I raised a husband in ancient times
Chapter 69
Pei Xing turned half of his body inward, with one hand on his belly, in a protective posture.
Lu Yiming woke up early in the morning. He tightened the little star in his arms, stared at this peaceful sleeping face, leaned close to his cheek, touched it lightly, and then slowly withdrew his numb arm. Get up and get dressed.
The person lying on the bed suddenly lost warmth, his brows furrowed unconsciously, his eyelashes fluttered, and he opened his hazy eyes.
A figure walked towards him in his blurred vision, and he called out softly, "Husband..."
The person who came put down his half-lifted body, gently stroked his forehead, and the voice seemed to come from the sky: "I slept late yesterday, sleep a little longer."
Hearing the familiar voice, Pei Xing felt extremely at ease, and lost consciousness following the surge of drowsiness.
Between opening and closing, it is already three poles in the sun.
After waking up again, Pei Xing habitually touched the cold mattress beside him, feeling dazed for a moment.
He half sat up, put both hands on his protruding abdomen, and greeted the baby every day: "Little corn, good morning."
Two feet interacting with each other came from the abdomen, as if saying to Pei Xing: "Good morning, Dad."
The sunlight shone on the soft face, causing Lu Yiming's heart to slam when he pushed the door in. His footsteps changed from slow to fast, and he approached the person little by little.
"woke up?"
Pei Xing raised his head, rolled his eyes at him and smiled, "My husband is here, I just wanted to get up and take the baby to find the baby's father."
He hasn't told his husband the baby's nickname yet, and he plans to talk to him in detail later in the evening.
Lu Yiming sat by the bed, held him in his arms, and handed over the 500 taels in his hand: "Shopkeeper Sun delivered the money early in the morning, and handed it over to my little housekeeper."
After the person accepted it, he continued: "I dismissed shopkeeper Sun. In the past few days, my father and I went to the wine shop to take care of it for a while. After recruiting the shopkeeper, I will hand over the matter to him and accompany Xiao Xingxing to wait for delivery."
Ever since he knew he was pregnant, her husband had been by his side and never left. This sudden separation made him want to hold her husband back for a moment and not let him go.
But only for a moment, he quickly and sensiblely said: "Don't worry, husband, I will take care of myself."
Lu Yiming kissed his hair, didn't say any more, but told himself to hurry up.
……
There are only so many well-known shopkeepers in Jiangzhou Prefecture, and shopkeeper Sun naturally has a long relationship. Now that the two have fallen out, Lu Yiming can't recruit the old shopkeeper, which is the other party's obstruction.
"He is a martial artist with no background. He doesn't know how to run a business. If he offends me, he shouldn't think about it."
Shopkeeper Sun held up his wine glass and said with a smile to Shopkeeper Jin beside him, "So what if Zhaixing Liquor is famous, his wine shop can't recruit people, I'll see how he ends up."
Having been the shopkeeper for so many years, he didn't sell himself to the Song family, so he could naturally own his own property. When he was fired, he also took away a group of employees who followed him to eat and drink. Now he drinks tea and listens to ditties every day, waiting Watch Lu Yiming's good show.
Holding up his wine glass and smiling, he looked towards the stage not far away: "You want me 500 taels, and I want you to go bankrupt."
Employment in ancient times is not like modern times. You can also apply online and interview online. Here you can only post a recruitment list or inform the intermediary of your needs, and then recruit for him.
Lu's father sighed for three consecutive days: "It's hard to recruit shopkeepers and cashiers."
In the past few days, many people have come to inquire about the shop assistants, but the conditions are mixed, the pockmarked but eloquent ones, the good-looking but not eloquent ones, this is not acceptable, and in the end only three people were recruited, and it was still Lu Yiming. Give two taels of silver for a month's share.
As for the shopkeeper and accountant, no one has asked so far.
The weather is gradually warming up, it is extremely hot today, and it is easy to get sleepy in the afternoon.
Under the scorching sun, there were naturally fewer passengers, so Lu Yiming decided to let them rest for half a day, mainly because he missed his husband.
Before he could close the door, a scholar with a bookcase on his back came running from a distance under the scorching sun. Regardless of his messy hair and sweaty cheeks, he took a breath and said pantingly to Lu Yiming: " Xiao, Xiao Er, you, do you still pay the bill, the accountant?"
