There were two carriages in the procession, and most of the knights who escorted the carriage were domestic slaves in green clothes and small hats, and more than a dozen people were dressed in different clothes, their faces were full of anger, and their eyes were fierce, not like good people. The combination of such a group of people looks very weird, and it can't help but attract Liu Ziqiu's attention.

There were many pedestrians on the street, but the horse team was extremely arrogant, galloping all the way without slowing down. The vendors' stalls didn't have time to move to the side of the road, and they were knocked to the ground, and fruits, vegetables, and all kinds of groceries were scattered all over the ground.

In the chaos, a little boy of five or six years old suddenly fell to the side of the road, crying in fright. The sound of hooves approached, and the doll couldn't hold on for a moment. Seeing this, Liu Ziqiu rushed over, picked up the little boy and rolled on the spot, and the horse team had galloped past them. The dust was flying, making Liu Ziqiu disgraced.

A young woman who was scrambling to clean up the knocked over stall ran over in surprise, snatched the little boy from Liu Ziqiu's hand, and muttered: "Scared me to death, scared me to death, if you have a good one, how can I explain to your dead father." ”

Ah Fu and the others reacted at this time, and hurriedly ran over, helping Liu Ziqiu dust off his body, and said with palpitations: "Ah Lang, you, are you okay, it was too dangerous just now." ”

Pedestrians and vendors on the street also gathered around, gossiping, some scolding the horse team for being inhumane, and some praising Liu Ziqiu's righteousness and bravery. The young woman also understood, pulled the little boy, and the mother and son insisted on kowtowing to Liu Ziqiu.

Liu Ziqiu naturally refused, pulled them up, and asked casually while helping them clean up the stall: "It must have been the old man of the Xie family in the carriage just now, right?" ”

This is a small fruit stand, pears and oranges are rolling everywhere, many have been trampled by the horse's hooves, the young woman wanted to cry without tears, but she didn't hear Liu Ziqiu's question, but someone next to her replied: "Old man Xie's poetry and book heirloom, how can he do such a thing." I don't know where the wild mongrels came from, Old Man Xie will never spare them. ”

Liu Ziqiu saw that the direction in which the horse team was going was clearly the Xie family's compound. Since others dare to go to the Xie family, they naturally have nothing to fear, how can they worry about being punished by the Xie family? These passers-by can only take advantage of some words.

With the help of everyone, the scattered fruits were finally picked up, and the intact ones were less than one percent, and the young woman looked at the stall in a silent daze, unable to say a word. Liu Ziqiu couldn't bear it in his heart, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, and said, "Sister-in-law, you bought all these fruits." ”

The young woman came to her senses and hurriedly refused: "No, no, you saved the baby's life, I haven't thanked you yet, how can I ask for your money." ”

Liu Ziqiu could see that this fruit stall was the source of her mother and son's livelihood, and if this source was cut off, they would not die of starvation, but only sell themselves into slavery, so she couldn't help but say: "Sister-in-law, take it quickly, the baby wants to eat." ”

By this time, passers-by and street vendors had dispersed, and the market was once again lively. The young woman was also relieved, and pulled the boy by, and knelt down again. Liu Ziqiu stopped them and asked, "Sister-in-law, you are from this town, right?" ”

The young woman nodded and said, "The slave Li family has lived in this town for generations. ”

It turned out that the young woman's surname was Li, and she was married to a carpenter surnamed Xie in the town. Carpenter Xie is the old man Xie's family, and he has craftsmanship, and he has been living a good life. Who knew that there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, the imperial court opened the canal, began to build dragon boats, and Carpenter Xie was also recruited. In order to cater to Yang Guang, the minister in charge of shipbuilding ordered the craftsmen to work day and night. Carpenter Xie soaked in water for more than two months, but unfortunately contracted the disease and died, leaving them orphans and widows to live on this small stall.

Liu Ziqiu sighed with emotion, but asked again: "Since it is Old Man Xie's family, why don't you ask the Xie family for help?" ”

Li sighed: "Out of the five suits, this pro is no longer as good as the neighbors." ”

People are warm and cold, the world is hot and cold, Liu Ziqiu was not surprised, nodded, and said: "I heard that Old Man Xie often goes to the countryside, and it is normal to take care of you and other distant relatives." ”

Li Shi frowned and said, "Who did Engong listen to?" Old Man Xie hasn't left the town for more than ten years, so how can he go to the countryside? ”

Liu Ziqiu had long suspected that Xie Zhiwen was lying, and Li's words further confirmed his guess. Thinking of the strange horse team just now, Liu Ziqiu felt that the Xie family seemed to have stepped up his movements, and he couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bid farewell to the Li family mother and son, and rushed to the Xie family's compound.

The Xie family's compound was as usual, the vermilion lacquer gate was closed, and on the thirteen steps, four house slaves in green clothes and small hats stood on both sides, and there was not a single idle person in sight. Liu Ziqiu already knew that a big family like the Xie family had a lot of rules, and the door would not be open without important guests. When Liu Ziqiu came yesterday, he entered through the side door.

There were also four house slaves guarding the side gate, they already knew that Liu Ziqiu was a guest in the mansion, and when they saw him coming back, they hurriedly bowed down and saluted.

