On the day of the winter solstice, the city of Yangzhou was sprinkled with snowflakes, the ship was suspended, and the pedestrians were scarce. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

In the boat moored on the dock, Liu Song and Wei Miao sat opposite each other, with a small red clay stove in the middle, the boiling hot water on it was boiling, and the water vapor was swirling, neither of them moved, sitting and watching the scene outside the cabin.

Liu Song said casually: "Ah Miao, haven't you been to see your sister recently?" ”

Wei Miao leaned back idly: "Big brother, if you want to go see my sister, go and see it, Lord Zhou is not here all the time." He suddenly straightened up, approached Liu Song, and suggested very sincerely: "...... But big brother, there is one thing I really don't understand, even if my sister is beautiful and has a good heart, but she is someone else's woman now, you really don't mind? ”

Not long after Ye Zhiqing came back, he went to Ye's mansion. With her there, Su Ming and the others didn't embarrass him anymore, but after all, it was different from the harmonious situation when he lived in Yefu.

Ye Zhiqing also asked him how he was doing outside, and Wei Miao smiled at the time: "I followed Brother Liu to do things, even if he looked at his sister, he didn't dare to treat me badly." At that time, an embarrassing smile appeared on her face, Wei Miao didn't know the twists and turns, but when the relationship between the two came naturally, it could be cultivated.

Two more trips to find out...... Zhou Hong actually took root in Yefu, and came to spend the night every now and then, and everyone in Yefu seemed to be accustomed to it, only his jaw almost fell off in surprise, and when he came back, he had the heart to grab Liu Song and ask, but he was afraid of hurting his heart, so he knocked on the side to know that Liu Song had already known.

He knew that he knew, but he didn't give up on Ye Zhiqing, this was what made Wei Miao puzzled.

Liu Song's gaze was retracted from the window, and he lowered his head and began to make tea, with a hint of melancholy in his voice: "Ah Miao, have you ever been spurned by everyone you know before?" ”

"Why not? When I was abducted by Lao Jiangtou, among the people I knew, Ah Kun and Ah Gen didn't hate me, and the rest had to spit in front of me when they walked over. He is now cut off from the old ginger, he has no worries about food and clothing, and his quality of life has improved many times.

Liu Song smiled: "Speaking of which, I am similar to you before, there is no one in the entire neighborhood who does not scold, and I met Ye Zi when I was the most depressed...... At that time, I was ashamed of my appearance, but I was a thief, and I always wanted to marry her into the family, and if I thought about it too much, I had evil thoughts. ”

Wei Miao had never heard Liu Song talk about his past with Ye Zhiqing, and when he met, he knew that he had a heart tied to Ye Zhiqing, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the middle section, and he didn't know the antecedents.

"And then? Big brother, you won't snatch her home, will you? He was purely ridiculous, but he didn't expect Liu Song to be shocked, and his expression was clearly written with the words "How do you know", and he was immediately happy: "...... Is there such a thing? ”

Liu Song rubbed his face in annoyance, and there was a bitter smile in his voice: "At that time, the ghost was confused, and he really knocked people out and took them home, and the excuse was very despicable, in fact, he just wanted to keep her by his side." Now that I think about it, it would have been better to keep people with me at that time! "I knew he had today.

Wei Miao also got closer to listen to the follow-up, looking like he hadn't heard it before, Liu Song slapped him on the head with a smile: "What kind of expression is this kid?" ”

"Brother Liu, I found ...... You've whetted my appetite! He added: "At that time, it was time to rob people." It's too much of a mother-in-law now. People like us, fighting outside when we are small, snatching food from others' mouths, cheating money in our purses, starving to death if we don't fight or grab, where do we need to pretend to be sanctimonious? If you like leaves, you don't have to wait! ”

Liu Song was a little swaying in his heart, Wei Miao's words were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, which suddenly made his heart explode with a bang, and the whole person was in good spirits: "You are right, if I don't marry her one day surnamed Zhou, I still have a chance!" He raised the teacup in his hand: "Replace wine with tea for my brother, I salute your words today!" ”

Most of what Wei Miao did before was to take a detour when he saw the official mission, and after many years of shadows, let him accept that Ye Zhiqing would marry the children of the official family, but it was better for Ye Zhiqing and Liu Song to be together to make him comfortable. Compared with Zhou Hong, the major general of the southeast, Liu Song is more in line with him as a brother-in-law.

