When a heavy snowfall fell, Cheng Ping finally walked into Nancheng, and he didn't have to worry about being blocked on the road again.

The children in the alley were playing in the snow, and Cheng Ping shouted, and the children stopped to look at him.

"The little liar is back!"

Before Cheng Ping could speak, the children shouted, he subconsciously raised his hand and turned around, but he heard the footsteps chaotically, and there was no snowball smashing over, he turned around and put down his hand, and saw that the children had run away.

What's going on? Has he become a terrible worm?

Cheng Ping made a gesture of opening his teeth and claws, whined, shook his shoulders and walked in.

With such a heavy snowfall, he had to find a place to live, and he looked around and walked around the snow while squeaking away, and before he could get out of the alley, he heard the sound of footsteps, and the group of children rushed back, and there were several women behind them.

Cheng Ping was so frightened that he stood on his feet and raised his hand to indicate that he hadn't taken anything.

"Oh, Brother Ping, why did you come back."

A woman shouted with a smile as she hurried over.

Brother Ping?

Cheng Ping stared at her wide-eyed, and hurriedly turned his head to look behind him, there was no one else in the empty alley.

The woman stretched out her hand and grabbed him, dragging her forward.

"....I'm saying that you, what do you see, why did you come back for so long, it's about to be the New Year, everyone is worried, saying that they want to go out to find you..."

What's what?

"Big lady, you are looking for me, is there something wrong?" Cheng Ping asked, wanting to hide back.

But two more women came up to her, and they were all laughing and pushing him so that he could not hide, until he reached a room.

"You've got everything packed." The women laughed.

Cheng Ping looked at the room in front of him. Although it is only a simple house made of grass and wooden planks. But it's already good on the southern side.

"Mine?" He said, pointing to himself.

"yes. Don't dislike the simple, just survive the New Year, the new house over there is built, and then you will be given a new home. The women laughed.

And a new house?

Cheng Ping looked at them in surprise, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look around, he didn't go to the wrong place, right? Or maybe it's a dream?

He reached out and twisted himself, hissing in pain.

"Huh?" He froze and looked over there. "Then, that's Master Cheng?"

In the snow, a small guy held a green cloth umbrella, and a small guy supported a man to stand in front of a house, although the man was wearing a cloak and a hat, Cheng Ping still recognized it at a glance.

"Yes, yes, Master Cheng is looking for Mrs. Cheng again." The women said nonchalantly.

Cheng Ping looked at these women again, shocked again.

Master Cheng is a god-like existence to Nan Cheng, and everyone is very respectful when they see it, of course, there are very few opportunities to see it.

But now look at these women. A commonplace attitude aside, and this tone. This look...

He's gone these days, what's going on here?

"Cheng Niangzi?" He thought of something and asked, "Which Cheng lady?" ”

The women laughed.

"It's the Cheng Niangzi you've seen." They laughed in unison.

Cheng Ping suddenly understood, but then he was surprised again and looked over there.

"Why does that Cheng Niangzi live here?" He asked.

Banqin opened the door and looked at Master Cheng outside the door, a little helpless.

"Master, why are you here again, my lady is really not a guest." She said.

Hearing her say this, the entourage of the Zhou family standing under the porch of the two courtyards next to her immediately came over with a bad face.

Master Cheng's face did not change.

"I'm not a guest." He said, "Go and tell her, I don't have time now, I'll wait here, and I'm not an outsider, I'm not afraid of being rude." ”

Of course it's not a guest, he's an elder, and he's already sued, let the elders wait outside the door, it's cold and snowy, and then faint or something, it's nothing, isn't it just being pointed at by the world and saying a few words.

Banqin looked at Master Cheng, bit her lower lip, and stomped in.

Master Cheng raised his feet and followed up, looking at the woman sitting with a scroll in the half-open door, and through the heavy snow, it became more and more confusing.

can shoot arrows, this Zhou family can teach....

Who will heal?

Can a fool be good? Did you really meet an Inhuman? Or are they not as stupid as they are, and they gradually get better as they grow older, but they don't notice it when they're not there?

Anyway, no matter what, let's talk about the things in front of us first.

"What the hell do you want?" Master Cheng asked, walking towards the door of the house, "Have you made enough trouble?" ”

"That's what I should ask you." Cheng Jianniang put down the scroll in her hand and said, looking at Master Cheng and smiling slightly, "Have you made enough trouble?" When I was a child, I didn't care about those things, and I couldn't complain about you because of people's affection, but then some of them passed, and again and again, why do you want to come and ask me if I've made enough trouble now? ”

What over and over again... Who is it again and again

Master Cheng sneered in his heart.

"And what do you want now?" He asked.

Cheng Jianniang looked at him.

"When the lord asks me like this, do you think I'm joking?" She said.

You think I'm joking?

Master Cheng looked in a trance for a while, as if he saw the woman in front of him standing up, and the bow and arrow in his hand were aimed at him...

"If you want a dowry, give you a dowry, what else do you want?" He couldn't help but say.

"Dowry." Cheng Jianniang smiled, "It doesn't matter if you want it or not." ”

Doesn't matter?

Master Cheng came back to his senses and sneered again, if it really doesn't matter, you still need to make trouble in the Shangguan Mansion!

"So you don't care? Just let this money be abused by those corrupt officials and evil officials in the government? He said.

Cheng Jianniang glanced at him.

"The money," she said, smiling.

At this time, there was another sound of cars and horses outside the door, accompanied by noisy human voices.

Someone is here again?

Master Cheng turned his head to look out the door.

