Chapter 1552: Twin Maids
When you come, you are arrogant, and when you leave, you are disgraced.
A few sons and brothers fled, and Luo Chong had an extra stack of silver tickets and a stack of IOUs in his hand.
"More than three hundred taels of silver, which is earned, and an IOU of more than one thousand taels. ”
Luo Chong stuffed the two stacks of paper into the hands of his sister-in-law who was in a trance, and smiled at her: "How about it, it's easy to make money." ”
"But this kind of money ......"
My sister-in-law was like a dream, and I felt that this qiē was extremely unreal. A few days ago, the family was still worried about the debt of three taels of silver, which is good, and the silver ticket of more than three hundred taels was surnamed Luo in less than a quarter of an hour?
As for the IOU of more than 1,000 taels, my sister-in-law really didn't dare to think about it, thinking that it was impossible for those sons' brothers to honor it obediently, they were all big names in the town, especially the mayor, who was also the second-in-command of Guangling Town, in charge of all people's livelihood affairs.
Fortunately, the money to buy these two maids is saved, I just heard that these two girls cost more than 200 taels of silver, and my sister-in-law wanted to say to Luo Chong: It's so expensive, let's not want it, okay?
Luo Chong didn't embarrass the trader, after all, the slave trade is completely legal in this world, especially in the troubled times when people are not as good as dogs, with them, those who really can't get along will not starve to death, no matter where they are sold, at least they can have a bite to eat.
Two hundred and forty taels of silver tickets, Luo Chong gave her a lot of one or two, and got the deed of sale, and the two maids were also members of the Luo family.
"Looks like twins!"
became her own servant, and her sister-in-law could take a closer look at it openly, only to find that the two girls looked very similar, although they were not exactly the same, but they were tall, short, fat and thin, and they all met some of the characteristics that twins should have.
"Back to Mrs. Hui. ”
The girl on the left saluted prettyly, and her slightly childlike voice was also very beautiful: "We are exactly a mother and twins, but we are not very similar, I am a sister, you can call me Qiyu, she is a sister, you can call her Qiyan." ”
"Good, good. ”
The sister-in-law smiled and nodded, and said in her heart that they were really twins, no wonder they were so expensive, and then she felt that it was too unpleasant to call Qiyan, as if it was something that only cultural people understood, so she said: "In the future, I will call you Xiaoyu and call her Xiaoyan." ”
"Yes, ma'am. ”
The two girls saluted together, with elegant postures and looked very educated. made my sister-in-law a little ashamed of herself, and felt that she was definitely far inferior to them in terms of etiquette.
"Let's go, it stinks too much in here. ”
Luo Chong waved his hand and said, "Buy a few clothes for the two of them on the way back." ”
They were said to be clean, but compared to the other slaves, in fact, the clothes on their bodies were also a little stained.
After more than an hour, I returned home, but it was not yet lunch, Luo's mother saw these two maids, she liked it, but she whispered to her sister-in-law: "It looks weaker than the eldest lady of the squire's family, can you do work like this?"
The two girls immediately knelt down with pointed ears, and the elder sister whispered quickly: "Old lady, please rest assured, we can do any work, we can do it, we were born to serve the master, and there is absolutely no squeamishness." ”
"Yes, old lady. ”
Sister Xiaoyan also hurriedly said: "No matter how hard and tired we are, we can all stand it, my sister cooks very well, and she can make all kinds of dim sum, my female celebrity is not bad, I can almost make what kind of clothes the old lady and Mrs. want, I can almost make it......"
The two girls also have some eyesight, on the way back, listen carefully to the conversation between Luo Chong and his sister-in-law, and then see Luo's mother's full of kindness, how can they not know that the sisters are lucky, they met a good family, even if they are not as good as the original master, they will not suffer too many grievances.
I once thought that it was possible to be sold to the Qinglou, but now this is already very good, how can I not know how to cherish it.
When Luo's mother saw that the two girls knelt down, her heart instantly softened, where could she still take care of these and that, and she hurried to help, but she was pulled by her sister-in-law in time and couldn't leave the chair.
The sister-in-law gave Luo's mother a look, which means: The next person is the next person, and it can't be too bad for them, but it can't be too good.
Luo Mu had never experienced this, and shook her head gently, meaning: Come on, you can do it, I don't care.
Luo Chong said with a smile: "Rough work is tiring, there are those big-headed soldiers who are called at will, their task is to serve you comfortably, and it is enough for you to be the maid of the prefect's family, this aspect must be delicate." ”
"The prefect's house!"
Luo Mu couldn't help but ask: "Why did such a big official go to prison?"
The prefect of Guangling City is equivalent to the secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor of a prefecture-level city in China, and he is responsible for administration and justice, and dozens of counties and towns such as Guangling Town are under the jurisdiction of the prefect.
Such a big official can be arrested and put in prison? Luo Mu felt that it was really incredible.
The two maids bowed their heads and were silent, they didn't know much about what crime the original master was imprisoned for, they only knew that they seemed to have offended a certain big man in the capital, and the emperor personally approved and convicted him.
Luo Chong knew that the prefect of He could also be called a good official, but the emperor was mediocre, the world was in chaos, and all kinds of bullshit could happen, which was not strange in any feudal society.
