In November, in the northwest, it is already winter, and the north wind is mixed with a little frost, whistling wantonly in the wasteland and in the mountains, slapping the pedestrians on the road and hiding their faces and shrinking their necks, not daring to meet its edge.

"Young Master Helan, this time the villain is fortunate to have a life, and he can return to Sanyuan safely, thanks to Young Master Helan's righteous action, here, the villain should give Young Master Helan another cup!" On the official road back to Chang'an in the northwest, a widened and lengthened four-horse carriage is galloping rapidly, compared with the cold and cold weather outside, in the carriage, the red furnace wine, warm and welcoming, but it is Gongsun Helan and Liu Chongzhou and their party drinking and having fun.

"Okay, I've said it back and forth several times, I knew that you were such a hypocritical person, and Young Master Ben shouldn't have begged you to come back, wouldn't it be convenient to let you die in the hands of the old horseman in Houjunji?" Reaching out to press the soft couch of Liu Chongzhou, who was stubborn and wanted to get up to toast himself, Gongsun Helan pursed his lips lightly, and he really couldn't stand Liu Chongzhou's trembling temper.

"The grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, if it weren't for the righteous act of Young Master Helan, the villain would have died at the hands of Old Master Hou as Young Master Helan said, uh......" Liu Chongzhou held the cup and waited to say more, and suddenly saw Gongsun Helan staring at two bull's eyes looking at him, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were all exuding nameless fire, his neck shrank, and he suddenly stopped his voice, as a native of Sanyuan, Liu Chongzhou also knew a lot about the temper of Gongsun Helan, the little young master, and he had no doubt, If you don't like this master like this, you won't be able to run away with a violent beating.

"The so-called great grace is not grateful, since Young Master Helan doesn't like it, the villain won't mention it in the future, but this glass of wine, please Young Master Helan must drink it!" Although his body was still inconvenient, Liu Chongzhou still stood up in pain, raised his glass with both hands and handed it to Gongsun Helan, his eyes were full of gratitude.

"Look at the sour smell on your body, have you ever read poetry books before?" No longer bothering with him, Gongsun Helan took the cup and drank it all, then poured himself a cup with a pot, picked up the rabbit meat he had hunted before on the table with chopsticks, squinted at Liu Chongzhou, and asked.

"Don't hide it from Young Master Helan, although the family was poor when he was young, he also studied in a private school in the countryside for a few years, he was literate, but he had no great talent, and he was not on the list in several township exams. Speaking of this, Liu Chongzhou's face welled up with a bitter color: "Fortunately, later, the heavens were blessed, and he followed a young master's door, and the young master and the dust-free housekeeper valued him, so he had this position of steward." ”

"So, you still have a high hall in your house?" Gongsun Helan has never experienced hard days, and he has no way to understand the bitterness in Liu Chongzhou's words, but this does not affect his judgment of Liu Chongzhou's character.

"Young Master Helan Hongfu, the old mother in the family is still healthy, and the little sister is also ten years old, and she can also help with some housework in her daily life, that is, the villain is not there in this trip, and she can serve her mother on the side." Speaking of his family, Liu Chongzhou's face couldn't help but feel a little warm, he was born and died this time, except for repaying the kindness of the owner, the rest are not all for them.

Liu Chongzhou knew that no matter whether his trip to Gaochang was successful or not, whether he himself was dead or alive, his mother and little sister at home could already be worry-free in this life.

"You're a person, although sometimes a little sour, but overall, it's pretty good." Raising his hand and patting Liu Chongzhou's shoulder, Gongsun Helan raised his glass again and drank lightly, for this kind of filial and bloody person, no matter what his identity is, what mistakes he had before, Gongsun Helan has never looked down on him.

Moreover, this Liu Chongzhou, although his words are abnormal and unbearable, he is also rare to do things neatly, and he is also a good talent.

"What are your plans for going back this time?" Picking up the vegetables again, Gongsun Helan asked very casually.