Liu Ziqiu asked casually: "There are guests in the house again?" ”

One of the house slaves at the head hurriedly said: "Hui Gongzi, I didn't see anyone coming. ”

Liu Ziqiu clearly saw messy hoof prints and ruts on the ground, and the house slave was wandering and flickering, and he already knew it in his heart. That horse team really came to the Xie family, and the Xie family didn't want him to know yet.

When he returned to the single courtyard arranged for him by the Xie family, he saw that the twin sisters had already gotten up and changed their clothes, but they were both kneeling at the door, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but wonder: "What are you doing here?" ”

The sisters said in unison: "The slaves and maids have come out to serve for the first time, but they have not been able to satisfy the son, and they will inevitably be punished when they return." Ask the son to ask for a slave and maid, if the slave and maid don't give this body to the son, sooner or later they will have to give it to others. ”

Liu Ziqiu has not yet realized the consciousness of being a master, even the Kunlun slaves and Gaoli maids he bought, and he doesn't like to let them kneel and talk, so he can't help frowning and saying: "You guys get up first, what's going on, tell someone slowly." ”

It turned out that the two sisters were prostitutes of the Xie family, who had been raising the house since they were children, and they didn't usually need to work, but only learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like everyone else. When they were ten years old, a woman from the Wind Moon Field came to teach them the art of femininity. The Xie family spent so much effort, but it was just to let them please the distinguished guests in the house.

There are still many girls like these sisters in the Xie family, and they usually only have one chance to accompany their guests, and after they are broken, they are worthless. In the future, any kind of guest may ask them to accompany them, and they will no longer enjoy the days of fine clothes and fine food, and they will also start to do all kinds of chores like other maidservants.

The Xie family is all wealthy and wealthy, and those who can be regarded as distinguished guests by them are naturally noble, but most of them are many years old, and it is extremely rare to be as young and handsome as Liu Ziqiu. The two sisters thought that it would be better to dedicate their first time to Liu Ziqiu than to let those old men spoil it, but they didn't expect Liu Ziqiu to sit still.

Liu Ziqiu was powerless to change this style of the family, and he was unwilling to comment. But what happened to the sisters reminded him of one thing, and he couldn't help asking, "Do you know the other girls?" ”

The pair of sisters said: "Before we came to accompany our sons, we lived with them, so we naturally knew each other. ”

"Okay, you can help me inquire about something." Liu Ziqiu saw the pair of sisters looking hesitant, knowing that they were afraid of the Xie family's family law, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, after the matter is completed, I will definitely find your family master in person, ask you to come over, and stay by XX's side." ”

With Liu Ziqiu's skills, of course he can come and go freely in the Xie family's compound, but he is now the guest of the Xie family, so he can't do those things like flying eaves and walking on the wall. If you want to hear the news, it is more convenient to use the people of the Xie family.

The ones who can let their sisters come to accompany them are naturally the distinguished guests in the house, and the head of the family may really be able to agree to the requests of the distinguished guests. It is much better to follow such a young man than to stay in Xie's house, ready to serve guests who don't know where they came from. The two sisters had the same mind, and after glancing at each other, they said in unison, "Please give me orders." ”

……

The Xie family's compound covers an extremely wide area, and the single courtyard where Liu Ziqiu lives actually still belongs to the former house. In the front house, there are many places like yours in a single courtyard, and as for the back house, it is difficult for outsiders to enter. At this time, Xie Wengshan and Xie Yun were hiding in the back house, and with them, there were Xie Wengshan's two brothers, Xie Weng Ming and Xie Wengda.

The Xie family has big rules, pays attention to the old and young in order, and in front of the three old guys, Xie Yun can only stand and reply: "Father, second uncle, third uncle, the people from the Wang family of Wujun have arrived, and they are here with the people from the north, and Zhiwen is accompanying them in front." ”

Xie Wenda frowned and said, "Big brother, do you really believe that those mud legs can make things happen?" ”

"The world is unpredictable, who can guarantee success?" Xie Wengshan muttered, "The last time Wang Ji came over, he said that the surname Lu has been preparing for many years, and when he raised his arms, he responded like a cloud, and the crowd should be around hundreds of thousands, or it can be done, but it is not known." ”

Xie Weng Ming said: "The person who contacted Lu Mingyue has always been a member of the Wang family, even if it can be successful, I am afraid that my Xie family will eventually fall behind the Wang family." Wen'er has been in the palace for many days, and with her talent, she should be favored by the emperor. If Wen'er is favored, my Xie family will have their own day, so why do you need to take this dangerous road! ”

It turned out that Xie Xiangwen, the wife of the head of Qiyin Courtyard, was actually a member of the Xie family in Moling, and she was Xie Wengming's own granddaughter. However, this secret is only known to the core figures of the Xie family, and Xie Xiangwen himself is also tight-lipped, so Gao Xiuer doesn't know, and Liu Ziqiu can't even more so know.

"How can the future of my Xie family be pinned on a woman." Xie Wengshan said disappreciatively, "Besides, King Xie is one, and the two families have many marriages, so why should they divide each other?" ”

Xie Yun had been quietly listening to the discussion of the three old men beside him, and did not intervene, and then suddenly presented a gift list and said, "Father, the Wang family has also prepared a generous gift and came to ask for marriage." ”
