When I arrived at Qingyan City, the sky had gradually darkened, and when I was on the road, Xia Yu and Zhang He chatted, and Zhang He also learned that Xia Yu was not a person from Qingyan, but a traveler passing by. Zhang He is an honest person, and naturally knows the truth of knowing the kindness of retribution, so he took the initiative to invite and say:

"Benefactor, if you don't dislike it, can you go to the cold house tonight to be wronged for one night?" Zhang He said respectfully, for fear of upsetting the benefactor.

Xia Yu was suddenly overjoyed, he had little money left, and he was worried that he had no place to live at night, Zhang He just solved his urgent need, and immediately agreed with a smile: "That's great, I'm worried that I have no place to live, thank you, I'll bother you tonight." ”

"Where? The benefactor can come to the humble house, and the humble house is full of brilliance. Zhang He was also very happy, his small shop, since he came to his generation, had never been such a valuable guest.

Zhang He runs a pharmacy in Qingyan City, which has been passed down from his ancestors. Although the façade of the pharmacy is not too big, the business is still prosperous, and it can barely be regarded as a well-off family in Qingyan City. But after Zhang He's generation, Zhang He was loyal and honest, and he was the kind of person who couldn't let out a fart when he kicked three feet, so he was often bullied, and the business of the pharmacy was getting worse, and now he can barely make ends meet.

When he came to Zhang He's pharmacy, it was completely dark, and the pharmacy was already closed, Zhang He knocked on the door twice, and after a while, there were footsteps and a woman's voice from inside the door: "It's so late?

"Who else? I'm back. Zhang He said loudly.

Then, with a click, the door opened, revealing a worried woman's face.

"Dead ghost, why did you come back, but you scared me to death!"

Zhang He scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly. At this time, the woman noticed Xia Yu behind Zhang He, and asked suspiciously, "Who is this?"

Xia Yu smiled slightly, and politely arched his hand: "Hello, it's raining in Xiayu." ”

Zhang He hurriedly walked into the door: "Come in and talk about it, come in and talk about it." ”

After entering the pharmacy, Zhang He told the woman about his encounter with Xia Yu as it was, and the woman's face changed in fright after hearing this, and she bent down to Xia Yu again and again with gratitude.

"Oh, thank you benefactor, great kindness, if this dead ghost has three long and two short, the sky in our house will fall. ”

The woman's gratitude made Xia Yu a little embarrassed, and hurriedly helped the woman up, and said with a smile: "It's just a gesture, don't worry about it." ”

"Old woman, hurry up and get some food for the benefactor, after a long day's journey, the benefactor must have been hungry for a long time. At this time, Zhang He suddenly interjected.

"Well, I'll go. With that, the woman hurriedly put on her apron and rushed into the kitchen.

After a while, a table of ordinary peasant dishes was put on the table, and the woman was still a little cramped, and said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, there are only these coarse tea and light rice." ”

Xia Yu smiled disapprerovingly: "This is already very good, I used to eat worse than this." Xia Yu was really hungry at this time, so he ate unceremoniously, and didn't forget to ask for another small plate to eat for the phantom butterfly. Zhang Hehe and the woman next to him couldn't help but be surprised when they saw a beautiful butterfly suddenly falling from the sky and landing on a plate to eat. However, out of respect and admiration for Xia Yu, they did not ask what was going on.

During the meal, the woman couldn't help but count Zhang He: "You dead ghost, you really don't want to die, for the sake of a bitter plant, if you put your life on the line?"

Zhang He made a bitter face and sighed helplessly: "What can I do? Tomorrow is Lord Yu's birthday, but we can't even get a decent gift." ”

Xia Yu, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but suddenly become interested, and asked casually: "Who is this Lord Yu? ”

Xia Yu originally thought that Zhang He wanted to sell this Kuding for money, which is a relatively rare herb and can be sold for a good price. Zhang He's family doesn't seem to be wealthy, and the bitter ding he exchanged for his life is actually going to be given away as a congratulatory gift, it's hard to imagine that this birthday of Lord Yu is so important?

