Chapter 191

    There are still seven days until the first day of April.

    Liu Yu set this time, on the one hand, Xiao Yuniang can wait for news from her relatives, and on the other hand, leave a few days for Xiao Yuniang to check some things.

    During these seven days, she stayed in the inn room without going out, and even the jade pendant was sent back to the pawn shop by Lu Chengxiao alone.

    Just as Liu Yu expected, Xiao Yuniang is a person who is careful and vigilant enough. It is impossible for her to remain unmoved when Liu Yu points to this point. Liu Yu and Lu Chengxiao walked away. Xiao Yuniang thought for a moment and wrote a letter , called the servant girl to send her out overnight.

    Early in the morning of the second day, a game ticket was sent to Liuxian Pavilion, so Xiao Yuniang was naturally asked to be out.

    She dressed up meticulously, took five or six maids and wives, and went to Nancheng in a carriage.

    The person who handed over the ticket today is not considered a rich man. To be honest, he is considered to be half a character in the Jianghu. If he is said to be half, it means that he has not been in the Jianghu in recent years.

    This person's surname is Bai, and Xiao Yuniang is an old acquaintance. He was Xiao Yuniang's benefactor who supported her when she first debuted. He is just a figure in the world. Like Xiao Yuniang's worth, there are only a few marriages in a year, and sometimes he can't find anyone for a year or so .     But such a character can make Xiao Yuniang remember, and if there is something to be found, it is natural that he has some skills. A swordsman who has been in the rivers and lakes can have some reputation. How could he be a crooked melon and a bad date? Nian was also called a young hero.     In the blink of an eye, ten years later, Young Master Bai has half-retired from the arena, transformed himself, took over the backing of some low-level forces in Yangzhou City, and became the current Lord Bai.     It's just that the beauty's kindness remains the same as before, and Xiao Yuniang's handwritten letter can still be answered immediately.     After entering the White House, the place is still deserted, and a man is still alone in his 30s. According to him, he has a promiscuous nature, so there is no need to hang himself from a tree.     The friendship formed when they were young, when the two met, they naturally felt affectionate. After the cloud and rain, Master Bai took the initiative to ask Xiao Yuniang about it, but encountered a difficult situation.

    Xiao Yuniang has learned a lot of tricks in these years. She has never spoken the truth to men, but she has a bit of sincerity to him, and she doesn't lie. It's over.

    It was related to what Liu Yu said, so she asked Master Bai to help find out if Sun Qian and King Huainan had anything to do with each other.

    Master Bai treated this beauty a little differently. He asked Sun Qian and King Huainan about the situation, and he didn't feel embarrassed. He agreed to the matter and promised to give her a reply within three to five days.

    It was said that it was three or five days, but in fact someone sent a letter to Xiao Yuniang on the third day. Sun Qian and the King of Huainan hadn't met yet, but they were just asking around recently, thinking of ways to get in touch with the King of Huainan. It was for the purpose of offering the Sun family's rouge into the palace through King Huainan, in order to go one step further and become an imperial merchant.

    Xiao Yuniang almost tore up the letter paper in her hand, after a while she regained her composure, and rewarded the boy who delivered the letter with a piece of silver, saying: "Please run errands, and thank you Bai Lord for me."

    The boy took the silver, thank you After Xiao Yuniang left, Xiao Yuniang lit the letter paper on the candlestick, saw that the writing on it was burnt, threw the rest of the paper into the copper basin, took two deep breaths, and then called the maid from the outside to come in, and said: "Go Check to see if mom is in her room." The

    little servant girl led the order to go out, and after a while she replied that she was there.

    Xiao Yuniang didn't say much, got up and walked out.

    The popular oiran wants to redeem herself, but the red lady is not willing, and this is too sudden.

    Xiao Yuniang said: "Mom just sees that I haven't caused you any trouble in the past ten years, and I have devoted myself to making money for the building. Now that I am no longer young, let me get away? What's more, you don't have any money in your hands now. There is no good seedling who can take my place." The

    red lady knew who she was referring to, and sighed: "How can she compare with you? After all, she is still worse."

    Xiao Yuniang was a cash cow she raised, but the red lady thought It is also clear that at the age of twenty-six, the food in this industry is indeed coming to an end. She has always known that Xiao Yuniang wanted to save money to redeem herself, but she did not expect it to be so sudden.

    The red lady couldn't help but think of the woman disguised as a man who came that day, and asked: "Why is she so good-looking, and suddenly wants to redeem herself? Could it be that the guest that day was an old acquaintance of yours?"

    Xiao Yuniang thought of Liu Yu's appearance. The girl who stayed in the building for a short time didn't know, but she stayed there for ten years, but she knew very well who the red lady was in private. As for the details, it is unknown which day he cheated someone.

    Although Liu Yu and Lu Chengxiao were quite careful that day, they didn't reveal anything to others. After all, it's not a good thing to be missed by the red lady and the like. How could Xiao Yuniang cause trouble for Liu Yu, showing a puzzled look: "Where are you going?" A guest?" The

    red lady looked suspiciously at Xiao Yuniang's face, and seeing that she didn't know who she was referring to, she said, "I don't believe you can't see that girl disguised as a man, she was born really good-looking, what a pity..." It's a

    pity that she failed To her?

    Xiao Yuniang was annoyed in her heart, but she didn't reveal anything on her face. She bent her lips and smiled, as if thinking of something funny, "That? Mom, please don't get her ideas. Although she doesn't reveal the details, I look at it like The ones from Jingli don’t seem like we can afford to provoke them.” The

    red lady said, “Why didn’t I see that they were from Beijing?”

    Xiao Yuniang smiled: “It’s the truth that came out of the conversation.” The

    red lady Thinking about Xiao Yuniang's tricks, she believed it, and asked curiously, "Then why is she here?"

    Xiao Yuniang smiled, half-covered her mouth and said something to Hong Niangzi.

    Ladies and gentlemen, come to learn this?

    The red lady was dumbfounded, thinking that she was acting capriciously, Xiao Yuniang said that they couldn't afford to offend the little lady's wealth, but now she really believed it, and she restrained her thoughts, and no longer cared about Liu Yu's appearance.

    Xiao Yuniang wanted to redeem herself, so the red lady naturally persuaded her a lot. She even asked Xiao Yuniang to stay in the building to teach her to teach the new girls, and then she told her how to deal with each other. I won't go into details for now.

    Xiao Yuniang has made up her mind to go, and she is willing to redeem her body. After all, Hong Niang can't force her to stay. At least she has been in love with her for more than ten years. Naturally, it is also because Xiao Yuniang's value that can be squeezed is really not much. After two days of grinding, she finally loosened up. mouth.

    On the first night of April, Liu Yu and Lu Chengxiao came to Liuxian Pavilion again.

    This time I changed into another outfit, and it looked like it was still expensive, it wasn't bought, Liu Yu and Lu Chengxiao couldn't afford the outfits now, so I took back the one hundred taels of deposit and exchanged it for a gold coin for today's Knock money.

    But there are ways to dress decently, isn't this already a face-to-face relationship with the pawnshop shopkeeper?

    Once born and secondly familiar, this time even the clothes were rented from the pawn shop. The couple's own good outfits were used as a pressure, and they spent five taels of silver to rent for a day, which was not at all compared to her spending more than forty taels. Difference.

    The only difference is that Lu Chengxiao's body is missing the jade pendant, but there is an established impression, so it doesn't matter whether he has the jade or not.

    It was still a gold coin: "Where is Miss Xiao?"

    It was Lu Chengxiao who asked.

    The jade is not jade, how can the red lady notice that her eyes are all on the ingot in Lu Chengxiao's hand, but no matter how greedy she is, she can't take it now: "I'll tell you two, it's not old age who doesn't give face, it's us Miss Yu has redeemed her body now, so she can't entertain the two of you."

    She looked at Liu Yu subconsciously as she spoke, and thought of what Xiao Yuniang said, this person was here to practice art in the house, so she couldn't help but look at Liu Yu more, and said Said: "This, my lord, besides Yu Niang, there are actually other girls in our building."

    She leaned close to Liu Yu, and whispered: "Yu is also very proficient in that one."

    Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, but Quickly realized, I don't know if the red lady figured it out by herself or Xiao Yuniang made it up for her, she frowned following these words: "I've only heard of Xiao Yuniang as an oiran, isn't she here now? The

    red lady looked at the identities of these two, and she wanted to keep customers, so she didn't say anything dead: "That's not true, the jade lady has been here with us for so many years, there are always some things to clean up, but she hasn't left yet. .”

    Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his chin: "Then just ask, can she see me?"

    Although he had never communicated with her before, there was a relationship between a master and a student, and he could guess how much Xiao Yuniang was thinking about her love for Hong Niangzi. He also knows a little bit about his character, and he has already guessed Xiao Yuniang's intentions in an instant, but inadvertently revealed a little bit of his arrogance.

    Seeing her like this, the red lady believed Xiao Yuniang's words even more, she couldn't afford to offend this little lady.

    Xiao Yuniang was no longer a member of Liuxian Pavilion, so she sent a maid to ask about the report.

    After a while, the servant girl trotted back, saying that Miss Xiao invited Liu Yu and Lu Chengxiao to enter the backyard of Liuxian Pavilion smoothly. This time, the ingot of gold was directly saved, and she rewarded the lady Hong with an ingot of ten taels of silver. Thank her for passing on.

    Although the red lady felt sorry for the gold, but she was no longer in the pavilion, and the ten taels of silver were picked up for nothing, so there was nothing she didn't want to do. Ordinary Xiao Yuniang's regular customers came to listen to her song and it was only ten taels of silver, and she was content! His face bloomed with a smile.

    Entering Xiao Yuniang's room for the second time, the decoration here is not much different from before, except that the maids and mothers-in-law have all been removed, and the maid who led them brought them here, and Xiao Yuniang rewarded them with a small piece of silver, and gave them graciously. After serving tea, Liu Yu and Lu Chengxiao also went back the same way.

    There were only Xiao Yuniang and Liu Yu in the room, Xiao Yuniang looked out vigilantly and saw that there was no one there, so she blessed Liu Yu and said, "Thank you Ma'am, I have redeemed my body two days ago. I went to the yamen to cancel my registration, and I will wait for my wife to come back in the next few days."

    Worried that Liu Yubie spent another ingot of gold, he said: "The red lady confiscated the money from my wife, right? I really want to send a letter to my wife. I don't know where Madam lives."

    Liu Yu was very uncomfortable at the Madam, but she also knew that this was not the place to talk, so she went straight to the point and asked Xiao Yuniang about her follow-up plans.

    Xiao Yuniang thought about the news that she had just received yesterday, that her father and a pair of younger siblings had passed away nine years ago, and that disaster had not escaped illness and poverty in the end. Xiao Yuniang's eyes were red, and she said: "I don't have a place to go, so I thought I could go to Yuanzhou with my wife."

    When she said this, she subconsciously glanced at Lu Chengxiao's expression, and said, "Don't worry, both of you, I know my background well, but feel at ease when I go with you all the way, I will never get my own cabin on the way, and when I arrive in Yuanzhou, I rent a house by myself, and I have planned to do business, and I will not communicate with you after that, and it will definitely not bring my wife's reputation."     Yangzhou Liuxian Pavilion, the pleasure-seekers may not be Yangzhou people, they will inevitably be bumped into by acquaintances one day, The old things were revealed, if he really wanted to keep in touch with Liu Yu, then Liu Yu's reputation would be damaged.     For Xiao Yuniang, Liu Yu and his wife are her real saviors.     She doesn't do things that hurt her benefactor, so the intersection is only in Yuanzhou, and after that, she will only be a stranger.     As soon as Xiao Yuniang said this, Lu Chengxiao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It's okay to bring a Xu'er back home. This Xiao Yuniang is indeed a bit inconvenient, but he always relies on Liu Yu for everything, although he doesn't understand why she is willing to do it for such a complete stranger. For someone who does this, but vaguely feels that Liu Yu is very concerned about this matter, and can't bear to refute her on this matter. Xiao Yuniang's own proposal is the best.     Whether it is Xiao Yuniang or Liu Yu, the world's prejudice against women in brothels is very clear.     Liu Yu felt sad, but she also knew that this was indeed the best way at the moment. As for the future, when she really arrived at the border of Yuanzhou, if she could know that Master was safe, that would be better than anything else.     Seeing the expressions of the husband and wife, Xiao Yuniang stopped talking and said to Liu Yu in a low voice, "This is not a place to talk, Madam, please tell me where to find you, I will leave here tomorrow, let's talk again."     Liu Yu was about to say the name of the inn, but Lu Chengxiao was one step ahead of her, and said, "Let's meet at the pier at noon tomorrow." It     can't be said that it was because of his wariness towards Xiao Yuniang, or the faint sense of crisis that Yangzhou City gave him, Lu Chengxiao always left 70% in everything he did. Be careful, you don't want to know where you are staying.     Liu Yu glanced at him, didn't say anything, smiled, and said to Xiao Yuniang: "It's just tomorrow at noon, will Miss Xiao be in time?"

    Xiao Yuniang had already tidied things up, she nodded naturally, "Then see you at noon tomorrow, and I'll send you two out."

    This Liuxian Pavilion is not a good place, and she doesn't want Liu Yu to stay here any longer.

    After seeing each other off all the way, after entering the front hall, I heard the voice of the red lady: "Master, you are joking, did you hear the name wrongly? We don't have any Wei Lianxing here, but there is a Mingyue girl who is good at piano music. She is quite popular in Yangzhou." Some reputation."

    A somewhat familiar male voice asked doubtfully, "Miss Mingyue?" The

    red lady giggled, "Yes, Xi Mingyue."

    Liu Yu's body froze, and at that moment he felt that all the blood in his body was tingling. It froze.

    The author has something to say:

    Thanks to the little angels who voted for me overlord votes or irrigation nutrient solution during 2022-07-24 18:03:38~2022-07-25 18:03:46~

Chapter 192

    Liu Yu just stopped in his tracks, because through the decorative flower screen, he could already see that the speaker was Liu Yanzheng and Xi Mingyue in the mouth of the red lady.

    The moment she heard Xi Mingyue's three words, Liu Yu almost thought that she had never escaped from this prison. Rebirth, finding her aunt, opening an embroidery shop, and marrying Lu Chengxiao were all her dreams.

    It's just that she woke up quickly, because Liu Yu realized that even she in her previous life had never been pushed to the front of the stage by Hong Niangzi at this moment.

    It's just that she didn't understand why Liu Yanzheng appeared in Yangzhou now, and who is Xi Mingyue? It was the latter question that held her back.

    As if there was a pushing hand in the dark, Liu Yu was thinking about who Xi Mingyue was, and the red lady had already turned her head to evoke Mingyue.

    Liu Yu's eyes turned around, and he saw clearly the person who smiled in response to the red lady and came slowly. There was a voice that took a step ahead of Liu Yu and spoke out her heart.

    "Isn't she Wei Lianxing?"

    Liu Yanzheng narrowed his eyes for a moment, and there was a bit of coldness in his voice that was not easy to detect.

    Wei Lianxing frowned. Seeing Liu Yanzheng's attire, he unfolded it immediately. He approached him leisurely and said with a smile, "My lord, you are joking. How can a star compete with the moon? We don't have any Wei Lianxing here. "

    Liu Yu: "..."

    She never expected that Wei Lianxing would become Xi Mingyue when she was reborn in this life.

    The doubts in her heart have been resolved, she has no nostalgia for Xi Mingyue's identity, whoever loves to do it, she finally recovered from the momentary gaffe, and asked Xiao Yuniang in a low voice: "Can you please lead us to leave through the side door? "

    She naturally knows the road, but she can't show it.

    Xiao Yuniang nodded, and led the two of them to turn around and leave here.

    And Liu Yanzheng, who was being accosted by Wei Lianxing in the previous life and "Xi Mingyue" in this life, raised his eyes in surprise when he heard Liu Yu's voice, and looked at the source of the voice, only to see a screen, separated by the screen Several figures are leaving.

    The voice was very low, but it was too much like the voice in the dream, the woman whose face he had never seen, he ran after her.

    Just waiting for him to go around the screen and turn a door, there is no one else in the huge garden.

    Liu Yanzheng did not give up and searched again, especially when he came to Yangzhou and found that there really was Liuxian Pavilion, and there really was Wei Lianxing, even though he didn't understand why the names didn't match, but all this was telling him , that weird dream may be true, and his cruel revenge in the dream may be true.

    If all of this is true, why exactly?

    For whom is he avenging?

    Liu Yanzheng stared blankly at the inner garden of Liuxian Pavilion, listening to the silk and bamboo orchestra, Yingge Yanyu, he didn't know where the truth was.

