After Xiao Ding returned home, he drank wine with everyone for an afternoon, and after being a little drunk, everyone dispersed, and it was already approaching evening.

When he went back to his room, Xiao Ding didn't notice that in the east wing of his yard, Erniu had already lived in. However, just because he didn't notice it doesn't mean that the civet didn't notice it either.

When the civet saw that the second girl lived in the east wing of her courtyard, she was so angry in her heart. Seeing Xiao Ding coming back, he began to deliberately find fault. A little vixen talked about the second girl, and asked Xiao Ding why he didn't go to sleep with the little vixen in the east wing.

Xiao Ding felt uncomfortable when he heard the civet call Erniu a little fox spirit, and hurriedly tried to stop the civet's screaming, for fear that if this word reached Erniu's ears, Erniu would feel even more sad.

However, Xiao Ding will come whatever he is afraid of.

He didn't expect that the noise between him and the civet cat on the side of the main room was all heard by the second girl who had now entered the second floor of Qi training.

The second girl heard the civet scolding herself as a little vixen, she was angry, she couldn't help but get up and get out of bed, pushed open the door, came to the courtyard, and shouted towards the main room: "Sister civet, you are the fox spirit, obviously you robbed my father-in-law, and you actually came to scold me!" ”

Although the second girl lives in the countryside, she has a gentle temperament and has never scolded anyone.

As soon as the civet heard that the second girl outside had come out, she shouted to Xiao Ding: "Your little vixen has come out to look for you, why don't you go over quickly!" ”

This was heard by Erniu again, and she hurriedly shouted: "You are not allowed to talk to Xianggong like this, don't you know that as a woman, you must focus on Xianggong?" ”

When the civet heard this, she sneered in her heart, and said that this little girl is really a woman from a good family under feudal thinking. In the afterlife before she crossed over, where could she still find a girl with such thoughts?

As soon as Xiao Ding heard the voice of the second girl, he immediately felt a big head, and he felt dizzier than he had just finished drinking. It's simply that the more you're afraid of something, the more you'll come!

He knew that Erniu must be very unhappy in his heart, but when he saw the civet saying this, she actually came out to help him speak, which made Xiaoding even more shameless to Erniu.

Seeing that the civet cat was about to open his mouth to speak, Xiao Ding hurriedly stopped and said: "Lingcat, you don't say a word, you are such a big person, you are not afraid of being embarrassed, seeing that the New Year will be tomorrow, what are you still making trouble!" ”

After speaking, Xiao Ding didn't wait for the civet cat to reply, turned around and walked out of the house, and then saw the second girl standing in the courtyard.

Although he hadn't figured out why Erniu suddenly appeared here for the time being, he saw that Erniu had heard the quarrel between the two just now, and he knew that Erniu must be uncomfortable at this time, so he wanted to open his mouth to persuade him.

But before Xiao Ding could speak, Er Niu was the first to cry, she ran a few steps towards Xiao Ding, and then threw herself into Xiao Ding's arms, crying aggrievedly: "Xianggong, although this Kyoto is good, it is not my home, I want to go back to Xia Village......

Seeing that Erniu was crying sadly, Xiao Ding hurriedly hugged her body and said, "The New Year will be tomorrow, let's wait for the New Year first." It's cold outside, let's go back to the house first, which room do you live in? ”

Erniu nodded obediently, raised her hand and pointed to the east wing, and said, "The old man surnamed Xia arranged me in that room. ”

Xiao Ding looked up, and finally relieved, no wonder the second girl would hear the noise between him and the civet, the distance between the east wing and the main room is only about ten steps away, and the house in this era is not soundproof, where can it not be heard?

Xiao Ding was about to go to her room with Erniu in her arms, when she heard the civet in the main house shouting: "Tian Xiaoding, if you dare to go to the little vixen's room tonight, you won't want to enter my room again in the future!" ”

Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then continued to move forward. The second girl sobbed cautiously and said, "Xianggong, I'll go back alone, you better go back to Sister Lingcat's room first, she is already angry." ”

Xiao Ding shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll send you back to the house!" ”

After speaking, Xiao Ding didn't pay attention to the shouting of the civet cat, and directly hugged the second girl in his arms and walked into the east wing.

After the second girl returned to the room, she lay in Xiao Ding's arms and cried loudly, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances in her belly.

Xiao Ding persuaded and persuaded for a long time, and the second girl didn't stop until she was a little tired from crying.

