Chapter 1 Crossing
The August sun shines through the sparse leaves of the ginkgo trees into the lake, and an autumn wind blows, sparkling on the surface of the lake, like a shimmering shimmer of broken stars.
On a small road by the lake, an inconspicuous ordinary black painted carriage was slowly approaching, and in a moment it stopped under the ginkgo tree.
The driver was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, his lean body was wearing a slightly wrinkled crimson robe, and his dark face was not outstanding, but judging from the texture of his clothes, he looked like a servant of an official in the capital.
I saw him glance left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he tiptoed close to the carriage, quietly lifted the curtain in front of the car and glanced in, and then immediately put it down, and then leaned back and slowly exhaled a breath, muttering in his mouth: "Cousin, don't blame the little one, if the little one doesn't sneak you out, I'm afraid the two lives of the little one and the old lady won't be saved!" β
After saying this, he quickly glanced around, and said hurriedly and quietly: "Cousin, if you have the opportunity to take revenge in the future, you must not look for me, I tell you, the person who wants to harm you is none other than ......"
"Liu Cheng!"
"Hey! Heyβ"
The driver who was talking to himself, that is, Liu Cheng, was so frightened by this call that he was about to break out in a cold sweat!
Good boy! My mother said that you can't talk bad about people behind your back, it's really not wrong at all!
He glanced at the person who came, quickly raised his sleeves and brushed the fine sweat on his forehead, and then trotted forward a few steps with a smiling face and a flattering face, and said cautiously in front of the man: "Second master, I brought it to you!" β
And what he didn't know was that the moment he turned around, the woman in the carriage trembled lightly and slowly opened her eyes, and the flash of light in her eyes showed that she had been awake for a long time!
The second master outside the carriage hummed and slowly approached the carriage.
saw that he was wearing a dark blue moire silk brocade robe covering a slightly chubby figure, with a round face and big ears, and a slightly yellowish complexion. It was supposed to be a blessing, but it was destroyed by those inverted triangular eyes.
This person is the second master of the Xia family, one of the top ten families in the capital, Xia Cunlu.
"Liu Cheng, you did a good job in this matter! Someone in the car? β
"Back to the second master's words, exactly, but the little one used some drugs, and he should still be asleep at this time!"
Xia Cunlu squinted his triangular eyes and walked to the front of the car, stretched out an index finger and lightly picked up the curtain to look in, and a sneer hooked up on his lips, as long as this girl is dealt with, then ......
"Good!"
Xia Cunlu put down the curtain and turned around and patted Liu Cheng's shoulder, then stroked his two mustaches, and said with a hint of appreciation: "You have done a good job in this matter, I remember this credit, and I will find a good errand for you in the mansion to do it!" β
As soon as Liu Cheng heard this, he nodded and bowed towards Xia Cunlu with a smile on his face, and said uncontrollably: "Thank you, Second Master!" Thank you, Second Master! β
For Liu Cheng's acquaintance, Xia Cunlu was still very satisfied. He reached out and took out a small purse from his arms and touched it, hesitated slightly, his eyes swept over Liu Cheng, who was bowing to him, and finally made up his mind and threw the bag into his arms.
Liu Cheng subconsciously hurriedly caught it with both hands and protected it in his arms, and was secretly guessing what it would be, when he suddenly heard Xia Cunlu say: "Later, send people to Qingsong Lane, and the silver in this will be yours!" β
"Yes, Second Master! Green...... Green Pine Lane? β
Liu Cheng reacted consciously and glanced at Xia Cunlu in some surprise, but he hurriedly lowered his head again, not daring to show his too surprised expression in front of Xia Cunlu!
Good boy! No one in this capital knows that Qingsong Lane is Jia Bocheng's mansion, and Jia Taiwei's daughter is now the favorite concubine of His Majesty the Emperor, in addition to the Prime Minister, I am afraid that the Jia family is in the limelight!
I don't know if the Jia family is too favored by the royal family or for some other reason, but it is not so satisfactory in terms of heirs. Jia Taiwei has three sons under his knees, the eldest son died in the early years of the war, and although the second son is now also holding the position of Zhongshu Temple, he only has two daughters; The third son can be regarded as a fight, so he left one for his Jia family, but in the past ten years, no male has been born in their Jia Mansion except for girls!
As the only grandson of Taiwei Jia, Jia Yuliang is sixteen years old this year, but because he has been pampered by all kinds of people since he was a child, he doesn't know anything about Wen Taowu, and he eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles! There is no way, when he was a child, Mrs. Jia felt that it was just such a lone seedling, and it was normal to pet him, and Mr. Jia's wife loved his grandson more than him.
Not to mention the people in the house, it is the widowed eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law who is now in charge of the family, and the only third daughter-in-law who gave birth to a son, which one didn't spoil him to heaven when he saw him?
Not to mention the sisters in the family, if any one provokes Jia Yuliang, the result will be as if they have done something angry and resentful, they will be scolded by the family collective, and they will be corporal punishment, and ordinary people can't bear that situation!
That's it, this Jia Yuliang grew up in a honey jar when he was a child, and if he wants to be windy, if he wants to rain and rain, it's just a matter of time before he grows crooked!
And Liu Cheng heard Xia Cunlu say that he wanted to send his cousin to Qingsong Lane, and he was not surprised that it was fake! You know, the most talked about thing about this gentleman is his lust! Although he is only sixteen years old this year, I heard that he has known personnel since he was twelve years old, and the women who have been ruined by him in the past few years are unknown, but the victim's family can only swallow their anger and suffer a dumb loss due to the power of Jia Taiwei, and those women will either be compromised, or become a monk, or commit suicide, or they will be tortured to death! Few have had good results.
And now looking at the meaning of Second Master Xia, it is clear that he wants to send his cousin to death!
Liu Cheng's heart trembled and trembled, only to feel that the silver in his arms suddenly became scorching, so hot that his arms couldn't help but tremble lightly a few times!
Seeing that Liu Cheng's face changed, Xia Cunlu glared at him with some displeasure and said, "What? Think the silver is hot? β
Liu Cheng actually wanted to nod when he heard this, it was true, but he didn't dare! Now his wife is still working in the Zhuangzi under the jurisdiction of Mrs. Xia, and the deed of sale of their mother and son is still in the hands of Mrs. Xia, the second room of the Xia family, even if they run for a while, they can't run away!
"Second master, this, this, cousin girl, she's still young...... Besides, she is ...... after all" Liu Chengna, I don't know how to say it. What he wants to say, I'm afraid Xia Cunlu knows it better than him!
When Xia Cunlu saw him say this, he thought that Liu Cheng was thinking about him, so he was not so angry between his eyebrows. He swept the carriage with a trace of contempt, then snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, I never do anything that I am not sure of!" β
ββ¦β¦ Yes, Second Master! β
