In the early morning, the sun slowly squeezes out of the mist and squeezes out the whole face.

On the stone road in front of the inn in the town, a thin young man, wearing a navy blue arrow-sleeved riding suit, was running forward and backward with a sharp voice, and was very busy.

After a while, a clear middle-aged man walked out of the inn, with a Chinese face, wearing a sky-blue robe, and his expression was pleasant. When the young man saw this, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Dad, the carriages and horses are ready." ”

The middle-aged man praised with his head bowed: "Hmm! Jiu'er has grown up. ”

The young man immediately showed a little childishness, and his eyes widened and corrected, "It's moisturizing." He tilted his head, squinted his eyes and said, "Xia Jiuye is okay." ”

It was the Xia family who went all the way to the northern cold.

While the two were talking, two middle-aged women came out hand in hand at the door of the inn, and one of them, tall and thin, immediately frowned when he heard it: "Your father hasn't been called a master yet?" ”

Xia Xiaoyu, who was dressed as a man, immediately salivated and leaned over: "The two wives got up early." The car is ready for you, and the small one will help you get into the car. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help his mother and Mrs. Lu into the car.

Xiao Xia was about to say a few words, but Xiao Yu caught a glimpse of the second sister-in-law coming out, and immediately turned around and ran over like a loach.

Xiao Xia Pozi looked at her back and sighed involuntarily. Mrs. Lu comforted on the side: "It's still young." It would be nice to be bigger. Alas, it would be nice if I could be so happy for the rest of my life, and the girl's family could be carefree for just a few years. ”

When Mrs. Xiao Xia heard this, she had to shake her head.

Xiaoyu settled the second sister-in-law and Rulan, and then entered the inn to watch the fifth brother leave the room, pay for the room, food and forage. I was not in a hurry to leave, I only talked to the little er, and asked where there was a place to eat in front of me, where there was a town inn, and there were liukou nearby, and I inquired clearly, so I followed the fifth brother and Zhong Min to chase after me happily.

After walking for only a quarter of an hour or two out of the city, he saw his own two carriages. After walking like this for an hour, he became impatient, and said to Zhong Min: "Sister Zhong, let's explore the way ahead, shall we?" ”

Zhong Min pretended not to hear, and only followed by Xiao Xia's carriage. Xiaoyu couldn't, so he had to ride his horse to the front of the team for a while, and then fall behind.

The second brother saw that it was almost noon, so he asked the fifth brother and Chen Peng to follow the vehicle slowly. I took Xiaoyu to the front to find a sharp restaurant and inn.

Sure enough, as the little two in the inn said, after running not far, he saw a small market in front of him. The second brother and Xiaoyu rode around on horseback and found a small restaurant that could be seen. The façade is not big, but there are only seven or eight tables, although the layout is simple, and the things are clean and tidy.

Xiaoyu discussed with the second brother: "I'll order food here, brother, you go pick up your father and mother and they come over." ”

The second brother saw that she had behaved properly in the past few days, and that it was such a small market, so he rode back alone.

Xiaoyu ordered seven or eight dishes, and asked for three portions of each. He also instructed Xiao Er to boil a large pot of boiling water, wipe the tables and chairs, and prepare more than a dozen pairs of dishes and chopsticks. Only then did he sit down, find a table slightly outside, sit down, sip tea while watching the excitement outside, and wait for the second brother and them to come.

After a while, a middle-aged man came in from outside, sitting on a chair by the door and sighing. Xiaoyu looked at him while sipping tea. I saw that he had a dark blue square scarf wrapped around his head, and he was wearing a coarse cloth short, which was thinly ground at the elbows. A strip of brown cloth was tied around his waist and knotted in the center. A small section of white-washed pants was revealed underneath, and the trouser legs were tucked into white leggings. But he is dressed as an authentic farmer.

Seeing this, Xiao Er hurriedly leaned over and poured a cup of tea, and asked, "Third Brother Liu, what's wrong?" Got angry with the owner again? Liu San drooped his head in frustration, took the tea and drank it all, and motioned for Xiao Er to add another cup. Only then did he sigh, slapped the table and complained: "This thief only protects the rich man, where is there any pity for us toilers." ”

Xiaoyu stared down at her tea on the side, but her ears were curiously propped up and listened carefully.

Then Liu San complained to Xiao Er again: "This rich person doesn't work every day, and uses that money to make money every day." Poor people like us are tired to death every day, and we only have a dozen copper plates, and we can't even support our wives and children......"

complained like this and asked Xiao Er for a bowl of noodles again. While eating, he also said to Xiao Er: "The children in the family are not worry-free, they are lazy and gluttonous, and their work is rough." The mother-in-law just asks for money all day long, called to repair clothes, you see, there is no time until now. As he spoke, he touched his elbow that was about to break and shook his head.

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Sister-in-law's good craftsmanship, this area is famous far and wide. No matter how delicate the things are, they are all sold at the homes of big families in the city, where is the time to make up for you. ”

Liu San shook his head with a sad face: "After a while, I will go to the city to plant some flowers and plants in the garden of Zhang Yuanwai's house, and the old lady of his family will have a birthday in a few days." Alas. Day and night, he kept doing, doing, and doing, all of which were to make wedding clothes for others. After that, he drank the rest of the noodle soup cleanly, then handed over two copper plates, wiped his mouth, and hung his head.

Not long after this person left, another man wearing a pea green silk robe and a cyan cloud scarf walked in. nodded at Xiao Er, glanced at Xiaoyu again, and then found a quiet seat inside and sat in a flirtatious robe.

Xiao Yu took advantage of the time when he picked up the teacup and pursed his lips, and caught a glimpse of the robe he lifted was wearing a snow-white white silk pants and white silk socks.

