No, for the safety of my own property, I can't let her lose her love for life no matter what I say.
I was still counting on her to earn back the money I spent on buying her.
Li Xue's originally pale face, after hearing Lin Jiuyue's words, added with a sad expression, made people want to take good care of her.
"Miss, I know everything you said. If it weren't for my parents, I would have given up long ago."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"I'm glad you understand."
"By the way, it's a bit late today. You should clean up your place first. We'll go to town together tomorrow. I'll be able to check on you then."
After listening to this, Li Xue looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
I have been in the Li Mansion for so many years, but the owner of the Li Mansion has never treated the servants.
Even if there were, only the servants the master trusted deeply could receive that kind of treatment. And I, having just arrived at the Lin family, was already being treated by the young lady! Isn't this a bad thing?
"Miss, no, it's not necessary. My life is worthless, and I don't need you to spend money to treat my illness."
Lin Jiuyue waved her hand.
"It's not entirely for you, I'm doing this for myself. You're my bought servant, and I don't want you to be gone before I even make back my investment. Then, wouldn't I be the one who suffers the loss?"
Li Xue lowered her head. When she looked up again, her eyes were different from before.
"Miss……"
Lin Jiuyue smiled at Li Xue.
"Since I bought you three, it means your family and I are destined to be together. It's just right that you don't want to go back to the Li family. From now on, you can live with your daughter and enjoy the best of everything. It will definitely be more comfortable than living in the Li family."
Li Xue looked out the window.
Is it really more comfortable here than at the Li family?
Oh, that's not right!
Ever since the eldest young master got married, his situation in the Li family has become somewhat awkward.
It wasn't until a while ago, when I was betrayed by the eldest young lady's wife, that I finally understood. Servants are servants after all, and they can't be compared with their masters.
Even if the master respects this servant, he is still a servant.
"Yes, miss."
Li Xue bowed and replied gratefully.
"Have you forgotten what I said? My family has few rules. From now on, if there are no outsiders around, there is no need to be polite."
Aunt Li, who was standing by, was happy to see her daughter talking to Lin Jiuyue for a few more words.
"Miss, since our family has been sold here, could you please give our Li Xue a new name?"
Lin Jiuyue did not refuse.
In this era, it was quite common for masters to give names to their servants. Moreover, if a servant wanted a name from his master, he had to be pleasing to the master.
Servants who are given names by their masters walk with more confidence than other servants.
"Well, in that case, I'll take it."
Aunt Li nodded.
"I hope Miss will give me a name."
Li Xue bowed and followed suit.
Lin Jiuyue thought about it.
"Why not just call her Xiyue?"
"Xiyue?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"So? If you don't like it..."
"Xiaoyue thanks Miss for the name."
Before Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, Li Xue began to bow and express her gratitude, obviously accepting the name.
Seeing that Li Xue had no objection and instead seemed impatient to change her name, Lin Jiuyue suddenly felt more distressed for the little girl in front of her.
Perhaps she also wanted to forget the past, right? That's why she thought that by changing her name, she could forget the past.
"Well, as long as you like it."
Aunt Li felt relieved to see that her daughter was talking a lot more than before.
When she was in Yaxing, my daughter always had a lifeless look on her face, and I was worried that she would suddenly lose her temper one day.
Unexpectedly, after the lady bought it back, her mood actually improved a lot.
I saw Li Xue, oh no, now her name is Xiyue.
Seeing Xiyue's mood improve, Aunt Li looked at Lin Jiuyue with gratitude, and secretly vowed in her heart that she must do a good job in the future to repay Lin Jiuyue's kindness.
"Miss, please give this old slave a name as well."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Aunt Li, forget it. You've been called that name for most of your life. If you change it now, people won't be used to it. I'll just call you Aunt Li."
Aunt Li saw that Lin Jiuyue didn't want to give her a name, so she didn't force her.
Anyway, I'm old, so any name is fine.
"Yes, miss."
"Miss, there's nothing else to do here. I'll be out first."
Xiyue's mood improved a little, and Aunt Li was also happy. She couldn't wait to share the good news with Li Xue's father to make him happy too.
"Go ahead."
There is nothing to do at home for the time being, so let these servants rest first after they are bought. After a few days, when things on my side are arranged, I will put them where they should go.
the next day.
"Uncle Li, go and hitch up the carriage. I'll take Xiyue with me to town. Oh, and Aunt Li will come with us."
"Uncle Li, take the rest of the people to this shop. I bought it not long ago. Take the remaining three people to inquire around the shop and find someone to renovate it."
Lin Jiuyue handed Uncle Li a note with the address of the newly purchased shop written on it.
These people were just bought by Lin Jiuyue, and he didn't know them very well yet. He thought of giving them some work to help them adapt first, and then assigning them to suitable places after they had adapted.
"Yes, miss."
Uncle Li was very grateful to Lin Jiuyue after listening to Aunt Li's words yesterday afternoon.
After harnessing the carriage, Uncle Li wanted to drive it, but Lin Jiuyue was afraid that the remaining three people would not be able to find the way, so she asked Uncle Li to lead them to walk to the town.
"Miss, what about this carriage?"
Lin Jiuyue waved her hand.
"I'll take the carriage myself."
Uncle Li looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
My master is not only a girl, but also a girl who can drive a carriage!
"Miss, let me drive the carriage."
Aunt Li thought for a moment and spoke.
Xiyue and I were servants, so how could the master drive the carriage while the servants rode in it? If this were to be made public, people would laugh at the Lin family for having no rules.
Lin Jiuyue looked at Aunt Li in surprise.
"Aunt Li, can you drive a carriage?"
Aunt Li smiled and nodded.
"Miss, I learned how to drive a carriage when I was young. I can also ride a horse. But now I am a little older and I don't ride a horse anymore."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
I only learned to ride a horse after I came here. I never thought that a servant I bought could also ride a horse! The ancient people were really amazing.
