"You really know how to pick the right time!" Dong Ce's tone was straightforward, his head shook helplessly, and said: "I promised the carpenter before, but if I don't promise you to be old now, I'm afraid you will always say that I am biased!" ”

"Hehe, Dong Yilang is still young, there is time, but the old man is a day, one day less!" Although Ding Lao said this, his expression was very indifferent, and he didn't seem to take life and death seriously.

"Eh, Ding Lao can live for at least thirty or fifty years." The carpenter said with a smile.

"Ding Lao is naturally a flood of blessings, so I don't know what Ding Lao wants to draw below?" Dong Ce asked.

"Let's just draw the old man!" Ding Lao said, suddenly looked out the window, and said melancholy: "I'm afraid that after I return, the clansmen will forget what the old man looks like!" ”

Dong Ce couldn't laugh or cry, he had painted a lot of paintings, but he had never painted a posthumous photo, and now he painted this old man, and I don't know how many dignitaries and nobles will come to the door to ask for it in the future!

"It seems that the student temple will be opened as soon as possible!" Dong Ce's student temple was originally going to be opened this year, but there were too many trivial matters, he couldn't spare his hands at all, and after next year, the tea tea house would have to spend some time, and the branch of Zhenjiang Mansion would also start to prepare, and there was next door, I don't know what Gong Qing was going to do, so I had to guard against it!

The three of them were chatting and meeting, when suddenly a small black shadow ran into the tearoom, spread its four paws and jumped onto Dong Ce's wooden couch, and then stuck to him and took a nap by the small charcoal stove!

"Hey, Dong Yilang, this cat is very curious!" The carpenter was surprised.

And Ding Lao, who had just drunk a cup of tea on the side and hadn't paid attention for a while, looked down when he heard this, suddenly widened his eyes, and said in astonishment: "This is ...... Tiger! ”

"What? What tiger? The carpenter wondered.

"Tiger!" Ding Lao said in shock, looked at Dong Ce and said, "Dong Yilang, you actually have a tiger by your side!" Aren't you afraid of raising tigers? ”

"There are so many people who have seen Xiaohu. Ding Lao has eyesight! Dong Ce smiled indifferently.

"Well, I used to accompany ...... When my old friend was hunting, I didn't meet the tiger once or twice, how could I not know this thing, Dong Yilang was too bold, and you were not afraid of that day when you were sleeping. This guy ate you? ”

"Although the tiger is fierce, it is not easy to kill, only when it is empty will it think of predation, besides, it is still a little guy, I am reluctant to invite it to blame so I treat it sincerely, if it is willing to treat me as a meal, I also admit it." Dong Ce touched Xiaohu's head and made Xiaohu very useful. also turned over and rubbed his little head on Dong Ce's thigh, as if urging him to work harder, Ding Lao was shocked, and even the carpenter who understood what was going on on the side was full of astonishment.

"Dong Gongzi is really a strange person!" Ding Lao suddenly sighed.

The carpenter was obviously very surprised and curious about Dong Ce's tiger raising, and there was a little envy that was difficult to hide, Dong Ce knew that something was wrong when he saw his expression, but what he was worried about did not happen. Although the carpenter is envious, he does not have the intention of winning people's love. How could he not see that Dong Ce doted on this little guy very much, besides, raising a tiger is not a trivial matter, he doesn't understand it at all, in case it is as Ding Lao said, even if he doesn't die, I'm afraid he will have a little piece of meat!

Next. The three of them began to chat around Xiaohu, and after an hour, the two left, and Dong Ce hurriedly threw himself into work.

Seeing the New Year, who doesn't have much to do?

The things on Dong Ce's side are one after another. Naturally, other people's families are the same, busy with the New Year!

However, there are some people who don't pay attention to the New Year at all, but concentrate on their big things!

Xiaoyao Island is no longer Xiaoyao, not only the island has become Taiping Island, but even the signboard of Xiaoyao Palace above has become a positive and virtual view!

At this moment, in the Zhengxu view, in a courtyard hall, Zhengxuzi listened to the reports of the apprentices, and his brows finally stretched.

"Well, it seems that Qin Qi is really different from his father, he is very knowledgeable about current affairs, you should settle those account books as soon as possible, and go back to the house to visit those people's mansions one by one!"

"But Master, Qin Qi is the Qin family after all, will there be fraud in this?" A middle-aged Taoist priest.

"What's the deception? Don't you know that except for that old guy, none of the Qin family can pass the third grade! Qin Lao'er is about to step down, if no one in the Qin family can go to the capital as an official at this time and can't speak in front of the queen mother, then it won't take a few years for the Qin family to wither, so Qin Qi is now bent on climbing up, and the only one who can help him is us. Zhengxuzi smiled lightly.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was still a little puzzled and asked, "Since the Qin family is about to lose, why don't we add fuel to the fire and let them lose quickly?" ”

"Stupid!" Zhengxuzi glanced at the middle-aged Taoist priest and said angrily: "What good is it for us that the Qin family is dead?" No, not at all, on the contrary, if we help Qin Qi to replace Qin Lao'er, we will be able to win him over to stand with us, and you don't have to worry that he will turn back after climbing up, Qin Lao'er and they didn't work together to do anything, is it possible for him Qin Qi? ”

Only then did the middle-aged Taoist priest understand, indeed, what was he worried about? The national teacher's right to speak is heavy, even the left and right prime ministers can't match it, so why worry about a Qin Qi! On the contrary, if Qin Qi really becomes their puppet, it will definitely be of great help to them, especially in Jiangnan today, with the help of his Qin family, the development of Taiping Dao will inevitably be smooth.

When the plan was agreed on by Zhengxuzi, some of the scholars who learned the news were in a hurry!

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the Xianyao Palace was burned, but the account book flowed out, although I heard that the account book of the dividend has been annihilated with the fire, but who believes it? Could it be that the Five Fire Hall lied in order to stabilize them?

"Damn it!" The ancestral home of the Liu family, Liu Kaize, the commander of the Jinling Mansion Guards, looked at his two nephews, and then at his fourth brother Liu Kaiyi, shook his head, closed his eyes and said nothing.

"It's also your bad luck, it's not good for this Five Fire Hall to offend anyone, you actually offended Taiping Dao, I can't help you this time!"

"Daddy!" The two juniors of the Liu family suddenly panicked, and they can't help but be afraid, now the government is investigating, and it is almost to the end of the investigation, if the father does not help them, and when the evidence of the crime of Xiaoyao Palace is sent to the capital, they will inevitably be implicated, and at that time, they will be imprisoned at best, and they will lose their heads directly!

The two of them are just the two most unhappy concubines of the Liu family, what else can they do besides playing? I heard that playing can make money, so naturally I didn't agree to give an order, so I participated in the construction of Xiaoyao Palace!

At that time, after knowing what Xiaoyao Palace was doing, the two of them didn't care, just a few women, and they didn't play casually, even if they got killed, others couldn't find out, even if they did, do you dare to sue? Your accusation has offended half of the entire Jiangnan!

However, it is Taiping Dao, they are not afraid of the government, because they don't know how many people are on errands in the government, but Taiping Dao is different, first, the national teacher is too good, and secondly, they also urgently need an excuse to exert their power, these two juniors of the Liu family are undoubtedly hit by the muzzle!
