Chapter Ninety-Eight: Three Detectives (Part II)
"Bang Bang Bang-"
Firecrackers were being set off in front of the inn.
The firecracker hung high under the corner of the eaves, and when it was kissed by the tongue of fire, it flew up from tail to end, and the purple paper that wrapped the fire suddenly turned into a splash of scraps of paper, splashing on the old tile wall and at the foot of the little girl's skirt.
"Yikes! My new shoes! ”
Xiao Changning buried his head and drank softly, hurriedly turned around, raised his little thumb and lifted the skirt, and hid behind Changting, the skirt was carried upwards to reveal a pair of plain silk light indigo small embroidered shoes, during the heavy filial piety, not allowed to wear red and green, Changting had to give the young sister two strokes of the cat's eyes and beard, a few strokes are not beyond the rules, but make the little girl look immature and cute.
Changting laughed, and hugged the young girl behind his back with his hand, "Lively, right?" Come out and see the firecrackers! That's it all once a year! ”
Changning tugged at the corner of his clothes and shook his head resolutely.
The firecrackers lit up smoke and spread out against the green bricks, Hu Yuniang approached the funny, but was choked by the smoke and coughed. This person was not honest when he coughed, and he dragged an unlit small cannon in his hand and ran after Yue Fan, tearing up his voice and shouting as he ran, "You're still not a man!" Don't even dare to let you fire a firefight! I'll go to the city tomorrow and buy you some balm and hair oil! Little lady Yue! ”
Hu Yuniang chased after her, Yue Fan hung a dead wood leaf stalk in her mouth and ran around the root of the wall, her tongue pushed the leaf stalk to the corner of her mouth, ran around the root of the wall, and looked back at Hu Yuniang while running, with a hippie smile, "That's feasible!" People want the aroma of osmanthus oil, and people can't get used to smelling other tastes-" Before the words were finished, the whole person jumped straight into the sky, and hurriedly grabbed it behind his back, "Ouch! Ayu! What did you throw into my clothes? Damn it! Don't be a cannon fight! Lao Tzu is most afraid of artillery battles! ”
Hu Yuniang hated Yue Fanniang's femininity the most, shook her hand, stood under the wall and laughed.
Changting hugged the young sister far away, and grinned and laughed.
These two living treasures!
This is not yet the beginning of the new year, but the custom in the north is to set off firecrackers and paste window flowers on the morning of the 30th day of the lunar month, which is also regarded as following the local customs. The sky in Sanjiu was so cold that the old dog died, but Hu Yuniang ran out of breath, her forehead was full of sweat particles, and she trotted to Changting while laughing, laughing so much that her eyes were gone, "You said you!" Why are you still detaining our little Aning here! Take a walk, run two laps in the snow, and be happy! ”
It's not a puppy
Still sprinkle joy
Xiao Changning's mouth was deflated, he lifted the hem of his skirt, and lifted his toes to reveal the embroidered shoes, "The new shoes made by Sister A, I'm afraid they will get dirty!" ”
Hu Yuniang was stunned, and after being stunned, she laughed, supported Changting's shoulder with one hand, and followed the curl with the other hand, revealing an autumn apricot-colored embroidered shoe with exposed thread and rough stitches. My shoes are also made by Gillian! ”
Changning's mouth was so deflated that he couldn't be deflated anymore.
One on the left and one on the right are all attached to the side of the pavilion.
Changting laughed, "Put the skirt down for me!" ”
To tell the truth, her embroidery is really not good, and she has been boiling oil and lighting these shoes for five or six days, and the needles on her hands in the past few days have added up to more than in the past ten years. But go to the old and welcome the new, in the end, the big thing. Although living in a foreign country, Changting is still unwilling to wronged A-Ning and Yu Niang, Yu Niang is open-minded by nature and lives happily anytime and anywhere, but Xiao Changning and soft are fine-hearted, and soft people are mostly indecisive, and careful people are more sensitive.
In the past, the elder sister of the Wang family, whose parents died, was raised under her grandmother's knees, and she developed a cautious, restrained and suspicious personality.
She didn't want Aning to repeat the mistakes of the past.
The New Year's money, new clothes and shoes, and the love of the elders that others have, Xiao Aning must have them, otherwise she is the eldest sister, sorry Fu.
There were eight strings of firecrackers, and one or two were left hanging in the porch, but the open space of the post house was full of confetti, like a layer of red duckweed covered with snow.
