"I remember putting it here. Could it be that that guy was here before and secretly switched the bag?" The steward guessed and laughed, "That guy is not very literate, so he probably can't find it..."
Just when the steward picked up another pile and was about to look through it, the concubine's voice came from outside the door.
"Sir, I forgot my handkerchief~"
The steward rolled his eyes, looked down, and saw that there was indeed a handkerchief on the ground. He had no choice but to drop the paper in his hand and pick up the handkerchief.
The door creaked open, and the concubine walked in. At this time, she had washed off the ink on her face and applied a little bit of powder.
"Sir, why are you still watching? Let's go back together. I have a lot of free time today~~ Sir, you want to accompany me~~" the concubine took the person in charge's arm, shook it and said coquettishly.
"Hmm~" The steward frowned, thought for a while, and finally put down the pile of papers he just picked up.
"You little devil~" The steward stretched out his hand and pinched the concubine's butt. The concubine let out a sweet cry and jumped to hold his arm.
"Let's go home, go home~" The steward hugged the concubine and left the room.
...
In the front hall, there were still many people registering as visitors. When many people saw a new face like Ma Xiaoquan, they inevitably asked a few questions.
Ma Xiaoquan was a little tired of dealing with it. Fortunately, there was a little girl who was helping to greet him in the front hall. She was young but had a clever mouth. In an hour, she helped Ma Xiaoquan resolve a lot of troubles.
When the work was over, Ma Xiaoquan walked up to the little girl, bowed politely, and said: "My name is Ma San, thank you girl~"
The little girl glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, with some cunning in her eyes, and said: "Really, thank me, how can you thank me?"
The waiter at the front desk heard the conversation between the two and said to Ma Xiaoquan with a smile: "Ma San, you are in such a miserable condition. The cost of asking Fang Qiaoer to help is not small. We have all suffered~"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
The confused look on Ma Xiaoquan's face was really cute, which made all the waiters in the front hall laugh. The little girl named Fang Qiaoer even laughed so hard.
It took a while before someone answered: "Fang Qiao'er is a noble lady from the Heiqing Kingdom. She is here just to have fun. Ma San, I'm afraid you will have to treat Miss Qiao'er to dinner for all your salary this month."
..."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned, and a picture flashed through his mind. It was the identity information of two people he had opened in the room before. Coincidentally, the identities of those two people were the nobles of the Black and Qing Kingdom, and what was even more coincidental was that
Yes, one of them is called "Fang Qiao'er".
"Oops~" Ma Xiaoquan frowned slightly, thinking that this would be troublesome. What if Fang Qiaoer asked about his identity?
"Well, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Fang Qiao'er looked at Ma Xiaoquan and asked.
"No, no, I'm just thinking about it. It's strange. Why do the nobles of the Black and Blue Country come here? It's not as good as the Black and Green Country..."
Fang Qiaoer's eyes dimmed slightly and she stopped talking.
A waiter from the front hall came over, poked Ma Xiaoquan, pulled him aside and said: "Fang Qiaoer's brother is seriously ill. These years, the brother and sister have been running around outside to treat illnesses. Why don't you open any pot?"
A pot?"
Ma Xiaoquan stuck out his tongue and whispered: "How do I know? I'm just here to work."
"Be careful what you say later. Let me see, you should use your salary to treat Fang Qiao'er to a meal. We can't afford to offend her~"
Ma Xiaoquan grabbed the waiter and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are the nobles of the Heiqing Kingdom declining nobles when they come to our place?"
"What kind of declining nobles are they? They are serious and powerful nobles. They are very important in the Heiqing Kingdom."
"Oh~" Ma Xiaoquan nodded and looked sideways at Fang Qiaoer, thinking that this was a bit tricky.
Ma Xiaoquan walked up to Fang Qiao'er and said, "Sister... I really don't know who you are, so I'm sorry, but I'm going to treat you to dinner. I'm sorry~"
Fang Qiaoer came back to her senses, glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, and her first words were: "You are the eldest sister~ Who do you call eldest sister? Am I that old?"
"Haha..." The guys in the front hall all laughed.
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head, pretending to be stupid and said: "That's the eldest lady, okay?"
Fang Qiaoer curled her lips and said, "That's pretty much it. Okay, then tell me, what do you treat me to?"
Ma Xiaoquan touched his pocket, but there was no money in it. He couldn't help but spread his hands and said with a bitter smile: "I just came here and I don't have any wages. Can you pay me first and let me pay the wages? I'll pay you back after the wages are paid."
Fang Qiaoer said: "How can there be someone like you?"
Ma Xiaoquan is also a bachelor: "Then I don't have any money, so you can't detain me to pay for food, right? If you don't want to eat, forget it. Anyway, I remember to owe you a favor~ If I have a chance tomorrow, I'll pay you back.
