Chapter 265: As long as you are responsible for being cute
Mother Wang glanced at Mother Li sympathetically.
Mother Li gave Mother Wang a look of help.
If we talk about the dignity in front of the old lady, she is naturally the bigger one than Mama Wang.
Mother Wang sighed secretly, looked at the old lady, and said cautiously: "I heard that Lord Fude once saved the life of Magistrate Xia, so the prefect's wife accepted Lord Fu as her adopted daughter."
When Mrs. Wang said this, she paused and added hesitantly: "This... is a life-saving grace after all. Can Magistrate Xia and his wife really arrange this marriage for the sake of their own son's future?"
?”
"I think you're a little confused too! So what about the help?"
"One is my goddaughter and the other is my biological son. It's clear which one is more important!"
"What's more, by selling the favor of the Duke of Guo, they are equivalent to hooking up with the Duke of Guo. I'm afraid they will get what they want!"
After the old lady finished speaking, a look of pride appeared on her face.
Mother Wang sighed inwardly.
Has the old lady forgotten that a small seventh-grade county magistrate dares to refuse to help?
However, she did not dare to say these words to remind the old lady.
After all, this is a disgrace to the Duke's government.
Mother Wang knew in her heart that if there was no past, the old lady would definitely not be like this.
Now, I am also confused by the young master's serious illness.
"That's what the old lady taught you." Mother Wang said respectfully.
Immediately, he looked at Li's mother and bravely said: "Old madam, although the goddaughter is separated by one layer and not as good as the biological son, there is still a level of goddaughter. If this is still based on Xiniang's status,
If I mention this marriage to the prefect’s wife, I’m afraid that the prefect’s wife will have concerns about her daughter’s future marriage…”
After all, the goddaughter acts as a happy concubine, which also lowers the status of all Xia family daughters.
Of course, the most important thing is that if a goddaughter becomes a concubine for someone else's wedding, the face of being a godmother is really dull.
After hearing what Mother Wang said, the old lady showed a hint of disdain on her face.
"Are there not many concubines from wealthy families who are given to others as concubines? What's more, they are just a little goddaughter? Besides, our Duke's office has already let the girl from the Su family do it.
Concubine, is it possible that after being kicked out by others, she changed her story that she married a matchmaker and became the wife of the wife? Wouldn’t that be a slap in the face? "
When the old lady spoke at the end, her voice suddenly became louder.
Mother Wang quickly lowered her head, knowing that there was no room for change in this matter.
The old lady seemed to have remembered something and looked at Mother Wang with sharp eyes.
"Why, do you think that our dignified young master from the Duke's residence is not worthy of a country girl?"
Mother Wang was startled and said in a frightened tone: "I have been wronged! Anyone who can enter the gate of our Duke's Mansion is a blessing she earned in her previous life, even if she is a concubine!"
After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, the old lady softened her tone.
"You don't have to be so panicked. I know that if Jin'er is in good health, not to mention a little country girl, even girls from high-ranking families in the capital can be chosen by our Duke's office...
"
When the old lady said this, she suddenly felt heartbroken.
Where are there so many what-ifs in this world?
If her grandson had been in good health, she would not have tried every means to violate her conscience and force others.
"Forget it, you go and help pack up the gifts. The gift is 20% thicker. Take the pair of glazed two-color bottles with you, so as not to bring shame on our Duke's palace." The old lady waved her hand.
"This slave knows." Mother Wang said quickly.
Immediately, he gave Mother Li a helpless look.
After all, there is a difference between master and servant. Even if she wins face in front of the old lady, she is just a servant.
She didn't dare to say anything that offended her master's taboos.
A wry smile appeared on Mother Li's face, knowing that she would definitely go on this trip.
I can only pray in my heart that nothing will go wrong on the road.
However, even though I pray in my heart, I still need to take the necessary precautions.
So, Mother Li said: "Old madam, it's a long way to Fucheng. I would like to get an extra carriage, just in case..."
Mother Li didn't say what she said next, but everyone understood the meaning.
Just in case the carriage breaks down again along the way.
After hearing what Mrs. Li said, the old lady felt heartbroken again and vented a lot of her anger.
"You have been serving me for so many years. You can make your own decisions on this matter. I have never seen you follow so many rules." The old lady said angrily.
"It's your fault." Mother Li quickly admitted her mistake.
But I breathed a sigh of relief.
Both carriages can't be on the road.
As everyone knows, Mother Li's trip went very smoothly.
