Chapter Thirteen: Danzhu and Subai

In the next two days, Danzhu and Wu Ping talked about their sweet love. Their relationship flourished and they almost stayed together at night.

On the fourth day, Danzhu, who was so excited that he hadn't slept much for three consecutive days, finally caught Jintong free and Subai had no time to wait for him, and chatted with Jintong.

"Madam, madam! I, my slave, are talking to you!" Danzhu squeezed beside Jintong, holding Jintong's hand, his eyes were shining, and his whole body exuded a strong, sour smell of love.

It seems that this marriage is going to happen, Jintong thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel happy for Danzhu.

"The soup cake shop on Zhong Street is not big and only has about a dozen tables. Brother Heping and I stayed there for three days. The most people were at dinner time, and they sold an average of 1,560 servings every day.

. Calculated in this way, you can sell two hundred copies a day, and one copy is worth 12 taels, and you will earn more than 20 taels a day. Calculate the net profit for a month, at least 200 or 30 taels of silver. If you need one or two in the future.

It’s enough for children to study.”

Danzhu calculated 1510 to Jintong: "Madam, I have saved more than a thousand taels of silver due to your love over the years. I plan to take 500 taels back to my parents, and the rest will be used as a gift."

The money for the private house is gone. Brother Ping has said that the money for the store will be borne by him."

Jintong was a little worried: "Making food is not as busy as having you by my side."

"As long as the servant can hold on, no matter how busy or hard it is, it will be easier than the slave's father, mother and brothers working in the village."

"If you think about it carefully, I will ask Wu An to take over the store. It's up to you to decide how to arrange it."

"How can you bother Madam like this? I have calculated it with Wu Ping and we have enough money!"

"Don't shirk it. It's not just you. Anyone who comes from Jian'an Marquis Mansion to serve me loyally, I will make arrangements for you so that you can live a worry-free life for the rest of your life!"

Jintong thought about the few maids she had, they were 16 in Qiaolu and Yanhong, 15 in ruby ​​and emerald, and 4 were younger in gold, gold, leaf, and round jade, so there was no rush.

Ningzi and Danzhu were the same age, and Danzhu was married to Wuping. Ningzi's family had already arranged the marriage, and they planned to come over and ask Jintong for a favor to get married when Ningzi turned 20.

Only Subai, the oldest one, remained motionless. Jintong asked enthusiastically: "Subai, do you have someone you like? Just tell me if you do, and I will make the decision for you."

Subai replied bluntly: "Madam, I don't want to marry!"

Jintong thought how could a woman in this dynasty not marry?

Then he continued to ask enthusiastically: "Don't you think you are suitable? It doesn't matter. I will help you find a good one, and then I will marry you off!"

Unexpectedly, Subai suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Jintong several times, which startled the boss Jintong and quickly got up to help her.

Su Bai looked stubborn and determined: "Madam, Su Bai will not marry! If the lady does not want to serve as a servant, I will cut my hair and go to the family temple to pray for my wife as a aunt."

Jintong didn't expect Su Bai's reaction to be so big, and quickly helped her up: "Are you stupid? If you don't want to marry, you won't marry. Why are you saying those stupid things about being a monk? That temple has good Feng Shui, or you and Shen Miaolian

Do you have a deep relationship? I have to go over and accompany her to read scriptures at the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha."

Su Bai just wiped her tears and said, "I will only serve my wife for the rest of my life, and I don't care about other slaves." Then she ran away while wiping away her tears.

Jin Tong was left with a confused look on his face, and it took him a long time to realize that Su Bai must have something on his mind. If he wasn't usually a gentle and peaceful person, he wouldn't have lost his composure when he heard about the marriage.

She asked Aunt Cai to explain a few words and asked Aunt Qi to go take a look quickly to avoid anything happening to Subai.

Danzhu also looked confused and puzzled, and his mind suddenly started to worry: Could it be that Sister Subai also likes Wu Ping? What should I do?

After such an incident, Jintong had no thoughts. She told Danzhu that since she had determined that Wu Ping was suitable for him, she would choose a good and auspicious day for them to get married.

On the twelfth day of next month, she will go to Niutou Villa. Then she will bring Wu Ping there to let Danzhu's parents see this prospective son-in-law. If she needs anything, she can go to the warehouse to get it. After choosing it, she will tell her.

good.

Jintong told Aunt Cai a few more words, and Aunt Cai hurried to the small kitchen to pick up a drawer of exquisite desserts. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Su Bai leaning on the bed wiping her tears, while Aunt Qi was persuading her.

When Aunt Qi saw Aunt Cai coming, she left Subai with Aunt Cai and left first.

Aunt Cai took out a piece of pastry from the drawer: "Madam said, if you feel miserable, eat more desserts. Think about it, there are still many sweet and delicious things in the world, so you will feel better."

Su Bai swallowed the cake and ate it silently.

"The madam also said, after eating dessert, remember to rinse your mouth and wipe your teeth carefully, so as not to lose all your teeth at a young age. If you stand next to the madam and serve you, people will think that the madam is the master's abusive slave and beat you until you lose all your teeth.

