When they arrived at the living room, Xining didn't talk first or ask anyone to serve tea. Instead, he asked someone to go to the kitchen to bring something that could be served immediately. He also ordered a bowl of egg custard and asked not to pour lard on it and to serve it as soon as possible. Come.
"Sit down." Xining took the lead and sat on the main seat.
The woman held the child in her arms and looked at the situation. The noble gentleman who came out with her sat at the head of the guests. After thinking about it, he knelt down to Xining and said, "This must be the little miracle doctor from Xuanhumen who is famous all over the country. My daughter heard the name of the little miracle doctor many times along the way and asked the little miracle doctor to take him in. The little girl is willing to sell herself as a slave. I just want to leave a way for my children to survive."
"Hey, it's like this again..." The steward frowned and wanted to help him, but saw that his young master and the little miracle doctor didn't move, so he just stood behind Guo Siyuan and watched what happened.
Luo Luo is generous, her father who was a scholar in the past must have taught her a lot. It was her own fault that she ended up like this because she couldn't distinguish reality.
Xining said slowly: "It seems that you are also a sensible person, but you were deceived for a moment and did something you shouldn't have done. There are some things in this world that have no regrets. In the end, you harmed yourself and your children."
The woman hugged the child, lowered her head, and shed tears unsatisfactoryly: "The little miracle doctor is right, the little girl has long regretted that she should have entrusted her innocence to this human being. But the big mistake has been made, and the little girl will bear all the consequences. I just ask the little miracle doctor to be benevolent and let the little girl sell herself and not involve the child, otherwise the little girl and the child will really have no way to survive."
"I want to give my children a bright future. How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are." Xining let out a long sigh, causing the woman's tears to roll down like beads threaded on a thread. These words are only directed at this woman and have nothing to do with the jade-faced white-eyed wolf. Damn Liu Yulang, he defrauded money and sex, and refused to recognize people when he pulled up his pants. He must have committed a lot of evil.
The cook in charge of the kitchen personally brought a plate of steamed buns over, with a flattering smile on her face: "These are the only ones in the kitchen. They are cold, but they are not hard when placed in the steamer. I heard that I wanted them in a hurry, so I brought them first. Please It’s up to the county.”
County Lord? The woman was a little surprised, she was not a little miracle doctor.
The woman looked up shyly, then immediately lowered her head. Although the man is much older and still has scars on his face, he is just as said, neither stupid nor crazy, and not too ugly to look at. What's more, he is also the protector of Xuanhumen. As long as the little miracle doctor makes the decision, it should be good.
The woman was helped up and seated closest to the door, and the buns were carried to the coffee table next to her.
"I dare not say anything else." Xining's words were like a guarantee, resoundingly: "First of all, I won't let you be my concubine. She is a real lady. Secondly, she won't be a fool or madman or someone with missing arms and legs. Furthermore, I guarantee you. The child will have books to study in the future. If he fails to study, he will be asked to learn a trade. As for how to develop, it depends on his own ability."
"Hel her up." Xining said with a smile, "I see you are hungry too, so eat something first. Only when you are full can you have the strength to reply."
Guo Siyuan's mouth burst into tears. He couldn't help but smile raging on his face. He was clearly gloating about his misfortune, completely forgetting the uneasiness he felt just now.
Guo Siyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't him.
At this time, the egg custard was brought over, and the cook who brought it also had a smile on her face: "County Master, Young Master, the chicken custard is steamed too slowly. The small ones are boiled directly with water, and very little water is added."
….
"Wait a minute!" Xining said leisurely: "I have no shortage of people here, so if you want to stay, it's not impossible. I just ask you if you are willing to marry, so that you don't have to be a slave."
"Huh?" Wu Jue was stunned. He probably wouldn't have been more surprised to see corpses on the ground in the middle of the night than he was now.
"Well, you two did a good job." Guo Siyuan said, "First go and help feed the child, and then go to the accounting room and receive a reward of one tael of silver each."
It was steamed buns with bean curd and bean curd filled with lard. When I smelled the aroma, the baby I was holding cried "Wow".
Next to him, Guo Siyuan was not calm anymore. Could it be given to him? She wanted to force him to leave, and kept arranging for him to marry a wife, and even took the children with her. She was even more ruthless than his mother.
When Wu Jue came over, he saw a man kneeling on the ground, and two cooks beside him were holding a baby and playing with it.
Wu Jue almost fainted. There is no such thing as a good match. Even the most outrageous person who wanted to catch a son-in-law would at least know about it.
The Taoist family was successful in the examination, but for his good junior sister, as long as she is a woman, it will be fine.
The woman quickly swallowed what was in her mouth, picked out the soft part of the bun and bit it off. After chewing a few mouthfuls, she fed it mouth-to-mouth to the child. With something to eat in her mouth, the child immediately stopped crying. The child had only three or four deciduous teeth and could only eat mush.
The two cooks are both in their thirties or forties, and have given birth to children. They are very skilled in holding and feeding them, and they even use a spoon to gently scrape the corners of the children's mouths from time to time.
"Thank you, young master, thank you, county master." The kitchen steward and the cook who delivered the egg custard smiled happily and saluted, becoming more attentive now. One went over to take the child, and the other helped to hold the bowl, so that the woman could just eat the buns first, and the two of them would feed them.
Then I heard: "Go and call Wu Jue."
Xining sat there and watched quietly. It could be seen that although the woman was eating steamed buns, her eyes wandered from time to time, and she must be thinking a lot. You can get a tael of silver for a reward here. If you can be a slave here, the child and she can live.
When there were four buns on the plate and three were put down, the woman wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, stood up, walked to the middle, and knelt down towards Xining.
Seeing the cold buns, the woman swallowed. After hesitating, she reached out and grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth. The way he wolfed it down showed that he had obviously not eaten breakfast.
"He is the protector of Xuanhumen. He is over thirty and has not yet gotten married. He is a bit older, but he is a real person. You will see if he will succeed." Xining's tone became much softer, and he even mentioned his expectant mother-in-law. With such a good expression: "By the way, what is your name, how old are you, and where are you from?"
Originally a fool was almost willing to marry, but now that she can study in the future, the woman immediately kowtowed: "It all depends on the arrangement of the county chief."
Xining said straightforwardly: "You're not young anymore. This is the wife I've chosen for you. If you think it's okay, just get it done in the near future."
Seeing that the child was eating well, the woman continued to eat the buns with confidence.
So he replied: "My little girl's surname is Fang, and her given name is Qingqing, which is taken from Qingqing Zijin in the Book of Songs. She is exactly eighteen years old this year. She is from Dongfangjia Village in Hedong Province."
Saying this is an endorsement of the marriage. Xining nodded: "First help Miss Qingqing up and send her to the guest room to rest. Wu Jue, you go buy the betrothal gift tomorrow, take the matchmaker with you, go to Fangjia Village to betrothal, and we will get married after the national mourning. Don't be reluctant to spend money. Silver, I still have the few hundred taels of silver you gave me. Later I will ask someone to buy a small house nearby, and then buy a shop for my wife to take care of. If Fang Xiucai is willing, you can live here, and the small house can also be used. You can support Fang Xiucai in his old age."
...Wu Jue was still there, but Miss Fang was already stunned. When she was helped out, she didn't know where to step with her feet. This sudden change made her feel like she was dreaming.
Yes, it must be a dream, a beautiful dream. All problems and difficulties disappear in an instant. Stop marrying a man with a scar, you can marry a really ugly fool.
