The Concubine of Crossing

Since they plan to go to Kyoto, the sooner the better, whether it is long or short, a year is not short, and now every day has an indescribable urgency for them.

Luo Laibao asked Xiaodouzi and Sanzi for their opinions, and asked them if they wanted to stay.

For these two servants who had been loyally protecting the Lord in the previous life, he hoped that they would have a good ending in this life.

As a result, the eyes of the two servants turned red, and the third son asked Li Xiao directly, "My lord, do you think I'm too stupid, so you don't want me?"

Li Xiao quickly explained, "No, but going this time may be dangerous..."

The third son burst into laughter immediately, "Follow me, I'm not afraid of anything!"

Xiaodouzi also said, "As long as the young master and madam don't dislike me, I will follow you all the time."

Luo Laibao was a little hesitant. He really hoped that Xiaodouzi would be fine, and he also wanted to leave some useful people for Luo Changfu.

At this time Luo Changfu said, "You still took them there. It would be too inconvenient for you to go out and have no one around you that you can use."

Luo Laibao thought about it, Xiaodouzi was indeed very comfortable with him, he had been specially trained/taught during this period, and all abilities had been greatly improved, without him, it would indeed be very inconvenient.

So he nodded and agreed to take the two of them.The two finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed big smiles.

Since Xiaodouzi wanted to follow them, he had to hand over the work that was on his shoulders these days first.Knowing that these things probably won't be under his control, Xiaodouzi didn't hide his secrets, and told the person Luo Changfu arranged to take over everything in detail, and at the same time taught him a lot of personal things. experience.

The newcomer who took over was Song Zi, who was bought by Luo Changfu from the matchmaker two days ago. He was very smart and had a disfigured younger sister with him.

It is said that the previous master fell in love with his younger sister and wanted to accept her as a concubine. The brother and sister resisted and were almost beaten to death. .

Because my elder brother has always brought a disfigured younger sister, and he was sold because of conflicts with the master's family, so after a long time at the prostitute's place, no one cares about her. It's Luo Changfu who sees people as clever, and it's a bit pitiful to hear about this. People, bought them together.

Originally, I wanted to get my sister to be a cook, but after all, I ruined one, and it looks unsightly after all.In the end, after buying it, Xiangniang looked at her face and said that she could cure it. Both brothers and sisters were overjoyed and kowtowed to Xiangniang for a while.

Luo Changfu saw that Songziren was really smart and willing to endure hardships. The most important thing was that both brothers and sisters had the deeds of prostitution in his hands. For a person who valued his sister so much, he had to weigh the deeds of prostitution in their hands if he wanted to do something.

So Luo Changfu intends to promote him and let him take over various matters with Xiaodouzi.Song Zi is indeed a hardworking person, he studies hard when he doesn't understand, and asks questions when he doesn't know, as if he is trying his best to learn.

One is willing to teach, and the other is willing to learn. Although it is inevitable to be jerky when doing things, Songzi also gets started very quickly.If it wasn't for Xiaodouzi who was about to leave, he probably wouldn't have dared to teach him so unreservedly. This is exactly the posture of teaching apprentices to starve to death of their masters.

Of course, if he didn't know that Xiaodouzi was going to leave, Songzi probably wouldn't have performed so well. After all, keeping a hand is something that masters in this world do most often if they are afraid of starving to death.

As a subordinate who works so hard, of course the master cannot be idle.Luo Laibao invited Zhou Wenqing out and personally asked him to help take care of his parents.

Zhou Wenqing didn't understand, "What do you think, uncle and aunt are not young anymore, instead of guarding in front of them, they have to go far away alone, are you so relieved?"

rest assured?Of course, don't worry, especially in the previous life when Zhou was not ill. In this life, Luo Laibao invited the doctor to his home to check Zhou's pulse, just in case something happened to her.

However, compared to worrying about Zhou's now, it is obvious that the matter in the capital is more urgent. He can only tell his family's servants to invite Lang Zhong to his home every few days.

Besides, I can only ask Zhou Wenqing to watch more.

Luo Laibao said, "We are merchants, how can merchants not move around. How can we find good and cheap sources without looking around?"

Zhou Wenqing didn't understand this very well, but it made some sense when he thought about it. Although he disagreed with this, each profession had its own way of doing things, so he couldn't say much.After all, his parents didn't speak, and his so-called relatives were separated by another layer, let alone have any position to say anything.

He nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing that the two had finished talking, Li Xiao said, "I want to ask my cousin about someone."

Li Xiao is a person who doesn't talk much, when the two of them talk, he listens quietly and rarely speaks.Now that he spoke suddenly, Zhou Wenqing was taken aback. He subconsciously sat up straight, "Sister-in-law, tell me."

