"Guard Jiang arranged them in the back room of the post station, Xiaojun woke up, and the doctor said that it was okay, and then just take care of it." Xiao Shi reported in a low voice: "Lan Na came in the evening to ask what they were going to do, and Guard Jiang said that he would wait for the county lord to come back, or wait for Lin Quan to come back and make arrangements." ”

Lin Qingwan held the cup and thought about it, and then said half-loudly: "Let them rest first, and let them take care of the cattle and sheep they bought for the time being." ”

This batch of cattle and sheep is to be transported to various places in batches, and they have to stay in Youzhou for a period of time before Lin Quan and Lin An arrange it, no matter whether the cattle and sheep need to be fed, and they have all been raised at home, it should not be difficult.

Xiao Shi wrote it down and served Lin Qingwan to sleep.

Early the next morning, Lanna and her mother Lincao came over to thank Lin Qingwan, who met them and said, "I wanted to take you back to Jiangnan, but I thought that you may not be used to the climate and living habits of Jiangnan, so I decided to let you go." When Xiaojun's injury is healed, I will leave you a sum of money, whether you want to go back to Liao, or you want to stay here. ”

Linen and Lanna's faces changed, Lanna bit her lip and didn't speak, but Linen fell directly to the ground, lying on the ground and said: "Please take it in from the county lord, we are willing to repay the county lord with our lives for saving his life and taking him in." ”

Linen raised her head slightly and asked, "Does the county lord mind what Lanna did before?" ”

Lin Qingwan got up and helped her up, and said with a light smile: "There is no need to be like this, Lanna and I are also fateful, the previous things between me and her were just their own masters, and it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, so naturally I won't mind this." ”

"Then why doesn't the county lord want to keep us?" "We are women, we don't eat much, but we work very well, when her father and brother go to the battlefield to fight, the work at home is done by me and her sister-in-law, whether it is shepherding sheep or herding cattle, we can do it." ”

Bucao paused and said, "Lanna, she has a lot of strength, and I will teach her too." ”

Because Lanna is good-looking and relatively small, the family spoils her and never lets her do these chores, so although she is not a daughter, she was also raised in the palm of her hand.

Lin Qingwan glanced at Lanna, who was a little stubborn, looked at the cloth and said, "Isn't it better to be free?" ”

Lincao shook his head and said with tears in his eyes: "County Lord, Shi Zhan hates us very much, if there is no protection from the County Lord, we will not end well." ”

Lin Qingwan frowned and said, "Then don't go back to Liao, stay in Youzhou, can he still reach out to Youzhou?" ”

Lincao shook his head, "He doesn't have to do it himself, as long as he shows a little meaning, he has someone to work for him, and there are many Khitans in Youzhou." ”

She said: "To be the slave of the county lord, we are all willing, you can rest assured, we will not embarrass you, we will work hard." ”

And one day they are Lin Qingwan's people, no one dares to touch them one day.

Lin Qingwan raised her eyebrows, but the linen was sober.

She thought for a while and said, "In this case, you can stay in Youzhou, and I will have someone arrange some work for you when the time comes." ”

Lincao breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to Lin Qingwan twice, and Lanna also knelt down and kowtowed before retreating.

Lin Qingwan nodded her fingers, looked at Xiao Shi and said, "Xiao Shi, do you have any arrangements with your brother?" ”

Xiao Shiyi was stunned, and it took a while to react, and hurriedly said, "Naturally, we also have to follow the county lord." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "There are many ways to follow me, your brother has read, and your family was also a scholarly family, and now that you have left Liaoying, have you ever thought about supporting the portal and glorifying your ancestors?" ”

Xiao Shi lowered her eyes and didn't speak, she just wanted to follow Lin Qingwan, but she still had her brother, her brother was literate and not weak in resourcefulness, she couldn't make up her mind for him.

Seeing that she was silent, Lin Qingwan said, "Have time to ask your brother." ”

The resources and connections in Lin Qingwan's hands are not the turn of Jiang San's outsiders, and now she uses them, but it is just an employment relationship.

Jiang San, Zhu Xuan and others were reluctant to join the army, and they were unwilling to return to their hometowns with the little food that could only support food and clothing for ten days, so Lin Qingwan needed people, so they came over to work.

Lin Qingwan gave a generous salary, and she didn't look down on them because they were slaves in Liaoying, so with her, they could quickly save some money.

If you want to leave later, you can also have more options.

Originally, Lin Qingwan was not in a hurry, because the things here were very complicated, and she planned to stay for about a year.

But Yubin is pregnant, she is in a hurry to go back, and she will leave in a few months, so she naturally has to tell them in advance.

She admires Jiang Sanzhuxuan and these people very much, but it's a pity that they don't want to join the army, otherwise they will definitely do something in the army.

It was also because of her appreciation that she mentioned it now and let them think about the way back.

Whether to go back to Jiangnan with her, stay in Youzhou, or go to other places, you have to start preparing.

Lin Qingwan got up and said: "I'm going to see a few guests in a while, you can stay, discuss it with your brother, by the way, and then notify Zhu Xuan and them, and say that I will leave when the matter of the mutual market is over." ”

Xiao Shi should get down, send Lin Qingwan away, and go to find Jiang San.

Last night, Jiang San and Zhu Xuan were busy until the second half of the night to count all the cattle and sheep and make a book, so they just woke up from bed at this time.

When Xiao Eleven came, Jiang San followed her outside to talk.

Hearing Xiao Shi's announcement, Jiang San thought for a while and said, "I'll go back and see the county lord, I'll go to Zhu Xuan and tell them, you go back first." ”

"What is my brother's plan?"

