Liu Qiqiao was full, patted his bulging belly, and said with a smile: "I'm full, by the way, Lan Xiang, why are you here to deliver the food today, where are the people here?"
Lan Xiang packed up the dishes and replied, "I will also come to deliver food in the future!"
"Oh? Why?" Liu Qiqiao said in surprise: "So what did the people here do?"
Lan Xiang sighed, "I can't tell you if you walk away, and then loosen up!"
"Go? Where to go? Why go?" Liu Qiqiao said.
Lan Xiang looked at the master, and it turned out that this silly auntie was kept in the dark in this mansion: "Just now in the front yard, I distributed money to everyone, and they all sent it away. Those who have a family go home, those who have no family. , Took the silver, and found a way out!"
Liu Qiqiao stayed for a while and said, "Are you all gone?"
Lan Xiang shook his head: "Most of the time I left, the old lady gave a lot of money, enough to live a normal life. I don't have a home. If I have a home, I will go back. The Shen family is generous, and those who were sold The minions who came here have also got their deeds and are now free... Auntie, do you really want to go home? This is an opportunity!"
Liu Qiqiao shook her head. When she got married, the family was happy. If she really went back, the stepmother's face would have been longer than a donkey. Besides, if she went back, she would be scolded to death. .
The daughter who was married, and the water that went out, the stepmother always said like this, there is no reason for the daughter who was married to go home again, even if the two sisters had such a hard life, they did not go back!
What's more, my current situation is not terrible. Even though I want to serve a patient, Liu Qiqiao is already satisfied if he has a house to live in and has enough food to eat.
Seeing that she was determined, Lan Xiang smiled and said, "Oh, I'm following you too, don't leave, the old lady said, if you don't leave, you can follow them to the farm in the country. Although the Shen family sells all the shops in the city Yes, but there is still a lot of fertile land in the countryside. It is okay to feed those of us. The Second Young Master also said that as long as you are willing to endure hardships and work, you will not be hungry!"
"Second Young Master?" Liu Qiqiao was stunned. He hadn't seen him come over for more than a day. He didn't speak much when he was here, but he always felt more at ease with him. That Shen Yuyuan was bored. It was very, when he was okay, he sat under the porch outside the window, and he could look at the sky for a long time.
"Yes, Second Young Master, this is the first time I have heard the Second Young Master say so much!" Lan Xiang said, with a light of excitement in his eyes.
Not only did he talk a lot, but the second young master Shen Yuyuan stood in front of the front hall at the time, and his sonorous words made many people who were hesitant to make up their minds. Following the Shen family, not leaving, so did Lan Xiang At that time, made up his mind.
The second young master Shen Yuyuan is completely different from the eldest young master Shen Yunong.
Everyone loves Shen Yunong, he is suave, gentle and affectionate.
But this afternoon, these people of the Shen family really realized the second young master Shen Yuyuan. He stood there without any lie. His firm eyes and steady posture made him less than twenty years old. He seems to be very sophisticated and convincing. It is estimated that today, the second young master Shen Yuyuan has taken root in everyone's heart.
Lan Xiang still had a sense of blood rising after hearing what he said.
"My Shen family will not be defeated. Even now, I am trapped for a while, but I believe that as long as we have two hands, with the power of these two hands, we will definitely stand up again!" Shen Yuyuan said: "Zhuangzi There are a lot of things here, and tenant farmers usually do it. If you come with me, you will be here. You will be scheduled to work and the housekeeper will arrange the work for you. Maybe it will be more tiring than here, but you will have enough food and clothing. Warm, there is no problem. At the end of the year, there will be wages available, and now, the deed has been returned to you, if it is not good, you can leave at any time!" Shen Yuyuan stood under the porch of the front hall and said loudly.
When the first person said: "I will not go, I will follow the master, where the master is going, where do I go!" Soon, there will be a second, a third, many people, and start Shout, follow the master, to the country, to the farm.
So, the housekeeper began to count. Those who don’t go to the countryside can take the money and leave after eating a meal, while those who go to the countryside will be registered, and they will leave soon and move to the country farm together.
Liu Qiqiao said in surprise: "The servants have all gone to the countryside, what should we do here? What should we do?" After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Shen Yunong's direction in the lower bedroom.
"Of course we are all gone! Maybe we have to wait a few days. The butler will take a strong person and go to the country first. The second young master will make arrangements. Then, we will go over again. If you haven't woken up, I'm afraid that I won't be able to endure the hard work of the car, and I'm afraid that there will be a shortage of medicinal materials in the countryside. Therefore, we have to wait for the young master to wake up and get better before we go back!" Lan Xiang said. "As for this mansion, the second young master said, just keep some old family members and just look at the door. It is also to reduce expenses! The masters have all gone to the countryside. Naturally, there is no need to keep too many people here!"
