There is harmony in the dormitory.

It would be wrong to say that more than a dozen apprentices were full of hearts and minds to learn this carving craft. It's just that if you have food and lodging worries, you can get where to go, and you can have a hope, so that you can be stable.

Several apprentices are mostly in groups of three or two, laughing and farting, mostly according to age.

Azu nibbled on steamed buns and just listened to them chatting.

If you talk to them, you can't actually talk about them. Of the more than a dozen apprentices, Azu was the youngest. If I remember correctly, he will only be nine years old this year, and the youngest of the other apprentices is only thirteen years old, and they are all in the time of their youth, but they talk about strange topics.

For example, what kind of person do you want to be in the future, how much silver taels you want to earn in the future, and so on, sometimes they will also point at the women on the street, saying which one has a good face, which one has a big butt and so on, all of which are incomprehensible, but Azu doesn't care.

He loved the anecdotes. These brothers and sisters always have strange channels to get some so-called gossip. What Jiangning has produced a peerless master, with one enemy and a hundred, killing bandits and fleeing in the wilderness; what three years later, there will be a conference in the eastern suburbs, and the emperor and the princes will hunt deer in the immortal mountains. In fact, the news may not be accurate, but it is very interesting to listen to, like the storyteller of a teahouse.

"Do you know? There is a big demon in Kyoto, who specializes in digging people's hearts and eating, and the emperor has sent a master of the Quandong Factory to catch it......

"Don't lie to anyone, there are no goblins in this world. ”

"Really, really, I heard that the sons-in-law of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials have been gouged out!"

Azu took another sip of soup, but listened to this new "storytelling".

Fairy capital?

After the capital was moved, Yingtian only stayed in the capital, and Kyoto was Suntenfu.

I heard that the Shuntian Mansion was heavily guarded, and the twelve Praetorian Guards were strictly guarded. There are really goblins, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the capital.

As a Beijing official, my father entered the military and political affairs and was placed in the capital. You are not allowed to go out, and you are not allowed to communicate with outsiders, so you should be fine......

Thinking in his heart, Azu just relaxed his mind and stopped listening to it.

It's been three years since I came to this Karakuri Workshop. Yihou had four days to practice carving, and at first it was just hard, but now some practice makes perfect. Boss Tong is also much more polite to himself, and he seems to be a little content with the status quo.

But Azu actually knew that one day, he would have to leave and go to Shuntian. Even if you can't see your father, you have to go after all.

Chewing on food, but not having the heart to taste it......

......

The second day was actually merry.

Although Boss Tong is serious, he is actually very knowledgeable and has some consciousness of combining work and rest. Although there is no pay, the last day of each day is actually an uncertain task, so you can go out for a walk.

On this day, most of the apprentices wandered idly in the streets and alleys of Liuhe in groups of three or five, and sometimes they would look for some temporary livelihood, and it was good to earn a few pennies.

Azu actually wanted to go out and find a job. It's just that there are not many businesses in Liuhe, and all the teahouses and hotels are Dumiao, and there is no shortage of manpower at all. If you go to find hard work, you see that he is an eight or nine-year-old child, and he is not willing to accept it.

It's been three years, but in fact, Azu has only saved 20 yuan, and even if he goes out to beg every day, he will earn more than this.

Twenty yuan, even whether you can go to Shangyuan is a problem.

Azu sighed, just in a daze at the door of the Karakuri shop, coming out to breathe, it is better than being stuffy in the house all day.

"Azu, aren't you going out?"

But it was a hand on his shoulder. Looking at the hand, it looked fat, like a pig's trotter, and Azu didn't even need to look up to know who it was.

Patting him on the shoulder was the young owner of Liuhe Wang Ji Tofu Workshop, named Wang Dong. In fact, he is not very old, only eleven years old, but he is a well-known gentleman.

said that he was a gentleman, but he never bullied men and women, in fact, in the whole Liuhe, there are not too many things to bully men and women, probably because of the simple feeling of folk customs. Wang Dong just doesn't do his job, relying on his father's tofu factory business, he has that capital to have fun every day. It's just that once he was caught back by his father on the street, saying that he hadn't gone home for a few days, but he went to Lishui County next door to visit the Qinglou alone, which made the whole Liuhe known to everyone, and he was put into the name of a gentleman.

Wang Dong is actually kind to people, but he is a self-acquaintance, and it is often rumored that he is helping the poor and doing chivalrous deeds. The people of Liuhe said that he was a gentleman, and they didn't mean to look down on him. Since Wang Dong was arrested in the Qinglou, he has naturally behaved a lot, probably to show his father. It's just that I bring a few entourages every day, wandering the streets, chatting and idleness when I meet people.

Azu didn't take the initiative to recognize Wang Dong. It's just that one day when I went out for a walk, I was sighing thinking about things, so I watched this fat man sigh and come up together.

Azu didn't want to pay attention to him, but this fat man didn't look like a vice-president, he just hooked his shoulders when he came up. And then there was no sentence, but they knew each other.

knew Azu's name, but he blurted out that he called Azu, but he was stunned, but there were some familiar titles. It seems that he has a friend in a trance, but it's not very real.

