Twin Brocade

Chapter 218
As for money, this wooden table is worth at most a dime, and Quan Moxian gave a full ingot of silver.A cup of strong tea, two bowls of wontons, and a wooden table are far from worth the ingot.

The carriage stopped slowly at the entrance of Quan's house, and the servants at the door greeted him.

First, he and Quan Moxian helped Peng Changsheng out, then saw an old beggar get off the carriage.Immediately afterwards, the coachman got down from the carriage with a small wooden table, and stared at the door dumbfounded.

Quan Moxian ignored his gaze, motioned for him to take over the wooden table, supported Peng Changsheng by himself, followed by Steward Liu, and the group walked in.

"Can mother and elder sister rest?" Quan Moxian asked him.

Menzi replied respectfully: "Let's take a break. Knowing that the young master and Peng Juren were out drinking, the eldest lady ordered the kitchen to keep the stove and warm the sober soup."

Quan Moxian nodded and said, "Let the people in the kitchen boil a bucket of hot water and give Butler Liu a good bath."

"Butler Liu?" Menzi was taken aback.This house was provided by Marquis Cheng En for Quan Moxian to live in, and the servants were allocated from Marquis Cheng En's mansion, so there is no housekeeper there.

There are only a few people here. Could it be that he is referring to this old beggar?
Steward Liu raised his head and gave him a sideways glance, and said, "What are you looking at, it's me!" You're joking, even if you're down and out, it's not something a mere servant can question.

There was a coldness in his eyes, and the door trembled all over, cursing himself for having poor eyesight.What kind of old beggar is this, he is obviously an old killer!Where did the young master go, why did he bring such a person back and directly appoint him as the housekeeper?

Quan Moxian glanced at the two of them, but didn't say much.With Steward Liu's ability, it's not his turn to intervene to subdue a mere sect.

"In the kitchen, what else is there to eat?"

Menzi said: "My lord, wait a moment, I'll go and have a look."

Following Quan Moxian's return, the servants got up one after another.Peng Changsheng came and went frequently at Quan's house, so he helped him to the guest room, and poured him another bowl of hangover soup before resting.

Quan Lu was awakened by the noise, and stood at the door with her clothes on, and asked sleepily, "Did you just come back? Mr. Peng is drunk again?"

"Yes." Quan Moxian replied: "It's settled down, eldest sister, go to sleep quickly, don't catch a cold." After Quan Lu returned to the room, he went to the study, turned on the oil lamp and started reading.

The people in the kitchen brought hot water, butler Liu took a quick shower, put on a set of clothes that Quan Moxian had prepared for him, and went to the study.

"Come and sit down." Quan Moxian said with a smile: "In the afternoon, eight-treasure porridge was cooked in the kitchen. I let someone heat it up. If you don't mind it, drink some more."

People who practice martial arts have a big appetite, so the bowl of wontons he ate just now can only be said to have slightly filled his stomach.But people who have been hungry for too long can’t eat too much at one time, let alone meaty and greasy things. This kind of eight-treasure porridge is the best for warming the stomach and nourishing the body.

Knowing his kindness, he was no longer polite, cupped his hands and said: "Then I will not be polite."

After changing into clean clothes and eating this bowl of hot porridge, Butler Liu felt that he was alive.Thinking of the desolation in the dark alley before, now it is like being in heaven.I feel more and more that I have made an extremely correct decision.

Walking in the rivers and lakes, he has encountered more difficult situations than before.But in that dark alley, the despair of being betrayed even gave him the will to die.

After bathing, he tied his gray hair into a bun on top and fixed it with a wooden hairpin.The clothes on his body looked a bit baggy, but his whole person had taken on a new look, and he was no longer downcast and old.

"Steward Liu, are you Geng this year?" Quan Moxian put a cup of tea in front of him and asked with a smile.

"Just over forty." He stretched out four fingers and said with a chuckle, "I can't help it, I'm born old."

"Tomorrow, I will go back to the academy to study, so I will leave it to you at home." Quan Moxian said solemnly, "Before I leave, I will explain clearly to my mother. The keys to the account books of the outer courtyard are all with you."

Butler Liu was a little embarrassed, and said, "I've never been the butler of Lao Shizi, if something goes wrong, you can't blame me."

Quan Moxian smiled and said: "How many people are there in our family? Your old man has at least one hundred and ten people under his command?" This is a question, but his tone is extremely firm.

"You can tell that, it really is a little fox." Liu Guanjia said: "I took precautions, but I didn't expect to be fooled by you."

"You love me." A faint smile floated on Quan Moxian's lips, and said, "It's almost two o'clock, I'm going to bed, and I have to get up early. There are several vacant houses in the outer courtyard, you choose one That is, make up your own mind."

"Don't worry. Those of us who lick blood with knife edge can take root wherever we go."

Watching Quan Moxian leave, Steward Liu's expression became more and more serious.

He didn't ask his origin and name, let alone why he assassinated Mr. Liu that night, so he entrusted his family members to him trustingly.Such unreserved trust made him feel the pressure of heavy responsibility.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect the Quan family." He would not swear, but secretly made up his mind.

The next day, the capital returned to its former peace and bustle.

After the new year, people are full of energy and fighting for new hope.The merchant ships on the Luoshui Wharf kept coming and going, and all the schools started classes one after another, and Xiuwenfang School was no exception.

Fang Jinshu took out the textbooks and stationery from the bookcase one by one, put them on the table, and made preparations before class.

Qiao Tongxuan came over suddenly with red eyes, and said, "Sister Shu, let's go to another place for lunch, I have something to tell you." Her face was a little haggard, and her bright eyes gleamed with water.

"Okay." Fang Jinshu responded quickly, and said softly, "No matter what happens, don't be nervous, we'll talk slowly later."

Qiao Tongxuan sniffed and said "hmm" before returning to her seat.

Looking at her distraught back, Fang Jinshu felt uncomfortable.Qiao Tongxuan, who was always in high spirits, suddenly became sad, and no one could bear to see her.

She frowned and pondered, could it be that Mrs. Qiao's health is failing?

Most likely.

According to Qiao Tongxuan's carefree temperament, if it wasn't for such a big event, she wouldn't be so sad.

Before going to Jingyi Nunnery, he told his father about going to the south of the Yangtze River to find a famous doctor.Although Miracle Doctor Su was successfully found, it is a pity that he did not come to the capital smoothly, and he will not arrive until a year later.

In her previous life, she had never seen Miracle Doctor Su.The confidence in him all comes from the son he taught by himself - Su Xiao's genius doctor Su Liangzhi.

Now that the new year has passed, I have to ask my father again, and write to ask Miracle Physician Su to come to Beijing.I hope he arrives in time, and I hope Mrs. Joe is still in good health.

With the diagnosis and treatment of Dr. Su, there is always a little more hope.Even if it can only prolong Mrs. Qiao's life for a year or two, it's good. The two brothers and sisters of the Qiao family are still young. Without the protection of their mother, they lost half of the sky.

　Thanks to "Linda Xiaozhou" for the reward of 1000 starting coins, okay ^_^
