248, Chapter 248

Qin Fang has been very leisurely recently. The emperor has not arranged a position for him yet. He is not familiar with the capital, and his personality does not like to wander around and entertain guests. ‌ Du Ke said that given his status, he is still quiet. The better thing is that the emperor didn't like that he was too active as soon as he came to the capital.

‌ said, Qin Fang was still happy to make something for his son.

Yang Haiyan looked at the small park, which was one-third completed, and walked over: "Are you tired?"

Qin Fang had heard her footsteps a long time ago. She walked in and saw her holding a cup of tea. He put down what he was doing and took the cup to drink tea: "You're not tired, why are you here?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Guan Ya's grandmother came just now, and I bought ten boys, ranging from eight to thirteen years old. The older ones can take care of Linyang, and the ten boys are not too busy. If the future is good, You can be Linyang’s right-hand man.”

Qin Fang always listens to Yang Haiyan's opinions on family matters, because he knows that his wife's ideas are better than his and more thoughtful than his. "I listen to you. I'll arrange martial arts masters for them later to practice their skills. When Linyang is a few years older, you can give him a medicinal bath and let him practice martial arts together."

Yang Haiyan said: "I also have this arrangement, but I also plan to arrange for ten boys to study. I will ask the master to teach them in the mansion. Knowing the characters is secondary. The main thing is to teach them to be loyal to the master and protect Linyang."

Qin Fang felt that what she said made sense: "Your arrangements are still thoughtful."

Ten boys live in a side room in Qin Linyang's courtyard. Five people live in a room. The beds are side by side and close to each other. However, each person has an independent cabinet and table, all with locks. Watch their performance over the past month. Those who perform well will be the captain of the five-person room. The captain will be rewarded every month. For daily meals, you go to the cafeteria to get a lunch box, one meat, one vegetarian, and one soup.

The boys stayed in the tooth shop for several days. They were not even half full every day, and the food was the roughest. Today at noon, they suddenly received the lunch boxes. Looking at the food inside, they not only drooled, but also felt suddenly in their hearts. It feels very sour.

The few boys who originally came from official families didn't feel that much and were already used to it, but the boys who fled, the boys who were sold by their stepmother, and the boys from official families who were in trouble were different. They thought of themselves and thought of I lost my family and was very sad.

Lunch is a piece of braised pork, a bowl of fried cabbage, and a bowl of pickled vegetable and egg soup. The stir-fried cabbage and pickled vegetable and egg soup are full. Although the braised pork is only as big as half a palm, it is good enough for them, and There is a lot of soup and can be mixed with rice.

Everyone ate in silence. When they were done eating, Grandma Lian came with a few guards carrying things. They were the cabinets and tables they had just bought, with locks.

Aunt Lian asked the guards to move the things in, and she said to the young boy: "You guys have a good rest today. Tomorrow morning, go to Dr. Li's yard to get a medicine pack to condition your body. You have to boil the medicine yourself. Don't you understand?" Dr. Li. After you drink the medicine tomorrow morning, I will come over and teach you the rules. After you have recovered your health, there will be a martial artist at home to teach you kung fu. At the same time, you still have to study. Although you know a few words, The words you know must be different, right? "

Twelve-year-old Wu Qiyuan was first excited: "Can we continue to study?" Something happened in his family, and he changed from an official son to a slave. It would be nice to have a bite to eat, but he didn't expect that there would be books. I could recite it, so I felt quite excited for a while.

Not only was he excited, but the rest of the boys were also excited after they reacted. They were able to go to the Qin Mansion because they were entrusted with literacy, so they also knew the importance of literacy. Now that the master is willing to let them study, how can they not be excited?

Aunt Lian looked at the ten attentive and excited faces and said calmly: "No, the purpose of studying is to let you understand more truth and to understand right and wrong. At the same time, you must also remember the kindness of the master's family. Don't Do something against the Lord.”

The ten boys said in unison: "Mom, please don't worry, we will not betray the master's family."

Asking someone specifically to let them study is something that no one's family can do no matter where they are. Of course, if Yang Haiyan was a native of ancient times, she would naturally not be able to do such a thing.

Seeing them expressing their opinions one after another, whether it was true or false, Grandma Lian was very satisfied. She had seen a lot of boys, but she mainly looked at boy No. 3 Wu Qiyuan, boy No. 8 Wang Youhang, and boy No. 9 Qin Jiang. The lady asked her to observe the boy and said that although Wu Qiyuan was a young master from a criminal family, he had a good mentality and understood right and wrong. He did not resent the court because it had convicted his father. On the contrary, he knew that his father had done something wrong and was willing to accept any kind of punishment. Since you have enjoyed the blessings brought by your father, you must bear the consequences of your father's mistakes. It can be seen that Wu Qiyuan has good moral character.

