The few stars are dim, the sound of water is old, and the lights of hundreds of houses in Moon City are old.

The drum sounds at the third watch.

Shen Xiaojia was humming an unknown ditty and swinging on the swing in the backyard of Zuiyue Tower. He held an embroidery needle in his hand and a piece of red cloth on his leg, with half a 囍 prominently displayed on it.

Lao Qu also walked over from the lobby of Zuiyue Tower humming a little tune, shaking his head and picking his teeth with a bamboo stick, his face flushed and his eyes blurred.

When Shen Xiaojia saw Lao Qu coming over, he hurriedly hid the red cloth in his arms, tilted his head and said, "Hey, I'm in a good mood. It seems that Huang Siniang has taught you many loving gestures, and I'll show you to my master.

, how do you say um, ah, ouch in such a rhythm!"

"You're in a good mood," Laoqu spit out a small piece of meat picked from between his teeth, let out a long wine burp, and said with a smile, "It seems that you have a great date with Miss Yunqiao today.

It's going well. I'm riding a little old car with my sweetheart, I'm very proud of it! It took more than two hours to get from Yanyu Tower to the city gate, and earthworms can crawl faster than you!"

"Are you following me?"

"I thought too much. I was just passing by. Later, I couldn't stand it any longer, so I went to the house I bought with me to drink and chat..."

"Tsk, tsk, I brought them all home..." Shen Xiaojia cleared his throat and suddenly said seriously, "Old Qu, I have something big to talk about!"

But at this moment, Lao Qu put away the drunkenness on his face, stood up straight, stared at Shen Xiaojia with burning eyes and said, "Xiaojia, I have something important to say!"

"Then let's talk first. There is order between elders and younger ones."

"No, no, no, you speak first, first come, first served. You are the first to say it."

"You tell me first, and I'll work on my emotions."

"You speak first, and I'll sort out the wording..."

"Then why don't we talk about it together!"

"Okay, okay, I'll count to three, two, and one, and let's talk about it together!"

"three……"

As soon as the three words were spoken, the two of them suddenly said in unison, "I'm getting married!"

Shen Xiaojia's eyes twitched and he spat out one word suspiciously, "You?"

"Eh!" Lao Qu closed his eyes, nodded proudly, picked his nose and said, "And the bride is not you!"

Shen Xiaojia rolled his eyes and sneered, "Master, I will soon have a master of the famous grass. You'd better give up as soon as possible!"

"Huang Siniang?"

"Chu Yunqiao?"

"She just wants to find an honest man who doesn't mind her past... You don't know this, right?"

"She wants to kill you, you should know this very well!"

Lao Qu curled his lips disapprovingly, "I don't mind." "I don't care either..." Shen Xiaojia paused and added, "And she will never kill me ruthlessly in the future, she will only love me ruthlessly."

Lao Qu squinted at the blush on Shen Xiaojia's chest and clothes, pursed his lips and said, "It seems your wedding is very close! What date is it?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, I will go to Yanyu Tower to redeem her life tomorrow..." Shen Xiaojia noticed Lao Qu's gaze, simply took out the red cloth, spread it out generously, held the fine needle and started embroidering again

, said calmly, "But the date has not been decided yet, there are a lot of things to prepare, I want to give her a different wedding!"

"This is the first time I've seen men embroidery..." Lao Qu said with a look of disgust on his face, "You are so picky when you get married, and you have to sew a piece of hijab by yourself, it's embarrassing!"

"What do you know? This is my intention. I can't be careless about every stitch...Besides, if you save a little now, your life will be easier in the future. I'm not like some people who just eat and drink by myself. I've been in a daze for decades.

You only saved a few taels of money, and you still dare to say that you want to get married! What a fool! You have no material foundation at all, how can you give others happiness!"

"Who says I don't have any material foundation? I have a stable job..."

"Yes, yes, the fifty-year contract of betrayal is indeed very stable. May I ask how much your monthly salary is for this job?"

