Chapter 141: The Old Man Is New Now
When she was on the street, Li Minglou was taken aback, she didn't expect to see Jiang Liang and Liu Fan at a glance.
Although they were a few years younger than when they met in that life, Jiang Liang was not so fat, and Liu Fan's body did not look very strong, but there was no difference in appearance, and even looked more vicissitudes
When she knew them, they were already guests of the Xiang family.
The doorman, like the ranger, has been stable for hundreds of years with the Great Xia, and there is no place to live, and it has withered.
After the war began, the doorman reappeared and prevailed, firstly, many military generals needed staff to take power, and secondly, many literati were broken by the troubled times.
The troubled times are also an opportunity for many people, and the heroes of the troubled world are heroes, whether they are literati or military generals, they are all ambitious in their bones.
Four or five years after the troubled times, the generals with a lot of powerful soldiers gathered at least a dozen and at most hundreds of doormen, and many wealthy families also raised more than a dozen doormen to analyze the ups and downs of the world's generals, so that the family could grasp the opportunity.
There were dozens of doormen around Li Mingyu, Li Minglou laughed at himself, those doormen were all found by Xiang Yun.
It's really strange, how could such a simple and naked embezzlement not be seen at all? How can you really think of it as a family, regardless of you and me, I really responded to that sentence, only because I was in this mountain.
A soft sound interrupted Li Minglou's distraction, she looked into the hall, and saw Jiang Liang leaning on the table, his elbow pretending to hit the teacup unintentionally, but when he was about to fall, he was held by Liu Fan's long hand.
"What are you doing?" Liu Fan was annoyed and lowered his voice, "You don't come to be a shrew, smash the cup and smash the table and scuffle, I won't be embarrassed with you, if we don't fight, we don't fight, just to let this young lady Wu understand this." ”
Jiang Liang leaned on the table and pointed at Liu Fan: "You young man is really confused, you said that we beat us from the outside to the inside, and then the young lady Wu punished and mediated and then reconciled to the liking, or let this matter be a misunderstanding, young lady Wu did something wrong, and then apologize to us and then send us out respectfully and politely?" ”
Liu Fan immediately understood what he meant, and his face was pale: "Young Lady Wu is an immortal person who knows her mistakes and can change them." ”
Jiang Liang shook his head: "Immortals also have three points of fireworks, not to mention that the preferences of the general public should also be considered, and the people are not willing to watch the immortals make mistakes." ”
"I can't get used to seeing you like this, you're still not a scholar?" Liu Fan said, frowning again, "It's a clay man who also has three points of fire, right?" ”
"Immortals are clay figures." Jiang Liang muttered, coughed lightly and stood up straight, "I know that a young man like you who is studying has very hard bones, but don't drag me down, my old bones are the most afraid of things, and I don't fight for idleness." ”
Liu Fan looked at the old man who was a head shorter than himself: "Are you afraid of things?" Don't you fight for idleness? And you still flipped my desk? Still stealing business from me? ”
Jiang Liang smiled, picked up the teacup and blew the hot tea: "Of course, it's because I'm not afraid of you." ”
He took a sip of tea.
The tea is very good, and this big teacup has an inexplicable feeling of ironing.
"You are less," Liu Fan said angrily.
Just opened his mouth to listen to a laugh outside, and then someone appeared at the door silently, Jiang Liang put down the teacup, Liu Fan stood more straight, and both of them looked at the woman standing at the door, she was wearing a white dress with pale yellow embroidery on her clothes, like a fairy spirit lingering and blooming like spring flowers.
She looked at them, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and the next moment the smile was put away, and the spring flowers suddenly dispersed.
"Young Lady Wu." Jiang Liang gave a deep salute, and Liu Fan saluted shallowly.
Li Minglou stepped in and sat down in the middle of them, followed by two six or seven-year-old girls behind her, ignorant and timid, trying to do something, but unfamiliar and didn't know what to do, and finally carefully tidied up the corners of Li Minglou's skirt after sitting down.
"Let's go play with my brothers." Li Minglou waited until they were done before saying.
The two girls replied that because there were strangers staring at them in the house, they were even more nervous and couldn't even walk, so they simply pedaled out.
Jiang Liang and Liu Fan wandered the streets, knowing these boy attendants, Mrs. Wu Shao recently sent the people around her to the barracks to fill the army, and she needed to find a new attendant, but she didn't want adults, saying that people were needed to do things now, and the men and women who grew up should do more useful things, so as long as those children who were about ten years old, about ten orphans were selected and brought into the back house of the mansion.
But what can such a young child do? And they are all children of poor families, no one has upbringing, no rules, let alone serving others, and even managing themselves is not good.
Is this a waiter? It's to be raised as a child, Jiang Liang and Liu Fan glanced at each other from the corner of their eyes.
Fairy mercy?
Show us?
The corners of their eyes met and they separated.
"Young lady, I'm disturbed." Liu Fan simply spoke first, looking at the woman sitting upright, "This is a misunderstanding." ”
Jiang Liang stepped forward to speak, and seemed to remember that he was still holding a teacup in his hand, and hurriedly returned to put it away, this delay Li Minglou spoke first.
