Chapter 108
The Xie and Zhao families have a strong foundation and a large size. Their foundation is shallow and their size is small, but the boat is small and easy to turn around. As long as they run fast enough, the wind and waves cannot catch up with them.
All I can say is that when there are strong winds and waves, each has its own advantages. Lu Songli quickly adjusted her mentality.
As the saying goes, strategically despise the enemy, but tactically pay attention to the enemy. Lu Songli didn't dare to take it lightly when fighting against these old foxes.
As a general, you should not worry about victory before worrying about defeat, so you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Lu Songli was the first to talk to Mo Bing.
Lu Songli asked all the maids to retreat, and she and Mo Bing were the only ones left in the whole room.
Lu Songli asked her, "Mo Bing, how about I free you from slavery?" After freeing her from slavery, she was no longer a slave, but a good citizen.
Hearing this, Mo Bing was shocked and knelt down with a plop, "Second Miss, don't drive me away, I have absolutely nothing against you!"
Lu Songli helped her up, "Where did you want to go? This is not why I want to release you."
Isn't it this? The second young lady was getting married, and they suddenly wanted to deal with her. She thought the second young lady was worried about her crawling into bed.
"I won't hide it from you. Next, there may be some changes in the Qin and Lu families. If you continue to follow me as a personal maid, you may be implicated."
Is that so? Mo Bing said quickly, "Second Miss, if I don't leave, I won't be afraid." The Second Miss is so smart, there must be no problem.
Because her family was poor, she was sold to Ren Yazi when she was a child. Her parents died two years ago, and she has a brother and sister-in-law at home. But what if you redeem yourself? She dared to say that as soon as she went back, what was waiting for her was to get married. It is still up to her brother and sister-in-law to decide who to marry, not her at all. It's okay if the man she marries is good, but if she's not good, then she will fall into a miserable life.
The world outside is so difficult. She is a weak woman and cannot do it. She is not the second young lady. The second young lady is smart. She thinks that the second young lady can live a good life no matter what her situation is. She follows the second young lady, who always protects her. When marrying a man, it's okay if he has the ability, but if he doesn't have the ability, he might as well be a second lady.
"But I need you to get rid of your slave status and then help me outside." Lu Songli said.
Is that so? Can! "Second Miss, I listen to you." Mo Bing agreed without saying a word.
Mo Bing quickly got her deed of prostitution, but according to Lu Songli's request, she did not go to the government office to register for the time being, and continued to stay with Lu Songli to help. She was deeply grateful for Lu Songli's trust and worked very hard.
Later, Lu Songli called Chen Rong and Luo Tieniu over and gave them their deeds of betrayal. Lu Songli didn't explain much to them, except that she needed them to work for her outside as good citizens.
The servants of the Lu Mansion soon learned the good news. The master's family had given them a favor because of the second young lady's wedding. After finishing the second young lady's wedding, a group of servants would be released before the end of the year. Many of these servants had saved enough money to redeem themselves and wanted to escape from slavery. Mo Bing, Luo Tieniu, Chen Rong and others were mixed in, so they didn't stand out. And Mo Bing still stayed in front of Lu Songli to serve him.
When Mo Bing saw Lu Songli handing over all their prostitution contracts at once, he couldn't help but ask, "Second Miss, aren't you afraid that the servants and others will betray you?"
Lu Songli smiled and asked her, "Would you do this?"
"No." Mo Bing shook his head.
"So, I believe you." Lu Songli answered her with a smile. She trusts those who employ her and ignores those who doubt her. She had prepared no fewer than five back-ups, and these back-ups overlapped with each other. Even if there was a problem in any place, they could all be corrected.
Besides, this crisis can be regarded as a screening for her.
Chen Rong and Luo Tieniu took the deed of betrayal and walked to the front yard together.
Chen Rong looked at Luo Tieniu's normal appearance and couldn't help but ask, "Luo Tieniu, don't you have any ideas after getting the deed of betrayal back?"
Luo Tieniu looked back and asked, "What do you have in mind?" He still had the idea, that is, to go out quickly and finish what the second young lady told him.
Chen Rong asked him directly, "Don't you think you are a good citizen now, and then find a mother-in-law, give birth to a lot of children, and be the master of the family?"
As soon as he heard this word, Luo Tieniu felt bad. He stared at Chen Rong defensively. Chen Rong's words reminded him of his hometown, where those who were in charge were living a miserable life. Moreover, many people lost their property and land, and brought their entire family to work as sharecroppers, without enough food or clothing. He felt that if he became the master of the family, he would not want to live like this in the future!
"Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"
Luo Tieniu shook his head quickly, shaking his head like a rattle, "Don't hurt me, I didn't think about it that way."
He felt that it was because Chen Rong had such a good uncle like Mr. Chen and had never experienced the beatings of life that he felt that being the master of the family was a good thing.
Of course, he is not saying that being a slave is a good thing. If the master you meet is not good, you will suffer.
Anyway, what he meant was that he thought it would be great to follow the second lady and just work honestly. Why do you think so much? And he feels that if he follows the second young lady, the second young lady will definitely not treat him badly, as will his wife, baby? Isn't that a matter of time? As for what the baby will do when he grows up? When the time comes, he will ask the second lady what he means. The second lady should be able to show him the way, right?
