    The sun is gradually rising, and shops everywhere are starting to open.  Even in the open space beside the street, some food stalls have been set up one after another.  Although Lianshan Town is not very big, the streets paved with bluestones are slightly narrow, and the roads are bumpy and uneven. The buildings on both sides are old wooden houses, which look a bit old.  "But because it is located at the junction of Chunan and Yuexi, it is a thoroughfare of water and land. Goods going south and north inevitably have to pass through here, so the market has always been extremely prosperous.  The entire Lianshan Town is evenly divided by two main streets running east-west and north-south. The rest are some small alleys. If you can look down from the air, the entire Lianshan Town looks like a rice cake cut into four parts.  Third uncle¡¯s teahouse is right in the middle of the rice cakes, while Aunt Han¡¯s tailor shop is on the edge of the rice cakes. It is at the east corner of the east-west street, and its location is very good.  Anyone who enters the town from the east will see a plaque at first sight. Although the color is mottled by wind and rain, it can still be clearly seen that the words "Han's Inn" are written on it.  In a side room next to the inn is Aunt Han¡¯s tailor shop.  There are already a lot of people on the street, and various voices of bargaining are gradually filling my ears. Whether it is the accent of Yuexi, the accent of Chunan, or even the dialects of Yanbei and Jiangnan, there are also many people here.  Can be heard.  Sometimes if you are lucky, you can even see herdsmen coming from the grasslands, or barbarians coming from the mountains in the south. Although their language may not be understandable, the townspeople in Lianshan Town will be honest and hospitable.  Do business with them politely and never do anything to bully foreigners.  A donkey that needed a beating kept sneezing at Li Mu. Seeing the donkey owner's apologetic smile, Li Mu had no choice but to avoid the donkey and quickly ran along the street.  Soon we arrived at the tailor shop.  ¡°Perhaps because it was early in the morning, there were not many customers in the tailor shop. A beautiful middle-aged woman who still retained her charm was sitting behind the counter doing needlework. She was the proprietress of the tailor shop, Aunt Han.  Aunt Han behind the counter, although she is wearing a sarong and has some traces of time etched on her face, the peaceful aura that naturally exudes still has a charm that is different from that of ordinary people in the town.  Every time he sees Aunt Han, Li Mu always reminds Li Mu of his mother.  According to the gossip revealed by Mr. Xilou Jiumeng, Aunt Han¡¯s original name was Su Hanzhi, and her ancestors actually came from a scholarly family. Her father once served as a fourth-rank noble official in the court, but later he offended the powerful officials of the court for unknown reasons and was forced to become an official.  When he passed through Lianshan Town on his way back to his hometown, he unfortunately got sick and soon gave up and returned to the west.  Before she died, she was helpless and hoped to find someone to take good care of her daughter, so she entrusted Aunt Han to Han Dagui, the kind and honest young shopkeeper of the Han Family Inn who had always taken good care of her family. This finally solved her worries.  Unfortunately, I do n¡¯t know if it ¡¯s jealous, or Han Da Gui married such a talented woman, and did n¡¯t suffer. After more than ten years of marriage, he had a serious illness.  It is said that Han Dagui held Aunt Han's hand before he died and said with a smile that the happiest thing in his life was marrying a well-educated and sensible woman like Aunt Han. The happiest thing was having a son and a daughter with Aunt Han. The son was strong.  My daughter is beautiful and charming.  If you don¡¯t lack your own sex and have endless heirs, what does it matter if your life span is shortened by several decades?  Han Dagui felt that he could hold his chest high and go underground to meet his ancestors.  This incident was rumored in Lianshan Town. While the daughters-in-law of various families were envious of Aunt Han, they would inevitably shed tears at home and teach their men - Why should you be content with your blessings after marrying a virtuous wife like yourself?  For a time, the number of wives under strict control of wives in Lianshan Town increased significantly.  But no matter what, it¡¯s not appropriate for a woman¡¯s family to open an inn.  So shortly after Han Dagui's death, Aunt Han rented out the inn, and opened a tailor shop in a side room next to the inn. She didn't expect to earn much money, but at least she could pass some time, and occasionally  Being able to chat about daily life with the women in the town.  "I don't know how Mr. Xilou knows so much. It seems that there is nothing in the entire Lianshan Town that he doesn't know. Isn't it true that this guy is the reincarnation of a rat spirit as the third uncle said?" Li Mu  While muttering to himself, he raised his legs and crossed the threshold of the tailor shop.  "Aunt Han, I need to buy two sets of blouses and a pair of cloth shoes here. The size is similar to the ones my third uncle wears, but he is a little stronger than his third uncle. Do you have any ready-made ones here?" Li Mu had just entered the store with his front feet.  He shouted loudly, which frightened Mrs. Han.His hand trembled and he accidentally pricked his finger with a needle.  