The brick falls like snow, and the body is still full.

The wind blew the fallen flowers, and there were many pedestrians on the road, and outside a low gray and white wall, a group of people surrounded a thin man wearing a short jacket and bunching his hair.

The man had a pair of small triangular eyes, and a huge black mole between his eyebrows, and as he spoke, the mole also shook up and down, like a beating grasshopper.

The people around stared at the "grasshopper" and listened attentively, and as soon as he finished speaking, they took out the silver in their arms and bought the wooden sign that the man was holding in his hand.

The wooden sign is Shanji's membership card.

There are only 500 Shanji membership cards, and the store has been sold out yesterday, and only Ruyi took out these dozen or so.

Song Ruyi's elder brother Song Yitao took these wooden cards and earned ten taels of silver here in the morning.

Satisfied, he took the silver into his arms, and was about to leave, when suddenly another man came out of the low wall.

"I heard, what kind of membership brand do you sell here?"

Someone asked aloud.

"You're just out of luck, it's just sold out, it's gone." Song Yitao clapped his hands and signaled that his hands were empty.

The man smiled: "I don't want a brand, I just want to know, how did you get this thing?" ”

That man was Da Haru.

He listened to the instructions of the shopkeeper Tong to inquire where the guys in the mountain record came from, and how did he know that the people in the mountain record were more stubborn than the other, and they wandered for a long time, but they found nothing.

On the way back, I happened to run into Song Yitao, who was reselling the brand.

Song Yitao grinned: "My sister-in-law is a maid in Shanji." ”

"Oh, I see." Da Chun's eyes lit up.

didn't wait to ask again, but I heard Song Yitao say again: "Once upon a time, I used to be a maid in Shanji." ”

"Why didn't you do it?" Da Chun was puzzled, "Shanji is now the best restaurant in our Xinning, and the boss of Shanji is making a lot of money, so why do you have to drink spicy food with it." ”

"Hey, it's not for these dozen signs." Song Yitao scratched her head, "My sister is clumsy, so the boss found out." ”

"Can't you beg the boss to let your sister stay?" Da Chun thought in his heart, "In this way, you let your sister go and beg for mercy, if you can go in again, I will give you brothers and sisters ten taels of silver." ”

"This ......" Song Yitao was strange and surprised, "Why is this?" ”

Da Chun patted Song Yitao on the shoulder: "You just have to do it, when the time comes, this benefit will be indispensable to you!" ”

……

On the day of the beginning of winter, early in the morning, Jin Xiaolou reconciled the noodles, covered the dough with a dustpan and woke up, and she pinched the green onions with Guizhi to make the filling.

The two sat by the well in the backyard and scooped up the water from the well to wash the shallots as green as jade.

As soon as I looked up, I saw that Ruyue walked in from outside with Lin'er in her arms, and Ruyi was still following behind her.

"Shopkeeper, this girl said that she lost her job, and she went back and was beaten by her brother, and she wanted to beg you to let her stay." The situation Ruyue pushed Ruyi forward.

Jin Xiaolou saw a bruise on the girl's neck, which seemed to have been beaten with a stick.

In this winter, Ruyi is still only wearing a single coat, and her little face is blue from the cold, and it looks strange and pitiful.

"Your brother treats you like this, and you steal the membership card for him?" Jin Xiaolou spoke up.

Ruyi plopped down and knelt down, but this time he couldn't pull her up.

She threw herself on the ground and choked up: "Boss Jin, it's all my mind, I won't dare next time, but if you kick me out, my brother doesn't want me, this cold day, I ...... I'm just afraid I'm going to freeze to death outside. ”

"What about loyalty cards? You've given it all to your brother? Jin Xiaolou asked.

Ruyi nodded tearfully: "Well, after giving it to him, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and kicked me out of the house with a stick." ”

"It's stupid." Jin Xiaolou leaned down again to pull her, "Get up, it's cold on the ground." ”

Ruyi's eyes widened: "The shopkeeper can forgive me and allow me to stay?" ”

Jin Xiaolou nodded: "Don't do foolish things in the future, let's make dumplings today, you can also go and take a hand." ”

Watching Ruyi happily run away, Jin Xiaolou let out a long sigh.

Women in this era have to look at their father's and brother's eyes before they get married, and they have to listen to their father-in-law's words after they get married.

Thinking about it, I saw that in the half-open curtain, Gui Zhi was already rolling up the skin, and quickly rolled up his sleeves and walked inside.

In Xinning County, there was a reunion dinner in the beginning of winter, and Jin Xiaolou closed the shop for a day and gave the guys in the store a holiday.

Except for Lu Yun, who was an orphan girl and had no home to go back to, the rest of the guys went home.

At this moment, the rest of the people were all gathered in the kitchen, Jin Xiaolou cut the best pork and beat the eggs in it, added cabbage and shallots, and made the filling, and poured sesame oil, and the greedy Gao Lang immediately came up.

Gui Zhi and Lu Yun rolled out the skin on a cutting board, Ruyi picked up firewood and sat in front of the stove to light the fire, and their faces finally had some blood.

Guo Ruyue handed Lin'er into Gao Lang's arms and wrapped dumplings with Jin Xiaolou.

Gao Lang took a small piece of dough and handed it to Lin'er, Lin'er smiled, like a clay man, kneading the dough into various shapes, and after a while, his little face was already white and black.

