Ling'er stayed in the courtyard of Liao's house for five days and had a general understanding of the situation in Xiangping City.

Xiangping City is actually not small, bigger than Cangping County, here has always been the traffic artery between the North Barbarian and the Central Plains, and it is also the main trade road, before the war, there are often caravans of the North Barbarians leading cattle, sheep and horses, with a large amount of gold and silver to trade.

It's a pity that as soon as the war came, Xiangping City became a battleground for soldiers, the two sides fought over, sometimes you occupy the city and sometimes I make it bigger, fortunately, they have an unwritten rule, no matter who occupies this city, they can't kill innocents indiscriminately, because the city is full of merchants, and half of the Central Plains and the Northern Barbarians are on the side.

The status of businessmen during the war was much higher than usual, because when there was a shortage of food, grass and weapons in the war, they had to rely on the help of this group of businessmen, and businessmen valued profit over righteousness, and would not deliberately stand on which side, whoever gave him more benefits would stand there, saying that which of the rulers of all dynasties did not love and hate businessmen?

A year ago, the new emperor ascended the throne, promoted several military generals, and did his best to support northern Xinjiang, and the war that lasted for nearly 20 years was gradually pacified, and Xiangping City gradually settled down.

At the same time, there are portraits of Ling'er posted everywhere in big cities and towns across the country, which is also a search order, and a reward of 10,000 taels of gold is offered to find Ling'er. Ling'er couldn't avoid it, so she ruthlessly left Xiaobao, who was only three months old, and came to northern Xinjiang with Liao Facai, who returned to Cangzhou to find relatives.

Liao Facai is one of the ten little flowers that Ling'er saved back then, he ranks third, Ling'er still remembers the appearance of him slamming the door, but he said seriously: I will be the richest man in the world in the future.

After more than ten years of meeting, although he did not become the richest man in the world. But he really embarked on the road of business, and his family conditions were not bad, as long as he ran it well. I believe that it should be no problem for people to save a large amount of family business in middle age.

There is another reason why Ling'er came to Xiangping City, Leng Wu, who was the fifth in the small flower back then, is now the guard of Xiangping City, with his help and protection, it is no problem to live a good life incognito here.

That afternoon, Liao Facai came back happily and came straight to Ling'er: "Sister, good news." I've just gone to find my fifth brother, and he asked you to move to his side, so it's safer. ”

Ling'er was a little surprised: "Huh? Why move to where he is? Doesn't Brother Fa Cai welcome me? ”

"No, no, no. Sister, I plan to go to the north in a few days, buy some fine horses, and then transport them to the south, which should be sold for a good price. When I left, there were some old and weak women and children left in the house. If something happens, there will be no one to help, so I don't worry. ”

"It's okay, with your sister-in-law and your father and mother here, it should be no problem!"

"No, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, our Xiangping City has a special location, and there are often wanted criminals hiding in this city, so the government will search from house to house every once in a while. In case I search and recognize you while I'm not there, it's troublesome, listen to me. Pack up your things, and I'll send you to my fifth brother tomorrow. ”

Ling'er thought about it, Liao Facai was for his own good, so he didn't argue.

Leng Wu's mansion is located in the southwest corner of Xiangping City, and all the civil and military generals in the city live around that area, so this is also the quietest and safest place in Xiangping City, and the officers and soldiers will never search there.

When they arrived in front of the Leng Mansion, Leng Wu, who was wearing a strong suit, stood at the door alone, he hadn't seen him for many years, this kid became more and more handsome and straight, obviously only eighteen years old, but his cold appearance saw through the killer of life and death.

Ling'er got out of the car to greet him, he didn't have any expression, just nodded, and turned around and walked inside.

Liao Facai said: "Sister, don't be careful, the fifth brother has always been like this, it's rare to see what expression he has." ”

Ling'er smiled awkwardly, thinking that if he always said something like this, how would he communicate in the future? I don't know what this kid looks like in front of his sweetheart?

"Brother Fortune? Is the fifth brother married? ”

"Married? No. ”

"He's not young, you haven't introduced him to one?"

"Hehe, don't mention it, every time I mention this, he ignores me, I can't see anyone for a long time, this stinky boy, I don't know what he's thinking?"

Ling'er said with a smile: "The fifth brother is not enlightened, I don't know how cute a gentle woman is, Brother Fa Cai is out of the house, if he meets a girl with good conduct and good appearance, he will bring it back and send it to this mansion, let them face each other day and night, this iceberg will melt sooner or later." ”

Liao Facai thought about it, slapped it and said, "Oh, yes, why didn't I think of it!" Or my sister is smart. ”

Leng Wu, who had already entered the hospital, came out at some point, standing in front of the two with a cold face, staring at the two with a light gaze. Although he didn't speak, it was clear from his eyes that he was a little angry.

Liao Facai and Ling'er smiled awkwardly at the same time, and then followed him into the courtyard together.

The courtyard was not large, with only two entrances, and there were only two servants, an old man who guarded the door, and a middle-aged woman who was in charge of sprinkling and cleaning.

Liao Facai took Ling'er to stop in front of the door of the West Wing: "This is your room, that's the kitchen, ask Mother Wu if you need anything." ”

Then she called the servant woman over: "Mother Wu, this is the new Mrs. Yang, you will live here in the future, you can help take care of it." ”

Mother Wu replied happily, but her eyes were rolling on Ling'er. Liao Facai helped Ling'er move things in, gave some instructions, and then went to drink with Leng Wu.

On the morning of Leng Wuyi, Mother Wu came over with a wink and a smile: "Madam, are you ...... Where did it come from? Doesn't it have a good relationship with our master? ”

Ling'er tugged at the corners of her mouth, and asked Yuanyuan to stuff a piece of silver for her: "Mother Wu, we may have to bother here for a while, please take care of it in the future." ”

Mother Wu's eyes widened when she looked at Yinzi, she had come to help in this house for more than a year, and she had never received a reward. If it weren't for Leng Wu's ignorance of her, she was very free, as long as she did whatever she wanted, she really didn't want to stay here.

This lady is so generous, Wu's mother is very happy, and she is very enthusiastic about helping.

When everything was taken care of, Aunt Dumb and Yuanyuan went to cook and laundry respectively, but Mother Wu had nothing to do, she saw Ling'er sitting in the courtyard reading, so she came over and said with a smile: "Madam, our master has a cold temperament, I didn't expect to find such a good person as Madame, where did Madame come from?" Why haven't I seen it before? ”

Ling'er saw that she was always chasing after her and didn't tell her that she wouldn't stop, so she smiled: "I am the concubine of the Liao family, and I am at odds with Mrs. Liao, and Brother Fa Cai wants to go out to do business, so I don't worry about me being at home alone, so he sent me here." ”

"Concubine!" Mother Wu exclaimed, and then smiled embarrassedly: "The concubine is also very good, Liao Gongzi is very good to people, Mrs. has found a good family!" ”

Seeing Wu's mother like that, it was obviously wrong, Ling'er shook her head funny, and ignored her. (To be continued......)