"I want you to take care of it! I still have a house..."

"I have inquired about it. It is a haunted house. The last owner was hacked to death inside. It was so bloody that no one dared to take it over. You licked your face and begged for it without spending a penny.

Of course it’s not worth a penny!”

Lao Qu choked up for a moment, stared at Shen Xiaojia angrily for a while, and suddenly said with a sinister smile, "Speaking of which, I still have valuable things. I have raised you for ten years. You don't have to spend anything on food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even if you only spend a year

Thirty taels of silver, ten years is also thirty taels..." He stretched out his right hand and waved it in front of Shen Xiaojia's eyes, "Give it back to me quickly, or I will trade it with your head. I think it will be much more than thirty taels!"

"No money!" Shen Xiaojia patted Lao Qu's hand hard and said with a straight face, "I won't give you a head either!"

"You are not interesting enough. Is it easy for me to drag you down with my shit and my urine? Now that we are getting married, and I ask you for money for a banquet, won't your conscience hurt?"

"It's not that I don't give it, it's that I don't have it. Besides... I was already eight years old when we met, and I can already take care of myself. Stop talking about shit!"

"That's too much. Will you have no money? You earned ten thousand taels from that poetry meeting..."

"It's all spent."

"Fart, you spent ten taels of silver to buy rouge for Chu Yunqiao today...Ten taels! It's enough to buy a good banquet on the table!"

"That's what I got from selling some of my belongings..."

Lao Qu sneered, with disbelief written all over his face, "What kind of wealth do you have? How can you exchange that scrap of copper for ten taels of silver?" Suddenly he remembered something and glanced at the bicycle in the corner of the yard, "Wait a minute.

What are the cushions on the back of your bicycle made of?"

Shen Xiaojia touched his nose and replied with some trepidation, "A big cotton-padded jacket."

"who?"

"mine……"

"You are telling lies with your eyes wide open. Yuecheng is like spring all year round. There is no need for cotton-padded jackets in winter. There are no shops selling cotton in the city... You have a woolen cotton-padded jacket. Do you have hair? You don't have any.

Why are you talking about a big cotton-padded jacket with me? Tell me honestly, have you touched anything in my cabinet?"

"No... I thought that based on our relationship, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine."

Lao Qu gritted his teeth and said sternly, "Shen Xiaojia, if you don't get me thirty taels of silver before Siniang and I get married, I will light you as a firecracker. The blood flowers are also red, which is festive."

! It’s so chilling. It’s in vain that I worried about your marriage. If it weren’t for me, would you have had that romantic night? Okay, now you just sold all my belongings in order to get married, and you don’t care at all.

My life and death are really a selfish white-eyed wolf!"

Shen Xiaojia frowned and said, "Haha... Don't blame yourself, I just said there is something wrong with that chicken! Tell me, what did you put on it?"

"If I don't add any ingredients, that chicken can kill you..." Lao Qu said with evasive eyes, "Now half of the chicken's effect is on you and half of it is in Chu Yunqiao's body. If you add some internal strength, she will disappear."

The hidden disease has been cured, everyone is happy! I am doing it for your own good!"

The anger in Shen Xiaojia's eyes became even more intense, "So... was it your idea for Yan Qi to force me to go to Yanyu Tower?"

Just when Lao Qu was about to say something else, a muffled thud suddenly came from the right corner of the courtyard. The pale-faced Tao Niang staggered towards Shen Xiaojia and said intermittently, "Shen Xiaojia... Yunqiao was beaten by Shen Rong." The bastard...captured her...go...save her!"

Shen Xiaojia was startled and stood up suddenly. His face was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost. After staring in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion for a moment, he slowly sat back on the swing and continued to embroider. Half of the word "囍" was missing, and he said a few words in a low voice, "I know."

Tao Niang stared blankly at Shen Xiaojia who continued to embroider calligraphy, and said coldly, "You won't save her? I thought you were different from other men..."
