Silver snow fell from the sky, and the ground was white.

Yi Linglong didn't expect that after the middle of winter, the warm sun appeared, and it was snowing in the daytime.

She looked at the snow on the street, muttered to herself, and comforted herself: "Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others!" Frost and snow don't get in the way, the road to heaven is open for me! ”

According to her daily knowledge, there are only those gifts offered in the temple, and she buys a few at will, which are nothing more than incense, candles, melons and fruits. Add fish. I bought them one by one, and went to buy the spicy seeds eaten by Aunt Nazha, and when I bought the spicy seeds, I had to go back to the Zhuangfu. Because there were too many things in his hand and it was inconvenient to walk, he sat down at a wonton noodle stall on the street and ordered a bowl of hot wontons. After a while, the boss brought it to him, and Yi Linglong didn't eat it, took out the silver, and said to the boss, "Call me a car again." Don't look for the rest. ”

The boss was so happy that he looked at her carefully for a while.

Yi Linglong said: "Look at what I'm doing, go!" My aunt and grandmother carry a lot of things, and they are cold! ”

The boss smiled and said, "Girl, then you eat first, and I'll call you!" Oh, girl, where are you? ”

Yi Linglong picked up a pair of chopsticks, slapped them on the table, and said, "Grandma, I go to heaven, maybe the car still has to pick a fairy?" ”

The boss put away his smiling face and nodded and went away. Seeing that the boss had gone, Yi Linglong picked up the wonton and wanted to eat a mouthful of hot soup, when she saw an unkempt female beggar sitting under the eaves of a tailor's shop in a cloth village across the road, she hugged a child, frowned helplessly at the pedestrians, and kept looking at the snow in the sky. The shopkeeper sent the guests out and saw the two female beggars, and they blew them away.

The female beggar was probably pleading, but the shopkeeper only raised his hand, meaning to leave.

When Yi Linglong saw this scene, she couldn't sit still, picked up the wonton bowl, and then said to the proprietress on the stove: "Boss, please help me look at this pile of things." ”

As he spoke, he crossed the street with a bowl and stood next to the female beggar, looking like a ruffian and hooligan, shaking his feet and shaking his head to look at the shopkeeper.

At this moment, I heard the shopkeeper bombard the female beggar and said: "Don't be verbose, let's go!" Get out there! ”

The female beggar knew that there was no hope of asking for help, so she took the child's hand and wanted to leave. Yi Linglong stretched out her hands to stop her and brought the wonton bowl to the child.

Yi Linglong took two steps back, looked at the sign of the shop, looked at it for a long time, and then turned back to the boss and said, "Boss, what are you selling?" ”

The shopkeeper frowned and stared at Yi Linglong, and then looked at the two beggars, still unangry: "Don't sell things for beggars!" ”

Yi Linglong said: "I see that your store is also small, can it be bigger?" If you can't fit two people's butts, what big business can you do! ”

The shopkeeper couldn't laugh or cry, he was annoyed, and shouted: "How can you talk about this girl, New Year's head, how can you curse people's business!" ”

Yi Linglong didn't agree, only poked into the door of the store, and saw all kinds of fabrics inside, so she smiled and said, "It's not that I cursed you!" It's you who curse yourself. Look, it's snowing so hard outside, what's wrong with people hiding in front of your door? It's not because your store can't accommodate it, what's the reason? ”

The shopkeeper said, "Yes, I can't tolerate beggars!" Beggars should go to the Gatehouse, which is where people like them gather. ”

Kui Gate Tower is the place where the Cao family went to find Zhuang Qian before. Here, Yi Linglong naturally didn't know that the Cao family had been there, but the name of Kui Gate Tower, Yi Linglong knew it.