"I heard everything you said." She said.
Jiang Liang put down the teacup and turned around and said, "Young lady, since you heard it, then what do you think this matter should be, if we are wrong, you will be punished, if you are wrong, we will thank you." ”
Liu Fan didn't speak, his expression was a little complicated, he was enthusiastic, but he was not a fool, the two of them talked like that before, that is, for outsiders.
In other people's homes, how can there be no ears in the wall.
Li Minglou looked at Jiang Liang and smiled again, Jiang Liang really expressed the false expression neatly and frankly, she could even imagine how the two of them were arranged to be her staff in that life.
"Old lady Xiang, do you want us to tell her a story or be a staff member? We will do what you tell us to do. ”
"I want you to tell her both stories and staff."
So they gave the staff what to do after something happened.
"Where are you from? How did you get here? Li Minglou asked.
Isn't she going to get straight to the point? Jiang Liang and Liu Fan glanced at each other, and did not hide their respective origins, Liu Fan studied in the capital, and Jiang Liang worked as a private school in the capital, and they did not know each other.
When the eunuchs changed, they fled out of the capital, a hometown in Yizhou and a in Hengzhou, all of which were where Fan Yangbing passed, when Ankang Mountain raised troops after having a home to go, all the way aimlessly fled, originally to the west of Taiyuan Mansion to avoid the war and survive the way, I heard that Gwangju Mansion has Zhenwu Army to protect the people can get a way to live, here is closer so I ran here.
I couldn't do it with all my strength, and I felt ashamed of eating porridge every day, so I set up a seat on the street to write letters to earn money, which can be regarded as self-reliance.
"There are many people who are separated in this troubled world, but it stands to reason that no one writes a letter, and there is no way to send a letter if you want to write a letter." Jiang Liang smiled on his face, "Thanks to Mrs. Wu's business route, businessmen can do big business and small business, and it has become easier to send letters to inquire about relatives." ”
This old bone is very slippery and flattering, Liu Fan didn't want to look at him, so he took over and said: "So the business is not bad, of course it is impossible for anyone to think of a good business, the peers in the world are enemies, and the two of us will inevitably have disputes and disputes, which disturbed the young lady, and it was rude for us." ”
It's just a faux pas, but it's not their fault.
Li Minglou didn't care about flattery and neither humility nor arrogance, she didn't care why they were fighting, she actually just asked them where they came from.
It seems that in this life, because of his own mutation, the two people who should have been exiled to Taiyuan Mansion came to Gwangju Mansion, and whether they also set up stalls in Taiyuan Mansion to write letters in their previous lives can no longer be known.
"I see." She nodded and looked at the two of them, "I don't have to think about how to do this, why don't you think about what you can do." ”
What do you mean? Liu Fan and Jiang Liang glanced at each other, this young lady Wu has been talking strangely since she appeared, and she always can't keep up
"Someone." Li Minglou didn't say anything more to them.
Two boys, eight or nine years old, came running in from outside.
"Take these two gentlemen to their quarters." Li Ming said.
Liu Fan wanted to say something, Jiang Liang glanced at him, and the two of them followed the boys without panic.
On the way, Liu Fan wanted to inquire about something from the two boys, but the effort was in vain, and the two boys didn't know anything.
"We'll deliver the food."
"Tell us what you want."
That's all they say, and they just pedal away.
"It's actually very clever to use such a kid who doesn't know anything as an envoy." Jiang Liang stood on the side of the bed, touching the soft futon, "If you don't understand anything, you won't be tricked." ”
Liu Fan didn't have the heart to think about this, sat down and looked at the bookshelf, there were bookshelves in this room, and the bookshelves were full of books, and the desk, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were complete.
"What does she want to do?" He asked, "What did she make us think?" ”
Jiang Liang sat on the bed and felt the softness and warmth that he hadn't experienced for a long time, and his eyebrows danced: "Let's not talk about this first, have you noticed that this Young Lady Wu is a little strange?" ”
"Of course she is strange, there is no name and no surname to suddenly appear a large amount of fairy mercy, and there is strange everywhere." Liu Fan said.
Jiang Liang waved his hand: "That's not about us, I mean she is to us, have you noticed that she is to us"
He weighed over the words, as if he didn't know how to say them, and he didn't seem to believe in the words he was going to say.
"It's familiar."
Liu Fan frowned: "What familiar?" ”
"It's that she doesn't have the slightest curiosity in front of us, rusty, restrained, and calm, not the kind of calm" Jiang Liang's face was wrinkled and thoughtful, "In short, she sits here, as if she has been sitting with us, and the conversation is not beginning, but has been going on." ”
What the old man said was as dry as the letter he wrote, Liu Fan sneered, but he thought about it, this feeling is really a little bit
Some people have clever means to make people feel familiar, but strangers are strangers, and the first meeting is definitely different from meeting acquaintances.
"She's been staring at us for a long time?" Liu Fan can only think so.
"I think so." Jiang nodded and stretched out his hand to twist his beard, "But why is she staring at us?" Is it because I have the appearance of an immortal? ”
