The red and yellow melon husks rolled around on the ground until they reached Liu Nong's feet.

Lift the clogs and look at it at a glance.

"Huh!"

Walnut!

Liu Nong pinched the husk and held it in front of his eyes. It is indeed a walnut, although it is very small, but the lines on the surface and the kernel inside indicate its identity. At this time, this thing was a rarity, and it was brought back to the Central Plains by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions. Although it has gone through hundreds of years, it is still limited to the occasional in the north, and it is only an ornamental plant of a few top gate valves, and ordinary people have never even seen it.

He held the walnut in his hand and tilted his head. Yan drunk crouched on the railing of the arrow tower, poking her head out, and her two cheeks moved and were still chewing. She chewed and said, "Do you want to eat?" Call Sister ......"

Liu Nong was interrupted by her and was stunned, unable to tell whether he was funny or angry. Broken Lake didn't like Yan drunk, frowned and was about to speak, and cleverly shouted: "Yan drunk!" ”

Yan Zui saw Qiaosi, her eyes smiled, and she waved at her: "Qiaosi, come, come up and play." ”

Liu Nong turned around and looked at Qiao Si suspiciously, I don't know when she was so drunk with Yan, Qiao Si was a little scared and lowered her head. Liu's face flushed, and he squirmed: "They are all about the same age, of course, of course, they have to move around each other." As she spoke, she nodded at Yanzui, looking very happy. Can they not move around each other, if they don't move around, how can she know that Yang Xiaoniang is only fourteen years old.

Liu Nong really had no choice but to sigh secretly, regardless of the fact that Yan was making a grimace at him, he stepped forward to help Liu, and said with a smile: "Mother, let's go in, after a day's journey, you should be tired!" ”

"Oh!"

Liu looked at his son, and was reluctantly helped by him to walk inside.

Liu Zhi led the front, introducing Zhuangzi as he walked. The front has four entrances and three doors, and forty-two rooms, which can be used for storage and shade households; There is a row of arrow towers on the door, which can be closed to prevent thieves, and the subordinates and shaded households all enter and exit through the side door. The atrium has three entrances, and there is a bluestone avenue leading directly to the main hall, and the hall is two feet high and not layered; There are a total of 28 rooms, including a study, a piano room, and a guest room. The backyard has five entrances, there are pavilions, rockeries, small gardens, and 32 rooms, which is the main home.

There are a total of 12 rooms in the front, middle and back, and one hundred and two rooms. Between entering and entering, there is a pontoon bridge at the separation of the second floor, if you really encounter a thief, you only need to close the front front door and the side door, and the bow and arrow are drawn by the bend, ten times and not invaded. Since the Three Kingdoms, Jiangdong has been the world of heroes, heroes and thieves. It is based on the Jiangdong scholars to adapt measures to local conditions, and Zhuangzi has two functions: gathering families and preventing thieves.

Liu Nong looked at it while walking, because he had not lived for a long time, the courtyard was forested, especially when he walked through the entry and fall, there were black holes on both sides of the house, which was crawling with cobwebs. Liu was timid, and grabbed him tightly with both hands, if she hadn't followed a group of subordinates, she would have hugged him and trembled with fright.

Liu Nong smiled and comforted: "Mother, in the future, there will be more and more people." In his heart, he secretly said: Although this Zhuangzi is a little dilapidated, if it is placed elsewhere, it can be sold for at least 300,000 yuan. If you are in Jianye, you can't buy it with millions of dollars!

Entering the backyard, the tight layout is changed, wide and wide, and you can see the green mountains behind you at a glance. The setting sun poured in, infusing it with a layer of gold. The pavilion and garden are clean, and the two-story wooden building on three sides behind it is also new.

Liu Ji led them to the second floor in the middle and said in a low voice: "Mastermother, Xiao Langjun." There are 12 rooms in the middle building, all of which have been renovated and can be used for relaxation. ”

Pushing the door in, the room was covered with new reed mats, all kinds of furniture, screens, incense burners, curtains, and even some women's necessities, and the bed was also covered with new quilts.

Walking to the side room, there is a room that is obviously slightly larger, three inside and outside, and there are maids' companions, bronze mirrors, and rouge outside; Inside there is a desk, a piano table, and a bedroom.

