chapter 4 Peach Blossom Lane

Clarence Chen, who retracted his hand and turned around to lean against the door, raised his eyebrows and looked at the man holding a big bowl and taking rice into his mouth, "What, you're envious? There's nothing you can do about envy. , Who told me to be handsome!"

The man had just swallowed the last mouthful of rice in the big bowl, and swallowed the cabbage leaves at the corner of his mouth with a slurp, "What's the use of looking good? I have a sense of security with my wife weighing more than two hundred pounds?!"

Putting the big bowl in his hand on the threshold, he wiped a handful of the soup from the corner of his mouth. The man with slightly yellow teeth grinned and said: "Boss Chen, listen to the advice of me, a veteran, you can't handle a beautiful little wife." , You, a small family member, don’t have that fate!”

"I said that girl, who is she from? Why did you blindly fall in love with this poor boy?"

The man's eyes looked back and forth on Lydia Xie, but he just skipped the places that should be skipped, and he also glanced at the places that should be stopped without leaving any trace, making it quite hidden.

Lydia Xie held up the steaming sweet potatoes that were not finished yet, and glanced at the man. There was no disgust in his eyes, but he looked curiously at this sloppy man who was destined not to be seen at home.

"Get out of here!"Clarence Chen cursed and raised his middle finger towards the man. In the past, he would have sat down and had a good time with this old boy, but today he didn't know what happened. Because of his size, he lost interest.

Clarence Chen thought that his mouth wasn't bad, but he didn't know why he always got the upper hand when quarreling with the middle-aged man in front of him. This old boy seemed to know what he was thinking, and he could say exactly what he said every time. It was fatal, but the two of them lived across the street from each other, so they often met each other, and when they met, they would inevitably have a quarrel.

Still not enough effort.

Clarence Chen gritted his teeth and shouted towards the gate over there: "Auntie, your man said that he wants to marry Widow Lee as a concubine. I want to ask you what you think!"

After hearing these words, the man who originally raised his head and pointed his nostrils at Clarence Chen's face changed slightly, and his aura suddenly weakened. He lowered his voice and said, "You bitch, you are so unkind. Be careful not to find a wife." …”

Before he finished speaking, an extremely loud voice sounded from inside the door, "Bennett Zhou, get out of here!"

Lydia Xie looked towards the man and could vaguely see a strong woman in the courtyard, holding a rolling pin in her hand.

As soon as this voice sounded, the alley burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became very cheerful.

Hearing the sound from inside the door, the man sitting on the threshold with his legs crossed looked at Clarence Chen fiercely, but still raised his voice and said indifferently: "Why do you want to marry Widow Lee? I still like Princess of liang Dynasty, no. Just holding my nose and living with a bitch like you? Why, if I can't become a prince-in-law, why don't I think about it?"

The man said this with great force, but obviously the neighbors present were not outsiders. They had already heard such words and had calluses on their ears, so they were just waiting to see the show.

Suddenly the wind picked up, and a rolling pin flew out of the yard, hitting the man on the back of the head. The man fell from the threshold with an ouch, and sat on the ground in a state of embarrassment, yelling, "You fat bitch, I I’ll hang you up and beat you later!”

At the moment when these words were said, a tall woman with an ordinary face but a strong figure had already arrived at the door with a dark face. Without saying a word, she grabbed the man by the collar and dragged him into the door.

It doesn't look like it's the first time.

There was some laughter in the alley again.

"Boy Chen, wait for me..."

The man who reluctantly entered the door snorted coldly and disappeared from Clarence Chen's sight.

Clarence Chen looked at this scene and grinned, feeling comfortable!

…

…

"It's all gone, it's all gone."

Chen Chao waved, regardless of whether the neighbors were really going to disperse, he just turned around, quickly opened the door, and walked into the small yard.

The layout of the yard is simple. Apart from a stone table, there is only a water tank covered with moss. There is a thin layer of snowflakes on the edge of the water tank. The ground is covered with snow. There are some in the gaps between the stone bricks near the eaves. The withered weeds are dormant, and it seems that after this winter, they will grow tenaciously.

"Leave far away!"

Clarence Chen grabbed a ball of snow and hit it accurately at a black wild cat under the eaves. The wild cat meowed, climbed to the roof through the pillars, turned around and glanced at Clarence Chen, and disappeared into the heavy snow. .

The girl behind him followed quietly, neither fast nor slow, always keeping a distance of about ten feet from Clarence Chen.

After watching Clarence Chen finish all this, the two of them came to the main room.

The entire yard is quite old. The paint on the wooden pillars and other items has fallen off a lot, and the exposed parts have even been eaten by insects.