That night, Xiao Ding returned to the main room of the civet, and sure enough, the door was inserted tightly, no matter how Xiao Ding called the door, the civet just wouldn't open the door.

Xiao Ding knew that the stubborn temper of the civet cat had come up, and he had no choice, so he had to return to the second girl's room and ask the maid to find an extra quilt. The two of them each had a bed and slept together.

Although the second girl was aggrieved in his heart, he saw that Xianggong seemed to have nothing to do with the civet daughter-in-law, so he also realized Xiaoding's difficulties, and thought, how could Xianggong marry a fierce wife as a wife? What is so good about such a strong woman? She doesn't know what she thinks about for Xiang Gong, what does Xiang Gong like about her?

The next day was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and early in the morning, the entire Zhongzhou City was filled with the sound of "crackling" firecrackers.

The Hou Mansion is also shrouded in the festive atmosphere of the New Year, early in the morning, the people get up early, under the command of the Xia housekeeper, the whole house is lit up and down, pasting the Spring Festival couplets and sticking the word Fu, cleaning, and arranging the whole mansion.

Xiao Ding was also woken up early by the sound of firecrackers. His ears were sharper, and he could hear the sound of firecrackers even far away in the city.

It can be seen that where there is a benefit, there must be a disadvantage. Although good ear power is a good thing, when encountering this kind of Spring Festival, it is often disturbed by noise.

After he got up, he looked at the second girl who was still asleep, and her little face still had the tears left over from last night. It makes people feel a little distressed when they see it.

Yesterday she cried bitterly for most of the night before she fell asleep, and it is normal for her not to wake up at this time.

Most people in the house didn't know about the quarrel between the two ladies in Xiaoding's courtyard last night.

Whether it is Qiulan and Qiu Ju of the civet cat, or Chun Tao and Chun Xing, the maids of the second girl, they are not the kind of people who chew the root of their tongue. They have been specially instructed that they must not speak ill of their masters behind their backs, otherwise they will easily invite trouble.

Therefore, if they don't spread the word, the rest of the people in the house won't be able to know.

In less than a morning, the people in the house had already decorated the whole house with a new look and a beautiful look.

But in the afternoon, there were snowflakes in the sky, and although they were not big, they were also fluttering, and there was no intention of stopping. On the contrary, the closer to evening, the heavier the snow became.

Although it snowed, it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the people in Zhongzhou City for the New Year.

As soon as the night begins, there is immediately the sound of firecrackers, bursts of sound, one after another, endlessly.

On a snowy day, set off firecrackers, set off fireworks, the whole family gathers together, cooks dumplings, eats dumplings, is lively, reunited, happy, and welcomes the New Year.

In this day and age, firecrackers are common, but fireworks are a luxury. The average person can't afford to buy fireworks.

Because firecrackers in this era are not the same as firecrackers in later generations. Firecrackers in this era were really made of bamboo. Fireworks, on the other hand, are made with gunpowder, so they are very scarce and precious. After all, the raw materials for gunpowder used in this era were still somewhat scarce.

Erniu still refused to go to the hall to sit down and eat with everyone on the grounds that she was not feeling well.

Not only did the second girl not come today, but even the civet cat claimed that she was unwell and did not come either.

Everyone couldn't help but focus their eyes on Xiao Ding's body again.

Xiao Ding knew that the civet cat had not yet lost his anger and did not want to see him, while the second girl was sad and did not want to come over to see the civet.

Although he knows the reason, Xiao Ding is still a big head and two heads, in the face of these two women, he can't beat, scold, coax is not good, he is really a little poor in donkey skills!

In order not to affect everyone's happy mood, Xiao Ding had to force a happy face and accompany everyone to be lively.

As a result, that night, the civet cat still did not let Xiao Ding return to the room.

Xiao Ding had no choice but to live in the second girl's room again.

It snowed heavily all night, and the first day of the new year still didn't stop, but it was much smaller than last night. At the same time, a cold wind was blowing.

The courtyard of the Hou Mansion was already covered with thick snow. Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Steward Xia organized the servants in the house and began to clear the snow.

Jiang's son Tiedan, as soon as he saw the snow on the ground, immediately remembered the previous snowman building, so he pestered Liu San to help him build a snowman.

Although Liu San is a stepfather, he only got married in his thirties, and he has no children of his own with the Jiang family, so he has always taken iron eggs as his own children to raise, so he usually treats iron eggs very well.

So, Liu San helped Tie Dan build a snowman in the yard of Xiao Ding, who was cleaning.

