"What do you think of this young man? He is my grandson, and his name is Honolulu, and he is a very healthy young man, so it is better for you to marry him, and bear him a son, and then you can make them literate, and you can enlighten and enlighten them with your wisdom, and they may have hope, but you must not be known to Hardeman and the overseers, and if they know that you are literate, they will put you to death. Ma Lulian @ Conders Old Lady wrote.

Hearing Mrs. Ma Lulian's words, Ji Ran couldn't help but be startled, it turned out that what she said was hopeful, she actually wanted to marry his grandson herself, and then use her wisdom to educate the next generation?

"Girl, help, perhaps, you can start a new era of the Holy King? Maybe our tomorrow depends on you. After Ma Lulian finished writing this line, she actually kowtowed to Ji Ran.

Ji Ran was startled and quickly helped Ma Lulian up.

"Grandma, you are too polite, but I'm afraid I can't handle such a difficult task, so you better find someone else." Ji Ran politely refused.

"I know you may look down on my grandson, but he is a warrior." Ma Lulian explained to Ji Ran.

Ji Ran looked at the young man behind Mrs. Ma Lulian, he was indeed very energetic, his body was very strong, and the muscles all over his body also highlighted the lines of manhood, but Ji Ran really didn't plan to get married here, let alone have children in such a place.

Not to mention whether marrying Honolulu will cause Hardeman's anger, even if Hardeman acquiesces to this behavior, but, in terms of the environment here, it is not suitable for childbearing?

The environment here is so bad, the room smells musty, and if you are infected with some kind of virus or germ during childbirth, wouldn't it be life-threatening?

Ji Ran didn't want to have a baby in such a place.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I didn't look down on your grandson, it's just, I... I really don't have that plan yet. Ji Ran shook his head awkwardly and wrote on the ground.

Seeing Ji Ran's embarrassed look, Ma Lulian sighed regretfully, "Okay, I won't be embarrassed for you, it's just that I think this is the best arrangement." ”

Ji Ran was silent and did not reply.

Because after she rejected Honolulu, she found that the old lady Ma Lulian's expression was much darker, as if this was something that should not be done.

Ji Ran couldn't sleep all night, because she always felt that there was a pair of eyes around her staring at her.

Every time she turned over, she could always see Honolulu's eyes staring at her, he didn't speak, his straight eyes were a little scary, Ji Ran turned around, tried his best not to look at him, not to think about him, maybe it was because his euphemistic refusal hurt his self-esteem, so he would be so unwilling, right?

The next day, before dawn, the bell rang again.

The serfs were driven out like cattle and went to work outside.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, whether there is farm work in the field or not, they will not have a quiet time, sowing seeds in the spring, harvesting in the fall, and in the winter, they have to move stones to help Hardeman repair the tower and build the earth fort.

The world is not very peaceful now, and there are still many royalists on the mainland who support the remnants of the Holy King, who often wage war against the serfdom territory, and if they do not build their estates stronger, they may be sacked.

Hardeman's manor was almost as good as a castle, but he was not satisfied, and wanted to build taller towers, build stronger gates, and plunder more serfs to work for him.

The serfs left, and so did Honolulu, who stared at Ji Ran for a few seconds with a pair of big black eyes as he passed by him, until the overseer's leather whip whipped him hard, and then he left the room.

Ji Ran was left alone in the room again.

Soon after, the maid came again, and brought the same sumptuous breakfast, and every day it was different, and it was delicious and delicious.

Ji Ran ate a delicious breakfast, she wanted to know how Sen Feng was doing, she wanted to ask about the situation outside, but the maid was obviously very wary of her, she didn't say anything, just kept her head down.

Ji Ran looked at the maid's body very slender, which can be described as skinny and bone-like, this is definitely not for weight loss, but a sick figure caused by long-term malnutrition.

Every time Ji Ran dined, the maid looked at her with a bit of longing in her eyes, that was the desire for food, which could not be deceived and concealed.

Whenever she looked at Ji Ran, she quickly lowered her head, although she was very eager for those delicacies, but she definitely didn't have the courage to eat, let alone ask Ji Ran for it, if Haruman knew about it, it would be a lesson in the flesh, and she might even die.

You must know that in the world of serfdom, the status of female slaves is the lowest, except for the role of giving birth to more serfs, their existence is almost worthless, they do not have the strength of male slaves, they can't do heavy and tiring work, and there are still a few days a month of weakness and weakness, and the serf owners feel that keeping female slaves by their side is almost a loss-making business.

Therefore, they only give the female slaves the most basic means of living, as long as they barely starve to death, if they want to get more food, they need to do hard work like male slaves, heavy work, just like Ma Lulian @ Old Lady Condes, even if they are a lot of age, they have to do rough work like male slaves every day.

Obviously, this maid can't do rough work, maybe she was born with a weak physique, or maybe she feels that she can't bear that kind of hardship, so she became a maid, serving Master Hardeman every day, cleaning the room, and tidying up the housework, this kind of work is relatively easy, so she can do it.

Ji Ran ate a few bites of crab roe buns, which were delicious enough to make people's mouths water, just smelling them, they couldn't help but growl in their stomachs.

Ji Ran seemed to have found a breakthrough in the relationship with this little maid, and she secretly stuffed a crab roe bun to her while the overseer was not paying attention.

The maid was startled and quickly shook her head vigorously, but when she saw Ji Ran signaling to her that the overseer was not there, the maid was still too scared to ask.

If Hardeman had known about this, he would have been beaten badly.

"It's okay, there's no one here, I gave it to you, you can eat it." Ji Ran said to the maid that although the maid couldn't understand the elven language, she could understand what Ji Ran meant, she was helping herself.

"Quick, it's okay, just go down in one bite." Ji Ran said as he demonstrated.
