Chapter 167: Troubled and happy

In this life, people will meet all kinds of people, all kinds of people, many people. Some people will become your family, become your companions in life, and some people will become your friends and leave a strong mark.

And some people will intersect with you for a short time, and then they will slowly fade out of your journey, be replaced by others or forgotten. Others just pass by and don't stop, and even after a few days you forget about him and can't remember this person.

The relationship between the two families and the Chen family is no longer what it used to be, and they will probably only go further and further apart in the future, and they will become the one who fades out of each other after a short stay.

It's a pity, after all, it's been a good brother for a few years. However, if the Tao is different, it will only be a nodding friend in the future.

As for Liu Fang, it's probably the same.

After noon, the sun that had been early in the past quietly showed its face at this time. The winter sun is different from the summer, she is like a mother, she restricts all the dazzling and difficult to see the sharp light on her body, exudes a soft light, and shines on the body of just the right amount of warmth.

After eating lunch and afternoon, there was nothing to do, and after sitting in Du Chun's yard for a while and basking in the sun, the sun was very lazy and comfortable.

Almost an hour later, they closed the door and basked in the sun, and walked slowly and leisurely towards the town. A group of four people, talking and laughing on the road, stopping and resting when they are tired, and getting up and walking again when they have rested enough.

It took half an hour to get to the town like this, and it was strange to say that no one thought that time had passed, and on the contrary, there was an illusion that they had arrived in town so soon today.

It's quite funny.

The town on the first day of junior high school is still lively, and these days are the time to make money, and there are still many people who open their doors and set up stalls to do business in order to live. Especially the big restaurants, it seems that they have not stopped all year round, and business has been good.

This year, because of the fall of the Zheng family, the shops below were implicated, closed and closed, and sealed and closed, in addition to making many people lose their jobs and almost have a bad year. It also made other restaurants and other shops in the town have more customers.

Especially the Fuju Building, where the business is already good, is so whole. Now you go there to eat, you don't let people line up in advance, you may not have a seat when you go, and you have to wait for a long time, especially during the Chinese New Year.

Some people think that once a year, they simply go to the restaurant for the New Year, and the reunion dinner will be enough. After eating, drinking, and chatting, I don't know how long it will take, but I have to wait anyway.

Fortunately, Wange originally planned to invite Du Chun and the others to dinner there, and asked Qian Cui to help them set the location early. However, because there are too many people, the private room cannot be grabbed, but it is not easy to grab the position in the lobby.

The lobby of the Fuju Building was full, several people sat in it and the people around them were lively and lively, men raised wine glasses, women raised soup bowls to celebrate this hard-won reunion, but also to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. This year is off to a good start, and I think the year will be smooth and smooth.

It's also quite incredible, think about being able to fry a few side dishes in the town to eat is already amazing, where is it like now if you want to come here to eat here to eat (provided that there is a position), although you don't earn a lot of money, but at least you don't have to worry about money.

Sometimes one choice at a junction can change your life. It's like a late song, like Jiang Qingyue, the Jiang family.

The New Year here is happy and lively, but the Jiang family over there is a dark cloud, and even the smell of the New Year can't be dispelled. Even when Jiang Cheng came back, he couldn't change anything.

Yesterday, I quarreled over the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, because most of the dishes on the table were vegetarian, just two plates of meat, and there was no wine. After a few chopsticks, the meat is gone, and the rivers and seas will get angry if they don't eat enough. shouted that he would fix these dishes for the New Year, and he kept arguing with the Shen family about this matter, and he couldn't stop persuading him.

Jiang Cheng couldn't bear the annoyance and slammed the door directly, too lazy to listen to them arguing there again over some trivial matters.

As many days as I came back, there were as many fights as I had. He walked out now, no matter where he went, especially in the village, he felt that everyone looked at him as if they were laughing at him, and his heart was very angry.

In this way, how can he go to the imperial examination at the beginning of the year with peace of mind, it would be good not to be held back by them.

Think about the days before the accident, who didn't stammer him and call him Jiang. Childe's. Now when he goes out, everyone looks at him like anything, and he hardly goes out in the few days since he comes back, and he is still uneasy at home. All day long, for some trivial things, noisy and shouting, no one will spare anyone.

I don't know when such a day will be a head.

A few people on the other side ate and drank until dark, and the lanterns outside were lit before they came out of the restaurant.

When people are drunk, they originally planned to go shopping again, but now they can't. He beckoned two carriages, each sat down and waved goodbye, and went back to his house.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I helped people in and before I could sit down, I heard someone knocking on the door outside.

"Who came here so late?" Wan Ge handed the poured tea to Song Ji and said that she would go and have a look.

