Huang Qiong, who understood King Yong's thoughts, said nothing more after a brief conversation with the housekeeper. He just bowed his hands to King Yong who was looking at him with a smile at the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion, then turned around and got on the sedan chair to leave. Behind him, King Yong kept watching Huang Qiong and his group. Only after his back completely disappeared did he turn around and return home.
King Yong, who thought Huang Qiong had really accepted these three women, didn't know that after returning to his mansion, Huang Qiong found the three women in front of him. Together with their deeds of selling themselves, plus three hundred silver notes for each of them, they were placed in front of the three women, and they said directly: "This is your deed of selling yourself, and now I will return it to you."
"You take the deed of sale and these three hundred guan, go back to your hometown and find a good man to marry. From now on, you will no longer have to live the life of an Israeli waiter. Although these 300 guan are not much, it is enough. I have bought dozens of acres of land. With a dowry of dozens of acres of land, no one dares to afford you, and you will have someone to rely on for the rest of your life."
"If you are worried that someone will embarrass you or harass you after you return home, I will write a letter and give it to you. If someone really embarrasses you, you can go directly to the local government to file a complaint. It must have the names of me and King Yong. If the head is there to suppress it, those local officials will not dare to neglect it."
Huang Qiong's first thought was that he could not keep these three women. As for whether he is worried about King Yong driving a nail into his house, there are already enough people planted by various forces in his house, not less than these three. He also believed that King Yong would not do such a stupid thing with his rough and delicate character.
Not to mention that King Yong's move was not only to show his goodwill to him, but also to test his trust in him. There may not be any people who actually put nails into their own houses, but they are almost negligible. Moreover, even if King Yong really plans to plant nails in his house, he who needs King Yong's help now can only endure it.
The reason why he didn't want to keep these three women was that besides what happened last night, he already felt deeply sorry for Chen Yao, who was currently running for him, and leaving these three women would only make Huang Qiong feel more guilty. Another important point is that these three women look too gorgeous.
Not to mention now, even in my previous life, when there were a lot of artificial beauties, these three women were absolutely top-notch in appearance and figure. Especially Tingting, although her appearance is not the best, her hot figure is definitely top-notch. For any man, as long as he is a normal person, it is difficult not to be inspired by the most primitive things.
People will get drunk if they are not drunk with wine, and people will be obsessed if they are not charming. Huang Qiong knew that she did not have strong control in this regard. Keeping these three beauties around, he was afraid that he would become addicted to them and unable to extricate himself. Especially since these three women still have such a background, if their mother finds out, she will never forgive her lightly.
When they heard that King Yong was going to send her away, the three women were not happy at all, but instead cried. The woman named Tingting may be older and more courageous. He looked at Huang Qiong and cried: "Your Majesty, if you can't accommodate us here, there really will be no place for us in this vast world."
"Your Majesty, what can we do when we go back? When we return home and wait until the pot is uncovered again, we will still be sold again. This time they were luckier and were sold to Prince Yong's Mansion. Although Prince Yong said he was greedy, Hua is lustful, but he is still okay as a human being.”
"Although there are more restrictions, there is no abuse. Except that we can't leave the house, we are quite comfortable. And after King Yong bought us, although he invited a lot of brothel people to teach us those things, But he never had time to touch us until he met the prince this time.”
"They are still virgins this time, so they are lucky, but they may not be so lucky next time. They might be sold to Goulan Yard, which is the real hell. Also, our families are ordinary people. , what can we do if those powerful people like us?”
"Now we still have some beauty to serve people, but what will we do when the day comes when we are old and beautiful. Besides, we are all in ruins now, and those with power will only treat us as playthings. As for ordinary people , If we marry someone, it might bring disaster to others, and that person dares to marry us."
"Your Majesty, your letter can protect us for a while, but can it protect us for a lifetime? Moreover, even if they have a home to return to, the little girl no longer even has a home. Her parents are no longer there long ago. . There is no place for me to live in the homes of several brothers. If I return to them, I will either be hastily married by them, or I will be sold again."
"As for my husband's family, they no longer have a place for me. Starving to death is a small thing, but a lack of integrity is a big deal. Although I was sold by my husband, I can still be regarded as a dishonest person in the eyes of the world. Their family considers themselves to be a scholarly family. How could this family allow me, an unruly person like me, to go back? My lord, you shouldn’t just watch me live in the Goulan Courtyard, or die in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.”
After all, this woman is slightly older and has more experience. Her words hit Huang Qiong's weakness. Huang Qiong's heart is still not so cruel that he can drive these women out of his house without any scruples. Especially the other two women, when they accompanied him last night, although they acted like veterans, they were actually still virgins.
Huang Qiong really couldn't bear the cruelty of being driven out of the house so forcefully. Even though he suffered a lot from women in his previous life, he also knew that women were much more cruel than men and should not be taken lightly. It can be seen that Huang Qiong finally relented after seeing the tears of these women.