It was a smooth journey to Fucheng.
This time Mother Li entered the mansion of Xia Prefect, and that time Magistrate Zheng also returned to Fengqi County from Daliushu Village.
As soon as County Magistrate Zheng entered the county seat, he hurried directly to the inn and visited the old lady again.
And he promised to help send people to Daliushu Village.
As for the purpose of the people sent, Magistrate Zheng did not say clearly.
The old lady took it for granted that Magistrate Zheng sent people to help suppress the unruly people, so she brought the little sugar baby from the Su family.
Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials.
With Magistrate Zheng's guarantee, the old lady felt much more at ease and felt confident again.
"Go and see if Jin'er is awake?" the old lady asked Ziyun.
After Ziyun went out, he quickly came back.
As soon as the old lady saw Ziyun's expression, she knew that her grandson was still asleep.
I couldn't help but feel more and more urgent, wanting to bring my little sugar baby to my grandson's birthday.
At this time, she did not know how much trouble her actions would bring to the British government.
**
Daliu Shu Village.
The little sugar baby took a stack of rice paper and ran to Xuanyuan Jin.
"Brother, can you write something for me?"
After saying that, he blinked his big eyes expectantly and looked at Xuanyuan Jin.
"Write what?"
Xuanyuan Jin took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from the little sugar baby's forehead.
"Write a contract."
"Contract? What is a contract?"
"Oh, just write the deed."
The little sugar baby quickly explained.
"Why did you write the deed?" Xuanyuan Jin asked in confusion.
"Of course to prevent..."
A meal for the little sugar baby.
To prevent the masters of the academy, especially Liu Juren, from suddenly giving up their jobs.
Speaking of which, what happened at the Li family private school is a ready-made example.
There was no employment contract between the two parties. As a result, the teachers collectively gave up their jobs and the private school was immediately paralyzed.
The little sugar baby understands that if it were not for the fact that his academy has not yet been completed, those teachers would not have waited until the end of the month to resign.
Therefore, things must be done to prevent problems before they occur.
It is very necessary for both parties to sign an employment contract.
"Prevent what?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
"Brother, you will know after you finish writing."
The little sugar baby didn't explain, and only urged Xuanyuan Jin to start writing.
My little brother is so smart, he will definitely understand it after writing it.
Xuanyuan Jin polished his pen and asked: "How to write?"
Little sugar baby, "..."
She seems to only speak in vernacular.
Forget it, just write in vernacular.
Isn't it just a matter of spending some pen and ink?
"I hereby hire...Blank...as the wife of Ford Academy...the monthly salary is three taels of silver, including three meals and lodging..."
The little sugar baby said while looking at Xuanyuan Jinwriting.
Although Xuanyuan Jin's handwriting appears immature, it has already shown some character.
The little sugar baby thinks that at his age, he is already quite good at writing such handwriting.
"... Submit a written application for resignation one month in advance... Anyone who violates this will pay ten times the penalty as a contract."
After the little sugar baby finished speaking, Xuanyuan Jin's brows furrowed.
"What a fuss!"
Little sugar baby, "..."
"It's really verbose, but I understand it! And it's not easy for ambiguity to arise!" Xiao Tangbao said confidently: "Is it possible that you want me to read out the words and sentences of the eight-legged essay?"
The little sugar baby is convinced that he does not have that level of education.
Moreover, she deeply suspected that the reason why ancient people used classical Chinese to read and write was because pen, ink, paper and inkstone were too expensive.
Otherwise, why can you speak in plain English and then turn it into words? One word has multiple meanings?
Of course, it also saves time on writing.
Xuanyuan Jin was speechless after hearing what the little sugar baby said.
"As long as you are reasonable, you will quibble all day long."
Xuanyuan Jin said, tapping the little sugar baby's forehead with a brush.
Then, looking at the little girl with a black ink on her forehead, a smile flashed in her eyes.
The little sugar baby grinded his little white teeth and said sadly: "Brother, you are getting more and more unlovable!"
Although the little brother before was awkward and bratty, he would not bully me easily.
At best, it used to be just words.
The result of using his mouth was that he was almost mad at himself.
Now it's better, I can't help but flick my head and put ink on my forehead.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at the little girl's accusing eyes. Instead of reflecting, the corners of his mouth turned up.
Of course, if others describe him as cute, they will not accept the anger of a storm.
"As long as you are responsible and cute." Xuanyuan Jin said, "I am a man and I should stand upright."
