[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

When they arrived at the tea stall, Liu Xianglian chose a table in the corner to sit down, and asked Luo Chun to sit with her back facing the road, so that not many people could see her face.Although Luochun no longer has any scruples about showing her face when she goes out like this, Liu Xianglian still has a good heart.Luo Chun couldn't help smiling at him, Liu Xianglian who was sitting opposite her saw Luo Chun's smile, her hands trembled, the spout of the teapot that was pouring water into the teacup tilted, and the tea poured out.

After sitting down, Sister-in-Law Zheng, who felt that she had finally come alive, couldn't help shouting, "Second Master Liu!" Liu Xianglian came to her senses, quickly put down the teapot in her hand, and called Xiao Er to bring a rag , wipe off the water stains on the table.

When the three of them were drinking tea and taking a break, another group of people came outside, filling up the small tea stall at once.A young man approached their table, saw Liu Xianglian, and said in surprise, "Second brother Liu, unexpectedly met you here? What a coincidence."

Hearing this, Luo Chun looked over, and saw a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old in front of him, with dark skin, a pair of round eyes, and looked naive when he smiled, and his snow-white teeth stood out against the black skin. appear white.

Liu Xianglian saw the person coming, and said in surprise: "Huo Qing?" She looked behind him, and fell on a burly middle-aged man, and said hello loudly: "Boss Huo, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet him." Meet you here."

Escort Huo, who was sitting on his seat and drinking tea, looked over and saw that it was Liu Xianglian, so he hurriedly got up and strode over. I will meet Liu Erye here." Unceremoniously sitting down on the empty seat at Liu Xianglian's table, Da Dao immediately sat down, and his gaze fell on Luochun and Mrs. Zheng who were at the same table with Liu Xianglian. Asking questions, he said, "Are these two with you?"

Liu Xianglian hurriedly introduced, and briefly explained the reason why the three of them came together: "Boss Huo, this is the younger sister of a friend of mine, surnamed Jia. Oh... this is her family's servant. Their master and servant The two went to the city to look for my brother, and because of safety concerns, I helped escort them all the way."

"Surname Jia?" Huo Qing listened to Liu Xianglian's words, glanced at Luochun, and said in surprise: "The last time I met Mr. Feng and Mr. Chen drinking together, they mentioned Erye Liu at the banquet and said Liu Erye's red luan star moves, and the red thread of marriage leads, so does that mean..."

Hearing his son's words, Huo Escort secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good. He couldn't say these words here in front of these people, so he quickly stretched out his hand to give him a hand, let him sit next to him, and interrupted him: "Where is there so much nonsense here, why don't you hurry up and sit down and drink tea." After being interrupted by his father, Huo Qing said "...is this girl?" Before he could say it, he was pulled away by his father, As soon as he interrupted, looking at Liu Xianglian's expression, he also knew that he had been reckless just now, and he was secretly glad that he didn't say this, so he quickly sat down to drink tea honestly, for fear of saying the wrong thing, and never said anything again. Say something.

Liu Xianglian knew that Huo Qing had a straightforward personality, the kind of person whose mouth was quicker than his brain, so what he said just now was careless, not to mention Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun who talked nonsense after drinking a little wine. Besides, In the end, Escort Huo stopped him in time, and he didn't say the following words. Therefore, even if everyone present knew what he was going to say, they still pretended that they didn't say it in the end. Confused.

Thinking of "pretending to be confused", Liu Xianglian couldn't help taking a peek at Luochun, seeing Luochun sitting there drinking tea, she suddenly acted like she didn't hear anything.Facing Luochun's tranquility, he was both disappointed and relieved.What was disappointing was that he didn't know whether Luo Chun's attitude really didn't understand, or he pretended not to understand.Perhaps in his heart, he was vaguely hoping that Luochun would know what he was thinking; the reason why he was relieved was because Luochun's calmness prevented him from being in front of Huo Qing's unrestrained speech. It became embarrassing for Luochun. After all, in this era, marriage is a matter of "the words of the matchmaker and the orders of the parents." Like now, in front of Luochun, a lady, there is something missing.

Liu Xianglian tidied up her emotions, and while giving Huo the lead, she changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Huo, what are you going to do?" Huo took the teacup Liu Xianglian handed over, He replied: "A few days ago, our Escort took over a business and escorted a batch of medicinal materials to the northwest. Because the Escort had connected several businesses before, most of the manpower was sent out, so the manpower in the Escort was not enough. So I was sent out by the boss to find some helpers to come back."

Glancing at the people in other seats, Liu Xianglian nodded and said, "No wonder, I said that the people who came with Huo Escort are better, I don't know them, I thought they were the new recruits of your Escort these days Woolen cloth."

After Liu Xianglian told Mrs. Xing about all the tricks the officials had done to the prisoners and their families on the road of exile, Mrs. Xing once asked him what to do about how the Xue family got on the road.At that time, Liu Xianglian said that in a situation like this, it would be best for Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to go on the road with a well-known escort agency. In this way, not only the safety of their mother and daughter can be guaranteed, but also the skill of opening the escort agency is second, the most important thing. It is to be able to eat both black and white, so Xue Pan's safety can also be guaranteed, and he can reach the place of exile safely.

When Luochun heard Biaotou Huo say "go to the northwest", his heart moved, and he wanted to say something to Liu Xianglian, but his eyes touched Biaotou Huo and Huo Qing, and he swallowed the words that came to his lips, and lightly whispered under the table. He kicked him lightly, and then when Liu Xianglian looked over and asked, he lightly signaled to Huo Biao's father and son.Liu Xianglian didn't understand at first, when Luochun saw this, he mouthed the word "Xue", he suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked, "Boss Huo, when are you going to leave?"

