Mo Ran stopped Qin Liu, who was hurriedly packing his luggage, and said bitterly: "Girl, girl, that place in Yuquan Camp is extremely cold, it is said that the well dug out, the well water is bitter and astringent, and it is impossible to drink, only the water of one well can barely be drunk, so it is called Yuquan Camp...... It's really not suitable for a woman's house to live in......"

Qin Liu avoided ink dye and continued to pack his belongings: "Who said I had to go to the Yuquan camp?" Wouldn't it be the same to find a stable town or county seat to live in that neighborhood? Sister Mo Ran, you watched me grow up playing with Guangsi and Yongxiu, and now I have used Brother Xiu to rush all the way to the Yuquan camp, how can I not rush over? I don't have to follow you on this trip, I can go by myself. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was not good to stop the ink dyeing anymore, otherwise it would be because he was afraid of hardship to prevent the master from going out.

Ink dye sighed and went out to find her husband to discuss countermeasures.

The next day, Qin Liu had already set off in the carriage, except for the mother-in-law who was cooking, who stayed to guard the door, the rest of the people all followed Qin Liu and set off in the direction of Yuquan Camp. The housekeeper Ding Jicheng took the first step and rode to the vicinity of the Yuquan camp to find a place to stay.

Qin Liu had to sigh that the servants of the big families were really well-trained, quite disciplined, and highly motivated.

She just wrapped a red envelope for the New Year, and distributed monthly silver to these servants on time, and the affairs of the family were arranged clearly, and the accounts were clear and credible.

Qin Liu has opened a shop and done business, and she is the best at making money, and she knows the prices of various goods of grain, oil, rice and noodles when she goes around the market, and if there is fraud in the accounts, she can see it at a glance.

What Qin Liu didn't know was that the servants who could survive in the Liu family, which had strict family laws and a clean and noble family style, would have a sense of pride in their hearts, even if they were busy with the daily chores of the flies and dogs, they still had a period of integrity in their hearts.

The carriage traveled day and night for a few days and arrived in Anhua County, Qingyang Prefecture. The housekeeper Ding Jicheng rented a house in Anhua, and it was already cleaned up, and Qin Liu and the others could move in directly.

Looking at the newly bought pot lids and pots and pans in the house, Qin Liu felt strange in her heart, she casually picked up a teacup and asked, "How far is this Anhua County from Yuquan Camp?" ”

Ding Jicheng said with an embarrassed face: "There are still eight hundred miles of land. ”

Qin Liu's eyes looked at Ding Jicheng coldly.

This Ding steward is so bold! He obviously said that he was going to Yuquan Camp, but he made an initiative to place himself in Anhua County!

How long has it been since you started to be your own master?

Ding Jicheng only felt that his throat was dry. He half-bowed and explained in fear: "Girl, there is Lingzhou seven hundred miles to the north, but it is a bitter cold place on the border, and the girl is a golden body, so it is not suitable to get into danger." Even if you want to reunite with old friends, you can choose to be in Anhua County, which is much safer. ”

Qin Liu's fingers loosened, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"I don't care, I'll leave for Lingzhou tomorrow!"

"No, girl!" Ding Jicheng hurriedly took a few steps and knelt in front of Qin Liu, blocking her way, with the momentum of never giving up until he reached his goal.

Qin Liu shouted angrily: "Wang Wu, Li Liu, come and drag him down!" ”

Wang Wu and Li Liu were her two guards, but they listened to Qin Liu's orders to enter the house, but they hesitated, unsure whether to do anything to Ding Jicheng.

Ding Jicheng, who was kneeling, turned his head and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't you dare to listen to the girl?! ”

Wang Wu and Li Liu sent Ding Jicheng out of the house in a depressed manner.

Qin Liu looked at this farce with tears and laughter, this Ding Jicheng is a wonder!

