After the old lady finished speaking, Mama Zhao led six women who were in their prime years in.

Six people lined up in turn, two or eight beauties, ring fat and thin, gorgeous and pure, everything.

Du Xiaoxi couldn't help but take a look, they are all acquaintances!

Wealthy families who are not rich in children like to buy some little ladies who are good at raising their families to raise their sons and daughters in the future to be concubines and spread out the leaves, these little ladies have been raised in the house since childhood, and even the biological parents do not know who they are, and when they grow up, they are also dedicated to the house will not appear biased towards the mother's family.

The Liu family began to buy people after Liu Yao was born, and when Du Xiaoxi was born, he was also approached by Mama Zhao because of the nine brothers above, and now these six little ladies in front of him are all young ladies who can give birth to and raise people who have been bought one after another.

Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao also saw these people when they went to live in Liu's house after they got married, but not in their current status, but the maid next to the little lady in the house, or the person who served in the old lady's yard, but I didn't expect that after so many years, the old lady still planned to make the best use of things, or was ready to keep people for her grandson.

Although the eldest aunt of the Liu family was surprised that her mother-in-law stuffed so many people into her nephew so silently, she had experienced this kind of thing back then, and she had long been used to carrying people to the house every year in order for her husband to have a son, and she looked up at the six people and then at Du Xiaoxi, who had a stiff face, and lowered her head meekly.

The uncle of the Liu family looked at the little couple with a blank face, and then looked at the mother who was still pointing to the six little girls one by one, sighed and said hurriedly: "Mother, you take a sip of soup and rest first, they are still young, so they are not in a hurry." ”

The old lady was upset. Seeing Du Xiaoxi sitting and not expressing his position, he slapped the table angrily and roared angrily: "Are you still young? Where is it small? The good grandchildren are in their twenties, and you have seven or eight daughters at this age! She has been married for more than half a year, and there is no movement in her stomach at all! Can the old woman not be in a hurry? Your mother and I are almost eighty years old, how many days can we live? Do you want me to be as dead as your father! Can't even see your great-grandchildren before you die? ”

Mentioning his father's regret before his death was the most difficult thing for Liu Ziping to face, his throat squirmed twice, and he left with a white face.

The old lady's main target now is her grandson and great-grandson, and she didn't care when she saw her son gone, and then said to her grandson: "Good grandson, do you like it?" If you don't like it, change it, we have more than 100 at home, and we will bring it over another day to pick it slowly. ”

Du Xiaoxi straightened his sleeves and stood up to the three people on the table: "I'm done, go down first." ”

The old lady watched Du Xiaoxi turn around and leave neatly, and the conversation began to change. "Good grandson. Look at her attitude! If your stomach is not angry, you will be angry with my wife! ”

Liu Yao saw Du Xiaoxi leaving, and also stood up and said, "There is still something in the yamen, let's go back first." The words fell, and Du Xiaoxi, who was walking towards their house, pulled people towards the gate and prepared to return to Hongxing County.

"Go home!" Liu Yao bowed his head and said hello to Du Xiaoxi, and beckoned He Yang to drive the carriage to the door.

Before the old lady in the house could react, the two left on the spot, and said angrily to the eldest lady who was sitting next to her with her head bowed: "Look, it's only been half a year since I got married." Before my son was born, he dared to throw his face at my wife! ”

The old lady did not wait for the eldest lady to answer after speaking. Directly stood up and ran out, shouting: "Good grandson! Good grandson! You haven't eaten yet. You can't go hungry! ”

When the old lady held Mama Zhao's hand and chased it out, she saw her grandson's carriage leave, and shouted twice that no one answered, so she scolded Du Xiaoxi as a dog.

"Hi sister, rest assured. We don't want anyone else, just the two of us together. Liu Yao hugged Du Xiaoxi and said firmly.

Du Xiaoxi pulled the corners of his mouth, looked straight at Liu Yao's dark eyes, and hummed: "Let's say before we get married, if you want to find a small one, let's just shoot it and scatter, and if I leave you, I will go to the master's temple to be a layman, and make a wish every day in front of the Buddha that your family will not give birth to a son!" ”

Liu Yao laughed sullenly, rubbed Du Xiaoxi's head helplessly, and said, "Okay!" Then he said: "When the time comes, I will also go to the master's temple, you make a wish, I will listen." ”

"Haha......" Du Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing, "You're so funny!" ”

The two laughed and laughed all the way, and soon forgot about the unhappiness that happened in the Liu Mansion.

The carriage walked to the vicinity of the city gate, and Liu Yao said to He Yang, who was driving: "Stop, let's go eat something!" ”

He Yang responded and hurriedly parked the carriage to the side and waited for the two people in the carriage to get down. Just now he was eating when the young master called out, and when he was waiting to return to the mansion, he would definitely be hungry. It's nice to be able to keep eating!

