"General, where are you going to wait for this servant? The servant knows that he is wrong, and he will definitely serve the fourth lady with all his heart in the future." Ning'er pulled Mo Jinran's sleeve, her eyes were full of pity, if a man with a soft heart , will definitely be softened by her appearance, but unfortunately, Mo Jinran is not soft-hearted, let alone a man who can pity and cherish jade.

Pulling out the sleeves that Ning'er was pulling, he looked at her coldly. "I knew today, why bother!"

Ning'er knelt down on the ground regardless of the people around her pointing and pointing. "General, please spare this servant!" Mo Jinran felt unhappy when he saw more and more people looking at them and pointing. "Ning'er, what are you doing? You are a servant of the Mo Mansion, and it is the general's right to buy and sell you. If you do this again, don't blame the general for being rude."

Mo Jinran bluffed, hating Ning'er like this to the extreme.Who is she pretending to be so pitiful at this time, Mrs. Ping was bullied by Yi Gan yesterday, as if what she said and what did she do?

"General, how can I say that the servants have been serving the fourth lady for several years, and there is hard work without credit."

"The general came here to sell you because of your hard work. Otherwise, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to sell you directly into a brothel, right?"

Ning'er was stunned when she heard the words, she didn't dare to argue any more, no matter what, she would still be a maidservant if she was sold here, the master is good, maybe there will be a day of marriage.If she is sold into a brothel, she will never be able to recover in this life.

Seeing that she was honest, Mo Jinran breathed a sigh of relief, and all the spectators dispersed.Mo Jinran and Leng Qing walked in front, and Ning'er followed slowly behind.

There is a part of this street dedicated to buying and selling people, and these are also allowed by the court. Mo Jinran didn't pay much attention to Ning'er who was behind him, and just walked to see if there were any suitable maids.

Many girls were around ten years old, and the young ones knelt there hoping someone would take them back. Judging by their clothes, they were all girls from poor families.

These people made Mo Jinran feel sad.At the same time living under a blue sky, the living environment is too different.

The Canfeng Dynasty is still a peaceful and prosperous world, but there are still some people who are suffering, and those small countries that are displaced are even more miserable?

Walking along the way, my mood became more and more depressed. In this era, there are no community service stations, no assistance centers for the disabled and the poor, so every winter, some people will freeze to death and some people will starve to death.Mo Jinran suddenly came up with the idea of ​​building such a place, maybe it could help many people.

Just as he was wandering, the girl who was kneeling there not far away shook twice before falling down.There was a sound of sighing around, and beside the girl was an old woman who was holding her in her arms and weeping.

A group of people gathered around to watch the fun, but no one was willing to help.The old woman cried and begged the onlookers. "I beg you, buy my granddaughter. Her parents left early, and we are the only two mothers left to depend on each other, but seeing the family has not opened the pot for a few days, the child really can't stand it, please I bought her, just give her something to eat and let her live. I don’t want half a copper coin for the old woman, and I won’t drag the child down in the future. I just ask you to give her a way to survive. Woo~”

Mo Jinran looked at the little girl, she looked about eleven or twelve years old, she was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, and her hair was as dry as a handful of straw due to long-term malnutrition.

Such a girl can't work if she buys it back and doesn't raise it for a while. No one wants to buy a sick child back.

Finally, Mo Jinran couldn't bear it and walked over. "Old man, let me buy your granddaughter!"

The old woman looked up at Mo Jinran with expectation in her eyes. "Young master, you are really willing to buy my granddaughter, thank you very much." After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Mo Jinran.Mo Jinran held her back: "Old man, don't hurt me like this, this is money for you, please keep it."

Mo Jinran took out an ingot of silver from his pocket, which was worth five taels. This five taels of silver was enough for the old lady to live frugally for a year or two.

The old woman couldn't believe it, she put the silver in her mouth and bit it, then smiled happily. "Thank you young master, thank you young master." After finishing speaking, he was about to put the silver into his bosom, but stopped after thinking about it.Very reluctantly, he handed the money back to Mo Jinran.

"Young master, this is too much money, I dare not accept it, you should take it back, as long as you treat my granddaughter better in the future, you will be Amitabha, you are a kind person, good intentions will be rewarded!"

Mo Jinran felt a little emotional in his heart. When the old woman was not full enough to eat and not warm enough to wear, she still had such immunity in the face of money, which showed that she was a simple person who really loved her granddaughter.Mo Jinran really couldn't bear such an old man living alone, so he couldn't help asking: "Old man, would you like to work in my house with your granddaughter?"

"What?" The old woman wondered if she had heard it wrong. At her age, she hated doing laundry for others, so who would hire her?

"Old man, I want to say that I want you to work in my house." Mo Jinran thought that people are old and can't listen to their ears, so he said it loudly again, causing the crowd who had just dispersed to look sideways.

