Changfeng has a place to return

The winter sun shone on the small courtyard. After drying the herbs, Liu Hengchang sat on the steps, took out a bag of fried tofu from his arms and dipped it in salt and pepper, and ate it while paying attention to the movement behind him.After a while, there were indeed footsteps. The moment the door was pushed open, he hurriedly stuffed what was in his hand into his mouth, and hurriedly crumpled the oiled paper bag, stood up and said hello, "Mr. Feng."

As soon as I opened my mouth, there was a strong smell of pepper, salt and beans.Liu Hengchang looked a little embarrassed, Feng Xiaojin sat on the stone bench: "Don't be nervous, I just don't eat it myself, it's not that I don't want others to eat it."

"Yes, yes." Liu Hengchang put the remaining fried tofu fruit aside, "Mr. Yunyou always said that the stone-milled tofu here is delicious. Today I happened to be going to buy medicine. I passed by the store and just passed by." Bought a pack."

Feng Xiaojin took out the smelling salts from her sleeve, and it seemed that she really hated the smell of tofu. Liu Hengchang tidied up the table wisely, rinsed his mouth in the kitchen two or three times before returning to the courtyard.He intended to be clichéd, and now that the atmosphere is almost set, he beat around the bush and brought it into the subject, and said tentatively: "Mr. Feng, if you have any old knots, you might as well try to say it. I might be able to cure it. It's better than that." Be strong in your heart all the time.”

"It's not a knot, it's just pure nausea." Feng Xiaojin closed the smelling salts, frowning slightly, "I grew up in a tofu shop, and since I can remember, this kind of strong smell has been everywhere in my life. The lingering tofu smell, my mother..." At this point, he paused for a while, and Liu Hengchang immediately raised it nervously, for fear that the other party would cut off the conversation again.

Fortunately, Feng Xiaojin continued: "People in the town say that my mother is a great beauty, but I have never understood that she covers her hair with a cloth towel all day long, drags her sick body to wash and grind beans, and her body is thin She lost a little flesh, her face was white and her lips were white, so how could she be called a beauty? In my eyes at that time, any woman in my neighborhood would dress more brightly and live a brighter life than her. brilliance."

Liu Hengchang said: "So that's the case. No wonder Mr. Feng hates the taste of beans so much. Young son and widowed mother... This kind of livelihood requires strength, and it should be done by a man."

"She didn't choose this job, but her man. She took me to marry a tofu guy." Feng Xiaojin said lightly, "Later, I killed that man."

Liu Hengchang was surprised: "Huh?"

Feng Xiaojin said that he deserved to die.

"I was only eight years old when I killed someone."

But he has been abused for five full years.That tofu guy was ugly and useless, his family was poor, but he was addicted to drinking and gambling. He lost money outside, and when he came back, he only asked his wife for money, and beat him if he didn't give. cry bitterly.

"That messy tofu shop didn't have much business at first, but there are many men who are still willing to buy tofu from my house, and their annual income can be called good. The women in the town hated my mother because of this, so they met Just scold her, the ridiculous thing is, that tofu guy scolded her too."

The content of the scolding was nothing more than the matter in the crotch, and he said all kinds of ugly and dirty things, his life was so bitter that he couldn't see a little bit of sweetness.Feng Xiaojin said: "When I was eight years old, my mother got a serious illness, she couldn't get over it, and passed away. At the end of her life, she cried very sadly, worrying about my future life, but I was not sad, I I'm happy for her, I'm glad she finally doesn't have to live a life that is worse than a pig or a dog, I buried my mother with a smile."

On the second day after the burial, he used the Mongolian sweat medicine he had already saved and added it to the wine to stun the tofu guy.

"When he woke up, he found himself tied to a tree in a remote mountain forest. He cursed at first, and then begged me like a dog."

"It's useless to beg, I remember every whip he beat my mother."

"I still killed him."

He shut his mouth tightly, and used the same whip to return it one whip after another, but it was a pity that before the end, the person was already dead, bloody and filthy, as if soaked in red yeast rice A mass of rotten bean dregs.

