Chapter 125: Sophora japonica Street

Chunzhu's expression was a little expectant.

She saw that Xu Qiuyue didn't seem to directly reject her request.

So he said to Xu Qiuyue: "Madam, if the young master is seduced by some coquettish bitch in the future, it would not be good for you to order the young master's guards around.

If you recruit a few guards, it will be convenient for you to use them when the time comes."

Xu Qiuyue looked at Chunzhu's expectant eyes and said to him, "In three days, the court will have a batch of official slaves to sell. Come with me to choose them then!"

"Thank you, Madam."

Chunzhu was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Those young masters from aristocratic families, perhaps because their mothers were extremely beautiful, or perhaps because they had been living in luxury since childhood, all of them looked good.

Many civilians can’t even get enough to eat, how can you expect them to grow taller?

In addition, he did hard labor outside every day, and his back was bent by the carrying pole at a young age.

Under such a burden, the appearance of common people cannot be compared with that of nobles.

Although being an official slave is a crime, it depends on what the crime is. If it is not an unforgivable crime, then the next generation can pass the imperial examination normally.

The prerequisite is that three children must be born and must survive to adulthood, regardless of gender.

Even if there are two daughters and one son, the son can also be given a separate native place.

Because slavery must be inherited by two people.

Chunzhu thought it would be a good idea for her daughter to continue staying in the Lu Mansion as a maid.

And by then she will definitely be the mistress's nanny.

Her daughter will definitely have a good life in the Lu Mansion.

As for those men outside, Chunzhu doesn't completely look down on them.

But family members know their own business.

She is just a little maid.

Even if people like her, they can only give her the status of a concubine.

She didn't want to be a concubine.

Moreover, if she marries someone from the mansion, she can still rely on Xu Qiuyue if he bullies her in the future.

As long as it was the other party's fault, Chunzhu believed that Xu Qiuyue would help her.

Therefore, the best person Chunzhu wanted to marry was the guard in the mansion.

But now, the guards in the palace basically all have targets.

Naturally, she hoped that Xu Qiuyue could hire a bodyguard from outside.

Chunzhu was waiting happily. She was waiting for Xu Qiuyue to go out in three days.

Even these few days, I feel full of energy when working.

Xingzhu is good at martial arts and is highly skilled. He is the young master's confidant and is used to protect Xu Qiuyue.

Basically, there is no need to do any work.

Xu Qiuyue also knew this, so she said that Chunzhu had worked hard.

Chunzhu was not jealous of Xingzhu at all, after all, Xingzhu was capable.

She was jealous of Hongling because Hongling, like her, did not know martial arts, so she felt that she and Hongling were similar.

But now, Hongling's life is much better than hers.

Although Lu Yuan went to the Dali Temple to work every day, he usually only brought one attendant with him. It was inappropriate to bring a large group of people to the Dali Temple, so the captain of the guard had plenty of time to accompany Hong Ling.

Lu Shi is Lu Yuan's confidant, and his status is unmatched by ordinary people.

Hongling is staying at the Lu Mansion to take care of her pregnancy, and she has very good meals three times a day.

However, Hongling usually likes to go to the kitchen to cook a few dishes and eat meat.

This is a privilege that no one else has.

How could Chunzhu not be jealous? Life in this mansion was good, even better than what she ate during the New Year.

Xu Qiuyue eats simple and ordinary food every day.

Hongling eats no worse than Xu Qiuyue every day.

Xu Qiuyue was the master, so it was normal for her to eat well. But Hongling was a servant, and she ate so well and lived such a good life, so how could Chunzhu not be jealous?

Later, Xu Qiuyue said that she would receive the same treatment after she got married, and could rest until she had a child, and could continue to receive monthly wages.

Chunzhu wanted to get married even more.

She wanted to get married and pregnant while Hongling was resting, so that Hongling would not be able to replace her for too long.

She can still work while pregnant.

Her mother was still able to go out to play while she was pregnant with her!
She will rest when her body is at its heaviest and she is about to give birth.

Then watch your children grow up.

The days when you can see the end of your life at a glance are the truly good days.

Xu Qiuyue also wanted to start training her own people at this time.

This indenture contract can only be trusted if she holds it in her hands.

What's more, it was Chunzhu who took the initiative to suggest buying guards.

Sophora japonica street.

This is where many dignitaries in the capital buy slaves.

Generally speaking, nobles seldom come here in person, and almost always ask the housekeeper to come here.

There are many different kinds of people coming here.

But there is only one purpose, which is to buy slaves.

Some of these servants might have been nobles whom people dared not look directly at the day before.

The capital city was the most prosperous place in the prosperous dynasty.

It is also the place where power changes fastest.

Many people think that they can protect themselves by not taking a stand.

But if you don't stand in position, you will die faster.

Anyone can move someone who has no foundation.

Without sufficient strength and power, you must take a stand.

But once he is in a position, he has no choice. If something goes wrong, then even if he has not made any mistake, he has made a mistake.

Xu Qiuyue specially brought Chunzhu and Xingzhu along.

"I plan to assign two guards to my yard. Each of you two can help me choose a guard. Look carefully and take your time to choose."

"Thank you, Madam."

Chunzhu said to Xu Qiuyue happily.

"Yes, young lady."

Xingzhu was a little confused. She didn't understand why Chunzhu was so excited.

Chunzhu grabbed Xingzhu at this time and reminded her in a low voice: "You must choose your guards carefully and slowly this time. Don't waste this opportunity."

Chunzhu was sincerely reminding Xingzhu at this time, because she felt that Xingzhu was not young anymore.

It’s time to get married.

This is a good opportunity. Although I may not necessarily marry the other person, it is a very good opportunity.

Chunzhu has made up his mind. As long as he observes the other person after getting along with him for a while and finds that the other person has good character, he will ask Xu Qiuyue to grant him marriage.

"The wife and daughter of the Imperial Physician Liu from the Imperial Hospital, don't miss her if you pass by. She is literate, a real lady from a noble family, and still a virgin. Now she only costs ten taels of gold."

The man on the stage was holding a beautiful girl, and while talking he deliberately tore her clothes, exposing her fair and round shoulders, showing off his assets.

Xu Qiuyue could already hear the breathing of the men around her becoming rapid.

Such tricks are very effective against those wealthy businessmen. This is the daughter of a high-ranking imperial physician!
However, he was framed, which displeased the emperor and led to this fate.

It was precisely because they had offended the emperor that the powerful people in the capital were unwilling to help the Liu family.

So as not to displease His Majesty.

Imperial Physician Liu was an excellent doctor and many dignitaries in the capital had been treated by him.

But I never expected that I would end up like this and no one would come to help.
