Is the money relationship strong enough?
Anyway, the numbers are recorded in the ledger, and they are not small. I met him by chance and spent so much money on him. Could it be a normal relationship?
Even if you think about it stupidly, there must be something fishy in it.
But I didn't tell him, I let him guess. Seeing his expression changing, I felt that my bad taste was satisfied.
"So...we're getting married?" He came to this conclusion, which I didn't expect.
Don't blame me for thinking the worst about everything. I thought he would suspect that I had long recognized his identity and was willing to spend money on him to gain the power, money, and status of the Arturo family.
But this time Wen Mian and I came to Sun City to ask him to repay his kindness.
But he didn't speculate in this direction, and he didn't say words like "keeping". He said getting married.
Could it be that he remembered something?
The pile of toys outside the door are all things I bought for him. They are all things he asked for from me. The colors and styles are the same.
"Using your identity as a couple to cover up others' eyes is not a real couple, don't worry." I have to clarify that I have never done anything like taking advantage of others when they are stupid.
"I just came back and I don't have that much money with me. Let me pay you back slowly." He put the small book into his arms, took out a gold cake from the box on the table and handed it to me.
"Sure, I support installment payment and no interest is charged." I took the gold cake and put it in my pocket. When he was stupid, I could treat it as charity. Now that he has become smarter and is willing to pay back the money, I have no reason not to accept it.
He said that since I was his benefactor, I should live there instead of letting my benefactor stay in an inn. There were so many people there and it was not as quiet and quiet as this house.
To be honest, the inns in Sun City are quite expensive. I am thinking of renting a house to live in. The monthly payment is cheaper than staying in an inn.
I don't know where Wen Mian went. I have to wait for him to come back. Being thrown into jail is not a bad thing. There is a free cell to live in, but now it seems that there is no need to sleep in a four-person room.
"Do I have a name? What is it?"
"You were poisoned? Your name is Yunzhou."
"Well, you can continue to call me that."
Interestingly, he didn't remember his name during the poisoning period, but he knew he had a name at that time.
"your name?"
"Angel."
"I know." Yun Zhou, who had recovered his intelligence and memory, was not a talkative person.
He stayed with me and arranged the best guest room for me to stay in. On the way to the guest room, I asked the little maid who led the way if anything had changed since Mr. Xuan came back.
The little maid said disapprovingly: "The changes are huge. After the young master came back, he added many strange habits."
She pointed to the vegetable field on the roadside and said, "Well, my son used to like to grow flowers, but after he came back he only grew vegetables."
"Also, our young master is obviously not married yet, but when he dreams at night, he always calls "Madam, Madam" in his dreams, as if there really is a lady. Alas... maybe it's because of the bumpy road of love, and he wants to get married so much that he finally waits for one. Princess, we were robbed by bandits again, why do you think our young master’s life is so miserable?”
The little maid talked all the way, very much like Wan'er who sold Yunzhou to me. Logically speaking, she shouldn't tell so many private things about Yunzhou to strangers, but she couldn't help it. She said that it was the first time that her young master stayed here. A female guest was staying at the house, and she was excited...
Sure enough, she saw that the princess had run away. Even if she found her, the woman who had been kidnapped by the bandits would probably no longer be able to marry Yun Zhou. Why not take advantage of this moment to find a good wife first?
"If you ask me, that barbarian princess is fierce and savage, and is really not a good match. Our young master has such a gentle temperament. He will rarely be bullied after marriage. How can there be happiness if his temper is not harmonious? I would say that this marriage is a boast. That’s fine.”
The little maid looked younger than Wan'er, only thirteen or fourteen years old. She had a childish face and spoke in "adult" terms.
"Are you an old man in the house?" From her tone, I seemed to be very familiar with Yunzhou. However, after Yunzhou's accident, the fate of the people in his house was very miserable, especially those who served closely. Seeing Wan'er and guard Jia They'll know.
"I'm not very old. I've only served the young master for five or six years, staying vigil outside the house, watching the lights and other things.
Before my son disappeared, my mother was seriously ill, and I just returned to the countryside... Sigh~"
The servants in Yunzhou Mansion are always freer and more at ease than those elsewhere. The little maid's name is Xiang'er. After Yunzhou's accident, she gained trust in the countryside and did not dare to return to the city. She took her parents to hide in My cousin's family lived in Yunzhou until he returned to the city.
Although this girl is young, she is smart and clever. She is a little girl of 12 or 13 years old, and she can take her parents to hide in her cousin's house, which shows that she is also able to handle things at home.
"I knew the young master would come back, and everything would be fine when he came back."
"Yeah." I watched her busy in the house, chatting with me and packing things. She also told me not to mind. There were many servants in the house, but most of them grew vegetables and maintained the vegetable fields.
There were not many servants to take care of the food, drink, and toilets. It wasn't that Yun Zhou couldn't afford to hire one, but it was just annoying to him. He just needed someone to take care of the house so that it wouldn't be full of dust.
Xiang'er felt that Yunzhou's mood was different after his ordeal.
When life reaches such a low point, it is normal for a person's personality and habits to change.
