After the crown prince Xiao Ju left, Wei Ran looked at Weber with a strange expression.

"Webb, who the hell are you?" Wei Ran couldn't help but ask, from teaching him to deal with Hengzhi before, to encouraging Wei Ran to come to power in the night market, to now giving advice to him and the prince, Wei Ran will not feel that Weber is an ordinary housekeeper.

"Young master, why worry too much, when the master and the lady got married, the old slave was already the housekeeper of Dingnan Houfu, and the young master only needs to know that the old slave will not harm you." Webber sighed leisurely, but didn't want to say more.

Wei Ran sighed: "I just think that Weber's ability to be a lonely and unknown housekeeper is really condescending." ”

Webber just smiled and said, "Young master, Zi Fei is not a fish, and he knows the joy of fish." In the end, the temple is a dream, and the ordinary life is the most precious. ”

Wei Ran was puzzled and wanted to ask more. But Webber had already left the study: "The old slave has gone to arrange dinner. ”

After dinner, Wei Ran asked Li Yuwan about Weber's origin.

Li Yuwan just smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about it, when I didn't marry your father, Weber was already the housekeeper in the house." ”

"Ran'er didn't worry, but I just felt that Weber's ability was a pity."

"Webber is indeed not an ordinary housekeeper, but his current life is also his choice, why should you bother with such idleness?" Li Yuwan obviously knew the hidden meaning, but seeing that her mother said this, Wei Ran didn't say anything more.

"You can ask Weber more about things in the future, even when your grandfather is around, you will always ask him," Li Yuwan added.

After the meal, Wei Ran wanted to go out for a walk, but Li Yuwan stopped Wei Ran, and then looked at Yuan Shu with her eyes.

Wei Ran was puzzled, Li Yuwan hurriedly said: "You elm head, for your mother, I asked you to take Yuan Shu with you and go out for a walk." ”

Wei Ran suddenly realized, so he walked in front of Yuan Shu: "That, me." Think.. Hang out, together? ”

Yuan Shu was in a daze, but when she heard Wei Ran's words, she immediately nodded in agreement, and then took out a gauze hat from the room.

Aunt Zhao originally wanted to follow, but Yuan Shu hurriedly gave a look, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but chuckle, and then went to Li Yuwan to discuss the female worker.

After all, Yuan Shunai is a weak woman, although Wei Ran feels that her martial arts are acceptable, but for the sake of safety, she still called two generals to accompany her.

The two walked in Jiankang City, and the family followed far behind. Yuan Shu was in a good mood today, and her interest in shopping was much better, and she picked out a lot of strange things, but when she was about to pay, Yuan Shu suddenly turned red, and then lifted the tulle on the gauze hat and looked at Wei Ran aggrievedly.

Wei Ran couldn't help but smile: "Do you go out without money?" ”

"In the past, I rarely had the opportunity to go out, but this time I came to Jiankang, and Aunt Zhao was afraid that I would be deceived by someone with a simple mind, so the money was kept by her." Then Yuan Shu stuck out her tongue, "You help me pay first, and I'll let Aunt Zhao give it to you when I go back." ”

Wei Ran immediately helped Yuan Shu finish paying the bill, and watched Yuan Shu keep playing with the wind chimes in his hand, and couldn't help laughing.

Later, Wei Ran bought some silk and said that he would go back and ask people to make a few new clothes for Yuan Shu and his mother, which made Yuan Shu even more happy.

Even the generals looked at the backs of the two from a distance and couldn't help but say, "Childe and Miss Li look very compatible." ”

The two chatted while walking, and Yuan Shu suddenly said: "Actually, in the past two days, I have been wondering if I am too abrupt to do this, will it affect you, if you don't like me, how will I be." ”

When Wei Ran heard this, he stopped, and then slowly lifted Yuan Shu's veil and said, "Actually, I don't know what will happen. For people like me, marriage is involuntary. The princess treats me like this, and I treat you like this, Webb told me that in life, the dust is rolling, and it is enough to have one or two confidants. It would be too greedy to seek perfection in everything. ”

Seeing that Yuan Shu was puzzled, Wei Ran put down the veil, and then said softly to Yuan Shu: "At least when I go shopping with you, I am very relaxed, and this is enough." ”

Yuan Shuqiao's face was already red, but Wei Ran definitely couldn't see the expression in it. Wei Ran said: "Should I buy you a maid, Aunt Zhao often talks to my mother now, and you will inevitably be a little lonely." ”

"No, I've gotten used to it for so many years." Yuan Shu shook her head.

