The old woman didn't recognize her life, so she pulled Jiang Lan to talk vigorously, and brought a group of old sisters with her.

As he spoke, a group of little radish heads walked in from the alley with small bags on their backs, and shouted respectfully to the "old nieces" beside them, "Seventh grandmother, ninth grandmother......"

Jiang Lan couldn't do anything about these unclear and messy relationships, so she just asked curiously: "It's really hard to get out of school so late." ”

The "old niece" had wrinkles on her face, "Hey, Housheng, don't you know, they go to the school far away, they have to get up before dawn, and the sun sets when they return at night, and if it's winter, I'm afraid I'll have to go home." ”

"Isn't there a school nearby?"

The "old niece" shook her head, "It's not that it's nothing, it's too expensive." That's what we can afford to read, even if the family saves money for their children to study, they can't get into other people's doors. ”

Jiang Lan had all her thoughts until a six or seven-year-old child broke into her sight.

The kid was skinny, with a yellow face and thin muscles, but he had a unique pair of eyes.

Jiang Lan knew at a glance that it was a pair of yin and yang eyes.

The child carried a large basket with heavy things in it. His clothes were washed white, and he wore tattered cloth shoes under his feet, but the streets were not narrow but he walked against the wall. If there is a pedestrian in front of him, he will suddenly lower his head, afraid of being seen.

"Brother Ming, is your sister Lan better?" "Niece," he beckoned.

The child's voice was crisp and nice.

"Grandma Seven, thank you for the clear porridge you sent, my sister is much better."

Jiang Lan looked at the child, stood opposite and answered, lowering her head and not seeing her expression.

The closer I get, the more I feel thinner.

After the child left, Jiang Lan's "old niece" chatted again.

“… That kid is so pitiful, the year before last, his father was doing work on the dock when he tripped over a rope and sank into the sea, and he died when he was rescued. His mother was pregnant and scared to have a miscarriage when she heard the news, and finally the mother and daughter were safe, and they left before the confinement, and now the two brothers and sisters are left to depend on each other..."

Jiang Lan looked at the sky, and after saying goodbye to the "old niece", she turned around and went to the Jiang ancestral hall.

This time, Jiang Lan did not hide her identity, and directly explained her intentions.

The eighty-year-old patriarch held his hand with tears in his eyes, "... Little cousin, you have a heart, you have a heart..."

Jiang Lan not only paid for the banquet of the famous teacher in the clan, but also specially invited a well-known old scholar with the name of the Guogong Mansion, thinking that he was a military general after all, and found a martial artist, and that Weng Sheng was given for nothing.

Jiang Lan sent him there and asked him to enlighten the young children in the clan, and not to waste his schoolwork in his spare time, and the bundle fee was also given, just don't leave this Jiang family's mansion.

Weng Sheng is a contented person, knowing that he may meet those gangsters when he goes out now, and now he can continue to study with food and drink, not to mention how happy he is.

After the arrangements were made, Jiang Lan asked the old patriarch to take her to the house called Brother Ming.

Looking at the dilapidated small house in front of me, there is not even a good door.

Jiang Lan stood behind the old patriarch and watched as the old patriarch stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Brother Ming, Brother Ming, cough cough~ I'm your uncle"

Through the wooden door that was so tattered that there was no defensive significance, Jiang Lan looked at the little radish head inside and walked over and opened the door cautiously.

"Uncle Tai."

The child was leaning against the edge of the door, looking at Jiang Lan behind his uncle and a little scared.

Such a movement naturally attracted the neighbors to come out and take a look.

The old patriarch looked at the child's recognition, and then introduced Jiang Lan next to him and said: "This is your little uncle, he misses that you have been orphaned since childhood, and is willing to accept you as a little scholar, what do you think, Brother Ming?" ”

The child finally dared to raise his eyes to look at Jiang Lan, but there was mist in his eyes and he shook his head.

"Thank you, little uncle, Brother Ming doesn't want to go."

The old patriarch was afraid that the child would be timid and miss this good opportunity, so he hurriedly explained, "It's not a slave, this is your little uncle, the little son of the Guogong Mansion......"

The neighbors next to me gasped, what a good opportunity~

But Brother Ming still shook his head, and the old patriarch hated that iron could not become steel.

I was afraid that my pampered little cousin would be angry, and I deliberately wanted to explain one or two things to Brother Ming.

Jiang Lan shook her head and stepped forward to touch the child's boring hair.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your sister too."

Xichi looked at the little girl who was less than two years old in his arms and had a headache, and the master walking in front of him just blindly held the little boy and ignored himself at all.

Jiang Lan looked at the little radish head beside him, which was not as good as his waist, and dared to peek at himself cautiously after walking for so long.

Jiang Lan met his gaze, what kind of eyes were they, as bright as stars, but covered with a layer of white mist.

"Your eyes are beautiful."

Instead of being shy when praised, the child was nervous and wanted to withdraw his hand.

"They say it's ominous eyes."

Jiang Lan held it tighter, silently giving this mortal child a kind of strength.

"That's their ignorance, it's a gift from God."

The first time the child heard such words, the whole person stopped in place.

Jiang Lan patted his head, "Be my apprentice." ”

The child was stunned, "Isn't Uncle Tai talking about a scholar?" ”

Jiang Lan smiled lightly, "That's a lie to them, I'm just a bastard who doesn't read, where do I need a scholar." Looking at the child's somewhat ignorant eyes, Jiang Lan patted her chest and praised, "Reading is a mortal trick, and my uncle will take you to learn something different." ”

The mist in the child's eyes suddenly lifted, and all that was left was a burst of clarity.

There were two new members in the courtyard, and Jiang Lan made a table of delicious dishes for the first time in the kitchen.

"Brother Ming, the little uncle is your master, this is the little uncle's home, you will be the little master here in the future, you're welcome, let the kitchen mother cook whatever you want to eat." Seeing that Brother Ming was restrained and only ate in one breath, and the chopsticks never stretched, Jiang Lan had no choice but to keep serving him vegetables.

"Thank you, uncle."

Seeing that the child was still very frightened, Jiang Lan put down her chopsticks and said about her arrangements, "Your sister is weak and sick, so I asked Xichi, the guy who followed me without speaking just now, to find a doctor at home for treatment."

My yard is quite large, the main house and the study are my private place, and you can choose the rest. In the evening, two old mothers and four little maids will come to serve you. You follow me on weekdays......"

Brother Ming lowered his head and stammered, "I, I, I...... Can take care of my sister. ”

What a sensible child! Jiang Lan praised in her heart, but disagreed, "No, you have to study with me, you won't have so much time, your sister is still young, and there is always a need for people around ......"

Looking at the child's slightly burdened eyes, Jiang Lan sighed, "You can take care of yourself?" ”

Brother Ming'er's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.

"Okay, I'll save the few who serve you, but you have to take care of yourself every day!"

The kid was very happy, Jiang Lan smiled, "Let's eat." ”

One night, the entire Guogong Mansion exploded.

"What, the prince brought back two children!"

"What is this, doesn't the prince plan to get married and raise children directly?"

"Who knows, but our son is really hurting, and I directly sent a lot of clothes below~ Tsk"
