The slaves were bought, and Shen Jingshu knew that those two were not ordinary people, and such people were exactly what she needed. Sure enough, a month later, when Shen Jingshu went to see these two people again, they had changed a lot.
The injuries on her body have already healed. Although the clothes at the moment are not luxurious, they are also exquisite. Coupled with the study these days, the two of them have really changed a lot. If Shen Jingshu is not sure that it is these two people, I am afraid that I will admit my mistake people. Nodding in satisfaction, Shen Jingshu looked at these two people. Although she was taller and older than herself, Shen Jingshu stood in front of them without looking inferior, "How are you thinking these days? Follow me , you will definitely never become the same as before, but I ask you to be loyal to me, otherwise, you should know the consequences!" The words spoken at such a young age make people dare not take them lightly Yes, the two of them have already thought very clearly in the past month, and now that Shen Jingshu said that, the two immediately gave a big gift, "I have met the master!" They are considered very lucky to be able to follow this person, at least They don't have to sell their bodies and souls, and they still believe in this.
"Okay, since you recognize me as your master, you must be loyal to me. If I know that you have betrayed me, then I will make you pay the price!"
"We must be loyal to our master!"
"Very well, I bought you, and I need you to do things for me. Now all of this is under preparation. After preparation, you will replace the three of us in the public management, and you are not allowed to disclose any information about us. Do you know?"
"Yes, master!"
"Okay, you should study hard now, and many things will need to be handled by you at that time. Please sign this contract!" Take out the contract that Shen Jingshu had prepared a long time ago. The slaves she bought, but Shen Jingshu knew that these two people were just a helpless compromise at the moment. If she didn't have enough temptations, they would leave sooner or later.
"This is?" Seeing the contract that Shen Jingshu brought out, the two were a little surprised.
They are slaves, and they do not have the right to freedom in life. They should do whatever their master tells them to do. Now that they have signed this contract, their identities are naturally different.
"What I need is your loyalty. I have said this a long time ago. If you do a good job, I can give you the household registration of slaves, and I can also give you freedom. When the time comes, I will not do whatever you want to do." I will stop you, and I will do what I say!" When the little girl said this, the light that bloomed all over her body made everyone who looked at her feel admiration.
"Thank you, master!" Although I was surprised at the promise made by a little girl, the two of them didn't ask any questions and signed the contract without saying a word. Shen Jingshu nodded in satisfaction, "Work hard, you won't regret following me mine."
"Master, we will definitely live up to your expectations!" Although they had some doubts about Shen Jingshu before, this woman made them see many different things, and they had to surrender to each other.
"Well, since you have followed us, you are now our people, let's talk about your situation!"
"My maidservant's name is Mingyue. She is fifteen years old this year. Unfortunately, something happened to her family and she was sold. That's why it happened."
"Is it Mingyue? Okay, what about you?" Looking at the man, I haven't seen him in a month. The man's injuries have healed up in a few weeks. Now it seems that he is a handsome man, but there is something in the man's eyes. , making people feel a little trembling, "Slave Chen Feng, it's only because of changes in the family!" Chen Feng's words were very concise, and he didn't explain his life experience too much. Of course, Shen Jingshu knew that the other party was hiding something, but she didn't. Mind, "Okay, my surname is Shen, this one's surname is Yang, and this one's surname is Kong, from now on the three of us will be your masters, do you understand?"
"Of course I understand!"
"I know that you were originally good citizens, and you may even have unusual family backgrounds. Although I bought you now, you are only my subordinates, not my slaves. You don't need to call yourself slaves in the future!" Shen Jingshu said from the address of the two. It can be seen that the two of them reject the status of slaves. These two will be of great use in the future, and Shen Jingshu will not stick to these things.
"Yes, master, this subordinate understands!" Mingyue felt much more comfortable when he was called this way, and Chen Feng also heaved a sigh of relief. He has always been proud and arrogant. He would rather be scarred than give in to human traffickers before, but now he is asked to call himself As a slave, he certainly didn't want to.
