Smoke lock heavy building

Back in Yangzhou Poor Alley, Mu Shaoai was dressed in men's clothing, with a green shirt and scarf, and a brown horse followed behind him.Just like when Yuwen Zhou came, the alley was suddenly full of people.

In the past 13 years, more than half of the people in Poor Alley have changed several times.Walking into the home of that year, there was a stench in the tile-roofed house, and a sick beggar was lying in the corner.Mu Shaoai didn't go in again, and left the alley.

After selling the horses, he walked along the street and unknowingly came to the front of the building.Thinking of the ideals of the year, I couldn't help laughing.

In the past 13 years, the news surrounding the Lou Mansion has been the same as before, good or bad, even if a little maid broke a teacup, people in the market can talk about it for a while.And the news that spread the most was the news about Lou Yi Qin's selection of son-in-law.Although I don't know if it's true or not, many young masters are already preparing for it.

Turning back to the street again, Mu Shaoai felt that it was time to find a place to stay.He was looking for the inn in his memory, when suddenly someone bumped into him and bumped into his arms.Mu Shaoai reflexively grabbed the opponent's shoulder, only then did he see that the opponent was a woman, holding his own money bag.

The woman reacted very quickly, and said with a smile: "Ah! Brother, you were too careless. You didn't put the purse in place, and it fell out when it hit you. Oops! Put it away quickly, the money is not in vain!" Put the money bag into Mu Shaoai's other hand.

Mu Shaoai looked at the woman in front of her. She was dressed in linen and had some stains on her face, but she was a standard beauty with a small mole under the corner of her left eye.

Seeing that she didn't intend to let go, the woman yelled: "Young master, men and women can't kiss each other. Seeing how well-mannered you are, why don't you let go?"

Seeing people gathered around, Mu Shaoai tentatively asked, "Are you Fang Jie?"

"How do you know my name?"

"I'm Shaoai!"

"Shaoai? Mu Shaoai!" Fang Jie looked at the person in front of her in surprise, and suddenly hugged Mu Shaoai, and said with a smile, "It's really Shaoai! You're finally back!"

Mu Shaoai slowly pushed Fang Jie away, and said with a smile: "Don't do this, someone is watching!"

Only then did Fang Jie notice the surroundings, and hurriedly dragged Mu Shaoai away from the market.

Fang Jie didn't stop until she was not far from the poor alley, leaning against the wall in an unladylike manner, panting heavily.In contrast, Mu Shaoai's breath was steady, and he patted Fang Jie's back thoughtfully to help her feel better.

Taking a few deep breaths, Fang Jie looked at Mu Shaoai and laughed again, "You girl, why did you come back dressed like this?"

"It's easier on the road."

"Where's Aunt Xue? Did she come back with you?"

Mu Shaoai's body froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "No, she is doing well now."

Fang Jie didn't ask any more questions, and took Mu Shaoai to her current home.It's very close to the poor alley, but the environment is much better than there.A bedroom, a kitchen, and a courtyard.Mu Shaoai knew this place, it used to be the home of Fang Jie's father and stepmother.

Fang Jie asked Mu Shaoai to rest, and went to the kitchen to light a fire and boil water.

Where could Mu Shaoai sit still, standing behind Fang Jie, said: "Don't bother, I'm not thirsty yet."

"How can it be done! When you come to my house, you have to listen to me." Fang Jie regarded herself as a big sister when she was a child, and now she still regards Mu Shaoai as a little sister.Although Mu Shaoai has always refused to call her sister.

Mu Shaoai had no choice but to stand aside and asked, "How have you been doing all these years?"

"My craftsmanship is not bad, it's not bad!"

"Craft?" Mu Shaoai remembered what happened just now.

Fang Jie put the firewood down, stood up, looked into Mu Shaoai's eyes, and said with a smile: "In the past ten years, many things have changed. Da Mao went up the mountain, became a robber, and was beheaded by the government the year before last. He became a gambler, lost money once, and was beaten to death on the street. Luckily, he went to the Lou Mansion to work as a servant, but he was wronged and stole the lady's jade bracelet, so he was resigned from his job. No one believed him , no one dared to use him again, and finally forced him to commit suicide by jumping into a well. I was the luckiest, my stepmother sold me to a brothel after my father died. But I escaped from the brothel, killed my stepmother, and put her His body was thrown into the well. He became a thief and has lived till now.”

Mu Shaoai couldn't find any words to comfort her, only pity in his eyes.

For Fang Jie, this is enough.She threw herself into Mu Shaoai's arms again, her shoulders trembled, and all the sadness that had been suppressed for a long time burst out.It turned out that Mu Shaoai was already half a head taller than him.

After Fang Jie adjusted her mood, Mu Shaoai took the water and put it in front of Fang Jie.Fang Jie recovered her smile and said, "I was supposed to entertain you, but I didn't expect you to entertain me."

"In my heart, you have always been my...friend. When you are saddest, I can't be by your side. At least for now, let me do something for you."

"only friends?"

Mu Shaoai blushed, and hurriedly said, "Otherwise, what else?"

"I have always regarded you as my younger sister!" Fang Jie reminded.

Mu Shaoai didn't answer, turned around and went out, before leaving, he said: "I'm going to buy some food, you wait for me to come back."

In Tianruo Villa's life, Mu Shaoai developed a habit of picky eaters, and went to several restaurants to try dozens of dishes before returning to Fang Jie's house.

Bringing the dishes to the table one by one, Mu Shaoai introduced with a smile, "Ruixiang's Dinghu Shangsu, Fuyuan's West Lake Vinegar Fish, Zhangji's flower cakes, and a pot of Loufu Five Treasures Honey Wine." Fang Jie was dumbfounded Standing blankly at the door, Mu Shaoai walked over and asked, "What's the matter? It took me a long time to gather the dishes for this table. If I don't eat them, they will be cold."

"Shaoai, you... you bought these?"

"Could it be given by someone else?"

"You must have been doing well these years, right?" Fang Jie finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.

Mu Shaoai was silent for a few seconds before responding: "I have lived in Tianruo Villa these years. My mother is the owner's wife."

"Then you are the young master?"

Young owner?Mu Shaoai shook his head with a wry smile.

Fang Jie noticed that Mu Shaoai was unwilling to answer this question, so she hurriedly sat down at the table, and changed the subject with a smile, "Didn't you say it took a long time to gather the dishes for this table? Come and eat!" I will have a good taste today, today, we will not go home until we are drunk."

"Okay! If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

When it comes to drinking, Fang Jie is no match for Mu Shaoai.Yu Wentuo said that a woman can not drink, but she must not drink.So since the age of 15, Mu Shaoai began to exercise his drinking capacity.It is said that women bring their own three-point alcohol capacity, and Mu Shaoai never thought that he could drink a jar of strong wine without changing his face, and he didn't even have a basic hangover reaction the next day.

Gently carried Fang Jie to the bed, undressed her and covered her quilt, and wiped her forehead with warm water.After finishing all this work, Mu Shaoai also relaxed, took the remaining half pot of wine and flew up to the roof.

Borrowing the moonlight, Mu Shaoai felt more melancholy.I don't know if my mother ever missed me.As soon as he raised his head, half of the jug of wine was drained.Holding the jug like this, Mu Shaoai fell asleep on the roof.
