Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian, who didn't say much, didn't covet that little bit of cheapness, but liked to be respected everywhere they went. Of course, Li Wenxuan's special treatment of them naturally has his own certain reasons. If he didn't have a plan, he might casually give them the pill for free. The market monopoly price of three Qingxin pills is also close to three hundred taels of silver, which means that a family of five has been spending nearly 30 years.

Subsequently, Li Wenxuan chatted casually with the two of them for a while, pulled the so-called relationship, and then asked Su Meiniang to send them out of the gate. Su Meiniang, who saw off the guests, turned back to the hall to find him, after all, she had a lot of words in her stomach that she wanted to talk to him.

Su Meiniang's feet had just stepped into the threshold, and she was puzzled: "Our family's pills are not the strong pills sold by those people who walk the rivers and lakes outside, juggling and others, how can they be given away casually?" Even if they are the wives of official families, they have to spend money to buy them. That's three hundred taels of silver! ”

The index finger of his left hand scratched Li Wenxuan, who was tickling on his face, not intending to tell what he was thinking and discerning. It's not that I'm afraid that she will leak the news, nor that I don't trust her, but I feel that the time is not ripe enough. The one he did today, barely pulled the relationship between the prefect and the prefect's backyard. If we meet again in the future, we won't be so rusty.

Seeing that Li Wenxuan was smiling and silent, Su Meiniang was even more angry in her heart. The silver in her hand, which was already distressed, flew away like this, her hands crossed her waist with a displeased face, and she continued to nag endlessly: "Three hundred taels of silver!" ”

Looking at her like this, she quickly thought of Li Wenxuan, a little woman who loves money, and a big husband who loves power, and deeply felt that this sentence was a wise saying. I didn't think that Su Meiniang loved money like life, and only wanted to get in and not out. If she was really a miser, she would not have taken the initiative to take out her private money to buy a gift for Liu's birthday a few days ago.

Li Wenxuan especially understands a woman like her who comes from a small family, after all, she has never seen anything decent in the world, so she naturally focuses on the one-third of an acre of land in front of her house. He understands very well that there is no return without investment, and he understands that high risk has high return. The cost of his own elixir, only he knows best, after all, he didn't tell anyone to know the Dao, and in the elixir, except for the essence of Chinese medicinal materials, there will be no Dao cultivation in it.

"If you don't have anything else to do, then I'll go back to my study." Li Wenxuan, who didn't want to reason with her about this issue, cleared his throat and said with a smile: By the way, I want to eat braised fish at noon, you have to remember to do it! ”

"Wait, the slave family has one more thing to talk to you about." Su Meiniang, who knows the severity of the matter, knows that it is irretrievable to fight chickens and eggs, so if she messes with him again, it will only increase the disgust of the other party.

"This roundabout is not your Su Meiniang's style!" Li Wenxuan, who picked up the tea on the table again, drank two sips of tea and said calmly: "Say it!" ”

"Our house is so big, we have to have some more people coming in! Today, for example, is quite embarrassing. It was supposed to be the little maids serving them tea, but they asked Zhu Biao to do this kind of thing. The slave family wants to come, and our family doesn't have no money to buy slaves and maids, so why do you have to be so shabby? Su Meiniang, who walked a few steps forward, sat on a chair next to her.

Li Wenxuan, who put down the tea in his hand, began to be indecent again, and said with a smile: "I know that Mei Niang is very good to me." You're going to buy me a few more pretty little maids to serve me. ”

"Hmph, you're pretty beautiful. Even if I had to buy a few little maids to come back, I would choose all the ugly ones. As for those good-looking girls, the slave family doesn't want any of them. Actually, I think those ugly-looking girls are not only cheaper, but also more diligent and capable. On the contrary, those little girls who think they have two points of beauty, but they will not be so real. Su Meiniang, who got his permission, analyzed it truthfully.

"Don't!" Li Wenxuan, who was really a little worried that she would do that, didn't want to see a room full of maids with not very harmonious looks every day: "Spend a few more silver, let's not be afraid, after all, this thing is out of the blue, and you can earn it back." As for this person, once he enters my house, he is my family, and naturally he will not sell it out again. ”

"The slave family will know that you are the same as all the men outside. You just like good-looking, slim girls. Su Meiniang pointed out bluntly.

