The first snow fell on time as in previous years. That night, in a house in the west of Xiangzhou Prefecture, Master Zhu and a middle-aged man pushed cups and changed lamps, both of them drank a little high, and the middle-aged man said with a big tongue: "Brother, how have you been in the past six months, why haven't you gotten together for a long time." "The man's name is Zhu Changping, and he is the cousin of Master Zhu, and the two have a very good relationship.

Da Zhu heard the wine glass in his hand slammed down, and said with a long breath: "Don't say it, I was recently held by a wild boy with a knife to my neck, and I almost died." ”

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Zhu Changping's eyes narrowed into a slit, he had been messing with people from the third-rate Nine Sects since he was a child, and the most unpleasant thing was that his brother was bullied.

"That guy is so lazy to do it, I was seen by the cattle shopkeeper and scolded me for not caring about the kitchen, I couldn't get angry, I said him once, he held a grudge and took a knife to retaliate against me. ”

"Haha, there is such a thing, who is this person's surname?"

"Forget it, that guy doesn't want to die, he doesn't have the same knowledge as him, and he comes to drink and drink. ”

"Move my brother, how can you let it go easily, brother, say his name quickly. ”

The climate in the north and south of the week is warm, and there are at most two or three snowfalls throughout the winter, and the snowfall is not long, and this year the snow stopped early the next morning. Shi Keqi has been coming to Xiangya Pavilion for two months, and he has been squatting for two months, except for standing a little steady, he has not made any progress in martial arts.

Shi Keqi saw that the snow stopped, got up and was about to go to the martial arts hall to practice, and as soon as he pushed open the door of the backyard, he saw Xiao Budian standing outside Zhangyu with a package, and he greeted in surprise: "It's so early, it's still early to work." ”

"I had already told the cattle shopkeeper a few days ago that I would not do it, but I didn't tell you, and I specially bid you farewell today, thank you for your help and care. Xiao Budian finished her typed draft in one breath, a little relaxed, and a little gloomy.

"Why, didn't you do it well, did the fat pig bully you again?"

"No, the fat pig didn't dare touch me for two months. ”

Shi Keqi twisted a few creases on his forehead, stared at Xiao Budian's face, couldn't find the slightest trace of insincerity, and said puzzledly: "What is the reason?"

Xiao Budian's face turned red, and he lowered his head embarrassedly and said: "Earlier, my aunt found me a family affair, the man's family is relatively rich, I didn't agree at first, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still agreed, and I have found someone to look forward to the future, and I passed the door a year ago." ”

"What, you have to pass through the door, how old are you, you don't seem to be fourteen old enough to marry. ”

"The man made some silver taels at the official household registration office, and changed my age to a year older, so that I could get married. ”

"Well, I can take the liberty of asking...... Are you handsome for the man in the future?" Shi Keqi was still a little happy for Xiao Bu, but he knew a little in his heart that the man would probably not be handsome, and he asked such a sentence with a fluke mentality.

Xiao Budian's face was suddenly covered with black clouds, biting his lip, and he wanted to speak again.

Shi Keqi knew that he had asked the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said haha: "It doesn't matter if a man is handsome or not, the key is to have enough ability to support his family, in my opinion, he is the most handsome." ”

Xiao Bu said with difficulty: "It's not like this, that person is almost fifty years old, and he just lost his wife last year." ”

Shi Keqi gasped: "Then you are still married." ”

"There's no way, a rough orphan girl like me can only do some chores, although that person is a little older, but I heard that it hurts people. ”

“......”

Shi Keqi couldn't remember what to say all of a sudden, the two were a little embarrassed and silent for a while, and Xiao Buqiang smiled and said: "He doesn't have a concubine, I married a wife, luckier than ordinary people, someone married an old man in his seventies and eighties as a concubine, that's the worst." ”

“......”

"If you don't marry me, Brother Shi, I will be happy no matter how poor I am. Xiao Budian raised his head and said, there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes.

Ahem, cough, Shi Keqi coughed, just wanted to say that you are still so young. Xiao Bu smiled and said, "I'm joking, that person has already paid a dowry, and if I regret it, I can't afford to pay it, and my aunt will beat me." Yes, there are two pairs of shoes I made in it. After speaking, he stuffed the package in his hand into Shi Keqi's arms, and without waiting for him to speak, he continued: "I should go back, I'm sorry to disturb you." Xiao Budian waved his hand, turned his head and walked away.

Shi Keqi said with a sour heart: "Anyway, I should want to thank you, without your help, I would probably be driven away in Xiangya Pavilion within a few days, I wish you happiness and peace." ”

"Well, I'll be happy. Xiao Budian didn't look back, and replied a little choked, afraid that the tears that filled his eyes would fall as soon as he turned around.

Shi Keqi stayed in place, his pinched fingers turned white, and there seemed to be a voice shouting in his heart: What kind of world is this?

He went back to bed and covered his head and slept, rarely absent from this morning exercise.

At the same time, in the Jingtai Hall of the Imperial Palace of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Yuwen Jianzheng feasted his ministers and congratulated him on the fact that there was no war this year.

There are ministers who write gorgeous congratulatory messages with a pen and moaning with joy on their faces; there are also ministers with serious faces who eat and drink the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and at the same time rack their brains to make a draft, preparing to impeach tomorrow the inner palace that hosts the banquet for extravagance and waste.

After Xiao Budian left, Shi Keqi was really too busy, and the shopkeeper Niu soon recruited a young handyman.

Xiang Ya Ge does not do breakfast and supper, and closes at the end of the day.

At this moment, there was a glimmer of light in the moon, a middle-aged man named Zhu Changping was walking towards Xiangya Pavilion with five green skins, and there was a green skin who had drunk wine together on the way, he carried a can of freshly refined hot lard to his home, and when he saw everyone at the street and asked what was wrong, he called out to good brothers to go together.

The green skin who took the lead picked a lantern to illuminate the way, and the group was majestic and high-spirited as they walked, shouting and shouting and killing, as if they were going to overthrow an army, not a teenager, which attracted not many passers-by to dodge sideways.

After the Xiangya Pavilion closed, only the door in the backyard was open, and the doors in the rest of the places were closed. A few people who lived here were packing up their things in the courtyard, and suddenly a group of people rushed in, and they came in and shouted for Shi Keqi.

Shi Keqi had some guesses in his heart and said, "What are you looking for me?" The group of people hula all came around, and two of them grabbed him by the arm and walked out of the door, not fierce, saying that he would go outside to talk about things, but he did not do anything or resist, and let them take him away.

Walking into a cul-de-sac in a small alley in the middle of nowhere, a middle-aged man approached and shouted, "Do you know what's going on with you?"

"Because of the fat pig?"

"Who's Fat Pig?"

"Hehe, I'm sorry I gave him the nickname myself, Fat Pig is the chef of Xiang Yage. ”

"Ha, yes, I like it, my mouth is so cheap. ”

"Brother Zhu, why are you talking so much nonsense with him, watch the fight. A green skin was impatient, and after speaking, he slapped his hand.

Scoch stomped his feet, his left foot on the one who grabbed him on the left, and the one on the right with his right foot. The two let go of their hands in pain, he lowered his head to dodge the oncoming slap, and his right hand turned into a fist and slammed upwards on the throat of the slapping green skin, who clutched his throat and fell.

With a backkick, he kicked to the perineum of the green skin that was stepped on in the left back, and then put an elbow on the green skin temple in the back of the right, and the two of them instantly rolled to the ground, losing their combat strength.
