Chapter 162: Grandma Li's Idea
Mrs. Li listened to Mu Hibiscus's warning, and couldn't help but stiffen her face, she saw that Mu Hibiscus didn't mention this matter before, and thought that she didn't care, but at this time, the other party mentioned it, which means that if they dare not hand over the cloves to her, she will account for the things that her own house planted her before, right? This is to force them to exchange the cloves for her right not to pursue them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Grandma Li on the side saw that Mrs. Li was frightened by the hibiscus, and couldn't help but pout, thinking that her mother-in-law was really timid, she immediately rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "If the slave maid is fine, but Lilac is my husband's concubine, isn't it bad for my cousin to force people to hand over the concubine like this......? But it's not good. ”
Mu Hibiscus listened to her words, couldn't help sneering, and said: "Which eye of my cousin sees that I am relying on the situation and wants to get the cloves back, I am exchanging the matter of not pursuing your mansion to frame me, cousin said this, isn't it a strong word? However, since you are not willing to exchange, then I will naturally not force you, you can see it yourself, anyway, I will leave the words here." ”
Mrs. Li listened to Mu Hibiscus's words, and hurriedly smiled: "Where is it, we are definitely willing to exchange, but we still have to ask the boss's opinion." ”
Then he glared at Grandma Li again, and secretly said that she had always felt that this girl was very smart, why was she so stupid at this time, and she dared to talk to Mu Hibiscus like this, which would annoy Mu Hibiscus and investigate what to do if they committed perjury.
Grandma Li was glared at by Mrs. Li, and she didn't dare to say anything.
…………
Mrs. Li said that she wanted to discuss it privately, but she didn't leave Hibiscus cold, so she immediately ordered someone to call Lilac over, so that their little sisters could get together and have a chat, so that they wouldn't stay for too long to discuss and make Hibiscus anxious -- Mrs. Li wanted to repair the relationship with Hibiscus as much as possible, so she would be so sympathetic, otherwise she would not have considered Hibiscus like this.
When Hibiscus left the house, went out with Lilac, and left the space for her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li asked Grandma Li, "You gave me a look just now, did you not want me to agree to the request of the county lord of Anping?"
Grandma Li nodded and said, "Yes, mother." ”
"Why?" Mrs. Li knew that she would not do such a thing for no reason, so she asked curiously, and then reminded: "You just heard from the county lord of Anping that if we don't let people go, she will take what we did before and make trouble for us." ”
In her opinion, since Grandma Li also regretted this mistake of standing in line, then now that she can use the matter of cloves to repair the relationship with Hibiscus, why is it still not good for Grandma Li to let people go when Hibiscus comes to ransom Lisuo at this time? This makes her naturally strange.
Grandma Li didn't answer directly, but asked Mrs. Li a strange question, and said, "I know, but my mother thinks that if we simply return the cloves to the county lord of Anping, can the county lord of Anping really not blame us?"
Mrs. Li listened to her inquiry, couldn't help but hesitate, and said, "This...... My mother didn't dare to guarantee it. ”
Mrs. Li naturally didn't know that Hibiscus thought, as long as they honestly put the cloves, she could open the net in the past, just thinking that this thing was going to happen to her, and she would never let go of the person who committed perjury, so she thought that Mu Hibiscus would not let go of her family easily, so when she was asked by Grandma Li at this time, she naturally didn't dare to boast about Haikou, and promised her daughter-in-law that Hibiscus would not trouble them in the future.
Grandma Li smiled when she saw Mrs. Li's hesitation, clapped her hands and said: "That's it, since there is no way to guarantee that the cloves are handed over to the county lord of Anping, people will let us go, so it is better to hold the cloves she is concerned about in her hands, but it can ensure safety." ”
This is what Grandma Li thinks, she is thinking, anyway, they have offended the Changping Mansion and Hibiscus, if they want to take revenge on the Earl of Zhongyong's Mansion, they will retaliate no matter what they do, so since the Hibiscus cares about the situation of Lilac, of course they can't be stupid enough to let Lilac go, on the contrary, they can also take Lilac as a hostage, forcing Hibiscus and Changping Wangfu not to dare to do anything to Earl Zhongyong's Mansion- Although I don't know how heavy the cloves are in the hibiscus, no matter what, it is better than putting the cloves back, and if the weight is heavy, it is difficult to hold this hostage and take advantage of the Changping Palace.
Besides, she still wants to continue to fix the cloves, how can she let her go, let her back against the Changping Palace, and marry a good man in the future and live a peaceful life? Hmph, if she dares to seduce her husband, then she must have the ability to bear it! She doesn't care whether she was coerced by her mother-in-law or not, she only knows that whoever seduces her husband will be killed!