He raised his glass and touched Liu Song lightly: "Then I wish the eldest brother success!" ”

In the severe cold of winter, the Cao River gradually froze and froze further north, and the water transportation was completely stopped. The men who have been floating in the Cao River for more than half a year to make a living gather in one place, or drink with each other, gamble a few handfuls to try their luck, or go together to find their sisters and children in the private cave to have fun.

Wei Miao wanted to go to play in the private house, but was dragged by Ah Kun and Ah Gen and did not let go, Liu Song gave a death order, if he couldn't look at this lively boy, he didn't want to follow him to Beijing to run a boat at the beginning of the year.

Although Ah Kun and Ah Gen are Wei Miao's diehards, but now even Wei Miao has to listen to Liu Song, their family's livelihood is tied to Liu Song, and Wei Miao is messing around before she gets married, who dares to marry his daughter to him in the people who know the details on the Caohe. raised both hands in favor of Liu Song's decision, and the implementation was also very strict.

Wei Miao couldn't, and begged Liu Song again and again: "Brother! Eldest brother! Dear brother! I eat a lot of rice on the Cao River, you let me read and write with a gentleman all day long, and I don't want to be admitted to the sergeant and become an officer, why do you have to work so hard? Why don't you go to Ye Mansion for you, and see what my sister has been doing lately? Okay?! ”

Liu Song was so abrasive by him that he had no choice but to let him go to Yefu, and he was afraid that Ah Kun and Ah Gen would not be able to keep up, so he let him run around halfway, so he sent Qin Bao to follow.

Qin Bao is Liu Song's die-hard loyalist, followed Liu Song to bring his family to Yangzhou to beg for a living, Qin Pozi didn't do anything to live, and started to be an old lady at home, and now seeing Liu Song is more cordial than seeing his own son. For Liu Song's words, he didn't discount at all.

Wei Miao didn't have anything to do with him, so he coaxed him: "Qin Bao, don't you want to go back and see what your old lady ate at noon?" ”

Qin Bao said honestly: "Brother Miao, don't coax me, you just had a fight with Gang Leader Luo a few days ago, Brother Song deliberately ran to apologize, and Gang Leader Luo didn't care about it." Don't cause trouble for Brother Song anymore! ”

"I actually don't want to, but the person next to Gang Master Luo is too much, he looks down on Brother Song, I don't beat anyone"

Several deputy gang leaders of the Jiangsu Cao Gang came to Yangzhou to obey Yu Luoyan's orders, but they also said the same thing when they returned to their respective territories. Liu Song is alone in Yangzhou, which sounds as big as the power of the deputy gang leader next to him, but Luo Yan has been stationed in Yangzhou for a long time, and he often asks for one or two instructions for all things in the gang, and he often asks for one or two. Liu Song listened to the name well, but it was one level worse than the other two deputy gang leaders.

It's no wonder that the people around Luo Yan and the people around the two deputy gang leaders all look down on Liu Song a little, especially the close attendants around Luo Yan, who still treat Liu Song as an errand.

Wei Miao's temperament was a little confused, and he couldn't see Liu Song smiling at the people around Luo Yan, but the other party was not polite to Liu Song. A few days after the winter solstice, I listened to a few rumors and beat people.

Liu Song ran to Luo Yan to apologize, and personally apologized to the person who was beaten, pleaded for mercy and gave silver, and finally settled the matter, and when he came back, Wei Miao was locked up, and invited an old gentleman to teach him to read, read and understand, what to go out to gamble, and don't think about it for the time being. Wei Miao has lacked discipline since he was a child, he was first rescued by Liu Song, and now he is surrounded by him to discipline, although he has been miserable, but he has also straightened out the backbone of his body a lot, and taught him to taste some of the taste of "eldest brother is like father".

