Act 102 The Gift
After confirming that Ling'er understands Spanish or Portuguese, which is always a foreign language, Guan Kunyu is much more relieved, no matter what language she knows, it is a practical foreign language after all, seven taels of silver to buy a translator, this price is simply worth it!
In the Ming Dynasty, it was much more difficult to find a translator who understood a foreign language than in later generations!
"Okay, you will be responsible for teaching me Yi when you have time in the future! ...... per month Well...... I'll give you a tael of silver, and in addition, add five dollars a month's money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Ling'er nodded expressionlessly, not looking happy at all.
In the Ming Dynasty, selling oneself to be a maid is still different from being a slave, even if it is sold to be a maid, it is also necessary to have a monthly salary of silver, this is the rule, one or two or five dollars is a good number, it can be regarded as the salary of a senior maid.
"Can you tell me about your father?"
Ling'er shook her head slowly, still not having a good face.
Guan Kunyu sighed helplessly, and didn't plan to ask anything from the other party's mouth for the time being.
He picked up a plate of fried meat and took it to the window, and then beckoned to Ling'er.
"Ling'er, come here, stand here and eat."
Ling'er was a little dazed, she didn't know what medicine Guan Kunyu was selling in the gourd, but as a maid, she still walked over obediently. And since the table has been divided, it can be eaten openly, and after so long, she is really hungry.
Guan Kunyu looked at Ling'er who was standing in front of her, then shook her head, raised her hand to wrap her arms around Ling'er's waist and gently put it on the windowsill, so that half of her buttocks sat on the windowsill, and then shook her head and let her look out of the window.
After looking at it, after reading it, I went back and forth several times to get a satisfactory result.
"Okay, Ling'er, you can eat like this, pay attention to maintaining this posture and not moving."
Ling'er turned her head and stared at Guan Kunyu blankly for a long time, but Guan Kunyu didn't give her the explanation she wanted, just turned around and walked to the side of the bed, took out a strange shelf from the luggage under the bed, and then opened the shelf, sandwiched a piece of paper, picked up a strange wooden pen and began to write and draw on the paper.
Guan Kunyu ate and painted, and when he finished the last stroke, he didn't realize that the sunset had only the last afterglow left.
Guan Kunyu, who didn't realize that he had used it for so long, smiled embarrassedly and said, "Tired, I've finished painting here, Ling'er, you can come down." ”
Hearing Guan Kunyu's words, Ling'er was pardoned, and quickly put down her already soreness and numb legs, and just stood and twisted her neck that was almost cramping. She just stood there, not daring to move even a moment—there was no place in her body that wasn't sore, and the slightest movement was terrible.
That's it, because she has a good foundation for long-term dance practice, and if she were replaced by an ordinary person, she would have been unable to bear it for a long time.
Guan Kunyu gave Ling'er a princess hug with an apologetic face, Ling'er wanted to break free, but at this time, she didn't have any strength, just lifted her leg slightly, and the feeling of soreness, numbness, swelling and pain made her stop quickly, and she could only stare at Guan Kunyu with vigilant and even angry eyes, but her body was honestly at the mercy.
Gently put Ling'er on the bed, took out the fire sickle and lit the lamp and candle to make the light in the room much better, Guan Kunyu took down the sketch of the new work and took it to Ling'er's hand.
"How's that, is it pretty?"
In the picture is a girl sitting by the window, her right hand sticking out of the window and letting the bird stop at her fingertips, looking at the bird tenderly, and smiling quietly on her mouth.
Looking at the girl on the paper who was about to come to life at any time, Ling'er opened her mouth in surprise.
"What's in here...... Be...... I? ”
Guan Kunyu nodded and asked again, "Is it good-looking?" ”
Ling'er nodded, and there was finally a trace of vitality in her originally lifeless eyes.
"If you like it, give you a gift for the first time, and if you don't like it, it's a sin."
"Gifts!?" Ling'er screamed in surprise and looked at Guan Kunyu with a puzzled expression, "Give it to me?" ”、
"yes."
"Yes...... But I'm the young master's maid, how can I ...... How can it be ......"
"Well, you're my maid, and then?" Guan Kunyu smiled, "If you think it's inappropriate to send this word, then I will reward you." ”
Ling'er was even more dazed.
"But Ling'er didn't do anything?"
"Think about it, if you weren't standing there, would I be able to draw this?"
Ling'er shook her head.
"Isn't that right, I wouldn't have been able to paint this painting without your hard work, so I'll reward you with this painting."
"Yes...... But this is what the young master painted? ”
"Well, I painted it, I painted it for you."
Ling'er felt a little dizzy, and she couldn't figure out the logical relationship.
Guan Kunyu laughed, rolled up the painting and stuffed it into Ling'er's hand, and said with a smile: "You just take it, it is your greatest credit to have a beauty like you as my model, and I am willing to paint as many paintings for you." ”
Ling'er blushed, she didn't know why she always felt that her face was so hot, and she turned her head to the side of the wall shyly, not daring to look at Guan Kunyu's eyes again.
"I ...... Ling'er is ugly, not a beauty. And also...... What is a model? ”
"Ling'er, you are not ugly at all, this is a matter of knowledge, young master, I am well-informed, I can naturally recognize your beauty, others can't! Maxima often has it but Bole doesn't often have it, that's what it means. As for the models...... Belch...... It's the kind of pose you just made me draw, and that's the model. ”
Ling'er nodded as if she didn't understand, then shook her head wildly, and finally muttered in a mosquito-like voice.
"Young Master and others...... It's different. ”
Guan Kunyu laughed: "Of course it's different!" Is there such a person in the world? ”
Before Guan Kunyu finished laughing, the door was opened.
"Derpy, what's so funny, we heard it outside the room."
Pushing the door in, it was Chen Jiru and Xu Guangqi who entered, Chen Jiru's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw Ling'er on the bed.
"Yo, I bought a maid, it seems that it is a good thing for me and Brother Xu to delay Derpy to stay with you."
When Ling'er saw someone coming, she jumped up and saluted the two respectfully, but her face returned to a cold expression.
The two of them carefully looked at Ling'er.
Xu Guangqi: "That's good, beautiful embryo!" ”
Guan Kunyu smiled with satisfaction, no wonder Xu Guangqi can be so close to foreigners in the future, it is really not for nothing!
Chen Jiru looked at Xu Guangqi and Guan Kunyu in horror, and couldn't help shrinking his body: "The taste of the two of you...... That's it, the Tao is different, and it doesn't conspire with each other...... You're too old, it's really time to buy a few servants to serve, anyway, you're not a little Tao Zhu Gong, just a little silver. ”
