The Concubine of Crossing

This is a very remote small courtyard. The bluestone paved ground is covered with moss except for the place where people walk in the middle. If you don't pay attention to where you step, you will slip and fall.

It is not uncommon for a servant to live in such a place that is not very popular at first glance. Luo Laibao never thought that this person used to live in such a courtyard.

In fact, Luo Laibao couldn't remember what that person looked like before, but only vaguely remembered that he was a very beautiful young man. Later, the young man grew up, and without that softness, he lost interest in that person.

Until the decline of the Luo family, he was also beaten into a disability, and everyone abandoned him, only that man stayed by his side without leaving any complaints.

That was the only warmth that Luo Laibao didn't want to look back on during those days.

"Master, if you want to see Qiao Jun, you can ask him to go there. The ground here is so slippery, what if you fall?" Xiaodouzi stood in front of Luo Laibao, nervously trying to help him, but was caught by Luo Laibao. Noble avoided it.

His mind is very confused now. From the familiar environment around him and the conversations with his family members, he doesn't seem to be in the underworld.

But how is that possible?The grief, despair, unwillingness and pain are still vivid in my mind, so why did it become a dream?

He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. No matter what the reason was, he just wanted to see that man.

It was only when he was really standing here that he felt a little nervous.The door of the courtyard was closed tightly, and a lot of vermilion paint had peeled off from the unmaintained door. Luo Laibao's hand that landed on the wooden door was trembling, and he was indescribably nervous.

Standing beside Luo Laibao, Xiaodouzi could clearly feel the difference of the young master today. Thinking of the nonsense the young master said in the morning, he was also very anxious, and wondered if the doctor invited by the young master had come.

Luo Laibao didn't care about Xiaodouzi's thoughts, although he was nervous, the eagerness to see that person finally prevailed.Gently, Luo Laibao pushed open the half-hidden door.

In front of the eyes is a lush green flower garden, in which not all kinds of precious flowers are planted, but green vegetables with gratifying growth.It can be seen that the owner of the flower garden is very concerned about this piece of green vegetables.

Looking at the small vegetable garden, Luo Laibao couldn't help but fell into deep thought.In the small courtyard where they lived at the beginning, there was such a piece of land surrounded by that person who always planted various vegetables in it, and picked some when they wanted to eat. s difference.

Seeing that Luo Laibao's eyes kept falling on the vegetable garden, Xiaodouzi didn't know what to think of, and rolled his eyes, revealing an angry expression, "This..."

He was just about to say that Qiao Jun didn't know how to be elegant, and he actually changed a good flower garden into a vegetable garden, but his young master gave him a stare. Xiaodouzi trembled from the look in his eyes, and immediately closed his mouth and dared not say anything more.

Luo Laibao had recovered from his memory, seeing this familiar vegetable garden, his heartbeat inexplicably increased a bit.He had a very strong premonition that he was about to meet the person he was thinking of.

Taking a few deep breaths, Luo Laibao rushed to follow his little bean and said, "You are right here, don't follow...don't make a sound!"

Xiaodouzi immediately shut his mouth tightly, stood still, and signaled that he was very obedient.But he quickly calculated in his mind, Qiao Jun's small courtyard is simple, there is no well or pond, he just stands here, and he can respond in time if there is anything.

Ever since the young master fell into the water and woke up yesterday, something was not quite right. The aunts he usually likes were kicked out of the room, and some behaviors were also very strange.

When I woke up today, I came to Qiao Jun's courtyard early in the morning.You know, since the young master was overwhelmed by Qiao Jun's height three years ago, but he hasn't stepped into Qiao Jun's yard for three years, and now he suddenly came to Qiao Jun's yard, could it be that the young master suddenly wants to change his taste?

Thinking of the height and physique of his young master and Qiao Jun, Luo Laibao's scalp went numb for no reason.Speaking of which, when Qiao Jun first entered the mansion, he was called Jiaojiaoqiao, so the young master chose Jiaojiao for him.Later, after discovering that Jiaojiao was not Jiaoniang but a young man, she changed Jiaojiao to Qiaoqiao, and only then did she get the name Qiaojun.

Sure enough, time is like a butcher's knife. In just a few years, Qiao Jun has changed his appearance.It's not that Qiao Jun doesn't look good now, it's just that the current appearance is too heroic, without the softness that any male concubine should have, and it's no wonder the young master didn't want to step into his room for several years.

While thinking about things, Xiaodouzi pricked up his ears to listen to the movement inside.The whole small courtyard is only that big, no matter what sounds are inside, there should be some movement here.

It's just that Xiaodouzi pricked up his ears and listened for a long time, but he didn't hear any sound. When he was thinking about it for so long and there was no sound that was too abnormal, his young master had already come out of the yard.

Xiaodouzi had never seen his young master's expression before, his black eyes were as bright as stars, it was a look of surprise when the most precious thing in life was found again.But before Xiaodouzi could think about it carefully, Luo Laibao had already taken a deep breath, and quickly calmed down his expression, the light in his eyes faded away little by little, turning into bottomless darkness.

