"The concubine is Liu Yueshan, and she is from Jinguancheng. ”

Liu Yueshan's real age is actually less than two years older than Wang Xiuwei, and her face is specially smeared with mud like Taijing, and a gentle face can be vaguely discerned under the mud.

Mu Qing asked, "Then what happened to you?"

Liu Yueshan's fingers were not stained with the slightest mud, and they were much cleaner than the face she had deliberately covered. She trembled and stretched out her hand, touched her little face in swaddling clothes, covered her little face with soft white cotton cloth, and finally accepted the reality.

She bowed her head and said tearfully: "My husband is the commander of the White City Lord's personal guard, but he was betrayed by his own brother on the night of the incident. My children and I were sent out of the city thanks to my husband's loyal men, but unfortunately, those brothers never came back to stop the pursuers. ”

Mu Qing frowned and said, "White City Lord?"

Wang Yeqing really understood at once, and explained: "It should be Bai Ting from Jinguan City." ”

"Yes. Liu Yueshan muttered: "It happened so suddenly, I was woken up in my sleep by someone shouting at me, and I didn't bring anything except the child. ”

Mu Qing asked, "You go this way, do you still have any family members on the side?"

Liu Yueshan was stunned, and said numbly: "It's gone, it's gone now." ”

Wang Xiuwei guessed: "Is it because he was implicated in an accident?"

Liu Yueshan's eyes were calm and said, "My father didn't let me in that night, and I didn't want to implicate them, so I left by myself." Later, I had no choice, so I mixed in with the refugees and followed them for a few days before I came here. Fortunately, those people saw that I was carrying a child, took some care of me, and occasionally got some food, otherwise I would have died a long time ago. ”

"The daughter who marries out, the water that spills out, if the husband's family is gone, how can there be any mother's family. Wang Yeqing sat on the side and shook his head, looked at Liu Yueshan and said: "Since your husband is the commander of the guard, presumably you, as the head of the family, are in charge of internal affairs, and you still have some ability, I don't know what you are good at?"

Mu Qingxing's eyes lit up, knowing that Wang Yeqing planned to leave Liu Yueshan behind, Liu Yueshan also understood what everyone meant, she was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Before I got married, I used to manage the business for the family for a period of time, and I was able to clear the accounts and check the accounts. ”

This woman's ability is not something that ordinary people can grasp, Mu Qing has some bottom in his heart, and looks at Wang Yeqing and says, "Madam, what do you think?"

Wang Yeqing shook his head and smiled: "It's not what I think, even if I go back to Vermilion Bird City and have to open a shop for my livelihood, it's a small matter, you should ask her." ”

Wang Xiuwei looked at Liu Yueshan and nodded, "Sister, you can be regarded as a fugitive." ”

Liu Yueshan lowered her head and hummed softly, Mu Qing was also a little embarrassed, Wang Xiuwei hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand what I mean." She smiled and said: "I heard that the daughter of the city lord of Jinguan City also escaped, and this Shule City is so strict, maybe it is also related to this matter." You don't have to worry too much, you just come with us. ”

Liu Yueshan nodded, seeing that Mu Qing and Wang Xiuwei didn't seem to be a family, she shook her head again, looked at Mu Qing and asked, "I don't know if Engong and this girl are together?"

Mu Qing nodded and said, "We are together, I should go all the way to Vermilion Bird City with Sister Xiuwei." ”

Wang Xiuwei chuckled and said, "Brother, you misunderstood what Sister Liu meant, you and I can only be regarded as friends, not together." ”

Liu Yueshan hesitated for a moment, but still said seriously: "Please forgive Miss." ”

"Oh, don't want to?" Wang Xiuwei understood what Liu Yueshan meant.

