A broken wooden board supported by stones next to the thatched hut is the dining table of the Lianxin family, and the family of four squatted on the ground around a pot of stewed dried fish, eating with relish.

Seeing Chang Yu coming, the family quickly stood up with a respectful face: "Lord Wang......"

Chang Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down, and then walked to the oil lamp at the door of the grass hut and brightened the firelight: "I'm not the prince, I know by listening to the accent that I'm not local, I'm from the capital."

Yes! Lianxin's family was taken aback, and suddenly realized, no wonder this group of people didn't speak with a Shandong accent, but since they came from Beijing and became friends with King De, they were definitely a big official.

After all, the capital is the place where the Son of Heaven stays, and the officials there are very big.

"Little Brother Chang, you are from the capital, oh no, Young Master Chang......" Lian Xin looked startled, Chang Yu felt more and more pleasing in his eyes, so he took a short body and sat on the threshold of the grass hut and said to Lian Xin's father: "Uncle, aunt, I want to tell you about Lianxin."

The faces of the two of them changed immediately, and they all knew that their girls were good-looking, and the matchmakers came every three or five times, but they were rejected because of some reasons.

This made the two very conflicted.

It stands to reason that who doesn't want their daughter to marry a rich and powerful person, but usually this kind of powerful person is just playing, and as soon as the freshness passes, he will enter the cold palace and pity his daughter for a lifetime.

"Young Master Chang, you, what do you want to say, is this girl Lianxin disrespectful?"

Chang Yu shook his head embarrassedly, he didn't know what to say, he just felt that he would regret leaving this immortal here, but what excuse would he use to take it away?

I don't want to take it out to see the world, learn some trades, get a job or something.

In this era, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and when she reaches the age, marrying a husband and teaching children is a lifetime, and she does not need to learn any craft, and there are very few crafts and jobs suitable for women in this year, unless there is a special industry.

But you can't say that you have fallen in love with your girl, if she is not a eunuch, maybe he really said so, not that he looks down on his eunuch status, but the world's eyes look down on the eunuch identity, only the poorest woman who really can't survive will marry a eunuch, and her family can't hold her head up for the rest of her life.

"Uncle, what's your last name?" Under the watchful eye of the Lianxin family, Chang Yu held back for a long time and didn't come up with any good words, so he had to ask casually.

Lianxin's father was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Oh, my surname is Xia, and my name is Xia Chengyu."

, Chang Yu was stunned in an instant, Xia Lianxin on the shore of Daming Lake, so dangerous, so dangerous, I almost collided with Qianlong.

"Uh, Uncle Xia, let's put it this way, I have a fate with your family's lotus heart, and I am happy to see it" Chang Yu gritted his teeth and said stiffly: "I have the heart to take him out to see the world, and there is a shortage of a calling girl by his side, if you agree...... Five taels of silver per month".

Ah, the two of them were stunned again, I thought that the young master of the powerful family saw that Lianxin wanted to accept a concubine or something, how could he find a girl, yes, the so-called calling a girl is the obscure meaning of not being able to serve a concubine on the stage, after all, how can a powerful and wealthy family let a civilian woman enter the main hall.

The two hesitated in their hearts, but Lianxin's mind was simple and simple, and when she heard that she could earn five taels of silver a month, her eyes immediately lit up: "Daddy, I am willing to go."

"Don't talk" Lian Xinniang dragged her and whispered, her eyes secretly looked at her husband next to her, and then looked at the little eunuch under the oil lamp, a talent, with a righteous face.

Perhaps realizing that the two of them would misunderstand something, Chang Yu hurriedly said: "Uncle, aunt, don't get me wrong, Lianxin only needs to do some work of serving tea and pouring water, nothing else, and if she wants to study or even practice martial arts, someone will teach her, and when she should get married in two years, I can also say a good family for her, you see that there are a lot of young talents around me" said and raised his hand to point to Chen Suole and others who were still pouring wine by the lake: "Everyone has a reputation."

It turned out that it was not for himself but for his subordinates, the two of them were slightly disappointed and relieved, to be honest, ordinary people who don't have the mind to climb the dragon and fly to the branch to become a phoenix, but the two of them are too honest and responsible, if they suddenly drop a big gift package, they really don't have the courage to continue, but their fairy-like daughter with a young talent is okay.

