Xiaolian stood in front of the dock, boredly throwing leaves into the water, watching the leaves drift away with the water of the Xijiang River.

She felt as if her heart had drifted away.

Since the departure of the little official, this little girl has been a little distracted, and always feels that she has lost her backbone, although she is like Pingyuli, she gets up early every morning to exercise, after breakfast to review the homework left by the little official, in the afternoon she does some needlework and housework, and in the evening she uses the candlelight to review her homework for a while, and then goes to bed - but a booklet compiled by a little official, how many pages he turned when he left, and how many pages Xiaolian still sees now.

When the eyes were fixed on the page, the soul did not know where it had flown to.

When the big boat with the word "Yu" lantern finally appeared in her sight, she jumped up excitedly: "Little official, little official!" ”

At this time, there was still a long way away, and her voice was not loud, although she shouted at the top of her voice, but the people on the boat did not hear it. Xiaolian ran along the river bank in the direction of the boat, and waved her hand vigorously, which attracted the attention of the person at the bow of the boat, who was vaguely Erzhu, and he also waved his hand to this side.

Xiaolian stomped her feet, and she didn't wave to him!

At last she saw her little official, and he came out of the cabin, and now the boat was a little closer, and Xiaolian could see his face clearly, and he seemed to be smiling. This made Xiaolian's heart full of joy, and the soul that was said to be unguarded at these times did not exist at all.

The Sanmingwa boat docked on the small pier, Yu Guozhen looked at Xiaolian's smiling face, and the fatigue of the journey seemed to be swept away: "Xiaolian'er, are you okay these days?" ”

"Fortunately, the little officials have worked the road, Brother Erzhu is clumsy, where will he take care of people, and when the little officials go out in the future, they will still take the slaves with them...... Hey! ”

Xiao Lian'er, who was chattering, grabbed Yu Guozhen and patted the non-existent ash on his body for him, and then saw that the curtain of the cabin was lifted, and a girl with a three-girl bun walked out. Xiao Lian'er is beautiful and a little beauty in Xiang'an, but when she saw this girl, the first thought in her heart was to be ashamed of herself.

Then there was a strong sense of unease, this girl is so beautiful, those black and white bright smart eyes, and she can speak, how can there be such a girl around the little official?

As her mind turned, Xiao Lian'er couldn't hide anything on her face, and her smile froze.

She is afraid, like the Gao family father and son, she is also a disaster victim, if it is not for Yu Guozhen to take her in, she will either be sold to Yangzhou as a thin horse, or she will become a starvation on the side of the road. She didn't dare to imagine what she would do if the petty official had another handmaid by her side and would no longer need her!

"Sister Xiaolian." Liu Ru smiled sweetly at her, compared to Xiaolian, Liu Ru was much more alert, she felt Xiaolian's faint hostility: "The slave's surname is Liu, the name is like this, she is the new maid of the petty official, and she will be sent by Sister Xiaolian in the future." ”

"If so...... Younger sister...... Sister ......" Xiaolian called Liu Ruis in a bit of a panic, originally wanted to call her sister along with Liu Ruyi, but according to her age, it seemed that Liu Ru was older, she changed and changed, she always felt that it was inappropriate, and finally called her sister in a daze.

Liu Ru pursed her lips and smiled, and took her hand: "My sister is so good-looking, I have heard from the little officials since Suzhou Mansion that my sister is his most intimate one. ”

Hearing her say this, the hostility in Xiaolian's heart immediately faded, she became happy again, secretly glanced at Yu Guozhen, and said with a smile: "Sister is really good-looking, when I first saw it, I thought it was the person in the painting who came out!" ”

Yu Guozhen glanced at Liu Ru is and smiled slightly, he didn't bother to pay attention to the thoughts of the little girls, so he should leave it to them to deal with it themselves.

Yu Guozhen had been out for half a month before and after this trip, so it was already the end of summer, and the rice in the field hung his head in a deep heart. In the midst of the golden rice waves, Liu Ru saw a white courtyard wall, like a jade belt, hiding the houses behind it.

Outside the gate of the courtyard wall is a sand-paved road, which is quite flat, which shows that there are people who maintain it every day. There are various saplings planted on both sides of the road, including the common mulberry willow camphor poplar and some trees that are not recognizable by willows. The road was divided into two branches, one leading to the town in the distance, and the other to the small wharf where they had landed, and the road was a little wet because of the sprinkling of water every day, so that there was almost no dust.

Just by glancing at it, Liu Ru liked it because she knew that she would live here in the future.

From the dock to the courtyard gate, less than a hundred steps, Liu Ru only walked a few steps, and then heard a strange password, and then, a group of teenagers holding white wax rods, from the courtyard out of the stream, a total of seventeen people, divided into two columns on the left and right.

This group of young people wore exactly the same clothes, and the clothes looked a little strange, like the tight short clothes worn by martial artists, and like the clothes worn by Hongyi, but they were ironed neatly and looked extremely cool.

Liu Ru has seen the performance of the officers and soldiers of the Daming Guard, which is not so much a performance as a farce. Therefore, when the group of teenagers came out silently, and the steps were in unison, and the young man at the head made clean and neat movements, these made her look at it with relish.

Then she noticed that Gao Erzhu, who had been following Yu Guozhen, also showed an excited look on his face.

