Ma Yun shouted angrily: "You are so brave, you dare to openly abduct and traffic children!"
The two nanny looked at each other, not knowing why she was so angry, and said tremblingly: "Reply to Madam, these people are definitely not kidnapped by villains. They are children of poor families. The family can no longer survive, so they have to sell their sons and daughters.
, all voluntarily. The little people know that the governor wants to buy slaves, so we specially selected some honest and responsible ones."
Only then did Ma Yun realize that she had mistaken the age again, and thought she was in the police station. However, the more than ten children looked pitiful. The oldest was only twelve or three years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight.
She was originally only planning to buy three or four maids and slaves, but now her heart softened and she bought all these children. However, the nanny did not dare to ask for random prices. There were a total of eight girls, four boys, and twelve children.
They only wanted five hundred copper coins. Ma Yun counted out six thousand coins, sent Ya Po away, and took the children directly to Liu Xin's study.
Liu Xin looked at the children Ma Yun bought and couldn't help but smile: "Honey, you have such a vision. These are the servants you picked back. I think they are all half-grown children. Can they do anything?"
Ma Yun said unconvinced: "These are the only children Yapa brought. I saw how pitiful they were, so I bought them all. You are not short of money anyway."
At this time, a little girl said: "Master, we can do laundry and cooking, so you can keep us. If no one buys us in another month, we will be sold to a brothel and become prostitutes."
, Master, please show mercy and save us."
Liu Xin looked at the little girl carefully. She was about 12 or 3 years old. She was pretty, but a little thinner, and her face had no color. She probably had poor nutrition, so she said, "You can talk pretty well with a small mouth."
, what’s your name? How old are you this year?”
"My name is Erya, I am fourteen years old this year."
"Okay, then you all can stay. Since you know how to wash and cook, you will make the lunch today." Liu Xin turned to Ma Yun again, "Honey, you take them down to settle down first. I guess the firewood, rice, oil and salt in this house are still there.
No, you give them some money, ask them to go out to buy it, and make lunch first. Come over later, I have something to tell you."
Ma Yun took the group of children out for only a moment, then turned back and sat down next to Liu Xin angrily without saying a word.
Liu Xin put down the volume in her hand and asked strangely: "What? Are you still angry? Are you arranged so quickly?"
Ma Yun rolled her eyes at him and said: "I'm not angry, you should be the one who is angry. You are the governor of Hejian and the parent officer here. Look at how old these children are. They have no choice but to sell themselves as slaves.
Are you really prepared to make them slaves at home?"
Liu Xin gently caressed Ma Yun's shoulder, handed her a tea cup, and said: "Good wife, you have worked hard with me during this time. I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine, so you can calm down first."
Ma Yun was not polite, took the tea cup, drank it down in one gulp, and said, "I asked Dian Wei to take those children to the street to buy groceries."
Liu Xin had just finished drinking half of the tea. When she heard Ma Yun's words, she imagined a two-meter-tall strong man carrying a vegetable basket and leading a group of children around the vegetable market. He couldn't help but make a "plop" sound and squirted out a mouthful of water.
It splashed on Ma Yun's face.
Ma Yun said angrily: "Why are you like this? What's so funny." After saying that, she grabbed Liu Xin's robe as a towel and wiped the tea on her face.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh, I won't laugh." Liu Xin gently hugged Ma Yun and said, "Come, let's talk about business. It turns out that my original intention was to take the lid of my adoptive father's box to find Liu Zhong to get some money back.
Then find a peaceful place to buy a piece of land, build a house, and live a peaceful life. Who knows, by some mistake, I didn't get much money, but I got a prefect, and my future life will not be peaceful."
Ma Yun wiped her face clean and said, "No matter what you do, I will just follow you."
Liu Xin said: "Listen to what I have to say. I began to think of Changshan County and wanted to ask Zhao Yun to be a helper. Now that Dian Wei is by my side, I am not in a hurry. But I still made a mistake. It is now 182, 184
The Yellow Turban Uprising will occur in the spring of the year after next, and the leader of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Jiao, is from Julu County, Jizhou, which should not be too far away, and Jizhou is also a central area of the Yellow Turban Uprising. It seems that we only have one year
The peaceful days have passed."
Liu Xin took a sip of water and continued: "Even this year, life may not be stable. Did you pay attention to Li Cheng and Zhang Jun today? They are the second and third leaders in Hejian. In the past six months in Hejian,
Li Cheng has always acted as the prefect. Today, Li Cheng said a lot of flattery, but Zhang Jun said nothing. Furthermore, as the prefect, I only had two sergeants at the door, and this prefect
The mansion doesn't even prepare a single servant. And I don't believe that Ya Po has only these children for sale. Based on my analysis, Li Cheng has everything in Hejian, and he wants to give me a showdown. Of course he
You don’t dare to blatantly kill me as a superior, but you will definitely find ways to evade me.”
Ma Yun pondered for a while and said: "Husband, your analysis makes sense. Since he wants to give us power, we should let him get angry! In addition, I think Li Cheng and Zhang Jun are not getting along well, so we can also take advantage of it.
one time."
