After a while, he said slowly: "Although Brother Liu and I are new acquaintances, we also hit it off at first sight. Don't hide it from Brother Liu, my family is also in business, and I'm afraid I can't help Brother Liu in this regard. ”

Liu Jing was originally just a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and he was lucky, but now he directly said that he couldn't help, which was also expected. She hurriedly returned the salute and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yang is polite, my father's affairs are troublesome." ”

Yoko nodded and said no more.

What Liu Jing didn't expect was that since she heard her say that her father was imprisoned, Yang Ziyuan was unfamiliar with her. Originally, they had a good impression of the frame at first sight, but then they found an excuse and returned to their own convoy. At first, Liu Jing thought that he was really something, until after the break, the team did not move, Liu Jing stepped forward to ask, they said that the master was unwell, and he was not busy moving for the time being, and asked them to go first, and when Yang Ziyuan hid and disappeared, Liu Jing immediately understood that he was disgusted with himself.

Also, people in this world have no choice but to add icing on the cake, and there are few people who can send charcoal in the snow. What's more, Liu Jing's father committed a lawsuit, which means that her family's luck is not good, in this era of especially believing that numerology is worthy of public opinion and has become the mainstream, such as Yang Ziyuan, who gave his sister to an official as a concubine and wanted to climb up, it is also normal for him to avoid people like himself who are unlucky.

However, after Yang Ziyuan's incident, Liu Jing's heart became cold about asking strangers for help. At that time, the family traveled day and night, and finally arrived in Wu County after more than half a month.

As one of the eleven counties in Yangzhou, Wu County is the role of the tail of Yangzhou's crane in terms of wealth and humanities.

All in all, among the counties in the world, Wu County is not a prosperous place.

Rao is like this, Liu Xuan, who has not been to Qinghe County since he can remember, is still so excited that he doesn't know why. She frequently poked her head out of the bullock cart and chattered at the scenery outside.

And Liu Mu, who has been extraordinarily quiet since she left her hometown, looked melancholy and seemed to be thinking when she looked at the prosperous weather outside.

As soon as she entered Wu County, Liu Jing ordered Uncle Wu and Uncle Wang and a few other people who had seen the world to find brokers to rent a room. They now only have less than fifty taels of gold in hand, and if they want to rent a large courtyard that can accommodate more than a dozen people in Wu County, which is far more traditional than their hometown, the time must not be as common as usual, and the rent will be paid for a year. Therefore, there is also a problem of eloquence, which can only be done by a few experienced people.

It was not until four hours later, when it was dark, that Uncle Wang rented an old courtyard in the outskirts of Wujun County, and rented it for a total of half a year, with a rent of thirty taels of gold.

At that moment, the family, who had no money to stay in the inn, hurriedly drove the ox cart to the courtyard. While the servants were quickly tidying up the courtyard and carrying the furniture, Liu Jing had been standing in the moonlight, quietly looking at the shadows of the trees.

Her Liu family is actually very rich. In her memory, Liu Jing knew that her father had even been an official, otherwise, her servants would not have called her father an 'adult' one by one.

But now, not only is the family in the middle of the road, but his father is also in prison, and on the way he meets a businessman friend who he thought he could make friends. As a result, as soon as the other party knew about his own situation, he immediately avoided it...... The world is hot and cold, and the people are warm and cold, which really makes her uncomfortable.

Yes, uncomfortable. In addition to being uncomfortable, faintly, Liu Jing is also unconvinced! There is a kind of unwillingness!

By the time things are arranged, it's already past the hour. The family was so tired that they didn't even fall asleep in the shower.

As soon as it was dawn, Liu Jing woke up, and after freshening up, she walked out of the room.

As a result, as soon as she left the room, she saw that her mother, Uncle Wang, Uncle Lu and others also collapsed, and they cleaned up the courtyard in silence one by one.

Seeing her mother from afar, Liu Jing felt that she was older.

After being silent for a while, she walked behind an Uncle Lu and Uncle Wang who were cutting the weeds in the yard and tying them up.

Seeing her coming, Uncle Wang wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said lovingly, "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

Liu Jing smiled: "Uncle doesn't sleep more?" ”

Uncle Wang sighed: "Where can I sleep?" Since your father was imprisoned, we and your mother have not had a good night's sleep. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhilu Dao Yamen would not have been a director at all during the New Year, we would have thought of visiting your father in prison when the day before yesterday was sunny. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "Da Lang, when you visit the prison, you have to pay some points inside and out, and I don't know if the remaining bit of gold is enough?" ”

Liu Jing pondered for a while and said, "I'm not busy." In Uncle Wang's puzzled gaze, Liu Jing said seriously: "In this way, Uncle Wang will go to the prison to take a look and inquire what to do to see my father." After inquiring, the matter will be handled by me. You and Uncle Lu will go to Luoyang to find Gu Gong's help, and the other will go to inquire about the news of Gu Jiaerlang. ”

She looked into the distance and said softly: "The disaster of prison is the easiest thing for people to lose their family and money. As long as I make sure my father is okay, I will plan slowly. In short, no matter what, I can't let this family fall apart and fall into ruin. ”

It turned out that at this point, she was still thinking that she wanted her father to come back, but she couldn't completely ruin the family. Uncle Lu and Uncle Wang looked at the 'ambitious' second sister-in-law in front of them, and they were speechless for a while. However, since Liyang's salt interception, they had been convinced of her, and after thinking for a while, they both nodded.

