Qingchuan Prefecture, Jinguan City.

Before the hour passed, the sun broke and the first rays of the morning shone into this mansion in the east of the city.

The green plants along the corridor have grown a few new leaves, and the few red flowers in the courtyard are overwhelmed by the visit of the dewdrops, and the people of the Liu family of "Jinsi Liu" pass through the courtyard, so busy that they don't have time to pay attention to this spring.

On the spacious stone street outside the gate, Li Niu was dressed in a strong suit and was directing everyone to do the final inspection.

Along the more than fifty carriages, Li Niu walked to the front step by step, arched his hand to Liu Chaoge, the father of Liu Weirui, the real owner of the Liu family, and said: "Family master, there are a total of fifty-seven carriages, and the eight hundred horses of the 'Splendid Golden Silk' have been counted. ”

Liu Chaoge is a middle-aged man with an elegant and handsome face but a pale face, he is dressed in gold silk brocade, and he is indescribably pure and noble.

"Ahem—"

After he covered his mouth with a square scarf and coughed a few times, he said sincerely with distress in his eyes: "Hard Lao Li, this is the first deal that Wei Rui's child has reached with the royal family with great difficulty, and I can rest assured that I will be escorted by you." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around, his face was slightly majestic, and he said to the young boy with a luxurious face and fair face on the side: "Little San, you are the most casual, this time your second brother suddenly fell ill and only you go, don't be idle along the way, everything has to be discussed with your Uncle Li, you know?"

At this time, Liu Zhaoling, who was leaning on the side of the carriage, was eighteen years old this year, and was a well-known lazy son in Jinguancheng, he looked up to the sky and patted his forehead, and said helplessly: "I know, uncle, you are not in good health, it is better to go back to the house quickly, you don't know that I am a person, get into the carriage, I will definitely stay in it and will not cause trouble along the way." ”

As early as a few days ago, he was very much looking forward to this trip to the White Emperor City, after all, there was a second brother Liu Zhaolang who could take him to play the imperial capital, but now it is good, so he can't catch up with the other party I don't know why he couldn't afford to be sick yesterday.

He asked casually: "Uncle, what kind of illness does my second brother have?"

Liu Chaoge patted Liu Zhaoling's shoulder, and said with a kind smile: "You don't have to worry about this, Miaozhen will come today, and I will let her go to see the situation." ”

"Why are you an adult, don't you dare to go out alone?"

"Where!"

Liu Zhaoling said very embarrassed: "I just think it's going to be boring along the way." ”

Liu Chaoge patted Liu Zhaoling's shoulder encouragingly, and said with a smile: "A man is just a lot of exercise, it is a good youth to break into the world, you can't shrink at home all day long, and the Liu family will have to rely on you to support you in the future." ”

Compared with Liu Zhaolang, the second young man of the Liu family, who has been full of evil deeds in Jinguan City, although the third young Zhaoling is a little loose and uninhibited, his character is quite good, and Liu Chaoge also values Liu Zhaoling a little more, maybe in the future, the position of the head of the Liu family will fall on Liu Zhaoling, who looks like a hanger in front of him.

Although according to the family rules, one's descendants will inherit the identity and power of the head of the family after their death.

But Wei Rui is a girl, as an old father's selfishness, he doesn't want his daughter to follow the caravan all day long, he just wants her to be a happy, healthy and healthy rich daughter.

After Wei Rui's mother died of excessive blood loss because she desperately gave birth to Wei Rui, everyone was persuading him to marry again, after all, Wei Rui is a girl, but his heart is dead, and he just wants to raise Wei Rui well.

In the case of discouragement, it has been almost 22 years since he raised his daughter to adulthood, and he knows his physical condition best now, relying on the only motivation of "raising his daughter to adulthood" is now almost to the limit.

But he is glad that he should be able to wait until his daughter's return this time.

When his daughter returns home, his twenty-second birthday is not far away, and he will give his baby daughter a chance to choose, whether to be the head of the busy Liu family or the happy rich daughter, the child can choose by himself.

It's a pity that it should be the last thing he can do for his child.

In the courtyard where Youwei liked to take care of the most, the flowers and plants were still green, and the loquat that she planted by herself yesterday was now a pavilion and would be twenty-two years old.

I wanted to wait until my daughter got married to cut it as a dowry, but it seemed that I couldn't wait that long, so I had to let my daughter plant a new one on the side.

Liu Chaoge accompanied Liu Zhaoling and Li Niu all the time, and after sending them out of the north gate, he got into the carriage with the help of the housekeeper Li Bin.

