Wang Yuan frowned and was silent, Huang Ying begged in a low voice: "Brother Wang, let Sister Lan stay, she is very good, teach me to read, teach me to be a female celebrity, and teach me to play the piano." How pitiful is Sister Lan alone? We're all gone, won't she be bullied alone in Yong'an Fang? ”

Wang Yuan looked at Li Xin'er and Gongsun Lan, Gongsun Lan didn't know what was going on at all, naturally she didn't have any expression, Li Xin'er saw Wang Yuan looking at herself asking for advice, her heart was a lot more comfortable, she didn't want this Qinglou woman to stay here, but she looked quite pitiful when she looked at her, and she couldn't open her mouth to refuse.

"You are the head of the family, and we don't make decisions for you." Li Xin'er slid for a while and kicked the ball away.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Okay, Miss Nalan will stay, it is indeed lonely to live alone in Yong'an Fang, our house is a little broken, but fortunately, it is very big, there are fewer people and no one is popular, and it is lively when there are more people." ”

Huang Ying applauded and shouted: "That's it, that's it, Sister Lan stayed, I'm happy, Sister Lan, do you still want to teach me to write and play the piano every day?" ”

Huang San frowned and shouted: "There are no rules, what's so good about writing?" What does you do playing the piano? In the future, you and your little sister will have to take care of things well, but it's not the daughter who let you come. Erlang is embarrassed to say you, you don't want to fly into the sky by yourself. ”

Huang Ying pouted and stopped talking, Li Xin'er glanced at Huang San gratefully, Huang San seemed to be training his sister, but he was actually talking to Lan Xinhui, reminding Lan Xinhui to put herself in the right position, but don't think that she is here to be the master.

……

From the second day, everything gradually fell back into place.

In the first three days, the two courtyards of the back house were basically cleaned up; Three days ago, the house and front yard were basically cleaned up; For another three days, the messy back garden was also renewed. Ten days later, the collapsed courtyard wall around the mansion and the barren grass on the periphery began to be officially cleared.

Every day, Wang Yuan has to go back and forth between the market and the mansion, a cart of things is moved to the house, and more than a hundred savings are also decreasing day by day. It was only at this time that Wang Yuan knew how huge the expenses and expenses of a big family were. As the saying goes, if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how important money is when you become the head of the family.

Fortunately, Gongsun Lan quietly gave Li Xin'er some valuables and asked her to exchange them for copper coins for her family, so that the situation of financial constraints eased down. Wang Yuan knew it, but he no longer always thanked him, this house was bought with Gongsun Lan's money, what else is there to say? In short, in the future, I will pay it back with interest. Besides, it's also a cousin and cousin relationship, so isn't it so clear?

The ladies in the house are very hard, the little sisters of the Huang family are experts in the work at hand, after the heavy work, the cleaning and cleaning of the courtyard inside and outside the courtyard and other things are done by the two of them, and they never complain about being tired. What surprised Wang Yuan even more was Lan Xinhui, from the day after that day came, Lan Xinhui tied her hair and changed into men's clothes and began to do rough work. A pair of thin hands playing the piano held the rough lawn mowing sickle, and a pair of Rouyi who held the pen also had close contact with the thick vine thatch, and after only half a day, blood was dripping and dozens of bloody wounds were cut.

When Wang Yuan learned about it, he rushed to stop her and told her that she didn't need to work, just send tea and water, but Lan Xinhui was very stubborn, as if she wanted to prove something, and gritted her teeth and insisted. Wang Yuan had no choice but to ask Huang Ying to sew a pair of gloves from old cloth for Lan Xinhui, and let Lan Xinhui protect her hands. Wang Yuan didn't want to see Lan Xinhui's hands turn into rough carrot-like appearance next time, if the original Lan Xinhui supporters of the Qiuyue Pavilion knew that Lan Xinhui had actually become a peasant woman doing rough work in her own home, ruining two petal-like tender hands, I was afraid that she would lead people to chase and kill her all over the city.

The worst is the Iron Boss's group of coolies. If you say that you are a slave, you are no different from a prisoner. They get up early every day and work in the dark dragging chains and shackles, and they are all responsible for the heavy work. Although Huang San also got up early and worked hard in the dark, after all, there was only one person, and the rest were women, so heavy work would not come in handy. Wang Yuan is a master, so naturally he doesn't stretch out his hands.

On the fifth day, the Iron Boss, who had suffered this kind of sin, finally forgot his current identity and broke out, and after scolding before going to bed at night, he quietly organized a small strike, and tricked the rest of the people to lie together the next morning that they had a stomachache and could not work.

As a result, things became out of control, and the overseer Huang San didn't have any tricks to deal with, but the woman in white, who was all called cousin, left extremely dark memories in their lives.

It turned out that Gongsun Lan heard Boss Tie shouting about stomach pain, and came over to ask Boss Tie how their stomach hurts, where the pain is, so they can take medicine to treat it. The iron boss didn't know how to advance or retreat, and deliberately pointed to the lower abdomen, with some obscene meaning in his eyes. Gongsun Langdon was furious, drew his sword and tried to cut open the belly of the iron boss, saying that he would cure him, and cut off the painful part of him.

