Liu Chatou led a few people to walk more and more remotely, and finally stopped in front of a narrow and dilapidated alley, where the stone road cracked and cracked, and the gray-black houses stood lonely, and a willow tree grew in front of the alley, the leaves on it were gone, and the bare willow branches fluttered in the cold wind, desolate.

"Here, Miss Ye, you ask for a clean place to live, close to the city gate, this is a place that meets your requirements, I have already bought a few houses inside, clean up a little, and live in it directly." Liu Chatou said to Ye Lanming.

"Here...... Why do you feel like you don't have popularity? Liu Yan looked around a little, the locked gates, the dusty walls, none of them indicated that there were few people living here.

"Because...... It's all dead. Liu Chatou thought of what he had heard, his eyes were a little complicated, and he sighed softly: "Mocheng has been fighting for many years, almost every year with the grassland people, over the years, there are fewer and fewer men around Mocheng, many people died on the battlefield, leaving orphans and widows. ”

Everyone was silent, they knew before they came that the war in Mocheng was continuous, but this was the first time they had experienced the cruelty of war.

"Go in first, sooner or later, this war will end." In silence, Ye Lanming spoke, she looked at this lonely housing area, thinking about how to take out the cement and some cold weapons.

Liu Chatou bought five houses at once, Ye Lanming chose one, and then said to the others: "You can choose one of these four houses yourself, if the house is not enough to live in, then buy it." ”

"Enough is enough, enough of this." Mrs. Yang hurriedly said that these houses are all big mansions, and it is enough for each of them to share one room.

"Okay, let's rest tonight, and I'll talk about how to gain a foothold in Mocheng tomorrow." Ye Lanming waved her hand to let them disperse, she also needed a night to think about what to do in the future.

Mrs. Yang and the others dispersed obediently, Jiang Shijun and Jiang Jingjing also planned to choose a room, but they were stopped by Ye Lanming before they could take a few steps.

"Where are you going?" She asked with all the right reason.

Jiang Shijun turned his head to look at Ye Lanming, "Choose a room to settle in, and come to Miss after cleaning up." ”

Kindness?

Ye Lanming raised his eyebrows, "Have you forgotten that you are my personal servant?" Want to run? ”

"Miss, Shi Jun didn't mean that." Jiang Shijun hurriedly said, "I thought the house you chose was just a place for you and your family to live." ”

Ye Lanming didn't say that he should live here, he subconsciously thought that he needed to live outside, and planned to choose a place close to Ye Lanming.

"You and Jing Jing both live next to me." Without much nonsense, Ye Lanming commanded directly.

"Yes, miss." Jiang Shijun bent down and saluted, but he didn't notice it himself, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

And Jiang Jingjing was very happy that Miss actually let her live by her side! Killing my brother and becoming Miss's henchman is just around the corner.

Ye Lanming chose a three-entry house, and after Liu Yan walked around the entire house, she nodded with satisfaction, which was very good overall.

Seeing that Nan Nan seemed to be discussing things with Liu Chatou, Liu Yan said very brightly: "Nan Nan, you talk, I'll go cook, and have a good meal at night, I haven't eaten well in the past two days." ”

Then she looked at Father Ye who was standing stupidly, like a piece of wood, and said angrily, "Where are you standing and what are you doing?" Come and help me light the fire. ”

"Madame, I'll help you." Jiang Jingjing also said very brightly.

Father Ye was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted: "Okay, I'll come now." ”

During these days, Father Ye's sense of existence is almost transparent, Ye Lanming doesn't care about him at all, and Ye Chengyan is not very close to him, only Ye Chengjing will come to him from time to time, and Liu Yan will look for him when he is useful, and he can't say two words at all at other times.

Father Ye, who was snubbed by everyone, silently acted as a little transparent and did things silently, hoping that one day he could regain the intimacy of his wife and children.

It's just that the damage has already been done and it's not so easy to erase.

After Liu Yan took Ye's father away, Ye Chengyan originally wanted to find an excuse to slip away, but Ye Lanming grabbed her sleeve and left her, she also planned to train her eldest brother to be a capable assistant!

"Cats!" Pushing open the door of the small garden of the inner house, Ye Chengjing saw the tiger and cat sleeping on the grass at a glance.

His eyes lit up, and he ran straight to the sleeping cat.

The cat in the dreamland shivered, woke up from sleep, and just opened its eyes to see a familiar face appear in front of the tiger.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The cat's whole body ejected, his eyes were full of horror, and he spread his paws and ran.

Oh my God, why is this man who can't even beat a tiger here again? Tiger has only had a good life for a few days!

"Let the two of them play, let's go in and talk about things."

Ye Lanming looked at the tiger and man who were fleeing and chasing, and smiled dotingly.

When they came to the living room, the four of them sat down, and Liu Chatou took the lead in saying: "I will go back in two days to resume my life, even if it is a quick horse, it will take more than a month, and it will take three months to submit my resignation and then return to Feng'an Town." ”

"Three months is enough, Brother Liu doesn't need to worry, there is Lord Liu to take care of it in Feng'an Town, and there is generally no problem."

"It's just that I'm going to trouble Brother Liu to help me do a few things on this trip." Ye Lanming said.

"Miss Ye, please speak."

"First thing: When I passed through Feng'an Town on the way back, I asked Brother Liu and Liu Zhizhou to say that each batch of charcoal would be sent to Mocheng on a fixed basis, and the agreement between me and the Zheng family had expired, and other merchants could also buy charcoal to sell."

"The second thing is a bit dangerous, Lord Liu returned to the capital and tried his best to inquire about the affairs of those earls of the family, big and small, under the premise of ensuring his own safety, he can inquire how much and how much, and he will spend as much as he can where he wants to spend money, and come back to me for reimbursement."

Liu Chatou's original face was very relaxed, but after hearing Ye Lanming's second request, his face slowly turned up.

Jiang Shijun, who was sitting next to him, instantly understood Ye Lanming's plan, he sighed in his heart, his heart was different, although the young lady always said that after arriving in Mobei, he would start a small business and live a leisurely life; But in fact, it still silently began to lay out.

"Little sister, what are you doing asking about these?" In the end, Ye Chengyan is just a young man who only studies hard, and his sensitivity to political affairs is not as high as Jiang Shijun's, and he has not figured out the twists and turns.

"Miss wants to defend Mocheng." Jiang Shijun explained: "This situation in Mocheng has something to do with the indifferent or even faint suppression in Beijing. ”

"If the imperial court attaches importance to Mobei and the reinforcements and materials are in place in time, it is impossible for Mocheng to be in this miserable state now!" Jiang Shijun explained.

He still hasn't said a word, it is estimated that the people in Beijing now wish that Mocheng would be broken, and the Mojia army would die in unison, so that they could solve the big trouble.

"What's in it for them!" Ye Chengyan also faintly realized under Jiang Shijun's guidance, his face turned red, and he was angry.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road, what does the life and death of the people have to do with them? It was not they who died. Ye Lanming said sarcastically.

In troubled times, the most bitter people are the people.
