When the guzheng and flute played in unison, "Let love become the flower that blooms forever in your heart", the first thing to stir was not the people who stopped to watch the bustle, nor the business owners who heard the wind in a few nearby streets, but the next door.

Next door, a three-story bookstore.

A scholar, standing in front of the bookshelf, suddenly stopped turning the pages of the book.

There was a scholar, sitting at the desk, the hand that put down the pen paused, and he didn't put down the pen for a long time, and listened attentively.

Third floor.

Lin Shouyang, the youngest son of Shang Shuyan of the Criminal Department, asked Ding Jian (Lu Zhiwan's cousin of the grandfather): "This is from the third sister's small building, right?" ”

Ding Jian nodded and put the book in his hand on the table.

He smiled and said, "Minrui is not here, so let's do it, I will treat you to a snack called cake." "Beckon, call the little guy, let the little guy watch and buy.

Xie Wenyu, the son of Wu'an Hou, walked to the window curiously and asked, "Can Minrui rush back today?" Tomorrow will be the Winter Solstice Festival. ”

"It's hard to say, don't look at the city without snow, but it is rumored to be snowing on that side."

Ding Jian also paced to the window.

The song is quite fresh, and I have never heard it before.

The three sons of the high gate stand side by side.

This is the third floor.

And in front of the windows on the first and second floors, there are a few rich sons who are not calm.

There are deep types, and there are many hearts, and they only whisper a few words, and let them go next door to explore the situation.

See what is sold inside, and if there is anything suitable for men.

What's going on there, how did you attract so many real nobles to come?

There are those who love to babble, and those who love to show off, among which there is a little fat man who looks fifteen or sixteen years old, lying in front of the window, and signing up with a few friends:

"That's the car of the concubine of the imperial historian, I don't know which concubine came.

It was from the family of the scholars of the Middle Pole Temple.

It was Dr. Guanglu's family.

It was from the Ministry of Works.

Yo, that's the car of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War.

Well? That one is from the Marquis of Anning's Mansion. ”

The little fat man kept breaking the news according to the carriage.

Although I can't see what the lady and lady look like, as soon as they get off the car, they will be surrounded by a few maids and immediately enter the store, and the carriage will be immediately led to the backyard garage.

However, I feel that I only broke the news, and I also feel that it is enjoyable. The main thing is that it's too neat.

These family members in Fengtian City who would tremble when they stomped their feet were all attracted.

It's no wonder that Miss Lu San, before and after getting married, is a well-known figure in the circle of noble girls.

After such a revelation, several sons' little servants also went downstairs silently, went straight to the next door, and explored the way for their young masters.

Let's help the young masters touch the truth first: talented and beautiful, what is that house for, can you let the talented man go in?

I'm sorry, we don't accept male guests for the time being, and you can only take out on the first floor.

The shopkeeper Qi of the bookstore looked at the people coming in and out, and sighed deeply in his heart.

After a while, the little fat man who broke the news just now, he pointed to the corner downstairs and said, "Look, the eldest young master of Qi Mansion is also here." ”

Isn't it normal for the eldest young master of Qi Mansion to come? Someone's daughter-in-law's shop.

Abnormal.

Because Qi Dongming didn't look at the guzheng playing upstairs, he didn't get close to see the cake picture hanging on the outer wall, and he didn't believe it and walked into the store to take a look.

He only stared at the "black technology" firecracker cones that had been burned on the ground.

Right now, the five firecracker cones have been shattered into slag.

Qi Dongming looked at the scum and thought:

He had to ask the lady carefully who made this.

Because of this, it may be useful for the army.

You know, fireworks can only be used at night, don't look at it when it blooms to be gorgeous and colorful. But when it is set off during the day, it is impossible to distinguish the colors at all.

From a distance, it is a shining light, a sound, and white smoke.

At present, the signal flare of the army can only emit white smoke and command the long ranks in the rear. According to the signal, go forward, stop, etc.

Sometimes it's inconvenient.

Because in any case, it is white smoke, it can only be white, it is difficult to distinguish, and there are a few more lit, what does one sound represent, and a few sounds, what does it represent.

