Chapter 2: Uncle Liu
Zhao Liusi didn't expect that her escape plan was completed by Yan Ran's mistake.
Because she is not the original second lady, so when she cleared her innocence, she also realized that the matter of being "shocked and changed temperament" was untenable, after all, "the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change", so in order to avoid being treated as a monster, she decided to leave the crowd that the second miss is familiar with.
But when she was ready to implement the plan, she found out that in ancient times, how difficult it was for an unmarried girl to escape from the cage called home, not to mention Zhao Qi and the eldest lady, even Mother Park was shocked when she heard her words, and persuaded her not to mess around, if she really wanted to leave home...... It's a big deal to find a man to marry.
Anyway, as a young lady, she has two opportunities in her life, one is to get married, and the other is to die.
"Chunxiang, aren't they running around all day long, showing their heads." Zhao Liusi lost his temper and took his maid as an example, but Pu's mother didn't think so, "They are maids, they are born to run errands, where can they write with you." For someone like you, who is so noble and noble, it is a loss to be looked at by those scoundrels. ”
"I don't care, I don't care, I'm going to get out, I'm going to suffocate if I go on like this." Zhao Liusi had no choice but to resort to his most despicable trick and roll around on the bed at home, "You don't know how terrible it is here, I can dream of Aunt Qian and Zhao Qiaoyun every day when I sleep, and I also dream that Zhao Qiaoyun wants me to pay for my life, she pinched my neck, and ...... like this"
Zhao Liusi stuck out his tongue exaggeratedly, which really frightened Mother Park's party. She originally thought that she could finally borrow the superstition of the old people to go out, but she didn't expect that the two solutions given by Park's mother and others were ridiculous, one was to build another big yard to avoid this "unlucky" place. But this is a change of soup and not a change of medicine, the same high-gate compound, it is rare to see a living person. Another is to invite Taoist priests and monks to exorcise evil spirits and ensure that the place is "clean".
Zhao Liusi couldn't accept these two methods, and saw that she would be poured cigarette ash if she tossed again, so she could only stop. Just when she could only helplessly use Xiao Hei's body to go wild every day, making the house full of wild cats barking, the turning point was unexpected.
**
"Meow, who's that guy?" Zhao Liusi squatted on the roof and chatted with a bunch of cats on the eaves.
There were originally cats at home, in addition to the pet cats raised by the eldest lady, aunt and others, there are cats secretly raised by the maids in the yard, and cats raised in the barn to prevent mice. Because the "second lady" ordered not to beat the cats, no one in the courtyard dared to touch these cats, so it seemed that the incident was more and more huge.
"I'm here to find my lord." Sanhua, who was licking the cat's hair, said, "I've been here several times, I saw him yesterday and the day before yesterday, and said that he was here to find some second miss." ”
"Meow, is the second lady the good-looking young lady who gave me something to eat?" The kitten she was there asked in a milky voice.
Knowing that Miss Kwaben is beautiful and has an eye!
Zhao Liusi caressed the cat with a paw, and then jumped off the fence lightly.
Since it's related to her, there's no reason not to eavesdrop.
**
The person who came was a young man, in his twenties, with slightly dark skin, which was a popular wheat color in later generations, but in this era, he looked a bit "countryman".
She took it for many days, and she gossiped with the little maids for a long time, probably understanding the aesthetics of this world, similar to the people of later generations, all of them are white and valuable. After all, only the upper class who have been indoors for a long time and are not exposed to wind and rain can maintain a fair and soft complexion in the era when there is no sunscreen, so such a slightly darker one is considered an "inferior" Peugeot, even if he is very rich and wears silk and satin, he will be regarded as a dirt bun.
However, except for the color of his skin, this person was dressed in a very luxurious manner, wearing an indigo brocade robe with an inconspicuous pattern, but the light shining in the sunlight fully explained the low-key gorgeousness of this clothing. The brocade belt and jade pendant around his waist are not bargains at first glance, not to mention the humble and non-arrogant tone and the flashing spirit in his eyes when this person talks to Zhao Qi.
"Liu Sheng, it's not that I don't let Sisi see you, it's true that she is a daughter who is about to leave the pavilion, and it is really not appropriate to go out at this time. You naturally call yourself an elder, so you should think about her. Zhao Qi had a bitter face, still looking like a bully, and said bitterly to the visitor.
"It doesn't matter, if it's inconvenient to meet, let her meet the big guy through the curtain is the same." The man named Liu Sheng did not flinch, but said in a tough tone, "But it won't work if she doesn't come out." I can't hold down the big guys, and neither can you. ”
"Alas, it was good in previous years, why is it good this year." Zhao Qi sighed.