This person looked to be about his age, but from the sallow and thin face and the pilled cotton cloth on his body, it could be seen that this person's family background might not be good.
After looking at this young face for a while, Lu Yiming always felt that he had seen him somewhere.
"Are you a stutter?"
"No, no," he took several deep breaths before he calmed down, "It's just that I ran fast just now, and I haven't slowed down yet."
Lu Yiming felt uncomfortable when the sun shone on Lu Yiming's face, so he turned sideways to let someone come in and say.
Lu Yiming sat face to face with him: "Please introduce yourself first."
"This...doesn't need to call the shopkeeper of the restaurant?"
He looked past Lu Yiming and looked at Lu's father who was sorting out the accounts at the counter, thinking that was the shopkeeper.
"I am," there is nothing to hide, Lu Yiming motioned for him to put down the bookcase, "tell me."
The young scholar was a little surprised, but the middle-aged man on the counter didn't refute, so he turned his eyes back to Lu Yiming, rather embarrassed.
"Ah, oh, ok," the young man was a little cautious, but he spoke without slowing down, "My name is Zhou Jiangshu, a scholar who was admitted in Xushen's 23rd year, and I am from Jushui Town, Jiangzhou Prefecture..."
It turned out to be the "Brother Zhou" who met once during the Lantern Festival, but it was destined.
The man named Zhou Jiangshu didn't notice Lu Yiming's twinkling eyes, and introduced his conditions without distraction.
But this person is still a scholar, that is to say, he didn't make the list in the liberal arts examination this time, so what about his seriously ill mother?
After the introduction, Lu Yiming asked someone to make a simple statistics according to the usual practice. The questions are not difficult, but it mainly depends on people's sensitivity and carefulness to numbers.
Although it took some time, when Lu Yiming finished the accounting in Lu's father's hand, it was done here.
With trembling hands, he handed the paper to Lu Yiming. Zhou Jiangshu was worried. If he couldn't get this job, then his mother's sick money... Thinking of this, his eyes darkened.
The characters who can be admitted to the scholar are indeed good, and the organization is very clear. Lu Yiming quickly glanced at it, and there was no mistake, and said to him: "The accountant is on the fifth day of the month, and other matters are introduced in the recruitment notice. You should read it first." However, if there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”
Is he hired by...?
Zhou Jiangshu was in a trance for a moment, but quickly regained his composure, stood up and bowed to Lu Yiming: "Thank you, the shopkeeper, for hiring me!"
He is sincerely grateful to Lu Yiming. Since he failed to participate in this scientific examination because of his classmates' revenge before the examination, he has seen all the changes in human relationships and experienced all the setbacks and pains in the past three months. I don't know what will happen.
However, in Jiangzhou Prefecture, a scholar is not worth much, not to mention his calligraphy and paintings are not cared for. He also tried to do physical work, but it is still a drop in the bucket for the money to treat A Niang's disease.
Seeing that A Niang couldn't pay for the medicine, and A Niang was getting weaker and weaker, he had to go all over the Jiangzhou Prefecture to find places that needed help, and even almost took the lead in front of him. Thinking of that terrible experience, he shook his body.
If he hadn't passed by here by chance and saw the notice, he wouldn't have believed that such a crowded place would still be short of Mr. Accountant, but he was surprised, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would give it a try.
"I don't know your place." Zhou Jiangshu's back was a little bent, and he was even more lifeless than when he saw it on the Lantern Festival. "Whether there is a place for hired workers to stay."
His face was blushing, and his backbone as a scholar made him a little embarrassed.
This restaurant is indeed followed by a large well-decorated room, which is a temporary residence for the former shopkeeper Sun to rest. He has never stepped into it anyway: "Yes, someone lived there before, and you need to clean it yourself. If you want Bring your mother here, remember to go through the back door of the courtyard, and you will need to pay an additional five hundred Wen for rent and food per month."
"?!"
Zhou Jiangshu was stunned. How did the other party know that he had a seriously ill mother?
Facing Zhou Jiangshu's shock, Lu Yiming nodded to him: "I saw you in Jushui Town on the day of Lantern Festival, and I still remember the 'famous mouth' of your classmate."
