ruan Yuanwai, no matter what goods were, they would collect them at any time, so why did it change?"

He Dalian shook his head: "Now he has changed to Shi's family, and Xiaoshu is in charge of this matter. That man is only concerned about his own happiness, so how could he think about others? Also, I used to be a farmer at his family and he was involved in the field stewardship. He has always held a grudge. It is hard to say whether this business can be done in the future. He wants to ruin my business, but when I say that I sue him, he is not afraid, saying that he doesn't even know which yamen is in charge."

He Sanlang said: "I have a brother who is familiar with me. Now I am working in the Yingtianwu Office. I heard from him that this matter has been mentioned. In the past, you received goods from the Yingtianwu Office and everything goes well. Now it is different. It is sold to the Fancheng Shopping Mall under the Changpingsi Office. There is no one here in the Changpingsi Office, so I entrusted it to some shopkeepers. I think it is because of this that Shi Xiaoshou said so."

He Da didn't know that these yamen were in charge of anything. He frowned and said, "In this way, as long as Shi Xiaowai said, I can't do this business? Although I don't make much money, I'm familiar with the path, and it's a pity not to do it."

He Sanlang thought for a while and said, "Why not do this? Let's go to the person who arranged for you to do this before. Although he is a farmer, he will be able to go to Changpingsi and don't tell you anything."

He Da smiled bitterly: "So what? As long as the Shi family receives the goods, I can't do this business after all."

He Sanlang had no choice but to say, "There are two kinds of people in the yamen now. One is the Yingtianxiang Army who came to us, and the other is the local wealthy family. If the Yingtianxiang Army is in charge, I will always have some affection for me, and the local people-"

Speaking of this, He Sanlang shook his head. Although his father He Daocheng was not at a high position, because he was old, many people in the wing army sold him face. He Sanlang could make friends with ordinary middle and lower-level officials. No one paid attention to him in the local new recruits.

The dog head bought candied haws and stood in the crowd to watch the monkey show. He bit one in his mouth, and it felt sweet and slightly sour. He just felt that he had never been so happy. A little monkey put on a robe, wore a tilted head, held a plate, and swayed around to collect money. The dog head looked at the monkey and hesitated for a moment, pinched out a money, and threw it into the monkey's plate.

People around you who watch monkey plays are used to it, and no one gives money at this time. Unless the monkey plays start to pack up and pretend to leave, the people who watch the show will laugh and throw money away. A dog's head throws a piece of money, and a jingle sounds, and many people look at him.

When the monkey showman saw this, he whispered: "Dear viewers, it's not easy for a young man to cross the prefectures and counties. Please give me some rewards. Seeing that a child has rewarded all the money for buying snacks, why do you care about how much money you have!"

Shisanlang looked at the dog's head, shook his head and smiled, "This child is a little stupid, it's too early to pay."

The monkey-playing man saw that everyone still didn't pay, so he asked the little monkey with a plate to come forward, whispered to salute the dog's head, and teased him in every way. This was a means of asking for rewards. On the one hand, flattering the person who gave money, and on the other hand, making others impatient and paying out the money.

Unexpectedly, the monkey gave a few bows to the dog's head, and suddenly threw the plate and snatched the candied haws in the dog's head. He ran to the corner far away from the owner, biting a few candied haws. It seemed too sweet, so he threw them on the ground. When the other little monkeys saw it, they rushed up to grab them.

There was a scramble in the field, and while playing with monkeys, pounding the gong in their hands, intimidating. Several monkeys were used to this scene, jumping and robbing candied haws to eat, and hiding from their owners' whip everywhere.

Everyone watched it and laughed together. When they watched the monkey show, what they wanted to see most was that when the owner lost control, it was much more interesting than the monkey's play.

The dog head was stunned for a moment. When he realized that his candied haws had been eaten by several monkeys, leaving only a bamboo stick. Looking at the chaotic scene, the dog head was at a loss and cried out.

He said annoyedly, "This child is still crying. If it weren't for you, how could these beasts be in chaos!"

The dog head snorted and said, "My father didn't get any money today. He borrowed a few cents to buy food for me, but you snatched it away! I'm so old that I ate these things for the first time, and I'll eat a little bit!"
