Qingtian Town is richer than Fushan Town, with continuous carbon veins and iron ore veins, and at least one-third of the entire Fuzhou economy is driven by Qingtian Town.

The chief officials of the county government of Qingtian Town have risen one after another, and this has simply become a place where officials are gilded.

As soon as you enter the boundary of Qingtian, you can feel the obvious difference, when the sun has set and the sky is slightly dark, the vendors doing small business on both sides of the street still have no signs of closing their stalls, and the pedestrians shopping are still in an endless stream, and what is more interesting is that most of the pedestrians are wearing silk and satin, and they are dressed very richly.

Amber looked at the rise and asked Xiao Wu, who was riding a horse next to him: "It's so lively, is this a big set?"

Bud also lifted the curtain and looked out.

Sure enough, it was very lively.

Xiao Wu's eyes were colorful, "No, it's just a night market." ”

The large market in Fukuyama Town basically only lasts until the afternoon, and when the sun sets on the top of the mountains, the streets are basically empty.

"The big market in our Qingtian Town is much more lively than this, especially at night, because there will be all kinds of lanterns, so there are more people shopping than during the day, and it is more lively than Baitou. ”

It's more lively than this, how lively it is, Amber looked fascinated.

"I'll take you for a walk then. ”

"Good. ”

The little boy should take a bite.

In my memory, every time I came to Xiao's house with my father and mother to deliver New Year's goods, I always came in a hurry, left in a hurry, and only stayed for one night at most, and never visited the big market in Qingtian Town.

The carriage ran over the mottled bluestone road of the main street, all the way south, and went straight to Xiaojiazhuang.

Finally, before dark, I arrived at the gate of Xiao's house.

The old butler Fubo had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw them coming from afar, he hurriedly asked the little servant to go in and report.

"Second young master, you can come back, the old lady and the eldest lady have been talking about you!"

Xiao Wu jumped out of the carriage and shouted happily, "Fu Bo, is the second uncle at home?"

"Yes, yes, I was caught by the old lady, and I don't know how many times I was scolded. Fauber's eyes narrowed into a slit.

Xiao Wu stuck out his tongue, "I'll go in and receive my grandmother's scolding and share the burden for the second uncle." By the way, my mother doesn't know yet, right?"

Fu Bo shook his head, "Second Young Master, don't worry, she doesn't know, she is not in good health, and no one dares to speak in front of her." ”

The carriage stopped, and the uncle who drove the carriage jumped out of the carriage and respectfully called Forber.

Bud Ya and Amber also greeted Fu Bo and were about to get out of the car, but Xiao Wu waved them to stop.

"Don't come down, let the carriage pull it in, it's far to the backyard. Dr. Wei will also go to the backyard with him, and when I see my grandmother, please go and see my mother first. ”

Fu Bo bowed respectfully to the carriage, "Doctor Wei, Miss Cousin, Young Master Cousin, please do it, the old slave is here to drive." ”

With that, he jumped on the wheel and entered the gate.

Xiao Wu stepped on his horse and followed.

Walk past the huge front yard, through the corner gate, along the stone-paved path all the way inward, around the lush rockery pool, then through the carved gate, turn into a path, and stop under the vermilion courtyard gate.

On the plaque in the courtyard, the dragon and the phoenix dance are written a few words: Songhe Courtyard, pen Xiao Li.

This is the courtyard of Mrs. Xiao's Meng, and the inscription is Yaya's maternal grandfather, who used to judge Xiao Li in Liupintong.

Mama Dong, who was beside Mrs. Xiao, led a few little maids to wait on the side for a long time, and when she saw a group of people coming from a distance, she immediately set off to greet her.

"Ouch, my second young master, you can come back, ancestor, I don't think about tea and food these days, I just think about you. ”

Xiao Wu jumped off the horse with a hippie smile, "Mama has also lost weight, but what do you think of it?"

"That's not it!" Mama Dong pulled Xiao Wu to look at it carefully for a while, "Well, it's a little darker, but it's not thin, now the ancestor can rest assured." ”

Turning his head to look at the three people who had just gotten off the carriage, he greeted him warmly, holding Yaya with one hand and Amber with the other. His eyes looked at Wei Wangchu and bowed.

"You're Dr. Wei, right? I've always heard my ancestors talk about you, and now that I finally see you, I can't imagine that it is such a young and handsome descendant, and he is really young and promising. ”

Wei Wangchu bowed slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Mama Dong had always heard that he had a cold temperament, and when she saw that he was alienated, she was just normal and didn't care, so she hurriedly welcomed him in.

"Please come in, come all the way, thank you. ”

"Dr. Wei, please. ”

Xiao Wu led the way in front and led Wei Wangchu inside.

Mama Dong looked up and down at the bud sister and brother.

After almost two years, the two siblings have grown taller, the elder sister is darker, and the younger brother is white.

One wore a pink spring shirt and a horse-faced skirt, and the other wore a navy blue embellishment, both made of muslin, and sat in the carriage for most of the day, looking crumpled.

Sure enough, he was born in a peasant family, and the bigger he became, the more rustic he became.

"Miss Cousin, Young Master Cousin, you are here, the old ancestor has been looking forward to you coming years ago. ”

Bud and Amber obediently called Mama.

"Quick, come in with me and have a look, it's hard to come by carriage all the way, right? Let's drink some water and eat some snacks to rest. ”

The smile on Mama Dong's face remained unchanged, but there was a little more imperceptible arrogance in her eyes.

"Yes, thank you, Mama. ”

Under the leadership of Mama Dong, the two followed Xiao Wu and Wei Wangchu into the courtyard.

