Chapter 62 The Last Chapter of Volume One (Part 1)
Old Chen grabbed the person's account in his hand and rummaged through it, and finally found her name: "Your Majesty, her last name is..."
Li Chongrun didn't like the old man's talkativeness, so he glared at him hard, and then the old man smiled coquettishly and closed his mouth.
"My surname is Gongsun, from North Street, Yancheng, Yuzhou."
The little lady who called herself Gongsun lowered her head and saluted. Her voice was a little low and hoarse, not as clear as other children. A slender scar was faintly visible in the hair that was several inches long. It must have been that she had shaved her head.
reason.
Li Chongrun said that it was no wonder he had short hair, but his facial features looked a bit soft. It turned out to be a little girl. "Where did the scar on her head come from?"
"Fleeing with my parents, I encountered bandits on the road and was chopped down by the bandits."
When Li Chongrun heard that bandits were involved, he became a little anxious. He stared at Old Chen and wanted to get angry, "You said you are all innocent, so why are bandits involved? Could it be that your dental shop is still doing something unworthy?
Business?"
Old Chen was already a little thin, but Li Chongrun had grown very fast recently, and there was not much difference in height between the two. It was just that Li Chongrun was much stronger. Old Chen was frightened by his aura, and became even more humble. He was just trembling.
He handed the personal account in his hand to Li Chongrun: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't blame the old man for this. She sold it by herself, not by robbery. Our Lifa Ya shop is doing serious business.
I don’t dare to do something illegal like that.”
Li Chongrun took the account book and looked at the column where Gongsun was written. He found that it was written on it: Gongsun's family, female, unknown, birth date, unknown, native place in Yancheng, Yuzhou, and the kinship column was filled in. There were also some appearance and physique.
Such descriptions. At the end, the reason for selling oneself is: selling oneself to bury one's mother.
"Has your mother been buried?" Li Chongrun looked at the little girl with a short head and felt a little panicked in his heart. A child of this age in the previous life should still be pestering his parents to watch more TV and have sex later.
Homework and so on. It’s just the way of this world, but you have to sell yourself to an unknown master, just to let your loved ones bury themselves in the ground.
Little Miss Gongsun didn't know that this little noble man, who looked about the same age as herself, asked this question without asking what she knew. She nodded silently, but tears fell down like broken beads.
"follow me."
"good."
Li Chongrun wanted to do something, but he didn't know where to start. He could only imitate the children who picked up fish at the beach, picking up small fish one by one and throwing them back into the sea. "Are there any as big as this? I want them all!"
"There was a disaster in Yuzhou a few days ago. The Ru River burst and flooded countless families. Less than one-tenth of them escaped alive. Our boss also had a kind heart and took in these twenty orphans. Although they were just immigrants.
If you become a slave, you will still have a life."
Old Chen timidly defended his boss, and then went to the back to bring a dozen children of this size over.
It's just that the children who came later haven't cleaned up yet, their clothes are tangled, and their hair is stained with dust and grass clippings.
When they saw a child who was not much older than themselves, but whose clothes were luxurious and outrageous, they did not dare to come up to him to greet him. They just huddled together humbly, hiding from the unknown future.
"You have enjoyed a great blessing. This young master is the most favored King of Linzi today, and he will be a big shot in the future. He is a seventh-grade official of the prime minister's family. If you become an official in the future, don't forget that you are my boss.
Just the blessing from Mr. Chen."
Old Chen wanted to scold him, but after taking a look at Li Chongrun's face, he didn't dare to pretend to be a bully. Instead, he babbled like an old lady and led the children one by one to Li Chongrun.
Comparing the names on the accounts one by one, Li Chongrun found that all the girls and most of the boys did not have names, and some did not even remember their last names. They just randomly wrote them under the name Jia Liu.
Li Chongrun wanted to say something, but he couldn't remember what to say for the moment, and with Old Chen's head nearby, nothing he could say was appropriate, so he just asked the price, "How much?"
"Back to the prince, the old man's boss has just made arrangements. The prince is kind-hearted, and our boss also has the beauty of adults. There are twenty-one dolls in total, and a total of thirty hangings."
"I didn't expect to buy so much. I'm afraid I can't fit it in the carriage. Can your bank help send it to the mansion?"
"That's natural. Don't worry, young prince. We are a dental shop. No one in the capital of Luoyang can say: reliable! Not only will it be delivered to your door, but it will be delivered to your home clean, white and tender. If you are too lazy to train us, we will
The dental shop can also train you well. Even the tasks of washing, cooking, women, gardening, etc. in the Jiaofang Division, our dental shop has several veterans who specially train them. They are all masters that our boss poached from the Jiaofang Division.
."
Lao Chen was still talking nonchalantly about advertising their dental shop, but Li Chongrun couldn't stand the noise anymore and waved his hand to stop him.
