Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Xiao Zhuzi nodded in a very humane way.

In fact, everyone in the Liu family treated Xiao Zhuzi as a human being.

Even, Xiaozhuzi has to be given some pocket money every month.

No one on the island is afraid of him anymore, knowing that Xiao Zhuzi is not much different from the young master of the Liu family.

Some courageous ones will take the initiative to do business with Xiao Zhuzi.

Buy a few catties of beef today, and a few catties of mutton tomorrow, and sometimes you can even see Xiao Zhuzi returning home with two bottles of wine hanging around his neck.

Li Chengqian rubbed the small pillar's head vigorously a few more times, and traced the huge character '王' on the top of the small pillar's head with his fingers.

With a thought in his heart, he suddenly turned over and rode on the back of the small pillar.

"go!"

Xiao Zhuzi understood, turned around sharply and rushed forward, and immediately rushed out several feet.Li Chengqian shouted excitedly, he finally got over his addiction to riding a tiger.

The two Jinwu guards followed behind and ran desperately, but how could the two-legged one run faster than the four-legged one?

In fact, even if they regained eighty legs, it would probably be fast enough to chase Xiao Zhuzhu.

Fortunately, Liu's house is not far from here.

Xiao Zhuzi didn't go through the door when he came to the door, but paused for a moment, and jumped onto the wall with a light jump.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared behind the wall.

There was a flutter of chaos in the yard, and I didn't know what was crashed, and soon calmed down again.

The two Jinwu guards stood at the gate of Liu's house, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

In desperation, the two stepped forward and knocked on the door.

All the old people in Chang'an City know that normal people should not knock on the door of Liu's house casually!

Because, in every big house of the Liu family, there is a wicked concierge with a dark heart.

When the emperor came to knock on the door, he had to pay the door fee first

It seems that all the concierges of the Liu family are named Wu, so they must be a family!

The two Jinwu guards who were recruited by the porter as poor ghosts finally walked into Liu's house.

They were taken directly to a small house in the west.

From this moment on, they are no longer the Jinwu Guards, and will become the guardians of the Liu family in the future

Chapter 1602 These days, it's actually popular to give away old men?

It is different from the familiar feeling outside.

Li Chengqian, who entered Liu's house, felt that everything around him was quite strange.

It is very different from the old houses in Jingyang County, the big houses in Daoxingfang in Chang'an City, and even the new houses in the North New District of Chang'an City.

What surprised Li Chengqian the most was that the area here is very small.

It's not even half of the new house in Chengbei New District.

Although the elements inside, including the wintersweet tree in the middle of the yard, are very similar to the old houses in Jingyang County, Li Chengqian still feels very strange.

The strange environment, the strange people, especially the servants standing in the yard, he didn't even know any of them.

Logically speaking, didn't Liu Bai bring many servants from the old house in Jingyang County?

Seeing Li Chengqian riding on the back of the little rabbit, the servants around him didn't feel the slightest surprise, they did what they should do.

The person who was pruning the branches on the wintersweet tree didn't even look at it.

Li Chengqian felt a little embarrassed, he patted Xiaozhuzi's head lightly and said, "Take me to see Big Brother Liu."

To Li Chengqian's surprise, Xiao Zhuzi groaned and shook his head.

At this time, an old man with a smile on his face slowly stepped forward.

The old man was tall, with a square face, and his face was slightly dark.

It can be seen that he is a very capable person.

Although he was also wearing coarse clothes, it was obvious that his identity was unusual.

Seeing the old man approaching, Li Chengqian jumped off the back of the small pillar.

The old man smiled, brushed off his sleeves, and immediately bowed his hands in disrespect.

"See Your Royal Highness!"

Li Chengqian asked with some doubts: "Old man knows me?"

The old man chuckled and said, "There are not many people on the island who don't know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian looked left and right, then bowed his hands to the old man.

"I don't know what my husband is"

"This old man is the chief steward of the Liu Mansion, please take care of His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Li Chengqian looked the old man up and down in amazement.

The Liu family actually has a butler!

Weren't the two wives used to be housekeepers?

The old man didn't have any other thoughts, he seemed to be very familiar with Li Chengqian.

"Dare to ask the prince, can we have dinner?"

Just at this time, Li Chengqian's stomach groaned a few times.

Li Chengqian blushed.

The old man chuckled and said, "Come here, hurry up and prepare meals for His Highness the Crown Prince!"

After finishing speaking, he led Li Chengqian to the back.

After passing through the moon gate and coming to the backyard, Li Chengqian felt more and more strange.

The area of ​​the backyard is larger than the front yard, but apart from the familiar blacksmith's stove, there is no other furnishings, which bears the slightest resemblance to the houses in Chang'an City.

The first thing he saw was a huge rain shed, and under the shed was a huge sand table with a radius of more than thirty feet.

