Chapter 35: Guilt for Correspondence
"What do you think of these three shopkeepers?" After the three shopkeepers left, Feng Xiyan took a sip of the tea sent by his subordinates, and said to Mo Lan slowly.
Mo Lan was a fledgling and didn't understand a lot of things, but at the beginning, it was already the best result to be like this, but Feng Xiyan was still not satisfied, because she felt that Mo Lan's growth speed was too slow and she couldn't keep up with the progress of their plan, so she had to force Mo Lan.
Mo Lan lowered her head and thought for a while before raising her head to look at Feng Xiyan and speak.
"The shopkeeper of the teahouse in charge talks a lot, but the most talked about tea is about tea, so you arranged for him to be in charge of the teahouse, and the shopkeeper in charge of clothing ......."
Speaking of this, Mo Lan hesitated a little, and only continued after raising her eyes to see Feng Xiyan's encouraging eyes.
"The slave saw that although he didn't talk much, he was quite particular about dressing, compared with the other two shopkeepers, the tips of his shoes were clean, and the slave maid thought, this shopkeeper, you should arrange him to dress according to this."
"As for the last shopkeeper, it's very simple, he accidentally exposed his hand, a jade wrench, and a bracelet on his wrist, so you arrange for him to go to a jewelry store."
After speaking, Mo Lan looked at Feng Xiyan nervously and expectantly, and her hands involuntarily clenched together.
Seeing this, Feng Xiyan burst out laughing and said with satisfaction.
"Yes, I know more and more about observing words and feelings, what you just said is very right, the arrangement of the three of them, I am arranged according to some characteristics of them, because it is difficult to understand a person in a short time, so I can only understand through some characteristics of them, and habits will not deceive people."
"The slave and maid understand." Mo Lan replied with a touching nod.
"Well, okay, you let Ying Wei come in to see me, and then go buy some snacks, and we'll go back to the palace to eat."
Feng Xiyan has never been a person who will treat himself badly, and he finally sneaked out of the palace, no matter what, he still has to buy some snacks that he loves to eat.
"Yes, slave and maid will go." In the final analysis, Mo Lan is just a girl who is not much older than her, although she is forced to mature, she is still a little girl in her heart.
Watching Mo Lan bounce away, Feng Xiyan shook his head with a smile and doting.
"Brother Yan, you look for me." Ying pushed the door and walked in.
"Well, sit here, I have something to explain to you." Feng Xiyan smiled and stretched out his hand to point to the chair opposite.
Ying Wei did not hesitate, walked to the position indicated by Feng Xiyan and sat down, looking at her with an innocent face.
Feng Xiyan was looked at by his eyes for a while, this can't be blamed on her, if you want to blame it, you can only blame it for being too precocious, except for making fun of him, you will forget the fact that he is still a child at other times.
"Yes, have you ever been disappointed in Brother Yan?"
Ying was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and then slowly shook his head.
"Before, I promised you that as long as you helped me get money from my family to buy these shops to make money, I would help you settle the other children, but until now, I haven't done it."
At this point, Feng Xiyan is really guilty, she is not a person who doesn't talk much, but there is a reason for it, and in addition, using a child really makes her sleep, and she always feels guilty in her heart.
Seeing this, Ying waved his hand again and again: "Brother Yan, I am not disappointed in you, don't be sad, really, in fact, I am really happy...... I'm glad you came to see us ....... ”
It should be said that Feng Xiyan felt even more guilty in his heart, hey! What kind of sin did she do, to take advantage of a child!
"Before I came, I thought about how to settle you for a long time, but I thought about it and thought that it would be easy to settle you, but after thinking about it, what should you do? There must be a way out, so I thought about it for a long time and decided to send you to the academy. ”
This is what she thought about for a long time, and came up with the most suitable method, this group of children is still so young, it is the age of going to school, they should not waste doing nothing all day, only let them go to school and understand some truths, they will understand what kind of life they want to live in the future, and what kind of person they want to become.
"Academy?" This is something that should not even be thought of.
"Hmm." Feng Xiyan nodded, "It's the academy, I can place you, and let you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, but, I don't want to do this, you are all smart children, and you were forced to embark on this road because of the changes." ”
"I want you to go to the academy, learn to read and write with Mr., and understand that life in the world is not only about what is in front of you, but also about many meaningful things, for example, when you are successful in your studies, you can take the imperial examination, enter the court as an official, and use your ability to help those who are weak and helpless."
Such a thing, should not even dare to think about it, this is simply a fantasy for him, after the death of his parents, he was forced to grow up overnight, becoming the eldest brother of the group of fatherless and motherless children.
In order to survive, he became a thief and gangster that everyone despised, but when his parents were still there, he was a gifted student in the mouth of his husband, and he was expected to participate in the imperial examination, and he was expected to be able to enter the court as an official.
The expression on his face was tangled and complicated, both painful and expectant, and there was a faint feeling of homesickness, he raised his complicated eyes to look at Feng Xiyan, and muttered to himself.
"But...... Brother Yan...... Can I go back? I'm really still going to school...... Go to school? ”
Feng Xiyan walked to Ying Wei's side very distressed, reached out and grabbed his shoulder, forced him to look at her, and said to him firmly and unquestionably.
"If you can go back, why not, as long as you want, I can let you go back, as long as you are not willing to do nothing for the rest of your life."
Ying Dingding looked at Feng Xiyan's eyes, the emotions in his eyes kept changing, "Brother Yan...... Why help us? ”
Feng Xiyan was stunned for a moment, and then instantly understood, let go of the hand that grabbed Ying Wei's shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "I feel guilty, because I used you, I was trapped in an embattled place, no money, no one, I could only find another way to escape, and when I met you that day, I took advantage of you." ”
"So...... Does this make up for it? Ying Wei's eyes retreated, leaving a calm look, and the eyes that looked at her did not look like a fifteen-year-old child at all, but had the smell of Shangguan Candle.
"Sort of, half of it is to make up for it, and half of it is from sincerity, because I think we can all survive from a desperate situation, bloom from the cracks in the stones, and come to this world in vain."