Li Chongrun arranged a few words in a low voice, and Lao Chen's eyes showed some confusion, but it quickly dissipated. He gathered a few handymen from the dental shop and took him down.
"It's almost done. I want to take my brothers to the small building for dinner, so I'll leave first. Later, you can go to the small building to settle accounts with Wang Rong."
Just when Li Chongrun was about to stand up, Old Chen came over with a mysterious smile on his face, "Your Majesty, stay here. I have a baby. I see that Your Majesty is a kind-hearted person. How about you take a look?"
look?"
Seeing the mysterious look on his face, Li Chongrun wondered if she was another princess from a small country in the Western Region. However, his curiosity was aroused and he simply sat down again, "Let's take a look?"
"Okay. Please wait a moment. I'll invite him over right away." Old Chen's smile was very meaningful. He bowed his back and saluted Li Chongrun, and walked backwards towards the door.
Not long after, Lao Chen came in with a man dressed in peasant attire.
"I have met His Royal Highness the King of Linzi."
The man's voice was very rough, sounding like an iron horse. He looked less than thirty, with a white face and no beard, curly hair and yellow eyebrows. He was nine feet long and had a waist that was ten inches wide.
"Get up, you're welcome." Li Chongrun looked at Old Man Chen with some suspicion. Although this guy was tall and round, he couldn't see why he could treat a man as a treasure and sell it to him seriously.
"Your Majesty, this is a master." Old Chen put his head close to his ear and whispered to Li Chongrun. He turned around and shouted loudly to the man: "Hurry up and show your skills to Your Majesty!"
"I only know how to kill people, but I don't know how to show off!" The man was very upright. "I only sell my strength, not my body. How can I be dragged out for a walk like an animal?"
"Despite your strength, you can't sell ten of them for the price of twenty for five years!" Old Chen was a little anxious, and he didn't care that Li Chongrun was still beside him, shouting at him at the top of his lungs.
Li Chongrun was a little surprised when he heard that this man was asking for twenty cents, and it was only five years old. He said to himself that he had just bought twenty-one for a total of thirty cents, and this man was asking for twenty cents in five years.
Shi Diao, I don’t know where it came from.
Perhaps because of Old Man Chen's persuasion, the rough man seemed a little moved, but he didn't know how to show off his martial arts, and his eyes were a little anxious.
He turned his head and saw a stone trough for horses to drink in the yard. His face showed joy, and he ran there in two steps. With a little strength in his hands, he lifted the stone trough steadily.
The stone trough was very big, probably weighing several hundred kilograms. The man lifted it up unsteadily, and water splashed all over the man from head to toe. The man didn't take it seriously, and with a loud roar, he threw the stone trough.
The stone trough was thrown more than ten steps away. There was a loud noise when the stone trough fell to the ground, and some dust fell down from the shaking beams.
"You idiot, you threw this stone trough so far away, how can we drink our horses?" Old Man Chen cursed angrily at the side, but then turned back to Li Chongrun with a smile on his face: "This is the son of an old friend of the old man.
, He doesn’t have any other abilities. He has great skills in his hands, and ordinary people can’t even think of relying on him. He’s just stupid from practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his words are not very likable.”
"Five years? Twenty hangings?" Li Chongrun was also very surprised by this guy's supernatural power. It would definitely not be a problem to participate in the Olympics or the Strongman competition and win the championship in the future.
"I borrowed the usury money from the temple, but I couldn't pay back the interest. The property at home was left by my ancestors, and I was reluctant to sell it, so I asked the little old man to find a boss. He didn't sell his life, but his strength. My family
I still have a wife and children to support." Old man Chen accompanied Smiley very carefully, for fear that the young master would refuse. "This is a private matter for the young man, and he will never take the blame. As long as the prince nods and adds a few
The year is also fine. I see that the prince needs a capable bodyguard by his side when he is walking, so this fool is just right."
Li Chongrun felt that he did lack a bodyguard, "Well, then you and the thirty men in front of you can go and settle accounts with Wang Rong."
The man listened to Li Chongrun and agreed. He just smiled innocently, wiped the water that was still flowing on his face, followed Li Chongrun with a happy face and wanted to leave.
"I don't know what to call this strong man?" Li Chongrun felt an extremely strong smell coming over him, the smell of horse feed, sweat, and the strong smell of farmyard manure. He quickly reached out to stop him and pulled his hand from his waist.
He took out his fan and fanned vigorously, trying to dispel the strong smell.
"My surname is Yang."
"Yang Zhuangshi, go and tell Old Chen, let him tidy you up according to the method I just arranged, and send you to my house together."
"Hey, okay." It wasn't until the strong man surnamed Yang happily went to find the old man Chen that Li Chongrun let go of his breath. He felt that with his biochemical attack skills, this guy could indeed make people
To the extent that it is impossible to get close.
