Yan Ning wanted to meet Guo Xin and Guo Xi first, just to see what Guo Xi looked like and to observe her character. If she couldn't catch her eye, no matter how good Guo Xin was, she wouldn't consider it.
He won't let them see Yan Lang either.
Now that Guo Xi was qualified, Yan Ning allowed them to see Yan Lang.
However, selling one's life deed may not be acceptable to Guo Xin.
Guo Xin has always insisted on studying and never gave up no matter how difficult the environment was, which shows that he has great ambitions in his heart. If he has great ambitions, how can he be willing to sell his life?
Although after the body deed is sold, it can be redeemed later, or if the master is good, the body deed can be returned, but no one dares to say what will happen in the future. This sale may not be redeemable, so
Is Guo Xin still selling it?
After Yan Ning finished speaking, she sat there waiting for Guo Xin to make a decision.
As long as Guo Xin agreed, she would immediately call Yan Lang over.
Guo Xin did have great ambitions. His father was incompetent, but his grandfather was his lifelong belief. His grandfather opened a bookstore and taught children to read, because every time he took an exam, he would always fail. He was discouraged, so he
No longer an examiner, his grandfather held his hand before he died. Although he said nothing, Guo Xin could understand his sadness. He wanted to earn fame for the Guo family, but he couldn't.
At that time, Guo Xin swore that if his grandfather did not earn anything for the Guo family, he would definitely earn it for the Guo family.
If you want to earn fame, in addition to literature, you must also use martial arts.
Practicing both civil and military skills is the safest way.
Knowing the identity of Yan Ning, naturally also knew the identity of Yan Lang. The Yan family has guarded Lanzhou Pass for generations, and its reputation has spread far and wide. The most talked about is Yan Shaohou Yan Yun. Although Yan Shaohou died in the battle, Guo Guo
Xin felt that Yan Lang must be very powerful.
Being able to stay with Yan Lang, he can not only learn the ways of sages, but also learn martial arts. Why not?
Guo Xin did not hesitate and said bluntly: "I just said that as long as I can be a book boy, I will agree to any conditions. I am just worried about my sister. I am afraid that if I enter Yanzhai, she will be alone outside without anyone to take care of her.
Now that you have solved my biggest worry, I have nothing to worry about. I am willing to sell you my and my sister's body deed, but I also want to explain to you in advance that I will be able to get my and my sister back in the future.
When I make the contract, I hope you can fulfill it."
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Of course."
Yan Ning just urgently needs to find a book boy for Yan Lang now. That is to say, when Yan Lang was studying in Guiyang City, Yan Lang needed a book boy.
When Yan Lang completed his studies in Guiyang City and returned to Lanzhou Pass, he was no longer a scholar, but a soldier. At that time, there was no need for such a book boy by his side.
There is no need to wait until the future. If Guo Xin doesn't want to go when Yan Lang returns to Lanzhou Pass, she will naturally return the body bond between him and his sister to them, regardless of his ability.
Seeing that Yan Ning agreed to the last thing, Guo Xin took his sister and knelt down and said, "Thank you for taking me in. From now on, I will be Master Yan Lang's book boy."
Yan Ning said: "No need to kneel, get up."
Guo Xin pulled Guo Xi to stand up again, but he didn't sit down even after he stood up, he just stood there.
Yan Ning asked Nian Die to call Yan Lang over.
After Yan Lang entered the door, he glanced at Guo Xin and Guo Xi, then looked at Yang Xiaoli who was sitting in a corner, and finally looked at Yan Ning.
Yan Ning first introduced Yang Xiaoli to Yan Lang: "Yan Lang, this is Mr. Yang Xiaoli, the commander of the Silver Guards. Come here to pay me a visit."
Yan Lang raised his eyes and immediately came forward to greet him: "Yan Lang has met Lord Yang. Happy New Year to Lord Yang."
Yang Xiaoli nodded and said, "I also wish Master Yanlang a happy New Year."
Yan Ning called Yan Lang back, pointed at Guo Xin and said: "This person is Guo Xin, the book boy that the fourth sister found for you. Just now, the fourth sister has made an agreement with him. He is willing to sell his life and deeds and work by your side."
Shutong, his sister will also live here and do some simple work. I am quite satisfied with these two brothers and sisters. If you like it, we will sign a contract and get it done today.
, Have you not sorted out the books that Fourth Sister bought for you this morning? Just ask Guo Xin to sort them out for you."
Yan Lang said: "I just finished drawing the topography map during dinner, and I really haven't had time to sort out the books."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Guo Xin and asked, "How old are you?"
Guo Xin said: "11 years old."
