Chapter 101 Little Brother +34

Lu Jiuwan and a group of children looked at each other from a distance.

What do they want to do?

Hmm?

Oh~

"That kid, come up." Lu Jiuwan called Song Yu from a distance.

Song Yu quickly ran up, and Lu Jiuwan also came down from the building.

She handed him a few banknotes, "You're not nagging, are you? These are for you, take them and share them."

Song Yu's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he didn't take it.

Lu Jiuwan:?

"Don't want it?"

Song Yu: "There are so many children here, aren't you tempted?"

Lu Jiuwan: Huh?

"Why should I be tempted? I don't eat children."

Song Yu: "... So many children, they will grow up in the blink of an eye. How much money can they make for you when they grow up? Don't you calculate it?"

Lu Jiuwan smiled speechlessly.

"What do you want to say?" This kid is quite cunning.

Song Yu knew that she knew what he meant, so he simply said, "Raise them up, and all the money they earn in the future will be yours. You won't have to worry about food and clothing, and you can live the rest of your life in comfort and leisure."

"Then calculate, how much rice can so many children eat every day? I won't have to worry about food and drink in the future, but I worry every day now? Will I live to see the day when they make money for me?"

Song Yu felt guilty, so many children...

He tried to be confident, "But they don't need you to take care of everything, they just need an adult and a place to live. As for food, they can hunt, and the extra can be sold. We can also help you with work, you don't have to do anything, we help you wash clothes and cook."

If it were someone else, he wouldn't stay.

Here, he just wanted to escape.

However, he saw the tear she shed outside the training ground.

A woman who can shed tears.

He was willing to believe in his intuition.

Lu Jiuwan was silent.

Seeing her silence, he continued: "And there are four of us. In two years, we will be able to go out and make money soon. When the time comes, we will give you all the money we make."

Lu Jiuwan: "Why do you care about them? At your age, you can go home, or hang out somewhere for two years as an apprentice and grow up. Why sell yourself to me for them."

Lu Jiuwan looked at him and asked seriously.

Song Yu buried his head in silence.

He didn't know why he should care about them.

He just did it.

Because he understands them.

Only they know what they have been through.

"We have no home. Those who are sent here have no home. Only useful killers will be claimed by others. Even if we want to go back by ourselves, we can't find the way. We were sent here when we were very young, and our previous memories are becoming more and more vague."

Maybe I remember a few family members, but those memories are very distant.

Lu Jiuwan knows, for example, the original body.

In fact, Lu Jiuwan knows that when she didn't stop them from moving the bodies, she knew that she had softened her heart.

Alas~

First, I took in two big ones.

Now I took in a group of small ones.

There is still a small embryo in the belly.

Lu Jiuwan: Rebirth: I opened a shelter in ancient times.

"Okay, stay." After further nagging, they still stayed.

After all, if such a large group of specially trained children were released back into society, there would definitely be problems.

"Call them all up, I have something to say."

Song Yu's eyes sparkled with joy, and he hurried to the edge of the yard and waved to the people below.

"Come up, everyone, hurry up!"

The joy in Song Yu's voice made the silent children's eyes sparkle with hope.

They rushed up one after another.

According to the way they were trained on weekdays, they stood in front of Lu Jiuwan seriously.

Lu Jiuwan counted them, and there were a total of thirty-four, including Song Yu.

Twenty boys and fourteen girls.

So many young boys, they'll make me poor in no time.

"What's your name?" she asked Song Yu.

"Song Yu."

Lu Jiuwan stood in front of a group of children, looking dignified, "Song Yu begged me to keep you. Is there anyone who wants to leave?"

No one spoke.

"Since no one is talking, that means you all choose to stay. If you stay, you must follow my rules."

"First, the rules I set must be strictly followed. I am your head of the family, and you must obey my discipline."

"Second, be diligent. I don't like people who are cunning and sly."

"Third, you are not allowed to hurt anyone. From now on, you are not killers. You are just ordinary children. It is normal to have minor fights, but you are not allowed to hurt anyone, and you are even more prohibited from killing anyone."

"Fourth, forget everything in the past, start from scratch, care for each other, be united and friendly, and the big ones help the small ones, and the small ones help the big ones."

"There are still many rules left. I will list them one by one and post them on your bedside. You must remember every one of them."

"Now, those who can't do the few things I just said, stand up."

No one stood up.

These seemed to be very small things.

They didn't think there was any problem.

Lu Jiuwan nodded.

"Very good, in that case, from now on, I agree that you stay with me."

"Nothing to do today, there are many rooms downstairs, choose by yourself."

"Song Yu, give me a list of people tomorrow, with names, ages, and genders clearly recorded one by one."

Song Yu was shocked, "Yes, Master."

Lu Jiuwan: "... Don't call me Master."

Call me, call me...

Lu Jiuwan tapped his head.

"Call me Miss."

Originally wanted them to call me Senior Sister, or Big Sister or something.

But then I thought of Li Xuan and Huairong, and felt that I was a bit unfair to them.

Li Xuan and Huairong were at least able to serve me, and they were good to me.

These kids want her to serve them. What status can put them above the two of them?

Song Yu: "Yes, Miss."

"Listen carefully. When I'm not here, Song Yu will take care of you on my behalf. If you have any questions, go to him. If you think he's useless, come to me."

"Okay, go choose a room."

Song Yu: "Thank you, Miss."

A group of children who were originally turning around and preparing to leave happily stopped and thanked Lu Jiuwan stiffly and respectfully, "Thank you, Miss."

Lu Jiuwan turned and went into the house.

These children will stay for now. As for discipline, there is no rush.

Since it has been decided to raise them.

It is impossible to let them go and feed them with rice every day just to raise a group of coolies with well-developed limbs.

As for the detailed plan, they will wait until they adapt to the current life.

It was getting late.

She yawned.

The room was dark, but she could still see.

Compared with modern times, no matter how exquisite and luxurious the decoration here is, it still does not conform to the living habits of modern people.

There are no lights at night.

There is no heating and air conditioning when it is cold.

There is no refrigerator.

There is no shower room.

There is no clean and hygienic flush toilet.

Since she decided to stay here to take care of the fetus, and even live here for a long time in the future.

Then she will definitely solve all these problems.

Back to the room, put a battery lamp at the bedside.

The whole room is bright.

This place should be cleaned regularly, it is very clean.

It was a little chilly at night.

Lu Jiuwan changed into a thick quilt and mattress.

Then he went to wash up.

Chapter 102 Miss, we will cook and support you

She thought that there should be a lot of minerals in the hot spring, and she should not take a bath when she was pregnant.

She simply rinsed with water.

She changed into a clean pajamas and leisurely returned to the room wearing fabric slippers.

The room was covered with a beautifully patterned carpet, which was non-slip and beautiful, and not cold.

The room was very spacious, and the furniture was beautiful and practical, shiny and warm.

The wide chair was covered with a thick cushion, which was very comfortable to sit on, and there was a pillow.

The more Lu Jiuwan looked at it, the more satisfied she was. Her heart, which had always been suspended, seemed to slowly land in a safe place at this moment.

She had a home.

This is her home from now on.

Lu Jiuwan stood up with satisfaction and opened the window.

The moon was quietly hanging in the sky, with stars dotted around.

The mountains on the opposite side were faintly visible.

The cold wind blew in, and Lu Jiuwan gathered the clothes on her belly.

...

Song Yu led a group of people to the bedroom excitedly.

Seeing the exquisite and comfortable rooms, they were a little stunned.

Can each person really choose one?

This is not important.

The important thing is, is there really no one to let them kill each other anymore?

Today was originally the day of the duel, and many people thought they would die, but they didn't expect that after a few hours, they were still alive.

They can also choose a room that they never dreamed of as their own room.

Song Yu did not expect that he was determined to die, but now he is living a life that he dare not ask for.

"Choose it yourself. After you choose it, sit in the room and don't move. I will count and tell the lady not to change rooms casually in the future."

For more than 30 people, choosing a room is a very noisy thing.

Song Yu stood outside and frowned quickly.

In a room.

Both girls like the color of the bed curtains, so...

"You go out, I want this room."

"You go out, this is the one I like!"

"Impossible!"

The two looked at each other with murderous intent in their eyes.

"You all come out, no one can choose this room now." Song Yu walked in and said toughly.

The two of them looked at him at the same time without any time to retract their gazes.

Song Yu narrowed his eyes, "Put away your gazes, don't let me see them again."

The two looked at each other unconvinced and walked out of the room.

Song Yu had just come out when he heard the sound of fighting from another room.

He hurried over to the sound, and saw two children in their teens fighting fiercely.

Song Yu was afraid that Lu Jiuwan would hear him.