Fortunately, fortunately, this master can be regarded as a gift of affection. Because of Shen Jingshu's little caring, the two of them naturally have more sincere respect for Shen Jingshu.
"Okay, then you study hard, and we will come to see you some other day!" After explaining some things, the two of them will be alone in the future. Naturally, there are many things to learn. Shen Jingshu gave money to make people take care of her. So they left with Yang Huilan, but as soon as they left, they fell silent. Shen Jingshu looked at the serious eyes of the two of them and smiled, "Why don't you talk? But what's the matter?"
"No, it's just Jingshu. We think you seem different." Before we were together, Shen Jingshu always showed a naive look, rarely like this now, planning strategies, as if the world is at her feet . This kind of quietness was unfamiliar to them.
Is this person really only ten years old? Why do they feel so different
"Hehe, since we have to do things now, naturally we can't be the same as before. You have seen those two people. If we don't come up with something, how can they give in so easily?" Indeed, if they were there The ones in front of the two were just children, so how could those two follow them willingly
"That's right, it's just Jingshu, you were really good just now, I saw that they were completely convinced by you, if it wasn't for you, we probably wouldn't be able to subdue those two people!" Those two people are naturally incomparable to ordinary slaves Yes, the bearing and arrogance of the two of them are extraordinary. If they are ordinary people, how can they hold back
"I just watched how my father trained people like this on weekdays, so I just learned from it."
"Jingshu, you're really good, we didn't even think about it! I looked at those two people today, I'm afraid they are capable, and we won't worry about it in the future!" They didn't face many things in person, and now there are these two people, It's much easier to handle.
"Well, indeed, the two of them will definitely be able to be independent in the future. Now we just need to make arrangements quickly. The store is now settled, but now the funds are still owed, what do you think should be done?" Since After deciding to start their own business, the three of them were vaguely headed by Shen Jingshu. Now that they heard Shen Jingshu raise this question, the two of them felt a little embarrassed.
"My jewelry has its own rules, and the maid takes care of it. If there is any change, it will be discovered. Although I have some silver every month, I also save some, but it is not enough after all." Yang Huilan was a little embarrassed, she Although she is also the daughter of an official, her family is not very rich, so she cannot afford a lot of money. What's more, this matter has to be hidden from the family, how dare she touch those jewelry casually? Even if she took out the private money she had saved, she was very careful, for fear of being found out.
This is really troublesome.
"I have some. I'm sick these days. My mother feels guilty to me, but she gave me a lot of good things and received a lot of supplements. I secretly hid those supplements and sold them quietly. I got a few hundred taels of silver, but this is not enough, Jingshu, what do you think should I do?" Since they want to start a business, they must invest a lot of silver in the early stage. They originally planned to buy the shop, but after a while First of all, they don't have any connections yet, and second, they don't have enough money, so they can only rent it temporarily. It's just that this lease is a bit risky. If it becomes popular in the future, wouldn't it make people jealous
"My father gave me a lot of good things. I can sell some of them and get some silver. Now we have almost two thousand taels of silver together. We rented the shop and left the decoration. The rest is hiring people. These expenses It's not too small. Besides, Mingyue and Chen Feng also need a place. We bought that house for future convenience, so that we can use less funds. It seems that we still have to think of a way to see where we can get some money gone."
"I'll go back and have a look to see if there are any jewelry. I don't use much on weekdays. When the time comes to sell them, I believe I won't find anything." Money is also inferior to Shen Jingshu's family background, and she can only do her best, but she is very embarrassed in her heart.
"Whelan, just try your best. We agreed to work hard together. Everyone can contribute as much as they can, and they can contribute as much as they can. Don't force yourself too much."
"Jingshu, I still have some jewelry. My mother has given me a lot these days. I will find a way to sell them!" Anyway, those jewelry were originally prepared for her to marry into the Zhang family. It's an eyesore.
"Well, I'll find a way to get some money, I think it's enough, but this matter must be kept secret, otherwise the family will find out, and I'm afraid it will be troublesome."
