I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Lin Jin was stunned by his reaction: "What, what's wrong? Can't I?"

Could there be some unexpected changes in the meantime?

Song Shiqiu just frowned slightly, then shook his head: "It's not that I can't, but there are no elders in his family, so how can this marriage be settled? He has always been proper, how can he do such a thing to neglect a girl's family."

"I thought it was a big deal." Lin Jin was still wondering if there was some entanglement between the two people in their previous generation. It turned out that it was just because of this. She told Song Shiqiu about the misunderstanding between Heng Mu and Yu Zhuoran, "The marriage between the two should have been just a verbal arrangement. After all, Heng Mu didn't even know his own name at the time, and he probably didn't go to the government. We can make it up for them later."

If they had gone to the government office at the beginning, there wouldn't have been any misunderstanding later, so this marriage actually doesn't count.

"How stupid! This boy was so smart in the past, why does he do so many stupid things now?" Song Shiqiu felt ashamed after hearing this. Not only did Heng Mu get engaged in a confused manner, but he even made a mistake with the most basic thing.

Lin Jin curled her lips. Who could be blamed for this? Song Shiqiu also had some responsibility. "Why didn't you tell him clearly what his name would be in the future? You still have the nerve to blame him? He has been with you for so many years, and you suddenly let him go. You didn't even tell him clearly, causing him to try to commit suicide."

"I just thought that this boy shouldn't be so stupid. Who knew that he looked smart, but was actually just a blockhead." Song Shiqiu didn't think he was wrong at all. He had done the best he could do now.

Lin Jin knew that he had his own ideas and generally speaking, he couldn't be persuaded. So she didn't say anything for Heng Mu anymore. After all, it was indeed a bit foolish to seek death like this.

"Sir, the maids and servants in the mansion have all signed death contracts, but I, I want to let them leave the mansion when they reach the age." Lin Jin's voice became lower and lower, and the speech he had prepared in his mind was completely forgotten at this moment.

"Huh? Why did you suddenly have such an idea?" Song Shiqiu just asked her why she suddenly thought like this, when she had never had such a thought before.

"I just think that there is no need for us to keep them. When they get older, their health will definitely not be as good as before, and they will not be able to do many things smoothly. What's the point of keeping them? It's better to give them freedom and buy some young maids and servants to live in the mansion."

"Otherwise, if these people stay in the mansion for too long, they will have no hope in life, and their lives will be boring and lifeless. It's not a good look, right?" Lin Jin secretly pinched his sleeves, a little nervous about Song Shiqiu's attitude.

Song Shiqiu pondered her words and said with a smile: "You are just soft-hearted, aren't you? These people signed a death contract from the beginning, what else can they hope for."

"You can't say that. After all, you only recruit workers who sign life-long contracts. Even if they don't want to sign life-long contracts, it's probably difficult for them to do so. The social environment is like this, how can you blame them?" Lin Jin couldn't help but speak for them, "Besides, doesn't Daxia also advocate employment relationships rather than transactions? As the prime minister, shouldn't you lead by example?"

If it was for the convenience of controlling the servants in the mansion, what did Song Shiqiu have to be afraid of? Moreover, if a servant really wanted to betray his master, what impact would it have whether it was a living contract or a dead contract?

The moment a person decides to betray, he has already put everything else aside.

"Or do you not trust the newcomers, sir? But aren't the old people in the mansion also newcomers?" Both forms of contracts have their own advantages and disadvantages. There is no need to choose to sign a death contract imperceptibly. "What if someone with bad intentions promises to set them free as long as they can bring you down?"

"Sir, are you so sure that no one will be tempted?" Lin Jin looked at Song Shiqiu seriously. She could let Lianyi and the others leave the house, but if she wanted to release everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she still had to get Song Shiqiu's approval. If he didn't agree, she could only control the girls in her own yard.

