Chapter 198: The Slave Bought It!
After kneeling for a whole morning, the water and rice did not enter, Mingmei was a little physically exhausted, and his eyes were black. In a trance, he saw Jian Ying come out, and he hurriedly folded his spirit and knelt straight.
When she would follow, she ignored herself, and lowered her eyes and pretended to be dead.
Jian Ying couldn't help but smile when she saw her series of small actions, and said in her heart that this person is really interesting, is it possible to think that if she climbed into the bed of the prince, her worth will double, and everyone has to treat her as a character?
Seeing her appearance, she almost pulled up a banner and wrote "I am proud to be a little me".
Thinking about approaching, he paused.
Mingmei raised her head in surprise, and saw a smile on her face, and immediately showed a look of resentment and defensiveness.
Jian Ying didn't bother to bother with her, and said, "The mother concubine handed you over to me to dispose of, you can go with me." ”
Hearing the word "disposal", Ming Mei shrank obviously, and her expression became panicked, "No! ”
blurted out this word, Fang felt that it was inappropriate, and then changed his words to make amends, "No...... Don't bother with the second young lady, I ...... The slave and maid are here to wait for the princess to be gracious, and it is good to be the master of the slave and maid. ”
Jian Ying "tsk" twice in her mouth, "Say you're confused, you're still a little clever; Say you're smart, what you say and do is really confused, and there is no lower limit.
Come on, I don't want to waste my spit. ”
turned around and commanded directly: "Mother Zhang, when you go back to worship your mother, you said that people would rather kneel to death than let me deal with it, then it's no wonder that we don't pay attention to it, so let my mother worry about it." ”
After speaking, he greeted Xueqin and Yuan Fang, and walked away.
Everyone else is embarrassed by the Fang family because of Meng Xinniang. Zhang's mother knew that it was Zhou Han who really embarrassed Fang's family.
She didn't know what the Fang clan thought, but she always felt that Zhou Han brought Ming Mei over to test something.
As far as she knew, although the Fang family had a relationship with Zhou Han in a daze, they did not mean to secretly communicate with him from then on and be an underground couple. It doesn't matter what his purpose is, it's best not to show up.
Jian Ying agreed to help deal with it, and she was really relieved.
At this time, seeing that Ming Mei couldn't open her mind and left Jian Ying angrily, she was a little annoyed. The words that came out were not very polite. "Since the princess handed you over to the second young lady, she wants to properly dispose of this matter.
You can't tell if you're friend or foe, how can you live in the Gaomen compound?
Why don't you hurry up and make amends to the second young lady? ”
Mingmei was scolded by Zhang's mother, but she still couldn't turn the corner.
thought that she had a grudge against Jian Ying. If Jian Ying doesn't take this opportunity to grind, it's good for her. Where will she be all decent?
Again. Can the name given by the mother-in-law be the same as the name that the brother and daughter-in-law helped to get? She also plans to take the title given by the princess to suppress Meng Xinniang's arrogance.
I suspect that this is a trap set by Jian Ying and Zhang's mother, in order to take her away from the gate of Jingguo Courtyard. She's gone. If you come back and kneel and beg for something that is not as straightforward as before, you will lose all your efforts.
Mama Zhang saw that her dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, so she only knelt still, impatient, "The princess has already thought it out for you, you don't want to do it yourself, and it's no wonder that others can't make a name."
What should be said and what should not be said, I told you, so you can do it yourself. ”
After that, he ignored her and turned around and entered the Jinggu Temple. beckoned, called a little girl with a comb horn, took out a few copper coins to her, and told her to keep an eye on Mingmei's movements, and go to talk back to Fang's family.
Ming Mei knelt for a while, and when she saw that there was still no movement in the Jingguo Courtyard, she became more and more flustered.
She shouldn't have been on duty last night, but because she was fiercely rejected by Zhou Shu, she expected that she would have insomnia at night, and she happened to catch up with the big girl who was on duty with Ziqiang to have a stomach, so she sold a good favor and replaced the girl, so as not to be alone and difficult.
I didn't close my eyes all night, and I knelt for a long time, even thirsty and hungry, and my knees hurt so badly that I felt that it wouldn't take long for me to faint.
Instead of fainting and being carried away in a daze, it is better to try your luck with the woman surnamed Jane. Since the woman told her to go with her in full view of everyone, she did not dare to do anything excessive to her.
After weighing it, he gritted his teeth, and stood up with his hands on the ground.
He stumbled for a moment, steadied his steps, and when the numbness in his legs was relieved, he tidied up his clothes and headed for the Blue Courtyard. Along the way, he held his head high, trying to ignore the disdainful gazes cast by the people below.
When she arrived at the Blue Courtyard, she told the mother-in-law of the porter that Jian Ying invited her. But the woman said that she was not instructed, and she did not let her in, nor did she give a report.
She regretted a little that she didn't follow Jian Ying happily at first, and hated this mother-in-law's slippery power. But he had already come here, and he couldn't turn back, so he had to pull out a heavy hairpin from his head and hand it over, and he paid a lot of good words, and the woman reluctantly went in to report.
When he entered the bright room of the main house, he saw Jian Ying sitting on the top for a long time, obviously sure that she would come over, and was waiting for her to send it to the door, and his heart became more and more annoyed.
Suppressing the anger and blessing the body, "Please be safe to the second young lady." ”
Jian Ying didn't say that she was flat, nor did she look at her, she was spinning a hard pen in her hand, thinking about what to write in order to look high-end and high-grade.
