Hearing a shout, the woman wiped away her tears, walked quickly to the door of the back kitchen, picked up a large wooden basin full of dishes, went to the well, and neatly carried a bucket to wash the dishes.

The woman who was scraping the fish with a knife on the side saw that her eyes were red and she didn't speak, so she hurriedly asked, "Qiao Niang, what's wrong?" It's going to be hard for you again?"

The woman who was called Qiao Niang sniffed and did not speak.

The woman who scraped the fish carried the knife and made a gesture to get up: "See that I don't shave a layer of skin on him."

"Sister-in-law of the Qi family......" Qiao Niang raised her hand and pressed the arm of the woman opposite, and said angrily, "Don't tease me."

Naturally, the woman would not really use a knife to scrape people, but the two of them just talked about making trouble and had fun in their suffering.

Qiao Niang only then opened her mouth and talked about what had just happened.

The fish-killing woman scolded twice, but finally sighed: "...... But if you want to eat with your ability, why is it so difficult!"

"yes, it's hard." Qiao Niang lowered her head to wash the dishes and said, "It's hard to come out, and it's hard to be at home...... After the death of her father, I was a widow and a daughter, and there were no fewer unpleasant words in front of the door. It's a difficult word, and I'd rather come out with a hard time, at least I have the money to get it!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Qiao Niang showed a bitter but reassuring smile: "The day before yesterday, I went to the butcher shop to buy more than half a catty of leg meat, and cut a new skirt for Nannan, Nannan was so happy that she had to hold her head in her arms when she slept."

The movements of her subordinates washing the dishes were fast and clean, and when it came to her daughter, the only bitterness was gone: "Sister-in-law Qi, it's good to have money, and it's good to be able to support your family with money."

Before she took Nannan, the people around her persuaded her to find someone to remarry, and the matchmaker brought her a few people, not mentioning whether she liked it or not, the other party was not happy for her to take Nannan, and she was picky and picky between words, and she didn't know how many times she cried with her daughter.

But now that she is good, she can also come out to work, and she can earn a bite to eat for herself and her family with her own hands, so she doesn't have to think about remarrying that bad thing for the time being!

"If you think so, my sister-in-law will be relieved." The woman who scraped the fish said, "Let's do a good job here, and whoever says anything about it, we won't go home!" If we go home with tears in our eyes, we'll be doing what those people want!"

Speaking of the back, the woman lifted her chin to indicate the direction of the front hall.

"Yes." Qiao Niang nodded: "The shopkeeper is not blind, he opens the door to do business, he wants to make money...... Whoever does his job carefully and diligently, who steals women behind his back and plays slippery for fear of being compared, after a long time, the shopkeeper naturally has a book in his heart, let's do a good job, no one can squeeze out."

And they can come out to work, because Chang Tingshi thought of many ways to do it, and they are willing to use female workers everywhere because the government has given corresponding benefits.

They don't understand those complicated doorways, but Qiao Niang knows that in layman's terms, Chang Thorn Shi spent money on them, and many of them were born to be called "money losers", but this time, no matter what, Chang Thorn Shi can't be allowed to lose money.

In this way, you have to work harder, you can't let Chang Assassin Shi waste his hard work, and you can't let people take advantage of their incompetence, and then laugh at Chang Assassin Shi Jing for doing useless work.

They are not as good as Chang Thorn History, everyone says that Chang Thorn Shi is a natural star, and the things that Chang Thorn Shi did are things that they can't learn in eight lifetimes. Although they envy and look up, they also know that there is only one history of frequent assassination, and not everyone can become a permanent assassin.

But such a history of frequent assassination, which is only one person, is thinking about them, and wants to pull countless such ordinary people to stand up together, and this intention is even more precious.

So, they have to fight.

And they do chores in the restaurant, and it is not the most difficult, I heard that those women who go to learn crafts and work as craftsmen are difficult, many trades do not allow women to enter the door, they are excluded and difficult, I don't know how much sarcasm and cold eyes.

In the end, the lady of the Qi family smiled and said, "Everything is like an uphill slope at the beginning, but it will be fine in the future!"