Feng Xiaojin finished talking about this past, and said again: "Tell me, can you solve this knot for me?"

Liu Hengchang blushed: "... I thought my childhood was hard enough, and I even envied Young Master Feng for a time, thinking that Young Master, like the two little masters Yun You and Yun Le, was brought up by the leader with careful care. , I never thought that there would be eight hard years of wandering abroad."

Feng Xiaojin said: "More than eight years."

Liu Hengchang took the opportunity to answer: "Could it be that after killing that tofu guy, Mr. Feng still hasn't met the leader?"

Feng Xiaojin looked at him: "You seem to be very interested in my past today."

Liu Hengchang generously admitted: "It's not just today, it's only today that I have the opportunity to ask. Finally, Mr. Feng is willing to say a few more words with me."

It is rare for Feng Xiaojin to smile, and when she smiles, her eyes are more like a fox, charming and slanted upwards, indeed she has a beautiful shape, even Liu Hengchang, who is used to seeing beauties in Baihe Villa, is unavoidably surprised.

"Go and see Yunyou, those witch doctors are not half as capable as you." Feng Xiaojin got up enough of the sun and stood up.

Liu Hengchang looked distressed: "But the leader said, except for him and the witch doctor, no one is allowed to approach, otherwise he will die."

Feng Xiaojin shook her head: "Don't worry about it, I'll take you there."

……

In Raven City, there is no festival of lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there is no eating of sesame dumplings, but the excitement is still quite lively.

Liu Xian'an took Ah Ning for a walk around the street, without changing his face.Aning bought a mask from a small stall, held it up and said, "It looks a bit like a prince."

"You don't look like a prince." Liu Xian'an completely disagreed, "The prince is [-] times more beautiful than this mask."

Aning was already used to the mindless flattery of his son, so he put the mask on his face: "[-] times is [-] times."

Liu Xian'an tried to avoid it: "If I don't wear it, I can't see the way clearly."

"There is a big market in front, and there are many people. If you don't cover your face, you will attract a group of people to chase after you." Ah Ning insisted.

Liu Xian'an had no choice but to wear it obediently.

The two came out to buy gifts for Liu Nanyuan. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month was Miss Liu San's birthday. Although they could not congratulate in person, they still had to prepare the gifts on time.There were a lot of colorful things in the market, but Liu Xian'an went around a lot, but he didn't find anything particularly beautiful or interesting.In the end, Aning tugged at his sleeve, and said with sharp eyes: "There is a jewelry stall over there, and the business seems to be good!"

The stall owner was surrounded by a group of girls and aunts, haggling and haggling, his head was dizzy from the quarrel, and he didn't know whether he was selling at a loss or making a profit.Liu Xian'an immediately took a fancy to a silver hairpin, picked it up and asked, "Is this inlaid with red bone jade?"

"Yeah, you have a good eye!" said the stall owner, "This is the best jade from the Southwest Jade Farm. Are you buying it for your wife?"

"No, I bought it for my younger sister." Liu Xian'an took off the mask from his face, wanting to see it more clearly, the wind blew a few strands of his hair off, and the boss was dumbfounded by his handsome features, and said happily again: "I Who should it be, it turns out to be Young Master Liu!"

The news that His Royal Highness King Xiao and his party lived in the city these days has spread all over the streets and alleys, and it is not a secret.Liu Xian'an compared the hairpins in his hand, and said, "I'll take these three, they are really finely made."

The boss was not in a hurry to negotiate the price, but asked: "Young Master Liu's younger sister, is Miss Liu San?"

"Yes, I only have this younger sister." Liu Xian'an smiled, "How much?"

The guards of Prince Xiao's mansion on the side had already pulled out their wallets, ready to contribute their lord's salary at any time, but the boss insisted on not accepting it and insisted on giving it away for nothing.

Liu Xian'an said: "These things are not cheap."