He was only with them when he entered the city gate that day, when he recalled the humiliating words to the current shopkeeper, his face turned green and then pale, and he was speechless for a while.
"Come to the store tomorrow. You and your mother can make arrangements for yourself. Don't cause trouble to the store."
Seeing that Lu Yiming's expression remained unchanged, Zhou Jiangshu heaved a sigh of relief and thanked him.
In Jiangzhou Prefecture, renting a room in this area starts at three taels of silver, even in remote places, it costs one tael of silver. Lu Yiming's [-] Wen plus three meals a day is still for two people. I dare not even think about it. think.
Sending charcoal in the snow, this kind of kindness, even if the other party asks him to be an ox or a horse, he will work hard.
Lu Yiming didn't know that he had thought so much about the person in front of him in such a short period of time. Now that he had managed to recruit someone, he was more pleasing to the eye, and he was too lazy to spend time looking for another one.
It is easy to apply for a job, but it is more difficult for people to stay for a long time. Since the problem can be solved with five hundred words, why doesn't he do it? Only by buying people's hearts can people work hard.
After this back and forth, when the two signed the employment contract, the application time had passed.
Looking at the empty restaurant, Lu Yiming sighed, thinking about little stars again for a long time.
……
When he went back, it was already dark.
Pei Xing was awakened by the sound of lifting the quilt, he hugged Lu Yiming's neck and rubbed against his neck, feeling drowsy again.
dong dong——
It was the baby kicking Pei Xing, Lu Yiming was holding him, and the other's round belly was pressed against his abdomen, so he could naturally feel the sound.
After being disturbed like this, Pei Xing woke up completely. Thinking of what he was about to say, he said thoughtfully, "Little Corn is greeting us."
After speaking, he secretly looked at Lu Yiming's face, but he didn't find any other expressions on him, so he was a little disappointed.
Lu Yiming pressed his face against his belly, feeling the fetal movement through his unlined clothes.
Baozi's kick kicked Lu Yiming's face, he was amused, raised his head and approached Pei Xing, caught off guard and took a bite on his thin lips: "The baby is called Little Corn, because when I saw me on the first day, I gave you Corn to eat?"
Pei Xing was still a little dazed at first, but when he heard this sentence, he opened his almond-eyed eyes, grabbed his skirt, and looked at him with half surprise and half joy: "Husband still remembers!"
He thought that her husband would ask him why he chose this name, but it turned out that her husband remembered everything.
This is happier than him stealing the name by himself!
Looking at Pei Xing's surprised eyes, he gently scratched the tip of the other's nose with his index finger, and jokingly pressed against the other's head: "Did little Xingxing fall in love with her husband the first time she saw her?"
Originally, she was just teasing her husband on a daily basis, but unexpectedly the other party answered seriously: "No."
Just when Lu Yiming was hit by the denial, Little Xingxing held his face and said softly: "Every time my husband defends me, cares about me, and loves me, I will like him more deeply."
Unexpectedly, it turned out that Little Xingxing fell in love with him so early.
I am delighted.
However, he was still restrained, and lightly pinched his nose: "I didn't expect Little Xingxing to talk so much about love."
Seeing the shy face after the person finished speaking, Lu Yiming thought about it, the baby was fussy in the middle of the night yesterday, they rested their minds, they can continue to try today, he took Xiao Xingxing's hand and went all the way down.
Helping each other is the correct way to start pregnancy.
……
On the second day, after Lu Yiming handed over the restaurant to Lu's father and the newly appointed accountant Zhou Jiangshu, he took his banker to Renshi, intending to buy some servants.
First of all, the family is short of staff, Xiao Xingxing has a big belly, and has a lot of mobility difficulties. Lu's mother is worrying about trivial matters such as cleaning, and she is really too busy to keep up.When Baozi is born in the future, it will be very tiring to take care of the baby. He is afraid of tiring each other if I hand it over to Mother Lu and Little Xingxing. It is best to buy a wet nurse, which will save time and effort to take care of the baby.
Secondly, it is about the wine shop. They are doing the wine business by themselves. Of course, they are worried about hiring someone. Buying someone is the most suitable, and their mouths are relatively firm. , the two people in the family will still worry, if there are servants, there is no need to worry about it.