Liu Nong looked at the few agarwood that rose on the low case and was silent, but Liu's face was smiling jubilantly, and he asked Liu Zhi outside the house happily: "You bought these these?" How can 100,000 dollars be enough! ”

Liu Ji knew the master's mother's intentions, and replied loudly outside: "Back to the master's mother, the money is really not enough, thanks to Yang Xiaoniang, these necessary household goods are all sent by Yang Xiaoniang to purchase." Even the money to buy Zhuangzi, Yang Xiaoniang also made a little ......"

"Oh......"

Liu Shi dragged out his voice, a pair of good-looking willow eyebrows were lightly raised, looking at Liu Nong Yingying and smiling, and said in his mouth: "Tiger head, Yang Xiaoniang and we are really fated......"

Ingenuity also helped: "Yes, even I have two boxes of rouge!" ”

Liu Nong smiled bitterly, helped her mother to her house to rest, and saw that she still wanted to speak, so she whispered: "Mother, the child knows what his mother means, so he went to see Yang Xiaoniang." ”

Liu stroked his face and said softly: "Tiger head, don't keep a straight face, we owe a lot to Little Lady Yang." Yang Xiaoniang, a weak girl, came to Jiangdong from the north, and it was not easy. Of course, we must help those who can, and we must not be ungrateful......"

Weak girl?

Liu Nong was speechless, just now, his sensitive intuition moved again, and he noticed that on the west floor, there was a faint flash of green robes. Who is Yang Xiaoniang, he doesn't dare to think about it. But now it seems that it is really as my mother said, there is fate, and I can't avoid it.

When he looked up, he found that Liu was looking at him with a worried face, his beautiful eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he was deeply worried. He could only smile and say: "Don't worry, the child will take care of it, you can rest first!" ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the inner room, and when he reached the porch outside the door, he rubbed his face, straightened the green crown on his head, and brushed the hem of his robe. When everything is still good, step into the wooden corridor, do not need to go downstairs, and go directly to the corner to the west building.

Broken Lake was about to follow, but Liu called her in the house with a soft call.

West Building!

The mirror on the corridor of the west building is like water, Liu Nong's eyes do not squint, the wind sleeves wave quickly, and the clogs clogs collapse. Someone came to meet him, it was the night breeze and the drunkenness.

Yan drunk crossed her waist and pointed at him, wanting to speak. Ye Fu coughed lightly, secretly pulled her, bowed to Liu Nong, and said lightly: "I've seen Xiao Langjun, my little lady knows that Xiao Langjun is back, please let Xiao Langjun come over." ”

Well?

Whose home is this? How can there be a feeling of anti-customer-oriented.

Liu Nong secretly took a breath, followed behind them, and walked towards the corridor. The sound of the piano sounded, very clear and leisurely, and also very diffuse, like a plain hand, gently brushing people's thoughts. His sleeves swung slowly, and his clogs stepped low. Before I knew it, I had already arrived at the door.

There are two maids at the door, one is called Ge Fei and the other is called Hongxiao.

Ye Fu looked into the house and whispered, "Little lady, Liu Xiaolangjun is here." ”

"Buzz ......"

The piano stopped, and the distinctive voice came out of the room: "Please let him in!" ”

After a few breaths, Liu Nong took off his clogs, stepped on the bowl-sized roses on the reed mat, and went straight. As soon as he approached the Hundred Flowers Screen, he saw a man in a green robe slowly getting up.

There is a sword on the left shoulder, a bunch of white begonias.

After he got up, he paused again, then turned around and walked lazily towards Liu Nong. As he passed by, he whispered nonchalantly, "I'm outside." ”

A very simple sentence, but it made Liu Nong feel creepy in an instant, and felt a chill in his neck. I couldn't help but look up and meet him with a slanted glance.

Glare!

Liu Nong squinted, only in this way would he not look timid, but he chuckled, withdrew his eyes, and shook out of the house.

"Xiao Langjun, please take a seat."

The voice floated in.

