For Qingluo, on weekdays, the people who are facing are some people who buy and sell, and they directly snatch themselves when they come up, or they just run to their younger brother and want to snatch the deed.

At that time, he was like an old hen, holding a kitchen knife and sickle in his hand, protecting his younger brother and fighting against those with bad intentions.

But like Zhang Zhongming, who has only heard of it to himself, but has never seen rouge, and is very good to himself on weekdays, and does not ask for anything from himself, Qingluo doesn't know what to do.

If you want to say that Zhang Zhongming doesn't like herself, Qingluo doesn't believe it, but the most important thing is that Qingluo doesn't hate Zhang Zhongming, although she doesn't know Zhang Zhongming's specific identity and status, but judging from his dress, I'm afraid that the status or the conditions in the family will not be bad.

Qingluo shook her head, her voice was like a mosquito, "Brother Zhang, you put it away, I won't accept it." ”

Zhang Zhongming was a little dazed, just like he wanted to beat him, "Qingluo, I just want to give you a New Year's gift, and I don't mean anything else." ”

Qingluo let out a long sigh and nodded heavily, as if she had thought about it, "Brother Zhang, there will be many better women like you than me in the future, so don't waste time with me." ”

After saying that, Qingluo turned around directly and continued to chop vegetables, ignoring Zhang Zhongming.

Zhang Zhongming was stunned in place, and the rouge in his hand fell into his eyes, full of sadness. Qingshan came back at this time, holding two pieces of firewood in his arms and putting them on the ground, and then looked at the two people with a somewhat strange atmosphere, and he didn't know what was going on.

Zhang Zhongming sat back near the stove in a daze, and didn't do anything, just sat there. The green pear blossom with her back to the two of them brought rain, but she didn't make any sound.

A lunch that should have been happy, Zhang Zhongming and Qingluo ate silently, did not speak, Qingshan sat there, the little guy was ghostly, and asked Zhang Zhongming to eat vegetables for a while, and gave Qingluo vegetables, the table was rich in dishes, but in fact, both of them had no appetite.

After lunch, Zhang Zhongming helped the pork and vegetables to marinate the green radish and left.

Qingshan stood at the door, waving his hand at the departing Zhang Zhongming, his eyes full of reluctance. Qingluo did not follow out to see Zhang Zhongming off, but hid in the courtyard and cleaned the dishes she had just used.

Qingshan sent Zhang Zhongming away, came to his sister's side, squatted down, and helped his sister clear the dishes.

"Sister, what's wrong with you and Brother Zhang?"

Qingluo put a plate at her feet, took a rice bowl from the dishes on the side, and put it in the boiling hot water, "It's not much." ”

Qingshan's hands were constantly busy, but he said in his mouth: "No, obviously before I went out to bring firewood, you and Brother Zhang were still talking and laughing, why did you look like this as soon as I went out, did Brother Zhang do something to you." ”

Qingluo slapped Qingshan's little head: "What do you think, your brother Zhang is very good to us." ”

Qingshan sighed, and did not avoid Qingluo's beating, "Although it is very good to us, if Brother Zhang treats you badly, I won't agree." ”

Qingluo's heart warmed, and she said with a smile: "No, no, it's just that your brother Zhang sent a box of rouge, and I refused and didn't accept it." ”

"Ahh ”

Qingshan was instantly stunned in place

, I thought that Zhang Zhongming was bullying his sister, but he didn't expect that it was because of this incident that Brother Zhang and his sister were not harmonious.

But he couldn't figure it out, a box of rouge, just accept it, what's it, Brother Zhang bought a lot of things for them on weekdays, and it wasn't bad for this box of rouge.

"Sister, why don't you take it?"

After Aoyama washed the last rice bowl, he put it in the basin in front of his sister, raised his head, and looked at Qingluo.

Qingluo just shook her head, her expression was a little miserable, and she said softly: "That's different, it's different." ”

Aoyama listened to his sister's tone, and felt very uncomfortable, but he was still young and couldn't understand this kind of thing, so he had to squat there, scratching his ears and cheeks.

Qingluo got up, the dishes had already been washed, and now she had to put these dishes next to the stove, and today's business would be over. The next step is to prepare for the evening, the most important part of the New Year, making dumplings.

Qingshan directly took the dishes in his sister's hand and ran directly into the house, Qingluo smiled slightly when she saw Qingshan's movements. After the New Year, Qingshan was nine years old, and he was one year older, but he was one year older.

At his own age, the daughters of people on this street are getting married early, and some even have children, only he is still in the boudoir.

Over the years, there have been many matchmakers who have come to the door. Qingluo's own appearance is sweet, and she is a famous beauty in these streets, plus such a large yard, although the house is a little broken, but the courtyard is still very large.

