When the food is served, the lights outside the house are still bright. The tradition of keeping the year old has a long history. In the Xia Dynasty, ancestors were worshiped on the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month was celebrated with lanterns. After the first lunar month, the New Year was celebrated.

Jiang Ning filled an extra bowl and placed it on his left, leaving the seat free.

"Uncle, is there anyone else?" Yue Ya asked after setting the tableware.

Jiang Ning nodded and said: "I have a friend who is also from Hangzhou and is doing tea house business here. It snowed heavily this year and I can't go back. I met him today and he was alone, so I invited him to have a reunion dinner. He

If you have time, you should come back."

"Oh? Is there anything else?" Wang Ruoyan said with a smile: "Of course I have to treat you well. Yueya, go to the door to greet me. Myolie, you can cook two more dishes, hometown dishes."

The two agreed and went to work. Everyone sat around the table, chatting about work progress and poetry, but they were having fun. Under Wang Ruoyan's insistence, hot pot was still served today, but this time it was...

Extremely rare wild goose meat is used as the bottom of the pot.

"Oh? Come on, come on in. This is the second shopkeeper." Jiang Ning stood up and walked to the door, introducing him as he walked.

But they saw Er Qianxun dressed like a young master, holding a stove in his hand, smiling and saying: "Master Jiang, excuse me, thank you for your love, thank you for your love..."

Jiang Ning almost didn't laugh. The Second Qianxun's dress and tone were exactly the same as the shopkeeper at the counter.

"Second shopkeeper? But his surname is second?" Zhang Zhijing said with a smile.

"Of course it is, otherwise if there were two shopkeepers in my shop, then I wouldn't be called shopkeeper." Erqianxun chuckled.

Everyone smiled and sat down. Xing'er brought the West Lake vinegar fish, which was a masterpiece.

"I will drink several times today and I won't come home until I'm drunk." He Yunzhang laughed.

Erqianxun said: "That's natural. In Hangzhou, we knew that the Wang family was the leader in silk cloth. When we met today, all the shopkeepers are also of a good nature. Naturally, they wanted to drink hard and not return until they were drunk.

.”

"It seems that the second shopkeeper is also a man of good temper. It can be said that... when you meet your opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent, haha..." Wang Zihan said with a smile.

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "Everyone is here, let's start..."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine together. Even Yue Ya and Xing'er, who usually did not drink alcohol, made an exception and took a sip. The spicy two gargled their mouths in a hurry, making everyone laugh.

The second Qianxun came here, but he had a huge ideological struggle. Since the Right Prime Minister established the Jing'an Division, the operations of the Jing'an Division have been extremely secretive. Everyone must remain vigilant. Such gatherings are rare.

, New Year’s Eve dinner is even more of a luxury for her. Since following the Right Prime Minister, the New Year’s Eve is no different from normal days. She can eat food at any time and drink wine by herself. It’s just that there are more people and she can see fireworks.

.

This kind of atmosphere is really rare. It was the first time that Chihiro felt it. When she took a mouthful of dumplings, her vigilant psychological defense completely collapsed along with the soup, and she burst into tears but could not hold back her tears.

Jiang Ning saw this in his eyes, picked up the wine glass again and said, "Come on, come on..." He was very good at such tame things.

"When did the second shopkeeper come to Jinling? We are here for the first time. We hope you will take care of us in Jinling in the future." Shopkeeper He said with a smile as they exchanged glasses of wine.

Erqianxun smiled and said: "I have been in Jinling for four or five years. I brought the Longjing tea from West Lake to sell it at a higher price. I would go back to pick tea before the rain, but I was in a hurry and never visited."

"Oh? Yuqian Longjing, that is the most famous tea in our Great Xia Dynasty..." Shopkeeper He exclaimed: "Even if I am waiting in Hangzhou, this Yuqian Longjing is rare to taste."

Erqianxun immediately said: "We still have some in our shop, but they are last year's Yuqian Longjing. If you don't mind, our shop will open on the third day of the Lunar New Year. How about going to taste it?"

Shopkeeper He is a tea lover. Hearing this, he beamed: "So..."

"Even last year's Yuqian Longjing must be expensive..." Shopkeeper Zhang touched his beard and said: "In this case, we also have some new products here. Although they are not as good as Longjing, they are still excellent. If the second shopkeeper

Don’t mind it, we’ll take some with us when the time comes.”

"The Wang family is the number one in silk in Hangzhou, and the quality of the silk they produce is naturally one of the best in Jiangnan. Last year's tea made more money than this year's silk. I lost money in terms of price, but in the end, I made a profit, didn't I? Haha..."

Erqianxun laughed and covered up the matter. If she continued to ask questions, it would involve business-related matters. Although her identity was true, she would be wrong if she said too much.

If you miss it, wouldn’t it be ridiculous?

Amidst the laughter and laughter, everyone forgot about their sorrow. Jiang Ning didn't think about how he would survive if troubled times came. Erqian Xun didn't think about what other information had to be sent out today. Wang Ruoyan didn't think about how his father's health was at home.

, Yue Ya and Xing'er don't think about anything when

Only then can they have their own destination. The two brothers Wang Zihan did not think about what to do if they failed to pass the exam next autumn. The two shopkeepers He and Zhang did not think about how to expand their business in Jinling. Everyone has troubles here.

Time disappeared without a trace, enjoying the simple pleasure.

After midnight, Erqianxun just said goodbye and left. Jiang Ning sent him out, set off the last firecracker, closed the door and went to sleep, feeling this peaceful and happy New Year's Eve.

Wang Ruoyan leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep with his body between her legs, as if she felt safe in this way.

Erqianxun moved his feet and appeared on the eaves. After a few jumps, he stood on the Jinling Buddha Light Pagoda. This 13-story pagoda was built in the Five Dynasties and enshrines a relic.

It is more than fifty meters high. Standing on the top of the tower, you can overlook the entire Jinling.

Wrapped in a blanket of silver, Second Qianxun looked around the entire Jinling City. Rows upon rows of houses and lofts intertwined with each other. To this city, she was just a snowflake under her feet. But what did this snowflake mean to the snow?

Not at all, so small, so humble.

A surge of sourness surged from her heart, and two lines of hot tears fell. She blinked and wiped her eyes. She had not shed tears since she was a child. She was a ruthless person. The destination of her family would only affect the speed of her drawing the sword. Her feelings could only

Let her restrain her hands and feet. This is what really impressed Xia Yongkang. She knew it well, and Xia Yongkang also knew it clearly. That's why she could make achievements in martial arts and serve as the manager of Jing'an Division. Order

The first priority is the mission.

Father? Mother? What is that? For Erqianxun, it is extremely unfamiliar. This kind of life is not suitable for her. The sword in her sleeve has been stained with the blood of many people, and she has never stopped.

Jiang Ning's information and requirements flashed through her mind over and over again. Those five points have been arranged according to Jiang Ning's requirements. The results are not obvious yet, but her intuition tells her that this is the right thing to do, although she doesn't know

Why, at least, someone thought about these people living at the bottom. Whenever she saw these people's wives, children, and children, she would feel compassion, but she had no choice. If she didn't kill, more people would die.

Now, it's different. Erqianxun retracted her thoughts, took a long breath, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Her name was Erqianxun. The Erqianxun of Jing'an Division is not anyone else's Erqianxun...