The next moment, Gao Lang suddenly raised his head and sneezed loudly, and the white flour sprayed was floating everywhere like snow.

"Come on, you've got this dumpling." Guo Ruyue patted the flour on her body and smiled angrily.

Who knew that Gao Lang suddenly shoved Lin'er to Zhou Shuli, who was standing on the side: "Lady, I have a headache, I want to go back to my room to sleep." ”

Jin Xiaolou was stunned, and he was a little worried, but he was cold.

Seeing that Gao Lang had already left the kitchen, Jin Xiaolou hurriedly went to the stove to cook a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea and brought it into Gao Lang's house.

Gao Lang nestled in the quilt, and only his furry head was exposed.

Jin Xiaolou knocked on the top of his head: "Get up first and drink ginger tea, maybe it's cold, just sweat and sleep." ”

Gao Lang didn't move, and said angrily: "Lady, I don't drink, you let me sleep for a while, okay?" ”

Jin Xiaolou frowned: "Then do you still get up to eat dumplings at night?" ”

Gao Lang's eyes suddenly popped out and blinked: "Eat, the lady wraps the dumplings, I must get up and eat." ”

"But......" Gao Lang paused, "don't wrap it too fast, I'm going to get up very late." ”

"Okay." Jin Xiaolou was helpless, and put the small bowl on the table, "Then I won't call you, you can eat when you can get up, you can't get up, just let us eat two more." ”

After speaking, he tucked the quilt corner for Gao Lang and walked out of the house with a smile.

"The shopkeeper, there is a post sent by a small servant in the house, inviting you to go." Lu Yun took a post and ran over, "That little guy is still waiting in front." ”

Jin Xiaolou took the post, saw that it was Meng Guangmei, and invited Jin Xiaolou to the Hefu dinner.

Jin Xiaolou pinched the post and walked to the kitchen, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm still not going, I said I would eat dumplings with you today." ”

When you eat dumplings in Lidong, you naturally have to eat them with your family.

Gui Zhi laughed: "I heard that there are going to be fireworks in Hefu tonight, it's rare to see, Xiaolou, you have to go and see it!" ”

"Guizhi is right." Guo Ruyue wrapped the washed copper coins in the dumplings and said, "Besides, you can come back after watching the fireworks, we are waiting for you." ”

Also, a good relationship with Meng Guangmei is also beneficial to Shanji.

Today's banquet in Hefu will presumably invite people with heads and faces in Xinning, and if you can also attend, you can add face to Shanji.

Jin Xiaolou nodded: "Okay, I'll come back as soon as possible, I still have to eat a good fortune today!" ”

"Guizhi, do you want to come with me?" Jin Xiaolou asked, "Do you want to watch the fireworks?" ”

Gui Zhi smiled even more happily: "You can play by yourself, I have to wrap these colorful heads in dumplings at home, otherwise you will come back and eat the northwest wind?" ”

Gui Zhi said and pointed to the copper coins and jujubes in front of him.

Jin Xiaolou also laughed, lowered his head, and walked forward.

The little servant of Hefu waited outside in a carriage, and after a while, he pulled Jin Xiaolou to the gate of Hefu.

The vermilion lacquer door opened, and there was a little maid in a purple jacket in the sedan hall, and when she saw Jin Xiaolou coming, she hurriedly greeted her.

Jin Xiaolou saw that the person who came was not hollyhock, nor hibiscus, and before he could ask, the maid said: "The slave's name is Ziluo, and today's lady has a lot of things, so she left Sister Hollyhock and Sister Hibiscus by her side to help, and instructed the slave and maid to receive the girl, and asked Miss Jin not to be surprised." ”

Jin Xiaolou bowed his head and followed Ziluo around the verandah and walked towards the courtyard of the oblique lane.

Jin Xiaolou had been to Meng Guangmei's Xiangxue Pavilion several times, so he naturally knew the way, and when he saw that the road was wrong, he was a little puzzled, and was about to ask, but the maid replied first: "Don't worry, the lady has someone from her mother's house, and she is talking in the Xiangxue Pavilion, so the slave maid will take the girl to Yunyuxuan to sit for a while, and then take the girl to the front hall to watch the play." ”

followed Ziluo over the small garden, and saw the sign of Yunyuxuan in the distance.

Through the moon cave door, two wisteria in the small courtyard, I don't know what the reason is, this season is still blooming, the purple flower string is falling heavily, the wind blows, falling thin petals, like clouds and rain, extraordinarily lovely.

Ziluo walked to the door of the main hall of Yunyuxuan, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Jin Xiaolou frowned, why are there still people in the house?

After a while, a male voice sounded inside: "Are you here?" ”

Ziluo bowed down through the door and said softly, "Miss Jin has arrived." ”

The more Jin Xiaolou listened, the more wrong it became, it seemed that the people in this room let her come, and her intuition made her turn her head and want to leave.

Unexpectedly, the door in front of her slammed open, and the Ziluo looked thin, and her strength was unexpectedly great, and she slapped Jin Xiaolou's waist suddenly, making her dizzy and falling into the room.

The warm fragrance in the room rushed to his nose, Jin Xiaolou fell to the ground, and when he looked up, he saw Jin Xiang's smiling face.
