Chapter Twenty-Five: Living Color
She opened and closed her mouth to be Fang Ye, a little slave, who put herself in an extremely lowly position, as a modern person, Fang Yuan was very embarrassed when she heard it, and shook her head and said to her, "Xiao Yuan, I'm not used to being called Fang Ye, and you don't have to call yourself a little slave, I call you Xiao Yuan, and you call me Gongzi and Young Master." ”
Xiao Yuan looked up at him in amazement, although he couldn't guess his thoughts, but he still obediently changed his words, "Yes, Childe." ”
The two were eating dinner, and Fang Yuan also inquired about Xiao Yuan's past by the way.
She was the death of both parents, eight or nine years old by her uncle and sister-in-law sold to the big tooth shop in Suzhou Mansion, because of her outstanding appearance since she was a child, the tooth shop gave her special training, entertainment etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, skills and calculations are all understandable, and even in order to sell at a good price in the future, she is also closely protected, not allowed to contact with any man, and must maintain a pure daughter body before selling.
After three or four years of hard cultivation, Xiaoyuan has become the most valuable little thin horse in the tooth shop.
This time, Yaxing heard that there was a big money in the capital to buy a beauty, and immediately decided to sell her for a big price.
Qin Zhan had taken a fancy to her at a glance when he chose a thin horse before, but the price of the tooth shop was 1,000 taels of silver, and Qin Zhan couldn't afford to buy it if he wanted to, so he decided to leave it to Fang Yuan, and ordered her to serve Fang Yuan to drink first, and take a look at Fang Yuan's attitude.
At the banquet that night, Fang Yuan did not particularly refuse Xiao Yuan's service, and Qin Zhan, who was secretly observing words and feelings, knew that there was a play, until Xu Hua was rejected for sending money to Fang Yuan, he decided to make friends and found Qin Zhan.
Xu Hua and Qin Zhan hit it off, so they bought Xiaoyuan at a high price of 1,000 taels of silver and placed it in the women's pile, until they arrived in the Gyeonggi area, so that Fang Yuan knew the truth.
Fang Yuan silently listened to Xiao Yuan's words, but he was a little worried, leaving Xiao Yuan as evidence of collusion with Xu Hua, the owner of the peach garden, and now he had a stalemate with Tian Hongyu, but he couldn't fall into the handle anymore, and was attacked by Tian Hongyu and other opponents with ulterior motives.
He thought about it, weighed the pros and cons, safety first, and still couldn't take her back to the capital, "Xiaoyuan, if you don't want to go to the capital, I can send you back to Suzhou Mansion and go home." ”
Xiao Yuan was repeatedly rejected by him, his eyes were slightly red, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't have a home anymore, Childe bought me, and Childe's home will be my home in the future." ”
Fang Yuan saw that she was good at talking and not listening, so he deliberately scolded with a straight face, "What can you do, I want to spend money to support you?" ”
Xiao Yuan hurriedly began to promote himself and said, "Childe, I know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!" ”
Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are compulsory skills for cultivating little thin horses, but Fang Yuan's attainment in these hedonistic things is really limited, so he is not interested in the slightest, he shook his head and said, "I am a soldier, I only know swords and guns, and I am not interested in these girls' things." ”
Xiao Yuan thought for a while, and then said, "I will also count, settle accounts, and take care of the family wealth for my son." ”
In addition to teaching piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the tooth shop will also teach them counting and bookkeeping, which can not only warm the quilt for the rich businessman, but also manage the accounts.
Fang Yuan is now shy in his pocket, and the eight hundred taels of gold of the gold people's booty after the partition were all spent on the purchase of night vision devices and drones, and there were only a few dozen taels of gold and more than a hundred taels of silver in his pocket, so he said, "I only have a few hundred taels of silver at home, and I can't put a table on the whole end, so I don't need to take care of the accounts." ”
Xiao Yuan touched the nails one after another at him, and said hesitantly, "Then, I can also take care of the housework for my son and take care of Gao Tang!" ”
Fang Yuan saw that she was still not giving up, and said with a smile, "I am a small courtyard, and there is only one elderly old servant in the family, and if you follow me, you will endure hardships, and the living conditions are probably not as good as those of you." Besides, I only have less than five taels of silver a month, and I can't afford to support you. ”
He saw that Xiao Yuan's pure little face was full of frustration, and comforted him, "When you return to the capital, I will arrange for you to go to a rich and noble family, and you will have a settled life." ”
Xiao Yuan bit Sakura's lip lightly, staring at the table, noncommittal.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Fang Yuan seemed to be a little moved, so he said, "Xiao Yuan, I'll just take you as a promise, go back to the room and rest!" ”
Xiao Yuan hesitated to get up, and walked slowly to the door, Fang Yuan looked at her slender back, and was still reluctant to send away such a little beauty, but everything was important in the overall situation, and no matter how reluctant he was, he could only endure the pain of love.