    Chen Fang chased Liu Yanzheng out, looked around, and wondered: "Yanzheng, what's wrong?"

    Liu Yanzheng also wanted to know what was wrong with him, and his eyes were subconsciously looking for something in the garden, but unfortunately, there was nothing .

    He shook his head and said nothing.

    Chen Fang laughed: "Leave if you have nothing to do, you really don't understand the style, what do you do with a girl alone, walk around, it's the first time you come out, let's listen to a tune." The

    voice gradually faded away.

    And in a room not far from where Liu Yanzheng was standing just now, Lu Chengxiao held Liu Yu's cold hand, and for the first time, his eyebrows were stained with worry.

    Xiao Yuniang looked at the expressions of the two, although the light in the room was quite dark, she could tell something was wrong.

    It turned out that both Xiao Yuniang and Lu Chengxiao felt that Liu Yu's expression was wrong just now, until Liu Yu proposed to go out through another door, and when she turned around the door leading to the back garden from the front hall, Xiao Yuniang found that the person Liu Yu had looked at just now was chasing after her. Instinctively, Liu Yu wanted to avoid this person, so without a word, he pushed open the door of a utility room next to him, dragged Liu Yu and slipped in.

    Lu Chengxiao naturally followed Liu Yu, and the three of them hid for a long time before they saw Liu Yanzheng chasing him outside by the window.

    Who is Xiao Yuniang, a veteran who has been through the wind and moon, this time avoiding and chasing, and looking at the man's look of loss, no matter what, it will make people associate it.

    She glanced at Liu Yu worriedly, confirmed that the man had left, and then said: "You two, come with me."

    All the way to the side door of Liuxian Pavilion, Liu Yu and Lu Chengxiao didn't speak anymore, and went straight to the side door , before saying goodbye to Xiao Yuniang.

    On the way back to the inn, Lu Chengxiao glanced at Liu Yu several times, her hands trembling slightly.

    Couldn't tell if it was distressing or what, Lu Chengxiao grabbed Liu Yu, pulled her hands together, squeezed them in his palms.

    Everyone sensed something was wrong, Lu Chengxiao knew it, and Liu Yu knew it too.

    If Xu'er and Xiao Yuniang were the people Liu Yu wanted to save in her dream, what about the man just now? Xu'er and Xiao Yuniang obviously didn't recognize Liu Yu, but why did the man chase him out? Why is Liu Yu afraid?

    Liu Yu's complexion was a little pale. At the beginning, he stopped because he suddenly heard Liu Yanzheng's voice, and more importantly, when he heard his own name, it was a subconscious reaction to stop and pay attention at that moment.

    Later, avoiding Liu Yanzheng was also a subconscious reaction. She had too much involvement in her previous life, and she didn't want to run into him again.

    Liu Yu just didn't expect Liu Yanzheng to chase him out.

    She was already flustered in the utility room of Liuxian Pavilion, and she was even more flustered when Lu Chengxiao led her all the way out. Liu Yu didn't know how she should explain it to Lu Chengxiao.

    Lu Chengxiao looked down at her, unaware that when it was dark, Liu Yu's complexion was extraordinarily pale when he came out, illuminated by the lights of the nearby shop.

    Lu Chengxiao was silent for a moment, then asked her softly: "Have you seen it in your dream?"

    Liu Yu raised her eyes, she realized for the second time that the past would be so difficult to talk about, even if she was with Liu Yanzheng in her previous life, she just played the piano, sang songs, talked and played chess, but Liu Yu knew that it was different... this is It was even harder to tell Lu Chengxiao about Chen Mengli himself being sold into Liuxian Pavilion.

    Liu Yanzheng, in a sense, is her guest, even, the only guest since they met.

    In her previous life, the red lady treasured her, and she was raised as the next signboard of the Liuxian Pavilion. Before leaving the pavilion, she was rarely shown in front of people. Every time she is covered with a veil, according to the meaning of the red lady, the more mysterious she is, the more expensive she will be, and the higher her worth will be in the future.

    In the first two months when Liu Yu started to perform, she only sang a tune every three or five days.

    The change started with Liu Yanzheng. He was invited by Yangzhou wealthy businessman Meng Ye. When he saw Liu Yu for the first time, he accidentally caught his eye and spent two thousand taels a month. As a guest, only he can listen to the singing.

    This kind of treatment, not to mention the girls who never left the cabinet, even the red-card oiran Xiao Yuniang at that time did not have it. It was envied by the girls in the building for a long time. Liuxian Pavilion, she received the guests early, but Liu Yu was raised to over sixteen and a half years old, singing a song is expensive, but it is playing the piano and singing, and someone bought it for two thousand taels of silver for a month, and she didn't want her to give it to others Sing.     And such a rich master, even she is not willing to sing a song for others, and he knows that he will not be touched by others when he leaves the court. As long as Liu Yu can hold him, it is not difficult at all to redeem him.     After entering the fire pit, I can still come out clean.     However, this wealthy lord was invited by Wei Lianxing's benefactor, Mr. Meng.     Can Wei Lianxing not be red-eyed?     All the past, flashed in the memory only for a moment.     Liu Yu wanted to answer Lu Chengxiao's words, but couldn't open his mouth for a long time.     She was extremely confused, she didn't know what went wrong, why Liu Yanzheng chased him out, Liu Yu really didn't understand.

    The safe shell that I had built for her in Resurrected Life seemed to be completely shattered in an instant. She nodded in embarrassment and difficulty, thinking about how to speak, Lu Chengxiao had already hugged her, "Don't be afraid, that's just Dream."

    He patted Liu Yu's back, and said softly, "You don't need to tell me, just forget about it."

    Liu Yu buried herself on Lu Chengxiao's shoulder, and her eyelashes were instantly stained with moisture.

    Lu Chengxiao... In fact, he was also afraid to hear it.

    Liu Yu knew it well, so she didn't dare to say it.

    She hugged Lu Chengxiao back, thinking, let her be so cowardly.

    The two men hugged each other in the street, which was naturally eye-catching. Liu Yu wiped away the wetness from his eyelashes on Lu Chengxiao's shoulders, then took a step back, smiled at Lu Chengxiao, and said, "Let's go back to the inn."

    Lu Chengxiao also laughed. As for this dream, both of them have a tacit understanding, let it be just the most common dream, and forget it when you turn around, or it will become blurred after a few days, and you can't remember it clearly. Leave no trace.

    Another tacit understanding: Neither Liu Yu nor Lu Chengxiao wanted to stay longer in Yangzhou.

    Lu Chengxiao went to the pawn shop early the next morning, changed the clothes that were pressed there, went to the pier alone, hired a boat and bought food along the way, then went to the car dealer to hire a carriage, picked up Liu Yu and Xu'er went to the pier.

    This time Liu Yu changed back into women's clothes, but only wore a veiled hat to cover her face tightly. She got on the boat and waited for half an hour. Before noon, a blue cloth mule cart stopped by the pier.     Xiao Yuniang was dressed simply, with no makeup on her face, and no maid beside her. She got off the mule cart with two big burdens, and was looking around. It was hard for anyone to distinguish her from Yangzhou's famous prostitute, Yu Niangzi. connect together.     Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yu have been paying attention to the movements on the pier. When they saw Xiao Yuniang, the husband and wife walked out of the cabin and waved to Xiao Yuniang.     Xiao Yuniang recognized Lu Chengxiao, and saw a woman wearing a veiled hat next to her, she knew it was Liu Yu, she was overjoyed, and quickly walked towards the two people's boat.

    The boat stopped by the pier, Liu Yu took a few steps, stood beside the boat, and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yuniang. Since last night, he had been worrying, and now he showed a sincere and bright smile.

    It was a joy from the heart.

    The wind blew up the tulle of the veiled hat. Seeing this scene, Lu Chengxiao finally let go of the worries in his heart, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.

    The boatman unmoored and lifted the anchor, and the light boat left the shore and sailed along the water.

    The famous prostitute who has been famous in Yangzhou for several years left Yangzhou quietly and went to another life.

    The author has something to say:

    Don't worry, if you don't abuse your daughter, there will be some strange overlaps between the follow-up of the previous life and the present life, and it will come out slowly.

Chapter 193

    Everything seemed to be calm, but only Liu Yu knew that when she left Yangzhou this time, she fled in despair.

    There is something wrong with Liu Yanzheng, he may remember her, and he also knows Wei Lianxing, these are people and things that have never happened in this life, when he realizes that there may be another person who may know what happened in his previous life, there will be no moment in Liu Yu's heart After living in peace, for several days, Liu Yu was in a state of anxiety, but this anxiety was firmly suppressed by her.

    Liu Yanzheng didn't know much about her in his previous life, Liu Yu thought, as long as he leaves Yangzhou.

    In Yangzhou City, after listening to "Xi Mingyue" twice, Liu Yanzheng couldn't think of anything more, and gradually lost interest in this place, leaving Chen Fang to inquire about a rich businessman named Meng for him. As a benefactor of "Xi Mingyue", he no longer set foot in Liuxian Pavilion.

    In the huge city of Yangzhou, there are countless wealthy businessmen going to Liuxian Pavilion. It is not difficult to find someone surnamed Meng, but the difficulty is that there are quite a few people surnamed Meng.

    But the range Liu Yanzheng gave was the benefactor of "Xi Mingyue", which is relatively simple. Chen Fang stared at it for six or seven days, found two, and even compared the rules of these two coming to Liuxian Pavilion. After finding out, Liu Yan was invited over.

    Different from the big money in Liuxian Pavilion in the previous life, Liu Yanzheng in this life is very low-key, so low-key that he came to recognize people and just sat in the lobby, and on the face, he had a kind of aura of not being close to strangers, and even moved closer to him. Chen Fang waved away all the prostitutes.

    The rich businessman surnamed Meng who squatted on the first day was not the face he had seen in his dream. He went back two days later and saw another one, and this time he matched his face.

    Liu Yanzheng took a second look at Mr. Meng, Chen Fang knew it, and said in a low voice: "This is a big silk merchant in Yangzhou, do you know him?"

    After thinking about it, he found it impossible, so Liu Yanzheng went to sea. Many, but it is really rare to go ashore, and it is the first time to leave Quanzhou. If Liu Yanzheng recognizes it, there is only one possibility. This is also a sea merchant, but Chen Fang has found out the other party's details, so it is really not.

    Liu Yanzheng's expression was cold: "I know."

    This moment surprised Chen Fang: "Where did you recognize it?"

    Where did you recognize it? Liu Yanzheng was even more curious than Chen Fang, what kind of enmity did he have for him to punish people so that they could not survive or die?

    He came to find an answer, but found that he still had no clue about the two faces he had seen in his dream.

    About a piece of Yangzhou's past, there is a wave of calm.

    On the other side of Liangzhe, Wuxing Wharf.

    Liu Yan'an and his party had just boarded the boat, and the boat was full of raw silk. Besides that, apart from the bodyguards guarding the boat, there were also a group of people, men, women, old and young, by the pier, and Liu Yanping was by his side.

    If Lu Chengxiao was here, he would definitely be able to recognize several familiar faces among them. They were the people from Chengjia Village who they met when they went to Wuxing to collect silk last June.

    Among them, Cheng Wenyuan's family, who Liu Yanping and others were staying with when they came last time, were all at the pier at this time.

    Cheng's mother held her daughter's hand very worried, and kept wiping away tears: "Where is a girl who goes out to earn money, parents are useless, and the family asks you to carry it."

    The girl's name is Cheng Wenyin, no one else. She is an expert at weaving raw silk in Chengjia Village, and Cheng Wenyuan's own sister.

    When Liu Yanping and Liu Yan'an came out this time, apart from collecting raw silk, they also had another important task, which was to invite a few master silk weavers from Zhejiang and Zhejiang to go back.

    I'm not familiar with the place, so where can I find a silk weaver, Wu Xingsi is good, Liu Yanping and his party made a few trips on the road and then went straight to Wu Xing, collecting silk and inquiring all the way.

    The silk was harvested smoothly, but the master who taught silk weaving was not so easy to find.

    Let's not talk about whether the craftsmanship is good or not. It's not so easy to judge. It's just that most of the silk weavers are women. Their weaving workshop is in Yuanzhou. How many women dare to leave their homes and go with these strange businessmen?

    After going back and forth, Liu Yanping thought of Chengjia Village, where he settled down to collect silk last year.

    To say that there are really a few good silk weavers in Chengjia Village, and the cooperation last year was quite pleasant, and it can be regarded as having acquainted with each other once, so Liu Yanping had no choice but to lead a few people to Chengjia Village to try their luck.

    It was his luck.

    When they arrived, there was a happy event in Chengjia Village. Cheng Wenyuan, who received them last year, passed the county examination in February this year and the government examination in April this year. He is now a scholar.

    When encountering such a big happy event, it is necessary to have a congratulatory ceremony.

    Liu Yanping and the others were left at Cheng's house for dinner. During the dinner, Liu Yanping told about the fact that he and Lu Chengxiao jointly opened a weaving and dyeing workshop in Anyi County, Yuanzhou.

    The Cheng family is a local, Liu Yanping thought about asking Cheng's family to help him find one or two, to see if there is a good one who can go to Yuanzhou with him to be a weaving master.

    Who is the best silk weaver in Chengjia Village? Cheng Wenyuan's biological sister.

    Speaking of it, Liu Yanping really asked Cheng Wenyuan for help, but he really didn't have the idea of ​​Cheng Wenyuan's girl. A girl in her 28th year, her elder brother has gained fame again, so when she was talking about her, how could she run outside? Therefore, Liu Yanping never thought about it.

    Unexpectedly, the conversation between him and Cheng Wenyuan was overheard by the girl of the Cheng family. The girl just thought about it, so she came to inquire about the wages, heard about the craftsmanship, and was willing to teach the weavers in the weaving and dyeing workshop to ensure a certain number of weavers. After leaving the teacher, the weaving workshop can give a salary of thirty-five taels a year, and the employment period is one year.

    To put it bluntly, what is valuable is the skills they are willing to teach.

    When the girl from the Cheng family heard that she was hired at thirty-five taels of silver a year, her eyes lit up immediately: "Apart from silk, do you also invite masters who are good at weaving brocade and weaving?"

    "Of course! Miss Cheng knows such a master?"

    Both Cheng brothers and sisters laughed, and Cheng Wenyuan laughed and said, "Naturally, sister She's silk weaving skills were taught by our aunt when she was young. My sister is good at weaving silk, and my aunt is good at weaving brocade and silk."

    Liu Yanping was overjoyed . , hurriedly asked the brothers and sisters of the Cheng family to help introduce them.

    The distance between the two villages is not too far, so Cheng Wenyuan simply led Liu Yanping and his party there, so that many things can be seen in person.

    Liu Yanping was naturally happy, and the group took a trip, and after seeing the craftsmanship of Cheng Cheng's aunt, the master of the weaving workshop was considered to be in possession.

    This was a good thing, but when they returned to Chengjia Village, Cheng Wenyin came and asked, "Do you want to recruit more silk weaving masters in your weaving workshop?"

    Liu Yanping nodded naturally. family, plus their own cloth business, Zhuangzi is big enough, and the scale will naturally be raised later. Of course, it is not enough to hire only one master for silk and satin, so he asked: "Miss, do you have any recommendations?"

    After nodding, Cheng Wenyin laughed, pointed at herself, and said, "Do you think I can do it?"

    It turned out that she wanted to do this job on her own.

    This moment stopped Liu Yanping from asking, but Cheng Wenyuan's face changed slightly.

    Afterwards, the Cheng family discussed among themselves. The house in the country is not spacious. Even if the Cheng family talked inside the house, Liu Yanping and the others could still hear a little outside.

    It turned out that Cheng Wenyuan was admitted as a scholar, and later when he went to school to catch up with the exam, there was money everywhere. Cheng Wenyin came to take care of the family affairs and worried about her elder brother. Hearing that teaching people to weave silk can earn thirty-five taels a year At that time, Cheng Wenyin was moved, her eldest brother was selected as a scholar, and on the day the floating banquet was held at home, she heard from her elder brother's classmates that she wanted to go to Beijing to catch the exam, let alone prepare a hundred taels of money.

    Cheng Wenyin thought about saving as much as possible for her elder brother before she got married.

    She also knows that the weaving workshop will not hire a teacher at a high price all the year round. He may earn a year's money, but there are thirty-five taels a year. If the family saves a little more, it will not be enough after three years. It will be too bad.

    The two brothers and sisters argued a few words inside, vaguely that Cheng Wenyuan said that he would earn the expenses of rushing for the exam and entering school by himself, and it was really inappropriate for the girl to go so far away.

    Cheng Wenyin asked him directly how he planned to make money.

    Cheng Wenyuan replied: "Copying books and writing letters on behalf of others can earn money."