The most important thing is that now that you have money, you can afford it.
If there are many people in the match, he plans to change all the people in the restaurant.
The deeds are better than hired ones, and if things like Shopkeeper Sun happened again, it would be very difficult.
"Welcome distinguished guests."
There are many people in Jiangzhou Prefecture, but there is only one regular one.
When Lu Yiming entered the door, he thought he had entered some kind of auction house. Not to mention the high-end decoration, a small number of people could walk in the lobby, serve tea and water, and their clothes were not ordinary, at least comparable to the servants of rich merchants.
Except for the chains on their feet and hands, these people can't see any difference from others. They are even freer than slaves in cages, and they can take the initiative to find a good master. Accepting the sign in this person's hand is equivalent to buying the slave.
This is the rule of the market. The shop assistant introduced Lu Yiming to the lobby while introducing him.
"You can choose whatever you want here, if you like it, just talk to our attendant."
A special person followed him with a booklet. Lu Yiming took a look at these people who could move freely. For the time being, no one took the initiative to walk towards him. He lowered his head to check his clothes today.
One word to describe, very simple.
Forget it, he doesn't like these people who climb the dragon and the phoenix, no one will disturb him, and he can quietly observe the slaves in the cage.
There are people of all sizes, tall, short, fat, and thin, and there are even "foreigners" with high noses and blue eyes. They are simply a commodity, which is unthinkable in an era when human rights are paramount.
Seeing Lu Yiming staring at this person, the attendant reminded: "This is a small tribe on the edge of Dalai Kingdom. After being destroyed, they were sold as slaves. This is a group that just came back from the border. They are not monsters. different people."
Lu Yiming just saw a foreigner here by accident, and he showed no signs of panic.
Surprise is surprise, he wants to recruit servants and needs to show his face. This kind of person is obviously not from the Dajing country, so it doesn't fit.
He continued to go to the next place, and stopped when he passed a relatively remote place.
There was a half-grown child that was rare in the cage, his gaze skipped a corner, and the only child was secretly protected by two old women and old men.
As he scanned, the ten-year-old raised his head and looked at him.
This person's face was not as quiet as the two old men's, but there were palm prints on the left and right sides. He looked very embarrassed, but his eyes were somewhat familiar.
It seems... his father?
Lu Yiming's spirit trembled, what was he thinking.
Just when Lu Yiming was about to look away, the child stood up little by little and walked towards him.
"I can," as if guessing what Lu Yiming was thinking, he stared at Lu Yiming and paused every word, repeating in a voice that he hadn't spoken for a long time, "I can."
Lu Yiming was silent, and he was really unwilling. After all, he was a child laborer when he was about ten years old.
He was not satisfied after walking more than half a circle just now, but he was a little moved by these two old men.
"How did these two sell it?"
When asked this question, the child who mustered up the courage to ask for help for the first time was a little disappointed. He returned to the original place, buried his head in his arms, and did not speak again.
"Ten taels for old people, 12 taels for children." Based on the rules of the market, he was afraid that people would find them after buying them. Officials of the fourth grade, all the men in the family were exiled to the army, and all their women, children, and servants were demoted to slavery, this is the grandson of this family, the former housekeeper and mother."
Lu Yiming didn't expect that the child was more expensive than the two old men, but it was understandable that the child was older, so the price was higher.
After listening to the attendant's introduction, his favorability for the two old men increased again. The housekeeper and the nanny were exactly what their family needed.
He asked the two old men, "Would you like to follow me?"
As slaves, they don't have the right to make their own choices, but the people here are different. Somehow, the master is willing to give them this opportunity, so when Lu Yiming asked as usual, the two shook their heads at the same time.
Needless to ask the reason, these two are also servants of a wealthy family, so they naturally knew that Lu Yiming did not intend to buy their former little master, so even though it was the first time someone wanted to buy them, they were a little moved, but they did not waver.
Lu Yiming pondered, didn't say much, but went through the entire lobby again, picked a few pleasing boys and brothers, and then returned to stand in front of these three people: "Together with these three, send it to my house superior."
The originally dejected little head was raised instantly, and Lu Yiming did not miss the flash of light in the other party's eyes.
Looking at it so carefully, it is indeed very similar to my father, like the look in his eyes when he saw him making braised pork.
