Ten shops, seven ruans and three seats, planting apricot blossoms in front of the swallow hall.

There are many wealthy households in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, especially the Ruan family in the lane. The Xi family, which is separated by a river, has been planning for three generations, and they have barely divided three points of the world.

If you talk about wealth and glory, there is no one who can compare to the Ruan family.

The ancestor of the Ruan family, although he was born recklessly, was a very far-sighted person. followed the equally inconspicuous emperor back then, and earned a place in this troubled world.

However, the year when the first emperor ascended to the great treasure and made it public to the world. The ancestors of the Ruan clan retreated bravely, and took the lead in kneeling in the Jinguang Palace, asking for resignation and returning to the field to retire for the rest of their lives.

The first emperor was overjoyed and gave Ruan's a Danshu iron coupon. Promise the Nguyen clan to serve as the royal salt envoy for generations.

The decision of the ancestors of the Ruan family not only saved one of their own lives, but also realized the prosperity and revival of the Ruan family.

Not to mention the Ruan family, what kind of food and clothing they have. Speaking of the sixteenth generation alone, the year of Miss Ruan's marriage.

The flowing water banquet lasted for thirty-three days, and the dowry boxes thickly clothed with red flowers blocked the gate of Jiangdu for a whole day.

This matter is known to everyone in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Every time it is mentioned, it makes Wu Yue's people envious.

However, that was seven years ago. Now, mentioning the Ruan family, which is rich and noble all over the world, will only make people shake their heads and sigh.

Without it, the tree will be devastating.

In the past five years of natural and man-made disasters, the Ruan family quickly fell. Many shops from other places have been closed one after another. Only the birthplace of the Ruan family in Jiangdu City still retains the three-point strength of the past.

However, unexpectedly. The Xi family, which is across the river, did not get the biggest concession. On the contrary, let a foreign family swallow up most of the power at once, and occupy half of the world in the business community of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

I knocked on the sandalwood table irregularly, setting aside the information from the crow.

The jade plaque in the palm of his hand was still shining, and the air was filled with a dry smell.

Ruan Huiniang, no wonder she is a little familiar. Five years ago, on Luoxia Mountain, I just met her by chance.

It's just that......

At that time, she was full of shyness and happiness. It's not like now, and his face is dead and lifeless.

Time, as expected, is the best polishing. Good and evil cannot escape the unpredictability of people's hearts.

I picked up the Ice Crack Cup, and a touch of spring emerald floated in the cup.

When the tea enters the teeth, the bitterness is mixed with sweetness, and the sweetness lingers after the bitterness.

Su Niang held her cheeks and played with the beads in her hands for no reason. Xiao Hei is honest, and he always refuses to be idle when he sits on the velvet cushion.

Only Zhaorui didn't know where he went today.

When I think of last night, it made a new yellow friend. A bloody pheasant was placed at the gate of the fragrant bone shop.

Ticking chicken blood, condensed into ice in the cold winter wind. Early in the morning, the blood was shoveled all over the ground, and the fishy smell could not be dissipated for a long time.

I've got a black face, and I'm really going to have to talk to him about it.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of panting footsteps outside the door. Zhaorui stepped on the three-foot-high snow and ran to the lion in front of the store in one go.

"Lord, Lord, Master, I, I, I, I have just heard, heard, heard good news,"

Zhaorui sat on the threshold with his buttocks, and the heat on his head turned into a cloud.

Its eyebrows were covered with snow, the top of its hat was white, and its shoulders were frosty.

It grinned suddenly, its eyes suddenly disappeared, and the whole person was like the old man with a childish face.

"Mrs. Lin...... I'm pregnant......"

It opened its round eyes and looked at us expectantly.

Su Niang continued to turn the pearl hairpin, and Xiao Hei continued to peel the almond grains in the basin.

I lifted my eyelids and asked him lazily.

"Is it yours?"

Zhaorui shook his head.

"Is it Niango's?"

Xiao Hei's hand shook suddenly, and he immediately shook his head at everyone.

"Is it mine?"

Zhaorui's face was shocked, and his head shook like a soybean in a good field.

I smashed one, and the fan of the wild duck playing in the cold pond passed.

"Then what are you happy about?"

