When the first snow fell in the capital, Xing Ruyi was dozing off in the rouge shop with a hot cup of tea.

The wind blew the cotton curtain, and the fine snow came in through the cracks in the blown cotton curtain with the wind, and before it could fall to the ground, it turned into mist.

Behind the counter, a small mouth kept chattering, talking about the new things that happened in Luoyang City.

The owner of the small mouth, named Magpie, was "picked up" from outside when the fox went out. The little girl had just turned thirteen, and she was at a lively and lovely age, except for a little broken mouth, always chirping like a magpie, and doing things quite properly. Nowadays, it can be regarded as a scenery in the rouge shop, and those ladies and ladies who come to buy rouge gouache always like to ask her when they have nothing to do.

For example, the girl who is waiting to be married, how old is it, and what is the family background. For another example, who has a husband to marry, this in-law and mother-in-law are easy to get along with. It's strange to say that the little girl, who has just turned thirteen, knows everything.

The little magpie is talking about the rare thing that happened to Grandma Liu, a blacksmith shop in the east of the city. This Grandma Liu is nearly sixty years old, but she was suddenly pregnant recently, and it is said that she is still pregnant with a daughter. Because of this incident, Grandma Liu's two daughters-in-law made trouble with her, but this Grandma Liu and Grandpa Liu were like enchanted and had to give birth to the child alive or dead.

Seeing that Grandma Liu's belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day, and her body was getting heavier and heavier day by day, Grandma Liu's two daughters-in-law actually joined forces to sue their in-laws in court, and asked the government to put pressure on them on the grounds of immorality, so that Grandma Liu and Grandma Liu broke off the idea of having children.

But as the saying goes, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, not to mention that it is still a matter of Grandma Liu's stomach. The government will take it, this matter can't be managed. No, the two daughters-in-law of Grandma Liu's family are extremely difficult. Because of this incident, the lord of the government has been sick for several days, and he doesn't even dare to open the door of the government.

"What about Grandma Liu's son? The daughter-in-law persecuted her father and mother like this, could it be that Grandma Liu's two sons were behind her idea? ”

"Then Grandma Liu and Grandpa Liu's two sons are long gone." The magpie rubbed his nose and came out of the counter: "It's strange to say, there are many rare things in this Luoyang City, and their Liu family is rare." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"My sister hasn't been in Luoyang for many years, so I'm afraid I don't know about the Liu family." The magpie dragged a stool and sat down in front of Xing Ruyi, pulled the blanket covering her on top of it, and after confirming that there was no ventilation, he continued: "This Grandma Liu's eldest son is also a blacksmith, and he took over the business of Grandpa Liu's ironwork early. When he was twenty years old, he made peace with the matchmaker and married a girl from the Ma family in the suburbs. This horse girl is also a spicy person, and it is said that she is also a match for this Liu family, but this seemingly good marriage has gone wrong. ”

"What's wrong?"

"As soon as this horse girl married into their Liu family on the front foot, rumors came out on the back foot. said that the reason why this horse girl agreed to marry the Liu family was because of the bad reputation in the countryside. said that she was entangled with her cousin and had already been married. What's even more coincidental is that not long after this horse girl married into the Liu family, she was really pregnant. Now, it seems that those rumors have been implemented.

This Liu family is an honest and generous character, and when he hears such rumors, he will inevitably go to his heart. This man, there are only a few ways to relieve his boredom. ”

"Which ones?" Whenever she heard a magpie speak in such a tone, Xing Ruyi couldn't help but laugh out loud, so she quipped: "You said that you, obviously you are still a child, how can you always talk so worldly." ”

"Is there one?" The magpie blinked and asked: "That's because my sister hasn't seen a monkey, if I see him, I'm afraid I will think that the magpie will become more and more innocent and cute." ”

"Who is this monkey?"

"A friend I once knew."

