Chapter 593: Entering the Burden
Although Tang Jiuqu felt that something was wrong, when he thought that he could have food every day and didn't have to go around stealing, Tang Jiuqu could still sit down and listen carefully to the other party's request.
Xiao Zhao suddenly frowned: "You go and wash your face, I think your appearance is okay, but it's too dirty." β
Tang Jiuqu felt a sigh in his heart when he heard this, it was obvious that the other party's requirements for appearance were not low, that meant that this young lady was not looking for a duck, right?
Although he Tang Jiuqu is also talented, he is really not ready to sell his body.
If you want to ask him to sell meat, you need at least a roast duck, no, at least a roast duck and a roast chicken, and some wine. This is the minimum requirement, not to mention one less duck leg, even if you die one less penny, it will definitely not work!
Tang Jiuqu walked to the washbasin, and while washing his face, he had already set a price for himself.
Tang Jiuqu washed away the dust on his face, and his handsome appearance was instantly revealed.
In this room, Tang Jiuqu's face seemed to glow.
The fat girl Xiao Zhang's eyes were straight when she saw it, and she almost drooled.
Xiao Zhao licked his lips, nodded again and again, and said with great satisfaction: "Okay, good! β
Saying that, Xiao Zhao reached out to touch Tang Jiuqu's face.
Tang Jiuqu hurriedly avoided Xiao Zhao's hand, what kind of joke was he making, before the price was negotiated, he moved his hands and feet, wanting to eat other people's tofu?
Tang Jiuqu was very dissatisfied with Xiao Zhao.
Xiao Zhao also felt that he was a little out of shape, and withdrew his hand, and then Xiao Zhang said: "My young lady needs you to join our family, and from now on you will be young lady's fiancΓ©." β
Tang Jiuqu frowned when he heard this, and then flatly refused: "I am a serious person, and I will not go to other people's homes." β
Xiao Zhao sneered and said, "Only by taking care of rice every day can we ensure that there is a meat dish." β
Tang Jiuqu's eyes kept blinking, this was too far from his request, his request was a chicken and a duck, and he also had to have wine.
Now it's just a matter of taking care of the rice every day, and there is only one meat dish, Tang Jiuqu definitely can't agree to sell himself so cheaply.
"Good...... Well, you have to eat three meals a day. β
Xiao Zhao's eyes stood and he said coldly: "Three meals, how can you eat so much? At most, twice a day, if you think it's okay, you can stay, if you think it's not good, get out of me now." β
Tang Jiuqu cursed secretly in his heart, and then agreed to it.
This is called a person who is poor and short-minded, a horse is thin and long-haired, although Tang Jiuqu is 10,000 unwilling, but his stomach does not allow refusal. β
Seeing that Tang Jiuqu agreed, Xiao Zhao pouted and said: "In the future, you will live on the floor, the inner room of this room is the residence of the young lady, you must not go in, the side room of this room is my residence, if you have the courage, come in and try it, I will cut off all the little arms and legs for you!"
Tang Jiuqu looked at the floor, although the landlord was simple, but it was also paved with wood that he didn't know what kind of wood, it was very honest and solid, and it shouldn't be too sad to lie here and sleep, at least there was a house that could shelter from the wind and rain.
It's much better than lying on the roof. Tang Jiuqu gritted his teeth, a manly man has to be able to stretch and bend, although he gave less food, but Tang Jiuqu didn't plan to be a son-in-law here for the rest of his life, Tang Jiuqu just wanted to eat here and figure out how to leave this city.
Now that he has a serious identity, maybe he can find some way through this identity.
However, Tang Jiuqu began to worry about his future at this time, looking at the fact that the young lady's residence was completely incomparable with the surrounding magnificent houses, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a person with some weight in this wealthy family.
Tang Jiuqu doesn't understand anything else, but he knows too much about some things in a wealthy family, after all, he was born in a wealthy family, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he knows a lot about the rules and dirt in the wealthy family.
Thinking of this, Tang Jiuqu couldn't help but feel a little homesick.
It has been several years since he left the mortal world and entered the fairy world, and he doesn't know what the situation is at home or how his father is now.
Tang Jiuqu sighed slightly, and then stopped thinking about these things.
Just as he was about to ask about the situation of the family, a sneering voice came from outside the house: "Liu Ruyi, what are you doing with this girl lying at the door?"
Tang Jiuqu turned his head to look at the door, and saw a black shadow flashing through the crack of the closed door, and at this time Tang Jiuqu knew that the woman who said that she had something to do and left the room was called Liu Ruyi.
"No big or small dead girl, I'm also your sister anyway, who can control me, and it won't be your turn, what do you care about me and what I am doing at the door, what are you doing outside my house?" Liu Ru asked-for-tat. β
When Xiao Zhao heard the conversation outside, he immediately stood up and said to Tang Jiuqu, "You wait here, don't come out if I don't tell you." β
After speaking, Xiao Zhao walked out of the room quickly, and then heard Xiao Zhao's voice sound: "Second Miss, you are here, I don't know what we need to do." β
Xiao Zhao is like a different person, his voice has become sweet, and there is even a hint of flattery.
