Chapter 3085 Yunxia Villa
The carriage walked some distance further and stopped in front of a small manor. The manor was not very big, but it could be seen that someone was taking care of it. The road has been cleaned up, and there are no weeds on the walls of the manor. At the gate of the manor, there are two stone lions. On the gate of the manor, there is a sign with the words Yunxia Village written on it.
This Yunxia Village is the villa of the Liu family. Few people come here usually. That is, every year in midsummer, the Liu family will come here to stay for a few days to escape the summer heat. Of course, they will also come in autumn. , in order to go hunting on Juyun Mountain.
At this time, people from the Liu family usually don’t come here. Although the Juyun Mountain is a famous scene in the soul world, it will become annoying if you see it too much. Yes, few people living in Juyun City will come to Juyun Mountain at this time, because they all know that there are many people in Juyun Mountain at this time.
The carriage stopped, and Lao Menzi led Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er out of the car. At this time, Men Qing had already stepped forward to knock on the door.
Just as Men Qing patted the door a few times, the door opened. An old man who looked to be in his fifties was looking out from the door. As soon as the old man saw the old door, he quickly opened the door and bowed to the old door. Shen said: "I have met the door manager."
The old doorman looked at the old man, smiled slightly and said: "Wooden , You old guy is getting more and more leisurely. Why didn’t you go out today and instead hid at home?”
The old man who opened the door is called Liu Sen, and he is the manager of the manor. Of course, he is The steward cannot be compared with the old disciple. How can he, the steward of a leisurely manor, be compared with the old disciple.
But Liu Sen has done a good job. He has been here in the manor for a long time and has always taken good care of the manor. He usually goes to the fields to plant some land, and he lives a comfortable life. It was leisurely and comfortable, and his old disciple even envied him a little, and his old disciple also thought about it. He would work as an outside manager for a few years, and then find a manor like this and become a general manager who doesn't care about anything, even if it is for retirement. .
The Liu family is a big family, and there are many manors like this, not just here in Juyun City, but also in other places, even in Green City, so I want to be the general manager of such a manor. It's not that difficult.
Liu Sen looked at the old doorman and said with a smile: "The doorkeeper is joking. There are so many outsiders here in Juyun Mountain these days. I don't want to cause trouble if I go out, so I can only hide at home every day."
Hearing what Liu Sen said, the old disciple couldn’t help but be startled, and then His face darkened and he said: "What, Old Liu, are there any outsiders who dare to cause trouble for our Liu family?" Although the old man wants to retire now, he has worked in the Liu family all his life and has long regarded the Liu family as his own. Now when he heard what Liu Sen said, he was naturally unhappy.
Liu Sen said quickly: "No, no, you have misunderstood, Mr. Gate. In fact, Mr. Gate, you don't live under Juyun Mountain. You don't know that there are not many people who come to Juyun Mountain all year round." , but every year at this time, a large number of people will come to Juyun Mountain. Among these people, there is a mix of dragons and snakes, everyone is there, and some are reasonable. Fortunately, whether I want to stay here or buy some food, I will be polite to you. However, some people are unreasonable. For fear of trouble, at this time, under normal circumstances, I will hide. If you don’t go out in the manor, even if you have someone staying for the night, you will be sent away. After all, there are many places for people to live here.”
After hearing this, Liu said. When Sen said this, the old man nodded and said in a deep voice: "As long as no one makes trouble, okay, Old Liu, my god-grandson and god-granddaughter are here today. I will take them to see Shan Ju Fengyun." The scenery, just stay here for one night. Please arrange a few houses for us. Don’t touch the main house. It seems that the young master in the family wants to come here on a whim. If there is no house to live in, then But it’s troublesome. Just give me a place in the outer courtyard.”
Liu Sen nodded and said, “Okay, there are many rooms in the outer courtyard, and I will clean them every day. Please ask the door manager. "Brother, please drive the carriage to the backyard. There is a yard dedicated to storing carriages." Men Qing responded and drove the carriage away.
The old man led Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er into the yard with Liu Sen. The yard was very simple. The front yard was like a courtyard, except that in the main room there was a hall, which could be accessed from Go directly to the backyard from there, and the backyard is the main family room, where the Liu family lives every time they come to the manor, and the outer courtyard is where the servants live.
