"Isn't it that people feel refreshed on happy occasions?"

Shopkeeper Wang smiled and stroked the dregs of his beard, leaned over to look at the stinky tofu in the oil pan, and took a deep breath, "Your taste is good."

Ma Yu, who had just finished working next to him, immediately turned dark when he heard this, and Yao Yanqing coughed, "The shopkeeper Wang said that this skewer tastes good?"

"Then what else?" Shopkeeper Wang looked at him puzzled, "Could it be that I will say you taste good? I don't eat Ren."

Ma Yu, who was so jealous, looked better now, "I don't know where the treasurer Wang is happy, can we have a wedding?"

"Yes, yes," Shopkeeper Wang smiled again, with his hands behind his back, smiling eyes, and a clear voice, "Qing Lin is getting married, and the date is still being discussed, and I will tell you when it is settled."

Liu Qinglin is getting married?

Yao Yan and Ma Yu looked at each other with surprise in their eyes, but they didn't hear any news.

"I don't know the girl from the He family that Young Master Liu has chosen?"

Yao Yan hesitated for a while, but still asked.

Shopkeeper Wang took a deep look at him, "It's not Qinglin who asked for it, but the other party invited someone to come to kiss him."

Without saying anything else, I returned to Buzhuang with the fried stinky tofu.

"Did Liu Qinglin's marriage be agreed by himself or by his family?" Seeing that the group had no guests, Yao Yan simply sat aside with Ma Yu and muttered.

Ma Yu touched his chin and guessed without thinking, "It should be decided by the elders. After all, Li Ting's matter is there. The Liu family is also worried, and they are even more afraid that they will break up. Someone will come to propose marriage. If it's a girl from a good family , the Liu family is naturally willing to get married."

Yao Yan also felt that what Ma Yu said was reasonable, but when he thought of Liu Qinglin's eyes without haze, he couldn't feel happy at all.

On the third day, Liu Qinglin came again, and the two were still following behind him. Liu Qinglin looked pretty good, with a rosy face and a smile on his lips, "My lantern is already done, and I'm just waiting for the Lantern Festival."

"Young Master Liu is really fast," Yao Yan boasted, and Liu Qinglin smiled even more happily.

"I have nothing to do at home, so it will be fast, the little shopkeeper is very busy here, I am afraid that I have time to make lights at night, so naturally it will be slower."

After finishing speaking, he paused again, "But as the saying goes, slow work produces meticulous work, and the lantern of the little shopkeeper must be very beautiful."

These words were full of reassurance, and Yao Yan's heart softened when he heard it, "Mr. Liu's lanterns must be beautiful too. On the Lantern Festival, let's go to the river to put the lanterns together?"

"Okay," Liu Qinglin looked at the meat skewers in the frying pan, blinked his eyes, and nodded.

As Liu Qinglin said, both Yao Yan and Ma Yu’s lanterns will be made at night when they are free. Yao Yan’s is a horse lantern, and Ma Yu’s is a beauty lantern. The beauties on the lanterns are drawn by himself. , the appearance is naturally according to Yao Yan's drawing.

Ma Yu is a sculptor, so his painting skills are naturally not bad. Yao Yan's appearance is [-]% similar after the lamp is lit, and Yao Yan likes it more and more.

"If you propose to go to the Lantern Festival like this, won't everyone see my appearance as a woman?"

Yao Yan joked.

Ma Yu shook his head, "Of course I won't show it to them, and I won't propose to put the lamp on."

"Where do you put the lights?"

Ma Yu leaned beside Yao Yan's ear, with a low voice, "I hang it in the room, watch it every day, and admire it every night."

"...Bah!" Yao Yan pushed away his face that was getting closer, and cursed with a blushing face, "Shameless."

"Is face important?" Ma Yu touched his face in doubt, "You are more important."

Yao Yan really felt that Ma Yu's face was getting thicker and thicker, he lost one and there were many more.

When it came to the Lantern Festival, Yao Yan waited for Liu Qinglin to eat meat skewers as promised, but he hadn't seen him for a long time. Then he saw that the cloth shop opposite was open, so he went directly to ask Xiaoding, who knew what Xiaoding said.

"Mr. Liu was picked up by his fiancée to the county town to celebrate the Lantern Festival. He left in the morning and won't be coming back today."

