In Wujun, Yangzhou, in September, it was the time of the autumn wind.

Yanghe County in Wu County is a wealthy county in the middle of the 92 counties in Yangzhou. At this moment, in Liufu in Yanghe County, it is the smoke curling.

'Squeak', the door of the study was gently opened, and a little girl of five or six years old, stretched out her little head to look inside, blinked her big eyes and called crisply: "Second sister, tell you to eat." ”

The girl who was immersed in the bookcase did not answer immediately, but slowly finished writing a line, and then raised her head, and when she saw her sister, she smiled lightly: "Okay." ”

She lowered her head again and put away the pen and ink, and looked down to see that the little guy's round eyes were still staring at her, Liu Jing said softly: "Why do you look at my sister like this?" ”

The little girl blinked a few times and said with a big smile: "Second sister, you are so good-looking, why didn't your brother-in-law come to marry you back?" The little girl spoke proudly, obviously laughing at her sister.

Liu Jing's beautiful face froze, and she was about to teach her sister a few words, when a rush of footsteps and screams came from the gate. What happened?

Liu Jing couldn't care about her little sister anymore, and with a lift of her steps, she walked towards the hall lightly and quickly. Liu's father has been in business for several years, and he made a fortune a few years ago, but now his business is sluggish, and the house he bought back then is still not small, Rao is Liu Jing walked very quickly, and it took more than a quarter of an hour to get to the hall.

As soon as she came to the outside of the hall, she heard Uncle Wang kneeling on the ground and crying, "...... Madame, those poor people are like wolves and tigers, and the whole ship has been detained. They said it was an adult who smuggled official salt...... Adults are speechless! ”

Uncle Wang's words were like a bolt from the blue, and as soon as the voice fell, Mother Liu collapsed on the collapse, and her face turned pale.

At this moment, it was not only Liu's mother who had an ugly face, but also the servants in the entire Liu Mansion, all of whom were stupid at this time.

In the past two years, several silk shops have opened in Yanghe County, and it has become more and more difficult to do business in Liufu. Father Liu went out this time, he made a big bet, he not only took away all the savings of the family, but also used Liufu and the shop as collateral, borrowed hundreds of gold, and even borrowed a heavy loan from Zhao Xuan, a powerful man in the east of the city, in order to gamble.

And now, not only has his goods been seized by the government, but he has also been charged with selling illicit salt......

Amid the suffocating silence and faint sobbing, there was another sound of footsteps outside. Mixed in with the footsteps, a voice was so rough that it made people panic, "Get out of the way - how did Liu Xingzhou promise my family Lord Zhao at that time?" He patted his chest and promised that he would borrow 500 gold from my family today, and he would be able to repay 1,000 gold in half a year! Now that he is fine, the goods have been detained and people have been imprisoned, what should I do with my family Zhao's 1,000 gold? ”

Almost as soon as this voice came out, Liu Mu, who was originally pale, stood up angrily, and she shouted tremblingly: "Nonsense! Xingzhou obviously only borrowed 200 gold, but now in the mouth of such a bastard, it has become 1,000 gold! He Zhao Xuan really dared! ”

In the hoarse cry of Liu's mother, in the panic of the servants who were originally stunned, Liu Jing's white face softened backwards, and after holding on to the door frame to stabilize her figure, she quickly retreated backwards.

Everyone was panicked, and no one paid attention to Liu Jing leaving. Only her third sister Liu Xuan followed her with her little short legs and shouted, "Second sister, second sister ......"

Liu Jing entered her mother's room, and the maids had long since disappeared, Liu Jing stretched out her hand and pushed, and the door was wide open.

When Liu Xuan caught up with her sister panting with her little short legs, she happened to see Liu Jing walking out holding her mother's jewelry box. She exclaimed in a panic, "Second sister! ”

Her cry is not small, but Liu Jing is in a hurry, how can she hear it? Liu Xuan watched her second sister quickly enter the boudoir, and when she looked around in confusion, not knowing whether to continue to follow her sister or return to her mother, suddenly, the rough voice shouted like thunder: "Get out of your rough!" Liu, don't think that my family is a vegetarian! Go in and bring out all the valuable things in the Willow Mansion. In the midst of a rush of footsteps, the man shouted in a rough voice: "Liu, if you have a bright spot in your eyes, take out all the deed papers from the deed shop......

When he called here, Liu's mother's choked voice came, "The deed and the deed of the store have all been taken out by the husband to mortgage." ”

When the man heard this, he was furious, and he shouted, "Your lord's Liu Xingzhou! As soon as he called out here, someone seemed to have said something, and the man shouted, "Drag her daughter out!" Didn't you say that Liu Xingzhou had a beautiful second daughter? Take it back and let the adults relax! ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Mu seemed to be screaming. And the prodigals brought by the man have already rushed into the inner courtyard, Liu Xuan opened her frightened eyes, watching these wild men rampaging in her yard, several times, she was almost pushed down by these people.

I don't know how long it took, a voice shouted: "Big brother, the second aunt of the Liu family is not here." ”

"What?"

