The continuous winter rain continued for a small half a month, and even the Chinese New Year's Eve in Huocheng was spent in a wet and humid atmosphere, but fortunately, on the second day of the first lunar month, the sky was beautiful and gradually sunny, which was convenient for people who were not idle all day long in the winter leisure time.

The open space in front of the Zizhu Temple in the western suburbs of Huocheng that was originally used as a market has also been re-erected from the third day of the first lunar month, and the bluestone road has also been carefully swept clean by the monks. Those who come to receive relief don't care whether the road is good or not, but many of the people who come to receive relief are very particular.

Zizhu Temple is not big, the monks in the temple are only twelve or thirteen people, and at most a few buckets of water are placed on the side of the road for passers-by to use. Led by Huocheng County's dispensable county order, the benevolence of the city's Xinshan businessmen and merchants quickly spread to the villages and towns around Huocheng.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Xue Suxuan, who was standing behind a porridge shed, was wearing a half-section scarf made of silk yarn, and his slightly raised eyebrows could not hide his excitement. For the first time, Daddy completely let go of the disaster relief that she was involved in was about to begin, and this is the time. The middle-aged woman who whispered to her beside her was none other than the wife of Huocheng Li County Commander.

In the gossip of Mrs. Li, Xue Sujun naturally and humbly talked about his second uncle's new official position, and also vaguely mentioned the relationship between his family and Xinan Xiaozhou Mansion.

"Madame! The sisters of the Zhou family are definitely more delicate than Zhi'er, and Grandpa Zhou is very strict, so he can't watch them often...... However, this time, the adults and you initiated this charity act, and they also donated money with their share of the money from the province on weekdays. ”

The little girl in front of her has a very sweet mouth. generously pointed out her husband and her own efforts in everyone, and Mrs. Li pursed her lips and smiled appreciatively. looked at Xue Suyun's eyes and softened a little.

A hundred steps away from the porridge shed, Zhou Manyun, who was sitting in the carriage, looked coldly at Xue Suyun's pretty and well-behaved light crimson silhouette for a while. His eyes turned to the gathering crowd, and he became even colder.

Huocheng is not a famous city in Dayi, the people who have fled to Huocheng in these years have been evacuated and relieved, there is no fixed place to live outside, there are not many people who lack food and clothing, and there are many hard-working outsiders in the manor of the Zhou Mansion alone, and the fleet that went south to Quanzhou last year also took away some young people who had the momentum to Linhai Bo.

But obviously, whether it was Li Zhixian, who was newly appointed last year, or the Xue family, who liked to join in the fun, they still came up with the disaster relief style that is common in big cities, and what they wanted was nothing more than a good name. Now they are gradually responding to the gathering to receive kindness, except for a few of the old, weak, sick and disabled. There are still a lot of sturdy idlers.

Whether it is in troubled times or prosperous times, there are always some people who specialize in eating and eating without production, and what is even more terrifying is that these people's hands will be stretched for a long time.

The result of this disaster relief in the previous life was nothing more than that...... Zhou Manyun hooked his lips and smiled, and greeted Du Xuanshuang who was standing next to the car in a deep voice: "Uncle Lao is watching here." Yun'er went home first. ”

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and a woman is even more so. Even if he is confident that he is chaotic, he can protect himself safely, and Man Yun, who has confirmed the situation, does not want to take a single risk. As for Xue Sujun, Man Yun thought that what she said when she persuaded her sisters not to come to the scene had been passed on to her ears, and the surname Xue didn't believe it or not. What's the matter with her Zhou Manyun?

The light wheels rolled and drove quickly towards Huocheng, as if they had not left a trace.

In the crowd waiting in line for the relief, Xiao Hong was holding a slender bamboo pole in his hand. Pulling the tattered clothes on his body, he breathed a sigh of relief......

Zhou Manyun returned to Zhou's mansion and hid in the Zangxiu Tower. But I didn't read two pages of a book, and I heard Qingying report that the third sister Manqing was visiting.

instructed the maids to make tea and take snacks. Zhou Manyun greeted him with a smile, and at the same time complained bitterly in his heart.

At the reunion banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve. The eldest aunt Xie who returned home pretended to be drunk, and actually said bluntly at the women's banquet that in her eyes, Xu Yu and Man Qing were very compatible, and it would be great if the old lady could become a jade. This was originally said by the Xie family who wanted to pass it on to Zhou Xian through Man Yun or his two sons, but the juniors seemed to be unfavorable one by one, and Xie Shi, who had never received an answer and had not seen Lao Tzu on weekdays, simply changed his method.

At that time, the fourth aunt Min was actually known for being attached, which was a great idea!

It's just that if it's really good, Grandpa will have mentioned it earlier! Zhou Xian knew that Xu Ne's father and son were leaving, and he had heard Zhou Ke report the idea of this marriage, and he had also asked Man Yun and even Xu Yu himself. But Xu Yu made it clear that he had no intention.

