In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Jishan sent someone to deliver 370 taels of silver. Xiao Xin made the decision, and each household had three taels of silver, and the remaining silver was for public use in the whole village. According to Liu Ziqiu's wishes, the twenty taels of flowers won by Yang Heihu would also be kept in the public use in the village, but Xiao Xin refused to agree, so he had to hand it over to Gao Xiu'er first.

The salt farm has officially started construction, and the new Changshan Village is also being built at the same time.

According to the scale of the salt farm, Manager Li only asked Changshan Village to provide 80 young and strong laborers. With dividends, these young and strong people have no wages, but the salt farm will provide a free lunch. Manager Li is very careful and will not raise idle people at will.

The salt farm is well-built. Except for the open-air salt fields and ditches, other places are covered with blue bricks and fine tiles. In contrast, the houses in Xinchangshan Village are much shabby, and they are still built with rammed earth and walls with thatched grass as the roof.

The eighty young and strong men sent to work in salt were all assigned by Xiao Xin, and Liu Ziqiu was among them. He worked in the salt field during the day and returned to the Qiantang River to build a new home at night. He taught Gao Xiu'er to learn boxing. His life was busy and fulfilling.

Half a month later, the new Changshan Village was built, the villagers moved into their new homes, and the former wasteland became lively. Unexpectedly, many years later, this place became a sacred place for Qianjiang Tide Watching.

After another half month, the salt farm finally produced the first batch of salt. The Yang family had already opened up all aspects of the joints and sent them directly as official salt to various places, making a lot of money. Looking at the white money, Yang Jishan was in a good mood and rewarded Manager Li with fifty taels of silver on the spot. Manager Li was also very happy. After returning, he announced that the whole audience would be on holiday.

Liu Ziqiu, who had been working hard for a month, also returned home. In fact, it should be said that it was Daniu's home more accurate. Compared with that old home, the biggest change was that the thatched hut changed from two to three, and then a few new chrysanthemums were planted in the corner of the courtyard.

Seeing the scenery in front of him, Liu Ziqiu felt unreal. A trump special forces soldier actually became a worker in an ancient salt field, which made him laugh and cry. He finally made up his mind to meet Yuan Tiangang during the holiday tomorrow.

"Brother, it's time to eat!"

Xiu'er's crisp shouts interrupted Liu Ziqiu's thoughts.

Today's dinner was very rich, with chicken, fish and a plate of clams, which was far beyond the usual standards. Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but wonder: "What day is today?"

Gao Xiu'er smiled and said, "Brother, this is specially prepared for you. I have learned the first five internal skills. You should teach me boxing. This is a special reward for you. Don't worry, it's not cost you much. The chicken is a pheasant made by Shuanzi, the fish is given by Aunt San, and the clams are dug on the beach by Vanilla."

"It's just for money to be earned. Don't think so stingy." Liu Ziqiu smiled and suddenly said seriously: "There are twelve internal skills of Xingyiquan. It only took you a month to learn how to catch the moon in the sea, the lion fights the ball, the dragon looks back, open and close the eyes, and look around. These five styles are not easy. In the future, you must practice hard every day and keep in the cold and heat, which will be of great benefit to your body!"

"Don't worry, brother, I promise not to disappoint you." Gao Xiu'er was excited and said, "By the way, brother, I want to go to the city tomorrow."

Liu Ziqiu glanced at Xiangcao and said, "Hasn't her illness been cured?"

Gao Xiu'er smiled and said, "It's not for Vanilla to treat it. It's already August, and the weather is getting colder. You can't always sleep on the ground. I plan to add a bed at home and buy a few more quilts. In addition, I also want to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones."

Liu Ziqiu said in surprise: "What are you doing when buying pens, ink, paper and inkstone?"

Gao Xiu'er said proudly: "Brother is illiterate, I want to teach my brother to read."

Thinking of the scene when Xiao Xin snatched the contract from him that day, Liu Ziqiu felt funny, but he didn't expect that this girl was so thoughtful. She couldn't help but reach out and pat her head, and said, "Who said that my brother is illiterate? My brother knows many words that you don't know!"

When learning boxing, there is inevitably physical contact. Over time, Gao Xiu'er is no longer as shy as before, and she doesn't dodge, but she still blushed. There is one thing that Liu Ziqiu has been observing for a long time and always finds strange. Every time Gao Xiu'er only has her left face turned red, but her ugly right face has not changed at all. I don't know what is wrong with her.

Gao Xiu'er didn't believe Liu Ziqiu's words, and quietly stuck out her tongue and muttered in a low voice: "Brave!"

There was no moonlight tonight, only the stars were seen in the sky. Gao Xiu'er practiced one move after another in the courtyard. Now, the fence walls in this courtyard are tied tightly, so people would not have to wait until very late to practice martial arts.

After watching Gao Xiu'er's drill, Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "I've practiced well. I can teach you boxing. Let's start with claw boxing."

Gao Xiu'er blinked and asked, "Why isn't it a cannon fist?"

Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "My daughter's family is Shui, of course she will learn cuckoo boxing first."

It was dawn, and the three of them went to Yanguan City together. In the sun, Gao Xiu'er's half right face looked particularly ugly, and passers-by looked at her side. However, Liu Ziqiu had seen so many times that she didn't think it was ugly.

Unlike last time, there are many people surrounded by the gate of Yanguan City today, and several soldiers guarding there, as if something happened.

Vanilla said, "It's so lively. Sister, let's go and have a look."