There are still no other plants in the yard, only a few pine trees are planted sporadically, and as soon as you enter the courtyard gate, you can smell the smell of rosin.

"Oh, my son—"

Hearing the sound, Mrs. Xiao, dressed in brocade clothes, strode out, followed by a large group of maids and grandmothers.

The old lady grabbed Xiao Wu's arm and slapped him a few times, "Are you still willing to come back?"

"Grandmother, didn't I hurry back?"

Xiao Wu took his grandmother's arm from the girl's hand and supported her, "Ouch, grandmother has lost weight, but I'm not at home, no one cares about you, don't you eat well?"

"You're not thin, you little without a conscience!"

Old Madam Xiao couldn't help but want to chat with her grandson, but when she caught a glimpse of the tall man, she immediately took the conversation back.

With a restrained look, he looked at him solemnly.

"This is Dr. Wei, right?"

Wei Wangchu bowed his head slightly.

Xiao Wudao: "Yes, this is the doctor Wei I invited from Fushan Town to treat my mother, and by the way, let him show you, grandmother?"

Old Madam Xiao looked at Wei Wangchu with a smile on her face.

"Sure enough, people can't look good, if you didn't know in advance that you were Dr. Wei, who was famous for his medical skills in the capital, just seeing you, I thought it was a handsome son-in-law, and I didn't dare to associate you with Dr. Wei. ”

"It's really a hero from ancient times, and the boy is honest and doesn't deceive me,!"

Wei Wangchu said softly: "You praise falsely." ”

Bud squinted and secretly wanted to laugh.

It was the first time she had seen her grandmother praise someone so hard.

But she didn't praise a lot, but the person made half a sentence lightly, which was really embarrassing.

"It's Dr. Wei who is humble, my old woman is at this age, she never lies, she only tells the truth. ”

Seeing that he still didn't want to say more, the old lady said to herself: "Xiao Wu's mother can get you to treat her, which is the blessing she has accumulated over the years by doing good deeds. ”

Wei Wangchu bowed lightly and did not speak.

"Ouch, bud, Amber, I haven't seen you in the blink of an eye for almost two years, have you? ”

I have to say that there is no harm if there is no comparison, and Old Madam Xiao's eyes looking at Wei Wangchu are much hotter than looking at the two of them.

"I've seen my grandmother. ”

The two siblings saluted in unison.

"Hey, okay, get up quickly, grandmother will be rewarded in a while. ”

The old lady was about to touch her tears when she heard a spicy and refreshing sound coming from the gate of the courtyard.

"Ouch, mother, why are you still catching up at the door? Hurry up and invite Dr. Wei, Miss Cousin, and Young Master Cousin into the house to sit and rest, this journey is dusty, but I'm tired." ”

Xiao Second Lady Wang smiled and walked in with Xiao Second Master Xiao Quan, followed by two young ladies in brocade clothes, Xiao Miao'er and Xiao Xiang'er.

Xiao Er's wife Wang is dressed luxuriously as always, wearing a light apricot sprinkled with gold embroidered green bamboo brocade wide-sleeved collar gown, a blue sprinkled gold pleated skirt, stepping on Shu embroidery inlaid with East Pearl embroidered shoes, black hair pulled into a spiritual snake bun, one side of the emerald Ruyi hairpin, the other side of the insert of a tired silk and lotus gold step.

Xiao Erye is much more low-key, dressed in a moon-white auspicious cloud dark pattern brocade, with a watery and clean ice hosta on his head, revealing wealth in his low-key.

Xiao Miao'er is only one year older than Ya Ya, but she is half a head taller, slightly plump, wearing a lilac purple brocade short skirt, navy blue embroidered lilac lilac horse face skirt, her hair is tied high on the top of her head, and she uses a water blue hosta with a transparent water head to coil it into a round bun, just elongating the round face, with a pair of soft apricot eyes, and a dignified in the softness.

Xiao Xiang'er is eight or nine years old, her body has not grown up, but between her eyebrows and eyes is the shadow of the Xiao family, with apricot eyes and plum cheeks, and she is beautiful for the first time.

"Ouch, I'm an old fool, quick, quick, Doctor Wei, please sit inside. ”

Old Madam Xiao looked at Wei Wangchu apologetically, "I haven't seen each other for two years in the blink of an eye with my sister and brother, it's rude, and I made Dr. Wei laugh." ”

Wei Wangchu's face was slightly soft, "The juniors understand." ”

"Doctor Wei, please inside. ”

Old Madam Xiao and Xiao Wu were on one side, and they helped Wei Wangchu to walk towards the hall.

Yaya and Amber stood at the door, waiting for the second uncle and his party to walk in, saluting in unison and calling people one by one.

"Second uncle, second aunt, Sister Miao'er, Sister Xiang'er. ”

"Hey, Yaya, Amber, I haven't seen you for two years, your sister and brother have grown taller and bloomed, and they look better. ”

Second Mrs. Xiao looked her sister and brother up and down with a smile, swept over their wrinkled clothes, the smile in her eyes was thicker, and she looked more intimate.

Second Master Xiao nodded with a smile, "I'm tired all the way, let's go in and thank you." ”

As he spoke, he led the group in.

Old Madam Xiao and Wei Wangchu sat on the main guest seats respectively and continued to drink tea and greet each other.

Yaya and Amber followed Xiao Miao'er and Xiao Xiang'er and stood behind their grandmother obediently.

Xiao Miao'er and Xiao Xiang'er unconsciously looked at this cousin (cousin) from a peasant family.

When I was young, I didn't think, why was it so dark?

Black, but also wearing pink, even more rustic.

The two glanced at each other, their eyelashes drooping slightly, covering the disdain in their eyes and the pride in their hearts.
