On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year atmosphere on the street is extremely strong, and the business of the Silver House is also extremely hot, which fully proves that Bianjing is indeed the most affluent city in the world, not to mention the officials and even the common people spend a lot of money.
Looking outside the door, Ling Qingyu turned around and said, "Let's go back." According to this speed, I'm afraid that the goods will be sold out once this year is over, and Ling Qingyu doesn't want to share half of the goods that will be delivered again. Send valuables over here.
Yang Zhao will go back to Heishuiguan first after the audience in the next year. During this period of time, he has made some achievements in Bianjing, and he has obtained some supplies and privileges from the Ministry of War. When will I see you again, every night I want to make love like rubbing her into my flesh and blood.
"Get out of the way."
Hearing the noise coming from the front, his own carriage was moved aside, Ling Qingyu opened some curtains and looked out.
It was a team of Liao people, tall and strong, very mighty.
The people in front are familiar, but who is that bastard Gu Sui
Ling Qingyu put down the curtains. He knew that he was not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect that he was from Liao! If he knew earlier, he wouldn't be given the gold even if he was killed!
The horse team was very organized, passing slowly by the carriage.
After the horse team passed by, Ling Qingyu asked Ying Shisan to go home directly. It is useless to regret what he has done, and it is meaningless to say goodbye to those who have separated. It's still important to go back and make dumplings.
On New Year's Eve, the inner courtyard of the Ling family was very lively. Ying Shisan bought a lot of fireworks, and the kitchen cooked dishes like water.
Han Bian twenty-nine handed out the wages and red envelopes of the servants, and then let them go home. There were half-cooked dishes in the kitchen, and they were the only ones left in the yard.
So the flowing dishes in the kitchen came from Ling Qingyu, Yan San, Yang Zhaohe, Han Jianying, Thirteen Sum, Xie Sanlang and others. Of course, Shi Fang didn't do it, he only cared about drinking.
The working table is on the big table outside the kitchen. Although the weather is still cold, there is heat from the stove and there are many charcoal pots placed, and the yard is heated up.
The dish cooked by the only woman is actually the worst in terms of appearance and taste, even Xie Sanlang can't match it. This fact makes Ling Qingyu very frustrated.
"Fortunately, you are a woman!" Xie Sanlang said, looking at Ling Qingyu's boiled dumplings.
"Why?" Ling Qingyu touched the flour on his face and asked.
"You don't know how to embroider and cook, and you don't know what women should know. If you marry someone, you will starve yourself to death, or you will be divorced." Xie Sanlang has not been in contact with Dazhou culture for a long time, but these basic principles I still understand, said.
"You son of a bitch! I'm the head of the house, you know I'm so gifted? Heaven will send a big job to everyone!" Ling Qingyu patted his head and said.
"You're still so fierce! You don't look like a woman at all, be careful no one will want you!" Xie Sanlang said unconvinced, how nice Japanese women are, and they don't speak loudly!
"Whether I want you to care! Anyway, it's not your turn!" Ling Qingyu knocked him on the head again.
"I, who is the head of the family, is kind-hearted, noble-minded, good at housekeeping and making money. Where can I find such a good woman? No one wants me!" As he spoke, he knocked Xie Sanlang on the head again.
"Is there anyone who praises yourself like that? You are a profiteer!" Xie Sanlang, who was beaten into anger, said. People who rob everywhere say they are of high moral character
"That's true. The high moral character can be removed. Anyway, we are not bad people." Ling Qingyu looked at the sky, then twisted Xie Sanlang's ears, and said: "Even if I am corrupt, I like to take advantage of small things, I am your savior! What should be your attitude towards your savior? Tell me."
"You can't repay the favor of saving your life. You can only promise it with your body." A cool voice came from the gate of the courtyard.
"Have you heard that, this is the thinking of normal people!" Immediately agreed, Ling Qingyu turned around and asked, "Who are you!"
In the yard, swords were drawn, swords were drawn, knives were drawn, and even Han Bian raised his rolling pin.
Yan San didn't move, just asked indifferently: "What are you doing here?"
The man at the gate of the yard was half-hidden in the shadows, his figure was very tall, and his silver-gray clothes shone faintly under the moonlight.
"Who is he?" Ling Qingyu turned around and asked Yan San.
"But it's been less than four years, have you forgotten all about it?" The person at the door came out from the shadows, with thick eyebrows flying high, a pair of eyes shone and restrained, with a calm demeanor yet showing a hint of domineering, just walking slowly Slowly walked in front of Ling Qingyu.
Ying Shisan's sword tip moved slightly, Yan San blocked him, and said with a smile: "You can't stop Daxia Lu's sword."
"Lu Yao?" Ling Qingyu paused, then looked at the very calm man who was already a head taller than himself, looked carefully, and said with a smile: "It's really Lu Yao."
Lu Yao took a deep breath and thought to himself, don't be angry, getting angry with her is asking for guilt! Turning to Xie Sanlang, he said: "You are wrong when you say that no one wants her. I am her son-in-law."
"Ah!?" Xie Sanlang opened his eyes wide, strolled around to Yan San and Yang Zhao, then scratched his neck and said, "Listen to your nonsense! I have never seen you before, you just got out!"
"I didn't tell you. She saved my life. I can't repay her. Naturally, I can only promise her with my body." Lu Yao said lightly.
Ling Qingyu's face was dry and cracked.
Xie Sanlang still didn't let her go, he sneered at Lu Yao and said: "The grace of saving life must be promised by body, the people here are all saved by her, and there may be hundreds of people saved by her on the boat. Qian, is she going to recruit?"