"Returning to Young Master Helan," he was not carried away by Gongsun Helan's few words of praise, Liu Chongzhou's face was still calm, and when he heard Gongsun Helan's question, he bowed his hand and replied softly: "Since Chongzhou's family was taken in by the owner when they were depressed and had no food, the villain has no plans in his heart. ”

"Oh?" Gongsun Helan's eyebrows raised, and when he looked at Liu Chongzhou lying on the soft couch, he felt more and more that this kid was pleasing to the eye, and he didn't mention his sour rot and talent, but this loyalty was already very rare, thinking about his Gongsun Mansion, which had been in business for nearly a hundred years, and what could be found, like Liu Chongzhou, who was really loyal and willing to fight for his life for the owner, that is, there were only a few, to be honest, seeing the servants in the eldest brother's mansion so loyal to the master, while being happy for the eldest brother, Gongsun Helan's heart couldn't help but give birth to a little jealousy and envy.

"You, yes." It is very rare, Gongsun Helan praised Liu Chongzhou again, and then poured himself a drink, and said: "However, being able to make a living in my eldest brother's mansion can be regarded as your luck." ”

As he spoke, Gongsun Helan put down the wine glass in his hand, glanced up at Liu Chongzhou, and said, "Do you know that if it weren't for the face of my eldest brother this time, if it weren't for you being the steward of Liufu, no one would be willing to take such a big risk to redeem you from King Gaochang." ”

"More than a dozen urgent letters, hundreds of thousands of dollars, it can be said that in order to save your life, the entire northwest is almost shaking." Although Liu Chongzhou has long been loyal to Liufu, Gongsun Helan doesn't care about adding some more condiments to him, and then increasing and increasing the image of the eldest brother who loves Ruzi: "Do you know what the eldest brother said in the letter to me?" ”

After a pause, seeing Liu Chongzhou looking at him with a concentrated expression, Gongsun Helan poured wine from the pot, and said softly in his mouth: "At all costs, you must save people alive." In Brother Duo's heart, whether it is money or business, the lives of his subordinates are also the most important. ”

"The proprietor is benevolent! In this life, I can follow the door of the owner, and I am very fortunate to be able to carry out the boat! With words in his mouth, Liu Chongzhou struggled to get up from the soft couch, knelt down in the direction of Chang'an, his face was red, his eyes were red, and his tears flowed.

"Okay, what a big man is crying like this, what does it look like!" Although he said this in his mouth, Gongsun Helan did not stop Liu Chongzhou's movements, unhurriedly picked up the wine glass and took a drink, and then looked down at Liu Chongzhou, who was still kneeling in the carriage, and said lightly: "If you really have a heart, you don't need to cry like this, as long as you work hard and loyally in the house in the future, don't let down my eldest brother's sincerity to you today." ”

"Otherwise," Speaking of this, the momentum on Gongsun Helan suddenly mentioned, and the look in his eyes became a little cold: "Otherwise, even if my eldest brother is kind and benevolent, he will not let it go easily!" ”

Enwei and Shi, these are some of the means that Gongsun Helan learned in the military camp, although he also knows that he is far inferior to his eldest brother in terms of managing the people's hearts, but he is still unwilling to let go of the chance that this can increase the loyalty of the people of Liufu.

"Young Master Helan is serious." Obviously, he was not frightened by Gongsun Helan's cruel words, Liu Chongzhou knelt down, got up from the bottom of the compartment lightly, and then lay back on the soft couch, looked at Gongsun Helan quite calmly, and said: "Even if Young Master Helan doesn't say it, Chongzhou also knows how to do it in the future, if Chongzhou really does something sorry for the owner and Liufu in the future, he will not bother Young Master Helan with his noble hand, and Chongzhou will cut himself off in front of Liufu." ”

did not swear loyalty like ordinary people, Liu Chongzhou's tone was very flat, and his expression had always been extremely calm, just sitting there casually, calmly looking at Gongsun Helan, without a trace of retreat and cowardice in his eyes.

"Okay, I remember your words." Gongsun Helan sat up straight rarely, and solemnly glanced at Liu Chongzhou, without the slightest doubt about the truth of what Liu Chongzhou had just said.

It was at this time that Gongsun Helan felt that the weak scholar in front of him did have something different.

"At this time of year in the northwest, it should be full of snow, right?" Sitting in the house, sipping hot tea, Liu Yiyi looked up at the window, the weather outside the house was dark, cold and abnormal, it was not a good day, but Liu Yiyi seemed to be in a good mood.

"The year before last, the younger brother went with his mother once, and it was also this season," I don't know why the eldest brother suddenly talked about the weather in the northwest, Ren Youduan took a sip of hot tea, and then said: "One word, cold, the kind that can freeze into ice when you spit and foam." ”

Saying that, as if he had returned to the cold days in the northwest, Ren You couldn't help but shrink his neck, showing that he was not lightly frozen in the northwest that time.

