this day.

Xu Jiaban's convoy entered a big city called "Qingliang City". This stop is the last stop before the Chinese New Year.

After performing in Qingliang City for ten days, Xu Jiaban will return to his real home, a remote village, named Xujia Village. Most of the people in the village are surnamed Xu, and Daddy Xu is still a figure in the village!

The "big city" in Daddy Xu's mouth is really small and pitiful in Mu Qing's eyes, but for a mortal city, it can be regarded as big. This city looks very old, and it is probably not an exaggeration to say that it is a thousand-year-old city.

The weather is colder, and there are still some snowflakes in the sky from time to time. Mu Qing put on a neat and clean old cotton robe sent by Xu Yizhi. Xu Yizhi said that this was worn by his father, but a few days ago, cotton was renewed.

For Xu Yizhi's meticulous care all the time, Mu Qing saw it in her eyes and warmed her heart.

In fact, not only Father Xu and Xu Yizhi, but the entire Xu family class gave Mu Qing a feeling of relying on the stove to keep warm, and even the hatred pressed in his heart seemed to be gradually melted by this warmth......

They don't eat well, they only have meat every three days, they drink when they get a reward, they don't wear well, except for the costumes they wear for performances, they usually wear patches. However, the faces of each of them are like a sunflower, always so warm.

Mu Qing gradually felt that life in the mortal world was actually not bad. Unconsciously, the idea that came out again when I couldn't open my soul when I was a child......

The idea has the childishness of a teenager, but it is simple and clear, that is, to make a lot of money, marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, have a lot of children, watch the children grow up healthy and happy, and when they are old, they will be happy......

......

After the convoy entered the city, they went straight to a large-scale teahouse, and Father Xu exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper of the teahouse, and settled down in the backyard of the teahouse, it seemed that it was not the first time they had come here.

In the courtyard, Daddy Xu gathered everyone, stood on a well platform, cleared his throat and spoke:

"Everyone, seeing that the New Year is coming, this cool city is the last stop of our work this year, the big guys are selling their strength, we will perform here for ten days, earn enough silver, and then we will go back to the village, bring some good wine and meat to my father, make a new dress for my daughter-in-law, buy a few whips for the children, and have a good New Year. Erniu, I heard that your family has already said that your daughter-in-law should have a hot kang to sleep on when you go back this year!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the young man named Erniu turned red.

One person smiled and said: "Brother Erniu is so blessed, I heard that her mother told him that this family is one of the best female babies in the neighboring village, and the one who gave birth is called a water spirit." Another said: "Yes, yes, Erniu hasn't been caught these days, he must be thinking of a new daughter-in-law." ”

A fat man said in a loud voice: "Daddy Xu, your family is seventeen, why don't you talk about your own family, do you want to leave this treasure to your apprentice?"

Without waiting for Daddy Xu to answer, Xu Yizhi shouted lightly: "Three fat men, you have to worry about this girl's affairs! I don't marry, so I'll follow my father to the north and south!"

The three fat men said: "I think our eldest lady is afraid that she has a sweetheart, which senior brother is it?"

As soon as these words came out, Father Xu's four apprentices spoke one after another:

"Three fat people, you have eaten the bread and white flour all day long, and you want to make fun of my brothers. ”

"Three fat people, my little junior sister can't look down on a few of us, don't say it, she will definitely not look down on you!"

"Three fat people, the master treats the four of me like his own sons, and one branch is our sister, if you talk so nonsense, be careful that God thunders and kills you!"

The three fat men suddenly stuttered, and said: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I can't afford to provoke your four brothers, don't let God chop me to death, let me choke to death by eating flatbread and meat one day." ”

Then there was another burst of laughter.

Another said: "The four of you brothers treat Yizhi as a sister, and Yizhi also treats you as a brother, this family affair will definitely not be done." However, I think Brother Yang is suitable! Didn't Sister Yizhi always say that she wanted to marry a big hero? And said that Brother Yang was a master of the house? That's pretty much it......

As soon as these words came out, Xu Yizhi's pretty face turned red, and he stomped his feet and ran out of the hospital.

Daddy Xu hurriedly played a round and said loudly: "Okay, okay, it seems that the big guys are in good spirits, then tomorrow we will set up a stage in this Qingfeng Teahouse, and we will show off the unique skills of the housekeepers, and the harvest is good, I will give everyone a big red envelope!"

