Chapter 23: Gathering the Clouds with the Liu Family
The dock of the Liu family was built outside Juyun City, because even if a city's city walls are high, there is a limit, and the masts of cargo ships are generally very high, which is impossible in any city.
Opening such a large water gate allows large cargo ships to park outside the city.
Xiao Hecao looked at Juyun City in the distance through the car window. The Liu family's dock was at least thirty miles away from Juyun City. This was not a very close distance, but the walls of Juyun City were very tall.
, so they can still clearly see the city wall of Juyun City from here.
The city wall of Juyun City is very tall and made of bluestone. It looks tall and mighty, as if it is impossible to be broken by the Renxiu people.
On the top of the city of Juyun City, there is a big flag. On this big flag, there is a big sword painted on it. This is the national flag of Daohun Country, Daohun Flag.
Lao Menzi is holding Xiao Yu'er now, listening to Xiao Yu'er talking about what happened on the ship. Lao Menzi is also very concerned about what happened on the ship. Now he finally knows. When he heard that Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er were hiding
Under the bed, when he heard the sound of water pirates coming from outside, his expression also changed. Later, when he heard that Liu Ji and the others were knocked unconscious, his expression became a little better. However, he held Xiao Yu'er's hand and
It tightened unconsciously.
After Xiao Yu'er finished speaking, the carriage also arrived at the gate of Juyun City. The gate of Juyun City is very busy now, because this gate leads directly to the dock. It is not just the Liu family's dock there, there are several others.
The docks at home, and even the public docks, had a lot of horse-drawn carriages coming and going, so it was naturally very lively.
After waiting for a long time, the carriage entered Juyun City. What surprised Xiao Hecao was that after entering the gate of Juyun City, there were not many shops here, but large courtyards.
, this made Xiao Hecao a little puzzled. You must know that in Green City, the area near the city gate has the most shops. How come there are no shops here?
The old man obviously didn't know what Xiao Hecao was thinking. He was still talking to Xiao Yu'er. Now the old man knew from Xiao Yu'er's mouth. To be honest, he really didn't know what Xiao Hecao did on the boat.
I thought that the little crane grass could do such an outstanding job.
However, seeing that Xiao Hecao was looking out intently, the old man did not talk to Xiao Hecao. Not long after entering the city gate, the carriage turned around and turned to a relatively remote alley.
After walking forward for a while, they arrived in front of a tall mansion. There was a large square in front of the mansion. It was paved with bluestones. On the edge of the square, there were several stone barrels standing.
Several carriages were tied there.
Outside this square, there is a tall sign board with four words written on it, "Juyun Liu's Mansion"! The carriage stopped in front of the mansion. The old man got out of the car with Xiao Hecao. Xiao Hecao took a look
, there is a tall sixth floor next to it. On both sides of the gatehouse are a pair of stone lions, which are powerful and domineering. Behind the stone lions is a row of steps, with a total of six steps. Two people are standing on the steps. Both of them are
Ordinary material souls, but they are equipped with two long knives.
There is a plaque hanging on the gatehouse with the word "Fu" written on it. On both sides of the gatehouse, there are two huge lanterns with the Chinese character "Liu" written on them.
Below the gatehouse are four large doors, with two middle doors in the middle. These two middle doors are very huge. Each door is nearly five meters wide. They are all black and flash with a trace of metal, but they should not be metal.
It was projected that each door was nailed with twelve palm-sized doornails. The doornails were made of yellow nails and were polished to shine. In the middle of the two doors, there were two lion-headed doornails.
The door knocker is obviously very impressive.
Next to the main door are two small doors. Each of these two small doors is about two meters wide, with six doornails and two door knockers.
The old man led Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er towards the small door on the left. When the three of them got up the steps, the two guards immediately hid from the three of them and said, "I've seen the door manager."
The old man just nodded, responded, and walked to the small door. A guard immediately ran over and helped the old man push the door open. The old man then led Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er into the door.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large garden. There are many trees in this garden, and you can see brightly blooming flowers everywhere. However, the old man did not need to stop here, but walked into the garden, moving forward.
On one side, you can see some workers working in the garden. These workers are obviously gardeners. When they saw the old man, they all saluted him.
The old man just nodded and walked inside. Behind the garden, there was a row of yards. This row of yards was not very big, but they were all single-family houses. Obviously the people who could live here had no status.
It will be lower. Next to these courtyards, there is a gatehouse, but this gatehouse is not as big as the main gatehouse, and it is not as grand. In front of this gatehouse, there are also two guards standing, both of whom are dressed in red.
He was wearing clothes and carrying a long sword, but his aura was very extraordinary.
The old man led Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er to one of the courtyards and stopped, then opened the courtyard door and walked in.
