When it snows lightly, it is the most rare beauty of Tianjie.

The merchants on both sides of the road lit their stoves in their huts, and even when they looked at it from the outside, they felt warm in their hearts.

There is an unwritten rule in Tianjie, every winter solstice, every family makes dumplings with vegetarian three fresh fillings. When night falls, when you hear the sound of the bell, you will put the dumplings into the pot, and wait for two or three pillars of incense, it is a delicious meal.

It is said that this has been formed since the establishment of Tianjie, and although it has only been 30 years, it may be able to last for hundreds of years.

As for the bell, everyone has different opinions.

It is said that it is created by the special topography of this place, and the people who built the heavenly street in order to be auspicious, so they naturally have the saying that they make dumplings on the winter solstice.

Some people also say that where there is so mysterious, that is, the person likes to eat dumplings, and it is just in time for the winter solstice, and there is nothing more heart-warming than a steaming dumpling.

The latter are naturally people who understand, because at that time, they were the right-hand men of the current head of the Wang family, who helped establish the entire Heavenly Street, and they still stay here today. Even if the first eventful years have been diluted by the passage of time, but when you pick up the bowl of dumplings, the past battles and happy enmity seem to resurface.

It's just that I'm getting older and older, and I don't have enough strength to do it. Anyway, it's not too much to worry about, and when you wake up, life has to go on.

There is a big bell in a hidden attic in Tianjie, and the head of the Wang family is standing next to the big bell at this time, and beside him is the Yuqing of the Qinglou in Tianjie.

The head of the Wang family closed his eyes and recuperated, silently calculating the time in his heart. He has been doing it for thirty years. Even if the affairs are complicated on the day of the winter solstice, he will come here to eat dumplings after ringing the bell.

Yuqing once laughed and said that the head of the Wang family is a hard worker, and he can't be idle if he wants to be busy. Although sitting in a position with infinite scenery in the eyes of others, it is actually the most unsatisfactory.

Whenever he heard this ridicule, the head of the Wang family would only nod and say, "Isn't it?" and then turned around and left Tianjie and headed south to return to the Wang family.

But today is different, when the head of the Wang family came here, he told Yuqing to prepare a room for him and live for a few more days. The recent things have all been squeezed together, and he has almost traveled all over Dayan. It's finally over, and I have to reward myself with a period of rest.

Yuqing was naturally very happy about this, she narrowed her long eyes and said with a smile: "Where is the need to prepare another room? If you Wang Lung don't dislike it, just live with me." ”

The head of the Wang family pondered for a long time, but still refused: "I really don't need it." ”

The relationship between the two seems to be intimate, and Zhuge Chen once joked that they are a pair of "adulterers and adulteresses" made in heaven, but they are actually very complicated. To sum it up, it's a sentence, and it's messy to cut and untidy.

It's just that these old things don't talk about it, the head of the Wang family is with

Even if Zhuge Chen has a heart-to-heart again, he is still inferior after all.

So Zhuge Chen has no way of knowing.

In this regard, Yuqing only sighed and said, "Whatever you want." ”

In the early morning of this day, the two walked up the wooden ladder in the attic one after the other, and Yuqing handed over the wooden pestle that rang the bell, as if the two had the same mind on this matter.

When night fell, and the last rays of light at dusk were about to be swallowed up by the night, the head of the Wang family waved the bell and struck it on the bell.

The deafening bell rang throughout the sky street in an instant, and the excited cries of children could be faintly heard.

Eat dumplings!

At this moment, Yuqing slowly opened the burden that she had been carrying in her hand, took out a bowl of dumplings from it, handed it to the head of the Wang family and whispered, "Wang Long, give you dumplings and eat them while they are hot." ”

The head of the Wang family stretched out his hand to take it and began to chew it slowly. He looked into the distance, and the snow-stained mountains and treetops were beautiful. It is no wonder that those literati and writers once said that the scenery of the northern country is unique to that side, even if the northern part of the Great Shang and the southern part of the Great Yan are only separated by a mountain, but the winter scenery is still very different.

