The carriage walked some distance further and stopped in front of a small manor. The manor was not very big, but it could be seen that someone was taking care of it. The road in front of the manor was cleaned very clean, and the walls of the manor were very clean.
There are no weeds on the floor. There are two stone lions at the gate of the manor. On the gatehouse of the manor, there is a sign with the words Yunxia Village written on it.
This Yunxia Villa is the Liu family's villa. Few people usually come here. That is, every year in midsummer, the Liu family will come here to stay for a few days to escape the summer heat. Of course, they will also come here in autumn to go to Juyun.
Go hunting in the mountains.
At this time, people from the Liu family generally don't come here. Although Juyun Mountain is a famous scene in the soul world, it will be annoying if you see it too much. Living in Juyun
Few people in the city would come to Juyun Mountain at this time, because they all know that there are many people in Juyun Mountain at this time.
The carriage stopped, and Lao Menzi led Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er out of the carriage. At this time, Men Qing had already stepped forward to knock on the door.
Just as Men Qing patted the door a few times, the door opened. An old man who looked to be in his fifties was looking out from the door. As soon as the old man saw the old door, he quickly opened the door and bowed to the old door.
Shen said: "I've met the door manager."
The old man looked at the old man, smiled slightly and said: "Mu Mu, you old guy is getting more and more leisurely. Why didn't you go out today and instead you hid at home?"
The old man who opened the door was called Liu Sen, and he was the manager of the manor. Of course, he, as the manager, could not be compared with the old disciple. How could he, the manager of a leisurely manor, be compared with the old disciple.
But Liu Sen has done a good job. He has been here in the manor for a long time and has always taken good care of the manor. He usually goes to the fields to plant some land. He lives a leisurely life.
The disciple was even a little envious of him, and his old disciple had also thought about it. He would work as the external general manager for a few years, and then find a manor like this and become a general manager who didn't care about anything, which would be considered a retirement.
The Liu family is a big family, and there are many manors like this, not just here in Juyun City, but also in other places, even in Green City, so it is not difficult to be the general manager of such a manor.
Liu Sen looked at the old doorman and said with a smile: "The doorman is joking. There are so many outsiders here in Juyun Mountain these days. I don't want to cause trouble if I go out, so I can only hide at home every day."
Upon hearing what Liu Sen said, the old disciple couldn't help but be startled, and then he said with a serious face: "What, Old Liu, are there any outsiders who dare to cause trouble for our Liu family?" Although the old disciple wants to retire now, he is still here.
Having worked in the Liu family all his life, he has long regarded the Liu family as his own. Now when he heard what Liu Sen said, he was naturally unhappy.
Liu Sen quickly said: "No, no, you misunderstood, Chief Gate. In fact, Mr. Gate, you don't live under Juyun Mountain. You don't know that Juyun Mountain usually doesn't have many people coming all year round, but at this time of year,
, there will be a large number of people coming to Juyun Mountain. Among these people, there is a mix of dragons and snakes. There are all kinds of people. It is better to have some reasonable people. Whether they want to stay here or buy some food here, they will.
I'm polite, but some people are unreasonable. In order to avoid trouble, at this time, under normal circumstances, I will hide in the manor and not go out. Even if there are people staying overnight, I will send them away. After all, here
There are many places where people can live.”
Hearing what Liu Sen said, the old man nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's good if no one makes trouble. Okay, Old Liu, my god-grandson and god-granddaughter are here today. I'll take them to have a look."
The scenery of the mountains gathers the wind and clouds. We will stay here for one night. Please arrange a few houses for us. Don’t touch the main house. It seems that the young master in the family wants to come here on a whim. If there is no house to live in, it will be troublesome.
, you can just arrange a place for me in the outer courtyard."
Liu Sen nodded and said: "Okay, there are many rooms in the outer courtyard, and I will clean them every day. Please, the door manager, this little brother, please drive the carriage to the backyard. There is a yard dedicated to storing carriages.
." Men Qing responded and drove the carriage away.
The old man led Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er into the yard and followed Liu Sen. The yard was very simple. The front yard was like a courtyard, except that in the main room there was a hall, which could be accessed from
Go directly to the backyard from there, and the backyard is the main house, where the Liu family lives every time they come to the manor, and the outer courtyard is where the servants live.
