Chapter 57: Chinese New Year's Eve (4)

In the future, the rare good weather made the small courtyard much warmer in winter.

"Mother, why did you come out?" Tang Xuexue put down the scissors and red paper in her hand and got up to greet her.

Tang wrapped himself in a leather jacket and said with a smile: "Today is a good day, it's not in the way!" I heard Xiaochen say before, basking in the sun more is good for your body!"

Since the drastic changes in the family, Tang's body has fallen ill, the winter when he first came to Chang'an, the weather was cold, and Tang, who grew up in the southern water town, fell seriously ill, and then he couldn't stand the cold.

Tang Xueying ran into the house, took another piece of cloth for her mother to wear, and then helped her mother sit down on the chair next to the stone table.

"Alas...... Time is not forgiving!" Tang suddenly sighed: "In the blink of an eye, people will be old!"

Tang Xueying picked up the scissors and continued to cut the window flowers, listened to her mother's emotion, and laughed: "Mother, how old are you, why are you old?"

"Why aren't you old!" Tang suddenly turned his gaze from the window flower in his hand to his daughter, his eyes burning: "Those little sisters back then, now they are all grandmothers and grandmothers!"

"You say, you can't be old!"

Facing her mother's cannibalistic gaze, Tang Xueying looked calm, stopped her hand, tilted her head and thought about it, and then replied with a serious face: "Yes, it is indeed too cruel to become a grandmother at a young age!

"You ......"

"Mother, take a look, how about this window grille?"

"What's the use of learning so well? and no one wants you!"

What do you say...... No one needs to learn the craft well, and you won't starve to death in the future!"

“……”

Looking at the back of her mother's dejected departure, Tang Xueying smiled mischievously, but then a faint sadness appeared in her eyes.

The boy is ordinary, but the girl who has undergone great changes has already matured and has her own ideas.

It's just that...... I don't want to settle for anything!

As soon as Tang entered the house, he shouted at his husband, "I can't control your daughter!

Tang Yuan diligently handed over a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "What do you mean by my daughter, I can be born without you!"

"Why can't you be born without me?" said Tang.

Tang Yuan's forehead darkened, and he said with a straight face: "Then you can be born without me!"

Tang slapped the table and shouted, "Yo! What's the matter?" Tang Yuan, you regret marrying me, right?"

"How can it!" Tang Yuan hurriedly smiled and said, "Isn't our daughter like you! I wonder if you were also fighting with your family back then, and you only married me alive or dead!"

"I regret it!"

“……”

"Look at your little bit of talent!" Looking at her husband's speechless appearance, Tang Shi smiled, and then reprimanded with a straight face: "Can she be the same as me? I am married, what about her? Besides, I used to be a girl, but now I am a mother!"

"This is what Xiao Chen said about the position that determines the attitude, right?"

"Don't always be Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen is so affectionate, people don't necessarily be your son-in-law!"

"Didn't you ...... yourself?"

"If I don't say a few words in front of that girl, people will definitely not be your son-in-law!"

“……”

Tang took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, waved his big hand, and said heroically: "Okay, it's your turn!"

……

"Xiao Jue, are you tired, take a sip of tea?" Tang Yuan smiled and walked to his daughter with a tea cup.

Tang Xuejun stopped again, raised her head and smiled: "Dad, it's your turn again this time?"

"Hehe!" Tang Yuan sat down with a smile and said, "Let's be honest!

"Uh-huh!" Tang Xuejun nodded numbly.

"But what about my daughter's family! How can anyone not marry? You're right?"

"Yes to ......"

"That's right!" Tang Yuan was very satisfied with his daughter's attitude, so he decided to deepen the topic: "Xiao Chen, you've seen it too, didn't you just come here yesterday......!

"I've been here!" Tang Xueying nodded, and replied expressionlessly: "He came to the store and said that he wanted to buy porcelain, but he stayed for a long time, and there was not a word related to porcelain.

"Huh?" Tang Yuan was stunned for a long time before asking, "He didn't say anything else?"

"Dad, what do you want him to say?"

"Yes, of course...... Nothing!"

"Oh!" said that, Tang Xueying lowered her head and got busy again.

"He really didn't ......," Tang Yuan said without giving up.

Tang Xueying raised her head with a puzzled expression: "Should he say something?"

“……”

Tang Yuan rushed away angrily, gritting his teeth and muttering, "Okay, you stinky boy!

Tang Xueying's eyes behind him were gloomy, and he angrily cut out a piece of red paper that had just been cut out in his hand, and thought in his heart: "This kid actually encouraged my father...... mother!"

Xu Chen, who didn't know that he had been resented by the goddess, was suffering from another goddess at the moment.

"You, come here and help me!" Xu Chen pointed to a young man and said sharply.

"This ...... Not really, right?" the boy looked embarrassed and smiled ambiguously.