These days, he has also heard that there is a lot of traffic on this side of the southern journey, and almost every other day someone comes to give New Year's gifts. Most of them are from Beijing. Being able to travel so far in winter to give New Year's gifts. It's not something that a small family can toss, and it's not something that can be done with a little affection.

Affection can't be done, but interests can.

Cure!

Master Cheng gritted his teeth again, the Wang family!

"Lady, it's the Beijing shop that has come to give dividends!" Jin Ge'er jumped in happily and shouted.

Banqin, who was kneeling by the door, also stood up happily.

"Is Sister Banqin here?" She asked.

Someone stepped in the door.

"Sister Banqin didn't come, she was middle-aged in Beijing and had a lot of things to do, and her business was busy, so she couldn't leave. I would like to ask for your forgiveness. ”

This is a middle-aged man, wearing a big thick leather robe and a hat, with a dusty face, and he bowed here when he entered the door.

"Come in, warm your hands, Brother Jin is going to make tea"

"I arrived early, but the snow on the road was slow..."

"Don't worry, wouldn't it be effortless to walk directly into the concert hall."

"Sister Banqin and Shopkeeper Wu said that the New Year would be lively, so it's better to come like this, and you can still see people."

There were only one or two more people in the courtyard, but it was like seventeen or eighteen more. Talking, laughing, and running around. Master Cheng only felt a boom in his ears, obviously standing under the porch, but it seemed to be on the edge of the sky, no one saw him, and he couldn't see these people clearly.

Who is this? What are they talking about?

A shop in the capital? Dividend? And also... Is Banqin coming?

Is there anything else the Wang family is hiding from them?

"Sir, if you're okay, please come back."

There was a girl's voice in my ears.

Master Cheng didn't know how he really came out, standing outside the door was even more lively than inside the door.

Two carts were bustling with each other unloading their goods, surrounded by children who were laughing and laughing from time to time because of the candy thrown by the people here.

“… Why are there three of them? ”

"Originally, the big shopkeeper said that it would be combined, but everyone was unwilling, saying that the big shopkeeper couldn't let the big shopkeeper occupy it alone..."

These words caused laughter from the audience.

Master Cheng stood still and listened in a daze.

Three... Family!

"....So the big shopkeeper is taking advantage of it? If you send three copies, he doesn't have to send them, just put on a name. ”

Another burst of laughter.

“… This is the Taiping Ju....This is the Immortal Ju... This one is from the drugstore... Strange, right? The shopkeeper of the pharmacy knows that he doesn't make as much money as these two, and he has put a lot of thought into it, you see these things, they are very exquisite..."

People in front of the car, including children, gathered around and let out exclamations.

Master Cheng also walked over a few steps in a daze, stretched out his hand and patted a man.

The man looked back at him.

"The immortal residence you are talking about..."Master Cheng looked at him and said with a slight tremor in his voice, "But it also sells passing immortals..."

The man laughed.

"Uncle, you're wrong." He said.

No....

Master Cheng's heart was relieved.

"It's not that it is also sold, but" the man stretched out a finger, with a little smugness, "our family is the only one that sells, and there is no other store in the capital." ”

Master Cheng looked at him, his face became paler and paler.

"Yours?" He said in a trembling voice, "This passing fairy, yes, yes..."

He turned his head sharply to look at Cheng Jianniang's courtyard door, stretched out his hand and pointed tremblingly, but he couldn't say anything.

"Oh, yes, this passing fairy is our lady's..."The man smiled and took the initiative to take the initiative to reply, while looking at Master Cheng, it seemed that he had just noticed that the old man was dressed well, so he was a little curious, "Uncle, who are you?" ”

Who am I?

I'm a fool!

Master Cheng shouted, but there was no sound in his mouth, his eyes were black when he opened his mouth, his body was crooked, and there were screams in his ears.

So you don't care? Just let this money be abused by those corrupt officials and evil officials in the government?

Is this money...

It's not that there's nothing to care about! There are already gold and silver mountains in hand, what is there to care about spending some money to buy a comfortable and happy!

No wonder she dared! No wonder she was willing!

What the hell is going on with this idiot! What the hell is going on here!

At this time, there was no snow in the capital, but the sky was clear, which made the court much brighter in winter.

The New Year's festival makes the court busy.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the royal palace has sent you a New Year's gift." The chamberlain entered the door with a smile and said, handing over a gift list, "Your Highness go down and take a look?" ”

The king of Jin'an retracted his outstretched leg and reached out to take the gift list.

"It's the same as last year." He swept his eyes and said, "I guess I can't wear this dress, I was small last year, and I don't know if it's big or small this year..."

These gift lists are uniformly prepared by the Royal Rite Office, and the format is the same.

"Do you have any letters from your mother or siblings?" He asked after a pause.

Many things have changed with age, and I don't ask about it, but this is the only question that I have to ask every year and never change.

It's a pity that the answer is the same, and the chamberlain lowers his eyes to avoid his gaze.

"The princess is busy, but the princess doesn't care... Your Highness, didn't the princess write two months ago...", he said with a busy smile.

The King of Jin'an County laughed and nodded.

"Yes, my mother wrote two months ago, I forgot, she asked me to inquire about my brother's title, and I haven't had a chance to say it yet." He smiled and stood up, "Taking advantage of the New Year, Your Majesty the Queen Mother is happy, I'll look for an opportunity, let's go, although it is the same every year, but in the end it is also a ceremony, it is a gift from the family, take a look." ”

The gift slip in his hand fell to the ground with a flick, and the splendid robe swept over and walked away.