The old gentleman invited by Liu Song was very verbose, and he didn't have to use a ring ruler on the back of the book, and no matter how tall he was, his white beard was curled. Wei Miao also tried to resist, and was personally cleaned up by Liu Song twice to know how to write the words "respect for teachers and respect the way".

He doesn't understand, Liu Song will also use a stick to make him understand.

Wei Miao took Qin Bao into the Ye Mansion, and Xiao Tao led him to the backyard flower room: "Today's weather is a little cold, the girl has a little cough in the morning, and the adults let the girl stay at home to raise it, so the girl didn't go to the Rejuvenation Hall and took care of the medicinal herbs in the backyard flower room." ”

Ye Zhiqing has almost renovated the flower garden at home into a medicine field, but it is not enjoyable, and in the first two months, she was busy and built a flower house in the backyard. The last time she followed Guo Jia to the sea, she brought back a box of glass from overseas, although it was not big enough, and it was not as transparent as that of later generations, but it was more than enough to set it on the roof of the flower house.

The glass of this era is still called colored glass, and there are very few in Dawei, and the process is not mature, so it can only fire small variegated beads. Zhou Hong saw her such a loser's behavior, and laughed at her: "You sold a dozen pieces of colored glass, I don't know if you can buy hundreds of carts of rare medicinal materials back, you might as well use them all to set the roof." "I went back and sent two nurses to the Ye family, plus Song Kui and the three of them were on duty at night, and they also asked people to go to the flower and bird market to buy a big dog and come back, and tie it next to the flower house, just to see these glass roofs.

Mingzhou Mansion is a marine terminal, although there have been many years of rampant Japanese robbers, but it has not broken the maritime merchants want to risk shipping to make a fortune. The Zhou family guards Mingzhou, and it is not without gifts in previous years, and there are also maritime merchants who send them to Zhou Hong in order to thank Zhou Hongdang for leveling Haikou. He remembered that before leaving Mingzhou, he also received a box of colored glass from the maritime merchants, which was larger than the area Ye Zhiqing had on hand.

He saw that Ye Zhiqing liked it, so he sent Liang Jin to take people back to Mingzhou to open the warehouse to get the glass, and repeatedly told before leaving: "This is a New Year's gift for Ye Zi, I see that she likes it very much, if you can't come back on Chinese New Year's Eve, ask for sex to come back, follow your father and shuai!" ”

Liang Jin took advantage of the clipper to leave Yangzhou, and when he was leaving, he put his arm around Zhou Hao's shoulder and begged repeatedly: "Brother, if your brother is late, you have to say a few kind words for me in front of the big me!" I always feel ...... Since the old lady came, how could the adults take root in the Ye Mansion! ”

Zhou Hao glared at him: "The private affairs of adults are also something you and I can discuss?" Don't get out of here! ”

Before the things arrived, Ye Zhiqing didn't know that Liang Jin was sent by Zhou Hong on a personal business trip, but Lord Zhou, who vigorously criticized her for being a loser, was secretly preparing to let her continue to lose.

Ye Zhiqing saw Wei Miao again after a while, and felt that his oily color was much less, and she felt strange: "What is Ah Miao doing when she is idle recently?" Why do I look so different from before? ”

Qin Bao followed him every step of the way, and after coming in, he greeted Ye Zhiqing, and secretly looked at her a few times, but saw that she was wearing a homely jacket, and there was a brazier in the flower room, preventing Tiantai from freezing to death. A black hair is tied with a white hosta, and he is holding a shovel in his sleeves to cultivate soil for Chinese medicinal materials in the flower house. And the oval-shaped long leaves of the green plant under her hand are born on the stem, and the top is budding, and it looks like it is about to bloom in the near future.

She looks a lot taller than when she saw her in the capital before, and she is even more beautiful than in the past, and she has some indescribable charm.

Qin Baoxin said: No wonder Brother Song is obsessed with her, if her appearance in the capital is like a budding flower bone, and the beauty of the future blooming day is predictable, then
