Liu Yuan was not surprised at all by Deng Zijun's arrival. She smiled at Liu Xiu, who looked doubtful, and said, "During this period, Zijun has been running here almost every day!"
Liu Xiu asked in confusion: "What is she here for?"
Liu Yuan smiled meaningfully and said, "Zijun seems to have fallen in love with someone."
Liu Xiu blinked and asked subconsciously: "Who is it?"
"Ziling!"
"What?" Deng Zijun fell in love with Ziling? Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help bursting into laughter. In his opinion, the two of them were completely unrelated people.
Liu Yuan said dissatisfied: "Why are you laughing! Do you think they are inappropriate?"
"This..." Liu Xiu really didn't dare to say this. He was just curious as to why this unruly girl like Deng Zijun fell in love with Ziling? He asked: "Second sister, how did you know that Zijun fell in love with Ziling?" Ziling?"
"Zijun said it herself!" Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Zijun said that the last time she went to the underworld for a banquet, she was drugged. When she woke up, the first thing she saw was that she had been waiting Zi Ling, who was beside her, said she had never seen such a handsome man before!"
Liu Xiu coughed twice. These words were not something a girl could say, but coming from Deng Zijun's mouth, they seemed to be normal. Just as he was about to speak, a crisp cry came from outside the door: " Aunt!"
Following the words, a gust of fragrant wind blew in from outside. Liu Xiu raised his eyes and saw that it was Deng Zijun who ran in quickly from outside.
Deng Zijun is wearing a light pink fairy dress, which is clear and watery. She looks like a bud in bud, which is both beautiful and full of vitality.
Seeing that Liu Xiu was there, Deng Zijun pretended to be surprised and said: "Uncle, it turns out you are here too!"
Liu Xiu almost choked on his own saliva. He quickly nodded to Deng Zijun and said, "Zijun!"
"Uncle, where is Ziling? Did Ziling come back with you?"
"Ah, Zi Ling... Zi Ling is in his room..."
Before he finished speaking, Deng Zijun couldn't wait to say: "I'll go find him!" Before Liu Xiu could reply, she had already gone to the hall and went straight to the guest room where Yan Guang was staying.
After Deng Zijun left for a while, Liu Xiucai came back to his senses. He couldn't help but ask: "Second sister, what does Zijun see in Ziling?"
Liu Yuan said cheerfully: "Didn't I tell you before? Zijun said that Ziling is the most handsome and handsome man she has ever seen!"
"Ha!" Liu Xiu scratched his hair inexplicably. He wondered if there was something wrong with Deng Zijun's eyes.
If someone said that Yan Guang has a good temperament, a good inner talent, a wealth of knowledge, and a wealth of knowledge, he would 100% agree with this. But in terms of appearance, Yan Guang is really ordinary, not ugly, but at best he has a good-looking appearance, and Handsome and good-looking don't go together at all.
Liu Yuan said with a smile: "As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! This little girl Zijun has indeed fallen in love with Ziling this time! Axiu, you must also help Zijun!"
Liu Xiu smiled bitterly. Zi Ling is a Taoist, and what he cultivates is to eliminate distracting thoughts and keep his mind pure. Let alone Deng Zijun, even if Daji, Xi Shi, and Zhao Feiyan were alive, standing in front of him, Ziling's personality would not give him a second thought. Take a look.
He sighed softly and said, "Zi Jun is really good at choosing!" It was not good to choose anyone, but she chose Zi Ling, which probably doomed her relationship to be troubled.
Not long after, Deng Yu, Yan Guang, Zhu You, Gai Yan, and Long Yuan all washed up, changed their clothes, and came to the lobby. What was different from the others was that Yan Guang had a 'little tail' behind him. , Deng Zijun.
After everyone entered the hall, they all bowed and saluted Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan waved his hands to them, indicating that they didn't need to be polite. When they all sat down, Deng Zijun consciously took a seat, placed it next to Yan Guang, and knelt down next to him.
When Liu Xiu, Deng Yu and others saw this, they all showed expressions that were half-smiling but not smiling. Yan Guang was very calm, his expression always as plain as water. As soon as Deng Zijun sat down next to him, he turned around, polite and transparent He said distantly: "Miss Zijun, if nothing happens, please go home first!"
"Why is everything okay? I still have to wait for my uncle to come back! I haven't seen my uncle for some days, and Zijun misses him very much!" Deng Zijun said seriously.
Liu Yuan almost laughed when he heard this. When did Zijun's relationship with his uncle become so good?
Yan Guang had to wait for his uncle to come back, so Yan Guang couldn't say anything more. He could only move the seat cushion underneath him to the side. As soon as he moved, Deng Zijun followed suit. Not only did the distance between the two not widen, Instead, it became closer.
Seeing Yan Guang's helpless eyes, Zhu You and Gai Yan laughed mercilessly across from them. The former shook his head and said: "It's really the hardest to accept the kindness of a beauty!"
His words made Deng Zijun's face turn red, she lowered her head slightly shyly, and secretly glanced at Yan Guang from the corner of her eye, shy and timid, like a shy little daughter-in-law.
Liu Xiu was also amused by Deng Zijun's appearance. After laughing for a while, he turned to look at Deng Yu and asked, "Zhonghua, do you think there is still a shortage of manpower at Baishan?"