"What do you mean it's not good, what's not good?" Xu Chen gritted his teeth and said.

Seeing that the eldest brother was angry, the young man hurriedly ran forward, but was pushed away by Wang Lin's handmaid painting screen beside him.

"The surname is Xu, you bastard!" With tears in his eyes and a desolate expression: "My young lady is already like this, and you still want to bully her!"

"I ...... I bullied her?" Xu Chen looked dazed, and his brain, which was thinking about who was laying it out, suddenly became sluggish at this moment.

"I bullied her?...... Do I know you well?"

Listening to these "extremely irresponsible" words, the picture screen felt sour, remembering the suffering of the young lady from home these days, and couldn't help crying "wow".

"You...... Don't cry! Say, tell me clearly, when did I bully her? Don't make it clear, I didn't play with you!"

"Woo...... You...... You're not human! Miss...... Miss, she's mistaken about you!Woo woo......"

"Hiss......" The faint sound of inhalation converged in one place.

Xu Chen, who was originally the focus of everyone, attracted everyone's attention this time, and the drinkers who had become upset because of the lawsuit were now hooked up by this scene in front of the door with a strong gossip heart.

Especially the girl who fainted in the young man's arms is a dignified girl with seven surnames, and the young man looks like a child of an ordinary family, such a gossip scandal with status and status is not something that can be seen at any time.

Feeling those surging probing eyes, Xu Chen had a kind of grievance that the yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, although Xu Chen's nerves were dulled a little for the affairs of men and women, but in the predicament in front of him, he knew that he couldn't say more, otherwise it would only become more and more solid for these people's fluttering reverie.

The sudden "peach-colored farce" also made the head catcher surnamed Wu recover from the panic at first sight of Xu Chen, and after making sure that Xu Chen would not go crazy like that day, the momentum of being the head catcher under the root of the imperial city suddenly recovered.

There may be some people in this restaurant who didn't even dare to offend before, but now, he has an impeccable reason for being unusually confident.

The fox is fake and the tiger is inevitable.

"Listen to it all! This is a big case of human life! Before the yamen has recorded their confessions one by one, no one is allowed to leave here for half a step, otherwise they will be punished as fugitives!" With that, Wu Zhutou began to beckon people to question the drinkers in the hall.

"Who the hell is it?"

The painting screen next to him was still crying, but the crying was quieter, Xu Chen wanted to pull his body out from under Wang Lin, but as soon as he made a move, the cry of the painting screen suddenly climbed, and he had no choice but to continue to be a meat pad.

At this moment, the cry in his ears weakened, and his thoughts returned to the question of Fang Cai.

"This surnamed Wu doesn't look like he's ignorant, his panic and fear just now don't seem to be pretending, he knows that I'm not easy to mess with, but he refuses to let go, who gave him such confidence?"

"I obviously chose a restaurant at random, so was it premeditated or did I hit the deputy car by mistake?"

"Count it down, except for the crown prince, I haven't offended anyone recently! Could it be him?" Xu Chen shook his head: "It shouldn't be! The prince doesn't look like a person who doesn't have a city! There's no reason to do it to me now! What can he get? Even if he gets rid of me, how much damage can the emperor do to this at that time? I'm not that important!"

Wu Zhutou saw that Xu Chen only lowered his head and pondered, and he was relieved in his heart, he really didn't know that Xu Chen was here in advance, otherwise, with Xu Chen's "feat" in Mingdemen that day, this Chang'an head catcher who knew who could and couldn't be provoked would definitely not take over this errand.

However, the errand had been taken, and the power of that person was not something he could refuse at all, so he had no choice but to confront Xu Chen.

Now seeing that Xu Chen didn't say a word, Wu Zhutou would not step forward to provoke this hungry tiger, but recruited a few catchers to surround the dead man surnamed Li: "You guys show me a good look! No one is allowed to approach this corpse until the predicament arrives!"

"Yes!"

"Zuo?" Xu Chen raised his head suddenly, staring at the corpse of the man surnamed Li who was lying on the ground bleeding from seven orifices, and muttered: "No! Since it was premeditated, why didn't they even bring it with them? Didn't they already know that there were dead people here? If they were going to act, why didn't they even have such an important actor?"

Thinking so, he looked around, and found that the catchers who were asking the drinkers seemed to be a little lazy, and listened carefully, and found that two of the three sentences of the questions raised by these people were trivial matters that had nothing to do with the murder.

"Delaying time?" Xu Chen frowned, still puzzled: "Can ...... Why?"

At this time, outside the restaurant, Suzaku Street is still lively, passers-by occasionally glance inside the gate, see the knife in front of the door to catch the fierce god, so they walk a few steps away, just talk about a few words and don't mind.

In Xu Fan's mansion, the people are busy, Lu Hao has already arrived, and the banquet set up at noon has not yet dispersed......
