Chapter 10: The Handmaiden Xiaolian
Nan'an City.
Luoyang Street, the site of Tingfeng Building.
In the early morning, the landlord Xiao Liuxin, as in the past, was standing in an attic on the top floor, leaning against the window, looking at the lively street market outside.
Xiao Liuxin has a habit of standing in this place every morning and stopping and looking out the window at the street for a while, he likes this feeling of being in a high position.
I have to say that Xiao Liuxin is a very courageous and capable person, Tingfeng Lou has grown stronger and stronger under his management over the years, and he has a faint way of fighting against Luo's.
Later, under the pressure of the Luo family, Xiao Liuxin had to take Luo Jiuyue, the only son of the Luo family, into the building, at first he didn't care about Luo Jiuyue, it was rumored that Luo Jiuyue was not suitable for cultivation by nature, and he was only accepted into the building to stabilize the Luo family's guard.
But in the end, he found that Luo Jiuyue could not only cultivate, but also had already broken through the realm of one-dimensional rebeginning, and even faintly broke through the three-flower gathering top.
Xiao Liuxin is a person who is eager to seek talents, otherwise if he is allowed to cultivate to a high level, it will be difficult to grow Tingfeng Lou with a lonely palm, so he has been taking good care of Luo Jiuyue since then, and even passed the Moon Blade to him early.
It's almost the treatment of the mantle!
Xiao Liuxin dared to pass on the Moon Blade to him, not only because of his cultivation qualifications, but also through long-term contact, he could see that Luo Jiuyue was not the kind of person who would do anything for the sake of the family's prosperity.
This man doesn't like fighting, but he is unusually protective.
After a hundred years, the position of the landlord will be passed on to him, that is, it will not develop and grow, and it will not decline.
The original meaning of the creation of the Wind Tower was not to fight for power and profit, but to find a place to live in this world!
Xiao Liuxin never understood!
Luoyang Street is the largest long street in Nan'an City, with various shops lined up on the street, and there is an endless stream of people passing by. Even in the early morning, all kinds of cries and cries came and went.
What a lively street market!
"Landlord, your morning tea!"
Just when Xiao Liuxin was looking at it, a maid in green brought morning tea.
"Put it there!"
"Yes, landlord. ”
Everything is as it was before!
Just as the green-clothed maid was about to retreat, Xiao Liuxin called out to stop her.
"Little Lotus!"
Boom!
The absent-minded maid Xiaolian was startled by Xiao Liuxin's sudden voice, and accidentally hit her head on the door frame, and she screamed in pain!
"Huh, what else does the landlord command?"
Xiaolian asked with a sneering bow.
chuckled, and said to Xiaolian, who was covering her head, "What are you thinking in a panic?"
"Slave...... The slave didn't think about anything, so she accidentally touched it. ”
Xiaolian lowered her head and replied in a panic.
"Is it that the hall master was transferred to Chuzhou City by me, don't you like it?"
Looking at the flustered Xiaolian with interest, Xiao Liuxin couldn't help but laugh.
"Where should the master go, the slave and maid dare not judge. ”
Xiaolian was about to cry, she was a weak woman who was powerless, and she was already nervous in the face of Xiao Liuxin, a giant, and Xiao Liuxin asked a few more words at the moment, and she was so frightened that she could barely speak.
"Don't be afraid, I don't mean anything else, you don't have to treat me as the landlord today, just treat me as your big brother, and talk to you casually. ”
"Xiaolian doesn't dare to climb high!"
Xiaolian's panicked appearance also looked a little bit like a small jasper.
Xiao Liu said in his heart, it's no wonder that the hall master will take a fancy to this girl, it is indeed a bit pitiful for me!
"By the way, I remember that when I took a cadre of the elders in the building south to Miaojiang, you rescued you from Miaojiang, right?"
That was eight years ago, when Tingfeng Lou was rapidly expanding its sphere of influence, and it was originally a smooth journey, but it encountered obstacles in Miaojiang.
The land of Miao Jiang, since ancient times, does not often communicate with the outside world, but its strength is not to be underestimated, Miao Jiang is tens of thousands of miles away from hundreds of Miao villages, and these hundreds of Miao villages are headed by the largest 18 Miao villages.