Deng Yu thought about it seriously and said: "For now, I think five hundred people are enough. Our layout in Baishan is not that the more people, the better. The top priority is concealment and safety."
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I'm also worried that once there are too many people, just transporting food to the mountains will become a big problem."
There are currently 500 people in Baishan. People need to eat and drink every day, and all they consume is money. Although the Deng family has a strong foundation, it cannot support these many people for a long time.
These days, the Deng family has spent a lot of their savings on buying materials, ore, and grain, and the remaining savings are already stretched thin.
While everyone was sitting in the hall discussing, Deng Chen, who had bought several carts of grain in the market, returned to Deng's house.
He had already heard the news that Liu Xiu and others had returned home, but he did not expect that Deng Zijun was also there. The servant brought a basin, and he asked with a smile while washing his hands: "Zijun, when did you come?"
"Uncle, I just arrived. I made a special trip to see you. I also came to see Zi Ling. I haven't thanked Zi Ling for saving me last time!"
"Well!" Deng Chen glanced at Deng Zijun appreciatively, as if to say that he was polite and behaved well and did not embarrass the Deng family.
Liu Xiu, Liu Yuan and others all sighed. Deng Chen didn't realize that Deng Zijun's closeness to Yan Guang had already exceeded the maximum limit of gratitude.
With Deng Chen present, Deng Zijun still had some scruples and did not dare to get so close to Yan Guang anymore, which made Yan Guang secretly relieved.
After Deng Chen sat down, Liu Xiu asked seriously: "Brother-in-law, have you spent a lot of savings in the house during this period?"
Deng Chen was startled at first, and then said with a relaxed expression: "Axiu, you don't have to worry about money matters, my brother-in-law will find a way to solve it."
Liu Xiu frowned. What they needed now was not just a small amount of money, but a steady stream of money. He asked, "Brother-in-law, what can I do to solve this problem?"
Deng Chen said with a smile: "I also have many close friends in Xinye, and they can all help me at critical moments!"
Liu Xiu said with concern: "Brother-in-law, I'm worried that it's just a drop in the bucket!" With his brother-in-law, it's not easy to borrow money from someone once. How can he borrow money multiple times in a row?
Deng Chen rubbed his chin and did not answer immediately.
Now he really feels the pressure of money. It costs money to rebuild the furnace, money to buy and make tools, ore, food, in short, everything needed costs money.
Seeing his uncle's expression of embarrassment, Yan Guang also frowned and remained silent. Deng Zijun quickly said: "Uncle, I can go home and ask my father to contribute money and effort!"
She didn't even know what Liu Xiu, Deng Chen and others were doing in Baishan, but as long as she could help Yan Guang, she would do her best.
Deng Chen shook his head slowly. He knew very well how his eldest brother was living. It wasn't difficult, but he wasn't rich either. With his little fortune, even if it were all taken out, it wouldn't be enough to fill the gap between his teeth!
He said seriously to Deng Zijun: "Zijun, don't tell your father about this. If you have any difficulties, your uncle will find a way to solve it." As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiu and asked: "Axiu, what do you have?
Method?"
"This whole thing cannot be accomplished by my brother-in-law and his family alone. We must find strong support!"
"What support does Axiu mean?"
"Who is the most powerful person in Xinye?"
"The Yin family?"
Liu Xiu nodded and said seriously: "Brother-in-law, if we want to succeed, we must get the support of the Yin family!" Only the Yin family has the financial resources to support them in getting things done.
Deng Chen pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will take a trip to the underworld."
"Brother-in-law, I'll go with you!"
Deng Chen originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it. Axiu and Yin Shi and Yin Xing got along well. With Axiu here, he might be able to persuade the Yin family. He responded: "Okay, let's go to the underworld together tomorrow.
"
After everyone had dinner, Deng Zijun could no longer stay in the Deng Mansion, so she reluctantly said goodbye to Deng Chen and Liu Yuan. When she left, she still looked back three times, but the person she was looking at was no one else but Yan Guang.
In the evening, Liu Xiu was reading a book in his room when he suddenly heard a soft snap from the yard outside.
Liu Xiu immediately put down the letter and listened carefully. Then he picked up his sword, stood up, opened the door and walked out.
The courtyard was empty, with no one around. At this moment, a small head suddenly poked out from the wall of the courtyard and called in a low voice: "Liu Xiu!"
Liu Xiu turned around and saw that the little head exposed on the courtyard wall was none other than Jiu'er. He raised the corners of his mouth, walked to the courtyard wall, raised his eyes and looked up, and said, "Miss Jiu'er doesn't steal on the street.
Have you become a gentleman?"
Jiu'er's face turned red and she said angrily: "It seems you don't want me to come to you, so I'm leaving." As she spoke, her little head began to retract.
"Hey, I'm just joking with you." Liu Xiu waved his hand to her, and then he jumped up, tapping the wall with his toes lightly, and he jumped up to the courtyard wall and sat on the edge of the wall.
Liu Xiu jumped so easily to the courtyard wall that was more than ten feet high, which shocked Jiu'er. You must know that she could climb so high, but it took a lot of effort and she had tools to help her.
She was frightened by Liu Xiu, and she leaned back involuntarily, as if she was about to fall from the courtyard wall. Liu Xiu had quick hands and eyes, reached down his arm, and just grabbed her by the collar of her back, like he was lifting a chicken.
, pulled her up the wall and asked her to sit next to him.