"Well, we need to discuss this matter in the long term. I don't want to be a puppet in Hejian. You also need to adapt as soon as possible. We are not in the 21st century now, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty." Liu Xin nodded and said.
The two sat down again, looking through a pile of letters sent by Li Cheng, and discussing countermeasures. Even lunch was arranged in the study room. The food cooked by these children was not bad, but it was not delicious.
The two of them spent the entire afternoon in the study. Neither of them had much experience in officialdom. After discussing for an entire afternoon, they only came to the conclusion that in order to take back control of Hejian from Li Cheng, it was necessary to
He has his own power, and currently he can only work with Li Chengxu, and he can secretly recruit some talents for his own use. As for what kind of talents are needed, because there is a strong general like Dian Wei here, and Liu Xin is not a weak scholar, both of them think
In urgent need of some advisers, Liu Xin made up her mind and prepared to find an opportunity to talk to Zhang Jun first. After the discussion, Liu Xin ordered to have dinner early, have a good rest at night, and meet with Li Cheng, Zhang Jun and all the officials tomorrow.
After dinner, Liu Xin went to the backyard and started practicing. When he came down from the boxing, she found Erya standing next to her. Ma Yun did not watch him boxing as usual. Liu Xin asked strangely: "Where's Madam?"
Erya replied: "Madam is a little tired. She wants to rest early and goes back to the room to take a bath. Have you finished practicing your boxing? My servant will take care of me and take a bath."
Although Liu Xin asked Ma Yun to adapt as soon as possible, she could not adapt to taking a bath. She asked a little girl to serve beside her, so she waved her hand and said, "You are not needed here. You go take care of my wife. I will just take a shower myself."
Liu Xin returned to the back house and saw that the lights were still on, so she walked in quietly. Erya, who was sitting outside, saw Liu Xin coming in and was about to stand up to salute, but Liu Xin stopped her and quietly walked into the inner room.
, I saw Ma Yun sitting on the edge of the bed with her head lowered.
"Aren't you tired? Why don't you go to bed earlier?" Liu Xin walked over, held her in his arms, and asked with concern.
"I'm not tired, I'm waiting for you. These children finally had a full meal today, and they seem to be very happy here." Ma Yun bit her lips and continued, "We have been together for more than a month.
.I also want to have a child.”
For more than a month, although they called each other husband and wife, they only hugged and kissed each other, and did not do any further actions. Through the candlelight, Liu Xin saw a blush flying on Ma Yun's face, a faint
The scent of orchid and musk came, and he knew that Ma Yun was in love.
Liu Xin did not answer her words, but like a magic trick, she took out a small box from nowhere and handed it to Ma Yun: "This is for you."
"Given to me?" Ma Yun took the box, feeling a little strange.
Liu Xin encouraged: "Well, you open it and take a look."
Ma Yun opened it gently and found a pair of gold rings inside.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Liu Xin took out a ring, took Ma Yun's left hand, put it on her ring finger, and asked softly.
"I like it." Ma Yun stroked the ring gently and asked with tears in her eyes, "When did you buy it? Why didn't I know."
Liu Xin picked up the other one, put it on the ring finger of her left hand, looked at Ma Yun affectionately and said: "I didn't buy this, I made it myself. I learned jewelry processing for a while, but I haven't done it for a long time.
, and I don’t have the right tools, so it looks a bit ugly, so I’ll just make do with it, and I will definitely buy you something better in the future.”
Ma Yun suddenly threw herself into Liu Xin's arms, tears streaming down her face: "No! This is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen."
Liu Xin gently wiped her tears and said, "You're so good, why are you crying?"
"I didn't cry, I was so happy." Ma Yun nestled tightly in Liu Xin's arms.
"Honey, our situation is special. I can't give you a luxurious and grand wedding. But I promise that I will never let you down in this life. Now let us hold a wedding without a host, without a group of relatives and friends, without witnesses, only you.
My wedding!" Liu Xin held Ma Yun's hands tightly and said, "I would like to promise you that from today on, no matter it is good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, I will always love you.
You, cherish you till the end of time."
Ma Yun was so excited that she couldn't speak for a moment. When she was rescued by Liu Xin five years ago, she began to have a crush on this tall and handsome boy; when she found out that Liu Xin turned out to be a thief, she was filled with disappointment; when she learned that
She and Liu Xin traveled to the Eastern Han Dynasty together. She knew that she would never adapt to this society where men were superior to women. She didn't know if she would have the courage to survive if she married another man. Being with Liu Xin, who also came from the 21st century, would be helpless.
choice; and when she knew Liu Xin's past and what Liu Xin had done, especially when Liu Xin faced the tiger and pushed her away, she understood that she had really fallen in love with him and could not extricate herself.
But this bad guy keeps saying he wants to find Diao Chan and Er Qiao. I don’t know if it’s true or not, and I don’t know if he has himself in his heart. I didn’t expect Liu Xin to come up with such a romantic show. Happiness always comes too soon.
Quick, she won't be able to get used to it for a while.