There are a lot of food sellers on the streets near the city gate, and now it's lunch time, and the rest is mostly all kinds of food stalls. Liu Yao helped Du Xiaoxi get out of the car, and the two of them didn't plan to go to the store to eat, so they walked slowly along the street, and if they thought it was delicious, they would buy one and try it.

"This is delicious, would you like to try it?" Liu Yao stretched out the mutton skewer to Du Xiaoxi's mouth and motioned for her to take a bite. Du Xiaoxi opened his mouth and bit down on a piece, chewed it, nodded contentedly, and said, "It's more spicy, it's more delicious!" ”

The winter in the north is very cold, and only one season of grain can be harvested a year, many people raise sheep and horses, and the people here also love to eat hot mutton.

Du Xiaoxi thought it was delicious, and the two sat on the small table and ate a plate, and then waited for He Yang to pack some more for Aunt Xiaorou and Uncle Tang to bring back.

"Ahh There was an exclamation in the distance, followed by the sound of Lala packing up.

Du Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, and secretly said in his heart that the ancient city management was also so bullish.

"Fuck off! Get out of the way! ”

There was a laughing shouting in the distance, followed by the loud sound of horses' hooves and whips soon approaching.

Liu Yao hurriedly pulled Du Xiaoxi to stand up, and guarded the people to the root of the wall, and just stood still, he saw two teenagers riding horses, and you chased after me, and the fast horses galloped away.

The two of them frowned in unison, and the people on the street were accustomed to tidying up their things and then selling them.

"Smack!" The sound of the whip flicking, followed by a woman's scream, and the people who had just recovered rushed to both sides of the road like rats and cats.

Liu Yao didn't dare to hold it up, so he stood back at the base of the wall with Du Xiaoxi, and soon a group of young men and women in gorgeous horseback costumes walked slowly from the direction of the city gate. They occasionally swung their whips in either direction, regardless of whether they hurt anyone or not.

"Tanhualang!" With a delicate exclamation, one person and one horse soon left the team and walked in the direction of the two.

Liu Yao and Du Xiaoxi raised their heads in unison, and their brows were furrowed.

What a way to go!

It was the lady of Zhao Guogong who was kicked away by Du Xiaoxi when he left Beijing and went home. However, what the hell is the other party's reddish and shy expression?

Zhao Wen'er and her companions laughed, casually glanced at the untouchables standing on the side of the street, and saw a bright light in the eyes of the Qingjun man standing on the side of the road.

It's him! The lover who has haunted her for many years!

fell in love at first sight, and when they said goodbye, the other party was already a tanhualang from the famous town of Kyoto. Since Zhao Wen'er let King An go away to the border because of marriage, the queen mother in the palace is extremely displeased with her, and even her aunt often summons her into the palace.

Last year, when Liu Langjun was exploring flowers and crossing the street, Zhao Wen'er, who had just come out of confinement, begged her father to go to his house to propose marriage. The father said that he already had a fiancée in the family. Then he locked her up again, and when she was released, she heard that Tanhualang had returned to her hometown.

Zhao Wen'er originally thought that it would be rare to see her again in this life, but she didn't expect Liu Langjun to be in Kyoto.

"Liu Langjun, do you remember me?" Zhao Wen'er turned over handsomely and dismounted, hung her head slightly, and whispered shyly.

"Ahem!" Du Xiaoxi deliberately coughed lightly twice to remind a nymphomaniac. There's a big living person standing here.

"What's wrong. Throat discomfort? Isn't it just spicy? Liu Yao heard Du Xiaoxi coughing, and he didn't even look at the little lady in front of him. looked at Du Xiaoxi worriedly, hurriedly beckoned the stall owner to pour a cup of tea, and blew it to feed Du Xiaoxi.

Zhao Wen'er saw that Liu Yao ignored him. When he raised his eyes, he was immediately annoyed when he saw Liu Yao offering great hospitality to a little lady, and asked angrily, "Who is she?" ”

Du Xiaoxi moved back, dodged the horsewhip that was about to reach her face, and greeted Zhao Wen'er with a smile, "Long time no see!" Zhao Niangzi! ”

"Who are you?" Zhao Wen'er glared angrily.

Du Xiaoxi leaned into Liu Yao's arms with a smile, and said suspiciously: "Zhao Niangzi forgot, you still sang and sent me when you went out of Beijing that year, 'Du Shi Niang angrily sank the treasure chest', but unfortunately I sank myself in the end!" ”

Mentioning this, Zhao Wen'er finally remembered who the person in front of her was, looked at the posture of the two of them leaning against each other, and asked loudly in disbelief: "What is your relationship?" ”

Du Xiaoxi held Liu Yao's hand on her waist with one hand, and replied with a smile: "This is my father-in-law!" ”

Liu Xianggong was very powerful, bowed his head and whispered softly in Du Xiaoxi's ear: "Lady, it's time for us to go home." ”

Du Xiaoxi waved his hand at Zhao Wen'er, who was still in a state of shock, "Zhao Niangzi is destined to see you again~"

The two got into the carriage one after the other, and He Yang put a large bag of mutton skewers on the side of the car door, shouted and waved the horsewhip and walked in the direction of the city gate.