This brat, but what he said was really good! Ling Qingyu pulled Lu Yao over with a smile and said, "Don't be as knowledgeable as a child. It just so happens that the servants at home are on vacation, and no one cooks. You haven't forgotten your craftsmanship, right?"
Lu Yao untied the epee around his waist, took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and gently flicked Xie Sanlang, saying, "I'll come."
Looking at Yan San and Yang Zhao's expressions, Han Bian put down his rolling pin and said, "I'll make tea first."
Sum looked at Ying Shisan, and asked with his eyes: Did this come out of that
Shadow Thirteen Back to him: How do I know? !
Both of them looked at He Li, and he was the only one of the same generation as them! He Li touched his nose and said, "I'll get some dried fruit." It disappeared.
"How do you know we're here?" Ling Qingyu asked.
Lu Yao glanced at her, but didn't make a sound. He knew from Longmen that she was coming to Bianjing. He arrived in Bianjing a few days later because he had to deal with some things. When he came, he heard a lot about the female head of the Ling family. He didn't know about the rumors like others, but Yang Zhao knew about it. He was so entangled in his heart that he waited for a day by the Ling's silver building before following Han Bian to find this courtyard, and he struggled for another day whether he would come to see her or not. , how could she wait for him with her character, I'm afraid she has forgotten all about it long ago, but some things can be suppressed if you don't think about them or see them, but the more you think about them, the more you can't suppress them. , but accidentally climbed over the wall and came in. Originally, she just wanted to stand silently behind the wall and take a look, but she was so happy and got along with those people, as if he was the only one left alone, so she couldn't bear to pick up that person anymore. words.
Lu Yao's craftsmanship not only did not regress, but became more refined. A piece of bacon was sliced as thin as transparent by an invisible knife light.
"Wrong! The bacon needs to be thick and fat!" Ling Qingyu exclaimed.
After being yelled at by her several times, Lu Yao slowly regained his senses, as if he was still in that small courtyard, as if he was still in the Fengshen, as if he was still in that Treasure Island. The position he came back to was just that after so many years, that position was probably just an old friend.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that his eyes were a little red, Ling Qingyu asked.
"This is so spicy, what is it?" Lu Yao pointed at the chili pepper and touched the corner of his eyes, the chili powder in his hand immediately made tears come out.
"Chili! You haven't eaten it before! You'll know how delicious it is later!" Ling Qingyu said triumphantly.
"Are you cured?" Lu Yao asked casually, wiping his eyes with his sleeve. The rumors outside include that the female head of the Ling family wanted to save a young lady who jumped into the lake, but she got seriously ill and almost died.
"It's not good yet, Qing Yu, let's go to the house and rest." Yang Zhao said lightly.
"Okay." Ling Qingyu picked up two pots of fried vegetables and happily walked into the room.
"I won't stay for long, don't worry." Lu Yao said without looking back as he poured the vegetables into the pot.
The dishes on the table were ready in no time. When Lu Yao walked into the room, Ling Qingyu was stuffing a piece of bacon into his mouth. Seeing him coming in, he smiled and said, "Lu Yao, your skills are really good. When will you stop being a hero, come and be my cook."
With a knife-like gaze, Lu Yao replied very calmly: "Okay."
Everyone despises him, so just brag, will you be a hero
"Come on, come on, everyone is here, sit down quickly, let's have the first cup first, I wish you all success in the new year and prosperity!" Ling Qingyu stood up and raised his glass.
Seeing that she was about to drink, Yan San immediately took down her wine glass and said, "You can't drink, the injury is not healed yet."
"Her injury is fine now." Shi Fang laughed, and had already downed a few cups.
Ling Qingyu smiled shyly: "Safe, safe, I'll drink tea." Forget it, she transforms as soon as she drinks.
"What injury?" Lu Yao asked.
"Boy, you don't know how dangerous it was at that time, there is a big hole in the chest! If my Shi Fang's medical skills are comparable to Hua Tuo, this girl would have died on board." Shi Fang was already a little drunk, and patted Lu Yao on the shoulder. road.
"Who did it?" Lu Yao asked Yan San. To be able to surpass Yan San and attack her, he must be a master.
"He's dead." Yan San said.
Lu Yao's hands under the table were clenched into fists, but he didn't ask any more. If he was still on the boat, Yan San would naturally not be on guard against him, but he is already in the rivers and lakes, so what else can he do.
"Okay, don't talk about these unpleasant things, come and eat, and let's set off fireworks later." Ling Qingyu knocked on the table and said. Lu Yao has already left, so there is no need to involve him and the Ling family. He has his own career and world. When we met, we chatted happily and separated to live our own lives.
When they arrived at Dezi, Ying Shisan set off fireworks in the yard, and countless fireworks lit up the sky in Bianjing.
Fire trees and silver flowers flicker all over the sky.
Xie Sanlang and Sum followed Ying Shisan and He Li to set off firecrackers and fireworks in the yard, laughing and shouting from time to time, Shi Fang held a wine glass and directed by the side, and Han Bian leaned on an armchair with a smile on his lips.
Ling Qingyu stood at the door, holding Yang Zhao with one hand, and Yan San with the other, looking at the bustling sky, and said softly: "I only wish that every year is like today, every year is like today."
Before dawn, Lu Yao left silently without saying goodbye to the drowsy Ling Qingyu, so that when Ling Qingyu woke up the next afternoon, he asked Yan San: "Why did I dream that Lu Yao came yesterday?"
