Chapter 222: Concubine Lian'er
As soon as he said that the checkout manager immediately jumped out and said: "Master Hou, these jade jewelry cost five thousand taels of silver, but you are our honored guest, so I can give you a six-fold discount, only three thousand taels of silver!" ”
Li Yao looked at the steward and asked, "Is this the lowest price you gave?" ”
The steward said with a bitter face: "Master Hou, I won't tell you, in our store, the minimum is only a 20% discount, I see that you can buy jewelry for your mother-in-law in person, and I was moved by you, so I quoted this price!" ”
Li Yao said lightly: "If my mother-in-law comes over and asks about the price of this set of jade, do you know what to say?" ”
How could the housekeeper not understand what Li Yao meant, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou bought this set of jade jewelry at a price of 30,000 taels of silver in my store, what a bold person!" ”
Li Yao nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are very good!" ”
The housekeeper knows that men are people with good faces, so he specially gave Li Yao enough face, so Li Yao will be satisfied! The steward can give Li Yao such a low price because he wants Li Yao to leave quickly, don't let Li Yao make trouble in Yushizhuang, Li Yao's identity is very special, if he finishes the trouble, he will turn his head back to the fiefdom, even if he wants him to lose money, he doesn't know where to look!
As soon as Li Yao went out with the jewelry, the steward of the Jade Village let out the words, and Ning Hou Ye bought a set of jewelry for his mother-in-law at a price of 30,000 taels of silver!
The jade village is full of people who are either rich or noble, and there are many friends of the prime minister's wife, so the news that Li Yao spent 30,000 taels of silver to buy jewelry for his mother-in-law also spread quickly!
It's not that Li Yao doesn't want to buy expensive ones, but Li Yao has an army of 300,000, although he has just finished extorting five million taels of silver from the second prince of the Liang Dynasty, but there are so many troops, Li Yao really doesn't dare to spend money indiscriminately, and buying gifts is just a thought, Li Yao's identity is so noble, what to buy, the prime minister's wife will be happy, not to mention that the one she buys is her favorite!
Li Yao returned home with the jewelry, Yu Linlin was still putting on makeup, Li Yao was surprised: "More than an hour has passed, you are still makeup!" ”
Yu Linlin stuck out her little tongue and said, "It's okay anyway, I don't know what to do, I can only put on makeup!" ”
Li Yao looked at Yu Linlin, who had finished putting on makeup, and sure enough, her appearance was unbelievable, Li Yao smiled and said: "Okay, little beauty, stop putting on makeup, you are so beautiful now that even a blind man will drool when he sees it!" ”
Yu Linlin said shyly: "Husband, what do you say!" ”
Li Yao looked at the sky and estimated that it was already early, so he said: "Linlin, let's go, my father-in-law should have already gone down early!" ”
As soon as Yu Linlin heard that she was about to leave, she immediately urged: "Lian'er, is the makeup painting good?" ”
Lian'er took the small bronze mirror and said, "Sister, you are the most beautiful now!" ”
Yu Linlin looked at herself in the small bronze mirror and said with a smile: "Lian'er, I've worked hard for you today!" ”
Lian'er said: "This is my sister's original beauty!" ”
Li Yao said: "Okay, don't look in the mirror, let's go quickly!" ”
The guards have already prepared the carriage and packed the gifts, Li Yao took Yu Linlin into the carriage, and Lian'er was standing next to the carriage, now the weather is cold, and there are small snowflakes floating outside, Li Yao said: "Lian'er, get on the carriage!" ”
Lian'er hurriedly said: "Master Hou, this is not good, Lian'er is a maid, how can she sit with the master in the carriage!" ”
Li Yao didn't care so much, and said, "Don't even listen to my words?" Hurry up and get up! ”
Lian'er hurriedly said: "Master Hou, I beg you, I can't get into the carriage, this is in the national capital, no more than other places, I'm going to get in the carriage, I'll be killed!" ”
Yu Linlin also said: "Husband, unless you take Lian'er as a concubine, otherwise Lian'er can't get into the carriage, on the way here, because no one pays attention, it's okay for Lian'er to stay in the carriage, but now in the national capital, the rules must not be broken!" ”
Lian'er has served Li Yao for more than a year, and she has followed Li Yao to many places, and the management of the Hou Mansion is also very good, Li Yao has long regarded her as her own, and Lian'er is a dowry girl, if she doesn't marry Li Yao, she can't marry someone else, unless Li Yao gives it to someone else, and Li Yao will definitely not do such a thing as giving a concubine, so he simply said: "Lian'er, I decided to accept you as a concubine, you can get in the carriage now!" ”
Lian'er looked at Li Yao in surprise and said happily: "Master Hou, is what you said true?" ”
Li Yao nodded and said, "I've never told a lie, you can come up now!" ”
Yu Linlin was also secretly happy, Lian'er is her own maid, if she is taken as a concubine by Li Yao, she will definitely support herself, it turns out that although Lian'er manages the affairs of the Hou Mansion, her identity is a subordinate after all, and many things are not properly managed, this time she is taken by Li Yaona as a concubine, with Li Yao's instructions and her own support, Lian'er will definitely be able to further control the Hou Mansion, and then the two flat wives will not be able to go against themselves!
Yu Linlin looked at Lian'er still standing in the snow, and hurriedly said, "Lian'er, my husband has decided to take you as a concubine, why are you still standing outside stupidly?" Why don't you come in and warm up! ”
Lian'er said 'oh, oh' twice, and got into the carriage, but after getting into the carriage, she didn't dare to look at Li Yao, so she could only turn her back to Li Yao, although Lian'er was Li Yao's sleeping maid before, but she was never recognized, and now after being accepted as a concubine by Li Yao, she is a woman who is recognized by Li Yao, which makes Lian'er very happy and shy!
Yu Linlin said to Li Yao at this time: "Husband, although you have decided to take Lian'er as a concubine, but Lian'er is still from my Yu Mansion after all, so you still have to tell your father and let them know, so that Lian'er's slavery can be canceled!" ”
Li Yao nodded and said: "I know this, I will tell my father-in-law when I go back, in fact, I have been thinking about Lian'er as a concubine for a long time, Lian'er ran with me from the capital to Lu County, and when she ran to Yi County, it really hurt her, so even if it is to compensate her, you have to give her a name!" ”
Lian'er hurriedly said: "Master Hou, this is what I should do!" ”
Li Yao pretended to be angry and said, "Do you still call me Master Hou now?" ”
Lian'er blushed and whispered, "Husband! ”
Li Yao laughed, that's right, this family still depends on you, it turns out that your name in managing the family is not right, and you have a reputation for these, but you must take care of the family for me!
Lian'er hurriedly said: "Sister, housekeeper, I'll help on the side!" ”
Li Yao smiled: "It's okay, anyway, I want family harmony, you must do a good job!" ”
Lian'er and Yu Linlin nodded at the same time and said, "Husband, please rest assured, we will not let you down!" (To be continued.) )
