On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, it has been close to the end of the year, and every household has begun to prepare for the New Year's goods. At this time, a neatly dressed little woman came in and saw a guy shouting: "Xiao Ningzi!".

"It's Sister Qian! Come to buy New Year's goods?", the guy named Xiao Ningzi greeted him.

The woman nodded slightly, "Why have the names of the shops changed?".

Xiao Ningzi explained: "It's just that the owner has changed, and the shopkeepers are all old people. What does Sister Qian want?".

"It's still the old four.", suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Won't it also change the font size?".

"Don't worry! Regardless of the purchase, the owner is operated by the Wu shopkeeper, all of them are former workshops, time-honored brands, I will let Zhu Si personally do it for you!", said and greeted Zhu Si, who had just finished busy, "Three catties of melon seeds, six catties of peanuts, six catties of persimmons, six catties of fruit cakes, each divided into three parts.", said and personally stepped forward to help.

After weighing, he was about to subcontract, when suddenly a voice came from behind, "It's the bookmaid!" Welcome!".

The woman was very stunned, "How is Tang Gongzi!" You are the proprietor of Tongxingchang.".

This person is Tang Tong, I saw him nod, "What do you want to buy when the book girl comes to our store?", Xiao Ningzi saw that the two knew each other, and walked aside with interest, and stopped talking.

The waiter remains reserved, without losing the demeanor of the official eunuch, "I buy some dried fruits for the New Year for the family, I handle it here every year, and I don't want to change it to Tang Dongjia this year.".

Tang Tong let out an 'oh', and saw that it was Zhu Si who greeted him, "Is it packed?".

Zhu Si hurriedly replied, "It's all right!" Just wait for the checkout!".

"Remember the account in the house!", Tang Tong just waved his hand.

Zhu Si hurriedly signaled to the counter to collect the account, "Record the owner's account!", Zhu Si hesitated at this time, "Miss Fang is asking someone to send it, or take it home herself?".

The waiter didn't think much about it, "Isn't it sent by Xiao Ningzi every year?", as soon as the words came out, he found that not only Xiao Ningzi was speechless, but Zhu Si was also holding the package in a daze. The waiter suddenly realized that it was not the right time to speak, and there was an owner staring at him.

"Xiao Ningzi! Aren't you still in trouble? I'm here to send the book girl!", Tang Tong said as he winked at Xiao Ningzi.

It's obviously to suppress others, but it's useless here in the waiter's book, "Call me a car and I'll take the car back alone!".

Unexpectedly, Tang Tong reacted faster, "Xiao Ningzi! Don't take the package yet!", Xiao Ningzi quickly understood, and immediately took the package and walked out of the store. Tang Tong stretched out his hand, "Maid please!", the two of them went out of the store and saw Xiao Ningzi leading the way.

The waiter looked at Tang Tong's serious appearance, "Tang Gongzi! What exactly is your purpose?".

Tang Tong smiled, and did not show what he wanted, "Such a beautiful girl, it is my honor to be by my side!".

The waiter didn't expect Tang Tong to be such a scoundrel, standing still and asking sharply: "You tell me the truth, otherwise don't send it!".

Tang Tong wiped his chest when he heard this, and asked with a sigh of relief, "Do you really want to tell the truth?".

The waiter had a hunch in his heart that he had a plan for himself. Justifiably: "Say it quickly!"

Tang Tong hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth, "I like your --!", and his voice was very long.

The waiter felt a sense of humiliation, closed his eyes and refused, "I don't like you!"

Tang Tong spoke faster this time, "I like your young lady, I hope the maid will pull the strings for me!".

The waiter was frightened by Tang Tong's words, and shook his head again and again after a while, "You are a toad who wants to eat swan meat, wishful thinking!".

That knowing Tang Tong was not discouraged, nor did he feel shy, "Miss Qin may like me, the toad, and it is not impossible that the toad will become the frog prince in time.".

The waiter didn't expect him to say such a thing, and he was amused for a while, but he didn't know what words to use to respond, and he said, "It's up to you?".

"I came to the capital for four months, not to open up a world, and with a pure heart, I will never give up until the end!".

The waiter thought it was ridiculous, "You're such a wonderful flower!", and then walked on.

"There is no impossibility, only what is not enough!", Tang Tong immediately chased after him.

The waiter turned his head to look at Tang Tong who had caught up, he didn't expect him to say such a thing, and snorted, "Then I'll wait and see!".

Unexpectedly, Tang Tong replied very happily, "You just wait!", the waiter was still laughing secretly.

