Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 108 Brother and Sister
There are two main sources of official slaves, sinners and prisoners of war, which can be bought and sold.This is Yue Che, Wei Jia thought about it carefully. Uncle Cheng did mention that there was such a person, but Wei Jia refuted it. Unexpectedly, he dared to escape by himself. Logically, this kind of official slave should be executed. If Xie Jiu hadn't come forward, this girl might have been arrested and executed long ago.

Wei Chi pondered, and asked Xie Jiu: "Have you asked me?"

"I've asked, and I asked Uncle Cheng to give the brothers and sisters a hundred coins to let them leave."

Wei Chi stroked his forehead with his hand and sighed, "They didn't leave, did they?"

Xie Jiu gave a "hmm" with an innocent expression, and said, "I don't want to cause trouble for the family because of them. I asked Cheng Ming to find out that their father was guilty for a reason, and there was no grievance. The mother died of illness. The remaining two brothers and sisters were punished as slaves, and a year ago, Li'er went to the Jiaofang Division because of her outstanding looks."

Wei Jia smiled, took Xie Jiu into his arms, and said: "Your intention is correct, but, just think about it, the brother and sister have suffered so much, and now they finally have a place to live, and we are like this An easy-going and kind person... Don't laugh, it's a fact! We two are human beings, and being slaves in our house is better than two people going out to beg for a living. Judging by the appearance of the brothers and sisters, I'm afraid they can't do any heavy work, and they are small , It’s dangerous to go out with so much money.”

Xie Jiu laughed suddenly, pushed Wei Jia, and said, "Then you go to Yue Che and talk to him, whether you want to take in their brothers and sisters or not, that's up to you."

"Oh!"

After Wei Jia agreed, looking at Xie Jiu's smile, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while. He got up the next day and went to talk to the Yue brothers and sisters. Before stepping out of the door, Wei Jia had an idea In a flash, he shouted to the bedroom unwillingly: "Ma'am, you are not kind, dig a hole for me to jump in!"

Unwilling to shout out, Wei Jia stepped into the air, staggered, and almost fell down. Fortunately, this guy reacted quickly and supported it with his hands, with a regretful expression on his face.

Negligence, ignorance, Xie Jiu is obviously soft-hearted and wants to take in the little brother and sister. He has already found out the life experience of the little brother and sister, but because Wei Jia has vetoed it before, he is afraid that he will object, so he actually retreats and makes Wei Jia willing to take in the family. ,insidious!Ya too insidious!
Wei Jia wanted to go back to the bedroom to settle the accounts, but Xie Jiu sent Zhaodi Xiaoluoli to block the drive. Zhaodi said that the wife still needs to sleep, and asked the young master to deal with the Li'er brothers and sisters quickly and wait for him to make a decision. .

Wei Chi is depressed, blocked, too blocked, not ordinary blocked, quite blocked!He treats Xie Jiu so sincerely, how can Xie Jiu dig a hole for him to dance in!It's not kind, it's too dark.Wei Jia was deceived by Xie Jiu's gentle appearance during this period, and for a moment forgot the lethality of this girl, the lesson of blood.

Cursing all the way, he went to the main hall and asked someone to call Li'er brothers and sisters up.Ever since Xie Jiu came back from the palace, Li'er has never been allowed to enter the backyard, nor has Xie Jiu asked her to serve her.

Wei Chi sat in a high position, looked at the younger brothers and sisters standing below, and took a closer look. Yue Che was only short. In terms of age, he should be thirteen or fourteen years old. There were signs of precocity between his brows, and his eyes were calm.Li'er was different from her usual quiet and precocious appearance. She stood timidly behind her brother, tugged at the hem of her brother's clothes, lowered her head, and occasionally glanced at Wei Jia secretly, with an uneasy expression.

Wei Chi looked at it silently for a while, and asked, "Yue Che, right? Why don't you want to leave? You think one hundred guan is too little? According to my opinion, it's enough for you brothers and sisters to go to the countryside to buy two acres of land."

It is rare for this child, Yue Che, not to be afraid of Wei Chi's condescension, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "In order to repay Madam's great kindness. My sister Li'er's injury was healed by Madam, and my sin was also committed by Madam." I excused myself, Madam returned the contract to us, my mother taught me that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring."

Wei Chi raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, and continued to ask: "What do you think of your father's sin?"

Yue Che said: "The son does not speak of the father's faults, so I cannot comment."

"Why did you escape? And why did you escape to my house?"

Wei Chi's question caused the precocious boy to show fear in his eyes and his eyes turned red, but he still held back and said, "It's not a place for people to live, it's hell. I want to be a human being, not a walking dead, or someone else. Li'er and I just want to live a life where we don't get beaten or played with wantonly, and we don't mind being slaves or handmaids."

Li'er was behind, on the verge of weeping, obviously feeling sorry for her brother's words.Wei Jia refused to soften his heart, and continued: "As long as you are still a slave for a day, you may be beaten. Only when you break away from the status of a slave, can you not be beaten and scolded. Let's go, take the hundred guan for you, and leave Weifu."

The young man raised his head and looked directly at Wei Jia, with the eyes and expression of a little wolf. Wei Jia's expression did not change, and he stared at the young man unhappily for a moment, expressing his determination.

The young man finally bowed his head, knelt down, and said in a sad tone that didn't match his age at all: "I beg the young master to take our brothers and sisters in. The brothers and sisters in the house have said about the mercy of the young master and his wife. Li'er and I just want to Find a place to live, we just want to survive, we will never cause trouble for the young master and madam, if we do anything wrong, the young master and madam can punish us, we really have no other intentions, just want to repay madam , just want to live. Please, take us in!"

Pulling Li'er to kneel and kowtow together, Wei Jia stared at them blankly, for a long time, sighed, and said: "Okay, I promise you to stay, the past will be over, change your name, from now on, follow My surname is Wei, and the Yue family no longer exists. Do you understand?"

"Thank you, young master! Wei Che understands."
