"I feel sorry for my sister, and I want you to live a happy life."
Su Xiaolu sniffed, she was such a good sister, why couldn't she live a relaxed and happy life.
It is really hard to do everything possible to protect yourself in all kinds of assassination plots.
"Xiaolu, I feel happy if I can be with Brother Heng."
Su Xiaoling knew that Su Xiaolu felt sorry for her, but feelings were like this. Once you liked someone, you would be willing to do many things for the other person.
"Xiaolu, don't worry about me. If my sister likes him, she will have to face this. She is not afraid."
She also knew that being with an ordinary man would not be so dangerous, but she just liked him, so what could she do?
If there is danger, she can work hard with him to overcome it.
"As long as sister likes it."
Su Xiaolu said gently that she had never experienced love in her entire life, but she had seen it.
No matter what, people who are willing to sacrifice everything in a relationship and are determined are worthy of admiration.
"Good night little deer."
Su Xiaoling said good night gently.
Su Xiaolu also closed her eyes and fell asleep.
——
Zhou Heng and Zhou Zhi returned to the Ming Palace together, and Zhou Zhi kept his eyes closed and meditative in the carriage.
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Zhou Heng had no intention of returning to the palace.
Zhou Zhi looked at him: "Brother, it's time to go back."
"Azhi, help me."
There was pain in Zhou Heng's eyes. The only one who could help him now was Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi lowered his eyes: "What do you need?"
"I need someone to protect Xiaoling. I want her to be safe. I can't lose her."
Zhou Heng swallowed and opened his mouth. Su Xiaoling's safety was a rock that he couldn't let go of in his heart.
Zhou Zhi raised his lips and smiled: "Brother, have you ever thought that in the future you will be the emperor and have three thousand beauties in the harem, and all the courtiers will not tolerate you being the only one with Su Xiaoling. Do you know this? What will you do in the future?"
Zhou Heng loves Su Xiaoling too much, which is a very dangerous thing for Su Xiaoling.
The entire court didn't care how much Zhou Heng loved Su Xiaoling. They only cared about whether their daughter could become a concubine and whether their daughter could give birth to a prince.
"Azhi, I have thought about this a long time ago. If I become the emperor in the future, I will find a good woman with a broken sleeve to be brought into the palace as my concubine. Anyway, in the palace, they can love each other as sisters and will not hinder my independence.
Pampering her alone will not only block Youyou's mouth, but also fulfill my promise to her."
Zhou Heng did not hide anything from Zhou Zhi, he revealed all his plans.
Zhou Zhi's eyes deepened.
Men have a fetish for short-sleeved shirts, and so do women. Men are okay, and some of them are officials with high status. No one takes this fetish seriously. After all, in the flower house, besides women, there are also waiters.
"Go back to the palace. I will send two women to her tomorrow. I have written down this favor and will repay it when I have the opportunity in the future."
Zhou Zhi opened his mouth and said he was willing to help, but not in vain.
"Okay, thank you.,"
Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Zhi promised him, and he felt relieved.
Zhou Heng returned to the palace.
Zhou Zhi also returned to the house. He called the secret guard Yin Yi, who came out of the darkness and said, "Master."
Zhou Zhi calmly ordered: "Bring the two women from the Shadow Guard and send them to Su's house tomorrow. From now on, they will be used by Su Xiaoling. Once they recognize their master, they will be hers."
"yes."
Silver retreated.
Zhou Zhi went to the desk, took the booklet, and started writing.
Zhou Heng just hasn't adapted yet. Once he adapts, he will be like a fish in water.
Having a foresight is better than not having one. Zhou Heng is used to seeing ordinary couples like Su Sanlang and Zhao getting along, so it is normal for him to want to follow suit. But as an emperor, everything must be weighed. It would be great if Zhou Heng could understand this.
It doesn't matter what kind of concubines you have in the harem, as long as you have them, you can stop everyone from talking about it. It's not that the emperor doesn't want to expand the harem, it's just that he doesn't like your daughters.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but smile.
That's pretty good too.
——
After what happened yesterday, Su Xiaoling stopped leaving the house.
During dinner in the morning, Su Hua solemnly brought up the matter of buying someone. The Su family was different from the past, and they didn't have to worry about everything by themselves.
The safety of Su Sanlang and Zhao family was in danger, and they did not dare to be careless.
At home, we need maids and nurses.
Neither Su Sanlang nor Zhao had any objection.
So after morning, Su Chong and Su Hua went out to Yakou to select people.
At noon, Jin Liu came to Su's house and brought two women over for Su Xiaoling to see.
"Miss Su, these two secret guards will protect your safety from now on. Please give them names."
Jin Liu said to Su Xiaoling.
Su Xiaoling accepted it graciously, and Jin Liu nodded to Su Xiaolu and went back.
The two women looked ordinary and a little thin. They looked at Su Xiaoling and knelt down: "Master, please give me your name."
Su Xiaoling looked at Su Xiaolu: "Xiaolu, what do you think is a good name?"
Su Xiaolu smiled and said nothing.
Awareness is that she can't help.
Su Xiaoling had no choice but to laugh, and she said: "Get up, your name is fennel, and your name is dofu. Fennel is a very common spice in life. Dofu is the same as tofu. Do you think it's okay?"
Fenxiang lowered his head: "Fenxiang thanks the master for giving me the name."
"Doufu thanks the master for giving me the name."
The two said together that names are titles to them and they don't care what they are called.
Now that Su Xiaoling is their master, she can give them whatever names she wants.
Su Xiaolu saw that Fenxiang and Doufu's palms had thick calluses. She knew that their martial arts skills were not low, but their looks were ordinary, and they looked no different from ordinary maids. Su Xiaolu felt a lot more relieved to have them protect her sister from now on.
At night, Su Chong and Su Hua bought back ten servants.
There is an old woman who can cook called Mrs. Cheng, and there are four maids aged 18 who have changed their names to Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. They are all ordinary, but they are good at work.
There are also two servants Shuanglei and Shuanggui who work as handymen, and three nursing homes, named Ande, Anshun and Ancai respectively.
After settling them properly in the side house, Su Hua set rules for them. They were all slaves under a death contract. He didn't care why they were slaves before. As long as they were still slaves, they must abide by the rules. In the future,
If you can afford three times the price of the deed of sale, you can redeem yourself.
Even if you work hard, you can still get monthly silver every month.
If you do outstanding work, you will receive additional rewards.
No matter how ordinary a servant is, as long as he saves thirty years without spending any money, he can get out of slavery. No one wants to be a slave for the rest of his life. Su Hua gave them the opportunity to get out of slavery, as long as they can achieve the goal.
If you ask, you can successfully get rid of your slavery.
The ten people knelt down with tears of gratitude and swore that they would serve their master well.
Su Xiaolu began to carefully prepare the medicinal materials.
Su Xiaoling will help, and so will Fenxiang and Doufu.
