Chapter 19 Poor, Poor
Liu'er was amazed for a while, and her tone was full of admiration: "The officials are so majestic!"

"Ah."

She withdrew her gaze and downcast her cup of tea.

"If my elder brother is also on this horse, it would be great to come back to the city." Liu Er's brows and eyes were gloomy, and her tone was much sadder.

"I haven't seen my brother for many years, and he couldn't come back after his father and mother passed away."

Liu'er has an older brother, and she has never heard of it.

Thinking about it, I find it funny, how can I tell others about my private affairs at will.

Hearing Liu'er mention his elder brother, Xiao Yu also thought of his elder brother, his elder brother is a talented general, if he is still alive, he will definitely be no worse than his father.

She asked, "Liu'er, what did your brother do when he left home?"

The girl never cared about other people's private affairs, it was the first time she was so active today, Liu'er just sighed to herself, she never thought that the girl would agree to her.

She was a little flattered, and replied softly with four words: "The war has gone."

I dare not reply any more, the girl doesn't like to make noise, I'm afraid she will get bored.

"fight?"

Xiao Yu was puzzled, the world is relatively stable now, but no one heard of any battles to be fought.

"How long have you been there?"

Liu Er: "It's been six years."

"Six years..."

After entering the military camp, this life is no longer his own, and it is hard to repay the kindness of his parents.

Xiao Yu sighed, and then asked again: "Did you send a letter?"

"some."

Soldiers in the army have the opportunity to write letters to their homes every month, telling their family members that they are still safe, but there are regulations not to disclose important matters related to military aircraft.

"My brother said in the letter that he has been promoted to captain and is now guarding the city of Vernon." Speaking of this, Liu'er showed joy: "The letter also mentioned that my brother got married and gave birth to a boy, a two-year-old boy. Half, already know how to hold a gun."

Xiao Yu was happy for her.

"very nice."

Her elder brother also became a relative and had a child. If the child was still alive, he would be eight years old this year.

Yun'er died of illness, and her sister-in-law also got a serious illness in grief, and died on the way to exile.

The woman said that the world is materialistic, and there are no ghosts and gods. When a person dies, he is dead. When a person dies, his soul dies, and there is no trace in this world.

How could there be no trace?She disagreed, but in her heart, the appearance of her family was deeply imprinted, and she would never forget it.

"Liuer."

Liu'er looked up, seeing the girl's serious expression, she became worried again.

But I heard her say: "I can redeem you, you go to Verde to reunite with your brother."

"girl……"

Liu'er was panicked, the girl was really abnormal today, she was going to give her something just now, but now she mentioned her brother, the girl's eyes turned red, and she even said that she wanted to redeem her body.

Could something have happened?
I have to think of a way to persuade the girl to go back. If something really happened, how can I explain it to the young master.

Before Liu'er could refuse, Xiao Yu had already returned to normal, and his emotions made him inappropriate to say that. Brother Liu'er is now a captain, so it would not be easy to redeem her body, presumably Liu'er didn't want to leave.

What's more, she only had ten taels of silver, and after drinking some tea, it was less than ten taels.

Poor, poor.

Touching the slightly "shy" purse, my heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly remembered the purpose of going out today.

"Liu'er, to be honest, I have something to ask, senior brother is very busy, I only know you well in this mansion."

"..."

Liu Er shook her hand holding the teacup, splashing a few drops onto the table.

"If you have something to do, you can just tell your slaves, how can you use the word 'seek', it really hurts your slaves."

It turned out that the girl's abnormal and weird behavior was to find her trouble.

This girl looks lonely and cold, but she is very cute, her face is indifferent, but she is actually a sweetheart.

She is a servant girl who serves her master, and if there is any need, you can directly order her, but the girl treats her with courtesy, and makes so many preparations, which is awkward and funny.

No wonder the son is so caring and kind to the girl.

If she is a man, she must be a woman like Miss Xinyue.

"What does the girl want the servant to do?"

Xiao Yu relaxed and put one hand on the table, it was really hard to speak, so he had to speak.

"In this city of Jinzhou, you can get on the stage," she pursed her lips, "and, what's cheap, what's there?"

Liu'er was simple, so naturally she would not think that she was too shy, so she replied truthfully: "There is something that I can't remember, but there is a dark alley at the end of the west street of the city, and mysterious vendors appear occasionally, and I heard that the things they sell are very expensive Rare, we can try our luck there."

dark alley.

Going out in a hurry, without taking a carriage, it took two quarters of an hour to walk to Chengxi Street. There are several dark alleys at the end of the street, and there is no difference with the naked eye.

"girl."

Liu'er whispered: "Remember, after entering, don't reveal your identity."

As he spoke, he handed her a face scarf, motioning for her to cover her face, Xiao Yu took it and tied it behind her ears, revealing only a pair of clear eyes.

Liu'er also tied it up, and led her to the second alley on the right, where faint voices could be heard.

Liu'er showed joy: "That's right, it's here."

"Girl, let's go in."

"Ah."

Today she went out without her senior brother as her companion, so she brought Xiaoyao out, the entrance of the dark alley was cramped, only one person could pass through, Xiaoyao was leaning behind her, inevitably bumping against the wall.

She untied the sword pouch and went into the alley with the sword in hand.

After walking dozens of steps in, the field of vision gradually widened, allowing two or three people to pass through, and after walking dozens of steps, it was barely possible to see people.

It was clearly daytime, but the alley was dimly lit.

There were about a dozen stalls in sight, and each stall was four or five steps apart. The vendors squatted on the stalls, with the brims of their hats pressed down extremely low, and the customers also made disguises.

A lantern is placed next to the booth so that customers can see the products clearly.

Some customers have picked out satisfactory items and are bargaining with vendors.

When Xiao Yu passed by, he glanced sideways, and the counter-offer was a piece of porcelain, shallow mouth, sky blue color, simple in appearance, but exquisite in workmanship, it was not comparable to the best porcelain vases in the palace, but it was not more than the price that the merchants were hawking.

Dozens of taels taller, it's okay.

The customer is dissatisfied with the price offered by the vendor and wants to pay a lower price.

When he was talking, he realized that someone was looking at him, and the customer lowered his head even more, as if he was afraid of being recognized.

Everyone who comes here does not want to be recognized by others, both vendors and customers.

It's nothing more than that the origin of the things here is unknown, the vendors just take money for the goods, and the customers give the money to take the things away.

Even if the government finds out, nothing can be found out.

She retracted her gaze and walked to another booth. There were customers in all the booths, but this one was deserted.

The fire in the lantern was extinguished, and the boss was looking for a book on the fire, and while he was soliciting, he was afraid that the long-awaited guests would run away.

"Guest, just take a look."