And there is still a situation in this, that is, once the line is long, the back can't hear a few sounds in front of it at all, so you have to rely on the messengers.

It also takes time for the messengers to be fast.

So, if the flare can be modified to be colored, you can see what color it is during the day. What does the red command represent, what does the green represent, and then it is higher than the one just put, then, it will save a lot of effort.

The more Qi Dongming thought about it, the more he felt that it was very feasible, so he called the little servant, "Go, look for the maid next to your grandmother, just say what I said, and let her ask me where the artillery battle came from." ”

When Qi Dongming's servant entered the store, the store was the busiest.

Can you not be busy? There are so many small guys next door, and some individual customers.

Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law, Xiao Wang, wearing a blue floral apron, a blue floral headscarf, and white gloves, is introducing dim sum to customers who have not yet paid for it, and decorating dim sum for customers who have already paid for it.

Hearing the sound of the door, together with Mrs. Ma, who was at the cashier, said with a smile: "Welcome," after shouting these words, they will continue to be busy with their work. That's the rule in the store.

Qi Dongming's little servant, since he came in, he didn't dare to speak loudly.

Strangely, as soon as I entered the store, I felt very warm, and my nose was filled with a sweet fragrance.

And on the first floor, with so many customers, there are people who bring children in, which should have been noisy, but no.

The guests seemed to be like him, inspired by the atmosphere, illuminated by the lights, shocked by the waxed floor, and the decoration they had never seen, and automatically lowered their volume.

He was even standing at the door, some distance away, and could hear the ladies who were picking up snacks and bagging them, introducing:

"It's called Hug Four Brothers, which is four colors of cake put together, so that they can all taste it. The price can also be cheaper, which is much more suitable than buying a single block.

A single piece is 65 yuan, and a group of four yuan is 2 yuan silver.

This one, this one is called a shake biscuit bucket, and there are all kinds of biscuits in it. You can try any flavor.

If you want cakes, biscuits, bread, cream sticks, and cheese, you can buy them all and try them, and you don't have to pick up a few pieces of each. ”

At the same time, Mrs. Ma checked the price tag form drawn by her little granddaughter for her, "A total of 190 yuan, thanks for your patronage." ”

Xiao Gao, who had a blue turban and a blue apron, walked over and bent down and asked, "Guest officer, please inside." "Signal you not to go upstairs, at least no male guests will be accepted today, you will go to the first floor for me.

"No, I'm looking for someone to bother you......" Qi Dongming's little guy didn't bother others by himself. In the past, where he went, the shopkeepers outside had to call him Shengye, but now I feel that it is troublesome to ask the female guy to call him.

When Mrs. Ma lifted the curtain behind the cash register, she saw that Song Fuling and Xiao Song were making cakes and milk tea. I also advise people, don't be nervous, not every cake flower has to squeeze the same shape, you are casual.

The biggest problem with these people is that they are too serious, holding a cake pen like a grenade, lest they do it badly.

Originally, she studied very well at home, but she was nervous when she got to Zhenzhang, and she had to end up in person today.

However, there are too many customers today, and I really can't be a shopkeeper, and I can't be busy.

"Director?" Mrs. Ma shouted.

Song Fuling leaned over, and after listening to what was going on, "You tell Bi'e to call someone to find my father to write about the production process." ”

After saying that, I didn't take it too seriously.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the ladies and ladies of the various families dispersed, and one carriage after another stopped at the door.

This time, none of the ladies called by Lu Zhiwan were the wives in charge, all of them were some young daughters-in-law, as well as some young ladies from various provinces.

She thinks that new things depend on young people.

Moreover, these people have to have a common topic with her, and they can talk about it together.

In the afternoon, it was just over two o'clock, when someone pushed the door in again, Xiao Gao, who was wiping the display table, hurriedly bowed and apologized: "Sold out." ”

Visitor: "......" what, is it so sought-after? The sign outside says that it is only open until 3:30 p.m. every day, which is enough, but when is it now, and it is out of sales?

