"Mountains and mountains, water and water, imitating and wandering do not know the north and south... Today is a troubled world, and it is a ghost at the end of the world......"

The song is poignant and moving, and the melody is beautiful. Even the Mongolian security chief Gulchige also nodded again and again when he heard it. It's just that he doesn't know the meaning of the lyrics, and if he does, he will be angry.

Li Luo showed admiration on the surface, but there was some sympathy in his heart.

Ma Zhiyuan also had an unbearable look in his eyes, and he appreciated this woman's courage a little, and he sang such a 'depressing' song at the reception banquet, perhaps because he thought that the Mongolians couldn't understand it.

The woman who sings, her face is still very young, but she has a lot of sorrow about her life, and she must be a person with a background. She was also the youngest of all the daughters.

"The town guard official, this woman's name is Li Yuan, she is originally from Jinan, and she has settled in the society, and she has no relatives and no reason." Seeing that Li Luo seemed to be satisfied with this woman, Brother Gurchi introduced. He hoped that Li Luo would give Li Yuan more rewards, and wait until Li Luo left, and then swallow the rewards.

Speaking of which, Brother Gurchi has long been worried about this beautiful Li Yuan. However, because his wife Dulan is jealous and unusual, Brother Gulchi can't be fingered.

Li Yuan? Li Luo's heart moved, and he asked, "Which yuan character is it?" ”

Brother Gulchi doesn't know Chinese, how do you know? He said to the Han slaves who knew Mongolian: "Ask Li Yuan, which yuan is her yuan." ”

The Han slave wrote the word "Yuan" directly on the ground and said: "The good teacher knows that this woman's name is this character." ”

Li Luo nodded. This woman's name is Li Yuan, and she is also named after Jianghe, just like herself.

This girl is an orphan girl, if you take her back and take her as a righteous sister, it will be used to marry and attract important people in the future.

So, Li Luo looked at the girl's eyes, deliberately became confused, nodded and said in Mongolian: "I can't imagine that a wild flower on the remote grassland can also attract the eyes of the shepherd." ”

This, "clearly" is fancy.

Where did Brother Gulchi not know what Li Luo meant? Of course he didn't care about a little woman. That's her.

So, Brother Gulchi said to Li Luo: "Honorable town guard, since this Han girl has seen the past, let her serve tonight." ”

Li Luo smiled: "Brother Gulchi, you are really a hospitable host. It's just that this woman is quite in line with the official's wishes, and the official wants to take her back. ”

Brother Gurchi smiled and said: "This woman is not my slave of Brother Gurchi, but a registered villager, and she has to pay the silk package silver fee." If it is given to an official, no one will pay for her silk and silver. ”

What he said is also true. Although Li Yuan is an orphan girl, she is also counted as half a household, and she has to pay half a catty of silk, two silver banknotes, and half a bank note every year. In short, she alone has to pay taxes worth three taels of silver!

If Li Luo takes Li Yuan away, the undercharged tax will either be spread on other people's heads, or Brother Gurchi will pay for it himself.

Li Luo said with a smile: "Enthusiastic Brother Gurchi, the official will not make it difficult for you, she has been a professional errand for thirty years, and the official has all the benefits." ”

Brother Gulchi suddenly became excited. This means that the town keeper will give him a hundred taels of silver!

Now in the slave market, the price of a teenage woman is only 30 yuan in the banknote, which is only equivalent to 15 taels of silver, which is far less valuable than cattle and horses.

"Honorable and generous Keeper of the Town, you are such a generous and considerate person, and the Immortal Heaven will bless you......" Gulchi said with a compliment.

Although he is the chief of security, and the villagers are very exploited by him, after all, he is only in charge of more than 100 poor farmers, how much oil and water can he have? After completing the government's tax and grain department, it would be good to have a surplus of 100 taels a year.

The dancing posture of more than a dozen village girls was not beautiful, and Li Luo had no intention of watching it, so he immediately ordered it to stop. However, he still rewarded each of them with four bills.

He also knew that after he left, Brother Gulchi would ask them for money, but he would always keep a little, right?

The villager girl got the reward and left with a thousand thanks, only Li Yuan, who was ordered by Brother Gulchi to stay with Li Luo.

Li Yuan's face turned pale and he was extremely unwilling. But in the face of the fierce security chief, he could only obey orders.

Soon, the hostess Du Lan roasted the mutton and presented the most tender piece of roasted brown meat to Li Luo.

"Honorable town guard, please taste the mutton roasted in Dulan, this is the fattest mutton just finished eating autumn grass!"

Li Luo took the mutton, took out the short knife, and skillfully cut a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and the aroma of meat fat suddenly exploded happily in his mouth.

It's really his mother's deliciousness.

Li Yuan was ordered to sit next to Li Luo and pour him wine, and his movements were very stiff.

In addition to roasting whole sheep, there are also several dishes from the Central Plains, although the taste is not very good, but there are a lot of dishes.

When you have had your fill of food and drink, the sun has set. There was no entertainment in this ancient village, so Li Luozi and Cui Xiuning went back to the guest room to rest.

