Straight man of steel

Chapter 121 Ayuan help me

If someone came in at this time, they would never have imagined how chaotic the living room was just now.

Zhang Yuan's shout made these scholars return to their original good demeanor of being gentle, courteous and thrifty.

The noon meal Li Li prepared was sufficient, satisfying all the visitors. After the meal, Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked Luo Xiahong to take all these scholars away, and stayed in Li's residence alone.

"Brother Li, I came this time mainly for the nineteen maidservants I entrusted to you to take care of. I don't know how many of them are left in Li's residence."

Although this matter was told to him by Zhang Yuan, Li Jian didn't really take it to heart, the left and right were just some maidservants, and so many years had passed.

Li Jian frowned tightly, and opened his mouth to speak to Zhang Yuan after a while.

"You have to ask the old slaves at home about this matter. A Yuan, you once said that they are allowed to marry freely, and these matters are also managed by the old slaves in the mansion. I really don't know how many people are left now."

Li Jian's attitude didn't make Zhang Yuan feel unhappy. There were more than a hundred servants in the Li family. How could these people, Li Jian, be the master of everything.

"It's okay, Brother Li, please invite the old man to ask."

Li Jian nodded, and went to find the old slave in person. This was because of Zhang Yuan's attention. He had to ask clearly in advance. If the old slave said something that might make Zhang Yuan unhappy, Li Jian should be prepared.

Not long after, Li Jian walked into the living room with the old slave guarding the mansion.

"I've seen Mr. Zhang."

Li Jian returned to his seat and sat down without saying a word, and gave Zhang Yuan the time for questioning.

"Old man, how many of the nineteen maidservants I sent to the mansion are still in the mansion now?"

Li Jian also told the old slave what he wanted to ask him, and the old slave spit it out without thinking.

"Eight people, the rest have found a good match, got married and left the Li Mansion."

In fact, Zhang Yuan has no objection to how many people are left. It is a good thing that they have all found good families.

"Trouble the old man to find them all."

The old slave slightly raised his head and glanced at Li Jian, Li Jian nodded directly, and the old slave followed Zhang Yuan's words.

I just met Xiaoya once, and Xiaoya's expression seemed rather excited, so it's not easy to talk about other people. For those who want to follow Zhang Yuan after a few years, Zhang Yuan will take them back to Chang'an. If they don't want to leave their hometown, they are all human beings. common sense.

When all the eight maidservants gathered together, only Xiaoya could be recognized by Zhang Yuan, and the rest could only be said to be familiar.

I can only do this, how can I think about how much love others have for me.

"I've seen your son."

Li Jian and the old slave had already retreated, and the eight maidservants saluted Zhang Yuan in unison.

"Everyone, a few years ago my fate was so bad that I temporarily placed you in the Li Mansion in order to avoid hurting you, and promised that you could marry freely and also promised to get rid of your slavery.

Now that you guys haven’t left the Li’s Mansion, it just so happens that I’m back in Chengdu because of some things, and I have a chance to take all of you to Chang’an. I don’t know if you are willing to come back to Chang’an with me. What you promise counts. "

Everything has cause and effect, Zhang Yuan does not believe in Buddhism, but believes in cause and effect.

Coming to the Li Mansion this time can be regarded as understanding the cause and effect.

After all, the days in the Zhang Mansion were relaxed and happy. The master of the Li family rarely came to Chengdu. The things they maids could do every day were limited, and their lives were very relaxed, but they could not find a sense of belonging.

Zhang Yuan proposed to take them to Chang'an. Several people showed happy expressions on their faces, and Xiaoya kept nodding. However, there were still two people who showed hesitation on their faces. Since they hesitated, it means that this place is difficult for them. Let go of something.

"If you are willing, go back and pack your things. If you are not willing, I will tell Mr. Li that I will let you continue to stay in the Li Mansion."

Xiaoya and others happily ran back to pack their things, and there were only two people left in the hall.

"Son, we"

A big man just can't see the girl's twitchy look.

"Just say anything, son, I won't blame you."

"The two of us already have someone we like, so we want to stay."

Getting married is more important than anything else, a family can give a woman a sense of security that far exceeds that of a son.

"It's okay, then congratulate you two first, there is still some money here, you two take it and divide it."

Zhang Yuan took out some broken gold from his bosom and handed it to the two maidservants. Because they knew some of Zhang Yuan's habits, they didn't refuse, took the money and went down.

Xiaoya and the others packed up their things and prepared to leave with Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan had no way to bring them to the prefect's mansion, nor could he keep them with him all the time, but let them live in an inn temporarily. Waiting for some officials of the mission to return to Chang'an tomorrow to report the situation of Shu County to Wang Hui, let them take Xiaoya and the others back to Chang'an by the way.

Li Jian kept sending Zhang Yuan to the gate of the prefect's mansion, with a struggling expression on his face several times, seeing that Zhang Yuan was about to go in, he finally yelled.

"Ayuan."

Zhang Yuan also waited for Li Jian to call him. If there was nothing to ask for, it was just a matter of Li Jian coming alone, so how could he let a whole family come to Chengdu from Linqiong.

Turning around and smiling wryly at Li Jian, Zhang Yuan spoke before Li Jian.

"Brother Li, you can tell me anything, I'm just a pedestrian, and I don't have the hands and eyes that you think.

If I can help, I will definitely help, and if I can't, please forgive me. "

It is very necessary to be vaccinated in advance, so as not to let the other party speak and then refuse to cause greater unhappiness.

"A Yuan, it's not a major event, but my father participated in the suppression of the rebellion during the Seven Kings' Rebellion, beheaded more than 13 people and was awarded the No. Cannot be hereditary.

Our family's land is relatively good in Linqiong. Once something happens to my father, the family will inevitably fall.

I just want to ask Ayuan that you can take me to Chang'an, as long as I can go to the army to fight off this head, I will also kill a few thieves to keep my family safe. "

Zhang Yuan didn't know how the Han Dynasty's military merits were calculated. It seemed that the military merits of killing the southwestern Yi people were not much at all, but the military merits of killing the Huns were the most.As for how to enter the army, he didn't know anything. The corvee that the common people had to deal with and the slave soldiers Zhang Yuan knew how to enter, but the regular army really didn't know.

Zhang Yuan shook his head at Li Jian and said helplessly.

"Brother Li, I can't even figure it out, so I really can't help you."