At the mention of Lord Yu, Zhang He's face couldn't help but show admiration, and he said slowly: "Lord Yu refers to the patriarch of the Yu family, Yu Zheng. The Yu family is the largest family in our Qingyan City, half of Qingyan City is their Yu family, so to speak, in our Qingyan City, Yu Zheng is equivalent to the Emperor of the Earth, tomorrow is his fiftieth birthday, and the whole city, whether it is a dignitary or an ordinary person, will go to congratulate him on his birthday. ”

Xia Yu couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he heard this, although they both belonged to one of the four northern cities, but the power structure of Qingyan City was completely different from Tongming City, Tongming City belonged to the joint jurisdiction of multiple families, but Qingyan City was the dominant family of the Yu family, and the Yu family was equivalent to the city lord of Qingyan City.

Xia Yu suddenly became interested, such a powerful family, there must be a lot of masters, hehe, I don't know which of their Yu Zheng patriarchs is stronger or weaker than themselves?

After eating, Xia Yu learned that Zhang He and his wife had even boiled Xia Yu's bath water, and the room prepared for Xia Yu had been re-cleaned, and a new set of bedding had been specially replaced. Xia Yu was really flattered by the simple couple's such meticulous hospitality, although Xia Yu saved Zhang Yiyi's life, but he never thought of letting the other party repay the favor or something, so that he could have a hot meal, and it would be very satisfying to have a place to live in Xia Yu. They were so gracious, Xia Yu felt ashamed.

In the evening, after Xia Yu took a bath, he lay on the comfortable bed prepared for him by Zhang He and his wife, and he couldn't help but think crankily in his heart. He Xia Yu has always been good to others, he is doubly good to others, Zhang He and his wife treat him like this, and he also wants to do something for this simple couple.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, the entire Qingyan City was decorated with lights, and everyone changed into decent clothes and rushed to Yu's house with rich congratulatory gifts to celebrate Yu Zheng's birthday.

Zhang He also got up early in the morning, changed into his only decent set of clothes, brought Kuding, and was about to go out, but Xia Yu suddenly stopped him.

"Brother Zhang He, can I go too?" Xia Yu smiled slightly.

"You're going too?!" Zhang He was a little surprised, after all, Xia Yu was just a passing traveler and had nothing to do with the Yu family.

Xia Yu nodded, the purpose of his trip was to walk more, see more, broaden his knowledge, and naturally he would not miss such a grand scene. Moreover, he is also very interested in this Yu family, among the four northern cities, Tongming City and Qingyan City are the closest, and the two cities also have a lot of contacts, in order to plan for the long term, it is good to have a little contact with the Yu family.

"I want to see the most powerful family in your Qingyan City, I can. Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Of course, then come with me. Zhang He smiled innocently and immediately agreed.

Then, Zhang He took Xia Yu to Yu's house. At this time, the Yu family was already overcrowded, from the gate to the hall gate, at a glance, it was overcrowded, shoulder to shoulder, all of them were citizens of Qingyan City who came to celebrate their birthday.

"Wow, that's a lot of people. Xia Yu looked left and right in a little surprise.

"Benefactor, you can find a place to sit down, and I will go and send a congratulatory gift first. After Zhang He finished speaking, he walked away.

Xia Yu was idle by himself, so he wanted to go into the inner door to have a look. A family is generally divided into the inner door and the outer door, and the hall gate is the dividing line between the inner door and the outer door.

Xia Yu walked to the door of the hall, and was immediately stopped by the disciples of the Yu family who were guarding the door of the hall, the disciples looked Xia Yu up and down, and saw that Xia Yu was wearing ordinary, he couldn't help but show a little contempt, and said unceremoniously: "I'm sorry, is there an invitation?"

"Invitations? Xia Yu replied honestly.

"You can't enter the inner door without an invitation, so stay honestly at the outer door. After the disciple finished speaking, he stopped looking at Xia Yu and directly regarded Xia Yu as air.

Xia Yu wasn't angry, just smiled helplessly, because this is indeed a tradition, even if it is the Xia family and the Bai family, not everyone is qualified to enter the inner door.

Since he couldn't enter the inner door, Xia Yu had no choice but to wander around the outer door, and after wandering around casually for a while, Xia Yu suddenly found Zhang He in the crowd, but at this moment, Zhang He was surrounded by several people who seemed to have bad intentions.