Although this outer courtyard is where the servants live, the place here is also very large, and the rooms here are quite good. Liu Sen led the old disciple and the others to a room in the outer garden, stretched out his hand to push He opened the door and said: "General manager, how about you and your children live in this room."
The old man went to this room. Taking a look inside the room, he nodded with satisfaction. Although this room is not big, there is a small living room right after entering the room. Although it is called a living room, it cannot be regarded as a living room. It is just a small Eight Immortals table placed in the room. That's it. Inside is the pavilion. Big Kang, because this place is at the foot of the mountain and the mountain wind is very strong, so the mountain people will habitually live in the heated Kang to keep warm and comfortable.
Actually, this room is for low-level servants and is not suitable for the old man’s status. However, the old man is very satisfied and even thinks that this room is very suitable because in the better room, there are more They were all beds. Not only was the room cold, but the bed was too small for him to live with Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er. Of course he didn't like it.
The old man turned around and patted Liu Sen on the shoulder and said: "What a piece of wood, you have it. No wonder you are in charge of the position of manager of this manor. You, this old guy, have been in this position for so many years, and you have some skills, by the way." , where is your son? Why didn’t you see him? Isn’t your family living here?”
The steward of a manor is different from other stewards. Anyone who works as a steward in a manor will have his or her family live in that manor, and the family will generally not send other people to that manor, and the entire manor will belong to the manor. They take care of it as a family. If they take care of it well, they will be rewarded at the end of the year.
Liu Sen has two sons and one daughter. His daughter has already been married and naturally will not live in the manor. However, his two sons live with him in the manor. , when the Liu family is not here, this manor is just like their family, and they live a leisurely life.
When Liu Sen heard what the old disciple said, he quickly said: "The eldest son ran into the fields and should be back soon. The second son is feeding the horses in the backyard. As you know, he lives in this manor. , It’s impossible without a horse. It’s too inconvenient to sell something.”
The old man nodded and said, “Okay, let your daughter-in-law cook two more dishes and have two drinks with me in the evening. ”
Liu Sen He smiled and said, "Yes, the gatekeeper. I wonder what the gatekeeper would like to eat?" The old gatekeeper looked at Liu Sen and said with a smile, "Mumu, are you serious? You've been calling me gatekeeper for so long. I have endured it, now You still call me that, do you mean it? Why don't you change it quickly? Just call me Brother Men as before. My grandchildren are here. It's up to you to do whatever you want. Yu'er, Bao'er, call me Grandpa Liu. ”
Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er immediately saluted Liu Sen and said, "Hello, Grandpa Liu."
Liu Sen saw the sensible looks of the two little guys and said quickly: "Okay, Okay, so good "You two, just wait. Grandpa Liu will get you something to eat." After speaking, Liu Sen turned to his old disciple and said, "Brother Men, you can settle down yourself while I let them prepare food. I also buried it the year before last." Two jars of fine wine under the pine trees, Tonight, we two brothers will have a good drink.”
The old man laughed loudly, patted Liu Sen’s shoulder hard and said, “That’s right, what do you call the door manager?” It's so good now. Go and get it. You don't have to worry about it. Anyway, I don't come here once or twice. I know everything there. By the way, I also brought some food in the car. You Take it down." Liu Sen responded, turned around and left.
Lao Menzi led Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er into the room. This room was very simple and could be seen at a glance. What was inside could be seen at a glance. Apart from the Eight Immortals table and the four strips Apart from the stool, there is only a cabinet on the kang that can be regarded as furniture.
The old man opened the cabinet and looked inside. There were several quilts inside, and it looked like they were all washed. The old man nodded with satisfaction, closed the door of the cabinet, turned to Xiao Hecao and said: " Bao'er, we'll stay here tonight." Hecao and Xiao Yuer both nodded excitedly. Children are like this. Whenever they go to a new place, they will be very excited at the beginning. They will look at the place like a treasure hunt. Want to find out what makes this place different from other places.
The old man looked at the two people, smiled slightly and said: "Okay, let's go, I will take you to the yard to have a look. The backyard is much more interesting than here, let's go." The two children He nodded happily and followed the old man to the backyard. The backyard is the main room, which is naturally much more grand than the outer courtyard. However, because the owner's parents have not been here for a while, although it is very clean, it lacks some popularity.
