Chapter 19: Ah Yuan Help Me
If someone had come in at this time, they would have never imagined how chaotic the living room had just been.
Zhang Yuan's shout made these scholars return to their original gentle, courteous and frugal appearance.
After eating, Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked Luo Xiahong to take all these scholars away, and stayed in the Li Mansion alone.
"Brother Li, I came this time mainly for the nineteen servant girls who were entrusted to you to take care of before, I don't know how many people are left in the Li Mansion now."
Although this matter was explained to him by Zhang Yuan, Li Jian actually didn't take it to heart, there were just some handmaidens left and right, and so many years have passed.
I saw Li Jian frowning, and only after a moment did he open his mouth and say to Zhang Yuan.
"You have to ask the old slaves in the family about this matter, Ah Yuan, you once said that they are allowed to marry freely, and these things are also managed by the old slaves in the house, and I really don't know how many people are left now."
Li Jian's attitude did not make Zhang Yuan feel unhappy, there are more than 100 slaves in the Li family, how can these people Li Jian be the master of the family.
"It's okay, please ask Brother Li to invite the old man to ask."
Li Jian nodded, and went to find the old slave in person, this is still because of Zhang Yuan's attention, he has to ask in advance, if the old slave says something that may make Zhang Yuan unhappy, Li Jian should be prepared.
It didn't take long for Li Jian to walk into the living room with the old slave guarding the mansion.
"I've seen Zhang Gongzi."
Li Jian returned to his place and sat down, no longer silent, and returned the time for questioning to Zhang Yuan.
"How many of the nineteen maidservants I sent to the mansion before the old man are still in the mansion now?"
Li Jian also told the old slave what he wanted to ask him, and the old slave spat out without even thinking about it.
"Eight people, the rest have found a good match, and they have left the Li Mansion as a family."
There are a few people left, Zhang Yuan actually has no opinion, they have really found good people, which is not a good thing.
"Trouble the old man to find them all."
The old slave raised his head slightly and glanced at Li Jian, Li Jian nodded directly, and the old slave went down according to Zhang Yuan's words.
I have met Xiaoya once just now, Xiaoya's expression is more excited, others are not very easy to say, people who still want to follow Zhang Yuan in the past few years, Zhang Yuan will take them back to Chang'an, if they don't want to leave their hometown, it is human nature.
When all the eight maidservants gathered together, Zhang Yuan could only recognize Xiaoya, and the rest could only be said to be familiar.
I can only do this way, how can I think about how much affection others have for me.
"I've seen Childe."
Li Jian and the old slave had already retreated, and the eight maidservants saluted in unison when they saw Zhang Yuan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a few years ago, I had a bad fate, so in order to avoid affecting you, I temporarily placed you in the Li Mansion, promised that you could marry freely, and promised to get rid of your slavery status.
Now a few of you haven't left the Li Mansion, it just so happens that I have returned to Chengdu because of some things, and I have the opportunity to take all of you to Chang'an, I don't know if you are willing to return to Chang'an with me, if you don't want to, don't be reluctant, what you promised before still counts. ”
Everything has cause and effect, Zhang Yuan does not believe in Buddhism, but believes in cause and effect. Single
This time I came to the Li Mansion to solve this cause and effect.
After all, the previous days of Zhangfu were easy and pleasant, and the masters of the Li family didn't come to Chengdu City much, and the things they could do every day were very limited, and they lived a very relaxed life, but they couldn't find a sense of belonging.
Zhang Yuan proposed to take them to Chang'an, several people showed happy expressions on their faces, Xiaoya nodded vigorously, but there were still two people with hesitation on their faces, since the hesitation means that there are things in this place that they are difficult to give up.
"If you are willing, go back and pack your things, if you don't want to, I will tell the Li family that I will let you continue to stay in the Li Mansion in the future."
Xiao Ya and a few people happily ran back to pack their things, and there were still two people left in the hall.
"Childe, we..."
A big man just can't see the girl's family look twisted.
"If you have anything to say, I won't blame you, Childe."
"The two of us already have a crush, so we want to stay."
Getting married is bigger than anything else, and a family's ability to give a woman a sense of security is far greater than that of her son-in-law.
"It's okay, then congratulations to the two of you first, there is still some silver money here, you two can take it and divide it."
Zhang Yuan took out some broken gold from his arms and handed it to the two maidservants, and the two of them did not shirk because they knew some of Zhang Yuan's habits, and took the money and went down.
Xiao Ya and the others packed up their things and prepared to leave with Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan had no way to take them to the Taishou Mansion, nor could they always be with him, but temporarily let them stay in an inn, waiting for some officials of the mission to return to Chang'an tomorrow to report the situation of Shu County to Wang Hui, and let them bring Xiao Ya and them back to Chang'an by the way.
Li Jian kept sending Zhang Yuan to the gate of the Taishou Mansion, and there was a struggling expression on his face several times, seeing that Zhang Yuan was about to go in, he finally shouted.
"Ah Yuan."
Zhang Yuan also waited for Li Jian to call him, if there was nothing to ask for, it was originally just a matter of Li Jian coming alone, how could he let a large family come to Chengdu from Linqiong.
Turning around and smiling bitterly at Li Jian, Zhang Yuan grabbed ahead of Li Jian and spoke.
"Brother Li, you can tell me anything, I'm just a pedestrian, not as hand-eyed as you think.
I will definitely help if I can help, and if I can't help, please forgive Brother Li. ”
It is necessary to get vaccinated in advance, so as not to cause greater unpleasantness if the other person refuses to open his mouth.
"Ah Yuan, it's not a big deal, it's just that my father participated in the counterinsurgency during the Seven Kings Rebellion, beheaded more than 20 people and was awarded the thirteenth rank of the knighthood, and now his health is not good, and this title cannot be hereditary.
Our family's land is relatively good in Linqiong, and once something happens to my father, it is certain that the family will fall into the middle of the road.
I just want to beg Ah Yuan, you can take me to Chang'an, as long as you can go to the army to fight this head, you will also kill a few thieves to keep my family safe. ”
Zhang Yuan didn't know how the military exploits of the Han Dynasty were calculated, it seemed that the military merits of killing these people in the southwest were not much at all, and the Huns were the most killed. As for how to enter the army, I don't know anything, the people have to deal with the conscription and those slave soldiers, Zhang Yuan knows how to enter, and the regular army really doesn't know.
Shaking his head at Li Jian, Zhang Yuan said helplessly.
"Brother Li, I can't even figure out my feet, I really can't help you."
