It's so arrogant for a wealthy family to throw money at people.
People who have been hit with money feel pretty good. Huaiyu wants to say that such good things are welcome to come more often.
At this time, he was lying in the soup room taking a bath, thinking about what happened just now. He still didn't understand what Changsun and Zhang meant. They probably misunderstood that Huaiyu came back with Sanniang, and were worried that the poor boy wanted to eat the swan.
Meaty.
The price is three hundred bolts of silk. For ordinary small landowners, this may be an irresistible temptation. Huaiyu has a good impression of Li Sanniang. This girl is tall, long-legged, white, and has a model figure.
She is also very dashing, especially with her double peach blossom eyes.
But this is just pure appreciation. The two have only been in contact for a day. It would be too nonsense to say that it was love at first sight. Huaiyu didn't even think about it. Now that Zhang's eldest grandson has appeared, it just makes him haha
A smile.
Originally, the three hundred pieces of silk were too embarrassing to accept, which meant that the prescriptions and medicines could not be charged much, but now that it was done like this, if Huaiyu didn't accept it, it would seem a bit malicious, and he also
I had no choice but to be disrespectful.
After getting three hundred bolts of silk, Huaiyu was in a good mood. Although people looked down on him, it didn't matter if he could exchange for three hundred bolts of silk. When he didn't have the strength, it wouldn't be a loss to exchange face for money. Anyone who wanted it would be willing to give three hundred bolts of silk.
, he is willing to be looked down upon again.
The bathroom in the Li family is quite good. In winter, you can directly heat the water in the pool and enjoy the same refreshing experience as soaking in a hot spring. Even at this time in summer, soaking in a pool of cold water is very pleasant. The only thing that is a little uncomfortable is the friction when riding a horse.
My thigh was broken and it was a bit sore when I first soaked it.
While enjoying the bath, Si Qi knocked on the door and came in, still holding folded clothes in his hands.
"These are the clothes that the madam asked the slave to give to the young man. They belong to our second son. The madam said that you are similar in appearance and should fit well."
Several maids were as old as wolves and tigers. Wu Huaiyu, who thought he was young, had just taken the opportunity to tease Si Qi in the bathroom and even wanted to be indecent. Otherwise, how could Si Qi escape in such a panic and even hurt his feet?
Li Sanniang had no choice but to nod when she heard this. She also hoped that the people around her would be happy in the future. She felt that Wu Erlang was not a good character, but he was also a talented person.
She smiled softly and said, "Okay, this is just a little accident. It's nothing. Let's go back and have a good rest."
That girl looks so generous, but why is she so flustered now? It doesn't matter.
"You are so bold, how dare you, a young member of the imperial army, to act mischievously in our county's official residence!"
If you become a concubine in the Wu family, you are at least a beloved person, not the property of the Wu family.
This answer was surprising. Changsun didn't believe it and kept asking for details. Si Qi had no choice but to tell the truth.
If Si Qi becomes Wu Erlang's concubine, it is indeed a reward.
"Wu Erlang was very polite from the beginning to the end. He was not disrespectful in any way. It was my servant who was disrespectful and lost the people of the Yongkang Palace. I am willing to be punished."
"Then Wu Er molested the girl Siqi in the bathroom. The girl Siqi screamed and ran out of the bathroom, disheveled and limping with her injured feet..." The maids added fuel to the fire and used their free imagination to use their brains.
Complementing the story, a self-righteous and dirty ruffian, Tian She Han'er, entered the county government and attempted to do something inappropriate to a young and beautiful maidservant. The poor chess player almost didn't escape from the clutches of his clutches...
Li Qing raised his head in surprise: "It's impossible, Wu Erlang doesn't look like that kind of person."
Zhang Chuchen planned to be a good person to the end. Not only did he give Siqi to Wu Huaiyu, but he even asked his parent Li Jing to write a release document and released Siqi as a beloved man. This was done in one step. From slave to beloved, he did not first release him as a guest daughter. In this way
Si Qi followed Wu Huaiyu and could be a concubine instead of still being a slave.
