Chapter 275
"But now that the county lord of benevolence has given us the real household registration, our family no longer has to be slaves." Xu Wei curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth.
Xing patted Xu Wei on the shoulder, and sighed in his heart, I really didn't expect that the prosperity of the plains would come like this, and those wealth and Antai were just illusions of slaves performing?
"Fortunately, the emperor gave the plain to the lord of Renai, and in the future, you don't have to be a slave anymore."
"But now that we are here to apply, we are still here to be slaves, isn't it still a slave to be a slave of the benevolent county master?" Xu Wei shook his head, helplessness written on his little face.
"The county lord never forces others to be slaves, even us, none of them are slaves, but the county lord will sign a contract with us, during the contract period, you need to abide by the contract, be loyal to the county lord, and after the contract period passes, you can choose to renew the contract or part ways."
"Is there such a thing?" Xu Wei's eyes widened in surprise. He has been a slave all his life, so he always feels that he can't hold his head up, and he is also worried that coming here to be a soldier is a pit that does not change the soup, but he doesn't want this place to be completely different from what he thinks.
"I'll show you a contract, all soldiers are contractual, you wait."
Xu Wei looked at the contract and excitedly gathered his partners over, and everyone chatted around to discuss the contract soldier system.
Xing looked at the group of young men who had been trained for a long time, and he was also very happy, this feeling was like picking a big pumpkin in someone's field, it was so cool.
β¦β¦
Although the Marquis of Pingyuan and the Marquis of Zhongyong still lived in their respective mansions, the transfer of power had been successfully completed......
On the contrary, since Jiang Wenhan obtained the military power of the two cities, the spring breeze was proud, and the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion was also jubilant.
"Sister, are you really going to move to the backyard?" Cheng Mei actually didn't want other people to live in the backyard, after all, it had been her and Siqi's private space for the past few years.
"Of course, there is no reason why all the female dependents live in the front yard. Now the old lady is also in the front yard, and the front yard is almost out of place. Hou Ye has already arranged for people to start repairing the backyard from tomorrow. β
"My sister doesn't know that many people were unjustly killed in the backyard back then. The blood flowed like a river, and I was just afraid that my sister was timid and couldn't get used to it. β
"What do you mean?" Cheng Ying looked at Cheng Mei, she knew Cheng Mei too well in her heart, what she liked since she was a child. She likes to dominate the most, is it possible that now she has to dominate the backyard alone?
"This is true, back then, all the maids and guards in the backyard were killed within an hour, and the Hou Ye never entered the backyard again!"
"Haven't been in again, so how did you get in?"
"It's not that Master Hou is too much, I can't be angry! I went to live in the backyard with Hou Ye, and look, I'm used to living for so long. Cheng Mei coughed awkwardly twice to hide the discomfort on her face.
"And where did your child come from?" Cheng Ying's eyes seemed to be able to see through Cheng Mei's heart, they were twins. In the past few months since she came back, she clearly felt that Cheng Mei didn't care about Hou Ye at all, but she was eye-catching with the guard named Siqi.
"What did my sister say, Hou Ye slept in the backyard after getting drunk once, and that's why I got there." Cheng Mei said weakly.
"Hmph." Cheng Ying turned her face away irritably, too lazy to look at her, "Master Hou has already said that he will go to live in the backyard, so don't talk about these unpleasant words everywhere in the future." β
"Oh." Cheng Mei pouted, and suddenly asked again. "Sister, about the destined person. Has Master Hou asked you recently? β
"Asked, what about you?"
"The day before yesterday, the Hou Ye specially called me to ask about it, and I only said that he should ask his sister to ask you."
"Well, if he asks again. You can ask him to ask me in the future, just to avoid the two of us saying different things. Cheng Ying bit her lip, she really fooled Jiang Wenhan with the method taught by Chen Jia, it may be that after so many years, he has also relented, and he is no longer as unscrupulous as he was at the beginning. It made Cheng Ying rarely feel like a housewife.
"Is there any way for my sister? Why don't you tell my sister? β
"You just listen to me, tomorrow you move to the front yard first, the back yard will be renovated, and it is not convenient for you to live there alone." Cheng Ying said impatiently.
"Okay, okay." Cheng Mei rolled his eyes angrily, turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Cheng Mei returned to the backyard angrily, just in time to see Xiao Jiang Ci and Jiang Ai holding hands and wandering around the backyard, looking at the two of them resembling Hou Ye's face, she subconsciously looked at Ran'er's face, and her eyes widened in surprise.
I didn't think it was only one child before, but now I find out that my child is not like Hou Ye at all, the longer he grows, the more like Siqi, the cunning and uninhibited at the eyebrows and eyes are like Siqi carved out of a mold.
No wonder Cheng Ying asked herself about the child just now. Cheng Mei took Ran'er by herself and told the maid to call Siqi to come over.
