The inside and outside of Qingyu Furong Garden are like two worlds. Inside the door is deserted and deserted, with dead branches and leaves all over the ground and no one is sweeping it, but outside the door is very lively, with people coming and going, and lights and colorful lights everywhere.
For a moment, it felt like a world away.
Liu Xiaolou went to Daku along the road. The Su family members, village stewards, and domestic servants and maids he met all had happy faces, and they were all busy, and they didn't know what they were doing.
When I arrived at the warehouse, I saw more than a dozen stewards and accountants carrying boxes tied with red flowers and boxes covered with red silk inside and outside. Some people sang loudly about the items in the boxes and boxes. Someone was writing quickly and kept writing down things in the account book.
"The Jia family in Dongheng Town has ten kilograms of gold, three thousand taels of silver, thirty spiritual stones, twelve east pearls, and a six-foot-high coral..."
"The Qian family in Fuzhou has a hundred pieces of Sichuan brocade, ten loads of lake silk, ten stones of spiritual rice from Lianhua Mountain, ten stones of spiritual rice from Eyang Mountain, and twenty spiritual stones..."
"Wutong Mountain Lotus Village, a pair of triangle sheep, six black mountain spirit pigs, two small garden cattle, twenty spiritual stones..."
"Huagou Xiong's family, eight pounds of Jinshan honey, ten jars of Bamboo Leaf Qingling wine..."
The uncles of the brothers Su Zhi and Su Xun were in charge of the treasury. The older generation, Xing San, stopped at the early stage of foundation building due to insufficient cultivation qualifications and failed to build a house. Therefore, this was the most important and tedious task. errand.
Speaking of which, several masters from the older generation of the Su family were much better than him in cultivation, but they fell one by one due to various reasons. Serious injuries from fighting are difficult to heal, but he, an ordinary person, has lived the longest. Now he is one hundred and fifty years old, and he is still very energetic. It is said that his concubines have changed three times.
At this moment, he was stroking his beard and watching the servants packing and stacking goods in the warehouse outside.
Liu Xiaolou came close to him and called him "third uncle".
The third uncle of the Su family glanced at Liu Xiaolou for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered, stroking his white beard and suddenly said: "Xiaolou... I haven't seen you for a long time. When did you come back?"
Liu Xiaolou smiled and said: "I just stayed in the garden and never went out."
The third uncle asked: "Ha, I thought you were going on a trip...why did you think of coming to my place?"
Liu Xiaolou cupped his hands and said, "I'm ashamed. I really can't open the pot. I'd like to ask my third uncle to give me the monthly expenses."
The third uncle was obviously in a good mood today. He waved to an accountant and asked him to check the amount of Liu Xiaolou's monthly salary. He received seven spiritual stones and seventy taels of silver on the spot.
Liu Xiaolou, who had received his salary smoothly, was in a good mood. He approached his third uncle again and asked him what he was doing.
The third uncle smiled and replied: "Sanlang from the second family is getting married to the daughter of Guan Xingzhou from the Zhemei sect. Today is the ceremony. Aren't you busy counting the gifts sent by each family?"
"We're married..." Liu Xiaolou felt a little sad for a moment. He worked hard and rescued Tan Bazhang, but he indirectly contributed to Su San's good deeds.
It's just that what Tan Bazhang wants is to get married, have a child, and change his background, rather than simply being the daughter of the Guan family. There is no good way to do it, so he can only watch helplessly, watching Su San's failure. Three long-cherished wishes come true.
When I came to the outside of Gualudang, I took a look from a distance and saw that it was even more lively here. After all, it was the legitimate son of the second wife of the Su family who was getting married. It was different from the hastily held Su Wuniang's wedding banquet last year. This was a serious double cultivation ceremony. Not only the famous people from the Su family were present, but also the Cai, Mao and Wang families. Many people came to watch the ceremony, and there were as many as two or three hundred people inside and outside Gualu Hall.
Liu Xiaolou watched from a distance for a moment, then left Gualudang. When he passed the large kitchen, the servants here were already carrying food baskets and running water to deliver them there.
At a glance, he saw Chef Wang, who was in charge, with her hands on her hips and shouting back and forth, instructing the servants to work.

Chef Wang also glanced at Liu Xiaolou, but she didn't dare to look more. She turned sideways and subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but was blocked by the busy servants. She was anxious and angry, but she didn't dare to speak loudly. She was a little anxious for a moment. .
The more she tried to avoid something, the more it came. In the blink of an eye, Liu Xiaolou stood in front of her, staring directly at her.
"Cook Wang, it's been half a year since Liu was in Qingyu Furong Garden, and no one has given him food. Do you know how Liu has been spending the past six months?"
Chef Wang didn't dare to speak. The fat on her face jumped a few times. She didn't want to give in but was subconsciously afraid. She felt very uncomfortable.
Liu Xiaolou asked again: "Do you really think that there is no one in my Qingyu Furong Garden?"
Chef Wang didn't dare to look at her and moved her eyes to the side.
Liu Xiaolou said: "Liu is hungry, you know what to do! Also, don't think about spitting or making dirt in the food. My nose is what I am repairing. As long as we find you dare to do these evil things, we will make an appointment." Fight!" Throwing up his sleeves and walking away.
After he left, Chef Wang spat fiercely: "You will starve to death! Are you going to fight with me?"
After a long attack, he finally called a servant and asked him to carry a food basket: "Send it to Qingyu Furong Garden."
The servant asked: "How many main dishes are included?"
Chef Wang glared at him and deliberately said she wouldn't give it to her. She finally snorted: "Here, I'll just feed the dog." But she couldn't bear to do it: "Come back!" She opened the food basket and wanted to spit thick phlegm into it. Thinking of Liu Xiaolou's threat again, he still didn't dare to swallow a mouthful of thick phlegm.
He waved his hand: "Go!"
The servant had just taken two steps when the food basket was picked up by a young man in white who suddenly appeared.
But Chef Wang recognized this person and quickly said with a smile: "Master Yun, this is..."
The one who came was Baiyun Swordsman Yun Ao. The Yun family was not a vassal of the Su family, but a family friend. Yun Ao often came to Shenwu Villa as a guest when he was young, so Chef Wang recognized him.
Yun Ao said: "I heard from afar just now that this was food delivered to your uncle's garden? Why didn't he attend Su San's wedding ceremony?"
Chef Wang said: "When Wu Niang didn't come back, he was a young man who knocked on the door..."
Before she could finish, Yun Ao interrupted: "I happened to see him for something, so he brought the food over for you. Where's the wine? Don't you have any wine?"
Chef Wang quickly ordered a pot of spirit wine and sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed into the food basket: "How do you do this?"
Yun Ao left with the food basket and came to the door of Qingyu Furong Garden. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to knock on the door.
A gust of wind blew, and the door creaked open. Yun Ao stepped in. He looked around and saw that the garden was deserted except for a big white goose.
There was a pile of dead branches and leaves at the feet of this big white goose, and it was turning its head to look at itself, with a few leaves in its mouth.
"You don't even have to eat the poultry you raised, so you can only eat it among the dead branches and leaves? The Su family is so mean to this uncle... Sigh..."
Thinking in his mind, he kept a calm expression on his face and shouted: "Ms. Su Liu, Mr. Yun is here to see you!"
