The three people who had their own hearts went back to Jindu Building together, and when Yuegui saw them coming back, she came up and told them about Xingniang's current placement.

"We set up a small courtyard in Liushu Hutong, placed them there, called a carpenter, made them a wheelchair that could be pushed, and hired three servant women to help Xingniang take care of them.

I checked, and although the women's eyes, feet, and voices could not be restored, I was sure that their hands would be healed, so that their lives would be somewhat better. ”

"Well, I'm going to bother you to take care of them more during this time, and if you need anything, you can just talk to Mu Baiti. Mu Bai, you come out of the store for five hundred taels of silver, Yuegui, you bring it next time, if they run out, let Xingniang come to the store again to get it. ”

After arranging these things, several people went back to their rooms to rest, and this night, except for Yuegui, they were all people who had something on their minds.

Chu Tao meditated on the collapse, thinking about what he saw with Kuang Yi that day, and he didn't know where they came from and what happened?

Kuang Yi thought about the clues he got today, sat at the table, spread out the blank paper, and didn't know what was being written.

Mu Bai, on the other hand, practiced swordsmanship in the courtyard for most of the night.

This night, the three of them had insomnia together very tacitly.

On the second day, Kuang Yi gathered everyone in the building, "I have some business, I will leave the store with Mu Bai for a period of time in seven days, and during this time, Xiao Liuzi and Xiao Hei are responsible for taking care of the store." Hatsu Tao, when are you returning to Yuanshan?"

"In five days, I should go back too," said the silence of the three men.

"Laurel, stay here if you want, or leave if you want. ”

"Is the sun coming out in the west today? The shopkeeper actually took the initiative to let me go? Okay, when I have dealt with the things on the other side of the willow alley, I will go back by myself, it is rare, it is rare, and finally I don't have to live a hard life here. ”

Yue Gui laughed dryly, but it didn't break the solemn atmosphere.

"I don't really want to keep you, I don't have a cook in this building? ”

Kuang Yi glanced at Mu Bai, "Forget it, it's okay if you don't know." But last time we agreed to make a number.

There are two days left before Chinese New Year's Eve, and this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet will be arranged by you, and Chu Tao can only help. Let's check your results together, and if you do it well, the past will be written off. ”

Because of the imminent parting, Chu Tao has been busy these days, while stepping up the teaching of Yuegui.

The two of them were busy until midnight, and Yuegui finally got the hang of it, although it couldn't be called delicious, but the ordinary dishes were already well done.

On the other hand, learning painting from Kuang Yi has also entered the final stage.

In the past two days, Kwong Yi and her have many questions about artistic conception, layout, and composition, and Chu Tao's pen has made a lot of progress compared to when she first came, but she has always been a little worse off in this painting, and it still lacks some appeal.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, because there were lantern quizzes and lion dance parades in the town at night, everyone decided to have dinner an hour earlier than usual, and then go to the street together.

Chu Tao bought all the ingredients together with Yue Gui yesterday, and the kitchen helpers have been put back for the New Year, so Chu Tao will start for Yue Gui.

Fortunately, there are only six people left in the building now, and there is no need to cook so many dishes, which can be handled by Yuegui.

Here, Chu Tao was chopping vegetables on the side of the board, and Mu Bai sent water in. I don't know if it's Chu Tao's illusion, Mu Bai came to the kitchen very diligently today, and his eyes always revolved around the laurel.

Looking at the laurel side again, the hair was meticulously tied up with a cloth towel, which was a little more quiet than the bright and moving on weekdays.

At this time, beads of sweat were oozing from the tip of his nose, his cheeks were slightly red, and his serious side face looked like a circle of virtuous light, like someone's wife who washed her hands and made soup.

Chu Tao looked at it for a moment, this is a completely different laurel from weekdays, no wonder Brother Mubai doesn't want to look away.