Zhaorui patted the small braincase, and he couldn't react for a while. It chimed in, "yes, what's my business,"

"Oops, no, no,"

Zhaorui suddenly scratched his ears and cheeks, and he hurriedly added, "It's good news, it's good news." I heard Huang Sange under the big tree say that Mrs. Lin set up a free flowing water mat for ten days. He also invited people to sing the drama in the largest open space in the city for ten days in a row! ”

Me: "......"

"Who's going?" I turned around and asked the two opposite.

Su Niang put down the bead hairpin and came back to her senses for a while. She turned her face sideways and asked in exclamation, "Where to go?"

Xiao Hei in the corner silently added: "Go to Lincheng to watch a play,"

"Oh, then you guys, I'll stay and watch over the shop,"

Su Niang waved her hand and said with a wistful expression.

Xiao Hei lowered his head, quickly peeled several almonds, and threw them into the porcelain bowl beside him.

He said coldly: "These are all for you, and they are kept for the audience to eat when they are bored,"

I casually took off the brocade bag around my waist, took out a few pieces of silver ingots, and threw them into Zhaorui's arms: "Take some and buy some gadgets on the way,"

Zhaorui jumped to his feet, his eyes were red: "You guys...... You have no conscience. I treat you as brothers, and I think of you for all good things! ”

I walked forward quickly and touched its head: "Good, don't cry, play well, if you have a treat, you can do it," and with that, I took another bag of broken silver and handed it over.

Seeing this, Xiao Hei silently untied the black money bag.

Su Niang was stunned for a moment, and then handed over a string of pearls from the kindness.

Zhaorui threw the silver and took out a handful of pumpkin-sized night pearls. It gritted its teeth and said hatefully, "I have, I don't need your alms, you ...... You guys are going too far! ”

The money bag was stuck in the air, and the hand holding the pearl did not move.

I quietly retrieved the bag and took a pumpkin pearl from its hand.

"This is good, the light in front of my bed is just broken,"

Su Niang hesitated, but still moved the lotus step and took back a night pearl.

Xiao Hei stopped what he was doing, poured a bowl of pointed almond fruit into kraft paper, and carefully packed and tied it. He gave it to Zhaorui with big steps, and took a huge night pearl by the way.

Zhaorui looked stupidly, his mouth opened several times and closed again.

After a long time, he said, "I have it in my room, if you like it." I'll take them all out, and you'll pick a few of them."

"Hey, what a goofy mouse,"

I sighed: "What should I do, the hands of the people are short, close the door early today, and Nianwu will prepare some snacks and drinks,"

Ding zero zero, ding zero zero, there is no wind in the room, and the bell rings spontaneously.

"Wronged ghost, haha, everyone is here today,"

Zhaorui laughed and ran over.

The ghost opened his eyes and let out a long yawn. It tilted its head, puzzled, "What's the matter, what do you think of me like this?"

Zhaorui stuffed the pumpkin-sized night pearl into the arms of the unjust ghost. couldn't help but say: "The Night Pearl is yours, take it quickly, go, go to the play with us,"

"What the hell am I ...... How long have you been asleep and how...... How to watch a play now. They all have to hold such a big night pearl to let people in. ”

The ghost looked dazed and looked at everyone in disbelief.

It patted its chest and said very happily: "Fortunately, I have died a long time ago, and now, I can save myself a ticket again."

After that, it returned the Night Pearl to Zhaorui. Showing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, he patted Zhaorui's shoulder and said, "I don't need this, I'll just hide it in your hat,"

Zhaorui stuffed it back again: "This is ...... Give you a new lamp,"

I twitched the corner of my mouth and turned away silently.

Outside the window, the north wind was blowing, and another sycamore branch was buried in the snow.

Suddenly remembered that in the hall of the Lin Mansion that day. Behind the silver screen, she said in an unusually resolute voice, "Ghost? What about the ghosts. What else in this world could be more terrible than the human heart? ”

"My rules, Madame should know."

I lowered my eyes, and my face was calm: "If you say anything else, I won't say more." Just one sentence, if you regret it, it's still too late. ”

I leaned sideways and looked at the screen. In the six-foot-high silver screen, a leisurely and comfortable story is narrated.

"No, let's get started,"

She breathed a sigh of relief, her voice soft.

It's like a decision, just a dream of dressing up.