"Dare to ask Young Master Chang, ...... They ......" Father Lianxin couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chang Yu said in a low voice: "The emperor is pro-army."

The family of four immediately grew their mouths, no wonder the martial arts are so powerful, no wonder even the people in the Dewang Mansion are busy.

is not only the emperor's personal soldier, but also has a meritorious name, so it may be a general or something.

The two of them had already made a decision in their hearts, and then nodded and responded: "Ruolian wishes to go with you, so we will let him go."

Lianxin nodded without hesitation, fifteen or sixteen years old is still a little girl in the next generation, she already understands everything in this era, she can observe words and look at people, the little eunuch and his party are extraordinary, and the most important thing is that there is no kind of arrogant style of the powerful, they are polite and polite when they speak, and they can see that their conduct is very good.

Since Lianxin agreed, the two of them did not object, so they asked some more questions, such as when to leave, where to find her daughter, and so on.

Chang Yu told him that he would go south for a period of time, if Lianxin wanted to go, he could go together, if he didn't want to, he could wait for him to come back and return to Beijing together, as for arriving in the capital, he only needed to mention his name at any yamen in the imperial city, and someone would receive him.

Good guy, the family of four began to think crankily again, and the emperor used the emperor's personal army to escort him, and the yamen of the imperial city knew him, isn't it...... Characters like the prince, phew, phew, bah, the prince's surname is Zhu, his surname is Chang, hey, the name Chang Yu is so familiar, it seems that I have heard someone say it.

Perhaps because she longed for the outside world too much, Lianxin decided to go south with Chang Yu, and the only condition was whether she could advance the monthly silver to her parents.

Chang Yu was very generous, and gave fifty taels at once!

The two of them were excited to be grateful to Dade, but there was also a sense of desolation in their hearts, if their daughter was entrusted to someone else, this would be the money for selling their daughter.

Here Chang Yu and Lianxin's family chatted, Wu Zhong by the lake was already drunk and wanton and noisy, very noisy, which made Chang Yu displeased, and was about to reprimand him for being quieter, when suddenly Hu Xin raised his hand and pointed to the door of the courtyard: "There is a monk there."

Outside the fence wall, Monk Haihong had a solemn face on his cane, Chang Yu beckoned to him, he shook his head slightly and did not come in, but walked to the lake and sat down cross-legged silently.

"Great monk, come and drink a bowl" Wu Zhong saw him shouting, and then screamed, but Chang Yu hit him with a stone and stared at him angrily.

Wu Zhong knew that he was speechless, hehe smiled, some jokes can be made for Li Muxian, he is thick-skinned, but he can't be opened for Haihong, he is a monk.

"How come you have Taoist priests and monks under you?" Lianxin asked curiously.

Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "There are not only Taoist monks but also nuns."

"Ah, still, still, and nuns?" Lianxin was dumbfounded.

"Sister, look, there is really a bald nun" Lianzi shouted again, this time even Chang Yu was a little confused, Su Jing didn't know when he stood outside the courtyard door with a sword on his back, squinted at Wu Zhongren, and suddenly turned sideways to look at the lake, and at the same time Monk Haihong turned his head to look at her.

The two looked at each other and stared at each other motionless, windless, the bell on the Zen staff in the hand of Monk Haihong rang slightly, and the pure hand slowly put on the hilt of the sword, and the originally noisy Wu Zhongren was silent at this time, and looked at the two of them with their eyes.

"Have you ever eaten it?"

Chang Yu raised his hand and gently pressed down the hilt of Su Jing's sword, Su Jing was startled, only to find that she didn't know when the little eunuch actually arrived by her side, and all her attention was on the monk by the lake just now.

"Then why is the monk so murderous?" Su Jing exhaled slightly, Monk Haihong had met him once, but there was no conflict with him, but the murderous aura released from the monk just now was completely aimed at her......

Chang Yu smiled: "Maybe you just saw someone, an accidental murderous leak that aroused the monk's vigilance, you are a killer known as the Night Demon, he is a Buddhist monk, and he takes demon suppression as his mission...... There was a misunderstanding."
