Chapter 102: Treat her differently and buy her as a concubine
"Hey. γLatest chapter reading. Lady. Granny Cai saw that the carriage was gone like this. I was in a hurry and chased two steps. shouted at the car: "Lady." Don't forget to come back and pick me up in the future. β
Granny Cai turned her head. She looked at herself strangely when she saw Autumn Color. I couldn't help but snort. Said proudly: "The lady said it." When she settles down in the capital, someone will pick me up. If she doesn't serve her, she won't be happy. And also. The lady also gave me a big red envelope. β
Autumn colors are not embarrassed to say. Qing Niang's words were definitely a lie to her. Joke. The official eunuchs in the capital have strict rules in their homes. Where can a mother-in-law who is full of nonsense all day long? But Autumn didn't tell her so kindly. Twist around and put away a brocade box from the table. looked at Ai Laohu, who was dressed in a sad aura. Suddenly there was something I couldn't put into words. It seems to be nervous and embarrassed. One last shake of the head. It was just a crazy thing someone else said. Why should I care?
I want to get into the house. But Ai Tiger blocked the door of the teahouse. Thinking about persuading him to leave. But I don't know what to say. In the end, he just pointed to the brocade box on the table and said, "Master Tiger." This is given to you by Qing Niang. Let's put it away. β
Ai Laohu seemed to have just come back to his senses. Nor do they speak. I picked up the brocade box with my hand, looked at it for a long time, but didn't open it, and threw it to Autumn Color with my backhand. Said "I sent you." Then he turned and left the teahouse.
"Hey......" Qiu Se caught the iron box thrown by Ai Laohu in a little panic. When I looked up again, I only saw his back in the distance.
Granny Cai said sourly on the side: "Qiu Niangzi is really a good life. I just said a word casually and got another gift. It's like me working hard to serve people. In the end, only a few copper plates were obtained. I'm going to pack my things and go home. With that, he turned around and went back to the teahouse to pack his things.
Autumn color remembered Granny Cai's little temperament who loves to take advantage. Hurriedly followed. Don't let her run away with her stuff.
watched Granny Cai come out of the teahouse. The autumn colors hadn't had time to go back and see what was inside the brocade box. I saw the shopkeeper Li walking towards him.
"Autumn lady. It's almost noon. Why haven't the pickles been delivered? Shopkeeper Li asked as he probed into the teahouse. Why did I look at you having two carriages here in the morning? Find yours. β
"I don't have the skills to sit in a carriage. It was the officials in the capital who came to take Qingniang home. Qiu Se looked at Shopkeeper Li with disdain. It's a big man, and he loves to listen to gossip like a girl.
"Ahh A big official in the capital. Shopkeeper Li was a little unconvinced.
"yes. So shopkeeper Li should be careful when he speaks. Qiu Se said to him again: "I have already made the pickles." This time I pickled it a little salty. It should be able to sit for a few days. You can even move out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. β
Shopkeeper Li was taken aback. "How. You're not going to do it. β
Autumn Colors hurriedly explained: "No. I'll have something to do tomorrow. The house has to be beamed. I've got to get on the other side. β
"Yo. Congratulations. Shopkeeper Li smiled and said, "That's done." I'll go back in a moment and let the two dog carts come and pick up the pickles. By the way, I will settle the money for these few days for you first. It also allows you to be more generous when you were a child. β
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Li." Autumn color happily thanks.
"You're welcome. If you have any new pickles, just remember to sell them to me. β
"That's for sure."
After Autumn Colors took all the pickles away to Ergou. It was past noon. She closed the grille. Back in the house, I was finally able to catch my breath. Don't care about the rumbling belly. Open the two brocade boxes to see.
In the brocade box that Qing Niang gave herself. There are two silver ingots weighing about one tael. There is also a coral hairpin. A pair of coral bracelets. There were also a few silk flowers and a few rouge gouaches; Looking at the brocade box she gave to Ai Laohu, there are too many. It was all neatly arranged two taels of silver ingots. There were ten of them. a total of twenty taels of silver. That's really a difference.
Autumn colors are a bit unpleasant. Think again, though. After all, I and Qing Niang have known each other for a short time. Ai Laohu and her have a 'life' friendship. When I think about it this way, my heart is much more balanced. After balancing, my heart began to struggle again. So much silver. Ai Laohu really doesn't want it. Then I was really rich. But what if he's just angry. Alas. Let's put the money away first.
Put away the brocade box that belongs to Ai Laohu. Autumn took out all her money. Including the two taels of silver that Qing Niang gave her and the money she earned by selling pickles and writing scripts during this time. There were eight taels of silver. Three hundred and seventy-three copper plates. Thanks to the two taels of silver that Qing Niang gave her. Otherwise, it's really a bit stretched. The autumn color took six taels of silver. Bring all the copper plates with you. He also packed the one that belonged to the Wu family that had been set aside. After a simple meal, I went to Ding's house to find Ding Dafu.
Ding family. Ding Dafu and Wu sat on the kang with sad faces. Sanya stood stubbornly at the door. The atmosphere was very stiff.
"Mother. What's going on. "As soon as I entered the door, I saw a few people in this state. I couldn't help but ask strangely.
