At first, the two women were so nervous that they lay on the bed with their clothes on and didn't dare to close their eyes.
But gradually, they discovered that Song Yan was engrossed in reading and ignored them at all. Their hearts also relaxed. A deep exhaustion came over them, and they closed their eyes unknowingly...
Listening to the two even snores coming from the bed, Song Yan smiled, put away the novel, and began to practice cross-legged.
Strength is the basis for life-saving. Even if no one in this world has ever practiced Kung Fu, who knows if there is a different kind of peerless powerhouse. Therefore, Song Yan does not dare to slack off at all.
Early the next morning, the two women woke up leisurely.
Suddenly realizing something, he quickly stood up and found that Song Yan was no longer in the room, his face changed drastically.
However, just as they hurried out of the room, they found Song Yan practicing martial arts in the yard.
Song Yan didn't know many martial arts skills, and all of them were improved to the point of proficiency with reputation points. However, he found that proficiency was not the highest state of martial arts. Only through continuous practice and use can martial arts be cultivated to a higher state.
After practicing the "Thirty-nine Whirlwind Postures", the two girls had already brought face wash water and wicker sticks for brushing teeth.
Song Yan could accept the towel being made of silk, but using wicker dipped in green salt to brush his teeth was unacceptable to him.
So, after washing his face, he took out a toothbrush and toothpaste from the storage space. Watching white bubbles coming out of Song Yan's mouth while brushing his teeth, the two girls' eyes widened.
After brushing his teeth, Song Yan noticed that the two girls had curious faces and asked with a smile: "Do you want to try it?"
"No... no need, Master!"
Although they said no, the desire in the eyes of the two women could not be hidden from Song Yan's eyes.
So, he took out two new toothbrushes, put some toothpaste on them and handed them to the two girls: "Come and try them."
The two girls took it with some anxiety, and then started brushing their teeth under Song Yan's guidance.
After brushing their teeth, both women felt a light coolness and freshness in their mouths.
"What are the names of the two inside?" Song Yan looked at the two girls and asked.
"My name is Daya."
"My name is Erniu."
It seemed that Song Yan was easy to talk to, and the two girls were no longer so nervous when facing him.
"Did your parents give you this name?" Song Yan said a little speechlessly, two cute little lolita actually gave you such a rustic name.
"Yes, we are all untouchables and are not qualified to take official names." Daya said shyly.
"In that case, let me give you two a name." Song Yan said with great interest.
"Thank you, sir." The two girls looked grateful upon hearing this.
Formal names can only be owned by people with status.
After thinking for a moment, Song Yan pointed at Daya and said, "From now on, your name will be Chun He."
"Chunhe, thank you for the name, Master!" Da Ya knelt down again.
"Get up." Song Yan smiled and helped Da Ya Chun He up, then pointed at Er Niu who looked expectant and said: "From now on, your name will be Qiu Xiang."
"Qiuxiang thanked you, sir."
After being given names, the two girls obviously became closer to Song Yan.
At the same time, Song Yan also learned about their family situations from their mouths.
Chun He and Qiuxiang were both sold to the city lord Shen Du by their family members. In the past few decades, various countries in the world have been at war, so ordinary people's lives have been difficult.
In order to survive, there are many people who buy and sell their children and exchange their children for food.
Chun He's parents gave birth to two girls and one boy. She was sold into the city lord's mansion by her parents when she was thirteen years old.
Qiuxiang's parents had four children. The eldest sister was married and she was the second child. She also had a younger brother and younger sister. She was sold into the city lord's palace at the age of fourteen.
It can be seen from the tone of these two women that Shen Du, the city lord, is quite kind. Chun He was sold for two thousand yuan and Qiu Xiang was sold for two thousand two hundred yuan.
A penny is a copper coin, which is roughly equivalent to a dollar in the real world.
In other words, Chunhe was sold by his parents for 2,000 yuan, and Qiuxiang was sold by her parents for 2,200 yuan.
Copper coins are the common currency in mainland China, but each country sells its own coins, such as iron coins, jade coins, cloth coins, and some messy metal coins. What's even more exaggerated is that there is a small country that uses special stones as money.
All in all, the coin aspect is very confusing.
However, most homemade coins can only be circulated within their respective countries and are not recognized by other countries at all.
Of course, in addition to copper coins, gold and silver are also the currencies in circulation in this world, but the people who use these two currencies are nobles.
After a while, other servants brought breakfast.
There are only two things, one is corn porridge and the other is steamed buns.
After taking a sip of corn porridge, Song Yan felt pretty good, but the cornbread was a bit rough.
"Come and eat together!"
Song Yan said to the two women.
"I don't dare." The two women shook their heads.
Song Yan didn't force it, knowing that the class concept in this world is deeply rooted, so he asked: "Where will you go to have breakfast later?"
"Sir, we only have two meals at the moment, one lunch and one dinner." Chun He said boldly.
Song Yan's face darkened: "How can this be done? It's time for you two to grow up. How can you not skip breakfast? I order you to sit down and eat with me!"
Chunhe Qiuxiang looks pretty good, but unfortunately, she is thin and her complexion is slightly sallow, which is typical of malnutrition.
But what Song Yan didn't understand was that most civilians would feel very happy if they had one meal a day, not to mention two meals.
Under Song Yan's strong request, the two women finally sat down and began to have breakfast with him.
Suddenly, Song Yan's heart moved. He took out two pieces of ham bread from the storage ring and handed them to the two girls: "Try this."
"Sir, what is this?"
The two women asked curiously.
"Bread, taste how it tastes."
"Um."
The two women took the bread and took a bite. Suddenly, their eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.
It's so delicious.
After breakfast, Song Yan planned to go shopping in the city.
The two girls, Chunhe Qiuxiang, were naturally leading the way.
However, after walking around, Song Yan lost interest because the entire county seemed extremely depressed and there were very few stalls selling things on the streets.
Suddenly, Song Yan's heart moved: "Chunhe Qiuxiang, do you want to go home and have a look?"
"Sir, is it okay?"
Both women showed longing. Since selling themselves to the city lord's mansion, they have never seen their families again.
"sure."
Song Yan nodded.
"Thank you, sir."
Both women looked grateful.
Linbian City is not big. Chunhe's family lives in the west of the city, and Qiuxiang's family lives in the north of the city.
Under the refusal of the second daughter, they decided to go to Chunhe's house first.
Naturally, Song Yan couldn't come empty-handed. After thinking about it, Song Yan went to the rice shop and sold a bag of corn as a gift. Seeing this, Chun He was even more moved.
Because he had not been home for several years, Chunhe seemed extremely excited along the way.
After about half an hour, Chun He led Song Yan to a low house with earthen walls.
A little boy with an open penis and snot hanging from his nose was playing in the mud in front of the house.
"Brother." As soon as she saw the little boy, Chun He quickly ran up and hugged him, tears rolling down her face.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman in ordinary clothes and an old look walked out of the house. When she saw Chun He, her face suddenly changed and she shouted loudly: "Da Ya, why are you back?"
