236 red packets
After the midnight vigil on Chinese New Year's Eve, Chu Chonghammer and Li Yuniang fell asleep and went back to the room first, and the old man was probably happy, slightly drunk, and was also arranged into the guest room by Zhu Yuenuan.
The lights inside and outside the county office are bright, reflecting red inside and out.
Zhu Yuenuan accompanied Chu Yitong out of the backyard, and in the courtyard of the second hall, more than a dozen catchers were ready to go.
Fengli and Yuecha were also dressed as going out, and they both took swords and guarded the side.
"Be careful." Zhu Yuenuan looked at them, stopped and looked at Chu Yitong carefully.
"So are you." Chu Yitong raised his hand and helped her shoulder, "Don't worry, there are Yuecha and Feng Li." ”
In the red lights, Chu Yitong's handsome face was clearly extinguished, but it was indescribably soft.
Zhu Yuenuan just glanced deeply quietly, then nodded and stepped aside.
"Let's go." Chu Yitong tightened his dark cloak and strode away, and the catchers followed closely.
"Yue Cha." Zhu Yuenuan shouted suddenly, and Yuecha, who was lagging behind, immediately turned around, and when she arrived in front of her, she said softly, "Although Natuo has the heart to cooperate, it is the Huyou country after all, so don't be careful." ”
"Yes." Yuecha nodded solemnly, turned around and chased away.
In the second hall of the county government, only Zhu Yuenuan was left.
The emptiness of the moment made her a little apprehensive, and after standing idle for a while, she paced out.
Tonight's gate is beautiful.
Every household has lit the red lanterns supplied by the Liang family trading house at a low price, the quiet streets are reflected in the red fire, the dilapidated house walls have been repaired and perfected, and the original ruins can no longer be seen.
Zhu Yuenuan stood quietly in front of the ya, staring at the street in front of her like this, with a shallow smile on her lips.
This stop will be until dawn.
"Why is Madame standing here?" The door opened the door, and when she saw Zhu Yuenuan, she couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Nothing." Zhu Yue came back to her senses. He smiled at him and turned back to the backyard.
In the morning, I greeted the two elders and distributed New Year's gifts to Zhu Fu and others. Add vegetables to those people in the southern prison to distribute benefits, and go to the city wall to patrol the city, but the time passed quickly.
"Girl." As soon as he returned to the Yamen, Wu Laohan walked over with two red envelopes in his hands. He greeted with a smile on his face.
Zhu Yuenuan was stunned for a moment, and then saluted with a smile: "Happy New Year, Uncle Wu." ”
"Okay." Wu Laohan looked at her with relief and handed over the two red envelopes in his hand, "This is for you and adults, don't dislike it." ”
"What is this?" Zhu Yuenuan looked at the red envelope in Wu Laohan's hand in surprise, and did not reach out to take it.
"I prepared this." Wu Laohan smiled, looked at Zhu Yuenuan with a somewhat complicated expression and said, "If I have a granddaughter, I guess I am about the same age as you, all these years." I don't know if there are grandchildren at home, and I don't know how many there are, but every year I prepare a few red envelopes according to my imagination, and I think it is ...... This year, thanks to the adults and you, pick me up to celebrate the New Year, treat me as a family member, and I have nothing to reciprocate, this ...... It's just a heart, please don't dislike ......"
"How can you dislike it." There was a hint of sympathy in Zhu Yuenuan's eyes. He took it with both hands and said with a smile, "Actually, in terms of age, we should all call you grandpa." Yes, we will call you grandpa in the future, when you are in the gate, you live in the yali, and there is no one else for the New Year's holiday, there is us. ”
“…… Well...... Good...... Good. The old man looked at her. Suddenly tears wet the corners of his eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head and wiped his eyes, smiled and nodded, looking a little excited.
Zhu Yuenuan looked at the old man with some doubts, but didn't ask anything, just accompanied the old man to chat and walk.
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chu Yitong had not yet returned.
Li Yuniang was a little anxious.
Chu Chongzhu was calm, and he also pressed Li Yuniang not to ask much, and only chatted with Zhu Yuenuan about the iron shop.
Zhu Yuenuan thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, there is a ready-made iron shop next to the yamen, it's not far away, wait a few days to take a look." ”
"Can't you go earlier?" Chu Chongzhu was anxious.
"Father-in-law, it's only the first year of junior high school today, so I have to contact the craftsman." Zhu Yuenuan smiled, "If my father-in-law is in a hurry, it is better to think about what tools are needed at the moment, as well as iron sand, this thing is not easy to get in this area, and the husband has to be free, so he handed the official letter to the prefect, and he can only build weapons when he distributes it." ”
"Alas, the prefect is not easy to get along with when he hears it, can he agree?" Chu Chongzhu shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Can you go down and buy some iron sand privately?" ”
"Behind the husband's back, I don't know how many people are staring, just waiting for him to make a mistake, if it is a private weapon......" Zhu Yuenuan shook her head in embarrassment.
"Look at you, you know what bad idea I have?" When Li Yuniang heard this, she immediately complained.
"Okay, wait a minute." Chu Chong reluctantly compromised.
After appeasing the second elder here, Zhu Yuenuan got out and went to the east city gate.
Wu Laohan came then and followed behind Zhu Yue: "Are you worried about the safety of adults? ”
Zhu Yuenuan heard the voice, looked back, and nodded slowly: "It's so cold, he is a scholar after all." ”
"Although he is a scholar, I can see it, but he is not a powerless scholar." Wu Laohan comforted.
"I hope so." Zhu Yuenuan smiled and looked at the dark Dragon Scale Mountain.
Seeing this, Wu Laohan also quietly accompanied him, but his gaze was towards Zhu Yuenuan, falling into the void, and his eyes were complicated.
"There's someone over there!" The people on duty on the city wall were the first to discover the situation and immediately exclaimed in alarm.
Zhu Yuenuan immediately came back to her senses, looked back at the person who reported the news, and then looked in the direction pointed by the person, only to see a group of people pouring out under the dark Dragon Scale Mountain, coming to Qimen County unhurriedly.
"That'......" the old man squinted his eyes, "it seems like they're back?" ”
"I'll take a look." Zhu Yuenuan looked at the team, her face was already a little happy, she put down a sentence, her feet were already connected, and she jumped off the city and quickly swept over there.
When he got closer, it was Chu Yitong who came back with someone.
"What people!" As soon as he got closer, he heard the sound of a knife drawn.
"Yes, ma'am." Feng Li didn't even move his hand, and quietly stayed by Chu Yitong's side, but Yuecha reminded him with a smile.
Zhu Yuenuan stopped in front of Chu Yitong and looked at it carefully.
Although the clothes on Chu Yitong's body were slightly messy, they were cut a few times, and the cloak outside was missing, but his spirit was excellent, with a smile on his face, and there was no injury.
Zhu Yuenuan looked at it, obviously relieved, and said with a smile: "It's all hard." ”
"Waiting?" Chu Yitong stepped forward and took her hand without hesitation.
Yuecha squeezed her eyes at Zhu Yuenuan and walked forward quickly.
Feng Li was even more desperate, he didn't even appreciate it, and silently followed Yuecha. (To be continued.) )