There is also the No. 8 boy Wang Youhang. During the escape, he sold himself to help his brother-in-law and niece. He has no resentment, which shows his character. He understands right and wrong and is generous. He is generous but not a good person, but has his own ideas. In addition, the No. 9 boy, General Qin, was taken in by the old beggar. When the old beggar was ill, he sold himself to the old beggar for medical treatment. Both boys are grateful people.

In the future, if nothing unexpected happens, such a child will definitely become the young master's right-hand man, and will not lead him into trouble.

Aunt Lian said again: "You guys find a place to sit down, and I will tell you about our Qin family. It is necessary for you to know how the Qin family started."

The ten-year-old boy quickly sat down and said, "Yes." At the same time, they also felt that the host's family was very different. Especially the boys who had been servants, when they were in other masters' houses before, they had never heard from that master's family how the master's family started their business.

Aunt Lian always followed Yang Haiyan's instructions. Although she didn't know why Madam gave such orders, she knew that Madam had her own reasons for doing things: "Our Qin family's affairs must follow..." Lian From the time when Qin Fang joined the army on behalf of his father, grandma talked about Qin Fang’s transfer back to the capital. Whether it was the general’s affairs or his wife’s affairs, she spoke carefully and carefully. Naturally, her carefulness was also known to outsiders. matter. Whether it’s the matter of ore or ice making‌‌.

After hearing this, the boy was very shocked. He did not expect that General Qin was once a good citizen, but he started from a good citizen. He also did not expect that the lady was once a first-class maid, and now she has become a second-class servant with her own ability. Madam, this is really amazing.

Looking at pairs of eyes flashing with excitement, Aunt Lian continued: "Don't worry, as long as you behave well, as long as you are loyal enough to the master, my wife promises that I can give your children a lease in the future, and your children will become Good citizens, those who are capable of the imperial examination can take the imperial examination, and those who are not qualified can be introduced to the military camp for training, but the premise is that you are loyal enough. "

If the deed's servants do not release the deed, not only will they be slaves for the rest of their lives, but so will their children. Going forward, their children will become the deed's sons, and they will also be deeded. Therefore, if the host family can let go of their children, it would be extremely exciting for them.

Maybe boys who are only eight or nine years old don't understand it very well, but boys in their teens do understand it. How could they not be excited when they heard what Aunt Lian said?

Especially Wu Qiyuan, he was originally the son of an official, and his father committed a crime and became a slave, so he never thought that the descendants of the Wu family could still be good people. Now that he heard Aunt Lian's assurance, his eyes were red. Determined to be loyal to the master's family and the young master, and to free his children from slavery in the future. In this way, he will be worthy of his father and the ancestors of the Wu family.

Aunt Lian looked at the expressions on the boys' faces and felt that Madam had indeed done a good job in combining grace and power. She was an old woman, and she was not as good as Madam in terms of ‌.

There were footsteps outside, and after a while, a child ran to the door. He stretched out his little head from outside the door and looked inside. The Wei brothers had already gone back. He also had lunch and took a nap. He remembered that there were many little brothers at home, so he pestered his mother to look for him, but her mother didn't come, so he asked his mother-in-law to bring him. . Qin Linyang ran in front, and the mother-in-law followed closely behind, fearing that the young master would fall. Although his knees had a layer of soft knee pads sewn into his pants, the mother-in-law was also worried. Fortunately, the young master was quite steady all the way and arrived outside the house safely.

Everyone's eyes met Qin Linyang's, and the ten-year-old boy quickly stood up and saluted: "I have met the young master."

Qin Linyang, who was already two years old, smiled at them, looked at them with pure and clear eyes, and then walked in with a shake of his head: "Hello, little brothers."

The ten-year-old boy quickly said: "I don't dare."

Aunt Lian didn't correct her. Madam had told her to just let the young master decide on his own.

Qin Linyang was bold and said that there was Aunt Lian who had watched him grow up. Naturally, he was not afraid. He walked into the house, looked at them curiously, and then looked at Aunt Lian: "Auntie, you guys What are you doing?"

Aunt Lian said: "I'm telling them stories."

When Qin Linyang heard this, he quickly found a place to squat down, holding his chin with his hands: "Mommy, I want to hear it too, is it the story of the Calabash Baby?" He heard his mother tell the story of the Calabash Baby, and he really liked it.

Aunt Lian said, "No, it's about your father's heroic story in the war."

"Wow?" Qin Linyang opened his eyes wide, "I also want to hear daddy's story. Mommy, please tell it."

Seeing that he was tired from squatting, Aunt Lian walked over and hugged him to the bed: "Okay, I'll tell you." So Aunt Lian told the story of General Qin's suppression of bandits again. Of course, she decided to speak simply, otherwise the young master might not understand. "It is said that General Qin was ordered to take up a post in Yunxiang County, and he was halfway..."

Qin Linyang interrupted her: "Mom, who is General Qin?"
