Chapter Seventy-Five: Mind

The snow fell on the ground one floor, and Song Sanniang and Liu Meibao stood under the eaves and watched Zhou Liangyu light the firecrackers with incense.

The firecrackers were far less elaborate than they are in modern times, and they dispersed with a muffled popping sound.

Liu Meibao looked up at the night sky that was still dark, and she didn't know whose fireworks lit up the night sky from time to time, and the snowflakes falling from the crystal were also very beautiful.

"Good luck." Song Sanniang muttered.

After Zhou Liangyu lit the firecrackers, he turned around and knelt down and kowtowed to Song Sanniang.

"Mother, my son has given you a New Year's greeting." He said with a grin.

Looking at the snowflakes on his forehead, Song Sanniang hurriedly reached out and pulled him up, while stuffing a red envelope into him.

Liu Meibao hesitated on the side, does she also want to kowtow? Speaking of which, this kind of thing is really not used to it.

When she hesitated, Song Sanniang had already turned to her and stuffed a red envelope over.

Liu Meibao thanked him and said another auspicious word, and the matter of kowtowing was mixed up.

"Go back to sleep for a while, it's still early." Song Sanniang said, prepared incense wax herself, and began to light it in the place where the gods were worshipped.

The snowy night was extremely cold, and when she got up in the middle of the night, Liu Meibao was already so cold that her teeth collided, and she was no longer polite when she heard the words, and hurriedly turned back to her room.

I took off my clothes again, got into the quilt that still had residual warmth, and breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, but unfortunately there were more and more firecrackers outside, but it was difficult to fall asleep.

She simply took the red envelope given by Song Sanniang and opened it, and saw that it only contained six coins, which was estimated to be auspicious for six or six Shun, and jumped down in her underwear to pull the book on the table to read, and accidentally pulled the tent. A wad of paper fell from above.

Seeing this pile of paper, Liu Meibao's face couldn't help but turn red, and after thinking about it for a moment, she reached out and picked it up, but she didn't put it back on the top of the tent and hide it, but lay on the bed and slowly opened it to see.

These are all letters sent by Na Lu Yan, except for the first one that was burned by him, the rest of these letters are still kept, and she is at home every day. Hiding in the house is not afraid of being seen.

"The more I write, the better." She thought to herself, a hint of an unconscious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "But some sentences still don't make sense."

Thinking about it, she smiled again and shook her head, she was not a teacher grading students' essays. How do you think about this?

But what should I think about if I don't think about that?

She looked a little uncomfortable, and turned the letter in her hand upside down. In all fairness, these letters written by the ancients Lu Yan are not love letters, and for Shen Liumei, who comes from a modern open society, how can a letter without a single love word be considered a love letter. But in ancient times, taking the initiative to write a letter to a girl who was not related to her family was already extremely absurd.

A man who is not related to you will write to you in three or four days. Talk about your own life, your own happiness and unhappiness, what else can you do except express love? Do you have pen pals and recognize your relatives? What's more, he had already mentioned kissing before this.

This is the path of the parents' order matchmaker's words has been blocked, so are you going to engage in free love?

This kid really has a way, Liu Meibao smiled again, fortunately he is no longer Liu Meibao himself, otherwise, the proud and sensitive young lady who dared to hang herself because others took a second look, I don't know how many times she has died at this time.

"Didn't you say that you were rich? Eat a meal of roasted pig's head. Are you so happy? Liu Meibao opened another piece of letter paper, and while reading it, she smiled to herself and said. Also ask me if I'm happy? If I eat the pig's head every day, I'll be happy...."

The light in the room grew brighter. There are also more people walking outside, and Song Sanniang has already opened the door so that the neighbors can pay New Year's greetings.

Hearing that the yard ushered in the first batch of New Year's greetings, Liu Meibao couldn't lie down anymore, got dressed and got up, hesitated for a moment, or folded these letters and put them on the top of the tent again.

Breakfast had already been prepared, and Song Sanniang had eaten it early because she wanted to worship God and welcome guests, and the rest was covered in the pot for them.