"It's not cheap. Only if it's not cheap can I be worthy of Miss Liu San." The boss waved his hands again and again, "My daughter-in-law has been in poor health for the past few years, and she couldn't invite a famous doctor. Later, the disciples of Baihe Villa favored her, and she used Liu San. Miss Fangzi is as strong as a cow now... oops!"

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped by the daughter-in-law beside him. The people around laughed, the stall owner and his wife laughed, and Liu Xian'an also laughed. Amidst the noisy laughter, they bargained for a long time, and finally bought two free one.

The proprietress picked out the most beautiful box to put it in, and put a velvet bag with flowers on it. Liu Xian'an was watching her work, when someone next to her suddenly asked, "But I've always heard that Miss Liu San doesn't wear makeup on weekdays. Skirt wood hairpin, will you use such a gorgeous hairpin?"

Liu Xian'an followed the prestige and found that the person speaking was a teenage girl in a yellow skirt, neither ugly nor pretty, but her eyes were bright.

Aning explained: "The third lady of my family only wears that dusty apron when she is working, and she doesn't always wear makeup. She has many beautiful hairpins, and she especially likes the one with a butterfly on her head. In Baihe In the villa, everyone will remember to give her a hairpin when they go out."

"She's pretty, isn't she?"

"That can't be beautiful." Before Aning could speak, the people around rushed to answer, Miss Liu San of Baihe Villa, how could she not be beautiful.

The girl in the yellow skirt didn't listen, but looked at Liu Xian'an, and asked the same question again.

Liu Xian'an nodded: "She is my younger sister, in my heart, she is naturally the most beautiful in the world."

Just as he was talking, the proprietress had already installed the hairpin, and Liang Shu also came to find it.The noise of the common people suddenly became quieter. After all, even if the prince has ordered that there is no need to salute, it is not appropriate to make noise in person.

It is precisely because of this reason that His Royal Highness King Xiao was forced to stay in the mansion by his sweetheart today. The reason was "If you go out, the people will feel uncomfortable." Wandering around, Gao Lin was amazed at what he saw, and ran to Cheng Suyue's bedside to tell his younger sister, adding fuel and vinegar, making gestures and dancing.

Cheng Suyue's neck was wrapped with a snow-white bandage, and she couldn't speak a word.First she was almost strangled to death, and after lying on the bed for two days, she was told by Gao Lin of the shocking secret relationship between her prince and the second son of Liu... It's not a secret, the shocking love is so shocking. The eyeballs are wide open, like a dried up fish, and the mouth is struggling to make a gasping sound.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, but please stop talking." Gao Lin said, "Listen to me."

As soon as he said it, he talked endlessly.

And Lieutenant General Gao's literary level is really worrying, and those few sentences are repeated back and forth.

I could hear Miss Cheng on the sickbed going back and forth between fun and boredom, tense for a while, dozed off for a while, and speechless, which was even more painful.

Interesting is the flirting between the prince and the second son Liu.

Boredom is a rhetoric that is forcibly inserted in the eye contact of boredom. Although I don't know much about poetry, these words can't be used to describe our prince.

If he hears it, you're dead.

But Gao Lin couldn't understand his sister's painstaking efforts, so he sat on the bedside and said, "You didn't see, the Second Young Master Liu just went out shopping today and didn't take him with him, so our prince jumped up and down in a hurry, and only had to go up the tree and into the house."

Cheng Suyue: "..."

Shut up I don't believe it.

But in fact, it is almost the same as the truth. Anyway, His Royal Highness King Xiao did not stay in the mansion for long, and he found the door himself after a short time.Liu Xian'an asked: "Didn't you say you'd wait for me?"

"Come out and see how the people are doing this year." Liang Shu said in an official tone.

Liu Xian'an: "..."

The common people were very moved, and they all replied that we had a good year this year, very good, and now that the prince and Young Master Liu are here, it will be even better.

"That's good." Liang Shu grabbed Liu Xian'an's shoulders, gentle and elegant, without changing his face, "Let's go, accompany me to another place for inspection."

The author has something to say:

Miss Cheng: My brother is very noisy.
