FH Chapter 42:
封口费
[Hush Fee]
“Sis, we live in the mountains, so why buy a carpet?”
Li Jin Hu scratched his head, sweating over his big sister’s speed of spending silver, fearing that Big Brother Xiao would feel that Li Haitang spent a lot of money and break a pledge of marriage; break off an engagement.
“Thinking of what (what are you thinking about)?!”
Li Haitang bought very excitedly yet she was splashed with cold water by her little brother, she flicked Li Jin Hu’s forehead, “It’s just that we are living in the mountains, that’s why we need the carpet even more.”
Outside the white snow, sitting inside the room, drinking a pot of wine, stepping on the fluffy carpet, how poetic (so elegant).
“Pfft…”
Someone beside them was choosing a carpet, and hearing the siblings chatting, they immediately snorted.
Who is it, ah? So brainless! Li Haitang angrily glared at the eavesdropper next to her, when she saw the appearance of the visitor, she immediately froze, “You…”
Little Red Peach! Although she only glanced at each other, Li Haitang quickly recognized that this Little Peach Red, richly attired and heavily made-up, her chest was full and bulging, and she didn’t know if it was stuffed with two big white steamed buns.
“How did you recognize me?”
Little Red Peach had specially dressed up before going out, just his dressing, walking with fragrance, bewitching, like a girl in a flower house.
Although the northern land was open, it still, the same, looked down on the sister who sold her body, as he walked on the street, others kept their distance from him with a look of disgust.
“If you don’t make a sound, I definitely won’t recognise you.”
Li Haitang raised his eyebrows, he really couldn’t see that Little Peach Blossom, who had thousands of admirers, was so gossipy, maybe, had some kind of eavesdropping fetish.
Look at people, first look at the eyes, moreover, she, Li Haitang, what kind of person, when she learnt medicine, anatomy is a compulsory subject, through the body frame, bones can deduce the person’s gender, age, these are the most basic ones.
“You are Peach Blossom?”
Little Peach Blossom nodded in understanding, he was popular all over Da Qi, and there were many fans of his theater fans in the North.
“…”
Li Haitang was choked, the first time he had seen such a narcissist. Peach Blossom, look, what a vulgar name! A good man, why did he have to disguised as a woman and even come up with a rich associated and rustic (local) stage name?
“Tomorrow De Quan Ban will open a play at the Fu Xiang Tea House, the stage is not yet set up, I came out to pick up props.”
Little Red Peach made a silent gesture and fumbled for a stamped ticket from her pocket, “This is for you, just pretend you’ve never seen me before.”
Li Haitang hesitated, seeing Li Jin Hu’s eyes glowing, she nodded and took it. This ticket, some people may not be able to buy it even if they break their heads, it didn’t occur to her that she could get it so easily, this is the hush money given to her by Little Peach Red.
“Rest assured, I won’t say anything.”
A theater ticket, one doesn’t watch it oneself, sell it upside down, it’s also a sum of silver money. Li Haitang thought of the shining white flowers of silver, smiled and narrowed her eyes, and bargained, “There are three of us.”
“This is a ticket for the private room.”
Little Peach Red shook her head and explained good-naturedly, originally, Fu Xiang Teahouse reserved the private room for the theater troupe as a rest place but they were also very dedicated, and used to set up scaffolding for make-up preparations in the backyard grounds, so the private room was left empty.
“This is good!”
The private room was hard to find, it was said to be speculated to be thousands of taels of silver, the benefit was that the headcount was not counted, and Li Haitang’s trio, surely, could fit.
“Don’t worry, tomorrow I will definitely go to support the show!”
From the sky fell down a pie, moreover it was their own favorite taste, impossible to not want it, Li Haitang and Xiao Tao (Little Peach) said hello, took Li Jin Hu and left the grocery shop at a rapid pace, he was afraid that the other party would change his mind and ask the tickets back.
