Chapter 131: The Case of Feng County
Lu Erfa looked at a few children, and he still had some talent, and took their hands, and the calluses on his middle finger were quite large, which made him doubt in his heart, but he couldn't say more.
I looked at the hands of a few more girls, and the same was true.
"It's very strange, how could an ordinary farmer's family sell such a child?" Touching the thick cocoon of his middle finger, he was puzzled for the first time, "The sage said that tiger poison does not eat children, why is the rich man's house so sold?" ”
Inferior slaves cannot be officials for life, and they cannot be ordinary people, that is the object of everyone's deception.
"Child, have you ever read a book, I see that you have a lot of calluses on your hands, not like they were left over from farm work, like they were caused by studying all year round, but what difficulties did you encounter at home that sold you into slavery?"
The child bowed his head and was silent, his eyes were red mixed with things that did not belong to his age, and after fear filled his heart, there was more rejection and unwillingness, and a little disgust.
Lu Xiaowan pretended to drink tea, but in fact she stared at the child's every move, and the expression she hid with her head bowed was so obvious in her eyes.
"Children are children, you can't hide it, who are you, I bought you back naturally for my use, if you have no use value, guess what, what is the end?"
When the dim sum was served, Lu Xiaowan was hungry, so she barely stuffed a few sips, took a sip of tea, and when she looked at the children again, panic and shock alternated on their faces.
"I'm from Feng County, and my family was originally a wealthy family, but that night I don't know who slaughtered me all over the house, leaving only me and my sister, who happened to be kidnapped by those people, and then I picked up a life!"
The children didn't dare to recall those stories, but Lu Xiaowan knew a thing or two, "Yetian, notify the people of Ning Mansion that there are a lot of relatives in Feng County who want to take refuge in them." ”
The deed of sale in the bag has long been useless, and today can only be reluctantly exchanged for some silver, one of the little girls went to the medical center yesterday, very interested, and after secretly looking at Lu Xiaowan, she made up her mind to study medicine with Lu Xiaowan.
[Shameless bullying of children. 】
"You are even more shameless in arrears of wages!"
The system is speechless, [Make good money, economic recovery, all are opportunities, and the emperor has no real power, it's just ~]
The people of the Ning family did not delay for a moment when they received the news, and in less than half an hour, they rushed to Lu Xiaowan's house, and Xiao Zhang came with them.
"This matter is what our Ning family owes you, I took the child away, this is silver."
The thick dozen silver tickets handed over made Lu Xiaowan's eyes never leave, and after taking it, he stuffed it into his arms.
Some of those children rolled their eyes when they saw them, and some were surprised and didn't dare to speak, they didn't expect Lu Xiaowan to have something to do with Nanjing.
"I said that these children are all because you lost their parents, and you should treat them well when you look back, don't change your orders, and don't abandon them at will."
"Do you know something? Talking yin and yang, or do you say that you and your grandfather are good together, and use these children as weights? ”
Although he is a gentleman, he hates people who use children as weights the most, if Lu Xiaowan really does this, I am afraid that he will not even be able to be a friend in the future, Xiao Zhang thought of several reasons in his heart, but he couldn't find a solution, and Lu Xiaowan next to him didn't care.
"Can destroy these children overnight, do you guess who is not from the imperial court, can you believe that it is those horse bandits in the mountains or the grass bandits in the rivers and lakes, this kind of nonsense, do you believe it?"
Lu Erfa listened to the clouds next to him, he didn't expect his sister to think so far-reaching, but according to this situation, these children should be taken care of by Nanjing, so he doesn't have to worry, after all, there are still some malleable talents among these children, if they can be cultivated well in the future, they may be of great use.
"Don't worry, I'll discuss it with my grandfather when I go back, and you won't get involved in these things at will!"
The three-point warning in Yetian's eyes can't be erased, he is already extremely disgusted with the people in Nanjing, these children themselves are trouble, if those people know about Lu Xiaowan's existence, it will definitely be a bloody end.
"Let's take these children away first, remember to settle them, and it would be a great thing to be able to plan for their parents one day." Lu Xiaowan thinks that she is just a businessman, and she is unwilling to get involved in these things, and the system over there has been silent, and it seems that she is not happy.
"I heard that there was a girl from Qingfeng Lou, that face is like a flower and jade, which is unforgettable, and I heard someone say that the one in your family has taken a fancy to him, and he is not thinking about tea for her, and he doesn't want to eat."
Lu Xiaowan has been dealing with the affairs of the store in this episode, she never knew that such a girl came to Qingfeng Building, and she didn't have a little doubt after hearing it, after all, he knew Xiao Li's temper, if there was really any girl in the city in front of him, I am afraid he would not take a second look.
