[Red Mansion] The occupation of Huangsang!

"Where did you come from?"

Roasting the wild boar brought back by Wu Ge, Shui Lan asked the oldest child of the group of beggars, who seemed to be the leader, with a gentle expression.

"We are from Shangwan Village..."

"Shangwan Village... Shui Lan glanced at Wu Ge with some hesitation. After Wu Ge nodded, Shui Lan asked again." Is it Jinling City. "After the child nodded, Shui Lan asked again." By the way, what's your name. "

"My name is Li Goudan, this is my sister Li Xiaohua..."

After the half-grown boy named Li Goudan smiled, he pointed to the dirty five-year-old girl who hid shyly behind him with only one head sticking out, and then pointed to the other beggars one by one. Introduced. "This is Xiaocui, Erya, Wang Ergou, Jia Shitou, Zhusheng, Shi Dalong and Shi Xiaolong,"

Li Goudan pointed at the Shijia brothers and laughed. "By the way, Shi Dalong and Shi Xiaolong are the two of them, and there is a famous relative in the capital..."

"What relatives?"

Shi Dalong, who looked about the same age as Li Goudan, roared unconvinced. "That's me and Xiaolong's own father."

"Does your own father recognize you? If he does, he won't let the housekeeper sell you." Erya retorted sharply.

"It wasn't made by our father..." Shi Xiaolong's voice dropped, "It was done by the eldest wife, she hated our mother, that's why..."

At this time, Shui Lan and Wu Ge, who could hear the smell, looked at each other and asked. "Could your father be the Shihou of the capital?"

"What?" Shui Zhai, who woke up from a dazed state, pulled out his ears, as if he couldn't believe what he heard. "It turns out that Shihou still has a concubine son, isn't it said that Shihou is a strict wife?"

"It can't be raised in a foreign house."

Shui Lan, who had already despaired of her elder brother's IQ, rolled her eyes and asked Wu Ge angrily. "Future brother-in-law, I remember Shi Hou's ancestral house is in Jinling."

"Not only the historians, but even the old residences of the royal family, the imperial merchant Xue's family, and the Dukes of Rongning and Ningxia are all in Jinling..." Wu Ge deserves to be the dog head hand-picked by Shui Lian in no particular order of Jia Jing and Ma Li Military advisor, Shui Lan just asked, and Wu Ge told him all the information he knew.Of course, he did not collect these information, but Ma Li, who is known as the gossip little ronin, collected and told him. "By the way, the nanny of the Long Live Lord also seems to have married to Jinling... The married person seems to be named Zhen. Currently, she has a son named Zhen Yingjia."

Mali, Jia Jing, and Wuge are good at different things. Mali is good at collecting intelligence, Jia Jing is good at analyzing and dealing with tedious matters, and Wuge is good at layout.This time, Jia Jing went to the Jiangnan area for disaster relief, but he did not go with Shui Lan and the others. Instead, he went to the disaster area first as a deputy imperial envoy with the relief food... As for the reason, I have already said it before. Lan did not trust this group of officials who had become accustomed to corruption.

"A little impression."

After Shui Lan nodded, she looked at the two Shijia brothers who were dressed in ragged clothes and looked depressed, thinking that if they sent the two children back to the Shijia, there would be something interesting to watch.Hehe, I told you to be good Mrs. Shi Hou, don't do it, and spend all day thinking about it, but she still dares to hit the prince with her idea. Thinking of your daughter's ugly sample, the prince feels a chill in his heart. Now he has the opportunity to add trouble and make other If it's sour, the prince would be a fool if he didn't do it.

Shui Lan, who made up her mind in an instant, smiled like a wolf grandmother and asked the Shi family brothers. "Do you want to go back to the capital to recognize your father?"

Shi Dalong and Shi Xiaolong looked at each other and nodded at the same time.Seeing this, Shui Lan smiled comprehensibly, and gave two more suggestions to the Shi family brothers.Should he give some money to sponsor the two brothers to go to Beijing to join their father, or should he go to Beijing with them after his affairs are settled.

"We will go to Beijing with the young master."

Shi Xiaolong seemed to see that the three of Shui Lan were of extraordinary birth, so while Shi Dalong was still hesitating, Shi Xiaolong decisively chose the latter option. After all, he and Shi Da are now like beggars, relying on nothing but It is the kindness of this young man.If they are allowed to go to Beijing alone to visit relatives, if the wife stops them and secretly catches and sells them, their own father probably won't know about it, so it's better to go to Beijing together with the young master after the young master's affairs are settled.

"He's a smart kid."

Shui Lan sighed in admiration, then looked at Li Goudan again, and asked with a smile under his embarrassed look. "The two Shijia brothers have made a decision. What are you going to do? From the fact that you are able to bring these children around to make a living, I can see that you are a smart person... What are you going to do?"

Li Goudan touched his head and asked with a particularly bright smile. "Can you take all of us in, young master? We can help you inquire about news, help you wash and fold quilts... and... still..."

