Time flies very quickly, and it is Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the new year, when the brilliant fireworks are lit up in the sky over Cheng'an City, you can hear the cheers of the whole city, which is deafening.

From the moment the fireworks go off, the New Year has arrived.

At this time, the entire Nanyang palace was brightly lit, whether it was maids, handymen, stewards, guards and nobles, all stood in the lobby and looked at the fireworks in the distance, and the brilliant firelight reflected everyone's faces extraordinarily gorgeously.

At this time, Su Shuang and Su Su were running recklessly in the front hall with fireworks, with an incomparably bright smile on their faces, and several maids ran behind the two of them panting a little, "County Lord, Miss, run slowly, the ground is slippery, be careful of falling!"

"It's okay, it's okay, you don't care!" Su Shuang chuckled.

Su Su was playing a little crazy behind Su Shuang, she had already slept in a daze at this time, but at this time, maybe it was Cheng An's brilliant fireworks that inspired her spirit, and the whole person was radiant, where was there a trace of drowsiness?

In a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Lili standing in front of the hall and was sleepy, so he shouted loudly: "Jiang Gou, come quickly! Don't you play with fireworks?"

After being overjoyed, Su Su called out Jiang Lili's nickname for a while, Jiang Lili was a little angry, "Stupid girl, who are you calling?"

Qin Shuzhen covered her mouth and smiled.

Su Yonglie looked at Su Su's girl with some curiosity, and asked in a low voice, "Why haven't I seen that girl?"

Qin Shuzhen turned her face slightly and replied, "You don't want to mess with that girl, Lili will look at her very tightly." Last time, because she sent a fire, you don't know. Although Lili didn't say it, I always felt that girl was going to be a lady's material in the future. ”

Su Yonglie was slightly surprised, "Really, then I have to please her?"

"Don't be poor here, the people are here!" Qin Shuzhen glanced at her, "What kind of system is there without the majesty of some princes?"

Su Yonglie chuckled and said, "This is the New Year, festive, what are you afraid of?" Besides, they are all patronizing to watch the fireworks, where can they take care of the two of us whispering?"

"Less poverty!"

As she was talking, Sima Lan came over with a few cups of tea and bowed slightly, "Lord Wang, sister, eat a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”

"You too, it's good to leave this kind of work to your subordinates, and you still need to do it yourself?" Qin Shuzhen complained, picked up a cup of tea from the jasper bead plate and handed it to Su Yonglie.

Sima Lan smiled: "Seeing that their spirits are very good, I didn't disturb their interest anymore." Besides, today's New Year, I can also look like our family is more harmonious, right?"

Su Yonglie smiled, "Concubine Ai has a heart." ”

Sima Lan smiled slightly.

After Qin Shuzhen took the tea, Sima Lan leaned down slightly and asked Jiang Lili: "Lili, do you want to eat tea?"

"No!

Qin Shuzhen was about to scold, but Sima Lan hurriedly said: "It's nothing, anyway, during the New Year, you can't beat and scold the child." ”

Su Yonglie naturally didn't pay attention to such things, and said with tea: "I'll go see our father first!"

The words "our father" Su Yonglie bit a little hard.

A smile appeared on Qin Shuzhen's face, "Less of the prince's shelf." ”

"Can I still not know this?" Su Yonglie walked a few steps and suddenly turned his head to Jiang Lili and said, "You don't want to see your grandfather?"

"No, no, no!" Jiang Lili waved his hand impatiently.

Su Yonglie didn't ask anymore and walked straight away.

Qin Shuzhen said with a smile: "You don't go to set off fireworks with Su Su and them, and you don't go to see your grandfather, I don't feel very interested in the fireworks when I see you like this, why don't you eat something first?"

"No, I don't. “

"And what do you want to do?"

Jiang Lili raised his head and looked at Qin Shuzhen, stretched out his hand and said angrily: "Isn't it the New Year's money to be given for the New Year? I have been waiting for you here for a long time and there is no shadow of the New Year's money, what about my New Year's money?"

