The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 478 The future is long
The blood-stained man knelt on the ground, raised his head, his eyes were full of bloodshot and tears, and said in a sad and angry tone: "Master, we have fallen into a trap! Wang Ping and his men fought desperately to open a way for me to survive, so I was able to escape and report to you.

Just like last time, the box that my subordinates opened contained gold, silver and jewelry, and the rest were all stones. The people escorting the car were all government officials in disguise, except for the two guards of that bitch. A large group of officials followed behind and suddenly rushed out. We couldn't even retreat...

That bitch... I wish I could grind her to dust! Please give me the order to bring her head back to offer as a sacrifice to the souls of my brothers in heaven!"

"Heh." The young man sitting in front of the round table had a changing expression. After a moment, a laugh was heard spilling out from between his teeth.

That smile seemed to be filled with sadness, sarcasm, anger, and appreciation. It was what is called laughing out of anger.

"What a good trick to lead someone into a trap."

"Take her head? After several fights, how many of us have been killed by her? Did she hurt a hair on her body?"

The man was startled, then gritted his teeth angrily, "Then kill everyone she cares about first! Let her also have a taste of this kind of despair and grief!"

The young man closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes again, his eyes were determined, "Forget it! We have important things to do, we shouldn't waste time dealing with her any more. Sooner or later, this hatred will be repaid a hundredfold or a thousandfold! We have a long way to go!"

—

Liu Dongjia was extremely quick in his work. Shi Liu only had to go back to Xiahe Village before coming to the city, and he met Geng Zhong, the head of the Zhenwei Escort Agency, and a dozen escorts.

Geng Zhong is a man in his thirties, with a strong build and a full beard. His features are rough yet handsome. Upon closer inspection, if you take away the beard, he is still a handsome man.

But with such a full beard, Shi Liu thought he saw Cheng Yaojin at first glance. Of course, it was the image of Cheng Yaojin in a game that he had played in his previous life, almost exactly the same.

"Captain Geng, thank you for your help!"

Geng Zhong also spoke straightforwardly, "I took money from others and helped them get rid of their misfortunes. Since Miss Li has hired our Zhenwei Escort Agency, please rest assured that we will never let Miss Li get hurt!"

"Master Liu has told Miss Li, right? The escort period for this trip is half a year. After half a year, we will decide whether to extend the escort period."

Shi Liu nodded and said, "I'll leave it to Escort Master Geng and the other escorts for the next six months."

"Okay, okay! Then let's set it up right away. If Miss Li needs to go out in the future, please let me know in advance so I can make arrangements."

Geng Zhong acted efficiently and after greeting Shi Liu, he immediately arranged for a dozen of his bodyguards to come.

All three courtyards in Lihua Hutong were taken over by them. The house was big and the staff was few, so they protected the courtyard where Shi Liu lived very tightly, making sure that not even a fly could fly in.

Shi Liu made an appointment with Liu Xi to have tea at Qingfeng Teahouse today, and she told Geng Zhong about it first. When they went out, the carriage was closely guarded by bodyguards from all sides. It was a scene like the travel of an important person.

Sitting in the carriage, Pomegranate felt a little embarrassed.

But it wasn't just Liu Dongjia who was worried about her safety, she herself was also worried. When she went home two days ago, in addition to Ke Hu and the others who followed her, Liu Dongjia also specially sent a team of Liu's guards to escort her.

Compared to your life, the bigger the scene, the better.

After all, it was impossible for her to never go out again just to avoid assassination.

When they arrived at Qingfeng Teahouse, Shi Liu got off the carriage and went into the teahouse with Jinhua Sui Lu and Zuo Cheng. Geng Zhong followed immediately, and four of the bodyguards followed, while the rest were scattered inside and outside the teahouse, always on guard against unusual movements.

It's not that they are making a fuss out of nothing, but the reputation of Zhenwei Escort Agency is there. Once they receive a task, they will never be perfunctory. Zhenwei Escort Agency does not allow the slightest mistake. Since the employer wants to hire them for protection, it is naturally because they feel that there is danger and needs protection. Although they don't know the details, it is always right for them to act meticulously.

"Shi Liu! Come quickly, I ordered your favorite conch drink!" In the private room, Liu Xi smiled and waved when he saw Shi Liu come in.

"Sister Xi!" Shi Liu smiled unconsciously and sat opposite Liu Xi. "Is the ceremony at Ningtai Temple lively?"

"It's lively! Why don't you come with me next time? I tell you, Master Xuanfa's lectures are very good. After listening to them, I just feel very peaceful both physically and mentally!"

Liu Xi went to Ningtai Temple in Xiantai Town a few days ago and just came back yesterday.

This dynasty advocates Buddhism and everyone in the world believes in Buddhism. On the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, there will be believers burning incense and worshiping Buddha in major temples. Even if it is not the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, there will still be people visiting the temples.

Xiahe Village is close to the Dabao Temple on Qingshan Mountain. Shi Liu has been there often with her family. In addition to the Dabao Temple, they have also visited other local temples over the years. However, Shi Liu has never been to the Ningtai Temple in Xiantai Town.

I only heard that Ningtai Temple is a large temple that has existed since the previous dynasty. The son of Princess Shujing of the previous dynasty became a monk in this Ningtai Temple after he saw through the world, which made the Ningtai Temple even more famous.

