There is a fisherman's family deep in the lake that is very lively today. The family's surname is Xia. The male owner is Xia Yucheng. He was originally a poor fisherman. He had a son and a daughter. The daughter was called Lian Xinsheng, a fairy-like person. Later it was said that the daughter went to a wealthy family.
The life of the maid gradually became better after the maid earned money to supplement the family's income. During the famine, many fishermen's families were broken up and their families were left to sell their sons and daughters to make ends meet. Not only did the Xia family have a secure livelihood, they also often gave charity to their neighbors.
But at this time, there were many bad rumors, saying that the daughter of the Xia family was not a maid at all. How could a maid earn such a high salary? She must have been a concubine for others. What's even worse is that
It was said that she went to Yihongyuan to be a cousin. This made Xia Yucheng go crazy. He kept explaining that his daughter was a maid in the house of a high official in the capital. The official had a good relationship with Prince De's house. At that time, the neighbors also saw
Come to the carriage of Prince Youde's Mansion to deliver wine.
Spread rumors and refute them, but no matter how you explain it, it will not help. People who do good deeds would rather believe it. After all, ordinary people are obsessed with it. We are all happy when we are poor, but who wants to be rich?
That’s incredible, I laugh at you but don’t hate you.
The rumors have been spreading like this for more than half a year, and the Xia family couple can only hold their anger in their hearts since there is no point in explaining it. Fortunately, since the precious girl learned to write, letters and money will be sent to her every once in a while.
Yucheng and his wife are illiterate, but their son Lianzi can read and write letters even after attending school.
That is to say, Xia Yucheng knew from the letter that her daughter was indeed working as a maid in a high-ranking official's house, serving all dignitaries. However, the master's family was very kind to her and never treated her as a maid. There was also someone to teach her how to read and write.
The wages paid were shocking. Of course, there were many things that couldn't be told to Xia Yucheng in detail. Lian Xin still knew what things should be kept secret, just like Xia Yucheng never knew that those who helped Lian Xin deliver letters and money were from Dongchang.
Of course, these fans are not specifically for Lian Xin to run errands, they are just asking people who are passing by for business to drop by Lian Xin.
Lian Xin Niang missed her daughter so much that she wanted to visit Lian Xin in the capital several times, but Xia Yucheng was worried that the road would be uneasy so she did not make the trip. Not long ago, Lian Xin sent someone a letter saying that she would go home soon, so the family of three looked forward to it every day.
Ya hope.
Finally early this morning, a carriage arrived at the door of the house, attracting neighbors to come and see the fun. After all, the carriages these days were all from wealthy families. Unexpectedly, Lian Xin got off the carriage, and the family of four happily hugged her.
I had a headache and cried, and the neighbors were dumbfounded. They all came forward to say hello, oh, Lian Xin is back... Lian Xin is still the same and as beautiful as a fallen fairy... Our Lian Xin is really promising...
Lian Xin had to temporarily break away from the joy of reunion to deal with these neighbors. She brought a lot of specialties from the capital to distribute to the neighbors. In fact, they were all kinds of snacks, jewelry and trinkets. You know, she was full of them.
They came back in one car. In the final analysis, Lian Xin was not short of money. Not to mention the wages Chang Yu paid, she also gave her regular rewards. Moreover, because she had served the princess, Kun Xing also gave her many things, including money.
However, this caused various speculations among the neighbors. Whose maid could be so rich? She was the concubine of the rich man's family, and even the eldest wife did not have such strength.
However, Lian Xin's family didn't care about other people's private competition at this time. They were immersed in the excitement of family reunion, asking each other about various things in the past six months, and of course, they were mostly listening to Lian Xin talk about various experiences in the capital.
"Have you ever seen the princess?" Xia Yucheng's family and the neighbors who were watching the excitement on the inside and outside of his home found it incredible.
Lian Xin looked proud: "I have seen the prince, and even entered the palace. The palace is huge, even bigger than Prince De's palace...".