So not only the matchmaker, but even those ruffians and hooligans often came to this courtyard before Zhang Zhongming knew him.

But Qingluo didn't think about getting married, but the condition she offered was that the other party came to the door and took care of her brother with her, and she couldn't move her own deed.

In this way, even those men who coveted the beauty of Qingluo were discouraged. But there are still some people who don't give up, under the banner of agreeing to Qingluo's conditions, and want to kiss Fangze, but in the end they are all driven away by Qingluo.

Over time, Qingluo is a well-known fierce woman in this neighborhood, and her reputation has changed from a good girl to a wicked woman, saying that she is the reincarnation of the lonely star, killing her father and mother, and then her younger brother, and finally ending up alone and depressed.

Qingluo doesn't care, one day at a time, raising her younger brother as an adult, this is what she cares about the most. But after Zhang Zhongming appeared, everything changed, and this man who was just good to himself and his younger brother and never asked for anything in return lived deeply in his heart.

In the case of not knowing his family background, Qingluo didn't think about being with him, but thinking about it with his younger brother, there was no money in the family, and there was no dowry for marriage, so he still gave up, as long as Zhang Zhongming didn't mention this matter, then he would pretend to be stupid, and if he could stay with him for a day, he would be happy for a day.

But today is different, Brother Zhang gave himself rouge, that thing is the best thing that a man gave to his favorite woman, used to express affection.

At a certain moment at that time, Qingluo wanted to take the rouge, but the last reason told Qingluo that she must not drag down Brother Zhang, so Qingluo refused.

No one knows how much pain Qingluo's heart hurt at that time.

Qingluo accepted the rouge by herself, and Brother Zhang would fall deeper and deeper, and he and Brother Zhang were destined

People from two worlds imagine two parallel lines, which originally did not have any intersection, but now the two parallel lines coincide.

Brother Zhang wants to be with him, so he is not only facing all aspects of life, but the biggest pressure comes from Brother Zhang's parents.

In this era when marriage is completely the order of parents and the words of matchmaking, the parents' decision on this matter cannot be refuted by anyone.

At that time, Brother Zhang is uncomfortable and painful, it is better for the two of them to nip this idea in the bud now, which is good for everyone.

But why, Qingluo felt so much pain in her heart for writing.

Qingluo stretched out her hand and touched her cheek, how there were water droplets on it, put it in her mouth and taste it, it was a little salty.

It turned out to be tears.

Qingluo smiled bitterly, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, looked at the direction of the gate, and didn't know if she could see a familiar figure in the future, knocking lightly on the door, standing outside the door, waiting for the man who opened the door for him.

"You must be better off than me, you must. ”

Qingluo said softly.

Slowly getting up, Qingluo sighed, stabilized her mood, entered the house and began to prepare to make dumplings at night, Brother Zhang bought a lot of pork and vegetables, as well as white noodles, it seems that this year can have a good New Year.

Why do you think of Brother Zhang again, it's really bad.

Qingluo laughed at herself, "Fool." ”

Chang'an City, Yang Mansion.

In order to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, Yang Zhao took over the family members who were in Tingzhou's arms early. may have been very early on, the Manchu Dynasty thought that Yang Zhao had no family, and many people had used matchmakers and others to test Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao ignored these people, and directly took his family members from Huailai, blocking the mouths of those people, and making those matchmakers dare not enter the Yang Mansion again.

Yang Zhao said a few words to his wife about the major events that happened in the imperial city before, because in the morning, he and his wife had to enter the palace to visit his sister and Emperor Ming, which was etiquette and a means for the Yang family to maintain family affection.

After a few simple instructions, Yang Zhao took his wife and seven-year-old daughter into the palace.

The concubine likes her sister-in-law very much, and of course she loves the little girl who keeps calling her aunt.

It is a pity that Yang Zhao did not see the emperor, and after hearing about the poisoning incident, the emperor stayed outside the Cining Palace and saw no one.

After seeing the concubine Niangniang, Yang Zhao did not stay for a moment and returned directly to the house, and at the same time ordered to go down, the Yang Mansion closed the door and did not accept guests recently, so the housekeeper had to do it.

Recently, there are a lot of people who come to send worship posts, there are many in the prince's mansion, and there are a lot of King Zhao and the acting king, almost every other hour, it is to send a letter, and at the same time send a lot of silver, and the housekeeper who sees it is also greedy, but the housekeeper did not take any of them, but smiled at the porter in front of him, and said: "Send them back, the lord said that he has not seen anyone recently, and you have also paid attention to some influences recently." ”

The concierge laughed and nodded yes.

The housekeeper looked at the appearance of the porter, sneered in his heart, and at the same time a cold glint flashed in his eyes, knowing that this person should have received a lot of silver, or it would be impossible for him to come to him many times for the people outside the door to intercede.