A hundred years have passed, and the Ningtai Temple is still popular, even more so than in the previous dynasty, because Master Xuanfa is proficient in Buddhism and is an enlightened monk. Shi Liu also wanted to have a chance to go to the Ningtai Temple to listen to Master Xuanfa's lectures, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, next time we have a chance, let's go together. How about it, after listening to this sutra, your annoyance will be gone."

Liu Xi took the teacup and took a sip. The worry on his brow that he had seen in the same place a few days ago was no longer visible. "As the Buddhists say: Gains and losses are determined by fate, and the heart should not increase or decrease. All desires bring suffering, and no desires bring happiness. I've figured it out!"

She smiled, and the rare sunshine outside the window became brighter.

"Can I really not get married? As a daughter of the Liu family, I have enjoyed everything the family has given me, so there is no reason for me to bring disgrace to the family."

She is not a troublemaker like Liu Hui.

"Besides, my brother has already found out everything for me. The third son of the second branch of the Cheng family in the great clan mansion is handsome, and has passed the examination for a student at a young age. He is working hard to prepare for the examination for a scholar. He has no bad habits, and he doesn't even have a maid in his room. This way, it doesn't count as an insult to me."

For example, my eldest and second sisters, which of their husbands didn't already have a concubine before they got married?
Including my third sister, even if she is the eldest daughter of my third uncle, wouldn’t my third brother-in-law still take a concubine?
Being together for a lifetime is just a luxury in her dream. Everything that happens when she wakes up from the dream is real.

Shi Liu admired Liu Xi's inner resistance. After all, for a woman of this era, to have the courage to disagree with such an arranged marriage arranged by parents and matchmakers was already superior to others.

However, this is the way the world is, and how many people can resist it?

And those women who have the courage to resist and escape from home may not necessarily be happy.

Fortunately, Liu Xi's parents also love their daughter. Even if the family they arranged for her was a business marriage, they tried their best to choose a good person for her.

She also asked people to inquire about the Cheng family of the Dazong Mansion, and it was indeed as Liu Xi said, the third son of Cheng was quite good.

Shi Liu had been listening quietly to Liu Xi's talk without saying anything before. But when he saw the relaxation between her brows, he thought that she had really figured it out, and he couldn't help but feel relieved for her.

"Sister Xi, I think life is lived by people. From what you said, Mr. Cheng is a very good man. Sister Xi, you have both good looks and talent. You may be able to live in harmony with Mr. Cheng in the future.

It is normal for men in this world to have three wives and four concubines, but there are many men who do not take concubines! Like Uncle Liu, he does not take concubines, right? He and Aunt Liang are so loving.

And Master Wang San, whom you also know, he also didn’t take a concubine, and my adoptive father…

By the way, there is also Mr. Zheng from the south of the city. They all say that he looks romantic and doesn’t look like a good person, but how good is he to his wife? His wife is in poor health and can’t have children, so he adopted a daughter from his brother’s family and refused to take a concubine. In order to take care of his wife’s health, he ordered medicinal food from my medicinal food restaurant year after year, rain or shine, and came to pick up the medicinal food himself every day!
So, this day hasn’t even passed yet, who knows what will happen in the future?

If you ask me, just live well if you can, but if you can't, just stick to your original intention, don't complain, don't be sad, don't be depressed, life is only a few short decades, it is more important to eat well, sleep well, live a long and healthy life!"

Liu Xi was stunned and thought about something for a moment.

After a moment, she looked at Shi Liu and laughed, "I almost thought you had also heard Master Xuanfa's lectures. How could you speak so eloquently? But you are right. I have made a note of it! You are so young, but you can see things so clearly."

He teased Shi Liu again, "I can't say for others, but in my opinion, your fiancé is a very good man. He will definitely be like my third uncle in the future!"

Although my third uncle is a very powerful person in the outside world, he has always loved my third aunt as much as ever. Even now, he always remembers to give my third aunt various gifts when he comes back from a trip. They are all bought by my third uncle with great care.

You can tell from the way Uncle San looks at Aunt San.

So, when she was drinking tea with Shi Liu in the teahouse that day, she happened to meet Shi Liu's fiancé Fan Jin. She realized that the way Fan Jin looked at Shi Liu was exactly the same as the way her third uncle looked at his third aunt!

Shi Liu couldn't help but blush when she teased him with a smile on her face. It wasn't because she was shy, but rather a little embarrassed.

She wanted to change the subject and was about to say something when a commotion broke out in the street below.

"What happened?" Pomegranate looked around curiously.

Liu Xi's maid Hanying walked to the window to look.

"Miss, it seems that Doctor Wang is leaving. Many people have come to Xingsheng Pharmacy to bid farewell to Doctor Wang."

"Really? Doctor Wang is leaving now?" Upon hearing this, Liu Xi stood up excitedly and went to the window.

Seeing this, Pomegranate followed.

There was a sea of ​​people below, surrounding the Xingsheng Pharmacy across the street in three layers.

On the steps in front of Xingsheng Pharmacy, a thin young man like a bamboo was so moved by the enthusiastic farewell of the crowd that he didn't know what to do.