This shocked his parents and neighbors to their core.
"Well, then your master should be a very important official, right?" A knowledgeable neighbor asked curiously. It is impossible for ordinary officials to enter the palace, let alone meet the prince and princess.
Lian Xin nodded: "It's a very big official, but I can't say it."
"I can guess pretty well even if you don't tell me. They should be the nobles in the capital, princes, princes, etc." It was the neighbor who had some knowledge who spoke. Lian Xin just smiled and did not deny or admit it.
, the neighbors felt that they were right, and at this time they also began to believe that Lian Xin was really working as a maid for someone. After all, it was a wealthy family, and they were very generous. It was definitely not like the wages paid to maids by wealthy locals in small places, hey...
…poverty limits one’s imagination.
Lian Xin's little talkative talker said that children also like to share their experiences with others, and the neighbors also liked to listen. They didn't disperse until noon. After dinner, some people even came to visit, saying that they were here to visit.
, but actually it’s to see if I can get some gifts or something.
On this day, Lian Xin was hardly idle. It wasn't until it was almost dark that the neighbors dispersed, and the moment that belonged to the family really came. Xia Yucheng went to the lake to catch some fish and made Lian Xin his favorite candies.
Vinegar fish.
Lian Xin was helping to light the fire, and her younger brother Lian Zi was helping to kill the fish. The family was busy making dinner and chatting happily. At this moment, a big man appeared at the door of Lian Xin's house. He whispered that the shopkeeper was coming for dinner in the evening and left.
.
The shopkeeper? Xia Yucheng looked confused, while Lian Xin said happily: "It's Brother Chang."
"Ah! Master Chang is here too?" Xia Yucheng had already assumed that Chang Yu was the young master of the official's family, and Lian Xin did not deny it. As soon as she heard that he was coming, the Xia family started to get busy, not only preparing meals.
I still need to tidy up the house.
It was dark, Chang Yu and Tu Yuan were still walking by the lake. They ran out of the palace secretly. It was certain that even if there were people watching at the palace, they were thrown away. Even Chang Yu felt that even Jiang Fa and others had been thrown away.
, As for just him and Tu Yuan, are they really not afraid of getting into trouble if they go out for a walk?
Do you really think that there will be no one around him during this trip except Tu Yuan's 20 Black Tiger Camp riders and a few personal attendants such as Jiang Fa Sujing?
Dongchang raised so many pigs and went to bask in the sun?
Let's put it this way, unless he doesn't want people to follow him, but if he wants to use people, he can mobilize more than a hundred people nearby within an hour, and of course this includes people from Jin Yiwei.
What's more, he had already secretly deployed people before he left the capital. These people may not be the masters of the world flying around, but they are experts in killing people, setting fires, and tracking down locations. Even the masters of the world would have a headache if they encountered them.
It is no exaggeration to say that right now, there are countless Dongchang fans around Lianxin's house who are secretly watching.
Chang Yu stood outside the courtyard of Lian Xin's house, sighing in his heart that time passed so fast. It was almost a year in the blink of an eye. Looking at the tree by the lake, he still remembered the elusive monk Haihong standing there the last time he came to Lian Xin's house.
That.
The yard of Lian Xin's house is made of fences, as is the gate. Almost all fishermen living by the lake are like this. There are few brick and stone walls. Chang Yu took a casual look and found that the fences were still the same as before, but the houses were still the same.
It has been repaired and is not as dilapidated as it was last year.
"Young Master, you are here." Lian Xin found Chang Yu's figure in the yard and ran over to open the fence with joy. Chang Yu saw her eyes red and swollen, and must have cried too hard for joy, so he chuckled and said, "You came in a hurry.
I didn't bring any gifts. I just picked up a jar of wine on my way to honor your father." Tu Yuan weighed the jar of wine in his hands behind him and laughed.
Lian Xin curled her lips: The young master's family is so lucky, why don't they pick up an extra jar? My father told me that we can't even buy wine in Jinan City."