"If you don't talk about it, we can save it!" A few unmarried girls started their own businesses, so what's the point of spreading the word
"Okay, then let's go back and prepare money separately. I think it's best to buy the store, and it will save you troubles, so maybe we have to work harder!" Now that she has decided to do it, Shen Jingshu doesn't want to have too much trouble, All the troubles that can be solved, she doesn't want to appear in the future!
"That's what you said. The location of that store is excellent. This time we signed a contract for a year, and we don't know what will happen in the future. It's better to buy it! It's just that we are still small and inconvenient. How to do it?"
"Don't worry about it. Let Chen Feng solve it when the time comes. He is a man, and he is so old. If he comes forward, it will be easy to handle." The reason why he chose a man is because it is easier for men to do things than women. At first glance, people are proud, and they certainly don't bother to take advantage of their children, so Shen Jingshu can rest assured that many things will be entrusted to him in the future.
"Okay, let's raise money first, now is the time when we need money!"
"Okay!" Everyone agreed and parted. Shen Jingshu was thinking about her jewelry along the way, what could be sold and what could not be sold. Suddenly the carriage stopped, and Shen Jingshu frowned, "What's the matter, Chunmei?" ?”
"Miss, it seems to be Young Master Qi!" Chunmei opened the curtain and saw Qi Shaodong, looked at Shen Jingshu, and wondered whether Shen Jingshu would like to see Qi Shaodong.
In fact, after these few incidents, Chunmei doesn't like Qi Shaodong very much anymore. She thinks that such a man is not someone who can be entrusted to her for life. In addition, Shen Jingshu doesn't care about Qi Shaodong now, so Chunmei really doesn't want to see him. to the other party.
"It's him?" Hearing about this person, Shen Jingshu smiled at the corner of her mouth, looking a little careless, "Ask him what's the matter?" Run, now that I think about it, I was really stupid at the beginning, I loved this person to the dust, no wonder I didn't take her seriously in the end, and I abandoned her when I wanted to.
But now it seems to be the other way around, this life is really interesting!
"Yes, miss!" Chunmei got out of the carriage, saw Qi Shaodong, and saluted, "Master Qi, don't you know what's going on?"
"Hehe, it's nothing. I just saw Sister Shen's carriage and came over to say hello. I don't know what Sister Shen is up to lately. She doesn't go to the house to look for Yan'er. Yan'er has been talking about it!" Chunmei will What Qi Shaodong said was told to Shen Jingshu, but Shen Jingshu had a funny face.
Qi Xueyan
Thinking of the female celebrity arranged by Yueniang before, when it was handed in three days later, her work was changed inexplicably. At that time, everyone's surprised eyes, and Qi Xueyan's proud eyes, Shen Jingshu's eyes had a dark light.
Want to plot against her? Today's Qi Xueyan is still a little tender!
Seeing Qi Shaodong like this now, maybe he still doesn't know that the relationship between him and Qi Xueyan is getting more and more tense? Shen Jingshu didn't point out, just smiled, "Brother Lao Shaodong is concerned, but now the snow geese are annoying me, and it's not easy for me to go, I will go again when I have a chance!"
"Why did Yan'er annoy you? Aren't you good friends?"
"I don't know. Xueyan doesn't pay much attention to me recently. I don't know. Maybe he misunderstood me? Brother Shaodong, stop asking. I have something else to do. Let's go first!" , Shen Jingshu was puzzled, and left without talking to Qi Shaodong, leaving Qi Shaodong alone to think about the meaning of Shen Jingshu's words. After much deliberation, he couldn't understand, Qi Shaodong hurried home.
He wanted to ask, what happened to his younger sister!
Shen Jingshu looked at Qi Shaodong's hurried back from afar, and suddenly became curious about what the Qi family would do. When the time comes, it must be very good-looking, right
…
Shen Jingshu was right, as soon as Qi Shaodong went back, he went directly to Qi Xueyan. Looking at his sister sitting there leisurely embroidering, thinking that it might be related to Qi Xueyan, Shen Jingshu ignored him, and Qi Shaodong was angry, " Yan'er, what are you doing?"