    Liu Yanping could clearly listen to Cheng Wenyin calculate the accounts for her brother outside, how much money to copy a book, how many copies can be copied in a month without delaying homework, what year the township exam was, what year would the exam be, how much it cost, calculate it The result is that Cheng Wenyuan's head cantilevered, and it is impossible to make up the cost of entering school and rushing for the exam.

    The Cheng family was finally persuaded, because the Cheng family's aunt was with them, and they discussed with Liu Yanping to let the second son of the family send their daughter there by boat, and it was only today that there was a scene of seeing off at the pier.

    Although Cheng's mother agreed, she still wiped her tears when she arrived at the pier.

    Cheng Wenyin hurriedly pulled her mother to comfort her, and said: "Auntie is going too, Mr. Liu and Mr. Lu are two good-natured masters, and there is also the second elder brother, so what should you worry about?"

    Mother Cheng doesn't care about her age Putting it here, in fact, I have listened to the eldest son and this daughter for so many things over the years. I am not very independent, but no matter how independent I am on weekdays, I am thinking much more than usual at this time, holding Cheng Wenyin's hand red Eye circles said: "That's the case, but you are sixteen this year, and there are children as old as you in the village, even those who married late, now they have marriages, so why don't you delay the marriage by going out?" ?"     Cheng Wenyin laughed, and leaned close to Cheng's mother and said in a low voice, "Sixteen years old is so late, mother, don't worry, they open weaving workshops, and there are few people who can weave silk in Yuanzhou. Let’s ask someone to teach it here. You think this is a job that can be done for a long time. It’s a year at most. I just came back, I can’t delay the marriage, and do you think I’m hard to get married? I’m beautiful and capable, and I have a talented elder brother.”     This low voice really can’t be called a low voice, at least Cheng Wenyuan who is not far away can vaguely degree of hearing.     Cheng Wenyuan was fine when he heard the first few sentences, but he felt embarrassed when he heard the last few sentences, so he couldn't help but glance at Liu Yanping, seeing that the other party was just smiling, and there was nothing to see on his face, so he felt relieved, and with Liu Yan Ping Yi cupped his hands and said: "Sister She and Auntie are going to Yuanzhou, I hope Brother Liu can take care of them a little bit more."

    Liu Yanping saw that Cheng Wenyin dispelled Cheng's mother's worries with a few words, and it was interesting to hear it, but he didn't show it on the surface. Hearing Cheng Wenyuan's entrustment, he smiled and replied: "It should be, we invited the master, brother Cheng, don't worry. , we often go here to do business, and my sister and aunt go with our boat when we go, and we can also follow our boat when we return. During this period, if Brother Cheng has any letters, you can go to the post house. If it is not an urgent letter, It is also acceptable to send it to President Liu of Jiangyou Guild Hall in Zhejiang City to hand it over on your behalf."

    After a few words of politeness, the two ministers finally boarded the ship, a big ship full of raw silk and the two future backbones of the weaving and dyeing workshop. Wu Xing set sail.

    Liu Yanping would not have thought at this time that this girl who acted neatly and spoke frankly, had been away for not a year, and when he came back with someone two years later, she would no longer be a boss. Of course, all of this Something else.

    The author has something to say:

Chapter 194

    Lu Chengxiao, Liu Yu and his party returned to Yuanzhou at the end of April. Xiao Yuniang, who is now Gu Yuzhen, did not settle down in Yuanzhou City, but chose the relatively less prosperous Anyi County. Yixian rented a house and settled down first.

    This was a decision made after discussing privately with Liu Yu on the return boat. With such an identity, he was afraid of meeting some familiar faces in Yuanzhou, and it would be difficult to have a peaceful life in the future. On the contrary, it is a small place, relatively It is much safer.

    Gu Yuzhen avoided suspicion, separated from Liu Yu and the others in Yuanzhou, hired two boats to go to Anyi County, and did not ask Liu Yu and Lu Chengxiao for help when looking for a house, and went directly to the middleman.

    And Xu'er followed Liu Yu back home, and became Liu Yu's little follower completely. He made arrangements for himself at home and in the embroidery shop, so he never had time to relax.

    What Liu Yu said to her family is a simplified version of what Liu Yu told Xu Er, saying that when she met Xu Er in Yangzhou, she would be sold by her parents. .

    When Mrs. Chen heard that her youngest son and daughter-in-law had returned, she came here specially from Xifeng Town. When she met Xu'er, she heard Liu Yu talk about how she bought her. The degree of acceptance was good, and he said: "It just so happens that I'm afraid I'll have to help your second elder brother and second sister-in-law for a couple of years. It's good to have a maid, and at least I can have a sip of hot water when I get home." The

    young couple are so busy, Chen looks at it It's really distressing, but the second daughter-in-law is pregnant now, and the clothing store she owns is also busy, so Chen can only help there first. Now that she has a maid, she feels more at ease.

    It's just one thing, that girl named Xu'er is about 14 or 15 years old, so Mrs. Chen is more careful.

    She has lived to this age and has seen many things. The relationship between her youngest son and daughter-in-law is good, and it's not that Mrs. Chen doesn't believe in her son, but if there is an extra restlessness between any couple, it will not be a good thing. It's annoying.

    Mrs. Chen didn't say anything, but just ran to the county for a few days, and even stayed at Liu Yu's house for two days, just watching carefully, seeing that the girl named Xu'er was really well-behaved, she looked like a girl. Those who are honest and honest rarely approach Lu Chengxiao, and they know how to measure, so they really feel at ease and go back to Xifeng Town in a down-to-earth manner.     Lu Chengxiao didn't notice the twists and turns in his mother's heart, and Xu'er, who had been observed for a few days, didn't know that she had been interrogated once, but Liu Yu found out a little on the third day, and didn't tell Lu Chengxiao in detail. Thinking of this, he threw himself into Lu Chengxiao's arms and laughed.     When Liu Yanping and his party came back in early May, the weaving and dyeing workshop became busy, recruiting workers and buying more looms.     Different from the previous batch of weavers recruited, this batch came here to learn crafts. These days, crafts are valuable, and weavers who cannot be recruited will leave as soon as they have trained good people. The cost is too high.     Lu Chengxiao and the three brothers from the Liu family sat down to discuss it, and carefully settled on a contract. The weavers who graduated from the weaving workshop must work in the weaving workshop for at least two years. After two years, they can go and stay freely .     Liu Yanqing had already resigned from his post as a police officer in the yamen at this time, and he was in charge of all the affairs in the weaving workshop.     In May, it's time for the hemp to mature, Lu Chengxiao went to the two shops, followed by Liu Yanping and Liu Yan'an and got busy with the hemp.     Yes, this recycling is not linen, but ramie.     It's only been a while since the ramie has matured, and the three of them alone are naturally not enough. Lu Chengxiao went to Chenjia Village and invited his uncle's cousins ​​to help collect ramie in various villages and towns. Naturally, the weaving workshop will measure pay wages.     Liu Zhang, who just came back from Liangzhe, also joined in, but Lin Huaigeng didn't have time to come to help this time, because Mrs. Zhou finally let go because of her marriage with her cousin Zhou Ruyi.     Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Huai Geng got engaged after the Dragon Boat Festival, and the wedding date should be set before the year. He asked me to bring a message and come back to the county after I'm done with this."     Lu Chengxiao laughed after hearing this: "It can be regarded as Let him have his wish."

    Both Liu Yanping and Liu Yan'an knew that Lin Huaigeng had a sweetheart who was his cousin, and they both laughed when they heard it: "This is a big happy event, and we will send the invitations to you at that time, and we will also bring you a generous gift."

    Talking about it with Liu Yu in the night Liu Yu was also happy about Lin Huaigeng and Zhou Ruyi's affairs.

    From here, happy events came one after another. First, the sister-in-law Qin found the shop where she was going to open a ready-made clothing store. Then, Master He asked his son to inform that the first batch of goods from the weaving and dyeing workshop could be put on the market.

    This batch of goods is the fine cotton cloth woven by the weaving workshop in March. Master He dyed the cloth meticulously. He made plans according to the dyeing period on his side, which took the longest time. The blue cloth is arranged in February, and the fine cotton cloth that is relatively less time-consuming to weave in March and April. Lightweight and breathable materials, including Liu Yu's unique design and color, are just catching up with the summer styles of the cloth and embroidery shops.

    The five cloth shops and cloth shops of the Lu family, and the two embroidery shops of the Liu family all used the fabrics from their own weaving and dyeing workshops in May of this year.

    And the weaving workshop is not idle either, Cheng Wenyin and her aunt each take charge of a group, teaching dozens of weavers, Lu Chengxiao and the others are already good at weaving, and now they are learning to weave silk and satin, and they are quick to learn , as soon as the female workers were in place, the cotton cloth was suspended, and the linen and various silk products began to be arranged.

    Because the color of the fabric is often checked by Liu Yu, during the whole May, apart from being in the embroidery village, Liu Yu often needs to go to the weaving and dyeing workshop with Lu Chengxiao or his three older brothers. After a trip, naturally, I settled down in Yuanzhou City and picked up Lu Xun and Lu Shuang.

    This trip to Hongdu Prefecture not only needs to purchase silk fabrics in the cloth and embroidery villages in summer, but also prepares for the establishment of a sample library for the weaving and dyeing workshop.

    This is Liu Yu's proposal, to set aside a room for a fabric sample room, and for any good-looking material, a small sample will be cut out, and the embroidery workers will make a cloth album to collect and display, for reference by the weaving and dyeing workshop.

    When the couple finally rested, it was already June.

    Xu'er went out for a trip that day, and brought something to Liu Yu when she came back.

    Gu Yuzhen asked her to hand over the things.

    Gu Yuzhen wants to avoid suspicion, but Liu Yu never intends to stop interacting with his master, and has always let Xu'er pay attention to Gu Yuzhen's situation.

    Whether the house is rented or not, no matter where you move, you can live comfortably. Every ten days, Xu'er will quietly go to Gu Yuzhen's side. Naturally, she will also bring food and food that Liu Yu asked her to bring over. .

    Xu'er didn't know who Gu Yuzhen was, she only knew that he was someone Liu Yu cared about very much, so even if Liu Yu went to Hongdu Mansion, she didn't pay attention to Gu Yuzhen's situation.

    Gu Yuzhen asked Xu'er to bring a big wooden box today.

    Xu'er put the box on the table and put it down, and said with a smile: "Ms. Gu asked me to bring it back to my wife. She said that there is no other craftsmanship, just a little makeup and powder. It is better than the ones sold in the market. Let the wife choose what she likes and use it, and then I want to ask, if this thing is sold outside, will it be good?"

    Liu Yu opened the box, and saw that there were neatly stacked bottles and jars inside, all of which were white porcelain. It was made, opened one of the boxes and looked at it, it looked like facial fat, and the texture was very good, if Xuer didn't say this, she really didn't realize that it was made by Gu Yuzhen himself.

    He put it under his nose and sniffed it, the fragrance...

    Liu Yu's eyes moved.

    There was a time in her previous life that the face cream her master used often had this smell. Liu Yu also got a few boxes, but she didn't expect that she made it herself. She took a little and spread it on the back of her hand and wiped it gently.

    If this is the case, Liu Yu knows it without trying, it is indeed excellent.

    The corners of her lips curled up, little by little, and smiles appeared in her eyes. She opened all the bottles and jars in the box, and regardless of the fact that she had already bathed, she dressed herself. Put on makeup.

    When Lu Chengxiao came out of the shower, he saw Liu Yu dressing up in the mirror, and he was stunned: "What day is it today?" I

    don't blame him, Liu Yu rarely has makeup on his face except for basic maintenance, and Lu Chengxiao only saw it a few times. The two times when the wedding and the embroidery shop opened.

    Xu'er didn't know that Lu Chengxiao was there, but now seeing him coming out of the ear room, without waiting for Liu Yu's reply, she hurriedly saluted, bowed her head and backed out, even helped to close the door, and went back directly out of the courtyard.

    Lu Chengxiao always paid more attention to the fact that there was an extra person in the family. After taking a bath, he heard noises from outside and was dressed neatly, so there was nothing embarrassing about it.

    Liu Yu was in good spirits, after putting on the last makeup, she turned around and said with a smile: "It's not a big day, but these things are sent by Mrs. Gu."

    Pointing to the box of bottles and cans, she said with a smile: "She made it herself. Yes, ask me if it’s possible to sell this thing in a shop.”

    Lu Chengxiao always knew that Liu Yu paid attention to Gu Yuzhen’s situation, so it was not surprising, he looked at the things in the box, and looked at Liu Yu’s face from side to side with a serious face for a while, It was not enough just to look at it, he lifted Liu Yu's chin, and even tried the touch on Liu Yu's cheek with his fingertips. With that serious look, Liu Yu really thought he could give a review, but the review didn't come, and he waited for two pieces Warm lips.

    The lip balm that had just been applied was turned into residual makeup by Lu Chengxiao. Before he could say anything, Lu Chengxiao picked her up by the waist and put her on the bed.

    Liu Yu was so annoyed that he thumped Lu Chengxiao. Seeing that his lips were also dyed brightly, he felt amused: "Is the rouge delicious?"

    Lu Chengxiao's voice was a little hoarse: "I don't know if the rouge is good. You look so beautiful with makeup on. Put on makeup and show me."

    "Are you sure you want to see?" Liu Yu looked at the bright color on Lu Chengxiao's lips, rubbed it with his fingertips, and wiped away the residual red on his lips.

    Lu Chengxiao's throat rolled, and his eyes deepened: "It's okay to taste." The

    bed curtain fell, and the conversation stopped. Not long after, Liu Yu's voice gradually changed into another depressing tune, sometimes rushing, sometimes slow, sometimes deep. Shallow, so sweet that it makes people feel numb in their bones.

    The author has something to say:

    Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution during 2022-07-27 21:23:04~2022-07-28 18:34:40~

Chapter 195

    In June, there was an extremely inconspicuous small rouge shop in Anyi County.

    As for the business of the Embroidery Village and the Weaving and Dyeing Workshop, with Liu Yanqing's joining, Liu Yu was much more relaxed. Except for things related to fabrics and garments, Liu Yu basically didn't need to worry about other matters.

    Since opening the embroidery village, Liu Yu has been at leisure for the first time.

    Liu Yu was able to relax, but Lu Chengxiao was as busy as ever, even busier than before.

    About Yangzhou, about that dream, seemed to gradually fade in Liu Yu's memory as Lu Chengxiao expected, and withdrew from their world. However, the sense of crisis that could not protect his wife during the trip to Yangzhou never left Lu Chengxiao's heart. Withdrew, he was more eager to become stronger.

    One Lu Chengxiao, one Liu Yanping, two careerists gathered in one place, An Sheng will definitely not be able to live in peace. Before that, the net of looking for shops that was spread in various counties, occasionally news came, Liu Yanqing went to see, not every one of them was good. It is suitable, but sooner or later, suitable ones will be found one after another, and a semicolon is required. Whether it is a store, supply of goods or manpower, it will cost money.

    The Zhuangzi I bought is big enough, but the scale of the weaving and dyeing workshop is far from enough. If I want to increase the output of cloth and the scale of the weaving and dyeing workshop, I need looms, manpower, raw silk, lint, ramie and other raw materials. money.     Besides, everyone in the area of ​​Yuanzhou knows that grass cloth is abundant, and ramie is also something that various weaving and dyeing workshops are scrambling to buy. How to raise their own competitiveness has to be considered.     The three brothers of the Liu family, plus one Lu Chengxiao, gathered together to talk about this matter in their free time, and finally came up with an idea to open warehouses in various towns. Second, if there are warehouses in each town, it will be very convenient to collect ramie and lint from the hands of the people.     The blueprint is big enough, but the money is not enough to support them to put these ideas into operation. If they want to develop their business faster, it is obviously not enough to just sell cloth in Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Liu Yanping and Lu Chengxiao both thought of the way of Quanzhou maritime merchants mentioned by Ge An.

    The risk can be avoided if you don't directly sell the products to the sea, but just as a supplier. The difficulty lies in how to become a supplier.

    Both Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping were moved.

    Both of them are courageous. They will go to Liangzhe at the end of June. Before that, they simply went to Fuliang, which is rich in porcelain. They stayed there for seven or eight days and made more than three hundred taels of porcelain. Ships and maritime merchants can't get through, so they just look for opportunities in the local area and get out.

    Yangshan Village and Chenjia Village's Xia Bu Liu Yanqing and Liu Yan'an still accept this year, of course, on credit. The two families' stalls are too big, and they have never had much money in hand.