Picked up?

Yao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Did Mr. Liu go alone?"

"Of course not, there is a relative with me, a girl who is the same age as Mr. Liu, so the three of them will not be awkward to get along with each other," Xiao Ding replied with great experience.

Yao Yan couldn't say he was disappointed, but he was a little worried, because Liu Qinglin was pure in nature, and the other party was a girl from a big family. Naturally, the family had checked her, even Li Ting...

"What you've been thinking about, the Liu family and Shopkeeper Wang have naturally thought about it too, and they've already thought it through clearly if they can hand over the person to each other," Ma Yu said after he came back and heard about Liu Qinglin's going to the county seat.

"I was worrying too much," Yao Yan chuckled, and looked up at Ma Yu, "In this case, let's close the shop for half an hour today."

"Success," Ma Yu naturally listened to Yao Yan.

The Lantern Festival is naturally lively. There are a lot of people on the street. Children who can walk are led, and those who cannot walk are hugged. Half-grown children gather together and play with small lanterns in the crowd, but they are not out of line. influence the others.

Girls who seldom go out in the street in the past, wearing veils, carrying exquisite homemade lanterns, smiling and chatting with their friends in low voices, or seeing other girls’ beautiful lanterns, or mentioning the beauty of other girls. Beautiful beaded hairpin.

The teenagers were also very excited. Rather than coming out to set off lanterns and guess lantern riddles, it would be better to say they secretly looked at the girls. Among them were their fiancées and their favorite objects. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so naturally they didn't want to let it go. Pass.

Occasionally, when a pair of boys and girls who have already made up their minds look at each other, they can blush for a long time.

Yao Yan and Ma Yu sat by the bridge, watching the scenes on the street, their hands were clasped together in the dark, Ma Yu held it very tightly, Yao Yan secretly picked his palm with his fingers , but Ma Yu said, "I'll go back and deal with you later."

Yao Yan: ...

He really deserves to be cleaned up.

When the lantern was released, Yao Yan closed his eyes and put his hands together to make a wish.

Ma Yu looked down at his profile and smiled.

This scene was seen by a couple who came late. The woman was taken aback, but her husband pulled her to the other side, "Ma'am, please look at me more."

After setting off the lanterns and going home, Yao Yan was tidied up, and he couldn't set up a stall the next morning, and Ma Yu received all the guests.

After angrily eating two large bowls of rice, Yao Yan touched his round belly, sat on the recliner contentedly watching someone clean up the bowls and chopsticks, "Clean it up."

"That's that, don't worry, shopkeeper," Ma Yu nodded repeatedly.

Seeing him like that, Yao Yan calmed down even more. He snorted softly, and just about to say something, he saw a familiar old man walking by the door of the shop, "Father?"

But it's Uncle Ma.

Uncle Ma carried a big basket on his back, and entered the shop with a smile, "I picked some food for you, and there are two pieces of bacon."

Yao Yan got up, and Ma Yu hurriedly went to pick up the basket. It was not light, but it was the kindness of his father, so he couldn't say too much, "You came here on foot, right? For such a heavy thing, carefully move your waist."

Uncle Ma waved his hand, "I really didn't come here on foot, I drove an ox cart, so I just walked a little way from the gate of the town, it's okay."

"Father, eat," Yao Yan took out a new pair of bowls and chopsticks, Uncle Ma shook his head, "I've eaten, I'm here for the new foundation, the village chief said that to buy the foundation, he had to buy the small wasteland next to him. It’s included, so it’s considered superior, and it’s cheaper, no, let me ask you what you think.”

The little wasteland next to it?

Yao Yan and Ma Yu thought about it for a while, and finally decided to buy it together. Uncle Ma hurried to go back after getting the confirmation. Ma Yu sent people to the gate of the town, put the bought things into the back basket, and went up with Uncle Ma. The bullock cart returns to the village.

When he arrived in the village, he was carrying a basket on his back, and Uncle Ma was behind him empty-handed. After returning home to put away his things, he went to the village chief to lay down the foundation.

Then back to town.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the shop, he saw many people surrounding Yao Yan.

"I bought it and ate it, but the taste is far inferior to the ones at your stall," said a man shaking his head.