Aunt Han raised her head, glared at Li Mu with some annoyance, then put down what she was doing, stood up, and was about to teach him a lesson. She was so old, and yet she had been borrowing and reading her own books all day long.  After learning so much, apart from becoming more articulate, I have not learned to be calm at all.  "Mu Qoda, why are you free to come here today? Isn't today the day for Mr. Xilou's little rat spirit to tell stories? You are actually willing to run out. It seems that my girl's charm is getting bigger and bigger, hehe"  Before Aunt Han could speak, there were footsteps on the stairs, and then a string of silver bell-like sounds floated down.  "Please, Cuicui, you should call me Brother Li. Even if you don't want to, you should call me Brother Mu instead of some wooden lump, okay?" As soon as he heard this voice, Li Mu leaned against the door frame with a look of helplessness.  , covering his forehead with his hand, looking like he really hoped to faint quickly.  Then he stretched out his right arm, with a tragic look on his face, as if he was about to be beheaded in the execution ground.  But there was a hint of doting smile in his eyes and he said: "Also, can you change your lines? It's because of your infinite charm that every time I don't see you, it feels like three autumns have passed since I last saw you. As a big girl, you can't  Be more reserved?" As soon as he said these words, the sound of footsteps became more urgent.  Suddenly, an emerald green figure appeared on the stairs, and then floated over very quickly. Before Li Mu could react, there was already severe pain in his arm.  A girl wearing an emerald green shirt, with a simple girlish bun, and beautiful almond-shaped eyes suddenly stood in front of Li Mu, and put her hand on Li Mu's arm with a gentle look on her face.  Looking at the young girl who was as beautiful as water and pretending to be innocent, even though Li Mu had expected it, he still found it hard to believe that it was her, Aunt Han's beloved daughter, Miss Han Jincui, who had poisoned his arm just now.  Since it¡¯s hard to believe even yourself, there¡¯s no way to seek justice. It¡¯s not the first time anyway.  Seeing her daughter bullying Li Mu, Aunt Han looked helpless, but there was a hint of smile in her eyes.  Back then, I was not as happy as my daughter. Although I grew up in an official family and had no worries about food and clothing, I spent every day either in front of a book, in an empty courtyard, or working as a female celebrity.  "Huh, just teach me a lesson. You still owe me a lot of stories! You promised before that as long as Mr. Xilou's dead rat tells stories, you will tell them to me." Han Jincui rubbed it gently.  Li Mu's arm was pinched, and he told his reasons without showing any signs of weakness, "Now you owe me five games, do you know, five games." With the crisp voice, a white and tender bird appeared.  His small hand, with five spring-like fingers spread out, was waving in front of Li Mu's eyes, as if declaring the authority of his creditor.  Seeing Li Mu's sarcastic expression, looking like he was about to open his mouth to explain, Han Jincui raised her eyebrows, curled her lips and said, "Don't think that if I don't go to the library, you won't know when Mr. Xilou's damn rat will come.  I just need to look at the flow of people on the street to know when he will come out of the mouse hole. " "Yes, yes," Li Mu responded quickly, "Miss Cuicui is infinitely charming, and I have admired her for a long time.  I wish I could be by my side every day to help the girl solve her problems. " Seeing Han Jincui's bright almond eyes slowly curling up, Li Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued with a grimace: "But I am so busy with worldly affairs today that I can't help myself.  Cuicui also doesn¡¯t want your elder brother Li to die under the scorn of Third Uncle. Can you please wait for a few days and tell Cuicui again when you can find time? " Since Shengfei has been caught,  Holding one's neck stiff is not the behavior of a wise man.  Young Master Li prides himself on being a smart man, so it is only natural that he immediately surrenders. What he said was so sincere that he almost burst into tears.  "Humph, now you know that this girl is infinitely charming? Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense next time, hehe" Seeing Li Mu's appearance, Han Jincui raised his fist proudly.  Then he waved his hand and said magnanimously: "Well, for the sake of our acquaintance, I don't think much of it, so I'll give you a few days of grace." After saying this, Li Mu knew  Things will definitely not go away that easily. I saw Han Jincui imitating the behavior of a big creditor, pacing back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, his dark eyes moving twice Li Mu suddenly shouted in his heart that something was wrong,  Sure enough, Han Jincui stopped and continued: "It's just that, you see that this girl is so magnanimous and doesn't care about the sins you have taught me before. Shouldn't you show something?" "How should you show it?  Ah? I'm on your chopping board now.Meat, if you want to kill or cut into pieces, please give me a guarantee.  "Li Mu felt like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, and said with a weak look on his face. He just hoped that the little girl wouldn't be too cruel. A happy smile flashed in Han Jincui's eyes, and he said in a pretentious tone: "Let's do this.  For a fixed price, I will grant you five days' grace. You only need to pay me back seven times with interest.  " After saying that, Han Jincui stretched out a small hand and waved it in front of Li Mu's eyes out of habit. Feeling something was wrong, he stretched out two fingers of his left hand and put them in front of Li Mu's eyes. "Why don't you go to loan sharks?  It¡¯s 40% interest in five days. Isn¡¯t this too dark?  "Resisting the urge to take a bite on a few white and tender fingers, Li Mu said expressionlessly, and then stretched out his thumb and little finger, "One price, six games, more, I'm a hero.  Bones are clanking, I would rather die than surrender.  " "Tch, I would rather die than surrender!  This girl is not a mountain king trying to overpower the wife of the village.  "Han Jincui wrinkled his small nose with disdain on his face. It seemed that he was led astray by the Huanglong Gang leader and others. "You are still a hero, but you are so stingy. You can just use a prawn, or a big one made of wood.  shrimp.  " Seeing that the blackmail failed, Han Jincui couldn't help but look embarrassed, but in a flash he became happy again. He stuck out his tongue and made a face at Li Mu, and said: "Okay, six games will be six games, hehe, one more.  Field, so happy.  " Seeing Han Jincui cheering for joy in the blink of an eye, Li Mu knew that he had been deceived by this little girl again. "The strange thing is that he didn't feel unhappy at all. Instead, looking at that pure and narcissus-like smiling face, he felt inexplicably  "Okay, you are the best, I have other things to do, so I won't play with you anymore.  "Li Mu lovingly stretched out his hand and grabbed Han Jincui's small nose, twisting it slightly, but was slapped away. After sniffing, Han Jincui was still about to speak, but he saw Aunt Han holding two sets of cotton clothes.  , and a pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes, came over and handed them to Li Mu. Then he touched the ends of Han Jincui's hair and said to Li Mu with a chuckle: "This girl has been spoiled by me and her elder brother. Ever since she  After my eldest brother was drafted into the army the year before last, it was heartbreaking to see him alone and alone.  After getting to know you, and now being spoiled by you, I know that I bully you all day long, and I am a little worried that it will be difficult to find a husband in the future.  "No, no one is bullying him."  Right?  Brother Li.  "Sure enough, he is a smart man. He is Brother Li when he needs it, and he is a pimple when he is blackmailing. Looking at the small hand with five fingers spread out in front of him, Li Mu has no doubt that if he dares to say the word "wrong", the other hand will immediately  Two fingers appeared in front of him. Forced by the little girl's power, Li Mu had no choice but to smile and said: "No, no, Cuicui is my sister, innocent and cute, we are just playing around, there is no way.  Bullied.  " At the same time, I kept comforting myself. A man can bend and stretch, so he doesn't need to be as experienced as a little girl. "Seven games" After a crisp voice sounded, Li Mu was dumbfounded. Five fingers plus two fingers, it should be seven.  ? Li Mu was a little unsure, and after careful calculation, he felt that he was not wrong. Then he wiped his eyes, worried that he had not slept well yesterday. Yes, every one of the seven fingers was white.  They are just like freshly peeled green onions, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. But he clearly refused to admit that he was bullied, so why did he change his mind again in the blink of an eye? Li Mu looked at Han Jincui in confusion, and the little girl turned pale with hatred.  After taking a look at herself, she turned around and went up the stairs. However, Aunt Han glanced at her daughter's back, then looked at Li Mu who looked puzzled in front of her. She took the silver coins from his hand with a smile, turned back to the counter, and took out a pair of scissors.  , he cut off a small piece of silver from the silver, about two cents, and handed it back to Li Mu. "Okay, everything is ready. You should go back quickly. Auntie doesn't want you to do it."  I'll be drowned in your third uncle's saliva.  "Aunt Han covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Be careful on the road.  " As expected, he comes from a scholarly family, and he smiles without showing his teeth. He is nothing like that dead girl Han Jincui, whose temper is inexplicable. Li Mu said goodbye to Aunt Han, turned the corner of the house and came to the street, and saw two people standing across the street.  The veiled knight holding the horse looked at him, and couldn't help but look at it a little strangely. Then he turned and made a face at the second-floor window, and walked away proudly.  There was nothing, but Li Mu knew that Han Jincui must be hiding behind the window and looking at him. "Dead wood, rotten wood, I'm so angry. The price has increased. The price has increased. Eight."??, it must be eight games.  "Han Jincui, who was behind the window, rolled his eyes in anger, then stamped his feet bitterly, stretched out his two little hands in front of his eyes, and considered whether he needed to retract two of the fingers. "Frowning her delicate brows, the little girl  After hesitating for a while, he probably felt that his interest rate today was already high enough, so he finally bent his index finger and thumb on his right hand. "Eight games, huh, one less is not enough" Han Jincui looked at the eight games in front of him.  A white and tender finger strengthened his determination.
