Chapter 44: A Thousand Miles to Find Relatives

Fengmanlou's rules, no more guests after dawn, no guests can be left after noon. The overnight guests will leave in the morning, and the girls will also remind each other.

Do this line of work, fold life.

The girls are indispensable for rest, and the old mothers in the backyard often cook some nourishing ingredients and medicines. Feng Manlou is really good to the girls, but to make a living in this business, the old bustard is soft-hearted, and the girls who are too poisonous want to commit suicide and hang themselves, let alone can't.

Liu Jian was thinking about this question at the moment, if he was to be in charge of Fengmanlou, how would he deal with these girls?

sighed, he really wasn't the material to manage the Qinglou, it was estimated that Feng Manlou would not stay in his hands for a few years, and he would go out of business because there was no young girl. Liu Jian thought about it again, except for the little mosquito who was close to him, and the little girl in the room, what did other people do with him.

But these little girls have been exposed to it all year round, and they have already determined the way forward. When he really took over Feng Manlou, he asked them if they wanted to go or stay, whether they were to be a Qingqi person or sell themselves to earn money, all according to their wishes.

The little girl ran and said that someone was going to ransom a certain girl, which made the women in the room move, because this kind of ransom had not happened for two or three years, and I don't know who had successfully hooked up with a rich high-roller.

Ransom?

Liu Jian was surrounded by more than a dozen big girls and little girls, Die Wu pulled Shu Ge to follow them, and the two old mothers hurriedly walked to make tea. This made Liu Jian somewhat funny, because he knew that this was just a farce directed by Zhang Qing.

But my own senior brother's efficiency is really not enough. Before he died last night, he didn't tell Butterfly Dance about today, because he wanted to surprise her, so that she would leave here tonight and let herself hide her golden house......

There was no flower hall in the backyard to receive guests, and the front building was closed at this time and could not receive guests, so those guests could only stand by a flower garden and wait.

There was an old mother standing on the side, and there were five or six nurses guarding not far away. More than a dozen girls who came to hear the news had already gathered here, all saying that they didn't know which little girl had a good life, but there was really a family to look for her.

"It's coming, it's coming!

These girls were more anxious than those guests, and they pointed at Liu Jian from a distance and shouted, saying that he was the person who could be in charge of Fengmanlou's house. Liu Jian walked a few steps quickly, and began to look at the five extras Zhang Qing found from a distance.

The leader was a middle-aged man with gray hair, dressed in a green cloth coat, and wearing finely made official boots on his feet. Although the fabric of this green coat is not bright and the color is not bright, it is free and powerful when worn on this person.

This majesty seems to be something that can only be possessed by staying in a high position for a long time, and there is a bookish atmosphere in the majesty, and the square scarf on his head also shows his identity as a literati.

This person must have been a handsome man when he was young, and he didn't know where Zhang Qing found it, so he just found someone to pretend to be a rich businessman and take Butterfly Dance, why bother.

Behind this man stood a charming woman, wiping her tears with a handkerchief from time to time, supported by a handsome man in his early twenties. This is a family of three, and the remaining two are guards standing with knives.

Liu Jian couldn't help but be stunned, this shouldn't be Zhang Qing's search for acting, right? Is there really someone who wants to redeem himself? Let's see......

"This little brother is the head of Feng Manlou?" The handsome boy hugged his fist at Liu Jian, and he couldn't wait to get straight to the point.

And the woman searched about the girls who had just arrived with some anxiety, and her eyes stopped in one place, and she could not take any more of them.

"This son is invited," Liu Jian returned the salute to the handsome son, and owed the middle-aged man, and then said, "There is no place to entertain guests here, Jing Ming, Jing Cha, go and tidy up your room, let the guests go in and sit." ”

"Yes!" the two little girls replied softly, turned around and ran to the big house with their skirts, these were the two little girls who were in the same room as Liu Jianzeng.

Liu Jian gestured to a few people, but his waist did not bend down. "The hospitality is not good, and there are many seas. Redemption is not a trivial matter, so you can find a place to sit with me, and we will talk about it slowly. Please!"

"Please!" The middle-aged man didn't answer, but followed behind Liu Jian with his hands in his hands, and the answer was the handsome son who was holding the lady on the side.

Liu Jian led the way, and these five people followed behind him, and the girls around them moved when they heard the wind, hugging these people who were obviously looking for relatives. There is no shortage of whispers, but most of them are talking about who will have such good luck.

The lady stared at one of the maidens, with some hesitation and sorrow in her brow, and she might not have moved if she had not been supported by the handsome son.

Liu Jian kept these in his heart, understanding that he was probably mistaken, and this was not something that could be performed.

The middle-aged man has a calm bearing but a hint of urgency between his eyebrows, the middle-aged woman is affectionate and poignant but a little excited, and the handsome son is also looking for it in the crowd from time to time, and there is an indissoluble apology between his eyebrows.

If they are really acting, then these three people must be big names at the actor level, how can Zhang Qing find them for a while......

"Brother Wen!

I was walking here, and before I could take a few steps, I heard a few shouts from the side. Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a blue-shirted scholar running over, but it was the sound of Mr. Langmei, a famous man in Yuecheng.

What is he doing here? Is he here to redeem himself?

