Chapter 254: Counting Quickly
Eleven beauties stood in the courtyard in unison.
King Chen and Rong Yunxi sat at the stone table in the courtyard, edelweiss bouncing and humming at their feet. The two of them were unmoved, not distracted at all, and set their eyes on these eleven beauties.
After a careful look, Rong Yunxi looked at King Chen, seeking his instructions. But I saw King Chen holding his cheeks with a pestle, closing his eyes and recuperating. Looks like it's none of your business.
Well, this one doesn't match.
"I called you over today, because I have something to tell you......" Since King Chen didn't choose, Rong Yunxi slowly opened his mouth and began to talk about his plans.
Originally, among the eleven beauties, a few were still looking forward to it. But when he saw King Chen close his eyes, the expectant eyes instantly turned dim.
Rong Yunxi and King Chen's posture, a fool can also see that they are choosing people to serve King Chen. But among the dozen or so beauties, there are only a few who are looking forward to it, and the others are sculptures with normal expressions and faces that have no joy or sorrow. It can be seen that they are numb in the hardships of day after day. This is just right, and letting them go is to help them get free.
"Mama Jin said, most of you were selected when His Royal Highness just opened the mansion and built the mansion, and you have been in the palace for a long time and have deep qualifications. The slaves and maids in the palace, when they reach the age of twenty-five, can still be released to marry, you are well-behaved in the palace, there is nothing wrong with it, and the concubine naturally can't forget you. Now that you are not young, this concubine and Your Highness, I can't delay you until you are in your twenties, it is better to let you out while you are still young and live a free life. ”
Rong Yunxi looked at their expressions as she spoke. Most of them have ordinary expressions, no sense of sadness, and even a few of them have a happy look on their faces.
glanced at King Chen, and saw that King Chen continued to close his eyes and recuperate, and it was none of his business. I thought to myself, what are you pretending to be a quiet beautiful man at this time? If you can open your eyes and see how they react, you will know how arrogant and sinful you are. Are you still worried that people will cry and grab the ground? I'm really worried!
Seeing their reactions, Rong Yunxi was relieved. said with a smile: "You have served very well in the mansion, and now that you are leaving, Your Highness naturally cannot treat you badly." Thirty taels of silver will be given to each of you, enough for you to go out and do a little business and live a good life. ”
During the years they have been in the mansion, King Chen has given them a lot of monthly money, and there is nothing to spend. So everyone should have a lot of savings in their hands. Coupled with the thirty taels subsidy, even if they don't do anything else after they go out, the money in their hands is enough for them to live normally for three or five years.
But it seems to ...... They felt that thirty taels per person was very little. A few people directly rolled their eyes to express their dissatisfaction.
Rong Yunxi also knew that thirty taels of silver was not much for them, and she wanted to give them more. But the question is, there are eleven people in total, and there must always be a bowl of water, right? Ten taels more per person is counted as an extra hundred taels.
If others know the amount of their severance pay, don't you think that King Chen's mansion is rich and rich? It doesn't matter if it reaches the ears of others, if you let the palace know, you can't blame King Chen for squandering?
Therefore the three hundred and thirty taels of silver were the greatest amount she could give.
"What about you, don't be afraid of giving too little silver...... Rong Yunxi slowly spoke, although he was still smiling, but in his voice, there was a majesty, "Do you know how much the severance pay of an ordinary palace daughter in the palace is?" Ten taels of silver. This concubine can give you thirty taels, and if it is passed out, it will already be criticized. Do the math yourself, if you hadn't come to King Chen's Mansion at the beginning, now you might be able to save thirty taels of silver in your own hands? ”
"Over the years, there have been people for you to eat, someone for you to wear, and you have been raised like young ladies in the deep mansion, and you have been raised with fine skin and tender meat. If this concubine and you change places, she must obediently accept the reward of His Highness, and present the last song to His Highness, and leave the palace happily. After all, you have to leave if you don't give you the money for your dismissal, and you have to leave if you don't give you the money for your dismissal. ”
These beauties who can sing and dance are all used to enjoying them on weekdays. I can't live the life of ordinary people. If they can live their duties like the daughters of ordinary people, thirty taels of silver are enough for them to live for decades.
"The best years of slavery are in this palace. Now that I see that people are old and yellow, I said that I want to let us out, how can I marry a good family with the current age and appearance of the slave? How do you know that when we are outside, we can't live a better life than the palace? If you hadn't delayed in the palace for all these years, maybe you would have been a lady in the rich family by now! A beautiful woman with a good appearance said. The voice is crisp and crisp, and it is quite bold.
King Chen originally looked like he didn't care about himself, but after listening to this beauty's words, he opened his eyes.
