Chapter Ninety-Nine: Selling Yourself
When looking at the crying woman in front of him, under the wrinkled eyes of Steward Qi, there was unconcealed rejection in his eyes.
"There is no shortage of slaves and maids in our Guogong Mansion for the time being, if you want to ask for an errand, you can go to the Zhou Mansion, you can go there to hang your name, if you want to buy some slaves to go back, you will choose them, when you see the owner who really needs it, you can also talk to the same person about your current situation, and ask the steward there to give you an errand first."
As he spoke, Steward Qi's eyes couldn't help but look at Bai Wanyin's body, he knew that most of them were here to get close to their little son, Bai Wanyin's clothes were not expensive, and he couldn't see what the material was, but under that pitiful look, he was not at all depressed and panicked.
Where is it like he really can't afford to eat, and he wants to sell himself into slavery.
It is not unheard of in the past that such a young lady wants to get close to their little son, but it is of no practical use.
After rejecting Bai Wanyin, Steward Qi thought about closing the door, and at night, the old Duke of Qi and his wife had already returned, and it was time to lock it up and sleep.
It's okay to let Steward Qi get up early, but it's unbearable to stay up late.
I don't want Bai Wanyin to make up my mind, and I want to stay in the Qi State Mansion anyway!
At the beginning, the shopkeeper of Yaxiangju laughed at her daydreaming, she was not convinced, so she quit Yaxiangju's errand and went to the front of the Duke of Qi, although she would not be able to starve to death without a mouthful of food, but now she has no way out.
She must stay in the Qi State Mansion, and she must make Qi Wenyuan notice her and like herself.
Otherwise......
She's just a joke.
In the future, if she has no face to return to Yaxiangju, she is afraid that she will have to suffer some hardships in front of her family.
Bai Wanyin quickly stepped forward and grabbed the Qi housekeeper who was about to enter the door, and even took advantage of the situation before the gate of the Qi State Mansion was completely closed, and squeezed in directly, "Steward Qi, the slave and maid really have a last resort, for this big Qi State Mansion, the slave and maid are just a dispensable person, but for the slave and maid, the Qi State Mansion is a place that can give the slave and maid a place to settle down, and please ask the Qi housekeeper to open your grace and take in the slave and maid!" ”
"The slave and maid really don't want anything, just want to be able to reward the slave and maid for a mouthful of food, and not let the slave and maid starve to death!"
"No matter what dirty work you do, the slave can do it, and the slave is willing to do anything, as long as you promise to let the slave stay......"
"Please, steward, please......"
"You're a good person, so you agreed to take the slave!"
Thump.
Kung Fu of speaking.
Bai Wanyin even knelt directly in front of Steward Qi, pulling his sleeve and begging, "If you don't take in the slave maid, then the slave and maid will only have a dead end, and the slave and maid will die in front of you!! ”
Seeing that the old Qi housekeeper in front of him did not waver in his heart in the slightest no matter what he said, Bai Wanyin bit his lip, and he really wanted to crash towards the stone pillar on the side with a horizontal gesture in his heart.
Stand after breaking.
If a woman wants to do something, she must be ruthless to herself, otherwise she will not be able to do anything.
She let it go.
Old Qi Steward was taken aback by Bai Wanyin's actions, and was even more shocked.
There were also many girls who wanted to get to Qi Shizi's side before, but after being rejected, they all left in a sneer, but the girl in front of her was fine...... It's even to the extent of seeking death and life?!
Could it be that she wants to enter the mansion, not for the sake of the son?
But really just want to beg for a bowl of rice to eat?!
But no matter what the reason is, you can't really let the girl die in front of the gate of the Qi State Mansion like this, if this really causes a lot of life, wouldn't it make the Qi State Mansion on the cusp of the storm, and even take him to be resigned.
The old Qi housekeeper surprisingly walked with his old arms and legs, stepped forward and pulled Bai Wanyin, and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, my old man is afraid of you." ”
"If you want to stay, stay here, there are just many people and many mouths in our Guogong Mansion, but there is one thing I want to tell you very clearly."
