Chapter 19: The Maidservant (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
(Khan, there are so few recommended votes, and the code word is not motivated, so brothers support the smashing of votes!) )
Qiao'er held the tray in her hand, held it high above her head, squatted down to salute, and said delicately: "The slave has seen the master." ”
Under Huang Qing's repeated instructions, Li Zhongyi reluctantly took the tray and opened it to see that in addition to a deed of sale stamped with the red seal of the government, there was also a real estate deed with a red seal.
"Huang Gong, such a generous gift, I will definitely not accept it in my later life." Li Zhongyi was reluctant to accept Qiao'er, how could he accept the property of this dead eunuch again.
"Brother, are you looking down on my identity?" Huang Qing glared and questioned Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that the beautiful maid and the real estate were just Huang Qing's temptations, if he didn't know what to do, he would inevitably be looked down upon by Huang Qing, and endless calculations would inevitably follow.
"Huang Gong, no matter what, this property must not be accepted for late birth." Li Zhongyi categorically rejected Huang Qing's "kindness".
In the end, after a period of pushing back and forth, Li Zhongyi finally only accepted the 100 copper coins given by Huang Qing.
Since Li Zhongyi knew each other very well and accepted the woman and money, it was obvious that he wanted to continue his deep relationship.
According to Huang Qing's own understanding, if he has a short hand, presumably Li Zhongyi will gain power in the future, at least he will not secretly stumble on him, right?
After praising each other for a while, Huang Qing left the main hall with the remaining three maids, and Li Zhongyi politely sent them to the main entrance.
When Li Zhongyi returned to the hall, he saw Peony standing side by side with Qiao'er, waiting for his return.
Regarding the peony that tends to be inflammatory, and has always wanted to go back to the main investment, Li Zhongyi can't have no opinion.
Now, the feng shui has turned, and Li Zhongyi has turned over and really become the master, so naturally he will not let go of this with a belly full of ghosts.
"Prepare hot water." Li Zhongyi deliberately turned a blind eye to the peony and ordered the new Qiao'er.
A hint of joy flashed on Qiao'er's delicate face, and she said crisply: "The servant takes the order." Standing up with a white and tender chest, he glanced at the gray peony, and his heart couldn't help but be happy.
Peony saw Qiao'er deliberately grimacing at her before going out, and she couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart, and hung her head lower in frustration.
Li Zhongyi pretended not to see the secret battle between the two maids, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and leisurely considered the next operation plan.
There is no intimate person around him, which is the biggest problem Li Zhongyi is currently facing. Although Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu have always cooperated tacitly, these two people have errands on their bodies, and it is impossible to stay by his side all day.
Although he is now out of the most dangerous time, Li Zhongyi knows in his heart that Meng Chang is not completely at ease with him, otherwise, he would not be "protected" in the square inch of this post house.
Li Hongzhang has a famous saying that says it very well: If you don't need people to be relatives, do you still need to use people to be sparse?
It is unrealistic to ask everyone around you to be loyal, but there must always be a few loyal people to help do something intimate, right?
Li Zhongyi pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, time and opportunity are indispensable.
"Master, hot water is ready." At the moment when Li Zhongyi put down the teacup, Qiao'er's delicate and pleasant voice sounded in his ears.
Li Zhongyi got up with a smile and ordered, "Lead the way ahead." ”
"Whoa." Qiao'er responded in a coquettish voice, happily leading the way ahead.
Peony, who had been hanging aside, felt that Qiao'er's full chest stood taller and taller, obviously demonstrating to her in secret, her pretty face couldn't help but flush, and the roots of her teeth itched with hatred.
Li Zhongyi didn't bother to pay attention to the secret fighting between the two female slaves, and under the guidance of Qiao'er, he entered the inner room where he bathed.
After passing through the screen, Li Zhongyi vaguely saw a huge wooden barrel, and bursts of mist rose from the barrel, and the warmth hit people.
At this time, a pair of white and tender little hands reached Li Zhongyi's waist and untied his belt tremblingly.
Li Zhongyi looked down, but saw Qiao'er hanging her head deeply, and the jade earrings hanging from her delicate little ears were shaking a little exaggerated.
The beautiful maid sent by Huang Qing, after all, has not gone through personnel, and is obviously a little scared and nervous.
Although Li Dahe's official position is not high, the Li family is the home of the official eunuch after all, and the rules of slaves and maids serving the master's bathing are not as exaggerated as those of the high-ranking families, but they also have their own set of laws.
Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that Huang Qing's purpose in sending Qiao'er was to put eyeliner on his side.
For Qiao'er, Li Zhongyi can spoil her on the surface, but he will inevitably doubt her loyalty.
Because of his scruples, Li Zhongyi, who has not been fishy for more than half a year, even if he is itchy in his heart, it is impossible to take it lightly.
Under Qiao'er's waiting, Li Zhongyi's coat, middle coat and ** were taken off one by one.
When Li Zhongyi stood naked in front of him, Qiao'er lowered her head shyly, her delicate body trembled so badly that she didn't dare to raise her head again.
What a shy little woman!
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Zhongyi walked over and stepped into the bathtub. Under the stimulation of the warm current, all the pores on his body were stretched, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath, comfortable!
After soaking in the bathtub for a while, Li Zhongyi never saw Qiao'er come over to help, so he called softly: "Come and help me wash my hair." ”
"Oh...... ......Qiao'er woke up like a dream, and hurriedly ran over, helped Li Zhongyi spread his bun, scooped water to wet his head, and then picked up the pig Ling by the bucket, wiped it on the length, and slowly scrubbed it.
"Qiao'er, how old are you this year?" Li Zhongyi leaned on the edge of the barrel on his back, stretched his hands and feet comfortably, and talked to Qiao'er.
