"What did you say?" Mother Qian stood up in shock, and said with a pale face: "No, I don't agree." ”

Xiao Liuzi helped Qian's mother sit down, "Mom, don't worry, I'm just going to do business, and I won't cause anything." ”

"Little Liuzi, even if your mother begs you, is it okay to cancel this idea? You want to go out, wherever you want, as long as it's not the Imperial City, huh? ”

Xiao Liuzi couldn't bear to look at Qian's mother's pleading, and turned her face away, "Mom, I really want to go back and see, after all, that's where I was born, isn't it?" My roots are there. ”

Mother Qian's tears flowed silently, Xiao Liuzi was almost brought up by her, she knows best what his temperament is, if she doesn't speak, if she does, I'm afraid it will be impossible to turn back.

"Then I'll go and prepare, when to leave, let's go together."

"No, Mom, this time you stay, Xiaoyue and I just go to the Imperial City, we are brothers and sisters, no one will doubt it, you must have stayed in the Imperial City for so long, there are many people who know each other, you can't go with me."

Mother Qian looked at Xiao Liuzi in disbelief, her lips trembled, "Little ...... Small...... Master, don't you want me? ”

Xiao Liuzi said anxiously: "What did my mother say, didn't she use a knife to smash Liu'er's heart?" I didn't let you go over because I was worried that my mother's identity would be exposed. Didn't Mama Rong say that Liu'er looks like her mother, and few people in the imperial city have seen it, even if they have seen it, they can't think of it, so it's really okay for me to go to the imperial city, and when I stay there enough, I will come back, after all, I must be used to being here. ”

"But ......, how can I rest assured that you are going alone?"

"Where am I going alone, Xiaoyue and I will also go to Zhaocai Jinbao, and my mother will choose a few maids for Xiaoyue to take when she arrives, so it's not enough."

Mother Qian suddenly asked, "Xiaoyue is also going to the Imperial City?" ”

"It's Xiao Yue...... Xiao Liuzi looked up suddenly, "Mom? ”

Mother Qian laughed miserably, "I knew it would be like this, you have been well-behaved since you were a child, and you have never mentioned the word imperial city, where is your sad place, it is your mother's burial grave, why do you want to go there?" If I knew this, I shouldn't have helped that girl in the first place, no matter where she was sold, I wouldn't let you take this risk. Mom, I really regret it......" I couldn't stop crying.

"Mom, don't be like this, it's really not Xiaoyue's problem, I haven't mentioned it before, it's not that I don't want to go back, as long as I'm afraid that you will worry, I don't want your sacrifice to be in vain, but I'll be a little sixth son in this town for a lifetime, do you think it's really good? Does my mother really want to see me like this? My mother was attached to the Imperial City and would not leave until she died; It was my birthplace, and I only knew Qinghua Town for as long as I could remember, and the Imperial City had never appeared in my mind, so I didn't know what kind of city it was. There is a poignant love for my parents, but their son has never taken a good look, Mom, how willing do you tell me to be? ”

Mother Qian helped Xiao Liuzi wipe the tears on her face with tears in her eyes, and said distressedly: "Okay, mom won't stop it, you can go if you want, I won't let you go, don't look like this, mom looks so heartbroken." ”

After speaking, he helped Xiao Liuzi and said seriously: "Liu'er, you want to go to the imperial city, my mother doesn't dare to stop it, and I can't stop it, but you have to promise my mother that your identity can't be exposed, and no one can say it, not even Xiaoyue, you know?" Also, you are not allowed to go to your mother's burial place, let alone see your father, and your mother wants you to swear by Xiaoyue. ”

Xiao Liuzi was shocked: "Mom? ”

"Swear by Satsuki and don't go to see your parents." Mother Qian stared at Xiao Liuzi's eyes seriously and did not give in.

Xiao Liuzi nodded heavily, "Okay, I swear that I will never visit my parents and never mention my background to anyone." ”

Mother Qian hugged Xiao Liuzi and cried, she didn't want to force Liu'er like this, but she couldn't follow him to serve in the future, so what else could he scruple about? She can't think of any other way than Xiaoyue, so, Liu'er, forgive Mom, I just want you to live well, well.

Two days later, Xiao Liuzi took Xiao Yue with him when he went to the Qian Mansion again, Xiao Yue didn't expect that Xiao Liuzi would really agree to go to the imperial city with her, after all, it takes a lot of courage to go to a strange place and start over. However, Xiao Liuzi was of course very happy to be able to follow Xiao Yue, so today I brought a gift to explain to Mother Qian.

It wasn't until Qian Zhai that I knew that Mother Qian had been sick for two days, looking at Mother Qian who was lying on the bed with a yellow face, Xiaoyue hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and held Mother Qian's hand, "Mother Qian, what's wrong with you?" Do you have a doctor? ”

Mother Qian patted Xiaoyue's hand and said weakly: "It's nothing, it's just that I caught a cold when I blew an idea a little bit ago, and the doctor came to see it and prescribed medicine." Why are you here today? How is business doing in the store? ”

"It's all right. We had something to tell you, but we don't rush it, and it's the same next time. Xiao Yue couldn't open her mouth when she looked at Mother Qian's appearance.

Mother Qian stood up, Xiao Yue hurriedly helped put a pillow under her, Mother Qian pulled the quilt, "Say, what is the reason to come to me to say?" I'm just a little bit cold and out of the way. ”

Yan Xiaoyue saw Mother Qian's insistence, so she said, "Mother Qian, Brother Xiaoliuzi and I want to go out to have a look, will you go with us?" ”

Mother Qian smiled, "When you are older, it's good that you want to go out and see it, so my old woman won't follow." Have you figured out where you're going? ”

"Think about it, let's go to the Imperial City, which is the most prosperous place in our Great Zhou Dynasty, so we have to go and see it."

"Okay, let's go if you think about it, I have a few girls here, you can take it with you."

After speaking, people were taken into the house, and four girls in green cloth skirts stood in a row, and saluted in unison: "I've seen Mother Qian!" ”

"Get up, this one next to you is your future master, have you seen Miss Young Master."

The four girls saluted Xiao Liuzi and Xiao Yue again: "I've seen the young master!" I've seen Miss! ”

Yan Xiaoyue had never seen this battle, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Liuzi at a loss, Xiao Liuzi smiled slightly, "Let's get up, you introduce yourself to Miss first." ”

The tallest one on the right spoke first, "Slave Jin Hui, ten years old this year, has been following her mother for four years, she will be a girl, watch the accounts, and learn to be a housekeeper for a year." "Jin Hui's skin is a little dark, with a round face, single eyelids, and although she looks ordinary, she looks quite calm.

The second white and pure girl said softly: "Slave maid Jin Ling, nine years old this year, almost four years with her mother, can do cooking and pharmacology. ”

The third has a little baby fat on his face, and his big eyes look innocent, "Slave maid Jin Xiu, nine years old this year, with her mother for three years, will be red and comb her hair." ”

The one on the far left is the smallest, with his head hanging slightly, looking inconspicuous, "The slave Jin Qiao is eight years old this year, has been with her mother for two years, and knows a little martial arts." ”