"Brother step!" the middle-aged man dressed in green clothes greeted him with a smile, and the surrounding girls hurriedly gave way.

The two of them were overjoyed and anxious, and when Liu Jian thought that the next would be a hug full of affection, he stopped when he saw that the two were three meters apart and looked at each other.

"Brother Wen has been wronged for six years, and now he will get snow! The younger brother will hold a banquet, and Brother Wen will not get drunk and will not return!" Bu Chao laughed cheerfully, but his words were quite emotional.

And the middle-aged scholar surnamed Wen also sighed, and he was surprised by the sound of the tide, and he didn't dare to shout, and reached out to help him up.

"Thank you Brother Bu for running around and doing your best for Wen in the past eight years, this kindness was recorded in Wen's heart. Wen Qin: What are you doing standing, you can't come here to see you!"

The handsome boy was already standing aside, and when he heard the sound, he lifted the hem of his long coat and knelt straight down at the sound of the tide. "Nephew Wenqin salutes you, thank you Uncle Bu for saving my father. ”

"I can't help it! I can't help it! This great gift from the virtuous nephew can't be done!"

After helping this side, Bu Chaosheng hurriedly ran to the side and helped the handsome boy up. "Your father was upright and unyielding, and he was a model of the literati of the day. Today, it is said that the grievances are snowed, but the world's scholars petition the saint, and Bu is just doing some things!"

Liu Jian stood aside and listened, and couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man in the green shirt again, but he didn't expect that this person was still a big official. It seems that it is a bloody incident that often occurs in the temple, offending a powerful person or angering Long Yan, this is just eight years, and he was only released from prison today......

Listening to the sound of the tide over there, he and Wen said a few more nonsense words that were not nutritious, and the woman also went up to greet Mr. Rongmei. The women in the same generation naturally don't need to kneel, but they owe themselves, but they give in and the tide is a burst of praise for 'Wen'.

"Brother Bu, I invite you to come over today, just to be a witness for my family of four. ”

The middle-aged man sighed, his face slightly gloomy, and his eyebrows were full of guilt. He is upright and unyielding, but he has affected his family in vain, although he cares about the affairs of his family and country, he is also a husband and father.

And the handsome boy continued to say after his father's words: "Eight years ago, my father was wronged, and the court said that he would be beheaded all over the house, and my mother was anxious, so she gave me and my sister away in order to escape this catastrophe. But the world is unfortunate, and no one in the family is willing to accept it. ”

"At that time, my sister was just five years old, and when she was going north, she passed by here, but she had been waiting for a long time to arrest us. Mother was anxious and could only put her young sister in Fengmanlou, and our mother and son were imprisoned in the mansion of the capital for eight years and could not be found. ”

The son's voice was a little choked when he said this, his eyes were bloodshot, and he reached out to wipe his tears with his long sleeves. "My sister was only four years old and eight months old at the time, and I don't know how much suffering she will suffer in this green building fireworks land, and I, as my brother, really have no shame to see her......"

"My poor daughter!"

The woman suddenly couldn't stop crying, and the two girls on the side kindly supported her, but they were moved by the heart-wrenching cry, and they couldn't help themselves for a while.

Liu Jian stood aside and sighed, there are many helpless things in the world, but fortunately, this family has come to a hard time. "Madame and son-in-law don't have to be too sad, I treat my sisters well and won't let them suffer at all. ”

The surrounding girls responded one after another, this one said that Feng Manlou ate the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the other said that the little girl was still perfect.

And Liu Jian remembered this concern, and said to the family of three who were slightly emotionally stable: "If it was four years old eight years ago, then it is thirteen years old today, and it is still raised in the pavilion according to the rules." But if you let this young lady suffer the slightest grievance, then you can't let you take her now. ”

"You little brother," that Wen Gongzi's face was anxious, and he pointed at Liu Jian and reprimanded, "My own sister! How could I let her be wronged again, you don't have to make things difficult today! Otherwise, you will be good-looking!"

"Hey, Wenxian's nephew is not in a hurry, Brother Chun is out of kindness, not on purpose. Bu Chaosheng persuaded him, but introduced to the middle-aged man: "This is the steward of Fengmanlou, and he is also a talented man in this city, named Xiaochunzi, and the way of poetry and literature is willing to bow down." ”

"Ao?" The middle-aged man looked Liu Jian up and down for a while, but he was not in the mood to appreciate the poet who gave way to the tide and bowed to the wind. sighed slightly, and bowed to Liu Jian, but Liu Jian also accepted it calmly.

"Thank you very much for taking care of my daughter here. ”

Wen Gongzi also saluted Liu Jian, "Brother Chun, don't blame, I have a lot of gaffes." ”

"Your Excellency is polite, Childe doesn't have to mind. Liu Jian returned the salute, and the family gave him a good impression, and then said: "Seeing that you are not in the mood to drink tea, then start looking for someone at this time." I don't know what kind of evidence you have, or if you can recognize the young lady of this family, please step forward. ”

looked around, but saw that there was no movement from more than a dozen little girls around. Liu Jian was about to call all the little girls, but he heard the lady pointing to one place and shouting:

"I recognize! I recognize!"

The girls stepped out of the way, and Madame's finger finally landed on the face of a little girl with a sad face and tears in her eyes.

Liu Jian's heart trembled, it was a butterfly dance......