"Yes, when female workers were just recruited everywhere, the mothers-in-law at the head of the village were louder than anyone else, saying that 'only those who don't want to face will go out to mess around,' they don't know what to do when they are deceived, and they don't know a word, so beware of being coaxed

Go, 'The little girl's family goes out to show her face every day, and she doesn't have a family, and it's hard to talk about her relatives...... Anyway, there is no good word."

When Qiao Niang said this, she pouted and smiled: "But two days ago, one of them came to me and asked me if we were recruiting female workers in our shop, and she wanted to send her eldest granddaughter to work together."

There are many people doing it, and seeing that everyone is earning money, don't you have to be in a hurry?

What is a face? In front of the uproar of copper plates, if it were really that important, there would not be so many people who would rather sell their sons and daughters than exchange for money.

"So I always think that as long as we get through it, maybe it will get better and better......" Qiao Niang stacked the clean dishes, "If one year is not enough, it will be two years, and if two years is not enough, it will be ten years...... Maybe when they grow up, they will feel that it is not a shame to be able to eat with their own hands."

"That's right!" The lady of the Qi family raised her hand and rubbed the beads of sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, and grinned: "I heard what a group of scholars who came to eat yesterday said, gentleman is noble...... Why is it self-reliance? Let's be gentlemen too!"

"How can you still be a gentleman...... Qiao Niang smiled and took off a piece of fish scales on her forehead for the Qi family lady.

The summer sun shimmered on the pile of scraped fish scales, and the scales seemed to have become luxurious jewels.

The man with long eyebrows on his back had already arrived outside the Assassin's Mansion.

Hearing the man's intention, the official guarding outside shook his head at him and stretched out his hand to point in the direction: "...... Go over there, go over there."

The man arched his hand again and said with a smile, "This poor master, I want to see Lord Assassin Shi, and I want to report it."

"There are a lot of people who want to see Lord Assassin, but how can anyone of us Lord Assassin see him if he wants to?" The official waved his hand again to drive people away.

"Isn't Lord Thorn Shi recruiting talent now?" The man asked.

"It's a wide range of talents!" Another official also pointed in the direction of the side door: "So let you go over there, go in and line up from there, and those who are interested will be registered in the register, and then if you can pass the assessment, you can assign errands according to what you are good at!"

The man turned his head to look, saw the long line, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I still want to see Lord Assassin."

The official was a little annoyed: "...... Why can't you understand what people are saying, you said to go over there and enter the register! Every day, people like you, to say the least, have a hundred and ten, if all of them are seen by Lord Thorn Shi in person, then we don't have to do anything!"

"Like me, Hundred Ten?" The man smiled confidently, "That can't be compared."

The two officials looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

「…… Your Excellency's cheekiness is incomparable to theirs!"

"You don't have an invitation, so go over there and register honestly, don't be here to be cruel!" literature

One of the officials saw that two carriages were coming, and thought that Master Assassin Shi had returned, so he hurriedly pushed the man away with the scabbard in his hand: "Hurry up, go quickly, don't get in the way again......!"

The man descended the stone steps, avoided the side, and turned his head thoughtfully when he saw the official's expression.

As the carriage stopped, Luo Guanlin came out of the car, just in time for the man's inquiring gaze.

After being stunned for a moment, Luo Guanlin walked forward quickly, came to the man with long eyebrows, and asked unexpectedly, "...... How did you get there so quickly?"

Why did you come directly to the Thorn Mansion? Didn't they all say in the letter that they met in a restaurant outside?

The man he called the virtuous brother was also stunned, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your Excellency is ......?"

Luo Guanlin only thought that the mask on his face hindered the recognition of the two, and when he was about to speak, he saw that the man's expression was lifted, and he had already passed him straight behind him and walked quickly behind him.

Chang Suining, who also got out of the carriage, was walking here.

As the official saluted, the man with long eyebrows already knew her identity, his eyes lit up, and he lowered his head and hugged his fists and saluted: "Wake up in the lower Tang Dynasty, and I have long admired the name of Chang Assassin!"

Chang Suining asked with some surprise, "Tang Xing...... Don Xiu is sleepy?"

Long-eyebrow man

Zi was surprised: "Chang Thorn Shi has actually heard of it?"

His prestige has spread to Jiangdu?

