Because the Ji family has Xiu Xiuwen's status as a scholar and Xiu Mingyuan's talent, they only need to pay ten taels of silver.
Apart from Pei Linyun, the only adult man left in the Pei family is his widowed mother and three young children at home, so he was eager to buy a wife to go back and temporarily help him take care of the whole family.
Pei Linyun didn't plan to buy anything at first, but thinking of what those people said just now, he took Ji Qingyao to the grain store to buy some rice, flour, grains and oil, and gave an extra ten cents to the store to deliver to Xiaoxi Village.
After leaving the city gate, Ji Qingyao realized why Pei Linyun wanted the store to deliver goods to his door. The oxcart to Xiaoxi Village had already left early in the morning. If he had to wait for the oxcart to arrive, it would take at least an hour. Fortunately, it was from the town. It only takes half an hour to walk back to Xiaoxi Village.
Ji Qingyao carried her own baggage and walked towards Xiaoxi Village with Pei Linyun.
Ji Qingyao looked around. There were few pedestrians on the road now, so there was no need to worry about their conversation being overheard.
Originally, she had not planned to have a showdown with Pei Linyun so early. Although being betrayed was not in her plan, she saw the naked calculation and playfulness in the other party's eyes, and did not want to cause trouble for herself in the future, so she decided to explain her intention in advance. plan.
"Brother Pei, I want to ask you why you bought me back." The two of them were walking quietly, but when they heard Ji Qingyao's question, Pei Linyun paused, and then walked forward as if nothing had happened.
"Brother Pei, let's discuss it with you. No matter what your purpose is in buying me back, we can make a deal." Ji Qingyao knew that when negotiating with others, the party who speaks first will always deal with the weak, but she could see that Pei Linyun simply couldn't I don’t want to answer this question, so I state my requirements first and then put forward conditions.
The man was silent for a while and then said: "You tell me first and listen."
Ji Qingyao organized her words and said slowly: "If you buy me back, there are only a few consequences, one Xuxuan, two stepmothers, three concubines, no matter which one of these, you will not be able to achieve your wish.
I have no intention of getting married, and I have no interest in helping others raise children. I was sold today because I didn’t want to. In the end, I was voluntarily sold by the Song family just to repay the kindness of the Ji family for raising me over the years. I left with you voluntarily because I didn’t miss you. Lost both personal and financial resources.
I can hunt, and my kung fu is pretty good. The money you just saw me buy was all from selling game animals behind my family’s back.
I'm just saying this to negotiate a deal with you. During the years when you serve as a soldier, I can protect the lives of your family. If you have children at home, I can also enlighten them. They can learn martial arts if they want.
As for food and clothing, I don't think I need to worry about it. The relationship between you and me is just an employment relationship, nothing more. "
Pei Linyun didn't expect to hear Ji Qingyao's remarks. He thought she would tell him that she would be allowed to remarry if he died on the battlefield, but he didn't expect that she was not willing to marry him at all.
Pei Linyun felt indescribable anger in his heart. He thought that although Pei Linyun had not passed the examination, his appearance could be regarded as good among people from all over the country. The most important thing was that he had the ability to make money. Unexpectedly, he was raped by a little girl with no hair. Disgusted.
"What if I don't agree with you?" Pei Linyun gritted his teeth when he said this.
Ji Qingyao just pretended not to know and continued: "If you don't agree, don't agree. I can take care of your family as your wife. As for how well I take care of your family, it all depends on my mood. You don't need to threaten me with anything else. I am alone now, alone." With enough food, the whole family will not be hungry. With my ability, it is not difficult to leave Xiaoxi Village and find a place to live again. There is no place in the world that I can’t go to."
Ji Qingyao paused when she said this, and then continued: "To me, men in this world are just like pigs, unkind and unjust. You can tell that just by looking at my father.
No matter whether you live or die when you go to serve in the army, it will take several years to come back. If you meet the woman you like in the past few years while you are away, I will become the concubine that everyone despises. Although there are three men in this era. It’s normal to have four wives and concubines, but I don’t think I have the tolerance to tolerate a man hugging me from one side to the other. The final result is likely to be a dead end.
Putting all this aside, you just bought me for ten taels of silver. I don’t want to sell my life for ten taels of silver. It sounds a bit ugly. The girl in the flower house still has the right to redeem herself. Even if you buy me You sold me, but you didn’t register it with the government, and you didn’t have a document of betrayal. The laws of Daji Dynasty stipulate that privately buying and selling people is a serious crime. I think you don’t want to go to jail for this matter.”
Ji Qingyao talked for a while and her mouth was dry. If Nima had been beaten in her previous life, she would not be able to talk to people for a long time.
She ignored Pei Linyun's strange eyes, took out the water bag hanging at the tip of her waist and drank it.
