Chapter 33 Bullying the Weak
[Yes, Master. 】

Even if it's just for show, a banquet must be held on New Year's Day, and all officials are invited to congratulate.

Zhu Qinghong counted the grain in the warehouse and called Jiang Shan.

For the Chinese New Year, the food shop should offer something different.Egg-filled steamed stuffed buns are limited to two per person and will be available for two years during the Spring Festival.Jiang Shan took the order, took the token and went to exchange the eggs with joy.

They have never made buns filled with eggs.

Always try it out, only if it tastes good can you dare to sell it.Been busy with this for a while.

In the rush, time flies.

On the day of the Chinese New Year, the city lord's mansion held a banquet.The officials either went together or met at the gate.

They bowed their hands and saluted each other, and asked each other to go first.

After a lot of prevarication, in the end, those with official college or senior qualifications go first, and then the others leave.

The city lord's mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it was very lively.

Officials recited poems, played chess and drank tea in the courtyard, and the atmosphere was quite good.

Zhu Qinghong is wearing a red suit today, with a golden embroidered phoenix about to fly.She wears a golden hair crown, and a step rocker is inserted obliquely on the right side.

Su Rui and Fang Youan were by her side, appearing with her.All the officials hurriedly took their places, saluted and greeted them.

"Get up." Zhu Qinghong raised his hand with a smile, "Today is a festive day, you don't need to be formal."

The officials sat down and exchanged cups after the banquet.

Different from Zhu Qinghong's rich and grand attire, today's Su Rui is wearing a blue dress, elegant and refined.

Fang Youan was taller and taller, dressed in a white robe with a high spirit.The seats of the two of them are closest to Zhu Qinghong.

Wei Xuanyu and Su Rui met each other's eyes, smiled and toasted politely.She took a sip politely, and then carefully peeled the orange.

Zhu Qinghong saw their facial expressions, smiled and said nothing.Yuanyou is competing with the fish in the bowl.He likes to eat fish, but he doesn't like to be picky.

Fang Youan frowned after taking two sips of wine, and changed hands to juice.Those who wanted to toast stopped thinking.

The city lord's mansion is lively, and the people outside the city lord's mansion don't give in.I heard that the newly baked steamed stuffed buns are filled with eggs, and people lined up early in the morning to buy them.

Fortunately, there are several more food shops on the main street, otherwise, you may not be able to buy them after queuing for a day.

Tieniu got up early, put on new clothes and knocked on the door of Dongshuang's house.He stood outside, and she didn't dare to enter the house without speaking.

The child was still sleeping, so Dong Shuang invited him into the main room.

Seeing that Tie Niu was wearing new clothes, she stretched out her hand to adjust the collar: "It still fits well."

"You made it, it fits naturally." Tieniu nervously held Dongshuang's hand.

She lowered her eyes with a smile, nervous and excited.

When the atmosphere was just right, the child opened his eyes but did not see his mother, and he groaned in displeasure.

Dong Shuang withdrew her hand: "I'm going to see the child."

"Can I go together?" Tie Niuyan looked forward to it.

Dong Shuang smiled and nodded.

He happily took her hand.

The two entered the house together.

Dong Shuang picked up the child to coax him, and waited for him to dress him.Tieniu was sitting by the bed, handing clothes and shoes, with a silly smile on his face.

"Look at your stupid look." Dong Shuang chuckled.Tieniu was stunned, wanted to hug her but didn't dare, and was at a loss for a while.

Dong Shuang was happy and took the initiative to lean over.

Tieniu hurriedly hugged him, no, he hugged Dongshuang and the child together.

The child is not unhappy when he is touched by a stranger.Dong Shuang leaned in his arms, feeling that life was complete at this moment.

The two hugged for a while, packed up and took the child out.In addition to the main street in the city, there is not much to do.

Tieniu asked his wife to wait while he queued up to buy buns.Dong Shuang stood on the side of the road with a smile, looking at Tie Niu's figure with tenderness in his eyes.