Yi Linglong said: "Okay! No wonder you can't do business over there. However, on the eve of the New Year, I will also take pity on you and take care of your business. Do you see it? Pointing to the two beggars, he said, "Make them some clothes, one for each of the snow clothes I want to wear today, one for each for spring, one for summer, and one for autumn." In addition, I will give you a dress to wear on the Qingming Festival. Catch up with your aunt and grandmother before dark! ”

As he spoke, he took the money from his body, and did not count it, but stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand as much as he caught. After that, Yi Linglong said: "Give them all the extra silver." I'll count it when I get back! In addition, you go to the wonton shop opposite and bring a few more bowls of hot wontons and eat them right in front of your store. ”

The shopkeeper took the money, and his face was full of smiles, and he hurriedly invited him, and went to take the hand of the female beggar. The female beggar looked confused.

Yi Linglong pushed away the shopkeeper's hand and said, "Don't mind! You're welcome! Let's eat at the door! You just lift the table out! It's so shabby in your house, we won't go in! Thank you. ”

As he spoke, he pushed the shopkeeper in. After a while, two men came out with a table and three chairs.

Yi Linglong saw that there was no cushion on the chair, and said, "What do you mean?" Your shop is a little cold, and you still do the cloth business? You don't even have a cushion, and you want to stick our hot face to your cold ass? ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly beckoned to the guy and asked him to bring the cushion. Who knows, the cushion was brought, and when it was put on the chair, it was polite, and when it was put on the beggar, it was covered with a layer of cloth.

Yi Linglong didn't see it, and when the guy left, she tore off the cover and pulled the two beggars to sit down.

I only heard the shopkeeper sighing inside, chattering and talking to the guys, a little, why don't you make clothes? The boss called someone to come out and measure the size, and he kept asking the guy to go to the opposite side to serve the wontons.

The ravioli are served.

Yi Linglong didn't eat either, and watched the two of them eat.

The two beggars were timid, but after all, they were hungry and cold, and they didn't care about it. After eating, the female beggar got up, grabbed the child and knelt down and kowtowed to Yi Linglong.

Yi Linglong suddenly startled and helped them get up.

The beggar cried, "Thank you, girl." ”

Yi Linglong asked them to sit back and asked, "You guys are really, pick a kind face." This kind of fierce face is far away from the stool. Why bother! ”

The female beggar said, "Girl, we have just come, how do we know who is fierce and who is good." It is said that there are many large households in Kyoto, and throwing a bone is enough for us to gnaw for a year. That's right, I met a big family like a girl. ”

Yi Linglong said embarrassedly: "Don't say that. If everyone in the world is evil, isn't that a great chaos in the world? There is a place in the Kuimen Tower, where many people gather, no wonder you don't know it. Where do you come from? ”

The female beggar urged the child to eat more while it was hot, and replied exquisitely: "We will hit Zhili Village on the outskirts of the Tianshan Mountains in the north." In the past two years, we have been plagued by drought and floods, and we can't survive anymore, so we can only find Kyoto to beg. As she spoke, the female beggar cried, "When I came, the people along the way, starved to death, scattered, and we were the only ones left in our family." ”

When Yi Linglong heard this, she was very pitiful, so she took out the silver from her body and quietly stuffed it to the beggar, saying, "You go to the Kuimen Building to find a house to live in, and it will be cheaper over there." Moreover, there are many people like you in that place, and there may be your fellow villagers and elders. There is no need to excuse me, my money is also given by a large family. I won't need that much, so I'll lend it to you for the time being. ”

As he finished speaking, the owner of the wonton stall on the other side of the road called out across the road: "Girl! The car is applauded! ”

Yi Linglong responded: "Wait! Then he patted the beggar's hand, touched the beggar's child's face, and said, "I have something urgent and have to go." Thou shalt be stiffer on your own waist, and thou shalt not be afraid, and I will give them silver. If you don't obey the call, you'll be shouting on the road. This business person is most afraid of this. Therefore, there is no need to be polite to them, and their thief face grows more and more. ”

When the two beggars had heard this, they knelt down again and thanked them. After Yi Linglong helped him up, he asked the shop owner to come out and tell him, so intimidating and tempting, and then he left the cloth village tailor shop to board the car on the side of the road.