Liu Meibao took a simple bite, the snow had stopped, but there was a layer of snow, so he picked up a broom and cleaned it, swept it out of the door, and swept a way out of the alley in front of his door.

While scanning and carefully looking around, sure enough, I found a piece of paper exposed under the big stone at the mouth of the water next to the door.

It's really getting bolder and bolder, do you see that you will take it away in time every time, and put this kind of letter at a fixed point?

If they don't take it themselves, won't they take it either? Liu Meibao muttered in her heart, in the end, she didn't have the courage to try, in case of a business trip, she would be unlucky in the end.

She bent down to put the letter into her sleeve by shaking the broom, and before she could straighten up, Zhou Liangyu had already run out of the door.

"I'll sweep it." He said, snatching the broom from Liu Meibao's hand, "It's cold, go in quickly." ”

Liu Meibao said thank you, brother, and did not go in, but watched him sweep with his sleeves, and while the two were talking, the sky gradually brightened, and there were more people walking around the alley, seeing that Zhou Liangyu had swept the entire alley, they praised him for his diligence.

When the sixth aunt also came over with a smile, Liu Meibao turned around and entered the house, these mutual New Year's greetings did not need her to come forward, so she went straight into the house, listened to Song Sanniang and people outside to say hello to each other and said auspicious words, knowing that she would not suddenly enter her house, closed the door and took out the letter from her sleeve.

The content of the letter, as always, talked about Lu Yan's recent life.

"It's a boss who buys people's hearts." She saw the centralized distribution of New Year's goods to Yanding and others, nodded and said in her heart.

At a time when the Tartar plague and bandits are rampant and famine, this seemingly simple New Year's gift is enough to make people willing to pay for their lives, no wonder this young man can become a local tyrant in such a short period of time, it should be not just because he is as vicious and scary as the king of Hades.

At least judging from his letters, Liu Meibao didn't feel that he was fierce at all, but a simple, simple and even a little stupid young man jumped on the page.

This thought popped up, Liu Meibao was startled, and hurriedly shook her head, how could she think like this, this is chatting with the modern Internet, the words typed out through the keyboard, what you think the other party's temperament looks like, in fact, is just your own imagination. It has nothing to do with the real person at all.

Her eyes fell on the last line of the usual self-questioning phrase, and she bit her lower lip, but finally shook her head, folded the letter, and stood on the bed with the ones on top of the tent.

After the snow fell on the night of the thirtieth, it was open, but Liu Meibao was not allowed to go to the street to walk around this ancient year, because the sixth day of the new year was about to move away, and Song Sanniang was afraid that there would be another accident, so she simply locked her up at home.

Liu Meibao's speculation about robbing relatives has faded a lot. A person who writes every few days and has the patience to take a roundabout route would not have done such a short-sighted thing.

But perhaps, Liu Meibao felt that this idea was constructed by herself, and she felt that she had been affected by these letters, and felt that she must not read the letter if she received it again. She was very annoyed by this, and she was in no mood to go out for a walk, and her family was worth a lot. It's enough for her to clean up for a few days.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, a donkey cart once again left the narrow alley with a full load of belongings.

The neighbors in the alley all knew about it, and although they didn't have much contact with each other on a daily basis, they still came out to send each other.

Among them, the sixth aunt's expression is the most complicated. squeezed to the front, looking at Liu Meibao and stopping to speak. Liu Meibao naturally avoided her.

Lu Lao Si was going to Fucheng to go to relatives, just to be a companion with them all the way, and soon he also drove a car to pull a large family over, after the convergence, Song Sanniang said goodbye to the neighborhood, and the two cars staggered on the road.

Walking on the road, there is a New Year's celebration everywhere, but it is still dotted with begging homeless people, which always looks a little depressed.

Walking relatives during the Chinese New Year, there are many pedestrians on the road. Most of them had new clothes, and the women in the donkey carts or wheelbarrows wore a few pieces of jewelry on their hands.