Li Xiao is now accustomed to words like sister-in-law, and his face does not change when he hears Zhou Wenqing shouting, "His surname is Zhao, and his name is Ziju. I wonder if he is studying in Qingzhu Academy?"

"Where is the Ziju in "Mengxianji"?" Zhou Wenqing almost blurted out.I regretted it after I finished speaking. Didn't I tell others that I was reading the script by blurting out the name of the script so directly?Zhou Wenqing shrank his neck in guilty conscience, looked around a few times, and was relieved to make sure that there was no fucking person by his side.

Li Xiao was dumbfounded.At the beginning, Zhao Xiucai didn't expect that his writing would become popular, mainly because he was disheartened when he started writing, and he didn't think that he would be interested in the imperial examination again, so he directly took his own name and filled in the pen name.Every time he talked about it later, he felt regretful.

Li Xiao said vaguely, "It's probably the same name." Literati like to be fussy, if those old scholars know about Zhao Xiucai's writing of the storybook, it may cause a lot of trouble, so he should not cause trouble for him.

Zhou Wenqing thought about it, yes, literati cherish fame the most, probably because no one has filled in their pseudonyms with their pen names.It is even possible that this author and this Ziju had a little feud, so he used his name to fill in the pseudonym.

But thinking about how wonderful Ziju's storybook is, the person who can write such a storybook will not be the kind of narrow-minded person, so the biggest possibility is that the name was just a coincidence.

Since it is such a name, if he heard about it, it is impossible for him not to remember it. Zhou Wenqing shook his head, "I have never heard of it."

Li Xiao frowned, "He should arrive at about the same time as us..." Thinking of the boat they were on, and Zhao Xiucai didn't know what kind of transportation they were on, Li Xiao was silent, and added, "I can't say for sure. not yet…"

Zhou Wenqing: "..."

Li Xiao coughed, "Forget it if you don't have one, if one day such a person comes to your Qingzhu Academy, please tell him that we have already gone to Kyoto."

Zhou Wenqing nodded, motioning for him to write it down.

In this way, the two explained everything that should be explained, and only then began to prepare for the departure.

The husband and wife are very reluctant to part with the two of them, but they have already made up their minds, so they can't stay.And seeing that the weather is getting colder, if you don't arrive in Kyoto earlier, the road will definitely become more and more difficult.

So in the end, the couple began to urge them to leave quickly.

So two days later, after going to Zhou's house to say goodbye, the two were finally ready to leave.

When they were leaving, Zhou put someone beside them, "Xiang Niang is a capable person, please take her with you, some things that are inconvenient for men, it is more convenient to have her."

At this time, Song Guo, who was standing beside Zhou, revealed the face that he tried to hide before, and saw that the skin was as smooth as jade. How could he see the hideous scars on his original face?

Not to mention the others, even Luo Laibao was shocked.He only knew that Xiangniang was very good at making incense and poisoning, but he didn't expect that she was good at treating scars.

Li Xiao's thoughts moved slightly, Xiangniang's skill is really good, "Can you heal all scars, or can you only heal new wounds?"

Xiangniang pursed her lips and smiled, "It depends on the situation. Generally speaking, most scars can be cured."

Li Xiao looked at Luo Laibao, "Then take her with you." Li Xiao even spoke, Luo Laibao couldn't object, and nodded quickly, "Then come with us."

Xiang Niang bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Young Master, Young Madam."

Li Xiao: "..." Well, he felt that he might be inseparable from the word "Madam" for the rest of his life.

Everything was ready. On the day the two left, several Luo Changfu couples and several children watched them leave by boat.

Mrs. Zhou just wiped away her tears, and the eyes of several children were also red, especially Li Yueban, who was crying with snot and tears, it was unbearable to look at.

Seeing how he was crying, Mrs. Zhou felt much better after feeling uncomfortable for some reason, and couldn't help but said, "They're just going to the capital, and they'll be back soon."

The children all turned their heads and looked at her eagerly, Zhou's heart softened all of a sudden, seeing that the boat had already sailed away, he waved to the children, "Let's go, let's go home and I'll cook something delicious for you. "

The children all looked at the bow of the boat reluctantly, especially Li Shu, who just watched the boat completely disappear from sight, and silently clenched their fists.

Hemerocallis patted him on the shoulder, although he didn't say anything, he still expressed his comfort.

Li Shu clenched his fists, and said in a low voice, "Next time... next time I will be strong enough to be by Brother Xiao's side and be a useful person to him."

Li Xuancao pursed her lips, but did not speak.However, the look in his eyes was as firm as Li Shu's.

They all have to work hard to become stronger. Only when they become stronger can they not become a drag and truly follow Brother Xiao.In order to repay this kindness that they can't finish their work.
