Mu Cheng was an orphan who started his career on the battlefield. There are no in-laws to serve in the family, and no relatives to move around.

That's not good.

Although it saves Lin Yi'an the tiring errand of serving his in-laws, for a military marquis who wants to gain a foothold in Yejing, without the support of his family forces, he will not be able to go far with his outstanding military exploits alone.

It is said that this time the emperor personally named Mu Cheng as a mighty general and ordered him to take command of the expedition. A twenty-year-old boy, the prince and the prince have not only added to the body, but also become a second-class general. is extremely favored, I am afraid that it has already caused others to be jealous.

If Mucheng is defeated, he will become the target of the people's anger. If he wins, even if the emperor can tolerate it, it is difficult for others to say. This battle, no matter how you look at it, is a game of death and life.

Sitting in the carriage back home, Lin Yi'an fell into deep thought.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and a woman's cry was heard in front of it.

Lin Yi'an lifted the curtain, and the street was surrounded by people watching the excitement. At the very end, there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in white sitting on the ground, desperately trying to get rid of the middle-aged man's drag.

"Dad, I beg you, don't sell me into the Qinglou! I'm your daughter! ”

"Phew! I finally raised you so big, and I dare to mess with the family affairs of Huang and Master Zhu, I won't sell you to your brother to study! ”

"Dad, I was wrong, can't I marry me?" The woman hugged the man's leg and cried so much that it rained.

"No one else wants you anymore! You're worth that money now! The man scolded.

What a pathetic man. It's a pity that the most important thing in this world is the poor man. Lin Yi'an put down the curtain and instructed the small corner door: "Go around from the side and go home." ”

The carriage was driven, and it didn't take two steps and stopped.

"This nobleman, please help me, I am willing to serve you as a cow and a horse for the rest of my life!"

Lin Yi'an lifted the curtain, and the woman knelt on the ground and held the wheels of the carriage tightly, her palms were bleeding without realizing it.

The man saw that Lin Yi'an had an extraordinary bearing, for fear that his daughter would disturb the nobleman who could not afford to offend. Hurriedly came up and pulled. The woman refused to let go, but just looked at Lin Yi'an, and there was still a trace of hope in her desperate eyes: "Please...... Help me......"

Lin Yi'an looked at the man who sold the woman: "How much are you going to sell her?" ”

The man looked at Lin Yi'an, although she was young, she pulled her hair up, she should be the wife of a rich family. With the mentality of making a false amount, the man spread his hands: "Fifty taels!" ”

Everyone was in an uproar, this girl didn't look like a fairy, even if she sold it to Qinglou, she couldn't sell it at this price.

"I went to the tooth shop to buy a maid for only ten taels of silver. What can I exchange fifty taels for you? Lin Yi'an said this to the woman with the wheel.

"Faithful! Madame exchanged fifty taels for my cheap life and a lifetime of loyalty! The woman seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and refused to let go no matter how the blood on her hands flowed.

Lin Yi'an likes the tenacity in her. She immediately smiled, revealing two good-looking pear vortices: "I agreed." I hope you get the best value for your money. ”

After that, Xiao Jiaomen led the money bag given by Lin Yi'an to give the money. Originally, the man was just a gamble, but who expected to run into a big wrong. He happily took the silver, thanked him flatteringly, and left in style.

The woman stared at her father's resolute departure, her eyes bursting with bitter hatred. Lin Yi'an didn't know, put down the curtain indifferently, and said to Xiaojiaomen: "Take her back to the house." ”

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Xuanwu Marquis' Mansion. Lichun had been standing outside the house for a long time, and when he saw Lin Yi'an coming down, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said with some resentment: "Madame just left me behind." ”

"You're fat, and you can't run fast when the carriage hits you." Lin Yi'an quipped.

Lichun sighed in annoyance: "Then the slave and maid will eat less." His eyes swept to the woman in white behind Lin Yi'an, and Lichun asked, "What is this?" ”

"By the way, I haven't had time to ask your name yet?" Lin Yi'an was stunned.

The woman in white lowered her head: "That name is disgusting." Please give the name of the lady. ”

It seems that he hates the original family very much. Lin Yi'an thought for a while: "It's called the summer solstice." ”

Summer solstice...... The woman nodded, she liked the name.

"Gather green, first take the summer solstice handle to bandage the wound on your hand. Let's go to Taolu Zhai together. Lin Yi'an walked towards the house while instructing, and when she reached the door, she suddenly paused: "That small corner gate is a good car, and he will drive me when I go out in the future." ”

Uncle Dong was already waiting in Taolu with a group of people in the house.

"Uncle Dong's horse, come back one step ahead of you." Lichun said in a low voice.

In the peach green house, the mothers, maids, little maids, guards, coachmen, grooms, men, women, old and young, stood in the dark. In the blink of an eye, there were fifty or sixty people.

Lin Yi'an felt that his head was big. In the past, the people in her courtyard in the Lin Mansion were very simple, and there were only five or six maids back and forth. Now when I see so many people at first glance, I suddenly feel a little headache.

"Madame is here." Uncle Dong greeted him: "There are eighty-six people in our mansion, plus there are twenty elite people left by the Hou Ye before departure to protect the safety of the mansion." ”

On the high platform in the open air, there is a relief fragrant wood Taishi chair. It's obviously for the new lady.

Lin Yi'an sat down, his waist straight. His eyes swept over the people with different expressions in the audience.

"The domestic and the foreign stand separately." The new lady spoke, coupled with Uncle Dong's warning eyes, and everyone quickly separated and stood up very interestingly.

At this stop, not only Lin Yi'an was surprised, but even Lichun was stunned.

The grandmothers and maids in the emotional house, but all of them are women, all of them were bought temporarily because Lin Yi'an got married.

Uncle Dong smiled a little embarrassedly: "Madame, I don't know, there were no female dependents in our house. This is not the marriage of the Hou Ye, the old slave thought that it was not a matter that the house was full of male dependents, so he went to Yaxing to choose some people to come back. Some of them were also sent by other families. ”

Lin Yi'an has mixed feelings.

There are no female dependents, which means that her husband is a bad woman, and at the same time, it means that she has to teach all the female dependents in the house one by one.

This is no easy task.

Most of the men in the house have been following Mu Cheng, some are veterans who have retired from the barracks, and some are picked up by him in the war-torn villages. Most of them are more reliable. The most important thing is these newly bought maids.

"Ma'am." Huanlu came back with the summer solstice, and the two of them took the blessing and stood at the end of the crowd.

"Have all the children in the family been registered?" Lin Yi'an asked.

The new lady was much calmer than she had been. Uncle Dong replied: "Madame, don't worry, they are all familiar with the way." ”

"The son of that family still does the original errand." Lin Yi'an made the final decision: "The outsiders stay, and the rest are scattered." ”

There were only about 30 maids left in the audience. They all looked restless, sneaky, or smirked. In short, all kinds of beings.