Erniu got up in the morning to go to the thatched house, and when she passed by the yard, she found the iron eggs playing and the snowman that had been built, and immediately remembered her hometown Luoxia Village. I also remembered the people of the Tian family in Luoxia Village.

Although the Tian family was poor before, they always regarded her as their own relatives, and no one would murder her or scold her at all. She used to build snowmen with Xiao Zhu'er and Ou Mulin in the winter, after all, she was not very old before, and she has always had a childlike heart.

When she saw the snowman at this time, she naturally remembered those happy days when she was in Luoxia Village before, so she felt even more in her heart that this was not her home, and it was better to return to Luoxia Village.

I thought in my heart that I would wait to see Xianggong, and mention this matter to him again, so that Xianggong could send him back to Yongzhou as soon as possible, and he would not have to continue to be tortured in this sad place.

When she returned to the house, she didn't continue to cry today, but sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, stupid.

However, the second girl stopped crying today, and the civet cat was silently crying in the house alone.

The civet cat is a soldier, and it is usually the master who would rather shed blood than tears. The reason why she cried today was because she felt that Xiao Ding no longer loved herself as much as before.

Although he didn't let him in at night, if he didn't let you in, did he really not come in? She really ran to the vixen's house and slept for two nights, and she felt that she had fed all her sincerity to Xiaoding to the dog. Xiao Ding must have learned badly when he crossed over, and he also learned from the powerful people in this era, and he wanted three wives and four concubines to warm his arms and warm jade.

She said that she was not feeling well, Xiao Ding didn't say anything about coming to visit her, she deeply felt that her true feelings for Xiao Ding had been let down by Xiao Ding, so she also began to shed sour tears.

Although the civet cat may seem a little strong on the surface, she is still a fragile woman's heart at heart.

Xiao Ding, who was in the front hall, didn't know the psychological changes of these two women today. He still forced a lively conversation with everyone to avoid affecting everyone's festive atmosphere for the New Year due to his own personal affairs.

In this era, everyone pays special attention to the atmosphere of the New Year. No matter how unhappy things are, in the few days of the New Year, it is necessary to let it go first. Because, in their opinion, the New Year is to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, is the beginning of the new year, since it is the beginning, then there must be a good start, so that the next year will be smooth, if in the New Year in these few days of awkwardness, or unhappy, then the following year, may do anything will not go very smoothly.

Therefore, when it comes to the Chinese New Year, everyone in this era is happy and happy, and they don't even say unlucky words.

Although the second girl was in a bad mood, she also knew that she was going to be happier in the past few days of the New Year, so she couldn't help but cry in the past two days. However, if she wanted to make her happy, she couldn't do it.

As a person who crosses, the spirit cat is a reckless person, so she will not scruple about what will happen in the past few days of the New Year, and if she is in a bad mood, she will cry.

Crying is a woman's right!

In the evening, Xiao Ding returned to his yard, he knew that Erniu was in a bad mood, so he went to Erniu's room to visit Erniu first. When the second girl saw Xiaoding coming, she spoke again and said: "Xianggong, I want to return to Xia Village, although this place is good, it is not my home......"

Xiao Ding stroked Erniu's head lovingly, and said, "Silly girl, why is it not your home, this is my home, and naturally it is your home." ”

"But I'm not happy here!" The second girl pursed her lips and said.

"You must have just been here for a short time, and you are not used to it yet, and you will get better after staying here for a while." Xiao Ding Quan said.

Erniu nodded silently, thinking in her heart, maybe Xianggong was right, maybe she hadn't adapted to this place yet, so she said: "Okay, I'll all obey Xianggong's arrangement!" ”

Xiao Ding saw Erniu's well-behaved appearance, he was very pitiful, hugged her in his arms and said: "I'll go to the civet cat's room to try it in a while, and see if she still lets me in, if I don't let me in again, then I will break in directly." When I see her tonight, I'll go and discuss with her about accepting you as a wife, if she refuses to agree, then I'll ......, I'll ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Ding suddenly thought that if the civet cat didn't agree, he didn't seem to have any way to get her to agree.

When the second girl heard Xiao Ding say this, she raised her head stupidly, looked at Xiao Ding's face and said, "Xianggong, if Sister Lingmao doesn't agree, don't kill her!" ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, the soles of his feet slipped, and he stumbled, almost falling. The heart said, When did I say I was going to kill her? So he hurriedly said: "Erniu, don't worry, I won't kill people casually, if she doesn't agree, I'll ......, I'll ......, and I'll spank her." ”

When the second girl heard Xiao Ding say that she was going to spank the butt of the civet, she imagined that picture in her mind, and immediately "poofed", laughed, and said, "Xianggong, if I don't listen to you in the future, will you also spank my ass?" After saying that, the second girl immediately blushed with shame.

