Chapter 162: Recent Situation in the Southwest Territory
"Not a lot," I asked, glancing sideways at her, still staring at me.
"A lot, okay." I curled my finger and tapped her on the forehead, and my tone was playful, "Just because of the large number, I have some concerns." ”
"It's not good to be the master on your own, maybe it's my master's hard-earned money begging for food, so it's best to discuss it with my master or senior brother before taking it."
Begging? When Cui'er heard this word, she looked at me a little stunned: "Girl, what are you talking about?" Did the slave mishear? ”
I didn't bother to explain it to her in detail, so I changed the subject directly.
"Cui'er, I didn't expect it, this is a lot of money, such a large amount, they just replied to me that it would be ready in a few days."
"It's only been a few days, such a large sum of silver."
"It can't affect the entry and exit of the daily operation of the bank."
"That's a lot of money."
I said with some interest: "It seems that the head of the Liu family is a huge rich master." ”
I turned my head to look at Cui'er, and said with a bit of teasing: "If any of you fall in love with the head of the Liu family, will you get rich overnight?" ”
Cui'er said with a little horror in her eyes: "What is the girl thinking, if the Lord knows what you are talking about now, I am afraid it will be ......."
"What are you afraid of, I'm just joking, besides, the head of the Liu family, that's not ...... Ordinary people. I swallowed the next half of the sentence, "She's a woman," and didn't say it.
Lifting the curtain of the car, I beckoned to the guy who was driving the car and said, "Hurry up." Hurry back to the garden. ”
"Okay." Crisp responded, and the horse's hooves under him walked more urgently.
The head of the Liu family, he wants to be close to others, and he is not someone else.
I smiled to myself and stopped talking.
When I returned to the garden, the steward was waiting for me outside the Pavilion with his hands in hand. See me and Cui'er walking towards me. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"Miss Xiaoling, you're back, the girl you brought back earlier has woken up and wants to see you if it's convenient." The way of stewardship.
"That's right," I hesitated, glancing at myself and Cui'er. "It's not inconvenient, it's just that it's not too late to wait for a while, when we go to change our outfits, and then go and see her." “
Approaching the two rooms in the backyard, I stood by the flowers outside the house and asked Cui'er to go in and speak.
Less. Cui'er ran out in small steps and said, "Girl." Go in, I'm awake, let me ask you. “
I walked up a few steps, paused for a moment under the porch, and walked in.
There was also a strong smell of herbs in the room.
It's the prescription I prescribed, so naturally I know which herbs it is.
I can hear me coming in. Jinhua, who was leaning against the head of the bed, had already tried to stand up and turn his head to my side.
Wen Zong beside her, the second stunned man hurriedly supported her, turned her head and followed to look at us.
"Miss Lin. Thank you for taking us in. Jinhua's complexion looked a little better.
I took a few steps closer, and the man named Wen Zong looked at me a little blankly for a few seconds, his lips curling and he didn't know what to say.
I ignored the man completely, approached the bed, and grabbed Jinhua's wrist.
After a while, I let go and smiled at her, "It's much better, you fainted in the carriage just now because you were nervous and not resting well." “
"You can rest assured that you can stay here and recuperate for a while, and your body will slowly recover."
"I'm very safe here, let alone the people chasing you, even the government can't manage this garden, you can rest assured." I'm confident enough to stress it again.
Jinhua's eyes showed a deep sense of gratitude, and she pushed the stunned man next to her and said, "Wenzong, I can't get up, why don't you hurry up and thank Miss Lin for me." “
I pushed away Wen Zong, who was about to kneel down with me, and said to Jinhua: "There are some things I want to say to you alone, can you let him go out first." “
Wen Zongpestle was there, hesitating whether to leave, I smiled and said, "Before, on the street, I was wearing men's clothes, and it makes sense that you are not at ease, but now there is nothing to worry about." ”
"I really want to hurt your sweetheart, and I still have to work so hard to get people to grab medicine for her?"
Seeing that the two of them had retreated, only Jinhua and me, who were leaning on the head of the bed, were left in the room.
I looked at her and smiled, and opened my mouth first: "Sister Jinhua, do you have something to tell me?" ”
She smiled softly at me and whispered, "You're so good, I was thinking about how to open my mouth to get them to avoid it, but you took the lead." ”
I smiled and said, "Actually, I lied to you on the street before, my name is Xiaoling, the water chestnut Ling." “
"I thought your surname was Lin." Jinhua smiled, "To be honest, Wenzong and I escaped from the southwest. “
"I know that when I saw your carriage on the street, Cui'er told me about it, and I also noticed that this carriage is different from the carriages passing along the road in Qibei and even Huguo."
