A scholar becomes a landlord

In a few years, when they are old, their bones are fixed, and their bodies are no longer soft, they will be sold, and no one will know whether their life after the sale is good or bad.

Therefore, being a young lady is worse than being a brothel girl. Not only does it make people look down on her, her life span is generally not long, and she will be sold after the best age, not like a brothel girl who may redeem herself when she gets older.

"Master, even if you can't guess it, we can't even guess it. Well, the medicine is done."

Wei Fan stood up and shook the medicine bottle in his hand to Wei Le.

"Let me see." Wei Le stretched out his hand.

"Give."

The vial fell into his hands.

"Hmm~ It smells bad."

Wei Le went to the mouth of the bottle and sniffed it. There was a strange smell. It was obviously made of traditional Chinese medicine. Why did it smell so strange.

"This medicine not only smells bad, but more importantly, it will be very painful when applied on the body."

That's why Wei Fan started to prepare the medicine when he was sure that the young lady wanted to get rid of the dark marks on his body.

"The little gold steward spent 20 taels of silver to buy it back, and the medicine cost another 30 taels of silver to make. One person spent 50 taels of silver on him, and the little gold steward can buy many ordinary girls back to give it to him." Veterans become daughters-in-law."

Wei Le either felt sorry for the money, or was worried that this person was not worth the money that Manager Xiaojin paid. After all, people who have been here have problems both physically and psychologically.Wei Le was afraid that the other party would give Butler Xiao Jin a hard blow in the end, and he didn't know if he would be able to recover by then.

"Hey, young master, please give me the medicine!" Wei Fan knew that his young master's stingy personality had broken again when he heard this, so he quickly ran away with the medicine, leaving Wei Le behind him rubbing his chin in thought.

"Forget it, if it doesn't work, send him away. You can't let Butler Xiaojin be cheated again! Although it seems to have been cheated, 50 taels of silver!"

Even if the other party is a housekeeper, it will take a long time.

Wei Fan took the medicine and went to the servant's room behind the backyard.That little boy was arranged next door to Butler Jin. Is the little Butler Jin planning to get closer?Wei Fan scratched his head.

As for why he wasn't assigned to the guest room, no matter how confused Xiao Jin was, he wouldn't arrange for him to enter the guest's sleeping room!The young man also understood that he was not qualified to enter the home of such a big family with his own status, and it would be nice to have a place to stay now.

"Qingxi, I'm here to deliver the medicine."

Wei Fan knocked on the door outside. In fact, he could let the housekeeper Xiao Jin do it, but he was really curious about this little girl named Qingxi.

Although the other party is not very old, but the demeanor around him is not like a young lady, but more like the young master of a rich family.

"Please come in."

Hearing the knock on the door, Qingxi put down the book she was holding, and sat down on the kang again.

"Are you reading?" Wei Fan came in and saw the books on the kang table, and sure enough, this feeling became stronger.

"Well, my lord, please sit down."

Qingxi didn't deny it, and asked Wei Fan to go to the stove and bring hot water to make tea for him when he sat down. The tea was given by the butler Xiaojin, and he had nothing but the clothes on his body.

"This is medicine. You must know how to use it yourself, so I don't need to say more. But I'm curious about your identity. It doesn't look like you came from that kind of place at all."

The young men in the small mansion all look a bit feminine, especially teenagers like this. If they put on women's clothes for them, no one will doubt their gender at all, because in order to make them stunted, these people They will be given a kind of medicine after entering the small hall, so that the young children will maintain the appearance of teenagers when they were fifteen or sixteen years old before the age of 20, and they will stop growing, and there will be no voice change period and Adam's apple.

"...I really didn't enter the Xiaoguan Pavilion since I was a child, but was sold into it a year ago."

Qingxi knew that he couldn't hide it from these people, so he didn't want to hide it from the beginning.The family was his final resting place, and he didn't want everyone to alienate him.Butler Xiaojin said that if he wanted to, he could stay, as long as he could get the approval of the young master.

"Then you used to be?"

Wei Fan came here this time to find out the identity of the other party. If it is harmful to Wei Zhai, he doesn't mind being a killer again.

"I was originally the eldest son of a rich family, but my mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me. Not long after that, my father married my stepmother. You also know that in a rich family, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Because I occupy As the eldest son, my stepmother disliked me in every possible way, last year when my father was not at home, she drugged me and sold me to a human trafficker, and the other party saw that I was good-looking, so he sold me to a small house."

In a few simple sentences, Qingxi confessed his status as the Supreme Being, and told everything except where his home was.

"You don't want to go back?"

Wei Fan asked again, he has already left the small house now, as the young master, doesn't he want to go home and live a good life?

"It's just embarrassing for me to go back like this. Maybe my father will drive me out of the house because of this. After all, I took it in such a place before, and..."

Thinking of the situation when he was forced to pick up customers this year, Qingxi felt a pain in his heart, pressed his hands on the table and bit his lower lip tightly to let himself endure, and could no longer be weak.

"Ha, you're smart."