Mingmei knew that this was because she was not polite enough, and secretly scolded "too much deception", but she still knelt down with humiliation, and raised her voice slightly angrily, "Slave Mingmei, please be safe to the second young lady." ”
Jian Ying raised her eyes to look at her, "Do you want to be an ordinary concubine, or a decent concubine?" ”
Ming Mei didn't expect her to ask so directly, and raised her head in a daze, and she didn't see the expected ridicule and banter on her face.
Remembering the last time I knelt here, I once said categorically that "there is only one second young master in my eyes", and now I will say that I have a deep affection for the prince, I don't care about my reputation, and I only ask for a position next to the prince, wouldn't it make them laugh in vain?
After a few turns of thought, he bowed down and kowtowed, "If the second young lady can give the slave and maid some dignity, let the slave and maid's life be better." The slave and maid must be kept in mind in order to repay later. ”
Jian Ying smiled and shook her head, "Forget about the report, I like to settle on the spot." ”
Mingmei's breath froze, "The slave doesn't understand what the second young lady means." ”
Jian Ying supported her chin with the hand holding the pen and looked at her, "The concubine only asked me to give you a name, but she didn't specify what kind of title she wanted to give." From the girl in the room to the concubine of the prince, this difference is big. ”
Seeing that Mingmei's face changed, he continued. "If you just want to be a general concubine. In order to offend my sister-in-law less, I will naturally exert less effort.
If you want to be a concubine, I have a way, but it's expensive......"
"The slave and maid bought it." Mingmei blurted out.
Jian Ying narrowed her eyes. "I said it's expensive......"
"Second young lady, make a price." Mingmei resolutely interrupted her.
"Happy." Jian Ying chuckled. "I like to do business with happy people. Seeing that you are full of arrogance, you can come out at a price by yourself.
I'll judge what kind of title I'm going to give you based on the price you offer. ”
Mingmei gritted her teeth. The heart said that she was such a cunning woman, and she actually asked her to make her own price. Isn't she revealing her bottom with just one mouth? After that, it was inevitable that he would be squeezed clean by this woman.
After thinking about it, money is something outside the body, and when she becomes the concubine of the prince, is she still worried about having no silver?
Calculate your net worth, leave enough for the future, and then leave some rewards, and then report a number, "Three hundred taels." ”
Jian Ying laughed, "I only learned today that a noble concubine is only worth three hundred taels." ”
Xueqin and a few others also laughed.
Mingmei's face flushed faintly, "Five hundred taels, no more." ”
Jian Ying stopped laughing, "Five hundred taels can only be a concubine, it's still far from the word 'expensive', you have to think about it." ”
"One...... One thousand taels. Mingmei's voice began to tremble, "I can't take out any more slaves." ”
Jian Ying's mother in her previous life was an expert in bargaining, and when she entered the wholesale market, she didn't care what she bought, starting from her feet and neck, and at the end, more than half of what she could do for a hundred yuan could often be cut. She has listened and watched a lot, not to mention that this bargaining effort is ten out of ten, seven or eight percent is still there.
When the seller says "it really can't be less", "less will be given away", etc., there is often at least half of the profit to be earned.
"Fifteen hundred taels, you can take it if you can take it, and if you can't take it, forget it." She was the answer.
Mingmei's eyes were dark, and she had to take out 1,500 taels, and she had to pawn and exchange, which would hurt the roots. is to be the concubine of the prince, and he can't gather much money for a while.
If you don't have any money in your hands, what can you do to entrap your subordinates and cultivate your own power to fight against Meng Xinniang?
But if you don't take it, you won't get a decent reputation, and you will be low everywhere, even if you have money in your hands, you may not be able to win over people. If it were her, she wouldn't want to follow a master who had no future.
After thinking about it left and right, after all, he couldn't resist the temptation of the concubine ~ bewilderment, "Okay, it's just 1,500 taels." It's just that the slave doesn't have any cash in her hands, and it will take some time to raise it......"
"Then let's write an IOU first." Jian Ying interrupted her.
Xueqin had already prepared pen, ink, paper, inkstone and ink according to the instructions, and when she heard this, she immediately brought it over and put it in front of Mingmei, stared at her and said, "Write." ”
Mingmei picked up the brush with trembling fingers, organized the language, and dipped it in ink to write.
After writing it in the middle of the night, he handed it to Xueqin and showed it to Jian Ying.
Jian Ying swept it, "One more sentence, the deadline is ten days, and the overdue period is doubled." ”
Ming Mei didn't have the spirit to refute, and felt that ten days were enough, so he added it as he said and pressed his handprint on the name.
Xueqin presented it to Jian Ying again, but Jian Ying didn't accept it, "You just keep it, remember to ask for the account in ten days." ”
"Hey." Xueqin happily collected the IOU, glanced at Ming Mei proudly, and said in her heart that she finally had a chance to clean up this.
Ming Mei was already desperate, so she had no scruples, "The slave and maid have already paid, the second young lady can do what the slave and maid want, right?" ”
"Of course." Jian Ying said with a smile, "But before that, I still have a few words of good words, which I should give back to the customer and give it to you for free." ”
Mingmei was suspicious that she was going to repay the debt, so she couldn't help frowning, "Jin Yu's good words are forgiven, let's ask the second young lady to fulfill her promise immediately." ”
"I can only get you a place if I keep my promise, but this golden word can help you keep your reputation for a long time." Jian Ying said seductively, "What about the free, don't you really listen?" ”
