"Miss ......" Seeing Shen Qiao'an's worried look, the jade warbler next to her coughed lightly.

"Miss, you're back, but it's not good, it's annoying to get in the car all the way, please go to the inner room to rest." The old man came to Fu, not to mention how happy he was to see the young lady come back.

"How many people are there in our family?" Shen Qiaoan turned his eyes and looked at Laifu, the old man shook his white-haired head, sighed and said: "After Mrs. went, in the past two or three years, we have been sitting on empty mountains and eating empty mountains, and we often can't maintain expenses, and I am old again, where can I maintain this business, speaking of which, there are only about a dozen people." ”

When Shen Qiaoan heard this, his mood sank a lot, and after a long time, he took a breath, "Don't be afraid, and me." ”

That night, in addition to the things in the flower hall, Laifu asked people to clean up the house, Shen Qiaoan fell asleep, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, she stared at the bright starry sky outside, sometimes missing her mother, sometimes like the status quo here.

"Miss, aren't you sleeping yet?" Yuying looked at Shen Qiao'an, and Shen Qiao'an sighed, "I'm touching the scene, you just go to bed early, and you'll be busy tomorrow." ”

"Miss, it's better to sell this house, you also saw it today, the house is also in disrepair, and the yard is overgrown with weeds.

"Yuying, here are all the sweet memories of my mother and father, I think, if my father comes here in the future and sees things here, I am afraid that I will be sad." Shen Qiaoan sighed.

Yuying is not good for pessimism, but after all, I still feel that it is impossible to wait for the master to come back.

Yuying said: "It's been so many years, Miss, you are also a teenager, if the master is willing to come back, I'm afraid that he has already returned, but now it seems that the master is afraid that he will not come back." ”

The flame of hope in Shen Qiao's head was also extinguished little by little, and it was also cooling down little by little, but Shen Qiaoan smiled, "Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven, okay, rest early." ”

That night, Li Zhongxuan's horse also arrived in Yougu County, Sha Pingwei found a clean inn, and the three of them stayed, in order not to let outsiders see their relationship, Li Zhongxuan ordered them, in front of people, to hand themselves over to the eldest brother.

Therefore, everyone called them brothers, and they chatted along the way, and when they arrived at a place, they ate the food of that place, which was completely for tourism, and the three of them tacitly did not mention anything about the rebellion of King Qi.

"The pear blossoms in Yougu County are good, Son, you can taste it." Sha Pingwei said while pouring the wine, the pear blossom white, is made of pear blossom petals, its taste is naturally different.

Holding the wine glass, Li Zhongxuan ate the wine, but he stroked his palms and laughed, and the three of them were also happy to guess the order.

They were stationed here, Li Zhongxuan began to observe King Qi's every move, and sure enough, the day after he arrived here, Chen Dongye also arrived, Chen Dongye seemed to have a very good relationship with King Qi, and the two talked and laughed.

On the second day of coming to Yougu County, early in the morning, after Shen Qiao'an got up, he took out the silver ticket, took out twenty taels, and gave it to Yuying, "Find bricklayers and migrant workers to come over and weed the courtyard and repair the house." ”

Yuying knew Shen Qiao'an's thoughts, and hurriedly went to arrange, there were a lot of weeds, but the people who came were also diligent, and before the moon was on the willow tops, the weeds had been cleaned up, Shen Qiao'an asked the old family to plant some fruits and vegetables in the open space, and then discussed the future plan with the old man.

"Now, how much land and land do we still have in our family, and what about the title deeds, what will happen to us in the future?" Shen Qiaoan looked at Laifu, who was already ready, opened a box, and sighed: "In the past few years, it has been my fault, but everyone here also has to support their families, so they sold a small part." ”

"Old man, you sit and say, you have done so much for our family, don't say that you have sold a small part, even if it is sold out, what about it? It is already a grace for me that you have left behind this group of loyal girls and mothers-in-law. ”

Shen Qiaoan poured a cup of tea and delivered it to the old man.

"Old butler, I will bother you to take care of you in the future, so I will toast you with tea instead of wine." The old man held the teacup, and after drinking it, the old man burst into tears.

Shen Qiaoan looked at the title deed and found that there was only one house, and it was this old mansion. As for the land, there is not a lot of land, and in the past two or three years, no one has reclaimed it, and it has been abandoned, which is a top priority, and it is necessary to find tenants to reclaim it.

Let's look down, the good thing is that in the county town, there are shops, she counted them, although the shops are closed, but the ownership is still there, thinking of this, Shen Qiaoan smiled.

"Yuying, take out five hundred taels of silver, leave it for the old family to make up for it, tomorrow, Yuyan will stay to supervise the work, and Yuying and I will go to the city to see the house." Shen Qiao'an went to Yougu County this time, and he was ready to show his strength.

With this arrangement, Yuying and Yuyan nodded again and again.

Shen Qiaoan went to look in the store and found that although the shop was dirty, the area was very large, and after it was cleaned, she was ready to do business by herself, and she still needed to go to the city to inspect it in the past few days.

