Chapter Forty-Eight: The Family

Home is always the most comfortable place.

When Nie Yan took a bath happily, shaved his hair, and changed into the blue shirt that Mei Han had carefully prepared for him, it was already the middle of the moon.

Stretching his body, Nie Yan squinted his eyes comfortably, standing in the corridor in a daze.

At this moment, the moonlight is just right, the moonlight is washing, like a * light lake water sprinkled in this courtyard, and it looks like the whole courtyard is shrouded in a layer of silver light, and it is like a small courtyard in a clear lake, which is very beautiful.

The surroundings are very quiet, and on a water pavilion in front of you, you can vaguely see the figure of Sixiao.

After being tired, being able to see such a beautiful and peaceful home will make the soul also peaceful.

Mei Han was careful, and naturally noticed that the eldest brother had finished washing, and no longer talked to the other three children, but Shi Shiran walked to Nie Yan's side.

"Big brother, the meal is ready, why can't you go over?" In the past few years, Nie Yan has also become taller and taller, standing by Nie Yan's side, Mei Han can only reach the distance of his shoulder.

"No, I just think it's beautiful." Nie Yan said lightly, and a smile naturally appeared on his lips.

After combing, his sense of vicissitudes has faded a lot, and he is wearing a blue shirt, which will make people feel better and better.

Hearing Nie Yan's words, Mei Han couldn't help but laugh 'poof': "Big brother's words are so unreasonable, this is your home, if you want to see such a scene, you will have it at any time." ”

"Hmm." Nie Yan said perfunctorily, in fact, all year round, from spring to winter, how many days can he be at home?

Mei Han naturally thought of this layer as well, and said softly: "Big brother goes south and north, presumably he has seen a lot of magnificent rivers and mountains. When I have time, I also dream of going with my eldest brother. ”

Nie Yan didn't speak, yes, the infinite magnificent rivers and mountains outside are extremely beautiful, but if he didn't go on a dangerous trip, how could he let the four children of his family go to danger.

Mei Han consciously lost his words, and also understood the hard work of the eldest brother, so he skipped this topic at the moment: "Big brother, are you still satisfied with this short shirt?" ”

"Of course, if you are careful, who can compare with Mei Yatou? This shirt is very good. "Nie Yan walked the rivers and lakes, I don't know when he started, he has developed the habit of liking to wear short shirts, and he will hardly touch clothes such as long robes.

And this royal blue shirt is very delicate from the neckline to the cuffs, and there are very low-key but good-looking dark lines in it, how is it not good?

This is Mei Han's painstaking efforts, and naturally it should be cherished even more.

It's not easy to think of the girl around her, but what is even more amazing is her talent for business.

Originally, they were just illiterate little beggars, but later it was the literacy bowls that taught them general literacy, and later in the three years of getting along with Nie Yan, they learned more things, at least in terms of reading.

After that, if he settled here, as long as it was possible, every time, Nie Yan would bring back a large number of books according to a few small requirements, just like this time, wasn't the package hanging on the yellow horse also the stacks of books?

Those are still normal.

The important thing is that Nie Yan was born in the Xiaodao realm, and the abundance of books in it can be called the best in the world.

Life in the small path world is cold and lonely, and in the days when he is not practicing, Nie Yan reads a lot of miscellaneous books, which also involve some medical Taoism, the way of doing business, the human martial arts, and even the 'dark' Dao that does not see much light, that is, investigation, assassination and other things.

In his spare days at home, Nie Yan can recall some of them, so he will copy some of them, and he should also cultivate himself.

These books naturally caught a small eye and laid a solid foundation for them.

You know, are the books in the small realm mortal?

Mei Han, this girl, seems to be very talented in business, and when she came to this town in Shu, she happened to find something that could help the Nie family - Shu embroidery.

This Shu embroidery is extremely beautiful and exquisite, but due to the difficulty of Shu Road, it is a little buried, at least the people in this town have no way to make it get its due value.

So, this girl used her brains on this.

At the beginning, naturally Nie Yan also helped, with his ability, Shu Dao was nothing in his eyes, so he could naturally help bring out some sales.

But how does Nie Yan know how to sell, but this girl has thought of a set of methods, in short, there is no need to elaborate on the hardships, with her young age, it is very difficult to support this family.

And the initial motivation is just that the eldest brother goes south and north, and he doesn't have a single silver on him, how can he be good?

Thinking of these, Nie Yan was a little dazed, in this world, how many people can be really opposite? has learned a few things, all of them are because of him, how can this true love make Nie Yan not feel warm?