He quickly inserted himself into the fight between the two, raised his hand to block the move that one of them had no time to retract, and punched him in the abdomen with all his strength, and at the same time quickly turned around and kicked the other one hard with one foot.

Many little heads were lying at the door, watching the excitement inside.

Song Yu was sent out to perform tasks before he became a killer, and his fighting power was obviously higher than all of them.

The two separated people did not rush up again, and stood stubbornly in place.

"The rules that the lady just said, fighting is not allowed."

One person raised his neck, "The lady said that no one is allowed to hurt or kill people!"

Song Yu: "... You want to decide the winner without hurting anyone?"

The man stopped talking.

"Everyone come out, no one is allowed to choose."

Song Yu walked to the corridor and repeated loudly again.

"Everyone, all choices are invalid, and draw lots to decide. If you want to change rooms after the draw, go and discuss it yourself."

"If anyone dares to fight or quarrel again, two people will sleep in one room."

Everyone was silent.

No one wanted to share a room with others.

Having a room of their own symbolized the beginning of their new life.

Or was this mandatory measure effective?

Song Yu quickly divided the rooms.

Next to the courtyard of the bedroom was a stream flowing down from the mountain, with hot springs.

Everyone happily washed their faces and feet, and the girls took off their shoes without hesitation and soaked in the water.

"Gu~"

Someone's stomach rumbled.

Song Yu looked to the side.

The half-grown girl's embarrassment caused by hunger could not be hidden in the darkness.

"Hungry?"

Wei Qing said lightly, "No."

It's just one day without food.

Song Yu retracted his gaze.

"I'm hungry." A male voice said tentatively beside Wei Qing.

Song Yu looked over and saw that it was Mo Chun.

"If you're hungry, drink some water." He used his foot to scoop up some water.

Xia Qing beside him added lightly, "It's still hot."

Mo Chun: ...

"I'm hungry too."

"I'm hungry too."

"..."

The younger children were all hungry.

Like they were calling their mothers.

Nanny Song Yu looked up at the palace at the top.

"The young lady has already rested. Be patient and we'll talk tomorrow morning."

Everyone lowered their heads in silence.

A girl of seven or eight said, "I still have half a steamed bun hidden over there in the training ground. I want to get it."

Song Yu frowned, "No."

The girl was immediately discouraged.

Song Yu knew that everyone was hungry, and he was hungry too.

"Mo Chun, come down with me to find out if there is any food. Let's prepare food for everyone first. After asking the young lady for permission tomorrow, we will go to the back mountain to hunt."

Mo Chun was very active. He put on his shoes and followed without even shaking off the water on his feet.

The two were surprised to find the kitchen and warehouse.

More than 30 children squeezed in together.

The rice was placed in front of them.

Song Yu: "Who can cook?"

There was silence.

Wei Qing hesitated for a moment, "Cooking rice is just putting rice and water in a pot and cooking them together. It shouldn't be that difficult."

Xia Qing: "Well, let's try."

Song Yu: "What about cooking?"

Someone answered, "Just put salt and vegetables in the pot together!"

Mo Chun: "Let's try."

"Well, let's try it." Song Yu could only agree.

Thinking of the promise he made to the young lady today, saying that they would wash clothes and cook for the young lady, he felt a little guilty for some reason.

Wei Qing looked at the rice jar, turned his head and looked at the people, one shovel went down, another shovel went down, and another shovel went down...

Song Yu: "...Enough."

Wei Qing looked at him affirmatively, "I counted, thirty-four people, one shovel per person."

Song Yu looked at the big pot of rice and felt that it was wrong.

He took the basin and poured half of it back into the rice jar.

"Eat less at night, and go to sleep after eating. You won't feel hungry when you fall asleep."

If the young lady finds out that there is so much less rice in the rice jar tomorrow, she might feel distressed.

No one objected, after all, everyone saw it.

If she eats thirty-four scoops tonight, the rice jar will soon be gone.

They felt a little guilty.

Lu Jiuwan smelled a burnt smell in her dream.

She turned over and continued to sleep.

She turned over again and sat up.

She walked to the window and smelled it carefully. It was really not an illusion.

"Are you cooking?"

Only then did she remember that she hadn't eaten.

She would always unconsciously take snacks from the space, so she was not hungry at all.

She found a thick cape from the space and put it on. It was made by Li Xuan's mother.

She took down a lantern.

She put a hook-type rechargeable light bulb inside.

She carried the lantern down the plank road.

The smell of burning became stronger and stronger.

What did they do? They were so fierce.

The closer they got, the louder the sound became.

"Hurry up, it's burnt, don't turn it over, shovel it up, shovel it up."

"Add some water and drink the soup."

"Turn down the fire!"

Chapter 103 "The teacher said it's been half a year, and it's time to learn how to kill. So it's half a year."

Lu Jiuwan pushed open the door, and there was a lot of heated discussion inside, it was so noisy.

It was just a slight sound and a faint change in light.

All the voices stopped in an instant.

They quickly turned around and made a confrontational posture.

Their eyes were full of subconscious coldness and even murderous intent.

Lu Jiuwan said softly.

What a group of wolf cubs.

More than 30 children stared at her fiercely, which was quite spectacular.

Seeing that it was the young lady.

Everyone silently began to restrain their expressions.

Everyone lowered their heads, raised their eyelids, and looked at her cautiously with restrained hands and feet.

As if they had done something wrong.

Watching a group of wolf cubs silently transform into puppies.

Lu Jiuwan was quite satisfied. After all, they needed someone to be afraid of them in order to calm them down.

She moved her eyes to the stove, watching the smoke inside slowly turn black and thicker, "Okay, it's all burnt."

Everyone moved their eyes to the stove with concern, their eyes full of loss and frustration.

It's funny that they can't eat even if they have rice.

Mo Chun hurriedly turned off the fire, but the pot had already turned into a ball of charcoal.

Black and yellow, with a burnt smell.

Song Yu clenched his fist and walked towards Lu Jiuwan, "Miss, we are all hungry. We didn't come to ask for instructions when we saw you were resting."

Lu Jiuwan didn't care much and walked to the stove with a lantern to take a look.

Everyone's eyes swept over her lantern, it was so bright!

In the big pot, there was a pot full of black rice, with a strong smell of burning.

In another pot, smoking, there was a big pot of black, yellow, burnt and raw potato chips of varying thickness stuck to the pot.

Four kinds of potato chips appeared in one pot, which was considered innovative.

She smiled speechlessly.

"There are so many of you, but none of you can cook?"

Song Yu lowered his head deeply, ashamed to say so.

Lu Jiuwan looked at him, "Wash my clothes and cook for me?"

Song Yu: ...

"Are you trying to poison me and occupy the villa?"

Song Yu: "...No."

"Next time you wash my clothes, do you want to tear them apart and wash them piece by piece? You take one piece, he takes one piece."

Song Yu: "..."

Lu Jiuwan was speechless, "Shovel out the things and pour them out."

Everyone thought the young lady was angry, so they shoveled out the things in the pot and cleaned up the pot.

The puppy turned into a quail.

More than thirty quails shrank their necks with guilt.

"Song Yu, get the basin."

Song Yu brought a wooden basin over.

Lu Jiuwan walked to the rice jar and looked around. He couldn't guess how much these kids ate, but one small shovel of rice per person was probably enough.

"Shovel ten times."

Song Yu finally understood that the young lady was going to teach them how to cook.

His heart suddenly brightened, and even his hands moved more lightly.

After shoveling ten shovels of rice, Song Yu silently waited for the next instruction.

"Take it and wash the rice, just twice."

Wash the rice?

Twice?

Everyone remembered it silently.

They just poured the rice directly into the pot.

Lu Jiuwan looked at the person in front of the stove, "What's your name?"

"Mo Chun." Mo Chun felt guilty for a moment, because he had made the fire too big.

"Okay, Mo Chun, move the fire in the stove over there over here."

"Yes."

She looked at Wei Qing again, "What's your name?"

"My name is Wei Qing." She was a little embarrassed. She was the one who took the lead in cooking, but it turned out like this.

"Well, Wei Qing, put half a pot of water in the pot, heat it up and add the rice."

"Yes."

Lu Jiuwan turned around. When she checked today, she left some dried meat, carrots, potatoes and dried vegetables outside.

"Isn't there meat here? Why don't you cook it?"

Song Yu didn't dare to answer, because the meat would be easily discovered if it moved.

Potatoes have a poor sense of presence and are not easy to be discovered.

"Don't you dare to eat?"

Looking at them all as if they had done something wrong, Lu Jiuwan guessed that they were worried about being scolded by him.

