Chapter 440 Wants to Buy Someone Again
Lu Xiang feigned anger and complained, "I have been waiting for you at home day and night. I don't think about food or tea. It's better for you. You are all focused on those things. The yellow and white things don’t remember me at all!”
Shen Yuezhang blinked her beautiful eyes innocently, looked at Lu Xiang up and down several times, and said crisply: “Sister Xiang, I see that you have become a little more mellow these days. Why do you stop thinking about tea and food?” He was so angry that he frowned, "Lu Xiang! Did you sneak into the kitchen to eat in the middle of the night again?"
"I didn't!" Lu Xiang retorted without thinking, but did not dare to tell Tang Look at each other.
The result was that he was punished by Tang's family to copy the female discipline rules.
Shen Yuezhang followed her back to the room. Seeing her dejected look, Shen Yuezhang secretly took out a small cake.
Lu Xiang’s eyes immediately lit up again.
Shen Yuezhang made a gesture of silence, "Don't make any noise, keep it for your stomach, let's copy books now! I'll accompany you!"
"Yuezhang, you are so kind! "Lu Xiang was moved to tears.
Shen Yuezhang asked back, "Aren't you angry with me? If I hadn't exposed you in front of my mother-in-law, maybe you wouldn't have been punished today!"
Lu Xiang sighed, "Even if you didn't tell me, My mother will also punish her Mine, because I really ate it secretly!”
Shen Yuezhang: “.”
“Didn’t I give you enough to eat?” Shen Yuezhang said! Can't understand.
Lu Xiang frowned and said, "You don't understand. I am growing tall now and I feel hungry soon after eating. However, my mother said that women cannot be fat. If they are too fat, they cannot get married. She is afraid that I will give myself up." If I become a fat man, I won’t be allowed to eat this, and I won’t be allowed to touch that.
Originally, I wanted to go to Qingfengzhai to find you, but she didn't agree, saying that I couldn't keep my mouth shut after I went to your place. Wow, oh, oh, I'm really miserable! ”
“It’s really quite miserable when you look at it this way! "Shen Yuezhang expressed deep sympathy for Lu Xiang's experience.
Lu Xiang looked at her slender figure with envy, and asked with red eyes: "Good sister, aren't you hungry? Or eating less? Or maybe your mother doesn’t give you food like my mother? Look at your body, you are only half as big as me. You are weak and weak. My mother said I have to be like you. "
Shen Yuezhang tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion.
Chun Xing couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Why are you laughing?" Lu Xiangdu asked dissatisfied.
Chun Xing hurriedly knelt down and explained, "Miss Lu, my eldest lady really has nothing to do with Fufeng Weiliu. She can knock a slave girl flying with one punch."
"Nonsense!" Lu Xiang was very angry.
Chun Xing was too frightened to say anything.
Shen Yuezhang waved his hand, "You go out first."
Chun Xing felt like she was being pardoned and hurried out of the room.
Lu Xiang said: "Sister Yuezhang is too tolerant to the servants, this is not okay!"
Shen Yuezhang laughed and shook his head, "What she said is right, I am indeed not Fufeng Xiao Liu, the reason why I am thin is because I am active a lot on weekdays. , Even if you eat more, it won’t have any effect. If you don’t want to eat and gain weight, you can learn boxing or do exercises from me. These are what my parents taught me.”
Lu Xiang heard this. You can eat without gaining weight, so I just said that I wanted to learn it without even thinking about it.
On this day, the two spent their time practicing calligraphy and boxing. Tang knew that her daughter was learning boxing from Shen Yuezhang and was very supportive. She turned a blind eye to Shen Yuezhang secretly sending snacks to Lu Xiang. She even wrote to Su Tai and told her these things as a joke.
At this time, Su Tai came to Qiongzi again, escorted by her bodyguards and accompanied by Shen Liang and Yu Mei of Shenzhuang Xu family.
When Yu Xinghai, the head of Xiaogang Village, saw the group, he quickly invited them home and served them tea respectfully.
"Mrs. Shen, what are your orders for coming here this time?"
While speaking, Yu Xinghai noticed Yu Mei standing next to Su Tai. After not seeing each other for half a year, Yu Mei seemed to have been reborn. Not only did her complexion improve, but her eyes also changed, as if she was several years younger.
It seems that they are living well in the Shen family.
Thinking of this, the smile on Yu Xinghai’s face widened a bit.
Seeing that he was listening attentively, Su Tai did not follow him around the bush and said directly: "Village Chief Yu, there are still a few people I asked for from you before. I came here this time to ask you to help me. I asked if there was anyone in the nearby village who would sell themselves to me.
The requirements are the same as before, as long as the people are honest, hard-working and not careless, I need at least twenty people."
Yu Xinghai was shocked that he only took away twenty in the spring. Now they want twenty more, which shows that the Shen family is really a big family.
He didn't dare to be vague, "Mrs. Shen, all the honest people in our village who are willing to sell themselves have gone with you. It's okay not to look at the rest. I'll go to the next few villages to help you inquire."
This time in When Mei comes back, people in the village will definitely be moved when they see her like this. I am afraid that many people will want to sell themselves to live a good life like Yu Mei. Such a person definitely does not meet Su Tai's requirements.
Su Tai nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'd like to trouble Village Chief Yu. If it's a woman, four taels for each, two taels for children, and six taels for men."
Yu Xinghai carefully arranged Take note of what Su Tai said and go out to do it quickly.
His daughter-in-law made food for Su Tai and others, and Yu Mei went to help.
Yu Xinghai's wife immediately asked about everyone's situation, "Have you ever been bullied in Langya Kingdom? Will people look down on us who come out of Qiongzi?"
Yu Mei shook her head, "We sold ourselves to the Shen family , as long as we do what the master tells us, the master’s rule is to talk less, ask less, listen more and do more. We don’t talk to the villagers on weekdays, and the master’s family has a high status in the village. We servants will also take advantage of it, and there will be no chance of being bullied."
When Yu Mei said this, Yu Xinghai's wife couldn't help but be envious, "Look at the clothes and shoes you are wearing now, they are better than mine. You won't be bullied there, it's much better than staying here. How does your son feel now? "
" It's good," Yu Mei said with a smile. Not much was said.
Seeing that Yu Xinghai’s wife couldn’t find out anything, she could only hold it in, but her heart became more and more envious.
In the evening, Yu Xinghai returned to the village, greeting the villagers all the way. When he got home, he couldn't wait to see Su Tai, "Mrs. Shen, I have already told the village chiefs of several other villages about your instructions. To be honest, which village There are poor people who are almost dying.
I explained the pros and cons to them clearly, and highlighted your requirements. They will bring them over tomorrow and you can choose them yourself.”
“Thank you, Village Chief Su Tai. Give Yu Xinghai a tael of silver to express his gratitude.
Yu Xinghai took the money and smiled from ear to ear, and immediately exited the room.
Seeing the person leave, Mrs. Xu said happily: "Xiao Tai, you can also help us with our eyes tomorrow. If appropriate, our family will buy five or six people to go back and help."
She didn't have these thoughts before. Ever since Su Tai bought someone, she saw with her own eyes that Su Tai arranged the household affairs to her servants and got away, and she gradually became interested.
