Chapter 19: Return to Qingshan Town
The three of Liu's father stepped into the city gate of Qingshan Town at the end of Shen Shi. After returning the carriage, Zhao Yi said goodbye to Liu's father and Liu Su and went home, reporting that he was safe.
Liu's father took Liu Su back to the house in the sunset. The sudden return of the father and daughter made the family busy for a while. Liu Chen looked at his tanned daughter and was very distressed, and hugged Su'er and said that Su'er was suffering.
Liu Su was still a little unaccustomed to it, and after half a ring, he raised his hand and gently hugged Chen.
"Mother, I'm not affected. It was a lot of fun to go out with my father, and I collected a lot of flowers and seedlings this time. Liu Su said with a cheerful tone.
"Okay, good, Su'er is the best. You two haven't eaten yet, you're hungry, eat first. Chen said with tears in his eyes.
Father Liu watched the interaction between the mother and daughter from the sidelines, and was very pleased. "Did Brother Wu sleep?"
"I slept, I had a day, and I went to bed after dinner." Liu Chen pulled Liu Su to sit at the table with one hand.
"Sir, ma'am, the meal is here." Jin Mei brought Jin Mo a meal.
Liu's father and his wife finished the meal in a very relaxed mood in Liu Chen's frequent dishes and soup.
"Su'er, you're tired too, hurry up and wash up and rest early." Father Liu looked at Liu Su lovingly and said.
"The daughter retired first, and the father and mother also rested early." Liu Sushi returned to his room after giving a salute.
In the main room, Liu Chen waited for Liu's father to take a bath. "Master, is Su'er suffering, you see that it is only a few days, and she is so tanned, if this is often the case, how will she marry in the future." Chen helped Liu's father rub his back and said worriedly.
Father Liu heard this and thought for a moment. "Madam, perhaps Su'er is better suited to this profession than I am. She did better than me. I can only be a master for the rest of my life, but if Su'er persists, I will definitely hope to become a master. How much is this..."The more Father Liu spoke, the more excited he became. Then the last minute came to an abrupt end.
He turned around and took Liu Chen's hand. "Madam, our Liu family will rely on her in the future. I know it's a little unfair to Su'er, but Su'er's talent really can't be disappointed.
It's a big deal, we will recruit a son-in-law in the future, or Yi'er is also a person who can be trusted. ”
Liu Chen listened to Liu's father's words, and it took him a long time to understand. This is a decision, sir. Even the daughter's life was considered. This is not intended to leave a way back for the daughter.
Liu Chen's eyes began to flush, and she didn't understand why her husband had changed so much when she went out. This made Liu Chen, who has always regarded her husband as the sky, a little overwhelmed and incredulous.
"Master, do you know that if you do this, Su'er will live in the strange eyes of others all her life, even if her husband is willing to marry her in the future, her husband's family will look down on her. This... This makes Su'er how to live in the future! ”
Liu Chen said more and more, but tears slipped down the back of Liu's father's hand one by one.
Father Liu looked at his knotted wife with some heartache, and wiped Chen's tears with his hand. "Jingwen, don't cry. In the future, we will only recruit sons-in-law for our daughters, and we will not marry outside. The two of us looked at the two of them, and we wouldn't let Su'er be wronged. Don't worry, I won't let Su'er be wronged.
We are the only daughter, and I will not let her be wronged. She is really a person who can become a master gardener. I promise I won't push her. Really Jingwen. ”
Father Liu looked at Chen's pear blossom with rain, and his heart ached, and he didn't know what to do. He touched Chen's face and looked at this face, which had lost the youthfulness of a girl, but had the charm of a mature woman. He seemed to be a little emotional, and a little unsure of how to comfort him. He stood up from the bucket, wrapped his arms around Chen, and kissed him.
Chen was a little stunned and a little ashamed, and the two of them fell on the bed half-pushed and half-pushed.
Jinmei, who was waiting outside to collect water, heard the sound of rough panting gradually coming from inside. His cheeks burned crimson, and his face seemed to be shy, as if he was envious. He stood for a while before he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. She knew she wouldn't need to collect the water tonight.
Liu Su's side, under the service of the maid Jinmo, she also took a comfortable bath and washed her hair. I just sat down at my desk and was ready to record what I had learned in the past few days. But I heard a message from the plants in the yard about the main house.