Xiao Ningzi led Tang Tong and the servant in front of him, crossed a street and alley to the west to Shengning Street, and then turned south to Zhenyue Lane. I didn't walk in for long, and I came to a narrow alley and went straight inside. Came to a small door Xiao Ningzi went in directly with the package, and it didn't take long to come out, at this time Tang Tong and the waiter had just arrived, Xiao Ningzi said to the waiter; "The things have been given to Uncle Fang, I am gone.".

The waiter looked at Tang Tong and strongly demanded, "Take your host family away!"

Tang Tong was looking at her at this time, "There is a way that if you don't hit the giver with a smile, you won't invite me in to sit?"

The waiter was a little dazed when he heard this, so he retreated and warned, "You are not afraid of dirty inside!"

Tang Tong laughed disappreciatively, "You can sleep in the pile of dead people, you still care about this!".

The waiter wanted to see how he was, "Then you can come in!", and said that he entered his own house, Tang Tong stared at Xiao Ningzi, and Xiao Ningzi had no choice but to stay nearby.

It is a small courtyard of five rooms, with three wings on the main seat, one side of the room, in front of the back wall of the other courtyard, and only a narrow alley with two people's shoulders wide in and out. Tang Tong saw the waiter enter the wing room directly opposite the courtyard gate, and followed in, it was a kitchen.

The waiter was pouring hot boiling water from a bowl, and when he saw Tang Tong coming in, he handed it to him, "The family is poor!" Only boiled water loves to drink or not!".

After Tang Tong took it, he seemed very satisfied, "This is already very good!".

At this time, a voice came, "Aunt Qian, are you back?".

"Daddy! It's me! You're busy!", Tang Tong took a few sips, saw the waiter come out of the kitchen, put down the bowl and followed. Tang Tong followed to the room next to the kitchen, and saw an old man in his fifties weaving straw ropes. I am a family member sent by the Qin Mansion to protect Aunt Qian, and it has not been safe on the road recently, so Miss instructed me to pick it up safely!"

The waiter looked at Tang Tong and smiled. Uncle Fang said politely: "That's hard for you!" You find your own ground to sit on!".

"Okay!", Tang Tong saw a wooden bench next to him and sat down.

Seeing the waiter take out some broken silver and hand it to his father, "You keep it for yourself, don't let the two brothers take it away!", Uncle Fang nodded again and again, feeling infinitely warm in his heart.

The waiter said with concern: "I'll go boil water for you to take a bath.", said to clean up the bed first, Tang Tong saw that there was a crutch next to the Fang Bo, it seemed that he was a cripple, and the waiter should come back every other day to take care of it.

After packing up the book, he went to the kitchen to boil water, and when he passed in front of Tang Tong, Tang Tong followed. Seeing that the waiter was fetching water from the pot, Tang Tong rushed to the stove to fold firewood and light the fire.

The waiter was very surprised, and not only asked; "I didn't expect Lord Tang to be a good hand in the kitchen!".

"After I got married, I rarely went into the kitchen, I didn't think about it!".

It seems that he is a man who cares about his family, and he must take special care of his wife, so the waiter asked curiously, "Then how did your wife go?".

Tang Tong looked at the flames and was silent, the servant and Tang Tong only had two sides, and it was so abrupt to ask this question. Unexpectedly, he didn't mind, and said softly: "Being ruined by the chaotic soldiers, I can't kill myself in anger!".

The waiter felt guilty when he heard this, and felt that he should not have brought it up. The waiter came to the stove, "Tang Gongzi, I'll burn the fire!".

Tang Tong looked at her with tenderness on his face, "Such a beautiful woman, I can't bear to do this, I'll come!".

The servant had never been pitied by a man, and his heart trembled. Soon came to his senses, and inadvertently felt a kind of disgust, "Aren't you belittling me?".

Tang Tong looked at the waiter and shook his head hurriedly, "Why does the girl think like this!" If Qin Ge is always your young lady, I am not even as good as you! Isn't it?", this metaphor made the waiter at a loss for a while, and saw that the waiter didn't speak.

"I'm working so hard to get out of the current predicament, just like you, I want to change the status quo and give your father a better life, we are all people at the bottom.", he looked at the waiter very sincerely as he spoke.

The servant didn't expect Tang Tong to say such a thing, and he really looked down on him, the person he liked had to be a literate and elegant jinshi, not a reckless martial artist like Tang Tong, and he never had a good impression of a martial artist in his heart.

Tang Tong saw that the waiter was silent, and asked suspiciously, "Am I not right?"

Seeing that the waiter was still silent, Tang Tong stood up and apologized and said, "It's my mistake just now, please forgive me!"

The waiter didn't expect Tang Tong to apologize to himself, and he couldn't help but feel a kind of admiration in his heart, "You can add your firewood!".

"Obey!", Tang Tong smiled happily and sat down to look at the fire as he spoke.