"Really? But I heard that this early morning girl has a great relationship with you, could it be that the old friend from the past came here from the capital, Ning Xiuyuan, you really have to treat people well, how can you make her so embarrassed? ”
After finishing speaking, he laughed and giggled in the courtyard, I don't know what happened, standing aside to watch the play, those children had already been taken away, leaving Xiao Zhang alone.
"Your sister has to be disciplined, otherwise how can she marry in the future, and a few of you, do things well, or when you get to the store, I will deduct your monthly money."
Of course it is unfortunate, but Qingfeng Lou did come to such a girl from the city, I heard that Xiao Li was brought to all performances in the past two days, in short, the reputation in the city was extremely big, even Lu Erfa knew it.
"Xiaowan, I did hear that there is a girl from the city in this city, who is beautiful and lovely, and her dancing posture is extremely beautiful, and she can also recite poems and paint, it can be said that she is the beloved in my heart, but it is a pity that she fell into the dust."
Lu Shaowan turned around when she heard this, glanced at Lu Erfa, with a little warning in her eyes, and a little helplessness, she didn't expect that all men in the world were the same, and she forgot her sister when she saw a beauty.
"What the second brother said is, but I remember that my mother said that I was optimistic about a family for you, if you want, I will let my mother propose for you tomorrow, you see how there is still a third brother, don't stand outside to watch the play, Chen Zhong's business is so good these days, but I still don't have money in the accounts, what's wrong, is the third brother going to find an Oiran?"
Lu Sande thought that this matter would not affect him, he was really happy to watch the play outside, and there was Qin Cuihua next to him, who came out of the kitchen after hearing the news and put the dishes on the table fiercely.
"You two are indeed not young, I will take you to propose marriage in a few days."
Lu Erfa already had a good impression of his husband's daughter, how could he easily agree to his mother-in-law to go and see other women, but her parents' orders could not be done, and she was not a person who could speak well, so she was choked by Qin Cuihua in three sentences.
Today's dish was particularly hearty, with fish and meat, as well as some fresh roe deer.
"Mother, today's dishes are a little rich, could it be that there are people selling game in today's market?"
After hearing this, Qin Cuihua shook her head, pointed to these two shameless sons and said, "This is sent by your eldest brother in the morning, that is, before dawn, and I got up early, I didn't call you to get up, tomorrow you all go back to the village, I heard that the village is now temporarily relieved, and going back will also make the people in the village remember it for a long time, otherwise they don't know who saved them." ”
Lu Xiaowan's sense of that village is extremely poor, he is unwilling to go back, that is, Lu Erfa and Lu Sande feel that they are still from the village and must not give up at will.
"Mother, tell you a good thing, I have already obtained the letter of divorce, I have nothing to do with Lin Jia from now on, and they have no way to interfere with the marriage."
Lu Xiaowan remembered the book in her sleeve that had annoyed her for a long time, and after taking it out and handing it to Qin Cuihua, she asked Lu Erfa to read the contents of the letter again.
When Qin Cuihua heard the words in her heart, the tears in her eyes couldn't be stopped, she had waited too long.
"This is a great thing, why did you say now, I'll go and cook a few dishes, let's have a good meal as a family, and then bring your eldest brother and sister-in-law and those children back in a few days, and the family will go to the tavern, and my mother will pay for a family banquet, and he Shunshun will be in the future."
Lu Erfa was also surprised when he looked at the book in his hand, he never thought that Lin Yitian would hand over this thing, and the marriage between the two would be irrelevant in the future, and Li's marriage from Xiao Li could also be advanced.
"Now that this letter has arrived, I will go to the yamen tomorrow and do everything that needs to be done, you don't have to worry about such things in the future, and Xue Muyan's matter, how can I mention it!"
Lu Xiaowan actually forgot about such a thing, and hurriedly filled his cup with wine, "Second brother, you see that my brother and sister have not drunk like this for a long time, and there are still many important things in the family that need you to handle in the future, I respect you for this cup." ”
Lu Sande scoffed at such a method and didn't disdain it at all, picked up the wine glass and put it in Lu Erfa's hand, refusing to give up the slightest opportunity.
Lu Erfa, who had a very shallow amount of alcohol, had two glasses in his stomach, and his face was already flushed, and he poured another glass immediately.
"What is the name of that daughter of the gentleman?"
Lu Sande helped Lu Erfa up and poured another cup, Lu Erfa, who was already dizzy, was a lot more sober when he heard the word Mr., and the daughter behind him made him a little shy.
"What daughter, don't talk nonsense, it's not good for other girls' reputation."
The means are simple and clear, Lu Erfa is not an opponent at all, Lu Xiaowan threw an admiring look at Lu Sande, and the other party didn't care at all.
"I've been lucky enough to see the girl in Allure, she is indeed a beauty, it's a bad thing to put here!"
