Luo Lan was stunned by Xiao Zhiniang's words. She was just being polite. How could she really be in trouble?
However, she still responded happily:
"Let's talk about something. I have a destiny with this kid Xiaozhi. As long as I can help, I will do my best to help."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhiniang hurriedly said to Xiao Zhi:
"Kneel down quickly, Princess."
When Xiaozhi heard this, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed his head.
Luo Lan looked at Xiao Zhi out of reach of the monk Zhang Er, then raised his head to look at Xiao Zhiniang, and asked with some displeasure:
"What are you doing? Why are you always kneeling and kneeling? Can't you just talk to me if you have something to say?"
As a woman of the new era, she really doesn't like others kneeling in front of her, and she even feels guilty.
Xiao Zhi Niang then helped Xiao Zhi up, leaned over and said:
"Princess, I made an agreement with Xiaozhi when I came here. Anyway, we, mother and son, have nothing to do. We want to stay with the princess. We want to repay the princess for saving her life. We can work. We don't want anything. We just need to give We only need one meal to eat, I can wash and rinse, Xiaozhi can clean, we won’t just have a free meal.”
Xiao Zhiniang's words made Luo Lan stunned for a while. Why did she promise her body? It has become a problem to raise these servants in her palace. Where is the need for manpower?
Seeing her thinking, Xiaozhi took her hand, raised his head and prayed:
"Sister, please, we really won't cause you any trouble. I can work, I can chop wood, I can also carry water... Just let us stay!"
Looking at this childish little face, Luo Lan couldn't bear to refuse him. She raised her head and said solemnly to Xiao Zhiniang:
"If you need a job, I can let you stay. If you just want to repay a favor, then please leave. I don't like forcing others, and I don't like others putting pressure on me in this way."
"no no."
Seeing that her voice became harsh, Xiao Zhi Niang quickly shook her head, "Our house is rented. Yesterday the landlord came to ask for rent. I gave him all the money. Now Xiao Zhi and I are desperate and have no home." We’re back, I hope the princess will take us in.”
After saying that, she was about to kneel down again. Luo Lan quickly supported her and said harshly:
"You should have said so, but if you want to stay here, you can't do this great ceremony. None of my servants would like it."
When Xiao Zhiniang heard this, she nodded hurriedly and said:
"We remember it. Thanks to the princess for taking us in. Xiaozhi and I can work. We can do whatever you ask us to do."
When it came to work, Luo Lan squinted and thought for a while, then said to Xiao Zhiniang:
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Liu Mei."
Liu Mei, this name is quite unique.
She asked again, "I heard that you can read?"
Liu Mei pondered for a while, pursed her lips and nodded, "I know a little bit."
"It seems that your family background is very prominent. As far as I know, there are not many literate women in this era, especially those of your age."
Liu Mei raised her eyes and looked at her, bit her lips and whispered softly:
"Princess, I don't want to mention my family, please understand, Princess, but I am definitely not a bad person, I am a good person."
Seeing her nervous look, Luo Lan pursed her lips and smiled.
"It's okay. Everyone has things they don't want to mention. Since you can read, then try to work as a bookkeeper in my medical clinic. Although I don't have any patients yet, I will soon."
Hearing this, Liu Mei was stunned for a moment, then nodded with tears in her eyes,
"Princess, are you really willing to leave such a light job to me?"
"This job is not easy." Luo Lan blinked at her, "This job is tiring and the average person can't do it."
"My mother is not afraid of being tired."
Xiaozhi hurriedly said:
"My mother told me that she learned from the accountant when she was at her mother's house."
"Small blog."
Liu Mei interrupted him, and then said to Luo Lan:
"It's okay not to mention the past things, but it's really not difficult for me to do the accounting. If the princess trusts her, I will definitely do it well."
What Luo Lan lacks most now is such talents. There are not many literate servants in her palace, and it is really not worthwhile to hire an accountant.
She said to Xiaozhi again:
"As for you, you don't have to chop firewood or carry water. You can just be my little follower. Of course, you can't forget to study hard with your mother. When you get the first prize in the exam, you will have to pay me back. You Here’s my mother’s consultation fee.”
Hearing this, Xiaozhi stared at his big eyes and nodded heavily,
"Don't worry, sister. Xiaozhi will definitely get the top prize and will repay her a hundred times."
Liu Mei couldn't help lowering her head and scolding:
"Don't call me sister, call me princess."
Xiaozhi said oh, and just when he was about to change his words, Luo Lan rubbed his little head and shook his head, "Just call me sister, I like Xiaozhi to be called like that."
Xiaozhi then grinned, showing a row of white teeth, which looked very cute.
After lunch, there were no patients in the front hall, so Luo Lan simply kneaded Leng Yu's calves.
She said softly to him with some excitement:
"You know? That kid Xiaozhi is very cute. When you feel better, I'll ask him to come see you. You will definitely like him."
"Need not."
Leng Yu shook his head coldly and refused, "Don't scare other people's children anymore with my ghost look. If I can't stand up, I won't see anyone except you."
Luo Lan did not blame him, but said softly:
"You are just too concerned with saving face, but that's fine. When everyone sees an unparalleled handsome guy standing in front of me in the future, their eyes will definitely light up, and they will definitely be envious and jealous."
Speaking of this, she looked at him with half-squinted eyes, "You said at that time, if a woman likes you, will you leave me?"
Hearing her question, he pouted, turned his head to one side, and muttered,
"You're asking this out of spite."
Seeing that he was avoiding the answer, Luo Lan was also a little unhappy.
"Why are you so careless? It would be better if you answered directly."
He suddenly turned to look at her and shouted:
"I, Leng Yu, if I dare to like a woman other than Lan'er, then let me endure the punishment of being quartered on five horses, making my life worse than death, and having hundreds of millions of nails driven into my legs..."
"OK OK."
Luo Lan heard the poisonous oath he swore and thought of the cruel look on his leg when nails were driven into it, and her whole body began to tremble.
She hurriedly covered his lips with her hands and blamed him softly:
"Don't make such vicious oaths in the future, I believe you."
Leng Yu's face looked much better now.
At this moment, A Cai came and called the door.
"Princess, a patient is here, a patient is here."
Hearing this, Luo Lan was a little excited. A patient was coming. This was the first patient since the opening of her medical clinic.
She responded hurriedly, "I know, I'll be right away."
After replying, she covered Leng Yu with the quilt, then put the hand warmer in his hand and whispered to him:
"Ms., I have a patient. I can make money to support you."
After saying this, she didn't forget to kiss him on the lips, and then left quickly.
Listening to her footsteps leaving in a hurry, and feeling the lip marks she had just kissed, Leng Yu raised his hand and stroked his own lips, pursed his lips and smiled.
This woman is sometimes as naughty as a child, sometimes as calm as a lady, and sometimes like a mature and heavy man. He really can't see through her.
However, he knew that he fell in love with this feeling, just like ordinary people living their lives. The past was nothing, and the previous scenery was not worth mentioning. As long as this woman could stay by his side, then enough.