The old housekeeper Qi was panting, and he only felt that he was tired and sweating after just a few efforts, "After you enter the house, you can only go to the kitchen to help, it just so happens that there is a lack of a girl who burns the fire, and the inner courtyard is a place where people must not step into, especially for our son, and we must not have any bad intentions, otherwise...... Don't blame my old man for not reminding you when you were beaten out with a stick!! ”
The old Qi housekeeper repeatedly told the Duchess to manage it strictly.
Their family has not yet decided to marry, and there are some girls in the house who want to climb on the bed of the prince, but they are all ruthlessly cleaned up by the Duchess of the Kingdom, so those in the Guogong Mansion are honest.
It's not impossible for Bai Wanyin to want to enter the house as a slave, but the rules and etiquette are clear to the housekeeper.
Hearing this, the resoluteness on Bai Wanyin's face disappeared, and he looked at the old Steward Qi with pious gratitude in his eyes, and thanked him busily, "Thank you Steward Qi, thank you Steward Qi, the slave will definitely be a good errand, and will definitely not disappoint Steward Qi's respect and trust!! ”
Finally it worked!
As long as she can enter the Guogong Mansion, it doesn't matter what kind of girl she burns the fire or a slave who sweeps, it is all temporary, one day she will give Qi Wenyuan to give her a serious identity, and gain a firm foothold in the Qi Guogong Mansion openly!!
Achieving her wish, Bai Wanyin was very happy.
The old Qi housekeeper was also made a little ridiculous by Bai Wanyin, and with a creak, the closed door of the Qi Mansion was completely closed...... The gilded plaque hanging on the door is somewhat solemn.
——
Changle Palace.
Zhucui looked at Gao Changle with some apprehension.
Gao Changle's eyebrows were lowered, and he flipped through the "Art of War" that Li Shao took to pass the time for her idleness, and his expression was focused as if he didn't know the existence of Zhucui.
It was late autumn, and the dormitory was particularly cool at night.
Fortunately, there is natural hot spring water in the Changle Palace, and the temperature is also suitable.
Gao Changle dismissed the other palace maids, leaving Zhucui alone in front of him, and he didn't open his mouth to punish, nor did he praise her for doing things neatly today, which made Zhucui feel worried for no reason, and she didn't know what to do.
It seems that every minute and every second of staying by Gao Changle's side and serving is extraordinarily tormenting.
Long.
The panic in Zhucui's eyes turned into a frenzy, and she knelt in front of Gao Changle with a plop, "Big ...... Princess Celestia ...... Slaves...... The slave has completed your orders, Celestia, and the slave's family ......"
Zhucui knew that she had done bad things before, and she had done bad things to Gao Changle, even if Gao Changle refused to forgive herself and punish herself, it was nothing, but she always couldn't affect her family.
Gao Changle is a person who does what he says, if he gets her, her family will definitely be able to spend the rest of her life in peace, so even if she dies, it will be worth it.
"Are you all packed?"
Gao Changle slowly put away the military book in his hand, and his awe-inspiring phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
opened his mouth like this, but Zhu Cui, who had been holding back his words, was stunned in place, and he didn't react for a while, but it was only for a while, and Zhu Cui understood what Gao Changle meant.
"The clothes have been burned, and the ashes of the slaves and maids have been quietly buried under the banyan tree in the backyard."
"You won't be discovered."
Zhu Cui bowed slightly, and looked at Gao Changle with tentative eyes, "I heard that Qi Zhaoyi was very frightened, and when the palace people found her later, she was still making a fuss on the palace road and refused to leave, and then the imperial doctor from the Tai Hospital went and gave her an injection, which made her fall asleep." ”
"Celestial princess, do you still want to continue to deal with Qi Zhaoyi?"
Zhu Cui really couldn't think of her use.
Qi Zhengxi's appearance, most of them have been frightened, she was originally the person next to Qi Zhengxi, Qi Zhengxi will definitely not be able to go back, Gao Changle doesn't believe in herself here, she is struggling, she doesn't have any expectations, she just wants Gao Changle to give herself a good time.
If Gao Changle wants her to continue to deal with Qi Zhaoyi, then when will it be and when will things leave.
If she doesn't need to, then she will pack up her things and go to serve in the Qingliang Palace.
"No need."
"You're doing a good job."
Gao Changle made no secret of his praise for Zhucui, this time...... Zhucui did things very beautifully, she guessed that those latte flowers would attract Qi Zhengxi's attention, and pretended to be Cao Shuying who came to ask for her life, and made the words in Qi Zhengxi's stomach clear, and she had not yet been discovered by Qi Zhengxi, which was really a bit surprising to Gao Changle.
