Chapter 364 This Child Is Not Simple
"Second Brother Feng, please stay." Shen Wan thought for a moment and said.
Upon hearing this, Feng Er was surprised.
He knew that this woman was very good to him.
But he never expected that she would choose him among more than a hundred people.
The frail women and young children in the team seemed to need help more than himself.
"Brother Feng is not in good health, so you can stay here and take care of him." Shen Wan said lightly.
The Dog Emperor pardoned several families who had gone with Shen Wan to the east of the city to control the epidemic, and Feng Da was among them.
He was not a fugitive, so naturally he didn't need to go to the quarry.
However, ever since the death of his eldest lady, he has been in a trance and really needs someone to take care of him.
The convicts had no objection to this, after all, Feng Da was really too pitiful.
My wife finally got pregnant, but in the end, one of them died and two others died.
After hearing this, Feng Er subconsciously glanced at Xie Murong.
Xie Murong naturally hoped that he would stay.
But she didn't say anything, just lowered her head.
Feng Er looked at it and nodded.
He never cared about Feng Da's life or death. After all, the relationship between them as brothers was too weak.
But Xie Murong is different.
She was not as smart and pretty as Chen Wan, nor as gentle and virtuous as Da Niuniang, but he just liked her for no reason.
He wants to stay.
Take care of her, protect her, even if it's just to look at her from a distance.
Seeing Feng Er nod, Chu Wei smiled faintly: "Since the princess has already chosen someone, then I will take the others away first."
"If there is anything else you need, please send someone to the county government office to inform me."
Shen Wan nodded.
Chu Wei didn't bother to be polite anymore and took all the more than one hundred prisoners away.
Suddenly, the originally bustling inn became much emptier.
I have to say, this winter is really cold.
Before we knew it, white snowflakes were falling again, and even the water tank in the kitchen was covered with a thick layer of ice.
Every time she cooks, Ranqiu has to use a hammer to break the ice.
Later, whenever they heard the "bang bang" sound of breaking the ice, Erbao and Da Nv knew that it was time for dinner again.
Shen Wan thought about it, and then borrowed Qin Chu's name to "transport" a large amount of coal for herself.
There are too many things in the space. Now that she is in Lanyang, it is time for her to clean up the inventory.
After the coal arrived, Shen Wan asked Black Hawk to purchase some stoves, one for each household, and the largest one was placed in the hall.
The older girl sat in front of the stove, warming her hands and excitedly saying, "My sister is amazing. She was able to get so much coal."
"That's my Fifth Aunt!" Erbao expressed his dissatisfaction and retorted, "Fifth Aunt is awesome, and so is Fifth Uncle."
"Look at those windproof tarpaulins tacked outside the windows. They were all made by Uncle Fifth and Uncle Second Feng."
The windows of the post station were so broken that they leaked when it was windy and leaked when it snowed.
So Xie Mubai asked Shen Wan for some oilcloth and nailed it outside the window with Feng Er.
This way you can put it down when it snows to keep out the wind and keep warm, and then open it again when the weather is clear.
As a result, the room became much warmer.
Seeing the two little ones fighting for Shen Wan here, Li's pretty face, which was illuminated by the fire, showed a happy smile.
Although life in Lanyang is hard, it would be nice if it could continue like this.
At this time, Shen Wan brought over a large copper pot.
"Young Madam, what are you doing?" Li looked at it and asked in surprise.
Shen Wan smiled and said, “The weather is too cold, let’s eat hot pot here today.”
When they heard that there was hotpot to eat, the two little ones jumped up excitedly.
"Great, we have hotpot to eat!" The big girl clapped her hands and laughed happily, "I'll go tell my second uncle right away. He loves hotpot the most."
Shen Wan smiled and said, “No, he will be back soon.”
"It's too cold outside, you'd better stay indoors and don't go out."
The big girl still listens to Shen Wan's words very much.
She didn't go out, but just stood aside with Erbao, watching Shen Wan preparing meat dishes there.
Although Xie Mubai was good at knife skills, he was currently working with Feng Er to nail the oilcloth on the window.
So the job of cutting meat naturally fell to Shen Wan.
Ranqiu’s cooking skills are good, but his knife skills are still a little lacking.
After all, she came from a poor family and had rarely eaten meat when she was with her parents, so her knife skills were naturally not very good.
Seeing Shen Wan busy cutting meat, she washed the vegetables with the big girl who had just come over.
Soon, a table full of meat and dishes was prepared.
"Why is it so rich?" At this time, Hu Dahai walked in covered in snow.
Shen Wan smiled and said, "It's cold and we can't do much work, so I wanted to make some food for everyone to nourish them."
"By the way, have you finished your business?"
Hu Dahai nodded.
He glanced at Li and said with a smile, "The letter has been sent. Now we just have to wait for a reply from the capital."
"Will they agree that you don't want to be an official?" Li frowned slightly and asked worriedly.
Hu Dahai smiled and said, "Why don't you agree to this?"
"They wouldn't take a lowly official seriously."
"By the way, I just went to the county government office and saw someone selling sesame candy on the roadside, so I bought some for you."
He smiled and handed over a bag of sesame candy.
Li's face turned red.
This was the first time in her life that a member of the opposite sex had given her candy.
Xie Silang is not a bad person, but he is not so thoughtful and will not give her a gift.
"I'm already an adult, and you still buy me candy." Li blushed and said shyly.
Upon hearing this, Dabao appeared out of nowhere.
"If you don't eat it, I will!" He immediately rushed forward and stretched out his dirty little hands to grab it.
Hu Dahai's face darkened, and he pushed him away, his voice cold and terrifying; "Just try and see if you dare to move!"
Dabao is most afraid of Hu Dahai.
Along the way, Zhao was whipped by him many times.
Seeing that he was angry, Dabao was scared and started crying loudly.
"Get out of here!" Hu Dahai was upset by his crying and said angrily, "Otherwise I'll beat you to death!"
Upon hearing this, Dabao was so scared that he ran away.
"Don't be like this." Seeing Dabao's frightened look, Li scolded, "He's still a child."
"What's wrong with the child?" Before Hu Dahai could speak, Shen Wan spoke first, "You've seen how vicious Dabao has been along the way."
"Although Zhao Shi was not a good person, she still loved her only son very much."
"But look at Dabao. After hearing about Zhao's death, he didn't even shed a tear, as if the incident had nothing to do with him at all."
"I always feel that this child is not simple!"
Everyone can see Dabao's coldness.
The Li family is no exception.
But if she doesn't care about Dabao, is she just going to watch him starve to death?
"Sister, you're right. Dabao is such a vicious kid." Da Niu's mother washed her hands and said calmly, "How can a child who remains indifferent after learning of his mother's death be considered an ordinary person?"
"If this child is well educated, it's fine. If not, he might become a treacherous official who brings disaster to the country and the people!"
Will Dabao become a treacherous minister?
Erbao and Da Niu didn't believe it.
That stupid and dumb guy has no qualifications to be a minister. He is almost qualified to be a big turtle.
Shen Wan glanced at Li and did not continue the topic.
"Erbao, go call your Fifth Uncle and Second Uncle Feng." She said with a smile, "The meal is ready, only these two are missing."
"Who said that?" Ran Qiu suddenly laughed.