The voice of a Han slave came from outside: "Li Yuan, if you don't serve the town guards tonight, once you offend the officials and the security chief, will you still be able to survive?" I advise you to be obedient, you annoy the officials, but it's not fun! ”

Brother Gulchi stood beside him coldly with a horsewhip in his hand, and made up his mind that once Li Yuan didn't agree, he would beat this slut to death.

Li Yuan trembled all over, like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.

But in the end, she still moved into Li Luo's room.

She knew that she couldn't avoid this catastrophe, and she would fall to this point sooner or later.

Unless, she's going to die right away.

However, she still has worries in her heart, very important concerns, and she must live.

For Li Luo, Li Yuan hated it. It was because of this Mongolian dog official that she had to sacrifice herself today.

However... What can she do but accept her fate?

Tartars who can't die well.

Li Yuan entered the outer room of Li Luo's room and couldn't help but be stunned, because she found that there was also a woman dressed in Mongolia in the room.

Although she is young, she has been smart since she was a child, and of course she knows that something is wrong.

How could there be other women present?

Then she saw the Mongolian woman beckoning to her to pass. And the Tartar dog officer, sitting in a chair, laughing and groaning.

It's really annoying. What is this dog officer laughing at?

Li Yuan couldn't help but walk over to the Mongolian woman.

"You sit down first." The Mongolian woman said to her that it was an authentic Qilu Han dialect.

Li Yuan immediately understood that the woman in front of him was definitely not a Mongolian woman.

Cui Xiuning sat down the stunned Li Yuan, and then whispered: "You deal with it outside this room for one night tonight, and go on the road with us tomorrow." Don't ask anything else. ”

Li Luo stood up and said, "You will sleep outside and go on the road tomorrow." If you still have anything to bring with you, pick it up tomorrow morning. ”

What he said turned out to be Chinese.

Isn't he a Mongol either?

Li Yuan saw the man and woman enter the inner room after finishing speaking, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

What's going on? Aren't you going to sleep by yourself? Li Yuan couldn't believe it, and his stomach was full of questions.

But she didn't ask again, and Heyi climbed onto the kang and lay down, unable to fall asleep.

What will it look like tomorrow?

…………

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning live in the master bedroom of this house.

It's not that Gulchige gave him the master bedroom. Rather, Gulchige still retains the traditions of Mongolian herders and is only willing to live in tents. Therefore, he obviously has a big house, but he wants to set up a tent in the backyard.

"What do you think of this Li Yuan?" Li Luo asked in a whisper.

Cui Xiuning replied: "He is relatively stubborn, assertive, good at forbearance, and his background is not simple." ”

Li Luo said: "Can I take a girl...... No, can you take in a righteous sister? ”

Cui Xiuning sneered: "I guessed what you want to do." Hey, what a man who lacks family affection, pathetic. ”

Li Luo whispered: "I want to marry her in the future......"

Cui Xiuning shook her head: "You really think so?" Even if you really think so, how much do you think marriage will do? Guo Zixing married his goddaughter to Zhu Yuanzhang, but they got married. But didn't Zhu Yuanzhang still rob his son of the handsome position? ”

Li Luo choked, and suddenly found that the motive of the so-called "recognizing sister marriage" was just an excuse for himself to take in Li Yuan.

He Li Luo does not need to rely on marriage in exchange for cooperation and loyalty.

In ancient times, there were many cases of using sisters and daughters to marry to consolidate interests, but there were few commendable cases of marriage effects.

Cui Xiuning continued: "You, you have no family affection since you were a child, and you are very eager for family affection. So you can happily recognize your father-in-law, and now you want to recognize a sister. ”

"Of course, you are also very visionary, and you will not recognize your relatives indiscriminately. Her surname is Li, and her name is Jianghe, and your name is like a pair of brothers and sisters. Plus she's pitiful and has a bit of a background, of course, the main thing is that she's good-looking......"

Li Luo hurriedly covered Cui Xiuning's mouth and said in her ear: "You are very smart, what you said is right." But the only thing that's wrong is that I'm not because she's good-looking, no matter how good-looking she is, can she still be as good-looking as you? I'm telling you, you missed a point, you ignored my compassion. ”

Cui Xiuning pulled Li Luo's hand away, "A man's compassion for a beautiful woman is almost pure. Of course, I pity her, and I don't just pity her. ”

"I also want to take her away from the sea of suffering by the way, so I don't object to your idea. But I have one request. Cui Xiuning is very serious.

Li Luo said: "You say." ”

Cui Xiuning said: "Li Yuan's matter, leave it to me to deal with." If you really want to form a brother and sister, then it should be a brother and a sister, can you do it? ”

Li Luo sighed, "Madam." You're underestimating me, really. ”

"Okay. I'm just getting a shot. Cui Xiuning smiled, "Li Yuan is not very old, and he is still malleable. I'll test and tempt tomorrow to see how good her heart is. If it's not a problem, just train her. If there is a problem with the mind, then there is no need to say anything. ”

ps: Li Yuan, it must be useful, don't like it to understand. Ask for all kinds of support.
