Chapter 67: Loser is not lost
The engagement banquet in the Dashun Commander's Office did not have a long time to have a drink. Zhang Xiaofan himself was too lazy to socialize and said very little during the meal.
Wang Yanlin also thought about how to act at the stick at her wedding banquet in ten days to catch all the kings and ministers in Dashun, and was absent-minded throughout the whole process.
Ma Xier is happy here, thinking that Wang Yanlin is shy and doesn't care too much about it.
After the food and drinks were finished, Zhang Xiaofan offered to say goodbye. Ma Shiyao took Zhang Xiaofan's hand and said a lot of polite words before letting Zhang Xiaofan leave.
After leaving the Dashun Supervisor's Office, Zhang Xiaofan did not go home directly. He was thinking about Diandian's affairs, so he simply turned around and went to Diandian's residence.
The location of Diandian's house is very remote and difficult for ordinary people to find. Fortunately, when Zhang Xiaofan returned to Tongguan, he personally sent Dian home, so he vaguely remembered the direction and route. After a few rounds, he arrived in front of Diandian's house.
It was daylight at this time, and the sun was still hanging high. However, a copper lock was hanging on the door outside the wall of the Diandian family, locking the gate tightly.
Zhang Xiaofan was surprised in his heart, not knowing why he locked the yard in broad daylight. However, such a lock could not stop Zhang Xiaofan.
He jumped gently and jumped into the yard directly from the low courtyard wall next to him.
The yard of Diandian's family is not big, with a lot of rags and debris piled up. In front of it is a blue brick tiled house. Zhang Xiaofan was about to look in front of him, but he heard a wave of whispers in a small side house next to the yard.
Zhang Xiaofan followed the sound and found that the one who made the sound was a woodshed room. This woodshed room was black and full of smoke marks.
On the top of the woodshed, there was a very large chain hanging. Through the gap in the door, I saw dry wood with high mountains placed on one side of the woodshed. On the other side was a stove with a large pot on it.
On the wall of the stove, there was a New Year picture of the Kitchen God. At this time, Diandian knelt under the New Year picture of the Kitchen God, constantly muttering:
"The Nine Heavens Dongchushi ordered Taiyi Yuanhuang to pay the blessings to the Lord Shantianzun~ Please be sure to bless my father and let me go out quickly. If it is too late, it will be too late!"
Zhang Xiaofan was funny outside. He didn't know why Diandian kowtowed and worshiped the Kitchen God, so he stretched out two fingers and gently bounced the door twice.
When Dian Dian heard the door sound, he said softly, "The Kitchen God has appeared!"
Zhang Xiaofan was both angry and funny when he heard this, and whispered: "What is the Kitchen God? It's me."
Dian Dian heard it was Zhang Xiaofan's voice and hurriedly said, "Oh, it's a little white-faced. You can save me quickly, I'm locked in it by my father."
Zhang Xiaofan snorted, reached out and pulled out the Yuliang sword, and was about to cut off the chain.
Diandian hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, no. Why are you so violent? My family is just such a good iron chain, and you will have to tie a pigpen in the future. It's not bad if you cut it off. After my father comes back, he has to settle the score with me."
Zhang Xiaofan stopped the sword force helplessly and checked the iron chain on the door again. It turned out that the iron chain was just hung on the door. Although it could not be pushed open inside, it could be taken off outside the door.
So Zhang Xiaofan took off the iron chain, pushed the door and entered the woodshed.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Diandian seemed to have lost weight. The black and gray on her face was probably accidentally rubbed by the coal ash on the stove.
Zhang Xiaofan frowned and said, "Why did your father lock you up?"
Diandian pouted and said angrily: "My father was angry that I left home without saying a word, and did not listen to my explanation. He locked me in this woodshed and was punished. He said that he would not be allowed to go out if he didn't finish chopping the wood. This woodshed pile is as high as a mountain, how could it be chopped?"
"By the way, don't say that. Someone came to send an invitation a few days ago. I heard that Brother Ma..."
Zhang Xiaofan was a little hesitant when he heard Diandian mention this. He knew that Diandian had a deep love for Ma Xier, and he didn't know how to tell Diandian.
He hesitated for a moment, and felt that long pain was better than short pain. He said directly: "Yes, Ma Xier is getting married, the bride is not you. She is the woman with big breasts."
"I just finished their engagement party today. On the way back, I thought about coming and seeing you. Let me tell you this news."
