Chapter 18: Slums
The city lord's eyes widened in surprise.
How big is the backstage of Ming Bao Pavilion? The power permeated the capital, and the city lord of Windy City did not dare to interfere with the existence.
Now, it is said that he can't afford to offend that woman.
I wanted to check the identity of this woman and teach a lesson, but now I don't dare to do it anymore.
……
Carrying a large bag of silver tickets, Zuoqiu Key, left the Mingbao Pavilion in a dashing manner.
Laneige was still in a fog until now, and reacted with hindsight and said, "Miss, our money can't be from those mountain bandits in Akibara Mountain, right?" ”
She said that she had only seen so many gold and silver jewels on that table.
But they didn't come down from the mountain at that time, so why was the wagon full of money? Laneige still has no solution.
"When I traveled around, my young lady, I learned a few folk tricks. Although this Akibara Mountain has been destroyed, it is a pity that so much money has fallen into the hands of others for no reason.
No matter how you say it, it is also a looted people's fat and people's ointment. Although at first I wanted to use these as a way to make money and then do it, but now I want to make it go directly to their place. Inside the carriage, Zuoqiu said lightly.
Laneige has always believed in Zuoqiu's deception, and he realized that this was the case, and he didn't delve into what kind of trick was so powerful. Then he asked suspiciously, "What do you mean, where are we going next?" ”
Laneige doesn't talk about returning to his home now.
After all, they have money now, and besides, they feel like they are locked up in an unfavored mansion with the young lady, and the feeling of traveling around is more free and enjoyable, which makes her feel a little fresher than before.
Zuoqiu said lazily: "Go to the slums, how about we go to be a wealth boy?" ”
"Fortune boy?" Laneige was excited: "The slave listens to the young lady." ”
Then crunch, the dilapidated carriage shuttled through the rich district of Windy City.
What they didn't find was that they passed by a huge mansion in a grand manner, and the plaque on it was still carved with gilt fonts, and the four big characters of the Zuoqiu family hung high.
The guards at the door also watched the two broken carriages that were slowly dragged away by the old oxen, and couldn't help complaining: "There are still such shabby people in this Windy City? ”
"In this world, there is no shortage of strange people. But the old man said that in the past few days, isn't the sick seedling who broke up the family going to come up? We'll have to keep an eye on ......."
"Cut, an illegitimate daughter, do you really think the master attaches great importance to it? Didn't you see that after the news was announced, the lord didn't even send someone out of the city to respond? Compared to other young ladies, this illegitimate daughter is simply mud, and she doesn't want to think about her qualifications if she wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix. ”
"That's it, haha......"
However, the two did not know about their lust, and the illegitimate lady they thought would come to the main mansion urgently, let them wait for three days, but did not wait for anyone.
Even Zuo Qiu Yu couldn't help but finally pay attention.
Den.
Zuo Qiu Yu looked at the kneeling subordinates below, and then frowned: "What about people?" Are you sure you're already going? ”
"Yes, master, Zuo Qiu Ming, the head of the split family, wrote a letter saying that Miss Yue'er had left the split family a few days ago. It's just that there is really no movement of Miss Key'er entering the Wind City Lord's house behind...... "That subordinate is embarrassed to speak, after all, if he is the illegitimate daughter and really arrives in Wind City, he must be impatient to come here."
Zuo Qiu Yu's face was gloomy, and a little complicated emotions appeared on his face with a Chinese character, and then waved: "You go down!" Write another letter to Zuo Qiu Ming and ask him what the hell is going on? It is said that Zuoqiu Key's health is not very good, and if there is any accident on the way, I must be the only one who asks. ”
There was no love in his eyes, but there were other reasons why he needed the appearance of the Zuoqiu key so urgently.
"Yes, sir." The subordinate respectfully retreated.
At the same time, there was a knock at the door.
The person who came was Zuoqiu Shan, the eldest lady of the Zuoqiu family, who was really famous in the entire Windy City, and was both civil and military, and had great strength, and was Zuoqiu Yu's favorite.
Zuo Qiushan held the dessert in his hand, and then walked in and looked at the subordinates who went out, his eyes were slightly deep. Finally, he put the pastry on Zuo Qiu Yu's desk, and smiled softly: "Daddy, try the dim sum I just made......"
"Shan'er is still sensible, and she is always worried about being a father." Zuo Qiu Yu's mood instantly became good.
Although Zuoqiu Yu announced in the clan that he was about to pick up Zuoqiu Key, an illegitimate daughter, he actually never cared about this matter anymore.
But when Zuo Qiushan came to his study at this time, he suddenly took the initiative to speak: "Shan'er, aren't you curious, why did Daddy behave like this?" ”
Zuo Qiushan has always been arrogant, but he is very respectful to his father. turned around, lowered his head but looked puzzled: "I don't know what Daddy said?" "I know it in my heart, but I ask knowingly.
Zuoqiu Yu looked at her appearance, and just sighed deeply: "The male of my Zuoqiu family is also a little cold, but it is the five pearls of the clan that let the outside world talk about our Zuoqiu family." said that I was the pearl of the Zuoqiu family, and all of them were brilliant and beautiful. You, Lan'er, Meng'er, Love, and Yu'er are all my pride. The Father wants you to live well......"
When Zuo Qiushan heard this, her brows were slightly locked: "Father means ......"
"There was news from the capital some time ago that someone from the Xuan Realm may have come." Zuoqiu Yu threw a bomb.
Zuo Qiushan was really shocked: "Xuan...... Someone from the Xuan Realm is coming? This...... Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? ”
"I don't know, the people over there have always been powerful, and they can't be compared to us mortals. In the past, people from the realm might come to collect disciples with Huigen talent every year, but this year is different. They...... It seems that he has come to look for the furnace. Zuo Qiu Yu's expression was gloomy.
When Zuo Qiushan heard this, his expression also cooled.
Zuo Qiu Yu continued: "Although I don't want to, the emperor has already issued an order. Each family must send a woman of the lineage out. The people of the realm pointed out that a woman with excellent talent and affection must not be perfunctory. It was also indicated that I was interested in the young lady of my Zuoqiu family. If you have to hand over a daughter......"
Zuo Qiushan suddenly understood.
No wonder the father suddenly remembered the illegitimate daughter.
"I understand my father." Zuo Qiushan was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Father's pressure can be imagined, after all, it is an order from the imperial city, and we dare not disobey." If our daughter can enter the Xuan Realm in the future, we don't need to listen to the words of the Imperial City anymore. ”
"Well, I don't want to do this to her. But think about it, if her appearance happens to be disliked by the adults of the Xuan Realm, it can be regarded as preserving my Zuoqiu family and making the dynasty remember her. Moreover, I will make it up to her in the future. Zuo Qiu Yu said.
