Ma Yun shouted angrily: "You are so bold, you dare to openly abduct and sell children!" ”

The two women looked at each other, not knowing why she was so angry, and said tremblingly: "Mrs. Hui, these people are definitely not abducted by villains, they are all children of poor families, and the family can't live anymore, so they have to sell their sons and daughters, all of them are voluntary." The villains knew that it was Lord Taishou who wanted to buy slaves and maids, so we deliberately picked some honest ones. ”

Ma Yun realized that she had made the wrong time again, and thought she was in the police station, but she was also pitiful when she looked at the more than ten children, the oldest was only twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old. She had only planned to buy three or four maids and slaves, but at this time, her heart relented, and she actually bought all these children. But the women did not dare to ask for a price, a total of eight women, four boys, and twelve children, each of whom only needed five hundred copper coins. Ma Yun counted out six thousand yuan, sent the tooth woman away, and took the children directly to Liu Xin's study.

Liu Xin looked at the children Ma Yun bought back and couldn't help laughing: "Wife, you have this vision, this is the person you picked back, I look like they are all half-grown children, can you do things?" ”

Ma Yun said unconvinced: "Ya Po only brought these children, I saw that they were pitiful, so I bought them all, anyway, you are not bad for money." ”

At this time, a little girl said, "Master, we can do laundry and cooking, so you can leave us." If no one buys us in another month, we will be sold to the Qinglou and become prostitutes, sir, have mercy and save us. ”

Liu Xin looked at this little girl carefully, about twelve or thirteen years old, but she was also born delicate, but she was a little thinner, and her face was not bloody, and it was estimated that her nutrition was not very good, so she said: "Xiaozui can still say it, what's its name?" How old is this year? ”

"My name is Erya, and I'm fourteen years old this year."

"Alright, then you can all stay. Since you know how to do laundry and cook, you can cook lunch today. Liu Xin turned to Ma Yun again, "Wife, you take them down to settle down first, it is estimated that there is no firewood, rice, oil and salt in this house, you give them some money, let them go to the street to buy it back, and make lunch first." Come over in a moment, I have something to say to you. ”

Ma Yun took the group of children out for only a moment, then turned back and sat down beside Liu Xin angrily, without speaking.

Liu Xin put down the scroll in his hand and asked strangely, "What?" And angry. Arranged so quickly? ”

Ma Yun glanced at him and said, "I'm not angry, it should be you who is angry." You are the Taishou of Hejian, the parent official here, you look at these children, how old they are, they can only be sold into slavery, are you really going to let them be slaves at home? ”

Liu Xin stroked Ma Yun's fragrant shoulder, handed her a teacup, and said, "Good wife, you have worked hard with me during this time, I will toast you with tea instead of wine first, and you will dissipate your anger first." ”

Ma Yun was also not polite, took the teacup and drank it all, and said, "I asked Dian Wei to take those children to the street to buy vegetables." ”

Liu Xincha had just drunk half of it, and when he heard Ma Yun's words, he imagined a strong man with a height of two meters, carrying a vegetable basket, and taking a group of children around the vegetable market.

Ma Yun said angrily: "Why are you like this, what's so funny." After speaking, he grabbed Liu Xin's robe as a towel and wiped the tea on his face.

"Okay, okay, I don't laugh, I don't laugh." Liu Xin gently hugged Ma Yun and said, "Come, let's get down to business." It turned out that my original intention was to take the lid of my father-in-law's box and go to Liu Chong to get some money back, and then find a peaceful place to buy a piece of land, build a house, and live in peace. Who knows what happened by mistake, I didn't get much money, but I made a big shou, and the future will not be peaceful. ”

Ma Yun wiped her face clean and said, "No matter what you do, I'll just follow you." ”

Liu Xin said: "You listen to me finish speaking. I began to think of Changshan County, I wanted to find Zhao Yun as a helper, and now that Dian Wei is by my side, I am not in a hurry. But I still made a mistake, it is now 182, and in 184, that is, in the spring of the year after tomorrow, there will be a Yellow Turban Uprising, and the leader of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Jiao, is a native of Julu County, Jizhou, which should not be too far away, and Jizhou is also a central area of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and it seems that we only have a year of stability. ”

Liu Xin took a sip of water and continued: "Even this year, I'm afraid that my son will not be stable. Have you paid attention to Li Cheng and Zhang Jun today, they are the second and third leaders in Hejian. Hejian has been Li Cheng's acting Taishou for half a year, and today Li Cheng has said a lot of flattery, but Zhang Jun has not said a word. Besides, as a taishou, there are only two sergeants at the door, and there is not even a single subordinate in this taishou mansion. Also, I don't believe that Ya Po has only these children for sale. According to my analysis of these circumstances, Li Cheng covered the sky with one hand in the river, and he wanted to give me a dismount. Of course, he doesn't dare to blatantly kill me, a Shangguan, but he will definitely find a way to get rid of me. ”

Ma Yun pondered for a while and said, "Husband, your analysis makes sense. Since he wants to give us a horse, let's set him on fire!" In addition, I think Li Cheng and Zhang Jun are not very harmonious, so they can also take advantage of it. ”

"Well, we have to think about this in the long run, and I don't want to be a puppet in the river. You also have to adapt as soon as possible, now is not the 21st century, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Xin nodded and said.