"Ahem......"

"Head of the house, your body ......"

Li Chan and Li Si's father is Li Bin, and it can be said that Li Bin is the most trusted person in Liu Chaoge's huge family.

Liu Chaoge shook his head and didn't speak, he didn't need to hide anything in front of Li Bin, he directly spread out the handkerchief covering his mouth in the palm of his hand.

The handkerchief woven of white silk is stained with blood like red plums, and the word "Liu" embroidered with gold wire on the corners is crooked, and the color has faded a lot.

After Liu Chaoge folded the handkerchief seriously, he breathed a long sigh of relief, only to see his body relaxed leaning against the carriage and said to Li Bin with a smile: "Brother Bin, I can't hold on for long." ”

He said in a steady voice: "Wei Rui, that child has been coldly looked at by those old immortals since she was a girl since she was a child, and now she is becoming more and more powerful, which is not what I want." ”

Thinking about it, Youwei's personality back then was much cuter. ”

Liu Chaoge's eyes wandered, shook his head, and simply closed his eyes.

Li Bin didn't answer, he looked at his best friend from childhood to adulthood with a sad face, knowing that the other party was sick and had no cure.

It wasn't until the carriage was about to arrive in front of the gate of Liu's house that Liu Chaoge asked calmly: "My two cousins have their own advantages now, and they have no heart to pick up this burden, you say that if Wei Rui doesn't become the head of the family, who do I choose?"

Li Bin did not feel flattered by the major event involving the change of power of the Liu family, and thought seriously with a frown.

He knew that Liu Chaoge wanted to ask him what he thought of Liu Zhaolang and Liu Zhaoling.

"Zhao Lang's mind is complicated, Zhao Ling's mind is simple, if you say who will lead the Liu family to develop better, Zhao Lang has more opportunities, if you think of waiting for you... After that, Wei Rui can live a little better, and Young Master Zhaoling is the first choice. ”

Liu Chaoge nodded, already having the answer in his heart.

He led the Liu family to squeeze into the top three of the ten families in Jinguancheng, and he didn't owe anything to the family, and he just wanted his daughter to be happy after his death.

In front of Liu's house, Liu Chaoge was about to get out of the car.

"Uncle Liu, why did you come out?"

"Didn't you tell you that it's easy to get cold in the early spring?"

The ethereal voice with a strange tone came from the mouth of a girl in green.

The girl's spring shirt, in front of the jade door.

Li Miaozhen is dressed in green and white, and she is still wearing her latest "jade beads" given to her by her best friend.

On her melon seed face, two light eyebrows frowned slightly, a pair of big eyes like black grapes were slightly widened, a fair and small Qiong nose was slightly flushed, pink cherry red lips were slightly pouted, and clear eyes like spring water stared straight at Liu Chaoge.

Since Wei Rui is not there, she is half of Liu Chaoge's daughter.

Li Miaozhen is the eldest lady of the Li family, the "medicine king Li" in Jinguancheng, and is Liu Weirui's best friend, others who have seen them all say that these two girls born on the same day are the two most delicate and noble flowers in Jinguancheng, Liu Weirui is the fragrant and elegant peony, and Li Miaozhen is the delicate and ethereal Hanlian.

She got up early in the morning today, and didn't want to be entrusted by her friends, so she came to Liu's house early with a medicine bag, but she didn't expect to meet Liu Chaoge.

She was angry, and with a slight movement of her feet, she directly held Liu Chaoge, who was about to get out of the car.

After standing firmly, Liu Chaoge patted the girl's head with a kind face and said, "Xiao Miaozhen seems to have grown taller again, don't worry, Uncle Liu is taking medicine every day according to your instructions." ”

"Hey......"

Li Miaozhen, as the heir of the Li family of the medicine king, how could he not know the true situation of Liu Chaoge.

She took the opportunity to hold Liu Chaoge's right wrist, and the family heirloom "Hundred Herbs Heart Sutra" quietly worked.

The human body is also a complete heaven and earth, the skeleton holds up the sky, the flesh and blood have turned into the earth, and the spirit has evolved into all living beings.

Through the inner vision of the mental method, Li Miaozhen was sad to find that although the tall body of the elder beside him was still upright, everything in the small world of that person's body was no longer lifeless, which meant that a person's heart fire would be extinguished, and he would not live long.

"How do I tell Wei Rui......

Li Miaozhen has never dared to tell her friends the truth, but Uncle Liu has reached the point where he can't seem to hide it anymore.