"I will teach you once today. Everyone can watch and learn by themselves. If you are hungry and want to have a snack in the future, you can eat whatever you want in the kitchen. Don't ask me."

As soon as she said this, the kitchen was bright.

Because their eyes would shine.

"What's your name?" Lu Jiuwan stared around and stared at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing was suddenly panicked, "Xia Qing."

"Xia Qing, cut these pieces of meat into thin slices."

Xia Qing received the order and happily took the meat.

It's great to have meat to eat.

Xia Qing put the meat on the chopping board.

Picked up the knife and cut it piece by piece.

Lu Jiuwan felt that the slices of meat were thinner than window paper.

"... Cut them thicker, like these five slices. Aren't you afraid that they will melt if they are so thin? Just tell me if you want some meat soup."

Xia Qing: "... OK."

She was worried that the young lady would feel sorry for them.

Looking at the slices of meat on the chopping board.

The younger ones could no longer hide their expressions.

Lu Jiuwan secretly looked around. The younger ones still had some baby fat on their faces.

Thinking of the baby with baby fat on his face who just looked at her with murderous eyes, she felt a little pain in her heart.

"Come here, line up."

She called them over.

Those who had nothing to do came over and lined up.

A group of people with messy hair and gloomy clothes.

Lu Jiuwan looked upset.

"You kids, go clean the tables and chairs, wipe them clean, put them in order, and then sit down and wait for dinner." She directed a dozen children, the youngest of whom was five or six years old.

She then said to the slightly older ones, who looked to be seven or eight years old, "You go clean up the warehouse, clean the kitchen and the floor of the warehouse, and then find the bowls and chopsticks, wash them and keep them ready for use."

The warehouse was in a mess, and the kitchen was also messed up by them.

In the end, there were only five or six children around ten years old left.

"You guys, go wash a basin of carrots, you and you, cut the carrots into slices, and stir-fry them with the meat later."

"You, go peel the potatoes, and you two cut the potato slices a little thinner than Xia Qing's, and then cut them into shreds."

This project is a bit huge, and it will probably take a long time to complete.

The key is that they have no experience.

A group of people were assigned tasks and worked hard.

Lu Jiuwan hung the lantern on the wall and stood in front of the stove. Song Yu had already washed the rice.

"Miss, you said to heat the water and put it in the pot, okay?"

Lu Jiuwan nodded.

"Miss, please sit down."

Turning around, a little kid behind him brought a chair bigger than himself over.

Looking up, he looked at her sincerely.

Lu Jiuwan reached out to take it and pinched her little face, which was chubby.

"Thank you."

The little girl looked at the lady in a daze after hearing the thank you.

"What's your name?"

"Yingdie."

Lu Jiuwan put the chair next to the stove, sat down, and asked her, "How long have you been here?"

Yingdie looked at the lady with her big eyes, "The teacher said it's been half a year, and it's time to learn how to kill. So it's half a year."

"How old are you?"

Chapter 104 "Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Ying Die: "I don't know."

"Where is your home?"

"I don't know."

"Do you remember your family?"

"I remember, my mother loves to cry, always pinches and slaps me, and my father gets annoyed when he sees me."

Lu Jiuwan: ...

Forget it.

He touched her face, "Go, sit down obediently."

"Yes."

Ying Die ran back and sat at the long table with a group of children of the same age, looking at this side obediently and quietly.

A dozen pairs of eyes, big and quiet.

These children have not experienced killing, but six months of training have made them frightened and alert.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Lu Jiuwan retracted his gaze and looked.

Next to the stove, they have already started cutting potatoes and carrots.

The more Lu Jiuwan watched, the more her eyebrows furrowed.

"You can kill people, but not potatoes and carrots?"

"I'll do it, watch."

So.

Next to the stove, several people surrounded Lu Jiuwan, watching her skillfully slice and shred.

Next to them, two children followed her example and started to cut.

Clumsy, slow.

After cutting a few, they began to become more proficient.

Lu Jiuwan glanced at the pot, his hands were still stirring, "Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"Song Yu, stir the rice with a spatula, don't let it stick to the pot."

Song Yu hurriedly took the spatula and stirred it. The rice in the pot had swelled, the water had turned a little white, and a faint fragrance came out.

After Lu Jiuwan cut a small bowl of potato shreds, several people took turns to learn it.

It's okay to be slow, as long as you can do it.

Give them the seat and continue to sit back.

Look at the pot and wait until it's almost done.

"Song Yu, take a look. When the rice grains are fully swollen, you can serve the rice soup."

Song Yu served the rice soup, a large bowl full of it. The faint rice fragrance made people want to drink a few sips.

"You can drink the rice soup later, don't pour it out. Mo Chun, after the rice soup is served, you can turn off the big firewood and leave a small fire."

Mo Chun hurriedly moved, "Oh."

Finally, the vegetables were cut.

A large bowl of shredded potatoes, a small bowl of carrot slices, and half a bowl of meat.

Two dishes are enough.

Lu Jiuwan was too lazy to bother.

"Mo Chun, light the fire in the other stove."

"Wei Qing, you cook."

Mo Chun skillfully lit the fire.

Wei Qing looked at the lady worriedly.

She was afraid that if she messed up, she would have nothing to eat tonight.

Lu Jiuwan received her concerns, "Put oil in the pot when the oil is hot, put the vegetables in, stir-fry the vegetables, stir-fry for a few times, add salt and chili peppers, what's there to not know? Fry boldly."

"Forget it, I'll fry one, you watch me, learn well, if you can't learn it, I'll starve you to death."

Lu Jiuwan rolled up his sleeves and put on the hat on his cloak.

Get to work.

Song Yu:?

Didn't the lady say that she was his senior sister?

How come she can do these things?

The teacher doesn't teach this.

The pig fat was white, and a few spoonfuls of it were scooped into the pot and slowly melted.

Put the meat in, and the sizzling sound filled the kitchen.

The child sitting at the long table half stood up, leaned on the table, stuck his butt out, stretched his head and looked over here, his eyes shining.

A circle of people surrounded the lady, blocking them seriously.

But this did not stop them from sticking their butts out to smell the smell.

The meat was stir-fried in the pot until it was half burnt, and the strong meat aroma made them salivate.

Take it out and stir-fry carrot slices with the oil in the pot.

Fry the carrot slices until they wilt, then pour the meat back.

Add salt, pepper, chili powder...

Stir-fry a few times at will, and serve it out.

A large bowl of carrot fried meat is ready.

Lu Jiuwan waved his hand, "Wei Qing, stir-fry the shredded potatoes. No need to wash the pot, just add oil."

Stand far away.

Raised his hand and sniffed his sleeves, tsk~

This smell of oil smoke, I have to take a shower when I go back later.

During the process of the lady cooking, Wei Qing was very nervous. There was no time gap between study and examination.

"Add oil."

"Yes, and then wait for the oil to smoke a little before adding the vegetables."

"..."

Beside Wei Qing, there were a lot of people chattering and giving orders.

Wei Qing's head was full of confusion.

She needed to be quiet when she was taking the exam!

Song Yu: "Shut up!"

Quiet.

Wei Qing relied on her memory to add oil, shredded potatoes, stir-fry, and add salt...

"Miss, how much salt do you want to add?"

Lu Jiuwan: "Pinch it yourself."

Wei Qing: Pinch?

The others were talking again.

"Miss, you can make the decision yourself. Put less. If it's not enough, you can add more."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Just put it in. If it's too salty, you can add water."

"Shut up."

Finally, Wei Qing still tried to add some, stir-fried it for a few times, picked up some with chopsticks, and put it to the mouth of the person who talked the most.

"Take it."

Wen Liu, who talked the most, pursed his lips and shrank back.

Song Yu glanced at him calmly, "I'll try."

Wei Qing lived up to everyone's expectations and finally cooked a pot of shredded potatoes that looked good.

Lu Jiuwan came over to check, it was good, at least not mushy.

He knocked on the pot and shouted, "Everyone go wash your hands and come to line up for rice."

The kitchen was suddenly noisy, as if they were rushing to get together.

Song Yu and others served the dishes on the table, and then began to serve rice to the little radishes.

He served the first bowl and handed it to the young lady.

"Young lady, this is yours."

Lu Jiuwan was not hungry originally.

He was infected by these children.

"Give it to them first."

After washing their hands, a group of children lined up in a crowded queue.

After getting the food, they sat down at the table.

But no one dared to move.

They just stared at the food and sniffed.

Finally, Song Yu served the young lady the food before serving himself.

More than 30 people sat down in a crowded place, barely enough.

"Move another table in tomorrow."

Song Yu nodded.

Lu Jiuwan sat in the middle, leaving a wide space for her, with two plates of food in front of her.

