"No! No!" said the lazy monkey first. "I remember everything the master told me every moment."
Li Kui also said, "Master, I haven't forgotten what you told me, really! I was planning to go to your house to pay New Year's greetings in the next few days, and I'll report to you by the way."
"Get out of here." Zhang Shixun didn't want to talk about things on the street, nor did he want people to see him with these two guys.
"Just do what you need to do, don't harm the people. As for New Year's greetings, forget it. I don't need you to wish me a happy new year."
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The two of them agreed repeatedly, got up and ran.
The lazy monkey and the other man ran a few steps and then ran back together. Li Kui pointed at the copper coin in Zhang Shixun's hand and stammered, "Master, this... copper coin..."
Zhang Shixun said angrily, "Do you still want to deceive people?"
The lazy monkey shrank his neck and said, "Master...Master, we need to eat too, right?"
Yes, these people have no source of income and don't know how to make a living. We can't just let them go without food. People like Li Kui have families to support.
Zhang Shixun pondered for a moment, then said to Li Kui, who was approaching, "Go back first. I'll consider your livelihood later."
As he said this, he threw the copper coin back to the slow monkey.
Looking at their backs, Ding Du said, "Sir, these two people don't seem to be good people."
"Don't ask about these things. Curiosity kills the cat... Let's go, buy some gifts and go celebrate the New Year."
Ding Dusai followed Zhang Shixun closely, wondering how he could have killed the cat.
Seeing Zhang Shixun frowning and walking forward, Ding Dusai followed behind him obediently.
Only after buying all the gifts did Zhang Shixun's frown finally relax. He smiled and said to Ding Duchui: "Saisai, to be honest, this is my first time visiting your house for New Year's greetings, and I was a little nervous."
"Are you nervous?" Ding Dusai found it funny.
"Of course I'm worried. Your mother is very kind. Seeing her is like seeing my own mother. But your father has a very strange temper. What if he doesn't let me in?"
Ding Dusai frowned upon hearing this, "Yes, we don't have any matchmakers or legal guardians, so if we meet someone like my father, it's really hard to say."
Zhang Shixun hesitated: "We are engaged in a secret marriage, your father..."
Before he could finish his words, Ding Dusai pinched him and stamped his feet, saying, "Who secretly promised to spend their lives with you? Disgusting!"
Zhang Shixun stopped and looked at the crowded street. He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any good idea.
Ding Dusai saw that he was worried and was very understanding. "Sir, you'd better not go. If you are kicked out by your father, it will be embarrassing for you."
"No! We have to go." Zhang Shixun said decisively: "If your father won't let me in, I will kick the door open and force my way in."
"No! Absolutely not." Ding Dusai was shocked. Why did this man kick the door at every turn? It reminded her of their encounter on the rainy night.
"Anyway, your family is going to decide."
"But..." Ding Dusai felt extremely conflicted when he heard him say that so firmly. He wanted to let him go, but he was also afraid that he would have a falling out with his father. If that happened, it would be difficult to turn things around in the future.
As he was speaking, Zhang Shixun saw a young man coming out of a shop, carrying a lot of things in his hands, big and small bags.
The man wore a Dongpo scarf and looked very refined, like a scholar.
Behind him followed a gorgeously dressed woman with only a handkerchief in her hand, who kept urging the scholar to walk faster.
"Saisai, see that woman over there? She's so brave and confident walking down the street."
"Brother, I'm a married woman. How can I compare with her?"
Zhang Shixun felt very fresh and familiar when she called him "official brother". His heart was moved and he blurted out, "Even if you are not married yet, you will be married soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, his ear felt tight and was pinched by Ding Dusai.
"Brother, don't talk like that." Ding Dusai blushed, and this time she omitted the word "sir".
In any case, it is time to wish your future father-in-law and mother-in-law a happy new year.
Zhang Shixun adopted the dumbest, most direct and easiest way to wish her a happy new year - to stun her parents with generous gifts!
So, his horse's back and his own body were hung with New Year's gifts.
"My dear, why did you buy so many gifts?" Ding Dusai followed him happily with empty hands. The more things her lover bought, the happier she felt.
Zhang Shixun answered honestly, "I feel a little guilty and can't think of a better solution, so I have to resort to this last resort."
"Feeling guilty?" Ding Dusai found it funny.
"Well! A guilty conscience is always a thief."
"A thief?" Ding Dusai asked curiously, "What kind of thief did you do?"
"Stealing your father's father's granddaughter, isn't that a thief?" Zhang Shixun deliberately teased her in a roundabout way.
"You stole my father's father's granddaughter...Ah! You are so bad!" Ding Dusai took a long time to react and raised his fist to hit him.
Zhang Shixun laughed, "Hehe!" "Actually, you're a thief too. We're in the same group."
Ding Dusai rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who is in the same group with you? I am not in the same group with you."
"You are an internal traitor, colluding with me, an external traitor. Of course we are in the same group." Zhang Shixun grinned.
"I won't be in cahoots with you."
"Even if they are not in cahoots, they are in collusion."
Ding Dusai suppressed his laughter and said with a straight face, "Okay, I admit I got on board, but I regret it now. I've decided to turn over a new leaf and jump off the pirate ship."
"That's easy to say, but now that we're on this pirate ship, how can we just get off? I'm telling you, no way!"
"I insist on getting off, what can you do to me?"
"I have no choice but to go all the way." Zhang Shixun put on a vicious look.
"Ah! Are you going to kill someone to silence him?" Ding Dusai looked terrified.
Zhang Shixun saw her pitiful look and lowered his voice, "I can't bear to let her go."
"Hmph! I don't think you dare!" Ding Dusai raised his chin and looked at him contemptuously.
After all, she was a star in the drama world of that era. Her facial expressions were rich and colorful, and every frown and smile was a highlight, which made Zhang Shixun stunned.
"Don't stare at me. Go on. What exactly do you want to do?"
"I'm quitting the army and becoming a bandit instead."
"Ah!" Ding Dusai was surprised.
"If you don't become a thief inside, I can't continue to be a thief outside. I have no choice but to become a bandit."
"Why do you want to be a bandit?" Ding Dusai blinked his beautiful eyes and waited to hear what was to come.
"I was forced to do this."
"And then?" Ding Dusai began to like the way the two of them joked with each other.
"Then, I just...just..."
"Just what? Tell me."
Zhang Shixun said viciously, "I am filled with rage and anger."
"Wow! That's scary... Go on. I'm really curious."
