On the second day, amid the surprise of all the subordinates and the Liu Wu clan, Zhao Fuyi resigned and left Liufu. This caused an earthquake in Yanagifu. Several tenant long-term workers who were familiar with Zhao Fuyi took advantage of the send-off to inquire about the news, but no one took any useful information out of his mouth.

That Zhao Fuyi stiffened his face, just said that he was not in good health, no matter how much others asked, he didn't say a word, and silently left Liufu, leaving the mansion he had taken care of for more than 20 years.

Then a saying began to spread among the subordinates, from the stove to the storeroom, and from the storehouse to the back garden. It was said that Steward Zhao offended the newcomer Young Master Ming, so he was expelled from the door. As for this Young Master Ming, what kind of power can be made to make Steward Zhao, the land lord, leave the Liu Mansion immediately, no one can know.

Zhao Fuyi's parting, although Liu Xianda was full of questions, but he was suffering from people going to the shadow sky and had nowhere to find it, so he had to change to a new housekeeper. For the mansion compound of the forty or fifty people in Liufu, the departure of a housekeeper has become a topic of conversation for three or four days, and after that, everything will return to normal.

However, Mrs. Liu was pleasantly surprised to find that her favorite youngest son, Liu Yong, walked out of the haze of failing the imperial examination and took the initiative to ask for an errand to do. This made the old lady very happy. He immediately transferred out Renjitang, a medical hall on South Street in the county, and asked Liu Yong and Liu Yuanzhi brothers to take care of it together.

This Renjitang, the shop facing the street, sits in the north and faces south, and the market entrance is not bad. When Liu Ming is fine, he will go and take a look. The shop is spacious and clean, with a long big red sour branch wood medicine cabinet, on which is the portrait of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine. Inside the counter, there is a "hundred-eyed cabinet" containing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, and hundreds of medicinal materials are stored in small drawers according to the attributes of the five elements.

The two doctors took turns to ask for a consultation, because the Liujia pharmacy was a time-honored brand, so the business was quite passable. Seeing that his father and uncle were busy as if they had changed, and the family was in their own place, Liu Ming was very relieved.

For the pharmacy run by the uncle and father, Liu Ming is naturally dedicated. He used the Six Sigma management principles he had learned in his previous life to re-plan the process of picking up and dispensing medicines at the pharmacy, so that patients could pick up and dispense medicines faster. This made the father and uncle praise each other.

The old lady did not break his promise, and let Liu Ming go to the best Xianglin Academy in the county to study. Liu Ming went to the academy to report and officially became a student. These things that the ancients learned at the age of fifteen or sixteen can be considered to be able to cope with an elite who graduated from a key university and a member of the high-IQ club. In addition to the poor calligraphy of the brush, other subjects are also okay, and there are some advantages in subjects such as clear calculation. He believes that after another year of running-in and studying, he can also go to the examination room to test the water.

Life is like this, Liu Ming is already content. Eating and dressing, all have subordinates to serve. The college holds classes three days a week, and the rest of the time, students are asked to help with the family's farming. As a child of a rich family, Liu Ming naturally does not have to farm. When I have nothing to do, I talk about poetry with my uncle and tease my father. Occasionally, Liu Ming didn't take Liu Wu's eyes to heart, he had already entered the role of a big family son comfortably.

Life is always so wonderful, the family he lacked in the previous life, but in this life it has been filled.

Liu Ming is very satisfied with this comfortable and stable life in the deep mansion.

In his opinion, nothing could be more important than this home.

In the afternoon of this day, he ate and drank to his heart's content, and walked around the mansion, strolling around. Stop-and-go, unknowingly out the back door. Along the trail did not go a few hundred meters, it is a lotus pond, the surroundings are quiet and elegant, the scenery is pleasant, the willows on the embankment, the crows are not hidden, and the fragrance is taken advantage of the step to the mountain home.

In the evening, the remnant sun was crimson, and a purple-red mist like ceremonial flowers rolled out of the sky, rendering into layers of waves like a sea of fire clouds on the clear blue sky; In the distance, a few yellow trees were shining golden in the sun.

In the square lotus pond, the lotus leaves are blooming and a pond of green waves is accumulated. Looking from afar, the layers of wave lines, scattered and uneven, intertwined into a pond full of greenery.

Liu Ming was fascinated by the beauty of this pool, but he heard footsteps not far away, and out of cautious instinct, he unconsciously took a few steps back and hid in the woods.

A woman led a maid over. The woman, twenty-eight years old, with a delicate face, dressed in a plain white smoke gauze skirt, walked up, her willow waist swayed gently, and she was full of lotus flowers step by step, as if she was a beautiful girl. And the maid, who was only about ** years old, was jumping around dragging the hand of the woman in white, chattering and saying something.

"Miss, the luggage and books were sent to the house first. We'll just go straight to the house later. The maid said.

The woman in white smiled slightly and scratched the tip of the maid's nose: "Let's go to relatives, you are in someone's house, you have to be well-behaved." ”

The two walked to the lotus pond while chatting.

When the little maid saw the lotus in the pond, she clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Miss, are we good at rowing in the pool?" ”

"Huh?" The woman in white hesitated.

