"County Lord, let's go back."

Yuqiao, the personal maid, walked up to her and said softly.

The county lord of Anyang looked at the direction in which the carriage left, and after a long time, sighed, "Yu Qiao, did you say that the third brother will come back?" ”

Yu Qiao grew up with the county lord of Anyang since he was a child, and he knows the things around the county lord best. Hearing this, Yu Qiao was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"The slave doesn't know, but Prince Chu should have his own ideas, if he wants to come back, the emperor will definitely welcome it."

"Of course! The third brother is such a powerful person, if he stays by the emperor's brother's side, it will be like a tiger! Saying that, she was a little disappointed again, "But I really don't know why the third brother left suddenly, and then this Zhou Yun'er suddenly appeared, and became the county lord of the Fifth Prince's Mansion!" ”

"County Lord, did you say that the reason why Prince Chu left the capital was because of Zhou Yun'er?"

"It's possible! How did I not think of it before? ”

An Yang had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly hated Zhou Yun'er even more, and she didn't care that Zhou Yun'er was still with the Queen Mother at the moment, so she took Yu Qiao and went directly to find her.

The palace is lively, and the city is just as lively.

Su Liuye sold out all the stinky tofu and kimchi in the store before noon today, so she had to close early and return to the kitchen to prepare tomorrow's ingredients.

After thinking about it, the ingredients in front of her will only be in business for three or four days, and then there will be nothing to buy in the store.

But the New Year is only a few days away, and she just takes advantage of her free time to go to the street to buy some New Year's goods.

As expected, three days later, the things in her store were sold out, so she simply posted a notice on the door that she was closed, took Qin Lian and her to buy things on the street all day, decorated the store, and hung red lanterns high.

Old Man Lu sat in the courtyard and watched them busy, smoking a dry cigarette in his hand, his deep eyes were full of vicissitudes.

I don't know what I remembered, Old Man Lu sighed, and was about to go back to the room to rest, when Su Liuye stopped him and held a couplet for him to stick on the door.

"I'm going to post it?" Old Man Lu was a little surprised.

"Of course it's Grandpa Lu, you're here, isn't this custom? Since Grandpa Lu is here, it must have been posted by Grandpa Lu. Su Liuye said with a smile.

"That's right, Grandpa Lu, come here."

Qin Lian set up the chair, "I'll help you below." ”

Looking at the attitude of the two, Old Man Lu was stunned for a moment before stepping forward to paste the couplet.

Su Liuye saw that the red couplet was very festive, and she was very satisfied with it.

pasted the couplet, a few people cleaned up in the store again, it snowed at night, a few people were eating hot pot in the store, the temperature was rare and harmonious, and Mr. Lu also sat there to accompany them.

Thinking that they hadn't gone back for several days, Su Liuye had to follow Qin Lian and them back to the house early the next morning, anyway, the store didn't have to open these days, and they had to wait until the beginning of spring, so they simply went back for a few days.

Uncle Zhou was arranged by Xiao Yun to take care of them, but because she was in the store these days, Uncle Zhou could only come over to check if she needed anything, so as not to have any accidents, Uncle Zhou didn't know, this was his dereliction of duty.

"I'm not going back with you! I'm just staying here! ”

Seeing that he was about to leave, Su Liuye went over to inform Old Man Lu, but was refuted by the other party.

"Grandpa Lu, we have to go back for a few days this time, and it is estimated that we will not be able to come back until the New Year, so you just follow us over to study the practice of kimchi." Su Liuye said.

Old Man Lu was a little excited, he was indeed very interested in Su Liuye's pickling method, her method was much faster than him, and she could usually eat it in one night, like he had to marinate it for several days, and some even took a month.

"Can't you come back?"

"But it's going to snow in a few days, and it's not convenient for us to come back when it snows, and it's about to be the New Year, Grandpa Lu, you can go with us, and we'll celebrate the New Year together."

"No, no, no!"

"Go, Grandpa Lu, let's go together." Qin Lian took his hand in the past, "The New Year is only lively when there are many people, and we don't feel at ease if you are here alone!" ”

"What's not to worry about."

"Let's go together!"

Qin Lian persuaded for a long time, and finally moved Old Man Lu, packed up some things with a black face and followed Su Liuye and them to the house.

Uncle Zhou had already prepared a hot meal, and he was still a little surprised to see Old Man Lu, but he quickly reacted and handed over the hot wine.

"It's a freshly heated drink, you guys can take a sip to warm up, the meal is still in the kitchen, and it will be ready later."

"Uncle Zhou is really bothering you, do you need me to help?"

"No, no, Mrs. Chu, just rest, I'll be busy with those things."

Zhou Bole hehe, after bringing them snacks, he will go to the kitchen.

In the evening, when the hot table of meals was ready, Su Liuye looked out, and there was goose feather snow drifting in the dim sky, and there was a biting chill in the wind.

If I'm not mistaken, I guess there will be a heavy snowfall tomorrow.

"Uncle Zhou, Lord Xiao, didn't they come back?" Qin Lian asked.

Uncle Zhou put the hot soup on the table, and when he heard Qin Lian's question, he sighed and said, "Miss Qin, I don't know, Lord Xiao didn't tell me." This house is just one of Lord Xiao's houses, and he doesn't come here on weekdays, but at the front time, I asked a few people to come over to clean the house, and let Mrs. Chu live there. ”

"What?" Qin Lian exclaimed, "That'...... Didn't Lord Xiao and Brother Chu come back for the New Year? ”

"Miss Qin, I don't know much about this."

Hearing Zhou Bo say this, Qin Lian felt anger in her heart, and just as she was about to have a seizure, she saw Su Liuye's expression gloomy and her eyes lowered, and then she thought that Su Liuye had not seen Chu Yan for so long since she came to the capital, and the most uncomfortable person must be her.

Thinking about it, Qin Lian swallowed the words that were about to be exported, helped Uncle Zhou go to the kitchen to bring the food over, and urged everyone to eat cleanly.

After the meal, Su Liuye took Old Man Lu to study the dishes from the kitchen, which is what they do every day, and they want to study more dishes from pickles, so that they can buy them in the store in the future.

Qin Lian didn't know anything about this, so she didn't go along. Looking at the gradually thickening snow outside, she looked towards the door from time to time, but she never saw Chu Yan and them, and her anger was even stronger in her heart.

She had long known that Chu Yan and Su Liuye were not officially husband and wife, but she didn't expect that seeing that the New Year was over, Chu Yan would not come back, and it was he who brought Su Liuye to the capital, a place where he was unfamiliar with life, but he disappeared.

Is such a man really a good man?

Qin Lian smiled and got angry, and wanted to go out as soon as she put on her clothes.