Today's head of the Wang family thinks so.

I didn't find anything strange in my ordinary life here, but I can calm down and take a closer look, which is really interesting.

Yuqing looked at the side face of the head of the Wang family, which was not brilliant, but still made many women sink, and asked, "What do you think? ”

The head of the Wang family shook his head and said, "It's nothing. ”

"You can pull it down, we've known each other for so many years, and I know you more than I know myself. Yuqing pouted and said, "When you hide things in your heart, the corners of your mouth will rise slightly, and your eyes will be dull, what I said is right?"

The head of the Wang family said with a smile: "I'm afraid of you." ”

Yuqing asked reluctantly: "Then you can tell me what can stump our Wang family master, although I can't help much, but it's enough to make suggestions." ”

The head of the Wang family said suspiciously: "That...... I'll tell you about it?"

Yuqing nodded.

"Do you still have an impression of the extremely handsome white-clothed young man who came to Heavenly Street with me about half a year ago?" asked the head of the Wang family.

Yuqing saw that there were not many dumplings left in the bowl of the head of the Wang family, so she naturally took a few of the dumplings in her bowl and sent them over: "Naturally, I remember that he almost turned the entire heavenly street upside down, and even the previous street owner died in his hands." ”

The head of the Wang family frowned and said, "Can you not always be like this?"

"Absolutely. Yuqing put down the dishes and chopsticks, and after cleaning up, she took back the baggage: "What kind of mess did he make this time?"

"He killed one of the princes of Yunmeng. The head of the Wang family said: "When I included him in the list of the Wang Family's Ten Thousand Clans, I thought that he would definitely cause trouble for me, from the Imperial City to the Heavenly Street to the Wang family, he did not disappoint me at all. But at his age

There's nothing wrong with being young and vigorous, and I really like him. When he treats him, he is not like an elder to a junior, but more like a friend of the same generation. I thought that going to the Wan Clan would save me some snacks, after all, there are many geniuses there, and there are not a few who can cure him?"

The head of the Wang family cleared his throat and continued: "But who would have thought that even business studies would be crushed by him!"

Yuqing asked incredulously, "Really?!"

The head of the Wang family snorted coldly: "Then can there be a fake?"

"But after all, it was a prince, he said that he would kill it, didn't he put the sword on the face of the entire Yunmeng royal family? The most important thing is that he didn't say a word, and cut it down directly. The more the head of the Wang family spoke, the more angry he became, only to feel dizzy for a while, and quickly found a chair to sit down.

Yuqing thought for a moment and asked, "Then what did you decide to do?"

The head of the Wang family suddenly put away his sad appearance and smiled hippiely: "Since I told you, I want you to give some advice." ”

Yuqing glanced at the head of the Wang family, but still continued: "It depends on whether the young man in white is a dispensable chess piece in your heart, or a young man with high hopes. If it's the former, it's best to throw it away at will, even if you inevitably feel sympathy in your heart, how many days can you feel guilty? But if it's the latter, then it's better for you to think about it yourself, I won't wade into this troubled water. ”

The head of the Wang family didn't react for a while, and it took a long time before he spoke: "What do you mean...... The point is on me?"

"But isn't it!" Yuqing said angrily: "If it's not you, is it still me?"

Then she closed her mouth, because looking at the appearance of the head of the Wang family, she should be thinking about it.

After almost a pillar of incense, the head of the Wang family stood up from his chair and said, "It's just a cloud dream, and you still want to move the person I want to protect?"

When he said this, he was domineering.

But Yuqing had to pour cold water: "That's Yunmeng, one of the four major dynasties, do you really want to be the enemy?"

The head of the Wang family turned around and said as he walked down the wooden ladder: "I, a cultivator of the realm of the Highest Dao, if I am still afraid of worldly forces, will I not become a laughing stock of others?"

Only then did Yuqing remember that the man in front of him, who seemed to have nothing to do with the word tune, was already standing in the realm of Zhendao, and he could be regarded as the pinnacle of combat power in this world.