She didn't move, and the others didn't move either.

"Eat, wash your own bowls and chopsticks after eating, then go to bed."

Got her order.

A group of children who had been hungry for a day were busy reaching for their chopsticks.

It was like they were fighting for a seat.

They ate without making a sound, and the bowls and chopsticks collided with each other.

Then...

"Huff, huff..."

"Smack, smack..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Lu Jiuwan: "...When you eat, close your mouth and chew. Chew slowly and eat slowly. No one will compete with you."

A group of children looked around.

So many people, everyone is competing with me.

...

The next morning.

When Lu Jiuwan woke up, the sky was blue and the sun was shining.

Open the window.

The beautiful natural scenery appeared in front of her.

She was in a good mood.

After washing and changing clothes.

When she came out, she saw Song Yu directing everyone to wash clothes by the stream.

He found new clothes, which should be the daily training clothes prepared for them by the previous people.

They changed clothes and washed their old clothes.

These clothes are so ugly.

I saw their hair tied up with cotton cloth. The older children looked okay, but the younger ones were messy.

I walked down the stairs and stood not far away, "Song Yu."

The group looked up, "Good morning, Miss."

Song Yu: "Miss, your clothes..."

"No, I'll wash them myself first, and wait for Li Xuan to come and wash them. These little kids can't be washed clean, so you can help them after you finish washing. Come here, I have something to say."

Song Yu ran up to listen.

"Go and pick up the two people who were with me before, I don't want to leave."

It's too tiring to ride in a carriage, and I'm afraid of getting upset on the stomach if I ride a horse.

Song Yu nodded, "Yes, Miss, we found a lot of silver in the house last night, it should be from the previous people."

"Don't give it to me, you keep it, and bring something to them when you come back, especially the girls... Forget it, you take Wei Qing with you and let her buy it."

Wei Qing heard it, and there was joy in her eyes.

She has been here for six or seven years and has never gone out.

Everyone heard it, and there was envy in their eyes.

Lu Jiuwan: "Don't worry, a few people go out at a time, and it will be your turn."

Everyone's eyes were full of expectations.

Chapter 105 Lu Jiuwan, when will you come back?

Lu Jiuwan touched her belly from time to time and watched them wash clothes clumsily.

Then she followed them to the kitchen and supervised them cooking.

In a blink of an eye, her eyes fell on the child who was sitting obediently.

She turned her finger.

"Yingdie, come here."

Yingdie ran over in a hurry, "Miss."

Lu Jiuwan pointed in front of herself and squatted down.

Yingdie squatted in front of her without any doubt.

They stared at each other, "Turn around."

Yingdie squatted and turned around.

Lu Jiuwan took out a wooden comb from her sleeve.

"I'll comb your hair."

Those boring things stored in the space finally came in handy now.

She couldn't comb her own hair.

I don't know how to do the complicated hairstyles of ancient times.

But I can still handle children.

It's a good time to practice.

If I have a daughter in the future, I won't have any trouble dealing with her.

Ying Die bit her lip, tears welled up, and she nodded vigorously.

Lu Jiuwan didn't notice.

Untie her messy hair and comb it.

Part her hair in the middle and divide it into four parts. Comb the top into two bows and tie them up with a hairband.

Braid the bottom into two small braids.

Simple, quick, clean and neat.

"Okay, stand up, let me see."

Ying Die quickly wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand and turned around.

Seeing that she was crying, Lu Jiuwan's smug expression froze slightly.

"Why are you crying?"

Ying Die couldn't hold it back, she cried loudly, covering her chest, "I don't know, I'm heartbroken."

Lu Jiuwan pulled her face with disdain and stroked her chest, "Don't be sad, go wash your face."

Ying Die cried, "Four."

"Next one, one after another."

The little girl ran over expectantly.

"What's your name?"

"Shuya."

"Shuya? Which tree, which bud?"

"Shu of the big tree, bud of the bud."

"Who named you?"

"My name is Shuya, not anyone else."

Lu Jiuwan: "..."

Shuya, or Shuya?

Shuya?

Whatever she wants.

Don't cry when you grow up.

Seeing that her hair was long, Lu Jiuwan parted her hair in the middle, made two braids, and then put it on top of her head with all the hair at the back, tied it with a hair band, and tied it with a headband.

"Okay, stand up and let me see."

Shuya stood up shyly and faced her.

"Turn around."

Shuya turned around.

"Looks good, next one."

Next one, come over.

The older children who had prepared the dishes and had nothing to do crowded over to watch.

Song Yu and several older children were cooking over there, while Lu Jiuwan was deftly combing the children's hair, taking an average of three minutes for each one.

After the girl finished combing her hair.

She began to wave to the boys.

The boys looked at each other.

"Come here, don't let me yell at you." Lu Jiuwan doesn't like being shy.

Someone rushed over immediately.

Lu Jiuwan was showing two braids and a high ponytail.

The same style as Dijiang.

It's just missing a hair crown.

You guys are amazing.

"Xia Qing, come here."

Xia Qing didn't expect that she was already twelve years old and still needed a young lady to comb her hair, and her face turned red.

But she didn't dare to be long-winded, and hurried over to squat.

For older children, Lu Jiuwan was more patient, and the hair was more complicated.

When Xia Qing finished combing, the food was ready and placed on the table.

But everyone was still gathered here.

After Xia Qing finished combing, it was Wei Qing's turn.

Song Yu and Mo Chun were not left behind.

After cleaning up, everyone in the room looked much more refined.

But their clothes were a bit ugly.

After breakfast, Song Yu and Wei Qing set out.

A group of people looked at them with envy.

Lu Jiuwan looked at the list Song Yu handed to her.

Thirty-four people.

Four people aged 11 or 12, Song Yu, Wei Qing, Mo Chun, Xia Qing.

Six people aged 9 and 10...

Ten people aged 7 and 8...

Fourteen people aged 5 and 6...

"Stop looking, come here, I'll measure you."

Create a growth file for them.

First record their name, age, and height.

Later, when she thinks of a disciplinary plan, she will also add things like hobbies and talents.

...

Zongrenfu.

Eunuch Ming is now a popular figure in the imperial court.

The sensible guard came over to greet him.

"Eunuch Ming, why are you here?"

Eunuch Ming's face was indifferent, with a bit of arrogance.

"Has the prison not received food this morning?"

"Not yet, it will be soon. Do you have any instructions?"

Eunuch Ming: "I am here to do things under the order of the emperor. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

"Yes, yes, yes." He hurriedly moved a chair over for him to sit down.

Eunuch Ming waited for the food to come over, and held out his hand to stop it.

"Which one is the former empress dowager?"

Someone stepped forward.

Eunuch Ming waved his hand, "Come here."

The man came over respectfully.

Eunuch Ming took him to a hidden place beside.

He took out a bottle from his pocket and sprinkled the contents on the rice and dishes.

The powder was stained with the food and immediately disappeared.

The person who delivered the food suddenly changed his face, "What, what does the eunuch mean?"

"Don't try to figure out the emperor's will. If it doesn't work, you can eat the food."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

He adjusted his facial expression.

He brought the food to Wen Miao.

He left as usual after delivering the food.

Wen Miao sat in the corner in silence and took a look at the food.

She had no desire to eat at all.

After a long while.

She finally moved.

She had spent all her efforts and finally sent out the people to kill Lu Jiuwan, but there was still no good news.

She had not yet avenged Yi'er.

Even though she was in prison, she still ate slowly.

After half a bowl of rice, she suddenly widened her eyes and dropped the bowl in her hand.

She covered her stomach.

A strong cramping pain came.

Blood slowly seeped from the corners of her mouth.

She reached out to wipe it and saw the bright red blood on her hand.

She was not panicked, as if she was not surprised that this day would come.

But there was also resentment in her eyes.

After a while, she pulled the corner of her mouth sarcastically and fell down slowly.

Eunuch Ming brought people to the front of the cell.

He signaled the coroner beside him to come forward to verify.

After verifying, the coroner nodded, "Dead."

...

Inside the palace.

Dijiang had just finished reading the secret letter and map sent from the border, as well as detailed combat information.

Winter is coming, and it has already snowed there.

Heavy snow blocked the mountains and ice covered thousands of miles.

There should be no fighting in the short term.

Before this, the enemy launched several wars, but they were all forced back by Mu Bai and Yuan Cang.

Dijiang looked at the detailed map, the attack direction of the enemy army, and the combat decision.

He wrote a detailed reply, writing his own views and subsequent combat suggestions.

Then he saw that Eunuch Ming had come in and stood by silently for a long time.

"What's the matter."

"Your Majesty, the person is gone."

