Li Zicheng frowned slightly, and couldn't figure out the other party's intentions for a while, could it be that there are merchants to help students now? He asked, "Who is the seller?" Why not silver? ”

Sun Lin bowed and replied: "The seller's name is Mu Qingshan, and his subordinates don't know, he just said that he supports the adults to run a school in Xining." ”

"Mu Qingshan?" Li Zicheng's mind spun quickly, and he found that there was no such person in his impression, "Who is he?" ”

"He is a merchant in Xining, and it is said that he is the number one among the merchants in Xining City."

Li Zicheng nodded slightly, turned around and whispered a few words to Ren Erxi, Ren Erxi bowed in response, turned around and left.

Sun Lin was confused and stood in place, but Li Zicheng smiled, "Go, go back." He was originally going to find some soldiers to clean the house and start teaching as soon as possible, but Mu Qingshan, who was inexplicable, gave up cleaning for the time being, and it was not too late to make plans after figuring out the ins and outs of the matter.

Back at the back office, Sun Lin saw that Li Zicheng was going back, so he hurriedly bowed down and asked, "My lord, the second sister has brought the students and temporarily lived in the back office, my lord will see where to place them?" ”

"Let's do this first, arrange the daily meals, don't wronged them!" Li Zicheng thought that these things were originally He Xiaomi's, but He Xiaomi stayed in Zhenhai Fort, and he was not very comfortable for a while, so he said to another small flag officer, Lei Wanjun: "Tell Liu Yunshui and let him send an instructor to Zhenhai Fort to train soldiers and replace He Xiaomi." ”

"Yes, sir."

Li Zicheng returned to Houya's home, Song Yulian and Chen Qiudie were already waiting, seeing Li Zicheng, the two got up together, Song Yulian smiled and said lightly: "The adults haven't eaten, right?" Do you want to have a meal? ”

Chen Qiudie flew over to Li Zicheng, and stood at a distance of only one step from Li Zicheng, "My lord...... Your Excellency is back so early today? The maid can only come back when the adult wants to fight again, and when the mother was cooking just now, the maid also stole a steamed bun......"

"If you're hungry, you have to eat," Li Zicheng pulled her into his arms and scraped his nose, "Just eat more, eat more to grow faster, especially staple steamed buns!" ”

Chen Qiudie thought about it for a while, so she had to lie in Li Zicheng's arms and refuse to get up, until her mother called for dinner, and then went to the dinner table with a red face.

Song Yulian's mother and daughter entered the house, Li Zicheng never treated them as slaves, and the meals were all at the same table, at the beginning, Song Yulian was very uncomfortable, but after a long time, she got used to it, she was born as the wife of a large family, this kind of scene does not need to be taught, it will be handled properly, Chen Qiudie was originally a young lady, and when she arrived at the Li family, she was basically still a young lady, but she had one more coquettish object, and her small mouth was not idle when she ate, "My lord, those women in the back office, are they slaves who were bought?" ”

"Slave? Aren't you and your mother my slaves? What do you want these slaves to do? Li Zicheng put bamboo chopsticks on her small mouth a little, "Hurry up and eat, why do you care so much?" ”

Where can Chen Qiudie eat with peace of mind, just after eating two bites, she suddenly said: "The maid understands, the adults bought them back, but they slept at night?" ”

"Bedchamber?" Li Zicheng's mouth full of steamed bun crumbs almost squirted out, "What are you thinking about with your little head?" With you and your mother's servant, what am I buying so many women for? Looking at Song Yulian, she saw that Song Yulian was staring at her daughter with a red face, so she smiled and said, "Although these women are not bought to serve in bed, they are my treasures!" ”

"Just say it!" Chen Qiudie looked at the white eyes of her mother and said faintly: "These women don't look very good, they are better than maids...... It's far worse than the maid's mother! ”

"You girl, where do you want to go?" Li Zicheng put down the bamboo chopsticks and twisted them on her little face, "They are students, they are here to study, unlike you, what do you think all day long?" ”

Chen Qiudie hurriedly stuffed a piece of steamed bun into her mouth, and protested: "They are the same as the maids, they are all women, what do you want to learn?" ”

"You don't understand this," Li Zicheng put down her face, but said: "They are all selected by Lord Ben from the nearby herdsmen, and they will be taught by Lord Ben himself, in the future, they will all become gentlemen, and pass on the knowledge they have learned to others, and Lord Ben will pay them, at least two taels a month!" ”

"Two taels?" This amount of silver is not too much for Chen Qiudie, but women can also make money, which makes her a little puzzled, "My lord, did they do that?" ”

"What's that? What's the matter? Li Zicheng collapsed Chen Qiudie's brain, "Thinking about these crooked ways all day long, they are upright people and eat with knowledge!" ”

"Huh?" Chen Qiudie touched the "wound": "My lord, are they really gentlemen?" What did they learn? Isn't it just knowing a few words? What's the big deal? ”

"Yes, they will be literate in the future, but what about you? Are you literate? ”

Chen Qiudie, after thinking about it, finally nodded fiercely, "My lord, that maid also has to learn!" ”

"What do you think about all day long? Still want to read and write? Li Zicheng shook his head, "You still have to study hard with your mother, how to be a good slave is serious." ”

"No, the maid wants to learn," Chen Qiudie disagreed, and set her eyes on Song Yulian, "Mother, you help me tell the adults, if the adults don't agree, ...... at night Don't let him in at night......"

