The man walked to three meters in front of her and stood still, arched his hand, and smiled: "This brother is from the south?" ”

Liu Qin hurriedly returned the salute, and also learned his tone and replied: "Yes, I am from Wucheng, my surname is Xiao, and Brother Tai is older than me, so it is better to call me Brother Xiao." ”

"Wucheng? On this trip, I was going to Wucheng, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Xiao so coincidentally. The man smiled warmly, "My surname is Liu, my name is Rui, and I am from Yangcheng." ”

Yangcheng was the imperial capital of the Han Kingdom.

"Alas, what a coincidence, I don't know if Brother Liu came to Wucheng to visit relatives and friends, or for business?"

"It's a friend visit."

"Is it the first time for Brother Liu to come to our Wucheng?"

"No, I passed by once eight years ago."

When Liu Rui said this, a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes, as if he remembered something.

"Has Brother Xiao ever been to Yangcheng?"

"No, my mother didn't allow me to run too far, and I sneaked out this time."

"Haha, Brother Xiao is so interesting, I saw that Brother Xiao was very kind, and I thought I had seen it."

"Really? I also think that Brother Liu is very familiar and familiar, it seems that the two of us are really fateful. ”

"Hahaha, this fate is not shallow."

For some reason, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and they had a feeling of hating each other.

"Brother Xiao, where are you going?"

"We're going to Happy Village, not far ahead."

"Happy Village?" A man beside Liu Rui asked, "But is that happy village in Xiaoyao Valley?" ”

"Yes, this big brother, you also know Xiaoyao Valley?" Unexpectedly, even the guest officers from the north knew about their Loose Valley. Liu Qin was a little fluttering.

"Although Xiaoyao Valley Happy Village is not as good as those Jianghu families, it has been in the limelight in the Jiangnan area recently, and the people in the Jianghu have great respect for them. It is rumored that the lord of the valley is a truly good person, not only sheltering the widows and widows, the old and weak, women and children, but also the people in the valley are all chivalrous and righteous things in the layman, and they are very admired when they learn about it by chance. ”

Liu Qin blushed a little when she praised this, although she had done some good deeds, she didn't expect her reputation to spread so loudly. Brother Lei, they are really good, and it has only been a year or two to set up Xiaoyao Valley on the rivers and lakes.

But you still have to be humble, after all, humility is a virtue. "Hehe, how can it be as good as this big brother said, it's just a false name."

Liu Rui's eyes were full of brilliance, and he said with a smile: "My subordinate is the most stable. Never praise for no reason. I didn't expect Brother Xiao to be a person from Xiaoyao Valley, and seeing Brother Xiao's demeanor made me even more curious about Xiaoyao Valley, I don't know what kind of magnificent men they are? ”

"Brother Liu, do you want to go? If you can trust me, brother, how about staying with me for a few days, and then returning to Wucheng with me? ”

Liu Rui thought for a moment, "Okay, there is plenty of time." I just need to be there by the eighth day of April. ”

Isn't that the eighth day of the fourth month the day of my own time? How could it be so coincidental?

"Don't worry. Brother Liu, I also have to rush back before the eighth day of the new year, and I won't miss your business. ”

After the two said yes, they ate a little dry food by the lake, and then prepared to get up and hurry.

Liu Rui called the person who spoke just now aside, and after giving the order, their people were divided into two groups, and the four of them drove the carriage to continue south, going to Wucheng, and the four followed Liu Rui and went to Happy Village with Liu Rui.

Here, Chang'an pulled Liu Qin aside, and said a little worriedly: "Childe, I don't know where these people came from, will it be ...... if you rashly invite them to go?"

Although he didn't finish speaking, the meaning in his words was naturally that he was worried that they would be unfavorable to Zhuangzi.

Liu Qin knew that Chang'an had always been steady and cautious, but in fact, she couldn't tell why she trusted people for the first time so much, but this sense of familiarity and trust came out of her heart, and she believed in this intuition.

So he patted Chang'an's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, your son's eyes are not vegetarian, and he won't be mistaken." ”

Chang Kang next to him said in surprise: "Childe's words are strange, right, his eyes can't eat, and he can still divide meat and vegetables?" ”

Liu Qin rolled his eyes, "Did I talk about eating?" ”

"That's right, if one day the son really goes vegetarian, it's even stranger."

"You ......"

Where is this, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, why did I eat meat and eat vegetarian, what does Changkang mean, are you laughing at me for gaining weight again?

Liu Qin looked at Changkang angrily, "You, you are not allowed to eat tonight." ”

"Why, I didn't say anything, childe......"

"Hmph."

As soon as he turned around, he didn't know when Liu Rui was standing behind him, looking at her with a smile, Liu Qin blushed a little, blaming Changkang for letting her not stabilize for a while, and she broke her work.

Quickly changed the topic, "Brother Liu, are you ready?" ”

"Well, it's arranged." Liu Rui's smile was brighter than the sunshine in the sky, "Brother Xiao is so funny." ”

Oh, this is the second time I've said it's funny, probably saying I'm childish, Liu Qin understands it so.

Lan Ke and Qiu Xun walked to Liu Qin's side when they set off, and their abnormal beauty shocked the group of people behind Liu Rui, but Liu Rui's gaze flashed, and he didn't pay too much attention to the two of them.

Don't look at incivility, he is really a humble gentleman.

Liu Qin was even more satisfied.

A group of ten people continued to the north, walked for a short time, and then turned to the southeast, quickly horseback and whipped, about two hours or so, and finally arrived at Suifeng Town.

Suifeng Town is a relatively quaint town, a long bluestone street runs through the east and west, most of the scattered houses on the side of the street are relatively old, the earthen walls are crawling with green vines, and the stone cracks and wall brick cracks are also covered with yellow-green moss, quiet and heavy is a little bit of vicissitudes.

Suifeng Town was not originally called Suifeng Town, only because a poet of the former dynasty stayed here and wrote a popular poem, which has the word "Suifeng", it was changed to Suifeng Town.

Liu Qin walked slowly while telling Liu Rui the origin of Suifeng Town.

The two men walked side by side, and the horseshoe stepped onto the only street in town.

"Childe."

"Childe is here."

"Childe, I haven't seen you for a long time."

……

When the people on the street saw Liu Qin and his party, they all greeted Liu Qin one after another, saluted, and spoke in an intimate tone and a respectful attitude.

Liu Qin also immediately clenched his fists and saluted back, "Uncle Zhang is good." ”

"Aunt Zheng, is Uncle Zheng's leg sharp?"

"Aunt Liu......"

Liu Rui smiled at Liu Qin and the villagers in a town, and for some reason, that familiar feeling came to his heart again, and such a kind smile seemed to have been seen somewhere.

Where?

In a trance, Liu Qin had already turned over and dismounted, bowing to a pair of white-haired old men on the street, "Uncle, uncle, how are you doing?" ”

"Okay, when the old man heard that Gongzi was coming, he couldn't sit still for a moment, so he wanted to see it with his own eyes." The old woman who spoke, though her hair was gray, was in good spirits and spoke with ease.

"Uncle and uncle, please go over and sit down."

"Okay, Childe will go first, and we'll go back."

Only then did Liu Qin walk back to Liu Rui's side and tell Liu Rui that the old man just now was the old patriarch of Suifeng Town.

"Do you know why I'm so popular?" Liu Qin blinked, "Back then, Suifeng Town was a very barren place, we bought a large piece of wasteland outside the town and built Happy Village, which not only provided free education for the school-age children in the town, but also cultivated the fields and hired the people in the town to work.