"No," the woman next to her also nodded, "I don't know what kind of oil to use, the smell of frying is not very good."

After Ma Yu went over and listened for a while, he realized that someone on the East Street was also pushing a stall selling fried skewers.

"It's not a problem, business, everyone can do it," Yao Yan smiled, not angry at all, seeing Ma Yu standing behind others, shouted at him, "I'm back!"

"Ah," Ma Yuqing coughed, and walked to Yao Yan's side to help fry the skewers. Yao Yan was able to rest for a while, so he sat aside and talked with those people for a while. After everyone saw that he was really not angry, they did one by one. leave.

"The foundation has been bought, and I will go to the house in a few days," Ma Yu said after wiping the boards on the booth and coming to him.

"What is that wasteland going to do?"

Yao Yan asked.

Ma Yu didn't think about it for a while, so he shook his head, Yao Yan thought about it, "Chickens, ducks and rabbits can be raised in the wasteland, and if you raise two big dogs, you won't be afraid to make people think about it."

In addition, it is close to the foundation, so everyone knows what troubles there are.

"It's okay, so the smell of the yard will not be so strong," Ma Yu thought it would be fine.

So the two talked for a long time around the topic of raising poultry in the wasteland.

When the shop was about to close, shopkeeper Wang came over beaming, first gave them a handful of candy, and then said, "My brother-in-law's date has been fixed, it will be the second day of next month, you should come and have a drink."

The second day of next month?Now it's the end of the month, isn't that a few days' work?

Before giving them any time to be surprised, shopkeeper Wang went to the next one.

Looking at the candy in his hand, Yao Yan sighed slightly, "If Li Ting knows..."

"He dare not do anything."

Ma Yu shook his head.

Yao Yan sighed again, but he was also curious about what kind of person that girl was.

Liu Qinglin's wedding was very lively, but what was surprising was that Liu Qinglin didn't ride a horse to welcome her, but sat in a sedan chair, as if she was getting married.

Regarding the guests' astonishment, the Liu family only said that it was because of Liu Qinglin's body. Among the people who came to pick up the bride, one was wearing a red dress and riding a fine horse beside the sedan chair.

And this person was very familiar, Yao Yan stared at it for a long time without remembering it, but Ma Yu recognized it immediately, he was very shocked, "Isn't that... Wu Yuanwai?"

Yao Yan suddenly thought of the person standing behind Butler Wu that day, it wasn't that!

Looking at the faces of Liu's family and shopkeeper Wang and his wife, they were indeed a little stiff, completely different from the smiles they had when they announced the good news that day.

"Who is that person?"

"I heard that the woman came to pick up the bride. Is it a relative of the woman?"

"Then you shouldn't be wearing red and riding a horse next to the sedan chair. It's awkward no matter how you look at it."

The guests were also talking about it, but soon the stage was set up, and the eyes of the guests were drawn away.

No further discussion.

Yao Yan secretly glanced at Mrs. Liu, whose eyes were a little red and swollen, and said to Ma Yu, "Does this feel like being cheated into marriage?"

The originally delicate and delicate daughter-in-law became a son-in-law?

It's not right, it shouldn't be called son-in-law, but it's not right to be called uncle.

Originally they were just guessing, but a few days later when they went to the county to purchase seasonings, they saw Wu Yuanwai and Liu Qinglin in the snack bar.

Liu Qinglin held a large amount of meat skewers in his hand, and his mouth was full of greasy food. He looked very satisfied and didn't look like he was suffering. After seeing Yao Yan and the others, he rushed over like a happy bird.

"Little shopkeeper! I thought I would never be able to eat your meat skewers again when I came to the county, but I didn't expect to have them here," Liu Qinglin said.

Wu Yuanwai was dressed in ordinary clothes, and his appearance was not outstanding, so he looked ordinary. However, Yao Yan, who knew his identity, felt that his ordinary appearance was beginning to be extraordinary, and his every move was filled with emotion. Big guy breath.

"I'm the host, you two, please don't refuse." Member Wu smiled and looked at Liu Qinglin who became more and more happy after hearing the words, "Qinglin, how about we invite the shopkeeper and the others to eat herbal diet?"

Liu Qinglin's eyes lit up, "Okay."

The medicinal food is exactly the prescription Yao Yan gave, but the name has been changed, but the taste is the same.

