"Later?" Tie Yushan glanced at me, a faint smile appeared on his resolute face, and said, "Later, the Yan family held a happy event, and the eldest son of the Yan family wanted to marry." Lao Tie was originally just listening to the excitement, but who knew that one night, a few decent people suddenly came to the shop, and they gave me a post. ”

My heart beats: "Yes-"

"Yes, it's the marriage between Madame and your father."

“……”

"Your father took her to overlook the whole of Chengdu from the highest tower in Xichuan, and everyone here went to see it at that time."

“……”

"Everyone says that the new lady of the Yan family is a heavenly immortal, but as soon as Lao Tie saw her eyes, he recognized that she was the one who asked Lao Tie to hit a dagger on a snowy day."

“……”

"Miss, you don't know how beautiful your mother looks when she wears a phoenix crown!"

Looking at his shining eyes, I smiled faintly: "I see, I can imagine." ”

Tie Yushan glanced at me, and immediately understood what I meant, and couldn't help but blush, and smiled wryly.

In fact, I think that he, the fearless monk, and the old man of the An family, may not have any affection for my mother, not to think about it, but my mother is probably a very special existence in their lives.

I didn't say anything more, I just asked, "What about then?" ”

"Later? The eldest lady must know that not everyone can get the post for your father's happy event, Lao Tie is a poor iron, and all the people he meets are nobles. Later, Mrs. gave me a sum of money, and took me to meet Mr. Jean An, and since then, their horseshoe has been handed over to me. ”

I nodded, and I understood that that was the fortune of Tieyu Mountain. You must know that An's horse farm is the largest in Xichuan, and their horseshoe nails are handed over to Tie Yushan, which is a huge business.

Later, I probably heard that Tieyushan's family background has become thicker, and he has also participated in the mining of some iron ore.

Up to now, Tiejia Qianzhuang has become the most indispensable economic lifeline in Xichuan.

Speaking of which, I still don't know what kind of woman my mother was before she became the eldest lady of the Yan family, and besides, after listening to so many people talk about the past, this mystery seems to be even more difficult to solve.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Tie Yushan was still immersed in the memory of the past years, but suddenly heard my sighing voice, and immediately came back to his senses, seeing the faint gloom in my eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

I looked up at the sky, it was not early, and I was about to go back, but as soon as I went out, I suddenly remembered one more thing, and turned back to Tie Yushan and said, "Uncle Tie, there is one more thing I want to ask, in addition to the things in this brocade box, does my mother have anything else in your place?" For example, silver taels or something......"

Before I finished my words, Tie Yushan suddenly turned pale and knelt down on one leg towards me.

I was frightened, and hurriedly wanted to help him, but I couldn't pull him at all, Tie Yushan stubbornly knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "Miss, I was just a poor ironworker, it was Mrs. who valued my craftsmanship, gave me the capital, and took care of him all the way, so Lao Tie has today's family business." If Mrs. wants to take it back, don't say it's this business, it's this life, and Lao Tie will never say anything! ”

I immediately understood that he thought I was testing him to see if he had hidden my mother's wealth to make this confession.

I hurriedly said, "Uncle Tie, I didn't mean that. If I suspect anything about you, I won't ask today. ”

After speaking, it took me some more effort to finally pull Tie Yushan up from the ground, his eyes were already a little red, and said: "In short, whatever the eldest lady wants, as long as you say a word, Lao Tie will obey her fate." ”

"Alright, I see what you mean."

I patted the back of the elder's generous hand, comforted him a few words, and then pushed the door and walked out, but the gloom in my heart became heavier and heavier.

Such a large sum of money, my mother has hardly used it, and it has not been revealed over the years. I originally had such a shadow in my heart after listening to Uncle Ai, and today I just asked in passing, but gradually I found that this matter really didn't seem to be as simple as I thought at the beginning.

And this jade plaque......

I subconsciously touched the hard thing in my arms, and when I walked out of the door, I heard a shout outside: "Who, what for?!" ”

Tie Yushan and I were stunned for a moment, and then we saw the old man who welcomed me in just now hurriedly walked over, and Tie Yushan said, "Old Mo, what's wrong?" ”

"Miss, sir, I just saw a dark shadow on the porch door, sneaky."

"What about the man?"

"As soon as I came, I ran away."

"Oh?"

Tie Yushan and I glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little solemn.

Only Aunt Hong and Uncle Tie know about me coming to Tiejia Qianzhuang, and I believe they will not betray me; Moreover, I came over like this today, which can be regarded as a "temporary intention", and I specially asked the fearless monk to clean up the people sent by the Yan family to follow me, I thought that this would be seamless.