Before boarding the bus, he gave the wonton stall owner a few more dollars, and said, "Later, you will go to the opposite side to clean up the dishes and chopsticks." Look at me a little more. Don't bully my two people. I'll come out again and thank you. ”

The wonton stall owner nodded in response, and watched Linglong leave.

Returning to Zhuangfu from outside, Yi Linglong did not enter from the main entrance, but only let the car go around to the back door of Beifu. got out of the car, and the doorkeeper saw that he was exquisite, and he came to greet him with a smile and help carry things. The meaning is to let them mention it, and they can settle down easily.

After getting started.

Yi Linglong wanted to take back the gift, but the boys guarding the door politely said to help, and Yi Linglong said: "Come less!" Your wife will have to talk about you when she sees you. ”

The gatekeeper said, "Alas! Mrs. scolded a few words to relieve hatred, we don't feel pain, girl, you treat us well, give silver tea every day, this little thing, what are you afraid of. ”

Yi Linglong didn't want to embarrass them after all, so she picked up the things and said happily: "Let's go!" ”

The doorkeeper smiled, and followed her a few steps and said, "Girl, the big wolf dog from Dongfu is going to be shipped out." I heard that the second master was afraid that the old lady would know and blame him. Do you want to take another look? ”

Yi Linglong was stunned.

Here, there is a little unexpected story. The eldest lord Zhuang Xi returned from the northern rebellion, brought back four wolf dogs in the north with the trophies, and locked them up in the Dongfu side courtyard after returning. That day, in order to take revenge on the two surnamed Liu, Zhuang Pu went to Dongfu to steal the wolf dog, so that Ayu could dig out the wolf's heart and dog eyes to replace the two, and the old lady was worried about it, and made a fuss in the East Mansion, and later, the old lady ordered the eldest master to dispose of the wolf dog. The eldest lord listened to the old lady's words, and flamboyantly told the old lady that he had sent the dog out, who knows, and the matter of turning around asked the second master Zhuang Lu to take the wolf dog back to Beifu for captivity, and no one in the Zhuang Mansion knew about it. It just so happened that day that Linglong went to the backyard of Dongfu to steal from the ancient well, detoured from Beifu, and met halfway.

Knowing the place where the wolf dogs are kept in captivity, Yi Linglong went to tease the dogs when he was fine, and he got acquainted with them. When no one was around, she quietly let one out to play, and the one that greeted her kindly was named "Erlang God" by her. Sometimes he is even more bold, taking meat to lure Erlang God out for a walk, because of this, the few who guard the door have seen it.

Yi Linglong didn't hide it, so she smuggled the wolf dog into the house and told them how to sneak it in. Those who guard the door know that the old lady is making trouble in the East Mansion, and the old man is dealing with the wolf dog. They talked about this incident before and after, and Yi Linglong realized that the old man was 'secretly Chencang'. She is also knowledgeable, so that the few guarding the door are not publicized.

Now, the second master is afraid of things and wants people to transport the dog out. The gatekeeper knows, so he naturally wants to say something to Yi Linglong.

Thanks to the gatekeeper, Yi Linglong quickly screamed and ran back to the fence bamboo garden, and did not give the gift of worshipping the gods to Aunt Nazha, put down his things and ran away again, and went straight to the place where the wolf dog was locked in Beifu.

Fortunately, the wolf dog is still there, and her Erlang God is still there.

Yi Linglong's feelings for the other two dogs were average, and she only released Erlang God, played in the yard, and talked to it. I don't know which passer-by saw this scene, and Guiyuan, the eldest girl who reported it to the Cao family, knew.

Guiyuan learned that he was anxious to tell Cao.

At that time, the Cao family was angry in the house, complaining that the old lady was celebrating Yu Qi's birthday!
