"Come, come, come. Let's drink.”，Liu Zi refilled the jar and shook it.""Hey! A jar of wine really couldn't be f * cking drunk. Third brother would take turns to rest tomorrow? I must help my brother get two jars from the Drunken Immortal Residence. I heard that the Great Butler Zhou of the Godly Doctor Valley likes this Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Tsk tsk…it's indeed delicious!”
At noon, the shift was over.
After Xiao Liuzi strolled around, he said to his partner who was on duty with him tonight,""Brother Li, please take care of yourself. I'll go and relieve myself…"
The person called Brother Li was obviously unwilling to waste his time. He yawned and waved at him."Go further away! Don't f * cking stink to death!"
Xiao Liuzi shrunk his shoulders and held his stomach as he laughed and ran to the banana bushes at the side. When he reached a place where no one could see him, he changed his timid appearance from before. He quickly jumped up the rockery at the side, bent down to look around, and then jumped onto a wall at the side. Inside the wall, a middle-aged man in his forties was brewing a pot of tea under the porch.
Xiao Liuzi leaned closer,"Uncle Zhou-"
The middle-aged man looked up and took out another upside-down cup from the tea tray."You brat, you ran here? You miss my tea again?"
Xiao Liuzi chuckled." Uncle Zhou, don't be stingy. I know that the old madam has given you a lot of snow mountains and clouds every year. You should reward me a little, and I'll massage your back!"”
The middle-aged man laughed and scolded,"Brat! If you want to drink it, come over. Can I let you take this tea out?”
"I know, I know…Uncle Zhou still dotes on me!”，Xiao Liuzi picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp. He then picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup."Uncle Zhou, I gave some advice to that idiot Chen Yun today!”
"Slow down, slow down! He's treating my tea like sour plum soup!”，The middle-aged man picked up the teacup and sniffed it. The dense tea mist made him narrow his eyes."What do you mean?"
" It's a little active…" Little Six imitated the middle-aged man and sniffed it lightly."Uncle Zhou, Chen Yun is a fool. Why should we help him?”
The middle-aged man raised his head.”
"Who is it?"
" In his early years, he was the Tiger General of the Northwest Army. He was a tiger general. He died in the battlefield with Marshal Xian Yang. Neither of his two sons were successful, so his family was in dire straits. Although this grandson is a little dull, he still has some real skills. His skills are not suitable for a place like the internal guards. He should be on the battlefield, like his grandfather…" The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the laurel tree at the courtyard entrance."Second Young Master couldn't bear to see his pearl covered in dust, so he wanted to help him.”
Little Six nodded in a daze. If there's a chance, I'll hit that fool again!"
The middle-aged man retracted his gaze and nodded slightly."Yes, it's fine. People still have to rely on themselves to awaken.”
" Got it, Uncle Zhou. I'm leaving now," Xiao Liuzi said as he finished the tea in his cup and stood up.
"Do you have enough silver?" The middle-aged man took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and threw it to him."Be careful when you go out. Safety first!”
Xiao Liuzi took the purse without thanking him. He just said," Got it," and jumped out of the wall. Every time he heard Uncle Zhou say " safety first " to him, he felt his nose ache. He did not dare to say anything more, afraid that Uncle Zhou would hear his nasal voice and embarrass him.
How could Uncle Zhou not know about this? He would always shake his head and scold him!
About four or five miles away from the gate, there was a house hidden among the flowers and trees. This was the real place where the people of Fragrant Valley lived.
The house was solemn. Behind a few upturned eaves, a row of osmanthus trees planted against the wall were struggling to spit out pale yellow stamens. The wind blew, and the petals danced, giving off a fragrant and charming fragrance.
In an elegant study, a woman with loose hair was sitting behind a large crimson case and flipping through a letter in her hand. She was Yang Ping's maternal grandmother, Ji Fangfei.
Old Madam Ji used her well-maintained hand to tap the table a few times before turning to the old man who was resting in the rocking chair."Old Xu, what do you think? Second Brother hasn't arrived yet?"
The man called Old Xu was Yang Ping's maternal grandfather, a famous doctor of his generation, Xu Benyu. He was respected by outsiders as Old Divine Doctor Xu.
Old Master Xu did not open his eyes. He stroked his beard and nodded gently." San Er has finally done something decent. This method is feasible. It's better to gather those people to live together than to live without a fixed place and become bandits. In the future, we can also accumulate some manpower for the children, but..."
"You're just worried that there might be someone with ulterior motives among these people, right? Or was it that someone with ill intentions found out and charged him with a groundless crime?”
" Mm." Old Miracle Doctor Xu nodded.
Old Madam Ji put down the letter and pressed her hands on the table. Her tone was filled with worry."In the past two years, famine has been rampant everywhere, and there have been constant riots in the northwest. It's not an exaggeration to say that the lives of the people are in dire straits, let alone them. Even without the Yang Family's sister-in-law's trust, we can't just leave it alone. I've already ordered the merchant ships to gather food in the south…As for those people, of course, we can't rashly lead them into the mountains. We have to arrange for someone to handle this matter…"
As he was speaking, a cold voice came from outside,"Why is Auntie Lan standing outside? Both parents are here?"
