The Hanguang Gate of Chang'an City is full of low dwellings and ordinary alleys. Most of the people living here are poor families.

Suddenly the silence was broken by a loud noise, followed by the sound of adults shouting and scolding children. After a commotion, a little girl rushed out of it.

The girl's hair was curly and yellow, her clothes were a little shabby, she was not tall, and she had a slap print on her face, thinking that she had just been beaten.

Although the little girl had tears in her eyes, her face was full of stubbornness, and she ran towards the mouth of the alley with her head down.

As she ran, she made up her mind that she would never want to come back to this home without warmth. But where do you go?

She was running forward, and suddenly a figure flashed out of the alley, laughing and hugging her.

"Xiaoice, where are you going! Naughty again, right? ”

When the little girl heard this voice, she felt the warm and familiar embrace, put her arms around the man's neck, and finally cried out with a wow.

The man named Wei Qing put the girl down, and when he saw the marks on her face, his face suddenly sank.

"Why did you hit you this time? Tell your uncle, and your uncle will give you a breath. ”

The girl named Xiaoice shook her head, her smart eyes were full of tears, but she just held his sleeve and whined in her mouth that she didn't want to go back.

It turned out that Wei Qing also had a half-sister who married a family a few years ago and lived on this street and gave birth to this daughter. This little girl has been a little obedient since she was a child, and she is clever by nature, so she inevitably makes the family often jump, and she is often beaten up by adults to get angry.

Wei Qing is generous by nature, and often comes to give his sister some silver for two weeks, but this little girl is the most in love with him, close to him, but thinks that he is the closest person in the world.

He was originally free today, and he didn't come for many days, so he took the time to come and have a look. I ran into this Xiaoice again and was beaten.

He sighed, looked at the dilapidated doorway in the depths of the alley, forget it, if you don't go in, you won't have anything to say to go.

After thinking about it, he picked up Xiaoice again.

"Let's go! Uncle is free today, can I take you to a place? There are goodies for you. ”

Xiaoice nodded desperately, lay on his shoulder, turned out of the alley, and slowly walked away.

Yuan Zhao was a little funny at this moment. In the backyard, Su Lingzhi's interest has shifted from making small snacks to fragrant water.

After she pestered Yuan Zhao to learn those methods and master the essentials, she commanded the little fat man Ma Xiaoqi to pick all the flowers in and outside the courtyard and by the wooden hedge wall.

After several failed experiments, I finally made a small half of osmanthus flavored fragrant water.

She completely ignored the tired little fat man beside her, and her sweaty head rose with high spirits, and she continued to carefully put the petals into the still again and again, and there was a great tendency to pick all the flowers of the whole season for her use.

Alas! Let her toss around...... Yuan Zhao shook his head, couldn't bear to look at the resentful eyes of the little fat man who was driven by her, and sneaked out of the corner door and went to the front.

It's just that...... The previous ones also gave him a headache.

The reputation of Fan Xue Lou is getting bigger and bigger, and the people who enjoy tea and talk are full every day. The rich shopkeeper is busy with all these things.

Cui Hong is very diligent, always bowing his head and doing things silently.

Yu Dan would come on time every day, follow Yuan Zhao to do chores, ask this and that, and look happy.

Now there's another child...... A girl named Xiaoice.

Yuan Zhao now regrets how he agreed to Wei Qing's request! Your little niece entrusted me to take care of you? What's going on!

Could it be because I saw her desperately eating those small snacks that I relented for a while?

Xiaoice has never eaten such a delicious thing since she was a child, she doesn't know how much she has eaten in one go, but she still wants to eat it pitifully!

But my uncle had already returned to the palace. He didn't have that much time for himself.

Xiaoice looked up cautiously, and seeing that no one noticed her, she sneaked into the small room next to the hall, because she had already noticed that those delicious snacks were all packed from there on wooden plates.

Sure enough, the freshly made dim sum had an enticing aroma and was placed on the rows of wooden shelves.

However, the wooden shelves were too high. She tried to stand on her tiptoes, but her little hands couldn't reach them.

A pair of hands gently supported her waist, and she felt a lot lighter. With both hands hurriedly holding a wooden plate full of snacks, when her feet hit the ground, she quickly looked back and met a pair of gentle eyes.

She recognized the owner of the eyes as the man who had been entrusted to her by her uncle a few hours ago.

In Xiaoice'er's impression, her uncle Wei Qing is the best person for herself, and she is also the person she trusts and attaches to the most.

Although she hasn't read any books, her natural intelligence is in her bones. My uncle's personality has always been very open-minded, and he treats people and things with an indifferent look, and never shows anything special.

But Xiaoice couldn't understand why he had such a different attitude towards the person standing in front of him now.

Before coming to this Fanxue Building, Xiaoice didn't know where her uncle was going to take her. It's just that on the way here, after walking silently for a while, my uncle asked himself a few questions as if he had suddenly made up his mind.

"Xiaoice, do you want to stop being bullied in the future?"