Chang Suining looked at Luo Guanlin walking behind him with a smile, nodded and said, "Heard."

At this time, Wang Yue had also gotten out of the carriage, and Chang Sui Ning invited the man with long eyebrows to go to the mansion to talk together.

The man with long eyebrows was overjoyed, and subconsciously looked at his horse.

Chang Suining motioned to the official to help him lead the horse.

The man with long eyebrows thanked him and followed Chang Suining into the Thorn Mansion.

Along the way, seeing the man with long eyebrows walking in front and talking to Chang Suining, Wang Yue asked Luo Guanlin in a low voice, "......Who is this person?"

Luo Guanlin: "He is the Tang Xing I have mentioned to you many times......

Wang Yue immediately asked, "That prodigal son of Wutai Mountain...... You also deceived you?"

So, isn't he the only one who has been deceived?

Luo Guanlin: "......"

Although this is the case, it doesn't look like this at all at the moment, which makes him a little dazed.

Seeing that Tang Xing didn't recognize himself, Luo Guanlin was not in a hurry to talk to Tang Xing, there were many people on the road, and it was not a good time to speak.

After Chang Suining invited people into the side hall, Luo Guan took off his mask and showed himself.

Tang Xing was very surprised: "Brother Luo? How did you end up here?! Rumors don't mean you've ......."

"Fortunately, I was rescued by Chang Assassin Shi, and I didn't die in the catastrophe."

Tang Xing was both surprised and delighted, stepped forward to hold Luo Guanlin's shoulder, patted him heavily, and at the end, he sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect to see my old friend here again...... Fortunately, even that!"

"So, Brother Xian didn't receive my letters—"

Luo Guan asked, and saw Tang Xing's puzzled expression, that is, he had a clear answer, that is, from Jiangdu to Wutai Mountain, it was impossible for the letter to be so fast, so he was so surprised when he saw Tang Xing appear outside the Assassin's Mansion.

"I've been away from home since last year, and I haven't been back to Mount Wutai for more than a year!" Tang Xing smiled and said, "It's really fate to be able to see Brother Luo here today!"

In this way, Luo Guanlin reintroduced Tang Xing to Chang Suining.

At the end, Tang Xing said: "I have heard for a long time that I often stabbed the history of the great name, and this trip traveled thousands of miles to Jiangdu, just to see the majesty of the adult!"

Seeing the worthless appearance of his old friend, Luo Guanlin's mood was very complicated.

Tang Xing, the word rest, a person from Wutai Mountain in Daizhou, is also one of the three friends he wrote to.

Before the letter, he had told Chang Sui Ning that although Tang Xing was the only one of the three who had both civil and military skills, his heart was uncertain, he had no fixed place, and he was very prodigal, and he was the most difficult of the three to convince.

But the one he said was "the most difficult to persuade", but it became the most worthless one, and he took the initiative to send it to the door without his help.

Chang Suining is in a very good mood, and today can be called a double happiness.

Soon, Wang Changshi sent someone to look for her, saying that there was an urgent matter that she needed to see, so Chang Suining asked Luo Guanlin to entertain the distinguished guests on her behalf, while instructing Xi'er to let the kitchen prepare the wine and food for the evening banquet.

After Chang Suining left, Luo Guanlin asked, "...... Rest sleepy, why did you suddenly come to Jiangdu?"

"Didn't Fang Cai already say it, just because he admired the famous name of Chang Thorn History, I came to see the true face!" Tang Xing's eyes were full of admiration: "...... Seventy-three kills the thief, it's really a pleasure!"

Luo Guanlin was silent, so he didn't care about his feelings and life or death at all, right?

But at the same time, he also knows that Tang Xing is a person, the other party is free and uninhibited, and he has always disliked to be bound by the world.

Such people have their own set of views on right and wrong. There is no way to apply good or bad in the ordinary secular sense to him.

Luo Guanlin once served as the county magistrate in Wutai Mountain, and it was at that time that he met Tang Xing, who was still very young, and the other party had an intersection with him because of his lonely act of suppressing bandits, and he became a friend after coming and going.

But then Tang Xing told him that the bandit was not to eliminate harm for the people, but to be angry with his parents, run away from home, and did not bring a penny, so he sprouted

The idea of earning some entanglement in the bandit's den.

