Chapter 81
Xue Shun is very easy to coax, just one word will do the trick.
Besides, Shen Jiao was so sincere and treated him so well, why wouldn't he believe it?
My sour, empty heart felt numb, as if it was filled up by something, like a riverbed that had been dry for a long time, and the water was rising again. The barren land would no longer be barren, and all things would grow because of the water.
Xue Shun opened his heart for the first time: "Shen Jiao, when I save enough money, I will redeem you from Huisheng Valley, okay? I will write a document of release and free you from slavery. Then we can go out and have fun together. Ignore all this. I will exchange my share of the family property for money, travel around and never come back, okay?"
He still didn't dare to look up to see Shen Jiao's expression.
He didn't even dare to use force with his clenched fingers.
But the sweat on his palms and the slight trembling gave him away.
His mood was not at peace.
He was waiting for an answer.
Shen Jiao was quite surprised. She didn't expect Xue Shun to be so serious, and she didn't expect him to have such thoughts after hearing the price.
You are a pauper, but you still try to save others from dire straits. What do you call this?
Some people say that this is a good gentleman.
Some people say this is a stupid thing.
Shen Jiao said, "What about Qiongzhi and the others? Should they go together?"
"It's just the two of us," Xue Shun said without hesitation. After a moment's thought, he said, "I'll ask my mother to find a good place for them to live and leave them some money. If they don't want to be slaves anymore, I can let them go."
It’s a pretty appropriate idea.
Shen Jiao said softly, "I'm willing to go with you anywhere."
"real?"
"Of course, it's more real than real gold."
No way.
Xue Shun is a big trouble. Not to mention anything else, just this body will cause trouble wherever he goes. Being with him is purely asking for trouble.
Shen Jiao was talking nonsense.
Xue Shun believed it, mustered up the courage to look at her, even forgetting to wipe the tears from his face. He just stared at that sincere and gentle expression, burst into laughter and said, "Then we have a deal."
Shen Jiao nodded: "Yeah, it's settled."
"No regrets allowed!"
"I'd like to high-five you."
With a snapping sound, the slightly painful palm made Xue Shun realize that this was not a dream.
He smiled a little foolishly: "I'm pretty lucky, right? I never thought that one day I would meet someone as good as you."
Shen Jiao had thought that he would meet a bad master.
"You are too kind, sir. I am not that good." She said it very humbly, which was completely different from what she thought in her heart.
Shen Jiao certainly knows in her heart that she is perfect and anyone who meets her is lucky, but shouldn't such a good person deserve better?
Why would she stay with Xue Shun, such a troublemaker, and clean up his mess all day long? And take care of his delicate body?
She had no grudge against him, nor was she born to be a mean person who loved to serve others. If she had the chance, she would certainly leave him without hesitation.
She can just go and have fun on her own.
Maybe she would hire a few more maids and guards. In short, there was no big trouble like Xue Shun in her plan.
There was no need for Xue Shun to redeem him, as the document had long been in the Madam's hands. However, there was no need to tell him about this.
"You are the best to me."
Shen Jiao responded to Xue Shun's words with a smile, and thought disapprovingly: That's because you have never gotten anything better, otherwise you wouldn't take a servant seriously.
One should not listen to, observe or ponder carefully the affairs of the world and the hearts of people, otherwise they will all be filthy. One should just live day by day, be happy while one is happy, and only by judging by deeds rather than by the heart can one be happy in the long run.
Shen Jiao is well aware of this.
I helped him wipe his hands clean and picked up the cloak for him to try on.
It fits quite well.
"It's so warm."
Xue Shun's clothes should be thicker. In the past, no one took care of them for him, and he didn't care, so he just made do with them. But he was not a fool who didn't know the cold or the warmth. He knew what comfort was. He took good care of them, tightened them, and looked at himself in front of the mirror before taking them off embarrassedly, folding them, and putting them aside.
Someone was sent to tell Mr. Song that day that he didn't need to come the next day, as he would go there to study at 1 a.m.
Put on the cloak the next day.
He was still a little weak and shouldn't overwork. Shen Jiao advised him to take it easy before going out, but Xue Shun was surprisingly stubborn, like a child who couldn't wait to show off his beloved item.
Even if no one asked, he would still say, "I'm wearing the cape that Shen Jiao made for me today. Don't take the wrong one."
"Sir, be careful not to knock over the inkstone. This cloak of yours was newly made by Shen Jiao. It would be a shame if it got dirty."
"I feel good today. Shen Jiao made me a new cloak. It's very thick. Although it's a bit windy, it's not too cold."
In just one day, the maids in the courtyard, Mr. Song, Wei Qian, and even the deaf and dumb knew that he had a new cloak made by Shen Jiao.
He also wrote to Tianlong specifically, asking him to put the medicine bowl away so as not to dirty the new cloak that Shenjiao made for him.
Tianlong looked at the cloak that was eight feet away from him, then looked at the bowl of medicine that would get cold if he didn't drink it soon. He silently placed the bowl on the stone table in the yard, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction: It's far enough!
Di Ya gave him a thumbs up: Well done!
Xue Shun: ...
It's really raised by Wei Qian, not cute at all!
He took Xuan Xiao and his family to the yard, drank the medicine, and walked around again. They didn't run away, but hung on him like they were fake. Occasionally, they slipped to the ground and turned around quickly. When they heard any movement, they would immediately squeak and climb on him, or huddle at his feet and tremble until he picked them up.
They are as well-behaved as little kids, except that they love to chew.
Taking advantage of the situation, he chewed up Xue Shun's homework into pieces.
It was smart that it didn't swallow the paper scraps.
Xue Shun was so angry that he walked around the room, threatening to teach these bad mice a lesson.
I searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable one.
Finally, he bent his fingers and flicked their plump butts.
Judging from their appearance, they were somewhat unconvinced. They all turned their backs to Xue Shun and refused to pay attention to him. He then took food to coax them.
Naturally, Shen Jiao copied the homework again to prevent him from being too tired.
Xue Shun didn't go to sleep either. He was busy serving tea, grinding ink and passing snacks.
Anyone could see that he was in a good mood.
Wei Qian took advantage of his good mood today and asked him if he could plant some herbs in the vacant land in the backyard, but he refused.
Only then did he say, "Let's take good care of the land in the backyard and plant some flowers next year. They will be there for a long time to enjoy."
He remembered that Shen Jiao wanted to grow flowers.
"How about you choose and I plant the seeds?"
Shen Jiao replied casually, "Okay, if we take good care of them, we can sell them."
Xue Shun also earned some money from the vegetables he grew.
Xue Shun smiled at her and said, "Why don't you plant more? Then you can sell half and keep the other half, so you don't end up with nothing."
Shen Jiao has no objection.
He began to think about it excitedly, and then told Qiongzhi and the others to remove the tiles in the front yard to make some space.
A nice yard looks like it has been chewed by a dog.
Xue Lang was probably still staring at them. He was not behaving well in the ancestral hall and pretended to send many flowers, plants and trees over.
Xue Shun really disliked him, but he had no grudge against the thing, so he took it anyway, checked it inside and out, and threw it into the ground.
Save another sum of money!