Originally, it was good to have no such thing, but Zhou Manqing gradually increased the number of times he went to the Tibetan Xiulou before and after the festival, and the meaning of the eyebrows and corners of the eyes, Manyun clearly felt that it was more difficult to do.

It is a crime for a woman not to marry. This is not a lie, in the edict of Taizu of the Chen Dynasty, it was clearly written that "men are sixteen and women are fourteen or more, and they are subject to marriage", and Chen Lu also has a rule that women over 17 do not marry and are fined and taxed. Although in recent years, many wealthy and noble families will keep their daughters until they are seventeen or eighteen years old to remarry, but after finding a good in-law, it is not against the law, and they are only raising their daughters for the in-laws' family for another two years to show their pampering.

Man Yun, who had a similar feeling of torment in his previous life, understood the mentality of the eldest daughter of the third sister Manqing very well. At present, Manqing may not have any childlike affection for Xu Yu, but he was mentioned as a reliable candidate for marriage, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he felt more and more that he was a good person, and he was still worth marrying, and he had the mentality that he would marry himself, just like the relief when Manyun heard that the second uncle wanted Gao Wei to marry her in his previous life.

Zhou Manyun, who had thought about it a lot, stared straight at Zhou Manqing's heart, she moved the embroidery pattern on her hand nervously, tapped the back of Manyun's hand and said, "Sister Yun, you said that I made a shirt like this for Brother Kai, he would like it......"

Seventeen-year-old Zhou Manqing is the most beautiful and most beautiful time in his daughter's family, her skin is soft and greasy, her eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, her cherry lips are dripping, and her slender waist is not even more handful, but it is a pity that her chest wrapped in a lake blue jacket is just a small arc lightly.

If the senior brother wins people with his chest, he is simply a fool who defeats himself and is blessed! Man Yun's eyebrows drooped, and he replied sullenly: "Brother Xiao Yu is leaving!" ”

"Where is Brother Kai going?" , Obviously, Zhou Manqing, who wanted to use Zhou Kai as a foreshadowing, didn't keep up with Manyun's thoughts at all.

"My brother. Xu Yu will leave with Master after the beginning of spring, and he will probably go to Quanzhou as well! ”。 Man Yun simply replied loudly. On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xie mentioned that one of the benefits of Xu Yu was the simple population of his family. will definitely stay in Huo City, and through her understanding of Manqing on weekdays, she will be interested in her senior brother who prefers stability, and most of them are also for this reason.

"That's it!" , The long tail note dragged on, and Man Qing, whose face stiffened slightly, covered the gloomy sadness in his eyes, and said softly: "Sixth sister, don't be too sad about this, there is no ...... in the world that will not disperse."

A little sour and embarrassed in Zhou Manyin's chest, she couldn't tell whether what Manyun said was true or another kind of rejection after seeing her thoughts. Or maybe it was a reminder that Xu Yu specially asked his cousin to do after knowing Xie's words...... Either way, she felt an unbearable tingle in her heart, but she still started to talk comforting words about what Man Yun had said. It's not to persuade Manyun, but to persuade himself more.

"Third sister! In fact, Grandpa is very concerned about your affairs, and sometimes it is not a bad thing to have a later fate! Man Yun grabbed Man Qing's hand and stared at her eyes and said seriously.

Zhou Manqing in his previous life was already married at this time, but he was married to a forty-year-old official by the second uncle who was planning to recover, and the eldest son of the original partner of that family was about the same age as Manqing. There are also a bunch of aunts and children, as far as I know in my previous life, Manqing is not doing well.

Zhou Xian's choice of relatives for his grandchildren is very slow but also very fine, in contrast. Man Yun thinks that the marriage between Man Miao, who is married and to be married, is much better than in the previous life.

"Sixth sister! What nonsense are you talking about......", Man Qingcang got up in a panic, and wanted to leave immediately.

"Third sister. When did you see me talking nonsense......"

It seems to prove that Man Yun never lies to his promise, after noon. Xiao Zhou's mansion got the news from Zizhu Temple.

The disaster relief site at Zizhu Temple was fine at first, but it was only time to arrive. There was a fight among the homeless people who received the porridge, not only did they lift the porridge shack, but they also boldly and directly grabbed the gold and silver of the good people present. The worst thing is the wife of a businessman surnamed Wang, who patronized and protected Mrs. Zhixian, and was pushed to the ground by herself, slipping off the fetus that had just been put on her body

When the Zhou sisters donated silver, they were also eager to try to go to the scene to personally raise their wrists to relieve the people's difficulties, and Man Yun once coldly commented that if they are swaggering for good, they will cause trouble, and they were stabbed by her, and they escaped without going out.

