Chapter VIII: Freedom

Xue Fei took Qing'er back to get back the deed of sale and ransomed her out of Xing'an Building.

The moment Qing'er took the deed of sale, her hands were trembling. Since her parents were killed by thieves, she has lived on the streets, singing music for a living, and was later taken to this place where she can shelter from the wind and rain by the owner of Xing'an Building.

Originally, she thought that this was the best place for her, but as long as she didn't sing for four hours, she couldn't eat, and she would be whipped when the boss was in a bad mood.

On the surface, she is glamorous, has no worries about food and clothing, and enjoys a good reputation, but she has suffered countless hardships behind her back, and she is forced to sell herself every day after stepping down.

Now, when she met Jiang Duanchen and Su Ling, she seemed to grasp a life-saving straw. She refused to miss this opportunity, which was perhaps the only salvation in her dark days.

Qing'er came back to her senses from her memories and smiled at Xue Feiyan, "Qing'er has thanked a few benevolent fathers here, and Qing'er will definitely serve her son well in the future." ”

Xue Fei glanced at Qing'er and said in a casual tone: "Girl, don't you forget, what my son-in-law just said is that I want you to treat Miss Su well." ”

Qing'er hurriedly changed her words and said, "Yes, I will treat Su Ling as my own sister in the future." ”

Xue Fei nodded in response. Tell Qing'er to pack her luggage and go with them.

Qing'er went back to the house and looked at the silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry. Alone muttered to himself, "You have bound me here for so many years, and today I can finally break free from these shackles." After seeing the prosperity, I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace. ”

With that, she skipped the things, walked straight to the bed, and took out the baggage that had been packed.

She had waited too long for this day.

Xue Fei returned to the private room to inform Jiang Duanchen that the matter had been completed.

Jiang Duanchen nodded, and then took Su Ling's hand, "Su Ling, since you want her to follow you, then let her be your maid." ”

Su Ling asked, "Why is it a maid, can't you be my friend?" ”

Jiang Duanchen smiled, touched her head and said, "I know you are a soft-hearted girl, but you think, you will be my wife in the future, and I will give you Yuefeng, but she has nothing to do with me, if she doesn't have an identity to earn money, how can she support herself?" ”

After hearing this, Su Ling felt that it made sense, and lowered his head to think. Jiang Duanchen continued: "She is your maid, first, she can always accompany you to take care of you, and secondly, she can also receive monthly money, which is undoubtedly the best arrangement for her after leaving Xing'an Building." ”

"That's good." Su Ling just wanted to stay with Ahuai, but she didn't think about her future livelihood.

After listening to Jiang Duanchen's arrangement, she felt that this person was really careful and thoughtful.

Su Ling raised his eyes, his eyes revealing a desire to learn, "Gongzi Jiang, why are you always so thoughtful in doing things, can you teach me?" ”

Jiang Duanchen chuckled, this girl is really interesting.

"Okay, then I'll teach you a word, think before you act." Jiang Duanchen dipped his hand in the tea in the teacup, and then wrote it on the table.

Su Ling carefully observed his strokes.

"Think before you act."

After Jiang Duanchen finished writing, he looked at Su Ling, "Do you want to try it?" ”

Su Ling stretched out his hand, was held by Jiang Duanchen, and drew on the table one by one.

Word by word fell. Su Ling read very slowly, every stroke tried her best to memorize in her heart, she wanted to engrave all the words in her mind, she wanted to remember the meaning of these words.

After the words were written, Jiang Duanchen let go of his hand.

"What does that word mean?"

"Think." Jiang Duanchen said: "It has a lot of meanings, and what it means here is to think, and before doing things, you have to think more about whether it is right to do this and how to do it." ”

After speaking, he paused, looked at Su Ling's flushed cheeks, gently hooked his lips to cover hers, and left after a slight rubbing, "There is another meaning, it is called lovesickness, that is, you will miss someone unconsciously." ”

Jiang Duanchen's warm breath sprayed in her ears, Su Ling's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her face was ruddy, and her eyes were rolling, she lightly opened her lips and said, "I know." “

Jiang Duanchen laughed, he reached out and pinched the tip of Su Ling's cute nose, "Silly girl, remember, lovesickness can only be for me." ”

Su Ling raised his hand and touched his lips, thinking back to the feeling just now, sweet, "Hmm......"

Jiang Duanchen's smile deepened, and he took Su Ling into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her soft hair.

Su Ling leaned on Jiang Duanchen's broad and firm chest, feeling his body temperature, smell, and breathing, and his heart was stable and warm.

