Before confiscating the house, the medical concubine emptied the enemy's warehouse to flee fami

"Don't think it's too easy. When a man gets angry, it's harder to appease him than a woman."

Chu Qi also kindly reminded Song Jiuli, and Song Jiuli felt overwhelmed.

"Sister-in-law, are you free recently? Can I learn to cook from you?!"

Song Jiuli remembered a saying: to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach.

Sister-in-law’s cooking is so delicious, she must learn from her.

"I'm afraid I don't have time, but Qiu Niang and the others know how to make those dishes. If you want to learn, you can find Qiu Niang or Mu Xiang."

Jiang Wan has been a little busy recently, and the money she got from Baiyi Valley must be used properly.

"Okay, I'll go find them. I hope to learn something before Sheng Yi comes back."

Song Jiuli always looks tired and exhausted. Jiang Wan and Chu Qi looked at each other and smiled, hoping that she could really do what she said!

After finishing the affairs in the mansion, Jiang Wan started to deal with the business in the shop in the next few days.

As soon as she finished checking the account books, Qiu Niang came to report, “Princess, I have taken in a large number of children according to your instructions.

The prince always said that there were not enough guards in the courtyard. Would the princess like to personally select a few to train?"

Now most of the people in their yard have been sent out by Jiang Wan.

Every shop needed manpower, and Jiang Wan was always kind to others, so everyone scrambled to work in the shop.

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

Jiang Wan thought of Xinxin and Xiaoshu. They were still young, and when they grew up they would always want to go out and play.

It is time to select a few capable people for them in advance.

Just like Song Yi and the others always protect Song Jiuyuan.

The former orphanage could no longer accommodate so many people, so Jiang Wan asked Qiu Niang to buy a house.

Perhaps they had received the news in advance, because when they entered, the yard was full of people.

These people are of different ages, and the youngest is even still in swaddling clothes and being held by his older brothers and sisters.

The oldest one was already in his teens, and now they all looked at Jiang Wan anxiously.

Qiu Niang explained in a low voice, "This is a new batch. The previous ones have been sent to various shops and workshops."

Jiang Wan now has so many shops and workshops under her control that she herself may not even remember how many people are in them.

"Ah."

Jiang Wan's eyes fell on the children in the yard, and she couldn't help but think that if these children were in modern times, they would probably still be treasures held in the palms of their parents' hands.

The times are different, and their destinies are completely different.

Dozens of children stood obediently, fearing that the nobleman who bought them would sell them in a fit of anger.

They lived in the lower class and didn't know that Jiang Wan was the princess. Jiang Wan asked Xue Li and the others to carry Xinxin and Xiaoshu down from the carriage.

"Xinxin, Xiaoshu, why don't you pick a few brothers and sisters that you like and let them protect you in the future?"

Jiang Wan planned to select a few people for Song Yi and others to train.

As for the personal servant, he can be selected from the children of the servants in the mansion.

"Mom, is it okay if I like it?"

Xinxin has pigtails and tilts her head slightly, looking particularly cute.

"of course."

Jiang Wan smiled and nodded, her eyes and brows were gentle, which made the children present very envious for a moment.

So this is what it feels like to be spoiled by your mother.

It's a pity that they don't have such a good life.

"I don't want their protection."

Xiao Shu shook his head and said, "I can protect myself."

The little child admired his father's tall figure so much that he wanted to be like his father!

"Silly child, your father is very powerful, but he is also protected by Uncle Song Yi and others."

Jiang Wan chuckled, but the children not far away were all disappointed when they heard that the young master didn't need it.

Are they going to be sold again?

"Oh."

Xiao Shu seemed to understand, and pointed at a boy in a swaddling cloth and said:

"I want him."

The little boy looked about three or four years old, skinny and was in a swaddling cloth.

Qiu Niang quickly looked at the booklet and whispered to Jiang Wan:

“Princess, this boy’s family has suffered a disaster, and only his father and his siblings are left.

As a result, his father fell seriously ill and died just after arriving in the capital, which was quite pitiful."

"Ah."

Jiang Wan nodded slightly and walked to the little boy. The little boy's eyes were bright, and she asked him softly.

"How old are you?"

"The younger Jiaoyang is five years old this year, and my brother is only five months old."

Jiaoyang's father was once a scholar, but unfortunately he had a bad life. However, he still had high hopes for his children.

"Are you willing to learn martial arts and protect my child in the future?"

Jiang Wan still adheres to the principle of voluntariness. If someone is unwilling, they can stay and continue to learn other skills.

Jiaoyang raised his eyes slightly, looked at the noble person in front of him, and hugged the swaddling clothes tightly.

"Can my brother and I have enough to eat?"

"Of course."

Jiang Wan felt a little sad because of the child's question, "But you will suffer a lot, because learning martial arts is very hard."

"I am not afraid of hardship, as long as I can have enough food, I am willing to protect the young master!"

Jiaoyang assured very loudly, he had no idea that today would change his life.

Even when he was old, he often told his descendants that he was pleasing to the young master.

"it is good."

Jiang Wan nodded in satisfaction, but Xiaoshu refused to choose anymore, so Jiang Wan had to choose four people for him personally.

Then there was Xinxin. This kid had no interest in this at all. It was Jiang Wan who chose them all.

A total of ten children were selected, all of whom were relatively young. The older ones felt it was too late for them to learn from Wu Jiang Wan.

Just let them stay in the orphanage to learn other skills.

After finally choosing the person, a boy suddenly knelt in front of Jiang Wan.

"My lord, I also want to protect the young master."

He was a little boy of about ten years old, with a slightly delicate appearance, but it was not very obvious because he was very dark.

“Just because the master doesn’t choose you doesn’t mean he’s giving up on you, since you’ve already come to the Orphanage Hall.

You can stay in the orphanage and learn some skills to make a living."

Qiu Niang knew that they must be worried that they would be sold again if they were not selected, so she gave them a reassurance.

Sure enough, many children breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they were not starving to death.

The little boy who was kneeling in front of Jiang Wan said:

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I just want to learn Kung Fu to protect the young master!"

"You are a little older and have missed the best age to learn martial arts."

Jiang Wan frankly expressed her concerns, but unexpectedly the child was so stubborn.

"The younger ones will work ten times harder than the average person, and they also have some hunting skills."

"master."

Qiu Niang lowered her voice and said to Jiang Wan, "This child's family used to be hunters.

There should be some foundation, but the people in their village were killed by bandits.

I am worried that he is too violent and might hurt the young master."

"Bandits from Kyushu?"

Jiang Wan was a little surprised. She remembered that Song Jiuyuan had cleared out all the bandits in Jiuzhou.
