Chen Fan'er grabbed Leng Qingsu's hand and asked with concern, "Sister Susu, what's wrong, are you feeling unwell?" Why are your hands so cold? ”

"Huh?! Oh, it's nothing, maybe it's windy outside, just came in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoLet's go, let's go to the living room together. Leng Qingsu hurriedly retracted his hand and walked quickly to Cheng Yu's side.

Cheng Yu frowned slightly, put down the book, and walked out of the study holding the hands of the two.

Chen Fan'er's face is pink, and anyone can see that she is in a good mood now; Leng Qingsu lowered his head and secretly glanced at Chen Fan'er from time to time, his face was a little cloudy.

The three of them soon came to the living room.

Cheng Zhi was widowed and never picked up, and he only had one daughter. Therefore, every "family feast" is eaten with the servants of the family.

Of course, only Song Qingsong and Leng Qingsu can be on the main table, even Chen Fan'er is not qualified.

"Today is the winter solstice, and this house hasn't been so lively for a long time. Recently, the situation outside has been tense and people are panicking, and I don't have time to manage the housework. Fortunately, there are all of you, and Cheng Mou advances and retreats together. I won't say much about the ceremony, everyone quickly sit down and eat dumplings. Cheng Zhile said hehehe, in addition to the main table, there are two large round tables in the living room, each table has fifteen people, all of whom are servants in the house.

Everyone began to eat hot dumplings, and there was a festive atmosphere in the government every year on the winter solstice, so even if the county was sluggish, it would not affect everyone's mood today.

Cheng Yu put down his chopsticks after eating two dumplings, got up and pulled Chen Fan'er to the main seat.

"You girl. You have a small appetite, the girl is hungry, she went to do errands for me today, and she was already tired. Cheng Zhi saw his daughter and Chen Fan'er smiling and holding hands, so he thought the two were joking.

Cheng Yu pinched a chopstick and shook it in front of Cheng Zhi's eyes, motioned to his father to take a closer look, and then slowly picked up Chen Fan'er's hair.

"Huh? Fan'er, your birthmark ......" Cheng Zhigang wanted to pick up the wine glass and take a sip, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Chen Fan'er's face change.

"When I was handing out steamed buns in the streets and alleys today, I met a mysterious old man, and I didn't see him cast a spell, but after he disappeared, my birthmark was gone." Chen Faner thought back to what happened, but always felt that there was a certain memory that was particularly vague.

"Oh? Mysterious old man, Fan'er, tell me what's going on? Cheng Zhi became interested, and wanted to listen carefully as soon as he drank the wine in his glass.

The servants at the other two tables also put down their dishes and chopsticks one after another, pricking up their ears to listen to Chen Fan'er tell the story of the mysterious old man and the disappearance of the birthmark.

Chen Fan'er first talked about the evil things of wolf dogs and others, and described in detail how they oppressed the old and disabled beggars. Hearing this, several servants cursed in a whisper, and Cheng Zhi frowned a little displeased. And the one with the worst face is Song Qingsong, and this kind of thing happened outside the county office, which is actually his own dereliction of duty.

"Qingsong, start stepping up patrols in the city tomorrow, and those who fight and cause trouble, regardless of whether they are physically disabled or not, will be sent directly to the military."

"Yes, that's exactly what my subordinates mean."

"Fan'er, what about after that? Could it be that a mysterious old man has appeared? "Cheng Zhi knows how powerful the wolf dog is, and ordinary martial artists can't take him.

"Yes. The mysterious old man was also an old beggar, who appeared in the alley before last month, but he slept in the corner every day, and never took the initiative to beg. Today, the wolfdog wanted to teach the old man a lesson, but he stretched his waist and made a big white light, and by the time I came back to my senses, the wolfdog and his group of accomplices had fallen to the ground. ”

Cheng Zhi listened carefully, and glanced at Song Qingsong a few times from time to time.

The group of villains noticed that the old man was very strong, and immediately knelt down and confessed his mistake. The old man only said, 'Knowing mistakes can be changed, good is great', and the disabilities of those wicked people were all healed. ”

"What! Admitting a mistake and giving such a big benefit? Several servants at the side table were surprised when they heard this, they thought that the mysterious old man was a good person, but they didn't expect that there was no distinction between right and wrong.

"White bones and raw flesh, old wounds are restored. My lord, with his subordinates' understanding of divine arts, I am afraid that the old man has at least reached the realm of divine masters. Song Qingsong guessed at Cheng Zhi.

"The divine master is not all over the streets, I think it may be a barbarian. It is rumored that the barbarians are particularly adept at the art of recovery and have strange personalities. "Cheng Zhi has learned that there is an extreme shortage of priests in the temple, and those who are high above will never come to pretend to be beggars.

"Well, you go on to say that the guys got back physically, and then?"

"Then the gang of villains swaggered out of the alley, but as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the alley, they were arrested by the conscription officers, and everyone was roped and directly arrested to fill the army."

"Ahh Everyone present burst into laughter, and no one expected this to be the end.

"Presumably your face was also cured by the mysterious old man, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, your blessings are not small, come, sit down and eat together." Cheng Zhi made up the reason for Chen Fan'er's recovery of appearance in his own mind, and greeted with a smile.

Leng Qingsu glanced at Cheng Zhi suspiciously, and then quickly lowered his head.

"Master, this is the main seat, I'd better sit back." Chen Fan'er said timidly.

"I have my own reason for you to sit here, come on, add a seat." Cheng Zhi mysteriously glanced back and forth between Leng Qingsu and Chen Fan'er.

Chen Fan'er didn't dare to disobey the master's order, so he sat down slowly. The seat was added between Cheng Yu and Leng Qingsu, and a trace of unnoticed displeasure flashed on Leng Qingsu's face, and Chen Fan'er was a little nervous, and she didn't dare to sit full, putting her hands on the table, and never daring to move her chopsticks.

"Family dinner, feel free. Although I am usually strict with you and Susu, I am not so afraid of me. Cheng Zhi picked up the wine glass with a smile and took a sip slightly.

Cheng Yu sandwiched a dumpling and put it in the bowl in front of Chen Fan'er, signaling him to be casual; Leng Qingsu ate by himself, his eyes were a little hollow, as if he was thinking about something else.

"Ahem, Fan'er, Susu, there's something I want to ask for your opinion." Cheng Zhi put down his chopsticks and looked at the two with a smile.

Chen Fan'er still had dumplings in her mouth, so she quickly chewed a few bites and swallowed them violently; Leng Qingsu kept holding the dumplings and didn't eat them, and when he saw Cheng Zhi asking, he suddenly woke up.

"Do you have something on your mind?"

"Oh, no, I'm a little tired today. Sir, you just said you wanted to ask for our opinion? Leng Qingsu quickly regained his usual expression.

"After the winter solstice, you have to prepare for the New Year. In the spring after the year, the imperial court will select a batch of embroidery girls. Originally, Yu'er was supposed to go to this matter in person, but you also know that Yu'er's situation is special and she can't be selected. ”

"I didn't think about it in the first place. But now the situation in Qingshui County is turbulent, and I, as a parent official, can't get out of it. The only way out I can think of is for one of the two of you to run for the Embroidery Girl. Cheng Zhi looked at Chen and Leng expectantly, and his words were extremely sincere.