"Butterfly, what nonsense?" Song Yulian was a little angry, seeing Li Zicheng chuckling, glaring at Chen Qiudie fiercely, before she lowered her head to eat, and a red glow flew out of her cheeks.

After dinner, Song Yulian cleaned up the dishes, but Li Zicheng followed Chen Qiudie to the inner room, "Die'er, what do you do at home every day?" ”

"My lord, the servant understands, from now on, the servant must also read and write," Chen Qiudie's little eyes blinked, "If the servant is stupid and forgets the words taught by the adult, the adult will not scold the servant, right?" ”

"I'm going to scold you, I've already scolded you," Li Zicheng sat down on the wooden chair, stretched out his hand, and dragged Chen Qiudie into his arms, "Come, let the adults see, how is your cotton peach looking?" ”

Chen Qiudie suddenly had a bitter face, "My lord, the servant eats a lot every day, but ...... However, it has not grown, and how long will it take to ......"

The cotton peach is really still hard, there is no sign of softness, Li Zicheng withdrew his hand, held her little face, and pecked lightly on the forehead, "Butterfly is obedient, it is growing, it is estimated that it will be two or three years, and it will be about the same." ”

"Two or three years?" Chen Qiudie suddenly took a cool breath, "How can it be so long?" I heard from my mother that she started serving my father at the age of fourteen......"

"Silly girl, everyone is different," Li Zicheng stroked her head and put her down, "Okay, don't think about these all day, eat more and exercise more!" ”

"Remember,!" Chen Qiudie was a little reluctant to leave Li Zicheng's broad chest, but she left the inner room behind Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng gently entered the outer room, Song Yulian had just finished cleaning up, and was stunned, thinking about what work had not been done, and was startled by Li Zicheng, "My lord, ......"

She knew that Li Zicheng had been out these days, and the internal fire must be strong, so she made some preparations, and even kept the door of the room, and when she saw Li Zicheng enter the room, she was both happy and a little disappointed.

She has become Li Zicheng's maidservant, if she wants to refuse Li Zicheng, it is impossible, the key is Chen Qiudie, Die'er looked at Li Zicheng's eyes, it is the age of attachment, she still hopes that Li Zicheng can accompany Die'er more, even if it is ......

Seeing that Li Zicheng was looking at her silently, the internal fire had already poured out of her eyes#, she was a person who came over, how could she not understand the etiquette? Thinking of Die'er, it was the ghost who sent the god to say: "My lord, why don't you have Die'er today?" ”

"Butterfly?" Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Die'er is still young, how can you be such a mother?" Seeing that Song Yulian didn't seem to shirk, she said, "Otherwise, let Die'er come over at night......

"My lord......" Song Yulian was startled, "How can this be ......?"

"What's wrong with that?" Li Zicheng smiled evilly: "Haven't you already taught Die'er?" Let her learn more, maybe her body will grow faster......" Without waiting for Song Yulian to speak, she had already withdrawn from the outer room.

Song Yulian is thirty years old, able to serve Li Zicheng, that is her blessing, thinking about those women in the fruit building, she feels that she has been cultivated in several lifetimes, her only heart knot is Die'er, after all, Li Zicheng is Die'er's father-in-law, in the future, she will have a house, and she will have another man and half woman, she will definitely have an identity, as Die'er's mother, that is how should she face Die'er?

Although Die'er already knows about the matter between her and Li Zicheng, Die'er is still young now, if she understands what is going on in the future, will she be resentful?

Hearing Li Zicheng's thoughts, Song Yulian's blood suddenly surged, her heart beat violently, and she could feel the sound of heavy impact through the cotton clothes.

However, she soon calmed down, she, like Die'er, is Li Zicheng's handmaid, that is, a slave, what does Li Zicheng want to do, can she refuse and resist?

At that time, in order to save Die'er, didn't she stuff Die'er, who was only thirteen years old, into Li Zicheng's bed? If Li Zicheng eats butterflies, will she say half a "no"? With the situation at that time, I'm afraid I still have to be grateful to Li Zicheng!

What if adults don't want themselves? Won't there be any other woman like this in the future? Let's just say that those women recruited by the Houya, although the adults say it well, aren't there one or two of them who are liked by the adults?

Maybe the three of them make a bed today, but it can make Die'er really see it, not that she wants to rob Die'er's father-in-law, but that her father-in-law has found herself, speaking of which, adults are not Die'er's father-in-law now......

Thinking of this, Song Yulian couldn't help but laugh "poof", it happened that Li Zicheng came in with Chen Qiudie in his arms, heard the laughter, and whispered to Die'er: "I said your mother won't object, right?" Listen, seeing that you are happy to come, it is too late for your mother to rejoice......"
