There was a little throbbing pain in her stomach, Li Tian reached out and touched the purse on her waist, there were two mung bean crisps in it, before lunch, Mama Xiong secretly stuffed her with a bottle of water and a few mung bean crisps, and drank a bottle of cold water, but she really couldn't eat this shortbread, the mung beans that were stuffed were not peeled, the pie crust was not kneaded, and there was too much oil...... Over the years, she has been too pampered.

Li Tian sighed secretly, she had to leave here quickly, she couldn't eat or sleep well, she couldn't last long, she was a little in a trance this afternoon, such a tiger and wolf land, a little trance might kill her, she promised her grandmother that she wanted to live well, how comfortable and how to live, how to live freely!

The uncles finally couldn't help but set the fire, these days, not only themselves, but also Mama Xiong, Yingluo and Yue Niang are protecting themselves, and they are also very physically and mentally exhausted, this fire is really timely, and they actually use the extremely ostentatious means of arson, and a fool is a fool! Li Tian sneered at the corner of his mouth, it's okay, with this fire, the fire in Rongxuan Courtyard has become a headless public case.

Alas, Rongxuan Courtyard must be burned, the mother and grandmother's dowry is rich, everyone in the capital knows, burn Rongxuan Courtyard, so as to mix the water a little, maybe you can burn a little bit of those secretly coveted hearts, she is a helpless and weak orphan girl, and there is a mountain of silver behind her...... Li Tian shuddered, people's hearts are sinister, who knows what will happen!

Rong Xuanyuan was reduced to ashes, and if someone asked about the dowry books of his grandmother and mother, the account books of the past years, the house deeds, the title deeds, etc., etc., etc., he could pretend to be stupid, and no one could be sure whether these things were burned or where they fell.

I am only thirteen years old, because I am small, it is easy for people to ignore it, this is a good or a disadvantage, that is, too small, those shrewd and capable shopkeepers will put themselves in their eyes? Who knows what will happen to them...... Li Tian sighed secretly, I hope people's hearts are not too sinister.

Grandma arranged a lot of things for herself, including family affairs, and she also left a few reserves, but who knows how much wind and rain there will be in the future? Yan's house is a wolf's den, and the Li family is not a safe place to live, so he has to marry as soon as possible, and he has a stable husband's family to rely on, no matter how big the wind and rain and thunder are, he is not afraid.

Grandma set for herself the Leng family is a rare quiet home, Leng was born in poverty, after the pass on the marriage to the girl of the Lai Guo Gong Ding family, Mrs. Ding crossed the door, and added a family rule to the Leng family that no concubines are not accepted, this Mrs. Ding is a smart person, although the Leng master is a list of heirs, but there is no root, the Lai Guo Mansion has also failed over the years, if there is no such family rule, then the Leng family Lang is no matter how good, it is difficult to climb to a good family, but if there is this, coupled with excellent character and learning, it is much easier to get married. And the daughter-in-law she married must be the top of the family, if it weren't for this, her grandmother would not have ordered herself to the Leng family.

A strong tiredness hit, Li Tian was a little dizzy, I don't know what time it is, Yue Niang doesn't know if she has come back, Li Tian hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand and flicked it lightly on the coffin bed three times, and a lazy and cold voice outside whispered: "Here, rest." It was Yue Niang's voice, Li Tian's body and mind instantly relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Shopkeeper Cheng's side...... Okay? ”

"Same as a few days ago, I can't see anything special, Huang Da's shopkeeper is the big one, you don't stare at Huang Da's shopkeeper, but let me stare at Cheng?" Yue Niang finally found an opportunity to ask Li Tian this sentence.

"The shopkeeper Huang is the son of his grandmother's brother, he has been the shopkeeper for more than ten years, and he is proper everywhere, his grandmother can trust him, and I can trust him," Li Tian's words paused, Yue Niang laughed disapprerovingly, Li Tian sighed, and his voice was much lower: "The shopkeeper and the shop are in the open, but the shopkeeper Cheng and Sun Liu are in the dark, as long as the two of them are not messy, what really happened on the surface, we also have room for maneuver." ”

"Well, that's right, what about Sun Liu? Did you let Shopkeeper Cheng stare at it? ”

"No, Sun Liu doesn't need to be stared, he is a smart person, what good is it for him to betray me? Who will use him like I do? ”

This Sun Liuyuan was a well-known scoundrel in Nancheng. Li Tian was still young when he first arrived here, and once he was tired of walking on the street, he found a tea shop to drink tea and rest, Sun Liu and a group of scoundrels happened to be in that place, and several scoundrels saw that she was dressed ordinarily and neatly, and muttered and discussed abducting her to sell her for money, only this Sun Liu, saying that the old lady had an explanation, and she couldn't do anything without human flesh and blood, so she shook her hands and left. Of course, later the scoundrels abducted her out of the city, and she came back with Yue Niang, and the scoundrels never came back.

