From Shadowguard to Queen [Transmigration Book]

The next morning, You Shu really got up early, originally planned to go to Tingyuelou to pick up Luying according to the agreed time after breakfast, but just after leaving the house, Xiao Weixin was on the way again. While meeting the carriage of an acquainted adult returning from the next court, the two exchanged pleasantries across the carriage for a while, that Mr. Huang was very enthusiastic and familiar with himself, and insisted on pulling Xiao Weixin to gossip, Xiao Weixin always pretended outside He can only let him chat happily, and his heart has already started to be irritable.

No one wants to know what your daughter-in-law gave birth to, what's wrong with showing off to him that she has a golden grandson?

You Shu was very helpless in driving the carriage. If Master Huang hadn't been talented, he would have tried to get him out of the way with his lord's temperament.

But the chatter is terrible, it has been delayed for almost half an hour and I am still talking there.

Seeing that Chen Shi was already late, You Shu sighed deeply, hoping that Luying would not wait too long.

----

And at this moment in Tingyue Building.

Luying stood in front of the window with her small package in her arms and stared at the downstairs, hoping that the figure of the young master would appear in front of her in the next moment. They made an appointment to pick her up at Chenshi.

But the hour of Chen has already passed a stick of incense.

The little sisters next to her couldn't help teasing her: "I'll just say, how can you have such good luck to meet a good man, and you are willing to pay 100 taels of silver to redeem you!"

"That's right! I think Xu is trying to coax you. Do you know how much 100 taels is? We can't make much money a day,"

"Maybe he has a family. After returning home, he was scolded by his wife and regretted it!"

"Stop dreaming, go to bed early, and open the door to pick up guests at night, or mom will scold you later!"

The little sisters may have some truths in what they said, but Luying still refused to rest, and stubbornly hugged her small package to stay in front of the window, while retorting in a low voice: "No, he will definitely Come pick me up! He promised me!"

"C'mon, there are not enough unscrupulous people in this world? What's more, they only ordered one of your songs. Do you really think they are so affectionate and righteous?"

"But I think you should plan. I heard that Mr. Xia is not easy to mess with. You offended him. I don't know what to do..."

They spoke one word at a time, pouring basin after basin of cold water on Luying's head, although Luying firmly believed that the young master would come to pick her up, but the surrounding sisters talked a lot, and her heart gradually became more and more disturbed. A little discouraged.

Maybe he's just delayed, maybe...he really won't come.

Luying hugged her small package and snuggled up against the window, wondering what to do in the future.

At this moment, the little sister next to me suddenly wondered: "Hey? Why would someone come at this time? We don't do business during the day!"

"Look at that regulation, it looks like the carriage of the palace."

Luying's body trembled, she hurriedly leaned on the window and poked her head out to look down eagerly.

You Shu stopped the carriage, opened the curtain and helped Xiao Weixin down. Before he entered the door of Tingyue Tower, he felt a gaze staring at him closely. Out of the vigilance of the shadow guard, he Immediately looked up.

Luying was surprised and waved to him from upstairs, and shouted loudly: "My lord!"

You Shu nodded slightly to her, then followed Xiao Weixin into the gate of Tingyue Tower.

Tingyue Tower is not open during the day, and their rule here is to lie down at night and go out at night. Early in the morning is just when they have just fallen asleep, but when the distinguished guests come, they can only be forced to stand up to greet them. This person is His Royal Highness Mausoleum King, who is well-known in Beijing, a rare guest!

"Stay away from this king." Xiao Weixin said coldly without waiting for the bustard to approach, he didn't like the smell of rouge and gouache in this place, it made people uncomfortable.

You Shu gave him a stool and asked him to sit down, and went up to talk to the old bustard himself: "Let's redeem him."

"Redemption?" The old bustard was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that the distinguished guest would take him away before even taking a sip of tea. After regaining consciousness, she hurriedly asked with a smile, "Which girl is so lucky?"

Luying stood upstairs with her small package in her arms, her eyes full of surprises.

You Shu raised his hand and pointed, "That little girl, the one in green."

The old bustard looked back, and said with some embarrassment: "She... But she is the one Master Xia wants to keep..."

"You mean, his face is bigger than this king's?" Xiao Weixin said in a nonchalant manner, "Could it be that Xia Huaizhang already bought her?"

The old bustard hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Don't dare, don't dare! Lord Xia didn't pay to buy her, if the prince wants to take her away, of course he can."

"How much." Xiao Weixin didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, he just wanted to take someone and leave quickly, this place stinks very much.

The old bustard thought about it, His Royal Highness the King of Ling is a relative of the emperor, and he is of a dignified and wealthy background. Although he doesn't know what he likes about Luying, since he came to ask for someone early in the morning, he must like it very much. It would be better if he took the opportunity to ask for more money.

"Oh, speaking of Luying, she entered our building at the age of four. At that time, she was so skinny that she had only a few bones left. The slave's family personally hired several masters to teach him. He learned both pipa and dance. It cost a lot of money. A lot of silver."

