The male servant who died in the water battle was only sixteen years old. He was a craftsman and his parents were both dead. He sold himself to earn a living and had not yet had time to marry and have children.
Alone, Lin Wanwan wanted to pay some pension but didn't know who to send it to.
Because they encountered water bandits, Lin Wanwan's fleet temporarily docked at dawn. Then they threw the two water bandits captured alive last night to the Yamen, and at the same time held a small funeral for the fallen male servant.
Lin Wanwan bought him a cemetery among green mountains and green waters.
She originally wanted to ask a local scholar to write an epitaph for him and erected a monument to bury him, telling the world that he was a loyal and loyal servant.
But unfortunately, no scholar is willing to make this kind of money. No matter how poor the poor scholar is, he was born in a poor family and has a sense of superiority. He feels that slaves and sluts are better than animals and are not worthy of erecting monuments. It is an insult to elegance. Lin Wanwan had to write it herself and ask a stonemason to engrave it.
.
What Lin Wanwan did was naturally deviant and unbelievable to the upper class. If she hadn't secretly performed the ceremony at a cemetery far away from human habitation, the local gentry would definitely have sent people to disrupt it.
But for all the servants, subordinates and slaves who attended the funeral, Lin Wanwan's actions were simply touching. It felt like they could die with a smile on their face for such a master!
Is there any noble in this world who really treats bitches like them as human beings?
People like them, who were not even qualified to have independent household registration and could only rely on their master's family. Although they did not have to pay taxes or perform labor service, they did not have any rights. In the eyes of the nobles, their lives were simply worthless.
But today, their master Le Anxiang Jun treated them as human beings.
For them, this kind of shock is beyond words, and they can only repay it with grief.
Lin Wanwan spent all the pension money that should have been given to the deceased's family on his funeral and cemetery, and gave him treatment that far exceeded standards and worldly standards.
She did this, of course, on the one hand for her own conscience, but on the other hand, she may not have the intention of winning over people's hearts.
In addition to the one who died in the battle, there were also some injured people who were all treated by Lin Wanwan herself.
In order to prevent wound infection, Lin Wanwan traveled back in time and space to modern times and went to a small rural clinic to obtain penicillin.
After finishing all these things and setting sail again, Lin Wanwan's ship welcomed the leader of the "Detachment of Women" ship.
After that night, Lin Wanwan began to have doubts about their identities. It was not like a noble lady leading a group of maids to the south of the Yangtze River to find relatives, but rather like people traveling in the world.
Lin Wanwan was unwilling to travel with someone who was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. She had already informed the person not to go on the boat again.
As for the combat support they provided to Lin Wanwan during the water battle, Lin Wanwan directly compensated for it with thirty kilograms of pepper.
Thirty kilograms of pepper was definitely a huge sum of money in the Tang Dynasty. One tael of pepper and one tael of gold was enough to buy the lives of a whole ship of them. It was more than enough to repay them for their help.
However, the goal of this group of Jianghu girls is obviously not for money. They have another purpose in getting close to Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan guessed this after discovering that they were very skilled and carried weapons.
There may be some brave chivalrous women who sacrifice their lives to help others for no reason, but they will never be this group of people who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers.
Just looking at their indifferent attitude towards others in daily life, you can tell that they are not such enthusiastic people.
But they really helped Lin Wanwan after all. If they hadn't been there, one or two ships in Lin Wanwan's fleet might have been scuttled, and there would have been more casualties.
Even if the ship didn't sink, the hull would definitely be in disrepair after the water battle, instead of just some canvas damage and small holes like it is now.
So their leader politely sent an invitation to see Lin Wanwan, and she couldn't refuse him outright. She always wanted to meet the person and give them a chance to talk.
However, in view of the opponent's astonishing strength, Lin Wanwan's cabin was filled with Kong Wu's powerful Buqu and Kunlun slaves. The two most powerful maids who were seasick were also posted by Lin Wanwan.
Seasickness stickers stood behind her.
In addition to the maidservants, Lin Wanwan's own sleeve crossbow and pistol are naturally never left behind.
No matter how bad her marksmanship is at close range, she can still hit someone.
The leader of the woman who went to the meeting alone did not change her expression in the face of the people in the cabin who were eyeing her eagerly. She gave Lin Wanwan a grand bow and then expressed her wish to continue traveling with the fleet.
Next to her was a sack containing thirty kilograms of pepper, which she brought back to Lin Wanwan.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were people who were not interested in pepper. It was totally unreasonable.
Lin Wanwan said coldly: "You are stronger than our bodyguards, so why do you have to follow us? Are you talking about seeking protection? Don't tease me. Besides, the water channel is so big. If you really want to follow us, I will too."
Can't stop it.
Tell me, why do you need my consent?"
The visitor was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Xiangjun, we have no ill intentions towards you."
Lin Wanwan smiled slightly: "Whether there is any malice or not, I will make my own judgment."
After a moment of pause, no one came to confess. Lin Wanwan's expression turned cold, she yawned and said lazily: "Is there anything else?"
The woman lowered her head and whispered back: "Xiangjun, we really mean no harm. My master's surname is Xiao."
Lin Wanwan's expression did not change. In fact, she had already guessed it.
To cultivate such a powerful group of women is far beyond the reach of ordinary noble families. Only the top sects have this background.
The only one among those top families who might secretly protect her, Lin Wanwan, is the Lanling Xiao family.
Most of these people were sent by Xiao Chong.
Xiao Chong was able to gain real power in a short period of time in Luang County, where there were many gentry. He had an armed branch on the surface, but he also had power secretly.
Each family has secret forces that seem to have nothing to do with them. This is one of their trump cards to keep the family alive.
After forcing the other party to reveal his origins, Lin Wanwan suddenly felt a little depressed. Even if she knew, it seemed to be meaningless.
She waved her hand half-heartedly: "Bring the pepper, these are my rewards for hiring you, please step aside."
However, the woman still did not leave. She looked up at Lin Wanwan and said, "Before entering the palace, the lady should have received a brocade box. I wonder if the lady still remembers it?"
Lin Wanwan recalled it, but she couldn't remember it. She was too busy to care about it. It was all under Yun Shang's care.
She turned to look at Yun Shang, who stepped forward and whispered back: "Madam, it was Gu Langjun who sent someone to pay for the fan. I kept it in the warehouse and took it with me on board this time.
