Miao Baichuan has a lot of guests in the family, but there are not many masters, and the four newcomers are the highest, in addition to the family power, personal prestige and the experience of the rest of their lives, these four guests do not have it, but their cultivation is higher than that of the master. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Miao Baichuan was naturally reluctant to give the four people to the head of the family, and it was also the head of the family who was disturbed by the trouble caused by Miao Wu, so he didn't see through this matter, and pushed the four to Miao Baichuan in a daze, of course, the head of the family also mistook Zhang Xian for it, since he had reached his mind, the head of the family was thinking about regretting it, but Miao Baichuan didn't give him a chance, pretending to be confused.
If you can win the hearts of these four people, you have to rescue their family, but the Miao family has a mess, and Miao Baichuan has no time, so Zhang Xian took over the matter.
Miao Baichuan sent one of his most trusted and veteran doormen to Zhang Xian as a guide, and the four new doormen could only stay at Miao Baichuan's house and wait for news.
"Yuan Gongzi (Zhang Xian's nickname for himself, which can also be said to be his name; Yuan Yi), will you act tonight?"
"Well, this matter can't be delayed, it must be done as soon as possible, and it will change later. ”
"Okay, pack up and go. ”
This Miao Baichuan's guest is named Liu Feng, he was taken in by Miao Baichuan when he was down, and accompanied Miao Baichuan and his son to the battlefield, and Miao Baichuan's eldest son Miao Huang was desperately rescued by him.
Miao Baichuan had the heart to let him be his housekeeper, but Liu Feng didn't agree, but his status in Miao Baichuan's family was not low, and Miao Huang had to respectfully call Uncle Liu when he saw him.
Although Liu Feng is still a guest of Miao Baichuan's house, he is like a free man, entering and leaving Miao Baichuan's house at will, and because of this, he is most familiar with Shangjing.
"Yuan Gongzi, Song Qi's mansion is in the south of the city, about thirty miles away from here, and I also know those four, as far as I know, his family is not in Song Qi's mansion, but in a separate courtyard, with Song Qi's clansmen. ”
"Then where is the other courtyard?"
Out of Miao Baichuan's house, walking on the street, Liu Feng introduced Zhang Xian.
"In the North Side. ”
"Damn, how can you get so far, one south and one north, it's not convenient. ”
"Nancheng is the residence of the side branch of the Song clan of the royal family, although Song Qi often says that he is not a side branch, and the king does not refute it, but it is a fact that he lives in Nancheng, it is nothing more than putting gold on his face, although he is strong, the king also needs to envelop him, so he gave him a separate courtyard in Beicheng. ”
"Isn't Beicheng a slum?"
"Isn't the northern city divided into two parts by the main road, the east is a slum, bordering the declining aristocracy, and the west is the side branch of the king's relatives, bordering the Wang's relatives, and Song Qi's courtyard is between the two districts. ”
The royal city is in the northwest of the center of the cross, the west wall is the king's relatives and relatives, the north is the king's relatives and relatives, the east is the royal family settlement, the south is not the royal side branch, that is, the ten major families and the ministers of the court and the central government, it is the most prosperous place, and the southeast of Miao Baichuan is more complicated, but the place is also very prosperous, most of the merchants, followed by the vassal family and some people who have some power and some financial resources.
The only one in the southern area is the western district, where is the Xiaojin Cave, a paradise for gentlemen.
Song Qi's villa is in the most prosperous area.
Outside the south wall of the Song Qi Courtyard, there is a small lake, this small lake was there when Shangjing City was not built here, but it was twice as large as it is now at that time, and now it is only three hundred steps wide and four or five miles long, but this small lake is connected to the moat outside the city, and the moat is connected to the Daling River, so this lake is living water.
The two sides of the small lake are full of green trees in spring, looming pavilions, there is also a pavilion in the middle of the small lake, there is a curved wooden bridge connecting the two banks, there are also many pleasure boats in the lake, it is a very good place to spend time.
But it's winter, and although the water in the lake hasn't thawed, no one wants to be late.
Especially after midnight, it is even more rare.
"If it was in early summer, Yanxia Lake would not be broken all night, but now there is not even a single figure. ”
Liu Feng also often comes here and is very familiar with this Yanxia Lake.
"This place is really good, Song Qi's courtyard is really a good place. ”
Zhang Xian could feel the liveliness of this Yanxia Lake 1 summer, and he was also very envious of Song Qi's excellent location.
"Huh. . . No one is nice. ”
In the middle of the night when the cold wind is howling, only sick people come here to play.
Before Zhang Xian's words fell, a cry for help suddenly came from the pavilion in the center of the lake.
"Well, what's going on?"
Zhang Xian and Liu Feng looked there.
"It's like someone has fallen overboard. ”
", it's suicide, it's still a young lady. ”
Zhang Xian's eyesight is good, he can see clearly, and a girl is holding on to the railing and shouting desperately.
Looming in the middle of the lake is a woman in brocade.
"Alas, if you don't save ten years of life when you die, damn it, I still want to live a long life. ”
Zhang Xian lamented, jumped into Yanxia Lake, Liu Feng was startled, but then he was stunned, Zhang Xian didn't want to go to winter swimming.