Although everyone has a hard time. But after all, the Chinese New Year is a festive event, and everyone has a smile on their faces. Lu Laosi's car was full of families, children wrapped in thick cloaks, a pair of eyes from under the thick hats to see around enough, older children laughing, adults scolding, the road is very lively.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and those who could ride horses in these years were not ordinary people, and the two families were busy urging the car to give way, and when they saw clearly, the five people who came were wearing dark red jackets and knives hanging from their waists, which was the most obvious dress of the official guards, and the faces were full of fear, and even the children were silent and did not dare to speak.

Fortunately, those people just patted their horses and did not stop to check and harass, but a few of them stared at them twice, and the women and women in the car hung their heads a little embarrassed.

They swept past like a gust of wind.

"These people will not rest during the New Year." Someone in the car complained in a low voice, and it was always a little scary to see officers and soldiers.

"It's not that the Tartars over there in Datong are here again, and the officers and soldiers can't take care of it." Someone well-informed said.

This made the women and children even more frightened, urging them to hurry away.

"That's not an official errand." The well-informed Lu Laosi shouted in a low voice, "That's Yanding." ”

Although they all wore the same clothes, for the people near the Great Salt Lake, the officers and soldiers could still be clearly distinguished from the salt dings, especially the salt dings led by King Lu Yan now.

Although King Lu Yan had a terrifying reputation, he still did not interfere with river water for people who had nothing to do with salt, and everyone was relieved when they heard this.

"It's better this way, with this garment, at least those thieves don't dare to come out all the way." Immediately someone said happily.

This drew laughter from the others.

"People don't know where to get rich, the horse is fast, can we keep up?"

Everyone laughed, and the tension was swept away.

Compared with their family, Song Sanniang's family, who were a few steps ahead, looked very nervous.

The word salt ding drifted into Song Sanniang's ears, making her suddenly tense her back, and subconsciously looked at Liu Meibao.

Liu Meibao also stared at her with wide eyes, and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the nervousness in each other's eyes.

Probably not.....

Liu Meibao suddenly turned around and touched in the middle of the house, pulled out a kitchen knife, and shook it at Song Sanniang with a happy face.

Song Sanniang's face darkened a little, but she didn't speak.

"Sister, what are you doing with that? Carefully cut his hands. Zhou Liangyu looked back and said hurriedly.

Zhou Liangyu only knew that someone proposed to Liu Meibao, but Song Sanniang didn't tell him who it was, so he didn't know how nervous the two of them were about the word Yanding.

Liu Meibao sighed, and said that if it fell out, I will put it back and mix it up, Zhou Liangyu didn't ask anymore, Liu Meibao quietly put the kitchen knife behind her back, and held it tightly with her hand.

The journey walked slowly in anxiety, and there was no accident, just when Liu Meibao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw someone swaying in front of him, it was the five salt dices just now.

They no longer urged their horses to gallop as they had just done, but rode their horses leisurely, laughing loudly as they went.

Everyone suddenly became nervous again, but when they saw that these people were just walking like this, keeping a certain distance from them, and walking slowly for a while, everyone was relieved.

"These people don't seem to be busy, and they are so slow that we are stained." One of the Lu family said happily.

"Yes, yes, with these salts, thieves don't have to worry." The women also rejoiced.

Although the Salt Inspector is in charge of salt, in their eyes, it is still very deterrent, and no matter how bold the thief is, he will not dare to do evil in front of them.

Everyone rejoiced and felt that it was good luck to visit relatives this time.

Different from their joy, Song Sanniang and Liu Meibao's nerves have been tense, staring at Yan Ding who was walking slowly not far away.

The salters kept walking like this until they saw the gate of Hezhongfu, and suddenly turned their horses' heads and galloped towards them.

Song Sanniang and Liu Meibao almost exclaimed in surprise, but they saw these people passing by and quickly moved away.

The two of them were stunned until they entered the city gate, and when they looked back, they saw that the salt was really gone.

It really looks like a special escort......

Song Sanniang glanced at Liu Meibao meaninglessly, Liu Meibao naturally thought of this, and somehow suddenly felt a little embarrassed and lowered her gaze.

Fortunately, Song Sanniang didn't say anything, broke up with the Lu family, thanked him, and went straight to the rented yard.
