After Emperor Wu waited for the grain to be transported to Shuzhong, when he had a private discussion with his ministers, he said that Li Chengyun had a heart for the society and did not care about his own interests, and he should make a contribution to the suppression of the rebellion.

The ministers naturally agreed, and many ministers began to make friends with Lee Seung-yoon.

In this matter, only King Jing was secretly displeased. Lee Seung-yun acted without consulting with him, the father. He knew it at the same time as everyone else.

And Lee Seung-yoon's way of raising money was to sell the dowry of the former princess Ho.

The eldest son of the dignified Jingwang Mansion has no private property, and he has to sell his deceased mother's dowry to have money?

The family affairs of the palace were secretly discussed for a while.

Everyone thinks of Li Chengen, as the second son of King Jing, who goes in and out of BMW incense cars and has many servants. Spend a lot of money in the capital, call friends, and be unparalleled.

And Li Chengyun, the eldest son, is very low-key and rarely participates in banquets. In addition to making friends with the prince of Cheng Wang and Xie Huiling of the Xie family, he will only appear at the palace banquet. The entry and exit is also simple and abnormal, three or five servants, riding in and out.

Stepmothers doting on their own sons is not new.

King Jing felt that the palace was laughed at, but everywhere he went, everyone praised him for teaching his son well, and praised the eldest son for being reasonable and open-minded. He could only swallow his displeasure.

After Liu entered Beijing, Li Chengen told her about these things, and Liu only felt angry. But on the cusp of the storm, she could only endure a breath and slowly try to reverse the criticism of everyone in Beijing.

Yuxiu turned down all invitations, invited a gentleman who was familiar with court etiquette to teach Yuliang, and bought a nurturing grandmother to guide Yushu and her own etiquette.

It's okay to be herself, Yushu is still young, she doesn't know people's hearts, and she is not fully prepared, she doesn't want Yushu to rashly contact those delicate-minded women in the house.

Mr. Etiquette of Yuliang was recommended by Li Chengyun and Xie Huiling.

Raising a grandmother was an accident.

Speaking of fate, Yuxiu took Yushu out of the house, and happened to meet Jingzhao Mansion selling official slaves.

After King Teng's rebellion, Emperor Wu was furious, so he naturally wanted to punish him severely, and at the same time let people find his comrades.

Almost every month, magistrates or Beijing officials were killed and exiled. Most of the family servants of these officials were official slaves.

King Teng's third son in Beijing ran away, and the remaining two young sons were taken into custody. And the slaves who served in the other courtyard, Emperor Wu simply let Jingzhao Mansion sell them.

These official slaves are sold cheaper than the market price, and not many people can buy them. People pay attention to auspiciousness, and this kind of offender comes out of the family, more or less everyone will feel a little unlucky.

When Yuxiu and Yushu passed, in front of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, a group of men, women and children, the men knelt on the left and the women knelt on the right, with their hands tied behind the scissors and grass markers on their bodies. These people, looking frightened and tired, looked at Yuxiu and his party vigilantly.

Yuxiu asked Liu Wu to come forward to look at people, and she pulled Yushu to stand on the side, and Qian Chang stood aside.

When the catkins stepped forward to check, there was a sudden soft cry in the woman's pile, and a woman slowly fell to the ground.

"Someone fainted, someone fainted!" a few people on the side snorted.

Yuxiu and Yushu couldn't help but look over, and the one who fell to the ground was a round-faced woman in her forties, who looked quite kind and clean.

The people from Jingzhao Mansion came over, brought a bucket of cold water, and poured a scoop of water on their heads.

The woman was stirred by the cold water and moved for a moment before she opened her eyes. She glanced at Yuxiu for help, and was pulled by the arms of the two servants of Jingzhao Mansion to get up and kneel.

Yushu couldn't help but glance at it sympathetically, "Sister, how long are they going to kneel?"

"Kneel for a day. "Yuxiu doesn't know about this either.

Qian Chang said on the side, "It's to kneel for a day, and someone buys it and takes it away." No one buys it, and tomorrow it will continue to come out on its knees and wait for the buyer. I heard that in a few days, if no one buys it, it will be used as a conscription. ”

Today is the fifth day of selling official slaves, and those who want to come young and beautiful and young and strong will be picked up. Most of the rest are too old, and if these people are used as conscripts, they are afraid that they will not live long.

When Yushu heard that they were going to be used as conscription if no one bought them, she looked at them sympathetically, thought about their own money, gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, why don't we buy a few more?"

They discussed it last night and planned to buy two handymen and two rough mothers-in-law.

"Okay, let's take a look at it then. ”

As the two sisters were talking, Liu Wu had already picked out four people over there. The eyesight that Liu Wu practiced in the Qinglou, and the four picked out were honest at first glance.

Yuxiu pointed to the round-faced woman who had fallen to the ground just now, "That woman, let's buy it back together." Ask if there is anyone who understands flowers and plants and can cook. ”

Liu Wu negotiated with the people of Jingzhao Mansion again, and finally they bought six servants.

Yushu looked at the other people kneeling on the ground sympathetically, sighed, and slowly followed Yuxiu to the car and went home.

"Shu'er, if you pity them, shall we buy two more?" Yuxiu asked tentatively when she saw that she was a little unhappy.

In fact, their family's house in the capital doesn't need too many people.

"No, sister, you always say that we have to do what we can. We have such a small place in our house, and we don't need too many people. Ok shook her head resolutely.

Yuxiu was a little surprised, seeing that Yushu was serious, she couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Yushu is only two years older than Yuliang, so she doesn't talk much. In front of her brothers and sisters, she occasionally jokes a few words, but she doesn't say it, but she has a plan in her heart.

As soon as they got home, Yuxiu called the round-faced woman to speak.

The woman said that her surname was Gong, and that she had worked in the palace needlework bureau in the early years, and later entered the Fuji King's Mansion after being released from the palace.

"Since you came out of the palace, are you familiar with the etiquette in the palace?"

"The slave maid has learned the rules in the palace before, and the general rules are still known. The woman was not modest, but said directly.

Yuxiu looked at it carefully, "In this case, you can teach us the two sisters etiquette and usually do needlework with us." ”

The woman agreed.

"Mama Gong, there are only four of us brothers and sisters in our family, and I also have an elder brother who fights in Shuzhong. Yuxiu looked at the woman and said slowly, "Now the affairs of our family are all discussed with us by my brother. I think you have an idea, and you can do things well if you want to. ”

Mama Gong heard Yuxiu say that the four brothers and sisters in the family were in charge of the house, and she was not surprised.

Yuxiu smiled, this woman is really smart. The fainting scene just now was to get the attention of his sisters?

"Originally, our family was small, and we didn't need many people. My sister saw that you fainted just now, so I will buy another one and buy you. ”

Yushu has been a good person, and Yuxiu has to let Mama Gong remember this favor.

Mama Gong heard that Yushu was in charge of buying herself, so she quickly kowtowed to Yushu again to thank her.