In this wide alley, the neighbors' drooping children are all lying on the wall and looking in, and the shopkeepers of the official road post station are more related to the small officials and officials, so they can get such a fat difference, and I heard the shopkeeper rap that this Jiang shopkeeper is Mrs. Jiang of Zhou Tongling's wife, and the cousin who is far away and far away is still a blood relative, but Changting looked carefully at the face of the Jiang shopkeeper, but he didn't see such an arrogant and alienated look on Jiang's face.
The shopkeeper Jiang is very kind.
Jiang shopkeeper has a mustache, a smile, the eight-character beard is crooked, he stretched out his arm to point the tongue of fire at the last long string of firecrackers, the firecrackers, crackling, Jiang shopkeeper let Xiao Er's door open, the children around the watch all poured into the yard and stood at the base of the wall in a proper manner, the shopkeeper happily issued New Year's money one by one, three five baht coins per person, the child got the festivity before and after shouting to the Jiang shopkeeper to salute.
This is the first time in the days of Changting that I have seen such a warm scene.
Hu Yuniang leaned against the long pavilion and said softly, "That Jiang shopkeeper is a good person!" ”
Changting smiled and nodded.
is a good person with kind eyebrows and good eyes, and now there are good people in this world, which is really rare.
After the last string of firecrackers was lit, Shopkeeper Jiang walked up to Xiao Changning with a smile and handed over three five-baht coins, "Little girl! Auspicious New Year! He handed three more to Hu Yuniang, and said an auspicious word as usual, and Hu Yuniang happily accepted it.
Shopkeeper Jiang wiped three more pieces from his arms, and asked Changting to continue, "Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new!" There are children and children! Years of peace! ”
The jubilant tone makes people finally feel that this New Year is really coming!
Changting hurriedly stretched out his lips and smiled, stretched out his palm to pick it up, and then thanked the shopkeeper Jiang, "I wish the shopkeeper a good New Year and a prosperous business!" ”
Shopkeeper Jiang nodded with a smile and said, "Thanks to the girl!" Thanks to the girl! ”
The window lattice on the third floor of the post house was wide open, and the eldest princess of Zhending stood by the window with a gentle expression, quietly watching the celebratory scene in the courtyard, the two little girls have grown up, one has grown into a sister who swears to protect her sister overnight, and the other is relying on the eldest sister wholeheartedly, Amitabha, fortunately, they don't know anything.
Sometimes living carefree in illusion and deception, that smiling appearance is even more distressing.
"It's really unruly for the girl and the common people to mingle together, why don't you go down and bring the two girls up?"
Emei said tentatively.
The eldest princess didn't seem to hear it.
E Mei bit her lip, looked at the corridor downstairs on tiptoe, and called again, "Eldest Princess"
The eldest princess of Zhending finally came back to her senses, looked back at the past and said "hmm", Emei had to say what she just said again, and the eldest princess of Zhending waved her hand calmly, "No need, it's rare to see Gillian and A-Ning happy, the rules are not to be kept, but to be established." ”
Emei hurriedly lowered her head and made a soft "um" sound.
She has been serving the eldest princess of Zhending since she was ten years old, and she has served for so many years or eight years, what the master is thinking, she still can't figure it out, and it is better not to say it, so she is silent, and after a long time, the eldest princess of Zhending raised her jaw and commanded gently, "Bring a chair and stool." ”
The eldest princess is still ready to sit here comfortably and watch!?
The wind blowing into the inner chamber against the whirring?!
Xu Yu was not there, no one could persuade the eldest princess, her eyebrows were in a trance, and she remembered what to do when she was blown by the cool breeze, so she hurriedly lowered her head and moved a stool with a chair back to call the eldest princess Zhending to sit.
Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole city is festive.
The eldest princess of Zhending was full of sadness, she lived for such a long time, she lived until her back was gone, her face was wrinkled, and her hair was white, she felt the sad atmosphere, she lost her father in early years, and lost her husband in middle age, she didn't crush her, when the old man Lu took her hand and swallowed her breath, she thought that the most bitter thing in this life was that the old man went before her, she thought that she had tasted the most painful sadness in the world. But she was too lucky, and when she was dying, her son gave her an unpredictable blow.
"Mother, are you distressed? It's going to hurt you, right? My dear brother died a tragic death, and even his bones were gone."