Wei Fan pretended not to see his gaffe, thinking that this Qing Xi was a smart person, knowing that he would not be able to please him when he returned home with his current status.It's good not to be exposed by others, but once someone knows his experience this year, it may not be as simple as being kicked out of the house. If his father is any more scumbag, it is possible to directly kill this embarrassing son.

"It's just self-preservation."

Qingxi turned his head, now he only hoped that his uncle would find out about his stepmother's conspiracy, not to mention anything else, just because of the dowry left by his mother, he didn't want to take advantage of the wicked mother and son.

"……I see."

After taking a deep look at Qinghai, Wei Fan suddenly stood up, ignored his doubtful eyes, and walked directly outside.

"..."

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong?" Butler Xiaojin came in, and saw Qingxi staring at the door in a daze.Later, when he was sick, he reached out to touch his forehead.

"No, not at all." Qingxi shook her head, and passed Butler Xiaojin's hand.

"sorry."

Seeing Qing Xi dodge, Xiao Jin butler thought he didn't like being touched by others and immediately apologized.

"No, you don't have to apologize, it's my fault."

Qing Xi clenched his hands into fists, how could he let his benefactor's clean hands touch him when he was so dirty.

"...you..."

Seeing this, the butler Xiao Jin knew that he was being stubborn again, so he didn't force himself and put down the food box in his hand.

"This is your lunch. I asked Lixia to help me make it. You are not in good health and can't eat too greasy food, so I asked her to make porridge and two side dishes."

Butler Jin brought the food out of the food box, still smoking.

"Thank you."

Qingxi still didn't approach, so the butler Xiaojin had to leave temporarily, he knew that Qingxi would not sit down to eat when he knew that he was here.

After the housekeeper Xiao Jin left for seven days, Qing Hai heaved a sigh of relief.He knew that Butler Xiaojin was kind to him, but he didn't want to involve such a good person. If it wasn't for Butler Xiaojin, he would have been sold somewhere.Even for the sake of repaying his kindness, he can't get close to Butler Xiao Jin. With his status, he will only bring trouble and ridicule to the other party.

And the little housekeeper Jin who came out of the room stood outside and sighed uncontrollably. He bought Qingxi at the beginning not because he was tempted by a young lady, but because of the despair in his eyes, which he had once had.So at that moment, he felt that he saw himself, the self who had lost all hope because of being deceived.

Of course, he didn't say this reason to anyone, and let everyone misunderstand that he bought Qingxi because of his fancy.Otherwise, with Qingxi's previous status, everyone sympathized with him, but they might not get close to him.If everyone's misunderstanding can make them treat Qingxi better, then let's just misunderstand, anyway, he doesn't care now, and he doesn't want to marry a wife, so it's okay to be misunderstood.

After hearing Wei Fan's words, Wei Le Yiran and others fell silent for a while.

"His identity still needs to be checked. If it is true, let's treat him as Bao Qingtian and avenge him! If it is false, then his identity will make people curious. What is the purpose of coming to my Wei residence? "

Wei Le made the final decision, he is the master of the family, and he has the final say on whether to keep Qingxi or not.Now that Butler Xiao Jin has a crush on him, Wei Le doesn't want him to love someone else again.No matter for the sake of his grandfather or father, Wei Le felt that it was necessary to help him.

If this person is really like what he said, Wei Le feels that apart from the experience of the Xiaoguanguan, it is not easy to mention to others, it is still possible to rely on this person alone.As long as he is willing to live with Butler Xiaojin forever, Wei Le will keep him.

He can see these things openly, not to mention that most of these young men are not what he wants, they are poor people, he still has some sympathy for them.They are the ones who are truly pitiful compared to those who will be self-deprecating in the future.Wei Le's abilities are limited, so he will help if he can, and he will not take the initiative to recruit those who have not, because he knows that even if he can save one person, he will not be able to save thousands of people in the world.

Just like the future, the country has been cracking down, but there are still many girls and women who have lost their footing. There are only so many people a country can help, let alone one person.

"Yes."

Seeing that his young master had made a decision, Wei Fan immediately wrote a letter to express his intentions, and believed that everything about Qingxi would be placed on the young master's desk in a short time.Not only Qingxi, but those who entered the Wei Zhai now, including Li Qiu and Li Xia, have been carefully investigated. After confirming their identities, they have stayed in the Wei Zhai, otherwise they will be waiting for them in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

The place Wei Zhai is too special, or Wei Le is too special a person, the emperor can't let him have an accident, and if something happens to him, it will be a loss to the Daqing Dynasty.

Think about the Daqing Dynasty, which has become more and more prosperous in the past few years, and the treasury has become more and more full. Not to mention the friendship between the two, Wei Le has increased Daqing's income so much, and the emperor has to guarantee his safety.

Qingxi didn't know that even if he concealed his identity and didn't tell Wei Fan the location of his home, but under the investigation sent by the emperor, his affairs were cleaned up, including his father, stepmother, mother and son. , all of which were written down on the paper one by one, and then sent to Wei Le's hands in a hurry.