"It's cold, bacteria are not easy to grow, you can skip the wound infection, but it is incidental, and the wound is not easy to heal. Withdrawing his gaze from the window, he slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand, and Liu Yiyi said softly.

"Huh?" Ren You was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came over, and said with a chuckle: "It turns out that the eldest brother remembered to go to Gaochang's Liu Steward, hehe, don't worry, eldest brother, didn't you say that the person has been rescued?" As long as you are alive, what is it to endure some pain, with the god doctor of the eldest brother, no matter how big the injury is, it is not easy to catch? ”

"Hehe, brother Xian, you are talking in vain again," smiled at Ren You, Liu Yiyi shook his head lightly, and said: "As the saying goes, medicine does not kill diseases, and Buddha is destined to be a person, although my brother knows a little about medicine, but he does not dare to speak in vain to cure all diseases, and everything he does is to do his best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”

"Okay, let's talk about your intentions today," After speaking, without waiting for Ren You to reply, Liu Yiyi looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother Xian is not at home to accompany his brother and sister, how can he have time to go to his brother's mansion?" ”

"Huh? Hehe, the eldest brother laughed, he hadn't come to the house to visit his brother and sister-in-law for so long, but the younger brother was a little thoughtful. The little face was slightly red by Liu Yiyi's amusement, and Ren You was busy drinking tea to cover up.

"Okay, in front of my brother, don't come back to these empty words, just say what you have to say." Chong Renyou waved his hand lightly, and Liu Yiyi straightened up to face him.

"Since the eldest brother said this, the younger brother will do it directly." Saying that, Ren You stood up directly from the chair, walked to Liu Yiyi in three or two steps, looked at Liu Yiyi with affection, and Zheng Sheng said: "Although this is a bit cheesy, but the order given by the old lady, and the younger brother really don't know how to express it, so, eldest brother, you still have to bear it." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Yiyi's reaction, Ren You's knees bent, and he fell to the ground so straight, solemnly landed on his forehead, and gave Liu Yiyi a solid knock.

"Although Da En doesn't say thank you, if my little brother doesn't do some things, my mother won't beat me, and I can suffocate myself to death." Kneeling on the ground, pushing away Liu Yiyi to help his hands, Ren You said in a rare and solemn voice: "The revenge of killing the father is not shared with the sky, in the same way, the eldest brother avenged the revenge of killing the father for the younger brother, and it is also higher than the sky, and they are both brothers, saying Xie Xianwai, but as a son of man, this little brother must indeed knock, and please let the eldest brother be able to fulfill it." ”

"Brother Xian, ...... are you" Seeing Ren You say this, Liu Yiyi was a little inconvenient to help him, so he could only stand up sideways and watch Ren You finish his thank-you gift.

"Today is the burial period of Concubine Yin," after the thank-you ceremony, Ren Youti stood up lightly, and continued: "Although the matter of my father back then was not directly related to her, but afterwards, this vicious woman had sent someone to my mansion to threaten her, and she could be regarded as an enemy of my mansion. Now that their mother and son are crazy and dead, their father's revenge can be regarded as revenge. ”

A prince, a princess, can do this, Ren Gu and Ren You, their mother and son, are already content, after all, if there is no Liu Yiyi to plot from it, relying only on the strength of their Ren family, if they want to take revenge, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

"Brother Xian said this, but he was a little confused for his brother." Seeing Ren You get up, Liu Yiyi sat down again, picked up the tea on the table, and began to pretend to be confused with Ren You leisurely: "Although Brother Wei did have some ties with His Royal Highness King Qi before, the past has passed after all, and Brother Wei is not a stingy person, plus his identity and status are there, His Royal Highness King Qi is already thankful if he doesn't come to find His Royal Highness King Qi is not a brother, how can he dare to look for trouble with His Royal Highness King Qi again?" Brother Xian just laughed. ”

"Yes, yes, the eldest brother is right, how can the matter of King Qi and the Yin Concubine have anything to do with the eldest brother? It was true that the younger brother was a little confused before. "Some things are clear in my heart, and it is indeed a little inappropriate to say them rashly, so I smiled at Liu Yiyi, and Ren You also accompanied him to pretend to be confused.