    Dyeing cloth did not go to Yuanzhou again. Master He was stubborn, but he came up with a compromise idea. Since ramie went on the market in May, cloth was collected from nearby villages one after another. When the cloth arrived, their masters and apprentices began to dye it. .     The old man is a bit conceited, his mouth hurts, but he has a good heart. After working for more than half a year, he saw that several young bosses really listened to his arrangements in the matter of dyeing cloth. Yes, instead of asking them to dye the collected cloth outside, it is better for him to help himself. Among other things, the color and color fastness are definitely more than 30% stronger than those dyed outside.     In Master He's words: "For more than a month, it's not better than going to a dyeing workshop outside to quickly dye cloth and waste things?"     Therefore, the news that the villages that gave cloth to Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping last year, from May this year, is If there is any cloth, just send it directly to the dyeing workshop.     Both Lu and Liu have opened weaving workshops, and they still accept their cloth at the original price of cloth on credit. The folks in several villages only think that they are making money, and they cooperate very much. After weaving, they let the idle labor of the family go here Sending off, Liu Yan'an sat in the Zhuangzi every day to inspect and collect the cloth, and sent it directly for dyeing when it arrived.     At the end of June, Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping, still an old team, set off for Liangzhe.     The trade routes between Zhejiang and Zhejiang were very familiar, and the cloth in their hands was taken off. After a while, the money they earned was exchanged for fine silk in the local area. The original team went to Quanzhou at the end of July. .     The small town is very remote.

    If Ge An had not clearly reported which county, which town, which village, and only looked at the situation in the town, Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping would never have been able to associate such a small town with maritime business activities. .

    The cargo was still on the ship, Liu Yan'an, Lin Huaigeng and a group of brothers from the bodyguard bureau were guarding the ship, while Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping got off the ship first to make their way.

    It's a small town, but there are three inns. It was already evening when Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping arrived. Naturally, they first searched for an inn, and then tried to find out if they could find news from the local population.

    The first person to be asked was naturally the inn clerk, two taels of silver, the clerk weighed it from the fact that I couldn't understand what you said, the waiter, to the fact that his eyes were rolling around.

    The money on the table was increased to five taels by Liu Yanping, and all the trade-offs were left behind, but the boy still didn't dare to reach out, looked around, and said in a low voice: "It's not a small one, don't tell me, it's you who want to inquire Small people can't help you directly, we can't get in touch with small people like us."

    Liu Yanping heard the strings, pushed the five taels of silver to the little guy, and said: "Just tell me what you know, as long as the news It's useful, this is yours."

    A smile suddenly appeared on the boy's face: "Okay! If it's just this, the two waiters have found the right person. Our town is not big, but we can't stand them. There are so many winding flower heads, if you two just bump your heads together, you don’t know when you’ll be able to find them.”

    Liu Yanping and Lu Chengxiao raised their eyebrows, the guy bent slightly, and said in a low voice: “You two guests have something to look for. I don’t know, there is such a thing in our town, but they are strict in their work, and the location of the joint is changed every once in a while, that is, in our business, we often encounter businessmen from other places who come to know something, and the people in this town may not I know."

    Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping looked at each other, and Lu Chengxiao said, "Where is the nearest connector, do you know?" The

    little guy's eyes fell on the five taels of silver.

    Lu Chengxiao smiled and handed over the money.

    The little guy took the money and subconsciously gave it to his mouth, biting it, his face was full of smiles, he stuffed the money into his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "I just changed the order a few days ago, Zhenbei Sun Erniang Restaurant, both of you Customers want to meet people, so go over."

    As for how to find the recipient after passing, that's beyond the boy's ability to know.

    At the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping arrived at the Sun Erniang Restaurant in the north of Zhenbei on time.

    The restaurant is not big, and there are only three tables of drinkers at this point.

    For the three tables of drinkers, Lu Chengxiao heard that they were talking in local dialect, so he didn't quite understand them, but he could guess three points by combining their facial expressions, and it didn't look like they were here for any business.

    When it was time to order, I tried to test the shopkeeper's lady again, but the shopkeeper's lady also looked confused, as if she couldn't understand what Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping were saying at all.

    At that moment, Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping even thought about whether the inn clerk gave a fake news at all.

    But the two were not in a hurry, Haishang could find out so easily, and it was not up to them, at least the news Ge An gave should be true, calm down and wait until the restaurant closed before leaving.

    It's at Sun Erniang's restaurant, go in on time every day, and return to the inn after closing time. This wait is two days.

    Some things really happened by chance. On the night of the third day, the business of the restaurant was obviously better than the previous two days. But this time, Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping heard two foreign accents. They looked at each other and looked at the speaker. The style looks low-key, but the material is good and the workmanship is exquisite.

    merchant!

    Both of them were a little excited. It was such a coincidence that foreign businessmen appeared in this restaurant. The news given by the inn clerk was probably true.

    Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping suppressed their temper and paid attention to the movements and conversations of the people at the two tables. Before they could hear anything useful, another person came from the wine shop. The two followed the prestige, and they were stunned.

    It was a middle-aged man and a young man who came. The young man followed the middle-aged man, as if it was the first time he came here. He looked around at the people in the restaurant, and happened to meet Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping looked at the two of them.     The young man was startled, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, and then he was overjoyed. He quickly walked a few steps towards Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yan. Already ."     Bow down and worship!     Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping hurriedly got up, Lu Chengxiao got closer, and took a step forward to help him up: "Brother Cao, you can't help it."     Who are you talking about?     Last year, when Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping and his party first went to the Liangzhe for business, they returned from Wuxing and rescued the Jinan businessman, Cao Jinnian, from the water bandits in the waters of the Liangzhe!     Seeing his benefactor for the first time, Cao Jinnian was very excited: "Last year, Cao was rescued by two benefactors, and Cao's life was saved. This year, Yu Chang has no way to repay him. I really didn't expect to meet two benefactors here."     The middle-aged man who came with Cao Jinnian had already followed after a few steps. Hearing Cao Jinnian's words, he quickly looked at Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping, with surprise on his face, and asked Cao Jinnian, "Is that what you said?" Those two life-savers?"     Cao Jinnian nodded excitedly, said yes repeatedly, and hurriedly introduced Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping, saying: "You two benefactors, this is my second uncle."     Turning around, he introduced Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping to Cao Second Uncle , after a year, I still remember their names firmly, word for word.     Dudao is the three great joys in life, the time of being named on the gold list, the wedding night in the bridal chamber, and meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land. When the Cao family met Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping, it wasn't just as simple as meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land. They greeted immediately, made a table and sat down, called the shopkeeper's wife, added a few more jugs of good wine, and ordered a few more delicious dishes.     Reminiscing about the old days, the uncle and nephew of the Cao family are endlessly grateful for what happened last year.

    Uncle Cao was about forty years old, he was as tall as a man from the north, and he was as shrewd as a businessman. After drinking three cups, he looked around without a trace, then moved closer to Lu Chengxiao, and asked in a low voice: "What time are you two little brothers?" Here..." After

    talking for seven minutes, I left three minutes to see the reaction of Lu and Liu.

    Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping realized the opportunity not long after they saw the Cao family's uncle and nephew. At this time point, they appeared here, and the Cao family runs a tea shop. What can be sold at sea?

    Silk, tea and ceramics.

    The two exchanged looks, and Lu Chengxiao leaned closer to Second Uncle Cao and said in a low voice, "To tell you the truth, Second Uncle Cao, the two of us transported a shipment of silk and porcelain. I heard that there is a chance here, so I asked along the way."

    Second Uncle Cao frowned . move.

    Cao Jinnian couldn't hold back any longer. He wanted to say something, but Uncle Cao stretched out his hand with a smile, and stopped him.

    Second Uncle Cao glanced at Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping, and asked with a smile on his face, "Can you find the way out?"

    Lu Chengxiao shook his head helplessly, and said, "To tell you the truth, Second Uncle, we only found this, and this is the third day we've been waiting here. It looks a little unusual today."

    Uncle Cao laughed, thumbed up, and said, "It's amazing to be able to find this place."

    As soon as these words came out, it confirmed what Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping had guessed in their hearts. Bright, Qi Qi looked at Second Uncle Cao.

    Second Uncle Cao laughed, patted Lu Chengxiao on the shoulder, and said, "Let's eat first, and you will follow my uncle and nephew later."

    It was obvious that he was going to be a guide.

    Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping were overjoyed, and hurriedly refilled Cao Ershu and Cao Jinnian, and Cao Jinnian, who was a few years older than them, hurriedly got up to pick up the jug: "I'll come, I'll come.

    " The wine glasses were full, Lu Chengxiao and Yan Ping especially offered a toast to Uncle Cao.

    Because he was thinking about business, he didn't dare to drink too much. At the end of the Xu Dynasty, Uncle Cao looked at the time and said he didn't want to eat. He called the shopkeeper's lady to check out. The drinkers also called for the bill one after another.

    Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping looked at each other, and they couldn't understand it, but they didn't want to think too much at the moment, Lu Chengxiao went to the counter to check out first, but Cao Ershu stopped him, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, don't worry, this is my responsibility." The nephew is here to invite you."

    Cao Jinnian was already smiling and striding towards the counter.

    After leaving the restaurant, Lu Chengxiao paid special attention, and saw that the other two tables had already paid their bills, so he only glanced at them, and walked away in two directions.

    This time, Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping were really confused. Could it be that they guessed wrong?

    Uncle Cao patted the shoulders of the two of them with a smile, and said with a smile: "Let's go, you will find out in a while." After

    saying that, he went out first, and coincidentally, it was in the direction of the inn where Lu Chengxiao and the others were staying.

    Just as Lu Chengxiao was about to ask, a person came out from the alley ahead, with his head bowed and he walked quickly.

    Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping subconsciously took precautions, but Second Uncle Cao stopped with a smile, and then Lu Chengxiao saw the man walking over with his head down stopped in front of them, swept all four of them's faces, and opened his mouth to ask: "White Snake Crossing the River?"

    Lu Chengxiao, Liu Yanping, and Cao Jinnian: "???"

    They were stunned, but they heard Cao Ershu answer with a smile: "A red sun is above the head." As soon as the words

    fell, the expression on the face of the person who asked the question relaxed He came down, took out a post from his sleeve with a smile, and gave it to Second Uncle Cao with both hands. After Second Uncle Cao took it, the man bowed to him and left, disappearing into the darkness, and disappeared after only a few turns.

    Lu Chengxiao gained knowledge, and finally understood how to connect with Haishang. People have to come out of the designated place at the right time and match the code to get the post.

    Presumably that post was the real meeting place.

    He and Liu Yanping glanced at each other, they both had the same thought in their minds, it was really lucky to meet Cao Jinnian's uncle and nephew this time.

Chapter 196

    How rigorous is the industrial chain of Maritime Industry?

    The location of the joint and the location of the delivery are always changing. Uncle Cao received the post outside the door of Sun Erniang's restaurant, but the actual delivery location is a small town inn more than 80 miles away.

    After reading the post, they don't need to go back to the inn to rest, they go back to collect the goods, and then meet at the delivery point.

    As for whether Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping's goods will be accepted by the other party, Second Uncle Cao is quite sure, "I have some kind of friendship with them, so it's not a problem."

    Second Uncle Cao didn't praise Haikou, and Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping rushed back overnight The wharf where his own cargo ship was docked, when he hired a convoy to deliver the goods to the Fulai Inn at the delivery point early the next morning, Cao Jinnian was already waiting outside the inn, trying to get Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping to move the goods to the backyard of the inn.

    Lu Chengxiao thanked him, and asked Liu Yanping and the others to transport the loaded car into the backyard of the inn first.

    A truckload of cargo was brought in. Naturally, Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping didn't need to do it themselves. Cao Jinnian just watched from the sidelines, seeing that there was no one around, and whispered to Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping, "This time the goods Originally, I just need to say that it belongs to our family, and it will be easy to get out, but what my second uncle means is that you definitely don’t just want to do business this time, it’s better to take you out of the way, and it’s just that the management over there The steward of receiving the goods is here, and I will lead you there now, and my second uncle will introduce you, so that you will have a way to find them next time."

    One south and one north, it is really unrealistic to say that you always take the Cao family's boat .

    However, Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping were kind to Cao Jinnian for saving his life, and Second Uncle Cao was more concerned about this matter.

    Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping were naturally grateful. There were Liu Yan'an and others taking care of them, so they left with Cao Jinnian.

    The inn was not too big, and the entire backyard of the inn was almost filled with goods brought by the Cao family and them and the people who charged the goods. When they entered the front hall, there was no one else except the shopkeeper and the staff.

    Seeing that Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping were puzzled, Cao Jinnian said with a smile, "This inn has been booked out for the past two days, so there are no other guests."

    After all, this inn was booked for the Cao family's business, Lu Chengxiao thought to himself , be very careful.

    Second Uncle Cao was on the second floor of the inn. When Cao Jinnian led Lu Chengxiao and the two of them up, Second Uncle Cao obviously heard some movement downstairs and was going out to check. When he saw the two of them, he greeted them with a smile and walked a few steps into the room. Please.

    There was a guest in the room, a burly man in his thirties, with dark skin and a burly build. On the table were wine, food and two sets of tableware. Obviously, Uncle Cao had been drinking with this guest before.

    Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping had vaguely guessed the identity of that person. Sure enough, Second Uncle Cao introduced them. The person's surname was Zhuang, and Second Uncle Cao called him Lord Zhuang.

    Second Uncle Cao also told the Zhuang Ye about Lu Chengxiao and Lu Chengxiao's identities and their purpose of coming, and said, "I'm a junior from a family of friends. My family is in the silk and porcelain business, so I came here by mistake and brought a whole load of goods with me. I just came here, and asked me to meet you yesterday, so I just want to lure the two of them to meet Master Zhuang, so that they can be kind, and I will be taken care of by Master Zhuang in the future."

    That big man is ten years younger than Second Uncle Cao . Next year, I will be able to accept Second Uncle Cao's "Master Zhuang" calmly. Naturally, I will also be flattered and easy to talk about: "Since I am a friend of Second Master Cao, it is easy to talk about it."

    Then he asked Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping: "I brought all the goods. Have you?"

    Lu Chengxiao nodded: "I brought them all, it's in the backyard."

    The Zhuang Master stopped sitting, and stood up with a smile: "It's almost eaten, let's go and see the goods."

    A group of people walked from two The building turned to the backyard.

    When Lu Chengxiao and the others came out of Yuanzhou this time, in addition to more than 300 taels of ceramics, there were also more than 700 taels of grass cloth. The grass cloth was sold in Liangzhe, and the money they earned was used to buy silk with interest and send it to Quanzhou. Come.

    The goods of more than 1,500 taels of silver, together with the tea from the Cao family, almost filled the entire backyard of the inn.

    The ceramics in Fuliang were carefully selected by Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping, who can say anything wrong, that Zhuang Master opened each box, his eyes lit up.

    "Good stuff!" After seeing more than a dozen boxes, his interest obviously increased. Someone else did the inspection of the terminal. He looked at Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping, and said, "Look at the silk you brought."

    There is nothing wrong with this . , leading a few people to the side of the silk cart.

    This batch of silk includes both silk and satin, and there are six bolts of Kesi.

    This technique of painting on a loom uses raw silk as the warp thread and colored cooked silk as the weft thread. It is known as one inch of silk and one inch of gold. There is a simple word: expensive!

    Compared with ordinary silk, this thing is extremely popular overseas.

    These six pieces of Kesi were bought from a family recommended by Master He. Master He had dyed silk thread for that family. This time, seeing Lu Chengxiao and the others were going to Liangzhe, he specially gave the address and wrote another letter. Let them take it with them, and only then did they buy these Kesi.

    Master Zhuang obviously knew that this was a bestseller, so he patted Second Uncle Cao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Second Master Cao, you two friends are good, and you found good things."

    He turned to Lu Chengxiao and said, "I want these goods ." Now, I will call someone to inspect the goods in a while, and he will quote you every price, and you can see if it is suitable for you, and if it is suitable, I will settle the bill with you, and our business will be considered."

    Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping Overjoyed, he hurriedly handed over to the Zhuang master.

    The Master Zhuang said with a smile: "Just a little bit. If you want to come here, you two will know what's going on here. It's better to be stricter, so there will be a next time."

    Speaking of the next time, Second Master Cao's eyes moved, " Mr. Zhuang, look at the next post?"

    Mr. Zhuang laughed, "I'm not in a hurry, we'll talk about the bill later." The

    inspector arrived soon, so Mr. Zhuang didn't care about it, and went to drink tea first. .

    The so-called inspection, firstly, is to look at the quality of the goods, and secondly, Lu Chengxiao brings a lot of styles of goods, and the receipt of goods by the sea merchants also depends on the price.

    When the quotation for the first piece of ceramic came out, both Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping's hearts jumped.

