Gan Lin thought that she was lucky, the bustard had never spoken to her so kindly, and now the bustard was so polite that she was embarrassed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Xiao Gan, didn't you say before that you wanted to learn literacy from the bookkeeper? Now I agree, how about it?" The old bustard looked at Ganlin, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Gan Lin didn't expect the bustard to have such a big change, in addition to being moved, he kept agreeing, "Thank you mom for your love." ”
"Well, you won't have to work for the next two days," the old bustard touched Gan Lin's hand again, handed Gan Lin to the seventh aunt's hand, and instructed, "Let her rest for two days." ”
After Lao Bustard and Gan Lin finished talking, the seventh aunt came out with Gan Lin, with a smile on her face all the way, "Xiao Gan, you are lucky." ”
Gan Lin laughed with him for some reason, it was true that she had good luck, but it wasn't luck in front of them, she should really thank Taochun and Xiaoyu.
That night, Su Gongzi came, Taochun and Su Gongzi didn't see each other for more than a month, naturally there was endless lovesickness, the two covered the door and talked about their own words for a long time, and Su Gongzi paid out of his pocket to let Xiaoyu buy a table of wine and food.
Taochun looked at Ailang with joy and sorrow, and couldn't help but ask a few words about the situation of the Su family, and then said to Su Gongzi, "I want to ask Gongzi for something?"
Su Gongzi lovingly helped Taochun up, and said softly: "Why should you be so polite between you and me, there is nothing wrong with saying something." ”
"I can't repay Childe's great kindness to me in my life," Taochun said, her eyes turned red, as long as she stepped out of the door of the Shui Shui Lan Pavilion, she would serve Su Gongzi all her life and give birth to children for him, "You also know that I was born cheaply, I went with Childe, I am not familiar with life, and the maid who serves me wants to go with me, but she has a good match, can you redeem it together, and it is good to have them take care of me." ”
Su Gongzi pursed his lips and smiled, holding Taochun in his arms, "If you marry me, I'm worried that no one will serve you, how can I let you be wronged." ”
"You just promise me," Taochun was scared at the thought of her going alone to a place where she was not welcome, "I will pay their ransom, although I have not had any savings in the past few years, but it is possible to ransom two people." ”
Seeing Taochun's insistence, Su Gongzi agreed, "Okay, you can do whatever you say, the child is good." ”
Momoharu's face stiffened, and his hand covered his lower abdomen, "He's fine." ”
The next day, Su Gongzi took Taochun to find the old bustard, the old bustard just got up, he hadn't washed yet, yawned and asked Taochun, "It's early in the morning, why are you here, sit down," After speaking, he shouted to the girl outside to serve tea to Su Gongzi, "Su Gongzi, are we Taochun still well-behaved?"
Su Gongzi glanced at Taochun and said with a smile: "I like it very much." ”
"That's good, I'm afraid that our peach spring won't have this blessing. The smile in the bustard's eyes was even worse, and there was no one she didn't like.
Su Gongzi doesn't like to talk politely with the bustard, and he doesn't drink the tea on the ring, "Su Mou came today to have something to say, I like Taochun and want to redeem her." ”
The old bustard's drowsiness disappeared all of a sudden, and his voice was eight feet high, "What?
"Yes, you can make an offer. Su Gongzi nodded.
The old bustard rubbed his eyes, took a sip of tea to refresh himself, and then asked seriously: "Su Gongzi shouldn't be impulsive, you know, who are you going to ransom? ”
"Of course Su knows, you make a price. Su Gongzi didn't think it was a whim, he felt that the bustard was making too much fuss, as long as she said it, he could afford it.
The old bustard didn't answer Su Gongzi's words, slapped the table, pointed at Taochun and scolded, "Okay, you little hoof, I worked hard to hold you to your current position, you say that you will follow people, how much energy I wasted on you." ”
"How much effort have you spent, I will give you the silver together, don't scold her again," Su Gongzi didn't like the old bustard to point at the woman he liked, and it was the woman who was pregnant with his child, "I'll give you a thousand taels is enough." ”
The old bustard waved his hand impatiently, and didn't continue to talk to Su Gongzi at all, one thousand taels, Taochun is the top card, with her current age, twenty years old, it is not a problem to work for six or seven years, and she will earn seven or eight thousand taels in these six or seven years, and she will be a second-class girl in the future, and she will be able to work for another five or six years, and she will be able to do one or two thousand taels, how can the old bustard suffer this loss.
"How much do you say?" Su Gongzi also knew that this price could not be redeemed.
The old bustard looked at Su Gongzi with a smile, "If you are sincere, I will not spoil Su Gongzi's good deeds, ten thousand taels, if Su Gongzi really likes our Taochun, he should not feel distressed." ”
Su Gongzi was angry, the old bustard was clearly asking for a sky-high price, Taochun also thought that the old bustard would open his mouth, and it was estimated that it would be six or seven thousand taels if he reached the sky, but he didn't expect the old bustard to dare to speak, Taochun shook his head, "Forget it, you don't have to redeem me, Childe." ”
"What are you talking about, how can I feel sorry for those few silver," although Su Gongzi was angry that the old bustard Hu asked for a price, he could only endure it, "You have my ......"
Taochun estimated that Su Gongzi wanted to say that she had his child, and she would never give up on it, so she hurriedly covered his mouth, "I understand Childe's intentions, but I'm afraid that Gongzi will be embarrassed." ”
"Don't be embarrassed," Su Gongzi sincerely wanted to be with Taochun, where could he take care of his family, "10,000 taels is 10,000 taels." ”
The old bustard was also very surprised when he saw that Su Gongzi agreed, "Su Gongzi is really refreshing, since this is the case, then we will immediately let the account room write the note, collect the silver, and Taochun is yours." ”
Seeing that the old bustard promised Su Gongzi to ransom Taochun, the bookkeeper hurriedly called the old bustard aside, "We can't smash the signboard for these silvers, as soon as Taochun leaves, where can we find the girl in the town building for a while." ”
"I have a point. The bustard reassured the bookkeeper that she had never done a loss-making business, and this time it was the same.
After setting up a note and drawing a pledge, Su Gongzi handed over the deed of sale to Tao Chun, Tao Chun held the deed of sale, and there was an unreal feeling that she was finally free.
Tao Chun was happy and also remembered what he promised Xiao Yu, and when the old bustard saw that Tao Chun was still not leaving, he asked, "You are no longer the girl in my pavilion, and you are not leaving?"
"I'm going to ransom two more people. Taochun said to the bustard.
When the old bustard heard this, he straightened up and looked at Taochun defensively, "Who else do you want to ransom?"
"I want to redeem Xiaoyu and Xiaogan. Tao Chun thought that it should not be difficult to redeem two subordinates.
When the old bustard heard this, he stood up and sneered, "Yo, it's different from rich people, I thought you were going to buy me here, Xiaoyu, I'll make you cheaper, twenty taels is enough, Xiaogan, you let Su Gongzi prepare twenty thousand taels." ”
"What, twenty thousand taels?" Momoharu's jaw dropped in surprise.
