Shen Junchuan glanced at General Xie in surprise, he still thought that General Xie was pure and rough, and his speech was not very good anyway. Unexpectedly, this General Xie is still coarse and fine, and he broke through the key point with one sentence.

Shen Junyao took the tour merchant to death with three words, and in order to take care of Shen Junyao's name, the tour merchant naturally had to leave this small courtyard.

But the traveling merchant still didn't want to live in the general's mansion, he felt that he didn't have that qualification, he would rather go and rent another place. Anyway, he lives alone now, and he doesn't need a good place.

So General Xie said to him again: "But what should our old man do when he misses you?" Is it going to live in those places with you? You don't want to think about it, he has a handful of old bones, can he withstand those tosses? ”

“……”

You Shang was once again pinched, and then walked away with General Xie in a gloomy manner.

Lin Zhiyun looked at his back and felt funny: "General Xie seems to like Youshang a lot?" ”

"It's probably to repay the kindness of taking care of Uncle Xie before I was alive." Shen Junchuan said with a smile, "Although there is a lot of age difference, General Xie can't really treat You Shang as a younger brother, but it's okay to take care of him like a junior." ”

"But You Shang lives in the General's Mansion, wouldn't it be inconvenient for me to ask him for help in the future?" Lin Zhiyun couldn't help sighing.

It's not convenient to buy groceries or anything.

But even if the old hunters continue to live in their house, they are now embarrassed to ask someone to buy groceries. After all, he is the old man of the general's family, and the general is outside to protect his family and defend the country, not to let his father buy vegetables for others.

Shen Junchuan said with a smile: "I can't help you when you talk about business, but you can call me to go to a light life like grocery shopping." ”

"You're going? Aren't you still going to read? Besides, my mother is willing to call you. Lin Zhiyun pursed his lips.

"If my mother is reluctant, will you be reluctant?" Shen Junchuan said with a smile.

"Naturally, it's reluctant, you usually read hard enough, and there is no need to trouble you with this trivial matter."

Shen Junchuan said with a smile: "The vegetable market is not far from here, and it doesn't take much time to buy vegetables." Besides, I can't read all day long, so I just go out to breathe when I'm shopping for groceries. And this is only temporary, since our family still needs someone to run errands, then just buy a few people to come back, and I'll go to the dental store tomorrow to ask. ”

"Do you still want to buy people?" Lin Zhiyun was stunned for a moment.

Although she had thought about this before, she was not used to outsiders walking around her, so she didn't mention it.

Shen Junchuan said with a smile: "I'm a lifter now, and I can afford to use people." Our lady is busy making money, how can I let her worry about some trivial things? Just leave those things to the next person to do. ”

"But what if they have two hearts?" Lin Zhiyun was a little worried.

"Anyway, their deed of sale is still in our hands, if they have two hearts, they will sell it again." Shen Junchuan said indifferently, "You still have to be on guard against what you should be wary of, but you should also be on guard if you can call it, and you don't have to think about the worst." If you really buy a few people and come back, everyone will be more relaxed, won't it? ”

Lin Zhiyun nodded: "Then I'll go with you tomorrow to pick people." ”

Early the next morning, the husband and wife went out together, for the sake of naturally buying people.

There are a lot of people in the tooth shop, and Lin Zhiyun picked a pair of brothers and sisters, called Da Niu Erya. Da Niu is thirteen years old this year, and Er Ya is eleven years old, both of them know some words, and their hands and feet are also very good, so they are good for doing some chores.

Shen Junchuan picked a middle-aged couple, the middle-aged woman is said to cook well, and the man is also literate, Shen Junchuan felt that their family still lacked a cook, and saw that the couple was also honest, so he agreed.

It's just that the couple also has two sons, one is eight years old and the other is seven years old, which is the age that even dogs hate, which makes Shen Junchuan very hesitant.

In the end, because of the relationship between the brothers and Da Niu, Lin Zhiyun bought it together.

Shen Junchuan was helpless: "I don't think we're here to buy people, like we're here to do good deeds." ”

"Then consider it a good deed. In fact, it's not a loss to buy it, and these eight- and nine-year-olds can also help run errands for a few years. It just so happens that you don't have a scholar, you can pick one to cultivate. Lin Zhiyun smiled dryly.

"If I want to pick a scholar, I think it's better to be a big cow. You see that the big cow looks more energetic, the age is just right, the person is also well-behaved, and he is also literate. Those two little fart children don't know a few big characters, and their personalities are jumpy, but I'm afraid it's not easy to train. Shen Junchuan shook his head and said, "And this hungry and skinny, I can't take them out, if I take them out, people will still think that I abuse and treat domestic servants." ”

"This is also ......" Lin Zhiyun also regretted it a little, "But I see that there are still many skinny people on Yang Xing's side, is there a disaster somewhere?" ”

"It seems that there is a drought in Yuzhou, and there has been no harvest in the fields for three consecutive years, and many people have no way to survive, so they have to wander around. The unlucky ones had to sell themselves in order to beg for food. ”

"So that couple is from Yuzhou?" Lin Zhiyun's eyes widened.