"And what about him now? Is it still in Luoyang City? If so, find a time and invite him to come to the shop, so that my sister and I can take a look and see if he is as good as our magpie said. ”

"He's going to do something big, and when he comes back, I'll definitely take him to see my sister. Hmph, I must let this monkey know what it means that there is a sky outside the sky and there are people outside the people. My sister and the fox brother-in-law are much more powerful than him. ”

Xing Ruyi smiled and shook his head, turning the topic back to the Liu family.

"You haven't said how the Liu family relieves the boredom?"

My sister asked knowingly, this man relieved his boredom, in addition to looking for flowers and willows, he was drinking. This Liu family is a rough man, and the Liu family is just an ironworker, although life is not difficult, but he is not rich enough to let him go to find flowers and ask Liu to solve his depression. He likes to drink, and he is still the wine in Siniang's shop. ”

"Siniang?"

"That's right, it's the fourth mother in the wine shop that my sister said. It's a pity that she left Luoyang. The magpie shook his head regretfully: "In this Luoyang City, I'm afraid I won't be able to find such a delicious wine anymore." ”

"It's like you've drunk it." Xing Ruyi stretched out his index finger and poked it at the door of the magpie's head.

The magpie rubbed his forehead and muttered, "I drank it, and it was given by Siniang." I gave a lot, but unfortunately I drank it all up by the monkey. I'm a woman, my strength is weak, I grabbed it for a long time, and I only tasted a small bite. The damn monkey even said, "Good woman, you can't drink." ”

"That monkey was right."

"It's wrong, it's wrong, and it's a big mistake. The magpie looked at her sister and also drank, but can my sister say that she is not a good woman? ”

"I'm different." Xing Ruyi raised his chin: "When I'm your size, I don't drink." Later, I drank because I married a husband who also liked to drink a few sips. Drinking with your husband can be regarded as the duty of a wife. ”

"So the magpie will have to find a husband who likes to drink in the future?" The magpie thought seriously, and was poked in the head by Xing Ruyi again.

"It's only a little older, and I'm thinking about getting married. Hurry up, finish the story you haven't finished, I'm sleepy, if I listen to the story halfway, I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep. ”

"Sister, don't worry." The magpie cleverly sent the hot tea to Xing Ruyi: "This Liu family elder also likes to drink some wine on weekdays, but all he drinks is flower wine." It's not the flower wine that my sister thinks, but the wine made from flowers in Siniang's wine shop, such as osmanthus wine. Think about it, such a man with five big and three thick likes to drink flower wine, which is quite goosebumps. However, on the day of the Liu family's accident, he drank spirits. ”

"I also bought it from Siniang Liquor Store?"

"Miss Ma said yes, but we didn't see it." The magpie replied with a seemingly ordinary, but actually profound sentence.

"And then?"

"The Liu family got drunk by himself."

"And then?"

"When he was drunk, he went to strike iron."

"And then?"

"Fell into the furnace where the iron was struck." The magpie made a somewhat exaggerated gesture: "When the Liu family found out, the Liu family had already melted with the molten iron in the stove, and half of his shoes were left on the side of the stove." Next to the shoe, there was also a flask of wine. ”

"Melted?" Xing Ruyi then frowned.

"Isn't it melting? The molten iron of the furnace was originally used to create a talisman weapon for a dart bureau, but when this happened, people didn't dare to ask for this weapon anymore. Because something happened to the Liu family, the people in the dart bureau did not pursue it, and they did not ask for it back after paying the fixed amount before. It is said that the water in the stove was beaten into something else, and Ah Gong Liu made a small profit because of this. Tsk, then again, this Ah Gong Liu is also a ruthless person, and if he changes someone else, he may not know what he will cry like. ”

"Then how did Liu Jiaerlang not have it?"

"It's even more bizarre when it comes to it." The magpie said, and his whole eyebrows flew up: "If the magpie says it, sister, don't be afraid." ”

"Magpie, do you look at your sister like such a timid person?"

"Naturally not, it's just that the matter of this Liu family Erlang is even more strange than that of this big man. Oh, by the way, sister, do you remember, I just mentioned, the furnace melted the molten iron? ”