This man took great care of her and took care of her everywhere.It's hard not to be tempted.

And he treats the kids very well...

"Standing on the street and thinking about men?" A yin and yang voice interrupted Dong Shuang's thoughts.

She turned to see a strange man.

It's not a stranger either, and they've met each other a few times.It seems to be someone who works with Iron Bull.

Dong Shuang hugged the child tightly and backed away a few steps without speaking.The man was Leng Yi, his eyes were red with jealousy when he saw Tie Niu and Dong Shuang's sweet and happy appearance.Why?
Why even Tie Niu had a better life than him.A woman who has been married and had children is still a treasure.

madness!

Leng Yi approached.

Dong Shuang backed away in fear, looking around from the corner of her eyes.

If she dared to act recklessly, she would call someone immediately.In broad daylight, Dong Shuang did not believe that this man was bold.

Leng Yi smiled wickedly, all women are lowly bastards, a widow does not deserve happiness.

With stern eyes, he stretched out his hand to grab Dong Shuang.She turned around and ran, shouting as she ran, "Help, someone here."

Leng Yi's eyes were about to burst, and he was so angry that he chased after him.

Dong Shuang couldn't run fast with the child in his arms, just when Leng Yi was about to catch him.An angry person rushed up and kicked him to the ground.

Tieniu protected Dong Shuang behind him, furiously: "What are you doing!"

Uncontrollably rolling around on the ground, Leng Yi raised his head and glared at Tie Niu: "It's just a widow, is it worth getting angry?"

Tieniu wanted to go up and kick people again, but was stopped by several workers.If you beat someone up badly, the one who suffers is the iron bull.Dong Shuang grabs his sleeve and shakes his head.

After all, she didn't suffer any real harm, even if she sued her, she would not be able to get anything good.Tie Niu patted her hand to comfort her.

A few workers immediately chased them away: "Hurry up and leave, do you want to be beaten again? There are so many people watching, and they don't do anything."

Leng Yi scanned the faces of these people one by one, his dark eyes were full of resentment.He stood up and left angrily.

Seeing that there was no trouble, everyone dispersed.

A worker brought two steamed buns: "Give me the money, and I'll treat it as if you bought it."

"Thank you." Tieniu gave him the money.

The workers smiled and asked them to get along well.

Tieniu was grateful, and took Dongshuang away.

On the way back, he stuffed two buns into Dong Shuang.She hurriedly took out a bun and handed it over: "You eat too."

"No, I don't need it." Tie Niu waved his hand, "One for you to eat, one for the children. It's just right."

Seeing him, Dong Shuang giggled happily, put the steamed stuffed bun in his hand and said, "I will eat one with the child, and you will eat one."

Tieniu smiled and took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, thinking of Leng Yi, his expression changed: "Even if I didn't know a single word before, I knew that a friend's wife should not be bullied. He bullies you, but he doesn't treat me as a friend. From now on, I will be with him." Draw a clear line, and don't be polite to him."

"Yeah." Dong Shuang gently tugged at his arm, "My child and I are fine, don't be angry, okay?"

Obviously he encountered that kind of thing, but in turn comforted him.Tie Niu hugged her and the child, and said softly, "Okay."

Dong Shuang smiled, leaning happiness in his arms.

That person looked good before, how did he become like that now?

The banquet at the City Lord's Mansion ended in the afternoon.

Yuanyou sent everyone to the door as usual.

Wei Xuanyu invited Su Rui for a walk.

"Okay." She agreed.

Yuanyou saluted and watched the two of them go away.Mr. Wei wants to marry Miss Su?
When I first came to Tianchong City, my foundation was unstable.

Marriage is indeed a good idea.Yuan You shook his head, but unfortunately Miss Su might not be willing.

Wei Xuanyu intentionally talked to Su Rui more, and deliberately chose a street with few people.None of them are stupid, some of their thoughts are clear in their chests.