Siqi was discussing with Jiang Wenhan in the study, and when he saw the maid in Cheng Mei's room shouting, he was a little embarrassed.
"Go check it out." Jiang Wenhan waved his hand. Towards the map on the wall again.
Seeing this, Siqi followed the maid towards the backyard.
β¦β¦
"Cheng Mei, what's the matter with you, didn't you say that you don't usually go to me?" took away the maid, and Siqi was very angry.
"Siqi, you look at them, you look at Ran'er." Although Cheng Mei felt aggrieved in her heart, she was afraid that she would have suppressed this grievance a long time ago, so she pulled Siqi and pointed to a few children.
"What's wrong with Ran'er?" Siqi squatted down nervously and hugged Ran'er to look carefully.
"He's not much, who do you think he looks like?" Cheng Mei said angrily.
"What? What are you afraid of, he doesn't come to the backyard anyway. β
"That was before, my sister asked me to move to the front yard tomorrow, and the backyard should be repaired, which was ordered by the Hou Ye. In the future, how can we not see that day by day? β
"How's that good?" Siqi also frowned.
"I'm so scared."
"Don't be afraid." Siqi naturally hugged Cheng Mei into his arms. Cheng Mei leaned into Siqi's arms and finally felt a little relieved.
"Mother is ashamed and hugs Master Siqi."
"Mother is ashamed and hugs Master Siqi."
Jiang Ai happened to see it, and pulled Jiang Ci towards the front yard, and the two children laughed and shouted as they ran.
"Oops." Siqi took out the soft sword from his waist and chased it in the direction of the front yard, seeing that the two children were still shouting, and several guards next to him were also talking to each other, he stabbed the sword at Jiang Ai, who was talking.
"Bell~" Siqi's soft sword was knocked to the ground.
"What are you doing?" It turned out to be satisfying, and he also heard the voices of the two children, looking this way. But I happened to see Siqi raise his sword and stab at the eldest lady Jiang Ai.
Jiang Ai's face turned pale with fright from the sound of the two, and when he turned around, he saw the sword on the ground, and he almost fell to the ground, and Jiang Ci was also so frightened that he shrank behind Jiang Ai.
"The kid is talking nonsense. Satisfy you and don't care. β
"Are you crazy? She is the eldest lady, even if she says the wrong thing, you should hand it over to the Hou Ye to deal with, how can you use a sword to stab her? β
"What's going on?" It turned out to be Cheng Ying, and it was getting late. She had come to call the children for dinner, and was out with her two maids to look for them.
"Mrs. Ying, my subordinates are just learning martial arts with Lord Siqi." The flustered salute made Cheng Ying even more confused, and Siqi also saluted when he saw this.
"Is that so?" Cheng Ying muttered.
"Mother." Jiang Ai and Jiang Ci also reacted when they saw Cheng Ying, and the two hurriedly threw themselves into Cheng Ying's arms with a purple face without saying a word, Cheng Ying saw this, frowned and pulled the two children back.
Seeing Cheng Ying and the two children out of sight, he grabbed Siqi with satisfaction. "Siqi, you're telling the truth. Are you sorry for Master Hou? β
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Siqi stared at Jiang Ai's back with his eyes, and seemed to be very unwilling.
"They all say that Mrs. Mei's child was born to you and Mrs. Mei, is it true?"
"Who said that?" Siqi's eyes widened in shock.
"Many brothers have said that the little young master is more and more similar to Lord Siqi, especially after seeing the eldest young master, they feel that the little young master is not like the eldest young master at all."
"Satisfaction, don't listen to their nonsense."
"What if Master Hou believes it?"
"Satisfactory, if Master Hou asks you to kill us, will you kill us?"
"You! Siqi, is Young Master Ran really yours? β
Siqi didn't say a word, only closed his eyes in despair.
"You're so confused, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you can tell Master Hou. Aren't there several brothers in our front yard who are married to wives? How can you do something to be sorry for Lord Hou? Hearing Siqi ask such words, there is something that I don't understand.
It seems that the rumors turned out to be true.
"I've already done it, what should I do?" Siqi no longer hides it, and there is no point in him deceiving himself anymore.
"Mrs. Mei is not favored now. Otherwise, let's go and beg Hou Ye to give you Mrs. Mei? β
"Haha. Satisfied, do you think Hou Ye will agree? "Satisfied and naΓ―ve, but Siqi knows what kind of person Jiang Wenhan is.
"How do you know if you don't try?"
"You'd better let me think again." Siqi lowered his head and walked in the direction of the backyard, but Xiangxin dragged him back and pulled him quietly to the vicinity of Cheng Ying's bedroom.
β¦β¦
Cheng Ying dragged the two children back to her bedroom, and met Jiang Wenhan coming to her.
"Master Hou."
"Don't be polite." Jiang Wenhan is becoming more and more satisfied with the current Cheng Ying. Although she has lost her previous timidity, she has become sensible and polite, and she really looks like Mrs. Hou.