"Well, bury him casually." Being able to die so easily was the greatest dignity he gave her.

"Yes."

"Go down."

Eunuch Ming went down and closed the door.

Di Jiang leaned back on his chair with his head raised.

During this time, he dealt with political affairs that had been accumulated for a long time, and also found many problems, which he still needed to solve one by one.

In fact, he didn't care about the throne.

Sitting on this dragon chair, there are too many things to bear.

The stability of the country, the happiness of the people...

However, because of this dragon chair, he lost his most important relatives.

He must take it back.

But he thought again at this moment.

It was because of this chair that he lost the most important... wife.

His eyes fell on the pen holder, and an orchid hairpin stood quietly inside.

Lu Jiuwan, when will you come back?

Chapter 106 "When the queen's people left, they bought a lot of things in the city."

When Song Yu brought Wei Qing to find Li Xuan'er and Huai Rong.

The two were taking a bite of steamed bread and sighing.

Two figures appeared in front of them.

The two recognized Song Yu at once.

Li Xuan'er threw the steamed bread on the table, ran up to him and asked, "It's you, where is our young lady?"

Huai Rong: "What did you do to our young lady?"

Song Yu was caught by the two...

"The young lady destroyed the assassin camp and occupied the mountain manor, so I came to pick you up."

The two looked unbelieving.

How could the young lady...

Slowly.

The two began to believe it a little.

After all, the young lady destroyed the mountain bandit's nest in a few clicks.

"You didn't lie to us?"

Wei Qing: "Really, we are now under the care of the young lady."

Yes, yes, yes!

That's what the young lady does.

Kill those you don't like first, then accept those who are pitiful.

Li Xuan'er believed it.

Huai Rong also believed it.

The two took their few luggage and followed Song Yu and Wei Qing on the road.

Found that the two had bought a lot of things.

"Why did you buy so many things?"

Wei Qing: "The young lady asked me to do it. It's not convenient in the mountains, so I bought more?"

Li Xuan'er: "In the mountains? The young lady lives in the mountains now?"

"Yes."

"That won't work. I have to buy some things too. Huai Rong, you go too."

Winter is coming soon, and the young lady is pregnant. Many things need to be prepared. When it snows heavily, we can't go out of the mountains and buy things.

Huai Rong also needs to prepare some medicine for pregnancy prevention.

After the two of them finished buying things, several hours passed and the sun was about to set.

The four of them drove the carriage out of the city.

On the way.

Wei Qing and Song Yu noticed that someone was following them.

They looked at each other.

Wei Qing: "What should we do?"

Song Yu: "You take them and take the things away first, I will drive the carriage to confuse their attention and lead them away."

Wei Qing nodded.

...

After two days of running around, Li Xuan and Huai Rong finally arrived at Wuying Gate.

After entering the mountain, the two of them wondered if they were deceived by these two kids.

How can it be so secretive!

When they finally passed through the last door, their eyes lit up.

The palace built on the mountain appeared in front of them.

Li Xuan: ... So luxurious!

Huai Rong: ... So spectacular!

On the top of the mountain, Lu Jiuwan saw a few people.

"Hui~" whistled.

Li Xuan raised her head sharply, "Miss!"

Huai Rong also shouted excitedly.

The four of them walked up together.

All the people who were originally asked by Lu Jiuwan to go to the mountain to collect firewood have returned.

The mountain was quiet, and whistles could be heard from afar.

"They are back!"

"Hurry up."

Each of them carried a small bundle of firewood and ran home.

Li Xuan'er and the others were very excited when they saw Lu Jiuwan, and they showed off what they bought.

"Miss, we bought a lot of things, including a lot of cotton for you to make a cotton shirt. And from now on, we have to prepare things for the young master or young lady."

"Miss, I bought medicine and supplements for pregnancy."

Song Yu:?

Wei Qing:?

The two of them understood half of what they heard.

Song Yu asked uncertainly: "Miss, do you have a child?"

Lu Jiuwan looked down at her belly and smiled faintly, "Yeah."

Wei Qing:!

Aren't pregnant women very fragile?

Why can the young lady be so tough...

Song Yu: "I will tell them not to bump into you."

Huai Rong: "Miss, they said you took them in, the killer?"

Lu Jiuwan leaned on the railing and raised her chin downwards, "More than two, huh."

"More?" Did the young lady take in a few more...

The two looked at it casually, their mouths slowly opened wide... stunned.

The long line of... little babies.

Little babies getting smaller and smaller.

They rushed here.

Standing in the yard, such a large group, the killer?

Li Xuan: ...Miss, did you poke the orphanage?

The killer?

The killer of Da Mifan?

From this day on.

Lu Jiuwan no longer had anything to worry about.

She went to bed early and woke up late.

With two adults, Li Xuan and Huairong, she didn't have to worry about a bunch of children.

She took some solar street lights from the space.

She directed Huairong and Song Yu to install them.

She also installed solar garden lights on the corridor of her palace.

She didn't have to go anywhere in the dark at night.

They were very curious about this thing, especially that it could light up at night, like a small sun.

It was simply amazing!

They walked around.

At night, they squatted under the street lights, chattering for a long time, and walked back and forth between the planks.

They were curious about where this thing came from.

Lu Jiuwan said that it was found in the secret room.

When he was free, Lu Jiuwan learned some knowledge about raising a baby.

He also took out the rules for primary and secondary school students in the space.

He copied most of the content and handed it to Song Yu.

"Take it and stick it on, ask them to memorize it, I want to check it."

Song Yu pursed her lips: "...Miss, most of them don't even know the characters."

The killer must learn to read, but he will only be taught after passing the first few rounds of competition.

He has only been learning for half a year.

Lu Jiuwan:...

I was careless.

Not even knowing the characters, Lu Jiuwan began to think deeply.

Perhaps, she could start drafting a teaching plan.

Raising a group of people who don't even know the characters.

How embarrassing.

In order not to lose face.

While strolling in the villa, she thought about what classes to teach them?

How to arrange the educational content and who will come to teach?

In the evening, Lu Jiuwan began to bury her head in her desk.

She didn't know much about the ancient education system.

She didn't know how they taught and what they taught.

But she was a modern person, and she should understand modern education.

She chose to do what she was good at.

So, her study was filled with modern textbooks and education books.

...

Yu's study room.

The visitor was trembling with fear and sweating.

"I deserve to die..."

When Dijiang heard the word "deserve to die", his eyes changed.

"Speak!"

He knelt down immediately, "I lost the queen."

As soon as he said this.

Dijiang felt his heart sink, sinking to the bottom.

He slowly clenched his hands hanging on the table.

He took a deep breath.

He stood up.

The person kneeling on the ground already felt that his breathing was obviously not smooth.

His hands and feet began to get cold uncontrollably.

Dijiang walked in front of him and looked down at him.

"You have lost your people, and you still dare to appear in front of me." His voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty and oppression.

The people kneeling on the ground trembled a few times.

"This subordinate deserves death."

After waiting for a long while, he heard the voice above his head.

"If something happens to the queen, you all deserve death. Where did you lose her?"

"Meicheng."

"How did you lose her?"

"We didn't notice it for a moment, and the queen disappeared. But her maids and servants were still in Meicheng. We waited for her to come back, but two half-grown children took them away."

"We followed them to find the queen, but they seemed to have noticed something and deliberately misled us, so we lost her again."

Di Jiang frowned and thought.

How did she know everyone outside?

"Which direction did they go?"

"They went north out of the city, but soon lost track of them. I have asked the rest of the people to search for traces everywhere."

Feeling that the emperor was about to get angry again, he quickly continued, "When the queen's people left, they also bought a lot of things in the city."

"What did they buy?"

He actually wanted to know everything they bought, so that he could peek in and find out some traces of her life to comfort his loneliness.

He must have gone crazy.

Chapter 107 My good Lan'er

"That maid bought cotton, cloth, needles and thread, some food and a... rattle."

Rattler?

Dijiang's heart was shaken.

"What else?" His voice was very soft, very soft.

"That servant was originally a doctor, and bought a lot of medicine. I later inquired about it, and they were all medicines for stabilizing pregnancy and replenishing the body."

Rattler, medicine for stabilizing pregnancy.

Dijiang's mind gradually lost balance, as if it was suddenly wrapped in a piece of white cloth, and it was blank.

All the anger disappeared silently, and a helpless joy rushed into the brain.

The whole body seemed to be frozen.

A smile came out from the bottom of his heart.

This strange, yet strong and comfortable feeling of joy made Dijiang feel refreshed.

"Go down, hurry up and continue to look for her, and do your best to find her. After you find her, don't disturb her. If the queen's health is in trouble because of you, you will be beheaded."