Xue Fei looked at the crookedness of the two of them as if no one was around, and coughed twice in embarrassment, "Childe, what are we going to do next?" ”

Jiang Duanchen was obviously not satisfied with being interrupted by Xue Fei, but he still had something to do, and if he wanted to take Su Ling home, he had to inform him in advance, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Jiang Duanchen let go of Su Ling, "Su Ling, I have something to do in a while, wait for Qing'er to pack up, and let her take you around." I'll look for you in the evening. ”

Su Ling tugged on Jiang Duanchen's sleeve, "Then when you're done, you must remember to come to me." ”

Jiang Duanchen patted Su Ling's hand and agreed: "Don't worry, Su Ling, I will let Xue Fei protect you." ”

After Jiang Duanchen finished instructing, his gentle gaze withdrew from Su Ling's body, his cold pupils opened slightly, and he said to Xue Fei silently: "Protect Su Ling, if she hurts a little, I will ask you." ”

Xue Fei replied with an oath: "Yes, young master." ”

Jiang Duanchen left the private room, and Qing'er came to meet him.

The two passed by, and Qing'er clearly felt the murderous aura from him. Jiang Duanchen glanced at her, and she was shocked.

It seems that in the future, if you want to make a living by his side, you still have to start with Su Ling. Qing'er thought silently.

Qing'er came to the private room, and when Su Ling saw her coming back, she immediately ran up and took her hand.

"Ah Huai, what's so fun in Shangque City? I'm not familiar with it when I first arrived here, can you take me to see it? ”

Qing'er wasn't very comfortable with this name for a while, "Su Ling, can you call me Qing'er in the future?" Ahuai is in the past, and we won't mention the past. ”

Su Ling pursed her lips, "That's good, Qing'er." ”

Qing'er smiled when she heard this, "Let's go, I'll take you for a good turn." ”

The two left Xing'an Building with a smile and a smile, and Xue Fei followed silently behind them.

It is the Spring Festival, although it is late, but the city of Shangque is brightly lit, bustling and noisy, and lively.

The two of them shuttled through the crowd, enjoying this hard-won freedom, constantly playing and eating all kinds of delicious food.

Su Ling's eyes were clear and pure, like the bright stars in the sky.

She was wearing a pink dress, flowing out of the dust, her long hair was pulled up, and a hosta was inserted obliquely, which set off her skin to be more crystal clear, Qing'er looked at her pure eyes, and couldn't help but envy in her heart.

"Qing'er, look!" Su Ling pointed to the lanterns in the river, "What is this?" Look good. ”

Qing'er retracted her envious eyes and explained carefully: "This is a lantern, you can write blessings on it, let it float along the river, and the person you bless will receive your heart as long as they pass by the river." ”

Su Ling doesn't seem to understand.

If she blessed her, the first thing she thought of in her heart was Jiang Duanchen, and when she thought of a handsome face, Su Ling's heart beat a lot.

Both of them were immersed in the bustle, not noticing that someone in the distance had been staring at them for a long time.

"Hehe, it's really two superb, and they will definitely sell for a good price." An emaciated man stared at Su Ling and Qing'er with sinister eyes.

Qing'er took Su Ling to the river, took two lanterns, and handed them to Su Ling, "Su Ling, if you want to bless anyone, write it on it." ”

Su Ling's voice lowered, "Qing'er, can I write a word?" ”

"A word?" Qing'er was a little puzzled, "How can you express your blessing in one word?" ”

Su Ling remembered what Jiang Duanchen had taught her, and said firmly: "Yes, that word is the first word I learned, and it has many meanings." ”

Su Ling took the pen in Qing'er's hand and wrote the word "Si" on the slip of paper one by one.

Then carefully place it in the flower wick.

Qing'er didn't say much after reading it, and wrote on the note, "I hope that I will be free as the wind for the rest of my life, and I will not be coerced." ”

After the two finished writing, they looked at each other and smiled, put the lantern in the water, and let it float away with the waves.

Qing'er breathed a long sigh of relief, "Su Ling, who are you from Gongzi Jiang?" ”

Su Ling thought for a moment and replied, "He said that I would be his wife in the future." ”

"Then what kind of person is he, I see that Jiang Gongzi has a personable demeanor and an extraordinary temperament, his identity must not be simple, you will be very happy if you marry him in the future."

Su Ling remembered Jiang Duanchen's words, lowered his head and smiled, "Yes, he said that he was the prime minister of the dynasty, I don't understand what it is, but I know that he is a very good and gentle person." ”

Prime minister? Qing'er requisitioned, it seems that she really climbed a good life-saving straw.

Looking at Su Ling's simple and ignorant appearance, Qing'er suddenly felt jealous, why can such a person have such a good marriage.
