Through the rebirth of the husband and wife Qingxi
Chapter 62 Buying a Servant
Early in the morning, Chunyu and Chunhua went to buy handymen and carriages. After Yu Qingxi fed Tang Bao with milk soup, Chunji led him to play in the yard.
Yu Qingxi walked to the back room, and the dark man who sent the letter yesterday fell in front of him, and what he handed over was not only the bank note, but also a piece of paper.
The dark man said: "Master, the snack shop is open, and meat floss can also be supplied. In addition, there are few Jia Yu's products outside."
Yu Qingxi saw that the shops outside did not sell all kinds of biscuits and cakes, and there were also yogurt and honey that had never appeared in the shops.He smiled, pointed to a cookie and asked the dark man: "Do we sell this in our store in Qizhuang?"
The dark man glanced up, then lowered his head and said, "At first, it was provided in the Zhuangzi at the music party, and later it was matched with banquets in the restaurant from time to time."
"Not in all restaurants?" Yu Qingxi asked.
"Yes." The dark man nodded.
Yu Qingxi understood that this concert was organized by the current empress, and these biscuits and cakes must have something to do with him.Maybe the output is very small, so it is not sold on the market.Now that he opened a snack shop, the master provided him with this item.
"Master also said that these snacks are delicious just out of the oven. If you want to learn this kind of craft, you can pay 1000 taels to get a craftsman, and then return it to him after you learn it." The dark man said.
Yu Qingxi smiled, he liked this businesslike tone.He looked at the bank note he had just received in his hand, it was 3000 taels again, so he drew one and gave it to the dark man.The dark man naturally understood, and immediately picked it up to reply to his master.
Yu Qingxi put the rest of the bank notes into the miscellaneous notes again, then sat down and looked at the list of goods slowly.Meat floss can be ordered soon, so the jerky that was passed on yesterday should also be able to be ordered soon.He remembered that the oil paper made by Xi's family could be used to wrap dried meat, but it didn't look high-end enough.He needs whiter oil paper, and meat floss and the like need to be packaged in porcelain jars, and a batch of these porcelain jars needs to be ordered.For sweets and the like, porcelain jars are also good, and it is also good to wrap them in oiled paper and put them in small bamboo baskets.He thought about it for a while, Qi Zhuang's business firms could pick up these things, so why not let Qi Zhuang do them together.
Yu Qingxi painted some large and small porcelain pots, some are fresh autumn flowers, some are elegant plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, and some are complicated gilt rich peonies.Because his modern studies are quite complicated, and he has also dabbled in painting, these patterns are not difficult for him.The years are quiet now, and when I think of that life again, it seems like a dream.At that time, because the job he would do in the future was the same as that of his father, the things he learned were complicated and complicated, and he didn't know what roles he would play in the future. For a certain task in the future, he had to learn everything.He lived for nearly 20 years in that life. He didn't have a single friend, and he was constantly learning various skills every day.
Tang Bao called him "Yuyu" from outside, and Yu Qingxi regained his senses and calmed down all the loneliness on his face.He put away the drawings and walked outside.
In the courtyard next door, Ren Sangyu's colleague somehow came back at this time, followed by a nanny and an infant child.The husband and wife stared blankly at the infant child in a daze, without saying a word.
Yu Qingxi called Chunji and Tangbao back to the house, and left the yard for them to talk.Tang Bao finally saw Yuyu, felt a little aggrieved, and lingered in Yu Qingxi's arms for a while to get better.Chunji took the minced vegetable noodles from the small stove, and Yu Qingxi fed him bit by bit.Tang Bao grabbed Yu Qingxi's hand and ate happily.After eating, Yu Qingxi wiped his little mouth and let him slowly fall asleep.