"Yes."

The people on the ground escaped and hurriedly got up and went out.

The clothes under their skin were all damp and cold.

Fortunately, the queen blessed me.

No.

The prince blessed me.

"Eunuch Ming."

Eunuch Ming heard the emperor's voice outside the door and hurried in.

"Your Majesty."

Why didn't the emperor say a word or smile?

But he could feel that the emperor was in a very good mood?

Could it be that there was news about the queen?

"Tell the Garment Bureau to quickly tailor a batch of maternity clothes and baby clothes. Then ask each supervisory bureau to make some small toys that children like, such as rattles, wooden horses, rocking cots, etc."

Eunuch Ming was confused, then his eyes lit up and he laughed.

"Yes, I will definitely keep an eye on them myself."

Dijiang waved his hand happily, "Go and arrange it."

"Yes, I will go now." Eunuch Ming left happily.

Only Dijiang was left in the room.

The ecstatic smile on his face, the majestic and domineering look was swept away, like a cheerful boy.

Good Lan'er.

My good queen.

Sure enough, those medicines were not forced to be taken in vain.

But, she was pregnant, but she was still hanging out outside.

He wanted to see her urgently.

He wanted her to be by his side, so that he could see her at any time.

Turning his head and seeing the various documents on the long desk, he turned his eyes away irritably.

As the year was coming to an end, problems continued to arise in various places.

The border was still fighting against the enemy.

He could not leave.

Give them a little more time, if they could not find her again.

He would go in person.

That day.

Xie Mingke suddenly received a reward.

Inexplicably.

...

Outside the window, red maple leaves were falling, like blood-colored butterflies fluttering.

Inside the window, Lu Jiuwan was reading books on education.

He also knew the general content of ancient teaching, which was mainly the six arts of etiquette, music, archery, defense, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Etiquette, etiquette, is moral education.

This Lu Jiuwan has her own ideas, and the etiquette mentioned by the ancients does not completely conform to her aesthetics.

Regarding moral education, she wants to combine the ancient and modern, re-integrate, and create a brand new educational content.

Music is music. According to modern standards, except for students who study music, almost no one from elementary school to high school has ever taken a music class properly, and they can only hum a few pop songs.

Shooting, archery, is a bit like modern physical education classes.

禦, driving a horse-drawn carriage, taking a driver's license test.

Books, writing and recognizing characters, are Chinese classes.

Numbers, arithmetic, are mathematics classes.

On the surface, these seem much simpler than modern Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages, physics, chemistry, biology, politics, history, geography, music, art, physical education, and the various majors after college.

But Lu Jiuwan knew that it was not easy.

Education is never an easy thing.

Looking at these subjects alone, Lu Jiuwan felt that she could handle it by herself.

But sometimes she was too ambitious and boastful.

Professional matters should be left to professionals, and she played a role in promoting and supervising.

However, the subjects of study should be grasped well.

Forget about driving a carriage and archery, why are these children worried about these?

...

A bustling market.

There was a group of people who were particularly eye-catching.

They were setting up an empty stall with a long banner above it.

On it were written the four characters "招賢納土".

Approaching, I saw a wooden board on the stall, on which was a detailed recruitment letter, which stated the specific content and requirements of the recruitment, as well as the high salary and additional benefits.

One literary teacher, one mathematics teacher, one zither player and painter, one craftsman, two cooks, and one senior cook.

Work three days a week and rest one day. If necessary, you can bring up to two family members with you.

Female teachers will be given priority.

Those with special talents can recommend themselves.

It was specially stated that if someone could introduce a suitable person for an interview, the successful person would receive a generous reward.

Once this was displayed, passers-by kept watching and talking about it.

"Such a high salary, one year is equivalent to other people's three to five years, I'm afraid it's not a simple job, are you deceiving everyone?"

"Who doesn't know which wealthy families there are here? It doesn't say which family it is. Whose family is it?"

"Don't be a wealthy family. A wealthy family doesn't have such a high salary. This must be a new noble who just settled in our Liangfeng City."

"Female gentleman? This is the first time I heard the word female gentleman. Can a woman be a gentleman?" Everyone's heart was hit, as if they were hit by something.

"How can a female teacher be a good thing? How can a woman show her face in public?"

"This is not proper. Who is so unrefined?"

"Why can't a woman be a teacher? Some men are not as good as women. Take that lady Li for example. She is well-read in poetry and is well-versed in ancient and modern times. I think her man who left and never came back is not as good as her."

"That's right. You look down on women. I think this family is a very reasonable family. Female teachers are given priority. Working in this family may be much smoother than working in other places!"

"Didn't you see the requirements they put forward? You must have teacher ethics and a solid foundation."

Most people shook their heads in frustration and had no hope.

But some people's eyes lit up when they saw the last one and ran away quickly.

The high salary made many people eager to make a living, and people came to inquire endlessly.

"May I ask if this is a private school teacher who comes to your house?"

Huairong: "Yes, once you pass the test and are selected, you can live in the host's house to teach, enjoy a high salary and super long annual leave, and there are many benefits waiting for you."

My heart is moved, crazy.

Such a good livelihood, where else in the world can you find it!

The stalls are almost crowded.

Huairong, Song Yu, Mo Chun and others are busy holding the table.

Lu Jiuwan brought five or six children out this time.

She pulled the chair, moved back, and continued to eat the sauce-flavored meat cake in her hand.

It's really delicious.

In the mountains, you can't eat freshly cooked food except for the food in the space.

So this time she hired three chefs.

Two are responsible for everyone's three meals a day, and one is responsible for her nutritious meals.

"Li Xuan, write down the list of people who have registered first. There are too many people. Let's make an appointment to take the test at Yufeng Building at twilight time tomorrow night."

Chapter 108 Painter +1

Leave more time for promotion. Many capable people can't just wander around the streets at any time.

"Oh, okay." Li Xuan'er was a little flustered.

There were too many people, all crowded in front of her.

Everyone seemed to be saying, choose me, choose me!

The last time the street was so lively was when the decree of the new emperor's accession to the throne was issued.

Lu Jiuwan finished eating and clapped her hands.

She walked to the stall and found a root to knock on.

The scene became a little quieter.

"Queue up. Those without moral standards will not be admitted. You can go home."

When everyone looked, it turned out to be the stunning woman sitting in the back.

I thought she was a quiet person, but she turned out to be a tough one.

Some people blushed and lined up obediently.

Seeing the pressure on the scene, Lu Jiuwan patted Li Xuaner on the shoulder.

"You and Huairong will be responsible for registration, and then tell them the time and place of the test. I'm going to buy something."

Li Xuan nodded, "Song Yu, you and Mo Chun, Xia Qing, you should follow the young lady quickly. There are so many people, don't let people bump into you."

She and Huairong were useless, but Song Yu and Xia Qing were useful. Although they were young, they knew martial arts, and she felt relieved to have them follow the young lady.

Song Yu hurriedly followed.

Lu Jiuwan was shopping calmly, with five or six children following her, Song Yu, Mo Chun, Xia Qing, Ying Die, and a slightly older Ming Xu.

She wanted to buy a lot of things.

I took a few people with me to buy pens, ink, paper, inkstones, drawing paper, paints, various pens, and books. The quantity was large, so I had someone deliver them directly to Yufeng Building.

Arrived at the ready-made clothing store.

Lu Jiuwan looked at the workmanship and fabrics of the clothes, which were pretty good, and the winter clothes were thick.

She picked three sets of men's clothes.

She told the shopkeeper about her own modification requirements, left the size and quantity documents, paid a deposit and left.

Similarly, I found two more stores.

I ordered three sets of women's clothes and two thick cloaks.

I went to several shoe shops to customize shoes.

Mainly to shorten the time and get the things earlier.

Came out of the shoe shop and continued to walk along the main street.

Arrived at the exclusive area for calligraphy and painting.

Lu Jiuwan had learned to paint before, so he would naturally take a second look.

When he caught a glimpse of an orchid painting, he was slightly shocked and walked over unconsciously.

Behind the painting stall, a man was lazily lying on a chair reading a book. When he saw someone coming to the stall, he subconsciously glanced at him.

But when he saw the other person's face clearly, he held his breath and slowly sat up.

Suddenly, countless inspirations flashed in his mind, and his mind was instantly clear.

He stared at the young lady, which made Song Yu very dissatisfied.

Song Yu: "If you look at it again, I will dig out your eyes."

Xia Qing: "Madman, you are looking for death."

Ying Die was short and could not see clearly, but she knew that the young lady must have been wronged.

She was small, so she slipped under the stall.

She stretched her legs and kicked the man's leg with all her strength.

