Lai Fang woke up in the strong smell of rice. She opened her eyes and shook her numb head. In the future, she will not take on such jobs that require rush work, burning her life.

"It's time to eat." Yu Xumo turned around in the steaming heat and smiled at her.Lai Fang got up quickly, walked to the stove with a crackling noise, and sniffed it. "What to eat, it's so delicious."

The happiest person who cooks is the food that others love to eat. Yu Xumo looked at Lai Fang's red eyes and said, "Don't stay up all night in the future, just use that little light, what can you do, burn your eyes." It's broken." Seeing Lai Fang nodding, he lifted the wooden lid on the pot, and the aroma came to his face. “Clam tofu miso soup.”

Lai Fang took the basin to wash up, "I'll be right back." Seeing what she said, Yu Xumo took a spoonful of rice from the pot that had been stuffed earlier, loosened the rice gently with a wooden spoon, and scooped another spoonful. , get loose.He filled a bowl of boiling hot soup, and took some pickled radishes from the jar and put them on shallow plates.Lai Fang can't eat too hot food, it's best to be slightly hot.After arranging her meal and putting it on the low table, she filled her own.When Lai Fang came in in a clean suit, it was just time for dinner.

After dinner, Lai Fang coded up the lamps that the store wanted, put them on a back shelf, and prepared to deliver the goods.

"Well, I'm going to go to the street with Axiu to look at the lamp today." Yu Xumo and Lai Fang said.

"Okay, bring some money, buy what you like to eat, and have enough money." Lai Fang said while stepping on his wooden clogs.She didn't expect carpenters to make so much money. She thought that if she couldn't get along in Ji Yifan in the future, she might as well open a carpenter's shop in Edo.Lai Fang felt that she had a lot of money. Firstly, she was good at craftsmanship and did fine work. Naturally, her earnings were different from those of craftsmen. Moreover, they were young and had few relatives.Even if others earn about the same, the rest will not be more than them.For example, Axiu's mother was a plasterer, and she was also very sought-after, earning a lot of money.However, with three children who opened their mouths, the money was a bit cramped.

When Lai Fang left the room, he saw that the soldiers and guards at the opposite door were about to go to the enforcement office to serve their duties. What was rare was that Ah Sheng also woke up, groomed very neatly, as if he was about to go to the street. "Still on patrol today?" Lai Fang asked politely.After getting acquainted with each other, she realized that Yubei is the Tongxin of the Town Magistrate, and the people who actually perform official duties in the Town Magistrate are Yuli and Tongxin, and Tongxin is usually Yuli's subordinate.But Yobei is "Huifang", directly under the town's administrative office and at the same level as Yori, and even because she is a "temporary Hui", she is equivalent to an instructor and supervisor, and her rank is slightly higher.To put it simply, Yobei is the Edo police, don't snatch the kind in uniform.Oh, it's a riding saber.

In fact, sitting in Yubei's position today, there are many ways to make money, but she is an upright person, which is rarely the case.Even, because of the small number of people with Li and Tongxin, although she served as a temporary return, she still patrols and handles cases with her colleagues. She is a very professional civil servant.However, in terms of family, Yubingwei is a little weaker. The whole courtyard heard the dispute last night. This morning, Ah Sheng is like this. It is a direct oath of victory.What other people's life is like, only the family knows.Lai Fang is not as unacceptable to Ah Sheng and the way of getting along with Bingwei as others are, and because of this, Ah Sheng is not as sharp towards her as he is to other people in the yard.Of course, Lai Fang's identity is also here.

At first Ah Sheng was very unbalanced for a while, and even wanted to move, why?He has always been the only one in the yard, very respectable, now that Lai Fang is here, and Yu Xumo is also here, and he is forced to be compared.But after living for a long time, seeing that Lai Fang is not public, Yu Xumo basically stays at home, dresses, words and deeds do not surpass himself a lot, even Lai Fang has become a craftsman, so he is smooth.Occasionally, when washing clothes by the well, I can still chat with Yu Xumo.Of course, this kind of treatment is not available to Axiu, because Asheng feels that he is the husband of a samurai, and his identity is very different. He loses his identity when he socializes with Axiu.

Knowing that everyone must have known about the dispute between him and A Sheng last night, Yubei was not embarrassed, so he nodded slightly and said, "Well, I am on patrol today, and I will take A Sheng around. Lai Fang, this is your first time If you spend the 'first afternoon' in Edo, you must have a good time."

Lai Fang thought about how Axiu's two younger sisters were having a fight last night, and he was really looking forward to Chuwu.She nodded and left.Ah Yuan took a day off from the shop today, and went to drink tea in a tea house, which was almost integrated into her daily routine, as natural as getting up to wash her face.The reason why I asked for leave today is probably to see if I can ask Axian to go out for a stroll.If it is said that strong girls are afraid of pestering their husbands, it is actually the other way around.As for Arima, he avoided going out early, for fear of facing his master, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.In fact, Lai Fang may not have observed it so carefully, she just had a ghost in her heart.