The two sat down again, looking through a bunch of books sent by Li Cheng, while discussing countermeasures, and even lunch was solved in the study. The kids cook well, but it's not tasty.

For a whole afternoon, the two of them spent in the study, they had no experience in officialdom, discussed for an afternoon, and only came to one conclusion, in order to take back control of Hejian from Li Cheng's hands, they need to have their own forces, and at present, they can only be with Li Cheng, and they can secretly recruit some talents for their own use. As for what kind of talent is needed, because there is a fierce general like Dian Wei here, Liu Xin is not a weak scholar, and both of them think that a few strategists are urgently needed. Liu Xin made up her mind and was ready to find an opportunity to talk to Zhang Jun first. After the discussion stopped, Liu Xin ordered to have dinner early, rest well in the evening, and meet Li Cheng, Zhang Jun and all the subordinate officials tomorrow.

After dinner, Liu Xin came to the backyard and began to practice, and when he came down with a fist, he found that Erya was standing next to him, and Ma Yun didn't watch him boxing as usual. Liu Xin asked strangely, "What about Madam?" ”

Erya replied: "Madame is a little tired and wants to rest early, so she went back to the room to bathe." Has the master finished boxing? Slaves and maids wait for the master to bathe. ”

Although Liu Xin said that Ma Yun should adapt as soon as possible, she couldn't adapt to taking a bath, so she let a little girl serve beside her, so she waved her hand and said, "You don't need you here, you go and take care of Madame, I'll just take care of it myself." ”

Liu Xin returned to the back house and saw that the lights were still on in the house, so he walked in lightly. The second girl who was sitting in the outer room saw Liu Xin coming in and was about to stand up and salute, Liu Xin stopped her and quietly walked into the inner room, only to see Ma Yun sitting on the edge of the bed with her head down.

"Aren't you tired? Why don't you go to bed early? Liu Xin walked over, took her in his arms, and asked with concern.

"I'm not tired, I'm waiting for you. These children have finally had a full meal today, and they all seem to be having a good time here. Ma Yun bit her lip and continued, "We've been together for more than a month. I also want to have a baby. ”

For more than a month, although they called each other husbands and wives, in fact, they only hugged each other and kissed each other, and there were no further substantive actions. By the candlelight, Liu Xin saw a red glow flying on Ma Yun's face, and a faint fragrance like blue musk came, and he knew that Ma Yun was emotional.

Liu Xin didn't answer her words, but like a trick, she didn't know where to take out a small box and handed it to Ma Yun: "Give it to you." ”

"Sent to me?" Ma Yun took the box, a little strange.

Liu Xin encouraged: "Well, you open it and take a look." ”

Ma Yun opened it gently, but inside was a pair of gold rings.

"How's that, do you like it?" Liu Xin took out a ring, pulled Ma Yun's left hand, put it on her ring finger, and asked softly.

"I like it." Ma Yun stroked the ring, her eyes flashed with tears and asked, "When did you buy it, why don't I know." ”

Liu Xin picked up the other one, put it on the ring finger of his left hand, looked at Ma Yun affectionately and said, "I didn't buy it, I made it myself." I've been learning jewelry processing for a while, but I haven't done it for a long time, and I don't have the right tools, so I look ugly, so I'll wear it, and I'll definitely buy you a better one in the future. ”

Ma Yun suddenly threw herself into Liu Xin's arms, and tears flowed down: "No! It's the most beautiful ring I've ever seen. ”

Liu Xin gently wiped her tears and said, "It's so decent, why are you crying?" ”

"I didn't cry, I was so happy." Ma Yun snuggled tightly in Liu Xin's arms.

"Wife, our situation is special, I can't give you a luxurious and grand wedding. But I promise that I will never live up to you in this life and this life. Now let's hold a wedding without a host, no family and friends, no witnesses, just you and me! Liu Xin grabbed Ma Yun's hands tightly and said, "I would like to promise you that from today onwards, whether it is good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, I will always love you and cherish you until the earth is desolate." ”

Ma Yun was speechless for a while. When she was rescued by Liu Xin five years ago, she began to have a crush on this tall and handsome boy; When she found out that Liu Xin turned out to be a thief, her heart was full of disappointment; When she learned that she and Liu Xin had traveled to the Eastern Han Dynasty together, she knew that she would never be able to adapt to this patriarchal society, and she didn't know if she had the courage to survive if she married other men, and being with Liu Xin, who was also from the 21st century, could only be a helpless choice; And when she knew Liu Xin's past and what Liu Xin did, especially when Liu Xin pushed her away in the face of the tiger, she understood that she was really in love with him and couldn't extricate herself. But this bad guy kept saying that he was looking for Minchan and Er Qiao, and he didn't know if it was true or not, and he didn't know if he had himself in his heart. didn't expect Liu Xin to come up with such a romantic show, happiness always came too fast, so she couldn't adapt to it for a while.
