Two hundred and twentieth eight chapters invitation of the princess
Tang Yaoyao brought back eight girls from outside.
The oldest of them is fourteen years old, two years younger than Qing'er, and the youngest is only eight years old. If in later generations, they would be properly employed as child laborers.
But in this era, fourteen is no longer young. Although not many girls get married at the age of fourteen, Tang Yaojing, who is already seventeen, can already be regarded as a big girl. Su Mei, who has passed her twentieth birthday,
That's an absolute old girl.
The parents of those children, after handing in the deed of sale, some said a few words to them with loving and pitiful faces, while others took the money and left, unwilling to stay any longer.
The eight girls, no matter how big or small, stood timidly on the spot, lowering their heads and pinching the corners of their clothes. Tang Yaoyao looked at them and didn't know how to arrange it for a moment.
Tang Ning was not surprised when she saw the troubled look on her face.
She had always done things on impulse without a plan. Seeing how pitiful these children were, she bought them back. However, after buying them back, she could not let them fend for themselves. If she let them go back, she would probably see them again in a few days.
Standing on the street with straw in his head.
Tangning looked at her and said, "Go and call Qing'er."
Although Qing'er is a little silly and clumsy, she is the eldest maid in the family, and all the chores in the Zhong Mansion are actually arranged by her.
"You guys take a shower and change your clothes first, and then I'll tell you what you should do on a daily basis."
As the eldest maid, Qing'er's business ability is still very strong. She took the girls to bathe and change clothes, arranged rooms for them, and arranged the cleaning and service tasks one by one. The two younger ones, no
Just let them make the specific arrangements.
Xiao Xiao stood next to Tang Ning, looking at the sudden appearance of people in the yard. She held his hand nervously, but her eyes were still on those girls.
She is actually thirteen years old, but she looks a little thinner than those girls from poor families, and her heart is closed to a large extent. There are more peers in the yard, hoping that she can slowly open her heart.
Qing'er walked up to Tang Yaoyao and asked, "Sister Yaoyao, did you buy these little maids?"
Tang Yaoyao glanced at her and asked, "I bought it, what's wrong?"
"But sister Yaoyao, why don't you buy those maids from wealthy families? You can save a lot of things." She looked at Tang Yaoyao, scratched her head and said, "My uncle said that girls with big breasts will be clumsy.
But you have no breasts and you are not smart at all..."
Tangning held Xiao Xiao's hand and said, "Let's go find Sister Xiao Ru."
The next scene may be a little cruel. There is a price to pay for telling the truth. Qing'er, a silly girl, actually likes to seek death more than him. She is really not a family, and she doesn't enter the same family...
When he and Xiaoxiao walked out of the yard, Qing'er was already pressed on her legs by Tang Yaoyao, and her buttocks were whipped hard.
After a while, Qing'er covered her butt and kept a distance from Tang Yaoyao. When she saw her raising her hand, she seemed to still have something to say, and immediately said: "Sister Yaoyao, I was wrong. You are not stupid at all, you are the smartest."
Yes, girls with big breasts are stupid. Your breasts are smaller than mine, so you must be very smart..."
Tangning and Xiaoxiao walked out of the house, Qing'er's screams became even louder.
…
Royal Palace.
After Emperor Chen finished reviewing the memorial, he rested for a while, and then a young eunuch came forward to announce that King Run had arrived.
Chen Huang got up from the couch and said, "Let Yuan'er come in."
Zhao Yuan walked in with a food box in his hand and said, "Father, I made assorted pots, do you want to try them?"
Emperor Chen's expression changed, he lay back on the bed and said, "Father, you are not hungry now, Yuan'er can eat by yourself."
"Then Yuan'er will leave some for father."
King Run put the food box on the table, took out a bowl, divided half of it, and then started eating by himself.
Chen Huang leaned on the bed, looked at him, and asked, "Why does Yuan'er like cooking so much?"
Zhao Yuan stuffed something in her mouth and said vaguely: "Because Yuan'er wants to make delicious food for his father and mother."
Chen Huang looked at him and asked with a smile: "Don't you want to give it to your Wang sister?"
King Run's movement of picking up vegetables paused.
Emperor Chen smiled and said, "If Yuan'er likes the little girl from Prime Minister Wang's family, my father will betroth her to you as your princess in two years, okay?"