"Hehe, my brother is here. I'm embroidering a screen. My mother's birthday is coming up. I want to give her a gift!" Looking at the words in his hand, Qi Xueyan was very displeased to disturb Qi Shaodong, especially when he looked at the other party who seemed to be in debt. When something was the same, she became even more displeased.
"Mother's birthday is coming?" After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that it was indeed coming soon, Qi Shaodong suddenly thought of a reason, "Since mother's birthday is coming, then you should ask sister Shen to come and sit down, sister Shen has been waiting for you for a long time It's not here, and my mother often talks about it."
"Mother's birthday, what do you want her to do?" Since the last incident, Qi Xueyan counted Shen Jingshu's skills as bad, and she hated Shen Jingshu more and more in her heart!
Why, why did she believe everything the master said? Obviously that person was afraid of affecting the evaluation, so he asked someone else to embroider it for her. Why did the master believe it when she said no? And her work was replaced by others, but the master didn't believe her
Thinking of the humiliation that day, Qi Xueyan now hated Shen Jingshu to death, and she will never forget everyone's scornful eyes on that day in her life!
"Yan'er, what are you talking about? Why can't you invite her?" Qi Shaodong was tentative at first, but he didn't expect Qi Xueyan to reject Shen Jingshu so much, and his expression changed immediately, "Tell me, what happened to you and Sister Shen ? Did you bully her? Why haven’t you seen her come to play at home these days? Didn’t mother explain? You must make friends with Sister Shen, have you forgotten? "
"I haven't forgotten, but she has something worthy of my friendship. She just relies on being the daughter of the magistrate, so everyone turns to her, isn't it just because she has a higher status? Our Qi family is not bad, so why should we wait for her?" Looking at her? I won't go!" Now Qi Xueyan has completely turned against Shen Jingshu, and if she asks Shen Jingshu to ask her out, she won't go even if she dies!
"What are you talking about?" Qi Shaodong didn't expect his well-behaved sister to say such words, he was a little surprised, and looked at Qi Xueyan with disappointment. But Qi Xueyan's heart is full of grievances and anger at the moment, how can I control so much, "What am I talking about? Of course it is the truth, why are we chasing her? What is so good about her? Hmph, what am I not like?" She's fine, brother, you can't let me, a younger sister, bow down and call her younger just because you like her? Do you still have a conscience when you treat my own sister like this? "
"You!" Qi Shaodong didn't expect Qi Xueyan to say that, and he really couldn't accept it for a while, looking at his originally well-behaved sister, why did he suddenly feel that he had changed overnight
"What's wrong with me? I'm telling the truth. If you like her and want to curry favor with her, then you can go by yourself. Don't drag me into the water. I'm not that mean!" With a snort, Qi Xueyan sat down directly, at this moment She was too lazy to talk to Qi Shaodong, lest she would get angrier by talking!
Why is everyone protecting her? Wasn't he wronged enough that day? Why didn't everyone believe in her, but in that person instead
"Qi Xueyan, is this the attitude you should have as an elder brother?" Looking at Qi Xueyan like this, Qi Shaodong really didn't know why his younger sister suddenly changed. At this moment, his face changed one by one, and the eyes he looked at Qi Xueyan also changed. Full of disappointment.
Is this still his well-behaved sister? This is simply a shrew!
"What's my attitude? I just don't want to be as tight as you are in front of others. I don't have such a face!"
"You! Shrew, shrew!" After all, he is a scholar. Qi Shaodong has read a lot of poetry and books, and it is really the first time he has seen Qi Xueyan being so unreasonable. Come on.
"I'm a shrew, you are shameless, don't blame me, I'm not as shameless as you!" Looking at Qi Shaodong angrily, Qi Xueyan has been holding back the grievances for a long time, these days she is being abused every day in the academy Looking at it with strange eyes, it was all because of Shen Jingshu, how could she not be angry? Now that Qi Shaodong brought up the old matter again, it aroused all her anger, of course she wanted to vent it!