"Since you already have a husband's family, I think your conversation is in order, and you don't seem to be from a small family. Why were you sold to Prince Yong's Mansion by your husband? You can talk to me about it. If you are reasonable , I, the king, decide everything with you, and I will never let them continue to bully you."
Huang Qiong was obviously curious about what Tingting said. The women of this era are far less powerful than the women in their previous lives. They have almost reached the status of being the only one who can speak for themselves. It is not uncommon for them to be sold by their husbands. It's just that a married woman can be sold into the prince's palace, which makes Huang Qiong a little curious.
Generally speaking, this kind of situation is not unheard of, but most of the time it is the man who takes a fancy to the woman's appearance and adopts some despicable means to seize the woman. But being actively sold into a prince's palace is almost impossible. As far as Huang Qiong knew, although King Yong was a bit lustful, he had never done anything to seize the palace.
However, when Huang Qiong asked this, in addition to being curious, he was also somewhat unwilling to give up. To put it bluntly, he was still struggling between the cruel gift of money and leaving these three women. He was looking for a reasonable excuse for himself.
"My surname is Gao. When I was eighteen years old, I married a scholar from Jingzhao Prefecture. I originally thought that this scholar not only had a decent family background, but was also a scholar. Once he passed the exam, he would be rewarded with all his hardships. But I didn't expect that this scholar would be rewarded. The scholar looks gentle on the outside. But at some point, he got into the bad habit of gambling. It was only after he got married that he discovered that he was a gambler."
"When my father-in-law was alive, he still had some taboos. Unfortunately, in the second year after his marriage, my father-in-law fell ill and passed away. And my mother-in-law, who only had a son in her later years, only doted on him and did not care about his behavior. He never exerts much control. He is addicted to gambling as his name suggests, but his gambling skills are not good and he almost loses every time he gambles."
"My slave husband's family is just a well-off family. How can it withstand such hardships like this? In less than two years, not only did he lose his enterprising spirit, he also neglected his studies, and his family was almost ruined. If it hadn't been for him With the reputation of being a scholar, you can also receive some money and food from the Yamen every month, but maybe your whole family has already starved to death."
"A year ago, he was jealous of gambling. Under the instigation of his friends who had been spying on the slave for a long time, he also put the slave on the gambling table. If King Yong was not there that day, his friends would not dare to use it. With his dirty tricks, I’m afraid this slave has been sent to hell long ago.”
"But even so, I lost to King Yong. How could he dare to fight against the prince of the dynasty? I could only say goodbye to my child who was just one month old and was sent to Prince Yong's Mansion. My biological father was originally a musician. I have been proficient in some music theory since I was a child, so I became a maiko in Prince Yong's palace. Later, because I was good at dancing, I was appointed by Prince Yong as the lead dancer this time."
"Maybe I think I'm not a virgin, but since I entered Prince Yong's palace, I've just been a dancing prostitute. Although I've found some people from the brothel to teach us some things about the boudoir, I didn't choose this slave to be our bedchamber. The two of them It's the same, but I have always been a maiko. Until I met the prince this time, it was nothing."
"My lord, I know that you are a gentleman. Last night, it was because of the presence of King Yong and King Shu that you had to wait with us. If it weren't for the presence of the other two princes, you would have flipped the table and left. My servant, these People know that their status is low, and they never dare to expect to fly up a branch and become a phoenix."
"I just hope that in the future, I will no longer be bought and sold like cattle, and will not be treated as a plaything. As the prince said, you can get rid of the life of serving people in Israel, even if you are a slave. If the prince There is no room for us, there really is no place for us in this big world." At this point, the woman's eyes turned red again.
After hearing this woman's words and looking at the expectant and longing look on her face when she looked at him, Huang Qiong sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, you guys will stay for now. If If you find someone you like in the future, just tell me about it, and I will send you out in a graceful manner."
"But before that, you must abide by the rules of the house. If you do something that you shouldn't do and you are caught by me, then don't blame me for being rude. I can do things that others can do. You can do it, and the means are equally good.”
In the end, he decided to keep these three women. In addition to being a little soft-hearted in the end, Huang Qiong also thought of some inadvertent memories from his previous life. After summoning Li Hai and taking the three girls down for resettlement, Huang Qiong thought of Chen Yao, who was currently running away and had no news at all, and fell into longing for her for a long time.
Looking at the leafy tree outside the study and listening to the constant chirping of cicadas on the tree, Huang Qiong didn't know whether he was right or wrong in leaving these three women behind. What he knows is that every man who despises women will fall miserably. Just like myself in the previous life, I never closed my eyes until I died. At this time, Huang Qiong missed Chen Yao who was nowhere to be found.
