In the evening, the sun sets.
Chunfeng Tea House is located in Chunfeng Lane and is famous for its high quality and low price.
Yang Xing came to the teahouse at the agreed time.
"Ah Xing, it's windy outside, come in quickly."
Wei Qiang, wearing a brand new black robe, greeted him enthusiastically, "When we get together this time, we no longer have to stand outside and drink the northwest wind like before."
Yang Xing smiled and said, "Brother Qiang, you're welcome. I'm not late, am I?"
Compared with a month ago, Wei Qiang was a little less sharp and a little more heroic.
"No, but it's up to you."
Wei Qiang held Yang Xing's shoulders.
In the corner of the teahouse, Erniu, Xiaoshan, and Wang Hu were already seated, and besides them there was a young girl.
The girl's name is Xia Xia. She is wearing a long black dress. She has a delicate appearance and a graceful figure. Her facial features cannot be said to be exquisite, but they are very attractive.
Especially his body has a cleanliness that ordinary poor people don't have.
Xia Xia was originally a child in Chunfeng Lane, and her parents were selling fruit at a stall. However, her parents died of illness one after another last year, and she was picked up by her aunt in the south of the city.
It is said that her aunt was born into a wealthy family and had no worries about food and drink.
Although it has never been revealed that the aunt is from a merchant family, there are vague rumors in Chunfeng Lane that it is said to be the Xia family, one of the five major families.
Everyone hadn't seen her for a year. Wei Qiang just called her symbolically, but he didn't expect her to come.
"Axing is here!"
Seeing Wei Qiang and Yang Xing walking in, Xiao Shan stood up first, and the others also stood up.
"Brother Xing."
Xia Xia's eyes lit up and she shouted.
In the past, when the grocery store was doing well, Chen would always buy some caramels and chestnuts for Yang Xing, and Yang Xing would give some to her.
She kept these things in mind.
Yang Xing said, "Long time no see."
Wei Qiang frowned secretly and said calmly: "Come on, everyone, sit down."
Xiao Shan said: "Brother Qiang, today was arranged by you. You are the oldest and you should sit in the first place."
Wei Qiang said quickly: "Where is my turn, I'd better sit down with Xia Xia."
Xiao Shan was startled and realized that he had said the wrong thing, "Then... then Xia Xia sit down."
Xia Xia is now related to a big family. Although I don't know how deep the relationship is, it is not comparable to that of Sheng Dou Xiaomin.
After several people declined, Xia Xia sat on the main seat.
Erniu poured tea and said, "Have you heard about Master Cheng?"
"What Chengye?"
Xiaoshan sneered and said: "That bitch was said to have died in his own home. He was not discovered until a long time after his death. He must have been killed by a gang. Otherwise, how could ordinary people be so brave?"
Wang Hu was silent for a long time and said: "It's a good death."
As for Yang Xing, who was the initiator of everything, he remained silent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Then they started chatting, discussing, and recounting their experiences during this period.
Yang Xing observed secretly.
Xia Xia has changed the most, both in appearance and personality.
When she was in Chunfeng Alley, she liked to follow people behind her. She was timid and had no independent opinions. Now she speaks openly and openly, and her appearance is much more open, attracting frequent glances from Xiao Shan and Wang Hu.
Although it has never been stated that his aunt is from a merchant family, there are still rumors in Chunfeng Lane that it is said that she is from the Xia family, one of the five aristocratic families in the inner city.
The difference between Xia Xia and the people present was as big as clouds and mud.
If Aunt Xia Xia is a key figure in the Seven Families, then the gap will only get wider.
If Yang Xing were just an ordinary person, he would be far behind him in this life.
The second person who changed the most was Wang Hu. Not long after Cheng Ye’s incident, Lao Wang left and was unable to survive the winter. This series of stimulation made Wang Hu seem to be a different person, and he talked a lot less.
And Xiaoshan has also changed a bit. After entering the medical clinic to study, he became a bit less dull and naive, and his behavior became much smoother.
Erniu, on the other hand, has not changed much. She is still outspoken and outspoken. Now she works as a maid in a rich family. Although her status is humble, she has seen some things in the world, and her words are somewhat showy.
As for Wei Qiang, he is valued by his elders and may get a job at the end of the year. His words are obviously somewhat complacent and high-spirited. It is obvious that he has been very happy during this period.
When everyone heard this, they were all secretly envious.
"Ah Xing doesn't seem to be doing well either."
Xiaoshan glanced at Yang Xing and felt better.
My father is missing and there is no news yet, and I don’t have money to learn a craft. It’s a big deal just to be able to have enough to eat by guarding the grocery store.
Wei Qiang looked at Yang Xing and pretended to say: "Ah Xing, last time you said you were going to learn martial arts, have you finished it?"
Everyone looked over.
Learning martial arts is a way out, whether it's escorting or martial arts.
But learning martial arts is too difficult, especially for ordinary people, it is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.
In their view, ordinary people have a way out for ordinary people.
That is to learn a craft and make a living.
Yang Xing said calmly: "I'm currently studying martial arts at Debao Martial Arts School."
"Did you really go there!?"
Erniu's eyes widened and she said: "I heard that learning martial arts is difficult. You have to go to Mingjin to learn martial arts. In addition to having high requirements on the bones, you also need a lot of meat to have a chance to reach Mingjin. "
Xiaoshan asked: "How do you know this?"
Erniu said: "There are many nurses in the mansion. They used to study in martial arts schools. Later, they failed to temper their bodies and became guardians. These nurses are ordered around like dogs just for a mouthful of food. Moreover, each one has spent years polishing his body and damaging his foundation, so he will not live long..."
Speaking of this, Erniu quickly fell silent.
Xia Xia also glared at Er Niu.
At this time, Wei Qiang said with a proud look on his face: "Ah Xing, why don't you work with me? Not to mention getting rich, I will ensure that you have something to eat."
He said he wanted to take care of Yang Xing, but he obviously planned to accept Yang Xing as his younger brother.
Yang Xing shook his head, "Forget it, I'll learn first and then talk."
Erniu shook her head and said as if she hated iron, "Ah Xing, you are good at everything, you are just a stick."
When Xiaoshan heard Yang Xing's rejection, his hanging heart relaxed.
In his opinion, being able to be close to Wei Qiang is a good thing.
Yang Xing is really a fool, he didn't know how to seize such a good opportunity.
Wang Hu, who had been silent all the time, nodded and said: "Learning martial arts is indeed too difficult."
Xia Xia pursed her lips and hesitated to speak.
No one thought Yang Xing could succeed in practicing martial arts.
Just like what Er Niu said, those nursing homes who were ordered around, ordered around like dogs, may have been Yang Xing's life.
Next, everyone drank tea and chatted, and the atmosphere became harmonious.
From time to time, tell interesting stories from childhood, or look forward to the future.
Unconsciously the sky darkened.
Everyone got up and left one after another.
Wei Qiang took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "Xia Xia, let me see you off."
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels came from outside the teahouse, and then an old woman jumped out and came to Xia Xia's side under the surprised eyes of everyone.
"Miss, it's time to go back, otherwise the old lady should be anxious."
"I see."
Xia Xia responded, turned to look at Yang Xing and whispered: "Brother Xing, if anything happens to you, you can come to Xia's house to find me, and I will help you to the best of my ability."
With that said, Xia Xia followed the old woman into the carriage and left slowly under the astonished gazes of several people.