"This medicine is very precious, and the prescription is even more precious. Wu Erlang is willing to prepare the medicine for us. If I just leave it to my servants to make it, if someone steals the formula, or something goes wrong while making it, Wu Erlang will not only be missed."
His trust also destroyed this medicine." Li Sanniang said bluntly.
"As long as she is willing, I will write a letter to your uncle to write a letter of exemption and return, and then ask Dalang to co-sign, and go to the Yamen to apply for the ultimatum."
"Sanniang, ask Siqi if she is willing to be with Wu Erlang. If she is willing, I will come and tell Wu Erlang. This can be considered a good thing. Although Siqi is a maidservant born in the family, she is
I have followed you since I was a child, and I have been loyal and diligent. Now that I have reached the marriageable age, I can't keep dragging it out. I think Wu Erlang is not bad. Although he is only a Zhuyi official now, based on these few impressions, this young man
Not only does he have good medical skills, but he is also very good at dealing with people. He will definitely be successful in the future."
After hearing this, Zhang Chuchen looked at Li Sanniang, "I originally said that I would arrange Siqi to serve in Erlang's room from now on, so I know the basics, but Erlang likes to practice martial arts and swordplay all day long. He doesn't like literature but likes literature."
Ren Xia just wants to make friends and stay away from home all day, so he doesn't care about it at all."
Besides, for such a capable young man, it would be very worthwhile to give him a girl if he can win her over.
Changsun said: "Sanniang, you have only known him for a few hours? Some people are like this, they pretend to be cool in front of others, but secretly they don't know how to be despicable. Besides, Siqi is just a maid, so she becomes more and more daring...
····”
On the other side, Siqi ran away in panic, still limping.
"Our chess girl is very beautiful. Her face is as white as the moon, and her eyes are as big, round and soft as apricots. She has a good figure, plump, long legs, big breasts and a big butt. She will definitely be able to have children in the future."
Huaiyu calmly held her steady first, then pulled the towel from her hand and wrapped it around her. Then he calmly and calmly took off Siqi's shoes and socks, and checked her feet to make sure she was twisted.
, he stretched out his hand to massage her for a while.
Several servants looked at each other.
Si Qi's eyes were fixed, as if struck by lightning.
In comparison, it is of course the best to be freed from being a concubine. Siqi is young and pretty, especially since he has followed Sanniangzi since he was a child. He has also read books with her, learned chess, calligraphy and painting, and even can ride and shoot swords. If
It’s not that his reincarnation has a bad background, it’s also very good.
Huaiyu soaked for a long time before changing his clothes and going to rest.
"It's okay to leave these things to the servants in the outer courtyard, why do you have to do it yourself?" Zhang Chuchen said distressedly.
But Li Sanniang didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang had so many calculations, she just wanted to find a good home for Siqi.
While he was talking, the maid from the guest house came to complain.
"Then I'll ask Si Qi."
Zhang Chuchen looked at Siqi for a while, and then looked at her swollen ankle. The young maid was in a panic, her face was red, and she was extremely shy. In Zhang Chuchen's eyes, she was
Seeing everything at a glance, she believed that she was telling the truth. Siqi was originally a maid she personally selected and sent to Sanniang to accompany and serve her. Such a girl knew the truth and could not and would not dare to lie to her.
Wu Erlang is very capable, and he is also the nephew of the warrior Xun. Before his husband went north to fight against the Turks, he was the governor of Yangzhou. Now the warrior Xun is taking over his position. For those wealthy nobles, the favorite is
With intricate relationships and connections, when you are in a high position, you have to make more friends and fewer enemies.
Siqi turned around the screen and looked up, seeing Huaiyu facing him sincerely, he couldn't help but blushing on his face.
Zhang looked at the medicines in the side room and said, "Wu Erlang's prescription is worth a life on the battlefield. Now Alang is stationed at Xiaoguan to fight against the Turks. Wulang and Liulang are also going to the front line with their clan members. Sanniang's father and brother are still
We are trapped in Huining Pass waiting for medicine. These medicines are too precious. If Siqi can succeed, it will not only help find a good home for Siqi, but also thank Wu Erlang for his favor."
