The two carriages walked one behind the other towards the inn. Ouyang Lan took her sons Li Yu and Li Zhentian into the first carriage, while Feng took her two children into the second carriage.
Ouyang Lan said: "Why go to such trouble and have to take the three of them back to the inn to see the people from Zuichunlou return the money."
Li Zhentian looked at Ouyang Lan with a half-smile and said, "Are you really happy to let them go like this?"
Ouyang Lan was silent, and Li Zhentian turned to his son Li Yu and said, "Yu'er, do you want them to leave?"
Li Yu responded without thinking: "No!"
"Okay!" Li Zhentian picked up his son and put him on his lap.
Ouyang Lan said: "But we can't force them to stay."
Li Zhentian leaned closer to Ouyang Lan and said, "Lan'er, let me ask you first, based on what I know in the past few days, where will the three Feng family members go after they leave us?"
Ouyang Lan thought for a while and said, "Ms. Feng may go looking for her husband."
"Then the second question, where is her husband?"
Ouyang Lan couldn't answer, so she could only look at Li Zhentian intently. Li Zhentian added: "Even if they know roughly where her husband is, do they have the money to go there? As you saw just now, they don't have many relatives or friends. Even a penny is nothing for them. They really have money to find him." Her husband?"
Ouyang Lan seemed to understand what Li Zhentian said, and said suddenly: "Yes. Let's take them back to the inn, give them some money and then let them go!"
Li Zhentian looked at Ouyang Lan with a surprised look on his face and said slowly: "Why do you think so? If it hadn't been for this time, she would have been helpless and would never have let us help. After Yu'er helped her, she even Regardless of her own life, she wanted to save Yu'er. It can be seen that she is also a person who repays her kindness and is unwilling to owe others. Moreover, through the contact over the past few days, I can see that this Feng is also a stubborn woman. I won’t accept your offer of payment.”
Ouyang Lan seemed to have not expressed her thoughts about her husband, so she whispered: "Then what do you mean?"
Li Zhentian shrugged and said, "I won't go around with you anymore, I'll just tell you directly. You want Feng's daughter to stay, right?"
Ouyang Lan replied honestly, "Yes."
"Feng, mother and son now have nowhere to go and are penniless. Why don't we say that we are short of people at home and ask them to come back to Luoyang with us and find them a job at home."
"But, are we taking advantage of others' danger?"
"My Lan'er, you are just too kind-hearted. How do you know that the three of them are not willing to stay?"
"What's the meaning?"
"They will definitely not propose to stay on their own. So, we have to talk about this."
After listening to Li Zhentian's analysis, Ouyang Lan said excitedly: "In other words, you can make them stay."
Li Zhentian said confidently: "You can give it a try."
When Ouyang Lan heard what Li Zhentian said, she happily put her arms around Li Zhentian's shoulders and kissed him on the face, "I knew you were the best."
Li Zhentian was very happy to be kissed by Ouyang Lan, but he still said seriously: "There is still someone else."
Jian Xin, who was sitting opposite, said nonchalantly: "It's okay. Just pretend I'm not here. Anyway, I haven't known anything about you two since you were little."
Ouyang Lan reached over and took Jian Xin's hand and said, "How about you are my good sister! Hehe!"
Jian Xin said: "Then you should be nice to me."
Ouyang Lan said: "Why am I not treating you well? Otherwise, I will let Yu'er recognize you as my godmother!" He said to Li Yu: "Yu'er, kneel down and call me your godmother!"
Li Yu jumped off Li Zhentian's lap obediently. When he was about to kneel down, Jian Xin stopped him and said, "You silly boy! Your mother is just joking."
Li Yu scratched his head, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Ouyang Lan smiled and said, "I'm not kidding."
"Okay, you're on the carriage now. You just asked me to be his godmother informally, how dare you ignore me!"
Ouyang Lan stood up and sat next to Jian Xin, hugging Jian Xin's waist, "We have been in a relationship for decades! My son is your son!"
"How young are we? We've only been together for decades!" Jian Xin said with a look of disgust.
Ouyang Lan looked at her husband and son and said playfully: "I don't care, we will be together forever in the future. Yes, there is also the horse driver outside."
Li Zhentian was in the car, which was absolutely safe, so Zhao Shu, who was driving the horse outside, was focused on the carriage and the carriage. I just vaguely heard the words "horse driver" coming from the car, so I shouted to the car: "Are you calling me?"
Jian Xin pinched Ouyang Lan's waist. Ouyang Lan endured the pain and shouted outside the car: "It's okay, it's okay. You drive the carriage well."
Arriving at the door of the inn, Li Zhentian and his party got off the carriage. Li Zhentian looked at the sky outside. It was almost noon, so he walked into the inn, planning to find the waiter to prepare some food and drinks. Xiao Du had a sharp eye and immediately came over and said, "Uncle Li, you are back."
"Yes. Go and prepare some food and drinks."
"Okay. I'll prepare it for you right away."
Li Zhentian took a group of people to find a larger table and sat down.
Feng was a little uncomfortable and said, "Mr. Li, I won't eat. When I see them bring you the money, we will leave."