After a long while, Zhao Wen'er reacted, looking at the carriage with only a small point left in the distance, stamping her feet and turning over on the horse.

How can such a vulgar, faceless, skinless, and good-looking woman match Liu Langjun, she wants to talk to her mother when she goes home.

After getting into the car, Du Xiaoxi sat farther up and down, looked at Liu Yao back and forth, and asked puzzledly: "Why is Zhao Niangzi so obsessed with you?" Every time I ignore such a big living person. ”

Liu Yao moved his ass to sit next to Du Xiaoxi, and said lightly: "Sick!" ”

Du Xiaoxi nodded in agreement, "Brother Xiaotu is good-looking, but she is still moving forward when you are married, she is really sick!" ”

The two decided that Zhao Guogong's wife was sick, and turned to talk about the affairs in the county government.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and there is silence in Chief Liu's house.

Since the old lady wanted to add some people to serve the young master, and the husband and wife left on the spot, the young master Mu Xiu has not come back twice in the past half a month on the grounds that he has something to do in the yamen.

The old lady was so angry that she had broken several sets of cups, if it weren't for the old man, she would have gone to Hongxing County to find someone.

Du Xiaoxi felt that the old lady of Xianggong's family had simply gotten the skill of changing her face, and she would not be good to you for a while, and she would be able to poke people's hearts in a while.

Such a difficult old lady, Du Xiaoxi said that she would not serve anymore!

When Mu Xiu, Du Xiaoxi hummed and lay on the bed, indicating that she was not feeling well and did not go to Liufu, Liu Yao also lay down and said to He Yang, there are many things in the yamen, and I will not go today, so the husband and wife are lying on the bed, you and I are nong, He Yang braved the storm in Liufu and notified the young master and grandmother at home not to go.

This time, Mu Xiudu's little joy disappeared, saying that he could go, Liu Yao waved his hand to signal that there was really something in the yamen and left.

Liu Yao is really something.

Most of the people under the rule of Hongxing County are under the control of their masters, and Liu Yao, the county commander, is mainly in charge of Dongyuan's affairs.

The earth is rejuvenated, all kinds of flowers and trees sprout green, and the East Garden, which has been silent for several months, is lively again.

The winter in the north is very cold, and the varieties of flowers and trees that can withstand the whole winter without being frozen to death are limited, and many flowers and trees in the East Garden are re-added every spring, so that the flowers can bloom and bloom for so many years.

Liu Yao is the county magistrate of Hongxing County, although Dongyuan is directly under the household department and not under the overall management of Hongxing County, but now the matter of reorganizing Dongyuan still has to go through his hands.

After a cold winter, the flowers and trees that froze to death had to be cleaned up, and the deformed ones that had been pressed by the heavy snow had to be reshaped.

There are a lot of florists in Dongyuan, and Liu Yao doesn't need to do it, just stop and check whether everything is cleaned up every day.

After disposing of the dead and damaged flowers and trees, it is necessary to contact the flower and plant merchant who supplied the flowers and plants to come and replenish the stock. And these things that have been going on for many years naturally have conventions.

Liao Liao, the county in the yamen, praised and smiled and took out the roster of previous suppliers to Liu Yao, and Liu Yao couldn't help frowning when he looked at the previous transaction prices above.

Du Xiaoxi likes to put some flowers and plants in the house, and Liu Yao occasionally accompanies him to buy some, although he can't name them, but the price on the booklet is obviously more than two percent higher.

The purchase of large quantities of perennial stable dìng, obviously the price should be lower than the market, why is it higher?

Liu Yao was puzzled, and modestly asked Uncle Tang, the master of the Liu family, who was specially found for him, for advice, and then he knew that the Hongxing County Yamen could not work in vain after a hand, and he also asked for silver.

Uncle Tang meant that it would be done according to the usual practice, Liu Yao hesitated and went to find the uncle again and again, and then decided to come at the previous price.

Batches of flowers and trees were transported into the East Garden, and the vacant places were filled, and the next planted was planted, and the cuttings were skept, and many flowers were opened in the wind.

In the spring light, Dongyuan slowly bloomed his beauty.

It was already a month later to tidy up Dongyuan, and after the colleagues celebrated this day, Liu Yao returned home in a trance with the silver ticket he shared.

Uncle Tang said that the previous county orders were all done like this, and we just followed it, so we don't have to offend people to block ourselves. Uncle said that the water is clear and there are no fish, there is no absolute good or bad in officialdom, and he must learn to get out of his own way.

Liu Yao lowered his head and touched the box with the silver ticket in his arms, not knowing if this was the career he wanted.