"It's about four or five days away." Huo Escort said: "The customer still has some medicinal materials that were shipped from the south, and it will arrive in these two days. When the medicinal materials arrive, unload the goods on the dock and start again." It will take some time to load the car, so it may take a few days before we can leave. Why, what's the matter with Liu Erye?"

Liu Xianglian hurriedly said: "Oh, it's like this. A relative of a friend of mine, the male in the family made some mistakes and was exiled to the northwest. Because he was the only male in the family, after he was sentenced, His mother wanted to take her daughter with her. It’s just that it’s inconvenient for the two girls to go out, and they are unfamiliar with their lives. It’s so easy to go to the Northwest, so I thought, how can the time be right? , I want their mother and daughter to go on the road with your Escort Bureau."

"No problem." Huo Biaotou heard that it was such a trivial matter, and immediately agreed: "After Liu Erye enters the city, you can see when your friend's relatives are on the road. If you can make it in time, just let us know." They often encountered this kind of thing, but it was just a matter of bringing two people, which not only helped Liu Xianglian, but also made a little more money by the way, so why not do it.

"Okay, then it's settled." Liu Xianglian made an appointment with Escort Huo, then settled the tea money with Xiaoer, and set off with Luochun and Sister-in-law Zheng.On the way, after Liu Xianglian narrated all kinds of evil deeds of the officials to the exiled prisoners and their families, Luochun felt that she had fallen into "persecution paranoia". The head and the others said this, but they were still a little worried because they were a little uneasy. They wanted to confirm further and asked: "Second brother Liu, is the bodyguard agency where the head of bodyguard Huo works reliable? They won't do anything like guarding against themselves, right?"

Liu Xianglian understood Luochun's worries, smiled at her, and said with certainty: "Don't worry, the bodyguard agency Huo Boss works for is also a century-old brand, and it has been passed down for three generations. This kind of bodyguard has been passed down from generation to generation. The time-honored brand relies on good reputation besides the contacts left by the ancestors. The people who use it are all clean, and when they go in to do things, they all have Baoshan. If the people who go in misbehave, This Baoshan also wants to eat melons. Besides, the head of the bodyguard Huo brought his sons into the bodyguard bureau, obviously thinking that the next generation will continue to eat this bowl of rice. In this case, of course he will not smash himself and Son's rice bowl."

With Liu Xianglian's guarantee, Luochun felt relieved.The three entered the city and came to Aunt Xue's house.Mrs. Zheng stood at the door and knocked hard several times. She waited for a long time, but there was no movement.Just when they thought that there might be no one in the yard, the door creaked open from the inside, and Xue Baochai's face was exposed through the crack of the door.

When Xue Baochai saw Mrs. Zheng standing at the door, she was startled and didn't recognize her. Then she saw a man and a woman standing behind her. The man was unknown, but the woman looked very familiar.After recognizing Luo Chunlai, Xue Baochai wondered in her heart, didn't she move to the countryside with Dafang, how did she find this place, and she was still with two strangers?Xue Baochai, who had experienced many accidents, became wary and suspicious, and didn't intend to invite them into the house just because she recognized Luochun.

Seeing that Xue Baochai was only looking at people through the crack of the door and did not open the door, Luochun stepped forward and said, "Sister Bao, I am Luochun. I am here this time to find Second Brother Lian. This is my sister-in-law Zheng. He came to our house after something happened, so you don’t know him; this is Brother Bao and Second Brother Lian’s friend, Second Brother Liu, because it’s not safe for Sister-in-law Zheng and I to go to the city, so my mother asked Second Brother Liu Escorted us here. Didn't the second brother Lian be sent by his aunt to help his aunt with some housework and Brother Xue's affairs a few days ago? I don't know how he is doing? Where is he now? Is he outside or at home? ?”

After hearing Luochun's words, Xue Baochai looked Liu Xianglian and Sister-in-law Zheng up and down again, then opened the door, leaned over, and said, "Second brother Lian is out helping mother with some errands and hasn't come back yet. Sixth sister and sister-in-law It's inconvenient for Mr. Liu to stand outside, so let's come in and talk."

Luo Chun and Liu Xianglian entered the yard, followed by Mrs. Zheng and Xue Baochai, and walked into the house together.Luo Chun didn't see anyone in the yard, and thought to himself, wondering if these servants of the Xue family were dismissed or sold off.When Xue Baochai brought her into the living room, Luo Chun was stunned. The whole room was like a snow cave. Apart from a table and a few stools, there was also a set of rough porcelain tea sets. You can still see the traces of the hanging paintings and the like that once hung.The only furniture in the house, the table and the bench, are second-hand second-hand goods bought from a small vendor. Not to mention the wood, the workmanship is rough, and it creaks when you sit on it, which is worrying. Is there a danger of collapsing.

"You guys sit down." Xue Baochai didn't seem to see the surprised look on Luochun's face, as if the family had always looked like this, and said, "Sixth sister, you sit down first, and I'll make tea for you. Mother is not very well. , so I’m lying in the room and haven’t gotten up yet, so I can’t come out to accompany the guests, and I’ve been neglected, please forgive me, Sixth Sister.”

Luochun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm a guest, I came here so recklessly, sister Bao, you don't blame me, as long as you say this again, it will hurt me." Xue Baochai smiled and didn't say anything. He walked out looking at the large coarse porcelain teapot on the table.

While Xue Baochai was taking the teapot to make tea outside, Luochun looked around, looking at the empty house and the yard where there was no sound, and couldn't help thinking, this is really a sale of all the family assets, and the whole family moved. look away.