"I've guessed you're from out of town."
"Carriage?" Jinhua's black and white eyes looked at me gently, and said, "Yes, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to change the decoration of the carriage, but I let you see through it at a glance." “
"Sister Jinhua, you are from the southwest, do you know that there is a person named Snow Eagle in that area?" I was silent for a moment and then asked suddenly.
Jinhua raised his head and looked at me with wide eyes and said, "General Snow Eagle, do you know him?" “
Great, that's the point!
I was happy in my heart, and nodded: "I do know, he is an old acquaintance with me." “
"General Snow Eagle is now the lord of several small cities in the southwest, he led an army to guard that area, and after becoming the lord of the city, he not only maintained law and order over there, but also handled disputes for the local people." Jinhua Road.
"He, the city lord, is doing his job very conscientiously, I don't know if the local people are convinced?" I asked with a smile.
"Naturally, he is obedient, General Snow Eagle is a decent person, and he has always handled the affairs of the city impartially."
"That place in the southwest was not as peaceful as it is now, there was everything, but in the past few years since he came, it has completely changed."
"It's completely new."
"His subordinates not only solve problems for the common people, but also plan to build fortifications and water conservancy.
Listening to Jinhua's narration, I seemed to see the look of the young general under my father in the court in the past, and I couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Speaking of which, I have a question, Sister Xiaoling, are you convenient to sue me?" Jinhua showed a little curiosity, looked at me and asked, "General Snow Eagle is young and promising, and the rich merchants in the city once intended to marry their daughters to him, even ......"
She hesitated suddenly, and her words were interrupted for a few seconds.
"But I heard that he had a fiancée, so he refused."
"I see your age, a few years younger than him, and you say it's an old acquaintance, could it be ......" Jinhua asked.
"Ahh I opened my mouth wide and was stunned, and immediately laughed and said, "No, no, of course I'm not his fiancée, General Snow Eagle is my father's old ...... Friend, he once taught me schoolwork, and he was an enlightenment teacher. ”
"He's my teacher."
"Sister Jinhua, you're mistaken." My head shook like a rattle, and I secretly said in my heart, why haven't I heard my father say that he has a fiancée.
Besides, there is no longer zài in Snow Country, so his fiancée ......
Or, it was he who used it to reject the intentions of those wealthy businessmen in the southwest, and specially found an excuse, what kind of fiancée, it should be unnecessary.
Thinking of this, I pressed the question in my heart and said to Jinhua: "Hearing you say this, it seems that you know General Snow Eagle very well, do you know him?" ”
"Fang is what I am abrupt," Jinhua said apologetically, "I didn't know it was such a relationship, I thought it was ......"
"You're right, Wen Zong and I were able to escape from the southwest along the way, thanks to him helping us." Jinhua Road.
"In this way, it can be regarded as acquaintance."
"As for his deeds, walking on the streets in the southwest and asking random people to ask, you know it, you can also hear it, he is very authoritative and influential over there." Jinhua said with some appreciation.
I moved a chair in the room and simply sat down next to Jinhua, I looked at her with burning eyes and said, "Now, can my sister tell me why you and that person named Wenzong fled here from the southwest?" “
"As you said just now, the southwest is now under the rule of General Snow Eagle, the people are very good, and the people live in peace, so in such a place, what do you have to do to flee all the way to Qibei?"
"Tell me, if I can help you, I'll do my best." I laughed.
…… In the courtyard, Wen Zong was walking around the flowers, and was about to break off a flower branch, when Cui'er, who was standing next to him, cried out.
"Hey, I said you're a person, what are you doing going around here, our girl is just talking to her, is it necessary to look so nervous."
"Okay, what are you doing with the laurel branch?" Cui'er grinned.
Wenzong glanced at Cui'er with some embarrassment, he was not a particularly good talker, and asked with a red face: "That girl of yours, why is it a man and a woman for a while, just now, I didn't recognize it." “
Cui'er glanced at him, glanced at the side of the room, and said, "What do you mean to wear men's clothes for a while and women's clothes for a while, you also said that it was a girl, what are you worried about, and it's not a man chatting with her." ”
"Men's clothing is because it is easier to go out to do errands, count your luck, my girl is difficult to go out, if you don't go out today, I can't save you."
Wen Zong's eyes still kept looking in the direction of the room, and he said in a low voice: "What is the important thing that you have to avoid me." ”
"It's me, and I'm avoiding you, you're too annoying." Cui'er laughed.
