Chapter Twenty-Three: Meeting Gu Lang?

Mother Liu's health has been getting worse and worse over the years, and after Liu Jing comforted her a few words, she helped her to sleep peacefully. When she came out and saw her sister who was looking at her with big eyes and a desire for her closeness, her heart softened and she picked up the little girl who had been neglected for a long time. The little girl was obviously very well-behaved, and she leaned quietly in her sister's arms, just looking up at her. Looking at it, she leaned into Liu Jing's ear and whispered, "Big brother, you are the second sister, right?" ”

Liu Jing looked down at the little sister who was worried about her identity, and couldn't help but take a look. She picked up her little sister and walked towards the study, and said, "Don't want to sleep?" If you don't want to sleep, can you write with your eldest brother for a while? The little girl didn't like to read, she shook her head desperately, forcibly broke it off Liu Jing, and ran away with a smoke.

Seeing her fleeing figure, Liu Jing smiled and shook her head. It was getting early at this time, and she instructed her maid to prepare a hot bath as she walked towards her bedchamber.

Liu Jing originally thought that after being frightened so much, she would not be able to sleep again like the previous two times. Unexpectedly, as soon as she lay down on the floor, drowsiness came into confusion. And this sleep is very deep and very solid.

The next day, Liu Jing slept until noon before getting up, and after having a meal, she and her mother visited her father again, and saw that most of his leg injury was healed, and he also changed to a clean and bright cell, so he rewarded the jailer who took care of his father with ten taels of gold.

At this time, the servants who had gone to Wu County to investigate her father's case had not yet returned, and Liu Jing walked on the street, thinking and pondering the news collected by the prodigal sons, while paying attention to the people of Wu County discussing the events of last night.

The strange thing is that there was so much noise last night, and there was the sound of horses' hooves coming and going for most of the night, but no one mentioned it today, as if nothing had happened last night.

If everyone doesn't mention it, Liu Jing won't attract attention. When I turned around and returned to Liufu, the two servants who had arranged to sell their property in Yanghe County came back, and when they saw Liu Jing, the two old servants were smiling. One of them shouted proudly: "Da Lang, this time the old slave is finally worthy of the master mother and you." The other said, "Da Lang, the house and the rent have been sold." ”

Seeing their happy looks, Liu Jing was also very happy, and she asked excitedly, "Sold it?" How much gold did they get? ”

The two servants stepped forward, and they presented the deed of the transaction with the buyer to Liu Jing, and one of them said happily: "I happened to meet someone who made money and went home to buy a house." The house was valued at two hundred taels, and the shop was two hundred and thirty taels of gold. Da Lang, you don't know Lu Dao, the Haoqiang surnamed Zhao who cheated our family is still very unhappy after knowing Lu Dao. Bah! The thief embryo thought about taking down both places with one hundred and eighty taels of gold, but he knew that the luck of our Liufu was inexhaustible. ”

The price of Liufu is two hundred taels, and the store is two hundred and thirty taels of gold? Well, that's a good price. Whether it is Liufu or the store, it is all the scenery of Liufu back then, whether it is the area or the layout is still in the direction, it is a first-class good place in the small place of Yanghe. It's worth the price.

Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, patiently exaggerated the two old servants, and said with a smile: "That gold is all put away for my mother?" ”

"Yes, Dalang."

plus the one he gave to his mother, and now his mother also has five hundred taels of gold on hand. With so much gold, if my father is safe now, it will be in this Wu County, and they can also buy an ordinary courtyard to live in. It's a pity that my father is still in prison, and there will be a lot of time to spend a lot of money.

But no matter what, with so much gold in the family all of a sudden, Liu Jing finally relaxed.

This relaxation is real relaxation, a while ago, the family's livelihood pressed on her head like a mountain, making it difficult for her to sleep. Now that she has a loose job, she can put her mind at ease and seek a safe and long-term way to make money in a down-to-earth manner.

As soon as her heart relaxed, Liu Jing felt that her whole person was full of energy. She went back to her room and freshened up.

First, in the bronze mirror, she looked at her woman's makeup for a long time, and then Liu Jing shook her head and began to apply oil on her face, neck, and back of her hands. This oil is lard, she dipped a very little, a little bit, and added a little ash at the bottom of the pot and evenly, and smeared it on her face carefully, as soon as the oil was on, the whole face looked black and thicker, and then properly and secretly trimmed and traced the eyebrows and eyes, and the man Liu Wenjing appeared in the bronze mirror.

It's also strange to say, Liu Jing found that since she pretended to be a man, she couldn't sleep well and couldn't eat, but her skin was more tender than before. It seems that what is said in "Shennong's Materia Medica" is quite reasonable.

After dressing up, when Liu Jing went out, she heard the laughter of her little sister from a distance.

Children are always carefree. Liu Jing shook her head with a smile, touched the twenty taels of gold in her sleeve pocket, and stepped out of the house again.

This time I walked out into the street, and the sky seemed to be a little brighter. She had been in Wu County for so long, and it was only at this moment that she was in the mood to appreciate the flow of people, the shops on both sides of the street, and the small stalls placed on the side of the road from time to time.

