Chapter 90 Leisurely
Although she is a modern person, unfortunately, Du Bai has never studied the method of making porcelain, and she cannot help reduce her burden.
At this time, looking at the busy people around him, he looked even more like a little white-faced looking waiting for a soft meal, which felt a little strange.
Fortunately, Du Bai didn't care about other people's gazes. In these days, he spent a while of exercise and practicing calligraphy every day. In the remaining free time, he would take Ying'er out for a walk when the weather was shining.
After all, after coming to this world, I have never visited Yuanyang City several times.
Yuanyang City is not a big city after all, and there are not many fun places. But there are always teahouses and restaurants, and there are occasionally stories about storytellers telling some old stories, and there are also theaters built by theaters that travel around the world.
Speaking of this theater, it is not available every day, and it can only be seen every few days. At that time, the stage set up by the opera troupe will always be filled with ordinary people watching the fun. They spend money to buy peanuts and melon seeds. Whether standing or sitting, they will not affect their leisure and elegance. While chatting, they are quite interested in watching the stage performing "Yiyayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya
Du Bai read it twice. To be honest, the script is not interesting. Even if the new book comes out, it is probably a routine for honest officials to make a secret case. The scholars come to Beijing to take the exam when they meet Americans. In addition, the singers and actresses on stage are not very outstanding in singing, so they probably just listen to the excitement.
However, this listening environment adds a bit of fun, and there is no other cheap and interesting place in this era, so many families who don’t have much money in their pockets will come to listen.
In addition, there are also casinos and brothels that have been mentioned before, and there are also places of popular fireworks such as casinos and brothels.
Du Bai did not go in to see the fun of these places. In any case, he was also the son-in-law of the Su family, and he always felt something was wrong when he entered these places. Although in this era, he would not blame men for their romantic affair, he even saw men from the Liu family who had wives and concubines entering and leaving the brothel.
Unlike brothels, there is also a place called a pleasure boat. It is rare to see it during the day. At night, it will stop by the river. The lights are brightly lit, and there are often musical instruments playing and poems are heard, which is quite lively.
According to his understanding, it is probably a more advanced and elegant place than brothels. It attracts many literary talents and talents to go there, and the expenses are naturally higher, which makes the money-scared guys can only be discouraged.
The women in the pleasure boat are even more exquisite and charming, and most of them are talented women who are not good at writing and poetry. They may not be able to get good sentences often, but being able to match the scholars who like to recite poems can also make them happy and add a little value.
Naturally, there are so-called courtesans here, and they are the best among women with both talent and color. The courtesan selection is also a big event every year, with a huge momentum. It is said that in previous years, some people spent a lot of money to compete for a courtesan. Unfortunately, Du Bai probably didn’t have the opportunity to see the courtesan’s style.
Although Su Wanmiao once mentioned that she was not against Du Bai going to the pleasure boat and communicating with those talented men, the poem he gave her at that time still left a deep impression on her.
Although she did not understand poetry very well, judging by her knowledge, this poem should be no less than those so-called talents. In this era, scholars and talents were still respected by the people as pillars of the country. Although her husband joined the Su family as a son-in-law, his talent should not be limited to this.
But he was not what he liked to get together with those literary literati and racked his brains to write poems in order to compete for the so-called courtesan's eyes.
In comparison, he prefers to take Ying'er to wander in the street market and try out special snacks one by one. Whether it is skewers or desserts, they all have a unique flavor of the world, which makes him feel very feasted.
For example, Du Bai was sitting carelessly at an open-air snack stall, waiting for the stall owner to serve him. Ying'er, who accompanied him, sat restlessly opposite the table, blinking her big eyes, and couldn't help but whisper: "Son-in-law, do we really want to eat here? There is a restaurant there, why not go there..."
She pointed to a restaurant in the corner of the street, with people coming and going, and business booming.
Du Bai laughed silently and shook his head slightly and said, "Ying'er, don't look down on these small vendors. Although their skills are different from those chefs, they have an authentic flavor. This is something that is not comparable to those restaurants."
He suddenly remembered the long-lost memory of himself on the earth.
Since I came to this world, the memory of that world has slowly been covered with a layer of mist, becoming somewhat illusory and unreal.
At that time, he was just a little white-collar worker and his favorite thing after get off work was to ask two friends to sit at the barbecue stall on the street, drinking a big mouthful of beer and eating skewers, while scolding his boss today for being so silly. Occasionally, he would be full of doubts and disconfidence about the unknown future, but he would be thrown aside by the rush of alcohol!
Only at that time can he have fun with his friends regardless of the endless mortgage loans, car loans and the responsibilities of starting a family and starting a business.
He once joked at that time, "When will a rich woman come to support me? I don't want to fight at all, I just want to live a life of silence!"
Who knew that after waking up and traveling through time, I inexplicably fulfilled this almost impossible dream. The only pity is that I will never see my parents again, nor those close friends...
Thinking of this, there was a little bit of unspeakable melancholy in his heart. He picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip. The faint smell of wine gradually dissipated his sorrow.
Ying'er didn't know about Du Bai's psychological changes. She just saw him picking up the wine glass, and couldn't help but say nervously and seriously: "Son-in-law, the doctor said you'd better drink less..."
Du Bai smiled when he heard this, put down the wine glass, reached out and rubbed the little girl's head gently, messing her hair and causing her to blush her little face and complain in a low voice.
"Son-in-law hates..."
Du Bai withdrew his hand and felt a little touched.
Yet, no matter which world you are in, the responsibility you should have is always indispensable.
On earth, it is his responsibility to have a mortgage, a car loan, marry and have children. In this world, he will continue to live as Du Bai, treat those who treat themselves well, and punish those who have malicious intentions towards him. It may be his responsibility to find a place to live in this world where ghosts roam.