There are two young girls cleaning the yard. These two young girls are not very old. They are only about thirteen or fourteen years old. They are wearing coarse clothes and their appearance can only be regarded as average. These two young girls are not very old.
As soon as the girl saw the old disciple come in, she immediately saluted the old disciple and said: "General Manager."
The old man waved his hands and said: "That's all, these two are Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er. From now on, you will call Xiao Hecao Master Hecao and Xiao Yu'er Miss Yu'er. From now on, they will follow me in this yard.
Same, what they said is what I said, you have to take good care of them." The girl responded immediately.
These two girls are the servants of the Liu family, but they are not the children of the Liu family, but some servants sold by the Liu family from outside. They are not fully trusted yet, so they are rewarded by the Liu family.
Menzi has become Lao Menzi’s exclusive maid.
The old man turned to Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er and said: "Yu'er, Bao'er, from now on, you can go and play as you like in this yard and the garden outside. You can also pick the flowers in the garden, but
Remember, those two men in red clothes are guarding the gate. Don't go in, otherwise they will beat you, do you hear that?" The two men responded quickly.
The old man looked at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Bao'er, Yu'er, you play in the yard first. Menqing will come back later. You can ask Menqing to take you out to play. Grandpa has something to do.
, when grandpa is done with his work, he will take you out to play."
Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er will naturally not object. They have been accustomed to this situation since they were already accustomed to this situation, because Tian Niu was like this before. When he was not busy, he would take you to play whatever he wanted, but when he was doing business, he would
You can't disturb him, otherwise he will lose his temper, so the two little ones know very well when they should play and when they should stay quiet.
When the old man saw that the two agreed, he nodded, turned to the two maids and said: "Ling Dang, Cuizhu, you two go and take out the toys I bought a few days ago. Take them all out and return them."
Yes, bring out the snacks and candies, and prepare the fruits. By the way, I'm making a cup of honey water for each of them. I want it to be sweeter." The two maids responded, turned around and walked away. At this time, they stopped.
After the carriage was ready, Men Qing also entered the yard. The old man used the Liu family's own carriage. Such carriages were meant to be parked in the Liu family's yard. The carriages parked in the square outside were all coming to visit the Liu family.
The people's carriages are different from theirs.
As soon as he saw Men Qing coming back, the old man said to Men Qing: "Men Qing, you take good care of them at home. By the way, get some money. But Xiao He Cao and the others like to go out to play, so you take them out."
Go around and keep an eye on them, don't get lost, and buy whatever they want." Men Qing responded, and the old man turned to look at He Cao and Xiao Yu'er, and said with a smile: "Bao'er, Yu'er
, you two have a good time playing with brother Menqing, grandpa is going out to be busy."
Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er responded quickly, looking very sensible. The old man looked at the two of them, naturally feeling relieved, and left the yard with a smile.
At this time, the two maids also took out toys, food and drinks. When they saw these things that the two maids took out, Men Qing couldn't help but smile. He knew before that Lao Menzi had prepared a lot of these things. He
I still don’t know what Lao Menzi wants to prepare these things for, but now he finally knows.
Menqing also has some experience in taking care of children. After all, the Men's family is considered a small family, and Menqing's family has many brothers and sisters. He has also helped take care of children, so he is not unfamiliar with taking care of children.
He looked at Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er and said: "Hecao, Yu'er, come and have something to eat. You can't eat anything on the boat. Now that you're home, just tell them what you want to eat and I'll ask them to give it to you.
Prepare."
Yu'er smiled and said: "Thank you, brother Menqing, I like to eat fruits." Xiaohecao also thanked Menqing, but did not express anything, which made Menqing even more curious about Xiaohecao.
At this time, Lingdang brought over two cups and handed them to Hecao and Yu'er. Hecao and Yu'er took the cups and thanked them. Then they sipped the honey water in the cups, but when they saw
Men Qing became even more curious when the two behaved like this. Both Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er showed good upbringing, which was very rare.
The two drank a glass of honey water, and Xiao Yu'er picked up another fruit to eat. However, after just drinking the honey water, the fruit was not so delicious. Xiao Yu'er just took a few bites and stopped eating. She moved the fruit to a smaller size.
Hecao stuffed it in his hands and ran to the pile of toys to play.
Xiao Hecao looked at Xiao Yu'er and smiled bitterly. After finishing the fruit in two or two mouths, he walked to the toy pile. In this toy pile, there were many toys, including small snakes made of wood.
There are activities, a small carriage, a small water wheel, a small windmill, and a few small puppets and puppets. There are really a lot of fun things.
Men Qing couldn't help but smile when he looked at the two of them. Now they looked like normal children.