There are many "ronin" deeds of Tang Xing, such as when he was twelve years old, he was sent to the best academy in Daizhou by his family, but on the way to apprentice, he gave the bundle to the orphan girl who sold himself to bury his father on the side of the road, and wandered on his own.

He is the son of a rich local family with many brothers in the family, but he is the most unique one, and the one that his father and mother want to throw away the most.

The reason why it was named Tang Xing was because he was born sleepy, did not cry or make trouble, which was worrying, so he not only named it "Awake", but also took the word "resting and sleepy...... This is also the thing that the Tang family's father and mother regret the most - the bad is bad in this name!

When he grew up, Tang Xing was more naughty than ordinary children, and he didn't stop all day long, just like his name.

Since he was a child, he has often disappeared, and he loves to travel and new things.

At this moment, what else does Luo Guanlin not understand, the other party is afraid that he is coming for Chang Suining's "novelty" - in recent years, is there anything more strange than her in the world?

His letter was redundant.

Although Tang Xing pursued his own way, he did not completely ignore the feelings of his friends, and he did not forget to explain Luo Guanlin at this moment: "Brother Luo, in life, who has not taken a few detours? A person like you who dares to think and dare to do is worthy of this life!"

He did not deny Luo Guanlin's move to follow Xu Zhengye, and he never thought that friends should be completely consistent, after all, he traveled all over the world, and there were too many friends. And in his view, people are different, and they need to understand and respect each other.

Luo Guanlin's chase of "Jun Xian Chenming".

He chases strange people and wonders.

That night, Chang Suining held a banquet to entertain Wang Yue and Tang Xing.

After the banquet, Tang Xing, who had drunk wine, opened the long box he was carrying.

Yao Ran looked at the strange man who was uninhibited and incompatible with this Assassin Shi Mansion, and the long sword he held in his hand, and only listened to him: "I have heard for a long time that the Assassin Shi is excellent in martial arts, I don't know if I can ask Lord Assassin Shi to teach me a lesson or two?"

Chang Suining nodded in agreement, and when he left the hall door, he borrowed a sword from the Seven Tigers.

Tang Xing, who was following behind, saw her behavior of borrowing the sword casually, and unconsciously raised his eyebrows, feeling more and more interesting.

Yao Ran also followed out, this person was tall and big but his body was dissolute, she was afraid that the other party would really hurt Lord Thorn Shi.

Fortunately, it turned out that she was overly worried, and after seeing that the two people in the courtyard who were too different in size had passed more than a dozen moves, their own adults had already gained the upper hand, and Yao Ran showed a relaxed smile.

Also, sword competition is what her family adults are good at, or in other words, except for wrestling and other frontal hard moves, her family is not afraid of any Bifa who has a weapon in his hand.

With a "ding" sound, the long sword in Tang Xing's hand fell to the ground, and the outcome was already known.

Chang Sui Ning took two steps forward, picked up Tang Xing's sword with the sword in his hand, caught it with his other hand, held the hilt of the sword horizontally, and handed it back to Tang Xing.

Tang Xing, who stood still in place, was like waking up from a dream, holding the cold sword blade with both hands, his eyes were extremely bright, and his heart was excited.

Early the next morning, Wang Yue, who had barely slept all night, just got up, found Luo Guanlin, and asked, "...... What about the prodigal son of Wutai Mountain?"

He came with the same choice of the Lord, and he talked to each other and communicated with each other.

But I heard Luo Guan come and say, "Let's go."

"That's it?" Wang Yue panicked in his heart, feeling abandoned by his kind, and asked in a low voice, "How did you go?" Seeing that the situation is wrong, take advantage of the night to climb over the wall?"

Luo Guanlin glanced at him: "I went to the army with Lord Assassin."

Wang Yue: "?"

That's a way to go.

No...... Are these people making decisions so hastily? Don't you need time to think about it at all?

At the same moment, Meng Lie, who was far away in Beijing, had just come out of Dayun Temple.

He had been living in the Great Cloud Temple for half a month, and until he left at this time, he had made a decision in his heart.

But after returning to Dengtai Tower, a letter from Jiangdu suddenly disrupted his decision.