Li Chengqian could tell at a glance that the sand table was exactly what Dongzhou Island looked like, probably because the construction of Dongzhou Island had not been completed yet, so it was still somewhat different from the sand table.Pass by the sand table all the way to the dining room.

It looks like the meal has already been prepared.The old man stood behind Li Chengqian and waited on him, handing over a pair of chopsticks for a while, and a handkerchief for a while.

Li Chengqian did not rush to ask Liu Bai's whereabouts.

I haven't seen Li Bai for nearly a year, and he has forgotten the fear of being dominated by Liu Bai. It was not until he was played by Liu Bai a few times after going to the island that he finally recalled that feeling back then.

Although this kind of play is a way of expressing intimacy, the person being played always feels uncomfortable.

He needs to be on his toes all the time to avoid being played again.

If it wasn't for someone nearby, he would even have taken out a silver needle to test whether there was any poison in the dish.

Liu Bai would never do such a thing as poisoning food, but one must not forget that there are still a large group of unscrupulous people on the island.

It is definitely not possible to poison yourself to death, but if you are not sure, you will go to the toilet a few more times, and you will be dizzy for a few days.

After eating, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then asked, "May I ask the old man's name?"

The old man stood up, bowed slightly, and said: "The original name has long been forgotten, the young master named the old man Liu Da, and His Highness the Crown Prince will directly call the old man by his name in the future!"

"Then before you"

You used to be more skeptical about the origin of the old man.

It's not that he suspects that he has some evil intentions, but because some strange people seem to come out of the Liu family often.

For example, his good brother Xue Li.

For example, Jin Dajian, the master craftsman of the Liu family, or Shen Wansan and others

One by one, like grandchildren monkeys, they jumped out of the cracks in the stones.

In this world, what Li Chengqian admires the most is his father and Liu Bai.

In the pockets of these two people, it seems that there are endless talents hidden in their pockets, which are inexhaustible and inexhaustible. As long as there is a need, they will definitely be able to take out a few at will.

Seemingly seeing what Li Chengqian was thinking, the old man explained: "I wonder if His Royal Highness has heard of the Jiangnan Zhang Family?"

Li Chengqian pondered for a while, and said: "I have a vague impression, is the owner called Zhang Yong? It seems that he helped brother Liu a lot when we eradicated the Jiangnan Chinese."

The old man nodded, and said in a rather helpless tone: "The old man used to be the housekeeper of the Zhang family, and he was given to our young master as a gift a few days ago."

Li Chengqian's expression became a little weird.

Others gave gifts, either some gold and silver treasures, or beautiful girls.

These days, it's actually popular to give away the old man?

The old man sighed and said: "I think about it, Master Zhang is also thinking about the future of the old man. Only after entering the Liu family will he know how terrifying the Liu family is. You don't know. Since you became the housekeeper of the Liu family, the status of the old man has not been promoted. It was faster than the rebellion, even Lord Zheng was very polite to the old man, and even called him uncle when he met him, it's really "

Seeing the old man dumbfounded, Li Chengqian laughed out loud.

Only then did he understand the reason.

This old man must have something extraordinary, that's why Liu Baiming secretly forced Zhang Yong to give it to him.

Brother Liu has this kind of bad habit. He doesn't like other people's homes to have good things. If he wants them, he will definitely grab them.

Then Li Chengqian entered the topic.

"Where did Brother Liu go? It's already afternoon, why is there no sign of him? As far as I know, at this hour, isn't Brother Liu usually taking a nap at home?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said, "Didn't the young master tell you?"

Li Chengqian was also taken aback.

"say what?"

"The young master set off for Yuezhou a few days ago, counting the time, it is almost at the border of Jinling."

Li Chengqian stood up with a 'crash', and exclaimed: "What did you say?"

The old man also came to his senses, looked at Li Chengqian with some pity, and said: "However, the young master has arranged a lot of work for you, and I'm afraid someone will come to you soon."

Chapter 1603 A group of dead people

After all, Liu Bai was pitted

Li Chengqian left the dining room without saying a word.

He knew that for some time in the future, at least before Liu Bai came back, it was unlikely that he would leave the gate of Liu's house.

He, who once held an important position in the Liu family, knows how complicated the business of the Liu family is.

It is no exaggeration to say that after entrusting Liu Bai with these tasks to him, he will be busier than when he was the prince of Jian Guo!

run?

He never thought about it!

This is not the same as the palace.

It doesn't mean that you can leave just by finding a horse and riding it.

He knew it when he came.

Not only on Dongzhou Island, but also in Suzhou City, I don't know how many people know him.

Wherever you go, you will be caught

Li Chengqian left the dining room with a sigh and came to the front yard.

Seeing the little pillar lying on the ground basking in the sun, I felt a little happier.

Anyway, there is a small pillar to accompany me.

Jinling!

For people outside of Jiangnan Road, this place name is extremely unfamiliar.