Yan Lang thought to himself, he is the same age as me.
Yan Lang looked at Guo Xi again and asked, "How old is your sister?"
Guo Xin replied: "10 years old."
Yan Lang hummed and looked at Guo Xin carefully. Although he was wearing shabby clothes, his eyes were clear and his features were pretty. From his appearance, he was a kind person. Looking at Guo Xi again, he saw that the facial features on his palm-sized face were very delicate.
, Yan Lang only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.
Although Lanzhou Pass is far away from the border, there are also beauties there, but compared with the ladies from so many noble families in Guiyang City, they are definitely a little inferior. When Yan Lang first came to Guiyang City, he was the most beautiful one he had ever seen.
One girl was the girl who lent him a cloak that day and forced him to buy a menstrual belt.
But the Guo Xi in front of her is really a beauty.
Yan Lang said to Yan Ning: "The fourth sister can like someone that my brother also thinks is good, so let's sign a contract!"
Yang Xiaoli is still sitting here. Of course Yan Ning asked Yang Xiaoli to help with this. Yang Xiaoli is also willing to help. If she helps now, she will be embarrassed not to ask Yan Ning for help in the future.
With Yang Xiaoli taking action, this matter was of course quickly settled.
Yang Xiaoli took the personal deeds of Guo Xin and Guo Xi to the government office, and soon came back, handing over the personal deeds that had been reported and sealed to Yan Ning.
Yan Ning took the body deed and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Yang."
"You're welcome."
After saying that, he looked at Guo Xin: "I'm leaving first. Since you have chosen to stay in Yanzhai and be Yanlang's book boy, you should work hard from now on. I will come to see you and your sister when I have time."
Guo Xin said gratefully: "Thank you for taking care of Master Yang all the time. If Guo Xin can be used in any way in the future, Master Yang will repay Master Yang's kindness even if Guo Xin goes through fire and water."
Yang Xiaoli did not respond to these words and turned around to say goodbye to Yan Ning. Yan Ning personally walked him to the door and watched him drift away.
The Yang family is next door to the imperial concubine's house. The imperial concubine's house is close to Yan's residence. Naturally, the Yang family is also close to Yan's residence. With Ning Susu's relationship, Yan Ning believes that Yang Xiaoli will be the same in the future.
Taking special care of Yan Lang, Yan Lang's safety is completely guaranteed.
Although the coachman hasn't bought it yet, Wang Dazhuang is here. If she really can't buy it, she will always use Wang Dazhuang. Now Yanlang has a book boy, and he also has an extra little maid, and Yang Xiaoli has also got through.
Yes, Yan Ning was very happy.
She returned to the courtyard, called Mother Li, and ordered: "We will have supper at home tonight. You go and prepare it. By the way, arrange a place for Guo Xi. Guo Xi will arrange to sleep next to you, or sleep directly with you."
Okay, there is a stove in your house, and it is warm. The little girl will not get cold. Guo Xin sleeps with Yan Lang. They are both children, so they can take care of each other if they sleep together. There is also a stove in Yanlang's house, and it will be warm when they sleep.
Now, go and prepare things and make the bed first."
Mother Li said yes, thinking to herself, Yan Mei is such a good person.
She added a thick quilt to Yanlang's bed, and another thick quilt to her own bed, and then took Guo Xi there.
Mother Li asked: "Do you have any objection to sleeping with an old woman like me?"
Guo Xi stood in the warm ear room, shook her head and said, "No, I can sleep with Mother Li, and I need Mother Li to take care of me. Guo Xi can't even express gratitude, so there's no way I can have any objections."
Mother Li smiled and said: "If you want to be grateful, you should also be grateful to the lady. It's the lady who is kind-hearted."
Guo Xi nodded: "Yes, Miss Yan is a good person."
Mother Li smiled and said: "If you don't have any objection, we will live like this from now on. You are only ten years old. If you are still here when you are thirteen, I will not sleep with you. You will be considered old by then."
Now that we are girls, it’s hard for us to sleep together anymore.”
Guo Xin hummed. She didn't know what the situation would be like in three years, and it was hard for her to answer the question.
Mother Li was going to prepare things for midnight snacks, so she asked Guo Xi to follow her to help, and Guo Xi went.
Yan Lang took Guo Xin to the study room and asked Guo Xin to sort out the books Yan Ning bought in the morning and put them on the bookshelf. He took the geographical map he had drawn and went to find Yan Ning.
Yan Ning told him about the classics of mountains and rivers, starting from the simplest mountains and rivers.
Mother Li prepared things for midnight snacks and asked Guo Xi to inform Yan Ning.