……

"Come, give us a round of applause."

Lao Ma and Lao Tian applauded the most.

Mrs. Ma is happy, the money she collected today, my God, compared to before, I can't think about it.

Although today's female guests, one person has a set of nine-square grids, drinking tea and eating this and that, they are all settled by Miss Lu San.

Mrs. Ma looked at Song Fuling, her eyes were full: Thank you.

Fat girl, all the tastes in grandma's heart today, living like a dream, are all from you.

Thank you for making me a shopkeeper and making my portrait really hang outside.

Thank you even more, I believe that milk can do.

I can't read, you say, milk, you can do it.

You draw me a table, make a price tag, and let me look at the picture and draw a bar underneath, and I can understand the money.

Mrs. Ma turned around in a hurry, she couldn't be sensational anymore, she couldn't cry on a happy day, she pretended to be in a hurry, she was talking, she was chattering, no matter how happy she was, she had to pick up the store.

Mrs. Tian also smiled with a wrinkled face, and she knelt on the ground to wipe the floor and laughed.

Thought:

In the future, whoever says that she works hard to clean the toilet, she will say that she can better serve the people who go to the toilet.

If the person in the toilet needs it, she can even kneel to serve.

You know how much she got in tips today, Emma, two and a half. The store manager and the director both said that they should keep this kind of money by themselves.

This is not a small number, and only a few young ladies have said that they have been rewarded, and the others have not yet been said. Illustrates that there is still room for improvement.

Xiao Gao, Xiao Wang, Xiao Song, they are also busy, with a smile on their faces and know how to summarize.

Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law said happily, "I have to sell it like this, I have to stand here, and I found ...... today."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the high butcher also clapped her hands and said, "No, I have also summed it up, when I go in to greet people, I should have my back to the stairs, and I don't have to send it to the guest officer to our store manager. ”

Song Fugui's mother-in-law has a very good temper, and while working, she reviews Mrs. Ma and Song Fuling, saying that she is slow today, and when there are many customers, she is a little panicked.

……

"Baozhu, rest early, you're tired. Dadezi, and your sister-in-law, lock the door before and after. ”

Baozhu stood at the door of the backyard and waved, "You guys slow down, see you tomorrow morning." ”

Looking back, the orb didn't stop at all.

Her brother asked her, "Why are you working so late?" ”

"Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice Festival, brother, since we have come to this store, we must be closer to people. I thought about it, greedy black to make a pair of socks for the store manager and Grandma Hetian. In this shop, the two of them are old. ”

and also instructed her brother: "Brother, hurry up and fetch water for you and send it to the stove." You are the only one in this store, and you play it well in advance. ”

Da Dezi nodded in agreement, sweeping the yard and fetching water and other gravity work for him, young man, it is not appropriate to spend some effort.

The probe looked outside: "It's snowing, and they are not easy people, and I don't know if they have arrived home." ”

When you get home, you get home, it's hard to walk, and the more you go, the bigger the snow becomes.

Four squads, those who drove the car, those who pushed the cart, and ran to the house.

Many "family members" came out, and without waiting to say anything else, they announced first: "Grandpa said, tomorrow on the winter solstice, let's make dumplings, hurry, go home, and enter the house." ”

Mrs. Ma finished collecting the money from the other three squads in the house, and also came out with the money and said, "Rich." ”

"Whoa!"

"Here, please, tomorrow, you come back after selling peppers, buy ten big fat chickens, let's eat dumplings in the morning and stew chickens next night."

The children were instantly boiling.

Every family, there are also many daughters-in-law and girls' families who are lighting lamps and boiling oil tonight, including the eldest girl and the second peach blossom, who have been busy in the cake room for a day, but they want to make socks and shoes for the elders in the dark.

The niece Peach Blossom had a heart, and also made shoes for Song Fusheng and Qian Peiying, and began to prepare after ten days, and the needles have not been confiscated until now. Because she still has to do it for her grandmother, for her own father, and for Mrs. Ma.

If you want to say that you have the best sleep tonight, it is Song Fusheng's house.