Therefore, in the past three or five days, it was a two-headed run, and after Shen Qiao'an's observation, it was concluded that the spices in Yougu County are second to none in Central Kyoto, and the production of iron and iron shops in Yougu County is also a must, in addition to these, it is the catering industry.

She didn't dare to gamble too much at once, but when she got there, she opened a spice shop to sell rouge gouache, and opened a blacksmith shop to do ironware business.

Yuying smiled and threw a purse away, "Miss, I really can't imagine it, this spice is so powerful?" Put it on a person's body, it can retain such a long breath, you say, did the lady use spices to attract the master? ”

Hearing Yuying say this, Shen Qiaoan smiled, "This is called Wanlixiang, which is made from the fruit of a vine pod, and Wanli Xiangxiang has a wide range of uses, such as ......" Speaking of this, Shen Qiaoan seems to have met an old acquaintance here.

She looked intently at the fork in the road next to her, and the three of them walked away, and Joan seemed to find that the man standing in the middle was ...... Li Zhongxuan.

"Miss...... What's the use, you say? "Yuying's appetite has dropped, so naturally she wants to get to the bottom of it.

"Speaking of this in the future, who do you see who that is?" Shen Qiaoan pointed to his back, Yuying observed for a moment, and said, "It's impossible, it seems to be Li Gongzi, the eldest son of Zhenguo Gonggong, why is he here?" ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Shen Qiaoan said as he walked forward.

Yuying followed behind Shen Qiao'an, and when she saw Li Zhongxuan and others entering the restaurant, Shen Qiaoan also climbed the stairs, thinking that her eyes were dazzling, but when she looked at it, it was really Li Zhongxuan.

Without waiting for Shen Qiaoan to say something, Li Zhongxuan also discovered her, and said with a smile: "Coincidence, coincidence, why are you here?" ”

"Come back to Ning, take a look at the family by the way." In fact, where does Shen Qiaoan still have a family? Her so-called "family members" are just a group of servant women who were loyal to their mothers back then, and in her heart, these hard-working people are family members.

Li Zhongxuan didn't go to the bottom of it, pointed to the two people next to him and introduced: "These two are my friends, this one is called Sha Pingwei, and this one is called Chasing the Wind." ”

Shen Qiaoan looked the two up and down, and couldn't tell what these two people were doing, but Sha Pingwei smiled, "You are Shen Qiaoan?" ”

"How do you know about me?" Shen Qiaoan smiled.

Na Sha Pingwei said: "You are different from the girl they raised in the deep boudoir, at the banquet of Old Madam Gu before, you and I had a relationship, but it is just that the girl and your noble people forget things." Shen Qiaoan tried hard to recall, but he couldn't recall who the other party was.

Simply leave this section out of the way.

"It's mine, it's not me, it turns out that I met an old acquaintance in a foreign land." Shen Qiaoan smiled softly, Na Sha Pingwei nodded again and again, and said a playful hometown dialect, and the teasing Shen Qiaoan smiled, "It turns out that you are also a native of Yougu County?" ”

"No, the dirt has to be scum." Na Sha Pingwei smiled and picked up a piece of glutinous rice balls, "This is the best thing to eat in our Yougu County, when I was a child, my family was poor and couldn't afford to eat, but now I don't want to eat it." ”

The two talked back and forth, talking very much, and Li Zhongxuan next to him couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

After eating, coming down from upstairs, Li Zhongxuan invited Shen Qiaoan to take a walk, Shen Qiaoan nodded, and followed Li Zhongxuan outside, although Yougu County is not as good as Dijing, but it is a miniature version of Tongdu Dayi.

Here, at night, it was actually very lively, people were coming and going, and the two were walking, and suddenly Li Zhongxuan conjured up a string of sugar gourds like a trick and gave it to Shen Qiaoan.

Shen Qiaoan smiled and looked at Li Zhongxuan, but did not take it.

"Led by the way?" Shen Qiaoan smiled, but he didn't know when he unleashed his skill.

Li Zhongxuan smiled, "Don't all girls like this?" ”

"Yes." Shen Qiaoan held the sugar gourd, "Life is too bitter, you should give yourself some sweetness." Having said that, she didn't eat, she walked with a heavy heart, Li Zhongxuan walked beside her, and she had already seen her heart.

"What? Not happy? ”

"Definitely," Shen Qiaoan leaned on the covered bridge, looking into the distance, there were colorful lights on the other side of the river, flickering, and the color looked so beautiful, "I haven't been back for a long time, and I suddenly miss my mother." ”

He laughed, "Lord Lingtang must be very kind. ”

In fact, for Mrs. Shen, Shen Qiao'an doesn't have a lot of memories, "If my mother doesn't miss my father like that, I'm afraid that I can live a few more years, my mother is exhausted, when I was a child, I always saw my mother looking towards the east, I thought my mother was hoping that the purple gas would come to the east, and later Laifu told me that my father came from the east to Yougu County." ”