When the old woman heard the words, she couldn't help crying. After asking for a long time, she finally believed that Mo Jinran really wanted to hire her.After discussing everything with the old man, he disappeared for a moment before reappearing with a few steamed buns and a bowl of hot tea in his hand.He handed it to the old woman with no expression on his face, without saying anything, but it made people feel warm.

The old lady kowtowed a few more times before taking the steamed stuffed bun and hot tea. She didn't eat it herself first, but poured the hot tea into her granddaughter's belly, feeding her and talking. "This child is a good child. Every day he finds something to eat, he always gives it to my wife first. He also said that he has eaten outside, otherwise he would not faint here from starvation. I am sorry for my dead son and daughter-in-law. I didn't Ability to take good care of this child!"

"Old man, don't cry, your granddaughter is filial, you should be relieved." Mo Jinran persuaded, seeing that the old woman's body is better than that of the little girl, she should be able to work.It's just that she is in her fifties, and no one is willing to ask for a job.This is human nature. Who would let a young and strong man go to work for a man who is a lot of age and who will enter the coffin at some point?

The little girl took a few sips of hot tea before she woke up in a daze. Seeing the white buns held by her grandma, she swallowed.The old woman explained for a long time, saying that they had found a job, and the two of them would have food in the future.She was willing to eat it in big mouthfuls. It seemed that she hadn't eaten for a day or two.

Mo Jinran thought, such a caring girl should take good care of her mother in the future.

Ning'er behind him snorted coldly, "General, how can you take good care of the Fourth Madam with such a body? Think again!"

Mo Jinran glared at her, this Ning'er is too hateful.It happened that two bejeweled ladies walked across the street, and they were carefully looking at the maids for sale on the street. Mo Jinran had an idea and sold Ning'er to them.Seeing that they were well dressed, Ning'er didn't say much, knowing that Mo Jinran was determined and would not keep her today.

The two women bought Ning'er for only one or two taels of silver, which really made Ning'er feel annoyed. You must know that she is at the age of Ruhua, and she is also agile in doing things. It is also a good thing to do business in such a place.And Mo Jinran had just paid the old woman back five taels of silver, and now he sold her for one tael, which was obviously an insult to her.

But Mo Jinran was insulted, what could she do.

After taking care of everything, Mo Jinran and Leng Qing led the old lady, grandson and grandson back to Mo Mansion.

The old lady Zhang Wang, Mo Jinran called her Zhang Ma, the little girl is actually [-] years old this year, but she is short due to malnutrition, because her father passed away when she was born, so she only has a nickname Yingzi.

Sure enough, Mo Jinran was not mistaken about Mrs. Zhang and Yingzi. Mrs. Zhang was a hardworking person. After entering Mo's residence, she cleaned the house and yard for Mrs. Ping up and down, and did a lot of work that other servants were unwilling to do. No complaints at all.Yingzi is not fully recovered yet, but she always stays with Mrs. Ping, serving tea and water for her. Mrs. Ping's knee is still hurt, so she wipes Mrs. Ping's body every day. Jin Ran was grateful for being able to give them a shelter, food and clothing.

Mo Jinran was also completely relieved of Mrs. Ping, and she didn't have to worry about someone not serving her well.

And after the chicken soup incident last time, Mo Yinping was honest for a few days and didn't go out of her garden, but a few days later, he met Leng Qing again by chance.It seems that there is already something to rely on, Mo Jinran's nose is not his nose, his face is not his face, and he obviously runs against her.

Mo Jinran felt very strange, this Fifth Sister is usually not the most cautious, when did she start to be so arrogant?

He wanted to teach her a good lesson, but was called to the study in the mansion by Old General Mo.

Mo Jinran was almost idle in the court, and he didn't want to worry about anything except going to the battlefield, so General Mo rarely asked her to go to the study, and this once in a while made her feel a little uneasy.After glancing at Leng Qing and Mo Yinping, he left embarrassingly.

Old General Mo was sitting on a chair in the study, and he didn't stand up when Mo Jinran entered the door, but just glanced at her indifferently.

Mo Jinran was slightly startled, it was the first time that General Mo had been so indifferent to her.

"I've seen Daddy." He bowed and waited carefully.

Old General Mo looked at Mo Jinran for a long while before he let out a deep breath. "However, you told dad that you really refused to go to Princess Xili just because of your face?"

Mo Jinran was slightly taken aback, feeling guilty, but still nodded.

Old General Mo stood up abruptly, and the large tent slammed on the table, knocking off the writing brush on the table, and fell to the ground, the pen holder of Baici was broken into several sections.Mo Jinran felt a little distressed, that pen is so pretty!

"You still haven't told the truth with Weifu? Your third mother has already told me that you... and Mr. Leng... Alas! How can Weifu let the only heir of the Mo family lose his sleeve? !" General Mo's appearance was very tangled, and his face was full of grief.
