Salt Xiao Fulang

"For the victory of our small goal, drink this bowl of wine!"

"One mouthful!"

"Oh!"

Everyone gathered at Song Xu's house in a lively manner, and three tables were set up in the yard, which was barely enough to sit on.

The tables, chairs and benches were all borrowed from Aunt Niu next door, and the colors of the cups, plates and chopsticks were messy, but it didn't dampen everyone's interest.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Wansan's eyes became blurred, and he stammered: "I, Wansan, have never done such a pleasant thing in my life... The money, the one named Qian, is right in front of my eyes , pee, hahahaha pee hahaha—”

Wan Qi looked at his cousin with disgust, not greedy for the sip of wine, but stared at the candied lotus root on the table to eat.

"Boss Song is really good at craftsmanship. I have been digging lotus roots for so many years, but I didn't know that I could make this kind of flavor! No wonder the business is booming. Now the Qian family's few shops are not working!"

Song Xu had a smile on his face: "It's all thanks to you for being polite."

It is true to say that, there are many people present, and everyone has contributed.

Ever since Qian Sangou was frightened in the gambling hall, he has been bedridden since he returned to Qian's mansion, and dared not leave the gate.

Many shops that survived with their tails between their legs tentatively started to organize activities when they saw this situation, buy one get one free, try new products, and for a while, the little Chunyang County was full of vitality!

Song Xu also made a lot of money.

In addition to the money that will be returned to Aunt Niu for the shop, he also earned a full 40 taels, which is just enough to buy back the land that was sold before.

It just so happened that yesterday the village chief came to deliver a message, saying that a family member in the next village had a difficult life and planned to sell the land.The place happened to be next to Dashi Village, and it wasn't too far to walk there, so I asked Song Xu if he wanted it.

Song Xu discussed with Xiaochun and decided to buy it.

Six acres of fertile land, 35 taels, Xiaochun stood on the ground and looked forward. It was obviously a piece of white snow, but his heart was agitated.

Fields are back at last!

At night Xiaochun was still too excited to fall asleep, so he wrapped up his cotton-padded jacket and went to the backyard to step on plum blossom piles.

The plum blossom piles range from low to high, and the tallest one is even with the roof. Song Xu made a bowl of tea and went to the back window of the kitchen to watch Xiaochun basking in the moon.

The slender figure is quite different from when he first arrived.

In just over two months, Xiaochun changed from a numb and weak doormat to the current young man with his head held high and his chest held high.

Xiaochun jumped up and down lightly, and the one-month training was not in vain. He has been able to quickly and steadily step from the bottom to the top, and then step down backwards without looking back.

The movements are smooth and flowing, which is pleasing to the eye.Song Xu couldn't help sighing in his heart, Lao Mo is quite capable.

After practicing for a while, Xiaochun finally let out the excitement, jumped down three or two times, and shouted to Song Xu: "Let's celebrate tomorrow, let everyone come to eat!"

Song Xu thinks about what he has done recently - ruined the shop, Qian Sangou was frightened, and the end of the year is approaching...

With so many reasons, it's time to get together and celebrate.

Xiaochun: "Let's celebrate that our family has a field!"

Song Xu: "..."

So today his family was full of joy, everyone responded to Song Xu's request, especially congratulations to Xiao Chun for regaining the six acres of land!

Besides the brothers from the Wan family in the shop, today Song Xu also invited Mi Xiaofei, Aunt Caixiu, the old village head's family, Uncle Six, and Aunt Niu's family.

He specifically told Tian Xiaoqing to bring his younger siblings, so there was a bunch of radish heads on the dinner table.The childish words made everyone laugh and have a good time.

Wansan led a group of gamblers, and created a musical effect in the gambling hall; Jiang Tiantian and the others were busy with the shop every day, but Aunt Caixiu found someone to tell stories every day, and also promoted Qian Sangou's rumors. Made great efforts.

Aunt Niu's money has not been returned yet, and even the old village head contributed two big geese!

Everyone deserves credit for Qian Sangou's temporary dormancy!

Song Xu stood up, and was about to say something, but seeing all the smiling faces, his throat was suddenly blocked and he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Xiaochun stood up, supported his lower back with one hand, and raised the wine bowl with the other.