Chen Rong looked at him and shook his head. This man was quite loyal.
After arranging for Mo Bing and others, countless orders and arrangements came from Lu Songli.
…
In recent days, Lu Songyun has been running to her parents' house every day. Her sister is getting married soon and the family is crazy busy, so she comes back to help.
Her mother-in-law was considerate of her and took the initiative to help her look after the older two monkeys. And every time she came, her mother-in-law would try her best to make delicious food and ask her to bring some to her little sister.
Lu Songyun discovered that her mother-in-law really liked her little sister. She felt that if her mother-in-law hadn't found it difficult to come to the house because the Lu family was busy at the moment, she would definitely have wanted to come and visit relatives.
When she went back that day, Lu Songli gave her a wooden box and a letter and asked her to help deliver it to her mother-in-law.
Lu Songyun:? ? ? Why does her sister have such a good relationship with her mother-in-law? Why do you suddenly feel a little redundant?
…
"Sister-in-law, I need to trouble you with something."
"What's the matter? Ah Li, just say it, I'll do whatever my sister-in-law can do for you."
"Is such that……"
Not two days after their conversation, the medicinal materials originally stored in the warehouse by the Lu family were loaded into trucks and taken away in the middle of the night. They left the city almost as soon as the city gate opened. Later, in a small town somewhere, in a vacant but airy house, many high-quality medicinal materials were piled up.
Nanhua Lane
A young boy from the Lu Mansion led two servants, each carrying a load and a basket, and knocked on the broken door of Liu Erxi's house.
"Are you from Lu Mansion?"
"Yes, Mr. Liu, please let us go in first, right?"
Liu Erxi quickly opened the door, and after waiting for people to come in, he closed the door again, "What are you doing?"
The young man said, "Mr. Liu, it's almost the New Year. Zhuangzi has sent some crops, and our house can't finish them all. The second lady asked you to send some to Mr. Liu and Mr. Yang."
Liu Erxi said quickly, "I'm very thoughtful, and your second lady is too polite. I'll just share the rest and send it to them, so I don't need to bother you." Sister-in-law Xiao Liu is a very particular person, so she helps her with things. I feel very comfortable. Last time, she helped her buy the two maids sent by the Zhao family, and she also asked someone to take the money. After the matter was done, what was left was their thank you gift. In fact, they didn't care whether the thank you gift or not, but she did it this way, which made people feel very comfortable. Later, they continued to do some things for her that were difficult to do in the high-level compound.
"Okay, please excuse me."
Then, Liu Erxi, who was dividing things, found a box under the basket. He opened it and saw a letter on the top.
After reading the letter, he burned it, found the most private place to put the box away, and then went out with the divided things.
…
"Second Miss, please let the craftsman you are looking for find. The craftsman is a father and son, and they have already arrived in Chang'an City."
"okay, I get it."
So, Lu Songli took people out for an afternoon. She put on her curtain hat and met the craftsman and told her her request.
After leaving the house, Lu Songli took Mo Bing to a nearby silver shop to pick out jewelry.
In the evening, Lu Songli got what she wanted.
The pair of craftsmen were quickly sent out of Chang'an City, and then sent directly to the canal dock and left by boat.
It wasn't until they got on the boat that the craftsman father and son breathed a sigh of relief, touched the banknotes in their arms, and smiled reassuringly. After completing this task, they can build a house and marry their son a wife after returning to their hometown.
Yang Wei Escort Agency
"Chief escort, the escort agency received a very strange escort order."
"What's the escort?"
"It's just to protect people on a long journey, and escort them from Chang'an to their destination."
"Who is the person we are escorting? Where is the destination? When will the escort begin?"
"The time, place and person were not written in the letter. It only mentioned the agreed token. If our people see a red cloth tied on the door of Yangwei Tavern in Xinghua Hutong, it will be almost time to set off. The time will be about a month. It won’t last more than two months. It’s also marked as not very dangerous.”
What a strange escort order. The head escort didn't want to take it, but the other party gave me too much.
"Head, are you really not going to answer it?"
They also said that they would give a 20% deposit, and if they didn't need to provide escorts in the end, they would get 20% for free! This is a pie thrown at their heads. Are you sure you don’t want to eat it?
The head escort looked at the number mentioned above and was very shaken in his heart. As long as they accepted this order, they could support the entire escort agency for one year. It would really be three years without opening, and three years after opening.
The head escort looked at the longing eyes of the brothers below, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Take it!" He did it, he was full of sincerity, and his escort agency was not unkind.
The old escort was deep in thought.
Seeing this, the chief escort asked, "Uncle Zhang, what are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking that our escort agency will have good luck this year."
"How to say?"
"The employer of this single escort is as generous as the Lu family who came to me a while ago. The Lu family's work is easy, and the owner gives a lot. At the beginning of this year, we used roasted pigs to worship the God of Wealth? Wait. Let’s do the same thing next year.”
The head escort thought about what Uncle Zhang said, and it seemed that it was indeed the case.
All the brothers in the escort agency knew that Uncle Zhang went to work for the Lu family for a period of time. Not only did he make a lot of money, he was also fatter when he came back. Life was good.
"Okay!" Bow down and let the God of Wealth continue to bless their Yang Wei escort agency.