Li Wenxuan, who touched his nose, did not deny or admit it, so he chose to acquiesce: "You and Tian'er both look like beauties in the painting." If you are followed by some little maids with huge contrasting appearances, you will also lose face. Therefore, from all aspects of the view, I still prefer some little maids who are not only passable-looking, but also smart. ”

Su Meiniang, who already has a score in her heart, is not a jealous woman, and she is not too worried that the little maid she bought back can climb on her head. She knows something about Li Wenxuan, and knows that he does not love one when she sees one, but a man who pays attention to compatibility and affection.

A woman who can get his favor must first enter his heart. If you want to impress Li Wenxuan just by virtue of your appearance, I'm afraid it's impossible. Su Meiniang understood that the main reason why she was gradually recognized and accepted by him was that she was able to put herself in the shoes of Li Wenxuan and the Li family wholeheartedly.

Su Meiniang said that she only bought back the ugly girl, but it was just a joke. She still thinks about the cleverness of the maid, after all, it is too tiring to talk to stupid people. At home, I don't like to talk to Zhu Biao very much, not only do I feel tired, but I also get very easy to get angry. She knew that if the little maid she bought back was too smart, it wouldn't be a good thing. Therefore, obedient, diligent, and medium-looking girls are the first choice. Otherwise, it depends.

"In the afternoon, why don't you go with the slave family to the people in the city to have a look?" Su Meiniang, who had decided to buy back the slave, wanted to take him with her.

"In this matter, you still go with Tian'er. If you like it, then I have no opinion. However, there is one thing I must make. I value the loyalty of my slave and maid above all else. When he thought of Li Wenxuan, who was standing in front of him with rows of yellow-skinned and malnourished half-grown children, he was worried that he would be kind for a while.

Su Meiniang, who knew that there was a lesson from the Yellow Lotus and Zhang Fugui incidents, said seriously: "The slave family will open their eyes to choose." I will never buy back some slaves and maids who are cunning, eat inside and outside, and sell their masters for glory. Seeing that the matter had been discussed, Li Wenxuan stood up and stretched his waist first, and then walked straight out of the hall.

Then Su Meiniang, who also walked out, found Zhao Tianer in the garden. She knows very well that the ignorant little girl in front of her, who used to be the slave maid of the Li family, is very likely to be the hostess of this family in the future. As for the position of this wife, she is self-aware, and she will not have any wrong thoughts.

Not only is he more than ten years older than Li Wenxuan, but more importantly, he is no longer complete. Having lost her innate competitiveness, she understands what position she should be in. In addition, Su Meiniang really likes Zhao Tianer, so she must assist her not only to sit on, but also to sit firmly in the first position of the hostess of the Li family.

"Sister Su, you're done talking." Notice that Zhao Tian'er, who came to her side, did not continue to feed the golden carp in the pond.

Su Meiniang, who stopped down, happily informed her of the good news: "Wenxuan has agreed to buy some slaves and maids back at home. Then in the future, you and I don't have to do all the chores in the house, such as serving tea and water, cooking on the fire, cleaning the room, etc. We just need to take care of them. ”

Zhao Tian'er, who was not going to live a comfortable life and was happy to stop doing anything, said the most sincere words: "I still like to do those chores." After all, how happy it is to be able to do a little bit of what he can for Brother Wen Xuan. ”

"You're a natural tiredman. Blessed will not be enjoyed. Su Meiniang divided half of the big white steamed bun from her hand, and while tearing off a little bit and throwing it into the fish pond, she persuaded her: "Actually, our family can buy back some slaves and maids to call, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue." Whether it is Wen Xuan or our two sisters, they are not the kind of masters who beat and scold their subordinates at will. When they came to our house, they could not only be fed and clothed, but they were not in danger of being killed. Presumably you won't forget the little maid at Mrs. Liu's birthday banquet that day! How pitiful! ”

Zhao Tianer, who was kind-hearted, was moved by her at once. I remember the events of that day vividly. She was no longer repulsed, and said lightly: "What my sister said is true." ”

Seeing that she no longer had any resistance, Su Meiniang explained objectively and practically with a light smile: "This matter is not only for the happiness of our sisters, but also for the sake of this family and Wenxuan." Today, he is also a famous person, and our family often goes in and out of some official gentry families, so they can't be underestimated by our family's petty family and can't get on the stage. When the slave family thought of letting Zhu Biao, who was five big and three coarse, come to serve tea, what was it called? ”

"Since Brother Wen Xuan has decided, and my sister also supports it, then I agree." Zhao Tian'er, who didn't expect to come to ask for her views and opinions, finally made a positive answer.