It’s over!”

Su Bai couldn't help but laugh, and was moved in her heart. Sure enough, Madam still cared about her.

Aunt Cai stroked her plain white hair lovingly: "Silly boy! Madam doesn't know the situation, but she is only doing your best. If you show up today, won't you hurt Madam's heart?"

Su Bai was so ashamed that she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Grandma Cai. She said nothing and the cakes in her hands were crushed.

"Su Bai, if life is hard, how can you compare to me?" Aunt Cai's man and two children were all killed by the plague. This was well known to everyone in the Jingbei Hou Mansion.

When Nanny Cai came back to serve the late Madam, some people said that Nanny Cai had a hard life and was not suitable to serve the late Madam personally. However, the late Madam chose Nanny Cai and later pointed her to take care of Jintong.

Subai has been with Jintong since she was a child, so she naturally knows that, and she feels even more guilty: "Mommy, it's all my fault for making you think of sad things!"

"The dead are gone, we can't chase them!" Aunt Cai took Su Bai's hand and said: "Girl, look at me, I have food, clothing, everything. I can't compare to the wives of ordinary officials.

Come on, mama, I am here! Mama has one wish right now, to serve my wife well and watch her, Qi Ye and Hemeimei having children! When mama straightens her legs, she can accompany my damn ghost and the two of them.

If you have children, you can tell them that I have enjoyed all the blessings that you did not have time to enjoy for you——" Aunt Cai shed tears as she spoke.

Su Bai quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Aunt Cai held Su Bai's hand and said, "Your mother and sister are all suffering, and your sister was thrown to death without even taking a sip of milk. Su Bai, die."

People who are old cannot be saved, so those who are alive should cherish the present. Madam said, if you don't want to marry, you will not marry, and you will be with her for the rest of your life. "

Su Bai nodded with tears in his eyes.

That night, Aunt Cai came over personally to remove makeup and wash herself off for Jintong. Jintong knew that Aunt Cai must have something to say, so she asked a few questions.

Aunt Cai first sighed: "A plain-white mother has a hard life!" Then she told Jintong the reason.

Su Bai Niangqin was originally an embroiderer from Jingbei Hou Mansion. She was skilled in craftsmanship and good-natured. People called her Mrs. Su.

Su Bai's father was a steward of the stables in the mansion, named Yang He. He was very good at handling horses and was highly regarded by the Marquis of Jingbei at first.

At first, when the two got married, they got along pretty well. Later, Yang He got addicted to gambling for some reason and was fired from his job for stealing horses from the mansion and selling them. Yang He was resentful in his heart and got worse. He either gambled or drank heavily every day.

Most of the valuables in the family were lost to Yang He. However, Mrs. Su was unlucky and gave birth to three daughters one after another. The youngest one was said to be deformed when she was born and was thrown to death by Yang He.

Jintong was even more sympathetic to Su Bai: "Well Yang He drinks alcohol every day, no wonder the child is born with deformities."

"Aunt Qi also said the same thing at the beginning. Men who drink too much will give birth to offspring with many health problems."

"and after?"

"Yang He disliked that Mrs. Su would only give birth to daughters and had no way to continue the Yang family's lineage, so she often beat and scolded her. Mrs. Su cried every day, her eyes were broken from crying, her embroidery work was not as exquisite as before, and she earned less and less money. Then

Yang and He were so cruel that they secretly took away their six-year-old sister, Su Bai, sold her, and then came back and lied to the government that the child had died of illness."

The Yang family's husband and wife are both slaves, and the children born to them are also slaves. Only the master has the right to live, kill and sell. Moreover, children born to slaves in the family are normally handed over to the government at the age of five to learn various knowledge and then be treated as slaves.

Talents are distributed to various places.

"The child couldn't be found, and her husband was so virtuous. Madam Su was heartbroken, so she took Subai, who was only four years old, to the embroidery room, and begged the lady in charge to take Subai to the embroidery room to study, and just provide her with food. The family was really supporting her.

I'm sorry. The lady in charge was kind-hearted and accepted Su Bai as an exception, but unexpectedly something happened that night. Madam Su borrowed a bunch of money and a half, prepared a table of good food and wine, got Yang He drunk, and used

The doorbell smashed Yang He's head to pieces, and then he hung himself from the roof beam with a rope."

There was such a tragic thing in the world. Jintong was so angry that his facial features were deformed: "Didn't my mother care about it in the first place?"

"My Madam has always been in poor health. Who dares to tell Madam these dirty things? Later, when My Madam heard about it, she sent someone to retrieve Sister Subai and kept Subai by her side. She also gave Lady Su a grand burial.

Throw that Yang He into a mass grave and feed it to the dogs!"

"You deserve it!" Jintong asked again: "Has Su Bai's sister been found? It seems that she has never been mentioned by Su Bai."

Aunt Cai lamented again and sighed: "I found the six-year-old child. I don't know how much suffering he suffered. He was as skinny as a stick and only had one breath left. He left after less than three days..."

Jintong was also sighing. He thought about it for a moment, told Aunt Cai a few words and then stopped.
