Chu Luoyi's gaze fell on an open-air shop not far away, and the plaque on the store was a little tilted, with a big word 'porridge' written on it.

It seems to be a porridge shop, and when I walked a few steps closer, I saw that the so-called porridge shop was only a simple shed, resisting the wind and snow outside, and two pots of black charcoal were burning, as if I wanted to increase the temperature, but I was often blown dying by the snow star.

The boss was wearing a thick jacket and an apron and stirring something in two large iron pots, and the proprietress brought out a stack of small dumplings from the inner room, which were full of steaming steamed buns.

Chu Luoyi stood in place, looking at this scene, for some reason, he suddenly felt that it was so peaceful and pure, maybe they were careful every day in order to earn a few more copper plates, because they could buy two more feet of cloth and were complacent, maybe they were also worried about the trivial things of life, but in the end, it was still the wife and children who were hot on the kang, working day after day, but the simplicity of their lives.

Bei Liuyun rubbed his slightly reddened nose, pulled Chu Luoyi and sat in directly: "Boss, come two bowls of porridge and six meat buns!" ”

"Okay, I'll bring it to you!" The owner of the shop shouted enthusiastically, and the big spoon in his hand skillfully scooped out two bowls of steaming white porridge in the iron pot, without spilling a drop.

"Mother-in-law, come and get six meat buns!" The boss put the porridge in front of the two, and then wiped his hands with his apron, his eyes fell on the two, but he couldn't help but lose his mind.

"Hey, I haven't seen such a handsome little couple of you, mother-in-law, come and take a look, this girl is more beautiful than the Miss Ye family you saw last time, and this little brother... It's the same as that.. Like that flower demon.. What a pleasing couple," the boss looked at the two of them in amazement, and did not forget to turn around and shout.

The slightly chubby mother-in-law walked out with a bun: "You old man, can you speak, what do you mean by being like a flower demon.."

Then he turned his head and said to Chu Luoyi and Beiliuyun with a smile: "My old man is a real person, he can't speak, and what he says is not good, don't take it to heart." ”

The boss muttered, "Did I say something wrong? It's like a flower demon."

Chu Luoyi chuckled, but the boss was pushed and taken away by the proprietress: "You bad old man, you talk nonsense all day long, last time it wasn't because you talked nonsense, can our two dogs be beaten like that..."

"I'm talking nonsense, I'm right, our two dogs are better than those dumb kids..."The boss retorted stubbornly.

I can vaguely hear the quarrel between the two, but in this somewhat cold morning, it makes people feel warm.

A light smile flashed in Chu Luoyi's eyes, perhaps, no matter what kind of place you live, what kind of troubles you will have, you will naturally suffer more than ordinary people, as a powerful person, the deception you face is naturally not comparable to that of small families.

Sometimes, she would feel that the world was unfair, the Buddha said that cause and effect cycle, but in the end, what she saw was that the innocent died in vain, the slaughterer reigned, the good bent their knees, and the evil raised their heads.

But sometimes, she will feel that fate is fair, and the pain she gives you must be what you can bear, and the pain you can bear determines what you can have.

Beiliuyun looked at the shallow smile on the woman's lips, and unconsciously hooked the corners of his lips.

The two lowered their heads and began to eat, simple white porridge and meat buns, but in this cold winter day it is particularly delicious, white porridge entrance, a stream of heat poured into the abdomen, warming people's hearts.

The boss came up again with two side dishes and said, "Seeing that you didn't order side dishes, I thought that you must not come to this kind of place often, so I added two side dishes to you, and it was refreshing." ”

Some of the dusty bowls were not luxurious at all, and the side dishes were sprinkled with fried red peppers, but they were far warmer than the luxury of the palace.

"Thank you." Beiliuyun hooked his lips and smiled, and the boss who watched it was stunned again, and turned his head to get busy.

"Luo Luo, in the future, we will open a small shop like them, and sell some breakfast, okay?" Beiliuyun said softly.

Chu Luoyi was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Do you think that today's life is not hard enough?" In such a cold weather, it is better to stay under the covers for a few more hours. ”

Beiliuyun squeezed the bowl from opposite Chu Luoyi to the same bench as her, and said with a look of approval: "It's good in the quilt, you can do a lot of things in a few hours." ”

Chu Luoyi glared at him angrily, and when he looked up, he saw that the guest was holding a bowl and burying his head in the porridge, and his whole head was eager to reach into the bowl, and immediately knocked a chopstick on his head and said, "Eat quickly." ”

Beiliuyun smiled, his glass-colored eyes were full of warmth, and he said lightly: "Luo Luo, when will we go to your hometown." ”

Chu Luoyi was slightly distracted and silent, not knowing what he remembered.

When you asked me when I would return home, I also asked myself softly? But eventually...

After eating, it was already dark, and the shops that had been lighting some lanterns had already extinguished the candles, leaving a silver ingot, and the two quietly left.

The number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and the snow on the ground was soon covered with wheels and footprints, with a calming hustle and bustle.

Many of the vendors spread a straw mat on the ground with a piece of satin, which had lost its lustre, and then placed all the things they were selling on it.

The two of them stopped and walked all the way, and occasionally there were some novel gadgets, which attracted the attention of the two, so that Chu Luoyi couldn't help but play, and said goodbye to the vendor who was enthusiastically introduced, leaving a few pieces of broken silver, and then continued to walk forward.