After Tang Bao was put on the bed in the back room, Yu Qingxi took a look at the drawings again.He thought about it, why not mark the name of his shop on the packaging he ordered.The snack shop hadn't been named yet, so he thought about it, and wrote the words "can't be idle" on the paper.He smiled, let's just say this, he couldn't keep his mouth shut, it was quite appropriate.He traced these three characters on the porcelain pot, and painted a circle of twigs around it.Since the porcelain jars are marked in this way, oil paper and bamboo art baskets must also be marked. You only need to print the three characters on the back of the oil paper, and the bamboo art baskets can use silk thread to make the lines of the three characters in the gaps. , is also simple.
He put these drawings in an envelope, and put them in the miscellaneous notes.He planned to wait for the dark man to come back and ask him again.News related to business opportunities can be passed on to the master, but such news about ordered items does not bother the master.
Not long after, Chun Yu came back, stood outside the door and knocked twice.Yu Qingxi checked the desk before walking slowly to the outer room.
Chun Yu poured a cup of tea for Yu Qingxi, and reported to him: "Third Young Madam, I bought four handymen this morning, and took a slave girl and a child with me." After speaking, he handed over several deeds of prostitution.
Yu Qingxi glanced at her.
"The handymen are all four taels of silver each, and the slave girl and child are the wife and children of one of the handymen, and the whole family bought it for five taels of silver." Chun Yu said, "I see that the slave girl and the child are honest, and the yard is also I need someone to do the laundry, so I bought it." Knowing that this matter was her own, she raised her eyes to look at Yu Qingxi, and said, "The third young lady can see those slaves when she has time. I have agreed with Yazi, if you are not satisfied, you can exchange it."
"How old is that child?" Yu Qingxi asked.
"Two years old." Chun Yu lowered her head.
Yu Qingxi understood that this wife and child might be a drag on the slave.He said: "If you don't buy his wife and children, but just buy him, how much money is it?"
"That slave is very stubborn, and he will never be separated from his wife and children." Chun Yu said, "That slave is very tall and strong, and buying him alone costs five taels of silver. His wife and children are a gift. .”
"Where are they in the shop now?" Yu Qingxi asked.
"Yes," Chun Yu said, "The master bought some buns for them, and stayed there to work after eating."
"Okay, let's talk about it after I have a look." Yu Qingxi said.He didn't affirm it right away, nor did he deny it. Because Chun Yu was very loyal to him in his previous life, he treated her favorably, but he wouldn't let her go because of this.He glanced at Chun Yu's face, there was no trace of displeasure, and he was quite satisfied in his heart.He said: "You will still be in charge of the arrangement of the work in the house. You should be more careful, and don't allow others to take advantage of your loopholes. When Chunting and the others come, you can distribute some more."
Chun Yu raised her head and glanced at Yu Qingxi, a little confused about taking advantage of loopholes.
"Not to mention the store we are about to open in the front, if the third young master is willing to live there in the future, everything in the house should be carefully checked." Yu Qingxi said.
"Yes! I will do my best to relieve the worries of the third young lady." Chun Yu immediately understood.The third young master is a salt official, how can there be miscellaneous people around him.And that shop, she has also heard of it, and eating shops are taboo to be tampered with secretly.
During lunch, Ren Sangyu walked in, and seeing Yu Qingxi holding Tang Bao to wipe his face, he said, "Did Tang Bao wake up?"
"Yes." Yu Qingxi smiled, looked at the blushing Tang Bao, and nodded happily on the tip of his little fleshy nose.
Ren Sangyu saw that he liked Tang Bao so much, so she sat down and thought about it: "This morning, a child was brought to the yard, did Qingxi see it?"
"I see." Yu Qingxi nodded, but with just one glance, he went back to the room.Originally, if he wanted to listen to their words in the house, it would be easy for him, but he didn't, and concentrated his mind on sugar treasures and snack shops.
"My colleague bought it from a poor family outside. When he was just born, he took care of it and treated it as his own child," Ren Sangyu said.
Yu Qingxi looked up at him: "Sang Yu...do you want a child?"