"What's more, we provided all her gold and silver jewelry. I have spent a lot of money these years. Seeing that she is about to bid for the first night, I haven't recovered a dime from her yet!"

You Shu also felt a little impatient, "Just tell me how much you want."

The old bustard took a sneak peek at Xiao Weixin, seeing that he was obviously speaking from this confidant, so she boldly smiled: "Well, for the prince's sake, I don't want too many servants, 150 taels."

You Shu looked at her coldly: "You are really a lion, you want 150 taels?"

"Luying is a good one. When I cultivate her, I always have to take back a little, right?" The old bustard laughed with her, "150 taels is not much for a nobleman like the prince."

You Shuxin said that it is not much for the prince, but it is too much for him.

"80 taels, will you give it?" You Shu didn't want to talk to her, so he cut it in half, "I'll take the person away if the deal is made."

The bustard was stunned.

Xiao Weixin raised his eyebrows slightly.

"80 taels!?" The old bustard screamed. Seeing the prince's displeasure, she lowered her voice again: "This is impossible! I have raised her for more than 80 taels of silver!"

You Shu glanced back at Xiao Weixin, and found that he had been silent all the time, and he wanted to let him play freely, so he took courage: "100 taels, no more! Don't think we don't know who you are. What's the deal, it doesn't take that much money to grow Luying, and you won't spend more than ten taels a year on her."

The women in the brothel are also graded. For an ordinary girl like Luying, the master she hires is not particularly good, and the food and clothing are even more simple. How can it cost so much?

You Shu looked very difficult to provoke, and the bustard looked at the prince who had never spoken, wondering what he was thinking, just like You Shu said, they also look at people when they train girls, some focus on cultivation, some The most important thing is group training. A girl like Luying is not worth 150 taels even if she is raised for another ten years. King Ling seems very unhappy. I can't help but give face.

Besides, Luying's net worth is only 100 taels, so she accepts it when she sees a deal.

The bustard figured it out, and said with a smile, waving her fan, "It means that the prince has such a big face, we Luying are so lucky! I'll send someone to get her contract of sale."

After all the formalities were completed and the silver deed was cleared, You Shu raised his head and said to Lu Ying who was standing on the stairs timidly looking at him, "Let's go."

With tears in her eyes, Luying rushed downstairs with her package in her arms, tugging at his sleeves and crying with her head down, like a kitten who has found a backer.You Shu couldn't hug her, so he could only pat her on the shoulder to comfort her, while Xiao Weixin had a rare good temper, and kept sitting still.

The little sisters upstairs squatted together and watched Luying downstairs walking out holding You Shu's clothes, and after looking at each other, they all became envious again.

Really, really such a good person?

Why didn't they have such a good life?

After following the prince's words, Luying will have a good life in the future.

No matter what the road ahead is, Luying has escaped from the fire pit today. Before leaving, she looked back for the last time at the place where she had stayed for ten years. Those careers of being beaten and scolded and made to laugh were just... over. ?

Until she got into the carriage, Luying couldn't really react.

However, You Shu began to worry again. He took the man out of the brothel on impulse, but after he brought him out, he realized that he had no other tricks. Luying was only 14 years old, and she couldn't make a living other than playing the piano and singing. The girl is lonely and helpless, how can she survive in the capital?

He himself is a slave of the palace, so how can he give Luying a safe place to live?

You Shu felt that she was too reckless, and she was so hot-headed in doing things, and she didn't know how to settle her down now.

"I, I can be a maidservant in the mansion." Luying saw his hesitation, and pleaded in a low voice: "It's okay if you don't need wages, as long as you have a shelter..." She knelt carefully on Xiao In front of Wei Xin, "My lord, my servants can also do sweeping and any dirty work, please forgive me!"

Xiao Weixin knew that the little shadow guard didn't think about the future, so he waited for him to speak, and then turned his gaze to You Shu.

You Shu struggled for a while, and asked tentatively, "My lord, my subordinate... my subordinate..."

"You can try to mention it." Xiao Weixin played with the jade pendant on his waist calmly, "Although I may not agree with everyone, but if you are in a good mood, you can say anything."

You Shu's thoughts moved, and he also knelt down suddenly: "My lord, I caused trouble for my lord on the spur of the moment, but Miss Luying is indeed the responsibility of my subordinate, I beg my lord to let her go somewhere, so that I won't go outside Nothing to rely on."

"The subordinates rely solely on the prince."

Luying couldn't stop kowtowing, she was still holding the gauze on her head, she looked very pitiful.

Xiao Weixin pulled You Shu up from the ground, and pretended to think deeply for a while: "I heard Huachun complained a while ago that she lacks a capable maid...she must be smart and articulate."

"She looks smart!" You Shu couldn't help but said, "My subordinates think Miss Luying is very suitable."

Seeing the eagerness in his eyes, Xiao Weixin finally couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were full of indulgence: "You finally know how to speak."

"It's not impossible to keep her."

"My family is not short of this bowl of food money."

At that moment, You Shu heard something loose in his heart.

Is the lord... a little too tolerant towards him?