Swept by that gaze, Xiaodouzi felt a chill run down his spine, and he swallowed the words he wanted to speak in an instant.

For some reason, he had a feeling that a storm was coming.

Luo Laibao's voice came faintly, "Let's go. Don't let anyone know that I've been here."

Xiaodouzi quickly answered, then quickly followed the young master and left with his head down.

Before Luo Laibao left, he took another look at the yard, his eyes flickering.At this moment, he was finally willing to believe that this was not a dream, it must be God who finally took pity on him and asked him to do it all over again.

His father has not been wrongly imprisoned, his mother is still alive, and his legs have not been broken... Those things that made him collapse and despair have not yet happened, and everything is still in time.

This time, he will definitely protect his family, and put him in the palm of his hand, love him and spoil him for the rest of his life.

But now, it's not a good time to see him. When he cleans up the mess, he will definitely be taken to his side in a good way, making him the happiest person in the world.

Li Xiao didn't know at all that when he was biting his pen and thinking about whether he should use the money to go out and do some business, his nominal husband had already sneaked over to take a look at him.

He is still thinking about what kind of small business he can do with his own capital.

He has lived in Luo's family for more than a year. It is impossible for a big man to be raised in the backyard for nothing all his life, and he has to climb over the wall to get in and out.

Now that he has money, he can do some business first, and when he has saved enough, he will go to the young master of the Luo family to redeem the contract of sale.When he thought about it, the young master of the Luo family had no interest in his body at all. His redemption would not only give him money, but also reduce the need to support an idler, so why not do it?

Of course, the Luo family is not short of such a small amount of money, and the consequences of his doing so may make Master Luo feel that he has been slapped in the face, so now that Li Xiao has money in his bag, he did not dare to act rashly.

He is looking for a suitable time to speak and not be rejected. Before that, it is also necessary to find a career for his future.

Speaking of which, the Luo family is the largest merchant in Pucheng, with a wide range of businesses covering basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation. Half of the shops in Pucheng are owned by their family. If Li Xiao wants to develop quietly, he naturally wants to avoid the Luo family's business.

The industry quickly flashed through my mind, many industries need a stable and cheap supply of goods most.Li Xiao doesn't know many people in this world, and it's a pity that he doesn't have any contacts in this area.

If you don't need a source of goods and are easy to make money, then there is only food.The ingredients can be bought in the vegetable market, or even sent directly to the shop by the seller. It is absolutely natural and pollution-free green food.

As a foodie in the 21st century, Li Xiao feels that although he is not a culinary genius, he has been exposed to more delicacies than people in this small town. It is not difficult to make some delicacies that are not available in other restaurants.

The problem is, in this case, he must spend a lot of time in the restaurant... Wait, he can hire workers, from the shopkeeper to the waiter, and even the chef, as long as he gives the chef some dishes, he can be the chef. A hands-off boss.

The idea is good, but in this way, the cost will be a bit high, and the money in hand is obviously not enough.

So, I have to think about it again.

The so-called good cars cannot be built behind closed doors, so Li Xiao simply went out to look around to see if there was any suitable shop.

The courtyard where Li Xiao lives is very remote. Not only are there few people in the courtyard, but also almost no one passes by outside the courtyard. Therefore, he has been in and out of this place for more than a year, and no one has noticed.

Familiar with the way, he climbed up to the top of the wall and saw that no one was passing by, so Li Xiao jumped down.As soon as he walked into the street, Li Xiao was about to blend into the crowd as usual, when he suddenly felt something was wrong, when he turned around, he saw a [-] or [-]-year-old boy in ragged clothes looking at him without blinking. , Seeing him turn around, he tilted his head and grinned at him, throwing a purse in his hand, looking like he deserved a beating.

Li Xiao suddenly felt a headache.

This kid was a beggar in Pucheng. He didn't know how to hide when he first sneaked out of Luo Mansion a year ago. The material of his clothes was not bad, and he was a stranger, so he was missed by this kid.

Facing a kid who was thinking about his own purse, Li Xiao was naturally rude and just cleaned him up.But seeing that the child was so skinny, he didn't make any effort, and let him go as soon as it hurt him.

As a result, he was missed by this brat, and he would hang around him from time to time. Although his nose was bruised and his face was swollen every time, he seemed to be exhausted with him. Come to brush up the sense of presence.

If that stubborn energy is used in the right way, it will definitely be the master of great things.

Seeing that he was still a child, Li Xiao tried to reason with him, telling him that stealing was wrong.

Every time he didn't make a sound, he would either turn around and run after he missed his hand, or be repaired by him with his head in his arms. This toss has been going on for more than a year, and he doesn't know where the stubbornness comes from.

Li Xiao looked at the bulging purse in his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "It's been a while since I've seen you, you've really learned a lot!"

Seeing him approaching, the child's eyes flickered and his lips were pursed tightly. It could be seen that he was very nervous, but when Li Xiao approached, he really held back and did not back away.

Li Xiao took the purse in his hand, turned it upside down, and unceremoniously kicked it into his sleeve, and leaned against the corner with his arms folded, "Tell me, what do you want to keep pestering me all this time?"