Mu Qing was about to frown and speak, Liu Yueshan looked straight at him and said, "Childe wants me to repay the favor, I don't know if there is a shortage of people in Childe's family, even if it is the work of serving tea and pouring water, I can do it." ”

"Poof-" Wang Xiuwei had a smile in his eyes, looked at Mu Qing and said: "It should indeed be the case, since Sister Liu knows that you and I are only friends on the same road, if you want to repay your kindness, you should also repay your kindness, how can there be a reason to repay the wrong object." ”

Mu Qingjian's eyebrows were slightly urged, and he wanted Liu Yueshan to repay the favor, but it was because the other party's heart was about to die, and he wanted to give the other party a gap to live, how could he have thought that things would fall on him after a long time.

Liu Yueshan saw that Mu Qing had been silent, gently patting the swaddling clothes in her arms, her mouth opened and closed silently, as if babbling to sleep, she raised her head, held back a smile for the first time and said: "Childe doesn't have to be so embarrassed, just wait for the child to be buried, and I can find a job to live." ”

Wang Yeqing raised her eyebrows, she didn't speak, her husband died and she had no children, not to mention an ordinary woman who had no cultivation, if everything fell on her head, she asked herself, I am afraid she would not be able to hold on. Her mother's house is not home, and in this troubled world, this woman said that she would cut herself off after burying her child.

Liu Yueshan's smile was extremely dazzling, and after being extremely sad, the smile that came out really didn't want to drag down the sincere willingness not to want trouble.

Mu Qing looked at Liu Yueshan, sighed, and said seriously: "I am silent because I am used to it alone and have no fixed place. ”

He blinked and smiled, "In other words, I'm an orphan and I don't have a home. ”

Wang Xiu's eyes widened, and the curiosity in his eyes was very strong, but he didn't ask anything. Wang Yeqing sat aside and pursed her lips slightly, but she was more and more sure of one thing, she rearranged all the information and possibilities in her heart, and came up with the most reasonable information at present, that is, Mu Qing is not from the Xishan Lin family, and there will be Mu Qing's rescue that night, which is most likely related to Liu Weirui, as for what happened to Mu Qing and Liu Weirui, she couldn't guess.

When Mu Qing said that he was an orphan, he was actually observing Wang Yeqing, who he had been vigilant about, and when he saw the other party's eyelids moving slightly thoughtfully, he took the initiative to smile at Wang Yeqing and asked, "I don't know if Mrs. Wang has returned to her hometown this time, but there is an old mansion vacant?"

Wang Yeqing raised his head and looked at him and asked, "Do you still want her to be with us?"

Mu Qing shook his head and said: "No, if Mrs. wants to buy a mansion yard at that time, you can see where there are vacant mansions for sale, I should have five hundred taels of gold on me, I don't know if I can buy a mansion?"

"Should it be five hundred taels of gold?" Wang Yeqing was puzzled, but said with a smile: "My husband's old mansion in Vermilion Bird City has already been sold, and I really have to buy a new mansion when I go back this time." If there are not many people, a set of three-entry courtyards is the most suitable, no matter how good the location is, it should not exceed eight hundred taels, and the three-entry houses near the city lord's mansion in Jinguan City are also at this price. ”

"Eight hundred taels ......" Mu Qing was not sensitive to silver money, Wang Xiuwei calculated it for him on the side and sighed with a smile: "Almost sixty taels of gold, your money can buy a bigger one." ”

Mu Qing had a bottom in his heart, and before he could open his mouth when he looked at Wang Xiuwei, Wang Xiuwei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll help you pay attention to it when the time comes." ”

Mu Qing snorted and looked at Liu Yueshan and said, "I don't like to do things halfway, then you can be my housekeeper, but you can't sit back and eat, and the rest of the money is feasible for you to do business?"

"Let me do business?" Liu Yueshan's eyes twitched.

Mu Qing glanced at Wang Xiuwei, and then asked Liu Yueshan suspiciously, "No, didn't you say that the business you once managed for your family for a period of time is fake?"

"It's not. Liu Yueshan hurriedly shook her head and said, "Childe, you misunderstood the meaning of the slave." That's when she changed her tune.

Liu Weirui and Wang Xiuwei gave Mu Qing a preconceived feeling, in fact, it is not a very common thing for women to do business, and it is not a long time for women who have no backbone in the family to come out and show their heads.

