Chapter 61: Returning the Favor
The next day, I was dragged up by Mo Xi and said that the Qinghe sisters and brothers had already come, waiting to see me in the front hall, as if they were going to write some deed of sale.
I got up in a daze, and casually wore a moire shirt to the front hall, I don't know if I've been pretending to be a man for too long or what, I'm used to this dress, and there are only a few women's clothes in the baggage, and the wardrobe is full of men's clothes that Mo Xi customized.
"I've seen Childe." As soon as my right foot stepped into the front hall, my sister and brother bowed down to me.
That Qinghe is no longer yesterday's white linen shirt, but wearing a bud yellow wide-sleeved skirt, and his hair is only braided with a ribbon of the same color, and his face is more delicate than Huajiao, and Aoki is too, wearing an indigo robe, black hair is high, and his face is resolute.
"Come on, don't be so polite, our Xie family doesn't have so many rules." I hurriedly stepped forward to help the two people get up and said softly.
Mo Xi also smiled and said, "Yes, our family is very generous, don't be too restrained." ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs." Qing He nodded slightly, then took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to me, and then said, "This is the deed of sale between the slave and the younger brother, and someone has already been found to write it, so take a look at it." ”
Deed of Sale? This is the first time I've seen someone who has sent a deed of sale to the door, and this sister and brother are really interesting.
I was stunned, took the deed of sale and looked at it, the handwriting was neat, the content was reasonable, and the writing was very clear, but the deadline was actually written for a lifetime of service, which surprised me.
"This, a lifetime of service?"
Seeing that I was suspicious, she smiled tactfully and replied, "Yes! The son saved the slave and maid, and he was supposed to sell himself to bury his father, and he was determined to serve for the rest of his life. ”
"It's unacceptable." Mo Xi heard her say this, and hurriedly spoke.
I know that Mo Xi is afraid, and it will be inconvenient for us to leave in a month, and to escape with two strangers.
"Madam, don't you dislike Qinghe's humble background and unworthy of serving?" She turned to look at Mo Xi, her tone full of sadness.
I really didn't know how to refuse, so I had to sigh, "You stay first, I will keep this deed of sale, you are so smart, you must already know that my wife and I are not from your Qingzhou, and when we leave, I will give you things." ”
"Childe ......"
"Xianggong ......"
I waved my hand, motioned for them to stop talking, and asked Mo Xi to take the sister and brother to the room to clean up, and then stay and think about it in the long run.
This morning, I encountered such a headache, and I really couldn't be idle for a moment.
It's only the third day of Qingzhou, and I just hope that the days ahead can be dull, and there will be no more incidents.
It was already noon when the sister and brother came out of the room, and they should be ready to make lunch, I followed Mo Xi to the kitchen but I had already seen the Qinghe sister and brother busy, she saw us and quickly said that she was a slave, this kind of thing just let her come, Mo Xi was idle after all, so she had to stay and say that she was going to fight, in fact, I knew that she didn't worry about what I ate to fake my hands.
I remember in the palace, once Concubine Xia sent someone to send a snack, forgot to let the maid try it, just tested it with a silver needle, I only tasted a bite and vomited and diarrhea for several days, scared her to cry day and night, from then on, no matter what I ate, she had to keep an eye on it, and she tasted it when no one tried it.
Seeing that the three of them were busy, I was embarrassed to eat white food, so I sat down under the stove and helped light the fire and chat with Aoki.
"How old are you, Aoki?" I picked up a twig from the ground and played with it.
When he saw me sit down, he carefully moved to the side, and then replied with a smile, "Thirteen years old." ”
A baker's dozen? Isn't that just two years younger than me? How to look like a ten-year-old child, thin and short.
"Oh, what about your sister?" His answer was neither humble nor arrogant, nor was he afraid of me, and this kid was really interesting.
Aoki poked the firewood with the tongs in his hand, and the flames burned even more vigorously, "My sister is fifteen years old, if it weren't for my father's sudden ......, my sister would have married this year." ”
"Don't worry, your sister will definitely get married this year." I dropped the branch in my hand and gently patted her on the shoulder.
"Childe, don't laugh." His body stiffened visibly for a while, and then he continued, "In the future, my sister and I will be Childe's subordinates, and we will serve for life." ”
Rubbing his little brain, he laughed, "Am I like a joker?" I'll be out of here in a month, and you and your sister will be free. ”
"Really?" His eyes lit up and he looked at me in disbelief.
"That's nature." Nodding his head, he gave him a reassuring look.
Hearing my affirmative answer, the kid finally opened his mouth and laughed, and kept babbling, "Childe is really a good person, no, no, no, Childe is a nobleman." ”
Aoki and I didn't talk secretly, and the conversation was naturally listened to by the two people who cooked, although Qinghe was busy stir-frying, he still spoke, "Childe's great kindness cannot be repaid, and the little girl will definitely be true to her word." ”
"You said you, why are you so stubborn, my father-in-law said that he wouldn't keep you by his side all the time." Mo Xi was a little unhappy, and the sound of chopping vegetables seemed to be chopping the cutting board.
"Madam, Qinghe doesn't have any extraneous thoughts, just to repay his kindness." When Qing He heard Mo Xi say this, he was stunned in his hand, and he wanted to cry again.
"Hey, stop, stop, stop, stop. Don't cry, I'm most afraid of this, let's talk about it, let's talk about it. I hurriedly stood up and said loudly, I was really afraid that her tears would fall into the meal, and I picked up Aoki again and asked, "This fire is almost alive, isn't it?" ”
Aoki's small body was picked up by me, and he looked up with some difficulty and said, "It should be okay, it's enough to finish this meal." ”
"Okay, accompany me to the yard to plant flowers, let's go." Anyway, without waiting for him to react, he dragged Aoki out, Mo Xi didn't look up at me, and Qing He didn't speak, anyway, I was in a cold sweat, why did I still quarrel.
"Childe, doesn't Madame like my sister?" Aoki didn't know what was going on, but he could see that both of them were unhappy.