Qin Shuzhen smiled dumbly: "You kid usually don't understand anything, why do you know this custom very well?"

Sima Lan also smiled on the side: "If you want to pay for the New Year, you have to kowtow, how can you give you the New Year's money if you don't kowtow?"

Jiang Lili frowned after hearing this, "Is there such a thing?" Turning his head and glancing at Steward Yuan's face, he thought for a long time after knowing that this matter was true, thinking about whether it was worth it to kowtow twice for a few New Year's money?

Fearing that this matter would cause Jiang Lili to rebel, Qin Shuzhen hurriedly said: "The New Year's money must be placed under the pillow, otherwise how can the New Year's money be pressed?" ”

"Earlier, why I've been waiting here for so long!" Jiang Lili snorted, "Yes, I'm leaving, I'm very sleepy!"

Qin Shuzhen nodded with a smile, and suddenly said, "By the way, what about that kid Jin'er? In previous years, he was the most out of the way, why didn't he see a shadow at this time?"

After hearing this, Sima Lan turned around and glanced around, and was also a little puzzled, and then smiled: "Jin'er, that kid is a little afraid of his father, maybe he is hiding at this time." ”

"Really, what are you afraid of his father doing? Can you still eat him? Qin Shuzhen said: "It's also to blame the prince, if he wasn't usually too strict with Jin'er, would Jin'er be so afraid of him? ”

"It is true that there is a filial son under the stick, and it is better to be harsh, so as not to be arrogant. Sima Lan said: "Besides, the female baby likes her father, and the male baby is afraid of her father, it's all this reason." “

"But it's not good for father and son to have estrangement. ”

"Jin'er is still young, at this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to understand the good intentions of the prince, and when I am older, I will naturally be sensible. ”

Qin Shuzhen nodded, and then stopped persuading.

At this time, Jiang Lili was about to walk out when she suddenly turned around and shouted, "Girl, are you crazy, don't you go back to sleep?"

"Oh, no, no, you can go back to sleep!" Su Su shouted madly.

"Cheng, don't remember the road monster when the time comes, I didn't remind you!"

"Jiang Lili, when did you become so verbose, besides, I have a maid, even if I don't know the way, can she not know the way?"

Jiang Lili snorted, "Don't be lost in the mansion by then." “

A maid walked over quickly, "Your Highness, rest assured, the slave will not be so reckless." ”

"It's best to get lost. ”

After throwing off such a sentence, Jiang Lili turned around and left.

After leaving the front hall, there was no such lively atmosphere, except for the lights and fireworks that were still rumbling in the air, it turned out to be a little deserted. The noise in the hall behind him became farther and farther away, as if it was divided into two worlds from the seclusion here, and this feeling of desertion became even more obvious.

It didn't take long to see a black figure in the corner of the wall in front of me, holding a candle in his hand, and a person didn't know what he was muttering.

Jiang Lili was stunned, and after seeing the person clearly, he sneered: "No wonder Fang Cai has always felt that my eyes are very clean, I didn't expect it to be because you hid it, no wonder." ”

At the end, Jiang Lili said again: "But you have to hide it better, this time I can see the anger in my heart." ”

That person was Su Jin.

Hearing this, Su Jin raised his head, his face full of hatred, "What are you doing here?"

"I don't care about you, I won't care about you if I die!" Jiang Lili sneered, turned around and left.

After walking for two steps, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, Jiang Lili said to find death, then turned around and kicked out directly.

Su Jin couldn't dodge, and was immediately kicked in the chest, and with a muffled snort, his figure took two steps back, and one fell to the ground without standing firmly.

After a long while, holding his chest and struggling to get up, Su Jin looked at Jiang Lili's color full of resentment.

Jiang Lili sneered and said: "I heard that you have also practiced martial arts, why don't you even have the slightest ability?" I think that if you try your best, you are only afraid that you will not be able to defeat Su Su! It stands to reason that the King of Nanyang should be your father, but your copy of the matter is worrying!" Suddenly, Jiang Lili looked at Su Jin inexplicably, and teased: "I guess if you are not the seed of the King of Nanyang, but the wild seed of Sima Lan!"

