On the side of Shouchun City, the seedlings are green.

Sister Liu sat on the silk cloth with her knees crossed, looking at Biye in a daze. No one who was plowing and passing by noticed that this lonely and helpless woman was actually the owner of Wanxiang Building, the largest gold cave in the city.

Shouchun is located in Huaixi, where mountains and rivers depend on each other, the grass is green and the lake is green, the green peaks are stacked, and the scenery is pleasant. But beauty is born from the heart, if the heart is not here, no matter how good the scenery is, it is boring in the eyes.

Since Muhai and Liu Xiang'er left, in the past five days, Sister Liu has been tormenting day and night, not thinking about tea and dinner, and spending every day in remorse and guilt. She hated the domineering and bullying of the officials, and she also hated herself for being cowardly and useless, and she didn't dare to disobey You Nanxi. She wanted to send someone to report the news quickly, but she couldn't make up her mind to abandon her wealth.

Sister Liu was also a young lady in the family, but her family was in decline, and she was in the middle of the road. When she was young, she was as beautiful as a flower, and she was versatile, and after she put down her body to pick up customers, she naturally made money every day. Later, she accumulated a lot of savings, and finally started a new stove and single-handedly founded this Wanxianglou.

Sister Liu really regards Liu Xianger as her daughter in her heart. When she saw Liu Xiang'er for the first time, Liu Xiang'er was twelve years old, and although Xiao Xiang'er was living on the street at that time, her face was full of dirt and ragged clothes, but she couldn't hide her natural appearance. Sister Liu was overjoyed when she saw it, and brought Liu Xiang'er into Wanxiang Building to freshen up and dress up for food.

Liu Xiang'er changed into a clean skirt, carved in pink and jade, and her slim appearance, Sister Liu loved it even more. But Liu Xiang'er knelt down at this time to thank Sister Liu, and said that she was the daughter of a criminal minister and did not dare to affect others.

Sister Liu was suspicious in her heart, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Xiang'er, aren't you afraid that I will sue the official if you tell the truth?

What Liu Xiang'er said at that time, Sister Liu still remembers it clearly: Xiao Xiang'er said - Liu Xu's daughter, whether she lives or dies, has clear grievances. You are kind to me, if the incident of the east window of the day affects your suffering, Liu Xiang'er will not be able to atone for her sins, so I will make it clear.

Sister Liu looked at Xiao Xiang'er who was kneeling on the ground, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, this girl was cute no matter her appearance and personality. Since then, Sister Liu has treated Xiang'er as a daughter.

Sister Liu originally did not agree with Liu Xiang'er to show her face, with her money, Liu Xiang'er could have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. But Xiang'er thought about her father's revenge and insisted on taking the name of Oiran in order to seek a chance for revenge, and Sister Liu didn't stop her too much.

Actually, in Sister Liu's opinion, being a prostitute is not a big deal, what did she do when she was young in order to establish Wanxianglou? Besides, women don't always have to serve men.

On the night five days ago, when You Nanxi found Sister Liu and forced her not to show up to spoil his good deeds, You Nanxi promised never to hurt Xiang'er, so Sister Liu agreed.

In Sister Liu's opinion, even if Xiang'er is already Muhai's woman, as long as she protects her life, there is nothing wrong with serving You Nanxi again, and she can still be prosperous and rich for a lifetime.

Love, love, or something, Sister Liu has never experienced it, and she doesn't believe in those things. As for revenge, it was originally a thousand difficulties, and it was not necessarily a bad thing to lose her thoughts. It's just that Sister Liu is still afraid that Xiang'er will die, and a good woman will not serve her second husband, so she will kill herself. Therefore, she has been worried in her heart for the past few days, she can't sleep at night, she is always mentally troubled during the day, and she is listless in doing anything.

"Sister Liu, Sister Liu."

When Sister Liu heard the turtle call her, she didn't turn around, thinking that she was calling her to eat again, but where did she have an appetite?

"Sister Liu," Gui Gong stepped forward and said in a low voice, "You Nanxi has been carried back......

