Chapter 366: I'd rather be a commoner's wife than a concubine
Waiting for Qing Yu to leave, Gu Yan suddenly looked at Tao Xi, "Sister-in-law, can this Qing Yu sign a deed of sale?"
"Signed."
Tao Xi had a bad premonition in her heart, and she raised her eyebrows suspiciously, "Why are you asking like this, you shouldn't look down on her, right?"
What's going on lately, why are the people around her blooming peach blossoms.
Gu Yan was silent for a moment and didn't speak, he didn't feel anything before, but recently he found that Qing Yu was not only good-looking, but also very stable and proper in doing things for people.
She also has a good handicraft, and she is a rare good girl.
"She won't be a concubine."
Gu Yan's silence had already given Tao Xi an answer, and she directly refused for Qing Yu.
It's not because he doesn't respect her ideas, but because Qing Yu said at the beginning that she would never be a concubine.
What's more, the Gu family's family background is not ordinary, Gu Yan's family will definitely arrange a girl for him.
"Sister-in-law, how do you know what she thinks without asking?"
Gu Yan's words made Tao Xi's heart chill slightly, not because he was angry, but because he understood once again that in ancient times, three concubines and four concubines were common.
In the end, he still thinks that Qing Yu is only worthy of being his concubine.
"Qing Yu is beautiful, when she first bought her, she told her mother that she would rather be a commoner wife in this life than a concubine."
Jian Shiming sighed, he didn't comment on Gu Yan's thoughts, he just found that his wife seemed to be a little unhappy in his heart.
"I see."
Gu Yan sighed, and didn't notice that there was a curtain outside, and Qing Yu's hand holding the tray tightened.
She took a deep breath, deliberately made footsteps, and put the finished rice rolls in front of Gu Yan.
"General Gu, please."
She placed the prepared sauce to the side, as if she hadn't heard Fang Cai's words.
But Tao Xi knows Qing Yu very well, and she can see through her small movements.
I am afraid that only Gu Yan is very satisfied with this breakfast, and after eating, he wiped his lips.
"Sister-in-law, I'll escort the five princes to the border, and leave this matter to me, those ransom ......."
"Just put it in the treasury of Yun County."
Taoxi has the idea of possessing nothing as it is, and with those gold and silver, Yunxian can develop rapidly.
Waiting for Gu Yan to leave, Tao Xi drove Jian Shiming out and asked Qing Yu softly.
"Did you hear what General Fang said?"
"Hmm."
Qing Yu lowered her eyes and silently cleaned up the utensils on the table.
"Do you want me to refuse for you?"
Tao Xi looked at her faintly, "After all, it is General Gu's concubine, if you have this idea, I will go and tell General Gu in person."
"Master!"
Qing Yu suddenly knelt in front of Tao Xi, and Tao Xi was so frightened that Tao Xi hurriedly helped the person up.
"What are you doing, I'm just asking for your opinion, and I'll talk to you if you want to or not."
"Master, Qing Yu doesn't want to be a concubine."
Qing Yu's voice trembled, "A slave would rather marry a peddler than a concubine."
She is very tired of the days when you fight in the backyard, and she is also very envious of the relationship between Jian Shiming and Tao Xi.
She doesn't ask for more, but only for one heart.
"If you are not a concubine, you are not a concubine."
Tao Xi couldn't help but laugh, "There are so many young students and people in charge of my mansion, you seem to tell me.
When you get married, I will set you free, and your children will not be slaves in the future."
She really has feelings for Qing Yu, this girl is not only careful and proper, but also very measured, Tao Xi likes such people.
"Thank you for your kindness!"
With tears in the corners of her eyes, she was silent for a few seconds before she said, "But Qing Gardenia doesn't have this idea yet.
Let's wait until the master and uncle give birth to a little master."
For the time being, she just wants to stay by her master's side and repay her master's kindness for his rescue.
"Then you
Don't you want to be an old girl?"
Tao Xixiao's face flushed, she hadn't thought about pregnancy and childbirth, and she was going to Kyoto after the New Year.
She didn't want to get pregnant and carry a child alone, it would be too hard.
"Master."
Qing Yu smiled movingly: "Qing Yu is not in a hurry, if you meet someone you like, don't worry about the master when Qing Yu comes to beg."
"Of course not."
Tao Xi nodded Qing Yu's forehead, and the master and servant looked at each other and smiled, and the matter was settled.
Waiting for Qing Yu to leave, Jian Shiming entered the house, and when he saw that her expression was the same, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's that look on your face?" Are you afraid that I will sit down?"
Tao Xi couldn't help laughing, this guy was cautious, for fear that she would be angry.
Jian Shiming's eyebrows stretched together, walked in front of Tao Xi in a few steps, and gently rubbed her hands.
"Lady, I'm just afraid you're upset."
"Actually, there's nothing to be unhappy about, you guys...... Most of you men in Dafeng think that it is normal for you to have three concubines and four concubines."
Tao Xi lowered his eyes and looked at the stove in front of him, "I'm just a little uncomfortable in my heart, I don't think about forcibly changing General Gu's mind."
She clearly understands that she is not a saint, and what she can't do by herself, she can just ask herself and Jian Shiming.
But it would be too much to ask others to do the same.
"I know."
Jian Shiming rubbed her fingertips, "You said, you are a couple for a lifetime, and I won't break my word."
"Hmm."
Tao Xi thought that this matter was just Gu Yan's casual remarks, but he didn't expect that after he sent the two princes back, there was still something wrong with Qing Yu's eyes.
"Sister-in-law, rest assured, the two princes have left Dafeng safely."
"Hard work General Gu."
Tao Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, which was equivalent to solving a *** annoyance, but before she could laugh, Gu Yan said:
"Sister-in-law, I want to say a few words to Qing Yu alone, is it okay?"
"Brother Gu."
Jian Shiming looked disapproving, but Tao Xi pulled his arm, got up and said:
"It's okay, Xianggong, you can accompany me to the room to get something."
"Hmm."
Jian Shiming glanced at Gu Yan lightly, got up and left the restaurant around Tao Xi.
Suddenly there were only two people left in the restaurant, Qing Yu and Gu Yan, Qing Yu looked at his shoes nervously and did not look up.
"Qing Yu, don't be nervous."
Gu Yan softened his voice and wanted to raise his hand to pull Qing Gardenia, but Qing Yan suddenly took a few steps back.
"General Gu, do you have anything to tell you about looking for a slave?"
There was stubbornness in her clear eyes, and Gu Yan instantly understood that she was afraid that she would have known about this a long time ago.
"Qing Yu, would you like to leave with me?"
"General."
Qing Yu shook her head, "The slave maid is the handmaid of the county lord, so naturally she has to follow the county lord."
"I can redeem you."
Gu Yan said with some excitement, "Leave with me, you will be free from now on."
"General Gu."
Qing Yu suppressed the excitement in her heart, how could she not be moved, after all, General Gu was such a handsome and extraordinary person.
He still left so heroically, but reason still prevailed, and Qing Yu said in a calm voice:
"General Gu Zhilan Yushu is worthy of the best girl in the world, presumably the Gu family will find a girl with the right family background for you."
She didn't seem to understand what he wanted her to be a concubine, so she refused directly.