Zhao Yuan was startled, then shook his head and said: "Yuan'er thanks my father, but Yuan'er doesn't want the marriage."
"Why?" Chen Huang said in surprise: "Don't you like the Wang sister the most?"
"Like is a matter of one person, marriage is a matter of two people." King Run whispered, raised his head, stopped talking about this matter, thought for a while, and said: "Father, I saw someone on the street today.
Many things have straw stuck on them, and the gentleman said that putting straw on them means they can be sold."
Chen Huang nodded and said: "People will put things that are not needed temporarily on the street and put straw on them, so others will know that this thing is for sale."
"But I also saw many children with straws stuck in their heads." King Run raised his head and asked doubtfully: "The children are temporarily out of use. Why do their parents want to sell them?"
Chen Huang explained: "Maybe their family can't afford food, so if they sell their children to a wealthy family, the family can survive."
King Run lowered his head and looked at the food in the bowl, and then asked: "It's very uncomfortable to be hungry. Why can't some people even afford to eat?"
Chen Huang opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain.
As a king of a country, his people sell their children and daughters because they cannot afford to eat. This is not something worth showing off.
King Run looked up at him and said: "Father, they are so pitiful. Their parents abandoned them for just four taels of silver. Can we help them?"
"Yuan'er, you don't understand these things..." Chen Huang sighed. He didn't want all the people to have enough food and clothing, but there were so many poor people in the world. Even if he drained the national treasury, it would have little effect.
He touched King Run's head, stood up, and ordered: "From tomorrow onwards, order the Ministry of Household Affairs to build porridge sheds at the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and in the name of King Run. One porridge will be given out every day at noon.
The hour lasts for one month."
Wei Jian looked at King Run, smiled slightly, and said, "I obey the order."
…
The third uncle and the third aunt were both restless. When they were in Lingzhou, they had saved a lot of money. In addition, Tang Ning gave them money to buy a house in the capital, and there was still a lot left.
I have been running around outside for two days, thinking about buying a store and continuing to do my job.
Tang Ning strongly supports this. He hasn't eaten old yogurt for a long time.
When he brought Xiaoxiao over, he was stopped by the old beggar halfway, saying that it was her time to practice, so Tangning had to come over by herself.
Xiaoru was rarely busy. Tangning walked into the courtyard. She was sitting on the stone bench in a daze.
Tangning walked up behind her, hugged her from behind, and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
"Brother Xiao Ning, you're here." Su Ru was startled. When she found out it was him, her face turned red and she hurriedly tried to get away. However, Tang Ning hugged her tighter and said, "You will be mine soon."
Brother Xiao Ning?"
Su Ru's pretty face was already red to her ears, and she whispered: "Sister Zhong, Sister Zhong is here..."
Tangning put her hand on her waist and smiled, "You still want to lie to me!"
"Sister Xiaoru didn't lie to you." Zhong Yi walked out of the room, walked up to them, and said, "My husband took advantage of my absence and bullied sister Xiaoru again..."
"What do you mean by taking advantage of you when you're not around?" Tangning put one arm around Su Ru and the other around her, and said, "When you were around, I even bullied you two..."
After a while, he sat on the stone bench, with Zhong Yi and Su Ru leaning on his shoulders respectively.
With the beauty in her arms, at this moment, Tangning felt once again that God didn't seem to be playing a joke on him by letting him come into this world.
In the other world, he no longer has any relatives, but here, there are people he loves and people who love him.
He looked up at the sky, and his memory flipped with his thoughts. There was a figure there, from blur to clarity.
Tangning looked at the face that was etched deep in her memory and could never be erased for the rest of her life, and whispered, "Mom, have you seen it?"
Tang Mansion.
A woman in luxurious clothes bowed slightly to the young woman in front of her and asked, "I wonder why Princess Anyang came here this time?"
Princess Anyang tilted her head, looked into Tang Shui's eyes, and said: "Mrs. Tang, to be honest, my mother came to the capital two days ago. She asked me to come because she hadn't seen Aunt Xiaoyu for many years.
, please ask Auntie Xiaoyu to come home and talk about it."
The woman thought for a while, looked at Tang Shui, and said: "Since it is the princess's request, Shui'er, go and ask your sister-in-law..."
…
"Did Princess Anyang give it to me?" Tang Ning took an invitation from Qing'er and asked in surprise, "Are you sure it's not a joke?"