"Wait a minute." Song Yu took her hand and put the teacup on the table: "I'll go and see, you can rest for a while." ”

I didn't have a good rest all day today, and I walked so far, and it was still tiring to stop and go. And it's already dark, and it's not appropriate for Wange to open the door.

"But you ......."

"I'm fine, I didn't drink him that much."

Maybe it's really because he's so happy, Zhao Zhuang drinks bowl after bowl when he eats, the same as drinking water. Song Jiu is okay, and his alcohol consumption is still too rare to get drunk. It's because he is still quite sober now, not to the point of Zhao Zhuang.

"Who."

Walking to the door, Song Jiu did not open the door in a hurry, but took the lead in asking about the situation of the people outside.

"Boss Song, I'm Dong Ming, the guard next to Lord Li, and I saw it last time in the Adult's Courtyard."

Hearing that it was the person next to Li Zhang, Song Jiu frowned, and the evening song next to him also tightened his hands. She walked over quickly and grabbed Song Jiu's hand.

"It's fine." Song Jiu patted the back of her hand and told her not to worry.

He believed that since Li Zhang wrote a letter of guarantee to Shen Liang, it showed that Li Zhang believed in him, and there was no reason for him to be arrested after he returned. And I didn't catch it when I first came back, and I didn't come until now.

But the evening song still didn't listen, and grabbed Song Jiu's hand tightly. She should have asked out loud just now, so that she could directly say that Song Jiu was not there.

The people outside couldn't hear the echo inside for a long time, so they continued to ask, "Is Boss Song here?" We adults want to ask you to catch up on the old days, but I don't know if you have time. ”

"Look, I said it would be fine." Otherwise, who will arrest you and knock politely on the door and call you Boss Song. If it were the original two, it would be time to go straight to the door and kick the door.

Knowing that he wasn't here to arrest people, Wan Ge was a little determined. However, she was still very puzzled, was the governor okay to do? Why did they want to find Song Jiu on the first day of the Lunar New Year to catch up with the old people, they don't necessarily know each other well, otherwise Song Jiu should have opened the door directly when he heard that it was Li Zhang's person just now. And he won't have been in town for so long, and now Song Jiu has only come back.

"Maybe it's because of the token!" Song Jiu's mind flashed the surprise on Li Zhang's face when he saw the token, and what he asked at that time.

He couldn't think of anything else than that.

"Are you going, then?" Wan Ge looked at him worriedly, she didn't have a good impression of the official family at all, as soon as she saw someone from the yamen coming, she suddenly panicked in her heart, and she didn't have a good impression at all.

"People specially came to invite them, and they couldn't say anything if they didn't go." No sooner had they arrived than they could sit down on the stool when there was a knock at the door. Saying that people are not waiting outside, he doesn't believe anything. If he does this job, if he refuses, won't he give Li Zhang face.

Song Yu touched Wan Ge's head and asked her to go up to rest first, and he followed the people and came back as soon as possible.

Knowing that she couldn't stop it, Wan Ge had to suppress all her worries and slowly let go of the person's hand: "Be careful on the road." ”

"I know, I'll be back soon, don't worry."

"Hmm!"

After appeasing the evening song, Song Jiu opened the door under his gaze.

At the door stood Dong Ming, who was dressed in green clothes, with his hair tied up and a waist knife at his waist: "Boss Song, I'm really disturbed." ”

Song Jiu asked him if he had anything? Can't you go tomorrow? On the first day of the new year, he came back again and wanted to spend more time with his family.

"Boss Song is really sorry, what adults mean is that the sooner the better."

was called out on the first day of the new year, and sometimes Dong Ming couldn't understand what his family was thinking. It doesn't seem to be anything to wait for one more night, it can't change anything, Li Zhang is so stubborn and stubborn, he just wants to see people today. No, in the winter, they squatted outside and didn't come back until it was dark at night.

Song Jiu nodded clearly, closed the door with his backhand and said, "Then let's go!" ”

"Thank you for your understanding."

Dong Ming came on horseback, and when he went back, he carried Song Jiu, and the horse ran in the cold wind. There were still a lot of people on the street at night, and Dong Ming tried his best to pick up the alley where there were not many people and rushed back. According to Li Zhang's temper, I am afraid that after waiting for so long, I have not yet waited for someone, and if I don't go back soon, I will be beaten.

In fact, he was right.

At first, Li Zhang was still stable, after all, on the first day of the new year, he went to visit relatives and friends to worship his ancestors. Dong Ming may not necessarily meet people when he goes, so he will have to wait. Just wait, wait, wait, wait, wait until it was dark Dong Ming hadn't come back, Li Zhang couldn't sit still.

The person walked anxiously in the front hall with his hands behind his back, walked over and walked over, and as he walked, he muttered what Dong Ming was doing, why didn't he come back. is so slow to do things, and when the time comes back, he has to talk about him.