It was estimated that after about the hour, Uncle Wang and Liu Jing went out at the same time. Uncle Wang rushed to the direction of the prison to inquire about Liu's father, and Liu Jing walked in the direction of the tavern.

She now went to the tavern with her sleeves empty, not to drink. She only vaguely had a little idea, she had to listen to all kinds of gossip in that crowded place, maybe those words of right and wrong could help her perfect.

When Liu Jing came to the outside of a nearby tavern, she found that in the tavern, a drinker was walking out one after another. And at the gate, the shopkeeper was nodding his head and waisting, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, it's really those nobles who are very big, they say they don't like to be lively, and there is no way for the small ones." ”

It turns out that there are some nobles who want to come over, and the shopkeeper is driving away the idle people and waiting?

At that moment, Liu Jing, who was standing aside, stepped back and retreated.

Just as the drunkards who dared not speak in anger were muttering and scattering, two gorgeous carriages drove up on the opposite street.

The carriage was black and gold-inlayed, and the eight horses pulling the carriage were all white horses of the same color, and these were good horses of a noble breed at first glance, and everyone had never seen two of them in this place in Wu County.

In a few moments, the carriage came to a halt outside the tavern, and two richly dressed and similar-looking youths walked down first.

After they got down, they walked outside the first carriage at the same time, waved at the people inside, and said respectfully, "Big brother, it's here." ”

"Yes." From the carriage, a deep and gorgeous voice came from it, and it seemed to be the music of a lute, revealing a kind of calm and grace that could cause the echo of the empty mountain.

After the people in the carriage passed, the curtain was lifted, and a handsome and elegant young man with the same voice as him stepped out of the carriage. This young man, who looked to be about twenty years old, was tall and long, with a cold expression.

As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, the two brothers who had been dressed in noble clothes before him were bent at the waist. The man on the left said with a smile: "Last time I heard the eldest brother mention it, it was said that the most intoxicating thing in this Wu County was the wine and goose. The eldest brother must not know that this tavern not only sells good wine, but also cooks goose with wine, which is also the most famous in the entire Wu County. Since the eldest brother is here, he must go in and try it. The young man who spoke obviously looked older than this handsome and elegant young man, but he called one big brother after another, and he was not shy.

The handsome and elegant young man listened to it without aid, and as he slowly entered the tavern, Liu Jing on one side heard his gorgeous voice flowing in a low voice, "I have an old man who said that although she is a woman, she also has the pleasure of a crane...... Although she compares herself to a crane, every time I eat this wine and cook goose, I think of her. ”

The two of them didn't understand what the young man said. Say that he misses it, he compares his old friend to a wine and a goose to eat, how can it reveal a kind of disrespect. Say he's not nostalgic, his tone is too affectionate.

Just as the two young men in fancy clothes smiled and respectfully greeted the gorgeous and elegant young man into the tavern, Liu Jing on one side frowned. Vaguely, she felt that the sentence 'Although she is a woman, she also has the ...... of the crane', is quite familiar. Could it be in which book have you read similar boasts?

Shaking her head, Liu Jing, who was preoccupied, left this matter behind.

As soon as she turned around, a handsome young man walked quickly. Suddenly, the handsome young man immediately burst into a proper smile and called politely, "Brother Liu is also here?" ”

This handsome young man is naturally Yang Ziyuan, and he didn't expect that he would meet him soon.

Just when Liu Jing was about to return the gift, Yang Ziyuan was already busy and said: "I am out of company, I will have a chance to have a cold talk with Brother Liu in the future." He pointed to the tavern, and said proudly: "My third brother-in-law is accompanying a big guest from Luoyang, and people of that status are not easy to meet, so I don't dare to be abrupt." As he spoke, he looked at Liu Jing's eyes, revealing a kind of condescending arrogance.

His third brother-in-law? Yes, his third sister, isn't she the girl she met on the road who didn't want to be a concubine? Although he proudly claimed that he was the third brother-in-law of someone inside, in fact, they were not serious relatives, right?

Liu Jing naturally just thought about it, she smiled slightly, and without waiting for her to return the salute, Yang Ziyuan had already crossed her with an arrow step, and went up the steps of the tavern in a blink of an eye. When he stepped into the door of the tavern, Liu Jing noticed that his waist was folded so that the whole person was rickety, and the flattering smile on his face was so bright that it could almost hurt the eyes of passers-by.

Liu Jing watched Yang Ziyuan step into the tavern, shook her head, and walked away.