Unexpectedly, I was still followed.

Who is it? With what purpose?

Since entering Sichuan, I have always felt that I am being watched, the accident in the small inn before, to the black shadow in the backyard of Tiejia Qianzhuang today, it seems that my feeling is right, in Xichuan, there is indeed a road that has been secretly following me. Their goal is me, and they're not there yet.

I frowned and said, "Uncle Tie, you're going to send someone to check the surroundings." I'll go back now, and there's someone waiting for me. ”

Tie Yushan hurriedly said, "I'll send someone to escort the eldest lady." ”

"No need, someone is waiting for me."

With that, I simply waved my hand at them and walked out. When I got out of Tiejia Qianzhuang and watched the people coming and going on the road in front of me, I felt in a trance, I don't know if one of these people was secretly following me and watching me.

I subconsciously looked left and right.

When I thought about it, I couldn't help laughing, if I really came to follow me secretly, how could I recognize it like this?

Thinking of this, I shook my head faintly and walked towards the way I came.

Soon I walked into the alley, only to find that it was empty, and even the fearless monk who had promised to wait for me here was gone.

What about people?

I looked to both sides, and I was the only one left in the narrow alley, and the noise from the streets at both ends gradually fell silent, as if I had suddenly entered an isolated environment. The already somewhat uneasy feelings became more and more turbulent at this time, thinking of the black shadow in the backyard of Tiejia Qianzhuang just now, and I couldn't help but feel a palpitation.

The fearless monk is not here, what if that black shadow is still following me?

I subconsciously reached out and stroked the jade plate in my arms, and slammed it on my chest, making me sweat coldly.

Just then, a hand reached out from behind my back and patted me on the shoulder.

My heart almost jumped out of my throat, and my whole body trembled, and I turned around suddenly, but I saw the fearless monk standing behind me, as if he was startled by me, and looked at me with wide eyes: "Miss? What's wrong? ”

"None...... Uncle Fearless......"

"Miss, why are you sweating so much? Is it hot? ”

He said as he flicked up his sleeves and fanned me. A faint breeze from my sleeves rushed towards me, and although it didn't bring any coolness, it still made me feel at ease as soon as I saw him. I breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Fearless, where have you been?" Why didn't you wait for me here? ”

"Oh, I remembered that the eldest lady told them when she was in the restaurant just now that she wanted to buy pine nut candy for them to eat, so I took advantage of the time to go over and take a look, who knows, the blind man actually sold out and closed the stall long ago. Sprinkle Jiabai ran away and couldn't get angry, so I simply went to another house to buy a little back, the taste was not as good as his family, but let Miss Sun coax her mouth. ”

I looked at the paper bag in his hand and couldn't help but smile.

I can't see that the fearless monk is so reckless, but he is coarse and fine, so that we will not be suspected when we go back like this.

So, the two of us didn't delay any longer, and hurried back to the restaurant.

When I went back, I saw that the shopkeeper was already serving.

I hurriedly walked over and sat down, Pei Yuanxiu looked at me with a smile: "I've been going for so long, have you bought it?" ”

I shook my head dejectedly: "Blame myself for being confused, usually his things are bought in line, it's so late today, he has already closed." I went to another house to buy some back," he said, and shook the paper in front of Li'er, and the girl's eyes immediately lit up, and I said, "Eat obediently first, and I'll give you something to eat when I go back." ”

"Good!"

I smiled, and when I raised my head, I saw Liu Qinghan, who was sitting opposite, looking at me, and when I met my gaze, he smiled faintly.

I laughed a little too.

At this time, the shopkeeper also sent the cup of boiling water cabbage, Li'er originally heard that this dish was very laborious, and thought it was some kind of big fish and meat, but when the lid of the cup was opened, it was actually a cup of clear soup, floating a few extremely tender and thin, almost transparent cabbage leaves, and immediately pouted in disappointment: "What! ”

I couldn't help but scold this girl for not knowing the goods, while holding a little soup with a small spoon, while whispering to her, these clear soups that can't even see a little oil star are hung out of hens, ducks, ham and scallops, and it takes a day of hard work to make them, even those few transparent cabbage leaves, which are also carefully selected, and the most tender cabbage hearts are used, and finally forced her to drink a few sips, she only shouted that there was no taste, and she refused to drink anymore, and I had no choice but to put it aside and let the shopkeeper serve her a bowl of rice.

Li'er grabbed the chopsticks, just took a bite of rice into his mouth, and was chewing, when he was suddenly stunned, and the whole person froze there.

"Hmm!"