"Not much to say, Brother Xu, I sincerely thank you for your help." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine, and bowed together with Song Xu.

Tian Xiaoqing took the lead and whistled: "Sister Song has worked hard recently! She is still pregnant with a child—"

Everyone laughed again, and Xiaochun couldn't help blushing.

I don’t know about the recent night activities, is there something in my stomach?

Xiao Chun glanced at Sixth Uncle, planning to ask him to take his pulse when the banquet was over.

The dishes on the table were made by them together. The dishes are not fancy, but they have meat and oil, so they are delicious no matter how you eat them.

Tian Xiaoqing's younger brothers and sisters all ate like crazy and almost climbed onto the table one by one.

Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and Xiaochun stood up excitedly: "Did Brother Mo finally arrive!?"

Mo Shi'an was naturally also invited.

He went to Nantian Town in the past few days, and just got back today when he received a letter from Song Xu, asking him to come to their house for dinner when he came back.

Mo Shi'an is a loyal supporter of their old Song family's food, and he is very familiar with the road to full stomach.

When he saw this brightly lit courtyard of people from a distance, the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly rise.

"Have you eaten?"

Jiang Tiantian held a chicken leg in his hand, and stood on the stool with one foot: "Brother Mo! Brother Mo, you are here! We ate it, and it's almost done!"

Mo Shi'an was not polite either, he sat down and began to cook rice, Jiang Tiantian looked at him itchyly, and then at the tall horse tied outside the courtyard.

"Go ahead and touch it."

Mo Shi'an smiled and pointed to Jiang Tiantian, jumping three feet high, and Xiaochun couldn't bear to like it, so the two went to watch the horse together.

Song Xu took the wine and sat down in front of Mo Shi'an.

"Brother Mo, I respect you too!"

Mo Shi'an's drinking capacity was quite in line with his body type. After he was full, he wiped his mouth and said to Song Xu in a low voice: "I have news for you. There will be imperial envoys on a southern tour after the spring of next year."

"Imperial envoy!?"

"Keep your voice down... Prepare the charges against the county magistrate, and hand them over to the imperial envoy when the time comes—wouldn't Qian Sangou be dead?"

This news should not have been known by more people, but Mo Shi'an couldn't help but feel a little admiration when he saw this group of people working hard for his own good life.

"Be patient, don't push the county magistrate into a hurry. After next year, you will have a good day."

After finishing speaking, he patted Song Xu on the shoulder, got up and went to Xiaochun and Jiang Tiantian.

"Do you like Zidian? Let me teach you how to ride a horse."

"Really, okay!"

Song Xu sat at the table, looked at everyone's laughing figures, and felt that there was really something to look forward to in this day.

***

money mansion.

Qian Sangou kicked Qian Xiaoyu's waist, and he heard a muffled groan.

"Can't find out!? After so many days, you tell me that I can't find out!?"

The ground was uneven, the harder Qian Xiaoyu used his hands to support the ground, the deeper the sharp stones were embedded, and bloodstains were formed on the ground.

"Master... it's Xiao Yu who is incompetent..."

Qian Xiaoyu was panting, her face was pale, and she tried to smile.

Qian Sangou's violent heart suddenly arose, he grabbed Qian Xiaoyu's neck and lifted him up.

Petite and weak animals can often arouse sadistic desires in people.

Qian Sangou liked beating beauties when he was a child, and it got worse after he became an adult. Now, seeing Qian Xiaoyu's pear blossoms raining on his face, his hands were itchy, and he pinched her until he rolled his eyes!

Baolin was fighting on the sidelines, seeing that Qian Xiaoyu's grasping hands were convulsed, he finally said urgently: "Master!"

Qian Sangou let go of his hand, and Qian Xiaoyu fell to the ground, coughing desperately.

After a while, her breathing became smoother. Qian Xiaoyu was on the verge of death once, her mind was in chaos, only to hear Qian Sangou say again: "Forget it, come here."

Qian Xiaoyu couldn't stand up, so she crawled to Qian Sangou's feet.

Then he was picked up, Qian Sangou rubbed the back of his neck, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, you serve me obediently...you are still the housekeeper of the Qian family..."