Beiliuyun just followed the woman quietly, the woman squatted on the ground, the white fox fur and the snow on the ground melted into one, and the woman communicated softly to the vendor.

Chu Luoyi looked at a white hosta in his hand, the jade quality was very ordinary, with a little impurities in it, but it was already excellent here in this small trader, and the top of the hosta was a white rabbit with poor carving, because the technique was really poor, and the outline of a white rabbit could only be vaguely seen.

Two round eyes, but it looks very cute.

Chu Luoyi put the broken silver in the merchant's hand, got up and looked at the man who was standing beside him and lost his mind: "Send you." ”

Beiliuyun came back to his senses slightly, looked at the simple white hosta in the woman's hand, but lost his mind again, and then looked up at the woman in front of him in a little stunned.

The hosta lay quietly on the woman's fingertips, but the slender and white fingers were more bewildering than the hosta.

Chu Luoyi didn't urge, just waited quietly, and the white rabbit on the hosta was between the two, and seemed to be quietly looking.

Beiliuyun slowly raised his hand, took the hosta in his hand, and still looked at the woman in front of him in a daze.

When Chu Luoyi saw him take it, he turned around and continued to look at the vendors along the street, walking forward slowly.

It wasn't until the woman walked far away that Beiliuyun came back to her senses, clenched the hairpin in her hand, put it on her chest, hooked her red lips, and chased after her quickly.

The halo of morning light shrouded the two of them, but it was fixed in the man's smile.

It didn't take long to walk and came to Jiang Taishi's residence.

Different from the high-rise compound of the eunuch's house next to it, Jiang Taishi's house is in the depths of a Hu cave, surrounded by a fence outside the door, and there are a few unknown trees inside, even in winter, they are still verdant, the huge leaves are bent by the thick snow, and on the low edge of the house, a chimney rises a burst of cooking smoke.

"Who are you looking for?" The boy who was sweeping the snow in front of the door looked at the two people who suddenly appeared, raised his head and asked.

"We're here to meet Master Jiang." Beiliuyun said.

"Who are you?" The little boy looked Beiliuyun up and down, dressed in an ice-blue dress, it was a fine silk, the snow-white piping embroidered with an elegant bamboo leaf pattern and the white jade belt around his waist complemented each other, and a pair of stone-blue royal blue dragon boots with a pattern of going to sea, indescribably noble.

"Beiliuyun."

Xiao Tong muttered in a low voice: "Isn't Beiliuyun that Wang Zhi's lackey?"

"Then you wait first, I'll report to Master Jiang."

And at this moment, in this low and simple thatched hut, a large amount of incense is burning, white smoke is like mist, the fragrance is thin, silent, and in the potted plants of the landscape on the side, there are two red scales surging, only the sound of trickling water remains.

A low table, with a delicate chessboard, on which the jasper and white chess pieces are intertwined, and the white chess piece holder has old skin and many spots on it, like dead tree bark.

The person who holds the blue child, his skin is moist, and a golden wrench inlaid with white jade is even more luxurious between his fingers.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you lost." The old man spoke slowly.

Beiliuye threw the chess pieces in his hand back to the chess basket, looked at the old man opposite and said, "Jiang Taishi's chess skills are really unparalleled in the world, and this palace sighs to himself." ”

While the two were talking, the little boy outside the door walked in and said, "Uncle, Beiliuyun asks to see you." ”

A fine light flashed in Beiliuye's eyes, but he didn't expect that he, the ninth brother, was also uneasy in the room.

"Since Master Jiang has a guest visiting, the palace will not bother." Beiliuye got up and retired.

Jiang Taishi didn't get up, Xiao Tong led Beiliuye out, Beiliuye was a little unwilling in his heart, Jiang Taishi once said that if one day his chess skills could beat him, he would be willing to give him three strategies.

When Beiliuye walked out, he stopped in front of the fence door, and saw Beiliuyun, who was dressed in sea blue, and said: "The ninth brother is really diligent, and the sky has not yet dawned, so I came to meet Master Jiang." ”

Beiliuyun said with a smile: "Naturally, it is not as good as the eldest brother, I have long heard that the eldest brother has visited the thatched house three times, and I don't want to meet again by such a coincidence, but looking at the look of the eldest brother, it seems that I still haven't been able to invite Taishi Jiang out of the mountain." ”

Listening to the undisguised ridicule in Beiliuyun's tone, Beiliuye's face remained unchanged, but a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Taishi Jiang has been in seclusion for many years, how can he easily go out of the mountain?" Looking at the appearance of the ninth brother now, he is confident, but as a brother, this palace has to advise you, don't ask for hardship, even if you find Wang Zhi, I'm afraid that Taishi Jiang will not sell him this thin noodles. ”

On the one hand, Beiliuye warned Beiliuyun not to be complacent too early, and on the other hand, he sarcastically mocked Beiliuyun was just Wang Zhi's lackey, even if the owner of the dog came, it would not be successful, let alone a dog.

Beiliuyun hooked his thin lips: "If Taishi Jiang is willing to work for me, I hope that the eldest brother will not be sad." ”

"I want to see what you are capable of, and you can please move the people who can move this palace!" Beiliuye said coldly.