The young man at the head was Gao Dazhu, and after he ordered everyone to stand up, he turned around and ran to Yu Guozhen, and suddenly punched his chest: "Official, seventeen young guards are here, please command!" ”

This scene was actually not requested by Yu Guozhen, so they did this to Yu Guozhen was also a little surprised, but he also understood that this must be Dazhu's simple idea, in order to prove that in the more than ten days he left, the young guards were not lazy, so he made such a ceremony.

However, seeing this ceremony, Yu Guozhen was still very happy in his heart, since these teenagers were selected to start training, it has only been more than three months, and they already have a certain appearance.

"Pause!" He commanded.

The teenagers let go of one foot, but after two breaths, Yu Guozhen ordered again: "Lizheng!" ”

With a brush, the teenagers' heels slammed together at the same time, the sound was uniform, Liu Ru saw the strange light, she turned her face sideways to look at Yu Guozhen, there were doubts in her face, but also excitement brought by the fresh stimulation.

"If so, my sister stays here with me." Xiaolian saw Yu Guozhen stepping forward, and Liu Ru seemed to want to follow, so she grabbed her and whispered in her ear.

This is the rule, Yu Guozhen wants to review, and at this time, he is the only one who has this right, and no one else can be parallel with him.

Yu Guozhen passed through the queue, turned around when he came to the gate of the courtyard, and nodded with satisfaction: "Bring some Jinhua ham back, add dinner tonight." ”

"Wow!"

For these teenagers, meat eating is nothing new, although they have never lost their thirst for fish. As for the long-famous Jinhua ham, they had never eaten it before, so they were still very excited after listening to Yu Guozhen's words.

Excitedly, there was also Yu Yiqin, when he heard that Yu Guozhen was back, he immediately rode a mule and rushed over, and after getting the news that Zhou Daodeng had died, he was dumbfounded: "Guozhen, this, this...... Didn't you say that you don't need to use such means? ”

"He was scared to death by himself, no wonder I am." Yu Guozhen said lightly.

Going hundreds of miles away to scare a Zhishige elder to death seems to be as simple as just going a few miles away to pick a peach. Yu Yiqin already felt that he was impressed with this cousin, but now, he felt that his attitude seemed to be a little insufficient......

And a dignified old man, how can he not be an ignorant stupid old man, how can he scare a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy to death!

Yu Yiqin scratched his head, a little sad, this question is not something he can figure out, and he doesn't bother to think about it, now that the entire Yu family is one, it is impossible for him to withdraw.

"Are there any troubles?" He asked.

"The second uncle just rest assured, there will be no trouble." Yu Guozhen knew what he was worried about: "The Zhou family only thought that he was dying." ”

When the two uncles and nephews were talking, not far from Xiang'an Town, two big boats were leaning on the shore. A man in short clothes hurried out of the town of Xiang'an, he greeted him from the shore, and a gangway was put out of the bow of the boat, and he was picked up.

"Bian Jiu, did you say this is it?" As soon as he got on the boat, someone shouted.

"This is it, the thief bird is here, Xiang'an Yu's family, I have inquired, the Xiang'an that the two stupid birds said is this, but their Yu family is a big family in Xiang'an, and they have some family members at home."

"Hmph, it's just a servant of one or twenty, what is it!" The man sneered: "We are from Suzhou Mansion, but there are more than fifty people!" ”

"That gang of thieves and birds harmed Boss Tang, and made us lose face in Suzhou Mansion, everyone knows that fighting in Suzhou Mansion is to rely on a dough to eat, and who cares about us if we lose face!" In the midst of the noise, a person said loudly: "There is a debtor and a debtor, fortunately, those two stupid birds told Brother Hao that they are from Xiang'an, Wuwei in Luzhou." It took us a lot of effort to chase from Suzhou to this poor country, and now that it's finally here, we have to teach them a hard lesson! ”

"Lessons? We've traveled hundreds of miles just to teach him a lesson? The other person said in a dark voice: "Brother Fei is still soft-hearted, since we are here, we naturally want to take their dogs' lives!" ”

These are all people in the Suzhou Mansion, and a small half of them have human lives in their hands, and as for the abduction, extortion, and the like, they have done a lot of things, and when they heard that they were going to kill people, these people didn't care.

"Ladies and gentlemen, having said that, this is not our Suzhou after all, so it's better to be careful." Brother Fei was a little unhappy: "You don't want to be captured by the government, right?" ”

Everyone laughed, they really don't take the government very seriously, usually they bully and oppress the good and cheat, what can the government do to them?

"What is this mess about!" At this moment, a person said slowly: "Shut up for me!" ”

As soon as this person spoke, everyone who was originally laughing closed their mouths, and this person stood up, a tall and sturdy man, a little similar to the liar brother who was thrown into the river by Yu Guozhen and them, and his eyes flashed with a cold light: "Tonight, if you can touch the town, you can slaughter it, and you can rob it, so isn't the Yu family a big family?" That's just right, I can't let you brothers avenge my untalented brother in vain! ”

"That's what Chief He said!" Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, and a greedy light shot out of their eyes.

They are nominally in Suzhou, but there is another identity behind the scenes, that is, Taihu Lake water thieves! ―――――――― dividing line―――――― (fifteenth, 3,000 points away from the twelfth, it's all up to everyone's help, please come on!) ）
