The ancient life of a master craftsman

Liu Mingxi fiddled with the fan in his hand, "Are you sure that person is a servant of the Zhang family?"

"Young master, I can see clearly, that woman is the maidservant of Miss Zhang's family." The concierge is very sure, his eyes are very good, and he will never make a mistake.

"So... the eldest lady of Zhang's house asked people to inquire about the relationship between Linfeng and Liu's house... what is she trying to do?" The fan in Liu Mingxi's hand was turned back and forth, he was thinking casually.

But the concierge suddenly remembered something, "Eldest young master, I heard that the son-in-law of the Zhang family is from Huaimu Village, and because he was selected as a scholar, he was arrested by the eldest lady of the Zhang family."

"Huh?" Liu Mingxi became interested, "Is the son-in-law of Zhang's family surnamed Chen?"

"Yes."

Liu Mingxi remembered that this was not the only one who was selected as a scholar last year. It seemed that his name was Chen Yingcai.Unexpectedly, he and Linfeng are from the same village. It seems that this side of the water and soil does not include character.

"Liu Zhou, you are clever, go and find out what purpose Miss Zhang has." Liu Mingxi took out the money from his purse, "Take it, if you don't have enough, come to me again."

The concierge Liu Zhou saw that the young master gave ten taels of silver as soon as he made a move, he smiled, and took the money with both hands, "Enough! Enough! Young master, I'll go right away, I promise to check it out tomorrow!"

"Well, let's go." Liu Mingxi sent the concierge away, turned his head to see the Buddhist scriptures on his desk, and tapped the back of his head with a fan with a headache, "Buddhist scriptures, Buddhist scriptures, I don't believe in Buddhism, what kind of Buddhist scriptures are copied, who knows what Buddhist scriptures are? What is it about..."

He copied patiently for a while, then put down his pen, spread out on the chair like a salted fish, stared blankly at the beams of the house, and after a while, "Liu Chong! Liu Chong!"

"Master?" Liu Chong came in and saw that his young master was full of energy, as if he had been revived, instead of the dead fish just now. What good thing happened?

"Liu Chong, I'm going to Huaimu Village tomorrow morning, you go tell the stable." Liu Mingxi put away the Buddhist scriptures and left the study with a fan.

"Here, when is the young master going to leave?" Liu Chong wondered, if we set off tomorrow, then we can just go to the stable to lead the horse tomorrow, what are we going to say today?

"I don't want to ride a horse, but take a carriage. We have to leave Liu's mansion before uncle gets up." Liu Mingxi patted him on the shoulder. Leave it to me."

Liu Chong's face seemed to be a little twitched, and he wanted to persuade the young master. He could escape the second master's punishment, but he couldn't escape the elder master. When the elder master knew that he didn't listen to the second master's words, the punishment would have to be doubled, but seeing Liu Mingxi now With a happy face, he didn't dare to say anything, so he complied.

"Understood, young master." Liu Chong agreed, and withdrew with a full heart.

Liu Mingxi didn't know what was going on in his heart. He just wanted to avoid the boring thing of copying Buddhist scriptures, but he didn't dare to disobey his uncle's order not to let him continue to manage the business. He also remembered that his uncle wanted him to have more contact with Li Enbai Oh contact, why not just go to Li's house every day, so that he won't have time to copy Buddhist scriptures.

As for whether Li Enbai will not welcome him, I don't think so. Li Enbai has a good relationship with him, and he feels that Linfeng's husband has a good impression of him. The kind of good impression that is pleasing to the eye may also be because he is Linfeng's friend, so he is treated like this.

It's just that he didn't expect that he originally wanted to go to Li Enbai to avoid punishment, but he found another important business for the Liu family, and also learned about Yunli's past.

He knew about Yunli before going to bed at night.

The concierge Liu Zhou went to inquire immediately after taking the money. He deliberately changed his clothes into ordinary civilian clothes, bought a bunch of thick flour steamed buns and white porridge, and distributed them to the poor in the dilapidated ancestral hall not far outside the town. Little beggars.

Moving out of his identity as a servant of Liu's mansion, Liu Zhou quickly figured out the good deeds that Chen Xiucai did, and then went to the brothel according to the clues provided by the little beggars. It costs two silver, but the little one is much cheaper.

He pretended to be honest, and the clothes on his body were very cheap, and no one noticed him when he went in, so he quietly called a lively little brother.

Because he first paid [-] Wen for the housing fee, and then paid [-] Wen for the younger brother. Although the old bustard in the brothel despised him as a poor man, he arranged a remote and small room. This was the first time for Liu Zhou. Visiting a brothel once, there is still some novelty, but it's important to do business at this moment.

The little brother he called came over after a while, and he was dressed in ordinary clothes, not revealing much, which made Liu Zhou heave a sigh of relief, "Come here?"

"Does the guest want to drink first, or do you want to..." The little brother seemed to be an honest person, and he relaxed a lot. How can a low-level prostitute like them have the conditions to serve the guests in a separate room, every time there is such a Opportunity means that guests have special interests.