Although Song Fusheng knew that there was such a saying on the ancient winter solstice, the younger generation should send some handmade things to the elders, but he was tired and thought: Don't do that set of formalism.

His little pepper, because it didn't grow particularly big, never sold. Tomorrow he will have to get up early in the morning, pick chili peppers, and take people to open up his chili market. I can't pick up many catties of stubble, so I have to go out.

He didn't say anything.

Song Lingling is, she doesn't say.

If you know that she is also: Woo woo, so tired, I want to sleep and wake up naturally.

She didn't even reconcile the accounts today, put all the money in her grandmother's place, came back for a mouthful of food, and lay down on the kang without participating in the excitement of everyone. I fell asleep after a while.

When Mrs. Ma came to see her, Song Fuling had already rolled from her own quilt to Mi Shou's quilt unconsciously, her younger brother was warm, and her younger brother's small body was warm.

Fifteen households, Li Xiu's family, who turned off the lights at the end, didn't she also want to make socks for Grandpa Song and Mrs. Ma. A woman with a child, lighting a stove and burning a kang, working a lot, before collecting the needle.

Li Xiucai lay down for a while, and at this time it was already more than one o'clock in the middle of the night, and she heard a sound, as if some animal was calling, and opened her eyes suddenly.

patted the son next to him, re-lit the oil lamp and went to the ground, touched a kitchen knife in the stove room, and then pushed open the door of the house, looked around, and belched my mother: "Come on!! ”

Next to her house is Song Fugui's family.

Song Fugui ran out again without putting on his shoes, and his mind was full of waking up like a dream.

I feel like I'm still thinking about it, eating dumplings or something like gnawing on chicken thighs.

When I ran out and looked, I woke up from the dream immediately, and my heart was not good, and my heart was also pounding.

Just look, there are many pairs of green eyes standing outside the courtyard, and there are already two wolves stepping on the tip of the iron, and they are injured and will rush into the courtyard.

At this time, it was also smoking and snowing outside. In other words, I love to burn a fire outside on weekdays, but I don't burn it today, how can it burn when it snows, and the wind is strong.

Song Fuguijia and Li Xiu immediately sang a duet, Mom? Mom, I shouted several times before everyone came out one after another.

I'm tired and sleep to death.

Everyone immediately brandished the iron sticks that had been prepared long ago.

Spending so much money on it, there is a feeling of waiting for this moment to come.

The last shot is Song Lingling's eyes widening in horror, and her ears are full of wolves howling, as if she is signaling to the wolves on the mountain.

She saw a wolf coming straight to her father: "Get up! ”

Song Poria, who was scattered in a cloak, snapped and shot the crossbow out.

At four o'clock in the morning, the official road.

Two teams of officials were dispatched from Tong Song Town and hurried to Renjia Village.

The leader of them was a man in his twenties who had a broken right forearm.

At the fork in the road, the man suddenly dismounted and knelt solemnly.

He can continue to be an errand boy even if he loses his arm, and he is still a head catcher, all thanks to the most respected in his heart: "General." ”

Lu Pan had a frosty face, and the fox fur coat was covered with snow.

He sat on his horse and looked at the kneeling man.

This man had retired from the battlefield, and every time he saw this man's arm, he felt a pang of pity in his heart.

Shunzi behind Lu Pan was wearing a Shunzi mask, and her eyelashes were also covered with frost.

It can be seen that the two of them rushed back from the military camp in the suburbs, and today is the Winter Solstice Festival, and they must also rush back, through wind and rain.

"What to do."

"Back to General, Renjia Village, there was an incident of a vicious wolf going down the mountain to hurt people, and there have been four deaths and seven injuries."

Lu Pan nodded, and drove his horse on.

But the horse's hooves only walked forward a few dozen meters away, and the leader who reported to Lu Pan also stood up, only looking at General Lu's horse, and suddenly turned around.

Lu Pan's fur coat flew against the wind and snow.

"Drive!"

Shunzi also hurriedly waved his whip: Renjia Village, where is Xiao Shou, and I heard the little guy say that the group of refugees lives on the side of the mountain.