The corners of Su Rui's lips twitched slightly: "Second Master Wei, you are not suitable for me. Regarding the marriage, I hope you can find someone else."

Stopping in her tracks, Wei Xuanyu looked at Su Rui and said: "Since the girl is open, I can't hide it. We all know the situation in Chongcheng today. Miss Zhu has lofty ambitions, and we can't trap her in this small place. People The more one, the heavier the power."

Zhu Qinghong's strength lies there, they only need to think about the position below.One is Fang You'an, the other is Yuan You, with extraordinary status.

Now that the distribution of power has not yet been determined, it is a good time to make a move.

Who doesn't want to be under one person and above ten thousand?

"You and I can indeed get more power together." Su Rui looked directly at him with a smile, "A high position and power means more commitments and more sacrifices. I am so good now, I don't want to have more. Mr. Wei Er, You do not know me."

Wei Xuanyu looked at her, and many words of persuasion hovered in his throat.But her quiet eyes made him unable to say anything.

"So it is." Wei Xuanyu sighed, "It's a pity, but your ambition is not here. I respect your choice."

After speaking, he took the first step.

Su Rui smiled lightly, seemingly free and easy, but she still didn't give up.When the heart is higher than the sky.

City Lord's Mansion.

The crowd had dispersed, and the mechanical arm cleaned up the tables and chairs.Zhu Qinghong stood under the plum tree, sniffing the fragrance lightly.

"City Lord." Yuan You came in and saluted respectfully, "The guests have been sent away."

"Yuanyou, why are you not in a hurry or worried?" Zhu Qinghong caught the falling plum blossom petals, "Aren't you afraid of their marriage?"

Yuanyou lowered his eyes: "Mr. Wei has both ability and political integrity. If Miss Su likes it, he will surely make a good story. No need for others to worry about it."

"Since we met, you have been working hard." Zhu Qinghong flipped his hands, letting the petals fall into the pond lightly, "The things you do are complicated and tiring. Aren't you unwilling? A lot of hard work can't compare to weighing the pros and cons, getting married court."

"I don't care." Yuan You cupped his hands, "I just want to do more practical things for the people. The rest is up to the city lord."

A piece of sincerity, without impurities.

Such a pure heart is really rare.

Zhu Qinghong smiled: "Go back."

"Yes." Yuanyou withdrew.When I walked out of the yard, I turned around and looked at the red figure under the plum tree.

Regardless of whether to fight or not, to grab or not to grab, the city owner knows it well.He is not as good as Young Master Wei who has the entire city as his backing, he only has himself, the hard-working self.

Yuanyou lifted his foot and left.

He never cared whether he stood in a high position or not.He just wanted to fulfill the wish of the city lord and himself.

Create a prosperous world for the common people.His ability is limited, so what if he can't make way?

To make decisions at a high level for the well-being of the people, and to be busy with the people is also to create a better future.

All the same, high and low.

When Yuanyou returned home, it was already dark.

The candles were lit, and he picked up a book to read.The collection of books in the organ bird is difficult to understand, so he can only memorize it by rote and understand it bit by bit.

Only by learning a little more knowledge and using it more can we do more things.

In the dark night, some people study hard, and some people go to bed early.There are also people who have just separated from the friends they met and went home with lanterns.

The girl's name is Yuan Xixi.

She nodded in greeting as patrolling soldiers passed by.Yuan Xixi was in a great mood holding the gift from her friend.

Whether it was an illusion or not, she heard footsteps behind her.Stopping, Yuan Xixi saw a figure out of the corner of her eyes.

She was shocked, and ran forward with her skirt up.The people behind were even faster, covering Yuan Xixi's mouth and dragging her to the alley.She struggled hard, but was gradually submerged in the night.

The subtle voice was especially clear in the night, and when the soldiers patrolled here again, they found something was wrong.