- Although some time ago, because she saw that hibiscus was developed, she was afraid that Hibiscus would find her trouble, so she treated Lilac better, but this was all on the surface, it was to show Hibiscus, so that Hibiscus would not trouble her, and in her heart, she naturally didn't want to let Lilac go, although she didn't torture Lilac much now, but she made up her mind to detain her, not let her go, and let her be desolate and dead in the house without children and daughters, so that her practice was hidden, and others couldn't find anything wrong.
When Mrs. Li heard Grandma Li say this, she couldn't help but nod her head again and again, obviously agreeing with her idea.
She originally thought that as soon as Mu Hibiscus wanted cloves, she would immediately release her and form a good relationship with Mu Hibiscus, so as to improve the relationship between the two, so that Mu Hibiscus would not find trouble in the Earl Zhongyong's Mansion through the Changping Royal Mansion in the future.
But after listening to Grandma Li's words at this time, she felt that it was extremely reasonable, so the previous idea of wanting to put cloves had been thrown out of the clouds, and on the contrary, she began to plan how to maximize the interests of the cloves in her hands if she didn't put cloves.
Not to mention that Mrs. Li and Grandma Li planned to hold cloves hostage and blackmail Hibiscus, but they said that Hibiscus was here.
Lilac was shouted, saying that she was her former little sister, and when the current county lord of Anping looked for her, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then her nose was sour and she wanted to cry.
She knew that Hibiscus would come today, and she must have come to save herself from the house, because she had said this before.
As soon as she thought of getting out of the sea of suffering, marrying a man who knew cold and pain, giving birth to her own child, and living in peace, instead of having nothing to look forward to here, and being eyed by Grandma Li, Lilac couldn't help but want to cry.
She had waited too long for this day.
"What do you think, let's go quickly. The mother-in-law was afraid that she would be scolded by the lord of Anping County if she was in a hurry, so she was busy.
Although she also knew hibiscus because she had worked in the house before, but now that she is a nobleman, she doesn't dare to slack off because she knew her before.
It used to be before, and now it is now, nobles are not good to wait, especially the county lord of Anping has worked in the mansion before, and it is estimated that he will mind the previous things, and when the time comes, he will be in a bad mood, and he will be miserable if he finds her a little trouble, so he urged Lilac to leave quickly.
Only then did Lilac come back to her senses, quickly wiped her eyes, and followed the woman away.
That mother-in-law is not Mrs. Li's henchman, just an ordinary subordinate who was sent to call people, so I don't know that Mrs. Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law may not let Lilac go, just thinking that Lilac has a noble person like the county lord of Anping as a backer, and I am afraid that it will be Huang Tengda in the future, and I can't help but smile flatteringly: "The girl will be developed in the future, but don't forget the old woman." ”
As long as she is willing to say a few good words in front of the county lord of Anping, with the friendship between Lilac and the county lord of Anping, it should be a matter of one sentence for her to jump to the Changping Royal Mansion - now the Earl of Zhongyong's Mansion is not as good as day by day, and the treatment is getting worse and worse, I don't know how many people have left, this woman is naturally one of the people who want to leave, but she has never found a good way, so she will say this to Lilac at this time.
Lilac knows what this person thinks, but how could she say such things for irrelevant people, besides, she herself has to rely on the blessing of the hibiscus to go out, if at this time, for the sake of irrelevant people, relying on the hibiscus to be good to herself, she will unscrupulously mention this and that request, then no amount of affection can be wiped out, so how can she be so stupid, but at this time this person said such a thing, it would not be good if she refused, so she only smiled and perfunctory a few words at the moment.
When I got to the place, I saw that Hibiscus was not waiting for her in the house, but came to the door and stood, and when I saw her appear, I went down the steps and greeted her, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she was afraid that she hadn't seen her for a few months, Hibiscus had become a nobleman, and her attitude towards people was different, like those noble ladies, so she would have to be restrained, and now she saw that Hibiscus was very approachable, and thoughtfully went down the steps to greet her, and she knew that Hibiscus had not changed, and she was still the hibiscus who was a good friend with her before, and she was relieved.
However, although people are as good as before, she can't take other people's goodness for granted, otherwise after a long time, people think that she kicks her nose in the face and slowly annoys her, which is not good, so she salutes Mu Hibiscus thoughtfully and says, "I've seen the county lord." ”
In any case, it is always true that the Lido people do not blame it.