Song Shiqiu looked at her steadily: "Do you really want to let them go? The maids in your yard treat you very well and do things properly. If you let them go, you may not be able to get such satisfactory maids in the future."

First it was the four girls who were looking for mian, and now the other maids who came to the mansion, and they don’t intend to keep any of them by their side.

"It's good enough for them to do their own things well. Whether they are satisfied or not depends on fate." Lin Jin did not say that these girls must leave. After all, some want to leave the mansion, and naturally some want to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion. "I just want to give them the right to make their own decisions. Only they themselves know how they want to live."

"How can you do this without someone close to you to serve you?"

"Why, I can't live without them? Besides, I still have so many sisters. I said, as long as they can do their jobs well, it's fine. As for whether I can meet someone as caring as Lianyi, it all depends on fate. If there is fate, it's naturally good. If not, then there is no fate. I don't live my life just to have close friends around me."

Lin Jin clasped his hands together, pleading in his eyes: "Sir, please think about it. There must be one person who does it first, so that others can be motivated, right? Sir, you are so important that you don't trust the maids and servants in your house, how can others be willing?"

"You really can say anything for them every time. I'm afraid that no matter what I say today, you can find a reason to refute me." Song Shiqiu had no way to deal with Lin Jin. She had her own ideas, and they were well-founded, and he couldn't find any other points at all.

Lin Jin chuckled: "Are you agreeing?"

"I'll think about it." Song Shiqiu was helpless. There was nothing to think about. There were simply too many things going on during this period of time. It was impossible to make a conclusion now. Mistakes are most likely to occur when you are busy. It would be easiest for someone to tamper with this kind of thing. "It would be better if you were an unreasonable person."

In this way, he could completely reject Lin Jin's request.

"If I were an unreasonable person, I wouldn't be myself. All my traits make up who I am today. If I lack any one of them, I wouldn't be me. So your idea is impossible. It's very likely that you, sir, would look down on me as I am now." Lin Jin looked at him with a smile on her face.

Song Shiqiu accompanied her to the academy and looked at the academy, which had changed a lot compared to a few months ago, especially the solar lights. He noticed it all, but did not ask anything. He just waited until Lin Jin was done with her work before asking her.

After Lin Jin arranged the affairs of the academy, she took Song Shiqiu to Song Shixia's new grave and placed the date paste cake in front of the tombstone: "This place is also a Feng Shui treasure land, and my brother said that this place will be full of spring flowers in the spring. Sister will definitely like it."

Song Shiqiu brushed off the snow on the tombstone: "Well, she will definitely like the place you picked for her."

"You make it sound like she likes this place because of me. This place is great, and we picked it very carefully." Lin Jin pouted in dissatisfaction, a little angry, "You actually want to bully me in front of Sister Shi Xia."

"Am I afraid of your sister Shi Xia?" Song Shiqiu said with a smile. Noticing the new tombstone, his smile faded. "The tombstone has also been changed?"

Previously, the tombstones of Song Shixia and Lin Jin were inscribed by him, but now it is written by Liu Zhengqing.

"Well, I originally wanted to use the original one, but later I found that the tombstone had a hole in it for some reason. My brother said it was unlucky, so he replaced it for Sister Shi Xia." Lin Jin was so angry that his liver ached when he thought that the other party might have hit the tombstone when digging the grave.

Song Shiqiu stroked the three words "Song Shixia" on it, anger surging in his eyes, but he still suppressed it: "That's fine, it's fine to change them all into new ones. Xia Xia likes to wear new clothes, so tombstones naturally like new ones too."

"Before, there was a rumor in the capital that Yin Fushu had come back from the dead. Now it's my turn. I'm always worried that my sister will be implicated in the end." Lin Jin placed the plum blossoms she had picked when she went up the mountain next to the jujube paste cake and cleaned up the thin snow. "Sir, perhaps you can follow Feng Yuan's lead. This matter is too coincidental. Feng Yuan must know something."

Perhaps Feng Yuan is also part of this.