During the meal, Wu Yuanwai took great care of Liu Qinglin, and he didn't show any signs of impatience. When Wu Yuanwai got up to go out, Yao Yan asked Liu Qinglin how he was doing after getting married, and Liu Qinglin looked at him very seriously and said.

"I thought I was the happiest when I was with Li Ting, but at that time I was always crying, and my parents, sisters and brothers-in-law were also unhappy, but after being with Yuan Shan, even though it hurt at night, he was better than my father. Mother is still kind to me, and takes me to eat delicious food every day, and I haven't cried all day."

Of course, the occasional crying at night does not count.

Liu Qinglin felt a little guilty and skipped it.

After Yao Yan learned that he was doing well, he didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't even ask who Yuanshan was. What they didn't know was that Wu Yuanwai, that is, Wu Yuanshan, was standing at the door of the room. After listening to the little guy's answer, he slightly hook lips.

He was also very satisfied with Yao Yan's behavior of not asking more questions.

Butler Wu not far away came over respectfully, "Master."

"What happened to the Zhang family?"

"Evidence has been obtained."

"Finish it as soon as possible, Qinglin likes this little shopkeeper very much," Wu Yuanshan saw Yao Yan and the others for the first time, and he saw that their relationship was unusual, so naturally he didn't mind how close Yao Yan and Liu Qinglin were.

"Yes."

Yao Yan, who was told by the system that Wu Yuanshan had listened to the corner for a while, was speechless, "It's already midnight, so you just told me, what's the point?"

"It's better than not telling."

Yao Yan rolled his eyes, nestled in Ma Yu's arms and continued to sleep.

But when they left the inn the next day, they saw Li Ting waiting for them at the door.

Li Ting looked haggard and lost a lot of weight. He came here specially to find them.

"Yesterday, I saw you outside the snack building. I was just about to come up to say hello, when I saw you..."

Thinking of yesterday's scene, Li Ting only felt heartache unbearable, "I did it myself, I deserve it."

Yao Yan and Ma Yu didn't know how to answer the conversation, and the scene was a bit awkward.

Li Ting didn't think so, he even asked Yao Yan and the others, how was Wu Yuanshan treating Liu Qinglin?

Nature is good.

After learning the result, Li Ting couldn't even laugh, but he still asked Ma Yu to bring some things back to Li's family.

In the county town, I met Li Ting, who couldn't smile, and when I returned to the town, I met shopkeeper Wang, whose smile was uglier than crying.

"Treasurer Wang, what's the matter with you?"

asked someone else.

Shopkeeper Wang sniffed, thinking of the man's warning, he could only force himself to smile, "It's nothing, thinking of my brother-in-law's happy marriage, I can't help being happy for him."

I wish I could beat the opponent to death, but if I can't beat him, the reporter is afraid that if I don't say anything, my family will suffer. Such a bad thing, who would have thought that it would be changed in the end?

"Look at you as a brother-in-law, just like a father."

Others laughed.

Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help crying again.

Seeing the change in his face, Yao Yan held back a smile, "Speaking of which, Brother Ma and I went to the county seat yesterday and met Young Master Liu. He is doing well, his face is flushed, and his body looks much better than before."

Hearing this, shopkeeper Wang felt less indignant, "That's natural, if he hadn't been able to hire a powerful doctor, we wouldn't have compromised..."

Those last two words were spoken only for himself to hear.

"Is he alone?"

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly asked again after recovering.

"There's one more person," Ma Yu deliberately put on a thoughtful face, making shopkeeper Wang terrified, but then remembered what the other party had promised them, so he shouldn't go against it so soon.

"That must be the guard he brought."

Wu Yuanshan did not say that he was Liu Qinglin's guard, but that he was Liu Qinglin's housekeeper.

"It doesn't look like it at all," Ma Yu shook his head.

Shopkeeper Wang broke out in a cold sweat, "Then who do you look like?"

"Like his butler," Ma Yu said, and shopkeeper Wang felt as light as a swallow.

"That's it. Qinglin's wife and his wife's family have tens of millions of wealth. They are not just a small housekeeper. In the future, they will definitely be surrounded by people one after another."

"That's really a blessing," said Ma Yuzan.

Shopkeeper Wang forced a smile.

