That old man Zhang Xian has a deep foundation in Rongcheng, and he is in cahoots with the original Taishou in Rongcheng, how could the business suddenly be damaged for no reason?

There is no doubt that Li Che will move his hand behind this time.

Thinking of Li Che, Liu Xuan's heart couldn't help but ache slightly, and she covered up the strangeness in her heart, she raised her lips slightly and said to Jiang Xiaogongzi: "It's too late for you to regret it now, you might as well talk about the difficulties in detail, and think of a way together." ”

Jiang Xiaogongzi waited for this sentence, and immediately talked about his difficulties one by one.

It turns out that this Rongcheng is not only the power of the original Taishou and Zhang Xian, but also the power of the Su family and the Shi family, the power of the family is already deep and there are private soldiers, Jiang Xiaogongzi will naturally not give much face when he first arrives, the Shi family is okay, more or less will give some face for the sake of him being a protégé of the Son of Heaven, but the Su family is completely suppressed.

Liu Xuan was about to ask why, when he saw Jiang Xiaogongzi said with a bitter face: "You don't know, the former Taishou is a member of the Su family." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xuan asked: "You haven't been in Rongcheng for a few days, so how can the Su family embarrass you?" ”

Jiang Xiaogongzi sighed: "Don't you know, although the former Taishou was dismissed, he was not convicted, and now he is in the Su family." When the Taishou was in office, the Su family had never paid a penny of taxes, even the taxes on the Shi family were very few, and most of the tax sources of the Taishou were Zhang Xian's dark business, and he went to the Taishou Mansion was completely empty, and I couldn't be as embarrassed as he was with Zhang Xian, so I had to collect the taxes owed by the Su family and the Shi family, and the Shi family paid some. But the Su family refused to hand over a penny, I was a newcomer, and I had nothing to rely on except for the official seal. ”

Jiang Xiaogongzi's meaning Liu Xuan and Deng Yu completely understood, to put it bluntly, the Su family has an enmity with him, and he has an unstable foundation when he first arrives, he is not as good as the situation, and the Su family has private soldiers in Wuna, and now the Taishou Mansion is an empty mansion, not to mention that it has been handed over to the treasury, and it is difficult to support the servants in the house.

Deng Yu raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "The whole world is not the king's land." This Su family is really far away from the emperor that day. No one can touch them, so you go and hand them a sticker, saying that you will come to collect the tax arrears in person tomorrow, and you want to see it. How can they! ”

Jiang Xiaogongzi was overjoyed when he heard this. Immediately leaned over towards Deng Yu and said, "In this way, thank the son first." ”

Deng Yu glanced at him through the veil: "No need to thank you." I just want to know where the money in the treasury has gone, and I almost cut off my military rations! ”

Jiang Xiaogongzi smiled when he heard this, but he sighed in his heart that this prince of Ning Wang was not as unkind as the rumors outside. Although he said this unceremoniously, the meaning in and out of his words was to thank him for the food, which was a reciprocated matter for him.

After discussing the matter like this, Liu Xuan and Deng Yuzhou were tired of driving, and Jiang Xiaogongzi led them to the backyard to rest.

The accommodation arranged by Jiang Xiaogongzi for Liu Xuan and Deng Yu was two adjacent courtyards, and he sent Liu Xuan and Deng Yu to leave.

Deng Yu stood outside the courtyard but didn't go in, Liu Xuan saw this and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Deng Yu looked at her as if she wanted to speak a little, and only said after half a sound: "It's okay, it's just that I want you to cook." ”

Liu Xuan rolled her eyes at him: "You let me rest for a day, tomorrow you get the Su family's silver, and when you come back, you can eat the food I made by myself." ”

Deng Yu snorted lightly when he heard this: "Could it be that you are still worried that your master will not be able to get the silver?" ”

Liu Xuan shook her head, she really didn't worry about this matter, Jiang Xiaogongzi is a person with a clear mind, and he is flexible and eloquent, what he lacks is just the foundation and strength, the Deng family army is everywhere, and now that he has borrowed Deng Yu's momentum, this matter will be easy.

Although there are private soldiers in Su Mansion, how these private soldiers compare with Deng Jiajun, and Deng Yu's perverse "prestige" has long been known to everyone, so as long as Su Mansion is not a fool, he will know what to do when he sees Deng Yu.

She smiled and said: "I have never worried about this, Ming'er, you put on a mask and stand at the door of Nasu Mansion, and Nasu Mansion will definitely obediently offer silver." ”

For such a joke, Deng Yu snorted and expressed dissatisfaction: "You are comparing the master to Shura." ”

"Even if you are Shura, you are also a handsome and unparalleled Shura." Liu Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, go back and rest quickly, and have dinner with you in the evening." ”

Hearing her say this, Deng Yu finally nodded.

