On the open field at the city gate, the potatoes had been dug up clean, and the originally endless green was replaced by black soil again.

Many old men are scattering ash on the ridges of the fields. This is a part of raising soil. Tomorrow is a rest. I will take advantage of the darkness to finish all my life, so that I can have a safe vacation.

Although the old man's eyes are vicissitudes, he has a glimpse in his eyes. He dare not think about the good days now. People worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. As long as they do their jobs, they can save their salary of 300 coins per month.

Perhaps because he was tired, several old men sat on the ridge of the field to drink water, and their attention was attracted by several rich and luxurious men in the distance.

Suddenly, a white light rose into the sky.

The old men were not afraid, but instead raised their heads to chase the light.

With a sound of roar, a bright five-color flower exploded in the sky. The only drawback is that the sky is not dark enough now, otherwise it would have attracted a lot of people to watch.

The old men were amazed. This is not the first time they have seen this thing called fireworks, but every time they see it, it is so pleasing to the eye.

The second sound of expectation did not come. He looked down at the rich young men, but saw them pushing and shoving inexplicably.

"Yuchi Xiaohei, did you do it on purpose? It was my turn to come this time. Why did you light it secretly by yourself? I finally asked for these fireworks."

"Zhi Mom, even if I activate it secretly, there is no need for you to use urine to kill it. Why didn't you explode your bird just now!"

"Your damn...you're looking for practice, right?"

"Come on, I'm afraid of you for taking juice."

"I'll go, you guys..."

“…”

"What's wrong? It's a fight again."

"No matter what, let them fight, let's play ours."

"No, these fireworks were coming from Cheng Chumo. Are you afraid of being beaten to death by him?"

"Tsk, what are you afraid of? Maybe he will call me a good brother-in-law at the end of the year and just light a few fireworks. At worst, I can give him a big red envelope at that time."

"Yo, Brother Zheng, your marriage with Cui...Miss Cheng is settled?"

"It's almost the same. My uncle and Cui Biejia are old friends. They mentioned this matter before the New Year. Neither of the two families had any objections at that time. They might get engaged at the end of this year and choose a good day to get married next year."

The young master who spoke was full of lust. He didn't catch a cold about Cheng Yuqi in the past. After all, the mother and mother were orphans and widows. Even if they were from Cui, they would not be of much help to their future in the future.

But now it’s different. Cheng Yuqi not only has the identity of Cui’s legitimate daughter, but also Cheng Yaojin’s daughter. If she marry her, all the civil and military officials in the court will have to give him some face, and the career will be open and unrestrained.

"Hey, look at it, agarwood car!"

"Where... tsk tsk tsk, this car is amazing no matter how many times you see it. You don't need to drag it by a horse. I really don't know how it ran."

"Brother Wang, don't you have one at home, so when will we drive it out and enjoy it?"

"Haha, are you kidding me? Who dares to move Wang Huai's car? Didn't you see that boy Wang Bin huddled at home every day now?"

"It's still Wang Huai's luck. At that time, I laughed at him for giving it to people nowadays. I didn't expect that I was beaten by my father's stick that day and scolded me for being unscrupulous. Why didn't I be attracted to my husband? At that time, I thought my father was confused. Now, I think... I am quite envious of Wang Huai."

Several young men looked at each other, how could they not envy? Because of the potato seedlings, Wang Huai's status among all the families in the Tang Dynasty has risen sharply. He was originally just a pitiful person without any mother's love, but now even the elders of the Wang clan of Taiyuan have to take the initiative to ask about his well-being when they see him.

Just as he was sighing, Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Chumo who had been rolling on the ground for a few times, suddenly stood up.

"Hey, that's..." Cheng Chumo wiped off the ash on his face with his sleeves, squinted his eyes and stared at the agarwood car until the other party rolled the window: "I'll go, Qi'er?!"

Cheng Chumo was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly ran over.

The other people looked at each other, and the young master Zheng who was talking before also lit up. He hurriedly patted the hem of his clothes and trotted after him.

Yuchi Baolin frowned slightly and muttered, "Why did that girl come too?"

When he ran closer, Cheng Chumo discovered that there was an acquaintance in the car.

"Haha, why did Mr. Cheng come here to play wrestling? Isn't Dingjunfang a special venue?"

Wang Laoliu signaled the driver to stop the car, and smiled and pushed open the car door and walked down. He also helped Cheng Yuqi open the door so that the brother and sister could get together.

Cheng Chumo was about to speak, but he didn't want the people behind him to be more anxious than him.

The visitor skipped Wang Laoliu directly, ran to Cheng Yuqi, and said attentively: "Qi'er, why are you here too?"

While speaking, he also glanced at the agarwood car, his eyes full of covetousness. After staying in Shuofang for a long time these days, he saw many strange things, but he only had a special liking for this agarwood car. However, he was so eager to buy it in Xingyang Zheng's family, but he refused to sell it in Gewufang.

After Cheng Yuqi saw the other party, her originally happy expression instantly collapsed. She let the other party say "yes" coldly, walked to Cheng Chumo, and asked about her warmth.

The visitor didn't expect to be treated coldly, his smile froze and a trace of harshness flashed in his eyes.

"Who is this young man?"

Seeing that he was neglected by Cheng Yuqi, Wang Laoliu forced a smile to help him relieve his embarrassment.

"I met the king of the king in Zheng, Xia Xingyang."

Although he felt embarrassed, he still had the demeanor of a son of a noble family. Seeing that Wang Laoliu had found a step for him, he climbed down.

Wang Laoliu bowed again and flattered: "It turned out to be Mr. Zheng, who was rude. He had the honor of drinking with the head of Zheng several times a few times. At that time, he heard the head of Zheng talk about several young heroes of the Zheng family. Haha, when I saw him today, I was indeed very arrogant."

Zheng Er was shocked when he heard this. He didn't like the dark and dusty Wang Laoliu in front of him at first, but when he heard him say that he had drunk wine with the head of the family, it was different. After all, he was not a direct child.

"Haha, the king is so absurd."

Zheng Er only knew that Wang Laoliu was the chief responsible for road construction, and he didn't know anything else. At this time, he wanted to curry favor with some good things, but he couldn't find any reason, so he could only respond in disappointment.

Next to him, Cheng Yuqi pulled her brother Cheng Chumo over and said to Wang Laoliu with a smile: "Uncle Wang Liu, thank you for sending me all the way. It's dark now. I will go to the inn with my brother to settle for a while and visit me tomorrow morning."

Wang Laoliu looked at the sky, and he was also anxious about the ugly girl's situation, nodded and said bluntly: "I have informed Erlang of your arrival. I guess he has made arrangements. If it is convenient, why not go directly to the village to live in a short stay?"

Cheng Yuqi was stunned when she heard this, her cheeks turned red, and then looked at Zheng Dui with a uncertain expression, and politely declined: "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Wang Liu, but let it go, it's not too late to see you earlier tomorrow."

It was getting dark, and Wang Laoliu did not see the expressions of the three people in front of him. Since Cheng Yuqi did not go, he was not inviting him to invite him anymore. He waved his hand and got into the car and entered the city.

Zheng Dui looked at the agarwood car that was leaving, his eyes were gloomy and clear. He looked down at Cheng Yuqi and tentatively said, "Qi'er and Langjun have known each other for a long time?"