There was no urgent matter when he entered the city today. Liu Ziqiu was also interested. He relied on his height and strength to squeeze in in a few seconds. When he looked up, he found that there were several notices posted at the city gate, with a portrait drawn and a big fork.

Suddenly I heard a "ah" scream from behind me, and then I heard Vanilla shout anxiously: "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you..."

Liu Ziqiu turned around and saw Gao Xiu'er lying on the ground. Vanilla was shaking her desperately, and couldn't help but ask, "Vanilla, what did you call her just now?"

Vanilla was already in tears and begged, "Brother, please save the lady quickly. I, I will tell you later, okay?"

The people who were watching the notice were also attracted. When they saw Gao Xiu'er's half face, they covered their faces, and some even exaggeratedly retching.

Liu Ziqiu felt disgusted and had no time to save her. She picked up Gao Xiu'er and said, "Let's go! Vanilla, let's go home!"

The new Changshan Village is not far from Yanguan County. Liu Ziqiu spread his legs and ran like flying. After a while, Vanilla ran back, not having to take a breath, and asked repeatedly: "Brother Niu, how are you doing with Miss?"

Liu Ziqiu comforted, "Don't worry, I've helped her take her pulse. She just angrily and fainted, and it was fine. Tell me, what's going on?"

People who practice martial arts often know a little about medical principles, not to mention that Liu Ziqiu practices internal martial arts. He can basically judge that Gao Xiu'er was stimulated by some kind of stimulation, which is probably related to the announcement at the city gate.

Vanilla choked and said, "Brother Big Niu, we lied to you, Miss, she is..."

It turned out that Gao Xiu'er was the youngest daughter of Gao Bing, a famous founding official of the Sui Dynasty. The three people who were just announced were He Ruobi, Gao Bing and Yu Wen Bi. They were just executed by Emperor Yang Guang a few days ago on the charge of "slandering the court."

Liu Ziqiu, a man from Gao Yang, had heard of it because he had done a very famous thing. After the Sui army conquered Jiankang, Gao Yang ordered the execution of Chen Houzhu's favorite concubine Zhang Lihua. However, Zhang Lihua was the person Yang Guang wanted. Gao Yang offended Yang Guang for this and ended up being in a different position. It was reasonable.

Liu Ziqiu didn't expect that Gao Xiu'er was Gao Feng's daughter. She couldn't help but sigh and could only instruct: "Vanilla, take good care of your lady and call me when she wakes up."

Gao Xiu'er fell asleep for a whole day until midnight when she heard Xiangcao shouting: "Brother Big Niu, Brother Big Niu, the lady woke up, the lady woke up..."

Liu Ziqiu ran into the inner room quickly and saw Gao Xiu'er sitting on the bed in a daze.

Seeing Liu Ziqiu come in, Gao Xiu'er suddenly lay on his shoulder and burst into tears. Liu Ziqiu patted her back gently and comforted her: "Cry, cry, you will feel comfortable when you cry."

Suddenly, Gao Xiu'er stopped crying and said, "Actually, my father had expected this day to come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly."

The strong girl had wiped her tears and began to tell her.

Gao Yang offended Yang Guang not only because he killed Zhang Lihua, but also because he supported the former crown prince Yang Yong. Gao Xiu'er's sister-in-law was Yang Yong's daughter. Later, Gao Yang fell out of favor by Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian and was dismissed from his official position. He was very happy and thought that disasters would be avoided from then on. Unexpectedly, shortly after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he issued an edict to re-appoint Gao Yang.

At this moment, Gao Yang knew that his life was not long, and the narrow-minded Yang Guang appointed him as his purpose to kill him. What's even more tragic is that his wife and children would also be used as slaves. Among them, Gao Yang was most worried about Gao Xiu'er. So before taking office, he sent his confidant family to send Gao Xiu'er's master and servant to Jiangnan.

Unexpectedly, when they passed by Shandong, Yang Guang was ordered to dig the canal. The family member was forcibly arrested as a husband, and Gao Xiu'er had to go south alone. The traffic was gradually exhausted, and later he was trapped in Changshan Village and was taken in by Daniu's mother.

As he was talking, Gao Xiu'er started sobbing again, and Vanilla burst into tears.

"Poor girl. Don't worry, if I'm here in the future, I won't let you suffer anymore." Liu Ziqiu had long guessed that there was a secret behind Gao Xiu'er, but she didn't expect that she had suffered so much. After a moment of emotion, she was about to wipe her tears when she was stunned and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with your face?"

Gao Xiu'er touched her right face and said lightly: "Vanilla, go and make some water."

However, Liu Ziqiu had already seen Gao Xiu'er's hands sticky, and suddenly realized that something like oil paint must have been painted on her face.

Sure enough, after Vanilla used a handkerchief to help Gao Xiu'er dry her face, the one who showed it to Liu Ziqiu was already a peerless beauty, and there was no scar at all.

Gao Xiu'er looked up at Liu Ziqiu and suddenly said, "Brother, I lied to you."

Liu Ziqiu understood very well and said, "You have undergone a sudden change in your family. You do this to protect yourself. How can you talk about cheating? Brother doesn't blame you."

"Vancao, go out first, I have something to say to your big brother." Gao Xiu'er waved her hand and watched Vancao leave the door, then turned to Liu Ziqiu and said, "Langjun."

Liu Ziqiu was stunned: "What are you calling me?"

"Mr. I am your wife." Gao Xiu'er suddenly lowered her head and murmured, "Tonight, I want to be your woman!"