Seeing his serious face, Ren Sangyu knew that he had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Where! I just saw that you like Tang Bao so much, so I asked what you mean."
Yu Qingxi lowered her eyes: "I'm not a twin, so I can't have children."
"I know." Ren Sangyu nodded.
"Husband...do you want to take a concubine?" Yu Qingxi asked again.
"How could it be?" Ren Sangyu shook his hand and said, "Didn't I say it earlier, I don't take concubines."
Yu Qingxi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were calm, and he didn't dodge at all.
Ren Sangyu sighed lightly and said, "I mean, if Qingxi is envious, we can adopt one too."
"What's your husband thinking?" Yu Qingxi asked.
"I don't want to adopt a child so early. I don't want to take too much of your attention from a sugar baby." Ren Sangyu smiled, "If it takes three to five years, I can consider it." Now the second child in Xingyu's family There is a doll in the belly, and a girl in the front. If this baby is born as a boy, it must be reluctant to adopt it to them.There are two male dolls in Changyu's family, but they are worse than adopting them at birth.He thought about waiting for a few years, and when they had another baby, he would adopt one of them, regardless of gender, and raise it under Yu Qingxi's lap as soon as he was born.
"Then let's wait a few years, I just hold Tang Bao and play with it, I'm not envious." Yu Qingxi said.
"Really." Seeing Yu Qingxi nodding seriously, Ren Sangyu responded, "Well, we'll talk about it in a few years."
Chunji brought the food to the table, and the two sat down to have lunch.Yu Qingxi glanced across the room inadvertently, and there were warm and soft words in it.He smiled, it seems that the little concubine probably won't be sent here.
After lunch, Ren Sangyu went to take a nap, while Yu Qingxi was playing in the yard with Tang Bao in his arms.The person next door saw Yu Qingxi in the yard, so he invited him over to see the doll.
Yu Qingxi felt that the newborn baby was no fun, so she closed her eyes and just focused on sleeping, but it passed.Tang Bao huddled beside the crib, looked at the little doll inside, and wanted to poke it with his finger, but looked at the strangers on both sides before he stretched out his hand, whether he dared or not.Yu Qingxi smiled as she watched the heads of two adults and a child leaning together beside the crib.Tang Bao looked at it for a while and then stopped, turned around and hugged Yu Qingxi's leg begging for a hug.
As soon as Yu Qingxi picked up Tang Bao, the two asked him if he wanted to hug their doll.Tang Bao seemed to understand, and immediately hugged Yu Qingxi's neck tightly, not letting go.Yu Qingxi smiled, patted Tang Bao lightly, and said to them: "Look, Tang Bao is jealous before hugging!"
The two adults both smiled, and the man and wife said: "You love this baby very much."
"Yeah." Yu Qingxi kissed Tang Bao's forehead, then looked at their dolls, "Your dolls look good, they look a lot like you."
"Really?" The man and wife looked at the doll carefully again.
"The eyes are long. Although they are closed now, they will definitely be big when they are opened in the future, just like you." Yu Qingxi said, "The little nose is straight, and the nose is pouty. Looking at it, you are blessed, but it looks like you." Your master."
"That said, it's really true!" The two of them watched it further, and felt that it was more and more true.
After coming out of that house, Yu Qingxi couldn't help thinking that after raising a baby, the two of them wouldn't even need a nap.He couldn't help laughing, he could be quieter at night.
After Ren Sangyu went to Qianya, Yu Qingxi saw that Tang Bao didn't intend to sleep yet, so he took him to the street together.The carriage was bought in the morning, and Chun Yu didn't know how to drive, so when he came back in the morning, he walked back and left the carriage in the courtyard.So, they still walked over.
