But why did the master say that the lady named Michelle Yeoh is a beauty? I don’t dare to say that this aesthetic point of view is wrong.

Liu Shan's family saw that the old man had been looking at his daughter up and down since he saw her face. They couldn't help but become frightened and only smiled in apology.

Liu Baiyu thought that this girl was a beauty according to modern people's standards, but people in the Ming Dynasty didn't like such women. They thought she was ugly, so she gave herself a shortcut, but unfortunately she was still a bit thin and her capital was limited. Fortunately,

She seems to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and I don't know if she can improve after taking good care of her.

"How old is this girl? Has she ever been betrothed to someone else?" Liu Baiyu suddenly remembered that he was a master and had privileges. He took her without an engagement. If she had an engagement, she would probably be a slave. He didn't believe in right and wrong, so he resorted to both soft and hard methods.

It's still not possible to succeed. It's a general rule that Huang Shiren will succeed, and it's still hundreds of years away from the era of fighting against the local tyrants. What are you afraid of?

"Reply to the master, there is no engagement." Liu Shan's words were all in vain. The master's eyes were wandering, and he kept looking at his daughter, thinking something bad, "It's already ten...fourteen."

Fourteen? She is a standard little lolita. But she still decides on her rightful name, otherwise she will cry to death if someone else gets there first? Liu Baiyu practiced calligraphy for a few days when he was a child, and he majored in Chinese in college, so he has not forgotten the traditional Chinese characters.

How to write the name, I found a piece of accounting paper with rough edges and wrote in big words: "Liu Michelle", which was considered a name.

"Thank you, Master, for the name." Liu Shan led his daughter and kowtowed in thanks, but thinking about the master's eyes on his daughter, he couldn't calm down.

"When you get up, you are a master and a servant, and we are a family. No need to be polite." Liu Baiyu regarded Liu Shan as his future father-in-law, so how dare he put on airs? Regardless of the seriousness of his words, he tried to speak as gently as possible.

, "The monthly payment for you and your wife is still a lot as per the old practice."

"Thank you, Master." Liu Shan felt relieved. He was originally worried that the new owner would cut the monthly payment to force him to give up his daughter.

"It's not easy for you to have many children and a heavy burden. In this way, I will give your family half a stone of rice every month, which will save your family's food expenses."

"Master is so kind!" Liu Shan burst into tears of gratitude and almost knelt down. Half a stone of rice was enough for the whole family to eat for a month. The master's words were equivalent to five qian worth of silver. But when he thought about it, the taste was wrong.

In those years, there were usually four or five children in the family. I had two children. How could I have too many children and be burdened? I’m afraid I’m still planning on my own daughter!

It’s not that Liu Shan has any backbone or anything. If Liu Michelle is a beautiful woman and the master falls in love with her, I’m afraid that Liu Michelle will be unhappy if Liu Michelle becomes a maid to marry her, and Liu Shan will tie her up too. It’s just that Liu Shan feels that his daughter

She is ugly. Liu Baiyu also regards his daughter as a substitute for the noble lady Michelle Yeoh. After playing with it, he throws it away. What will he do with his own child?

Liu Baiyu felt that since he wanted to marry someone else's daughter, he shouldn't be mean to them, so he paused and said with a smile, "Can you read?"

Liu Shan gave an embarrassed smile. He only knew a few characters for shop signs, so naturally he didn't dare to claim to be literate. However, his son said, "To tell you the truth, I know how to read."

"Oh? Then can you do anything?" Liu Baiyu didn't have much hope at first. He wanted to cultivate a relationship with Liu Michelle in the name of teaching writing. He didn't expect that his future brother-in-law would have skills, but it was an unexpected surprise.

"He is not a errand. He always hangs out in the accounting room. He knows a few words and can count." Liu Shan hurriedly came to explain. As he spoke, he glared at his son and cursed in a low voice: "Why are you showing off!"

He knew that his son was restless, and that the second master was not kind to his daughter, so he was even more afraid that his son would suffer a loss.

The boy did not know much about literacy, and could only be considered semi-literate by modern standards. However, because he learned it from the accountant, he could also read and write accounts, which was considered a minor skill in ancient times.

When asked about his name, he was called Brother Liu. Liu Baiyu couldn't help but sigh that the name of the working people in ancient times was really simple and clear.

"Even if you can read and keep accounts, you will be responsible for keeping the accounts here in the future. You must remember each item clearly, understand? I will also give you a monthly payment of one yuan. If you don't make a mistake, you will be rewarded. If you make a mistake, you will be rewarded.