And Liu Yueshan hesitated in her heart, completely because Mu Qing directly wanted to hand over the remaining money from the purchase of the mansion to her to do business, and she was a little at a loss for a while.

After buying the house, even if there were only four hundred taels of gold left, it would be more than five thousand taels of silver. You must know that her deceased husband Jungui is the commander of the guard, and the status of the military general has improved in the past two years, and the annual salary is less than five hundred taels of silver, plus various rewards, the family property has accumulated to this amount, how could Mu Qing directly hand over so much money to her to take care of?

"That's the difference between ordinary people and us. Wang Yeqing looked at Liu Yueshan with interest, and couldn't help but think of the girl she had saved, and now she has become her sister-in-law, Liu Ruxue, the owner of Xiaohong Mansion.

Wang Yeqing has become a Heavenly Rank Assassin, and she has not completed the mission for a long time, but the money she has accumulated has long been just a number.

What Wang Xiuwei went to Xiaohong Mansion to retrieve that day was a box full of gold leaves and several large boxes of silver. Wang Xiuwei vaguely guessed that she had a profit in Xiaohong Mansion, but she didn't know that in fact, the real owner of Xiaohong Mansion was her, she provided Liu Ruxue with a large amount of gold and silver, and also blocked the black hand several times behind the scenes, so that there is now the "Xiaokan Red Wet Place" in Jinguan City.

And so is the Bright Moon Tower in Suzaku City.

But these are her pasts, Wang Yeqing doesn't want her daughter to be involved too much, Wang Xiuwei opened a rouge shop, which is safe and stable, and has the ability to protect herself, which is the best in her eyes.

Liu Yueshan's voice said intermittently: "My mother's family is engaged in the trading of medicinal materials, and I have contacts and cooperation with the Li family in Jinguancheng, but I haven't done these things for a few years, after all, so much money ......."

"Is there a trade in medicinal herbs?" Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and his sword eyebrows stretched and smiled: "That's right, Vermilion Bird City relies on Tiannan Swamp Forest, the largest natural medicinal material land, it should be able to do it, so it's decided." ”

"Ugh. Liu Yueshan's eyes were a little dazed and helpless, and she didn't know why Mu Qing couldn't understand what she meant.

Mu Qing smiled and said in a calm tone, "You just have to do it first." When the time comes, I will write a letter and ask Miss Miaozhen to hand over the matter of purchasing medicinal materials in Vermilion Bird City to you in the future, and then there will be more opportunities to contact Jinguancheng. ”

Liu Yueshan asked softly, "Is it the eldest lady of the Li family in Jinguancheng, Li Miaozhen?"

Mu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, my relationship with her is okay, and this matter is not much of a problem." ”

Before the shop opened, the big customer was found, Liu Yueshan really couldn't think of any reason to shirk it, she bowed her head to Mu Qing and said, "The maid must do her best for the son." ”

"Just do it. Saved a person, and arranged the things he was worried about by the way, Mu Qing looked at Liu Yueshan with a faint sense of kindness in his eyes and said: "In addition, since you have become the housekeeper of my house in the future, then it will be considered a family, don't call yourself a slave concubine like this, let's call ourselves sisters and brothers, you can change my brother and Mu Qing, I will call you Sister Yueshan." ”

Liu Yueshan hurriedly refused: "How can this work, there is a difference between respect and inferiority since ancient times, even if I become a housekeeper, I am just a subordinate." ”

Mu Qing shook his head and said: "I don't care so much, I have the final say, in the future, Sister Yueshan, don't pay too much attention to this difference between dignity and inferiority, otherwise it will make me angry." ”

"Say it again. Mu Qing sighed and said: "I can't let others know about the relationship between you and me, I am often not at home, and you have to make your own decisions about many things." ”

Liu Yueshan was puzzled: "Why is this?"

Mu Qing shook his head and was silent, his practice of treating the fallen women as equals made Wang Yeqing look at it a little, and explained for him with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Mu Qing Gongzi does this, it can be regarded as protecting you, you live well, and do what you just said for him, it is the best reward for him." ”