It's just that there are still a few teenagers in the Zhou family who go to see the excitement, and they make up the corner to be a pond fish, if Zhou Manyun lets Du Xuanshuang take someone to watch, I am afraid that he will come back with pain and injury. But even after coming back, they still entered the cultivation hall and knelt down.

In Yunhua Curie, who had already turned on the lamp, Gao was also staring at Gao Wei kneeling in front of her with a cold face. The young man who changed his clothes after returning home had a slight abrasion on his handsome cheek, which was a little embarrassed.

Strange Dao Manyun has always resisted, and sometimes the eyes of children are more real. Gao Shi let out a long sigh and said, "Vigoer! I will not punish you, but you will go back and think about it, have you behaved properly these days? As for this matter, Sister Yun'er's handling of things is like Yunni compared to that Xue family girl, and Sister Yun is a stable ...... who is a serious housekeeper and a safeguard."

"Auntie! They are just weak women who want to be kind, where can they think about it? Gao Wei responded astringently, with a hint of anger in his eyes with his head down.

Compared with Xue Suyun, Zhou Manyun is more in line with the style of being a housewife in the future as Gao said, but she is as cold-blooded and ruthless as she killed sheep in Baiheliang, today in Zizhu Temple, Zhou Manyun arranged for the people who stayed behind to only care about protecting the Zhou family brothers, if he hadn't rushed to pull Xue Sujun, those subordinates would not have helped at all.

If Gao Wei's slander is heard by Man Yun, it will be a pity to explain that she originally told Du Xuanshuang to only take care of the "Zhou" family, and the surname Gao is not included.

Under the window lamp of Zangxiu Tower, Zhou Manyun was twisting his eyebrows and seriously looking at the confession sent in by Du Xuanshuang. After escorting the Zhou family away from the chaotic scene, the manpower arranged by Du Xuanshuang still caught the two people who provoked the trouble. Subsequently, with the help of drugs, a confession was extorted.

"Sure enough!" , Zhou Manyun let go of his hand and slapped a few pieces of paper in his hand on the table.

In her previous life, she only knew that from the sixth day of the first month of the fifth year of Taiye, Huocheng began to have many troubles, it is said that in this incident was wanted by the county some people who became thieves according to a mountain, and then tied up in Huocheng for extortion, after a few years, the momentum has grown, the big and small Zhou Mansion and the local squires have made up money and silver several times to invite the state soldiers and horses to suppress the bandits, tossing several times without results.

At the beginning, it was Zhang Shaoxiong who met in Fengjin to ask the Zhou family for money, because he knew that he had the habit of raising bandits, and re-examined the events of the year.

As a result, it was just as she thought. is really playing the same old tune, Zhang Shaoxiong played the trick of raising thieves and fattening himself in the jurisdiction again. When these people are done making trouble, they are waiting to be wanted and put on thief clothes.

Then, when Huo Cheng had a kidnapping case, the young son of Zhou Tong of the Great Zhou Mansion was torn up, and after Zhou Tong died, the person surnamed Zhang was going to come out to clean up the bandits.

"Yanyan, does Uncle Xuanshuang have any ideas?" , on the paper is only a confession of trial, and Du Xuanshuang's opinion is not explained. Man Yun, who was eager to go out of the house immediately to ask him in detail, pinched the hour to suppress his impulse, and asked Bai Lu who sent the letter in a soft voice.

Bai Lu's tongue swirled in his mouth a few times before he said, "Second brother said, let's not rob a mountain and be a thief!" Although Du Xuanshuang and Bai Lu also became new parents last year, raised a big fat boy, and lived a stable life, they were the same as those Du family soldiers who stayed in Jiangnan, not to mention being quiet and moving, and they were reluctant to leave Nanshan idle on this horse.

Just like every time Shunyi Boat went out before, those young men were scrambling to go out with them to practice, even if they vomited in the dark at first, they were not afraid.

Zhou Manyun thought for a long time before he nodded slowly and said, "This...... That sounds like a good suggestion. ”

For the sake of the future, it is definitely a good thing to have three holes in the cunning rabbit, and then have more manpower.

"However, Uncle Xuanshuang is not suitable to go. The little stone is still so small, I don't even want to let my uncle go out of the boat......", Man Yun explained carefully. Xiaoshi is the name of Xuanshuang and Bailu's two children, and she is only nine months old.

Bai Lu, who really wanted to be a thief in private, smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, we have a lot of people!"

After passing through Du's level, the suggestion of agreeing to grab the hill and occupy the land was taken out by Bai Lu, who had stayed in the Zhou Mansion for one night, the next day.

Du Xuanshuang dispersed the news in the Shunyi boat that closed during the winter festival, and immediately won a burst of cheers from several brothers in the house.

After the call stopped, Xing Laosi came to Du Xuanshuang, pointed his finger in the direction of the Shengping on the same street, and reminded softly: "Second Brother Du, do we want to talk to that over there, after all, the idea of being a thief was originally from that kid from that family."