Jiang San smiled at his sister and said: "We are lucky, we met a good time and nobles, I decided to set up a caravan with Zhu Xuan and them, and from here we will import things to the Central Plains, and you can make a profit by changing hands, and I will find you a good husband when the time comes, so that you can also enjoy happiness." ”

"Where did my brother get the money?" Xiao Shi's eyes widened slightly.

Jiang San smiled and said: "I estimate that this mutual market will have to be built for at least half a year, my monthly money is eight hundred yuan per month, plus the occasional reward, how much can I save one or two silver in a month, plus Zhu Xuan theirs, there will be twenty taels by then, we will enter some small things, start doing it slowly, and always earn a family business." ”

Xiao Shi couldn't laugh, lowered his head and nodded on his toes and said, "Brother, I want to follow the county lord." ”

Jiang San frowned slightly, "A person like the county lord, the person who serves by his side is not a henchman, now it is because there is no one around the county lord that you can stay by her side and serve, when she returns to the capital or Jiangnan, can you still follow her?" ”

Xiao Shi lowered his head and didn't speak, Jiang San panicked in his heart, this was a manifestation of his sister's insistence, he couldn't help but pat her head and said: "Xiao Shi, my brother is not bitter at all, I don't need you to work with the county lord to earn money, and now life is much better than in Liaoying, isn't it?" ”

Xiao Shi's eyes were red, and he was a little ashamed, but he still shook his head and insisted: "Brother, I just want to follow the county lord, I know you don't like to be a slave, so as long as I sell my body, you are still free." ”

Jiang San's eyes widened, "You're going to sell yourself?" ”

Xiao Shi nodded, bit his lip and said, "My life was given by the county lord, and I will serve her for the rest of my life!" ”

Jiang San looked at his sister in surprise, "You didn't even think about being a real slave when we were in danger in the Liao camp, but now you have to sell yourself?" ”

"The county lord is different from others," Xiao Shi raised his head and said, "Who would leave the chance of life to a slave and make his own bait to lure away the enemy?" ”

"Brother, I am about the same size as the county lord, although I am a few years younger, I can put on the clothes of the Liao soldiers, and then put on the cloak, not to mention the Liao soldiers, even those guards may not be able to recognize it, at that time, the county lord handed over the secret letter to me for safekeeping, I thought she would use me as bait, the letter was just a cover." Xiao Shi's eyes were slightly red and said: "At that time, I also had guards around me to protect me, and the Liao army obviously couldn't distinguish between me and the county lord, so I and the county lord surrounded a lot of people, and at that time, as long as she signaled and made a hint that I was the county lord, she could escape." ”

"But she didn't, she took off her hat herself and lured everyone away, so my life belongs to the county lord, brother, I don't want to leave." Xiao Shi looked at Jiang San with a smile.

Jiang San's face changed again and again, and he pursed his mouth and didn't speak.

Half a sound before he said, "You go back first, let me think about it." ”

Xiao Shi wiped his tears and turned to leave.

There was a sound of "poof, poof" behind Jiang San, and when he turned around, he saw Zhu Xuanzheng biting a piece of cake, and when he saw him looking over, he thought about it and pulled him halfway.

Jiang San frowned and glanced at him, but he took it without disgust.

Zhu Xuan squatted on the ground and said, "Your sister is serving the county lord as a bodhisattva." ”

Jiang San didn't speak.

Zhu Xuan said while eating: "Actually, it's not bad to follow Lord Lin, the treatment is good, and she also values us, but Lin Quan and Lin An under her are not vegetarians, and it is a little difficult for us to get past them." ”

Jiang San lowered his eyes and said, "And we don't sign the deed of sale, the county lord's trust in us is limited, and many things will not be entrusted to us to do." ”

Zhu Xuan finished nibbling on the cake and looked at him, "So what the hell do you think?" ”

Jiang San didn't speak.

Zhu Xuan patted his ass and got up and said: "In fact, if the county lord is willing to support us, our pattern will definitely not be as small as twenty taels, you must know that we have been in the Liao camp for many years, and our understanding of Liao is not only as simple as the camp." ”

Gu Luo and Liu Hu also came over, and said lightly: "Have you gone to see yesterday's transaction, the county lord seems to want to buy a horse." ”

Zhu Xuan looked at Jiang San with a smile and said: "Horses, exchange with Wendihan, it is better to find those small tribes on the grassland, not to mention the cheap price, the quality is also better, yesterday we looked at those horses, the quality is very average, and there are even two inferior horses mixed in it." ”

Gu Luo continued: "Yi Han, who has been following the county lord, obviously saw it, but he didn't say a word, he just suffered this loss, the county lord obviously didn't want to stiffen the relationship with Wen Dihan, and the faults were picked from the inconsequential sheep." ”

Liu Hu said: "Brother, we have been born and died together in Liaoying for many years, and we all know each other's character, we are also homeless and unemployed, and we can only rely on each other." ”

Jiang San pursed his lips and said, "So you're here to calculate my sister?" Let her stay with the county lord and take us hostage? ”

"Brother, don't say that, if the little tenth sister hadn't insisted on staying with the county lord, we wouldn't have mentioned it, and we would have worked together until the county lord left, and we would have agreed together to form a caravan with the salary." Zhu Xuan said: "Before Little Ten Sister said that, we never thought of leaving her alone. ”

Jiang San took a deep breath, and only after half a sound did he wipe his face and said, "I have to think again." ”

Zhu Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "The county lord is such a character, you don't have to worry about the little tenth sister suffering with her, and when we gain a firm foothold in Youzhou in the future, you can go and ask the county lord for a favor." ”