"Miss Siqi is the third lady's personal maid. If you dare to molest and defile Miss Siqi, then that's okay!"
The status of maids in the Tang Dynasty was low, and the laws were lower than that of livestock. They were only counted as private property, not as human beings. Not only did the good and the lowly not marry, the maids could not be wives for their husbands, nor could they be concubines.
After half a year, a maid is not even allowed to raise a son of a good man, but the master's family can release her, but if she is released as a betrothed, she can only be a concubine, not a wife.
Mrs. Li Sanniang did not expect that Mrs. Zhang would offer to give Siqi to Wu Huaiyu, or even grant her immediate immunity.
In many wealthy families, maids born or bought usually have only two options: they can be married to their own servants, or they can be released by their masters as concubines. Of course, they may also be given away as gifts at any time.
It's also possible that someone, or someone who is disobedient, resells it.
"Is Miss Si Qi's feet feeling better?" When he walked out of the bathroom, he didn't see Si Qi. It was another maid of the Li family.
Si Qi blushed and put down his clothes and left. In a moment of panic, he bumped into the screen and fell down with an ouch. Seeing this, Huaiyu quickly got up from the pool and went over to help her up, "Is the girl okay?
"
"You have to tell the lady to go quickly!"
"Ah!~"
Huaiyu couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the panicked rabbit.
Zhang Chuchen was thoughtful, and this arrangement had deep meaning. Although Si Qi said it was an accident, it was indeed against the courtesy of the Yongkang government to do it. Giving Si Qi directly to Huai Yu was also an apology. Of course, doing so
More importantly, she felt that Wu Erlang deserved to be given a maid.
Changsun snorted, "It's no need to ask. If something like this happens, just drive him out as soon as possible. Sanniang must never associate with such a scumbag again in the future. She also said that in
I have been practicing Taoism in Zhongnan Mountain for nine years. I think he may have been a bandit and robber in the mountains for nine years. I must ask someone to find out his details and let him go quickly. For the sake of his dispensing medicine, I will spare him this time.
Officer, if you want me to tell you, it’s best to ask the royal doctor to take a good look at this medicine. If it’s fake, the next best thing is to ruin the precious medicinal materials. The most important thing is to harm your health if you take it inadvertently..."
Over there, Zhang Chuchen and Changsun were still in Sanniang's courtyard, watching her process pills with a group of maids. Sanniang was commanding a group of maids and servants, but she was as calm and orderly as a general.
After a while, Siqi was brought in, still lame on his feet.
If she is released as a good person, she can be a concubine and her status is guaranteed. Unfortunately, if she is a maid for one day, even if she is released as a good person, she will not be able to be a wife and can only be a concubine for the rest of her life.
The matter of freeing slaves for good is more troublesome. Even if the chess game is the private property of the Li family, women are not qualified to deal with it. The head of the family, Li Jing, must write it in his own hand, and the eldest son, Li Deyu, must co-sign and send the ultimatum to the Yamen with a talisman.
"Tell me how that deceitfully bullied you!" Changsun urged.
Changsun said: "That girl's face is full of spring. I see that she is talking for Wu Erlang, and she looks like she is moved by spring. This girl must be fifteen or sixteen this year, and she should indeed be at the right age at this age.
, Although Wu Erlang is of ordinary origin, he does look pretty good. No wonder this little girl fell in love with her as soon as he saw her. Why not just give this girl to Wu Erlang. "
Although Li Sanniang felt a little reluctant to give up, she also knew that it would be a matter of time before she got married, unless she took Siqi with her as a dowry and became the maid of the first marriage, or she was released as her husband's concubine.
Li Qing stepped forward to comfort her, "Just tell the truth."
Huaiyu continued to go back to the pool to take a bath. On this hot day, it was a rare opportunity to take a bath and he really couldn't bear to take a bath.