The shopkeeper obviously recognized it, and immediately leaned over with a smile on his face: "Second Master Zhang!" Are you still the same today? ”

The second master raised his eyebrows and smiled: "That is, these few things can be eaten." As he spoke, he sniffed, looked around with a frown, and said with a smile: "New tea?" It doesn't smell bad, well, let's have a pot too. ”

The little two were slightly stunned, and then whispered slightly embarrassed: "It's the tea brought by the guest officer over there, but it uses the hot water we have here." ”

The second master Zhang was not angry when he heard it, but he looked Xiaoyu up and down again, and Xiaoyu pretended not to see it.

After a while, the second child put peanuts and braised beef on the second master's table. He poured the freshly scalded wine and earnestly advised, "You use it slowly, and if you have anything to add, just tell me." Since there were no guests at this time, he smiled and asked, "Why do you have time to come to this country today?" ”

Second Master Zhang took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes and said, "My old man is about to celebrate his birthday, come out to find some rare things to make him a birthday." ”

The little second hucked his waist slightly and flattered: "What are the rare things in this poor country? ”

Second Master Zhang laughed: "I want to find some rare herbs, tiger bones or something." ”

Seeing that only Second Brother Xia came back alone, Xiao Xia's mother-in-law over there couldn't help but be a little worried: "I'm afraid that she will cause some trouble again." How did she leave her there alone. ”

But Xia Xiucai didn't think it was and comforted: "Her fifth brother has gone to the yamen to do things at this age." ”

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law stroked her chest and kept urging the carriage to hurry up, and said angrily: "This is the girl's house, there are so many boys in the family, where can she show up." ”

Second Brother Xia said with a smile: "Mother don't underestimate her, these days, it's not all her running back and forth." She never came out, alas, and she was also detained at home. I finally came out, and everything was fresh. In two days, she will be too troublesome to call her to do it. ”

The fifth brother also smiled when he heard this: "No, these days I have been running horses happily." I was so tired that she was still busy running back and forth. If it weren't for her, there would have been a lot of fun on the way. ”

The crowd laughed like this, and soon arrived at the bazaar.

Xiaoyu heard the movement and hurriedly came out to help unload the car and tie the horse, and when Mrs. Xiaoxia saw that she was really busy happily, she could only shake her head and beckon Mrs. Lu to sit down.

The fifth brother quickly looked around on the side, because it was lunch time, and everyone who bought and sold things in the market came to eat. Mostly some farmers from the countryside and a few merchants walking around.

After the fifth brother finished eating, he went to the market to make up some things for the road, and the group packed up and set off again.

Xiaoyu rode a horse and followed Chen Peng, and he didn't know what the two of them were talking about, so he ran away after a while.

"We're going to go into the city too, they're going to go into the city too, and we'll definitely run two steps faster."

Chen Peng was entangled by her, so he had to hurry up for a while, and sure enough, he saw a white horse walking leisurely in front of him. Immediately, there was a middle-aged man sitting upright, but it was the second master Zhang.

Xiaoyu ignored him and urged the horse forward. After walking for a short time, I saw a man dressed as a cropper in front of me who was walking briskly with his head down, it was the Liu San that Xiaoyu saw in the restaurant, Xiaoyu hurriedly turned around and squeezed his eyes at Chen Peng. The two men hurried their horses away for a while, and it happened that there were woods on both sides. Xiaoyu pointed to the right side of the road: "Right here, right here." Saying that, he turned over and dismounted, Chen Peng had no choice but to follow down, put the reins on the horses' necks, and let them graze in the forest by themselves. March and April are the seasons when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and Xiaoyu found a place with a wide field of vision and pulled Chen Peng to lie on the side of the road.

After a while, Liu San hurriedly walked over, but he still looked dejected.

Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled Chen Peng's sleeve, and when he saw that Chen Peng didn't move, he pulled it twice again, and Chen Peng couldn't help but take out a small piece of broken silver from his waist. Threw it next to Liu San's feet. The silver flew out with a strong wind against the grass, and unfortunately smashed on the surface of Liu San's feet.

Liu San, who was in pain, hugged his feet and screamed for a long time. He looked at the sky above his head and scolded: "Thief, God, you know that bullying us poor people will kick stones when you walk." After that, he was still angry, grabbed a few stones on the ground and threw them into the air indiscriminately, and jumped to his feet and scolded for a long time before leaving without looking back.

Xiaoyu stared at it for a long time before turning her head to look at Chen Peng angrily: "Didn't you say that every shot is a hundred hits?" ”

Chen Peng tugged at the corners of his mouth.

The two of them didn't see where the silver flew for a while, but they were still caught by Liu San and lost it as a stone, so they had to rummage around in the grass with their waists bent.

Just as they were looking, there was the sound of horses' hooves rattling in the distance, and the two of them didn't care about looking for money, so they hurriedly found a place with dense vegetation and hid.

But it was Zhang Erye who rode a horse and walked over slowly. When I came to them, I didn't know why I turned over and dismounted. When he got to the grass on one side, he lifted his clothes and squatted down.

Xiaoyu saw the embarrassment and hurriedly turned his back.

After a while, he heard the second master Zhang's sigh, and Chen Peng secretly screamed in his heart.

Sure enough, the second master hurriedly lifted his pants, flipped through the grass twice, picked up a small piece of silver, looked at the sun and looked at it, and then happily put it into his arms.

Chen Peng watched Zhang Erye ride away on a horse, couldn't help but sigh, turned around and said to Xiaoyu, "Go, go." He also took away the money. ”

Xiaoyu listened to Chen Peng's words, and couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaimed, "Ah! How could this be. ”