"So..." Liu Qiqiao murmured, "It's a pity that such a big mansion is!"
Lan Xiang looked at Liu Qiqiao with a disappointed look, and knew that her plan to grow vegetables in her small yard would be stranded as she went to the countryside, knowing that she would be disappointed.
Lan Xiang wanted to say that in the countryside, the Shen family has a lot of land. I'm afraid you can't plant it, but she is not good at saying anything now. No one can say what the future will look like. Only now, take one step and say one step. .
Liu Qiqiao had eaten, and the night was already very deep. Lan Xiang was pulled here to help. This evening, the little girl who squeezed out with Liu Qiqiao and fell asleep soon.
The next day, as expected, the subordinates in this mansion began to leave one after another. Some of them got rid of their low status, and some returned home.
Another part, went to the countryside with the housekeeper.
Lan Xiang also went to the front to help. The Shen family has a solid background. Even if it was raided once, there were still three large carriages installed in each house. The housekeeper took care of it. Following Shen Yuyuan, together Went to the countryside on the outskirts of Beijing.
Liu Qiqiao fed Shen Yunong with medicine, and then fed again after a while.
There was some grass in her heart. Although it was far apart, there were still horses neighing from time to time, and the sound of wheels running over the slate ground. Lan Xiang only returned for lunch at noon, but soon went to the front again. The yard that I no longer lives in needs to be cleaned and sealed up. Now, there are not many people living in it, so Lan Xiang also has to help.
Liu Qiqiao watched Lan Xiang go away happily. She returned to the house. Lan Xiang just responded to her request and brought her the money and the fabric for the shoes. She first measured Shen Yunong. The size of the foot, then, cut out the shoe look.
She did this kind of work and was familiar with the road. She moved quickly and quickly. She finished the upper and sole. She had been sitting on the ground next to the bed, making shoes, and said: "Unfortunately, there is no good silk thread, otherwise, you can embroider. Put some patterns on, it looks better, but men's shoes are still the strongest and the best! Don't worry, the shoes I make are always the strongest!"
She murmured, the upper was black, covered with blue-gray edges, and the upper was a bit thick. She was pulling hard, but heard a very loud and grunting sound from behind the house.
The sound was so loud, Liu Qiqiao was taken aback, and the line almost broke.
"Did you hear that?" Although Liu Qiqiao couldn't get a response these days, she always thought that Shen Yunong could hear her. Now she also asked about Shen Yunong, who was in a coma, and Shen Yunong who was in a coma, of course. Not answering her, she put down the work in her hand, and said nervously, "Isn't it a thief?" Although Shen's mansion has fallen, but Lan Xiang just came back and said that she had pulled away the three major carriages. The thing, the thief who is not good enough to open his eyes, is thinking about it here.
Liu Qiqiao was born with courage. She stood up and looked around. Only on the outside table, in a large porcelain painting jar full of scrolls, she picked the thickest and longest scroll. In the palm of your hand.
In Shen Yunong's room, the front is the main hall, and there is a secret door at the back, which is usually closed. Liu Qiqiao walked over slowly and leaned against the back door. After listening to the movement, there was nothing unusual. She was slow. Slowly opened the door.
Behind, there was a bamboo forest. It was quiet in the afternoon and there was no wind at all. The bamboo leaves remained motionless. Strangely, the big movement just now came from behind.
Liu Qiqiao squeezed the scroll a little tighter in his hand, and he stepped gently across the threshold and flashed out.
There is a large bamboo forest, and the lake in the garden has been dug here. On the other side of the lake, there is a courtyard wall.
It's impossible to come from the other side of the lake, but behind the bamboo forest, there is a courtyard wall that is as high as two people, and no one can climb over there.
Liu Qiqiao was wondering, but when she heard a small movement, she was startled, because Jing, although the sound was not loud, was enough to make her puff up her hair.
Following the movement, she walked a few steps towards the bamboo forest.
Then she gave a soft cry and stopped.
There are really people.
There are a few strange-shaped boulders under the bamboo forest. On one side of the boulder, there is a man lying motionless.
The man was tall and burly, dressed in a short coat. He was not the family member in this house. Liu Qiqiao hesitated for a long time before he walked over slowly.
"Who are you?" Liu Qiqiao asked carefully, the scroll in her hand was bold, but she was still audacious. As long as the man was strange, she was ready to escape.
The man didn't move or speak. Liu Qiqiao got closer. She held the scroll shaft and stabbed the man forward.
There is no response. Liu Qiqiao took the courage and used a little bit more energy, and she pushed the man to his side.