We took the two brothers named Wu Xian and Wu Fan to have some drinks and food in the small building. We wanted to let Wu Xian, who likes Western music, perform a Western dance at the Boba Milk Tea on the second floor. But unfortunately, the Boba Milk Tea was sold by his cousin.
Xue Chongxun took him out to play, leaving only the little loli Aisha who couldn't understand the language to look after the house.
Li Chongrun told Aisha several times to sing a little tune, but they always talked about it the same way. The little loli seemed to just pour the wine correctly, and in a short time, she used Sanle juice to fill the three brothers.
It's hazy.
Fortunately, there was a groom today. The oldest Wu Xian helped Li Chongrun and Brother Fan onto the carriage, but he couldn't climb up. In the end, the groom helped him up. Gai Xue felt disgusted and collapsed on the carriage.
Li Chongrun, who was on the carriage, snorted a few times and followed the carriage home with small steps.
Early the next morning, Li Chongrun opened his eyes and found himself lying on a very unfamiliar bed. However, he smelled the smell of his aunt. When he sat up and took a look, Shangguan Wan'er was wearing a plain robe.
Wearing a bronze mirror to dress up.
"Good morning, aunt." Li Chongrun didn't know why he slept on Shangguan Wan'er's bed again, but he still had to have the proper etiquette. "I was happy yesterday, so I drank a little too much."
"My aunt knows that you are happy, so I don't mind." In the Tang Dynasty, drinking wine was regarded as an elegant thing. Emperor Taizong even made his own wine, and ministers were proud to get a pot of the emperor's wine. Following the example of others, scholars all regarded drinking wine as an elegant thing.
thing.
Li Chongrun smiled and chatted with Guan Wan'er for a while. He took the willow branch handed over by Fang'er out of habit, dipped it in some green salt, and went under the eaves to brush his teeth.
At this time, Ruyu hurried over and saluted Li Chongrun, who was brushing his teeth, "Your Majesty, there are two carriages outside. They say they are from the Lifa Dental Clinic and have sent some bald young monks over."
Shangguan Wan'er had just finished dressing up and walked out of the room. Li Chongrun took a closer look and saw that there was a very delicate plum blossom pasted on the scar between her eyebrows. The skin against it was as white as snow, giving her a distinct smell of proud snow and cold plum blossoms.
"Why does the dental shop still sell monks?" Shangguan Wan'er looked at Li Chongrun very puzzled, "If you feel that there is a shortage of people in the house, tell your aunt, Ye Ting and the Jiaofang Department can just pick and choose, and you can't afford to spend money.
Buy. Besides, that’s what we can buy and sell, monk?”
"I originally wanted to buy two bookboys for Brother Fan after yesterday. I saw a few children who were really pitiful, so I accidentally bought a few more." With Ruyu present, Li Chongrun couldn't tell him his arrangement directly.
So he simply pretended to be a child. "I saw how dirty they were yesterday and there were lice in their hair, so I asked the dentist to clean them up."
Shangguan Wan'er loves to be clean, so she didn't refute this reason. Moreover, when she saw Li Chongrun's eyes dodge a little, she knew that he had his own arrangements, presumably related to the arrangements of Her Royal Highness, so she stopped paying attention to the matter. She just said that she would wait a moment.
If you want to go to court, let Li Chongrun make your own arrangements.
After Li Chongrun brushed his teeth, Ruyu had already arrived in front of Li Chongrun with a string of large and small bald heads.
"I have met the prince." A group of bald heads, big and small, uniformly dressed in linen robes stood in front of him. Li Chongrun felt as if he had become a monk... He touched his hair with some palpitations, but fortunately, it was still there.
"follow me."
Li Chongrun didn't say anything. Ruyu and Fang'er were both there, so there were many things he couldn't say directly. He reached out and took a dozen deeds of sale from Ruyu's hand, and Li Chongrun walked towards the courtyard at the deepest part of the palace with a string of bald heads.
The painting boat at the entrance of the small courtyard is a very suitable place for giving lectures.
What exactly did Li Chongrun say to them? Ruyu didn't dare to get close, so naturally she didn't hear it. She saw Li Chongrun waving the rendition contract in his hand, dancing and talking very indignantly.
When Li Chongrun brought them back, all the little children had red eyes, as if they had cried. Only the big man followed Li Chongrun with a silly smile, looking loyal.
"Sister Ruyu, take them to buy some clothes. Wearing this linen robe, I always feel like a monk." Li Chongrun looked as usual and joked with Ruyu happily.
Ruyu was already prepared and asked several palace attendants to take them to the side room in the front yard to measure the dimensions. Naturally, there were palace attendants to do it.
Just as the group was about to go out of the backyard, Qiniang walked in from the front yard carrying her own long knife. When she saw the stupid man following Li Chongrun, she rushed up with a single step without taking out the long knife.