Li Zhentian said: "It's just a light meal. Just wait until you are full. Even if you are not hungry, the two children still need to eat something before leaving."
Feng didn't want to accept the other's love anymore, but looking at the two children, she had no choice but to accept it.
Afterwards, several delicious meals were put on the table, and everyone started eating.
Li Zhentian said to Feng, "I wonder what your plans are?"
Feng sighed and said, "I plan to find the child's father. For so many years, I don't know whether he is alive or dead."
Li Zhentian nodded, "Yes, you are a woman, raising two children alone is indeed a thorny journey. Then do you know where your husband is now."
Feng shook his head. "At that time, he went out to look for work with several people in the village, and he never told me where he was going. In the following years, there was no news about those people who were with him."
Li Zhentian said: "Don't blame me for talking too much. You don't know where your husband is now, and if my guess is right, you must be short of money now. Right."
When Li Zhentian said this, Feng looked at the two children eating with some shame and murmured: "Maybe, this is our fate."
Li Zhentian pulled Ouyang Lan's clothes under the table with his hand. After Ouyang Lan felt it, he hurriedly said: "Well, I have an idea. I happen to be short of a worker at home. I see you are in high spirits, why don't you start first?" Let's start with us. First, you can earn some money, and secondly, when your children grow up, it will be much easier for you to go out and do things."
After hearing this, Ms. Feng refused and said: "How is this possible? Madam, if you can use us, just say so. How can I be embarrassed to ask for money or anything like that?"
Ouyang Lan said: "One code equals one code. Although we are kind to you, I do need an honest person to work. You don't know, but our family is a bit of a servant. That cheating There are many people who are slippery and shirk the heavy ones. I think you are a hard-working person and you must be agile in doing things. So, I want you to follow us to Luoyang, where you can recuperate for a few years, earn some money, and go find a child. 's father."
Feng hesitated a little and said, "Madam, don't be ridiculous. I am a farmer and clumsy at work, and I will not serve you ladies and gentlemen."
Ouyang Lan was a little frustrated and thought to herself: Zhentian, what did you just say? Ask others to stay, but they won’t stay either.
Feng then added: "However, my daughter is still young and can be easily disciplined. If the master and his wife don't dislike it, she can be allowed to serve the master and his wife."
This touched Ouyang Lan's mind, and she stood up without thinking and said, "Okay!"
Feng was a little surprised when she looked at Ouyang Lan who suddenly stood up.
Ouyang Lan smiled awkwardly, sat down again, and said, "Ahem. I think that little girl is smart and meticulous in her work. She is indeed a good person."
Feng waved her hand to her daughter. At this time, Xiaolan was holding dishes for her younger brother. When she saw her mother greeting her, she got up and walked over.
Feng said to her daughter: "Thanks to Mr. Li, Mrs. Li thinks highly of you. She wants you to be a servant in their house. You must serve her wholeheartedly from now on, you know!"
Xiaolan nodded and said, "Okay." Then she asked, "What about you, mother?"
In fact, after what happened this time, Mrs. Feng planned to find a good family and send her children away. Not to mention being rich and powerful, at least I have food to eat and don’t have to suffer on my own. If you have free time in the future, you can go and see your children. She knew that Mrs. Li and Mr. Li were kind-hearted people and would not treat her daughter badly, so she found a good place for her daughter.
"Mother, what mother said is her plan..." Feng was hesitant to tell her her thoughts now.
Li Zhentian saw that Feng had something to hide and said, "Your mother is going to Luoyang with us. Just now your mother said that she is a farmer. After we return to Luoyang together, I will find friends to rent some fields for you, so that your mother can live on the land." . When the time comes, all you have to do is pay your taxes on time. Besides, you three can still see each other often. Right, Mrs. Feng."
After hearing this, Xiaolan showed a bright smile that she had never seen before, bowed repeatedly and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Li and Mrs. Ouyang."
Feng didn't expect that Li Zhentian would make such an arrangement. She looked at Li Zhentian in shock and said slightly: "Yes. This is the arrangement."
Ouyang Lan said: "Okay. Then Xiaolan, you will be a member of Yinlong Villa from now on. You will follow Jianxin and let her lead you in doing things according to the rules."
Xiaolan said sincerely: "Okay!"
Ouyang Lan said: "Is your name Xiaolan?"
Xiaolan said: "Yes. Fang Xiaolan."
Ouyang Lan put on a slightly disgusted expression and said: "It's okay to use a small character in your nickname. It's easy to say. It's a little inappropriate to use a small character in your nickname. I'll change it for you."
Li Zhentian said: "How about changing it to Xiaoyue, which is known to everyone, just like Brother Liu's family's Xiaoyue."
Ouyang Lan shook her head and said, "I'm not like them!" Ouyang Lan thought for a while and said, "We met after Ye Mu, so let's change your name to Mu Lan and call her Mu Lan. .Fang Mulan."
"OK."
At this time, there was a sound of knocking outside the door, and he stopped outside the door of Ke Inn. They were dressed in bright colors and had neat ceremonials. The leader walked into the inn and asked the shopkeeper, "Honeykeeper, is Mr. Li Zhentian and Mr. Li the owner here?"