After visiting the largest human market, Lu Yiming went to a place where several families lived. It was more like a vegetable market. There were good and bad slaves. There were all kinds of people. I plan to have someone go to the store to help.
This trip cost a total of nearly a hundred taels of silver, and there were still a little over two taels left.
Lu Yiming glanced at the sky that hadn't yet darkened, paused, and took two servants who bought it to the candied fruit shop: "Buy some gluttons for Little Xingxing."
Imagine the expression of little star when he sees these snacks for a while, and he is quite looking forward to it.
……
The Lu family was not as peaceful as Lu Yiming imagined. Among the people sent by the city before, there was a younger brother who aroused his nerves.
If he didn't know that these were the servants bought by the husband, he would have suspected that the husband had been abstinent for a long time recently and wanted to take a concubine, but seeing people coming and going in and out of his and the husband's room, he still couldn't help but feel a little sad.
As soon as Lu Yiming came back, he saw Xiao Xingxing's sulking baby, sitting on a chair in a daze.
"Look what I bought for you."
He only thought that the other party had a bad face because he hadn't seen him for a day, but when he saw it, he almost scared Lu Yiming's soul away: "Whoever bullied you, his mouth is on his chin."
During pregnancy, emotions are easy to change. Little Xingxing still does not become happy when he sees the candied fruit.
At night, when I saw the guy who bought them bring them hot water and make their beds and wardrobes, I realized why Xiao Xingxing was depressed.
He found the servant alone, told him to change places with Mammy, let him serve Aunt, and let Mammy take care of Little Xingxing.
Although the man was a little confused, he still followed Lu Yiming's instructions.
"Little Xing Xing is jealous?" Lu Yiming returned to the inner room and had a couple's bath with someone. He hugged Pei Xing who was in a bad mood and explained, "That brother and the guy in the kitchen are a couple. .”
Pei Xing nodded, but his mood didn't get better because of it, but even more depressed.
He guessed wrong?
"What's the matter? Tell your husband."
Pei Xing leaned his head on Lu Yiming's neck, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm angry with myself, I know that my husband is not such a person, but when that brother came in, he suspected that my husband would accept a concubine .”
Lu Yiming didn't expect this person to struggle for so long. It turned out that he was competing with himself.
But he didn't laugh at him because of this, instead he stroked his back and said softly: "It's nothing, I'm often afraid that little Xingxing will fall in love with someone else."
The person in the water turned his head and said seriously: "I only like my husband."
Lu Yiming patiently explained to others: "That's not the case, I just want to tell Fulang that it is because I have you in my heart that I feel uneasy about you, and I am worried that little Xingxing will not like me one day. This kind of worry is just proof that I am in my heart, and I am very happy."
Soothed by Lu Yiming's words, Little Xingxing's mood cleared up after rain, but Pei Xing's half-closed almond eyes flickered around in places where Lu Yiming could not see.
When he carried him to bed, this time Pei Xing didn't fall asleep immediately, but by the moonlight, he climbed up the belt of his underwear little by little with his fingers, and whispered in his ear: "Husband, I asked my mother today, aunt Niang said that it is also possible to have intercourse during pregnancy, as long as, as long as it is light, light."
Lu Yiming was originally waiting for a little minced meat today, but he didn't expect to get him a plate of braised pork?
Originally, he wanted to make people suffer less, but today the meat is on his lips, will he not eat it?
impossible.
Lu Yiming took the other party's fluttering little hand, and sprayed hot breath into Pei Xing's ear: "Fu Lang, it's useless to regret it now, after a while, even if you cry and beg me for mercy, I will... no will stop."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Pei Xing's reaction, he took off his clothes.
The bed curtain fell, covering the room with spring light.
The author has something to say: Hey, Xiang, this braised pork.
感谢在2021-10-1623:50:08~2021-10-1722:26:22期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~

Lu Yiming woke up early in the morning. He tightened the little star in his arms, stared at this peaceful sleeping face, leaned close to his cheek, touched it lightly, and then slowly withdrew his numb arm. Get up and get dressed.
The person lying on the bed suddenly lost warmth, his brows furrowed unconsciously, his eyelashes fluttered, and he opened his hazy eyes.

