"Childe, are you really leaving?" Xiaoyu's eyes were red, and she couldn't hold back any longer, tears welled up in her eyes.

Since Childe came back last night to tell him the news that he was leaving, Xiaoyu cried all night, four months is not a long time, but it is her happiest time, but the taste of happiness just tasted has turned into a bubble, since it is a flower in the mirror, then why does it appear again?

Li Qing put down his luggage, took a deep breath, pressed her shoulder and said, "I told you last night, you can stay here for a few more years, and when I have a small achievement, I will definitely come back and return your freedom, this is a promise, understand?" ”

"But!" Xiaoyu looked up with tears on her face, the breakup was imminent, and she could no longer suppress the sadness of parting.

Li Qing patted her shoulder lightly and said, "Take care!" He gritted his teeth, pushed away Xiaoyu, picked up his luggage and strode out of the courtyard gate, and the two little guys hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

Xiaoyu rushed out of the room, leaning on the courtyard door and staring at Li Qing's back desperately, tears gradually blurring her vision.

"Li Gongzi!" Her lips cried out in mournful.

Last night, Xian Yu's family set Zhang Qiu's future, then he Li Qing also completed his mission, which was originally a one-year contract, but it ended in less than half a year.

Zhang Qiu wanted to return to Yilong, Li Qing naturally had to follow, everything was put in the carriage, Zhang Qiu had already gotten into the carriage to avoid the scorching sun, and Li Qing only looked at this incomparably huge Xianyu Mansion with nostalgia for the end.

Suddenly, all the servants lowered their heads and stepped aside, and the eldest lord Xian Yu Zhongtong slowly walked down the steps and smiled at Li Qing: "I heard Zhang Qiu say that you will resign from the position of Xixi when you return to Zhang's mansion, but is it true?" ”

Li Qing nodded.

"And what did you think about in the future?"

Li Qing shook his head again.

Xian Yu Zhongtong pondered for a moment and said: "My business in Chengdu is quite large, I ask you to be a deacon for me, forty yuan per month, double at the end of the year, are you willing to do it?" ”

Forty times a month, more than five hundred times a year, which is equivalent to an annual salary of 500,000 yuan today, how tempting it is, but Li Qing still smiled slightly and said: "The eldest lord's heart, Li Qing is grateful, it's just that I want to do something by myself, this long-term taste is really uncomfortable, can the eldest lord understand?" ”

He really longs for freedom, longs to be able to let go of his fists and kick his own sky, no matter how much money he has, he will work for others, he doesn't do it!

Xian Yu Zhongtong smiled regretfully: "I also told Mr. Yan that you need to go out to hone for a few years, or if you are extraordinary, you will have great success sooner or later." He took out a brief from his sleeve and said, "This is a gift from Mr. Yan, you don't have time to say goodbye to him, so you will often come to see him in the future." ”

Li Qing opened it, a plain white paper slip, a faint line of words: "Honghu flies high, a thousand miles in one fell swoop", the fragrance of ink still exists, he suddenly realized the warmth behind this stern gentleman, Li Qing's eyes were sour, closed slightly, and after a while, he put the book into his arms and said: "Please tell Mr. Yan that if I succeed in the future, it will all be because of him." ”

"And this" Xian Yu Zhongtong handed over a silver ring and said: "Based on this, if you have any difficulties, come to me." ”

"Mr. Xian Yu cares, and Li Qing also remembers it in his heart!"

The carriage started slowly, Li Qing waved goodbye one by one, and at the moment when the carriage turned, he suddenly saw a long figure appear by a wall, thin as a penny, lonely, staring at his carriage and disappearing into the distance.

"Sir!" Li Qing threw himself in front of the window and waved goodbye to him, his eyes and nose were sour, and tears poured into his eyes.

．．．．．．

"You're resigning?" Zhang Yuanwai was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, according to the agreement, if Li Qing did it for less than a year, he would have to pay him ten yuan.

"Both uncles promised that the young master would not have to take the township examination again, even so, there was no need for me to stay, so I decided to resign."

"But—" Zhang Yuanwai just wanted to mention the matter of ten yuan money, but he felt a huge pain in his thigh, and it was Mrs. Zhang who squeezed him on the leg.

"This old killer, people have a great favor to his son, but he can't forget that bullshit contract." Mrs. Zhang's eyes were a little gloomy, and she was reluctant to let Li Qing go, but she also understood that she couldn't keep Li Qing no matter what.