When Yu Qingxi arrived at the house, those handymen were cleaning the shop and the house.The tiles on the roof have been checked again, broken tiles have been replaced, the beams and roof have been dusted, and the inside and outside of the house are being cleaned.Yu Qingxi quickly recognized the slave who bought it for five taels of silver. It was obvious among the four that he was a bit taller.As soon as he entered the central hall, he called them over one by one, and asked them about their respective abilities.The other three used to be servants in another house, as servants, and they could read simple characters, nothing special.But the one with five taels of silver is special. He used to follow merchants and darts on a merchant ship, and later killed someone and was sent to prison for a few months of labor. Now he has just been released as a slave.
"I didn't ask carefully, please forgive me, Third Young Madam." Chun Yu immediately knelt down upon hearing this.
Yu Qingxi looked at Tang Bao who was starting to peck rice with chickens in his arms, and covered up the thin cloak, and handed it to Chun Yu: "You take Tang Bao to the backyard and sleep." She stretched out her hand, and saw Tang Bao grabbing him tightly The fat hand on the placket couldn't help smiling.He stretched out his hand to caress the back of Tang Bao's hand, making gentle circles, Tang Bao's hand gradually loosened.
Chun Yu didn't ask any more questions, picked up Tang Bao and walked back.
Yu Qingxi looked around, and the other servants went to work in the front shop and the backyard after asking questions, and now there was no one here, and it was very quiet.He looked at the boorish man in front of him and asked, "Bajin, right? I heard that your baby is only two years old."
"Yes," the reckless man called Ba Jin, his face softened a little when he heard his master mention his doll, and then he said immediately, "Master, our doll doesn't need to be fed. He will do it, and he will never run around and cause trouble for the master. Although the doll is small, he can already do the job of lighting the fire and watching the stove. I beg the master to keep our doll."
"You know how to light the fire and look at the stove at the age of two?" Yu Qingxi looked at him.
"Yes." Bajin replied.
"I see that there is no shortage of people to light the fire here." Yu Qingxi saw him wrinkle his face, and thought for a while, "You said your baby doesn't need rations, so you just save it for him?"
"Yes." Bajin nodded repeatedly.
"What about your mother-in-law?" Yu Qingxi asked.
"Huh?" Bajin thought that his wife would be able to sew and do laundry anyway, so it would be no problem to earn a ration, but now what the master means is that his wife doesn't have any rations either?Thinking about it again, there are enough servants here. I have seen seven or eight people in the courtyard after entering the courtyard three times. It seems that there is no need for servants like his wife and children.He sighed silently in his heart, and said, "It's also taken from the slave's ration."
"Your ration is given to one bun per meal, so one cent is enough?" Yu Qingxi said.
"Slaves can eat half a piece, and I beg the master to take in the slave's mother-in-law." Ba Jin said.
"What if I don't?" Yu Qingxi took a sip of tea and looked at him.
"Then the boss will sell our family." Ba Jin's shoulders were still erect, not moving at all. He couldn't leave his wife and children just for a job.
Yu Qingxi didn't answer. This reckless man can bear it, but he also has the principle of tolerance, so he is still satisfied.Yu Qingxi glanced at the shop in front of him, and asked him, "Have you killed someone before?"
"No." Ba Jin looked up at him, "Slaves rely on their strength to eat, and don't do such things."
Yu Qingxi's eyes loosened, and the sunlight reflected in and turned into specks of light, flowing in his eyes.Suddenly, he changed his voice, looked straight into Bajin's eyes, and asked, "Why is murder in your name?"
"This...is pressed on my head by the official," Ba Jin's eyes were a little blurred, and he spoke slowly, "I didn't tell the girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it. But I think that instead of being troubled by others in the future, Why don't you tell Madam earlier."
Yu Qingxi understood, and asked again: "Who did you offend before?"
"Second Young Master of Hengtong Commercial Bank." Bajin's eyes were still so blurred, and he said slowly, "Second Young Master sent someone to ambush the eldest son in the business, I rescued the eldest son, and when I turned around, I was framed for killing the escort of the same merchant .”