It was already evening when he was released.

Baolin followed him timidly, not daring to make a sound.

Qian Xiaoyu's heart was full of boundless hatred, like balls of black mud clogging his chest.

Even though the neck had been released, it was still difficult to breathe.

After saying hello to the gatekeeper, he wrapped himself in furs and left the mansion. Outside the back door was an alley, and there were not many people on weekdays.

He walked for a while, and when he was about to turn into the main road, he suddenly tripped over something.

Looking down, it turned out to be a little yellow-haired girl who was thrown away by someone. She was wrapped in torn cotton wool and nestled in a hollow in the wall.

The little girl was four or five years old at most, she was out of shape, and her eyes were terribly big.

Qian Xiaoyu suddenly laughed.

He took out a paper bag from his pocket and twisted out a piece of mung bean cake.

Even in the cold wind, the sweet smell was captured by the little girl, her eyes sparkled, and she was about to hug Qian Xiaoyu's calf.

Qian Xiaoyu took a step back, threw the pastry under her feet, and before the little girl could react, she stomped on it!

"Ah!" The little girl tilted her head in surprise, and anxiously picked the soles of his shoes.

Qian Xiaoyu laughed and raised her foot after being crushed.There was a pool of debris and mud, but the little girl happily stuffed the dirty thing into her mouth.

He knelt down and looked at it for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more amusing he became, and finally he couldn't help but say: "Hahaha... this, isn't this me?"

The little girl ate happily, as if there were no other sad things in her life.Qian Xiaoyu suddenly felt bored again, so she got up and left.

He was going to his little house.

I haven't been back in the past few days. I don't know if Big Brother Mo is living obediently?

No.

He pushed open the door, and the small house was empty.Only a branch of wintersweet from the neighbor's house passed over the wall, exuding a pleasant fragrance.

Thick snow fell on the small stone table in the yard, and it seemed that no one had lived there for many days.

As the sky darkened, Qian Xiaoyu wiped the snow off the stone bench and sat down.

He waited and waited until midnight when the bell struck and snowflakes fell from the sky again, and Brother Mo still didn't come back.

***

Yuan Maolin and his concubine had some estrangement recently.

The reason is of course because of Qian Sangou, he has made a mess of his own reputation, and he wants to ask himself to find out for him! ?

Think beautiful!

Of course the concubine was not happy, and sooner or later she had a fight with Yuan Maolin, making his family restless.

At this stall, Yuan Maolin suddenly received a letter from his mentor, saying that he would come to visit in the near future!

The letter also mentioned that next year, the prime minister's faction will send imperial envoys to tour the south!

The prime minister's faction, isn't this their sworn enemy! ?

Yuan Maolin was in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to quarrel with his concubine anymore, so he hurriedly coaxed him back with sweet words.

The mentor is coming, presumably to remind him how to deal with the imperial envoy next year.

As for his benefactor, he couldn't afford it early, since he was going to come, he had to prepare a big gift... Where did he get the gift, didn't he have to ask the Qian family for money to buy it! ?

Qian Sangou didn't know that he was wandering on the verge of being abandoned. After a few days, he couldn't bear the loneliness again.

He didn't dare to go to the street, so he didn't dare to go to the brothel.

Although it is possible to ask a few girls to come home to serve him, it is still not as exciting as the atmosphere of a brothel.

The purple seal on Qian Xiaoyu's neck had already faded a little. Today, he casually mentioned something.

"Master, it's Xiuhong and they are not caring? Do you want...for a change?"

Qian Sangou became interested: "These women are sticky all day long, is there something refreshing..."

Qian Xiaoyu laughed: "Where can there be refreshing girls in brothels? Only those from good families don't have the smell of makeup..."

Qian Sangou thought about it: "Then you can't go to someone else's house to rob it now, right? I robbed one before, and there will be too many troubles later, so it's not worth it."

"Then ask, is there anyone who is too poor and wants to sell their daughter and husband..."

"Seller!?" Qian Sangou suddenly thought of something, and laughed obscenely: "I remembered, there really is such a salesman, and it was agreed to be mine!"

"It's better to hit the sun than catch the sun, but it's only a few days early, so let's mention him now."