Yan Ning closed the topography map and said to Yan Lang: "Let's go have supper first. If you are not sleepy after eating, the fourth sister will tell you more."
Yan Lang said hello, and the two siblings went to the main room in the front yard.
Nian Die followed.
Yan Ning called everyone over, including Mama Li, Wang Dazhuang, Guo Xin, and Guo Xi, and asked them to sit down and eat the pot together.
Because there is a stove at home, as long as you prepare a pot, you can eat the pot wherever you want.
In the pot is the broth cooked during the Chinese New Year, and the aroma is fragrant.
Mother Li prepared various meats and vegetables. Yan Ning asked Niandie to put the meat and vegetables into the pot first. She said to everyone: "Today there are two more people in Yanzhai. I am very happy. More people means that the house is more beautiful."
The more and more people there mean that the house is getting more and more prosperous, and as the house becomes more and more prosperous, you will also get better and better. I hope that in the coming year we will get better and better together.
It's a little late today. Let's have a pot meal first and welcome Guo Xin and Guo Xi. Tomorrow morning, Mrs. Li will buy some cloth and make two sets of clothes for Guo Xin and Guo Xi, as well as two pairs of matching shoes. From now on we will
We are a family. My request is that a family should support each other and help each other. No matter how they are slaves, each should do their own job well. They should not cause trouble for others or make trouble for themselves. When they encounter problems, they cannot solve them.
Yes, don't insist on it, speak up and let everyone solve it together.
Yan Lang is the young master you have to serve. The most important thing you have to do is to serve him well and take good care of him. I still say the same thing, if you take good care of Yan Lang, you will be the hero. If you fail to take care of him, you will be the hero.
Dereliction of duty, and those who dereliction of duty will be punished.
I said this to Mother Li before, and I will say it again to Guo Xin and Guo Xi. I hope you two brothers and sisters will keep it in mind. I don’t like to discipline and punish my servants, but if you fail in your duties, I will not show mercy.
, Do you understand?”
Guo Xin glanced at Yan Ning and felt that this Yan beauty looked weak, but was actually very powerful. He said, "I understand, I will take good care of Young Master Yan Lang."
Guo Xi also whispered: "I understand this and will do my duty well."
Yan Ning stopped talking and asked everyone to pick up their chopsticks, and everyone started eating the pot happily.
Compared with the joyful atmosphere at Yanzhai, the atmosphere in Uncle Qi Wang's house was not so good.
Uncle Qi Wang originally sent assassins to assassinate the Yan family. Princess Qi knew it. Now she learned that the assassins sent by the palace were killed by the king. The king also sent palace guards to protect the Yan family. Of course, the king sent palace guards
The guards went to protect more than just the Yan family, but this incident still made Princess Qi very uneasy.
Princess Qi looked at Uncle Qi and said: "Husband, Your Majesty, will he anger us? Previously, I thought that the Yan family would die if they died, but now the appearance of Yan Ning has changed the fate of the Yan family.
For the sake of Yan Ning, will His Majesty capture us and give the Yan family an explanation?"
Uncle Qi Wang snorted coldly: "Who are the Yan family? The killers we sent out are not very good at it. Otherwise, the Yan family would have been wiped out long ago, and there would be nothing to do with Yan Ning. Now although Yan Ning has not been wiped out,
Family, but I also know the depth of the Yan family. Do I want to kill them in the future? Besides. As for His Majesty, he sent out the palace guards with great fanfare and everyone knew about it. It must be to give me a warning.
, now that I’ve been given a warning, I won’t be held accountable for anything more.”
He sighed and said: "Before he became a king, he seemed cold and ruthless. Now that he has become a king, he is even more unkind. I am his only uncle, and he doesn't even help me."
Princess Qi looked at her husband and felt that he seemed much older at that moment.
Princess Qi stepped forward and hugged Uncle Qi's arm, and whispered: "Your Majesty, how about we adopt an adopted son? When Jianxiu was here, His Majesty often came to the house. Although he was not very close to us,
But we often come to the palace to sit and sit. If we have more children, and this child can do something for His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely become close to us again."
Princess Qi was talking about adopting an adopted son, not an adoptive son. Uncle Qi raised his eyes and said, "You already have a candidate?"
Princess Qi shook her head: "No."
"Then why do you want to adopt a son instead of adopting a bastard in the house?"
Princess Qi pursed her lips: "I'm telling the truth, please don't be angry, Your Majesty."
"Say, I am not angry."
Princess Qi thought about it for a moment before speaking: "Most of the concubines in the palace are not worth mentioning. If they are adopted in our name, it will not play any role other than correcting their identities. In this case, what is the use of adopting?