Although this outer courtyard is where the servants live, the place here is also very large, and the rooms here are quite good. Liu Sen led the old disciple and the others to a room in the outer garden, stretched out his hand and opened the door and said:
"General Manager, how about you and your children stay in this room?"
The old man looked into this room and nodded with satisfaction. Although this room is not big, there is a small living room right after entering the room. It is not a living room, but it is just a small Eight Immortals table in the room. That's it.
, there is a big kang inside, because this is at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain wind is very strong, so the mountain people are used to living on a fire kang, which is warm and comfortable.
In fact, this room is for low-level servants and is not suitable for the old man's status. However, the old man is very satisfied and even thinks that it is very suitable because the better rooms are all filled with beds.
Not only was the room cold, but because the bed was too small, he couldn't live with Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er. Of course he didn't like it.
The old man turned around and patted Liu Sen on the shoulder and said: "What a fool, you are there. No wonder you are in charge of the position of manager of this manor. You, an old guy, have been sitting here for so many years and you are quite capable. By the way, where is your son? What's the matter?
Didn’t you see him? Doesn’t your family live here?”
The manager of a manor is different from other managers. Anyone who works as a manager in a manor will have his family live in that manor, and the family will generally not send other people to that manor, and the entire manor will belong to the manor.
They take care of it as a family, and if they do a good job, they will be rewarded at the end of the year.
Liu Sen has two sons and one daughter. His daughter has already married, so naturally she will not live in the manor. However, his two sons live with him in the manor. The Liu family does not
When I came here, the manor seemed like their home, and they lived a leisurely life.
When Liu Sen heard what the old man said, he quickly said: "The eldest son ran into the fields and should be back soon. The second son is feeding the horses in the backyard. You also know that living in this manor is impossible without horses."
, it’s too inconvenient to sell something.”
The old man nodded and said, "Okay, let your daughter-in-law cook two more dishes and have two drinks with me in the evening."
Liu Sen smiled and said: "Yes, the door manager. I wonder what the door manager would like to eat?"
The old gatekeeper looked at Liu Sen and said with a smile: "Mumu, did you do it on purpose? You've been calling me the general manager of Tianmen for so long, and I can't bear it. Now you still call me that, are you doing it on purpose? Why don't you change it soon?
, just like before, just call me Brother Men. My grandchildren are here. It’s up to you to do whatever you want. Yu’er, Bao’er, call me Grandpa Liu.”
Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er immediately saluted Liu Sen and said, "Hello, Grandpa Liu."
When Liu Sen saw the sensible look of the two little guys, he quickly said: "Okay, okay, you are so good, you two wait, Grandpa Liu will get you something to eat." After speaking, Liu Sen turned to the old disciple and said
: "Brother Men, you can settle down yourself while I let them prepare food. The year before last, I buried two jars of good wine under the pine tree. Tonight, we two brothers will have a good drink."
The old doorman laughed loudly, patted Liu Sen's shoulder hard and said: "That's right, what do you call the door manager? It's great like this. Go and get it. You don't have to worry about it. I'm here anyway.
Not once or twice, I know where the things are. By the way, I also brought some food in the car, please take it down." Liu Sen responded, turned around and left.
The old man led Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er into the room. This room was very simple. It could be said that it was clear at a glance. What was in it could be seen at a glance. Apart from the Eight Immortals table and four stools, there was nothing else in it.
Only the cabinet on the kang is considered furniture.
The old man opened the cabinet and looked inside. There were several quilts inside, and it looked like they were all washed. The old man nodded with satisfaction, closed the door of the cabinet, turned to Xiao Hecao and said: "
Bao'er, we will stay here tonight." Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er both nodded excitedly. Children are like this. Whenever they go to a new place, they will be very excited at the beginning.
They will look at this place like a treasure hunt, trying to find out what makes this place different from other places.