"Okay—" The crowd cheered.

Mu Qing stood at the end, listening without saying a word, and suddenly saw Xu Yizhi, who was hiding at the gate of the courtyard, poking out his little head to look at him, and cast back a shallow smile......

The second day is the first day of the lunar month. A stage has been arranged in the lobby of Qingfeng Teahouse, and there are thirty or forty Eight Immortal Tables in the hall, Mu Qing and those guys are busy working back and forth, and Mu Qing has one hand at the solid wood Eight Immortal Table, walking lightly.

The owner of the teahouse and Daddy Xu were discussing how to publicize and divide it, and when they saw Mu Qing at a glance, they said: "Master Xu, you new guy is so strange, why do you have white hair and cover your face with a black cloth?

When there are outsiders, Mu Qing covers her face with a black cloth, revealing only her eyes. He didn't have low self-esteem, but he was afraid that the scars on his face would scare away the guests.

Father Xu laughed and said, "This kid looks weird, but he has strength." He said to Mu Qing again, "Ah Qing, you go backstage and get those boxes to the edge of the table, be careful not to bump into them." ”

Mu Qing said yes and went out......

Three poles in the day, guests came to the teahouse one after another, more than 20 tables were filled, Daddy Xu walked on the stage, a few opening remarks, and the juggling was about to begin. Mu Qing saw Father Xu walking off the stage and standing by the back door, so he walked over and stood aside.

This is the first time he is ready to see Xu Jiaban's performance......

The performance began quickly at the urging of the tea guests.

Tricks, rope walking, ring of fire, iron gun in the throat, and broken boulder in the chest, all of which won bursts of applause from time to time.

Mu Qing watched this kind of mortal show for the first time, and she also felt that it was very exciting, and she couldn't stop clapping.

The next show was Xu Yizhi and his senior brother Xu San, only to see that at this moment Xu Yizhi changed into a set of emerald green performance clothes, short placket, embroidered lace, and a green silk hair pulled into two buns, which made him even more energetic.

She performed standing on top of this senior brother's head, using six long rods to turn six plates, which turned steadily and quickly, and the audience was full of color.

Suddenly, a sharp voice came from the audience, saying, "There is nothing new in acting, you are fooling people!"

As soon as this sound came out, everyone looked at the person who spoke up. Mu Qing also frowned when she heard this, and looked sideways.

The person who spoke was a young man dressed in a gorgeous costume, in his twenties, pouting, crossing Erlang's legs, and playing with a jade wrench in his hand.

Xu Yizhi and Xu San are obviously accustomed to this situation, and the performance on their hands has not stopped.

I saw that the young man in fancy clothes pursed his mouth and shouted, "I didn't hear Young Master Ben speak, did you!" As he spoke, he took a teacup on the table in his hand and smashed it on the stage with the hot tea......

Fortunately, Xu San reacted quickly, and he also had a child's skill, his back waist exerted force, and he moved one foot to the side, and the teacup smashed on the stage.

Xu Yizhi jumped down from Xu San's head, landed steadily, and obediently put six plates into his hands.

Xu San was not annoyed, and clasped his fists and saluted: "Childe, what we are doing is a real skill, and we will never be fooled." ”

The young man in Chinese clothes said: "I have seen a lot of this thing, your Xu family class is known as the best juggling team within a radius of hundreds of miles, and I think it is just like that." If you can't get something decent today, just pack up and get out, and don't fucking go out and go out of the rivers and lakes!"

When Xu San heard this, he smiled and said, "Childe, then what do you want to see?"

The young man in Chinese clothes stood up, moved a few steps forward, and said with a lewd smile: "I think this girl must have a mechanism hidden in her sleeve, otherwise those plates will not fall off, and they will not turn so fast, if this girl takes off her clothes to act, hehehe, that is called real ability, then it is called a unique job!"

A few other people at his table followed suit, "Yes, yes, take off your clothes! I see that there are also cats in my pants, so I have to take them off!"

Mu Qing's face was displeased, but he was pulled by Father Xu's shirt, and whispered: "Ah Qing, we are in the rivers and lakes, we can't bear this little stinginess, so how can we live?"