Shen Junchuan nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?" The man used to be a carpenter, and his wife was said to have washed and cooked for people, and she thought she was good at it. ”

Lin Zhiyun said speechlessly: "I heard that the people of Yuzhou are very good at eating, but I can't eat it, you buy one from Yuzhou to cook for me, do you want to kill me?" ”

Shen Junchuan was also stunned: "I didn't think of this just now, I just thought that the man was a carpenter, and there might be many places that could help me in the future." ”

"Okay, I can help you, just let my aunt cook in the future and not be spicy."

Shen Junchuan scratched Lin Zhiyun's nose and smiled softly: "It's better for a lady to treat me." ”

"If you know, it's good."

"I naturally know, I will repay my mother for the rest of my life."

"It's not okay to just talk about that, you have to do what you say."

"Naturally, I will use my whole life to prove it." Shen Junchuan replied firmly.

After going back, the couple brought all these people they bought to the hall, so that Shen Junyao could come out more appropriately and get acquainted with them.

After recognizing the people, Shen Junchuan began to tell them the rules of the family. In fact, there are no big rules, as long as they are honest and responsible.

The husband and wife are Wang Tiezhu, and the woman directly calls her Tiezhu's sister-in-law. The eldest of the two children is called Wang Jinlai, and the younger is called Wang Yinlai.

Lin Zhiyun felt that the names of these two children were quite festive, so he didn't let them change their names.

In fact, he didn't have the idea of changing people's names, Da Niu and Erya proposed it themselves. Da Niu said that these two of them are nicknames, and the parents originally wanted to wait until they were older, set up people, and then find a master to calculate and give them a better name.

It's a pity that before the two brothers and sisters could stand, their parents died. Da Niu hopes that Lin Zhiyun can change their names to represent that they are about to start a new life.

According to what Da Niu said, his father was originally the bookkeeper of a large family in a county near the capital, and his mother was also a girl in that family. When the couple got married, they didn't ask for their deed of sale, so that the children they gave birth to could only be slaves and maids.

Later, the master's family did several rooms, and one of them was greedy for the money in the public school, but he blamed his father. His father didn't do anything like that and refused to admit it, so he was beaten to death. After his mother was occupied by other family members, she committed suicide in shame, and the two brothers and sisters were betrayed by the main family.

In fact, they have been sold for more than two years, but because his father was charged with embezzlement of the master's money, no one dared to ask for them, and they always felt that the big one was a thief, and the small one must also be a small thief.

Lin Zhiyun felt that if what Da Niu said was true, it would be a bit miserable. It's just that if what Da Niu said is true, then this kid is afraid that he won't be able to live a good life in the future.

Da Niu said that although he was burdened with hatred, as long as he was still in the Shen family for a day, he would not cause any trouble to the Shen family.

Shen Junchuan felt that this child's eyes were clear, not like a person blinded by hatred, so he followed the gold to the silver and gave him a thought.

"You can stay with me in the future and be a scholar for me. As far as you think, you want to ask for a lottery, and I hope that I will be able to write and think in the future. Shen Junchuan smiled, "Your sister's name is Yulai?" ”

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "If Erya is called Yulai, then it is more like a sister and brother than Jin Laiyinlai, I think it is better to call Menglai?" ”

"Isn't it a little more beautiful?" Shen Junchuan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you call Jinlai?" It just so happens that you've been learning brocade recently, and it complements each other well. ”

Lin Zhiyun's eyes lit up: "It's okay!" After all, this girl is going to follow me in the future. ”

The sister-in-law of Tiezhu on the side was very envious when she heard this, she also wanted to learn brocade, but as soon as she looked at her rough hands, she knew that she definitely couldn't do this.

"Then let's do it, Silai will be a scholar for me, and Jinlai will learn from you to be a girl. Tie Zhu's sister-in-law did the laundry and cooked, and Tie Zhu helped with errands and some hard work. As for Jin Laiyin Lai, follow me first, and let Silai teach the two of them to read and write. ”

Tiezhu's sister-in-law was still envious that Jinlai could learn weaving and embroidery from his wife, but he could only do laundry and cook. As a result, as soon as she heard Shen Junchuan say that her two sons could learn to read and write, she suddenly had no idea, only gratitude to Dade.

After all, if she is still in the countryside, although her man can earn some money by doing woodwork, he can't provide for her two children to read and write together.

At this moment, Tie Zhu and his wife were very grateful to Shen Junchuan.

Jinlai didn't have any ideas, when she used to be a little girl in a big family, her main work was to raise flowers and sew, embroidery and tie up some of her skills. If you continue to do this now, you will be able to return to your old business.

At this time, she didn't understand that Lin Zhiyun could teach her far more.