    More than three times, it is strange to say that it is quick to get money by taking the way of maritime merchants.

    The two exchanged glances, suppressed the excitement in their hearts, and waited for the other to pick up the next one.

    As long as the price has been quoted, Lin Huaigeng and the others will move out all the same models, and the other party will count and inspect the goods, and put them on the manifest.

    The price for Kesi was also extremely high, nearly twice as much as what they received from Master He's friend, but this thing is not easy to get, and Lu Chengxiao and the others didn't bring much this time. The profits of other silks are not as exaggerated as ceramics, but they are much higher than when they are transported to Hongdu and changed hands.

    After more than an hour of busy work, the final calculation came to more than 2,700 taels.

    This sum, the three hundred taels of porcelain alone made a net profit of nearly seven hundred taels, which was actually faster than silk.

    The person in charge of inspecting the goods went inside to inform Lord Zhuang, and told about the general quality of the goods. Master Zhuang came out with a smile, and was about to call for someone to pay Lu Chengxiao and the others. Said something.

    Lu Chengxiao only vaguely heard about Young Master and Young Master Chen, and saw that Master Zhuang suddenly stood up straight, turned his head and said to them: "You guys wait for a while, I have to go out for a while."

    Without waiting Lu Chengxiao and the others replied, and the wind under their feet led a few of his men out.

    Lu Chengxiao and the others looked at each other, Second Master Cao also had an inexplicable expression this time, he and Master Zhuang were used to dealing with each other, and it didn't look like there was anything bad on his face, so he simply raised his jaw: "Come and see."

    Lu Chengxiao and his party People quickly understood the reason, because the Zhuang Lord led his men from the backyard of the inn to the front hall, but before they could leave the inn gate, the two young masters entered the inn together with several subordinates behind them.

    When Master Zhuang and his subordinates saw the person coming, they all bowed in salute: "Young Master, Young Master Chen." Second Master

    Cao was stunned. He had dealt with Master Zhuang for several years, and this was the first time he had seen him above It was also the first time for a person like Zhuang Ye to treat others with such respect.

    He knew that the identity of the visitor would not be simple.

    But Lu Chengxiao seemed to be caught by some kind of spell, his eyes fell on the face of the young man who was called the son, and the memory of Liuxian Pavilion in Yangzhou a few months ago suddenly flooded out.

    That night, Liu Yu, Xiao Yuniang and Xiao Yuniang hid in the utility room and saw the man chasing them out. Although the light in the courtyard was not very bright at that time, Lu Chengxiao would never mistake him for it.

    Liu Yanzheng raised his hand: "Get up, go out for a while, come back and pass by here, I heard that there are goods here today?"

    Master Zhuang hurriedly straightened his back, but not completely straightened, and replied with a slight bow: " Yes, I have just finished counting, and they are high-quality tea, porcelain and silk, do you want to see them?"

    This is just a question, Liu Yanzheng nodded slightly, and Master Zhuang was already leading the way respectfully.

    The group walked not far from Cao's uncle and nephew, Lu Chengxiao, and Liu Yanping. Master Zhuang said, "It's the merchant we cooperated with this time."

    Liu Yanzheng raised his eyebrows, nodded with the others, and followed the guide without saying anything. Master Zhuang went to the backyard.

    When they passed each other, maybe Lu Chengxiao's gaze made him feel wrong, so Liu Yanzheng turned his head to look at Lu Chengxiao one more time.

    In the backyard of the inn, Lord Zhuang and a few of his subordinates opened more than a dozen boxes of goods for Liu Yanzheng to check. Chen Fang was attracted by a set of porcelain, picked up one of the teacups and played with it carefully, and said with a smile: "Yanzheng, this is not bad. , would you like to bring a set back for the old man?"

    Lu Chengxiao's eyes darkened, he did not admit his mistake, it was really the person he met in Liuxian Pavilion, and he thought he would never meet again.

    His expression didn't change, but Liu Yanping, who was very familiar with him, inadvertently caught a glance at Lu Chengxiao, his intuition was wrong, and asked him with his eyes, Lu Chengxiao regained his focus and shook his head.

    Over there, Liu Yanzheng was attracted by Chen Fang's words, and glanced at the porcelain cup in his hand: "Grandpa will like it."

    Turning around, he told the Zhuang Master to wrap up a set.

    Master Zhuang hurriedly said yes, the porcelain was packaged in a set, and he bent down to sort it out.

    At this moment, a person hurried in from outside, leaned into Liu Yanzheng's ear and said something, Liu Yanzheng's complexion changed suddenly, and he looked at the person who reported the letter: "What did Doctor Mo say?"

    The man lowered his head: "It is Doctor Mo who sent me Let's go out to find the young master."

    This is the meaning of calling him back urgently.

    Both Liu Yanzheng and Chen Fang changed their faces, they didn't look at any goods, even the tea set was forgotten, they put down the things in their hands, turned around and went to the inn layman.

    The two had already reached the front hall, and Lu Chengxiao heard the young master Chen say, "Don't worry about Yan Zheng, the old man was in good condition before we went to Yangzhou, he should be fine."

    Liu Yanzheng's face was tense He didn't speak, but his steps took a bigger step.

    A group of people came and went quickly.     Second Uncle Cao

    dared to go to Master Zhuang at this moment, and asked, "Master Zhuang, who are these two?"

Asked, and glanced sideways at Cao Er, "Second Master Cao, it's better not to be curious."

    Uncle Cao frowned, thinking that he could ask a few questions based on his friendship with Master Zhuang, but now seeing Master Zhuang's attitude, he knew I crossed the line, and hurriedly cupped my hands: "Yes, yes."

    No more asking about the identity of the visitor.

    The two batches of accounts between Lu Chengxiao and the Cao family were settled quickly, and Second Master Cao didn't keep much. He talked with Master Zhuang for a while, and then quietly stuffed a red seal into Master Zhuang's sleeve with his back turned to everyone. Only then did he call his nephew, Lu Chengxiao, and Liu Yanping over, bid farewell to Lord Zhuang, and left the inn with the two families.

    After leaving the inn and taking the return journey by water, these people naturally went to the carriage to hire a carriage to go to the pier.

    Uncle and nephew of the Cao family got into the same carriage with Liu Yanping and Lu Chengxiao. Uncle Cao then took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Yanping, "How do you find it next time? It's all in this envelope. Go back and look for yourself."

    Liu Yanping didn't even Knowing when Second Uncle Cao got this envelope, I thanked Second Uncle Cao and put it away.

    However, Lu Chengxiao asked at this time: "Second Uncle Cao, it is very beneficial to cooperate with maritime merchants. I don't know if there are other ways for maritime merchants in Quanzhou?

    " It's not that easy, and most of them are not successful."

    Seeing Lu Chengxiao raised his eyebrows, Second Uncle Cao lowered his voice and said, "Maritime merchants are also powerful, and the team we cooperate with is extremely strong. Except for some fishing villages in Quanzhou who organized their own Small forces, this is the one that really counts. Cooperating with them has a large volume of goods and is safe. It is rare to encounter black people, so it is the best choice."

    Lu Chengxiao pondered, and asked about these things Uncle Cao didn't know much about Zhihai merchants, so Lu Chengxiao quickly changed the subject.

    On the way to the wharf, we chatted about maritime merchants, and when the two families were about to board their ships, Mr. Cao pointed out: "You are close to Fuliang, next time you sell porcelain, you might as well bring some tea from Fuliang. It’s the same as porcelain, it’s very profitable.”

    It’s necessary to thank each other again, and even invite Cao’s uncle and nephew to come to Yuanzhou if they have the opportunity, so that they can show their friendship as landlords.

    Cao's family is also going to sell some tea to take back to the north. One side goes back south, and the two don't pass each other.

    After the Cao family's boat left, and their own boat had to set off, Liu Yanping looked at Lu Chengxiao who was standing at the bow: "You don't want to do business with these maritime merchants?"

    Lu Chengxiao was a little surprised, and glanced at Liu Yanping.

    Liu Yanping said with a smile: "I haven't been right since I was in the inn, and I asked Uncle Cao about other maritime forces. What's wrong with those two later in the inn?"

    Lu Chengxiao was amazed at Liu Yanping's sensitivity.

    He shook his head, "It's not a problem, I just don't want to deal with it anymore."

    Seeing Liu Yanping's confusion, he thought about whether the business was a partnership between the two of them, and explained: "I met them in Yangzhou before."

    As for the many, there was nothing .

    In his heart, he didn't want that person to have anything to do with Liu Yu, so he never mentioned anything about Yangzhou, even if it was Liu Yanping who asked.     Liu Yanping thought for a while, thought of something, raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, " Yu'er

    also met it?" Sure enough, the corners of Lu Chengxiao's lips pursed invisibly.     Well, Liu Yanping understood in an instant, it's not uncommon for a trip of several thousand taels, this is very jealous.     As for why it was decided that Yu'er was offended by jealousy and not by the other party, it was very simple. With Lu Chengxiao's love and care for his wife, if it was really offensive, Lu Chengxiao probably would have raised his fist in the inn just now.     It was obvious that the two of them didn't recognize him at all, and obviously they had never dealt with him face-to-face.     If there is no open dispute, it must be secret jealousy.     Liu Yanping was funny, so he didn't ask any further questions: "Okay, if you don't do it, don't do it. This trip is for the capital of opening a shop, and we will sell a few more goods on the return trip. At least three thousand taels in hand, no matter how turnover is Enough."     Although I feel sorry for the money, but the way to make money is tens of millions, his brother-in-law Yuer and Lu Chengxiao are so sweet, coveting their own sister, and all factors that may affect their relationship are ruled out it is good.     The author has something to say:     I am a little late today, sorry. Thanks to the little angel who voted for me as the overlord or irrigation nutrient solution during 2022-07-29 21:10:01~2022-07-30 18:55:07~     Thanks to the little angel of irrigation nutrient solution: mandy 20 bottles ;Mian extended 10 bottles;     Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

Chapter 197

    As the end of the year approaches, no matter if it is a bustling state city or a small rural town, it already has a new year flavor at this time.

    This twelfth lunar month in Changfeng Town is even more lively because of the addition of a Xinfeng warehouse by the pier.

    There are many shops in the small town, and there is no shortage of selling anything, but the warehouse is new to the people of Changfeng Town and the surrounding villages, especially the location of the warehouse is a row of warehouses on the wharf, but it was bought two months ago , After some renovations, the door was changed, and containers were packed. At the end of November, another shipment was delivered, and workers came in and out, but no one knew what the row of warehouses was changed for.

    It wasn't until an auspicious day in the twelfth lunar month that after nearly two months of mysterious torment, the eight warehouses, which had been completely new from the outside, were finally unveiled amidst the noise—people looked at Lu Jiasanlang and a few small A young man who was not recognized by the townspeople unveiled the signboard for this new warehouse, and the signboard was impressively marked with the four characters "Xinfeng Warehouse".

    For Lu Chengxiao and others, the publicity for the opening is already very familiar. The lion dance team from the county was invited. The two teams danced lively all day in the warehouse and on the main streets of Changfeng Town. .

    The boundaries of Changfeng Town are no different from Anyi County and Yuanzhou City, and lion dances are not common, so on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, almost half of the townspeople in Changfeng Town came out to join in the fun, and everyone knew that there was a new restaurant at the pier The Feng Inn was jointly opened by Lu Sanlang, who had already opened the cloth and embroidery villages to Yuanzhou City, and several of his uncles.     If the prosperity of the Lu family and the prosperity of the Lu family and the three-bedroom couple are the envy of the people in the small town, and occasionally a few people who know the development in detail always like to talk about it, then the things sold by Xinfeng Warehouse are those in the town. The common people were so impressed by it that they even rushed to tell the good news.     Are the things in Xinfeng Warehouse particularly novel?     There is novelty, but not all because of novelty.     You can buy 60 to 70% of the things you can buy in Xinfeng Warehouse, and you can also find them in other shops in the town.     What about 30% to 40%?     That's a novelty, something you don't usually see in small towns.

    Seafood from Fujian, tea from Wuyi, shiitake mushrooms from Longquan, dried bamboo shoots from Tianmu, bad eggs from Pinghu, dried meat from Jingjiang, ham from Jinhua, wine from Shaoxing, purple sand from Yixing, porcelain from Fuliang, combs from Changzhou and Yuhang Umbrellas...these are too numerous to count.

    Besides the quality and style, it is the same to buy cups and bowls, the porcelain cups and bowls in the grocery store in the town, there are clay pottery and porcelain, and there are indeed grades. There are ten designs and colors to choose from, right?

    Xinfeng's warehouse is different. There are dozens of designs and colors to choose from in his warehouse. Eight warehouses have been remodeled, and half of them are filled with such things on the containers.

    The same is to buy tea and sugar, there are only a few shops in the town, and Xinfeng Warehouse can ask you to choose flowers.

    Which one are you happy to visit?

    It must be a Xinfeng warehouse with rare things and a complete variety!

    Most of the things you need to buy for daily food, specialties and novelties from all over the world, what you didn't expect, are all available in the warehouse.

    What made the townspeople spread the word was that the Xinfeng Warehouse was open for three days, and the whole store gave away 20% of the goods, and a porcelain bowl would be given away for those who bought enough money.

    If the profit is 20%, why not oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, wine, tea, and all the new year's necessities that will be prepared for the New Year? If you buy a lot together, you can get a bowl for just five hundred renminbi. It is really a new year's shopping, and the whole family can gather a new set of bowls.

    Such a cheap price, why not invite friends to take it together?

    On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month at the wharf of Changfeng Town, it was really noisy with gongs and drums, and there were crowds of people watching the lion dance, watching the bustle, and rushing to buy things at a profit. The seven branches of the eight warehouses of the warehouse and one tent were Crowded with people, the common people look at the goods outside the cabinet, the clerk bills, the cashier pays, and then returns to the cabinet to pick up the goods.

    This is the collection method that Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanping came up with by referring to the method of getting goods in batches from the Fucheng cloth number. In this way, although the warehouse is large, there are only two accountants who have access to the money, and one of them has been placed in Wushan by Lu Chengxiao. The county followed the accountant to learn the Eight Treasures for half a year, so the management is much more convenient.

    It's just that three days before the opening, the two accountants really couldn't come to work. The brothers Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanqing had to go to battle together, and no one was idle. They were really busy moving wherever they needed.

    Lu Xun, who had already withdrawn from Yuanzhou, stood among the crowd outside the warehouse, smiling so that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes piled up layer by layer. Among the lively people who knew Lu Xun, they all congratulated him. .

    Lu Xun walked around here several times before heading home in a hurry.

    Zhou Qiongying gave birth to a fat boy in September. Lu Chengzhang and his wife opened two shops. The baby cried so much that Zhou Qiongying was forced to nurse him for three months. The business was too busy, and Chen had to take his grandson back to the house. He came to live in Changfeng Town, and hired a woman who had just given birth to help nurse the child in the town.

    Mrs. Chen was hugging her fat grandson, her eyes lit up when she saw Lu Xun enter the door, and when she heard Lu Xun vividly talk about the opening of the warehouse, the smile on her face never faded.

    The youngest son she loves the most is promising.

    By the time the news of a large warehouse opened in the town spread to the surrounding villages of Changfeng Town, it was already several days later.

    The life of the people in the town is not as good as that in the county and the state city, and the small people who plan food in the soil are different from those in the town. Their money is eager to break it into two flowers and open a new shop place, listen to, oh... and then there is no more.

    Most of the people in the village still go to the town when they meet the market, when they are short of things, or when they want to send something to sell at the market.

    Wang, who used to go to the town on market days, has not had a good life in the past year or so.

    Some of the main laborers in the family, Liu Yu was taken back by the Liu family, and the third child's family broke up and separated. I don't know where they went. It is said that the children were entrusted to their mother's house, and the couple went out to beg for a living together.

    Liu Kangsheng was left with Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang.

    Liu Erlang is still diligent, but Liu Dalang's temperament has changed drastically.

    Gloomy and gloomy, like a dormant poisonous snake, there is always a sinister and eccentric smile on his face.

    Seeing the sky, Mrs. Wu dressed up alluringly and ran out, going to her mother's house for a while, and her brother's place for a while. The diligent Lin, who was originally hardworking, also gave up her pick and quit when she saw Wu's like this.

    There are fewer people making money, and fewer people working. The money that can be handed over to Mrs. Wang is even less, but there are more jobs. Naturally, her life is not as easy as before.

    On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was only a few days before the Chinese New Year. Finally, it was time for Mrs. Wang to go to Jili, to sell the basket of eggs she had saved for half a month, and to buy some New Year's goods for some money.

    She knew that she should go earlier, and it was best to set off at dawn, so that she could occupy a good position in the market when she arrived in the town, and the eggs could be sold quickly.