Xiao Ding gently patted Erniu's shoulder with the arm that held Erniu, and said, "Silly girl, you are so well-behaved and lovely, how can Xianggong be willing to spank your ass!" ”

The second girl immediately snorted, and was so ashamed that she buried her face directly in Xiao Ding's chest.

Xiao Ding was tired of being at Erniu's place for a while, and then left to go to the main room of the civet cat.

To Xiao Ding's surprise, the door of the civet cat was not tied today. Xiao Ding gently pushed, and the door opened.

Xiao Ding walked into the house and saw the civet cat lying on the bed alone and crying silently.

This also surprised Xiao Ding.

In Xiao Ding's impression, it seems that he has never seen a civet cry, even if he was injured when he went out on a mission, he never saw her shed half a tear.

But why is the civet crying today?

Xiao Ding was puzzled, so he had to come to the bed and said, "Spirit cat, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?" ”

The civet cat sobbed without raising its head and said, "Do you still have the face to come back?" I thought you fell into the gentle village of that little vixen and never came back! ”

Listening to this tone, he is still full of resentment. Xiao Ding didn't dare to provoke the civet, so he hurriedly criticized himself first and said: "I'm sorry, civet, it's all my fault, it's me who is wrong, forgive me this time!" ”

Xiao Ding is well versed in the old saying "never try to reason with a woman", which has been left by countless men's ancestors. Reasoning with a woman is a dead end, no matter how reasonable you are, in front of a woman, it is also ignored, and in the end it is still all your fault.

Therefore, it is better to come up directly and admit your mistakes more straightforwardly, if the other party feels that your attitude is sincere, maybe they will let you go.

Sure enough, Xiao Ding's trick did have some effect.

The civet cat finally raised its resentful eyes and glanced at Xiao Ding, and then asked, "Tian Xiaoding, let me ask you, do you still love me?" ”

Xiao Ding didn't think about it, so he immediately replied: "Of course, it's all said, we have to love until the sea is dry and the stones are rotten, the water drops and stones are pierced, the mountains have no tombs, the rivers are exhausted, the winter thunder and earthquakes, the summer rain and snow, the heaven and the earth are together, but we dare to be with the king!" ……”

This kind of question, as long as you don't want to die, you can't hesitate to answer.

The civet cat glanced at Xiao Ding and immediately stopped him and said: "You don't talk nonsense with me, you tell me honestly, what are you going to do if you bring that little vixen back this time?" ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart that he was about to mention this matter, but he didn't expect the civet to ask first, so he replied: "That's the case, civet, let's talk about it first, I said don't you want to be angry." After I returned to Yongzhou this time, I told Erniu about us, but Erniu was heartbroken and had to follow me alive or dead. I saw that she was pitiful, so I took her back to Kyoto, hoping to discuss it with you, you see, ......, can you agree to ......, let me ...... her with me, marry, and be a wife......

Xiao Ding's words were not completely finished, and the civet over there immediately blew up the temple, shouting loudly: "Okay, you Tian Xiaoding, what you think is beautiful!" You still want to kill two birds with one stone, and take both of them, where is there such a good thing in this world? Do you want me to find you a wild man? If you are allowed to marry two women together, will I not be allowed to marry two men? You're really getting bolder, and you still have this kind of dirty idea, I'm here to tell you today, you're asking if I can agree, then I'll tell you now, I firmly disagree! Unless I die, or she dies, you can marry one of the two of us, and you want to marry both of us at the same time, don't even think about it......"

Xiao Ding was scolded by the civet for a bloody squirt, he saw that the civet cat had been furious, and he didn't dare to continue to mention this stubble, and hurriedly said: "Civet, you are calm, calm, I don't marry, I only marry you, okay, okay, let's not mention it, okay......"

After coaxing for a long time, the anger of the civet gradually subsided.

What Xiao Ding didn't expect was that the conversation between the two of them was all listened to by the two girls in the east wing.

That night, although Xiao Ding slept in the civet cat's room, he slept on the floor, and the civet cat said that he would not let Xiao Ding go to her bed.

The next day, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the snow outside still hasn't stopped.

Before Xiao Ding woke up, he heard a maid outside the door knocking on the door eagerly and shouting: "Master Hou, madam, it's not good, second lady, she, she's gone......"