With the help of Chu Tao, Yuegui managed a table of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here, and the two cooked the dumplings they made last night. The stuffing is made of shiitake mushroom beef, the shiitake mushrooms are chopped into minced meat, and the beef is mixed with eggs and sesame oil, all of which are small and round.

Then I took a small stove and simmered a mutton pot, added yellow lantern chili peppers to make a sour soup, and put it on the table steaming hot.

Although there are no particularly rare dishes at this table, it is better than simple and warm.

Kuang Yi also brought a few cans of wine over at this time, "Today is a good day, and I will teach you to taste this plum blossom rice wine I brewed." I had to pick some white plums from the yard, spread them out and dry them overnight, and soaked them in sugar for three days.

I took advantage of a few snowfalls, saved some snow water, added rice wine made from early peaches, and buried it under the tree to get these jars. ”

Kuang Yi said, opened the wine seal, and the cold fragrance of plum blossoms overflowed the whole room in an instant.

The warm white smoke on the dinner table came out, lined with the red lanterns that Xiao Liuzi hung during the day, and this New Year's celebration warmed everyone from head to toe.

A few people sat around the table and ate a lot of good wine and food. Yuegui's performance in the kitchen today is really impressive, and even Kwong Yat praised it well.

Xiao Liuzi coaxed everyone to make a drinking order, and between pushing the glass and changing the lamp, there was a lot of fun.

After the meal, it was already dusk, and after a few people cleaned up a little, they went to the street together.

Today's Chinese New Year's Eve coincided with the tenth birthday of the emperor's beloved princess, so he ordered the whole country to rejoice, and the streets were much more lively than in previous years.

I saw that the lanterns hanging on the side of the road were all replaced with red silk, and there were many more delicate lanterns hung than usual, and they were strung along the street, forming a colorful world of their own.

On the high platform that was erected, the lanterns were hung all the way, like a tree full of flowers, and the place where the lights intersected, fascinated people's eyes for a while.

Looking at the crowds on the street, the women who don't go out on weekdays are all dressed up solemnly and go out. Wearing a flower hairpin, applying incense powder, wearing Luo Qi, wearing pearls and jade on the waist, the straight teacher does not know whether to appreciate the lantern or to appreciate the person.

The first peach and the laurel are also carefully dressed up today.

Yue Gui wore her hair in a high bun, wore a white jade crown, and wore a jujube red beard with white trim, and tied it around her waist with a lighter red ribbon.

She is tall and heroic, like a vibrant little tree in this winter, and has a handsome appearance suitable for men and women.

The first peach picked a few fresh red plums in the courtyard, and the petals were carefully attached to the center of the eyebrows, making a plum makeup.

Xu was because of the strip, she lost some weight, her cheeks flattened, and she hooked her eyebrows again, suppressing the childishness in her round eyes.

Then I painted butterfly lip makeup with Xiao Hongchun, and changed the slightly rounded corners of my mouth on weekdays. The whole person is a little more cold and noble, which is very suitable for this plum makeup.

"When sitting, the clothes are lingering with the grass, and the skirt is swept away", and there are also those who borrow lamps to appreciate people, such as Kuang Yi, who is looking at the first peach holding hands with the laurel in front of him, and happens to pass by a few plum trees.

Today, she wore a vine-purple short-sleeved skirt with a peach-colored breast-length skirt that reached the ground, tied it with a daylily-colored silk ribbon, and took up the plum petals that fell on the ground with her steps.

Night has come, and tonight is a clear night without a single cloud.

The moonlight is like water, softly covering the halo of the lamp, which makes people's hearts can't help but be gentle.

So this sentence came out of Kuang Yi's mouth, and the image of this beautiful son caused a few passing girls to look back, embroidered a handkerchief and half-covered, and secretly sent a few autumn waves.

Kuang Yi didn't pay attention to this, only stepped forward and called Chu Tao, "I'll take you somewhere", after Chu Tao approached, he looked at Mu Bai behind him again, and whispered to her: "Leave some opportunities for people." ”