Xiao Yuan walked to the door of the room, suddenly turned around and returned to the table, blinking his eyes as clear as autumn water, and said softly, "Childe, I have always had a puzzled question in my heart, can you answer me?" ”
Fang Yuan didn't know what she was doing, nodded and said, "Ask!" ”
Xiao Yuan pursed his lips and asked, "I heard in Suzhou Mansion that the brocade guards of the imperial court are eunuchs, is this true?" ”
Whether Jinyiwei is a eunuch or not, not only this little girl can't figure it out, but even modern TV dramas often make Jinyiwei a eunuch, which is a matter of 'man's dignity', Fang Yuan has to correct whether Jinyiwei is a real man, "Since Emperor Wanli, although Jinyiwei is under the jurisdiction of Dongchang, it is different from Dongchang. The head of the East Factory is the factory governor and the eunuch of the inner court; The head of the Jinyi Guard is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the guard of the inner court, and a veritable man. There must be no confusion in the future. ”
He patiently explained a lot to Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan pointed to his face, listened as if he looked like it, and nodded incessantly, "But hearing is false, seeing is believing!" How can Childe prove it? ”
Fang Yuan was completely useless at this time, and asked rhetorically, "What proof do you want?" ”
Xiao Yuan pouted, and suddenly smiled slyly, "Childe took me home, I observed for some time, and I will know if Jinyiwei is a eunuch!" ”
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, only then did she realize that she was taken to the pre-dug trap by Xiao Yuan, she simply knew that Jinyiwei was not a eunuch, and deliberately came to stimulate Fang Yuan to enter the trap.
This little girl is really a little smart, and she is really likable.
Since she wanted to stay in every possible way, Fang Yuan thought that the seventh sister-in-law was old, and her hands and feet were not dexterous, and it was difficult for one person to take care of herself and Cao Huachun, so it was better to take him back, at least she could give the seventh sister-in-law a hand.
As for whether Tian Hongyu will use this matter to play on the topic when he returns to the capital, Xiaoyuan's existence is just an excuse, even if he doesn't have this excuse, Tian Hongyu will still find other excuses, and the soldiers will block the water and cover it!
He deliberately kept a straight face, got up in anger, and raised his right hand high, "Dead girl, you dare to play tricks on me?" ”
"I know it's wrong, don't be angry!"
Xiao Yuan lowered his gaze in fright, his nose was sore, and tears dripped on the table.
Fang Yuan's raised right hand lightly landed on her pink face, pinching the pink and smooth little face, "Take you back first, and then slowly fix you!" ”
Xiao Yuan realized that he was not really angry, and promised not to give her away again, so he immediately broke into tears and laughed, looking at him with teary eyes, "You don't need to go home, Childe can fix my anger tonight!" ”
Such a naked seduction?!
Fang Yuan was stunned, this little girl, her casual words were full of ambiguity that made men think about it, and it was really an irresistible temptation.
He looked at Xiao Yuan's immature face, sighed deeply, forced down his impulse, and sat back on the chair, "Xiao Yuan, you go back and have a good rest first, there are still a few bumpy days to go, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep well before I arrive in the capital." ”
Xiao Yuan saw that he didn't let him stay overnight to serve, although he was surprised, but he still bowed meekly, "I will come back tomorrow to serve Gongzi to get up, and Gongzi will rest in peace soon." ”
Fang Yuan looked at her departing back, and couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness, when he met this difficult Xiao Yuan, he couldn't cry or laugh, but he was even more happy.
Before, he thought that a thousand taels of silver to buy a woman was too expensive, but after the first contact with Xiao Yuan, he deeply felt that it was not too much of a loss to bring such a lively elf back, not to mention one thousand taels, two thousand, three thousand taels, in fact, it was worth it.