Gao Changle frowned and thought about it, then added, "In addition, go to Li Shao's five hundred taels of silver." ”
Earlier, I only knew that Zhucui was greedy for money, but he cared about his family very much, and later after Li Shao's careful inquiry, he learned that Zhucui had a younger brother who was two years apart.
For so many years, Zhucui has been greedy for ink everywhere, serving the three families openly and secretly, taking the oil and water of the three families, but in fact, the silver was sent back to the house to treat her mentally imperfect brother.
"What......"
"What?" Zhu Cui couldn't believe her ears, and she always felt that she was having auditory hallucinations.
Princess Celestia not only does not blame herself, but she ...... Do you want to reward yourself?
Five hundred taels??
So much!!!?
was so frightened that Zhucui was stunned on the spot.
Gao Changle's eyes were slightly moved, "You are a good sister." ”
Zhu Cui is not a good person.
Not a good man.
She has done a lot of things for the silver, even if she has done it to Gao Changle.
But she's a good sister.
She is using all her strength to protect her brother, even if she is not a fool in the eyes of others, but in Zhucui's heart, she always hopes that her brother will get better one day.
Lian Zhucui is a good sister, she treats her mentally incomplete brother as a baby, and she does not hesitate to enter the palace to do so many risky things, but her royal sister is blind to the younger brother who came to the door, and she is cold-eyed.
With such a meaty, soft and cute dumpling, how did you endure it to resist?
As long as Gao Changle thought of Gao Changchen's lost and disheartened eyes, he felt as if something was blocking his heart, "Take it home and give your brother a good treatment, whether it is good or not, try it as much as possible, and you will not regret it." ”
"Celestia ......"
The shock faded, and all that was left in Zhucui's heart was emotion and guilt, and her eyes were slightly red and she looked at Gao Changle, "It's the slave and the maid who are sorry for you, the slave and the maid are not people!" ”
"This palace said, you have done a good job of Qi Zhaoyi's affairs, and the past is no longer to blame."
"You don't have to blame yourself."
Gao Changle knows the truth that each is his master.
If Zhu Cui was a person in her dormitory, she was later rebelled by Qi Zhaoyi, and she disobeyed herself, but she helped Qi Zhaoyi behind her back, which is called treachery and is very damned.
But she herself is the person sent by Qi Zhaoyi, no matter what she does in the Changle Hall or what she says, she always obeys the instructions of her master and obeys the command of Yinzi to do things.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Gao Changle before for not being able to see clearly.
As far as Zhucui herself is concerned, she didn't do anything wrong, but she was really wrong, and it was also her fault for betraying Gao Changle's trust in her, and her mistake in the emotional card.
Morally fine.
The hearts of people can't get by.
"This palace gave you money, not to pity you, nor to reward you, but to think that your brother deserves to be protected." Gao Changle said solemnly, the reason why she forgave Zhucui was not just because Zhucui cared about her family very much.
is even more because of Zhucui's kindness to her brother.
Let Gao Changle feel remorse and many regrets.
It's a pity that she didn't know in her previous life, and if she knew, she would never have made Changchen die like that.
As he spoke, the corners of Gao Changle's lips swayed a little more curvature, and the meaning of the look in his dark eyes was unclear, "It's also your own ability." ”
On the surface.
Zhu Cui is a fool.
Dancing with claws, no brains, and greedy for money, this kind of little palace maid can't survive a day in the palace fight.
But in reality?
In the previous time, Zhucui was not only able to live well, but also ...... It's still alive and well.
Behind her is the master of the three families.
Whether it is Gao Changle, Cao Shuying, or Qi Zhengxi, they are all coaxed by Zhucui to be happy, she used to be the most favored palace maid by Gao Changle's side, and she is also the eyeliner that Cao Shuying values, and she is an undercover agent sent by Qi Zhengxi......
With such a complex relationship, if you change it to others, I am afraid that you will be suspected for a long time.
However, these people in the palace have only one impression of Zhucui......
Dogs fight people.
Sometimes, when you show your clumsiness in front of others, you are not necessarily really stupid, but because you are too shrewd......