"This girl!"
"Si Qi, what happened just now?" Zhang Chuchen asked.
"Miss Siqi has gone to rest. I will send you to your bedroom to rest."
"Girl, please leave it alone and thank Madam for me." Huaiyu didn't expect that she would go directly behind the screen and quickly pulled the bath towel around her.
Li Sanniang had a good impression of Huaiyu and thought he was very polite and not like that kind of person. "Let's wait until Si Qi comes and asks about it."
A servant girl in her thirties said with a knowing smile: "That farmer must have taken the opportunity to molest the chess girl!"
Si Qi blushed and stuttered, "Back to the eldest lady, Sanniang and Changsun, Wu Erlang did not bully the slaves."
The two broke away from each other, and Siqi seemed to have finally recovered from the petrification. He screamed uncontrollably, and then ran away like a frightened rabbit. As a result, his feet hurt and he almost fell again. Huaiyu
He went over to help her, and she opened the door in panic and ran away with a limp.
Changsun didn't take it seriously and said, "What are you asking about? The girl's face was full of peach blossoms just now. She has been in love for a long time. Is there any reason why she doesn't want to? She doesn't feel wronged when she becomes Pinzi's concubine. Besides, Wu Erlang has such
Sooner or later, Wu Erlang will be able to get ahead. As for Wu Erlang, why would he not be willing to give him such a good girl as a concubine for free? It's too late for him to be happy that someone from our Pingkang County government can join us.
Woolen cloth."
Si Qi was shy and anxious, "I dare not lie. I obeyed the lady's order and took Xiaolang's clothes to give to Wu Erlang. As a result, I accidentally fell and panicked. I really shouldn't have disturbed the guests."
·····”
"You dare to lie?" Changsun scolded, "They all said that you ran out of the soup pool screaming and limping disheveled, and you still said you were fine?"
Besides, giving Siqi to Wu Erlang will not only win over the young man, but also eliminate any possibility of anything happening between Sanniang and him.
The suit of clothes that Siqi brought belonged to the second son of Li Jing, and they really fit him well. Especially the close-fitting material was made of silk. It was ice cold after wearing it, and he really looked like a dandy.
Zhang Chuchen chuckled.
"Our chess girl has grown up with Sanniang since she was a child. Most young ladies from poor and powerful families cannot compare with us."
Zhang Chuchen did not make a judgment easily, "Go and call Si Qi and ask him face to face."
"Girl, your foot is sprained. I've massaged and stimulated blood circulation for you. It's no big deal. If you have ice cubes at home, you can wrap the ice cubes in a towel and apply ice on your foot for a while. It will heal faster.
I'll help the girl get some medicine."
When the maid in the guest house saw this and asked, Siqi just blushed and shook her head without answering, and ran away in panic.
Siqi had never been in such close contact with a man, especially a young man with only a piece of cloth around his waist. He became more and more panicked and wanted to get up and leave quickly. However, he grabbed Huaiyu's strong arm.
The feeling of the muscles made her even more flustered. She quickly let go of her hands and lost her balance. In panic, she grabbed her hands and accidentally tore off Huaiyu's fig leaf.
Mrs. Zhang secretly looked at the apple of her eye. Although she was talking about Wu Erlang, she didn't seem to be able to tell that there was any personal relationship.
Several servants hurriedly ran to the eldest lady Zhang Chuchen to complain.
"Well, not all men are like this," replied the other.
Huaiyu didn't think much about it, and went back to the guest room and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already dark, and a maid came outside the room to send a message. The Wu family held a banquet for the flower guests to thank Wu Erlang for dispensing the medicine.
"Sister Siqi is also waiting for Wu Erlang in the flower hall."
I remember that the maid Huaiyu seemed to be Li Sanniang's personal maid, and she seemed to be called Siqin, "Sister Siqi and the maidservant are like sisters. In the future, Sister Siqi will follow Wu Erlang, and Wu Erlang must treat Sister Siqi well."
