Chapter 966
He stepped forward to knock on the door, and soon there was an old voice from inside, but after waiting for a long time, the door opened from the inside.
The one who came out to answer the door was an old slave with all white hair and an old face, older than Liu Yusheng imagined.
And at a glance, one can see why the old slave answered so quickly but opened the door so slowly. His legs and feet are inconvenient, and one foot is lame.
"Is the owner here? Come in quickly, it's very cold outside." The old slave was taken aback when he saw a few people, and when he saw Liu Zhiqiu, the old slave immediately stepped back to welcome them in.
The look is very stiff, a little at a loss.
Probably because he was afraid that his appearance would be disgusted by the few distinguished guests who accompanied him.
It's no wonder that the old slave reacted like this. Just because of the nobility exuded by Feng Qingbai alone, ordinary people will subconsciously be humble when they see it.
"Uncle Liu, don't be nervous, these are my family members," Liu Zhiqiu explained after entering the door, "Go back to the concierge and sit, we will go in by ourselves, there is no need to say hello."
"Yes, thank you sir."
Following Liu Zhiqiu, watching him walk in the familiar way, Liu Yusheng was curious about what kind of servants the second brother bought.
The yard of the farm is quite large, with all kinds of garden scenery inside, the yard is cleaned very well, the snow on the main road has been cleared, and it will not be slippery when stepped on.
What caught her eye made her quite satisfied, which showed that the servant was diligent and conscious.
"Uncle Liu Shu's name was given by me later." After walking a certain distance, Liu Zhiqiu explained, "There are five other people in Zhuangzi besides him, namely willow roots, willow branches, willow branches, willow leaves, and willow buds. They're actually a family."
After a pause, Liu Zhiqiu lowered his voice, "Uncle Liu's wife is already dead, and I killed him with a head-on collision. The rest of the people are also gone. They were all seriously injured by the original boss, and left with disabilities."
"What's going on?" Liu Yusheng frowned.
"Liu Ya is Uncle Liu Ya's little granddaughter. She looks good. She was ruined by the original owner and committed suicide several times. Uncle Liu's family had the courage to ask for mercy and asked their master to let Liu Ya go. Instead, they were insulted and beaten. My wife was killed on the spot. Originally, they were all going to be sold by the owner as low-ranking people, but later I used some connections to buy them and let them help guard the village, so they have a safe place to go."
"This kind of thing is not uncommon for big families. With the deed of sale in their hands, they can decide the life and death of their slaves at will. In their eyes, domestic slaves are no different from animals, and they can be used for fun at any time. Most people choose to swallow their anger and be more stubborn. If you choose to die, there will never be a good result." Liu Muqiu pursed her lips, she came from a big family, and she has seen and heard such things a few times.
Household slaves, especially women, can hardly escape this fate if they are well-born.
In the upper circles, there is never a shortage of pious people.
Turning her head to look at the man beside her with a straight expression and straight back, Liu Muqiu couldn't help holding his hand.
A man whose eyes and smile are as clean and warm as the clear sky must have a kind and soft heart.
That's why she recognized him at a glance.
Love him so much.
The hand was immediately held backwards, the temperature from the palm to the bottom of the heart made Liu Muqiu bend his eyes.
This man can warm her for the rest of her life.
Behind the two, Liu Zhixia, Liu Yusheng and Feng Qingbai did not speak.
The eldest brother and Feng Qingbai are both people with deep thoughts. Liu Yusheng doesn't know if they will be moved by what they said, but she is very proud of her second brother.
No matter when and where, the second brother's heart remains pure.
In front was the hall, there were figures walking around inside, and when they heard footsteps outside, the people inside came out.
One is a middle-aged woman with a vicissitudes of life, and the other is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. She looks very good-looking. When she sees this person, her eyes unconsciously show fear and panic.
This should be the willow bud that the second brother said.
"My servant has seen the owner's house and all the distinguished guests." The woman led the girl to salute, and blocked the girl behind without a trace.
Liu Yusheng and the others pretended not to notice her action.
Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, it is natural to have this kind of defense.
"Aunt Liu Zhi, this is my elder brother, these two are my younger sister and brother-in-law, this is my wife, both of whom are members of my family." Holding Liu Muqiu's hand, Liu Zhiqiu briefly introduced, "You guys make pots Come over with tea, and then go to tidy up a few guest rooms, we will stay in Zhuangzi for a few days, by the way, you can ask Uncle Liu Gen to come over, I have something to ask him."
He didn't let them be excused, something that was deeply rooted, and there was no need to waste time correcting it.
It's more natural to get along like this.
Perhaps because of his calm attitude, the tense mother and daughter relaxed a little, and immediately retreated to work.
After the two left, Liu Zhiqiu changed the topic to the main topic, "I will ask Uncle Liu Gen to go to the village to talk to the tenants, and ask them to come over and re-sign the lease. After finishing these, I will take you to inspect the village. Tomorrow we will have Brother Feng Qingbai and you two have come out, go to the yamen and say hello to me."
"It's icy and snowy, so you don't need to inspect the village. If you go out for a walk, you will see nothing but white snow." Liu Zhixia said lightly, "I'm a little tired after sitting in the carriage for a long time. Do it yourself. Remember to ask Zhuangzi to prepare the meal, our dinner time is at the same time as you.”
Feng Qingbai also said, "Shengsheng and I also want to take a nap, so don't call us out until meal time."
Liu Zhiqiu looked at this and that, "Are you so afraid that I will order you to help? Are you brothers?"
"Now it is not."
"..." Liu Zhiqiu was really convinced.
How could he know both of them in advance what he was thinking?
People in the officialdom all have mind reading skills?
He is such a big farmer, and there are probably fifty or sixty tenants who want to rent a field. If he alone signs a contract with them to say the rules, how long will he have to work? In particular, he only charged 30% of the rent, which would inevitably cause a lot of shock among the tenants, and he would have to speak dryly just to answer questions.
As the matter spreads to the outside world, there will definitely be an endless stream of tenants coming up.
So from the very beginning, he planned to make his eldest brother follow Feng Qingbai into a strong man.
As a result, they ran away one by one before he even opened his mouth. Does this Zhuangzi belong to him alone?
...It really belongs to him alone.
The eldest brother followed suit Qingbai, so he didn't bother to be the boss with him.
And they are ruthless, and they will never soften their hearts and sympathize with him.
Liu Zhiqiu adjusted his expression, and looked at Liu Yusheng pitifully, "Ninny, Second Brother will love you since he was young..."
The woman's expression was more helpless than his, "Brother, you hurt me a little bit, why doesn't it hurt now? You really make me do such a tiring job?"
"..." Liu Zhiqiu died in the arms of his wife.
Good morning goblins, I finally finished the task, I really don't have the energy to correct the typos, Ni Meng helped me catch the worms while reading the article, I will correct it after I get up. I'm going to sleep.