    But no one cooks the breakfast at home. Mrs. Wu hasn’t come back after going out for a few days.

    Before dawn, in the dark kitchen, Mrs. Wang skillfully found a bundle of firewood beside the stove, folded it in twos and stuffed it into the stove, then grabbed a handful of dry pine hair and stuffed it in to light the fire. A cluster of warm yellow light was ignited in the kitchen, and amidst the crackling of firewood, Mrs. Wang sat in front of the stove in a daze.

    At this moment, Wang felt inexplicably that she had become an old cow, or an old donkey pulling a mill. Day after day, she surrounded the stove and the field, and she could be seen at a glance. To die of old age.

    Wang's hands paused, and she hung her head in a daze for a moment, when the firewood exploded again, and Wang suddenly remembered that there was no water in the pot, so she quickly stood up, scooped out a spoonful of water from the water tank, and poured it into the pot. There was a sound from the iron pot, and Wang came to his senses again, mechanically pouring water into the pot one spoon after another.

    When the sun came out from the east, the breakfast was finally ready, and when she set the dishes on the table, the Liu family got up and washed up.

    Mrs. Wang didn't have time to sit at the table and eat a mouthful of breakfast at ease. She just took a few quick bites in the stove and went out with a basket full of eggs.

    At the last big fair before the year, Mrs. Wang arrived too late, let alone set up a stall at the fair, the places where she could set up a stall were crowded along the street, and she couldn't even find a place to put her foot in.

    I searched a few places, but I couldn't find any. A woman selling vegetables glanced at the eggs in her hand and said, "It's too late to sell things."

    Mrs. Wang was embarrassed: "Something at home delayed me Now, big sister, can you let me have some here." The

    woman couldn't even set aside her own dishes, so she was not willing to give up the space. After thinking about it, she said: "Go to the edge of the pier and have a look, there may be room there "

    Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, "Is there anyone at the pier?"

    The woman laughed and said, "You don't know yet? There is a warehouse on the pier, which sells a lot of things, especially for New Year's goods." There are many, over there is no worse than here, and there are designated stalls."

    Wang really doesn't know, she hasn't been to the town for a long time, maybe someone in the village knows, but no one will tell her.

    Mrs. Wang thanked the woman and went to the pier with a basket of eggs.

    When I got to the place, I realized that the area around the wharf was really different. There was indeed a warehouse, and the business was very good, and there were indeed many stalls here.

    Mrs. Wang glanced at the warehouse several times. There was no good place outside the warehouse. She found an empty space in a corner opposite the warehouse, squatted with her eggs and set up a stall.

    Those who bought things in the warehouse would also buy some vegetables at the stall next to them when they came out. There were also people visiting Wang's place. They stayed there for an hour and sold sixteen eggs.

    Wang Shi was very happy, opened her throat and was about to yell, but when she saw a man and a woman coming together from a distance, the voice just got stuck in her throat.     The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is a big day for Lin Huaigeng and Zhou Ruyi. Zhang Xiaofu and Wei Shi take care of the affairs of the two embroidery shops. During this short period of time, there is no need to produce new styles in the embroidery shop, and Liu Yu feels relaxed Zhang Xiaofu asked her to pack up and go back to Changfeng Town to celebrate the new year. If she could attend Lin Huaigeng and Zhou Ruyi's wedding, she would also be able to accompany Lu Chengxiao.

    In the words of Zhang Xiaofu laughing at Liu Yu, save your horses from being tired.

    How sticky are the young couple? Liu Yu is in the county, and Lu Chengxiao spends most of his time in Changfeng Town since Xinfeng Warehouse just opened, so he really runs around every day.

    That horse, which was in its prime, but because Lu Chengxiao was always doing business outside, thought that he would retire early, but Lu Chengxiao had used it thoroughly since the twelfth lunar month.

    The brothers of the Liu family thought it was funny. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, they settled the accounts of the two embroidery houses. They had discussed with Liu Yu how to pay the embroidery workers at the end of the year and how to have holidays, so they settled the dividends in advance. The half that should be Liu Yu was given to Liu Yu, and on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Chengxiao brought him back to Changfeng Town.

    On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, this was Liu Yu's first visit to the warehouse jointly opened by Lu Chengxiao and his brother. In the crowded crowd, Lu Chengxiao held Liu Yu's hand, his eyes sparkled, and he led Liu Yu to see his new warehouse as if offering a treasure.

    He's been here a lot recently, and before he even got to the door of the warehouse, some people recognized him and greeted him with a smile: "Dong Lu's family!"

    Then their eyes fell on Liu Yu's face beside him, who had heard of Lu Sanlang before. The wife he married is not only rich in dowry, but also looks like a fairy. When he saw someone today, the eyes of a group of people outside the warehouse were shining.

    The one with sharper eyes saw the two hands clasped together under their wide sleeves, and asked with a smile, "Is it Mrs. Lu?

    " Say hello, chat a few words, and prepare to go into the warehouse.

    At this moment, someone rushed over excitedly from behind.

    Lu Chengxiao is a martial arts practitioner, and he has always been sensitive to this. Before he got close, he had already protected Liu Yu from dodging. Before he could see who was coming, he heard a cry mixed with excitement and trembling: " Yuer, Yuer..."

    Liu Yu's body froze suddenly, and when she looked up, Mrs. Wang said with tears in her eyes, "Yuer, it's mother     .

    "

Shi, Liu Dalang, Wu Shi, Liu Yanzheng, these people will all come out.

    However, there are not many scenes belonging to the Liu family. In this world, let’s talk about cause and effect. It shouldn't bother people, it's the Liu family who are about to swallow the bitter fruit themselves.

Chapter 198 (Revised)

    Does Mrs. Wang want Liu Yu?

    Thinking, especially when she was living a bad life in Liu's family, she would think of Liu Yu more and more, the daughter who she once felt cumbersome and made it difficult for her to gain a foothold in Liu's family. It's good to think of Liu Yu.

    But no matter how much she thought about it, she never dared to take a look at Liu Yu in Yangshan Village, even if it was a sneaky look.

    Not only because there is a powerful Wei family in Yangshan Village, but also because too many people in Yangshan Village recognize her, which is a boundary that she dare not step over.

    Mrs. Wang loves Liu Yu, but before she loves Liu Yu, she always loves herself more.

    It is true that at this moment, when she saw Liu Yu for the first time, she ran towards Liu Yu and called out that Yu'er, it was an instinct, and her choking and tears were also true feelings.

    On the noisy wharf, the small area of ​​Liuyu Station was silent for a while.

    In the past year, the Lu family has always been the topic of discussion in Changfeng Town. Among them, the youngest son and daughter-in-law of the Lu family are the most talked about; it is the lively and grand wedding, the generous dowry that everyone in the town loves to talk about. , and one shop after another opened later.

    Back then, Zhou Qiongying was the daughter of the merchant in the county's grain store in the mouths of the people in the town. At that time, the female family members of the Lu family lived in the town, so it was easy to find out.     As for Liu Yu, who married into the Lu family last year, she only had a more general idea, which was people's conjectures: Maybe she was a girl from someone who opened an embroidery shop in the county?     Yes, the Lu family is not often in Changfeng Town, especially after Liu Yu entered the house, almost the whole family moved to the county. The only relatives of the Lu family who can be regarded as relatives are the relatives of the Chen family, who are also far away in Chenjia Village. Not in Changfeng Town.     So regarding Liu Yu, the people of Changfeng Town really don't know anything, they only have some hearsay and pieced together information, and they can guess by themselves.     The more mysterious it is, the more powerful speculation it will be endowed with.     They analyzed the conditions of the Lu family, Liu Yu's dowry, and the fortune of the Lu family after marrying this young daughter-in-law.

    But just this morning before the New Year's Eve, outside the door of Xinfeng's warehouse, an old woman in old clothes with a weathered face said that she was the mother of the third daughter-in-law of the Lu family and the mother-in-law of Lu Sanlang? ? ?

    The three people standing a few steps apart, Lu Sanlang and his wife's brightly dressed clothes formed a sharp contrast with the woman's white-washed cloth clothes. The people who had greeted Lu Sanlang and Liu Yu before, and the people passing by , they all fell silent, looking back and forth between the fairy concubine-like Third Mrs. Lu and the hunchbacked old lady, the excitement of discovering the excitement and gossip surged in their bones.

    Liu Yu knew that with such a close marriage, one day she would meet Wang again.

    For a year and a half, maybe except for the wedding and Chinese New Year, she seldom came back to Changfeng Town, and because the dowry was very rich back then, and there was a shop in the county as a dowry, people in the town have always rumored that Lu Chengxiao married a businessman in the county daughter.

    In Liujia Village, no one has ever associated Lu's daughter-in-law with her.

    But Liu Sanlang and Wen Shi, who accidentally went to Ruyi Embroidery Village to find a job, kept secret about her all the time, even to Wen Shi's natal family.

    So the Liu family never knew about Liu Yu's news, let alone Liu Yu's marriage to Changfeng Town and Lu Chengxiao who had come to the Liu family to propose marriage.

    In the past year and a half, Liu Yu almost consciously erased Mrs. Wang from her life.

    She rarely thought of Mrs. Wang, and even if she did, she would quickly turn her mind away.

    However, such a meeting, which she was not expecting, came so unexpectedly, like Wang's footsteps, almost rushed into her eyes.

    A real person, she couldn't help but she could throw out her mind like before, and Mrs. Wang just stood there, eager to get closer with excitement and eagerness.

    As if she was really her beloved child who was accidentally lost and found.

    Liu Yu couldn't reciprocate that seemingly simple but actually weird and distorted enthusiasm.

    At that moment, Liu Yu didn't even know what kind of mood he was in.

    Mrs. Wang is old, and her face is more weathered than a year ago. At first glance, she looks five or six years old.

    Lu Chengxiao looked at Liu Yu, his eyes couldn't hide his worry. He held Liu Yu's hand all the time, so he knew how tense and stiff her body was under her indifferent expression.

    The vibe is quirky and gluey.

    This time, everyone could see that something was wrong, naturally, including Wang's.

    Her face, which was already dark and bloodless, was even more miserable at this moment. She stared at Liu Yu in a daze, opened her mouth, and tears rolled down her face first: "You don't recognize me?

    " Passing that weather-stained face, when Wang asked in a hoarse voice tremblingly that you don't recognize me, Liu Yu knew for the first time that there is a thing rooted in the blood, which you thought would never exist, but will At a certain moment, it rushes out with a force that you can't believe, manifesting its existence.

    For some unknown reason, the ears felt stuffy, blocked, and slightly swollen. It wasn't pain, but it couldn't be ignored.

    Reason and latent emotion are separated at this moment, Liu Yu clearly knows his attitude towards Wang, but he can't restrain the urge to cry at that moment.

    Even, I can't tell who the sadness at that moment is for, whether it is for Wang, or for the self in the past, or the self at the moment, or maybe, both.

    The hands were tightly clenched, and Liu Yu knew that it was Lu Chengxiao's silent comfort.

    The almost out-of-control sadness is only for a few moments. When it erupts, the remaining stamina wraps you in a long and wet way, like a wet and thick cloth towel soaked in returning to the south, pressing on your heart, heavy, Depressed, but bearable.

    Liu Yu looked at Wang Shi, and finally spoke.

    "Did you forget? I was sold by you more than a year ago." The

    crowd was in an uproar.

    The youngest daughter-in-law of the Lu family is the daughter of a village woman who can tell poverty at a glance, and she was sold more than a year ago! ! ! !

    Where can there be more explosive news than this.

    The section of the street outside the Xinfeng Warehouse has become more crowded. Imagine that the crowds were originally like flowing water. Now in this section, everyone stopped to watch the excitement and found that there was excitement and curiosity surrounding them. Yes, I realized that what I was looking at now was the excitement of the Lu family, the new richest man in Changfeng Town. In just a moment, there were more and more people.

    Surrounded by the crowd, Mrs. Wang didn't know it, she only heard Liu Yu's reply, and her heart was only filled with the knowledge that Liu Yu didn't recognize her.

    Wang's tears fell more and more fiercely, she took a step forward, trying to pull Liu Yu's hand, but Lu Chengxiao blocked it first.

    Wang Shi still remembers the time when Liu Yu was taken away, the Lu family came to propose marriage, and the appearance of the third son Lu in front of him when he found out that Liu Yu had been sold.

    He pressed Liu Dalang and Liu Yu's whereabouts, Liu Kangsheng went to stop him and was kicked away by him, and Liu Dalang's ghost crying and wolf howling and the bruise on his throat that hadn't disappeared for several days afterwards.

    She dared to pull Liu Yu, but she didn't dare to touch the third young master Lu's line.

    So the foot that stepped out fell to the ground half a step away, and she could only cry to Liu Yu who was beside Lu Chengxiao: "What can I do, Yuer, mother has no choice but to do so."

    She really felt The grievance, the real pain.

    Liu Yu couldn't empathize.

    Apart from the influence of that trace of blood, what is left between them?

    Liu Yu can't be entangled or care about, all she can do is stay away.

    She pulled Lu Chengxiao: "Let's go."

    Just these two words, without even looking at Wang Shi again, became the last straw that crushed Wang Shi's emotions. She fell limply to the ground, crying hysterically When he got up, the crying attracted more people to watch from a distance.

    Seeing Liu Yu still dragging Lu Chengxiao away, Wang has forgotten what reason is, and she has forgotten the deed that Wei asked her to write herself. She is afraid of Wei, but not the child she gave birth to.

    The blood rushed upwards, Wang's brain became hot, he got up suddenly, and jumped towards Liu Yu who was about to leave.

    Mrs. Wang is cowardly to the core when she is weak, and occasionally goes crazy but has amazing explosive power.

    She rushed towards Liu Yu like this, although Lu Chengxiao was on guard, she didn't touch Liu Yu, but she still made her grab Liu Yu's sleeve.

    Mrs. Wang grabbed Liu Yu's sleeve like she was grabbing the last piece of driftwood. She stared at Liu Yu unwillingly and stubbornly: "Liu Yu, I gave birth to you. I gave birth to you and raised you. How could you Do not recognize me? There is no reason in this world not to recognize one's own parents, there is no such reason!" The crowd of

    onlookers was discussing, there were too many people, and the voices were mixed. In fact, they couldn't be heard very clearly, but they could roughly guess it.

    There is a word of filial piety everywhere, not to mention the current Liu Yu and the Wang family, in the eyes of everyone, the Wang family is the poor and weak side.

    Lu Chengxiao's face darkened, and he was about to push him away, but Liu Yu held him down with his other hand.

    Liu Yu's face was very calm, but under that calmness, it seemed that something was deeply suppressed. Lu Chengxiao couldn't understand it, but almost subconsciously withdrew his hand.

    Liu Yu no longer looked at Lu Chengxiao, his eyes moved from the hem of his clothes held by Wang Shi to Wang Shi's face little by little.

    She nodded: "I was born by you."

    There was an uproar in the crowd again, it was really the biological mother.

    Liu Yu didn't pay attention to outsiders, she still stared at Wang Shi: "But have you forgotten why I was born by you? How did my father and my uncle die, and why did I end up in Liujia Village?"

    The voice was not loud, but every time she said a word, Wang Shi became terrified, the blood on her lips faded little by little, and her body also subconsciously leaned back little by little, wanting to back away, leaving Liu Yu alone. farther away. Only the hand that was clenching Liu Yu's sleeve was still clenched, but only she knew how much strength was left.

    Wang took a step back, Liu Yu took a step forward.

    "I was born by you, and I can't choose my birth."

    "But the one you gave birth to has been sold by you and died..."

    "Dead, do you know?"

    What kind of expression is that, indifference, hatred, madness, numbness, ruthlessness, calmness, despair, strangely kneaded together, as if the mouth is not about life and death, as if it is saying something It's someone else's business.

    But Mrs. Wang was so close to Liu Yu, she was so close that she felt the rushing emotions directly at that moment, and she was so close that she could clearly see Liu Yu's reddish eyes and the thin layer of tears in them.

    She retreated again and again, until finally she fell to the ground.

    Mrs. Wang didn't understand what it meant to be dead. Didn't she stand before her eyes alive? How do you call it dead?

    But her mind was shocked, and subconsciously, she understood in another direction. The one who was sold is dead, and the one who is alive is no longer her daughter. Is that what it means?

    Wang's mind was dizzy, and it was as if she had been hit by a thunderbolt on the top of her skull, which made her even have no strength to continue standing, and her spirit was shaken.

    Liu Yu's voice was not loud, probably not many people could hear it clearly in the noisy crowd, but Lu Chengxiao behind Liu Yu was shocked!

    Martial arts practitioners have more sensitive hearing than ordinary people, and his full attention is on Liu Yu.