After the room was cleaned up and Xiang'er was about to leave, she suddenly bowed deeply to me and said that no matter what, she wanted to thank me for saving their son and protecting him well during the crisis.
Without me, Yun Zhou might not have come back alive.
I accepted her bow calmly, and she came over to clean the room every day and "accompany" me to talk.
There was also a servant who served tea and meals, and helped in the kitchen. Since there was no one else in the house, there was only Yunzhou, the master, and me as a guest. The housekeeper did not hire anyone else to wait on me, so he made temporary arrangements from various places. People, part-time waiters.
Fortunately, I meditate in the house all day long, and occasionally walk in the yard. I get what I want three meals a day, and I don’t have any extra requirements.
There was no need for anyone to keep vigil outside the house at night, but Yun Zhou came over a few times in the middle of the night and just walked around in the yard.
Then Xiang'er became the microphone. Yunzhou asked her what I wanted or what I needed to buy.
Xiang'er is very willing to be this "middleman", but I really don't need anything. My life is so simplified that I am almost "ascended to immortality", and I don't have any worldly desires.
Maybe someone gave him an idea. If I don't want it, he will give it to me.
Fabrics, jewelry, perfume, rouge, all the products sought after by women in Suncity are delivered to them like a stream of water.
I especially want to ask him whether he has money or not?
He doesn’t pay off the bills in his small notebook, but he doesn’t hesitate to buy luxury goods.
Xiang'er said that when her son buys these, he has one standard: not the best, but the most expensive.
Xiang'er covered her mouth with joy as she spoke, saying that her young master didn't seem to be repaying a favor, but rather seemed to be pursuing a girl.
That is, if he wants to repay his kindness, he can just give me money. In exchange for these things, I can't use them and I can't take them away.
"Miss An, even the wives and ladies of the Xi family don't get this kind of treatment." Xiang'er said that Yunzhou picked out the royal tribute-level goods from overseas and selected the best ones. , take it back and give it to me.
It is said to be a beauty balm. In the place where this product is produced, five grams of finished product can be made in a year. A box of 50 grams takes ten years to save.
There is no such thing anywhere else, and the local quantity is just like this.
Whitening, brightening, wrinkle removal, skin rejuvenation...it doesn't have too many functions, and it takes effect overnight after being applied. Although it only lasts for 24 hours, it is still a good thing that royal concubines and rich ladies want to get. .
In previous years, if the Xi's merchant ship came back with a box of this ointment, it would be handed over to the clan leader, who would then decide whether to give it away or reward it.
There are also people around the clan leader who want to beg, including wives, concubines, and children who are valued. It is not that there are no examples of successful begging.
Yun Zhou was not favored by his father in the past, so he would definitely not look for trouble.
Xiang'er said that this time was different. Yunzhou not only went, but also had a very tough attitude.
His father seemed to want to "compensate", so he gave it to him whenever he asked.
Also asked who it was to be given to?
Yun Zhou would not be using it for himself. He wants something that is widely loved by women.
Most likely it was given to some girl.
Yun Zhou only said that he would give it to someone, but he did not say to whom.
So not only Xi's family members were curious, but also those who were related to Xi, those who had interests in it, and those who were just curious, all were guessing who he was going to give it to.
A well-informed person revealed that Yunzhou picked up a female prisoner from the Sun City Prison a few days ago. She entered his mansion and never left...
These words are so fascinating that no one mentioned the matter of "repaying a favor" at all.
There are no big melons in the world, I'm afraid those who are willing to dig deep.
Which female prisoner is so charming that Yunzhou would not hesitate to use his unconventional power to take her away and still stay in her house?
Oh, it's the master of the kidnapper who kidnapped the Fire Tribe princess, so that's not surprising.
The apprentice kidnaps the married princess, and the master lives in the prospective groom's house. It's so reasonable!
When Xiang'er said this, she was very excited and waving the rag in her hand.
Normally she talks while working, but when it comes to "love drama", she stops what she is doing unconsciously and her eyes light up.
I felt like she wanted to rush over and shake my arm, but she reluctantly held back due to her identity.
"So, Yunzhou and I fell in love first. After he came back, he was forced to marry the princess. When I heard the news, I rushed over with my disciples to stop the marriage. But political marriages cannot be forgotten. , the three of us secretly discussed and came up with a plan to kidnap the princess, Yun Zhou and I." I listened to her talk for a long time and finally concluded.
"That's right!" Xiang'er put down the rag and picked up the feather duster and waved it, "The next step is that you are pregnant with the young master's child, preferably a boy, and he will be carried through the door naturally."
I found that some things are the same everywhere. The truth is not important. What is important is the truth that everyone likes to hear.
"If I remember correctly, according to the Xi family's clan rules, if a son is married, the woman can only be a concubine."
"Miss An, you don't want to hear this. When a young man gets married, he will eventually find the right person. If it's not a princess, he will be a noblewoman from some family. But that's not important. What's important is your child. The Xi family, the wife will be divided." There is no distinction between sons whether they are big or small, whether they are born by a wife or a concubine, all rights are equal to food, drink, education, and business.”
"Fortunately -" Fortunately, the above content was all fabricated. As soon as he said this word, a low voice sounded outside the door.
"Xiang'er, what are you talking about?"