You want to be spanked, by the way, come to my room and learn how to count, so as not to make any mistakes." Liu Baiyu said as sanctimoniously as possible, trying his best to hide his intentions of plotting against his sister.

"Young man, I understand." Brother Liu was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly. How could such an account go wrong? Even if it was free money, and the master seemed to like his sister, relying on his sister's power, there would be no problem in setting up an accounting office by himself.

Asking him to keep accounts is not to manage money. In fact, it is to remind the family that every plant and tree here belongs to them, so that over time, Liu Shan will take advantage of his father-in-law's identity to have the idea of ​​occupying the dove's nest.

It is possible to do anything with your thoughts. Although ordinary people seem to be honest, there are too many examples of people whose temperament changes drastically in the face of interests.

Just when Liu Baiyu and his future brother-in-law were discussing strategies for his wife, Liu Shan and his wife also discussed it several times. What if the old man wanted to take his daughter to take over the house? His opinion was against it because his daughter had grown up.

If it doesn't work well, it's just a substitute for Michelle Yeoh's noble daughter. When the master gets tired of playing with her and throws her away, even an ordinary person may not be able to marry. Wouldn't life be worse than death?

Liu Shan and his wife had a different opinion. She was a slave who had signed a death contract, and she was just a talking object. If the master used force, what could she do? The slave master who had signed a death contract was beaten to death.

, if you report a sudden death, the government will not care, so what can you do? It is better to sacrifice your daughter and give your son a steward status. Anyway, the daughter is not good-looking, and she is also destined to have a foreign surname...

"You are selling your daughter and pushing her into a pit of fire, how can you bear it!" Liu Shan was born as a middle peasant after all, and he still retained a bit of a good temper. He did not dare to get angry when facing others, but when facing his own mother-in-law, he finally tolerated it.

Can't stand it any longer.

"You think I don't feel sorry for you? I am pregnant in ten months, and all the flesh has fallen from my body! Selling my daughter? Hasn't it been sold a long time ago? We have long been slaves, just objects! Besides, this daughter is so tall,

We are like savages, do we deserve to go out? We don’t want dowry anymore, except for that lame old bachelor Wang Laosan, are we just ordinary boys? We might as well give it to the master..."

Liu Shan and his wife said coldly.

"This!!!!" Liu Shan was shaking with anger, but after thinking carefully, what his mother-in-law said was correct, and finally squatted on the ground and said in pain:

"It's all my fault for being incompetent! I can't hold on to my ancestral land..."

Liu Shan and his wife also shed tears when they saw Liu Shan like this. She went over to hug her husband and said softly:

"The world is like this. This is fate. Master Zhang changed his post to his brother, Master Guan, or the county magistrate, Bailihou! Didn't he keep his family property? There are thousands of acres of good land in Shaanxi, plus dozens of houses, and hundreds of families.

People, haven’t they been burned down by the bandits! It’s worse than our family! This is fate, we have to accept it.”

As they talked, the couple hugged each other and cried together.

After listening to her parents' answers, Michelle Liu made up her mind. Since she was a worthless thing and the master was so blind that he cared less about her, she might as well exchange her for a younger brother's background, so that her father would not waste his money on her.

One game.

However, Brother Liu didn't know that his parents and sister were worried about him at this time. He was focused on his dream of becoming the brother of the eldest maid of his wife. He followed Liu Baiyu and trotted over, constantly praising his sister's benefits and virtues.

The false words came one after another, making Liu Baiyu dizzy.

"Tell me the truth, what does your sister like to eat, wear, play, etc."

"My sister likes to eat sweets and red dates as much as I do. Naturally, she wants to wear silk and satin, but she can't afford it, and we don't have anything to play with at home. It's just that my sister likes to look in the mirror."

Brother Liu feels very embarrassed here. His sister is a bit shameless. She looks so unattractive and likes to look in the mirror.

"That's good, that's good!" Liu Baiyu felt that Liu Michelle's hobbies were not difficult to satisfy, so he simply said more straightforwardly:

"According to the customs here, if I want to get engaged to your sister, how much do I need as a bride price?"

"A new set of clothes, some jewelry, some cakes, and bedding will do the trick!" Brother Liu spared no effort to betray his sister, and he just had to tie her up and send her over.

"It's not difficult, just wait." Liu Baiyu used the plane merchant system to prepare a small wheelbarrow in the courtyard around the corner, and then called his cheap brother-in-law over.

"These are all gifts for your sister, as well as the betrothal gift from your family... By the way, if we agree on the marriage, there will be benefits!" Liu Baiyu remembered that his family seemed to value ten taels of silver very seriously, so

He took out the twenty taels of silver ingots that he had redeemed from the future and gave them to Brother Liu.
