Chapter 438: Ren Yu'er's Careful Thoughts
Nowadays, the world is getting worse. Although laughing at the poor but not at prostitutes, who would be willing to be a young man for someone unless he had no choice? After all, once he becomes someone else's concubine, he will not only destroy his reputation but also his life!
Han Xiufeng didn't want to ruin Ren Yu'er's life, and he didn't want to be sorry for Qin'er, who was waiting for him to go back in his hometown in Ba County. He said slowly: "Yu'er, stop talking stupidly. You must be angry with your father. You don't want to be filial, so you came to Shanghai with Liang Liu and the others."
"Fourth Master, I..."
"Listen to me." Han Xiufeng stood up and sighed: "But then again, since you know all the things before, it is not appropriate to stay in Hai'an again. Even if others don't talk, you won't feel good. You can only blame Su Jueming, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't be like this."
The reason why Ren Yuer made up her mind was actually for the child in Yu Sangu's belly. Although she hated her father, she did not want the Ren family to be respected. Not only did she not want the Ren family to be respected, she even put all her hope of turning back on the half-brother who would be born in a few months.
Of course, it may also be the half-sister.
If Yu Sangu really helps her give birth to a half-sister in the future, it will be a relief for her. After all, she has done everything she has done, and she is worthy of her father and the ancestors of the Ren family. Thinking that her selfishness must not be hidden from Mr. Han, Ren Yuer was uneasy and lowered her head again.
As she expected, Han Xiufeng had guessed her little thoughts, but she didn't think she was scheming, but she secretly admired her. She even felt that she was very similar to her previous self, and she could give everything she could for her family and family.
Looking at her nervous and helpless look, Han Xiufeng felt a sense of sorrow, and she was silent for a moment, and then said, "You can be angry with your father, or you can use what he did during his lifetime as an excuse not to be filial to Hai'an, but have you ever thought that you can give up your favor and not be famous? Could it be that Han Xiufeng, I, can be frustrated?"
Ren Yuer was confused and subconsciously looked up at him.
Han Xiufeng stared at her and explained patiently: "Yu'er, for other officials, taking a concubine may not be a matter, but it is a huge thing for me! I remember that I had already mentioned to you that if you don't have your sister-in-law, you wouldn't have your brother. She almost lost her life to give birth to a baby for me. Do you think I can take a concubine outside with her on my back?"
Ren Yuer reacted and her cheeks suddenly became hot. She felt ashamed that she was a shameless woman and wanted to find a crack in the floor to get into it.
Han Xiufeng took a deep breath and said seriously and sincerely: "I have made a vow long ago that I will never take a concubine in this life, and even if I don't make this vow, I will not accept it. So you don't need to be a slander like this. We used to be brothers and sisters, but we will still be brothers and sisters in the future."
"Fourth brother, I'm sorry, I..."
"I don't have to say anything to my brother," Han Xiufeng smiled, signaling her to get up and continued, "You've come, don't go back, I'll be here to keep you mourning. When you meet a suitable young man, I'll make the decision for you and help your father marry you out in a grand manner."
"Fourth brother, I won't get married."
"Don't say stupid things anymore. I still have official duties here. Get up quickly and find a room upstairs to settle down first."
Ren Yuer suddenly remembered that there were many people waiting outside, and hurriedly wiped away the tears and got up. She knelt down and kowtowed, then she walked out with her bag on her back and said nothing.
Han Xiufeng did not rush to let Zhou Xingyuan and Liang Liu come in, but first dismantled the letter from Dean Gu to find out the whole story of Cuihua coming to Shanghai, and confirmed that Ren Yu'er and Cuihua were both acquainted with Yu Sangu not only knew and did not object, but also picked up the foreign fire, took out a match, and burned the letter to ashes, and then let Xiao Wuzi, who was guarding the door, call Liang Liu and Ji Dajier come in.
"Fourth Master, this is the list of brothers. I just spent my time on happiness and didn't take care of you."
"Lao Liu, I am now just a civil servant and no longer serve as a camp official. If you don't go back and just follow me like this, you will not be a senior official." Han Xiufeng took the roster and reminded him.
Liang Liu has already made a fool of himself once and will not make a second time. He kept reminding himself along the way that as long as he follows Mr. Han wholeheartedly, Mr. Han will definitely not treat him badly. Moreover, being a military officer these days is too dangerous, and he may one day be sent to fight against the bandits.
He looked back at the Ji brothers and bowed, "Fourth Master, as long as he can serve with you, I don't care whether he is an official!"
"Ji Da, Ji Er, where are you?"
"Second Master, we are willing to go with you even Sichuan. Do you think we still care whether we can be an official?"
"This is not a thing, you have to think about it!"
"We don't have to think that you are my great benefactor. If it weren't for your Xun Liu, the one who killed Qiandao, would have been at large. If it weren't for your sister's revenge, I wouldn't have been able to avenge you in this life."
Thinking that Ji Daji Er and Liang Liu were different, their brothers went to the yamen to work as archers to repay their kindness, Han Xiufeng nodded slightly, and while looking through the list, he asked, "Where are the other brothers?"
Before Ji Daji Er could speak, Liang Liu smiled and said, "Second Master, stop asking, we are all yours. If you weren't there, we wouldn't be what we are today. As long as you do with you, you can do anything."
"But there are not so many people around me." Han Xiufeng put down the list and looked up at them and said, "I thought the army would attack the city when they arrived, but Lord Xu and his friends found that Shanghai City was high and thick, and they planned to prepare first. They would not start fighting until next month at the earliest. They were preparing, and the chaos in the city would prepare. I guess this city is not that easy to attack."
"Second Master, are you worried that Lord Xu will let us go?"
"Not now, but it's hard to say that you can't catch it for a long time, and the losses are heavy, so it's not a good thing to keep you all around."
"What should we do? We've all come here, so we can't just go back like that!"
"Fourth Master, before we came, we swear to Lord Guo, we will follow you wherever you go, and we will never let you take risks alone!"
"Why are you anxious? Listen to me." Thinking of what Zhou Xingyuan said just now, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile: "You are really not as good as you come sooner. Mr. Zhou is now not only acting as the county magistrate of Shanghai, but also ordered Lord Peng of the Jiangnan Daying General Grain Station to set up a silk tea bureau and start two silk tea donations. No one naturally can't set up a card to draw a lottery, so you can listen to it first under Mr. Zhou."
Thinking that setting up a card and collecting taxes is just as fat as collecting taxes, Liang Liu couldn't help but smile and said, "Second Master, we will follow your instructions in everything."
"Okay, Ji Er, you pick twenty people to stay. First, make a few days of tax difference in Jiang Customs. It is said that the tax difference is taxable and there is no tax to be collected. You don't have to go anywhere. Just like Big Head, just listen to me. Lao Liu, Ji Er and you will take the rest of the people with Mr. Zhou to start a donation. But there is a saying that I have to say in the front. You can take as much as the work and food and silver as Mr. Zhou gives. You can't take any penny that you shouldn't take, and you can't blackmail, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."
"Fourth Master, don't worry, we are yours. Even if you beat him to death, you will not ruin your reputation and cause trouble for you outside."
