Chapter 42: Brothers and Sisters (II)

Official slaves, the two main sources, sinners and prisoners of war, could be bought and sold. This Yue Che, Wei Yan thought about it carefully, Uncle Cheng did mention that there was such a person, but he was refuted by Wei Yan, and he didn't expect him to dare to escape by himself, it stands to reason that this kind of official slave should be executed, if it weren't for Xie Jiu's appearance, this girl might have been arrested and executed.

Wei Yan pondered and asked Xie Jiu: "Have you asked?" ”

"After asking, I asked Uncle Cheng to take a hundred yuan to their brothers and sisters and let them leave."

Wei Yan stroked his forehead with his hand and sighed, "They didn't leave, did they?" ”

Xie Jiu said "um", his expression was very innocent, and said: "I don't want to cause trouble for the family because of them, I asked Cheng Ming about it, their father, there is a reason for the crime, there is nothing wronged, the mother has died of illness, only the brother and sister were sentenced to slavery, a year ago, Li'er went to the teaching department because of her excellent appearance." ”

Wei Yan smiled, took Xie Jiu into his arms, and said: "Your original intention is right, it's just that if you think about it, the brother and sister have suffered so much, and now they finally have a place to live, and we are such easy-going and kind people...... Don't laugh, it's a fact! Our two people, in our family as slaves, is better than two people going out to beg for a living, looking at the appearance of the brothers and sisters, I'm afraid they won't do any heavy work, people are small, and it is very dangerous to go out with so much money. ”

Xie Jiu suddenly laughed, pushed Wei Yan, and said, "Then you go to talk to Yue Che, whether you want to take in their brothers and sisters, you decide." ”

"Oh!"

After Wei Yan agreed, looking at Xie Jiu's smile, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while, so he got up the next day and went to talk to the Yue brothers and sisters. ”

Unwilling to shout, Wei Yan stepped into the air, stumbled, and almost fell, but fortunately, this guy reacted quickly, supported it with his hand, and his expression looked suffocated.

Negligence, negligence, Xie Jiu is obviously soft-hearted and wants to take in other people's little brothers and sisters, obviously he has already found out the life experience of the little brothers and sisters, but because Wei Yan vetoed it before, he was afraid that he would oppose it, so he actually retreated into advance, so that Wei Yan himself was willing to take in others, insidious! Ya is too insidious!

Wei Yan wanted to go back to the bedroom to settle the account, but Xie Jiu sent Brother Zhao Xiao Lori to block the drive, Brother Zhao said, Mrs. still has to sleep, let the young master hurry up to deal with the matter of the Li'er brothers and sisters, and wait for him to make a decision.

Wei Yan's depressed, blocked, too blocked, not an ordinary block, it's quite a block! He treats Xie Jiu so sincerely, how can Xie Jiu still dig a pit for him to jump! It's not kind, it's too dark. Wei Yan was deceived by Xie Jiu's gentle appearance during this time, and forgot the lethality of this girl and the lesson of blood for a while.

cursed all the way, went to the main hall, and asked people to call the Li'er brothers and sisters. Since Xie Jiu came back from the palace, he has never let Li'er into the backyard, and Xie Jiu has not let her serve.

Wei Yan sat on a high position, looked at the little brothers and sisters standing below, and took a closer look, Yue Che was just short, in terms of age, he should be thirteen or fourteen years old, there was a trace of precociousness between his eyebrows, and his eyes were very calm. Li'er reversed her usual quiet and precocious appearance, standing timidly behind her brother, tugging at the corner of her brother's clothes, lowering her head, and occasionally sneaking a glance at Wei Yan, looking uneasy.

Wei Yan remained silent, looked at it silently for a while, and asked, "Yue Che, right?" Why don't you want to go, it's too little? As far as I can tell, it's enough for your brothers and sisters to go to the countryside and buy two acres of land. ”

Yue Che, a little child, is rare and not afraid of Wei Yan's condescension, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "In order to repay Madame's great kindness." My sister's injury was cured by my wife, and my sin was also exonerated by my wife, and my wife returned the contract to us, and my mother taught me that the grace of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. ”

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, and continued to ask, "What do you think of your father's sin?" ”

Yue Che said: "The son doesn't say anything about the father, I can't evaluate." ”

"Why escape? Why did you flee to my house? ”

Wei Yan's question made the precocious young man show fear in his eyes, and his eyes were red, but he still endured it and said: "It's not a place for people to live, it's hell there, I want to be a man, I don't want to be a walking corpse, I don't want to be someone else's toy, I and Li'er, I just want to live a life where we don't get beaten and don't be wantonly toyed with, and we can be slaves and maids." ”

Li'er was behind, crying, obviously related to his brother's words. Wei Yan refused to be soft-hearted, and continued: "As long as you are still a slave for a day, you may be beaten, only if you get rid of the status of a slave, can you not be beaten and scolded, let's go, take the hundred pieces given to you, and leave the Wei Mansion." ”

The young man raised his head and looked directly at Wei Yan, with the eyes and expressions like a little wolf, Wei Yan's face did not change, and he looked at the young man unsmoothly for a moment, showing his determination.

The young man finally bowed his head, knelt down, and said in a melancholy tone that did not match his age at all: "Please take in our brothers and sisters, the brothers and sisters in the house have said the mercy of the young master and the lady, I and Li'er, just want to find a place to live, we just want to live, we will never cause trouble for the young master and the lady, if we do anything wrong, the young master and the lady can be punished, we really have no other thoughts, just want to repay the lady, just want to live." Please, take us in! ”

Pulling Li'er to kneel down and kowtow together, Wei Yan stared at them expressionlessly, sighed for a long time, and said: "Okay, I promise you to stay, all the past things will be over, change your name, in the future, follow my surname Wei, and the Yue family will no longer have it." Got it? ”

"Thank you, young master! Wei Che understood. ”