"Your eldest son didn't save you?" Yu Qingxi had never heard of this firm.
"The evidence is convincing. The eldest son watched me pick up the knife, so naturally he didn't believe that I was framed." Bajin's confused eyes began to fluctuate, and his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was worried about that incident at that time.
Seeing this, Yu Qingxi gently dropped the tea lid on the tea bowl, and a small crisp sound made Ba Jin tremble all over, and he immediately woke up.Yu Qingxi didn't seem to see anything, and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.
Bajin just came back to his senses when he saw the lady drinking tea in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.Was he distracted just now?If it wasn't for being distracted, why couldn't I remember what I was doing just now?No, it seems that Madam asked him that he was charged with murder.No one would believe him if he said that he was framed, and no one would believe him or not the official for no reason.He thought about it, but he didn't explain anything. It should be the same result whether he explained or not.He was so tired that his wife and children suffered with him all the time, and he sighed softly in his heart.
"Go down and do your work," Yu Qingxi said, "Your doll is too small, don't get close to the stove and fire, let your mother-in-law watch while she is doing her work."
"Yes..." Bajin was puzzled.Is this what left him?With the name of murder on his back, can he still work here?
Yu Qingxi walked to the back room, and the dark man who sent the letter yesterday fell in front of him, and what he handed over was not only the bank note, but also a piece of paper.
The dark man said: "Master, the snack shop is open, and meat floss can also be supplied. In addition, there are few Jia Yu's products outside."
Yu Qingxi saw that the shops outside did not sell all kinds of biscuits and cakes, and there were also yogurt and honey that had never appeared in the shops.He smiled, pointed to a cookie and asked the dark man: "Do we sell this in our store in Qizhuang?"
The dark man glanced up, then lowered his head and said, "At first, it was provided in the Zhuangzi at the music party, and later it was matched with banquets in the restaurant from time to time."
"Not in all restaurants?" Yu Qingxi asked.
"Yes." The dark man nodded.

"Master also said that these snacks are delicious just out of the oven. If you want to learn this kind of craft, you can pay 1000 taels to get a craftsman, and then return it to him after you learn it." The dark man said.
Yu Qingxi smiled, he liked this businesslike tone.He looked at the bank note he had just received in his hand, it was 3000 taels again, so he drew one and gave it to the dark man.The dark man naturally understood, and immediately picked it up to reply to his master.

Tang Bao called him "Yuyu" from outside, and Yu Qingxi regained his senses and calmed down all the loneliness on his face.He put away the drawings and walked outside.
In the courtyard next door, Ren Sangyu's colleague somehow came back at this time, followed by a nanny and an infant child.The husband and wife stared blankly at the infant child in a daze, without saying a word.
Yu Qingxi called Chunji and Tangbao back to the house, and left the yard for them to talk.Tang Bao finally saw Yuyu, felt a little aggrieved, and lingered in Yu Qingxi's arms for a while to get better.Chunji took the minced vegetable noodles from the small stove, and Yu Qingxi fed him bit by bit.Tang Bao grabbed Yu Qingxi's hand and ate happily.After eating, Yu Qingxi wiped his little mouth and let him slowly fall asleep.

"That slave is very stubborn, and he will never be separated from his wife and children." Chun Yu said, "That slave is very tall and strong, and buying him alone costs five taels of silver. His wife and children are a gift. .”

Yu Qingxi lowered her eyes: "I'm not a twin, so I can't have children."
"I know." Ren Sangyu nodded.
"Husband...do you want to take a concubine?" Yu Qingxi asked again.
"How could it be?" Ren Sangyu shook his hand and said, "Didn't I say it earlier, I don't take concubines."
Yu Qingxi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were calm, and he didn't dodge at all.
Ren Sangyu sighed lightly and said, "I mean, if Qingxi is envious, we can adopt one too."
"What's your husband thinking?" Yu Qingxi asked.