Liu Xuan returned to the courtyard, Qiu Ju and Dongmei were already waiting, and when they saw her, they immediately greeted them with a smile, Liu Xuan nodded and smiled at the two, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Liu Yue standing not far away.

She glanced at Liu Yue and then withdrew her gaze, and asked as she walked inside, "Is your accommodation arranged?" ”

Qiu Ju smiled and nodded: "It has been arranged, but although this young lady accepted this Liu girl as a maid, she has never made any arrangements for her, and the slaves and maids don't know how to treat her." ”

Liu Xuan frowned slightly when she heard this, she once said about Liu Yue's arrangement, what made Liu Yue obey Qiu Ju and Dongmei was that in less than half a day, Qiu Ju and Dongmei mentioned this matter again, it seems that this Liu Yue is not as weak and deceitful as her face.

She called to Liu Yue, "Liu Yue, come here." ”

Liu Yue responded when she heard this, and then walked over slowly, she was already good-looking, and she was a willow posture, this way she was actually amorous, where is there a maid's appearance!

Liu Xuan saw these in her eyes, and when she came to her side, she frowned and asked, "Now I will ask you one last time, this is also your last chance, you have to think about it and answer clearly." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yue glanced up at Liu Xuan, and seeing her solemn face, she couldn't help pursing her lips slightly, and nodded weakly and aggrievedly.

Seeing her like this, Liu Xuan didn't like it in her heart, if it weren't for that bit of blood, if it wasn't for the chance to meet her and fall into trouble, if it weren't for her grandfather's last words, she wouldn't have looked at Liu Yue at all.

Liu Xuan sighed and said: "I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to change your identity and start over somewhere else, of course I will give you money and silver, as long as you are not as good as your father and brother, you can live this life richly." ”

Liu Yue bit her lower lip when she heard this, and her face showed a little weakness and grievance. She was just silent like this, and did not answer Liu Xuan's words,

Liu Xuan looked at her like this, where was there anything she didn't understand, and immediately said with a cold face: "I just met you in Pingshui, and I helped when I saw that you were pitiful, you don't have to misestimate your identity." ”

Liu Yue seemed to be frightened by her appearance, and tears fell from her eyes in the blink of an eye, so she looked so touching and pitiful.

It's a pity that Liu Xuan is no longer annoyed with her, and sighed at the moment. Suppressed his heart and frowned impatiently: "I don't need a maid who cries all day long. If you have any ideas, you might as well say it directly, how can I understand crying like this? ”

Xu is Liu Xuan's words finally worked, or maybe Liu Yue figured it out herself, she raised a face with pear blossoms and rain. It seems to be struggling and hesitating. After half a ring, he whispered, "I...... I don't want to leave Rongcheng. ”

As soon as these words came out. Qiu Ju and Dong Mei both looked at Liu Yue with a look of surprise, Liu Xuan saw Qiu Ju and Dong Mei's expressions, and lowered her eyes slightly: "It's okay." You are the daughter of the Liu family, although your father and brother sent you to pay off the debt, but after all, it is your dearest, I also heard that your mother is still not thin on you, if you go alone, it will be too unfilial, so, Ming'er I will give you some money and silver, you go back to Liu's house. ”

As soon as her voice fell, Liu Yue's face was suddenly full of horror, and Liu Xuan glanced at her lightly: "This matter is decided like this, don't say more." With that, she lifted her feet and walked into the room.

There was a sound of kneeling behind him, and Liu Yue's crying voice came from behind him: "Miss...... Miss, don't drive me away! ”

Liu Xuan's footsteps paused slightly, and then she didn't look back and went directly into the room, letting Liu Yue's crying sound outside.

Qiu Ju and Dong Mei glanced at Liu Yue, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, with contempt on their faces, and then they didn't care about her, they both entered the house and closed the door.

Liu Xuan sat at the table and looked at Qiu Ju and Dongmei, rubbed her brows and said with a helpless expression: "Say, why did she suddenly say that she didn't want to leave Rongcheng?" ”

Qiu Ju and Dong Mei stepped forward to her side with a smile, Qiu Ju reached out and took the teapot to pour tea for Liu Xuan, Dong Mei smiled on the side and said, "I really can't hide anything from Miss." ”

Liu Xuan listened to the crying and pleading from outside, and stroked her forehead, obviously having a headache: "She originally said categorically that she wanted to be my maid, but the shopkeeper reminded her that the Liu family would suffer because of her, and she never changed her attention, and it was only two hours before and she said that she didn't want to leave Rongcheng. ”