Liu Su smiled and shook his head, but in the end he didn't comment more. Take out the key, take out a pen and paper and start recording.
Because of the harvest this time, it took Liu Su an hour to complete the recording.
Liu Su flipped through the thicker and thicker record book, and his mood suddenly improved. I think that in another year and a half, as long as it is not a rare and rare plant, I should be able to collect it in the register.
Turn off the lights and get a good night's sleep.
At the end of the next day, Liu Su picked up the morning exercise that had been stopped for a few days. When he was sweating profusely, a person stood out in front of him. It was still dressed in black, wearing the mask of the flower on the other side, and standing there with a tall body.
Liu Su slowed down for a while, stood up straight, and greeted him with a smile. "Uncle Qingsang, long time no see. It's been good lately. ”
"The deity is doing well, but Miss Liu Su doesn't seem to be doing very well. I haven't seen you for a few days, and it's black like this. is already mediocre, but now it is even more unsightly. Qingsang used a very flat tone and said teasing words. How to listen, how to make people feel how serious he is.
If Liu Su was really a little girl who was more than 8 years old, she would definitely burst into tears on the spot and be ashamed. It's a pity that Liu Su, an old woman in her 40s, didn't feel it.
"yes, or I'll have a mask too. Hey, that's right, like the two of us, we should really be like you, and go out every day. Not to mention scaring others, it's not good to scare yourself. Liu Su seemed to be talking to himself.
Hearing this, Qingsang looked stunned under the mask and suddenly smiled. "You little girl, you have a tricky mouth. Let's go to the house, where the two Blue Hunters are waiting for you. ”
In the alleys of the early morning, the sky was not yet bright, and a thin fog rose again. The figures, one tall and one short, walked one after the other, silent.
In an abandoned house
When the two of them saw someone coming, they bowed and saluted, "Your Excellency, Miss Liu"
Liu Suzhi didn't have any class concept, came to the table, and sat down. "Blue Hunt, Blue Leopard, sit down." After speaking, he found that the blue leopard was still hunched, and Qingsang was looking at him.
Liu Su reacted, and scolded in his heart, this evil respects and despicables society. "Uncle Qingsang, sit down, see how scared the two of them are the blue hunters."
Qingsang sat down silently.
Liu Su saw that they had already stood up straight. and did not call them to sit down. "Blue Leopard has worked hard. Can you tell me about the information you've gathered? ”
Blue Hunt has a relatively calm temperament, and at first glance he feels very reliable, which makes people feel very trustworthy at a glance. Perhaps that's why he chose to kill with ranged weapons.
Blue Hunt took two steps forward and said, "Miss Liu, I have already seen two shops in Chencangzhou, one was originally a restaurant, located on the main street of the city, with a large flow of people. Because of the bad food, the restaurant was seized. Now that the matter has come to an end, the government is renting and selling on behalf of the government.
The subordinates inquired, because the restaurant had died, no one had rented and sold for a long time, and the government now pressed the price very low, and the rent was only 500 taels a year. A one-time purchase of 3800 taels. Two floors with kitchen, attic, garden. A big place.
The other place is not in the downtown area, but on the corner of the street in front of the yamen of the state capital. The place is not big, it was originally a pen, ink and paper inkstone shop, one floor, only with a small courtyard, and a small warehouse.
The shopkeeper returned to his hometown to retire due to his age. He only sells but does not rent, and asks for 1,500 taels. ”
After saying that, Blue Hunt took two steps back.
The blue leopard took two steps forward, glanced at Qingsang, glanced at Liu Su with some embarrassment, blushed, lowered his head and replied, "Miss Liu, I have been wandering around the small county near Chencang Prefecture for three days, and if you want to say that Zhuangzi meets the girl's requirements, it is about 20 miles away from Dashu Village outside the city of Chencangzhou.
There is a Zhuangzi backed by 30 acres of good mountain, and the Zhuangzi with 10 acres of fields under the mountain. Due to the change of official position, the main family sold for 2,000 taels. ”
Liu Su listened to the two of them's returns, smiled and nodded. "Good work. Which of you two is staring at the current family in Huang County. ”
Blue Hunter stood up as soon as he heard the question. "Girl, it's a subordinate who is watching. When you went to Liushui County and came back in the evening, you saw the girl's letter, so you went to stare at it. ”
