There will definitely be various dignitaries at the New Year's Eve banquet. Moreover, it is getting dark, and it will take a lot of time to deal with that group of people. Tang Ningning thought about it for a while and shook her head.

"Mother Li, I'm just a peasant woman and I can't get into the upper echelons of society, so I'd better give up."

Peasant woman?

How could she be a mere peasant woman with such a conversation and temperament?

Thinking of what the old lady told her, Mrs. Li felt regretful and said with a considerate smile, "The old lady said, don't make things difficult, madam, just do what you want."

After saying that, he gave her the silver reward.

Tang Ningning came to her senses and shook the purse in her hand.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Thank you, madam, for your love."

"It's getting dark soon. Madam Tang, please go home quickly and spend New Year's Eve with your family."

Tang Ningning nodded and left the Wen Mansion. She saw a pool of blood on the back door. Thinking of everything that happened in the kitchen, her scalp went numb and she patted her chest in fear. This man was indeed ruthless.

Fortunately I didn't provoke him.

Tang Ningning was frightened and quickly rummaged through her purse. Good guy, there are a total of fifty taels, which is thirty-five taels more than what was said before.

He is indeed very wealthy.

With a thought, she put the silver into the space.

Start walking towards the gate of the town.

Now, I won’t have to worry about the money to build a house during the Chinese New Year.

Enough.

It was already dark, and there were almost no people in the town. Tang Ningning searched around and saw no one pulling anyone in. She hurried to the city gate. When she arrived at the city gate, everyone had locked the door.

Out of the city.

She glanced at the road back to the village and frowned.

The road back to the village is long.

Both sides of the road were deserted and pitch black, with only the moon shining on the ground, shining a little light.

Tang Ningning took a deep breath.

No matter what, I can only walk back.

At night, the cold wind was blowing, and the sound of bamboo firecrackers could be heard from time to time. She thought about the children at home and left in a hurry.

He almost fell into the gutter.

He stood up, patted the dirty mud on his coat, and continued towards the village.

behind.

A man in black robe on horseback followed closely all the way, making the quiet night feel a little more peaceful.

"Sir, are you still following?"

The guard who spoke was holding a sword in his hand and riding a black horse. He was about twenty years old.

"and."

when?

How could his young master secretly follow a woman such a long way?

Moreover, isn't this the place where the young master went to find Master Biao two days ago? He was trapped in the mountain for several days, why are you here again?

The guard looked at the man riding a horse in front of him with confusion and scratched his head.

He quickly followed him.

This road is long and quiet.

The guard looked at the completely dark sky, wondering if they were going to live on the mountain here?

The woman walking in front was getting more and more tired. The guard looked at her carefully and suddenly remembered something. He asked, "Sir, is this the woman in the letter sent by Jian Ying?"

Jian Ying has been hiding in the General's Mansion for many years, and the news he got is that this person is from Dayue Village.

Seeing how interested the young master is, is it possible that General Gu really got married?

"What do you think?"

The guard secretly screamed, the young master was angry, and he quickly shut his mouth.

Finally, when he arrived at Dayue Village in the middle of the night, he saw several children standing at the entrance of the village. The woman hurriedly greeted them, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the sky.

He asked, "Sir, shall we go back?"

The man didn't say anything. He glanced at the people leaving, then wrapped his big hands around and grabbed the reins. The horse was startled, roared to the sky, and started to rush forward. The guard hurriedly shouted, "Young Master, you are running so fast, wait for me.

.”

----------

"Mom, why did I hear the sound of the horse?"

Tang Ningning looked at Gu Yan, ignored her words, nodded her head, and lectured her, "You're not allowed to come out in the middle of the night anymore, do you hear me?" After saying that, she glanced at Gu Han who was walking in front.

.

"Mom, Aunt Luo is taking care of her younger brothers and sisters. Don't worry. It's so late and we are all worried about you."

arrive home.

Aunt Luo had already put the two children to sleep. She looked at Tang Ningning and sighed, "You go out to make money during the Chinese New Year and leave a few children. If it weren't for Gu Han's cleverness, your family would have been raided by those two men.

.”

"What's going on?" Tang Ningning was surprised.

Gu Han told the story clearly.

It turned out that this idiot had been hanging around in front of their house for several days. Gu Han noticed it but didn't say anything.

Always waiting for the opportunity.

Today, that idiot actually sneaked into the house, found that she was not there, and rummaged through the kitchen.

When Gu Han heard the commotion, he released Xiao Bai and drove the people away.

"Thankfully you're not here, otherwise what would happen to your reputation if someone saw you in the middle of the night?" Aunt Luo took out the hot pancakes from the pot and put them away for her.

Tangning Ning glanced at the fence through the door, her eyes growing colder by the minute.

The house must be built quickly.

"He just likes to sneak around." Gu Yan was angry.

No, this is trash.

He must be harboring bad ideas.

I just wasn't smart and chose a time when she wasn't around.

"Okay, it's the Chinese New Year. Let's not talk about being unhappy. You guys should go to bed quickly after eating. You'll be very busy tomorrow morning and have to worship the Lord of the Land."

Tang Ningning took a bite of the cake and hurriedly greeted Widow Luo back home.

During the night, several children woke up several times.

They were all woken up by the sound of firecrackers.

It was not yet Mao hour and it was still very dark.

The entire Dayue Village has been immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year. Every household has gotten up and begun to place tributes to worship the door god, the Kitchen God.

"Sleep a little longer." Tang Ningning covered her head with the quilt.

But Gu Zhou and Gu Ge were too noisy and crawled all over her.

"Mom, get up soon. The eldest brother and the second brother are going to worship at the Earth Temple?"

Little Gu Ge speaks more and more eloquently. He stands on the kang with his mouth bulging and holding new clothes in his hands. He is so cute.

Tang Ningning looked at the children on the kang and listened to the lively sound of firecrackers outside, and couldn't help but laugh.

"That's right, mother, why are you so lazy today?"

"Mom, you have to make red bean porridge before eldest brother and I come back, and you can't eat meat today. Don't forget." Little Gu Zhou saw that eldest brother had put on new clothes and quickly took his new clothes.