"Bring it back? He's hurt? When Sister Liu heard the news that it was You Nanxi, her heart tightened, "That...... What about Xiang'er? ”

"I didn't see Miss, but You Nanxi was not injured, but dead. He was carried back in a coffin. Turtle Gong whispered.

"Dead?!" Sister Liu was taken aback, and her voice was sharp.

He's dead? Plans failed?

Gui Gong was startled and said, "Sister Liu, be quiet, I only saw a dozen or so members of the You family coming back from riding a high-headed horse, pulling a few coffins behind, saying that one of them is You Nanxi's." ”

Sister Liu got up suddenly and said anxiously: "Where are the people, I'll take a look." ”

"Outside the Binyang Gate, I haven't entered the city gate yet."

Sister Liu didn't delay, lifted her skirt, and ran towards Binyang Gate in the east of the city, not caring about the muddy shoes on the way.

After Sister Liu disappeared like a smoke, Gui Gong muttered in a low voice while cleaning up the silk cloth that Sister Liu had stepped on: You also teach me every day to do things in a hurry and be organized, look at you, everything has fallen.

When Sister Liu rushed to Binyang Gate out of breath, the You family's servants had disappeared. Sister Liu panted regardless of her appearance, wiped the sweat beads on her head with her sleeve, and her face was full of disappointment: This group of rabbit cubs ran fast, and the old lady rushed this way in vain, and almost didn't exhaust me to death.

Sister Liu looked left and right for a long time, and finally confirmed that there was no trace of the You family's followers at all, and she jumped to her feet with hatred, but she had no choice but to return in vain. She didn't have the heart to go to the suburbs again, so she walked along the main road of Binyang Gate to Wanxianglou.

When Sister Liu walked to the door of Wanxiang Building in a gloomy manner, she saw someone waiting for her at the door. That person, Sister Liu, looked at Yan Shan, although she couldn't name it, but she was sure that he was one of the You family's horse team, and she couldn't help but get nervous in her heart.

When Hu Cong saw Sister Liu, he arched his hand and said, "I was entrusted by someone to give Sister Liu a letter, can I enter the house and talk about it?" ”

Sister Liu understood what he meant, and this matter must be kept secret, so she nodded and said, "Please come with me." Sister Liu led him through the lobby of Wanxianglou to Xiang'er's former boudoir, and said eagerly: "There is no one here, you can rest assured." ”

Hu Cong looked left and right before he smiled: "This matter is very important, and no one should know about it." If you offend, please also invite Sister Liu Haihan. ”

Sister Liu was anxious, nodded, and said secretly: You are really long-winded.

Hu took out the crumpled envelope in his arms, handed it to Sister Liu with both hands, and said, "This is Miss Xiang'er's letter." ”

Sister Liu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, no matter what, Xiang'er is alive. took the envelope and hurriedly tore it open, and on the letter paper was Xiang'er's Juanxiu handwriting, and the title at the beginning was "Sister Liu Cijian". Sister Liu's heart stone fell to the ground completely, and Xiang'er used "Cijian" to blame her, and still regarded her as a relative and elder.

Sister Liu then looked down: "After a few days of farewell this time, I expect that Sister Liu will be uneasy." This letter is specially written, one details the recent situation, and the other asks for ...... "Sister Liu couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes when she saw this, this girl is so sensible at all times."

“…… Gongzi has pity, Xiang'er lives here like a fish in water, and enjoys every day, Sister Liu should not worry. In the past few days, accidents have occurred frequently, several life and death, Xiang'er woke up in vain: It is gratifying to have a great wish, if it is not repaid, it can serve the son for a lifetime, and Xiang'er has no hatred...... "Xiang'er said vaguely, but Sister Liu knew that she was talking about revenge for her father.

Sister Liu was naturally overjoyed that Xiang'er could think so, but she was curious in her heart how Muhai convinced such an arrogant girl as Xiang'er. Sister Liu naturally didn't know that Xiang'er's heart was fought hard by Mu Hai.