Liu Nong closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, walked to the little lady Yang and knelt down, his eyes were fixed on the Yanta orchid incense burner on the case, and he said, "Liu Nong, I've seen the little lady Yang." ”

This time, Yang Xiaoniang did not hide behind the screen, but sat opposite Liu Nong, with a pair of hands as white as jade, withdrawn from the strings and slowly folded on her waist. The face is still covered with a silk scarf, and the snow-white skirt is spread.

That hand is so beautiful!

When she withdrew her hand, there was a ray of sunset afterglow, which penetrated through the window, and the sun was shining on it, and the fingers were round and white, and at the end of the fingers, there were four shallow sockets, which could freeze anyone's eyes.

She slowly returned the salute and said slowly: "Xiao Langjun, why don't you ask, don't you feel strange?" ”

Strange, of course strange!

Liu Nonben lowered his eyes, heard this, raised his head, and then immediately stunned. What kind of eyes are these? Except for black and white, there is no variegation. In the middle of the darkness, there seem to be two whirlpools, pulling you in, and once you get in, you can't pull it out. secretly pinched his leg and got out.

His body paused, and he leaned back excitedly.

She was silent, as if she had become accustomed to it. just picked up the teapot on the table, poured half a bowl shallowly, served it himself, slightly uncovered the corner of the silk scarf, and sipped it lightly.

Grunt.

Liu Nong swallowed a mouthful of saliva uncontrollably, she heard it, raised her eyebrows slightly, and put the tea bowl on the shelf. Liu Nong was embarrassed, he just felt a little thirsty.

After a while, Liu Nong said: "Little lady Yang has a great kindness to Liu Nong, so she bent over and came, and the cold house was shining. It's just that the shelter is simple, Liu Nong is still young, and the etiquette is also inadequate, and I hope that the little lady is not strange. ”

Yang Xiaoniang said lightly: "It's okay, it's good, it's like your own home!" ”

Liu Nong paused, he really wanted to get the teapot so that he could smooth the breath in his chest, but he felt that it was inappropriate. After a long time, his heart was ruthless, and he whispered: "Well, it's okay." It's just, I just don't know, Little Lady Yang, how long do you want to live? ”

The voice grew lower and lower, and at last it was so low that he couldn't even hear it clearly. There is no way, he can face the difficulties of celebrities and scholars without fear, but he is afraid of this little lady Yang in the West Building.

After finishing speaking, he was stunned, and scolded in his heart: What is there to be afraid of, the more afraid you are, the more you are afraid, no, you can't be afraid of her.

I couldn't help but let out a dry throat.

"Uh-huh!"

Suddenly, the quiet room was filled with the sound of that dry throat, and he blushed. Outside the house, the low laughter of the maidservants was heard. In a blink of an eye, I found that the little lady Yang on the opposite side was also smiling, and I could see the silk scarf at the corner of her mouth, slightly crooked.

Liu Nong said hurriedly: "I, I ......"

I didn't come out anymore, it was messy, it was getting messy, and I was completely left behind.

Yang Xiaoniang did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, and when he calmed down, she poured him a cup of tea and lightly piled it up. Liu Nong subconsciously took it and drank it indiscriminately, feeling much smoother in his heart.

Yang Xiaoniang said softly: "I'm afraid that I will live for a long time, but Xiao Langjun is relieved, the use of the West Building has its own West Building, and the West Building will prepare by itself." Xiao Langjun has recently collected a lot of displaced people, and it is now autumn, and there is still nearly half a year to harvest next year. I don't know what Xiao Langjun is going to do? ”

Alas, the details make it clear, how to fight this battle? returned 20,000 yuan to Yang Xiaoniang, and he still had nearly 180,000 yuan; In addition, by the sea, you can catch some fish, and it is certainly enough to feed these forty or so people. However, if you want to build gardens and open up wasteland, and if you want to do something else, I am afraid that you will be in a tight position. The displaced people cannot afford not to accept it, and they will have to rely on them in the future. Sake brewing and other things also cost money.

Money, it's still not enough.

No wonder in Taidian, Liu Ji has those suggestions that need money, it seems that he has long planned to borrow the power of Yang Xiaoniang. Maybe, it's still the idea of this little lady Yang.

Well, the enemy doesn't move, I don't move.