Walking and walking, she came to Chunzhu Lane, the most prosperous place in Wu County, this alley, there are many shops on both sides, and each shop is exquisitely arranged, and there are stalls placed everywhere on the side of the road, and snacks from all over the world can be seen here.

At this time, Liu Jing saw a stall with jade artifacts at a glance.

Looking at one of the bracelets, Liu Jing suddenly remembered Baoyu, who was her mother. It's just that to redeem that piece of jade, at least a hundred taels of gold, she can't afford to redeem it now. That's it, why do you want to do this now? It's better to save my father wholeheartedly.

Thinking about it, Liu Jing came to the stall.

Just as she squatted down and reached out to the jade bracelet that seemed to be of good quality, suddenly, a delicate voice came from the side, "Hey, this jade bracelet is good." With that, a hand reached over, and the tip of Liu Jing's hand just touched the jade bracelet, and the hand had taken the jade bracelet from under her hand generously. Then, the delicate voice said softly: "Gu Lang, do you think this jade bracelet is very good-looking?" ”

Gu Lang?

She said Gu Lang?

As if she had been hit by something, Liu Jing slowly stood up and turned her head slowly.

What appeared in her field of vision were two women and a man, among whom were offering charm to men with a delicate face, holding a bracelet and talking, it was the Minfu sister-in-law who had a relationship with her, sneering at Yang Ziyuan's third sister that day. And another girl, who has used the sister-in-law of Minfu for her beauty, but Liu Jing doesn't know it.

As for the handsome man who was looked at by the two women with admiration, with a smile on the corner of his lips and an elegant bearing, he was actually an acquaintance, wasn't he the noble man from Luoyang who walked with the Min brothers, was deliberately cleared by them, invited into the restaurant, and said that he wanted to eat wine and boiled goose?

His surname is Gu?

He is from Luoyang, and his surname is Gu?

Liu Jing's heart was beating fast at this moment.

Liu Jing's men's appearance is quite outstanding, handsome and elegant, with a hidden luxury, such a person, although he is dressed in cloth, he will not be ignored by a girl.

So when she turned around, the two sisters-in-law also saw her face clearly, and their manners and movements were a little more reserved.

Seeing Liu Jing's spring-like eyes eagerly looking at her, the handsome and elegant man raised his lips and smiled, raised his eyebrows and asked, "This Langjun, do we know?" He stared at Liu Jing fixedly, his gaze focused on almost probing.

Liu Jing took a deep look at him, and replied gently: "Under the surname Liu ......" As soon as the word 'Liu' came out, Liu Jing clearly saw that the man in front of her had a cold face.

Seeing the undisguised displeasure between his eyebrows, Liu Jing felt a little bit in her heart. After thinking about it, Liu Jing continued to say to him: "Brother Gu is very familiar, he seems to be an old man, I don't know if he stayed in Poyang County before?" ”

The man's eyebrows raised again, he looked at Liu Jing with a smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "Yes, I have been living in Poyang County since I was a child...... Brother Liu? ”

Liu Jing's heart jumped suddenly, her eyes pursed her lips, and her smile was warm and quiet, "In Xia Liu Wenjing, the ...... of Yanghe County, Wu County" Again, when she said the words 'Yanghe County, Wu County', Liu Jing clearly saw that the handsome and elegant Gu Jialangjun in front of her was shrouded in a gloomy aura between her eyebrows.

This kind of anger made Liu Jing shiver, and for no reason, she was a little afraid. At that moment, Liu Jing lowered her eyes and smiled: "It's abrupt." With that, she waved at him and said in a clear voice: "Brother Gu, please take care of it, and retire below." With that, she flicked her sleeves and straightened her back and walked out.

Liu Jing walked step by step, until she took more than a dozen steps, she could still feel the burning of her vest, as if she was being stared at quietly.

However, until she walked away, Gu Lang didn't call out to her.

It wasn't until she walked out of the sight of both sides that Liu Jing stopped. She looked back in the direction she had left and smiled bitterly.

Between people, sometimes there is something that really doesn't have to be said. The surname Gu just now, when she mentioned her surname and Yanghe County, the anger was clear and arguable. The anger was so deep that she fled without finishing her words. This man hated his own house so much that he would ask him for help, but it would be in vain.

However, it seems that this person is very likely to be Gu Erlang, and after going back to discuss with his mother, he will send someone to visit. They still have a marriage contract, and they can't avoid it.

Leaning against the wall, Liu Jing has never regretted her rash willfulness when she was young and ignorant.

Liu Jing didn't know what to say, when she saw her leaving, Gu Lang stared at her back fixedly, and the sister-in-law surnamed Min asked curiously, "Gu Lang, who is this person?" Why did you leave without saying anything? ”

Gu Lang lowered his eyes, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he smiled: "This person, maybe it's an old friend of mine...... It's really a lot of fate to meet here......" When the sound of string music sounded, for some reason, the two women beside him shivered.

Although at this moment, the two women felt that the noble man from Luoyang in front of them was very cold, but they still hugged him delicately and happily. After all, they are all daughters of a small place in Wu County, and they are from a common family, and with their identity, it is impossible for them to become Gu Lang's wife. However, I heard that this Gu Lang has been clean and upright for so many years. In this way, they can get the favor of this Gu family Langjun, they are concubines, and they can also greatly enhance the status of the family.
