[Ancient Dan] Meet the Lord

The breakfast on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month was very satisfying.

"Little Chonger, give us half a bowl of porridge and a piece of cake." Zheng Yu waved and shouted.

"Wait!" Sun Chu anxiously called Xiao Chonger who was about to run to the back hall, and pressed his wife's hand and said, "Enough, enough! No more!"

Zheng Yu was not happy: "It's just porridge and pancakes, can you eat poor you?"

Sun Chu quickly explained: "That's not what it means. My little aunt, you've already drank four bowls of porridge alone. How can you eat like this? It's not because you can't afford it, but because you're afraid that you'll spoil your stomach if you try to be full for a while. !"

Zheng Yu was stunned, and Shang Zi couldn't believe it: "I, have I had four bowls of porridge?"

"Isn't it?" Gao Wuyue at the table next to him smiled coquettishly, "Four bowls of porridge, one and a half cakes, and a plate of side dishes, if you eat happily, it will make your husband worry about it. No matter how delicious the food is, it really isn't. Such a way to eat."

Zheng Yu blushed, pushed away the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I don't want that, I don't want anything, I don't want to eat."

While talking, I saw Xiao Wan going upstairs with a bowl of porridge and a plate of side dishes.

Gao Wuyue saw it, and patted the table and laughed: "No wonder everyone opened their bellies to eat this morning. In fact, the porridge and cakes are really good. Look, Lan Cui and the others added extra A bowl of porridge."

The wild fox at the other table got up after eating, and when passing the aisle beside Gao Wuyue, he made a rare joke: "Miss Gao, this is fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps."

Gao Wuyue heard the words, looked down in a flash, and hurriedly said "Oh!"

Xiao Chong'er went over to clean up the wild fox's dishes, and said to everyone: "It's not easy to let Chun Lai reveal his true skills. I ate a whole bowl of porridge and two pancakes by myself before I started working! Up and down the inn, which one is not the more the better? I'm afraid, only Mr. Yehu can abide by his own rules. It is enough to order half a piece of cake and a bowl of porridge, and he will not eat an extra grain of rice."

"Hey, Chun... Is Miss Kang Jue not angry anymore?" Zheng Yu asked Xiao Chong'er.

"If you're still angry, I'll have to cook." Xiao Chong'er laughed.

"Yesterday it was so violent, I thought Miss Kang Jue would leave in a fit of anger." Speaking of which, Zheng Yu was still very emotional.

Xiao Chong'er didn't know how to answer, so he simply smiled, cleaned up the dishes and left.

Sun Chu looked at his wife, and reached out to hold her hands: "Xiao Yu, let's make an agreement to go home today. I'll put away the burden early in the morning. I'll go up and get it. You'll wait for me here, okay?"

Just as Sun Chu was about to get up, the door of the No. [-] room upstairs creaked open.

It was Lan Cui who came out.

Lin Huo didn't push the wheelchair behind. It seemed that Miss Lan Cui didn't want to go downstairs. As usual, she wanted to let herself see the gate of the inn, so that she could wait for the person she was waiting for at the first time.

Zheng Yu suddenly grabbed Sun Chu's hand: "Can you not leave?"

Sun Chu looked back in doubt.

Zheng Yu looked upstairs, and she begged very quietly: "I suddenly want to see if the person she is waiting for will come, can we, don't leave yet?"

The husband became angry: "Are we going to wait with her? If that person doesn't come until spring, should we wait with her until spring? Will summer, autumn and winter also wait? Maybe that person won't come at all, you It's a waste of time!"

"Hush! Keep your voice down!" Zheng Yu was in a hurry, afraid that Lan Cui would hurt her if she heard something bad, she said firmly, "He will come, that person will definitely come! Just a few days! "

Sun Chu's face was extremely ugly.

Zheng Yu grabbed Sun Chu's hand even tighter: "The big deal is to spend New Year's Eve outside once, as you said, home is where I am..."

Sun Chu was conflicted in his heart, so he got rid of Zheng Yu's hand and went upstairs.

The flower shopkeeper came from the back hall with a pot of narcissus and lifted the curtain. He glanced at Zheng Yu and put the narcissus on the flower stand with a smile: "My wife is lucky to marry such a devoted man. "

Zheng Yu blushed, turned her head and ran away in embarrassment, Gao Wuyue grabbed her wrist.

Gao Wuyue's eyes were shining brightly, and she said with a smile full of spring breeze: "May I ask, how long have you been married?"

Zheng Yuhong answered, "15 years."

Gao Wuyue was surprised: "Has it been that long? I don't think you look like you have children. I thought you were only married for a few years."

"We really didn't have any children."

"We've been married for so long, why don't you even have a child?"

As if being pointed out by a word, Zheng Yu's eyes trembled, and gradually became blank: "Why... no children? Yes... no, there has always been no... no one has ever asked Why didn't I..."

The charcoal in the firepit was burning red, Lin Huo carried Lan Cui downstairs, and after placing her on the soft chair beside the firepit, he sat beside her.

Lan Cui stretched out her hands to warm herself by the fire while looking sideways at Zheng Yu who was in a daze, and said softly, "Why won't anyone ask? Neighbors love to gossip, but your husband never let those bad words reach your ears. It’s really hard work.”