Zhang Xiaofan thought that after saying this, Diandian would either shout loudly or cry secretly. However, Diandian only sighed quietly and said:
"Oh, I actually knew it was the result."
"At the beginning, I didn't have so many extravagant expectations. I just sat on the steps of the Supervisor's Office, thinking that I could see him from a distance every day and be satisfied."
"I didn't expect that we could spend so long together day and night together. In fact, God has treated him well."
"People are always unsatisfied. They have already obtained a lot, but they still don't think they are enough."
"I'm just a little bit unwilling to accept it. That big-breasted woman obviously met Brother Ma later..."
"You said, it would be great if I could meet Brother Ma two years later. Maybe my figure would be taller at that time..."
Since Zhang Xiaofan met Dian, the little girl Dian, Dian Dian has always been full of vitality, but at this moment he was full of sorrow.
Zhang Xiaofan thought of comforting him, but he had never comforted him. When he reached his mouth, he sucked and spitted for a long time, but finally changed his taste:
"Your bean sprouts are a few years earlier, and they are not the same bean sprouts. Be cheering up. Isn't it just a broken heart? Who hasn't had it?"
If it is normal, when you hear the three words "bean sprouts", Diandian will definitely jump up. But today it is like a eggplant made by frost, and just said lightly: "Well, have you ever been heartbroken?"
Zhang Xiaofan paused for a while and said for a long time: "I have never been in love, but I have made others fall in love many times, and I can see it clearly when I look at it."
Diandian whispered, "Oh, it turns out you don't understand."
Zhang Xiaofan said angrily: "Who said I don't understand? Today is just an engagement banquet, not a worship of heaven and earth. You are not hopeless yet."
"In this way, I will take you to Ma Xier's place now. I will say something clearly so that I can avoid any regrets in the future."
When Diandian heard that he was about to see Ma Xier, he suddenly became timid and said, "I, I'd better not go there. What should I say when I go there? It was hopeless."
Zhang Xiaofan said helplessly, "I watched a movie when I was a child...well, a drama. A fat old man in it said, never give up. Once you give up, hope will be gone."
"To be honest, I think you have little chance of success. But losing is not a bad situation. Look at you, you are now in a mess, just like a cat."
"You haven't dressed up any more since the day I met you. So how can you compare with that big-breasted woman?"
"If you do this, I'll go back and get some rouge powder for you. You're dressed up beautifully. Don't be looked down upon."
"No matter what, they are friends who are suffering from hardships. Even if you don't talk about anything else, you should always meet Ma Xier today."
Zhang Xiaofan is a cold-hearted person, and Diandian is sincere and risking his life to save him, so he is also very concerned about Diandian's affairs. Seeing Diandian being trapped by love and losing his past spirit, he also wants to help Diandian do something.
Dian Dian was really moved by the words Zhang Xiaofan said. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not possible during the day. Although my father locked me up, I actually know what he is thinking."
"I almost went crazy these days when I didn't say goodbye. I don't know how many trips I went to and how much money I spent in the major yamen in the city and outside the city."
"He was so anxious at that time, he was so angry now. So I definitely couldn't sneak out during the day, so as not to get angry any more anxious."
"So, come here to pick me up tonight, let's go to Brother Ma's place together...at least, at least look at him again, as if he had lost his thoughts."
Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll get some rouge and water powder now. Come here to find you in the evening."
Zhang Xiaofan turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Dian Dian: "Young Master Zhang, I...I have something small."
Zhang Xiaofan was most afraid that Diandian called him "Young Master Zhang". It would be nothing good if he called him. However, today, seeing Diandian's love breakup, he turned his head and said, "After saying that, you must be a big deal."
Dian Dian waved her hand and said, "It's really not a big deal. My father locked me in this room and said he wanted me to chop all the firewood. But I was absent-minded today and didn't do much."
"Your sword is very sharp, please help me chop the firewood."
If someone dared to talk to Zhang Xiaofan like this, Zhang Xiaofan would not only not know how to chop firewood, but he might even chop people.
However, today I saw Diandian's listless look, and I couldn't help but refuse. I had to bite the bullet and say, "Okay, isn't it just chopping wood? As long as you are more energetic, I can cut this room."
As he said that, he took out his sword and actually chopped up the firewood next to him.
The firewood piles in this room were originally piled up very high, but if Dian Dian wanted to chop, it would probably take ten days and half a month. However, Zhang Xiaofan's sword god sharp picks up firewood with one hand and dances with the other. He didn't have much time to chop the firewood piles.