"I don't want to adopt a child so early. I don't want to take too much of your attention from a sugar baby." Ren Sangyu smiled, "If it takes three to five years, I can consider it." Now the second child in Xingyu's family There is a doll in the belly, and a girl in the front. If this baby is born as a boy, it must be reluctant to adopt it to them.There are two male dolls in Changyu's family, but they are worse than adopting them at birth.He thought about waiting for a few years, and when they had another baby, he would adopt one of them, regardless of gender, and raise it under Yu Qingxi's lap as soon as he was born.
"Then let's wait a few years, I just hold Tang Bao and play with it, I'm not envious." Yu Qingxi said.
"Really." Seeing Yu Qingxi nodding seriously, Ren Sangyu responded, "Well, we'll talk about it in a few years."
Chunji brought the food to the table, and the two sat down to have lunch.Yu Qingxi glanced across the room inadvertently, and there were warm and soft words in it.He smiled, it seems that the little concubine probably won't be sent here.
After lunch, Ren Sangyu went to take a nap, while Yu Qingxi was playing in the yard with Tang Bao in his arms.The person next door saw Yu Qingxi in the yard, so he invited him over to see the doll.
Yu Qingxi felt that the newborn baby was no fun, so she closed her eyes and just focused on sleeping, but it passed.Tang Bao huddled beside the crib, looked at the little doll inside, and wanted to poke it with his finger, but looked at the strangers on both sides before he stretched out his hand, whether he dared or not.Yu Qingxi smiled as she watched the heads of two adults and a child leaning together beside the crib.Tang Bao looked at it for a while and then stopped, turned around and hugged Yu Qingxi's leg begging for a hug.
As soon as Yu Qingxi picked up Tang Bao, the two asked him if he wanted to hug their doll.Tang Bao seemed to understand, and immediately hugged Yu Qingxi's neck tightly, not letting go.Yu Qingxi smiled, patted Tang Bao lightly, and said to them: "Look, Tang Bao is jealous before hugging!"
The two adults both smiled, and the man and wife said: "You love this baby very much."
"Yeah." Yu Qingxi kissed Tang Bao's forehead, then looked at their dolls, "Your dolls look good, they look a lot like you."
"Really?" The man and wife looked at the doll carefully again.
"The eyes are long. Although they are closed now, they will definitely be big when they are opened in the future, just like you." Yu Qingxi said, "The little nose is straight, and the nose is pouty. Looking at it, you are blessed, but it looks like you." Your master."
"That said, it's really true!" The two of them watched it further, and felt that it was more and more true.
After coming out of that house, Yu Qingxi couldn't help thinking that after raising a baby, the two of them wouldn't even need a nap.He couldn't help laughing, he could be quieter at night.
After Ren Sangyu went to Qianya, Yu Qingxi saw that Tang Bao didn't intend to sleep yet, so he took him to the street together.The carriage was bought in the morning, and Chun Yu didn't know how to drive, so when he came back in the morning, he walked back and left the carriage in the courtyard.So, they still walked over.

He used to follow merchants and darts on a merchant ship, and later killed someone and was sent to prison for a few months of labor. Now he has just been released as a slave.
"I didn't ask carefully, please forgive me, Third Young Madam." Chun Yu immediately knelt down upon hearing this.
Yu Qingxi looked at Tang Bao who was starting to peck rice with chickens in his arms, and covered up the thin cloak, and handed it to Chun Yu: "You take Tang Bao to the backyard and sleep." She stretched out her hand, and saw Tang Bao grabbing him tightly The fat hand on the placket couldn't help smiling.He stretched out his hand to caress the back of Tang Bao's hand, making gentle circles, Tang Bao's hand gradually loosened.
Chun Yu didn't ask any more questions, picked up Tang Bao and walked back.