"What's wrong, Xiao Miaozhen?"

Liu Chaoge looked at the girl who was holding her wrist and bowed her head silently, and asked with a calm smile.

"Uncle, you ......"

Liu Chaoge patted the back of Li Miaozhen's hand, put down her little hand, and walked to Liu's mansion alone, leaving the lonely back to everyone present.

"Man lives a lifetime, whether short or long, and has his own way back. ”

In a five-entry courtyard in the southwest corner of Liu's mansion, the subordinates were driven out in silence, leaving only Steward Xu alone in the house of the second young master Liu Zhaolang.

"Miss Li. ”

Outside the courtyard gate, a maid shouted respectfully.

was called by Uncle Liu to see a doctor for that pants, Li Miaozhen looked unhappy, she looked at the group of people gathered outside the courtyard, and asked with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

The subordinates didn't dare to explain more, so they all lowered their heads.

Li Miaozhen is the eldest lady's best friend, they can't afford to mess with them, but nothing will happen anyway, but if they are hated by the second young master with a ruthless temperament, the future will not be easy.

"Humph!"

Li Miaozhen didn't care, and walked in across the courtyard gate by herself.

Some of those subordinates wanted to stop it, but one of them grabbed their sleeves and gave up.

"Smack!"

It was the sound of a cup breaking.

Li Miaozhen came to the outside of the house with the pants, and did not knock on the door to enter.

I only heard an angry voice inside:

"You said it failed?"

"Lao Tzu has hollowed out his current bottom, and he has overdrawn his future two-percent family fund in the extra bounty, you tell me that he failed?"

Li Miaozhen could hear that this was Liu Zhaolang's voice, but she was a little puzzled by the content of the words, she quietly leaned outside the door and planned to continue listening.

A slightly helpless man's voice said: "Young Master, Liuye Bookstore has the most complete task follow-up organization, and it is indeed a failure. ”

"So tell me what to do next?"

Liu Zhaolang in the room sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Xu Cao viciously, obviously a little confused.

Xu Cao poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Young master, you dissipate your anger, since Liu Weirui's cheap bitch is not dead and the mission has failed, then the contract we signed with that person will naturally be invalidated, and we don't have to hand over 20% of the family property." ”

"But what about the money I've already paid?"

Liu Zhaolang asked angrily.

Xu Cao took two steps forward and continued to comfort: "Young master, don't worry, it will take at least ten years for Liu Weirui and them to return to Jinguan City, and we still have a chance." ”

Liu Zhaolang stood up, pulled Xu Cao's sleeve and said eagerly: "Uncle Xu, what can we say, what else can we do?"

The viciousness in Xu Cao's eyes was fully revealed, and he said with an evil smile: "Young Master, there are actually only two steps before you become the master of the Liu family. ”

"The Liuye Book Company sent a letter saying that because the mission failed, if we still want to continue, in order to apologize, they will raise the mission level, and take the initiative to contact more powerful characters for us to make Liu Weirui disappear into this world with her caravan. ”

"It works!"

Liu Zhaolang clapped his hands and nodded in affirmation.

"It's just that maybe we'll give more possessions to impress that kind of character. ”

Liu Zhaolang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he already regarded the Liu family's property as something in his pocket, and two percent was already enough for him to feel pain.

"Young Master, we can't give up now, you have to know that after you become the real master of the Liu family, you will definitely be able to make more money. ”

"Shhhh

"Oh well. ”

Liu Zhaolang looked pained and continued to ask, "What about the second step?"

"The second step is to send the current head of the family to the west sky!"

The killing look on Xu Cao's face was undoubtedly revealed.

"Bang bang bang!"

Li Miaozhen, who was eavesdropping outside the door, could clearly hear her heartbeat.

She covered her chest with her small hands, and the Baicao Heart Sutra ran for two weeks before suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and she was already out of the door with a light move.

The subordinate door in Liu Zhaolang's courtyard was still outside the courtyard, and they all looked at the eldest lady of the Li family with a strange expression, after all, she had only been in for less than a moment, and they had never seen such a quick treatment.

Li Miaozhen stood still outside the door, feeling the gazes of those subordinates looking at her, and after weighing for a while, Silver Tooth bit her heart and threw out a piece of cyan powder directly from her sleeve, and everyone avoided it, and more or less inhaled some of it.

"Ahem"

"Ahem"

"Miss Li, what are you doing here?"

"Don't say I've been here, I'll give you an antidote when you need it. ”

As soon as the words were finished, Li Miaozhen was like a bird and there was no trace.