Liu Nong was silent, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

After waiting for a while, Yang Xiaoniang said: "If there is a lack of property, I am willing to help, but there are conditions, I will live for a long time." The people in the west building, attached to the shade of the east building, are autonomous internally. Now that the situation is chaotic, there is no need to bother Xiao Langjun to become a citizen. When the registration is checked, I will drive a boat into the sea in the West Building, and then return after verification. As for the words of the people, I would like to worship Mrs. as my mother-in-law, if there is still a bad pool, I have my own conceit in the West Building, and I don't care about Xiaolangjun. ”

Speaking of this, she paused, looked directly at Liu Nong, and waited for him to ask.

Liu Nong's eyebrows jumped sharply, the coolness on his neck became more and more infiltrating, and someone was playing a sword outside the door! This is a bright white blade, I have long known that Yang Xiaoniang has a problem, how can there be a reason that the girl of the scholar clan is good at dancing, how can there be the reason that the girl of the scholar clan with a group of swordsmen, how can there be such a weak woman!

And listening to her words, they can't register yet, they are the Shu people in the north, as long as they can issue the registration book of the north, they are willing to wait, they can also register. Even the shade has to be registered, but she would rather drive the boat to avoid verification, what is she afraid of?

"Ding!"

The sound of the sword was loud again.

Liu Nong's forehead was oozing with fine sweat, and he secretly told himself not to mess up or be shocked, and said in a deep voice: "Please also ask the little lady to explain your identity!" ”

……

After half a burnt incense, Liu Nong stepped out of the west building with one foot and one foot heavy, standing at the corner, as if he could still see the bunch of white begonias. Yang Xiaoniang said that her name is Yang Shaoliu, her home is in Luoyang, because she came to the south in a hurry, her registration book was lost, and there was no one else who could testify; He is even more reluctant to wander around, so he can only cling to the shadow; And I don't want to go to citizenship because I am afraid of trouble. The green-robed white begonia is called Li Yue, and he is her family guard. With such guards, she brought a total of eighteen people. also hinted to Liu Nong that their orphans and widows were the Xinshi clan, and there were many and mixed people, so how could they succeed without a reliable tribe.

It's a threat! Eighteen, where are they? Liu Nong looked around, and there seemed to be a shadowy green robe flashing in the shadows, and he was about to bow and snake shadows, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

Is her word credible?

Liu Nong naturally didn't believe it, but what else could he do. Report to the officer? Before I went to report, I was taken by Bai Haitang! Remain? Leaving behind this unknown danger is unsettling.

Alas!

With a long sigh, open one eye, close one eye. There was a smell of blood in Bai Haitang's eyes, and the eighteen swordsmen, the cooking Laifu and those few hunters were relaxed.

"Sigh what? My little lady is willing to live with you, it is your blessing! Yan drunk appeared behind him at some point, silently.

Liu Nong was so frightened that he stepped back, leaning against the pillar, and his fists were protected against his chest.

Yan drunk and disdainfully skimmed him, stretched out her little finger, poked at his face, and said with a smile: "Yo ho, just you, I can make you look good with just such a finger!" ”

"Drunk!"

When the night breeze came, he pulled Yan drunk and said softly: "Xiao Langjun, don't be afraid." The little lady said, you are very obedient. Oh yes. The little lady asked me to tell you that she wants to accept you as a disciple. ”

"Disciple!"

Liu Nong was blinded, his mouth was wide open, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The sun was setting, and the sky was dark, and the two maids landed on their toes and went away side by side. The manor in front of him also seemed to begin to sleep, like a huge sleeping lion.

The lights swayed in the middle building, followed by the lights, one by one, Liu Zhi and Laifu walked one after another, Liu Zhi said in a low voice: "Xiao Langjun, look, this is Lang Jun's manor!" ”

Liu Nong stared at the lights and said, "In the future, don't hide it from me!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked to the middle building, Liu Zhi knelt on the ground with a plop, his shoulders trembled, Laifu stood aside at a loss, and called: "Xiao Langjun......"

Liu Nong paused, ruthlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Half an hour later, get up!" ”

Walking around the corner, the broken lake took the plum blossom snow lamp and stepped out of the side room, swinging the corridor white.
