When I knocked on the door, an old voice soon sounded inside, but it took a while for the door to open from the inside.

The one who came out to answer the door was an old slave, with all white hair and an old appearance, older than Liu Yusheng imagined.

And at a glance, you can see why the old slave answered quickly, but opened the door so slowly, his legs and feet were inconvenient, and one foot was lame.

"Is the owner coming? Hurry up and get in the door, it's freezing outside. When he saw a few people, the old slave was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw Liu Zhiqiu, the old slave immediately stepped back and welcomed a few people in.

The expression is very restrained, and some are at a loss.

Probably because he was afraid that his appearance would be disliked by several distinguished guests who came with him.

It's no wonder that the old slave reacted like this, just the extravagance revealed by Feng Qingbai alone, ordinary people will be subconsciously humble when they see it.

"Uncle Liu, don't be nervous, these are all from my family," Liu Zhiqiu explained when he walked into the door, "You go back to the porter and sit, let's go in by ourselves, we don't need to say hello." ”

"Yes, thank you."

Following Liu Zhiqiu, seeing him go inside, Liu Yusheng was curious about what the people bought by the second brother were like.

The yard of the farm is quite large, and the garden scenery is readily available, the yard is very clean, and the snow on the main road has been cleared, so it will not be slippery when stepping on it.

These things in her eyes made her quite satisfied, which showed that the subordinates were diligent and conscious.

"Uncle Willow's name was given by me later." After walking a distance, Liu Zhiqiu explained, "There are five people in the Zhuangzi besides him, namely willow roots, willow branches, willow leaves, and willow buds. They are actually a family. ”

After a pause, Liu Zhiqiu lowered his voice, "Uncle Liu's wife is dead, and he was killed by himself." The rest of the people were all lost, and they were all seriously injured by the original owner, leaving them with disabilities. ”

"What's going on?" Liu Yusheng frowned.

"Liu Ya is the little granddaughter of Liu Shubo, she looks good, she was ruined by the original owner, and she has been short-lived a few times. Liu Shubo's family had the courage to beg for mercy and wanted to ask their master to let Liu Ya go, but they were insulted and beaten, and his wife was killed on the spot. Originally, all of them were going to be sold by the owner as lowly status, but later I used some connections to buy them and let them help guard the Zhuangzi, which can be regarded as a place to live in peace. ”

"This kind of thing is not uncommon for large families, with a deed of sale in their hands, they can decide the life and death of their slaves at will. In their eyes, domestic slaves are no different from animals, and they can be used for fun at any time. Most people choose to swallow their anger, and if they choose to die strongly, there will never be a good result. Liu Muqiu pursed her lips, she came out of a big family, and she had never heard of this kind of thing.

It is difficult for a slave born in a house, especially a woman, to escape this fate if she is born well.

In the upper circles, there is never a shortage of sanctimonious people.

Turning his head to look at the man beside him with a frank expression and a straight back, Liu Muqiu couldn't help but hold his hand.

A man whose eyes and smile can be as clean and warm as a clear sky must have a kind and soft heart.

That's why she recognized him at a glance.

I love him so much.

The hand was immediately held behind the back, and the temperature from the palm to the bottom of the heart made Liu Muqiu bend his eyes.

This man can warm her for the rest of her life.

Behind the two, Liu Zhixia, Liu Yusheng and Qingbai did not speak.

The eldest brother follows Qingbai and is a person who hides his mind deeply, Liu Yusheng doesn't know if they will be touched by what they heard, but she is very proud of her second brother.

No matter when and where, the second brother's heart maintains that purity.

In front of it was the hall, and there were figures walking inside, and when they heard footsteps outside, people inside walked out.

One is a middle-aged woman with a face full of vicissitudes, and another is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, who looks very good-looking.

This should be the willow bud in the second brother's mouth.

"The slave has seen the owner and the distinguished guests." The woman led the maiden and saluted, and without a trace, she was behind her.

Liu Yusheng and the others just didn't notice her action.

Once you are bitten by a snake for ten years and are afraid of the well rope, it is natural to have this kind of defense.

"Aunt Liu Zhi, this is my eldest brother, these two are my sister and brother-in-law, and this is my daughter-in-law, all of whom are from my family." Holding Liu Muqiu's hand and shaking it, Liu Zhiqiu briefly introduced, "You make a pot of tea, and then go to tidy up a few guest rooms, we will live in Zhuangzi for a few days, by the way, you ask Uncle Liu Gen to come over, I have something to look for him." ”

He didn't let them be exempt, ingrained things, no need to waste time correcting them.

It's more natural to get along this way.

Xu is attitude was calm, and the nervous mother and daughter relaxed a little, and immediately retreated to work.

After the two left, Liu Zhiqiu turned the topic to the point, "Later, I will ask Uncle Liu Gen to go to the village to talk to the tenants and ask them to come over and sign the lease again." Get these together and take you to inspect Zhuangzi. Ming'er will have to follow the trend of Qingbai, you two will appear, go to the yamen to help me say hello. ”

"If it's icy and snowy, you won't have to inspect Zhuangzi, and if you go out for a walk, you can see nothing more than snow." Liu Zhixia said lightly, "After sitting in the carriage for a long time, I am a little tired, I will go to rest first, and you can get those things by yourself for the tenant deeds." Remember to let the Zhuangzi prepare the meal, our dinner time is in the unitary time. ”

Feng Qingbai also said, "Shengsheng and I also have to take a nap, so you don't need to call us out until we eat." ”

Liu Zhiqiu looked at this, looked at that, "Are you so afraid that I will ask you to help?" Isn't it a brother? ”

"Not now."

"Liu Zhiqiu is really convinced.

How could he know in advance what he wanted to do with these two in front of him?

People in the mixed officialdom have mind reading skills?

He is such a big Zhuangzi, and the tenants who want to land are estimated to be fifty or sixty if they have not a hundred, but he will be busy with them to sign a contract and talk about the rules alone? In particular, he only collects 30% of the rent, which will inevitably cause a lot of impact among the tenants, and then he will have to dry his saliva just to answer questions.

As the news spreads, there will definitely be a steady stream of tenants.

It was because he planned to make his eldest brother a strong man from the beginning.

As a result, before he opened his mouth, they ran away one by one, this Zhuangzi is his alone?

He's really alone.

The eldest brother followed the trend and Qingbai was too lazy to be the owner with him.

And they are ruthless, and they will never be soft-hearted and sympathetic to him.

Liu Zhiqiu straightened his expression, and looked at Liu Yusheng pitifully, "Nan, the second brother will hurt you when he is young."

The woman's expression was even more helpless than his, "Brother, you hurt me a little, why doesn't it hurt now?" Do you really want me to do such a tiring job? ”

Liu Zhiqiu died in the arms of his daughter-in-law.