"Big brother, let's go. The food was going to be cold, and they were hungry. Come to think of it, when the eldest brother comes back this time, Mei Han still has something to discuss with the eldest brother. Seeing that Nie Yan was in a daze again, and didn't know what he remembered, Mei Han couldn't help but open his mouth and urge.

That heart has been built in her heart for too long, and this time the eldest brother comes back, I'm afraid she can't wait any longer.

Nie Yan let out an 'oh' curiously, but without asking too much, he and Mei Han walked towards the pavilion above the small lake in the courtyard.

Nie Yan didn't like to eat in the room and felt depressed.

Therefore, on the day he returned, if it was not a bad rainy day, he would have eaten outside.

Several oil lamps had already been lit up on the pavilion, and the dining table was also full of all kinds of food and snacks, all of which were Nie Yan's favorite food, and naturally there would not be a bottle of good Shudi wine.

The water here is good, and the winemaking has been inherited since ancient times, and Nie Yan is extremely fond of the wine here, even if he goes out, it will make Mei Han prepare a big bag.

Nie Yan sat down, and naturally he could eat.

In those difficult times, this 'extravagant' meal was in front of me, and a few little fingers may have gobbled it up, but now it is normal, and there are more of the demeanor of the sons and ladies between eating and drinking.

Rice to eight minutes, wine to half full.

Mei Han first put down his chopsticks and poured a glass of wine for Nie Yan: "Big brother, this is the cellar wine of the ancient method, does it taste good?" ”

Nie Yan squinted his eyes and took a sip, the cellar wine was fragrant, and the wine made by this method had relatively few impurities, and the degree was stronger than some rough folk wines, which was already a rare good wine in that era.

Putting down the glass, Nie Yan said: "Wine is naturally good, but there is no need to talk about wine. Han girl, you said before that you had something to discuss, at this moment, facing the eldest brother, why not be happy? ”

Mei Han smiled faintly.

The fifteen-year-old girl naturally has a demeanor, and this smile is really like the elegant plum blossom in the winter snow, where is the appearance of the little beggar back then?

She took out a booklet from her side, opened it, and began to tell Nie Yan about her family's income and expenses.

Nie Yan wasn't half interested in these, but he didn't interrupt her, just slowly drank and ate food to see what she meant?

After saying this, Mei Han took another booklet, this time to report on the people in the family.

The so-called people naturally include family members, subordinates and the like, but the Nie family is different, and there are some adopted children.

In fact, since two years ago, when the family was rich, they began to adopt some children at a young age, not limited to the town, but the street children around, and the little beggars will inspect the adoption.

Moral character is naturally the first to be examined, and then to see whether it is smart, sturdy, and dexterous.

Originally, Nie Yan didn't understand a few things, especially what did Mei Han mean by doing this? If you want to help others with kindness, why do you have to go to school to take so many things? But Mei Han insisted on doing so.

Therefore, in recent years, there are only twenty or thirty people who can be qualified to enter the courtyard of the Nie family.

But the rest, a few small will also help, and they are generally selected into the family's industry, or introduced to some shops that come and go, and find a bite to eat, which is also considered a good deed.

Because of this, Nie Yan didn't ask too much.

Now, Mei Han is reporting to him, what does it mean?

Although Nie Yan remained silent, he had already muttered in his heart.

Fortunately, after Mei Han finished reporting this, he didn't say that he took out a booklet again, but said: "Big brother, you have also heard that in the past two years, in addition to the money needed for living or business turnover in the family, there has been a large surplus. This is number one. ”

"Second, the selected children are all poor children who are innocent but have no relatives and no reason. Fortunately, they are all clever and grateful people, and it is not difficult to train. Now, after a year, the children have been able to read and write, have hired a teacher, and their bodies have been polished quite well. ”

After speaking, Mei Han was silent and looked at Nie Yan.

Nie Yan smiled: "Han'er, what are your ambitions?" It seems that the ambition is not small. ”

Mei Han knew that Nie Yan was teasing her, and she was not annoyed, but said unhurriedly: "Big brother, don't laugh, don't you really understand our hard work?" It's time to build a real Zhuangzi and cultivate some usable people. The eldest brother is alone and always inconvenient. And in our hearts, eldest brother, you are the only support, the pillar in our hearts, you have been living in danger for a long time, how can you not be anxious as a younger brother and sister? Every time, I am always frightened and worried. ”

"Naturally, we can't change our big brother's decisions and ambitions. But big brother, you really don't plan to set up a family, just like other famous demon hunters, do you have a family behind you? Mei Han said in the end, his tone was quite excited, and he didn't seem to allow Nie Yan to refuse.

Nie Yan frowned, and the cup was heavily placed on the table: "Demon hunter? How did you find out? ”