"If you go back to your master, the slave and maid have just turned seventeen this year." Qiao'er's hand paused slightly on Li Zhongyi's head, and then answered the question in a whisper.
Li Zhongyi only didn't know about Qiao'er's somewhat deformed movements, and then asked: "What books have you read?" ”
Li Zhongyi just asked casually, but he didn't want Qiao'er to think for a while before replying: "The slave maid has read the female ring." ”
Well, this little woman must not be telling the truth, Li Zhongyi continued to ask her with questions: "What relatives are there at home?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's all gone......" Qiao'er paused for a while before muttering a response.
"Oh, that's weird and pathetic." Li Zhongyi felt that Qiao'er's love was very low, and he couldn't help but comfort her with Wen Yan, "In my place, I won't let you be wronged in vain." ”
"Whoa." Qiao'er's voice was low, obviously not believing in Li Zhongyi's promise.
After bathing, Li Zhongyi changed into new clothes, walked out of the room, and looked up to see Peony standing quietly by the door, she lowered her head, and she couldn't see her facial expression clearly.
Li Zhongyi had the intention to hang her, and went straight past her side and towards the inner courtyard where Aunt Xue lived.
Qiao'er glanced at Peony, pursed her red lips disdainfully, and deliberately raised her towering breasts, obviously demonstrating.
Peony was very angry in her heart, but she couldn't say it, who made her not take Li Zhongyi, the master, in her eyes before?
After hesitating for a moment, Peony finally raised her leg to keep up with Qiao'er's footsteps. Peony secretly decided that before Li Zhongyi got completely tired of her, she must try her best to win the favor of her master in order to avoid the doom of being sold into a dirty place.
When eating dinner, Li Zhongyi drove out the bottle, Qiao'er and peony that were waiting on the side, he personally filled a small bowl of rice and held it to Aunt Xue's hand with both hands, "Auntie, let's eat." ”
Aunt Xue stared at the rice bowl handed by Li Zhongyi, and the crystal tears couldn't help but flow, and she choked up and said, "Okay, let's eat together." ”
Li Zhongyi kept picking up vegetables for Aunt Xue, Aunt Xue had tears in her eyes, and her son put a chopstick dish into the bowl, and she ate it as soon as possible, and it was very fragrant.
After the meal, with Li Zhongyi's call, Qiao'er brought mouthwash tea, bottles of face wash, peony held snow-white towels, and three pretty girls stood on both sides with sweet smiles.
After washing his hands and wiping his face, Li Zhongyi took the tea cup handed by Qiao'er and sat comfortably beside Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue looked at the bottle, then at the peony, she frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Peony, you go down first." ”
With a brush, Peony's face turned pale, and her delicate body was like a small leaf in the wind, swaying back and forth.
Li Zhongyi paused for a moment, and then relieved, with Aunt Xue's attention to him, how could he not know the various expressions of peony's previous half-heartedness.
Seeing that the peony didn't move, the bottle couldn't help but stand up and shouted: "Peony, what are you doing?" Why don't you step down? ”
Peony lowered her head, with a crying voice, and said, "Oh." He bowed, turned and retreated, tears spilling down his chest, wetting large pieces of his shirt.
After driving away the peony, Aunt Xue looked at Qiao'er with a pleasant face and asked her, "What's your name?" ”
Qiao'er obediently squatted down and made a blessing ceremony, and replied crisply: "If you return to Mrs., the slave is called Qiao'er." ”
"Qiao'er......" Aunt Xue's eyes circled around the charming Qiao'er, and said lightly, "According to the rules of the house, I should change your name for you." ”
"Please give me a name." Before Qiao'er was put into Huang Qing's hands, her name had been changed several times, and she already had relevant experience.
Seeing Aunt Xue looking at him with a smile, Li Zhongyi understood that since Qiao'er was sent by Huang Qing to serve him, the work of changing the name should be undertaken by him.
"Let's call it Qiao'er." Li Zhongyi put down the tea cup in his hand, but what he was thinking about was the tragic heroine in "The White-Haired Girl" - Qiao'er.
"Qiao'er? Well, it sounds festive. Aunt Xue didn't think too much, she thought that the family was in trouble, and Li Zhongyi just wanted to get a good mouthpiece.
"Da Lang, the peony is not useful, why don't you let the bottle serve you? As for, Qiao'er, I'll give it back to you for a while, how about it? Aunt Xue glanced at the bottle that had been very marked, turned her head to look at Li Zhongyi, and put forward her opinion with a smile.
Li Zhongyi thought about it and felt that Aunt Xue's opinion was very good, he was still worried just now, and there was no reliable intimate person around him.
As far as Li Zhongyi knows, Bottler has been following Aunt Xue since she entered the Li family. What's more, not long ago, in the catastrophe experienced by the Li family, the bottle was not afraid of danger, and actually had the courage to question the main mother Cao and Erlang Li Zhonghao, whose heart of protecting the lord is extremely rare.
"A-Niang has ordered, and the child has no disobedience." Li Zhongyi nodded without hesitation.
Aunt Xue was very happy to see Li Zhongyi so obedient, she secretly glanced at the bottle, and the bottle seemed to realize something, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.
Li Zhongyijue, Qiao'er, who had changed her name, looked very calm, as if Li Zhongyi's mother and son had decided something completely irrelevant to her.
In fact, Li Zhongyi agrees with Aunt Xue's opinion, and also has the intention of investigating Qiao'er.
In the face of Huang Qing's dead eunuch, even if Li Zhongyi showed Qiao'er's suspicions, it was not easy to deal with it directly.
In other words, putting Qiao'er under Aunt Xue's nose, for Li Zhongyi, it is naturally a great thing to have a pair of outsiders' eyes around him.