The man was obviously very annoyed, he casually pulled a maidservant and shouted, "Where is your second sister-in-law? ”

The maid trembled and cried, "No, I don't know what to do...... the man pushed the maid hard, "His lord, can her sister-in-law still run to the sky?" He turned to the crowd behind him and roared, "What are you doing there?" Go find it! ”

In the midst of a series of chaotic responses, Liu Mu collapsed on the collapse, and after a while, as if she remembered something, her desperate eyes brightened in an instant.

In a burst of knocking and beating, the people in Liufu crowded more and more, and squeezed more and more, almost less than half an hour, the creditors who knew that something had happened in Liufu all looked for the door, and the neighbors also looked at this side one by one.

As for the big man, after asking people to search for Liu Jing, he deliberately went back to his own adult, and when he came back an hour later, he sat on the collapse of the courtyard with a golden knife, and around him was the smashed and tattered Liufu courtyard, and Liu's mother was sitting on the collapse opposite him, holding her little daughter tightly in her hands, lowering her head and just sobbing.

As for the servants of the Liu Mansion, who were still coming and going, they had already run away at this time, and only a few old servants who had followed the Liu family for many years were standing behind her, with a panicked and uneasy expression.

The big man glared at Liu's mother for a while, and after putting a heavy palm on the table to make the four quiet, he grinned with yellow teeth and shouted at Liu's mother: "Mrs. Liu, my lord has let go, if you give him your second sister-in-law, he can not want the 1,000 taels of gold you owe." Otherwise, don't blame my adults for being ruthless and selling both of you mother and daughter to a brothel! When the big man said this, he thought to himself: The first-class beauty is worth two or three hundred taels now. The adults kept saying that they wanted Liufu to return him a thousand gold, but he really did something, and he really had the demeanor of a ranger.

Thinking that his own adults could also be called rangers, the big man grinned proudly.

When the big man waited impatiently, Liu Mu finally raised her head, through the scars across both cheeks, and the old flesh, you can also see the shadow of the former beauty, she looked at the big man with blank eyes for a while, and then said helplessly: "I, I find her ......"

Dahan stood up and waved his hand, "Three days, I'll give you three days!" Without waiting for Liu Mu to say anything, he waved his hand and swaggered away with his subordinates. As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, more than a dozen other people swarmed around the Liu family, and shouted nonsense: "Liu family, what about my family?" Your family also borrowed five taels of gold from my family. "And my family, God, our family is frugal, and the five hundred iron coins that we have saved hard have all been given to Xingzhou."

Listening to the noisy voices of the creditors crying or begging or scolding, Dahan thought that his own adult Jin didn't want it, so he just called the second aunt of the Liu family, so he turned his head sideways and spit out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, grinning with yellow teeth: "It's good to give birth to a beautiful daughter, people like adults, when they talk about the second sister-in-law of Liufu, everyone is crispy." ”

Dahan didn't wait for three days.

On the morning of the third day, when he had just swaggered to Liu's mother, who was surrounded by all the creditors, a sharp and powerful footstep came.

It was Uncle Wang, the descendant of Liufu, who ignored the staring eyes of all the creditors, rushed to Liu's mother with an arrow, and cried out with joy: "Madame, Madam, Da Lang is back!" ”

What the?

Liu Mu stood up and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say?" Who do you say is back? ”

"It's Da Lang, ma'am, Da Lang is back!"

Almost as soon as Uncle Wang's voice fell, he only heard the sound of neat footsteps. The footsteps were so firm and powerful that before they knew it, the crowd stopped making noise and looked back.

I saw that at the gate of Liufu, more than 20 men in green clothes rushed in, and as soon as they entered Liufu, they stood in two columns, and then, motionless!

Seeing this scene, all the creditors, you look at me and I look at you, and the big man also narrowed his eyes.

Just then, a gentle footstep came.

Then, a young man in a light robe appeared in front of them.

This young man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, his facial features were handsome and exquisite, his eyes were like a pool of spring water, warm and clear, and at first glance, he looked like a handsome Confucian student. After a closer look, everyone felt that there was an indescribable luxury in this young man. This kind of luxury is hidden under his face and engraved in his bones, so that his overly delicate and overly warm face reveals a taste that cannot be despised by people.

In the motionless two rows of people in Tsing Yi, the young man's clear eyes like spring water turned slightly from everyone and looked at Liu Mu with a shocked face. I saw him take a deep look at Liu's mother, and said loudly: "Mother-in-law, the child is back!" ”

The young man's voice was deliberately hoarse.

Liu Mu seemed to be frightened stupid, she stared at the young man for a while, and then called in a dumb voice: "You, you, you're back......" seemed to be stupid with excitement, and Liu Mu said this incoherently.

Liu Wenjing didn't wait for her to continue, "The child heard about the father's matter on the road, and the mother-in-law can rest assured that the child has sent someone to take care of it, and the father is not in danger of his life." ”

Liu Wenjing turned his head to look at the creditors, his eyes were unusually clear, and his voice was deliberately low, but also clear, "I already know about my father's debts. Gentlemen, although Wenjing is not talented, this family can still afford it. Can you give me three months? Within three months, Wen Jingding should pay off the debts owed by his father one by one! ”