He has never stepped into it anyway: "Yes, someone lived there before, and you need to clean it yourself. If you want Bring your mother here, remember to go through the back door of the courtyard, and you will need to pay an additional five hundred Wen for rent and food per month."
"?!"
Zhou Jiangshu was stunned. How did the other party know that he had a seriously ill mother?
Facing Zhou Jiangshu's shock, Lu Yiming nodded to him: "I saw you in Jushui Town on the day of Lantern Festival, and I still remember the 'famous mouth' of your classmate."
He was only with them when he entered the city gate that day, when he recalled the humiliating words to the current shopkeeper, his face turned green and then pale, and he was speechless for a while.
"Come to the store tomorrow. You and your mother can make arrangements for yourself. Don't cause trouble to the store."
Seeing that Lu Yiming's expression remained unchanged, Zhou Jiangshu heaved a sigh of relief and thanked him.
In Jiangzhou Prefecture, renting a room in this area starts at three taels of silver, even in remote places, it costs one tael of silver. Lu Yiming's [-] Wen plus three meals a day is still for two people. I dare not even think about it. think.
Sending charcoal in the snow, this kind of kindness, even if the other party asks him to be an ox or a horse, he will work hard.
Lu Yiming didn't know that he had thought so much about the person in front of him in such a short period of time. Now that he had managed to recruit someone, he was more pleasing to the eye, and he was too lazy to spend time looking for another one.
It is easy to apply for a job, but it is more difficult for people to stay for a long time. Since the problem can be solved with five hundred words, why doesn't he do it? Only by buying people's hearts can people work hard.
After this back and forth, when the two signed the employment contract, the application time had passed.
Looking at the empty restaurant, Lu Yiming sighed, thinking about little stars again for a long time.
……
When he went back, it was already dark.
Pei Xing was awakened by the sound of lifting the quilt, he hugged Lu Yiming's neck and rubbed against his neck, feeling drowsy again.
dong dong——
It was the baby kicking Pei Xing, Lu Yiming was holding him, and the other's round belly was pressed against his abdomen, so he could naturally feel the sound.
After being disturbed like this, Pei Xing woke up completely. Thinking of what he was about to say, he said thoughtfully, "Little Corn is greeting us."
After speaking, he secretly looked at Lu Yiming's face, but he didn't find any other expressions on him, so he was a little disappointed.
Lu Yiming pressed his face against his belly, feeling the fetal movement through his unlined clothes.
Baozi's kick kicked Lu Yiming's face, he was amused, raised his head and approached Pei Xing, caught off guard and took a bite on his thin lips: "The baby is called Little Corn, because when I saw me on the first day, I gave you Corn to eat?"
Pei Xing was still a little dazed at first, but when he heard this sentence, he opened his almond-eyed eyes, grabbed his skirt, and looked at him with half surprise and half joy: "Husband still remembers!"
He thought that her husband would ask him why he chose this name, but it turned out that her husband remembered everything.
This is happier than him stealing the name by himself!
Looking at Pei Xing's surprised eyes, he gently scratched the tip of the other's nose with his index finger, and jokingly pressed against the other's head: "Did little Xingxing fall in love with her husband the first time she saw her?"
Originally, she was just teasing her husband on a daily basis, but unexpectedly the other party answered seriously: "No."
Just when Lu Yiming was hit by the denial, Little Xingxing held his face and said softly: "Every time my husband defends me, cares about me, and loves me, I will like him more deeply."
Unexpectedly, it turned out that Little Xingxing fell in love with him so early.
I am delighted.
However, he was still restrained, and lightly pinched his nose: "I didn't expect Little Xingxing to talk so much about love."
Seeing the shy face after the person finished speaking, Lu Yiming thought about it, the baby was fussy in the middle of the night yesterday, they rested their minds, they can continue to try today, he took Xiao Xingxing's hand and went all the way down.
Helping each other is the correct way to start pregnancy.
……
On the second day, after Lu Yiming handed over the restaurant to Lu's father and the newly appointed accountant Zhou Jiangshu, he took his banker to Renshi, intending to buy some servants.