Wang Dong just shouted Azu Azu, and Azu also fought back against the fat man of the land king and shouted the fat man of the land. Wang Dong was not angry, but the fat on his face squeezed his eyes into two slits.

"What to do when you go out and have no money......"

Azu just said a little boredly.

Wang Dong blinked his eyes, but said, "You want money?"

"yes, I want money. Azu rolled his eyes.

"It's easy to ask for money, how about you call me Brother Sheng, and I'll give you a tael of silver?" Wang Dong just laughed, and his two squints were gone.

"Don't brag, Fat Wang. Azu glanced at him, but laughed. "How can you have so much money?"

Wang Fatzi was seen through, but he just cried and lost his face: "You can see it, my father won't give me money now." ”

That's natural, they've all gone out to visit the Qinglou, and if you give you money, won't you want to turn the sky upside down? What do you think you're doing with these attendants?

Azu just muttered in his heart, and the fat man looked uneasy and kind, and approached.

"If you really want money, it's simple—"

Azu was surprised, could it be that this fat man really has a doorway?

But seeing that he waved his hand to let a few of his attendants avoid it, but it was attached to Azu's ear: "You can get Boss Tong's family business over......"

Azu sighed, and the clouds were foggy: "What do you mean, as long as I study hard, I can naturally inherit the mantle of Boss Tong." ”

“...... Are you stupid......" Wang Fatzi just showed a look of speechlessness. "I'm talking about you taking Boss Tong's granddaughter ......"

"Did it?" Azu was even more ignorant.

The fat fat on the fat man's face trembled: "Marry her, marry her." ”

Azu was stunned, but just laughed: "Sister Shishi is nineteen years old, and she is about to get married." I'm only nine years old, what are you thinking?"

"Female junior, hugging gold bricks. Wang Fatzi shook his head, "She is ten years older than you, you have no money to hug Jinshan, and you are worried about having no money?"

Azu felt that the fat man was probably dizzy and ignored him.

Wang Fatzi didn't feel bored, but felt that he was very insightful, but he was still persuading: "Look at other people's poetry and sisters, they are talented and beautiful......"

After talking, he just looked at a beautiful figure again, and changed the topic: "You just don't look down on Sister Shishi, even the young lady over there is also a good ......"

Azu just rolled his eyes, how could he ever say that he couldn't look down on Sister Shishi. Patiently, I followed the eyes of the fat man, but I saw a girl carved in pink.

In the eyes of Azuna, who was far beyond ordinary eyes, he was indeed a man of pink carving. The girl is about twelve or thirteen years old, and she doesn't have powder on her face, but she is plain and white. With a small nose and pink lips, the most noticeable thing is her clear eyes, which are a little intoxicating. The golden phoenix tail headdress was simply pinned on his head, but he was wearing a pink silk dress, which should be a rich and noble family.

Just in comparison, it is a few points more beautiful than Sister Shishi.

"How's that, pretty, isn't it?" the fat man just smiled.

Azu glanced at him, not knowing what he was proud of.

The woman's appearance is excellent, but what makes people stop even more is that she is followed by several big men, all of whom have a murderous look on their faces, and they all carry a big package on their bodies, but they don't look like some simple characters.

There are about hundreds of households on Liuhezheng Street, in fact, most of Azu recognize faces, just looking at these people, but they don't look like locals. Looking at that look, I'm afraid something is going to happen.

Azu just stared, but his eyes flashed, and sure enough, something happened.

"Pretty is pretty, it's just some bad luck......"

"What, what bad luck...... "Fat Wang didn't understand, he was just stunned.

The gold belt tag around her waist was stolen by the man in gray who had just walked by. ”

Azu's eyes could see clearly that the woman was leading the way in front, and the few big men behind were also meticulous. It's just that a few people walked slowly, followed by an oncoming man in gray clothes and missed. The man was inconspicuous, but his hand shook clearly, as if he had given birth to a flower, and as if he had done a trick, he took the waist card around the woman's waist and hid it in his sleeve.

Everything seems to be seamless, but Azu just gave birth to this pair of eyes, that is, he saw it.

Wang Fatzi was stunned when he heard this: "Really?"

Azu nodded, but he didn't want the fat man to jump up like a messenger of justice.

"Bold thief, stop me!"

Wang Fatzi just looked like a stunned man, and his voice shouted loudly, and everyone heard it all over the street. Everyone and the woman stopped, but they didn't know what the gentleman was going to do.

Wang Fatzi was stared at by so many eyes, but he didn't realize it, but he was full of energy. A fat hand grabbed the gray-clothed man and shouted, "Thief, don't move!"

The man in gray was just a little shocked, glanced at the fat man, and pretended to be calm: "Little brother, did you recognize the wrong person?"

Wang Fatzi's nostrils were facing the sky, but he looked arrogant, and said loudly: "Did you steal the waist card of the girl in front of you?"

When the girl heard this, she was also suddenly shocked, but she just touched her waist, but the waist card was gone.

The people on the street stared, and the man in gray just pretended to be innocent, not wanting to show his feet, but just smiled: "Little brother, I'm afraid I'm wrong." ”