Yes, the reason why Hibiscus went out specifically and stood at the door to greet Lilac was that she didn't want Lilac to feel that she was now a nobleman, waiting for her to come and see, so she didn't have a barrier, so she stood at the door and waited for her.
At this time, seeing the lilac salute, he hurriedly stopped and said, "Between us, there is no need to be so polite, let's go, let's go into the house and say." ”
"Good. Because of the thought of the happy new life that is coming, Lilac's face can't help but have a little more brilliance, and said.
"How are you doing?" Hibiscus looked at her, and when she saw that Lilac's complexion was okay, she knew that she should be okay, but she still asked.
Lilac nodded and said, "Since the eldest grandmother knew that you were the granddaughter of the Changping Palace, she knew that you had a good relationship with me, and she was afraid that you would make trouble with her in the future, so she treated me a lot better, and I really owe it to you." ”
Hibiscus smiled, "That's good. I came today to redeem you, but the eldest lady and grandmother didn't agree immediately just now, saying that they wanted to go in to discuss it, I don't know if they will agree. ”
When Lilac heard that they didn't agree immediately, but ran to mutter, she couldn't help but get nervous, and said, "They don't want to release people and want to detain me, right?"
"I've thought of that, too, but don't worry, it's a big deal to redeem you for a hundredfold price. ”
Although there is human trafficking in this era of the Great Zhou, but a person is bought, it does not mean that there will never be a chance to become a free body, in addition to the favor of the main family, in addition to the deed of sale, you can also redeem yourself, this dynasty is to support the free people, because in this way the country has taxes, otherwise everyone has become someone else's slave, no need to pay taxes, then the country's taxes will be greatly reduced, so if someone wants to redeem themselves, the master can not stop them.
But this dynasty also supports the interests of the propertied people, after all, the upper class are rich and powerful people, and they don't want their interests to be damaged, so the price of this self-redemption itself is higher than the purchase price, but for the sake of the national interests, Wang Fa set the highest price, that is, it cannot exceed a hundred times the purchase price.
However, generally anyone who has a little conscience will not let people redeem themselves at a hundred-fold price, and if the asking price exceeds ten times, they will be said to be mean and unkind, and they will be said to be a hundredfold, and they are generally in the eyes of money, or they are deliberately obstructed like Mrs. Li and Grandma Li, and those who want to redeem themselves have no choice but to redeem their freedom at a high price.
Mu Hibiscus's words surprised Lilac, and said, "A hundred times?! Wouldn't that cost a thousand taels? No, my family can't afford to pay so much money." ”
Lilac is a child born in the family, because the child of the family is not bought, it is the automatic generation of slaves born by the slave maid who bought in, and the purchase price is generally calculated according to the price of the parents, and the parents of the clove were bought in for ten taels of silver, so the purchase price of the clove is also ten taels, and if it is a hundred times, it is a thousand taels of redeeming silver.
In fact, the Lilac family looked at the bitterness of the cloves, and then saw that the cloves were not favored, and they couldn't help Mrs. Li with anything, thinking that Mrs. Li should not care if she was a son and concubine, so they also mentioned the words of giving Lilac a ransom, but because Mrs. Li and Grandma Li did not let go, they did not give a ransom price, and they could not afford to pay a thousand taels of automatic redemption silver, and in the end they could only forget it, at this time Lilac heard Hibiscus say that she wanted to forcibly redeem herself, she was surprised, after all, she never thought that Mu Hibiscus would not pay back the money she ransomed, at most she hoped that after having Hibiscus as a backer, Mrs. Li could release people happily。
Mu Hibiscus couldn't help but shake his head and smiled when he heard her say this: "You don't need to pay it back." Seeing that Lilac seemed to want to say something, Mu Hibiscus waved his hand and said: "I have been taken care of by your family a lot over the years, and according to your calculations, don't I owe you a favor from the boss of your family, and such a favor from the boss is worth a thousand taels." If you really don't want to go, you will find a good family in the future, and you will pay it back when you want to pay it back, this is always okay, right? You can rest assured, I can be your backer now, you are beautiful, and I am the backer, it is not difficult to find a good family. So now you don't think about money, it's serious to redeem it first, after all, after a long time, even if you have a good relationship with me, others see that you are old, and it is difficult to pick a good condition, you know, a woman's Shaohua is more valuable than anything else, and it can't be delayed. Besides, if the eldest wife and grandmother don't want to let you go, will they let you go in a few years? Anyway, they won't let you go, unless you don't want to leave here, or you will still have to pay a thousand taels of silver, and then you will be too old to marry well, and you will suffer a lot? Anyway, sooner or later, you have to leave, so it is better to leave now, and you are still young and easy to marry. ”
