The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

Xiu Luoran came back from practicing martial arts in the small garden and found Qu Hou, wanting to see if he was satisfied with the person he bought.

Qu Hou was very happy and told Xiu Luoran that these people were very capable and it would be much easier for him as he only needed to take charge of the tasks every day.

Xiu Luoran came to see Hongying again, and Hongying introduced her:

"Miss, we already have an idea of ​​the candidates who will serve as the young masters' personal servants. We will be able to decide after observing for a while.

Those maids are not bad either. The young lady has good taste. Even the children who serve as servants to Moer..."

Xiu Luoran was stunned: "What's wrong, are you very naughty and hard to control?"

Hongying smiled: "That's not the case, Miss, please follow me."

Hongying led Xiu Luoran to the door of a room and motioned Xiu Luoran to look inside the room.

Xiu Luoran looked into the room and saw more than twenty children, clean and neatly dressed, sitting there.

Her younger brother Xiu Lingmo was standing in front, holding a book, and giving a lecture to the children like a little teacher.

"…This sentence means that a gentleman should do what he should do and should not do what he should not do…"

Seeing this, Xiu Luoran covered his mouth and pulled Hongying away.

"Auntie Hong, are you worried that if Moer is always with them, it will affect his studies?"

Hongying nodded: "This is just one aspect. The main thing is that among those children, there are a few who look very smart and scheming.

I am afraid that Moer is too naive and could be used by them to do something that would be detrimental to his family and himself."

Xiu Luoran thought for a moment and said, "Auntie Hong, go do something else. Leave this to me. Don't worry, I will take care of it."

"Hey."

Hongying left, she trusted Xiu Luoran very much.

Xiu Luoran entered the house, and Xiu Lingmo was very happy:

"sister."

Xiu Luoran smiled and said, "How is it? It feels great to be a young master, right?"

Xiu Lingmo felt a little embarrassed:

“I just often come across some sentences and I don’t know how to say them.”

"If you don't understand, just ask. You can ask the eldest brother or the second brother. You must be tired after being a teacher for so long. Go find Aunt Hong. I'll talk to them for a while."

"it is good."

After Xiu Lingmo left, Xiu Luoran's face darkened, making the children feel a little nervous.

Xiu Luoran said: "I went to the pawnshop that day to buy a servant for my brother, the young man just now.

You all know what happened afterwards. You haven't forgotten what you said at the time, have you? "

The children answered weakly:

"No."

"You said, just work for me and earn a living, right?"

"Correct."

"As long as you understand. Now, raise your hands if you can read."

Seven or eight children raised their hands, including the twins and the little boy they were protecting.

"I only want one servant, and who I choose in the end will depend on your performance.

I don't lack people to work. I bought you because of your request.

Let me ask, if any of you don't want to stay, or if you have somewhere else to go, I can send you away."

Two of the children who had raised their hands just now stood up:

"Miss, we came to the capital to look for our father, but we were sold by a servant on the way, and the servant took the money and ran away."

Xiu Luoran asked in surprise:

"Servants betraying their masters? Who sent you to Beijing?"

"It's... my grandmother."

"Grandmother?"

"No."

Xiu Luoran immediately smelled the scent of conspiracy:

"Come on, tell me how you were sold."

"My father went to Beijing to be an official, and my grandmother insisted that he take my second uncle's family with him.

My father said that life in the capital was not easy. His official position was too low and his salary was too little. He also had to rent a house in the capital, so he really had no ability to help my second uncle's family.

My grandmother was unhappy and made a big fuss, but my father still disagreed.

Finally, my grandmother suggested that my brother and I stay with her, firstly so that we could accompany her and secondly to reduce the burden on my father.

If my father disagreed, she would go to the government to sue him for disobedience.

My father had no choice but to agree, and he, my mother and I took my sister to Beijing.

A few days after my father passed away, my grandmother said that my brother and I were too noisy and wanted to send us back to my father. We were very happy.

Then, my grandmother just called two servants to take us to Beijing.

Grandpa Zhu was worried and said the road was too far and he insisted on following us. Grandpa Zhu was the one my father left behind to take care of us.

On the third day of our journey, Grandpa Zhu suddenly started to have diarrhea and was so exhausted that he couldn't even stand up.

Grandpa Zhu wanted to ask us to go back, but the two servants said that the sooner we deliver the goods, the sooner we can report back, so going back is impossible.

Grandpa Zhu couldn't leave, so he quietly told my brother and me to be careful on the road and not get hurt.

When we arrived at the next big city, two servants knocked us out and sold us.

I was planning to find an opportunity to escape, and when I heard that they were planning to send us to the capital to be eunuchs, we followed them to the capital.

When we arrived in the capital, we were intercepted by the Qiuya people, and then we met you, young lady."

Xiu Luoran asked, "Do you think your grandmother wanted to harm you, or did the servants sell you out for money?"

"I heard my grandmother secretly tell my second aunt that if my brother and I died, my grandmother would let my father adopt the eldest son of my second uncle's family as my father's son.

My grandmother said she had drugged my father and that he would never have children again."

Xiu Luoran was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but she held back and asked:

"Do you remember where your hometown is? How many days were you on the road?"

"My father told me that our home was more than 300 miles away from the capital. We walked for six or seven days and stayed in the dental clinic for one day."

Xiu Luoran found a pen and paper and said, "Come, write down your father's name, age, and official position. Also, write down your mother's surname."

The little boy was very happy and wrote it down happily.

Xiu Luoran called Xiu Lingmo and asked him to continue being the little teacher.

She took the two brothers with her, asked Mo Chou to harness the carriage, gave them some instructions, and then went to find Xiu Lingqun.

Unexpectedly, Xiu Lingqun went to his intelligence station to check and actually found the address of the child's father.

Xiu Luoran came to the door.

Hearing that it was the young lady of the Marquis of Zhenxi who was visiting, the newly appointed Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue, Yuan Ling, and his wife, Li, hurried to the door to greet them.

After entering the house, Xiu Luoran looked around:

"Master Yuan, you just arrived in the capital? Did you buy this house or rent it?"

Yuan Ling had been wondering whether he had offended the Marquis of Zhenxi Mansion in any way during the month since he came to Beijing.

Hearing Xiu Luoran's question, he answered honestly:

"I have just taken office for a little over a month, and I rent a house."

"Why don't you buy a house? Are you short of money?"

It’s not that I can’t afford it, but the situation at home…

Yuan Ling had no choice but to answer: "I haven't met the right one yet."

"Master Yuan has come to Beijing to take up his post. Who else is there in your hometown?"

Yuan Ling slowly began to taste the flavor. Thinking of his two sons back home, he hurriedly said:

"Miss, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Is it my family..."

Xiu Luoran is just a young lady from a marquis's mansion, not an official, so Yuan Ling doesn't need to call himself "your humble servant".

However, he did not know Xiu Luoran's purpose, and he was afraid of offending the Marquis's Mansion by addressing him inappropriately, so he called himself "your humble official" to show his respect.

Xiu Luoran smiled: "I do have two children here, Lord Yuan, please come out and meet them."

Yuan Ling and his wife Li followed Xiu Luoran to the door and saw two children getting off the carriage at the door.

These were the two sons that he and his wife had been thinking about day and night.

Xiu Luoran got on the carriage and left.

Yuan Ling returned to the house and couldn't wait to ask his eldest son:

"Tell Dad quickly, why did you two brothers go to the Marquis' Mansion?"