The old man looked at the two of them, smiled slightly and said: "Okay, let's go, I will take you to the yard to have a look. The backyard is much more interesting than here, let's go." The two children nodded happily,
Follow the old man to the backyard. The backyard is the main room, which is naturally much more grand than the outer courtyard. However, because the owner has not been here for a long time, although it is very clean, it lacks some popularity.
Because this is just a manor, the layout here is still a lot worse than the Liu Mansion in the city. However, there are very big trees planted here, and the trees are very tall, and the whole yard looks peaceful and lush.
Full of greenery.
When they reached the back of the yard, Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er became excited, because from the backyard of the yard, they could directly see Juyun Mountain, the steep hillside, the trees on the hillside, etc.
It makes people feel inexplicably excited.
After walking around in the yard for a long time, the old man finally led the two of them back to the front yard. At this time, Liu Sen had come back, and so had Men Qing. The two were chatting in the yard, and when they saw the old man coming back
Liu Sen immediately greeted him, smiled at the old man and said: "Brother Men, I asked my second boy to go up the mountain. He set a few traps a few days ago, and I don't know if he can catch two game.
, it would be great if we could get it, we will have game to eat today."
The old man smiled and said: "Okay, I didn't expect that your second boy is so good at it. Whether you can eat game today depends on your second boy."
Liu Sen also laughed. At this time, the courtyard door opened, and a man dressed as a farmer in short clothes walked in from the outside. This man was stunned when he saw the people in the courtyard, and then he recognized the old man.
He immediately saluted the old disciple and said, "I have met the gatekeeper, Liu Yan is very polite." Liu Yan is Liu Sen's eldest son. He just came back from the fields. He had known the old disciple since he was a child, so he recognized the old disciple at a glance.
.
The old man looked at Liu Yan, chuckled and said: "Good boy, you are getting stronger and stronger. The last time I saw you was when you were getting married. At that time, you were not so strong.
I think that after several years of not seeing each other, your boy has become a strong young man. Okay, that's great."
Liu Yan hurriedly said: "The door manager has given me the reward." Obviously, although he knew that the old doorman had a relationship with their family, he did not have to abide by these rules, mainly because the Liu family's rules were very strict. If anyone knew
If you break the rules, the punishment will be very serious. Liu Yan still doesn't know whether his old disciple's surname has changed, so everything must be in line.
The old man looked at Liu Yan's appearance and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be so formal. Just call me uncle as before. I just came back from the fields? How are the crops growing in the fields?"
Liu Yan quickly said: "Come back, uncle, the crops in the fields are growing very well, and this year's harvest looks good." As soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, he heard a sound of horses neighing from outside.
This sound made several people in the yard stunned. Then Liu Yan immediately turned around and opened the courtyard door. Through the courtyard door, Lao Menzi and the others saw several horses parked outside, and several people jumped from the horses.
came down, and a carriage stopped beside it.
When he saw the people outside the courtyard, the old man couldn't help but be startled, and then he quickly whispered to Menqing: "Mengqing, you take Bao'er and Yu'er back to the house, and I'll go out and take a look." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out.
As he walked, he said: "I have met the seventh young master."
Xiao Hecao took a peek and found several young people standing outside the door. The souls on the heads of these young people were either beast souls or soldier souls. There was no craftsman soul or soul-planting soul. Obviously, their identities were unknown.
Not low, the leader is a young man, nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a strong body and a strong body. His eyes are shining with hope, and the whole person looks very bright. If the soul of the sword on his head is added,
It seemed even more impressive.
Xiao Hecao didn't know this person, but Liu Sen and the others did. This person was the seventh young master of the Liu family, named Liu Renli. He was a martial arts genius among the younger generation of the Liu family, and he was also very favored in the Liu family.
I didn't expect that he would come to Yunxia Village today. This is really a coincidence.
Liu Renli was also stunned when he saw his old disciple. He naturally knew his old disciple. He knew that his status in the family was unusual, so he was not rude to his old disciple. Instead, he nodded at his old disciple and said: "
It turns out to be Uncle Men, Uncle Men, why are you here? But who from the family is here?"
The old servant smiled and said: "No, to be honest with the seventh young master, two little kids from one of my friend's family came to see the old slave. The old slave took them to see the scenery here, but they met the seventh young master here.