"Hmmm! Of course, Bing'er didn't want to be bullied anymore. She thought of the rough father and mother who was indifferent to her at home, as well as the boys who liked to bully her in the streets and alleys on weekdays, and couldn't help but shake her little fist.

"Uncle knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances, little child...... Alas! It's also good if you learn some martial arts. ”

"yes, yes! You know I've loved dancing with knives since I was a kid, uncle! Have you finally agreed to teach me kung fu again? ”

Xiaoice's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly.

Although she is a daughter, she has been a boy since she was a child, and she likes to dance with guns and sticks. It's just that she is weak and sickly, Wei Qing has taught her a few fists and feet for her to be healthy, and let her practice, but she is extremely talented in this, and she can teach her almost as soon as she can.

After learning for a while, when you fight with other boys, you will inevitably cause some small troubles. Breaking heads, breaking fingers, and ......so on for other people's children, and so on. When other adults came to the door, they were inevitably beaten by her grumpy father again, and she was strictly forbidden to learn these things again.

At this time, she heard her uncle say this to herself, thinking that he would secretly teach her some martial arts skills, and she couldn't help but get excited.

Wei Qing shook his head.

"Uncle's little effort is too superficial...... Xiaoice, you have talent in this area, but unfortunately you are a girl!"

Xiaoice lay on his back, and when he heard this, he was a little unconvinced.

As if sensing her unhappiness, Wei Qing laughed twice.

But who can say for sure what is in the world? If you have a strong heart, if you can learn a skill...... Even if the girl's family can't do anything big, as long as she can keep her life safe and no longer be as sick as she was a few years ago, her uncle will be relieved. ”

She was about to argue a few more words, why did she say that the girl's family couldn't do a big deal!

Wei Qing put her off his back.

"Xiaoice, you must remember that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky! There are some people in this world who are more powerful than you can imagine......!"

Xiaoice had never seen her uncle speak so seriously to herself, she was a little frightened, and couldn't help nodding.

Wei Qing reached out and touched her head, brushing her somewhat yellow hair for her.

"Uncle will take you to a place, just...... Whether there is creation or not depends on your own fate. ”

Her curiosity mixed with excitement longed all the way, not knowing what kind of people her uncle would take her to meet. Will it be a hero? Or are they the masters of the palace?

Then she came to this teahouse, and she ate these things, and then she ...... There is no then.

She saw her uncle and a boy who was no more than two or three years older than herself talking and laughing a few words there, and then seemed to have stuffed him with a few ingots of silver before leaving. Vaguely hearing a few words of care and the like, the child dressed in the running uniform swept the silver in her hand, with a sad smile on her face, she felt a little strange in her heart, and did not understand why her uncle was so polite to a child.

It's just that she can't think about these questions now, and all her energy is focused on the plate of dim sum she got in her hand, which is really delicious!

Yuan Zhao doesn't care about her, just eat! Anyway, the silver that Wei Qing paid in advance was enough for her to eat for a while, hehe.

He is now coming out of Ma Qi's "carpentry room", of course, this is the name that Yuan Zhao hastily gave it. This is a separate shed built in the small courtyard where Zhao Yuan and Ma Qi lived, as a place for Ma Qi to build the wooden utensils needed for Fan Xue Building.

Ma Qi made a few wooden plaques according to his requirements, and roasted them with fire, and made measures to prevent drying and cracking. This surprised this man again, I don't know what Brother Yuan is going to do with it?

Of course, Yuan Zhao has his own ideas, how much money can he make just by selling those bowls of tea? Let's quickly increase our popularity! Since you plan to use the "Golden Horse Cilin Garden" that will come soon, to make Fan Xuelou famous, the hardware must first keep up with ......it.

These wooden plaques, he asked Ma Qi to retain the original quaint patterns, which were intended to be used to find someone to write on them.

Otherwise, why do you leave that cloth and eat dry rice in Fanxue Tower? Isn't it a waste to put such a good calligrapher without it! Ha ha.......

After listening to his brainwashing class, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at Brother Yuan again, the former hall master of the Liuyun Gang who had been incognito for many years expressed his admiration.

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves crash on the beach! That, Brother Yuan, go and do what you want, everyone supports you unconditionally. ”

Bu Yiyan had already changed into a cleaner robe, which was found for him by the money shopkeeper. After a few full meals, his spirit has recovered significantly, and his head and face have been washed and tidied up. At this time, he was quietly staying, thinking about the next step.

A cup of tea at hand, with a lingering aroma. The autumn sun was warm, sitting on the mat felt, he suddenly had an illusion, as if this kind of life was what he needed, right?

Of course, this thought was only fleeting.

"I think I have a policy of stability and stability in my chest, and what I have learned in my life has not yet been implemented, although the future is bleak, how can I be willing to be decadent! Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the teachings of the teacher back then? ”

Thinking of this, his mind was firm again.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the corner of the case on which he was based, interrupting his musings.

"Well, Mr. Buyi, are you interested in writing a few words?"

When Bu Yiyan looked up, he saw that it was the child who everyone called him Brother Yuan'er, who was holding a few thin wooden plaques and placing them in front of him.