"That's it, don't say anything else, it has nothing to do with our family anyway. ”
Luo Chong waved his hand, not wanting to talk too much, lest Luo's mother worry unnecessarily, she couldn't hold so many things in her heart.
Then he said to Luo Xiu'er: "If you have a maid at home, even if you are free, you are not allowed to work with them." ”
Luo Xiu'er's expression was still a little sluggish, and she was bored for a few seconds before replying: "But in this way, what else can I do?"
I've been doing work since I was a child, and if I don't have this, I really don't know how I'll live the next few days.
"Study hard and make progress every day!"
Luo Chong's attitude was strict: "There are so many things to learn, can you only do housework for a lifetime?"
Obviously, there are words in the words, not only Luo Xiu'er, but even Luo's mother and sister-in-law have begun to ponder what Luo Chong's deep meaning is.
One thing seems to be dead, and it is absolutely impossible for Dong'er (younger brother) to send her away, and it is estimated that she will be given the title of a concubine in the future.
That's not bad, either. Luo's mother pondered: No matter how you say it, it's almost like half a daughter, and she is really reluctant to let her leave the Luo family.
But in Luo's mother's heart, Luo Xiuer is definitely not a good match for her son, and her son will be a thousand-household, or even a bigger official in the future, so he has to marry a daughter of an official family who is almost inseparable.
Luo Chong is reluctant to explain too much, this concept, as their knowledge becomes more and more extensive, will naturally change, and it is impossible to remain unchanged.
I'm not in a hurry to get married, what are you talking about?
Bang!
"It's too bullying!"
At the other end of the town, the leopard's mother, Chen Baihu's wife, was spilling in the hall because the news of her son's injury by Luo Dong had reached her ears.
In fact, the leopard was not injured much, it was a little concussive, and it was fine after a few days. Even, the leopard himself didn't complain to his father and mother when he got home, although this kid is muddy, but he also has some martial arts arrogance, he can't beat it, and he can't beat it, and he goes home to complain to his father and mother, not the martial artist.
The leopard and his mother learned about it through another channel, after all, those sons and brothers are not all like the leopards who call themselves warriors.
Besides, they all wrote IOUs, and two hundred taels of silver is not a decimal number, so if you don't tell your parents, you can't take it out by yourself.
Chen Baihu sat on a high-backed chair, holding the case with his right hand, bowing his head and saying nothing.
"I also forced the leopard to write an IOU of two hundred taels!"
The leopard mother is still shouting: "Don't you care about this? What should I do if that kid comes to the door to ask for debts? What should I do if I hit the leopard again? Where can you put your face in a hundred households?"
"There's a for you to shout like that. ”
Chen Baihu said in a deep voice: "That kid is quite evil, he has just returned to his hometown, and he has done so many things, so far, I can't guess his plan at all." ”
"What does his plan have to do with our family?"
The leopard girl screamed: "Anyway, it won't work if you beat my son!"
"Your little bit of insight......
Chen Baihu was a little strict with his wife, and he didn't bother to tell her more, so he asked the servant to call the leopard over.
"Leopard, what do you say about this matter yourself?" Chen Baihu asked in a deep voice in the tone of his father.
"Losing is losing, and I don't think there's anything I can't think about. ”
The leopard felt quite embarrassed, and replied in a muffled voice: "Since I was a child, I have beaten him many times, and I only took one kick from him, and it is not a loss, but the two hundred taels of silver ......"
"Although two hundred taels of silver is not a decimal number, it is not difficult for our family, you don't have to worry about this. ”
Chen Baihu was quite appreciative of his son's reaction, at least he didn't get distracted by the beating, so he pointed to his son and said to his wife: "Look, your son is more sensible than you." ”
The leopard mother was about to shout, but the leopard preemptively said: "Mother, don't worry about this matter, it's normal for there to be some disputes between the generals, I don't want to use those messy methods to retaliate against him, and it will be embarrassing to spread out, which will affect my reputation in the future." ”
"What a general!"
The leopard mother couldn't bear to reprimand her son, but muttered: "You are not even a flag officer." ”
"It will be in the future!"
The leopard's face turned red: "Anyway, I have thought about it, and after I have recovered from my injuries, I will practice hard, and I will defeat him in the future, and I will not lose to him on the battlefield! I want to be a general of hundreds of households, thousands of households, and more than 10,000 troops by my own ability!"
"Good!"
Chen Baihu slapped the table: "This is my son, if he can wake you up, don't say two hundred taels, I am willing to two thousand taels!"
"Two thousand taels, do you have one?"
The leopard lady had no choice but to throw her hands and leave: "Forget it, I don't bother to care about you, what are you thinking, is it fun to lead troops to fight, one by one." ”
The Chen family is an exception, and they don't hold a grudge against Luo Chong, but the other families are not like this, that night, they joined forces, and they also found Wang Baihu, and came to the mayor's house together to discuss how to deal with Luo Dong.
A few hundred taels of silver is nothing, the key is that that kid is too crazy, he obviously doesn't take the entire Guangling Town in his eyes, and the madman has no scruples, and he simply doesn't give anyone face.
He has only been home for less than two days, and if the days are longer, let him grow a little bigger, can we still have a way to live?