After hearing this, Su Jin's face immediately turned dark, "You fart!"

After saying that, Su Jin rushed towards Jiang Lili with his fist, but his footsteps were unsteady and fell directly under Jiang Lili's feet.

I didn't see Su Jin make any movement for a long time, so he fell to the ground in a daze, but suddenly there was a low sobbing sound.

Jiang Lili's face was disdainful, and he said a bad word.

——————

Su Jin has practiced martial arts, there is no doubt about this. Originally, as the only heir of the King of Nanyang, who was famous for his martial arts, he couldn't say anything if he didn't practice martial arts, and maybe he would even provoke ridicule and slander from others.

But just as the monarchs thought in their hearts, and the fact is that it is so bloody, Su Jin's qualifications for martial arts are particularly inferior, so inferior that there is no room for more. Even if he used various medicinal materials to comb his meridians, he couldn't complete the first step of an ordinary martial artist, washing his body and refining the marrow.

Not only is he practicing martial arts, but even if he is refining qi, he doesn't have any talent, even if he sits for ten days, he can't find any sense of qi at all until he faints from hunger.

He worked very hard, as the son of the king of Nanyang, he had to work hard, he asked himself that he was really working hard, and he didn't feel guilty at all. But this is the case, and no one can change it.

Su Jin, just like his name, was born with brocade clothes and satin, and was born with the glory and wealth that most people don't even dare to dream of. But the more noble his identity is, the more inferior he feels in his heart, and the more an invisible pressure overwhelms him.

He didn't dare to go outside to play with Su Shuang, the general's child outside had already reached the realm of the third mountain by now, and he was still an ordinary man.

Although no one has ever said that he is an ordinary man, every time he walks on the streets of Cheng'an, as long as someone recognizes him and greets him, he feels that this greeting is an invisible mockery. The invisible sharp knife was fiercely inserted into his heart, and the invisible hand was already pinching his invisible life under the heavy armor of his brocade clothes, wealth, power and prestige.

So he didn't dare to walk on the streets of Cheng'an, didn't dare to play with children of the same age, didn't dare to face Sima Lan's disappointed eyes, and didn't dare to see his father, his father, and the king of Nanyang.

Reading, learning calligraphy, playing the piano, and painting, he can only embark on this road in disguise, in order to tell others that he is not worthless, nor is he a wine bag and rice bag.

But he thought in his heart that he should learn martial arts, and he thought in his heart that his future should be like his father, galloping across the field, and making a name for himself with the blood of his enemies!

And the more efforts he made, the more discouraged he became, and at this time, he met a teenager who looked even a year younger than him, fighting with the qi refiners of the seventh floor on the Danyang Tower in Luoyang City, and his mother's various looks, all kinds of actions, and all kinds of words told him that that person was his brother, his own brother, and another son of his father.

Looking at the young man's high-spirited appearance on the Danyang Tower in the south of Luoyang City, he really felt that he was worthless at this time. It's the kind of rotten shit that no one pays attention to on the side of the road, and when you see it, you look disgusted!

This is what he says about himself.

So he began to look down on Jiang Lili, and hated it in his heart. But all he could do was to ridicule Jiang Lili for being a country mud leg, and he was just selling off his noble identity and knowledge.

But the more he did this, the more he felt humbled in his eyes, to the point of being incomparable. It's cinders! It's swill! It's shit, it's rotten shit than rotten shit!

This is not a scholarly family, this is Nanyang Palace!

So he began to hate Sima Lan for why he didn't kill Jiang Lili, why he could be so useless, why he could come to Nanyang Wangfu without missing arms and legs!

The growing resentment and jealousy made him miserable, and he would embarrass Su Su during the period when Jiang Lili left the Nanyang Palace. And this kind of thing was taught by him, and in the teaching of his father, it was simply an act that a mud leg would do more than a mud leg.

That time Sima Lan stood outside the door and didn't stop it, he saw it, and he would wonder why his mother didn't stop him, could it be that he completely believed that he didn't have the slightest place to compete with Jiang Lili, so he would acquiesce to this kind of perverted behavior to satisfy the perverted desires in his heart!