Zongyunbu is used to the limit, more than 100 steps and a few breaths are there, bending down and copying it with his hands, scooping up the woman who is struggling to surface, and jumping into the lake pavilion.
"What are you playing in the middle of the night?"
At this time, Liu Feng also ran over from the wooden bridge, he didn't have Zhang Xian's ability, and he walked on the waves.
"Isn't this the Lian'er girl of the Yu Bo family. ”
Liu Feng took the cotton robe handed to him by Zhang Xian, and wrapped Lian'er, who was shivering from the cold and still in a daze, this was a wide cotton robe was Uncle Tai's clothes, and the thin Lian'er was wrapped in the whole.
Yu Bo is one of the four people who have joined Miao Baichuan.
"You're always.?"
The little girl is very clever and bold, and when she saw that the young lady was rescued, it was no big deal, and she listened to the older people, as if she knew her own young lady, so she asked.
"I have a few acquaintances with Lian'er's father. ”
"Oh, thank you so much. ”
"Thank you, what's going on?"
Zhang Xian asked.
"Alas... ”
It turned out that Lian'er's father went out on a mission, and at this time, Song Qi's second son Song Tan suddenly came to the door and said to Lian'er's mother that he would give Lian'er to a young master of the Qian family as a concubine.
This happened suddenly, Lian'er's mother said that the head of the family was not there, and she would talk about it when he came back, but Song Tan said no, Yu Bo was a slave of their family, and the master was in charge of this matter.
This is not excessive, who made you someone else's house slave, Song Tan said to let Lian'er prepare, and he will have to send someone tomorrow.
After Song Tan left, Lian'er's mother didn't know what to do, so she asked Yu Bo's friends and family for help, and when her good sister heard it, she happened to know about it, and told her that Song Tan lost a bet with the son of the Qian family, and took Lian'er as a gambling debt.
Lian'er's mother was stupid when she heard it, the head of the house was not there, he was such a daughter, and was given away as a gambling debt by the master's family, which was too much, the head of the family worked hard for the Song family, and her daughter was given away as a gambling debt at home, although she was a slave of others, but this thing was too much, too impersonal.
After Lian'er knew about this, she suddenly fell into the abyss, crying to death, and in the second half of the night, while her family was not paying attention, she dressed neatly, and slipped out of the back corner door to prepare to escape, but she never left home, and she didn't know where to go, and found that there was a wooden bridge, so she walked up, and when she arrived at the Huxin Pavilion, she thought that she had no way out, and her heart was about to jump into the lake to commit suicide, and the little maid Ping'er, who had been secretly following, saw that Miss was looking for a short time, and she was in a hurry, so she quickly ran over to dissuade Miss, but she was a step late.
"Song Qi is not a good person, but he will not do such a thing, I think it is his second son who does not learn and has no skills, and spends all day drinking and doing all kinds of evil, no matter what, this is encountered, and it has to be managed. ”
Liu Feng knows the affairs of these aristocratic families, he can be regarded as taking refuge in the right master, Miao Baichuan treats the doorman like a friend, Song Qi is not a good person, but after all, he has an identity and is reserved, even if he treats his retainers like a slave, he will not treat their family too much, even if he wants to give Lian'er away, he will take a normal way, although it is also compulsive, but it is finally to give people affection.
"This girl must have suffered from the wind and cold, and she is wet, it will aggravate her condition here, Brother Liu, is there a place to place her temporarily?"
"Well, there is a shop of the Miao family near here, I'll send her there first. ”
"It's fine. ”
Liu Feng went to settle Yu Lian'er, and Ping'er wanted to follow.
"Ping'er, don't go yet. ”
"What are you going to do?"
The little girl clenched her little fists, stared at the big eyes, and looked at the black boy in front of her with a vigilant expression.
"You don't want to save Lian'er's mother. ”
"I think, the young lady is gone, and the second son will kill the housewife. ”
"That's it, I don't know where she is, you have to lead the way. ”
"Ah, yes, okay. ”
Less than two quarters of an hour later, Liu Feng hurried back.
"There's something we missed, even if we rescue them, how can we send them back to the house?"
Zhang Xian originally came to step on the point tonight and then find a way to save people, but what happened to Yu Lian'er, this matter of saving people had to be advanced, but here to Miao Baichuan's mansion, dozens of miles, how to bring the old and weak over?
"Haha. Yuan Yi Gongzi, this is what I just solved, the master's family has a big mansion near here, it has been empty, I just asked the manager of the shop, he said that the empty house, they just use the warehouse at the back, the main house has been empty, and the key to this big house is in his place. ”
"Okay, it's easy, Ping'er, and it's up to you to do the rest. ”
"No problem, yes!"
The little guy was so excited.
Song Qi's courtyard was not strictly guarded, and there were two teams of private soldiers patrolling the night, in this place, which thief dared to enter Song Qi's house.
Evaded the private soldiers patrolling the night and came to Yu Bo's house, Lian'er's mother didn't know that her daughter went to jump into the lake to find a short view, and was very unhappy when Lian'er called her, Zhang Xian showed her the token of Yu Bo and explained the situation.
"I'll contact you about this, but there are still a few families who are friendly with us, their heads are dead, and their sky has fallen, please take them away together, otherwise they will be sold as slaves by the second son." ”
"It's a bit tricky. ”