The inspiration in the man's mind was shattered by this kick before it was fully formed.

"Ah!" He was shocked and frightened, jumping up and down.

A dog bit him!

The pain made him unable to tell what hurt him for a moment. It looked like a dog, only a dog would appear under the table.

He looked down and saw that it was a little girl.

He covered his leg with a nameless anger, "You little girl, how could you kick someone randomly, so uneducated!"

Lu Jiuwan: ...When did you go there?

"Yingdie, come back."

Yingdie cursed at him, "You lunatic, you're looking for death. If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyes."

Lu Jiuwan: ...

The little kid is quite arrogant.

She didn't realize that the man looked at her with an obscene look.

The painter also understood.

He covered his legs and pinched his face to apologize, "I'm sorry. The lady's appearance is elegant and refined, and it made me think of a painting for a moment."

Lu Jiuwan: "What painting?"

The man was no longer in pain and pointed at the painting she had just seen and said enthusiastically.

"It's the one you just saw. A lonely orchid in the wild, elegant and proud, still full of life in a bad situation."

Mo Chun leaned close to Xia Qing's ear, "How shameless, is this praising the young lady or his painting?"

Xia Qing nodded, "But what he said makes sense."

"Do you understand?"

"I don't understand, I said he made some sense in praising the young lady."

Lu Jiuwan's eyes fell on his painting again and stared at it for a while.

Song Yu blinked. How can the uneven lines look full of vitality?

What is the young lady trying hard for?

No need to force yourself.

I really can't tell.

"Miss, he is fooling you, let's go."

The painter was unhappy, "How can this be fooling people? If you don't understand, do you miss understand it?"

Song Yu: How can our miss understand it?

Lu Jiuwan: "I want your painting."

Song Yu: ...

Miss, you are really exaggerating.

The painter smiled lightly, "This painting is not for sale, but today this painting is destined to be with you, so I will give it to you."

In fact, he always felt that this painting was his creative bottleneck. Its existence represented both glory and restricted his progress.

After it, he never created a more satisfactory work.

He was reluctant to sell it, and he couldn't find a destined person to give it to.

Today he finally found one.

He was happy to give it away.

"So many people have asked for his painting, and so many people have offered high prices to buy it, but he never sold it. This time he is willing to give it away."

"Tsk, Master Zhao, you are really willing to give it away? I asked you to give it to me, but you didn't."

"What's the point of giving it to you? I want to give it to a pretty girl."

Several people selling calligraphy and paintings nearby teased him.

Lu Jiuwan continued to appreciate his other paintings, which were all interesting, showing that his painting skills were really good.

"Do you make a living by selling paintings?"

People around him muttered, "Master Zhao, Zhao Wencheng, who knew that he would go against his parents' wishes and fail in literature. He has no hope of passing the imperial examination, but his paintings are amazing."

The painter was embarrassed, "I'm ashamed."

"Wencheng, Wencheng, stop selling paintings, I have good news for you!" A middle-aged woman ran over in a hurry.

Everyone pricked up their ears, and before Zhao Wencheng had time to ask her, they heard her anxiously say.

"It's so busy over there on the street. Someone is recruiting painters. The salary for half a year is equivalent to the income from selling paintings for several years. Go and have a look. Oh, I'm so anxious."

"Ah? Is it true?" Zhao Wencheng didn't respond yet, and the others around him disappeared.

"Hurry up, what are you still standing there for? They've all gone, if you don't go someone will snatch it away, who can compare to you! Hurry up!"

Song Yu protected the young lady and moved aside. The man looked very anxious, waving his hands and feet, and was afraid that he would overturn the stall.

Zhao Wencheng took the painting down slowly and rolled it up.

"Hurry up, why are you still dawdling?"

"Sister-in-law, I will pay the money this month."

Chapter 109 My husband is blind

The woman was stunned, "Oh, who told you this? Besides, you have no money, what can you give?"

"You are old, you have no family and no proper career, and you don't cherish this good opportunity. How long do you plan to live like this? I don't know what you are stubborn about?"

"Before, I asked you to teach Niu'er, and you taught such a stupid boy well. What's so difficult about teaching others? Go and try." Niu'er is her son, but she is afraid that Niu'er will follow the old path of his uncle, so she stopped him from teaching.

Zhao Wencheng has been rolling up the painting.

Lu Jiuwan stepped forward and took the painting from his hand, "Thank you."

Roll it up again.

Zhao Wencheng: ...

The woman was also stunned for a moment, and then continued to advise, "Wencheng, don't think that your sister-in-law despises you for not having achieved anything at such an old age. I hope you can do something serious and be more energetic."

Lu Jiuwan looked at the painting in his hand with satisfaction, and said something to him before turning around.

"You have the courage to stick to such a boring life, what are you afraid of? From here to there, you can run without taking a breath."

This person can be a backup.

It's a thank-you gift.

As long as he can come to participate, I will give it special consideration.

Zhao Wencheng watched Lu Jiuwan's back slowly walk away, and this sentence turned in his mind.

Lu Jiuwan was originally going to find a piano store.

But the street became more and more deserted, with fewer and fewer people on the street.

I thought the piano sellers should be in remote and quiet places so that they can test the sound.

Turning the corner, I saw that the front was busy again.

As Lu Jiuwan got closer, he saw many people tied up like animals with their hands and feet tied to iron pillars.

People on the street walked around, looking at these people casually, with a look of selection.

Some even touched here, pinched there, and patted their bodies.

"Why are there fewer and fewer goods now, and they are not good goods."

As they picked and chose, they complained unsatisfactorily.

The tied people all hung their heads, without any dignity.

Lu Jiuwan looked around and felt a little depressed.

After adjusting her mood, her face was expressionless.

She had seen too many scenes that were more cruel and inhumane than this one, but she had never gotten used to it.

"Little bastard, the madam finally couldn't bear it anymore and finally agreed to sell you off, asking you to seduce the young master!"

"You were born with a coquettish look, and you only know how to seduce people. The madam was so good to you, and she was your good sister. She saw that you were pitiful and bought you as a maid, but you wanted to seduce the young master without knowing what was good for you!"

"You damn low bastard, bitch!"

"Don't you like to seduce men? You have plenty of opportunities now. There are plenty of men in this pawnbroker shop."

It seemed that she spoke loudly on purpose to attract attention.

It attracted everyone in the pawnbroker shop to look in that direction.

I saw a burly maid and two servants pushing a woman towards me.

The woman's hands were tied to her body, and the extended rope was pulled from time to time in the hands of the burly maid.

From a distance, the woman's figure was slender, delicate and beautiful. Even before I saw her face, I felt that she was a beauty.

The men around Lu Jiuwan's eyes lit up and they walked over with great interest.

He wanted to leave, but heard the two people around him talking.

Lu Jiuwan pricked up his ears.

"That's not..."

"Who is she? Do you know her? She's a slutty girl sold by the master, who is said to seduce the master."

"It's the Yi family. Remember, they ransacked their house two years ago. The men were exiled and the women were sold. The eldest daughter of the Yi family was bought back by her good friend. She's lucky. Otherwise, she would have been sold to Yingchun Tower to perform arts. When she was a young lady, she was good at everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Proficient, especially in piano skills, that is the result of Yan Guan Liang Feng. "

"Bah, people have done her a favor, but she seduced other men, so shameless! What kind of lady, she can't even be a human being when she is down and out."

"I don't think so. The eldest daughter of the Yi family is a famous lady from a famous family. She is beautiful and kind. How could she do such a thing?"

"You can't know a person's heart by knowing his face. You, huh."

Piano skills?

Lu Jiuwan became a little interested.

"I don't have it. You are wronging me. Madam knows it. She clearly knows that I don't have it. I never have it!"

The woman desperately argued for herself. Her former friend was willing to take the risk to buy her, and now he cruelly sent her to the pawnbroker.

The sturdy maid slapped her viciously.

"You are worthy of mentioning our Madam, you shameless thing."

She leaned close to her ear, "To tell you the truth, Madam has long disliked you, but she just doesn't want the young master to think she is jealous. Who told you to have a seductive face? The young master's soul has been seduced by you."

"Sent you to do rough work, and the young master still pleaded for you in front of the Madam, how can the Madam not hate you?"

The woman shed tears in pain, she had already guessed it in her heart.

"I didn't seduce anyone." She even saw the young master took the initiative to hide aside.

But no one listened to her defense.

"I want this, no one can snatch it!"

"Bah, you haven't quoted yet."

"No matter how much it costs, I'll take it."

The eldest daughter of the Yi family has disappeared for two years. Although she has lost her glorious status, her beauty and figure are still top-notch.

If I can really buy her back, I will definitely make a lot of money.

