my princess boy

The two men who were holding the woman followed their reputation and took a look at the two of them. They probably knew that Ling Xuetang and Mu Xianyi were not young, and they were not as arrogant as before, but they still had a confident look on their faces. road:

"Who are you two, why should you meddle in other people's affairs?"

"Other people's business? I don't know for sure?" Ling Xuetang gave the two of them a cold look, then turned to look at the arrested woman.

Mu Xianyi saw something strange flash across Ling Xuetang's eyes, and when he wanted to catch it, the other party had already returned to his usual expression:

"What's going on?"

When the woman saw Ling Xuetang asking her, she immediately choked up and said, "Young master, you have to save the little girl. The little girl's family is poor. They said they asked me to sell myself to them and send me to a rich family to be a maid. Who would have thought that they would send me to a brothel?" Chu Pavilion... If I don’t want to, they will force me to go!”

One of the tall, strong, square-faced men said confidently: "Why do you force you? It was obvious that you wanted to run away after getting the money for selling your body, so my two brothers took you back!"

At this time, another man with a long face also chimed in and said: "Exactly, here is the deed of sale..." He said, took out the deed of sale from his bosom and unfolded it for the two of them to see, "She draws the bet by herself, and the money is also I have already paid her father's gambling debts, even if I sue the emperor, I will not succeed! I advise you two not to meddle in your own business!"

"No, no! They lied to me. Before the pledge, they clearly said that they were going to be a maidservant in a wealthy family..." The woman became even more anxious after hearing this, and broke free from the man's control, and knelt down to face her. Seeing Mu Xianyi and Ling Xuetang kowtow, "Mrs., save my little girl. My little girl is willing to work and pay back their money. She will never deny it!"

Mu Xianyi saw that the woman looked beautiful, although she was Xiaojiabiyu, she didn't look like a fraudster, so she said: "In this case, how much did you sell yourself for, we just buy it."

The tall and strong man with a square face suddenly changed his complexion, and he sneered: "This madam is really a bodhisattva, but don't madam know how much money she can make us if she goes to the kiln? For you, wouldn’t we be busy in vain?”

Hearing this, Ling Xuetang slowly took out 20 taels of silver ingot from his bosom, handed it to the two of them, and said expressionlessly: "I just saw that you two bought it for ten taels of silver, and I will double it."

"Haha, 20 taels, how about sending the beggar?" The man said disdainfully.

"I haven't finished my sentence." Ling Xuetang's lips curled up, and she squinted at him, "If you want to, don't, I will send you to Jingzhao Mansion, and I will discuss with you the crime of buying and selling good people at will."

In Daqi, slaves and maidservants can be bought and sold at will, but it is against the law to buy and sell good people to turn them into pariahs, ranging from punishment to exile.

When the two men heard this, their faces changed, and a sneer appeared on their arrogant faces just now:

"Why do you do this, nobleman? Harmony makes money, and getting involved in a lawsuit is always a bad thing, don't you think?"

"Just know, take it, and get out." Ling Xuetang said coldly, throwing the money to the two of them.

"Yes yes yes, here is the deed of sale for you, the younger one will get lost." The two of them took the silver ingot and hurried away.

Seeing this, the woman kneeling on the ground immediately kowtowed to the two gratefully: "Thank you, Madam, thank you, Madam, it's hard for a young girl to repay the two great virtues!"

"There's no need to be too polite." Mu Xianyi smiled at her. On the veil, a pair of bright eyes were curved, with a smile, "We just have a rough road, so go ahead."

"Ma'am..." The girl still lowered her head, "I don't know if there is a shortage of maids in your mansion. Since the little girl is bought by the lady and the young master, she is a member of the mansion. The little girl is willing to be a rough servant girl first." Pay back the 20 taels, after paying off, if the family is willing to continue to take in the little girl, it will be the luck of the little girl..."

Ling Xuetang frowned, seemingly hesitant.

Mu Xianyi thought for a while, and said to Ling Xuetang: "That's fine, we still need someone to grow flowers and plants outside our other courtyard, so why don't we take them back. If we don't care, those two men will probably go to her house to look for her." trouble."

Seeing him like this, Ling Xuetang said, "Everything is up to you."

"Okay, then you can go back home with our carriage." Mu Xianyi said to the woman.

"Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am!" The woman became more grateful and kowtowed on the ground a few more times.

……

As September passed, the weather became colder and colder.

Kyoto is in the north, and it is dry and cold in winter. Fortunately, the sun is bigger during the day, so you can go to the yard to bask in the sun.The flowers, plants and trees in the yard are all withered, leaving only plantains and evergreen pines.

Mu Xianyi didn't like being a female celebrity either, so he read a book on the porch. Although the sun was not directly shining, it was warm under the sun. Jing said: "It's too boring, are there any flowers in the back garden? I want to go for a walk in the back garden."

Hearing this, Luan Jing was overjoyed: "Good question, the princess. Recently, many camellias in the back garden are blooming just right. Yesterday, a servant girl passed by and met Master Ge there. She also said that she would invite the princess to take a look. , the princess will definitely like it!"

"That's right, let's go and have a look." He didn't like flowers at all, but this courtyard is boring, so it's good to just look at flowers.

The master and the servant were about to go out to the back garden, and walked out of the hanging flower gate. Before they left the other courtyard, they saw Baohan scolding a maid in blue autumn clothes:

"... This drunken beauty was won by the son-in-law for the princess, and rewarded by the empress. Except for me and Luan Jing, no one else is allowed to touch it. Has no one told you this rule! If it spoils, can you bear it?" ? Even if ten of you are sold, you can’t afford it!”

Mu Xianyi usually takes care of these two confidant maids, he has a noble status, let alone in the other courtyard, he is in the entire Zhen Guogong mansion, except for Zhen Guogong and his wife and the Ling family brothers, Baohan and Luanjing. People are also superior to others, so it's nothing to scold a maid.It's just that the servant girl's attitude of admitting her mistake is very humble:

"Sister Baohan, I was wrong. I'm new here. I really don't know how important this peony is. Don't be angry. I'll never touch it again."

"Don't even think about relying on the princess to buy you in. If you show a good face, you will think that you are so great. You are just a lowly commoner. Don't be close to my sister and sister here!" aggressive.

Mu Xianyi took a closer look, and saw that the girl who was reprimanded by Baohan was rescued from the street that day. Her name was Ping'er. Her name was Yinping. She was beautiful, diligent, and well-mannered, so Mu Xianyi gave her a high regard.

Just looking at it, I saw Ling Xuetang coming in from the courtyard door, and heard Baohan's words of reprimanding Yinping very clearly, and immediately frowned.

Mu Xianyi was thinking badly, Ling Xuetang really hated bullying others, not to mention Baohan's words were really frivolous relying on her own power, the son-in-law must feel uncomfortable after hearing this.
