After listening to her narration, Shen Mengxi sighed with emotion and asked Li Suniang what her plans were.

Li Suniang expected Ai Ai, knelt down and said: "The princess said that day, if she can't stand it, she will be a slave to the princess, and the princess saved the life of the concubine with her own hands. There is no other way now, so I beg the princess for mercy, exempt my son from slavery, let him study for the imperial examination, and serve His Highness as a cow and a horse! After speaking, he paused, knocked on the mat, and made a thumping sound.

"Don't knock! Speak well. ”

"The princess agreed!" Li Suniang raised her head with joy.

"I have too many slaves." This is the truth, if she didn't hate human trafficking, she really wanted to lose half of her slaves. Moreover, the sale of slaves and maids in the princess's mansion will also give people a signal that they can't live a life, she didn't dare to act rashly, so she could only try to arrange personnel reasonably and do her best. "So, what are you good at?"

Li Suniang's face was disgraced, and she sat down on the table dejectedly, if she was really good at it, even if it was cooking, she would not even be able to support her son. Literate. She struggled to speak.

"Well, literacy, it's good. I'm going to do something big and need a literate and trustworthy person. ”

Qingfeng listened at the door, his eyes moved, the slaves and maids around the lady were literate, where was there a lack of this.

Li Suniang raised her head and looked at Shen Mengxi expectantly, and felt rude to look at her, so she lowered her head, "The slave obeys the princess's orders." ”

"Hmm. Qingfeng, wait for a few times to take a few pieces of money and give it to Mrs. Li first, then go back and draw up a contract and sign it with Mrs. Li. ”

Li Suniang didn't seem to understand, did she understand what this sentence meant, and the princess didn't want her to sell herself?

Shen Mengxi looked at her stupid look and smiled, "You are not suitable to be a slave, I will sign a contract with you first, you will work for me for a few years, and when Zhou Xiaolangjun grows up, if you don't want to renew the contract, you can just go home and enjoy happiness." ”

Li Suniang's tears came out of her eyes, and she fell to the ground and did not move for a long time.

On the way home, Qingfeng asked with some disgust: "Then Li Suniang should have made cattle and horses for the lady to repay the grace of saving her life, why did the lady still give her money?" Why don't you accept her deed of sale? ”

Shen Mengxi looked at Lu'er, "Lu'er said, why did A-Niang do this?" ”

"A-Niang saw that the person was not sincere, she was just in trouble recently, and once her life improved, she was still unwilling to be a slave." Lu'er thought for a moment and said.

Shen Mengxi nodded, "A person like her, who looks high, goes to dig graves and rob graves." A-Niang didn't want her to be a slave from beginning to end. Besides, there is no one in this world who is willing to be a slave, who doesn't want to live freely? ”

Qingfeng kowtowed again and again on the side, "The maid has grown up with the lady since she was a child, and she is willing to be a slave for the lady for a lifetime!" ”

Tut! This pulls out another one!

"What are you doing! I didn't take you as a slave at all, so I said it to your face. After speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull her, and said with some tears and laughter: "What did you say you followed and mixed with!" “

Qingfeng sat down on his knees again, and a teardrop rolled down, "The maid is wrong." ”

"Why does A-Niang still sign a contract with her, A-Niang doesn't owe her!" Lu'er asked.

"Maybe it was A-Niang who saved her with her own hands, but she was a little unbearable."

"It's like saving Yan Twelve?" Lu'er hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Yes, A-Niang can't see it, but if she sees it, she has the ability to help, but she can't bear to think that she doesn't know. Moreover, the affairs of the Yan family at that time were somewhat related to A-Niang. ”

Li Sanlang said that he heard His Majesty and Shangguan Wan'er talk about A-Niang, and felt that A-Niang was very worthless, and he had a reputation for raising faces, but he didn't use it. Why don't you use it? Also, how do you use noodles? ”

Qingfeng heard that he hurriedly reached out to cover Lu'er's mouth, and Lu'er struggled and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Qingfeng, what are you doing?" I'm talking to A-Niang! ”

"Ah Niang had, no, Ah Niang has always been very concerned about reputation, and she doesn't want to have a flaw, but how can a person be accepted by all the people in the world, really fake, whitewashed, splashed, inevitable, Ah Niang has spent many, many years before I figured out that people can't ignore fame and do whatever they want, but they don't have to stick to fame, and give up some things that should be done."

Looking at Lu'er as if she understood or not, Shen Mengxi said: "At that time, A-Niang felt that saving a life was the most important. As for what others say, it doesn't matter, because those are others. ”

******

Shen Mengxi prepared for three months, and finally opened Chang'an Newspaper around the winter solstice.