Iron Boss didn't expect things to be so troubled that he had to cut his stomach, so he was so frightened that he begged for mercy, kowtowed and rolled and scolded himself for not being human, admitting that he pretended to have a stomachache. Gongsun Lan didn't insist on cutting his stomach, but tied him to a tree and smoked thirty rattans, beat him to the flesh, and tied him to the tree for a whole day.

That night, the iron boss was in unbearable pain all over his body, thinking about what happened in the past few days, not only broke a hand, but also had to work hard all day long, and was beaten by a woman, and he also asked his father to beg for mercy. What's even more disappointing is that the treasure that I have been looking for for so many years has not even dug up a copper plate, and I still fell into this field. In the middle of the night, I finally couldn't think about it, and while others were asleep, I quietly got up and strangled myself by hanging on the door with a straw rope.

Everyone was so tired from the day's work that they slept like pigs after eating, and in the middle of the night they didn't even hear the piercing sound of chains when the iron boss struggled before he died. When they got up in the morning, when everyone saw the terrifying appearance of the iron boss's eyes wide and purple and swollen, they were so frightened that they exploded. When I killed others, I felt that I was being a pig and a dog, and when it was my turn, I realized that death was so terrible.

Since that day, the remaining eight people have never been a moth, but if they are told, they will immediately do it silently, and no one dares to say more than half a word of complaint, just looking at Wang Yuan and the eyes of the Wang family are even more fierce and vicious, like a vicious wolf who only chooses people to devour.

Wang Yuan was a civilized man, but in this barbaric era, he knew that if he insisted on some moral views of later generations, he might not live for three days, so he acquiesced to this behavior. In fact, even if he didn't acquiesce, he couldn't object, because Gongsun Lan was the only person in this mansion who was not under his control. Other people may be able to influence their behavior, but only Gongsun Lan cannot.

Moreover, the relationship between Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan is developing rapidly at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and the so-called visible to the naked eye is not an exaggeration, it is truly visible to the naked eye. For example, Huang Xing, the younger sister of the Huang family, saw the brother of the Wang family and Gongsun Lan pulling and pulling hand in hand on the grass on the side of the house, I don't know what to do? The Wang family's brother had a hippie smile on his face, and although the cousin's expression was a little angry, it was by no means angry anger, but like a kind of flirtatious scolding.

Huang Xing shared the news with her sister Huang Ying, Huang Ying first reprimanded Huang Xing for being troublesome, and she herself was very depressed afterwards, although it is not surprising that there is something between cousins and cousins, but it seems that I heard that this cousin has become a relative, and the brother of the Wang family has also become a relative, so it seems that there is something inappropriate to do so.

Of course, Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan don't know this, the truth of the matter is that Wang Yuan was quite tired during this time, and after a few days, his body was very tired, and he cried out with back pain; So when Gongsun Lan saw his painful appearance, she taught Wang Yuan some simple methods to invigorate blood and relieve muscles, hoping to help Wang Yuan recover from his exhaustion.

And this scene became a pull and pull in Huang Xing's eyes, and it became even more unbearable in Huang Ying's ears, in fact, it was all false, even if it reached Li Xin'er's ears, Li Xin'er would laugh at it, because she knew about it, and it was Gongsun Lan who she begged to teach Wang Yuan some simple body methods to avoid fatigue.

But if Wang Yuan didn't take advantage of this opportunity to be careless, and there was a blank slate between him and Gongsun Lan, it would be untrue. Although Gongsun Lan did not pretend to be unpretentious, Wang Yuan's intentional or unintentional behavior of touching his hands and feet when he was studying was miraculously acquiesced, and the two were in a subtle feeling, and then developed to the point that they always came to the grass automatically without greeting them before dinner after work every day and began to practice. Body. I don't know how to learn the exercises, in short, the fatigue on Wang Yuan's body is really gone, after a moment of ambiguity on the grass, Wang Yuan is immediately in good spirits, and his whole body is swollen, no, it should be said that his body is full of strength.

Wang Yuan didn't know that he still had this hobby, although Gongsun Lan had never really expressed any intimacy to herself, but a desire that Wang Yuan had ignited since he first saw her gradually had the possibility of realizing it, which made Wang Yuan quite fulfilled.

The days passed quickly, half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the inside and outside of the house also changed greatly, and after the wall was repaired, the whole house began to show a magnificent momentum. The front yard and the front house, the back house and the left and right courtyards plus the neat and tidy back garden, this is a standard mansion. The surrounding barren meadows were also harvested, and long thatch, withered branches and thorns were bundled up and a dozen large haystacks were piled up for fuel.

Twenty-seven skeletons were found while sorting out the wastelands, all of whom were unjustly killed here, all of whom the Five Guards and their descendants had killed in order to occupy the place. This is still the part of the body that was exposed here, and I don't know how many of the rest were buried or discarded elsewhere. Some of the suspicious graves on the pine hill to the east are most likely the souls of another group who died here.

After all this was cleaned up, Wang Yuan's mood was greatly improved, although it would take a long time for the house to reach his satisfaction, but at least it would basically meet the requirements of living from now on.

The rest, such as the repair of the gatehouse, the building of more than a dozen collapsed inner walls in the house, and the filling of a large number of potholes, all need to be solved slowly and the same. Others, such as Li Xin'er's proposal to repair the pavilion in the back garden, plant plums and flowers, pond fish farming, etc.; Another example is the eldest sister Huang Ying's proposal to open up wasteland outside the house to grow vegetables and melons, etc., which is even more simple and easy.