After all, the little girl's character was so clear that she actually smiled when she saw Zhang Xiaofan slashing cleanly and said, "Young-faced kung fu is getting better and better. Don't be lazy when you practice martial arts in the future. This month's firewood is almost enough. I'll find you to chop firewood next month."
Zhang Xiaofan had a dark face and thought to himself: "Is my leveling and experience every day to help you chop firewood?"
However, I was in a bad mood today and didn't say much. I left the woodshed and hung the iron chains again as they were. So I went to prepare rouge and water powder.
As Zhang Xiaofan, he naturally didn't have to worry about trivial matters such as buying things. After calling his subordinates a few times, he naturally went to help Zhang Xiaofan find the best rouge powder in Tongguan City.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Xiaofan returned to his mansion. He originally wanted to take a break and go online to visit Ma Xier's Governor's Office at night with Diandian.
But as soon as he arrived in front of the mansion, he saw the huge black hole created by Xiong Yuanba. Zhang Xiaofan was surprised to see this black hole, and he didn't know what powerful martial arts Xiong Yuanba had learned.
I studied the black hole for a long time, but I didn't find any results. It seemed that there was nothing too surprising except for the map of a spherical area in front of my mansion.
At this time, my subordinates bought almost the same amount of rouge and water, and piled up a lot of them in front of Zhang Xiaofan in small bags.
No matter what era, women's makeup will never be too simple. Zhang Xiaofan originally thought that a box of rouge and a box of gouache would be enough.
He instructed his men to choose the best ones to buy some. But unexpectedly, there were so many patterns in this rouge and water powder. There were a lot of dressing boxes of various combinations.
Zhang Xiaofan couldn't tell the difference, so he just stewed it with a spoonful of stewed and wrapped it all in a large wrap.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Zhang Xiaofan returned to Dian's home with this large bag of rouge and water.
According to the location during the day, Zhang Xiaofan came to the woodshed again and pushed the door, but found that the door was not locked, and it was dark inside, and Diandian didn't seem to look like it was inside.
While Zhang Xiaofan was hesitating in front of the woodshed, he heard a soft sound of pushing the door from a side room next to him. Zhang Xiaofan turned around and saw Dian Dian sticking to the crack of the door and whispered: "Little white face, here, why are you going to the woodshed again? Come in quickly."
Zhang Xiaofan then suddenly realized that he was not an enemy. Dad Li locked his daughter in the woodshed during the day and would naturally let her go back to the room to sleep at night. He was also thinking a little bit.
When Zhang Xiaofan came to Diandian's room and spread the huge rouge wrap, Diandian was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking.
She was born in poverty, and she used to get a small box of rouge during the Chinese New Year, which was a good gift. She had never seen such an exaggerated makeup box.
No matter how old a woman is, she has no resistance to this thing. Although Diandian is devoted to looking at Ma Xier, she can't let go of so much rouge and water powder when she sees so much.
I couldn't help but open it like this and then look it. I wish I could try it one by one.
Zhang Xiaofan looked anxious and said, "These things are for you. If you have time, try them one by one. Hurry up and dress up quickly. If it is too late, Ma Xier will go to bed. It's hard to ask him to get up again."
When Diandian heard this, he suppressed his curiosity and hurriedly seized some time.
However, Diandian has never seen so much rouge and moisture before, and has no experience in dressing up. He got so much rouge at once, but he didn't know how to use it.
I couldn't help but try each one, but after applying it, the powder on my face became thicker and thicker. Zhang Xiaofan didn't know how to dress up, so he helped me explain it to me, but instead felt that the more I applied it, the more ugly it looked.
Diandian's family has a bronze mirror, but it is also a bargain bought from outside. It was originally vague and couldn't see clearly. In addition, the lights were dim at night and it took a long time to apply it. It looked white on the face and red lips, which seemed to look pretty good.
So he asked Zhang Xiaofan, "How is it? Is it okay?"
Zhang Xiaofan had been impatient at this time and nodded frequently and said, "The Seven Fairies are just like this. Don't apply it anymore, this is perfect."
Dian Dian asked: "Then what do you think is better than that big-breasted woman?"
Zhang Xiaofan looked at Diandian's pale face and red lips, and gritted his teeth and said against his heart: "All wins, she will definitely not be able to compare to you."