"You, you are really insulting gentleness!" Seeing the disappointment on Qi Xueyan's face, Qi Shaodong used to think that his younger sister was cute and cute, but since when did she become so odious
"Brother, don't judge others by yourself. That person is a treasure in your eyes, but has he seen you? Don't be sentimental, you will lose face by then!" He was shy at first when he said what was on his mind, but when Qi Xueyan said this, he was so angry that he trembled, "How can you say such a thing?"
"If you can do it, you won't be afraid that I can say it. Do you think I don't know your thoughts? Hehe, don't think that people think highly of you if they call you 'brother'. If people really care about you, how can they treat you? Ignore it, I advise you to give it up, if you please others like this, maybe she is still laughing at you in secret!" I was also too angry, Qi Xueyan was completely unstoppable in speaking at the moment, Qi Shaodong was flattered by Qi Xueyan's words Blushing, it's not right to leave for a while, and it's not right to say no, standing there flushed, Qi Xueyan naturally became more proud when she saw it, "Hehe, I'm right, I'm sorry? You became angry from embarrassment, you..." Qi Xueyan I haven't said that I'm happy, but suddenly I only feel a gust of wind coming, and my face hurts like a knife, "Shut up!"
"Mother!" Qi Xueyan and Qi Shaodong were dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events. Seeing Mrs. Qi's angry and disappointed expression, Qi Shaodong quickly realized and called someone, but Qi Xueyan held himself unwillingly. I really don't understand why Mrs. Qi treats herself like this!
"Mother, why did you hit me?" Could it be that she was wrong? Qi Xueyan has accumulated anger and resentment for too long, and today she feels relieved when she speaks out. How could she not speak up? It's just that Qi Xueyan never thought that when she wantonly humiliated Qi Shaodong and gained pleasure, Mrs. Qi would come, and even her mother who always loved her would beat her
Qi Xueyan's face was full of disbelief at the moment, covering her painful and hot face, she was really surprised.
Could it be that even the mother is partial to that person? What's so good about that guy? This is my own mother!
"Why did I hit you, don't you know? Yan'er, you let me down!" Mrs. Qi was too angry just now, that's why she stopped Qi Xueyan like that, and even moved her hand! Mrs. Qi has never been willing to beat her daughter who has been on her heart since she was a child. Now that she sees her beating her daughter, she regrets it a bit, but looking at Qi Xueyan's eyes, Mrs. Qi immediately becomes angry, "Look at you What is it like now? Is this the demeanor that a lady should have? What is the difference between you and a street shrew?" This is the daughter I have carefully taught. She was originally talented and virtuous, but why did she suddenly become like this
Is she too dereliction of duty as a mother? Or what happened to the daughter, why did it suddenly become like this? How can you still be a lady like this? If someone sees it and spreads the word, how will my daughter get married in the future
"Mother, why did you treat me like this? Why do you all treat me like this?" Qi Xueyan thought of her grievances and the crying she had suffered these days, tears flowed out. The memory of that day is too deep, and the shame is too deep, Qi Xueyan has never been so embarrassing in her life, how could she not mind, how could she not be angry
"I hit you to wake you up. How could you treat your elder brother like this? Respect elder brother, have you forgotten? You have learned all the rules before, "Female Precepts" and "Women's Virtue" Just forget?"
"I haven't forgotten!" She was just too angry, that's why she vented like this!
"Since you haven't forgotten, then you should apologize to your brother!" Madam Qi was really sad to see her daughter being so ignorant.
Treating elder brother like this, if it gets out, won't this reputation be ruined
The daughter is really too ignorant. In the future, when they go back in a hundred years, and the daughter gets married, won't they have to rely on their elder brother? I offended my elder brother when I was in the boudoir, what should I do in the future
"Mother!" She really didn't want to apologize, because Qi Xueyan felt that she was right! What she said is the truth, what is wrong
"Apologize quickly!" Without giving Qi Xueyan any chance, Mrs. Qi had an unquestionable expression on her face. Qi Xueyan knew that she could not resist, so she said reluctantly, "Brother, I'm sorry!"
