Chapter 163 New Year's Eve
Time flies by.
Finally, it’s New Year’s Eve.
The streets of Qingzhou City are very lively.
Just a "bang" sound was heard, the sound of firecrackers exploded, and large white snowflakes exploded on the ground.
On the long street, vendors, footmen, adults and children were all crowded together, making it very lively.
This year, the government was also very helpful. They hung red lanterns on both sides of the moat. Due to the severe cold weather, a thick layer of ice had formed on the river. The lights illuminated the ice, and naughty children ran on it from time to time. Having fun and watching the excitement.
Small vendors are not subject to jurisdiction tonight and can set up stalls anywhere in the city. Those people shout loudly, silk tea, rouge gouache, household utensils, water, wine, snacks, firecrackers and fireworks... anything that is pleasing to the eye. Gadgets, everything you need, nothing missing.
At the end of the long street, the proprietress of Chunmanlou was wearing a newly made deep red lace silk dress. She stood at the door and stretched her neck to look into the distance from time to time.Although it was the cold weather in the twelfth lunar month of winter, she still shook a round fan embroidered with red plum branches. The collar on her chest was opened extremely low, revealing a large area of snow-white skin. As the round fan was gently shaken, a gust of fragrant wind passed by, making passers-by endure. They couldn't help but stop.
"Mr. Song, you are going shopping with your sister again. Come and sit with us when you have time!"
The landlady waved and smiled while waving her fan.
Song Helan immediately blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, saying no, no.
Song Anning wanted to laugh looking at it.
"Brother, my mother said she wants to marry you. Which girl do you like? If you are too shy to say it, you can tell me. I will go and look at each other for you in the name of visiting my daughter's house. , see what the other person’s character is like.”
Song Helan's face turned even redder, and she said seriously with a straight face: "A man should put his career first. I'm not that old, so why rush to start a family?"
Song Anning disagreed and shook her head.
"That's not what they say. They say that when you start a family, you have to start a family first, and then you can think about starting a career. Otherwise, if your mind is all on the mundane affairs of life, how much energy will you have to take care of your business?"
"Listen to me, marry me a sister-in-law first, and then we will have children. Then my sister-in-law will take care of the house, and you can do whatever you want outside. Without worries, our business will surely be more prosperous. of."
Song Helan blushed and refused to speak.
At this time, Song Xingzhi shouted: "There is a sideshow ahead, do we want to watch the sideshow?"
Song Helan was stunned, glanced at his brother gratefully, and said quickly: "Little sister, let's go watch the sideshow."
With that said, he pulled Song Anning and pushed forward.
Song Anning knew that her brother was deliberately avoiding the topic, and she felt helpless, but she didn't want to push it too far.
She just said a few words when she felt like it. As for whether her brothers would marry or not, the decision was still up to them, and she had no reason to make the decision for them.
The three brothers and the sister finally squeezed into the crowd. A group of people were enjoying the juggling, but little did they know that danger was approaching at this time.
In a corner not far away.
The two men in coarse linen clothes looked in the direction of Song Anning and said in a deep voice, "That's her, isn't it?"
"Well, I saw her go to Tiangang Village with my own eyes before. Lin Feng only had contact with her before his death. That thing must be in her hands."
"Okay, let's do it now."
"Well, let's do it."
As they spoke, the two took out a black square scarf from their arms, covered their faces, and then flew out and rushed into the crowd.
Song Anning was watching the excitement with her two brothers. Suddenly, her arms tightened and her body flew up in the next second, being carried away by two masked men.
She only had time to let out a scream. At the same time, the people next to her also noticed the strange movement here and started screaming.
Song Xingzhi and Song Helan were both stunned. They shouted "little sister" and quickly chased after her.
However, they didn't know martial arts, so they couldn't catch up with these two people who were very good at light martial arts. Seeing that their little girl was about to be kidnapped, the two of them were sweating profusely.
But at this moment, a white figure fell from the sky.
The figure was like a dragon. With one thrust, one push, and one push, it easily snatched Song Anning away. Then the tip of the sword raised a bright sword flower, and the two masked men were seriously injured. , falling from mid-air.
"boom!"
The two hit the ground.
Pei Qingyan took Song Anning and fell from the sky. He first let go of Song Anning, then stepped on one person's chest with one foot, and put the tip of the sword on the other person's neck. He asked coldly: "Who sent you here?" ?”
The two looked at each other, but neither of them wanted to say anything. They gritted their teeth and committed suicide by biting the poison.
Song Anning was startled.
Pei Qingyan frowned.
At this time, Su Zian finally ran over panting.
"Sir, let me tell you, you... can you wait for me next time? I, I really can't catch up with you..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw two dead people lying on the ground and jumped back in fright.
"Fuck! Dead?"
Pei Qingyan threw the sword to him coldly, "By the time you come, the body will be cold."
After saying that, he turned around and walked in the direction of Song Anning.
"Are you okay?"
Song Anning stared at him in shock.
It was as if he couldn't believe that what he saw could be real.
Pei Qingyan laughed.
He raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, saying, "What, are you stupid?"
Song Anning came back to her senses.
Before she could speak, Song Xingzhi and Song Helan also rushed over.
Seeing Pei Qingyan, they were a little surprised, but they still raised their hands and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Pei to be here. Thank you Mr. Pei for saving my little sister. If we hadn't met Mr. Pei, we wouldn't have known how we would have gone home to pay homage to our parents tonight. explain."
Pei Qingyan smiled lightly and said, "You're welcome."
Song Xingzhi looked at the two people who had expired on the ground.
"Who are these two?"
Pei Qingyan said: "It should be a spy from the Southern Tang Dynasty."
Song Xing was shocked.
"People from the Southern Tang Dynasty? Why are they in Qingzhou?"
Pei Qingyan looked at Song Anning.
Song Anning didn't speak, but she could sense that something was wrong. She frowned and said, "Are these people here to assassinate me?"
Pei Qingyan said: "To be precise, I want to arrest you and torture you out of your mouth."
Song Anning was puzzled, "What can I have that is worth their torture?"
Pei Qingyan looked around.
"This is not the place to talk. Choose a place and let's sit together."
Song Helan and Song Xingzhi both realized that things were a bit unexpected, so they said respectfully: "Today is New Year's Eve, and all the inns and restaurants in the city are closed for the New Year. If Lord Pei doesn't mind, why don't you go and sit in the humble house, so that you can My brother, please drink a cup of hot wine to relieve your fatigue."
Pei Qingyan had no objection.
"Then I'll trouble Brother Song."
"You're welcome."
A group of people walked towards Song Mansion.