“…… The nature of the jackal of Younanxi chooses the time to hurt people, but his plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea has now been revealed, and he has reaped the consequences. When she first heard that Sister Liu knew and didn't tell her, Xiang'er was sad, but the son was enlightened step by step, and Xiang'er could also understand Sister Liu's difficulties. Now the plan is not to mention this matter, and You Nanxi's death is also said to be a bandit death, and Sister Liu keeps it in mind. The You brothers escorted Gongzi to Surabaya, encountered mountain bandits, and were caught off guard, Gongzi was injured, and You Nanxi died. You Nanshan was very sad, but he focused on the overall situation, so that more than ten horsemen collected their bodies and returned to the city to report the funeral, and the rest of them continued to escort the son forward...... "Although Sister Liu didn't know the process of the accident, she could guess the danger, and she couldn't help but secretly sweat for Xiang'er.

“…… The night is long and sometimes ends, and after the rain it will eventually clear. Heaven willing, everything is going well now. Gongzi talked about the proposal to open Wanxianglou in Surabaya City, and invited Sister Liu to come to Surabaya in person, and Xiang'er looked forward to it day and night. Sister Liu, Jin An. ”

After reading the letter, Sister Liu swept away the depression of the past few days, only felt that her body and mind were very comfortable, and she couldn't put it down with the letter paper and read it over and over again.

"Sister Liu, after reading this letter, please burn it." You Jiahu reminded.

Sister Liu glanced at her servant and said reluctantly: "I will never show this letter." ”

Hu Cong shook his head and said resolutely: "Please burn it." "Once this matter is leaked, he will inevitably be guilty of confiscating the army for 3,000 miles, so naturally he will not believe Sister Liu's empty ticket.

Sister Liu had no choice but to frown and burn the letter.

Huaidong, Surabaya City.

Surabaya City is located at the confluence of Bianshui and Huaishui, with dense tributaries and convenient water and land transportation, and has always been the throat of the Central Plains.

The Great Liang Empire was the first to transport the Bianhe River, and the grain from the two Huai and other places needed to enter the Bianhe River from the mouth of the Surabaya, which showed the importance of the status of the city of Surabaya. It's just that the emperor of this dynasty abolished the old system, implemented the transportation section, and the merchant ships between the north and the south decreased, so Surabaya City was not as prosperous as in previous years.

When Mu Hai and the others came to the high slope west of Surabaya City, it was noon.

Mu Hai and others got out of the car to watch the scenery, and looked at the traffic of the river under the sun, winding the hub, like a silver belt of ten thousand, spreading across the green fields. The Surabaya City in the center is not as square as the ancient city in the north, but follows the twists and turns of the shape, builds the wall according to the situation, and overlooks it from a high position, and the overall shape is like a huge turtle shell.

Mu Hai looked at the wind and praised: "The water towns in the south are indeed very different from the northwest, and such a spectacular scene of the confluence of curved rivers is very difficult to see in the northwest. ”

Zhou Ye nodded yes, and sighed in his heart: After the rebellion of his colleagues in Yanbei, most of the brothers were damaged, and their foothold was lost, so they would rely on Surabaya City to live in the future. Thinking of Cheng Shu's words before parting, he couldn't help but glance at Mu Hai more: Cheng Shu warned Zhou Ye and the three of them to help Mu Hai gain a foothold in Surabaya City, but not to make Mu Hai completely subdued the place, so that Mu Hai would rely on the three of them for everything.

You Nanshan stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the scene of boats coming in the distance, and exclaimed: "The convenience of transportation in Surabaya City is beyond the reach of Shouchun." ”

Mu Hai said with a smile: "In terms of water and land transportation alone, Surabaya City is indeed more convenient - I finally arrived in Surabaya City, this journey is hard, and there is Brother Laoyou." ”

You Nanshan waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Qin, why should you be polite. ”

"This is not polite, but it is a heartfelt statement." Mu Hai has the intention of befriending You Nanshan and insists on making a thank you gift.

"Childe learns to thank people, this is a good thing - it's polite, eat some melons and fruits, soak them in the stream, it's cool and sweet." Xiang'er came with a basket of melons and fruits and a smile.

The wind is strong at the top of the slope, Xiang'er is coming step by step, the green silk is flying in the wind, and the skirt is fluttering, which increases her dusty charm.