But seeing that this guest is young and has clear eyes, he should not be the kind of person who likes to be violent, so he can have a better life tonight.

"Come over and have a chat first." Liu Zhou beckoned his little brother to sit down, planning to order some dishes over and chat while eating.

After dinner, the little brother didn't see any guests touching him, so he thought that Liu Zhou would like to take the initiative, so he leaned up against Liu Zhou's arm and planned to feed him, but Liu Zhou hurriedly stopped him, explaining his purpose Come out, "Wait, little brother, I didn't come for that kind of thing, you sit down first."

"Guest..." The little brother was surprised.

"I just came to inquire about something, and I didn't want to do anything to you." Liu Zhou and his brother asked about Chen Yingcai.

The only scholar master in Xinglong Town, even if the young lady has never entertained such distinguished guests, he has naturally heard about it from the elders and sisters in the building, but it is just a show of speech, and seeing what the guests want to hear, he naturally He put on a show with all his strength, and explained Chen Yingcai's matter clearly.

Don't look down on the prostitutes in the brothel. Although they stay at home and serve the customers who come and go in this building every day, they are eloquent, have high emotional intelligence, and know a lot of news. Chen Yingcai thought it was a secret Everyone in the brothel knows it, but it's not easy to offend the scholar master, and no one spreads it to the outside world.

As a man, he dared to say anything when he was too drunk. Not only did Chen Yingcai occasionally come to the brothel by himself, but he often came with his classmates from the academy.The prostitutes in the brothel are probably the people who know the true colors of these so-called Xinglong students best in the world.

Hearing the little brother's description of Chen Yingcai's habit in bed, Liu Zhou felt disgusted in his heart. This kind of person can still be admitted as a scholar.God has no eyes.

He combined the news from the little brother with the information provided by the beggars, came to a judgment on the authenticity of it, and wanted to leave, but was held back by the little brother...

After an hour, Liu Zhou came out of the small remote room with a blushing face, found the old bustard, and reluctantly handed over two hundred Wen, and ran away without daring to say anything.

The old bustard took the money, and seemed to have forgotten that the little brother in the remote house had finished serving the guests and was ready to take the next one, and no one disturbed that room all night.

When Liu Zhou returned to the mansion, the first thing he did was to report what he knew to the young master. Seeing the shocked look of his young master, he added, "The little brother who was divorced is Mr. Li's husband. .”

"What?!" Liu Mingxi was really frightened this time. Being resigned by a scholar master, isn't this forcing people to die?In the end, that unlucky little brother was Yunli?

Suddenly knowing about such a scumbag, Liu Mingxi inevitably felt a little sympathy for Yunli, so much so that when he saw Yunli the next day, his eyes were a little wrong, and he was stepped on by Qing Geer.

"What are you looking at! Have you ever met Brother Li's husband?!" Brother Qing was fierce, staring at him like looking at a bum in the village who loves to take advantage of others.

Liu Ming jumped up and down in pain, "You little brother! Hiss..."

The hairs all over Yunli's body stood on end just now when Liu Mingxi looked at her. If Brother Qing hadn't stepped up and stepped on him first, he would have to ask Young Master Liu what happened and why he looked at him with that kind of eyes.

"What's wrong with my little brother?" Brother Qing put his hips on his hips and raised his head, "My little brother knows that it's impolite to stare at other people's husbands, do you know that? "

"You...you...will you be able to marry after you are so hot?" Liu Mingxi muttered in a low voice, and Brother Qing was so angry that he wanted to give him another kick.

Liu Mingxi hopped on one foot twice, staying away from the irritable brother Qing, "Ahem, what, is Linfeng at home? I have something to ask him."

Yunli moved out of the way, "Yes, young master Liu, come in first." When Liu Mingxi and Liu Chong led the carriage in, Yunli was about to close the door when she saw a familiar figure not far away, so she took a few extra glances .

"Lizi, what are you looking at?" Seeing that he didn't respond, Brother Qing tugged at his arm.

Yunli pointed to the locust tree not far away, "Look, are those two people Bai Xiaocha and Zhang Linghua?"

Brother Qing looked carefully for a while, "It's true, but how did Bai Xiaocha and Zhang Linghua get together?"

"Zhang Linghua doesn't hate people who look better than her the most. Why are you holding hands with Bai Xiaocha now, as close as sisters?" Brother Qing was a little surprised, what happened? "No, I have to inquire. There is nothing good about these two women."

After finishing speaking, Brother Qing didn't stay at Li's house anymore, he told Yunli to come back to learn Chinese characters later, and then ran away. He was in a hurry, but lively.

Yunli knew that he was curious, so she didn't let him inquire. He must be impatient to do other things, and didn't stop him. He just looked at the two women holding hands and always felt that it was against him. here.

Bai Xiaocha knew what was going on, but what did Zhang Linghua want?