"What else?" Shui Zhai asked curiously.

"It can also help warm the son's bed." Li Goudan roared with a flushed face.Not to mention, Li Goudan's appearance is actually very good, even if he is dressed in rags, he can't hide his handsomeness. Given time, he will definitely grow into a glorious Mikaro.But Nima... Shui Lan's mouth twitched involuntarily, what does warming the bed mean... I'm rough, Li Goudan, I didn't expect your thoughts to be so dirty at such a young age...

"I don't like men... and I don't like little boys." What I like is soft girls.

Solemnly reaffirming her good qualities and taste, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Shui Zhai's schadenfreude smile, and Shui Lan, who was grinding her teeth with hatred, directly involved Shui Zhai. "Of course, if you really want to dedicate your life to repay your kindness, Goudan, you can consider my elder brother."

As soon as these words came out, Shui Zhai quit immediately.He rolled up his cuffs, pointed at Shui Lan's nose and cursed while stomping his feet. "Think about me~ Grandpa doesn't have such a hobby yet... Grandpa loves women like Yao'er."

"...Brother, you have a unique taste. I admire it."

Simply not giving Shui Zhai a chance to fight on her own, Shui Lan said a lot of admiration words, making Shui Zhai's words so unreasonable.

"Second brother, didn't I say that although Ms. Wu is beautiful, she is really too deserted. Are you not afraid of freezing when you sleep together?"

As soon as these words came out, Wuge couldn't bear to look directly at him. His eldest prince really made him at a loss for what to say. Did he forget that he was Miss Wu's biological elder brother? Wuge shook his head He led the beggars headed by Li Goudan out of the ruined temple. He remembered that there was a small town not far ahead, and he went there to buy some inexpensive commoner clothes for the beggars to change into.

After Wu Ge left, the conversation between the two brothers Shui Zhai and Shui Lan continued, and Shui Lan said with a serious face. "Choose among four people, Miss Shijia, Miss Wang, Miss Wu, and my uncle's 13-year-old cousin, who would you choose..."

Shui Lan sighed bitterly. When he learned that there were only so few candidates for his crown princess, he almost couldn't breathe.What enmity does his emperor's father have with him, or how blind he is... If Wu Tingfang is the original wife of the fourth child, the historical empress filial piety... Hehehe, he would rather marry Wu Tingfang Ting Fang didn't want any of the three prodigal wives, nor the concubine he was destined for. At least she was filial to Empress Xian and gave birth to a son (although he didn't grow up), but it was better than only giving birth to a daughter who was suspected of being Kefu. The princess is much better.

Thinking of this, Shui Lan sighed bitterly again, while Shui Zhai nodded in approval. "If my father also lets me choose among Smith, Wang Dazhu, Yaomei and my cousin, I will also choose Yaomei..."

Shui Zhai patted Shui Lan on the shoulder, and said with a sigh. "Second brother, what kind of nerves do you think our father has twitched, why did he recognize the sister of the historian Wang family..."

"If those sisters in Jia's mansion weren't Tongfang students, maybe the emperor will add them to their quota..." Shui Lan also said with a sigh. "However, I heard Brother She said that his concubine sister is good... It's a pity that his mother hates it, so she is a bit cowardly..."

"Eh, I remember Brother She once talked to you in private, and wanted you to accept that Jia as a concubine." Hearing Shui Lan mention the concubine of Jia's mansion, Shui Zhai suddenly remembered this matter. thing. "Second brother, what are you going to do, accept it or not."

"It's just a concubine, why not accept it."

Shui Lan said with a nonchalant face. "Although this Jia Qiangwei has a high family background, but because she is a concubine and is not valued, she is cowardly and petty. I accept her because I want to appease the meritorious family. After all, the Wu family is just a new meritorious family; It's also because of his personality, I don't want to accept a restless master and make the house restless..."

"Hearing what you said, my eldest brother realized that there are not many good sisters and daughters in the meritorious family in the capital... Of course, my sister Yao is the exception." When Ma Yao was mentioned, Shui Zhai smiled ripplingly, that cheap The expression on her face made Shui Lan dare not look directly at her.

"Sister Yao's aunt was born in a scholarly family. Although her family is in decline, her background is better than that of a meritorious family who followed her ancestors to conquer the world and was born with mud legs. Sister Yao was raised by her since she was a child. People's daughters are different..." Although she grew up a little crooked and became fond of women's clothing and arms, but I think her aunt is graceful by nature and doesn't like to fight with others. If sister Yao doesn't act tougher, she He and his aunt have been eaten up by the people who rule the country...

"Forget it, what are you going to do when you arrive in Jinling?" Shui Zhai changed the subject.

"It is expected that Jia She and his party have already arrived in Jinling... Let's visit in secret first, to see if these newly appointed officials dare to be greedy in front of the 'Prince'."

"You shouldn't dare!"

"It's hard to say, what this group of dogs are best at is obedience and disobedience."
