"This town is called Qingquan Town, the terrain is flat, surrounded by mountains and rivers, although it is not as beautiful and quiet and elegant as your hometown, but it is also a place of pleasant heart; And because it is connected to the official post road from south to north, and is close to the capital of Cheongju, it is only seven or eight miles into the city, so it is relatively prosperous. ”

Meng Fan, who was walking beside Helian Yutian, had already changed into another set of dresses that he had in his baggage, not to mention the simple broken flowers, it was really a bit out of place to walk next to a man in brocade robes, but she resolutely rejected Helian Yutian's kindness to help her buy some clothes; With only a pair of bright and clear eyes, he seemed to look at the place in front of him that was much larger than his own town.

Garment shops, jewelry shops, tea shops, wine shops, inns, rice and grain stores are all available, and even outside a slightly remote deep alley, I saw several women wearing colorful dresses and heavy makeup; After just a glance, Hai Lao Liu obliquely took a few steps to cover the scenery over there, and urged Helian Yutian to turn around with her and walk in the other direction.

"Big brother, what are you doing there?" Almost out of the town, Meng Fan curiously picked up his feet and looked at the flat place in front of Lu's right, where many people were gathered in a small group.

"It's a place where people do business, and whoever needs a slave, a maidservant, a temporary worker, or something like that, will go there to find out if there is a suitable one."

"Where to buy and sell people? Oh my God......" Mengfan was shocked, this is modern thinking at work, in a legal society where everyone is equal and pays attention to human rights, this situation can never be brought to the table, and the sale of human beings is definitely a violation of the criminal law, even in her current hometown town, because of the traffic blockage, the people are simple, naturally they have not seen this situation.

"Yes, you're surprised? Haven't seen it in your home town? Helian Yutian glanced sideways at her and smiled: "Actually, if there is a maid waiting by your side, I think it is normal." ”

The surprise that suddenly rose in Meng Fan's heart was only for a moment, thinking that in so many ancient novels he had read, there were all divisions of identity levels, so there was not much surprise on his face, thinking about what Helian Yutian said meaningfully at this time, Meng Fan looked directly into his eyes and smiled indifferently: "Hehe......"

It's too early to talk about this now, it's better to bring it over, and the most important thing at the moment is to find a suitable place to stay, and then talk about the future.

Lan Bao'er has been obediently snuggling up to her, so well-behaved that she didn't even say a word about wanting to eat snacks, and let others have more pity in vain, but she only said that this child was attached to the young lady beside her, and she didn't want to be annoyed by others. ”

"Uh......" Helian Yutian was stunned: "You are a little bit, you actually know what it means to be affectionate and righteous?" Or do you know that when you are a little older, you will be rewarded by springs of favor? ”

Meng Fan glanced down at Lan Bao'er, she was also taken aback by his sudden words, fortunately this baby only said such a headless sentence, otherwise how could she explain it to others? Fortunately, the appearance of this guy transformed into a human is cute enough, and the words he says are just the unintentional words of a child.

"Bao'er's mother is gone, and I can't find it when I look for it, I must be disgusted with Bao'er, Bao'er only follows her sister and has been following." Lan Baoer is very good at explaining what she says in the innocent words of a child.

"This kid ......" Hai Lao Liu sighed in his heart, touched the top of Lan Bao'er's head, and a rare pity appeared in his always big grinning expression: "Such a small baby, he is actually a grateful person, and he also knows how to find a master who is good to him, hey...... I hope that when you grow up, you will treat her with such sincerity and sincerity. ”

"Of course......" Lan Bao'er raised her hand dissatisfiedly and slapped the big palm on the top of her head, and used a categorical tone: "If my Lan Bao'er has two hearts for my sister in the future, I will definitely suffer the punishment of five thunders!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people in front of them froze their expressions, including Meng Fan.

The oath is regarded by many people as a fart, but when it comes out of the mouth of the ancient immortal bird blue peacock, how can there be vain words.

"Hahaha...... I don't believe it, you are such a small doll, and you will swear to be loyal to the master you yourself identify. Hai Lao Liu suddenly burst out laughing, and the uncontrollable laughter was difficult to calm down for a long time.

"Believe it or not, you can't tell it, let time tell." Lan Bao'er raised her clear eyes and looked at her master softly, as long as he believed what he said.

"Hehe......" Helian Yutian smiled, looked down at the little boy and smiled, he was shocked by the child's words, but somehow, he always felt that he believed this, thought about it, and said: "It's not too early, let's go." ”

In the town, it was Mengfan who asked him to bring it for a walk, saying that he was free to walk around today anyway.

As for Mengfan's place of stay, it was the village near Qingfeng Temple that he returned to after going around and around, and it was only two miles away from the town.

Blue bricks and blue tiles, simple and heavy, this is a typical rural family in the family is quite solid residence, the front yard after entering the door is spacious and tidy, bypass the corridor under the eaves into the backyard, a few plane trees are sparsely scattered, a few bushes of autumn chrysanthemum and low bamboo bushes are dotted in a number of places outside the wings of the hexagonal flower platform made of green bricks.

In addition to Uncle Sun, an old family member who is responsible for guarding the house, there is also a cook in his forties and a man who works here for a long time, two sixteen-year-old and fourteen-year-old maids and a twelve-year-old girl Chun'er, they are the descendants of Helian Yutian's house.

If Helian Yutian had known earlier that an unexpected person had entered the door without even taking a breath, he would never have insisted on bringing Meng Fan back here.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door with his front foot, someone followed him with his back foot, and if he didn't mean it, he definitely didn't believe it.

Just as he was drinking a saliva, the bench under his buttocks was not yet hot, and Meng Fan heard a few shouts of surprise from outside the door:

"Whose little boy is this? Why did you come into our house by yourself? ”

"Hehe, you are the little boy of Uncle Sun's family, right......, my name is Helian Qingtian, from the princess's mansion in the capital, Helian Yutian is my eldest brother."

"Ah...... This, this, this...... The little one has seen this little master...... Oh, young master, young master, come out and have a look......" The last half of the sentence was the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who shouted and ran to the backyard while shouting.

Here, in normal times, no one else will come except for him and his grandfather, because his father had already entered Beijing a few years ago and became a concubine, and if he wanted to come back, he had to hand over the fold to the heavens and hear the will.

This is not the old mansion of the Helian family, but just a private residence of his in this village, I didn't expect Helian Qingtian, the little prince who should have stayed in the capital, to deign to come here.

Mengfan glanced up at Helian Yutian, but he didn't expect Helian Yutian to be looking at her, and his eyes collided.

"Your brother?" When his brother came, he still looked like he wanted to say something, and there seemed to be some kind of uneasiness.

"It was born to my father and the eldest princess." In his eyes, which had always been warm to Mengfan, there was a strange crack: "The eldest princess's sister-in-law, the son of the Horse Mansion; The grandson of the current emperor. "His words were slow and clear; Word by word, it makes people feel very profound.

"This identity is enough for the ...... of the cow" Meng Fan was just talking about things, and this gap was only enough for her to say these few words, and she saw a kid rushing towards Helian Yutian, who was sitting idly in the back hall.

Behind this kid, a young man with a noble status in every point of his body was surrounded by two well-dressed big girls.

Before anyone arrived, the voice came first: "Brother, I haven't seen you for many days, do I still miss my little brother?" ”

This is a momentum, this tone pretending to be a little adult......