After he left, Yao Yan looked at Ma Yu, "Why are you always teasing him?"

"Bully guys, now that they are being eaten to death, I naturally want to tease them," Ma Yu chuckled.

Then Ma Yu went back to the village, handed over the things entrusted by Li Ting to the Li family, and took the village head to the town, registered the base, and invited him to the shop for some wine and food After that, he and Yao Yan sent him back to the village, and stayed at home at night by the way.

Uncle Ma and Tiejiang Wen are in a very good mood these days, and there is nothing wrong with their bodies. They seem to be getting healthier, especially Tiejiang Wen, whose legs can't be better.

Just at this time, Mrs. Wen approached Ma Yu sickly, "I want to see him."

"What are you doing seeing Dad?"

Ma Yu asked.

"...I don't have any money, I'm sick, and I'm about to die," cried Mrs. Wen.

"Where's your son?"

"My son still has to support his family with that little money," Mrs. Wen's eyes shifted, and Ma Yu knew what was going on when he saw her like this.

"Really? It just so happens that my father's leg hasn't healed yet, and he also caught the wind and cold today. You two have a care together, but we don't have much money in our hands. Why don't you take it together and let you take care of it?" Are you raising your son?"

"You, you white-eyed wolf!" Mrs. Wen stared wide-eyed, "You promised to give him a pension until the end of his life! Now you want my son to take care of him? My son didn't get anything!"

"Do you still remember?" Yao Yan threw away the spoon and looked at her with a cold face, "At the beginning you distributed so much money, did we say something wrong about you? Now that you are sick, go here and say I don’t have any money for us to take care of, are you dreaming too much?”

"Didn't you say that your son was so promising? How could such a promising person have the nerve to let his old lady come here to cheat money? I would like to report to the police and ask if such a son of man can be imprisoned." After eating in prison, come out and learn how to be a dutiful son!"

Mrs. Wen was so stunned that she was speechless and left in despair.

In fact, they were right. After the son of Mrs. Wen learned that Yao Yan's food stall was doing well, he wanted them to give him the blacksmith shop. Anyway, they also had other livelihoods. They didn't want Yao Yan and the others to be soft. Persimmon, can only give up.

Three days later, Butler Wu came to the door in person and delivered a letter from the Zhang family's city, "He has already obeyed the law, maybe he has done all the bad things, and he has no heirs."

This is to tell them that there will be no other grievances.

As for the truth of the matter, it became clear when Yao Yan got the points rewarded by the system.

"In addition, we want to ask Master Ma to carve a picture of a hundred birds. You don't need a mechanism, but the picture is enough."

Liu Qinglin loves birds the most.

It was not surprising that Wu Yuanshan knew the identity of Ma Yu's family, so Ma Yu naturally agreed.

The mountain that had been pressing down on the Ma family for many years disappeared.

After reading the letter, Uncle Ma burst into tears on the spot, and it took three full days to calm down. As Yao Yan thought, Uncle Ma was relieved of his heart problems, and he became more energetic.

"We can't offend Mr. Wu. If anyone persecutes us in the future, we can have a way out."

Yao Yan looked at Ma Yu who was carving, and said softly.

Ma Yu nodded upon hearing this, "But even if Wu Yuanwai can't help us, we still have a way out."

Uncle Ma was not at ease, he had already sent an urgent letter to a friend he hadn’t seen for many years, and the other party also replied to the urgent letter, telling him that the matter was true, and that many customers from that year were looking for him, asking for a good work, Uncle Ma Taking the opportunity to launch Ma Yu can be regarded as allowing Ma Yu to take over his previous circle.

"My reputation has spread, even if someone forces me, I can fight back," Uncle Ma stopped and looked at Yao Yan, "A carving with all the traps is enough to drive all the carvers crazy, and this is just a carver , no one dared to touch us."

At this time, Ma Yu was in high spirits, like a king who had been unsealed.

Yao Yan was thoughtful, the reason why Uncle Ma and the others were killed in the book was because they didn't dare to show their traces back then. Naturally, no one knew how good Uncle Ma and even Ma Yu's skills were.

"I don't care, it's mine if I make money."

Yao Yan said fiercely.

"Your, it's all yours, including me." Ma Yu washed his hands, came to hug him and said affectionately.