Clarence Chen dragged out an old wooden chair and a bench from the main room, scratched his head, and when he was about to speak, Clarence Chen looked at Lydia Xie in front of him and walked straight towards the wooden chair, and then sat down.

"Conscious enough."Clarence Chen muttered, originally planning to let Lydia Xie sit on that bench.

But at this moment, he could only sit on the bench by himself and twist his butt. It was really uncomfortable.

"Aren't you the governor of this place? Why don't they seem to be very afraid of you?" After Lydia Xie sat down, she spoke. As she spoke, a lot of mist came out of her little mouth that had been burnt red before. .

Teach you how to set up a reading page, come and take a look!

She was looking at this boy who was completely different from the one in the ruined temple.

In the ruined temple, this young man was decisive and calm, but here, he seemed like a gangster, and his whole body was full of gangster energy.

This change made the girl find it very interesting.

Clarence Chen leaned against a pillar nearby, picked off a piece of patent leather that was about to fall off, and said nonchalantly: "If you're not afraid, then don't be afraid. What else can I do, chop them to death with a knife?"

While talking, Clarence Chen's palm kept rubbing back and forth on the handle of the broken knife.

Those calluses on the palms actually mean something.

Lydia Xie smiled and said: "Actually, depending on your ability, if you join the army and go to the north to train for a few years, you might be able to become a Military officer. In a few years..."

"In a few years, I will die in the hands of those monsters who eat people without spitting out their bones. Then the Imperial court wants to give me a pension but can't find anyone to send it to."Clarence Chen looked at me with an idiot look. The girl in front of me glanced at her and said, "Do you think I can get what I deserve even if I achieve some military exploits in that damn place?"

Lydia Xie shook her head. She naturally knew the answer to this question.

In the liang Dynasty, those who thought that if they put in the effort, they would definitely gain something, they were either stupid or stupid.

"But I'm still very curious, how did you become the guardian of this governor? Are you a commoner from a certain family in the north?"

This was a question she had been thinking about, and now she finally asked it.

However, Clarence Chen ignored her. He just leaned against the heavily painted pillar, thinking about something in a daze.

Lydia Xie glanced at the heavy snow outside, then looked away, and said somewhat seriously: "If you save my life, maybe I can give you a better future."

"If you want me to send you to the capital, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."Clarence Chen reached out to catch some snowflakes, then pressed them on his forehead, and said tiredly: "You know some things, and I can guess them too. I know a little bit, but it’s pointless to explain it all.”

After hearing this, Lydia Xie's face became a little more solemn. He looked at the young man in black in front of him. He wanted to speak several times, but finally just asked: "Where do I live?"

"There are two rooms in total. The one on the east has not been occupied for a long time. It has an old quilt and is not guaranteed to be warm. If you don't like it, bring the money and I will buy it for you later. But as we agreed, then this You can’t take things away.”

Clarence Chen rubbed his red nose, with a cunning look in his eyes.

A quilt costs nothing, but now every Gold coin is extremely important to Clarence Chen, and he is not willing to spend any money on it.

"Also, how many days do you want to stay? It doesn't matter how many days. Anyway, ten Gold coin a day will be used as your daily expenses."

"You seem to be a little greedy. Ten pieces of Gold coin can last for at least several months here."

The girl comes from a wealthy family, but that doesn't mean she is the kind of woman who asks why she doesn't eat minced meat. When she bought roasted sweet potatoes, she took out a piece of Gold coin, but the hawker searched for a long time and couldn't get enough. Supply her Daliang Tongbao.

Gold coin was a currency circulated in the liang Dynasty, but this kind of coins was more circulated among wealthy households and practitioners. The people living at the bottom of the liang Dynasty used copper plates engraved with the four characters of Daliang Tongbao for daily use.

One Gold coin is enough to exchange for a hundred Daliang Tongbao.

"You're a small family, don't you just want to make some money?"

Chen Chao was smiling all over his face, looking like a common man.

Hearing the words "small door and small household", Lydia Xie recalled for no reason the previous conversation between Clarence Chen and the man at the door.

If those words were heard by those scholars who taught her the principles of saints and virtues, I am afraid they would be angry and cursed with vulgarity. However, she had never heard these words before, but she did not feel any disgust at all, but she could not say that she liked them.

"I don't mind it. As for daily expenses, one Gold coin a day."

She didn't even realize that she seemed to have a closer relationship with this boy.

Her thoughts were more on this mysterious young man in black.

But curiosity often leads to some unexpected things.

It's getting late.

Lydia Xie walked towards the east house, while Clarence Chen looked at her from under the eaves.

Not long after, Lydia Xie crossed over and returned, throwing a money bag far away.

"Go buy a quilt, here's the money."