Qiu Ju put down the teapot and slapped it with a sycophant: "Miss is wise, you can't hide anything from Miss." ”

Liu Xuan waved her hand: "Let's talk straight, what's wrong with her?" ”

"What else?" Dongmei pouted disdainfully: "It's not that I regretted seeing that Jiang Taishou was a young talent." ”

Liu Xuan showed a look of surprise on her face when she heard this, Qiu Ju glared at Dongmei resentfully, and explained to Liu Xuan: "Then Miss Liu thinks I don't know what the slaves and maids think, but in front of the Taishou Mansion, she once asked Jiang Taishou, and the big wolf once joked to her, if she regrets it, she can come to Miss, Miss and Jiang Taishou are old acquaintances, as long as Miss speaks, Jiang Taishou will definitely accept her as a concubine." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xuan didn't understand anything, and she couldn't cry or laugh at the moment, not to mention that Liu Yue is the identity of a fugitive concubine, that is, Jiang Xiaogongzi is now the guardian of the city of the Son of Heaven's protégé, how can she accept people into the house in a few words, and even if she has the heart to say, Jiang Xiaogongzi has not yet married after all, according to Li Che's appreciation of him, it is only a matter of time before he rises to the top, how can he leave Liu Yue by his side and block his future?

After all, this Liu Yue is the concubine of the old man, isn't Jiang Xiaogongzi a lustful person who accepts bribes from beautiful women?

Jiang Xiaogongzi has not yet gained a foothold in Rongcheng, and such a reputation spreads, and he will not have to walk in the officialdom in the future.

This Liu Yue is really whimsical!

Liu Yue's crying voice came from the outside room, the crying whimpered with endless grievances and pitiful, the three people in the room who listened were all frowning, Liu Xuan's patience was really used up now, she was not a kind-hearted person, and said coldly at the moment: "Qiu Ju, send her away now!" Send her back to Liu's house! ”

Qiu Ju had long been impatient with that Liu Yue, but now that she heard Liu Xuan's instructions, she immediately said, "Okay, the slave will go." ”

Liu Xuan thought about it and called Qiu Ju again, sighed and said, "Give her a thousand taels of silver, so that she can do it for herself." ”

Qiu Ju answered, turned around and walked out of the house.

Qiu Ju went out of the house and closed the door, came to Liu Yue, who was still kneeling on the ground, and frowned, "Didn't you hear what Miss said?" Miss just met you Pingshui, saw that you were pitiful and then came to help, she saved you is already benevolent and righteous, you are crying like this in front of this door now, isn't it a bad luck to find Miss, is it wrong for Miss to save you? ”

Liu Yue immediately stopped crying when she heard this, raised her head and choked up: "I, I didn't mean that, I bothered my sister to help me say something in front of Miss, I really can't go back to Liu's house." ”

She said and left tears in her eyes: "I was sold by my father and brother, if I go back to Liu's house, Master Zhang will definitely come to the door, and I will not escape the fate of being caught, one of my escaped concubines will be caught, they will beat me to death!" ”

Speaking of this, she didn't care about anything else, and immediately kowtowed to Qiu Ju, her helpless and sad appearance was really unbearable.

Qiu Ju looked at her condescendingly and said, "You don't have to worry about this, since Miss saved you, naturally she won't let you fall into the hands of that master again." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yue still couldn't afford to fall to the ground, and she choked up: "Even if that old man Zhang lets me go, but my father and brother can sell me once and sell me a second time, I really don't dare to go back to this Liu family." ”

Qiu Ju snorted coldly: "You can see this matter clearly, why don't you see that other things are so clear." ”

Seeing Liu Yue's puzzled look when she heard this, Qiu Ju didn't plan to talk much to this brainless person, she took out a silver ticket from her sleeve and handed it to her: "Here is a thousand taels of silver, if you don't want to go back to Liu's house, take this silver to find a place to live, one thousand taels is enough for you to buy a house to buy shoes and maids, and live a rich life." ”

Liu Yue looked at the silver ticket in Qiu Ju's hand stupidly, and Qiu Ju was a little impatient: "Do you want to take it?" ”

Liu Yue came back to her senses but didn't answer, and cried and kowtowed to Qiu Ju again: "I, I don't want silver, I just want to be able to stay with Miss and serve Miss like sisters, sister help me plead with Miss, I really don't want to leave." ”

"It's up to you whether you can go or not." Qiu Ju snorted coldly, this Liu Yue didn't know what the idea of playing was with the dead face, she didn't dare to keep such a person: "If you leave now, you can still take this thousand taels of silver, if you insist on staying, you will be able to sign a deed of sale and enter the slave status, and you will be sold to the kiln immediately, according to your appearance, you will definitely be able to live well!"