The woman on the other side, known as the second miss, said in a cold voice: "Xiao Zhao, you also used to be my maid, but you were unlucky and were arranged by the side of such a waste, you really suffered, why don't you come back to me, follow me at least worry-free food and clothing, and will never let you wear clothes with patches." β
Tang Jiuqu knew that there were four patches on Xiao Zhao's clothes, some large and some small, all of which were on the elbows and knees, which were obviously injuries caused by perennial labor, not the kind of accidental scratches.
This also proves that Xiao Zhao is not only in distress, but also quite tired and hardworking.
At this time, Liu Ru did not speak and became silent.
Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "Second Miss, I know you are good to me, but I am also doing well here in the eldest lady, thank you for your trouble." β
The second lady snorted coldly: "You girl deserves to be punished, forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you, my mother has spoken, ask you to go over, the people of the Lin family are here, after discussing the dowry today, they will come to the door tomorrow to propose." I see that my mother is eager to marry you off immediately, and as soon as you leave, our Liu family will stop. β
Hearing this, Liu Ru suddenly said: "It's not so easy to let me go, my father said at the beginning, my husband can find it by himself, and no one else can ask." β
The second lady laughed and said: "Yes, my father said this, but he also said that you will be raised until you are 19 years old, if you still don't marry at the age of 19, you have to listen to the arrangements of the housemother, I said that you are also dead-eyed, the Lin family has a big business, and it is not worse than our family at all, although the other party is not a descendant of the Lin family when you marry the past, but it can also make you worry about food and clothing, you shirk this today and that tomorrow, is it possible to really find you a little white face who has a hard head to my Liu family?"
Tang Jiuqu was immediately unhappy when he heard this, who was the little white face scolded?
What's wrong with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is above board, Lao Tzu eats by the flesh, why do you look down on Lao Tzu?
Tang Jiuqu immediately wanted to go out again, but after thinking about it, he stopped, after all, he didn't know if it was the time for him to appear on the stage.
Although it was only a few words, Tang Jiuqu relied on his experience of living in the big family for a lifetime, and he still roughly guessed some clues.
The owner of the Liu family should have just died, and the housewife of this family wants to marry Liu Ru out immediately, presumably for no reason, maybe it is for the distribution of property, after all, the daughter who marries out cannot get any property.
And Liu Ru didn't want to get married, she just wanted to find a son-in-law to come to the door, just to stay in the Liu family and share part of the Liu family's property.
Tang Jiuqu has seen and heard too many such dramas, and he can clearly speculate on the cause and effect with his eyes closed.
Liu Ruyi's voice came again: "You go and tell your mother, I have found Chenglong's fast son-in-law, and the other party is also willing to join my Liu family, as for the marriage of the Lin family, I think it is more appropriate for you to go, so it is better to ask your mother to marry you off." β
When the second lady heard Liu Ruyi's words, she obviously became very surprised, and her tone was full of shock: "What did you say?
Tang Jiuqu frowned slightly in the room.
Liu Rushi said coldly: "Liu Ruzhen, you shut up for me, he actually entered my family, it is your brother-in-law, I don't care what you think in your heart, you have to call him brother-in-law, this is the rule, you have to abide by it." β
Liu Ruzhen's surprised voice sounded: "You really found it? How is this possible? I don't believe it, you call him out to show me, you shouldn't just find someone from the outside called Hanako and treat him as a baby, right? If it's a person with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, a rotten sore on the top of his head, and a lame drool, don't you think I call him a brother-in-law, don't say I won't call him brother-in-law, and the entire Liu family will never recognize him as the son-in-law of the Liu family." β
Liu Ru was a little speechless for a while, Tang Jiuqu was really a beggar he picked up from the side of the road.
Liu Ruzhen saw that Liu Ru was no longer talking, and her eyes immediately became extremely bright: "You really found a beggar to come back and make up the numbers, right?"
"Come on, come on, call that guy out of here, I'm going to see how ugly he looks. β
Liu Ru was silent, he really hadn't seen Tang Jiuqu's real appearance, although Tang Jiuqu's face was too dirty and could only see a silhouette, Liu Ru felt that Tang Jiuqu's face should not be too bad, but whether it was too bad or not, Liu Ru was not sure in his heart.
At this time, Xiao Zhao spoke: "Young master, the second young lady of my family is here, please come out to meet." β
Xiao Zhao had seen Tang Jiuqu's face, and he was very confident in Tang Jiuqu, so he directly overstepped his behalf, and asked Tang Jiuqu to come out.
Tang Jiuqu naturally understood that it was time, he was going to start pretending!
