Chapter Twenty-Five: Settling In

The three of them drank and talked happily, and it didn't take long for Emperor Lizong's other attendant to come back with the mother and daughter, it seems that the matter has been done, in fact, it is just a burial of a dead person, as long as there is money, this little thing is nothing at all.

Emperor Lizong and Li Kang and his son were also almost full, and there were still a lot of dishes on the table at this time! Emperor Lizong waved his hand and said, "Wang Wu, Zhang Liu, you two will have dinner with these two women." ”

The mother and daughter kept their heads down and didn't dare to go to the table, after all, they were all poor families, and at this time they were even more sold as servants, where did they sit on the table and eat when the master was still there?

The two attendants also didn't dare to serve at the table, others didn't know, didn't they know? The master in front of them is the current saint, although the emperor let them serve the table, but how dare they? As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and they, the inner guards, are also afraid of the emperor.

Emperor Lizong saw that the two guards were still there and didn't dare to serve the table, so his face sank, "Wang Wu, Zhang Liu, you two still don't sit down?" Hurry up and eat the dishes on the table, you can't waste it, haven't you learned? Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work, and if you don't finish eating the dishes on the table, you will be fined a month's wages! ”

At this time, the two guards also had to listen, you must know that if you don't listen, it will be the crime of bullying the king, and it will kill the head.

The two women also sat down carefully on the table and ate it. In fact, the mother and daughter had been hungry for two days, and their stomachs were already empty at this time, and they couldn't help but swallow when they smelled the aroma of food on the table just now.

Seeing that the two attendants also sat down to eat, the mother and daughter dared to sit down and eat, not to mention a large table of meals, most of which were eliminated by the mother and daughter.

After eating, the mother and daughter hurriedly stepped aside, knelt down to Emperor Lizong and Li Kang and his son, and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Emperor Lizong and Li Kang hurriedly helped the two up, and at this time they found that the mother and daughter were quite good-looking, although there were some dishes, but they couldn't hide their beauty.

Emperor Lizong smiled and said: "You two will be Lord Li's servants from now on, Lord Li is kind, I guess I won't treat you two badly, go with Lord Li!" ”

When it came time to separate, Emperor Lizong was a little reluctant, and Li Xiang also felt that the old man's identity was mysterious but made people feel very close, and he was also a little reluctant.

Emperor Lizong smiled and said: "The old man will say goodbye to you today, and I will see you again in the future!" Remember to take the old man's handwritten letter to Wang Yisun, the old man is still waiting for the good news of the little brother's high school! ”

Li Kang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Yes, thank you, sir!" Say goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again? Take care, sir! ”

Farewell to Emperor Lizong, Li Kang and his son led the mother and daughter home.

Along the way, the mother and daughter kept their heads down and did not speak.

Li Xiang also understands, after all, someone who has just died of his loved ones, and now he has become his own subordinate, he must not dare to say much in front of his master.

When he arrived at home, it was not early, and Li Xiang estimated that according to the time of the future, it should be more than nine o'clock in the evening.

In the hall, Li Xiang lit a candle, and suddenly the whole room became bright.

The mother and daughter still kept their heads down, and they didn't know where to put their hands, so they just stood there at a loss, maybe waiting for the master's family to speak.

Li Kang smiled and said: "You don't have to be afraid, when you get here, you will treat this place as your home." Although you mother and daughter are now the descendants of my Li Mansion, I, Li Kang, will not treat you badly. In this way, you will be responsible for the chores at home, and the monthly money is 500 yuan per person, and food, clothing, and housing are not counted, and of course you have to sign a deed of sale, which is legal. ”

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she hurriedly pulled the girl to her knees and said in a frightened voice: "Master, I'm afraid this is not suitable, you have spent a lot before, and now you have given my mother and daughter a place to stay, how can we afford it!" All we have to do is have something to eat! ”

Li Xiang also knew that in this year of many disasters, refugees fleeing like this are indeed like this, they just want to have food to eat, and they will not ask for this or that at all.

Li Kang smiled and said, "It's okay! In the future, you just need to do things in a down-to-earth manner, this is decided, each person will pay 500 yuan per month, and the employment period will be ten years, and after the deadline is up, you can freely choose to stay or go, so it is decided. Well, what's your name? ”

The middle-aged woman hurriedly replied, "Thank you, sir, for your grace." The slave family is surnamed Wang with her husband, and the villagers call the slave Wang Sanniang, and the daughter of the slave family is nicknamed Xiu'e. The slave family is willing to make cattle and horses for the old man for the rest of his life, just to have something to eat. ”

Li Kang smiled: "Okay, then I'll call you Sanniang from now on!" Xiang'er, you take Sanniang and Xiu'e to settle down, and as for the rest, it's not too early to talk about tomorrow. ”

Lee responded, "Yes, father!" ”

"Sanniang, Xiu'e, come with me." After Li Xiang finished speaking, he raised a candle and took the mother and daughter to settle down.

Speaking of which, this huge Li Mansion was originally lived by Li Kang's father and son, and there were several empty rooms! Now it comes in handy.

Li Xiang took the mother and daughter to a side room, opened the door, there was no one living in it for a long time, and it smelled a little musty, Li Xiang hurriedly said: "Sanniang, I have wronged you to live here for the time being, but you have to clean it yourself, there has been no one living here for a long time." ”

The third lady hurriedly said: "The young master is serious, and the slave family is already very grateful to have a place to live." Young master, go and get busy with your business, rest early. ”

At this time, Li Xiang lit the oil lamp in the room with a candle, and the girl Xiu'e went to clean up the room, Li Xiang saw that Sanniang also carried a package from the boss, which was some torn clothes, and after thinking about it, Li Xiang said to Sanniang: "Sanniang, since you have arrived at our house, you are also the people of the Li family, and going out or something also represents the image of our Li Mansion, so you should throw away your worn-out clothes, and I will give you some silver money tomorrow to buy a few new clothes." ”

"Young master, although these clothes are worn, they can still be worn by sewing and mending, you can take us in, we are grateful, where can we use your money again." Sanniang said gratefully.

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Sanniang, just listen to me!" This is my order, young master! ”

Originally, a few pieces of clothes didn't cost much, if the subordinates were still wearing tattered clothes, wouldn't that affect the image of the Li Mansion? People don't know, they still think that the Li family is so picky, and they don't even buy decent clothes for their subordinates.

Everything was arranged, and Li Xiang left.

Back in the hall, Li Kang was waiting for Li Xiang.

"Xiang'er, are you all settled?" Li Kang asked.

Li Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, father, the child arranged Sanniang and Xiu'e in the side room where the sundries were kept." Also, their clothes are so shabby, and the children told them that they would give them some money tomorrow and buy a few new ones, would you not object? ”

Li Kang said with a smile: "This little thing, my father naturally doesn't object to it, and it won't cost a lot of money." By the way, the old man I met today felt very strange for my father, what do you think of Xiang'er? ”