"Second Young Master is here. Quickly go in. Furen and Old Master are waiting!”
"Alright!" Before he could finish his sentence, the young master in white stepped into the room."Father, Mother, Third Brother sent a letter?”
"Let's see!" Old Madam Ji pushed the two pages on the table away.
Second Young Master Xu, Xu Changrui, was knowledgeable and aloof. He read the letter quickly and sat down on a chair nearby. After pondering for a moment, he said,"Third Bro's idea is feasible, I agree. These two years, the common people have been suffering from disasters, and they are even worse off. Even if we take care of them, it is just a drop in the bucket. It is naturally a good thing to be able to gather them and settle them down. The Black Cloud Mountain is dangerous and has few people. On the other hand, although these people are mostly disabled, they have been with the Yang family for many years and are reliable. They can more or less become the help of the two children…"
"Continue!" The two elders nodded.
" As for how to integrate them, it's not too difficult. There's no lack of people who are smart and loyal. We only need to arrange for two people to guard the periphery. The Black Cloud Mountain stretches for thousands of miles. It's not a problem for more hunters and woodsmen to come out…I'll arrange these things outside. Father, Mother, after these people enter the mountain, I plan to leave this matter to the servant girl. That servant girl has been smart since she was young, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to do it. The key is that the child has been hurt mentally and physically in these few years. From Master Cheng's letter, we can see that the child's temperament has changed and seems to be unstable…We have to keep her busy…"
"Second Brother is right. I thought so too. That's why I asked Old Jin to arrange for two more active people to go over…Little Fei is a few years younger and he's also a man. When he's outside, he can be brought out to gain some experience. He'll be able to turn things around…Ping Ping can't do it. She's at the most critical age. If she's not careful, she'll go astray…Every time I think about this, I can't sleep. My Little Treasure has been pampered by two families since he was young. How could he…" The old madam's tone became a little heavier as she spoke."Write a letter to Third Brother and ask him to send Yi 'er over first. Firstly, that child's health needs to be treated as soon as possible. Secondly, without the little girl holding her hand, she can let go a little. Write two more letters to teach her so that she doesn't have to be too restrained…Since that person wants to sell her good, we have to accept it.”
Second Young Master Xu nodded." Mother, you're right. Without the little girl occupying her hands, Old Meng will be able to urge her to pick up her homework when she goes over. When the families of the remaining soldiers go over and have something hanging over their heads, they will be able to tighten their grip…"
Old Miracle Doctor Xu also stood up from his rattan chair. He rubbed his brows and said in a deep voice,""Yes, send the little girl over first, then let the big girl get busy. Tell her that it's fine to be more unrestrained…However, the big girl not only inherited the Yang family's generosity but also inherited your sister's pride. I'm afraid that only someone who can make her admire him will be able to make that child fall in love. Let's wait and see. I'm afraid it won't be possible to just find someone with a lively personality to guide…"
The next day, in the same study room, Second Young Master Xu was holding a yellowed note that his elder brother had just sent from the capital: Yang Tao's daughter is still alive, Yinshan.
"Yang Shu is in Yin Mountain?" This news made Second Young Master Xu frown.""Mother, does that mean that he knows that sister's family was saved by us?”
Madam Ji clenched her fist and tapped her chin lightly. After pondering for a while, she said,"Back then, the two of you were able to save your sister, brother-in-law, and the two children by coincidence. After that, you carefully arranged everything. Besides, they have been hiding in the mountain village all these years. Only a few people in our family know about this, and they are all reliable…Your brother sent a letter saying that your aunt Yang sent someone to send Shu out. The emperor's people knew about it but did not stop it. He said that he saved your uncle Yang's bloodline…"
Second Young Master Xu twirled his thumb slowly and said after a while,"" If that person knows that we've saved her, he must also know that sister and brother-in-law have passed away. He didn't do anything and even told us that Yang Shu is still alive. That means…he has no ill intentions, but-"
"It's to make use of you!" The door of the study was pushed open and Eldest Madam Yu, who was dressed in a red dress, rushed in. The jade hairpin on her hair trembled violently because of the excitement of the owner." Mother, Second Brother, I told you that man is not a good person. He is full of twists and turns and always wants to tie everyone to his boat. When he uses them, he will say something nice. When they are useless, he will just throw them into the river to feed the fish. The key is that his brains are not as good as the fish's brains. He can't even protect the people who guard the country for him. If he dares to have any ideas about Xiao Fei and the others again, I will bring people to attack Shangjing. Even if I can't kill him, I will cut off his sons!”
Madam Ji tapped her fingers on the table." With your ability, you have the nerve to talk about killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own?"”
Second Young Master Xu covered his mouth with his fist and coughed lightly. Sometimes, he really felt that his father had left the capital and lived in seclusion here.