Because this is just a manor, the layout here is still a lot worse than the Liu Mansion in the city. However, there are very big trees planted here, and the trees are very tall. The entire yard looks lush and green.
When they reached the end of the yard, Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er became excited, because from the backyard of the yard, they could directly see Juyun Mountain, looking at the steep hillside. The trees, etc., all make people feel inexplicably excited.
After walking around in a big circle in the yard, the old man finally led the two of them back to the front yard. By this time, Liu Sen had come back, and so had Men Qing. The two of them were chatting about something in the yard. As soon as he saw his old disciple coming back, Liu Sen immediately greeted him. He smiled at the old man and said: "Brother Men, I asked my second boy to go up the mountain. He set a few traps a few days ago. I don't know if he can catch two game. If he can, it will be great." Well, we have game to eat today.”
The old man smiled and said: "Okay, I didn't expect that your second boy is so good at it. Whether you can eat game today depends on your second boy."
Liu Sen also laughed. , at this moment the courtyard door opened, and a man dressed as a farmer in short clothes walked in from the outside. The man was stunned when he saw the people in the yard, and then he recognized the old disciple. He immediately saluted the old disciple and said, "I've met the gate manager, Liu Yan is polite." Liu Yan is Liu Sen's elder brother My son has just come back from the fields. He has known Lao Menzi since he was a child, so he recognized Lao Menzi at a glance.
The old man looked at Liu Yan, chuckled and said: "Good boy, you are getting stronger and stronger. The last time I saw you was when you got married. At that time, you were still a kid. Not so strong. I didn’t expect that after a few years of seeing you, you have become a strong young man. Okay, that’s great.”
Liu Yan hurriedly said: "The door manager has given me the reward." Obviously, although he knew that the old doorman had a relationship with their family, he did not have to abide by these rules, mainly because the Liu family's rules were very strict. If anyone knew If you break the rules, the punishment will be very serious. Liu Yan still doesn't know if his old disciple's temperament has changed, so everything must be in line.
The old man looked at Liu Yan and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be so formal. Just call me uncle as before. Just came back from the fields? How are the crops growing in the fields? How? ”
Liu Yan said quickly: "Come back, uncle, the crops in the fields are growing very well, and this year's harvest looks good." Just as Liu Yan finished speaking, he heard a sound of horses neighing from outside. At this sound, several people in the yard were stunned. Then Liu Yan immediately turned around and opened the courtyard door. Through the courtyard door, Lao Menzi and the others saw several horses parked outside, and several people jumped from the horses. came down, and a carriage stopped next to it.
When he saw the people outside the courtyard, the old man couldn't help but be startled, and then he quickly whispered to Menqing: "Menqing, you take Bao'er and Yu'er back to the house, and I'll go out and take a look." He hurriedly walked out and said as he walked: "I have seen the seventh young master."
Xiao Hecao took a peek and found a few young people standing outside the door. The souls on the heads of these young people are either beast souls or soldier souls. There is no craftsman soul or soul transplanter. They are obviously of high status. The leader is a young man who is nearly 1.8 meters tall and has a tiger's back. He has a wolf-like waist, a well-built figure, and his eyes are shining brightly. The whole person looks very majestic. If the soul of the sword on his head is added, it will become even more impressive.
Xiao Hecao did not know this person, but Liu Sen and the others did. This person was the seventh young master of the Liu family, named Liu Renli. He was a martial arts genius among the younger generation of the Liu family. The Liu family is also very favored. I didn't expect that he would come to Yunxia Manor today. This is really a coincidence.
Liu Renli was also stunned when he saw his old disciple. He naturally knew his old disciple. He knew that his status in the family was unusual, and he was not rude to his old disciple. Instead, he was directed at his old disciple. Menzi nodded and said: "It turns out to be Uncle Men. Uncle Men, why are you here? But who in the family is here?"
The old slave smiled and said: "No, to be honest with the seventh young master, two little kids from my friend's family came to see the old slave. The old slave took them to see the scenery here, but they met the seventh young master here. , This is really an honor for this old slave.”