The maid looked at so many people surrounding her, and she was even more disgusted with the woman next to her.

"I think many people have recognized this, this former eldest daughter of the Yi family, now called Cui'er." Her voice was full of contempt.

The eldest daughter of the Yi family was in pain and embarrassment, feeling like she was stripped naked and thrown into the crowd.

However, the maid next to her raised her chin proudly, just because she could sell a woman who was more beautiful than herself.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a base price, 10 taels of silver, the highest bidder wins, everyone has a chance."

Everyone thought it was too expensive, "10 taels? 10 taels of silver can buy 10."

Someone squeezed out, "Tsk, if you can't afford it, stand aside, I want it!"

"Eleven taels! Do you really think you're the only one with money?"

"..."

The voices of bidding continued, and there were even arguments.

Lu Jiuwan walked up and said, "I want it."

The maid turned around and saw Lu Jiuwan, she was surprised, but after coming to her senses, her face was full of jealousy and disgust, "This lady, the one who pays the highest price gets it, don't you understand?"

"Besides, do you know what Cui'er did wrong?"

"I know, you wrongly accused her of seducing your young master."

The woman raised her head when she heard this.

Someone actually believed her defense!

"You! I didn't wrongly accuse her. You want to buy it? Oh, if you buy it back to seduce your husband, don't blame me for not reminding you now. Don't think that just because you look better than her, men like new things."

Lu Jiuwan: "You are right. But my husband is blind and can't see."

Song Yu and others looked at the young lady suddenly.

Is the lady actually blind?

How can she be worthy of the young lady!

No wonder the young lady wanted to escape, she must feel that God is unfair.

The young lady should be matched with someone...matched with someone...

I can't think of it.

Anyway, you can't be blind!

Chapter 110 Musician +1

The maid choked, "I won't sell it. Go away. Don't you see so many people waiting to buy it over there? It's your turn?"

She just wanted this woman to be bought back by these men.

This would relieve her depression.

The young master never looked at other maids. She had been with the young lady for so many years and never got a straight look. But this woman attracted the young master as soon as she came.

If the young master knew that this woman was bought back by these men, I wonder if he would still think about her in the future.

Lu Jiuwan stepped out, took out ten taels of silver, and handed it to Song Yu.

He looked at him and said, "I bought it."

Song Yu met the young lady's eyes, thought for a while, took the money, walked forward, and squeezed into the crowd.

Then he stuffed the money into the maid, snatched the contract of sale from her hand, and took the woman away.

The maid stared blankly at the money in her hand, ten taels, no more, no less.

Then she reacted.

"Hey. What are you doing! Put the person down, and you want to take ten taels of silver away, don't you see they are all raising the price?"

Two servants stepped forward to stop him, "Put the person down."

The people around also reacted, this is trying to force the purchase.

"Stinky boy, don't you talk about the rules? The highest bidder wins, leave the person!"

"You are so young, and you want to play with women, hahaha."

"It's not even as thick as my fingers, can it make women feel comfortable, hahaha"

"Hahaha." A group of people laughed wantonly.

Lu Jiuwan frowned.

Song Yu didn't understand, "The money has been paid, the deal has been done, you want to steal my things? You're courting death."

Maid: "Who agreed? Put the person down quickly. You two, why don't you leave the person behind."

The two tried to snatch the person from Song Yu, but Song Yu attacked, hitting them with one palm and one blow, and the two retreated painfully.

"Why are you hitting people!" the maid shouted in panic.

The people around also disagreed.

"Today we agreed that the highest bidder wins, don't think about forcing it, it's great to know some boxing skills, there are so many of us."

They surrounded Song Yu and the woman.

Mo Chun and the others secretly glanced at the young lady.

Lu Jiuwan lowered his head and flicked his nails.

Then the others retracted their gaze, their expressions changed instantly, and they walked towards the crowd.

Even Ying Die followed behind with great momentum.

But within a few breaths, the people surrounding Song Yu and the woman fell to the ground, and none of them could scream in pain.

The maid screamed in fear, which was completely different from her previous arrogant appearance.

Song Yu took out a dagger from his arms, shining brightly, and approached her with murderous intent.

The maid's eyes widened instantly, full of fear, and she squatted down with trembling hands.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

The look in this child's eyes really wanted to kill people!

Song Yu didn't care how scared she was, and the dagger in his hand slowly approached her neck.

The maid was almost scared to death.

"Song Yu, please stop killing people, please." Lu Jiuwan called out in time.

Ying Die looked up at the young lady in confusion.

She cried and shouted to Song Yu: "Brother Yu, please, please stop killing people."

Lu Jiuwan: Puff~

She lowered her head with a smile in her eyes.

Little girl.

Xia Qing rubbed her head with a smile.

"Sister Qing, please tell Brother Yu to stop. He's going to kill, he's going to kill!"

The maid rolled her eyes in fear and wanted to faint.

Again?

Beg him?

Going to kill?

He really killed people! And he couldn't control himself!

"Are you still robbing?" The boy's voice was cold and terrifying.

"No more snatching, no more snatching, I dare not..." The maid pleaded weakly with a sobbing tone.

Song Yu put away his dagger, stood up, and neatly cut the rope on Miss Yi.

Yi Ziyan took two steps forward and knelt down in front of Lu Jiuwan.

"Thank you for saving my life, Miss!" She kowtowed three times.

No one could understand how desperate, painful, and embarrassed she was in her heart.

If she could, she really wanted to die.

She didn't expect that God would actually pity her once.

Miss had given her a second life.

"Get up, follow me."

Song Yu and others followed Lu Jiuwan and left.

Yi Ziyan knelt there for a moment, then stood up and followed.

Ying Die ran back secretly.

"Get up, the young ladies are gone. Our young lady is so nice, the kindest person in the world!"

Yi Ziyan cried and smiled, "Okay, thank you."

She stood up and hurriedly followed the few people.

No one dared to stop her in the street behind her.

This is really going to kill people!

Seeing that several children were holding things in their hands, she hurried forward.

"Give it to me, I'll take it." She couldn't express her gratitude, including to these children.

Several children didn't give it.

Lu Jiuwan: "Give it to her."

The few people gave it to her, and they walked around in a relaxed and carefree manner.

Finally found the piano store.

Lu Jiuwan went in without hesitation.

The boss had never seen such a scene, two girls with a group of children.

"Girl, if you need anything, just tell me. This is the store with the most pianos in Liangfeng City. You are not wrong."

Lu Jiuwan waved to Yi Ziyan, "Come here."

Yi Ziyan came over quickly, "Miss, my name is Yi Cui'er."

"What was your original name?"

"Ziyan."

"Ziyan, I have a task for you. You will come back with me later and help me teach a few children to play the piano. Now you go to choose a piano."

Yi Ziyan was flattered and nodded quickly.

"Okay."

Lu Jiuwan sat in the store and drank the water brought by the boss.

After waiting for a long time for Yi Ziyan to choose, she tested the sound, looked at the materials, and made various comparisons.

Finally, she chose one.

Lu Jiuwan stood up.

"Okay, this is it. How many are there in the store?"

Boss:?

"Miss, each piano is unique. There is only one."

Lu Jiuwan: ...

What did you say?

What took so long.

"I want 40. How long will it take to give them to me?" She forgot to consider the efficiency of the pure handmade production in ancient times, so she asked first.

The boss was shocked. "Miss, you may not know that this piano is not something that ordinary people can own. First of all, this piano itself is a valuable item. Secondly, you have to spend money to hire a piano master to teach you."

"So the piano is not a hot-selling product. Look at our store. There are no more than 30 pianos in total. Besides, it takes at least one to two years to make a piano. Miss, you want 40 pianos. Are you serious?"

Lu Jiuwan: "I'm kidding."

Boss: ...

"Zi Yan, do you know anything else besides playing the piano? Mainly the skills of instruments that are easier to handle."

Yi Zi Yan understood what the lady meant.

"Miss, I can also play the flute, and also..."

"Okay, that's it! Boss, can you handle forty bamboo flutes?"

"Yes, yes, half a month, only half a month! Maybe even less than half a month, I can deliver the goods." The boss was also happy.

"Well, very good. I also want the two instruments you selected at the end."

The boss was even happier.

After buying things, Lu Jiuwan took a few people away.

Passing by the ready-made clothing store, he asked Yi Ziyan to go in and buy a few clothes.

Teachers still have to be decent.

When they found Huairong and Li Xuaner, they were already guarding the stall and registered their names on several pieces of paper.

The next day, Lu Jiuwan took a few children to eat and drink, and bought a lot of snacks, preserved fruits and cakes.

In the evening, it was time to take the exam.
