The old bustard glanced at the imposing Chen Xian, and said unhurriedly: "What's wrong?" Chen Gongzi! ”

Chen Xian's eyes widened, and he said indignantly: "Okay, as long as I take out two thousand taels, you will return the little hairpin to freedom, now that you have taken the silver, what does it mean that you will not let people go?" ”

"Humph!" Feng Niang raised her eyebrows, pinched her throat slowly, and said, "What I said that day, I forgot it for too long!" ”

"You!" Chen Xian stomped his feet angrily, the wooden staircase rattled, and his voice suddenly became cold: "You want to deny it?" ”

"I'm denying, what can you do?" Feng Niang saw that Chen Xian was deflated, shook her head triumphantly and said, "There is no evidence, can you still report to the official to arrest me?" ”

"I-" Chen Xian was stunned, he really couldn't do anything to her, don't say anything about reporting to the official, even with the special feelings between her and Xiaochai, he can't be too tough on her.

His voice softened: "What do you want?" ”

"Hmph." Feng Niang raised her head and said, "Besides, I didn't say that I wanted to deny it. ”

"Although I'm in the Qinglou, I also know some truths, but-" She said this, her voice paused, she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"Just what?" Chen Xian asked anxiously.

"Be patient!" Feng Niang snorted, with an impatient look on her face, waved her hand and said, "I have already told Xiaochai that after Shangyuan, I will allow you to comb it for her!" ”

Chen Xian walked out of the Huancai Building with a cold face, thinking as he walked: Fortunately, this Feng Niang did not repay the debt, otherwise it would be really difficult for him to do it, but this old witch is also too utilitarian, and she clearly wants to build momentum for Xiangyun in the Oiran election of the Shangyuan Festival, and now she can use Xiaochai's free labor.

There are only three days before the year, and it is the lively time when the folk say "the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, slaughtering chickens and catching up with the big gathering", he walked all the way to the bamboo pole lane, and Mo said that the square market is full of people at the mouth of the alley.

Selling meat, selling groceries from east to west, north and south, dancing knives and swords and breaking boulders on their chests, and more idlers who have nothing to do, make a "crackling" sound from time to time, but it is a naughty boy who holds a firecracker and throws it on the side of the bridge, startling the black dog who drinks water, and running away with his legs.

The people of this era are simple-minded, although the orthodox 12 years are not a good year, and the victims are gradually pouring from Jia, Hu Erfu to Hangzhou, but for the people of Hangzhou, no matter how much they harvest this year, how much they earn, as soon as the year comes, they will have to make all the preparations, and then they will happily gather together, thank you and spend the year safely, and look forward to a better life in the coming year.

Chen Xian's old house in Bamboo Pole Lane is also close to completion at this moment, but there is still the main courtyard and the big paint on the pillars outside that have not been brushed, after all, money can make ghosts grind, Chen Xian spilled dozens of taels of silver, and the women who pulled weeds in the courtyard were full of energy.

As soon as he entered the main room in the north, he saw that Huang Luoyu was already dressed neatly, and even the burden was on his back, so he was stunned and asked, "You want to go?" ”

Huang Luoxuan glanced at Chen Xian, didn't speak, just nodded.

"It's a blue sky, and you're not afraid of being arrested when you go out?" Chen Xian hesitated slightly, and then hurriedly persuaded: "And your injuries are not healed, how can you leave now." ”

Huang Luoyu saw that the anxiety on Chen Xian's expression did not seem to be fake, and his heart was a little relaxed, but he still responded in a cold voice: "Now there are many tourists outside, and the official mission can't find out at all, so it's a good opportunity to go out of the city." ”

"Where are you going out of the city this New Year?" Chen Xian glared.

After he said this, he remembered his guess that Huang Luoyu was everyone's best girl, so he asked again: "Where is your home?" ”

"Home?" Chen Xian asked two questions in a row, and Huang Luoyu, who asked them, looked a little dazed, she was stunned for a moment before she said in a hurry: "Count, it's Fujian!" ”

After saying this, she frowned and snorted: "Why are you asking so much!" Whatever! ”

"Fujian? It's not safe there! Chen Xian frowned, and said: "There is a shortage of soldiers over there, there is a bandit named Ye Heliu, I heard that there is a lot of trouble. ”

"Ye Zongliu!" Huang Luoxuan subconsciously corrected Chen Xian's statement.

"Yes, yes, it's this Ye Zongliu." Chen Xian rubbed his nose and comforted again: "Hangzhou is not close to Fujian, you can't get there a year ago, this family is celebrating the New Year, where are you going to go alone?" ”

Where to? In a ruined temple outside the city?

Huang Luoxuan was stunned in place, thinking that in the past six months since he left home, he has slept in the open air, and gone out day and night, he has really suffered a lot of grievances, and now he can't even go back to that familiar place for the New Year, shouldn't he really come out?

Chen Xian saw that the woman was deep in thought, obviously with nowhere to go, so he smiled and reached out to grab the burden on the other party's shoulder.

A hint of vigilance flashed in Huang Luoyu's expression, but he still did not resist, and quietly watched Chen Xian take off the burden.

"So!" Chen Xian successfully took off the other party's burden, knowing that this Huang Luoyu had let down his guard against himself, so he smiled while the iron was hot and said: "Huang Nuxia, you can rest assured, stay with me for a good New Year!" ”

Huang Luoyu pursed his thin lips and didn't speak, just silently untied the long sword at his waist and put it on the table.

At noon, there are six dishes of all sizes on the brand new carved mahogany Eight Immortals table, including the golden Nest Nest, the soft and sweet Dingsheng cake, and the red and bright West Lake fish.

Huang Luoyu sat at the table, but she didn't move for a long time with chopsticks in her hand, her eyes glanced at the person sitting at the desk from time to time, and finally gritted her teeth as if she had made a decision and shouted: "Come here!" ”

"Alas, come on!" The man threw down the chopsticks and chopsticks, walked briskly like a little second in the hall, and pretended to shake his head: "What does the woman command!" ”

"Hmph." Huang Luoyu felt funny in his heart, but he still snorted lightly with disdain, and then thought about it and said: "The desk is an elegant place for dancing and writing, and it is a little indecent for you to put the dishes and chopsticks there, so sit here and eat!" ”

"Good!" Chen Xian didn't give her a chance to regret it at all, humming a little song in her mouth, and quickly moved the dishes, chopsticks and dishes.

Chen Xian just sat down, Huang Luoxuan didn't speak or look at him, silently raised the spoon by himself, chewed and ate slowly.

"Huh." Chen Xian saw that she was eating very slowly, and he only felt that this way of eating was a waste of time, so he couldn't help asking: "Aren't you tired of eating like this?" ”

"When eating, you must chew and swallow slowly, and then send it with liquid, and then the essence is dispersed in the spleen, and the color is filled in the muscles." Huang Luoxuan raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Xian, who was picking up rice in his mouth, snorted lightly, and said disdainfully: "Being as rough as you is, just to stuff your stomach with dross, you have lost your essence." ”

Chen Xian only knew that eating too fast might cause indigestion, how did he know that this Huang Luoyu actually brought out this statement, and almost laughed out loud - you, a Jiangyang thief who often carries a sword to kill people, actually came to teach me to eat slowly?

He couldn't help but hold back a smile and imagine a picture: the official broke into the door to chase the Huang Luoyu woman who was eating, only to see her gently lift the chopstick and pick up a small piece of meat and stuff it into her mouth, chew it slowly, and wait until "the essence is scattered in the spleen, and the color is full of muscles", and then she picked up her sword and ran away.