"..." Zheng Yu looked up at the closed door upstairs, bowed his head in silence.

Shopkeeper Hua carried the charcoal basket and walked over to add a few pieces of charcoal to the firepit.

The snow stopped, and even the sun came out through the thick clouds, and the golden light shone on the tops of the trees, which was really beautiful.

"If you want me to say," Shopkeeper Hua said, "Madam, take advantage of the snow and go home with Mr. Sun. The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my own grass nest. Besides, I looked at you two early in the morning. Life is very difficult." I am afraid that compared with Zunfu, our inn is a real grass nest, and I feel sorry for wronging you two."

Zheng Yu gritted his teeth and thought about it, but then shook his head firmly: "No!"

Shopkeeper Hua was surprised: "Why?"

Zheng Yu looked at Lan Cui and said, "I want to see the person Miss Lan Cui is waiting for."

Lan Xue paused.

Shopkeeper Hua glanced at Lan Cui, and said with a smile, "Whether that person comes or not is up to Miss Lan herself!"

"I know, but I just want to see her wait for that person with my own eyes." Zheng Yu was so stubborn that she couldn't listen to advice at all. She gave Lan Cui a gentle smile, then stood up and said, "Besides, it's not interesting to stay at home all the time." , let’s do something different this year! Don’t worry, I will definitely be able to persuade Sun Chu to stay!”

Shopkeeper Hua's persuasion was fruitless, so he sighed quietly, the weather was so cold that he took off his outer robe, and now he couldn't help coughing twice.

Xiaowan obediently poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Shopkeeper, drink some tea."

"It will be New Year's Eve in a few days." Shopkeeper Hua took the teacup, lovingly caressed Xiaowan's delicate and lovely face, and said with emotion, "In the past, I, Xiaochong'er, and Chunlai cooked some dumpling noodles What, just live in a deserted place, this inn has never been so lively."

"People from all over the world can get together in this inn by chance to watch the New Year together and celebrate the New Year together. There should be a lot of fate here."

"Fate? Miss Lan said it really well. Indeed, this must be the 'fate' in this life, and it should be cherished all the more."

Gao Wuyue laughed heartily: "Since we are so predestined, we might as well report ourselves to see if there are any fellow villagers. I'll come first—"

While she was talking, the wild fox came down from upstairs again.

"I was born in Taiyuan Prefecture, and my relatives passed away one after another. Later, I made my home all over the world." Gao Wuyue said briefly.

The wild fox took the cup and brought a copper pot of tea from the table to the firepit, and he also sat down.

Lan Cui looked at Lin Huo and smiled softly: "My elder brother and I are from Kaifeng, but since my leg was injured, we left there and haven't been back for more than ten years."

Zheng Yu's eyes lit up: "Huh? You are also from Kaifeng? What a coincidence, we are too."

Lan Cui looked at her with a smile: "I knew it early in the morning, because your accent sounds very familiar to me."

"Kaifeng Mansion..." Shopkeeper Hua murmured with his face propped up. He stared at the half-burned charcoal in the firepit and meditated for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked Zheng Yu, "There are many famous people in Kaifeng Mansion. I heard that there is a man named Pang in the Ministry of Justice He is a native, wise and quick-witted, and has the talent of a prime minister, I wonder if he has been promoted?"

Zheng Yu smiled: "What you said is indeed a celebrity, Da Da is now serving as a censor."

Shopkeeper Hua raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Oh, Shi Yushi is amazing. Then there is Bao Zheng who solved the case with Pang Shi Yushi. Is this person also in Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Bao Zheng? I've never heard of it."

"never heard of that?"

Shopkeeper Hua looked very surprised.

After the accident, Gengsheng felt a little lost, lowered his head and muttered to himself: "Isn't Bao Heizi in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Zheng Yu asked, "What is Boss Hua talking about?"

"It's nothing. I'm just feeling... It's because we live in a corner, and we don't know anything about the personnel changes in Tokyo."

"Pfft" sounded.

Zheng Yu couldn't help laughing: "Boss Hua is so self-effacing. If he really lives in a corner and doesn't care about foreign affairs, why do he have to go to Ying Tianfu to buy flower pots? He even bought one that is so expensive."

She still clearly remembered what shopkeeper Hua said about Chunlai last night.

Shopkeeper Hua opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, the little insect next to him grabbed the conversation and laughed loudly: "What are flower pots? We also have the door god paintings from Fengxiang Mansion, bamboo tubes from Bazhou, porcelain vases from Hongzhou, etc. And so on, all the utensils of the state capitals have collected a few pieces."

Hearing this, Zheng Yu wasn't the only one who was surprised, everyone present was surprised.

Gao Wuyue was free and unrestrained, and immediately teased with a smile: "The shopkeeper is a fine person! But you are so particular, can this small shop support your expenses?"

Shopkeeper Hua smiled happily: "Who hasn't saved some private money? It's hard to buy happiness with money. If you spend nothing, you don't care about it."

Gentleman, casual, free and easy, really teach people to like.

Everyone gathered around the firepit to warm up and laughed.
