Chapter 176: Another Year
"Oh, it turns out that my husband likes big ones? No wonder I mentioned the matter of concubines before, and my husband always opposed me, and the reason is here! It's just that those older ones are already married, where can I find a suitable woman for him? ”
Du Jia was worried for a while, thinking about it, mainly because her social circle was too small, if she could live freely in Xianyuan City, she would definitely have more choices.
But the reality forced her to live a carefree life like Qinan County, and sometimes she had to hide in Tibet to escape the pursuit of her and Xu Ping by the people of Aoyue Palace.
At this moment, she began to miss her family, Qiao'er and Fei'er, and even the life in Xujia Village.
"Jia'er, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Du Jia suddenly silent, Xu Ping thought that she was not feeling well, or that she was not satisfied with something.
"I didn't...... I just miss Qiao'er and Fei'er. ”
"They...... Why don't we go to Wujimen to find them after a while and see how they are doing? ”
"Can I go to them?"
Xu Ping comforted: "Yes! Some large chambers of commerce have merchant ships going back and forth between Xianyuan City and the major sects, I will go out tomorrow to inquire, if we find a suitable merchant ship, we will immediately take a merchant ship to find Qiao'er and Fei'er. ”
Suddenly, Xu Ping felt that going to Wuji Gate was also a good way, not only to avoid the tracking of Aoyue Palace, but also to meet Fei'er and Qiao'er, and the family was reunited.
The next day, Xu Ping left the house, although there were disciples of the Aoyue Palace watching the comings and goings of pedestrians along the way.
But he wasn't worried at all, like a normal person, shuttling through every stall and shop in Xianyuan City.
"Linglong Pavilion has merchant ships going back and forth between Xianyuan City and Wuji Gate City, generally once every three or four months, and the next time a merchant ship arrives in Xianyuan City, it will be about the eighth day of March next year."
In a shop, Xu Ping heard the good news, this is the safest and fastest way to get around, if Xu Ping and his party are allowed to walk alone, it may take longer, and the journey is extremely dangerous and difficult.
It's just that the cost of taking the Linglong Pavilion merchant ship is very high, ranging from thousands of spirit stones to tens of thousands of spirit stones.
After hearing the good news, Xu Ping was very happy and hurriedly went to Linglong Pavilion to book two ships.
Back home, Xu Ping told Du Jia the good news, and Du Jia was so happy that he didn't sleep all night.
"Husband, let's go, I don't know when we will be able to come back again, what should Lin Qiu and the others do?"
When she got up in the morning, she saw the two maids who served her, Lin Qiu, who was dancing a sword in the courtyard, and the innocent Su Zhiping and Lin Tong, which made her unable to give up for a while.
Xu Ping had a headache after hearing this, if he could bring them, of course it would be the best, but it was extremely difficult along the way, if something happened that was irresistible to manpower, Xu Ping could only protect one or two people, but he couldn't take care of everyone.
If you abandon them in Xianyuan City, you may not be able to pass a year and a half, and you may never see them again in the future.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange them."
……
It's almost the New Year, but Xu Ping can't see the atmosphere of the New Year in Xianyuan City, except for a few people who make a lot of money, most of the residents' lives are very bleak.
In order to keep a low profile, Xu Ping only pasted a couplet on both sides of the gate, and did not even hang out the red lantern.
Closing the door, a family of seven sat at the table of eight immortals and enjoyed a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
"Duja, this is your New Year's money!"
"Lin Qiu, Xiaoyun, Xiaohong, this is yours."
"Xiaotong, Zhiping, you two also have ......"
Xu Ping prepared New Year's money for everyone in the family, and there were not many things, ranging from a few to a dozen spirit stones.
Originally, he was going to send some gold or silver, but the most popular payment tool in Xianyuan City was spirit stones, and Xu Ping could only follow the customs of the countryside and give everyone a little spirit stones.
"Spirit stones?" Du Jia and the others opened the red envelope, and when they saw the contents, they were a little surprised, and then they all smiled.
If you want to live a happy life in Xianyuan City, it is impossible to do without spirit stones, and receiving spirit stones on the New Year, what does this mean, it means that they are currently living well.
Lin Qiu was also full of emotion, at this time last year, the people of the Qingyun Sect were all gathered together like now, and no one was burdened with New Year's money, but worried about how to earn spirit stones.
The reason why the two maids were abandoned by their families was that they had no money at home, and they didn't even have money for the New Year, so they had to mortgage them to traffickers.
Fortunately, they met the kind-hearted Xu Ping and Du Jia, otherwise they wouldn't know where to live at this time.
Only the two little children were carefree, they didn't think about it so much, and they all hid after receiving the New Year's money.
Although Xu Ping usually did not miss their spirit stones, but those spirit stones were for them to cultivate, under Du Jia's supervision, each spirit stone was only passed by hand, and it was consumed quickly after cultivation, and there were no extra spirit stones on their bodies.
In addition to the New Year's money, Xu Ping also prepared a table of delicious food, which they had never tasted before.
"Thank you, Lord and Madame, for making us ......"
Lin Qiu and the two maids were so moved that tears were about to flow, they had never expected such a life before.
All of this was brought to them by Xu Ping and Du Jia.
"Don't be stunned, let's eat together!"
Xu Ping hurriedly changed the topic, the New Year's Eve should be like the New Year, and the family should be happy.
"Yes, Lin Qiu, Xiaotong, you all eat!"
Duggard stood up and beckoned the crowd to begin eating.
Just as Xu Ping's family was enjoying the delicious food, a rapid knock on the door sounded, and someone was still abusing outside the door: "Are there any living people inside?" Open the door for Lao Tzu! ”
Xu Ping frowned after hearing this, he was busy with other things a few days ago, and he didn't have time to find trouble with the ruffians, who would have thought that these people would not even make the New Year better.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he actually came to the door to extort money, was full of swearing, called himself Lao Tzu, and regarded himself as the emperor.
"You guys go on eating, I'll take care of it!"
Xu Ping stood up and asked Du Jia and the others to calm down.
Before he could open the door, someone kicked it open, and then seven or eight people broke into the courtyard very brutally.
"It's a good day! A large crowd of you are still hungry, but you are eating. ”
These ruffians burst through the door, looked at the delicious food on the table, and couldn't help but swallow.
After seeing Du Jia and Lin Qiu, his eyes suddenly lit up, and they were beautiful and delicious! Bring it back today......
At this time, Xu Ping was already angry, and at first he was still thinking about keeping a low profile, and then dealing with these people in private.
But now......
Nothing is needed anymore.
Insult his family, all have to die today!