This Sun Liu is a very scheming person, seeing that something is wrong, he went out to look for Li Tian for two days, and when he came back, he looked for Li Tian everywhere, peeped behind her, looked at it for half a year, looked for an opportunity, knelt in front of Li Tian, and wanted to take refuge as a slave.

Sun Liu's abacus is shrewd, he can't write or fight, he doesn't have any skills, his family is poor, he has no support, but he wants to get ahead and live a good life, I don't know how many ideas he has played over the years, how many ways he has tried, but it doesn't work, and finally he has to plan to take refuge in a wealthy family as a slave, but he can inquire and inquire, then everyone employs people, the first talk is reliable, he is a twenty-year-old foreigner, and he is not as reliable as those who have been errands since childhood, that is, he is thrown in, and he will be the most inferior slave for a lifetime.

This Li family five ladies, a serious little lady of the Guogong Mansion, I heard that she is very rich, at this time while she is still young, she will join the slave early, and when she gets married in the future, she will be a companion, so she can also get a messenger to take care of it.

Li Tian only let him write the document of refuge, and did not enter the mansion, gave him five taels of silver every month, and asked him to hand over the three sects and nine streams, and inquire about some gossip in the market. After writing this Sun Liuwen, he took five taels of silver and went back with a shallow foot excitedly, and he knew that he was going on the right track, and his little master was by no means an ordinary woman.

Spend money to hand over the Quartet to make a bag to inquire, this messenger is really sent to Sun Liuxinkan, he likes and is best at this, and each piece of the messenger is done beautifully and neatly. However, in a year, Li Tian raised his usage to ten taels, and now Sun Liu receives one hundred taels of silver a month, and the monthly money is calculated separately, if there is another use, one thousand taels or less can be withdrawn from the shopkeeper Cheng with a word.

Cheng shopkeeper is the old man in the hands of Mrs. Lin, who was in charge of an antique shop in the south, was transferred to the capital by Li Tian two years ago, and said that he had changed to the owner, but in fact he received silver from Li Tian's hands, and opened two new small pawnshops in the capital.

As soon as the shopkeeper Cheng entered the capital, Li Tian let him meet with Sun Liu, and made a bright and dark partner, the shopkeeper Cheng established himself so quickly, Sun Liu's contribution was indispensable, Sun Liu took advantage of the small way of the shopkeeper Cheng in the official mansion, and in the past two years, he has become more and more mixed in the middle of the lower nine streams in the capital, and these two people are the most important backup that Li Tian laid for himself.

"Then how good is it for you to let Sun Liu stare at Shopkeeper Cheng, isn't it much better than me watching it for an hour or two a day?" Yue Niang chased.

"Sun Liu is in charge like Shopkeeper Cheng," Li Tian was silent for a long time before explaining in a low voice: "If you let him stare at Shopkeeper Cheng, it will chill his heart, for example, if I let you stare at Yingluo or Mr. Shui, or Mama Xiong, you won't be scared?" ”

"Speaking of which," Yue Niang stayed for a long time before she spoke: "In case the people around you ......" Yue Niang didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Li Tian's calm and steady voice: "Yue Niang, you are my dearest, like my grandmother, retreat to the extreme and say, there is really a case, I am willing to have no complaints." ”

"Don't worry, I have a breath and will protect you, Qiu Niang treats you as a daughter, Mama Xiong is your nurse, Yingluo and Qingzhi are absolutely trustworthy, and they are the shopkeepers outside...... Although people's hearts are sinister, there are still many good people, don't think too much, it's almost the middle of the night, hurry up and go to sleep. ”

"Well, call me early tomorrow." Li Tian confessed in a low voice, and couldn't help yawning, there are many, many important things tomorrow.

When Li Tian was woken up by Yue Niang, there was no light outside, Li Tian endured tiredness and sleepiness, pushed the bedding pillow out of the coffin bed, and grabbed the cotton cloak and wrapped it in a trembling manner, she confessed to two best friends, if she saw any unusual movements in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, she hurried over to save her as soon as it was dawn, these two are the masters who say the same thing in front of their mothers, and they should be able to arrive soon.

When the sky was flooded with the first dawn, the two fires in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion were finally extinguished, and there was nothing around Ruiyun Pavilion, although it was burned cleanly, but in addition to burning a few trees next to it, there was no harm or anything else, and the Dicui Building was miserable here, and the pavilions and pavilions in Rongxuan's courtyard were connected with verandahs, and the fire spread all the way and was extremely fast, and it burned down the huge Rongxuan Courtyard.

Ningyuan Marquis Yan Chengzhi's face was black and gray, and he stood in front of Rongxuan Courtyard, which was already a piece of rubble, and his wife Sun was like a frightened little hen, holding her mother-in-law's hand, following closely behind Yan Chengzhi, sobbing and crying.

The second master, Yan Chengqing, had a narrow face and a hooked nose, a vulture on his face, staring at Yan Chengzhi with a sinister gaze, and said in a strange manner: "This fire, it can't burn itself." ”
