Chapter 108 Broken heart for the happiness of employees
After sending Chen Bo and others away, Wei Changtian went back to the house and looked at the map of Shuzhou for a while, and then went to check on Achun's cultivation status.
Liang Qin has already arrived, telling him that Liang Zhen will take him to see a prince again in the afternoon.
Unlike those vassal princes in previous generations who were prone to rebellion at every turn, although the prince of Daning had a prominent status and first-class comfortable living conditions, he was actually very miserable.
Not only did he have no power or fiefdom, he couldn't even enter the capital. He could only live in various parts of the country for his old age, and he couldn't be buried in an imperial mausoleum after his death.
It's just like the emperor's decoration to show his "magnanimity".
Ning Yongnian originally had fourteen brothers, half of whom died during the fight for the throne, leaving seven.
Later, when he successfully ascended the throne, two brothers refused to accept the throne and tried to rebel, but they also failed and reunited with their father one step ahead of schedule.
So now there are four princes in Daning, and the one in Shuzhou is titled "Shun", which is Prince Shun.
Although he has no power, whether it is to become a familiar face or to visit the dock, since Liang Zhen wants to take him to see him, he must have considered it, and Wei Changtian will certainly not have any objections.
"My father will pick you up when you leave in the afternoon. I'm going back."
In the courtyard, Liang Qin was obviously still angry about what happened yesterday. He said that he wanted to go back, but his body remained motionless, making it clear that he was "seeking comfort."
Wei Changtian estimated that if he said "You go back" at this time, the woman would definitely be even more angry, so he had no choice but to stay:
"Let's stay for lunch. It was Liu Shi's fault yesterday. I already criticized her."
"..."
Liang Qin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and most of the grievances he had accumulated all night disappeared in an instant: "Well, has my house been tidied up?"
"It's packed. I'll let Yuan'er take you to see it."
"Really? I'll go first then!"
Liang Qin clapped her hands happily, and then happily took Yuan'er and ran to see her house.
In her opinion, this is no ordinary house, but a proof that she has a place in Brother Changtian's heart.
Seeing the two girls disappearing into the backyard, Wei Changtian felt dumbfounded.
By the way, are all women these days so easy to coax?
But that's not necessarily the case. It would still be a headache if someone as capable as Lin Daiyu was put on the stand.
Jia Baoyu is still in love with her to the death, but in the final analysis, it still depends on her face...
The "behavior" of a beautiful woman is called cute, and the "behavior" of an ugly woman is called "ugly people tend to make mischief".
The same as before and now!
Wei Changtian suddenly began to have divergent thoughts again, until a servant suddenly ran over.
"Sir, Mrs. Li, who lives next door to us, asked to see her and brought her son with her."
"Mr. Li?"
Wei Changtian was stunned.
Isn't this the widow? What is she here for?
"Invite her in."
Wei Changtian nodded and thought for a moment before suddenly shouting to the side:
"Zhang San!"
…
There is no need to rush into finding a wife for Zhang San. After all, it still depends on whether Mrs. Li is willing or not.
Of course, if Zhang San doesn't want to "become a father", then he won't be able to do so.
But from the current point of view, except for being married and having a baby, Mrs. Li is doing pretty well in other aspects.
"...Sir, I will definitely discipline my dog well from now on. Please forgive me."
A quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Li had already explained her purpose of coming clearly with a low eyebrow, and finally took her son to salute Wei Changtian.
Wei Changtian really didn't expect that she would come to apologize for such a trivial matter, and he felt quite emotional for a while.
"Mrs. Li, you don't have to be like this. I don't take this little thing to heart."
"Actually, I'm not very polite. I didn't come to visit you when I moved to this house... In this way, if you need help in the future, just come to me and I will definitely help you."
"Thank you, sir."
Mrs. Li saluted again, and then she took out a small ingot of silver from her sleeve with some embarrassment and placed it gently on the table.
"Young master, please accept these five taels of silver."
She was originally going to bring a basket of eggs to apologize, but after seeing the attitude of Chen Bo and others towards Wei Changtian, she felt that it was too much to offer, so she gritted her teeth and took a piece of silver.
There is not much savings left at home, five taels is the limit.
Although Wei Changtian didn't know Li's family background, he certainly wouldn't ask for this mere 50 taels of "compensation".
"Mrs. Li, I just told you that I didn't take this matter to heart, so why would I want your money?"
"If you don't accept the young master, it will be difficult for the women of the country to feel at ease." Mrs. Li shook her head, a little stubborn.
"Hahaha, madam, you are worrying too much."
Wei Changtian smiled and said: "If you insist on peace of mind, I have a suggestion... Forgive me, madam, do you have any income on weekdays?"
"This... I just occasionally sew some clothes for the cloth shop, and there is no stable income." Ms. Li lowered her head and answered.
"That's not as good as this."
Wei Changtian smiled and glanced at Zhang San standing aside, and said to Mr. Li:
"To be honest, madam, I just arrived in Shuzhou the day before yesterday, and I haven't had time to find anyone reliable to take care of my family affairs."
"Everything else is fine, except that I, the guard, still lack someone to take care of me in my daily life."
"If Madam is willing, why not take some time to come here every day to help him wash clothes, clean the room, etc. I will pay you five taels of silver every month."
"But I won't give it to you in the first month. I just thought I had accepted the five taels from you. What do you think?"
"..."
Hearing this, Zhang San felt strange in his heart.
However, due to his excellent "professionalism", he never said a word and just stood motionless.
Mrs. Li on the other side was a little moved and confused at this time.
Little did she know that this was because Wei Changtian felt sorry for their orphans and widowed mothers, so he deliberately used this method to help himself.
Fifty taels a month is enough to hire ten good maids, one for each.
Although I used to be on the side of being served by others, now I feel a bit of a psychological gap when I have to serve others.
But who lets the man in the family die early?
Women are naturally weak, but mothers are strong.
After looking at her confused son, Ms. Li quickly gave up her other thoughts and wanted to kneel down as soon as her knees bent.
However, Wei Changtian did not let her kneel down. With a flash of his body, he held Li's arm almost instantly, and at the same time lowered his voice and said:
"Madam is not a servant, so there is no need to kneel."
"Besides, your son is still watching."
"..."
Li was stunned for a moment, and after a long while she said with trembling gratitude:
"Thank you, thank you sir..."
"You don't have to thank me. You do the work for me and I'll give you money. It's very fair."
Wei Changtian smiled and let go: "You still don't know your wife's name?"
"Sir, my slave... the girl's name is Su Yue."
Li Suyue...
Wei Changtian nodded and asked again: "Then what is your son's name?"
"The dog's surname is Wang Mingran..."
After hesitating for a moment, Li Suyue took the initiative to add: "Ran'er had an illness when he was young and his throat was burned out."
"Oh, it's such a pity that he is still so young."
Wei Changtian sighed softly: "Has he ever studied and practiced martial arts?"
Li Suyue replied softly: "I have been reading for half a year, but because I couldn't speak, my husband said that it was in vain, so I stopped reading."
"If you practice martial arts..."
Just like the reaction of the social animals in the previous life when they heard "wages are paid", the little boy's big eyes lit up instantly as soon as Li said the word "practice martial arts".
