Xiahou Shuang got up and welcomed the second brother into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiahou Ze also poured himself a full cup of tea and drank it, drank two cups in a row before putting it down, looked at Xiahou Shuang, who was pursing his lips and smiling on the side, and said: "Sister, don't blame the second brother for being reckless, what you entrusted me to do last time was done, today I received the news and personally went to the slave market outside the city to bring people, and I didn't come back in the morning until now to rest, this will be hungry and thirsty." ”

As soon as Xiahou Shuang heard this, she hurriedly called Luhu to bring a few plates of dim sum, asked Xiahou Ze to fill his stomach first, and then asked Qiaoyu to prepare a few side dishes.

Xiahou Ze was not polite at the moment, and he ate one bite at a time, and the table was full of slag.

After a while, he brought two vegetarian dishes with clever hands and feet, and sent a bowl of shredded chicken noodles, thin noodles into the chicken soup that had been boiled for a long time, and after cooking, he took out and put a few shallots, and the fragrant smell aroused Xiahou Ze's appetite, and a bowl of noodles was quickly eaten upside down, and he burped without care after eating.

provoked Xiahou Shuang and a few maids all covered their mouths and snickered.

Xiahou Ze looked at it and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be surprised, the second brother is very gentle on weekdays, but today he is really hungry, and the maid here is really delicious, so that the second brother and I have no image of eating so enjoyable." ”

Xiahou Shuang chuckled: "I know, I definitely won't tell about today's events, the province will affect the image of the second brother Yushu Linfeng." ”

"My sister is going to talk and count. Xiahou Ze shook his hair, trying to make a handsome expression.

Seeing this scene, everyone laughed even more.

Xiahou Shuang couldn't have imagined that his second brother still had such a living treasure, and when he calmed down, he asked, "Can the second brother bring people back?"

Xia Houze nodded: "Bring it back, it's in the corner gate, I'll have someone send it over later." ”

As he finished speaking, Gao Qing, Xiahou Ze's little servant outside the door, said in the courtyard: "The person has been brought, please take a look at the young master." ”

Xiahou Ze and Xiahou Shuang came to the courtyard together, only to see two men, one woman and three people standing in the courtyard.

Xiahou Ze took out a few deeds of sale, pointed at these people and said to Xiahou Shuang: "I have found out the bottom of these three people, this little girl and the little thin monkey are sisters and brothers, and the family originally opened a pharmacy. ”

"The father offended a squire and was designed to borrow usury, and because he had no money to pay it back, their father was beaten to death, and the mother committed suicide, leaving only the two siblings who were pulled out and sold to pay off the debt. ”

He pointed to another boy who was a little sturdy and said, "This is an orphan, adopted by the master, the master was falsely accused of greedy ink and imprisoned by the owner, this child sold himself to think that he could pay off the master's debts with some silver." ”

Xiahou Shuang was only slightly moved after listening to the life experiences of these people, it is difficult for people in the world to manage the affairs of the world, and there are too many unfair things behind the singing and dancing.

Pointing at this girl and asking, "What's your name, how old are you?"

When the little girl first entered the mansion, she was frightened by the exquisite atmosphere of the mansion and cringed, she saw that Xiahou Shuang was just a young lady who was not very old, and her heart suddenly settled down a lot, and she took a step forward and said: "My name is Shang Lu, and I am fourteen years old this year." ”

Chunya said dissatisfiedly: "When I see the young lady, I want to call myself a slave." ”

Xiahou Shuang waved her hand lightly and said, "You might as well teach her slowly in the future." ”

He asked Xiang Shanglu again: "Can you prescribe a prescription to get medicine?"

Shang Lu glanced at Chunya, and felt that the sister next to this young lady was a little unkind, and replied a little crampedly: "Yes, my family runs a pharmacy." I've been living in a pharmacy for as long as I can remember, and when I'm older, I'll help my dad. Before my father's accident, he sometimes asked me to prescribe medicine for some women. ”

After a pause, he said: "My father often said that as a woman, if you learn a skill, you will have something to eat, and even if you marry in the future, you will not be bullied." After saying that, it aroused sadness, and the circles under his eyes were red.

Xiahou Shuang sighed for a while when she heard this, she is really a good father who sees it so long-term. It is better to give a man a fish than to give a man a fish, but it is a pity that he is such a good father.

He came back to his senses and said to Shang Lu, "Your father is right. ”

Shang Luyan hurriedly said, "Thank you Miss for your compliment." ”

Xiahou Shuang pointed at her brother and asked, "What's your brother's name, and how old is he?"

Shang Lu beckoned his younger brother to step forward, Shang Nanxing was a little restrained, and he didn't answer, Shang Lu was afraid of annoying Xiahou Shuang and hurriedly replied for him: "My brother's name is Shang Nanxing, and he is ten years old this year. ”

After speaking, he pulled Shang Nanxing to kneel down and kowtow and said, "My brother and I can endure hardships and do any work, please Miss to stay with us." ”

Shang Lu was very scared, since that day his father was taken away by several fierce men and never came back, his mother went out and came back and hanged herself, and in a blink of an eye, the happy family of four was left with himself and his younger brother.

Those people did not let go of their sister and brother, they were tied to the slave market to sell, and in the slave market, people were like cattle, they were wantonly humiliated and beaten by the sellers, and there were wails in their ears every day, Shang Lu never wanted to return to that scary place.

What's more, the group of big men bluntly said that if there was no buyer after today, they would give themselves to a powerful local scoundrel as a concubine, I heard that the scoundrel killed his three concubines before and after, Shang Lu didn't want to be that person's concubine, so he only desperately begged Xiahou Shuang to keep the two sisters and brothers.

Xiahou Shuang motioned to Chunya to step forward and pull up the two: "Don't be afraid, since you are in the mansion, I will not let you go back." ”

Hearing this, Shang Lu relieved himself and stood up.

Xiahou Shuang looked at the other boy again and asked, "What's your name, how old are you?"

"My name is Luo Rui, and I am sixteen this year. Luo Rui replied a little stubbornly.

Xiahou Shuang continued to ask, "What will you do?"

"I was adopted by Master since I was a child, and when I was a little older, I went to the account room to help, and I could calculate the accounts and read the account books. ”

Hearing this, Xiahou Shuang nodded and said to Xiahou Ze: "Second brother has worked hard, I will stay with these people." ”

At this time, Luo Rui suddenly said: "If Miss stays with me, please rescue my master, otherwise you will send me back to the slave market." ”

"You kid dare to make conditions. Xiahou Ze smiled with interest.

"But he's also a grateful person. Xiahou Shuang looked at Xiahou Ze after speaking.

Xiahou Ze raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay, this matter is on me, who made me so capable, but let's talk about it, I can't help in vain, every time I come to my sister's place in the future, I will have your maid to prepare food and serve it." ”

Xiahou Shuang pursed her lips and smiled: "Then thank the second brother first." ”

Xiahou Ze saw that there was nothing left of him, so he greeted Xiahou Shuang and began to leave.

Before leaving, he said to Luo Rui: "You kid listen to the arrangement of the eldest lady, stay in peace, and I will bring your master to meet you in a few days." ”

Luo Rui's face turned red with excitement when she heard this, her mouth squirmed and she didn't know what to say, she just bowed her head and clenched her fists and bowed to Xiahou Ze, it should not have been so solemn to thank people, and she made a mess.

Xiahou Ze sighed, shook his head, and left with Gao Qing.

Xiahou Shuang summoned Wang Chong to explain that he would take the two boys down to arrange a place to live temporarily, and asked Chunya to take Shang Lu to the residence to rest.