It’s not too late for you~”
Fang Qiaoer thought for a while and said humbly: "It's not impossible for me to pay, but you just need to sign and write the receipt for me."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly, spread his hands and lied: "I, I'm not very good at writing..."
Fang Qiaoer was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That's even better, I'll just write it and you just have to draw and sign it~"
Ma Xiaoquan knew as soon as he heard that this little girl was trying to play tricks on her, but there was no way. Now that everyone was watching, he couldn't regret it, so he could only continue to pretend to nod: "Okay, then you write~"
Fang Qiaoer asked a waiter at the front desk for some banknotes and wrote a few words on them.
Fang Qiaoer's handwriting was very graceful and pleasing to the eye, but what surprised Ma Xiaoquan was that the words she wrote turned out to be simplified Chinese characters. Yes, yes, they were simplified Chinese characters.
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that after he came to this new place, he thought it was just a small space, but later he learned that there were many countries in this new place, and what surprised him even more was that these countries used
Most of them are Chinese characters, and they are also simplified Chinese characters.
If it weren't for the fact that these people's clothes were still very simple, that all aspects of their lives were still in the feudal society, and that they all spoke Mandarin with a Beijing accent, Ma Xiaoquan would have thought that he had returned to modern times.
"I've written it~ Take a look~" Fang Qiaoer put down the pen and held the written note in front of Ma Xiaofang.
She knew that Ma Xiaoquan was "illiterate", so she said this deliberately.
Ma Xiaoquan also took advantage of the situation and simply took the document, and deliberately held it upside down to read it.
Fang Qiaoer covered her mouth and almost laughed out loud. The waiters in the front hall who were watching the excitement also looked at Ma Xiaoquan with wide eyes. No one said that he had taken the wrong receipt. Everyone watched Ma Xiaoquan's next move tacitly.
.
Sure enough, there are several very unequal conditions written on this document, such as once a slave is a slave forever, and you have to go wherever you are told...
Ma Xiaoquan felt a little angry. Damn it, this girl is very scheming. No, this document cannot be stamped.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan smacked his lips and returned the written note to Fang Qiao'er. He raised his eyebrows in a decent manner and said: "I feel something is wrong. Although I don't know how to read, I can still recognize one or two characters in it."
Yes, what is this 'slavery'? Why is this happening?"
Fang Qiaoer was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, 'slave' means, because I pay, you will be my slave for a day, and you will do whatever I ask you to do, everyone agrees, right?"
?”
Several of the guys in the front hall were literate. After seeing the contents on the receipt, they would definitely not tell the truth. When Fang Qiaoer asked, these guys nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, no problem, you
Just make a bet~"
Ma Xiaoquan was depressed. This was particularly difficult because he was "forced to go to the grave." He had to draw a pledge even if he didn't.
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes and said: "I'll forget about it. We all work in this household, so why don't I write my name and you all will watch. I will definitely not cheat, even though I can't read well."
, but I can write my name~" As he said that, Ma Xiaoquan picked up the brush with his left hand.
A front clerk said: "Idiot, write with your right hand~"
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes at the man and said, "Don't worry about me, I can't write with my right hand~" After that, Ma Xiaoquan used his left hand to sign his name - Ma San - crookedly on the paper.
Fang Qiaoer looked at it and said suspiciously: "Who has this name? You are writing it randomly~ No, I want to find the person in charge to check your identity."
Ma Xiaoquan immediately became nervous when he heard this. If he went to investigate, everything would be revealed.
At this moment, there was a cough from the door, and everyone turned around to see that it was the person in charge.
Fang Qiaoer picked up the receipt, walked up to the person in charge, and said, "You came just in time. Is that person's name Ma San?"
The manager took the receipt and read it again, looked at Ma Xiaoquan with raised eyebrows, nodded and said: "Yes, the new worker in my household is not very literate~"
"Does it really have to be called Ma San?"
"Of course, a relative of a friend of mine just came here, and his household registration has been transferred to me. I checked it myself. How can there be any mistakes?"
"Oh~" Fang Qiaoer put away the receipt and glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, "Okay, you came just in time. You have also read the receipt. That Ma San, please don't cheat~"
The person in charge laughed and said, "This is your freedom, Miss Fang. You can do whatever you want, just don't kill anyone~"
"Know~"
The steward put away his smile and asked in a low voice: "How is Master Fang's condition? I have been helping Master Fang seek medicine. I hope that the eldest lady will have more kind words for me when she returns home~" The steward
As the man spoke, he glanced at Fang Qiaoer's rising and falling chest out of the corner of his eye.
Fang Qiaoer didn't know how lustful the person in charge was. She snorted in disgust, turned around, walked to Ma Xiaoquan, patted him, and said: "Follow me, today you will be my slave~"