You Nanshan stared at the You family servant beside Xiang'er dissatisfied, and scolded: "How can you let Miss Liu do these heavy jobs." Every time he saw Liu Xiang'er, You Nanshan couldn't help but feel a rippling feeling in his heart, if he didn't know how heavy Liu Xiang'er's status was in Mu Hai's heart, You Nanshan really wanted to open his mouth and let Xiang'er serve him for two days. In this world, it is not uncommon for wealthy families to give each other handmaidens.

In fact, You Nanshan didn't mention this meaning, he also hinted that it was just Mu Hai pretending to be incomprehensible - You Nanshan didn't believe that the intelligence shown by Mu Hai would not understand what he meant.

The reprimanded Hu Cong had a bitter gourd face and muttered secretly: If I have the opportunity to be courteous, I will definitely do it, but others don't give me the opportunity, what can I do?

"Don't blame this eldest brother, Gongzi You, the melons and fruits are not heavy, and Xiang'er is not tired of carrying them. Besides, it is Xiang'er's duty to serve his son, and he doesn't dare to use the hands of dummies. Liu Xiang'er picked a washed melon and fruit and handed it to Mu Hai, and glanced at him with a smile. After she gave her heart to Mu Hai, she always wanted to take care of every detail of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and she didn't want others to interfere in everything.

When Hu Cong, who was reprimanded, heard Liu Xiang'er's words, he used his brain and thought: It turns out that this is the reason why I was not allowed to interfere, and now Qin Gongzi has also chosen melons. It's always okay to help again, and it can be regarded as redeeming the merits.

Hu Cong stepped forward and said to Liu Xiang'er: "The road is far away and there is no light load, although the melon and fruit basket is not heavy, but it is tiring after a long time, let me come." ”

Liu Xiang'er tucked her sideburns, nodded her head, and said with a smile: "Thank you for this big brother." "I picked a small melon and fruit to eat by myself, and then handed the fruit basket to the servant.

Hu Cong looked at Liu Xiang'er's beautiful smile, his dark face couldn't help but blush, and he happily took the fruit basket to give it to You Nanshan.

You Nanshan stared at Hu Cong's series of stupid behaviors with wide eyes, and scolded in his heart: You are a fucking pig! Let Liu Xiang'er hand me the melons and fruits, and you will die! There are beautiful women here, who are rare for you to serve!

You Nanshan picked a melon from the fruit basket with a calm face, took a bite, and said, "Chen Xiaoyan went to the city to notify the county government to welcome Qin Gongzi, why haven't you returned?" You run an errand and go check it out. ”

From this moment, Hu finally knew that the horse's fart had slapped on the horse's feet, handed the fruit basket to others, and ran down the slope with a bitter face.

When Mu Hai saw this scene, his heart brightened, and he glanced at Liu Xiang'er with a smile. My Fair Lady, everyone loves her, there is nothing wrong with this, as long as you don't exceed your duty.

Xiang'er was looked at by Mu Hai's pretty face, and her pink fist gently hammered Mu Hai.

"Hey, Xiang'er, your melon is so small. How so? If you have a bite to eat, you can't starve you, come, come, I'll share your order. Mu Hai put the melons and fruits he had bitten into Xiang'er's moist and full red lips.

With so many people looking at Mi, Xiang'er glanced at Mu Hai with disgust. But after hesitating for a moment, he still mustered up the courage to obediently open his cherry lips in front of everyone and gently bite on the melon and fruit with Muhai's bite marks.

Xiang'er lowered her head in shame, and Mu Hai was very happy in her heart, hugging Xiang'er's soft and boneless willow waist, smelling the faint body fragrance on her body, and finally able to understand the mentality of Emperor Tang Ming's "From now on, the king will not be early".

Everyone watched the fairy-like Liu Xiang'er cooperate with Mu Hai's frivolous actions in public, and they were envious, and they hated to replace him.

You Nanshan said with a smile: "Brother Qin and Miss Liu's immortal couple, envy others." Now I believe in the fate of people, but I can't ask for it. He said that he was thinking about Muhai on the surface, and he would not be out of proportion.

Mu Hai laughed and said, "Where did Brother You speak......

At this time, Chen Xiaoyan finally led the people of the county government to the west slope to greet Muhai.