While they were talking, Xia Yucheng, his wife and Lian Zi also came over and greeted Chang Yu warmly. At this time, the neighbors who were eating and chatting outside the door saw this scene and asked curiously: "Lian Xin, is there a relative at your house?"
"
"Yeah," Lian Xin agreed readily, and quickly dragged Chang Yu and Tu Yuan into the house.
The house has also been given a new look, and some furniture has been added. You must know that last year, the house was bare. At that time, when Chang Yu came to eat, he had to borrow tables, benches, and even chopsticks and bowls from the neighbor's house.
Chang Yu was chatting with Xia Yucheng in the house and asked about the harvest, while Lian Xin and her mother were busy cooking in the kitchen. After a while, several home-cooked dishes were served on the table. Chang Yu sniffed them hard and couldn't help but praise them.
He said: "This is the taste, but I have been thinking about it for a long time."
"Brother Chang, if you like to eat, come here often." Xia's mother said quickly. This title was what Lian Xin had repeatedly warned, saying that there were too many people and Chang Yu's identity should be kept secret. Calling him Young Master would attract attention.
.
"I will definitely come here when I have time." Chang Yu responded and suggested eating in the yard because the room was a bit stuffy. Lian Xin was a little worried about the inconvenience caused by being watched by neighbors. Chang Yu shrugged and seemed indifferent. The person he wanted to guard against was definitely very special.
These ordinary people.
Seeing this, Lian Xin had no choice but to agree. A few people packed up the table and were about to move it to the yard. Suddenly, they found a man standing there at some unknown time. Lian Xin was frightened. She took a closer look and said, "Master!"
Yes, Sujing is here. Maybe she is not a good person, nor is she a qualified master, but she did teach Lianxin to learn literature, literacy and martial arts. Now Lianxin can not only read and write letters, but also learned self-defense skills and traveled around the world to kill people.
Arson is certainly not qualified, but ordinary people in the market really can't hold her.
"After all, the master is not as good as an outsider." Su Jing snorted coldly: "Tu Yuan can eat this reunion dinner, but he has no share of being a master." Then he glanced at Chang Yu again: "Then King De can't find you all over the world. That's all.
, you can even run away from us and run here to hide in peace, can you hide from Master Jiang and the others, but can you hide from me?"
Su Jing was born to be a quiet person, and the originally lively atmosphere was instantly frozen. Xia Yucheng and his wife looked at her and wanted to explain but didn't know what to say. They just pulled Lian Xin and motioned for her to say something, but Lian Xin was also afraid.
Sujing: "Master, I, I don't know... I thought you..."
"Okay, okay, you're going to cause trouble." Chang Yu spoke at the right time, pulling Su Jing over and saying, "I never wanted to get rid of you. Do I have the ability to do so? I had expected that you would be able to guess where I was going.
I knew you were coming, and the chopsticks were prepared for you."
"Really?" I don't know what happened. After hearing Chang Yu's words, Su Jing, who was originally as cold as frost, suddenly softened her eyes and even sat down obediently.
"Lian Xin, where is this relative of yours?" Sure enough, the neighbor who was doing something good was standing outside the fence holding a rice bowl and asking while grabbing the rice. Lian Xin didn't know how to answer and looked at Chang Yu.
"A relative of the royal family," Chang Yu didn't even respond. The neighbor yelled, then quickly walked away with his rice bowl and went to the crowd.
After all, the palace is like heaven to ordinary people, and they don't dare to do whatever they want in person.
On a summer night, by the Daming Lake, the fisherman's family had a delicious meal. Although Su Jing was a quiet professional, laughter and laughter could be heard from time to time in the Xia family's yard. Although Chang Yu didn't drink, Tu Yuan accompanied Xia Yucheng to drink. Neighbors smelled the smell of alcohol.
I was so envious that I even believed that he was a relative of the royal family. After all, these days, ordinary people can’t get or buy wine in ordinary places.