His eyes gloomily looked this bold beauty up and down for a long time, and then his eyes swept over the eleven of them in turn......
Seeing that these eleven people had no temper at all, they just stood with their heads bowed and respectful, not even daring to raise their heads.
"It seems that you have a lot of resentment in your hearts," King Chen said in a deep voice, "Well, in that case, it is better to make the resentment in your hearts even greater." Anyway, this king is not afraid of you going out to criticize. You don't have to take thirty taels of silver, and you don't need to sing and dance tomorrow, but give you an hour to clean up, and after an hour, if the king sees any of you left in the palace, he will be driven out with a stick. ”
"Alright, that's it, let's all step down."
When the eleven people heard this, their faces changed greatly. knelt on the ground in a panic and kowtowed repeatedly: "Please forgive Your Highness...... Your Highness forgives ...... sins"
King Chen shook his head, unwilling to take them, and strode into the house.
Rong Yunxi thought for a moment, and then said, "Haven't you heard what Your Highness meant?" What are you doing here? An hour later, the concubine went to check it out in person. If someone wants to stay on it, they will be added directly. Also, if anyone cries out without knowing each other, he will be killed with a rod. ”
The eleven beauties who were originally begging for mercy were stunned when they heard this. No one dared to continue to speak out, for fear of being beaten by the sticks.
The beauty who was very bold just now is still very characterful. After hearing Rong Yunxi's words, he got up directly, lifted his skirt, and strode towards the outside of the courtyard without looking back.
By the window of the study, King Chen looked at the back of this beautiful woman and thought thoughtfully.
One of them had already led the way, and the others looked at each other and had to leave.
Seeing them walking so happily, Rong Yunxi knew that they were actually not short of money. In the face of life, thirty taels of silver is just like that, and no one cares too much. I don't even have the courage to take a beating for more money.
Rong Yunxi didn't know why King Chen suddenly turned his face, hasn't he always been very pitiful and cherishing jade?
Was it the words of that beautiful woman that frustrated him? People say that she has been delayed in the palace for all these years, and King Chen is not happy?
Seeing these dozen people out of the courtyard, Rong Yunxi turned around and whispered to Chu Xia.
Early Summer answered and followed.
Back in the room, Rong Yunxi smiled: "What's wrong?" People say that you have delayed a good year in your palace, are you not happy? ”
King Chen raised his hand, restrained her words, turned around and asked, "What do you think of the one you just said?" ”
Rong Yunxi thought for a while and said, "Okay...... That's great...... The face is beautiful, the figure is good, and the most important thing is that he has a character. I'm used to eating sweet and greasy things, so it's good to change the flavor once in a while. ”
It turned out that King Chen had taken a fancy to others. Because he fell in love with others, and saw that they didn't yearn for him, he was unconvinced and aggrieved.
"Then go back and see, and give each of them ten taels of silver. Let's just say that this king doesn't know about your past, and you secretly sent money to them. According to what the king said, they were sent away within an hour. Also, you asked Zhiqiu to call Zhuo Jiu over, and I told him to do something. ”
Rong Yunxi felt that King Chen didn't look like he was lustful now, but as if he was calculating something.
So he answered and did as he was told.
In fact, even if King Chen didn't confess, Rong Yunxi would go over and give them some silver. It doesn't matter if they need it or not, whether they are worthy of being treated well or not, what matters is that they can't leave anyone to talk about their work in the palace.
gave them ten taels of silver, even though they felt dissatisfied and went out to criticize the Chenwang Mansion, but when they heard it, they could still hear that the Chenwang Mansion was not bad.
It's just that I don't know what King Chen's intentions are for that beauty. Rong Yunxi could detect that what King Chen asked Zhuojiu to do must have something to do with that beauty.
Calling Zhiqiu to call Zhuo Jiu, and Zhuo Jiu entered the house after a short time. Rong Yunxi deliberately avoided suspicion, and was just about to get up to take a look at those beauties, but was held down by King Chen.
"I'll leave when I'm done." King Chen pressed her, and his tone was commanding.
"Zhuo Jiu, wait a minute, you and the princess will go to the big courtyard over there in the slave room, the princess is in the light, and you are in the dark. The princess will point you to a person, and you will show the king clearly. From this day on, you should follow this king, see where she goes, and who she has contacted, and keep an eye on this king. I felt that I had figured it out, so I gave the person to the king and carried it back quietly. Can you do this clearly? ”
"Your Highness, don't worry, it's just with a woman, and the slave can understand."
King Chen nodded and said, "Very good, you don't need a knife to kill chickens." As soon as you leave this king, you kid will be clever and cautious, let you do this, just right. ”
The implication is that you are the knife that can only kill chickens......
