(Xiaobai works in the e-commerce industry, during this period of double 11 activities, "Taoist" update is not powerful, I'm really sorry~~)

The night had completely darkened, and the shops on both sides of the street were brightly lit.

Ma Ping stood on the stone bridge, under which a fishing boat docked at the shore, a black canopy boat, and the old fisherman was boiling fish soup to prepare dinner, and the rich smell of fresh fish was permeating.

This world is prosperous and prosperous, and at this time, it is like an ink painting scroll slowly spreading out.

"Old man, but there is still fresh fish?

The old fisherman got up and said happily:

"There's Le, there's Le, there's a big one!"

The fish and sheep are fresh, carrying the fresh fish just bought, and buying two catties of lamb chops from the mutton vendor, and going to the store with them dangling in their hands.

Zhang's old shop is not far from this stone bridge, just around the corner.

The red lantern had been lit with candles at this time, and the characters in regular script were written on it. A gust of evening breeze blew and the lanterns swayed from side to side.

As soon as he walked to the door of the store, Xiao Er greeted him with a smile on his face, Ma Ping shook the fish and mutton in his hand, handed it to Xiao Er and said:

"Let the kitchen use this to make a pot of soup for the poor road, and count the money. ”

Knowing that Ma Ping was a distinguished guest of the owner's family, Xiao Er would not slack off, so he handed over the fish and mutton to another Xiao Er to take to the kitchen to clean up, and he took Ma Ping to the backyard.

Walking in the corridor, you can see that most of the houses in the backyard are already occupied by tenants, and the candlelight shines through the cracks in the windows, which makes people feel relieved.

Life is in the world, but the word eating and sleeping, at this time, everyone began to rest.

"There are two handymen in the poor road who came first with the carriage, can you see it?"

"Dressed in black skits. ”

Xiao Er is a clever person, and he knows who he is talking about as soon as his brain turns, and the two people happened to be received by him, so he nodded and said:

"Those two uncles have arranged to live in a middle room! ”

"But I haven't arranged food for them yet, saying that I want to wait for you to come, Dao Chang will go here!" came to the gate of your house, and Xiao Er respectfully invited Ma Ping in.

Walking into the courtyard, stepping on the flat bluestone slab, looking at the gurgling water, the water vapor is rich, and I suddenly feel that the heat is gone.

"Not bad~" nodded:

"You go to the kitchen and tell you not to serve wine, and make more hard dishes! Donkey meat with sauce should be cut into two catties. ”

Xiao Er took the order, closed the courtyard door and retreated.

It's the third time I've come here, and I can see the flowing water and breeze in the courtyard, as well as pavilions and wide houses.

Take off your shoes and socks, and the cool water will run across your instep, soft and comfortable.

Whoa...

After soaking for a long time, Xiao Er came back again, stood outside the door and said respectfully:

"Dao Chief, the meals are ready and ready to eat. ”

Hearing the sound, Ma Ping took the clogs from the steps on the side and put them on his feet.

Squeak ~ squeak ~

Then walk along the path made of dark cyan stone slabs to the courtyard gate and open the doorway:

"The kitchen is moving very fast today, but it wasn't so fast last time. Then he went to the front.

When Xiao Er heard this, his expression was even more attentive, and he followed:

"Dao Chief, today is our young lady who will do it for you personally. Moved the other guests back faster than ever. ”

Ma Ping smiled when he heard this, didn't say much, and walked into the lobby.

At this time, the first floor was already full, Ma Ping took a look and went up to the second floor as usual, and there were many fewer people on the second floor, only two or three tables were sitting, Zhang Dazhuang and Wang Er were also here;

"That's it. ”

Xiao Er stepped forward and wiped the table, lifted the teapot on the table and poured a glass of water, and then made a gesture:

"Wait a minute, chief!" and went downstairs.

Then Zhang Dazhuang and Wang Er came over to salute:

"Lookout!"

Ma Ping waved his hand and sent the two back to their seats.

Not long after, the dish was delivered, three meat and three vegetables.

"Dao Chief, the dishes are ready, please use it slowly~"

"Hmm!" waved Xiao Er to step back.

Outside the window, the wicker swayed gently, and the night market downstairs was crowded.

"People in the world~" are full of red dust, and the joys and sorrows of the performance are endless!

Then a young woman came upstairs.

Wearing a cyan plain skirt, with a silver hairpin on her head, she only has a handful around her waist, and from the waist down, the close-fitting long skirt is an amazing curvature.

On the face of the peach and plum, the eyebrows are affectionate, and the look is shining.

As soon as this woman came up, she naturally attracted the attention of everyone upstairs.

On a table in the middle of the second floor, there were two scholars, one of whom unconsciously chanted at this time:

"The hair is like the light clouds covering the moon, and the fluttering is like the snow of the wind~"

Then the scholar's face was bitter:

It's just such a beauty, why is she already a wife!?

Looking at the woman's bun on the woman's head, everyone's hearts were inexplicably sour.

I was not born, and I was old.

You hate me for being late, and I hate you for being early.

"Chongming Dao Chief!" while everyone was thinking, the woman had already walked to Ma Ping's table and saluted:

"Aunt Ying has seen Daoist Chongming!"

The person who came was the red-haired fox of the Zhang Xinghu family, who was related to the scholar, Yinggu.

Ma Ping pointed to the empty seat:

"Sit down, where is your husband, in the store?"

Zhang Yinggu was radiant, sat down and said:

"Back to the Ming Daoist, my grandson is going to the imperial examination, and he went to Yuncheng last month. ”

Ma Ping shook his head slightly when he heard this, frowned and said:

"He can't win this subject!"

"Yes, my aunt said the same thing!" Zhang Yinggu nodded and said:

"But my grandson is stubborn, I must go on this trip, and I won't listen to persuasion. ”

"Later, I thought that it didn't cost much anyway, so it would be good for him to hit the wall. After saying that, he pursed his lips and smiled.

This smile happened to be seen by the scholar just now, and he suddenly felt even more depressed in his heart:

"The hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, the teeth are like a rhinoceros, the head of the mantis is like a moth eyebrows, and the smile is clever!

"Alas~"

He didn't speak loudly, but Ma Ping and Zhang Yinggu were both successful in cultivation, so they naturally heard it clearly.

When he landed, Ma Ping frowned and said:

"If you have anything to say, let's go to the backyard and talk about it!"

Zhang Yinggu also thought it was better, so she nodded:

"Yes, Dao Chief!"

Having eaten almost enough, Ma Ping simply stopped eating and got up straight and went downstairs.

Go downstairs, cross the corridor, push the door and enter the courtyard.

Although Zhang Yinggu is a fox, after all, she is married, and it is because Ma Ping did not enter the house, so she sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard.

The two sat down in priority and chatted a few words, and Zhang Yinggu said what she meant:

"Dao Chief, the day before yesterday, the emperor's members disappeared, and the children of the clan were worried~" Be careful with the wording:

"Does the Taoist know the inner reason?"

Ma Ping glanced at her, and he was not surprised that the Zhang family inquired about this matter.

Huangfu Duan was able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, so he naturally had a certain status in the cultivation world of Pingyang City.

When such a person dies, how can there be no turmoil?!

"It's better to have a catastrophe, but it's impossible to escape a catastrophe!"