Yu Qingxi looked around, and the other servants went to work in the front shop and the backyard after asking questions, and now there was no one here, and it was very quiet.He looked at the boorish man in front of him and asked, "Bajin, right? I heard that your baby is only two years old."
"Yes," the reckless man called Ba Jin, his face softened a little when he heard his master mention his doll, and then he said immediately, "Master, our doll doesn't need to be fed. He will do it, and he will never run around and cause trouble for the master. Although the doll is small, he can already do the job of lighting the fire and watching the stove. I beg the master to keep our doll."
"You know how to light the fire and look at the stove at the age of two?" Yu Qingxi looked at him.
"Yes." Bajin replied.
"I see that there is no shortage of people to light the fire here." Yu Qingxi saw him wrinkle his face, and thought for a while, "You said your baby doesn't need rations, so you just save it for him?"
"Yes." Bajin nodded repeatedly.
"What about your mother-in-law?" Yu Qingxi asked.
"Huh?" Bajin thought that his wife would be able to sew and do laundry anyway, so it would be no problem to earn a ration, but now what the master means is that his wife doesn't have any rations either?Thinking about it again, there are enough servants here. I have seen seven or eight people in the courtyard after entering the courtyard three times. It seems that there is no need for servants like his wife and children.He sighed silently in his heart, and said, "It's also taken from the slave's ration."
"Your ration is given to one bun per meal, so one cent is enough?" Yu Qingxi said.
"Slaves can eat half a piece, and I beg the master to take in the slave's mother-in-law." Ba Jin said.
"What if I don't?" Yu Qingxi took a sip of tea and looked at him.
"Then the boss will sell our family." Ba Jin's shoulders were still erect, not moving at all. He couldn't leave his wife and children just for a job.
Yu Qingxi didn't answer. This reckless man can bear it, but he also has the principle of tolerance, so he is still satisfied.Yu Qingxi glanced at the shop in front of him, and asked him, "Have you killed someone before?"
"No." Ba Jin looked up at him, "Slaves rely on their strength to eat, and don't do such things."
Yu Qingxi's eyes loosened, and the sunlight reflected in and turned into specks of light, flowing in his eyes.Suddenly, he changed his voice, looked straight into Bajin's eyes, and asked, "Why is murder in your name?"
"This...is pressed on my head by the official," Ba Jin's eyes were a little blurred, and he spoke slowly, "I didn't tell the girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it. But I think that instead of being troubled by others in the future, Why don't you tell Madam earlier."
Yu Qingxi understood, and asked again: "Who did you offend before?"
"Second Young Master of Hengtong Commercial Bank." Bajin's eyes were still so blurred, and he said slowly, "Second Young Master sent someone to ambush the eldest son in the business, I rescued the eldest son, and when I turned around, I was framed for killing the escort of the same merchant .”
"Your eldest son didn't save you?" Yu Qingxi had never heard of this firm.
"The evidence is convincing. The eldest son watched me pick up the knife, so naturally he didn't believe that I was framed." Bajin's confused eyes began to fluctuate, and his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was worried about that incident at that time.
Seeing this, Yu Qingxi gently dropped the tea lid on the tea bowl, and a small crisp sound made Ba Jin tremble all over, and he immediately woke up.Yu Qingxi didn't seem to see anything, and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.
Bajin just came back to his senses when he saw the lady drinking tea in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.Was he distracted just now?If it wasn't for being distracted, why couldn't I remember what I was doing just now?No, it seems that Madam asked him that he was charged with murder.No one would believe him if he said that he was framed, and no one would believe him or not the official for no reason.He thought about it, but he didn't explain anything. It should be the same result whether he explained or not.He was so tired that his wife and children suffered with him all the time, and he sighed softly in his heart.
"Go down and do your work," Yu Qingxi said, "Your doll is too small, don't get close to the stove and fire, let your mother-in-law watch while she is doing her work."
"Yes..." Bajin was puzzled.Is this what left him?With the name of murder on his back, can he still work here?