And this time, Jiang Lili just stood in place and didn't move, he waved his fist and rushed up but fell at his feet.

And his dignity was crushed on the ground as he fell, crushed into a piece of bread, crumbs!

So his fragile heart, which he pretended to be impregnable, finally opened the door of his heart, he wept, he sobbed, he wailed, he wept bitterly!

It is said that the poor must have something to hate, and vice versa.

And I'm not saying that I should pity Su Jin, nor do I deliberately remind him that he is just a teenager under the age of fourteen, I am just saying that please tear through all the veils of hypocrisy and see a person clearly, whether he is pitiful or hateful, in order to have something to judge.

At this time, Su Jin, he cried and shouted to Jiang Lili who was far away: "Brother, can you teach me martial arts! I beg you!"

Sima Lan, who was standing in the dim light in the distance, finally let out a long sigh, she knew that she would not be able to compare to Qin Shuzhen's status in Su Yonglie's mind for the rest of her life, and at this time, she also knew that her children would only be afraid of being able to compare with Qin Shuzhen's children for the rest of her life.

She has been losing to the same person since she was a child, just like Su Jin has been losing to himself since she was born!

——————

Jiang Lili turned around and looked at Su Jin, who was still lying on the ground like an ant, and sneered, "Why should I teach you? Your mother wants to kill me, you can't get used to me, and you can't wait for me to die outside, why do you say I want to teach you?"

Su Jin trembled slightly, crying silently.

Jiang Lili sneered again, "Soft egg, do you know, since my sister left when I was six years old, I knew that crying was useless, no one in this world will pity you, just as no one in this world will pity me." ”

He narrowed his eyes slightly, the cold wind in the middle of the night was bitingly cold, and the winter wind in Cheng'an was so sharp that he cut his skin.

Jiang Lili probably didn't think that one day a peer would lay in front of him wailing and begging for himself, he was a little confused. He told himself that no one took pity on him, just like Zhang Jiuling would invite him to eat a silkworm when he taught him martial arts. So he told himself that he didn't have to sympathize with anyone, just as he would look coldly at the naked-garnished beggar shivering and wailing in the cold wind.

But should people have compassion? he asked himself.

No one answered.

The cold wind in the middle of the night sent a trace of murderous aura, and three half-human-high pitch-black iron nails shot from the dark night and black curtain, and the coldness pointed directly at Su Jin who was lying on the ground.

The unique design makes it impossible to see the traces of these three iron nails even under the light, and even in the cold wind, you can't hear the sound of these three iron nails flying rapidly in the air.

It's cold, it's cold!

Jiang Lili laughed, he didn't bring a knife, but behind him, another hideous demon was born.

Wu Zhou slapped the three iron nails with one claw, and then went deep into the night, and he could only hear three miserable low howls.

Fragile like summer flowers in the autumn wind, weak and powerless.

"Ask your mother to help me find someone, and I will teach you the three knife moves, which are the three sword moves I practiced. Jiang Lili sneered as she turned around: "Don't worry, with your garbage qualifications, even if you practice a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, ten thousand times, you don't have my three points of will at all!

Su Jin finally raised his head, and there was no more ruthlessness in his eyes, but instead of the joy and innocence that a teenager of this age should have.

——————

Su Yonglie, who was squatting on the roof, smiled, he felt that he was really good and wonderful in this life!

At the most difficult time in his life, he met the most noble person who changed his life, Su Yannian, the current saint, his sixth brother.

In his life, he married a woman he loved the most, and welcomed a woman who loved him the most as a concubine.

He has three children in his life who he feels the happiest, one is called Su Shuang, one is called Su Jin, and the other is Jiang Lili.

The tea in his hand had already been replaced with wine, and suddenly there was a huge cheer around, and I saw a huge, extremely colorful, and beautiful fireworks bloom in the air.

He ate the rest of the wine in one gulp, laughed, and lo and behold, it's New Year.
