Xie Xuan suddenly stopped and looked at her with eyes that were as black as ink, "Also? "Who told you to make a man look good?"

"Eh …"

Wen Jiu paused for a moment.

She was just asking casually, but Third Young Master suddenly became so serious, causing her to not know how to answer.

Xie Xuan continued: "I remember you saying you can't read too many words, but now you can only sigh at the pain of ten thousand years, and can even read ten thousand books?"

Wen Jiu facepalmed, "... Third Brother, can we ask any questions and answer them? "

Didn't you give her time to read two more books?

Xie Xuan replied: "No."

Wen Jiu, "..."

Can't you just pretend I didn't ask anything?

She silently walked two steps away from Xie Xuan, leaning against the wall. She no longer hoped that Third Young Master would be able to resolve her doubts, and only thought that it would be better to talk less with someone who was born with the ability to break through a thousand layers of mist.

When they reached the end of the alleyway, Xie Xuan, who had been calm for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and said: "I don't want to."

"What?"

Wen Jiu didn't react at all, and looked at the youth in front of him in a daze.

There was actually a person who didn't want to be a superior? This was truly strange!

"So what if you are? They are both mayflies in the world, born in October, and their heads are white. " Xie Xuan's expression was extremely calm, as he lowered his eyes to look at her: "After death, everything will be useless, what's the use of it?"

Wen Jiu thought about it for a moment, and suddenly felt that what Third Young Master said made sense.

However, this youth was only seventeen years old and had already taken everything so lightly. He had always lost some of his youthful nature.

After some deliberation, she opened her mouth and said, "This is the truth. But if you can't even eat your fill and don't wear warm clothes, how will you survive until your hair turns white? "

Xie Xuan looked at her without saying a word.

Third Brother, look." I took a hundred taels today and brought a dozen people out of the dealer's hands. "There are so many people in the world. As a merchant, no matter how much silver I have, I can only help a hundred people, or at most a few thousand. But how can there be so many people among the great masses?

Wen Jiu continued: "Most of the time, their life and death will be decided with a single thought from the politicians in the imperial court. "Some people want to become great for the sake of their own glory, while others want to become wise for the sake of the world."

Xie Xuan entering society was something that would definitely happen.

The only thing she could do was to try her best to let this young man come into contact with as many positive things as possible, so as to avoid the same cold and gloomy feeling as her previous life.

Don't open your eyes, "The world is bright. Which play's new words did you hear from? "

Wen Jiu was speechless, "..."

With her little bit of eloquence, she shouldn't have made a fool out of herself in front of Third Young Master!

When it was dark, Wen Jiu went back to his residence and had someone bring a lot of books to his courtyard.

Just as he entered, Jin Er came out to welcome him, "Young Madame, they are all waiting for you."

Wen Jiu waved his sleeves and walked in, "Is the general back yet?"

"Not yet." Jin Er said: "Third Young Master is here, but he went to read his book the moment he returned, it's not good for us to disturb him …"

These words sounded extremely guilty.

Even if they did, they would not dare disturb Xie Xuan. Although the Third Young Master was silent, but their way of doing things made their hearts tremble.

Wen Jiu understood this as he walked to the front of the court. The dozen or so people that he had brought with him from the Qian Jin had already been tidied up and put on clean clothes. The moment they saw her, they all kneeled down and saluted: "Paying respects to Young Madame!"

"What are you kneeling for? There are not that many rules in General's Mansion, so there's no need to be so slow to make people kneel. "

Wen Jiu supported an old lady who was standing closest to her. The eyes of the people behind all reddened, and each of them lifted their sleeves to wipe their eyes, showing no intention to stand up.

She smiled helplessly and said, "I only have a pair of hands. If everyone here has to be supported by me, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold the chopsticks while I eat."

A few of the attendant's maids in the mansion could not help but laugh, as could the elderly and children who were covered in tears.

Shiquan stepped forward and said: "Young Madame, today there are a total of thirteen people who were exchanged with thousands of gold, five of them are older, the eight of them are children and young adults, the youngest is eight years old, the oldest is sixteen. Third Young Master has already instructed this junior to prepare the registration list. Please take a look. "

"Alright."

Wen Jiu looked over, only to realise that out of the thirteen people, there were only twelve people's names.

Shiquan said in a low voice, "This young lady said she doesn't know her name …"

Wen Jiu looked up. Among these eight people, there was only one girl and the rest were all men. He could not help but be stunned.

Could it be that Xie Family was destined to be filled with Yin?

She walked over and caressed the little girl's head. She gently asked, "What is your name?"

Eight years old.

Just like the Dragon and Phoenix Embryo on the Xie Family, they had encountered a calamity which had massacred the city and had s and their brothers protecting them. However, this little girl had been displaced for who knows how long, with a thin and pointed chin, leaving behind only skin and bones.

"I, I don't remember …" The little girl looked at her with her big watery eyes. She took out an old handkerchief from her bosom and embroidered on the bottom right corner was the word "Pearl", "The old granny who took me to beg with her said that this was something my mother had left for me. The words on it should be my name. Young Madame, can you teach me? "

"This is the 'Pearl' character, the pearl of the palm." Wen Jiu pinched Zhu'er's little face, "It's a very good name, worthy of Zhu'er's good looks."

Pearl looked up at her. "Really?"

Wen Jiu smiled at her, "Of course it's true."

She had seen countless beauties before, and with a single glance, she knew that this young lady would definitely turn into a slender and elegant beauty in the future.

However, he was still young and had lost his shape. Otherwise, he would have been sold by a trafficker.

"Shiquan." Wen Jiu ordered the person at his side, "Coincidentally, the new house that you bestowed to them just now has been opened, bring them to the courtyard to rest first, and eat and drink non-stop."

She thought to herself: There are more of these people in the manor, and it just so happens that they have more fresh air.

Hearing that, everyone could not help but say, "Young Madame, we can't just eat and not work!"

"Right, right!" "We are all people who can do things …"

The group of youngsters said in unison, "We can all work here."

These people were all used to suffering. Normally, when they were called around by someone, they would come to the General's Mansion but found everyone was kind. After a while, they became extremely uneasy.

"There's no rush." Wen Jiu could not help but laugh: "All of you should rest for two days first. Once your body is better, you can then help to raise flowers and grow grass."

"Alright, we will do whatever Young Madame says!"

Wen Jiu got Shiquan to bring everyone to rest, so Hongtang could not help but come over and say: "General has just left the city, and Young Madame has already brought so many people back, what if there is a spy inside?"