Listening to the wind is to meet the largest Jiuli Village, I heard that Jiuli Village is handed down from ancient times, has existed to this day, its strength can be called terrifying!
Jiuli Village is said to be a descendant of the ancient Chiyou!
The people of Miao Village are not only extraordinary, but also proficient in the art of poison Gu, which is difficult to guard.
That time, Tingfeng Lou suffered a heavy loss!
Xiao Liuxin received the news, so he led the elders of Tingfeng Lou to go south in person, and it took considerable effort to achieve the victory.
It's a pyrrhic victory!
In that battle, Tingfeng Lou lost four masters of the Sanhua Gathering Peak Realm, all of whom were veterans in the building, brothers who accompanied themselves from birth to death and fought for many years.
On the way back, passing by a small town, an injustice was encountered, and several big men were surrounding a weak woman in an attempt to misbehave. Xiao Liuxin and the others saw it, and they were indignant in their hearts, they were all people in the rivers and lakes, and they all had a bit of chivalry, although they were a little striving for fame and fortune, but they were also above board. Xiao Liuxin asked Luo Yuxin to kill those villains and save the woman.
That woman is the little lotus in front of her.
At that time, she was homeless, and Luo Yuxin felt pity, so she proposed to Xiao Liuxin to take her back to the building and arrange some idle chores, which could be regarded as a place to live.
In this way, Xiaolian followed them all the way to Nan'an City, and has been until now.
"The landlord's life-saving grace, Xiaolian has always kept it in mind, although Xiaolian doesn't understand and won't do anything else, but she also knows that the grace of saving her life will be repaid, and the landlord and the landlord have taken good care of Xiaolian in the building over the years. ”
After a pause, he knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Liuxin and continued.
"The kindness of the landlord, Xiaolian will never forget it for the rest of her life!"
Xiao Liuxin didn't expect Xiaolian's reaction to be so big, and he was a little overwhelmed by Xiaolian's kneeling like this.
"Hurry up, little lotus. ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and helped Xiaolian up, and said, "I said that you will treat me as your eldest brother now, and you don't need to kneel down to treat your eldest brother." ”
This girl,
Since she brought her back to the building, Xiao Liuxin has really treated her like a sister!
But Xiaolian is more stubborn, and she has to find something to do, even if it is a trivial matter, so that she can feel at ease.
"By the way, Xiaolian, if I'm not mistaken, you should be eighteen years old this year, right?"
Xiao Liuxin suddenly asked.
"Hmm. ”
"Eighteen, it's time to talk about marriage. He took a sip of the warm tea that Xiaolian had just given, and continued.
"Do you have a favorite?"
Xiaolian lowered her head shyly, and a mosquito-like voice spit out of her mouth.
"No, Xiaolian just waits for Lou...... Big brother is very good. ”
Seeing Xiao Liuxin frowning slightly when he heard his words, he quickly changed his words.
Hearing Xiaolian change her name to her eldest brother, Xiao Liuxin was overjoyed and spoke again.
"What do you think of the Fallen Hall?"
"Ah? The lord of the hall is majestic and graceful, and in my heart he looks like a hero. ”
"Haha~"
Hearing Xiaolian's words, Xiao Liuxin suddenly laughed, it seems that this girl also has some meaning to Luo Yuxin's kid.
"Okay, then today the eldest brother will make the decision for you and marry you to the lord of the hall. ”
"Lou...... The eldest brother doesn't want it, Xiaolian just wants to stay by the eldest brother's side and take care of the eldest brother, and she doesn't dare to think about the hall master. ”
"What's wrong with it, you're my sister, he's my brother who was born and died with me, what's wrong with it? Or do you not like him?"
"Ah, Xiaolian, Xiaolian......"
"Haha, it seems that I like it, then it's decided, the children of the rivers and lakes are informal, tomorrow I will send someone to send you to Chuzhou City, and you will prepare for marriage. ”
"Brother Xie. ”
After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Liuxin again, this time Xiao Liuxin didn't stop him, from a certain point of view, he is Xiaolian's elder, and now he is a matchmaker.
This worship can be regarded as bearable.