"Just once, once. I used to read with you every day, and I was tired of Xiaorou. It's hard to come to Qingzhou, so let's have a good time. The maid called "Xiaorou" pursed her lips and said.

"Good, good, good. Xiaorou, I really can't help you. Just once, let's go home early after playing. ”

The little lady jumped on the wooden boat with joy, picked up the pulp, and when the woman in white got into the boat, she rowed the oars.

"Xiaorou, you draw slowly." The woman in white sat upright in the boat and admonished uneasily.

At this time, the waves are sparkling, the water is not rising, the sunset, the lotus pond, the wooden boat, the girl, what a beautiful landscape painting.

Liu Ming was about to continue watching, but the leaf boat soon sailed into the depths of the lotus pond, covered by the towering lotus leaves, which made him a little lost, he walked out of the forest, along the bank of the lotus pond, wanting to continue to look for the leaf boat.

I walked along the lotus pond, but the towering lotus leaves blocked it, but I couldn't see it clearly. Just when he was bored and lost, and wanted to turn around and go home, he suddenly heard two calls from behind the lotus leaves.

"Slide out, or you'll be scolded by your father when you're going to come home late."

"Miss, don't worry, I'm looking for a way."

In an instant, dozens of perched egrets suddenly spread their wings and flew high, the lotus leaves went to both sides as if they had been broken by a knife, and a wooden boat rushed out, and Liu Ming was a few steps away from the shore.

The wooden boat galloped above the lotus like a surfboard, and the little soft rolled up her sleeves, holding the wood pulp, her face was flushed, and her expression was brave, while the woman in white behind her told her again and again, her face worried.

At this moment, the end of the wooden boat suddenly cocked. Then, the boat exclaimed.

"Plop, plop!"

In the lotus pond, there were two sounds of falling water.

When Liu Ming saw it, his heart sank, and the two people on the boat all fell into the water.

At this time, in the lotus pond, the two struggled desperately, and there was a fierce sound of splashing water, and the water surface was like boiling water, constantly tumbling, causing white waves.

Liu Ming didn't say a word, took off his clothes, plunged into the river with a fierce son, and swam quickly towards the two of them in the water.

He held up the nearest maid Xiaorou with one hand, and looked around the water, but there was no trace of the woman in white, thinking that it was too bad, the other party must have sunk to the bottom.

Liu Ming planned in his heart, at this time, if he sent Xiaorou to the shore first, and then rescued the woman in white, I am afraid it would be too late.

"Xiaorou, hold on to me." Liu Ming shouted in the water.

After Xiao Rou fluttered in the water a few times, her little face turned white with fright, and she hugged Liu Ming's waist tightly.

"Hold your breath and endure for a moment. The young lady is still underwater, and we have to sink to save her. Liu Ming paddled while admonishing Xiao Rou on his back.

"Good!" Xiao Rou also seemed to be infected by Liu Ming's spirit, and lay on Liu Ming's back, suddenly feeling a sense of security.

"We're going down!"

Liu Ming dived into the water like a hero.

But after a while, the hero surfaced, choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and exclaimed:

"Xiaorou, I asked you to hold on to me, not to let you blindfold me!"

“…… Don't pull your ears too hard! ”

"Grandma, don't strangle your neck......"

One person saving two people is an almost impossible task.

After tossing a few times, Liu Ming found that it was useless to go on like this, except for wasting physical strength, he caught a glimpse of the overturned wooden boat on the side, pushed the little soft onto the wooden boat, and after settling down, he turned around and went into the water to save the woman in white.

It was lucky that he didn't dive a few meters before he found the woman in white who was still struggling.

After several tosses and drags, Liu Ming finally pushed the two to the shore. He was lying on the shore and staring at him tiredly.

"Ahem...... cough" The woman in white choked a few mouthfuls of water, but she came to her senses, she sat up and shouted with concern: "Xiaorou, how are you?" ”

"Miss, it's good that you're okay." Xiao Rou hugged the woman in white tightly, and said with a face full of remorse, "Xiao Rou is wrong, Xiao Rou shouldn't row." ”

"Xiaorou, it's okay if you're okay." The woman in white was a little calmer, and when she saw Liu Ming also lying on the side, she covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Why is there still a man?" ”

"Oh......" The quirky little soft rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Miss, you just fell into the water, and I came to save you." Unexpectedly, there was a man in the water, and I rescued him together. ”

Liu Ming lay on the ground like a dead dog, and he didn't even have the strength to refute.

"You're talking nonsense again." The woman in white parted lightly and said with a smile: "You little girl, how can you save the two of you together." It's clear that someone saved us. ”

"Miss, let's go quickly, it's late, the master will scold." Xiaorou stood up, looked at the sunset, rubbed her lower abdomen and said, "I'm so hungry, so hungry." ”

"What is he going to do?" The woman in white was pulled up by Xiao Rou, and moved her gaze to Liu Ming again, a little embarrassed, after all, the other party saved herself.

"Don't worry about him, he's a big man." Xiao Rou said confidently.

Liu Ming thought to himself-

Very good.