    Liu Yu turned his back to him, but Lu Chengxiao heard those emotions for no reason, and was so shocked that his heart trembled.

    Liu Yu calmed down for a moment before turning around. The moment she met Lu Chengxiao's gaze, she knew that he had heard it.

    Got it...

    but there's really nothing real about it.

    Liu Yu was a little guilty, and wanted to give a comforting smile, but the corners of her lips moved, but there was no upward force.

    "I'm fine, let's go."

    He was about to go to the warehouse.

    In such a situation, how could he still care about looking at the warehouse, Lu Chengxiao held Liu Yu by his hand: "Go home first, come back another day."

    As for the Wang family, for a person who was willing to give up his own daughter for his own better life, Lu Chengxiao didn't give another look, and pulled Liu Yu away.

    The crowd of onlookers was discussing a lot, if you didn't hear clearly, ask the one in front what the mother and daughter said just now.

    Naturally, I heard it, but I didn't understand it very well. I didn't understand it. I just watched Wang's reaction. I guessed that what the young daughter-in-law of the Lu family said was probably true

    . , Ever since seeing Liu Yu, he couldn't recover from the shock for a long time. When he woke up, he had already left.

    One of them chattered and asked another woman in the same village: "Is that Liu Yu?" The

    women were no different from her, and Liu Yu was still in Changfeng Town! ! !

    Qi Qi nodded: "It's Liu Yu." Was

    n't it Liu Yu, who was sitting on the ground like a wooden man? That's Mrs. Wang.

    A group of women listened to the discussion of the surrounding people, heard that Liu Yu was the youngest daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and heard about embroidery villages and warehouses, their eyes widened the more they listened.

    God, it's exciting! ! !

    Mrs. Chen just coaxed her little grandson to sleep, when she saw Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yu who had just gone out came back, she was stunned: "Come back so soon?" Seeing

    that Liu Yu's complexion was a little strange, she said strangely: "What's the matter?

    Yu'er's complexion is not very good." Liu Yu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a while, but Lu Chengxiao said: "I met the people from Liujia Village outside the warehouse door. I didn't go to the warehouse. Come back first."

    Chen frowned slightly, it's really no wonder she, Chen's impression of the family in Liujia Village was really deep.

    She looked at Liu Yu up and down: "We met head-on? Which one did you meet?"

    When she asked here, she subconsciously looked at Lu Chengxiao again, but it was Liu Yu's own answer: "My mother." The

    voice was very soft, After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips tightly and did not make another sound.

    When Mrs. Chen heard that it was Mrs. Wang, her heart skipped a beat. In Liu's Village, the most difficult person to part with was Mrs. Wang, Liu Yusheng's mother.

    The grace of childbearing, even if this hat is put on, can make people feel overwhelmed.

    She looked at Liu Yu with some concern, and asked, "I met your mother, are you okay?"

    Liu Yu shook her head, feeling wrong again, and said helplessly, "There are quite a lot of people watching, I'm afraid someone will ask Come to your mother."

    Asking the front is a polite way of saying, Mrs. Chen has stayed in the town for a long time, and she naturally knows that Liu Yu and Mrs. Wang have collided head-on, and it is not very pleasant to see this. In the next two days, I am afraid that there will be everything in the town.

    Most of the time people don't care about the truth, they are just excited that there is one more thing to talk about, enough for them to talk about it for a few days.

    Mrs. Chen was quite open-minded, and comforted Liu Yu and said, "Don't think too much, the relationship over there has been severed long ago. We all know what's going on. The people in the town just talked about it for two days, so let's listen to it." Don't worry, don't take this matter to heart."

    Liu Yu nodded, but in fact, she might not be affected at all, so she talked to Mrs. Chen and went back to her room.

    Unlike the good mood when he went out in the morning, Liu Yu is extremely depressed now.

    As she once said to Lu Chengxiao, if you marry her, you will be in trouble. Although the auntie has frightened the other side with her tricks, but the situation like today will not happen in the future? The Lu family, Lu Chengxiao, will be troubled by her.

    Lu Chengxiao also remembered the night when Liu Yu was rescued from the river more than a year ago, she said: You don't know, you don't know what it really means to marry me..."

    Thinking of her sentence just now: "I was born by you, I did not choose my birth. "I

    remembered that she said to Wang: "The one you gave birth to has been sold by you and died..."

    "Dead, do you know?" "

    When they came back, they were silent all the way, Liu Yu's voice was always in Lu Chengxiao's mind when he said these two words, he only saw a figure from the back, but he automatically traced Liu Yu's expression when he spoke in his mind.

    Until now, I still feel palpitations.

    He hugged Liu Yu into his arms, he didn't know whether he wanted to support Liu Yu or comfort himself.

    Outside the Xinfeng warehouse, Mrs. Wang was still sitting on the ground, as if she had lost her soul.

    There was no excitement to watch, the previous onlookers had dispersed long ago, and there were people coming and going again and again. When they passed by Wang Shi, they saw her sitting on the ground, lost in spirits, and some were indifferent. Look at Wang Shi more. Those with a few glances, and some kind-hearted ones, stepped forward to ask if they needed help.

    After being asked by several people, Mrs. Wang finally came back to her senses, looked at the sky, and knew that it was time to go back to cook, so she got up and walked back in a daze.

    A young man who had set up a stall next to her before saw her leave, but half the basket of eggs was still here. After thinking about it, he picked up the basket and chased after her, "Ma'am, your eggs.

    " Basket, startled, nodded at the young man, took the basket and left, like a wandering spirit blending into the crowd, going home was the subconscious choice of the leg muscles.

    Eggs are no longer sold, and New Year’s goods are no longer available.

    Wang's mind was still full of Liu Yu's last two sentences.

    "The one you gave birth to has been sold by you and died..."

    "Dead, do you know?"

    "The one you gave birth to has been sold by you and died..."

    "Dead, you You know?"

    Dead.

    ...

    At the last big gathering of years ago, many people from Liujia Village came to the town to buy new year's goods. Those who didn't need to sell things for money, had bought almost all the things that should be bought at this point, and it was time to return.

    As Wang walked across the stone bridge in the north of the town, he ran into many people from Liujia Village who were also on their way back.

    Wang Shi was in a daze and couldn't see others, so naturally, no one greeted her.

    Their family has been isolated in the village since when, and no one wants to deal with them anymore. In the past, they met people on the road who always wanted to chat with each other. Over the past year or so, gradually, I have no words for a long time.

    When did it start? Maybe he sold Liu Yu, or maybe he drove Sanfang's family out.

    In the beginning, Wang would take the initiative to say hello to others, and she would get a response, but she would not talk too much, no one answered, and she could talk so that she felt embarrassed.

    Gradually, she woke up, and she no longer even greeted others.

    Just go in silence.

    When I was walking in the village, every time I met people in the village who were talking and laughing, as soon as she passed by, the scene became silent, and those who talked and laughed stopped talking.

    And when she left, the talking and laughing sounded again, mixed with some whispers of unknown meaning that were slightly lowered but could be heard clearly by her.

    That's right, their family has long been famous in Liujia Village, and she has long since become a joke in the village. She has become what the women call a stupid and poisonous mother. Even if tiger poison doesn't eat its offspring, she is even worse than a livestock.

    Wang walked very slowly, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and no one said anything behind her back.

    In Wang's ears, he could always hear voices one after another, buzzing, buzzing, without stopping for a moment.

    It was as if there was a hole in my heart that was empty, painful and ashamed.

    She didn't want to see anyone, let alone go home, but she had nowhere to go except for that home in Liujia Village.

    Before arriving at Liujia Village, Wang subconsciously took a detour and had nowhere to go, so she sat down on a field stalk with her basket of eggs in her arms.

    There was no one in the wilderness, and it was almost noon when a villager drove an old cow in the distance. Wang stared at the old cow with empty eyes for a long, long time.

    The eye sockets were slightly sore, and then blurred. In the blurred tears, the past flashed by. It was the little Liu Yu who helped carry firewood to carry water, feed the chickens and sweep the floor, and stepped on the bench to help cook. I picked up the net and showed it to her.

    Wang suddenly collapsed and cried loudly.

    She was wrong, an old cow and someone cherishes it, but she is actually not as good as an old cow.

    The only eldest daughter who would love her and cherish her, was pushed away by her own hands, and would never recognize her again.

    Wang was crying hoarsely, but no one would wipe her tears away.

    The author has something to say:

    It is not important to delete the reactions of Chen Huaihua and the people in the town. These people are actually not related to the protagonist and the incident.

    Thanks to the little angels who voted for me as the overlord or the irrigation nutrient solution during 2022-07-31 18:00:55~2022-08-01 19:09:26~

    Thanks to the little angels who irrigate the nutrient solution: happy little 19 bottles of goldfish;

    thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

Chapter 199

    The news of Liu Yu quickly spread in Liujia Village, and there were many people talking about it. Even if the Liu family was no longer welcomed by the villagers, they soon heard the news.

    The people in the village don't know much about the news, it's all from the town. They heard that Liu Yu married into the Lu family, that Liu Yu's dowry was rich, and that Liu Yu is now running an embroidery shop in the county...

    only These made everyone in the Liu family red-eyed.

    Seeing the uncontrollable greedy faces, and seeing Liu Dalang's almost distorted appearance intertwined with jealousy, resentment and greed, Wang's heart trembled.

    After dinner, the eldest couple, who had been in a cold war for more than a year and had little relationship with each other, avoided her again and entered the main room.

    Mrs. Wang stood under the window of the stove house, looking fixedly at the direction of the main room. At this moment, she even had a very venomous thought in her heart. If there is any medicine that can kill people, put a spoonful of it in it as salt when cooking. Is it possible to send all those litters away?

    This thought only popped up for a moment, and then I thought of Liu Yan and the rest of my life, and then pushed it back, and then felt that I was ridiculous and pathetic.

    Liu Dalang and his wife walked away, Wang returned to the main room and appeared quietly, Liu Kangsheng was startled.

    Wang twitched the corners of her lips: "The reaction is so big, did you act with humility?"

    Liu Kangsheng's face darkened when she was so eccentric, and just about to reprimand her, Wang said coolly: "Don't forget the cut-off agreement we signed. And the confession of what happened back then is in the hands of Wei Shi, and don't forget, Wei Shi still has a son who is in the yamen."

    For the first time in his life, Wang Shi had to rely on Wei Shi's power to protect his daughter.

    No, it's the second time.

    If it wasn't for Wei Shi...

    Wang's hands trembled, she didn't dare to think about Liu Yu's fate. At this moment, Wang finally understood the meaning of Liu Yu's words. If Wei Shi didn't exist, maybe there would be no Liu Yu was still standing in front of her alive now.

    A chill went up from the soles of her feet, and went straight into her bones.

    When Liu Kangsheng was reminded by Wang Shi, she also calmed down, met Wang Shi's cold gaze, and lowered her eyes uncomfortably: "I just said a few gossips, what are you thinking about."

    Wang Shi sneered: "It's gossip Best, Liu Kangsheng, rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry."

    On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Anyi County.

    After the New Year's Eve, all walks of life resumed business again, and the county town was extremely lively. On the pier, a ship had just docked, and people boarded the pier one after another. A man in cloth clothes and a bamboo hat also disembarked. Standing still at the pier, he took a look, grabbed a dock porter, and inquired about Ruyi Embroidery Village.

    If Liu Yu was here, he would be able to recognize that the person wearing the bamboo hat was none other than his stepbrother Liu Dalang.

    The porter showed him the way in detail, Liu Dalang thanked him, and stood at the pier and looked around the city of Anyi.

    It has been more than a year, and this is the first time Liu Dalang has stepped into Anyi County since that accident, and he came by boat. Since that incident more than a year ago, Liu Dalang has already cast a shadow over mule carts and Anyi County. .

    But for Liu Yu, it was shadow and resentment.

    For many days and nights, Liu Yu has been his nightmare.

    "Is it difficult to cut off children and grandchildren? I just need to come to you, it's easy."

    The coldness in Liu Yu's eyes and the coldness of the scissors rising high and falling down, the heart-piercing pain and boundless fear Despair, Liu Dalang will never forget it in his life.

    In the past, Liu Kangsheng and Wang never said who or where Liu Yu was taken away. Liu Dalang had no way of knowing about Liu Yu.

    But now, knowing that Liu Yu is married to the Lu family in Changfeng Town, and knowing that she runs an embroidery shop in the county, even if Liu Kangsheng suppresses it, and Liu Yu has a big reason to send them to prison, Liu Dalang will still go to his father-in-law. In the name of Wu's family, he came to Anyi County alone.

    Ruyi Embroidery Village, the gate is far more imposing than he imagined, Liu Dalang stood in an alley opposite the Embroidery Village, staring at the female guests coming in and out of Ruyi Embroidery Village, wearing hairpins and satin.

    Don't talk about hairpin rings, just talk about clothes, let's say a few taels.

    When Liu Dalang looked at Ruyi Embroidery Village again, his eyes seemed to be involved in a gloomy storm.

    Such a big embroidery shop sells a few sets of clothes, so how much is this embroidery shop worth?

    Liu Dalang couldn't imagine that the original eighty taels was a sky-high price in his eyes, and because of the eighty taels, he was abolished by Liu Yu.

    Liu Dalang clenched his hands into fists by his side, his joints crackling.

    Why, he has become a useless person, Liu Yu can still live such a good life.

    The hostility in his heart could not be suppressed, if he wanted to kill Liu Yu, he must kill Liu Yu.

    In the small teahouse beside Xiuzhuang, Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanqing chose a seat by the window to sit.

    This is the third day the two have been in the teahouse.

    The teahouse is not big, not far from the embroidery village. The shopkeeper is quite elegant and interesting, and he used a lot of green plants to decorate it.

    Liu Yanqing and Lu Chengxiao chose this position to have an advantage. They sat and took care of each side. Almost half of the street outside Xiuzhuang was under their noses, and looking into the teahouse from the outside, as long as they were not too close , the figures of both of them can perfectly hide behind the green plants.

    When Liu Dalang appeared on the street where the embroidered village is located, Lu Chengxiao noticed it. When it was neither sunny nor rainy, he was wearing a bamboo hat and sticking it to the corner of the wall to stare in the direction of the embroidered village. Although he could only see half of his face, Lu Chengxiao still He was already five or six points sure that it was Liu Dalang who had arrived.

    Speaking of which, Liu Yu mentioned it the day after meeting Mrs. Wang that time years ago.

    In the past, few people in the town knew her identity, but after meeting Wang Shi, sooner or later it spread to Liujia Village.

    Wang and Liu Kangsheng don't need to worry too much about it. The second couple, Lin is more greedy, but Liu Kangsheng can hold back. If there are hidden dangers in the Liu family, the biggest hidden danger is Liu Dalang who was injured but not dead.

    Since the last time I saw Mrs. Wu entangled with other men in the county, Liu Yu had vaguely guessed about Liu Dalang's situation. Whoever hates him the most in this world is of course Liu Dalang.

    Liu Yu didn't care, she also wished Liu Dalang would die, for each other.

    But thinking of this incident, he still had to take precautions. He privately told Lu Chengxiao about the situation that day, and also told about Liu Dalang's conjecture that he might retaliate. That's why Lu Chengxiao and Liu Yanqing were waiting here today.

    Lu Chengxiao gave Liu Yanqing a look: "Look, is that Liu Dalang at the corner of the dim sum shop?"

    Liu Yanqing suddenly became vigilant, turned around and opened the branches and leaves by the window to look out.

    Liu Yanqing only met Liu Dalang once, outside another teahouse in a nearby street, and just met her cousin, and she told him privately that there was trouble in the mule cart.

    He still remembers the scene he saw when he raised the curtain of the carriage. Liu Dalang was stuffed with a drug-soaked towel, lying in a weird posture like a dead fish, and the whole mule cart was filled with a stench. After checking, I realized the feat of the cousin I just found.

    Well done!

    Afterwards, Liu Dalang was sent to the medical clinic, and he was sent back to Liujia Village.

    Liu Yanqing is a fast catcher, and he is more sensitive than ordinary people in identifying a person. Even if it was like that when he met Liu Dalang that time, he took note of his figure and facial features.

    Just seeing the lower half of Liu Dalang's face from a distance, Liu Yanqing was already sure.

    "It's him, go and tell

    Yu'er." They stayed here to ensure Liu Yu's safety, but Liu Yu didn't say anything about what to do with Liu Dalang. She will do.

    Seeing that Liu Yanqing had also confirmed that the man was Liu Dalang, Lu Chengxiao squinted his eyes, resisting the urge to clean up the person himself, and asked Liu Yanqing to continue guarding, and he walked towards the back door of the teahouse.