"Master Xie."
"Daddy." Jiang Ai ran to Jiang Wenhan aggrievedly and hugged Jiang Wenhan's thigh, Jiang Wenhan smiled and leaned down to hold Jiang Ai in his arms.
"Is Ai'er well-behaved today?"
"Daddy, I've always been very well-behaved! The mother is not well-behaved, the mother is ashamed, and hugs Lord Siqi. As soon as Jiang Ai's childish words were finished, Jiang Wenhan's face immediately became as ugly as ice, he looked at Cheng Ying, and saw Cheng Ying looking at Jiang Ai with a shocked expression.
"Jiang Ai, tell Daddy, where did you see it?" Jiang Wenhan knows how to be good at persuasion.
"In the back yard." Jiang Ai said while playing with Jiang Wenhan's newly grown goatee with both hands, having a lot of fun.
Outside the window, Siqi almost collapsed to the ground, and sure enough, it was impossible to keep the child's mouth from talking.
"Siqi, let's run away with Mrs. Mei and Young Master Ran!" Xiangxin knew that it was not good, so he pulled Siqi aside to urge, and stuffed a silver ticket in his arms to Siqi, Siqi nodded, turned around and left.
Satisfaction went back to the corner to eavesdrop.
"That's not a mother." Jiang Ci shouted loudly on the side.
"It's my mother." Jiang Ai spoke quickly, she didn't know what was wrong with this.
"My mother has been wearing red clothes in the morning, why did she suddenly wear yellow clothes just now?" Jiang Ci had a stupid expression.
"Yes, mother, was that Mei Niang just now?" Jiang Ci blinked at Cheng Ying with big grape-like lovely eyes, but Cheng Ying almost fainted.
No wonder people say that the position of the father is indispensable, since Jiang Wenhan joined, the two children have changed a lot from when they first came, and they are much bolder in speaking, but they didn't expect to encounter such a situation, because they let Cheng Mei and Siqi's affairs happen.
"Master Hou, Cheng Mei may just happen to fall. Master Hou, don't be impulsive! Cheng Ying saw Jiang Wenhan put Jiang Ai on the ground, and walked out angrily, so frightened that he hurriedly followed, grabbed Jiang Wenhan's arm and followed, the two children wanted to follow, Cheng Ying hurriedly asked the maid to take care of it and not to follow.
"Master Hou, Master Hou spares his life." Where can Cheng Ying take care of anything else, no matter how Cheng Mei says, she is also the twin sister of a mother's compatriots, how can she watch her being killed by Jiang Wenhan? She cried and knelt on the ground in front of Jiang Wenhan.
"Hmph." Jiang Wenhan shook his hand and pushed Cheng Ying aside. Cheng Ying fainted in despair.
"Master Hou." Pretending to have just seen Jiang Wenhan, he walked over.
"Go and get Siqi for me."
"Yes, Master Hou." While agreeing simply, he beckoned a few guards and told them to go around and find Siqi.
Jiang Wenhan strode towards the backyard.
"What about the little young master and Mrs. Mei?" Jiang Wenhan rummaged through the backyard and didn't find Cheng Mei and Ran'er, so he grabbed a maid and yelled loudly.
"Go back, go back to Master Hou, Mrs. Mei and Master Siqi went out with the little young master just now." The maid was so frightened that her legs and stomach trembled.
"When did you leave?"
"Just now, about a stick of incense."
"Satisfied!" Jiang Wenhan roared loudly, and was walking around the yard anxiously, when he heard the sound and hurriedly walked in.
"Take someone to chase after me, and you must chase this adulterer-husband-adulteress-woman back to me."
"Yes." Satisfied, he took the command and left.
β¦β¦
"Siqi, can we escape?" Cheng Mei and Siqi took Ran'er to ride a horse all the way to the north, Cheng Mei was not very skilled in horseback riding, and he was scared along the way.
"If you want to live, hold on, don't think about anything, just follow me." Where does Siqi still have time to talk to her about these gossip, just urging the horse forward, he put Ran'er on his back, and tried his best to let the two horses go hand in hand, but Cheng Mei was still too slow, he hurriedly took Cheng Mei directly to his horse, but it was a pity that a horse sat on the three of them, where can they get up quickly.
"Siqi." Chengxin had already informed Siqi to flee north, and he instructed the others to search everywhere, and he chased north alone.
"Satisfied." Seeing that there was only one person who was satisfied, Siqi stopped his horse.
"Siqi, what are you going to do?"
"Satisfaction, if you don't want to come with me, we are all over the world."
"No, my mother is here, I can't go, if you really can't do it, go to the plain first, there is now the territory of the county lord of benevolence, and the Hou Ye can still have scruples."
"Okay." Siqi nodded, "Then we'll have a meeting later." (To be continued.) )