Although Qi Shaodong is angry, but now is the time to show his brotherly demeanor, so when Qi Xueyan apologized, he forced a smile, not much sincerity, "It's good that my sister knows she's wrong, As a woman, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. I am your own brother, I don't care about it, but others don't."
"Dong'er, don't be angry, Yan'er was just impulsive, so you said those things, you are a brother, don't take it to heart, the girl is still young, sometimes it is inevitable that she does things improperly."
"Don't worry, mother, I'll save it!" Even though he said that, there was already a grudge between the siblings. How could he just forget the humiliation Qi Shaodong suffered just now? What's more, Qi Xueyan was too aggressive just now, Qi Shaodong was really dissatisfied with Qi Xueyan.
"Okay, you go to rest first, Yan'er has me here. I have been disciplined before, and I will discipline it well!" Knowing that this matter will affect the brother-sister relationship after all, Mrs. Qi sighs in her heart, but this will Well, she still has to figure out the situation first.
"Okay, mother!" Although she wanted Mrs. Qi to discipline Qi Xueyan well, it was also to prevent Qi Xueyan from doing anything harmful to the family in the future. But Qi Shaodong is a junior after all, he can't say anything to the elders, he can only leave after bowing.
As soon as Qi Shaodong left, Mrs. Qi's face was immediately icy cold, and she looked at Qi Xueyan with stern eyes, "Come in!"
"Yes, mother!" Feeling Madam Qi's anger, Qi Xueyan also hated herself for being impulsive just now, but what she hated even more was her carelessness. punished!
"You all go down first!" To teach her daughter a lesson, Mrs. Qi didn't want all the servants to see it, so that her daughter would not lose face!
"Yes, ma'am!" The servants avoided one after another, and closed the door intimately. Then Madam Qi looked at Qi Xueyan, and said in a cold voice, "Kneel down!"
"Mother!" I didn't expect Mrs. Qi to let herself kneel down, of course Qi Xueyan was unwilling!
Although she was impulsive, she didn't think she was wrong!
"Kneel down! Don't let me say it a second time!"
"Mother!" Looking at Mrs. Qi and the disappointed and reproachful eyes on the other party's face, Qi Xueyan finally knelt down, but this kneeling made her hatred for Shen Jingshu even deeper.
Shen Jingshu, it's all because of you that I am what I am now, I will not let you go! Certainly not!
"Do you know what's wrong?" Seeing her daughter's unwillingness, Mrs. Qi was really angry, but more disappointed.
Is this still her well-behaved and sensible daughter? The former daughter was so elegant and generous, but how did she become like this
"Mother, I..." Although I wanted to say loudly that I was right, but I was indeed too impulsive just now, Qi Xueyan looked at Mrs. Qi's eyes, and naturally didn't dare to say anything that would provoke her, so she had to obediently admit it, "Daughter knows wrong!"
"Then do you know where you went wrong?"
"A daughter shouldn't be unreasonable to her elder brother!" But if the other party didn't take her little sister too seriously, why would she be like this
"anything else?"
"My daughter shouldn't lose her identity!"
"Since you know, why do you still do this? Although this is at home, there are a lot of people talking about it. If it gets out, what will happen to your reputation? How will you meet people then?" a woman who hadn't reached the point of time said. It's so sharp and unscrupulous, can it be done when it grows up? Who is willing to marry such a woman? Mrs. Qi gets scared when she thinks about it!
"Daughter was impulsive just now." Seriously admitting her mistake, Qi Xueyan knew that Madam Qi should not be angered at this moment, otherwise the consequences would be serious!
"You also know that you are impulsive, so why are you so? Didn't I teach you when you were young? You should think twice before doing things, and remember to be impulsive. Have you forgotten?"
