Chapter 20 I'll Be Your Concubine
“Mee…..Mee….”
“Mee…..Mee….”
Jiang Miaomiao and her family didn't go anywhere today.
Be prepared to wait and see.
Lu Qingyao was picking vegetables in the front yard.
Jiang Miaomiao was held by her brother and was watching the sheep in the backyard.
Children all like sheep very much.
Even Jiang Miaomiao, who is not a child at heart, is no exception.
He was shaking a piece of grass in his hand.
Babbling in his mouth...
Come here...eat grass...
She wanted to feed the sheep.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Someone is coming.
The siblings ran to the front yard.
fortunately.
It was my aunt, not the person who bought the sheep.
Liu Yu Niang agreed last night that she would accompany Lu Qingyao to the town to ask for money.
I also want to come and complain to her, my younger sister-in-law.
She was almost heartbroken to spend an extra ounce of silver for nothing.
Lu Qingyao just listened quietly.
But not surprising.
This is also why she lent Liu Yu Niang fifteen taels instead of ten taels, because she was afraid that Landlord Liu would not let it go.
Have more money on hand to be prepared for any eventuality.
As long as I can refuse the marriage and get rid of the Liu family's entanglement, everything will be fine.
But given Liu Yu Niang's money-loving personality, she will probably have to live frugally for a while.
"Sister-in-law, calm down. Just pay it off. We can live a good life in the future and never owe anyone anything again." Lu Qingyao comforted her.
Let’s talk about the reason why Taoxi Village is so poor.
I'm afraid that most of the money earned by the villagers went into the pocket of landlord Liu.
After hearing her words, Liu Yu Niang felt better.
But I still feel a little worried, "Sister-in-law, but I still owe you..."
No matter how greedy she is, she is not the kind of person who is ungrateful and takes advantage of others.
Even if my brother-in-law and sister-in-law don't urge me, the couple will pay it back as soon as possible.
Seeing her like this, Lu Qingyao patted her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, pay it back slowly. I won't charge you interest. You can borrow it for as long as you want."
She had no intention of asking her elder brother and sister-in-law to pay it back.
But she was afraid that money came too easily and would make them lazy.
That would be a waste of time.
Liu Yu Niang stood up suddenly and said, "Come on, sister-in-law. I'll accompany you to the town to find the shepherd."
Having given away some money today, she was now thinking about getting the two taels of silver back.
He was determined not to give up until she came back.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to go. I'll take you to see something." Lu Qingyao led her to the backyard.
Jiang Miaomiao was also carried by her brother and followed.
She liked to see her aunt's surprised look, and every time she did, it looked like her eyes were about to pop out of her head.
So funny!
"This...this...where do so many sheep come from?" Liu Yu Niang widened her eyes and opened her mouth.
Jiang Miaomiao stared at her mouth.
Where livestock are raised there are many insects and ants.
Winter is no exception.
A bug was flying around in front of her.
Fly and fly...
Almost, the bug flew in...
Liu Yu Niang came back to her senses and gave Lu Qingyao an ambiguous look.
She had seen her brother and sister-in-law slaughtering wild boar meat, and their movements were skillful and neat.
Even though she didn't understand, she knew that her sister-in-law had some skills.
A seemingly weak woman slaughtered two wild boars.
You can imagine.
How awesome!
One pig, two bears, and three tigers.
Wild boars often travel in groups and have violent temperaments.
Its aggressiveness is no less than that of a blind bear.
When Lu Qingyao saw her expression, she knew that she was thinking the wrong thing.
It's a bit funny and sad.
She explained, "Sister-in-law, these sheep followed the scent of the ewes. I guess the shepherd is looking for them everywhere right now."
When Liu Yu Niang heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
I counted them and found eight of them, of different sizes!
It is worth at least eight or nine taels of silver.
She took Lu Qingyao's hand and said solemnly, "Sister-in-law, don't go to town these days. If possible, don't leave the house. If you want to buy anything, tell me and I'll buy it for you."
"Sister-in-law... this is a bit too paranoid."
"You're right, I told you this. This sheep got here on its own. It's all retribution for that unscrupulous businessman. We absolutely cannot let him take it back."
As Liu Yu Niang spoke, her eyes were looking at the sheep one by one.
I was thinking about how much I could sell it for when it grew up and became a fat sheep.
Lu Qingyao smiled but said nothing.
I squeezed some goat milk and brought it back to her.
Now not only children can drink goat milk, but adults can drink it too.
There will be more to come.
It can be made into feta cheese.
What's more, it can be made into the most precious milk.
Ever since Liu Yu Niang saw the sheep, she completely forgot her previous unhappiness.
But there was one person who hated it with gnashing teeth.
Over the years.
No one dared to act wildly on his territory.
The Jiang family is the first one.
Landlord Liu took out an ingot of silver and handed it to Aunt Wang.
"Master Liu, I dare not accept it if I haven't done my job..." Aunt Wang was too terrified to take it.
This Lord's money is not easy to earn.
"Keep it. I have other things for you to do." Landlord Liu had an obscene smile on his face.
Aunt Wang's heart skipped a beat, but she still stepped forward to take the silver and said, "Master, please speak."
"Aunt Wang, do you know where Jiang Quezi got all this money?"
"I heard from Mrs. Liu that it was lent to her by her sister-in-law... the one from Beijing..."
"Okay, I get it. Isn't the Jiang family's girl precious? Since she doesn't want to be the main wife, then... let her be a concubine..."
"Without his reputation, how can Jiang Quezi still be so arrogant?"
Seeing Aunt Wang didn't move, he looked unhappy and asked, "What are you standing there for? Do you think the silver is not enough?"
He took another ingot of silver from the plate and threw it to her.
Matchmaker Wang quickly took over and stammered, "Master Liu, I'm just afraid of Jiang Laoer's wife... After all... her husband is still a high-ranking official in Beijing..."
She could see that Jiang Laoer's wife was a powerful person and she also protected Jiang Quezi's family.
If she knew.
I was afraid that I would be cut into pieces by her like that wild boar.
"Why should I be afraid of her?" Landlord Liu snorted.
"A deserted woman driven out by Jiang Lao Er, with no family left, I want to see how she can get on."
Ever since he suffered a setback that day, he has been asking people about it.
This so-called wife of the Minister came to Taoxi Village after being driven out of the Jiang family.
There is no support behind.
The Minister's Mansion has now promoted a concubine to be his second wife.
I'm afraid it will be difficult for this person to go back.
When Aunt Wang heard this, she became curious.
"What does Master Liu know?"
Landlord Liu stroked his beard, a sly smile on his face. "All you need to know is that Mrs. Lu was thrown here by Old Second Jiang. The Jiang family already has a new mistress, and her family has been convicted and exiled to Lingnan. Go with peace of mind. She can barely protect herself, so she wouldn't dare to do anything to you. There's a generous reward for your success."
After saying that, he threw another ingot of silver to her.
Aunt Wang was very happy.
In that case, she has nothing to worry about.