    In the backyard of Xiuzhuang, at the door of the tailoring room, Lu Chengxiao stood outside the door and called out to Liu Yu.

    Seeing him coming at this time, Liu Yu raised her brows, she had an idea, put down the scissors in her hands, and followed Lu Chengxiao to the flower hall to talk.

    "Is someone here?"

    She asked this question cryptically.

    However, Lu Chengxiao understood what he heard, nodded, and said, "It's at the corner of the dim sum shop across the street, what's going on in the back, what should I do?"

    Liu Yu curled his lips, and leaned into Lu Chengxiao's ear and said a few words.

    Lu Chengxiao was a little surprised, nodded, and said: "Okay, I will watch this matter personally, I will call your elder brother back, you stay in Xiuzhuang, if you don't go anywhere without me or your brother by your side, you know Don't know?"

    Lu Chengxiao couldn't deny that when he knew that Liu Yu had cut Liu Dalang with a pair of scissors that year, he was extremely surprised, and then he could even imagine the danger at that time, if she hadn't injured Liu Dalang and escaped, how could it be possible When he met his aunt, if he hadn't met his aunt and Yan Ping and Yan An, Lu Chengxiao would have no way of imagining what would happen to Liu Yu later.

    Knowing that in addition to being weak, she also has a brave side, but because of this, she is even more worried about Liu Yu facing Liu Dalang.

    Lu Chengxiao could imagine that a man's life was crippled, and his personality would become even more distorted.

    Such a person is too dangerous, knowing that such a person is nearby, Lu Chengxiao is not at ease even half a step away from Liu Yu.

    Watching Liu Yu go back to the tailoring room, he quickly went back to the teahouse, saying that he had to go out for something, and asked Liu Yanqing to go back to the embroidery shop, otherwise, if there were a room full of women, that Liu Dalang would really go crazy, who could resist it.

    Liu Yanqing also meant the same thing, the two of them made tea money and went out through the back door of the teahouse, so it was time to ask Lu Chengxiao what he was going to do.

    There was no one around, Lu Chengxiao whispered to Liu Yanqing, "I'm going to keep an eye on Liu Dalang's uncle Wu Jin's residence to see if Mrs. Wu settled there after he came to the county. Yu'er bumped into Mrs. Wu last year. The Wu family doesn't seem to be clean here."

    Liu Yanqing frowned, and there was nothing he didn't understand when he said this, Liu Dalang was abolished, and the Wu family found another concubine in the county through Wu Jin.

    He patted Lu Chengxiao: "Then you don't need to go. I know where Wu Jin works and where he lives. Go back and watch over it. I'll keep an eye on it."

    It would be better for Lu Chengxiao to look for him than to go by himself. Wu Jin fell into his hands for a while back then, and Liu Yanqing knew about Wu Jin's situation.

    Lu Chengxiao was really worried about Liu Yu, thinking that Liu Yanqing was originally in the yamen, and he was indeed better at this aspect than him, so Liu Yanqing went. The two parted, and he hurried back to the embroidery village.

    Many things have cause and effect in the dark.

    Liu Dalang used it as an excuse to take over Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu is indeed not in Liujia Village. Naturally, the nonsense about going back to her mother's house is just to bluff Liu Yanqing, who is really in the county.

    Liu Yanqing went out for a long time and didn't come back until evening.

    It turns out that Mrs. Wu arrived in the county yesterday, hang out with people in Wu Jin's house at night, sleep with her head covered during the day, and go out for dinner with a man on her arm in the evening.

    It was then that Liu Yanqing saw the person.

    He hurried back to Xiuzhuang and told Liu Yu about the situation.

    Liu Yu raised his eyebrows: "What a coincidence?"

    At that moment, Lu Chengxiao saw a flash of emotion in Liu Yu's eyes so quickly that he didn't even have time to see it clearly.

    Liu Yu asked about the restaurant where the Wu family ate, and took Lu Chengxiao's arm: "You can go out with me for a walk."

    Lu Chengxiao glanced at her.

    Liu Yu looked back calmly.

    The enmity between the past life and the present life must be avenged. Liu Yu never felt that he was a good person. What's more, this is the position of death and death, if she doesn't fight back, Liu Dalang will not let her go.

    She doesn't do anything, it's up to the couple to choose whether to be a human or a ghost.

    Lu Chengxiao met Liu Yu's gaze, and finally nodded without asking anything, "Let's go."

    He said hello to Wei Shi, and said that he would go back to eat in the evening, and asked Xu'er not to go with them, but to go home and do it first A few dishes, one should be arranged, out of the door.

    Liu Yanqing hesitated to speak, waited for Liu Yu and Lu Chengxiao to go out from the main gate of the embroidered village, saw Liu Dalang wearing a bamboo hat hanging behind them, waited for them to walk for a while, and followed behind Liu Dalang.

    The author has something to say:

    Thanks to the little angels who voted for the overlord or the irrigation nutrient solution for me during 2022-08-01 19:09:26~2022-08-02 18:01:38~

    Thanks to the little angels for the irrigation nutrient solution : I understand the truth, 20 bottles of cat-catching fish; 1 bottle of mirror;

Chapter 200

    On the long street in the twilight, Liu Dalang stared at the back of the woman in front of him, his eyes seemed to be poisoned, but when he saw Lu Chengxiao beside Liu Yu, he didn't even dare to get closer.

    He was waiting, waiting for an opportunity for Liu Yu to be alone.

    Liu Yu seemed to be ignorant of being targeted, and used herself as bait to lure Liu Dalang to the wine shop where Wu's was.

    She was very calm, so calm that even Lu Chengxiao looked sideways.

    When he was about ten feet away from the restaurant, Liu Yu stopped in his tracks, looked at the signboard of the restaurant, and asked Lu Chengxiao, "Have we not eaten at this restaurant yet? How about we eat here at night?"

    His eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and the corners of his lips were shallow. He tilted his head, and even his voice contained a bit of a smile, and it fell into the eyes of Liu Dalang who was behind him, full of hatred.

    "Okay." Lu Chengxiao smiled dotingly, and cooperated very well.

    The two entered the wine shop together, but they just stepped in with one foot and turned around hastily.

    Lu Chengxiao was pulled out by Liu Yu, he had a puzzled look on his face, "What's wrong?"

    Liu Yu's face was a little strange: "Don't ask, let's change places."

    He hurriedly pulled Lu Chengxiao away.

    Liu Yu's attitude made Liu Dalang behind him all curious, so flustered? He couldn't help but glanced in through the window of the restaurant, and with just one glance, Liu Dalang's gloomy eyes widened.

    Wu Shi, who should be in her natal family, is eating at the same table with a man in a restaurant at this time, and there is not enough room for her to sit at one table, so she has to get together and drink intimately, almost squeezing half of her breasts into the man's strong body. on the arm.

    Liu Dalang felt all the blood rushing to his forehead.

    But at this time, Lu Chengxiao's slightly shocked voice came: "Isn't that..."

    Liu Yu seemed a little embarrassed, and said: "It has nothing to do with us, I have nothing to do with that family for a long time, and that man looks bad Come on, let's not mind this business."

    The voices of the two gradually drifted away, and Liu Dalang was still immersed in the shame and resentment covered by the green cloud. Even Liu Yu, a former sister-in-law, felt ashamed to be found stealing by Wu, a sister-in-law, in front of her husband. The bastard will only be more unbearable.

    But Liu Yu's last words managed to slow down Liu Dalang's pace of rushing in.

    He looked at the man's stature, and even though he was angry, he had to admit that he was not enough for a punch, and it would definitely not be good to rush up at this time.

    Liu Dalang told himself that he had to be patient, not to mention that when there was a disturbance now, Liu Yu should have found out that he was following him, he told himself that way.

    Liu Dalang subconsciously took two steps back, avoiding the angle where Mrs. Wu couldn't see him, fixed his eyes on the couple in the restaurant, and didn't follow Liu Yu any more.

    With Lu Chengxiao here, it is difficult for him to find an opportunity to strike, and he will find another opportunity later, but it is very likely that the Wu family will cuckold him here. Thinking that for more than a year, the Wu family has been swearing at each other every night, or sneering at each other, Liu Dalang pressed on The veins in my hand on the brick wall are bulging.

    Liu Yu left Liu Dalang's sight, and the smile on his face dropped.

    She didn't stay to watch the follow-up, but walked the way home in silence.

    Lu Chengxiao's heart was also a little heavy. On the way just now, even if Liu Dalang's target was not him, Lu Chengxiao could feel that kind of resentment.

    Back home, Xu'er had already prepared the food, Liu Yu looked normal, but when having dinner, he used a small bowl instead of using a small bowl, and put down the bowl and chopsticks after only touching two mouthfuls, letting Lu Chengxiao and Xu'er eat slowly , I went back to my room first.

    Xu'er was stunned: "Is it because the food is not to your liking?"

    Lu Chengxiao shook his head: "It's nothing, you can eat by yourself, I'll go in and have a look." Then he

    put away the dishes and went into the inner courtyard.

    Liu Yu is drawing an embroidery manuscript, which looks the same as usual.

    Lu Chengxiao sighed inwardly, and suddenly said: "I don't know how those two are doing now."

    The pen in Liu Yu's hand paused, and then said: "It's nothing, Liu Dalang knows how to balance, he is not your opponent, so he dare not attack me when you are around, similarly, he is not that man's." The opponent will not make any moves tonight."

    Liu Yu is very clear about who Lu Chengxiao is, and she can understand it, so how could he not understand it.

    Lu Chengxiao took the pen from Liu Yu's hand: "Then why are you so anxious?"

    Because of fear, because it was the first time he did something evil.

    Liu Yu looked at Lu Chengxiao, but didn't speak.

    For the first time, Liu Yu's schedule was messed up, she didn't practice dancing for a while, or the couple read a book together as before, but lay down on the bed early.

    It was also the first time that instead of stabbing into Lu Chengxiao's arms, he turned sideways with his back to Lu Chengxiao.

    The room was very quiet, Liu Yu didn't turn around for a long time, she couldn't sleep, but she didn't want to let Lu Chengxiao know.

    She actually didn't know how to face Lu Chengxiao, nor did she know how to face the evil thoughts in her heart, and she was even more afraid that Lu Chengxiao would ask a few more questions.

    All kinds of past and present lives flashed before her eyes. In the desperate situation, Liu Yu told herself countless times that if possible, she must make the person who harmed her pay the price.

    However, after struggling through those desperate years, she had a new life, and many things changed unconsciously, such as Liu Dalang and Wu Shi. Coming up, Liu Yu was determined not to want to have anything to do with them again.

    But Liu Dalang came here with full of evil intentions, he didn't need to dirty his hands to get revenge, Liu Yu felt that it was right for her to fight back.

    correct.

    Telling myself over and over again, it took a long time before finally falling into a deep sleep.

    The breathing of the person next to the pillow became even, so Lu Chengxiao moved.

    Not only Liu Yu couldn't sleep that night, but Lu Chengxiao also couldn't sleep.

    There has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief.

    Lu Chengxiao was very afraid, very afraid that he would put Liu Yu in danger when he lost sight of him, and also worried about Liu Yu's current state.

    Liu Yu's toughness and composure are all on the surface, and she may not realize that since she walked out of Ruyi Embroidery Village in the evening, Liu Yu's whole body has been tense, and she has never relaxed for a moment.

    Dongling Lane, in the courtyard where Wu Jin rented.

    At this time, all the lights in the house have been extinguished, there is only a crescent moon, which is hidden under the clouds, and occasionally a little moonlight can pour down.

    The population living in the courtyard is complex, and Liu Dalang came here along with Mrs. Wu and that man.

    He knew Wu Jin's residence. He had come here several times to discuss the matter of finding a Yaman to sell Liu Yu. The affordable toothmaid is here. It's just that Wu Jin couldn't use the room rented by Wu Jin when he was tying Liu Yu, but now the Wu family can use it for stealing people.

    At night, everyone in the courtyard was asleep, and Liu Dalang was stuck under the window outside Wu Jin's house. He didn't need to bother to peek, and Wu's suppressed lewd voices could be poured into his ears.

    Men like to say rough things on the bed, and they especially like to lead Mrs. Wu to talk about whether the men in her family can do the job or not, and who is better at it.

    Although Wu can come out to steal people, he can't come out every day. If he is with Liu Dalang on weekdays, he will go crazy. He can say anything when he is provoked by a man. Except for cursing Liu Dalang, now she threw out all the words in more unrestrained words, and used them to have fun with men on the bed. The uglier and more wanton she said, the more excited the man was, and the more ruthless she was made.

    Not only Liu Dalang could hear the unrestrained sex, the unbearable swearing at the base of the wall, but also the other family members in the yard, whoever pricked up their ears could vaguely hear a few words.     Liu Dalang was about to go crazy, his deadliest pain, the privacy he wanted to hide the most, just like this was being shaken out under the man without any scruples by Mrs. Wu, taking him as a joke while sexing.

    Liu Dalang's eyes were so red that they were about to bleed, and his hands were trembling crazily. If he had an ax in his hand at that moment, he would just want to break in and chop up the couple of adulterers!

    He looked around the yard, axe, axe...

    The night was very dark, and every household in such a large courtyard would put away all their things, so naturally they couldn't find anything to keep them handy, and their sanity gradually returned a little bit, yes, Liu That dead girl said before, that man is not easy to mess with.

    Lu Chengxiao's skills are not easy to mess with. Did he bring an ax in to give away the head?

    Liu Dalang turned his eyes back to the window of the rented house. The wooden window was tightly closed, and the light inside was not turned on. Liu Dalang's sight was not capable of penetrating the wooden window, but only by the sound that entered his ears, Liu Dalang I can imagine what Wu Shi looks like now.

    His complexion became more and more ferocious.

    Adulterer, wait.

    Liu Dalang pinched his own bamboo hat and put it on his head again, got up silently, and left the courtyard, his figure was hidden in the thick darkness of night.

    Liu Yu fell into a nightmare in the middle of the night, and the scenes in the dream were chaotic. Sometimes she was in the hands of Ren Yazi, and when she woke up in the middle of the night, she found that her companions around her were cold all over; □□; At one moment, Liu Dalang chased Wu Shi with an axe; at another moment, he hit his head on a rock and fell into a pool of blood.

    Xu'er stumbled and rushed in, shaking like chaff: "Girl, yes, it's him, Brother Xu said, the prince brought a team of guards and a few relatives to accompany him, and... there are two and a half people." Tall, big black wolf dog." The

    fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl was so frightened that her teeth were chattering that she was about to faint.

    After a while, Xiao Yuniang was carried back to Liuxian Pavilion, without a piece of good skin and flesh on her body.

    "Yu'er, wake up, you're having a nightmare."

    While her body was being shaken, Liu Yu's dream continued, it was Xu'er holding her and crying hoarsely.

    Liu Yu is trapped in a disorderly hell, and all the scenes start a new round of reincarnation and cycle.

    Lu Chengxiao hadn't been able to wake her up yet, but he saw Liu Yu trembling all over, he hugged her hurriedly, patted her, and whispered in Liu Yu's ear: "Liu Yu, don't be afraid, it's a nightmare, wake up! I

    don't know if his reassurance played a role, but when Lu Chengxiao was about to pinch willows among the fisherman, the people gradually quieted down, but his hands firmly grasped Lu Chengxiao's lapel without knowing when.

    Lu Chengxiao looked at her worriedly, without changing his position, just hugged her all night.

    And on the boat from Hongdu Mansion to Yuanzhou, Liu Yanzheng also woke up from his sleep. He subconsciously took out a box from his pillow. There was nothing else in the box. It was the eyebrow pendant Chen Fang brought back for him. .

    After more than a year, Liu Yanzheng gradually discovered something. When he was close to this pendant, he would have the same dream repeatedly, several violent tortures, and even the dream of killing several strangers .     Both Master Meng and Wei Lianxing in the dream were found, and even Master Meng, who knew about them from nowhere, found him through Chen Fang a few months ago, and wanted to get involved overseas.     Liu Yanzheng didn't agree, and he didn't admit that he knew any sea merchants. He just got in touch with them not far or near, but he never touched more things related to dreams.     On this trip, he took this eyebrow pendant with him by a strange coincidence, and he couldn't say why, maybe it was... hoping to dream of something else, to see the owner of that voice.     It was still not a good dream tonight, Liu Yanzheng put down the frown and walked out of the cabin.     There was a subordinate on duty on the boat, and seeing him coming out, Liu Yanzheng hurriedly bowed to salute. Liu Yanzheng raised his hand, looked at the approaching sky, and asked, "How far is it to Anyi County?" The     subordinate thought for a while Thinking, said: "It should be there in about five days."     Five days?     Liu Yanzheng looked back at the direction of the cabin behind him, nodded and did not speak again.
