The end of the year is approaching, and the first snow of the winter has fallen.

The goose-feather snow covered the perimeter of Jeseong and covered the roads leading to the towns in the suburbs.

Because this day is really not good, and it is a time of slack farming, even if it is a prosperous Zhangjia Town that is very close to the town...... There was not a single figure on the road that could travel in a two-horse carriage.

The snow obscures the sun, and only the first servants with strict rules will continue to work as usual during this time.

When the hour was about to pass, the corner door on the west side of the Chujia compound was pushed open by someone squeaking.

"Oh yes, it's a lot of snow under it. ”

Poking his head out of the door was the old Liu Bo, the porter of the Chufu.

After a night of duty, as soon as the charcoal fire was extinguished, he came out of the warm room, and the inside and outside stirred up, which made the old man, who was only wrapped in a sheepskin armor clip, shrink his neck.

'Purr ......'

A puff of white smoke floated from his hair, and the gap between inside and outside the house made him shiver.

"Cold!"

Bang Bang Bang ......

The old Liubo stomped his feet at the door for a while, and after getting used to the cold air, he picked up the big broom that was more than half a person high behind the door, and rushed to the door with more than three inches of snow at the threshold.

'Brushing'

'Brushing'

After only two or three sweeps, the rough servants of the outer courtyard also rushed over.

Coincidentally, the one on duty today is the second son of Lao Liubo.

Two years ago, just enough to be fourteen years old, he was sent to the courtyard of the first family by his father, and in this troubled world, he begged for a bite to eat and earned a few big money to live in.

There is no better job than a servant of the first house.

can get this duty, even if it's just a handyman, the top and bottom of the old Liu family...... It's also heartfelt.

It's all because of this father's love for his children, and he uses this roundabout way to help.

"Daddy, hey, hey......"

The child who came out was a tall and thick man, with a dark face and a very honest smile.

As the so-called mutual birth comes from the heart, this stupid boy came out of the corner door, saw his father, and just scratched his head, called out, and followed the ass of the old Liu family, burying his head and fucking hard.

Seeing this, Lao Liu Bo could only shake his head, and sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder his eldest son was transferred to the place in charge of purchasing in the courtyard to follow the second housekeeper, and the second son was still doing chores in the outer courtyard.

In response to this old Liu Bo's shaking of his head, he actually saw two small black dots from the white where the snow was still falling, and those two little by little shrank in the grove some distance from the Chujia compound, looking like two people.

Lao Liu, who was a little puzzled, opened his mouth and called: "Second son, you show your father, what's in the forest over there?"

The second boy of the Liu family, who looked at the past with Lao Liu's slightly raised fingers, only looked at it for a while, and then returned with a little disgust: "Dad, he is the most famous idler in Chujia Village......

Before Liu Erzi finished speaking, Lao Liu picked up the words: "It's Zhang Dengguan!?"

"This annoying, lying here on a snowy day, is doing it?"

Even if they don't like it, those two people are far away from this compound, and they can't reach their heads. The Liu family's big and small one, but in an instant, they left this idler behind, buried their heads and took care of themselves again.

Zhang Dengguan, who doesn't seem to be a serious person in the eyes of the Lao Liu family, is actually a ...... today I really just went out to get down to business.

He didn't sleep in the morning, and deliberately lay down in the snow nest, just to wait for someone.

This person will inevitably pass through this road today, because, apart from here, there is no side road that can lead to the compound of the first family.

When the year is over, those who owe debts and repay their debts, whether they can make up the holes or not, they have to go to the courtyard of the first family to make a trip.

If it is more generous, the owner's account will be flattened, and if it is really difficult, it should also be explained to the big housekeeper.

Whether it is to make up after the New Year, or to work to settle the account in the coming year, I always have to come to the yard to say a word.

Zhang Dengguan walked around outside the courtyard of Chu's house in the past two days, so that he was sure of one thing.

That is, in the whole village, only the person he wanted to block has not come.

Today is the last day of the New Year, and the boy of the Shao family is afraid that he has to appear.

……

'Brush ......'

There was a noise at the end of the road.

'Brush ......'

A staggering figure appeared in Zhang Dengguan's eyes.

The figure is thin and dry, just looking at it is not short, if it does not have the weakness of two steps and a dozen shakes, just looking at the figure, I am afraid that it is a difficult character.

"It's coming!"

The figure got closer and closer, and when he passed by the grove, the lantern officer pulled the king bolt that was huddled in a ball beside him...... Leapt out of the woods...... A pack before and after, and the person who came over was sandwiched in the middle.

"Shao Manchu, I want to discuss something with you?!"

The kid who was blocked just shook slightly, froze his steps, and stared at Zhang Dengguan who was blocking in front of him, and his response was full of vigilance: "What do you want to do?" ...... is obviously thin and weak, but there is a ruthlessness in his eyes, like a wolf cub who came down from the mountain the year before last, all cold.

Seeing Shao Manchu's reaction, Zhang Dengguan glanced at the other party's small physique and pouted nonchalantly. He pulled out a smiling expression, half threatening and half persuading, and said, "I can do it, Brother Zhang wants to help you." ”

"Brother heard that your father and mother are dead?

"You went to the Chu family just to let the first master delay you, right?"

"I'll tell you, it's useless! How did you make your fortune as one of those big squires?"

"Where can their old rich men be so merciful?"

"This is the first family...... I'm afraid that I have long been thinking about the three acres of thin land in your hand, and I want to collect your family's land into his own field when you can't settle the account. ”

Zhang Dengguan felt that he had said these words very well, and his mouth with white gas involuntarily picked up.

But Shao Manchu didn't have any expression, he still stared at him directly, and held back a sentence: "So?"

Hey?

This reaction is different from what Zhang Dengguan thought, the idler who copied his hands together was stunned...... Shameless and skinless, he continued: "So, didn't my brother come over to help you out?"

"Brother, I just got some money two days ago, but I'm not old or young, it's three dollars. ”

"I think this money is enough for you to pay off the accounts of the first master, you take it and go and settle the account with the first family. ”

This is really good, but unfortunately, the person who said it was Zhang Dengguan.

Shao Manchu is not very old, but he is not half credulous, because he feels ...... This big man is not so kind.

So he didn't answer again.

Zhang Dengguan, who didn't get the response he deserved, snorted in embarrassment, and could only lick his face and say from below: "Well, I just thought, didn't my brother make up all the money for you? Who is the Shao family's three acres of land for, you just give it to my brother, and you will be my brother in the future! I take care of you in the village, and no one dares to deceive you that you are a foreigner." It's better than you giving the land to the first master and losing your foundation, right?"

……

Scold!

This is the real purpose of Zhang Dengguan.