After a while, Mo Dye, who was busy on the stove, entered the house to comfort Qin Liu: "Girl, don't be angry with my donkey. He just admits death, and he doesn't know what his identity is. In the early years, I followed Uncle Cheng En as a small servant for a few years, and after recognizing a few words, I regarded myself as a green onion. I went back to scold him at night, and Ming'er was allowed to come over and kowtow to the girl to admit his mistake! ”

Uncle refers to Liu Xuejiang's lobby brother Liu Chengen. can be a small servant with Liu Jian's eldest grandson, this Ding Jicheng must be outstanding.

The depression in Qin Liu's heart dissipated a lot.

Qin Liu chuckled.

"Feelings, this housekeeper Ding is afraid of his wife?"

Mo Ran smiled embarrassedly: "I'm not afraid of the girl's jokes, my family's donkey can let me in small things, but if it's a big thing, I can make up my mind better than anyone else!"

At that time, the wife of the Hu family was seriously ill, and the eldest lady was so anxious that she wanted to send someone back to Qin'an County to take care of her, but everyone else hid back, for fear of falling on herself.

Uncle Cheng En was going to prepare for the township test at that time, and he planned to give up the township test and go to Qin'an to fulfill his filial piety on behalf of his mother. It was this donkey in my family who kowtowed desperately to stop the uncle, saying that he would go on a trip for the uncle and would definitely serve the old lady with all his heart. As a result, when he returned to Qin'an, he never mentioned returning to the capital. ”

Qin Liu was curious: "Why doesn't he go back to the capital again?" ”

"The old lady of the Hu family has been sick for several years, and people have to worry about sending doctors and medicines, and the uncle of the Hu family is an official outside, and there is no one in charge of the family, so he can't do without him. Uncle Cheng En went to Qin'an to visit relatives after the township exam, and he also needed him Zhang Luo. Besides, he is gone, and Uncle Cheng En has a new little guy by his side to make up for it, and it is superfluous for him to return to the capital. ”

"How can it be superfluous?"

Mo Ran didn't say anything more, just cleaned up the house and went to the stove to prepare food again.

Qin Liu understood that his last question was a bit redundant.

The position of the little guy next to the eldest grandson of the first assistant, I don't know how many people want to sharpen their heads, and the competition must be fierce. Ding Jicheng can see it.

Thinking of his cousin Liu Chengen, Qin Liu's heart ached faintly.

The young man risked his life to escort his cousin Liu Xuejiang out of the sea of fire, and this was the time for Qin Liu to cross.

This kind of self-sacrificing enthusiasm made Qin Liu full of admiration and admiration for the cousin he had never met.

Siren has passed away, and Qin Liu has become a little more tolerant and generous to Chengen's cousin's former servant.

Early the next morning, Ding Jicheng came in with a gloomy face and kowtowed to Qin Liu to admit his mistake.

Qin Liu waved his hand and asked Ding Jicheng to get up: "Steward Ding, what you said is very true. Lingzhou is close to the border of the grassland, and it is much more dangerous, but I still can't go. Please help me bring a letter to my cousin Guangsi, saying that I am in Anhua, if he has time to come to Anhua for a small gathering. ”

Ding Jicheng was overjoyed: "The girl is wise! So good, so good! ”

"What are the characteristics of this Anhua County?"

Anhua County is the seat of Qingyang Mansion, and the palace of King Anhua is also in the county, known as the "granary of Longdong". Prairie people often invade Huamachi near Lingzhou, and there are not many who come to Anhua to wreak havoc, and it can be regarded as a stable place. ”

Qin Liu was curious: "What kind of place is Huamachi?" ”

"Huamachi is the largest salt production area in the territory of Shaanxi Dusi, and salt is regularly sold in northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong, and even in the prefectures and counties of Hanzhongfu, Ningxia and Longdong and Longxi. Since the beginning of the day, the salt there has been exchanged for a lot of vigorous Xixia horses. When the grassland tartars are short of salt, they often come to the flower horse pond to invade. ”

Salt lake!

That's a treasure!

Qin Liu's harazi is about to flow out. (End of chapter)