"Just like you said, the girl is older, and we haven't met a few times as uncles, so how can we rest assured that she will be out of the cabinet." Liu Sheng drank the tea unhurriedly, but there was a sense of oppression when he spoke, "Miss Qin has been gone for fifteen years, and in the past few years, when the annual inventory and dividends were divided, there was still the eldest girl pressing the field, and the shopkeeper below was also docile. But since the eldest girl entered the palace, is there anyone still at the end of each year? At present, except for the first few old shopkeepers, the new guys don't recognize the face of the owner's family, do you say that in another ten years, will this business be surnamed Liu or Zhao? ”
"You're trying to say I'm plotting your property?" Zhao Qi was agitated by these words and stood up suddenly, slapping the case heavily, but he looked a little angry.
"I didn't say that." Liu Sheng's face was calm, "I'm just a minion, just doing things for the master's family, it's Liu is Zhao, I have an account in my heart, but the people below can't say for sure." You are also a decent person, if you don't want people to misunderstand, then let your thoughts come out to meet people. ”
"I, you don't want her to come out to meet people!" Zhao Qi had bitter water in his stomach, "But as long as she is decent, like the eldest sister, can I be a villain everywhere to hinder you?" But she's really not what she looks like! She doesn't come forward and hangs everyone, but she can also make the people below a little afraid and willing to work diligently. If she is let out, she says the wrong thing and does the wrong thing, so that the Liu family is face will be swept away, and when the people below will see, hey, the main family is like this, and they have thoughts that they shouldn't have, then I just went underground, and I don't have the face to see my father-in-law. ”
What Zhao Qi said was also the truth, Zhao Liusi was lying on the window, and saw Liu Sheng obviously frowning, but after he hesitated for a moment, he still insisted, "You give people to me, and I will teach." There is still a month left before the year-end conference, and if it doesn't work, I'll find another way. ”
"This ......" Zhao Qi was a little embarrassed, "You don't have a wife, you are lonely men and widows, and it is always not good to get along." ”
"I'm an uncle, what else can I do with her," Liu Sheng was angry this time, and snorted coldly without concealing it at all, "I swore in front of the old lady's grave that I was born in the Liu family in this life, and I am a ghost of the Liu family in death, and if I don't marry or marry, I will guard the Liu family." You don't have to worry about what I do to the second miss, even the eldest miss, I will also find her whereabouts. ”
"Yes, yes, I know, your character is trustworthy to everyone." Zhao Qi laughed awkwardly a few times, and then asked a little sadly, "The eldest sister hasn't disappeared yet?" ”
"Nope." Liu Sheng replied, a little more frustrated in his voice, "Sister Yi'er's draft was two years before the old emperor's death, and when she set off, she passed through Jizhou and encountered civil unrest, and it is said that she entered the palace less than thirty percent. After entering the palace, it coincided with the wedding of the Fengzi and dragon grandchildren, and there were seventeen or eighteen marriages, not to mention the rewards for the heroes. After the death of the old emperor, the struggle for the throne was chaotic for three years, some people were in the north and south of the world, some people were up and down, and the blood and water in the capital were three feet deep, and I wanted to find a palace maid who had been renamed in it......"
Liu Sheng's voice was calm and his face was indifferent, but the hand on the arm of the chair was exposed, and he could see how surging his heart was.
"My miserable daughter." Zhao Qi covered his sleeves and sobbed, "I finally raised my heart and liver until I was sixteen years old, and I couldn't even find a place to burn paper......
"Sister Yi's son is blessed with a great life, and it may not be an accident." Liu Sheng was indifferent to Zhao Qi's pain, and said indifferently like a robot, "No news is good news." ”
"It's all my fault, even if I gave up my body at that time, I should have stopped her." Zhao Qi cried more and more sadly, "Isn't it just silver, who knew that the eunuch was so greedy, he made three thousand taels of silver, and he couldn't leave anyone behind." ”
"It's you who give too much, and the other party sees that it's a fat sheep, and it's easy to loosen up." Liu Sheng sighed, accustomed to Zhao Qi's incompetence, "Besides, at that time, our family's business was too popular, and some people saw that Miss Yi was not pleasing to the eye, so they deliberately made a hindrance from it." I only hate that I wasn't there at that time, or else I would have to find out who was behind the troublemaker. ”
"Alas, I really hate my stupid brain at this time, I'm just a rough person who can only fight and kill, and I finally got some wealth, but I can't even protect my daughter, I, I'm really useless." Zhao Qi finally couldn't help it and cried loudly.
"The past is gone," Liu Sheng said very calmly, "Don't worry, I will continue to look for it, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death, there must be an explanation for this matter." ”
"Yes, yes." Zhao Qi rubbed his eyes and agreed.
"As for Second Miss, you don't have to worry too much. I originally thought she was useless, but recently she turned the land of the old mansion into a treasure, this kind of skill, this courage, everyone admires it very much. At that time, there will be one or two gaffes, and in the face of this achievement, everyone will misunderstand that it is a deep meaning. Liu Sheng got up and left, "So, you help her pack her things as soon as possible, and I will send someone to pick her up and go to live in the old mansion." ”
"Okay." Speaking of which, what else can Zhao Qi do? The only way to say yes is to say yes.