"Zhang Cai!"

Zhang Cai came in at the call, he had changed to the housekeeper's line, and he hadn't seen him for a few months, and his face was a little sophisticated.

"Go! Go to the tent and pay five taels of silver. Mrs. Zhang took out an ivory pick from the gold-painted box beside her, handed it to Zhang Cai, and saw that Zhang Yuanwai swallowed saliva, and after Zhang Fu was driven away, he completely lost power, and even went to the street to listen to books and drink tea.

Zhang Cai quickly brought a plate up, and Mrs. Zhang handed the silver to Li Qingdao: "This is your salary for half a year, you should take it, I won't give you much else, a good man should be ambitious in all directions, Yilong is too small, not a place you should stay." ”

Li Qing silently took the silver, only half a year after coming to the Tang Dynasty, he had come into contact with so many people and things, as if he had spent a few years, he was in a complicated mood, bowed down and bowed and said: "Master, madam, then I will leave." ”

Zhang Qiu didn't know where he had gone, and he wanted to say goodbye to him, but it was impossible, Li Qing shook his head and wanted to leave, as if he heard someone calling him from behind, and after a closer look, it was Zhang Cai who hurriedly ran up.

"Li Gongzi" Zhang Cai panted and handed over a small cloth bag and said: "Here is five hundred yuan, it is a little bit of my heart and Lotus, not much, but please accept it." ”

"Thank you!" Li Qing took the money with a smile and asked again, "Are you married?" ”

Zhang Cai nodded, but the corners of his mouth showed a trace of bitterness: "She, she doesn't seem to have changed much." ”

Li Qing understood what he meant, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Finally, I will teach you a trick: two pieces of clothes are the two plackets of clothes, and children are buttons, do you understand?" After Li Qing finished speaking, he laughed and left, leaving Zhang Cai who suddenly realized.

Out of the gate of Zhangfu, the outside was bright and the sun was a little dazzling, Li Qing suddenly realized that dinner and accommodation were gone, and he was chic when he left, but he didn't think about the actual problems, and he hadn't even thought about what he would do in the future? He suddenly felt a bitterness in his heart, was it a bit stupid for him to refuse Xian Yu Zhongtong's high salary.

There are only five taels of silver in his hand, and the five hundred yuan sent by Zhang Cai, and everything else is gone, "Let's take one step at a time!" Li Qing sighed and walked towards the farewell bridge.

Sitting on the bridge, he pondered for a moment, the only way to do this is to do a small business first, sell cheap and expensive, and accumulate capital, just like the fortune teller, thinking of the fortune teller, and remembering what he said to himself: "In the future, if you engage in business, you will get rich." ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly, when he was in Xianyufu, he still thought about entering the official career through the imperial examination, but in the end he still embarked on the business road, this old man really calculated accurately, and he didn't know if he was there, so he could calculate his life again for himself and point out a clear way.

He stood up and looked under the bridge with a curtain, but saw that there was a large crowd of people in the place where their grandfather and grandson had set up a stall, and some people rushed to watch from time to time. Li Qing was shocked and hurriedly ran to the onlookers.

Without waiting to get closer, Li Qing saw that the onlookers had different expressions, some were pitying, some were sighing, some were smiling, and a few gangsters laughed and said: "Little lady, we are still young, wouldn't it be faster to live with us!" ”

He was even more shocked in his heart, and hurriedly opened a crack and squeezed in, only to see the little lady sitting on the high stool where the fortune teller often sits, with her head down, staring at the tip of her shoes, but there was a grass mark on the green silk, and there was a card next to it, and there were only four shocking bright red characters on the card: Sell yourself and bury your ancestors!

"The blind old man is dead?" Li Qing's mind was in chaos, and at this time, there was a black, fat and greasy middle-aged man squatting in front of Xiao Niang, who was looking at her face from the bottom up, the hue in his eyes could not be concealed, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his throat and said: "These three times are more expensive, and we will make a deal for two times!" ”

The little lady shook her head lightly and said firmly: "My grandfather has been lonely all his life, and he just wants to give him a good place to bury, and Mr. doesn't want to forget it." ”

"Sanguan?" The man muttered, he circled around the little lady again, his eyes carefully examined her various figures and the complexion on her neck, and finally nodded and gritted his teeth and said: "Three times through three times, let's make a deal!" ”
