Chapter 544: Be a concubine for the Qi family?

Chapter 544 Become a concubine to the Qi family?

Gu Jinli smiled: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm not here to return the goods, I'm here to make a deal with you."

She has seen and checked the pulses of all the people she bought yesterday. No one is seriously ill, but they are very weak.

Aunt Lu's eyes lit up, she came over with a smile and asked, "Auntie, you look like a lucky person. Are you here to do some profitable business? Tell me quickly."

Gu Jinli took out a booklet that recorded the details of Sister Li and other twenty children, as well as the documents stating that they voluntarily sold themselves into slavery, and handed it to Aunt Lu: "I bought twenty children who escaped from famine, and I would like to ask Aunt for help. Come on, take them into Guanya first, and then help them go to Fucheng Yamen to exchange for red deeds."

After speaking, he took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Aunt Lu.

The silver was so white that it was dazzling. Aunt Lu was very excited when she looked at the silver, but she still took the receipt and read the booklet first, then raised her head and asked Qiu Lang: "Are those children your companions?"

Helping to go to Guan Ya and go to the Yamen to handle the red deed, Aunt Lu and the others have done a lot. This is not difficult and can be done easily.

Qiu Lang nodded: "Yes, they are too young. After we sold ourselves as slaves, they were bullied in the west of the city. We didn't dare to leave them in the west of the city anymore. After discussion, the big guys decided to sell themselves together to the young master's house. "

"West of the city?" Aunt Lu asked in surprise: "Are the people who bully them Ma Shisan's group?"

Aunt Lu was a member of the public. She found out not long after Ma Shisan and his group were arrested. She went to listen to the gossip for half an hour and just came back.

Qiu Lang nodded: "It was Ma Shisan and the others. When these evil people bullied Ah Pian and the others, the young master happened to bump into them. The young master of the Qin family knew the adults of the Fucheng Yamen, and the police reported that Ma Shisan and the others were arrested."

"What?!" Aunt Lu stood up in shock, looked at Qin Sanlang and said, "Young man, do you know the adults in Fucheng Yamen?"

Qin Sanlang nodded: "I have met several times with Magistrate Liang, Ding Tongzhi, and Hu Tongpan."

Aunt Lu's smile became more sincere, and she even said to Gu Jinli with a bit of flattery, "Little guest, wait, Auntie will handle it for you. It can be done in half an hour."

After saying that, he took a look at the ten taels of silver, which he wanted but didn't dare to ask for.

Gu Jinli gave her the money directly: "Take your aunt's hard-earned money."

"Hey, Auntie knows that you are a good person. Just wait, Auntie will be back soon." Aunt Lu put the money into her sleeve pocket and called to the young man Guan Ya: "Hurry up and give it to the little guest and Mr. Qin." Tea snacks, aren’t they all blind? They don’t have the ability to see!”

“Here we come.” The official waiter immediately brought the hot tea and cakes and served them carefully.

Gu Jinli winked at Qin Sanlang and said jokingly: "You are already a master."

Qin Sanlang curved the corners of his mouth, picked up the hot tea brought by the waiter, and took a sip. His tea-drinking posture was really like a man's.

Aunt Lu first recorded Sister Li and the others in the official registration book and counted them as official people. After getting twenty deeds of sale, she transferred to the Fucheng Yamen.

She was an official in charge, and she went in and out of the government office in Fucheng every day to buy and sell servants. The officials all knew her, so they quickly applied for a red deed for her, and then recorded the names of Sister Li and others to the government office. on the slave registration book.

Aunt Lu came back with twenty red deeds, and handed the deed paper to Gu Jinli with a smile: "Look at it, little guest, it's all done for you."

Gu Jinli took it and looked at it. After making sure there was nothing wrong, he thanked Aunt Lu, took out his official teeth, went to the bank, exchanged the banknote for eighty taels of cash, and returned the money he had borrowed to Qin Sanlang: "Qin Sanlang Brother, these thirty-six taels are the money I borrowed from you earlier, please keep it." When Qin Sanlang gave her the money, he never thought of asking her to pay it back, but he still accepted it at this moment and said to her: "You need to use it. Come to me again when you have money."

 I'll give you money to spend.

"Yeah." Gu Jinli nodded with a smile, and took everyone to buy some replacement clothes and daily necessities for Sister Li and the others.

 …

 At the Qi family, Mrs. Qi has been waiting for Gu Jinli. She thought, even if the Gu family became prosperous, they were still farmers. How could she, a concubine who had been appointed to deliver posts to them, not be able to catch up with her son?

But she took a nap, got up, and had some tea, and she didn't come to take care of her family until mid-afternoon.

Mrs. Qi finally couldn't bear it anymore and called her personal maid and asked, "Has the Gu family come to the door?"

The eldest maid replied: "Old Madam, the Gu family hasn't arrived yet. I guess something has delayed us."

The maid said this because she wanted Mrs. Qi not to be angry, but how could Mrs. Qi not be angry?

With a clang, he smashed a tea cup and said angrily: "The Gu family has gone too far to bully others. I personally sent a message to invite them, but they didn't come. Clay-legged people are clay-legged people. Even if they become rich, they don't have any rules. They are still so vulgar and shameless. present!"

The eldest maid was frightened when she saw Mrs. Qi was angry. She knew that she could not persuade Mrs. Qi, so she hurriedly asked the little maid to invite Mrs. Chen.

Grandma Chen wins the old lady’s heart the most, and she is the only one who can persuade the old lady.

Not long after, Grandma Chen came over supported by the little maid. When she saw the angry Mrs. Qi, she hurriedly said: "My good lady, what's wrong with you? What is worthy of your anger?"

Mrs. Qi told her about the shame the Gu family had given her: "Look at this family, what kind of vulgar people are they? The second brother still wants to get married to the Gu family, but he was blinded by the money. No girl without any education can even think of entering my Qi family."

Grandma Chen shook her head after hearing this and said to Mrs. Qi: "Miss, you are too anxious. You did not post the post properly. It is normal for the girl not to come."

How can someone immediately post a message and have someone come immediately? Even if you call the servants of the family, you have to wait a while, not to mention that the Gu family is not a servant of the Qi family.

Mrs. Qi also knew that she did not handle things well today, but she did it on purpose, wanting to give the Gu family a kick.

Grandma Chen said again: "If you do this, what will the second master do? The spice business is doing very well. The uncle even wrote back and said that he sent the spices to Shangfeng, and he got a lot of money from Shangfeng. That's a good thing from Feng. The Gu family is beneficial to our Qi family, so it's not easy to break up."

"Of course I know that the Gu family is of use to the Qi family, but no matter how useful it is, I can't exchange it for my direct grandchildren." Old Mrs. Qi covered her heart, feeling extremely painful: "I only have four direct grandchildren. They are all talented people, and they will be given to the ladies of the imperial family in the future, so how can they marry a poor woman from the countryside?"

He scolded Mr. Qi again: "It's all my fault, if he hadn't had this idea, would I have been in such a hurry? I didn't want to break up with the Gu family, I just wanted to give the Gu family a slap in the face, and then go to the Gu family to ask for a girl to marry me." When I was a concubine, the Gu family didn’t dare to take Qiao.”

Grandma Chen was shocked when she heard this. She felt that Mrs. Qi was old and confused. The Gu family was not too poor to afford food. I heard that the parents loved their daughter very much. How could they let their daughter be a concubine for the Qi family?