Lai Fang went out of the alley and turned into the main road. The festive atmosphere was very strong.The shops along the way were basically hung with lights and flags fluttering in the wind. The children hadn't come out yet, but there were obviously many more shopkeepers than usual, and the goods they picked were also suitable for the occasion.The market in Edo is a market with a relatively balanced supply and demand relationship. There are no hard and fast rules or restrictions, and there are few official buyouts.Therefore, the atmosphere presented in the market is active, and the types of goods are rich and colorful.

She first went to the store to hand over the goods, and the owner politely gave her the cash.Edo is a fire-prone city. It was burned down and then rebuilt. In its short history, there have been several fires. That's why it has such a clean plan. It's a blessing in disguise.Because of this, people in Edo basically don’t have any money in their hands. If Lai Fang came here, she might feel that this is a negative and pessimistic attitude. The pride of being drunk today.

Along the way, I ran into neighbors, that is, two single women in two rooms at the door, one in her 40s and the other in her twenties.The older one is called Ah Pan, who is a gossip-teller, don't doubt it, just like the fortune-teller in the ancient costume drama of the Celestial Dynasty.It is to set up a stall, spread a piece of cloth, stick a cloth banner, and tell people's fortune.She is single because there are few men, and because this man is a glutton, eating whatever is delicious.She dared to go to the famous Edo restaurant "Eight Hundred Zen" for a table of one or two gold. The money was spent here. She probably will be single in this life, but she herself enjoys it.

The 20-year-old woman is called Abi, she is a hard-working but innocuous girl. She has done all kinds of apprenticeships, but she ran away before she could be an apprentice.Now I do business without capital every day. In the morning, I go to "Baiyiwen" to borrow [-] yuan for capital, sell whatever I see is good, and pay back [-] yuan with interest at night.When Lai Fang saw her today, she was wearing a dress with a tail, painted a beard on her face, clipped two small ears, and sold fox candies.Since it was early afternoon, the children would be playing in the street for a while, so it must be good money.Lai Fang was surprised to find that cosplay in Japan started so early.Seeing the child who Abi bought candy dancing the fox dance, smiling heartlessly, Lai Fang also smiled, what is happiness, only you know.

It is not common to see people in the same yard, that is, Ah Xiu's mother, A Qiao. She is the first to go out and the last to come back. Life has squeezed all the energy out of this person.Sometimes, Lai Fang felt that if it weren't for Axiu and the others, she would have no expectations for life and would live a life like an ascetic.Fortunately, Ah Xiu is sensible, the Gu family, although the two younger ones are naughty, they are still quite obedient.

Lai Fang walked along the street, not knowing that her steps were easy and blissful. In the eyes of others, she was not happy.

As she was walking, Lai Fang's steps suddenly became heavier. Gradually, she stopped and stood in the middle of the road.The flags along the road are fluttering, and the early afternoon sun is shining on the road. People walking on the road are full of hope for life and full of energy.Lai Fang loves this kind of picture, this is the proof that she is still alive, and it is also what she pursues.It's just that, now, all of these have become bleak, reduced to a foil for the person walking towards him.Lai Fang felt that someone had punched her hard in the chest, and her nose was sore from the pain. It turned out that this was blue, and she seemed to recognize this color for the first time.The oncoming man, in his 20s, wore mid-blue underwear and a dark blue Wufu dyed with black ink, with huge swastikas and cursive Chinese characters spread on it, but it was not distracting to the eyes, and charming to the eyes. Yes, it's the one who wears clothes.The thin lips that seem to be smiling but not smiling, the two brightest stars are shining in the eyes, and the flying eyebrows make the three-dimensional facial features look as tough as a knife.

The man was smiling, with supercilious eyes, as if he didn't care about anything.However, under such arrogance, Lai Fang felt that this person's loneliness was so clear that it hurt her as if it had substance.Lai Fang clenched his fists, feeling his palms were icy cold, wanting to run away desperately, this is the instinct of human self-protection.When people become weak, in cruel circumstances, it means death.This instinct, carried over to the relationship between men and women, is equally applicable.

The man received a lot of attention along the way, both from men and women, he was used to it, and walked his own way.In his eyes, these people are no different from the flags on the road, just for show.But the eyes of the girl in the middle of the road opposite made him feel dazzling.The emotions in it made him a little strange, it wasn't amazement, it wasn't coveting, it wasn't fear, it was shock, fear, and sympathy.The corner of the man's mouth was still smiling, but his eyes were cold. His hand touched the saber at his waist.