But Wei Ran couldn't hear the loneliness in Yuan Shu's mouth, so he took Yuan Shu to a market and said to Yazi at the door: "I need a maid, about fifteen or sixteen years old, who knows that the book is a little more reasonable, and the family is innocent." Do you have one in the city? ”

After Yazi saw the person who came, he said: "It turned out to be the prince of Guangling County, and the small one will be found for you." ”

Wei Ran grabbed the tooth: "Do you recognize me?" ”

Yazi said: "A few days ago, the county prince defeated the northerners in the ring and raised the national prestige of our southern dynasty. The small one just happened to witness the true face of the county prince, the county prince waited for a while, there were just a few women from Wu County and Huiji County in the past few days, gentle and skillful and slightly literate and ink, the small one will take the county prince there? ”

"A little bit of text? Huiji and Wu Jun are mostly from southern families, how could such a woman be reduced to Jiankang? After Wei Ran heard this, he was suspicious.

"Don't you know? The thief Sun Tai made trouble in eastern Zhejiang, and Wu Jun and Huiji were attacked and disturbed. Many large families were ruined, so some women were bought and sold to Jiankang. ”

Wei Ran became more and more puzzled in his heart, Yuan Shu seemed to understand what Wei Ran meant, so he pulled Wei Ran and said, "It's better to buy two more later, go back and ask carefully." I'm about to move to the county government, and I don't need someone to serve me. Now all the maids from the prince's mansion are used, can't the county prince take them all away? ”

Wei Ran hurriedly shook his head, and then Yazi said, "Jungong, it's all here." But don't hide it from the county prince, these are all stubborn, and those who are only willing to be maids and refuse to get through the house when they buy them back, and the small ones still have to talk to the county prince first. ”

Wei Ran couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and before he could speak, Yuan Shu couldn't help but snort coldly, and Yazi suddenly realized: "Madame forgive me, the little one has never heard anyone mention that the prince of Guangling County has married a wife, so he lost his words." ”

Wei Ran looked at the four women in front of him and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the prince of Guangling County, but the girl next to me was originally from a large family in Huaida, and came to Jiankang for some reason. Don't know if you have it? ”

After hearing this, a woman suddenly said: "But it turns out that the north Qin is waiting for the prince in the south? The current Guangling County Prince? Wei Gongzi? ”

Wei Ran was surprised, and the woman explained: "The slave family was originally from Shangyu County, and his family background was quite solid, and he was also a little familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but not long ago, the evil thief Sun Tai broke through Shangyu, and the guards of Huiji County were afraid of the evil thief Sun Tai, and refused to let us and other fleeing people enter the city. Therefore, he has been wandering here, helpless. My father also occasionally mentioned the name of Wei Gongzi, so there was an image. ”

Wei Ran nodded, and then said to Yazi: "I want this woman." ”

Yazi smiled: "Thank you Jungong, this woman is the most intense, and Jungong has helped me a little." If the remaining county princes don't dislike it, the small ones will be given to the county princes for the owner? ”

Wei Ran couldn't help but be curious: "You little tooth has so much power?" ”

"The shopkeeper of this market is a young uncle, and these women can't sell it for a few days, and they have to take care of food and drink. The small one is in charge of this matter, and the small one heard that the Guangling County Mansion is about to be completed, and it is inevitable that some maids will be needed at that time, and the county prince will take care of one or two." Yazi said with a smile.

"You're kind of interesting, what's your name?" Wei Ran suddenly became interested in the tooth in front of him, and then asked.

"Little Wang Qi, thanks to the love of the county prince."

"I'll buy all four of them together, you name the number." Wei Ran didn't want to take advantage of others for nothing.

"Then a total of twenty taels of silver." Wang Qi thought for a moment, and then said.

Wei Ran nodded slightly after hearing this, these maids are all quite beautiful, but they are strong and unwilling to sleep, otherwise they will be more than twenty taels. This Wang Qi is a person with vision, and then Wei Ran paid the silver, and returned to the mansion with the deed of sale of the four people.

At this time, Wei Ran's mother had already fallen asleep, and Aunt Zhao was still waiting for Yuan Shu in the mansion, and she couldn't help but be surprised to see Wei Ran suddenly bring back four more women.

Yuan Shu explained: "Aunt Zhao, these girls were added by Wei Gongzi to take care of my daily life. ”

"Miss, what are you talking about, does Wei Gongzi think that the old slave can't take care of Miss?" Aunt Zhao said dissatisfiedly after hearing this.

