Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The battle situation on the front line of Zhennan Pass has become the most concerned matter of the entire Chu State.

    Just because the man who led the army was called Tian Wujing, and because the army under his command was called the Jingnan Army.

    The people of Chu did not dare to slack off, because the people of Jin also slacked off before, and then the state of Jin was gone.

    The princess has not been found yet, although General Li Mu of Congzhou City was ordered to lead his troops back to the frontier, it is said that Wu Zheng has also returned to Yingdu to sit in town;

    However, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the periphery continued to search for the whereabouts of the princess.

    Xiayong City is not big, one side is connected to Mengshan Mountain, and the first floor is far away from Qishan Mountain.  Pedestrians who returned home with money had to stay behind. There was also a gang called the Lard Gang.

    The Lard Gang is the name of a gang of beggars. There are about 30 or 40 gang members under it. They are all boys and girls in their teens, that is, little beggars. They got together and formed a gang.

    The name is not domineering, but it represents a yearning for a better life in the future.

    ?Because of the external closure of the city, the lard gang members who originally planned to leave Xiayong for Ju'an City at this time had to stop in Xiayong City and continue to live hard.

    Originally, their leader was thinking about the princess getting married with the eldest son of the Qu family, and helping everyone to go to Ju'an City, no matter what, they would get a few opportunities to "have fun with the people". A few full meals are a must, good luck  It's a good start to the new year, and you can still get some rewards distributed along the street.

    And this day,

    Fan Fu's funeral,

    The wife of the head of the Fan family, Wen Shi, died of illness.

    The obsequious affairs of the luxury house are naturally not trivial, and one obligatory affair is enough to alarm the entire Xiayong City.

    Under the leadership of the leader of the lard gang, the members of the lard gang deliberately took out the savings in the gang to buy a lot of coal and firewood, and burned a lot of hot water in the settlement of Anmin Lane to take a bath.

    These beggars seldom take a bath on weekdays. First, it is not so convenient to go out to ask for money and beg for food after washing too clean; second, it is cold in winter, and an extra layer of dirt on their bodies is equivalent to an extra layer of warm clothing that costs nothing.  , can not bear to wash off.

    But today is different. Although the clothes of the beggars are tattered, they are clean. They went to the gate of Fan Mansion in groups to get work. The funeral is cumbersome and there are many people who need it. Naturally, there are them.  Work, after finishing the work, you can get a bamboo stick, and you can get red seeh with the bamboo stick.

    It is also a red envelope, but it is different from the red envelopes for happy events. Fan's family is generous, so there is no shortage of this little money. For the lard gang, this is indeed a lot of gang income.

    In a mutton soup restaurant across the street from Fan's Mansion, a dirty child of about fifteen was drinking mutton soup with a seven or eight-year-old girl in his arms.

    The older children eat mutton, while the younger girls eat soup and pancakes.

    The two of them consciously sat by the window of the store. It is winter now, and the window seat is cold, and there are no people sitting there. It can also avoid disturbing other customers and make the store look more pleasing to the eye.

    There were two bamboo sticks on the table between the two of them. They were issued by Fan Mansion. The colors of bamboo sticks vary. Some of them can be exchanged for money, while others can be exchanged for a snack.

    At this moment, a group of people walked into the soup shop.

    The head is a man, dressed in a brocade robe, who looks extraordinary, beside him, there are two women and a man.

    A woman is mature and beautiful, and she becomes romantic after sitting down, another woman looks like a little maid, and there is another man who consciously sits in a corner, holding a wine bottle and drinking his own.

    Ordinary people who come to soup shops basically order a piece of mutton soup and a pancake. The pancake is considered as a set meal when ordering soup.

    Customers from better families feel that the mutton in the soup bowl is not pleasant to eat. For example, the table that just sat down ordered three bowls of mutton soup, plus two plates of cold-cut mutton, a plate of beans, and a plate of wild vegetables.  .

    In this winter, drinking mutton soup with side dishes can be described as a real enjoyment.

    Xiayong produces delicious food, because Fan Mansion is here, there are many merchants, and the proportion of wealthy people is much higher than other counties, so they are naturally more picky about food, and the crowds of visitors bring many other  Local taste needs, food also need to rely on continuous communication and collision to improve and upgrade.

    Therefore, Zheng Fan is very satisfied with the soup in this shop.

    When the shop owner came up to say hello earlier, he also said that the master of the Fan Mansion is Fan Zhengwen, and he was very kind to them. He often sent people to order food from outside the house, so this time the Fan Mansion held a funeral, and their family also sent silver gifts.

    The boss's words are true, becauseHe grabbed the gold nugget and held it in his hand.

    "Please tell me, when will I leave the city?"

    "You can leave later."

    Zheng Fan stood up,

    Xiong Liqing came over and reached out to help Zheng Fan pat the grass clippings on his trouser legs, but Zheng Fan grabbed his hand and stopped him.

    "You will be free soon." Zheng Fan said.

    Xiong Liqing said with a wry smile: "I thought I would arrange a better way, such as in a ruined temple, for example, a few more people died, I don't like this suit."

    "Not many people will like it."

    "I like the trousers with small holes on the legs that Mr. Feng wears. I heard from Mr. Feng that you like them very much. I think I can wear them for you in the future."

    "It's impossible to say that your dream will come true soon, and poke my whole body into a small hole."

    Xiong Liqing smiled and said, "I can understand that, are you afraid?"

    "A little bit, but I think it's fun." Zheng Fan said, "Actually, I didn't expect you to stay with Siniang."

    "Yes, even if I stay by your side in the future, I won't be able to make a big deal." Xiong Liqing nodded.

    Because I am a woman, I can understand women better.

    "Bon voyage, see you on Lantern Festival."

    Xiong Liqing rested her forehead on Zheng Fan's chest, rubbed her palm on Zheng Fan's chest, and said, "Wait for me."

    Later,

    The young man took Xiong Liqing away.

    Zheng Fan stood where he was, and a carriage came slowly, and Fan Zhengwen was sitting in the carriage.

    The driver is Weng Zanghai.

    Zheng Fan got into the carriage, and Fan Zhengwen smiled and said, "Uncle, are you feeling reluctant?"

    "No, it should be Brother Fan who should be reluctant."

    "Fan feels that he has made money."

    "That's good."

    The next day,

    Qu Peiluo, the eldest son of the Qu clan, personally led three thousand Qu clan's elite private soldiers into Xiayong City, and went straight to the Fan Mansion.