First of all, the family is short of staff, Xiao Xingxing has a big belly, and has a lot of mobility difficulties. Lu's mother is worrying about trivial matters such as cleaning, and she is really too busy to keep up.When Baozi is born in the future, it will be very tiring to take care of the baby. He is afraid of tiring each other if I hand it over to Mother Lu and Little Xingxing. It is best to buy a wet nurse, which will save time and effort to take care of the baby.
Secondly, it is about the wine shop. They are doing the wine business by themselves. Of course, they are worried about hiring someone. Buying someone is the most suitable, and their mouths are relatively firm. , the two people in the family will still worry, if there are servants, there is no need to worry about it.
The most important thing is that now that you have money, you can afford it.
If there are many people in the match, he plans to change all the people in the restaurant.
The deeds are better than hired ones, and if things like Shopkeeper Sun happened again, it would be very difficult.
"Welcome distinguished guests."
There are many people in Jiangzhou Prefecture, but there is only one regular one.
When Lu Yiming entered the door, he thought he had entered some kind of auction house. Not to mention the high-end decoration, a small number of people could walk in the lobby, serve tea and water, and their clothes were not ordinary, at least comparable to the servants of rich merchants.
Except for the chains on their feet and hands, these people can't see any difference from others. They are even freer than slaves in cages, and they can take the initiative to find a good master. Accepting the sign in this person's hand is equivalent to buying the slave.
This is the rule of the market. The shop assistant introduced Lu Yiming to the lobby while introducing him.
"You can choose whatever you want here, if you like it, just talk to our attendant."
A special person followed him with a booklet. Lu Yiming took a look at these people who could move freely. For the time being, no one took the initiative to walk towards him. He lowered his head to check his clothes today.
One word to describe, very simple.
Forget it, he doesn't like these people who climb the dragon and the phoenix, no one will disturb him, and he can quietly observe the slaves in the cage.
There are people of all sizes, tall, short, fat, and thin, and there are even "foreigners" with high noses and blue eyes. They are simply a commodity, which is unthinkable in an era when human rights are paramount.
Seeing Lu Yiming staring at this person, the attendant reminded: "This is a small tribe on the edge of Dalai Kingdom. After being destroyed, they were sold as slaves. This is a group that just came back from the border. They are not monsters. different people."
Lu Yiming just saw a foreigner here by accident, and he showed no signs of panic.
Surprise is surprise, he wants to recruit servants and needs to show his face. This kind of person is obviously not from the Dajing country, so it doesn't fit.
He continued to go to the next place, and stopped when he passed a relatively remote place.
There was a half-grown child that was rare in the cage, his gaze skipped a corner, and the only child was secretly protected by two old women and old men.
As he scanned, the ten-year-old raised his head and looked at him.
This person's face was not as quiet as the two old men's, but there were palm prints on the left and right sides. He looked very embarrassed, but his eyes were somewhat familiar.
It seems... his father?
Lu Yiming's spirit trembled, what was he thinking.
Just when Lu Yiming was about to look away, the child stood up little by little and walked towards him.
"I can," as if guessing what Lu Yiming was thinking, he stared at Lu Yiming and paused every word, repeating in a voice that he hadn't spoken for a long time, "I can."
Lu Yiming was silent, and he was really unwilling. After all, he was a child laborer when he was about ten years old.
He was not satisfied after walking more than half a circle just now, but he was a little moved by these two old men.
"How did these two sell it?"
When asked this question, the child who mustered up the courage to ask for help for the first time was a little disappointed. He returned to the original place, buried his head in his arms, and did not speak again.
"Ten taels for old people, 12 taels for children." Based on the rules of the market, he was afraid that people would find them after buying them. Officials of the fourth grade, all the men in the family were exiled to the army, and all their women, children, and servants were demoted to slavery, this is the grandson of this family, the former housekeeper and mother."
Lu Yiming didn't expect that the child was more expensive than the two old men, but it was understandable that the child was older, so the price was higher.
After listening to the attendant's introduction, his favorability for the two old men increased again. The housekeeper and the nanny were exactly what their family needed.
He asked the two old men, "Would you like to follow me?"
As slaves, they don't have the right to make their own choices, but the people here are different. Somehow, the master is willing to give them this opportunity, so when Lu Yiming asked as usual, the two shook their heads at the same time.
Needless to ask the reason, these two are also servants of a wealthy family, so they naturally knew that Lu Yiming did not intend to buy their former little master, so even though it was the first time someone wanted to buy them, they were a little moved, but they did not waver.