"Auntie, don't blame, I'm just afraid that the girl will be bored alone in Jiankang, so I pick a few people of the same age, who can talk to the girl on weekdays, and Aunt Zhao and my mother have been talking very happily these days, and I also intend to let my aunt accompany my mother more. In two days, they will move to the county mansion, and these maids will have to talk to their aunts a lot. Wei Ran hurriedly explained.

Aunt Zhao immediately stretched her brows after hearing this, the more she looked at Wei Ran, the more satisfied she became, and when she saw the smile on Yuan Shu's face, Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "Wei Gongzi can really call people, the old slave used to only have to serve Miss alone, but now this." ”

Wei Ran was embarrassed, and Yuan Shu said coquettishly at this time: "Auntie, don't cancel Wei Gongzi." ”

"Auntie, the rest of these women bother you to understand first, this Liu girl, not only knows the text and ink, but also has a little knowledge of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so the girl has fallen into the market, I will take him to the prince for a trip and ask the reason carefully."

Then Wei Ran took Miss Liu to the prince's study and said to the guard at the door: "The prince is in the house?" I have something important to discuss."

The guards didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly introduced Wei Ran into the house, Xiao Ju was reading a book at this time, and when he saw Wei Ran, he couldn't help but say, "Why is Brother Xian so anxious?" When he saw the girl behind Wei Ran: "Who is this girl?" ”

"I went to Fang City today to choose a maid for Miss Li, this girl is a native of Shangyu County, Huiji County, the pirate Sun Tai has conquered Shangyu County and its surrounding counties, Miss Liu's family died and came to Jiankang to sell herself as a slave. Miss Liu, you tell the prince about the situation. Wei Ran hurriedly said.

It turns out that this girl's surname is Liu Mingyun, the family is not a small gentry in Shangyu County, not long ago Sun Tai broke through Shangyu County, Shangyu County ordered to abandon the city and flee, Sun Tai's thieves burned and looted all evil, especially staring at these big households to rob, but also spoiled the gentry's daughter for fun, the Liu family and several other families of the family desperately killed a way, and finally ran to the county of Huiji, the county guard was not allowed to open the door, let Sun Tai lead people to slaughter under the city. Liu Yun's parents also died under the knife, and finally ran to Wu County, but Wu County not only did not send troops, but also teamed up with traffickers to force them to sign a deed of sale.

Liu Yun has a strong personality, but many women have been spoiled by local traffickers in Wu County. Subsequently, many people were dragged to Jiankang and sold to the local market.

After listening, Xiao Ju's face was full of shock, and he couldn't help but break the pen in his hand: "The situation is so serious, why is there no movement above the court." It is only said that there are thieves harassing along the coast, and it will be suppressed in a few days. ”

Liu Yun saw Wei Ran and Xiao Ju's expressions and knew that they really didn't know about it. Liu Yun was still quite resentful of the imperial court before, but now he knelt down and said: "I ask the prince and the county prince to be the masters of the people of our county." The thief Sun Tai now occupies several counties, and his subordinates are countless, and even the Huiji County Shou and Wu County Taishou dare not levy, how can they be ordinary thieves? ”

"Brother Prince, this is a great opportunity. Huiji County Shou and Wu County Taishou are both Lu Ke's disciples, and the elders of the clan also have people who are officials in the court, and the elder brother has never heard of it every day, it is nothing more than that these two counties are too shou to conceal the report or be suppressed by Zhongshu Province, no matter what, it is inseparable from Lu Ke's party, tomorrow I will go to the court with you to expose this matter, and I will personally lead the prince to conquer Sun Tai. It can not only crack down on Lu Ke and his party, but also eliminate harm for the people. ”

Xiao Ju didn't hesitate, and immediately began to write the recital, and after writing, he handed it to Wei Ran, who nodded slightly after reading it, and then gave it back to Xiao Ju.

Xiao Ju looked at Liu Yun, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said: "Miss Liu's words can ensure that they are true, and it is a capital crime to frame a county guard." ”

Liu Yun raised her head with tears in her eyes: "What the slave said is true, if there is a lie, the soul will never return to its hometown." ”

After Xiao Ju heard this, he hurriedly helped Liu Yun up: "Don't worry, girl, this palace will definitely find out about this matter." Not only will Sun Tai's party be completely wiped out, but the Huiji Taishou will passively avoid war, and Wu County will be too corrupt and pervert the law, and the palace will also seek justice for the people of these two counties. ”