"Hmph." Sanya glared at Autumn Color. Throw down the next sentence. "Daddy. Mother. I don't care if you say yes or not. Anyway, I must be a concubine for Master Wan. He said. Turned around and went out.
The autumn colors startled. asked the two Ding Dafu who stayed in the house. "What are you a concubine? What's wrong with her. β
Wu wiped his tears. He sighed and said, "This kid hasn't been seen for an afternoon since he ran out yesterday. Your dad came back and was about to look for it. But he sent a carriage back. β
"Carriage." Autumn Colors asked. Don't blame her for asking. In ancient times, horses were important strategic goods. The average person simply can't afford to use a horse-drawn carriage. Even a horse that has been retired on the battlefield is worth dozens of taels of silver each. And if you don't know anyone, you may not be able to buy it.
"Yes." Wu nodded. continued: "The one who drove the car said that it was from Master Wan's house. I almost hit Sanya. Master Wan instructed him to send Sanya back. An apology was also given. As he spoke, he pointed to the things piled up in the corner of the kang next to him.
Autumn colors at a cursory glance. It should be some pastry cloth or something. Busy continued to ask Wu. "And then. Why is Sanya going to be a concubine? It's for Master Wan to force it. β
Wu shook his head. Very sad said: "At that time, Sanya came back in a carriage. I don't think it's good for her reputation. But I think that in the future, our family will not have anything to do with the old man. And I didn't care if I was about to move out. I didn't expect it. This morning, the steward of the Ten Thousand Mansions came. said that Master Wan likes Sanya very much. I want to buy her as a concubine. β
"Buy her as a concubine." Autumn colors quickly grasp the words in it.
"You say. Your father and I don't lack food or clothing now. How can you sell your daughter without anything. Wu said and cried. He sobbed twice and continued: "At that time, I told your father that I would not sell my daughter. Unexpectedly, Sanya, who was eavesdropping outside, broke in and said that he was willing to be a concubine for Master Wan. β
"Sanya, she's stupid." Autumn shouted angrily. "Buying a concubine is buying a death deed. In the future, life and death will be decided by the master's family. Don't say it's going back to your parents' house. Even if Master Wan is killed, we can't take care of it. Mother. You must not sign her deed of sale. β
"Ahh Why so? Wu didn't expect to buy a concubine and say so much. He cried out in horror.
Ding Dafu was also taken aback. "That's a good thing. Your grandmother has already answered the ten thousand housekeepers. β
"Is the deed paper signed?"
"No, I didn't. Steward Wan knew that our family had already been separated, so he didn't let you milk swabs. Ding Dafu anxiously asked about the autumn color. But he said he would come later. Let me and your mother think about it first. β
"Daddy, are you going to sell Sanya?" Autumn Colors asked.
Ding Dafu shook his head. "I just sold myself, I didn't sell my daughter." After saying this, he looked at the autumn colors with some uneasiness. "You were in charge of your grandmother. And that guy didn't want me at all. β
Autumn color doesn't care about him. He only said: "As long as you bite the words to death." It doesn't matter who comes. Sanya, then I'll persuade you. β
"Okay." Ding Dafu nodded hurriedly. "You've seen a lot of the world. Tell Sanya well. You can't take a fork in the road and get yourself into a pit. I'll go to her for you. β
"I'll go find her myself." Qiu Se held Ding Dafu and came out to find Sanya. But I don't want her to stand at the door of the east wing and wait for herself.
"How. Are you going to snatch Master Wan again? "As soon as we met. Sanya looked at the autumn color with red eyes and hatred.
Autumn color stunned. Rather annoyed. What's going on today. It's always a sudden mess with the relationship between men and women. But I thought about the purpose of looking for her. Or let out a long breath to suppress the fire in my heart. said: "I don't know why he wants to rob him." I meant to tell you. Don't be a concubine. Especially the kind of concubine who buys out the deed of ownership......"
Sanya didn't wait for Qiu Se to finish speaking, and came back directly. "What does it matter to you whether I give someone a concubine or not."
Autumn colors choke. Taking a breath of cold air, he continued, "I'm not here for your good. You have to really sign the death contract. It will not be easy for your father and mother to see you in the future. And do you know if the old man has a wife, concubines, and children? Just in case he already has a wife and concubine. Then aren't you asking for your own hardship when you make him a concubine again? What if the old man's wife finds something to beat you to death? β
"That's not your fault." Sanya tilted her head and sneered. "If you hadn't allowed me to be good with Master Hu. As for the concubine of an old man in his thirties and forties? β
I can't hold back the fire of autumn colors. "Sanya. You figure it out. I haven't mixed up with you at all, okay. Those shoes really were asked by Master Tiger to return them to you. Don't be unreasonable. If you don't believe yourself, go and ask the tiger master. β
I asked. He's not talking to you yet. "Sanya still doesn't believe it." Besides. If Master Tiger really doesn't want my shoes, can't he just tell me? If you don't let Sister Qingniang give it to me, it's okay. Sister Qing Niang said it all. Master Tiger takes special care of you. I'll do everything for you. Don't get paid yet. β
"Alright. You can think whatever you like. Anyway, those shoes were really asked by Master Tiger to give you. If I have a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky. "The autumn colors are amazing.