Lu Yiming pondered, didn't say much, but went through the entire lobby again, picked a few pleasing boys and brothers, and then returned to stand in front of these three people: "Together with these three, send it to my house superior."
The originally dejected little head was raised instantly, and Lu Yiming did not miss the flash of light in the other party's eyes.
Looking at it so carefully, it is indeed very similar to my father, like the look in his eyes when he saw him making braised pork.
After visiting the largest human market, Lu Yiming went to a place where several families lived. It was more like a vegetable market. There were good and bad slaves. There were all kinds of people. I plan to have someone go to the store to help.
This trip cost a total of nearly a hundred taels of silver, and there were still a little over two taels left.
Lu Yiming glanced at the sky that hadn't yet darkened, paused, and took two servants who bought it to the candied fruit shop: "Buy some gluttons for Little Xingxing."
Imagine the expression of little star when he sees these snacks for a while, and he is quite looking forward to it.
……
The Lu family was not as peaceful as Lu Yiming imagined. Among the people sent by the city before, there was a younger brother who aroused his nerves.
If he didn't know that these were the servants bought by the husband, he would have suspected that the husband had been abstinent for a long time recently and wanted to take a concubine, but seeing people coming and going in and out of his and the husband's room, he still couldn't help but feel a little sad.
As soon as Lu Yiming came back, he saw Xiao Xingxing's sulking baby, sitting on a chair in a daze.
"Look what I bought for you."
He only thought that the other party had a bad face because he hadn't seen him for a day, but when he saw it, he almost scared Lu Yiming's soul away: "Whoever bullied you, his mouth is on his chin."
During pregnancy, emotions are easy to change. Little Xingxing still does not become happy when he sees the candied fruit.
At night, when I saw the guy who bought them bring them hot water and make their beds and wardrobes, I realized why Xiao Xingxing was depressed.
He found the servant alone, told him to change places with Mammy, let him serve Aunt, and let Mammy take care of Little Xingxing.
Although the man was a little confused, he still followed Lu Yiming's instructions.
"Little Xing Xing is jealous?" Lu Yiming returned to the inner room and had a couple's bath with someone. He hugged Pei Xing who was in a bad mood and explained, "That brother and the guy in the kitchen are a couple. .”
Pei Xing nodded, but his mood didn't get better because of it, but even more depressed.
He guessed wrong?
"What's the matter? Tell your husband."
Pei Xing leaned his head on Lu Yiming's neck, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm angry with myself, I know that my husband is not such a person, but when that brother came in, he suspected that my husband would accept a concubine .”
Lu Yiming didn't expect this person to struggle for so long. It turned out that he was competing with himself.
But he didn't laugh at him because of this, instead he stroked his back and said softly: "It's nothing, I'm often afraid that little Xingxing will fall in love with someone else."
The person in the water turned his head and said seriously: "I only like my husband."
Lu Yiming patiently explained to others: "That's not the case, I just want to tell Fulang that it is because I have you in my heart that I feel uneasy about you, and I am worried that little Xingxing will not like me one day. This kind of worry is just proof that I am in my heart, and I am very happy."
Soothed by Lu Yiming's words, Little Xingxing's mood cleared up after rain, but Pei Xing's half-closed almond eyes flickered around in places where Lu Yiming could not see.
When he carried him to bed, this time Pei Xing didn't fall asleep immediately, but by the moonlight, he climbed up the belt of his underwear little by little with his fingers, and whispered in his ear: "Husband, I asked my mother today, aunt Niang said that it is also possible to have intercourse during pregnancy, as long as, as long as it is light, light."
Lu Yiming was originally waiting for a little minced meat today, but he didn't expect to get him a plate of braised pork?
Originally, he wanted to make people suffer less, but today the meat is on his lips, will he not eat it?
impossible.
Lu Yiming took the other party's fluttering little hand, and sprayed hot breath into Pei Xing's ear: "Fu Lang, it's useless to regret it now, after a while, even if you cry and beg me for mercy, I will... no will stop."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Pei Xing's reaction, he took off his clothes.
The bed curtain fell, covering the room with spring light.
The author has something to say: Hey, Xiang, this braised pork.
