Why is this person so stubborn?
Zhao Xiaojie's little face turned red with anger, but to avoid upsetting Er Longzi, she had to suppress her temper and continue to pester him…
“Brother Er Long, I really don’t want any wages. Even if I go to the countryside, I’ll live frugally, obey orders, and won’t cause any trouble for anyone!~”
“Also, I eat very little. A bowl of rice soup is enough. I never slack off when I work. If you don’t believe me… if you don’t believe me, you can supervise me!”
Er Longzi felt a slight softening in his heart after hearing this.
According to the master’s wishes, they should have found two maids for the old Yun family. If Zhao Xiaojie was incompetent, then another maid could have filled the gap…
Coincidentally, this little girl was very young and energetic, outgoing, and liked to chat. She could also keep Madam Yun company and chat with her…
Thinking of this, Er Longzi coughed lightly and softened his tone, “You can go, but you must listen to the employer, not throw tantrums, and not sneak away. After arriving at Dashui Village, you will have to sign a deed of sale with the Yun family. The term is generally ten or twenty years, or even for life. Once the deed of sale takes effect, you will be a slave of the Yun family, and you must obey the master’s arrangements in everything…”
Er Longzi gave her a general introduction to the process of becoming a maid, lest this little girl regret it.
He thought Zhao Xiaojie would hesitate after hearing this, or even back out. Unexpectedly, she agreed without thinking, “Okay, I know the process of buying maids in your Daliang Kingdom. I understand it all!~”
Er Longzi: “……”
Little girl, you’re about to sell yourself into servitude, why aren’t you bothered at all?
Never mind, as long as you don’t regret it.
“Then it’s settled. If there are no problems, I’ll take you back to Dashui Village tomorrow!” Er Longzi stood up and glanced at Zhao Xiaojie’s clothes, “Before we go, I still need to buy you two sets of clothes for work. What are these colorful clothes you’re wearing?”
Zhao Xiaojie: “……”
I don’t want to wear this either. It was the people at the brothel who forced me to wear it.
The two hit it off, and the next morning, after buying clothes and sundries, they took a carriage to Dashui Village…
Dashui Village, Old Yun Family.
Outside the west wing door, Kong Xingzhuo stood before Si Yakedun like a wooden mannequin, not daring to move.
Xiao Jinheng stood by with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and his eyes gentle, clearly not wanting to be involved in this matter…
“Kong, are you still not going to confess? Where are my children?” Si Yakadun roared furiously, her voice hoarse. “Hurry up and hand her over, hand her over…”
“Oh, Si Ya!~” Han Chi’er saw his old wife getting agitated and about to explode, and he was also scared, his hair standing on end. “Let’s… let’s talk nicely. Perhaps Young Master Kong really doesn’t know where Jiaojiao went?”
Kong Xingzhuo: “……”
He was indeed wronged in this matter.
Because Han Chijiao left in such a hurry that she didn’t even have time to say goodbye to him. Who knew where she was hiding…
“I… I don’t know either!~” Kong Xingzhuo mumbled, lowering his head. “If you really want to find her, go to the candy shops, restaurants, and breakfast shops in the county town. After all, Miss Han has no other hobbies besides eating!”
Si Yakadun’s mouth twitched violently upon hearing this. She rushed forward and grabbed Kong Xingzhuo by the collar, “Kong, what do you mean by that? Are you saying my daughter is a good-for-nothing glutton?”
Good heavens, she was truly infuriated…
Based on Kong’s words, she would never marry Jiaojiao to him.
“Grandma Si Ya!~” Xiao Xitian saw Si Yakadun throw a tantrum and quickly stepped forward to separate the two, then blocked Kong Xingzhuo behind her.
Although her small body couldn’t block anything, the entire Yun family doted on this little girl, and no one dared to give her a dirty look. Therefore, Si Yakadun had no choice but to suppress her anger and glare fiercely at Kong Xingzhuo…
“Grandma Si Ya, I think Sister Han is definitely still in the county town. As long as we search diligently, we will definitely find her!~” Xiao Xitian said seriously.
Since Sweet Baby said so, Si Yakadun saw no reason to make things difficult for Kong Xingzhuo. She immediately ordered Rendu to find Han Chijiao by any means necessary…
This time, if that stinky girl dared to play any more tricks, Si Ya would stuff her into a wooden barrel and roll her all the way back to the grassland.
Han Chi’er rubbed his hands vigorously, not knowing what to say.
As long as Jiaojiao didn’t return, they would have to stay in Dashui Village for one more day. There were still so many matters waiting for him to handle in the grassland. He couldn’t leave everything to the Grand Priest…
In the morning, Xiao Jinfeng led Jin Huaihua to the Yun family. They served tea and paid their respects to the elders, and also brought many gifts.
Seeing the happy and harmonious couple, Old Man Yun and Madam Gu were also happy from the bottom of their hearts.
The former Prince Ming had completely transformed into a country folk. He acted without airs or official prestige and mingled with the villagers. Such a person would be welcomed wherever he went…
In the study of the west wing.
Xiao Jinheng looked at the strange objects in the box with surprise, his eyes glazing over.
Xiao Xitian sat to the side with her arms crossed, a candy in her mouth, humming “Most Dazzling Folk Style,” and occasionally glancing at Xiao Jinheng…
She loved to see the little brat looking lost and curious when he encountered new things.
“Little, little village boy, what are these things? What are they used for?” Xiao Jinheng picked up a small square block at random and asked blankly.
The square block was engraved with a red character ‘中’ (Zhong), neatly and elegantly written. Moreover, the size and weight of other blocks were the same. He didn’t know what these things were used for…
Xiao Xitian pursed her lips and smiled, “Stinky boy, these things are called Mahjong. There are a total of 136 tiles, but the number of tiles varies by region. For example, Southern Mahjong has 144 tiles. I’ve written down the specific rules and gameplay on paper. You can study them slowly!~”
Xiao Jinheng: “……”
Such things can lead to a loss of ambition. Why should he learn them?
Little did he know that one day, a certain crown prince would be stuck to the Mahjong table every day, and no one could drag him away…
“Stinky boy, I plan to make more Mahjong and open a Mahjong parlor for the common people to pass the time and entertain themselves. Moreover, the stakes in the Mahjong parlor are not high. We can charge by time and by person, unlike other gambling dens which are full of vice. Everything is legal and proper. Stinky boy, what do you think?”
Xiao Jinheng: “……”
As long as you are happy!
