Chapter 120 Incense Shop: Buying a Servant
Think left and right.
Kou Qiqi decided to buy a farm in the suburbs of Beijing and settle down there before making other plans.
When she left the palace.
Not only did she take the host's savings of 300 taels, but Concubine Li also gave her 1,000 taels of silver just in case.
Plus the Jiang family’s inheritance.
There are more than 30,000 taels of silver notes.
Converted into modern currency, it is a huge sum of almost two to three million.
There is also the Shu family's ancestral incense recipe, which is priceless.
With these, Kou Qiqi believed that even if there were ten buns, let alone two, they could be raised in ancient times.
In fact, even if you are penniless.
Kou Qiqi can also take out ordinary resources from the space to feed them.
As long as it's not out of date, it's fine.
but.
She couldn't stay in this time and space forever. Before leaving, she had to find a way to entrust them to reliable people to raise them.
Although he has a huge sum of money.
Kou Qiqi wasn't worried, as dead objects could be placed directly into the space. But she had to be careful with her actions.
Kou Qiqi took two buns and changed to another inn.
Then, he found a matchmaker and prepared to buy a house of servants and a wet nurse.
Kou Qiqi was no stranger to this Zhao Yapo, as it was she who sold the host to the Marquis' Mansion.
With Zhao Yapo's sharp eyes, of course she couldn't recognize Kou Qiqi's disguise.
This mask is produced by a plane merchant and is commonly used in the secular world.
Zhao Yapo has a good reputation in this industry.
Two days later, she brought her family to the inn.
The couple are in their forties. The man is honest and strong, his wife is a good cook, and they have a little son who is fifteen years old and very smart.
The reason why it can't be sold.
This is because they brought with them a daughter who had just given birth and two four-year-old twin granddaughters.
They also want to sell the whole family to one place.
Kou Qiqi asked in detail.
It turned out that this family was convicted because their master had committed a crime, and all the women and servants became government slaves.
Official slaves could only be bought and sold, not redeemed.
It was because Kou Qiqi needed to find a wet nurse that Zhao Yapo brought this family here.
Kou Qiqi simply bought the entire family.
Just right for use.
She knew from the host's memory that Zhao Yapo was more reliable and it was worthwhile for her to come all the way to buy someone from her.
"Your surname is Zhao too?"
The man's name is Zhao Hu, his son's name is Zhao Lin, and his daughter's name is Zhao Tao.
"Madam, the Zhao Hu family and I are from the same village. If they hadn't been confiscated as government slaves, we would have redeemed ourselves and returned home long ago."
Mrs. Zhao said a lot.
The stories in it are enough to write a book.
Kou Qiqi looked at the twins carefully again and compared them with their indentures.
"That's not right, these two children..."
"thump……"
Before Kou Qiqi finished asking the question, Zhao Hu and his family all knelt down.
Zhao Hujia cried and begged, "Madam, please be kind and take them in!"
then.
The maidservant, with tears in her eyes, told another touching story.
It was nothing more than that the master's family was plotted against by villains, all the male members were exiled, and the female members were all enslaved by the government.
The twins were almost sold into prostitution.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhao was kind-hearted and bought them away.
But the matchmaker is not a bodhisattva, so of course she has to sell it. But it is so small, who would buy it except for those dirty places?
Kou Qiqi observed silently.
The two children knelt on the ground, imitating the adults. Their faces were haggard, and their black and white eyes shone with hope.
Kou Qiqi sighed secretly.
If no one wants to buy such young children, I guess even if Zhao Yapo doesn't sell them to brothels, she will eventually sell them to the music school!
Ugh!
Anyway, she already has enough troubles now, so she's not afraid of getting into one more.
suddenly.
Kou Qiqi felt that the halo above her head was not only a sign of entrusting an orphan to someone, but also a halo that would attract trouble.
The prince sneaked across the border and held the recipe for exterminating the clan.
He also took in the criminals.
No matter which one of them, in such feudal ancient times, if you are not careful, you may lose your head!
Finally, Kou Qiqi asked Zhao Yapo to go to the government office to get a red deed, officially buying Zhao Hu's family and the twin children.
She did not ask Zhao Hu's family to change their name, but just treated the twins as members of the Zhao family.
The older one is called Zhao Jing and the younger one is called Zhao Xin. These are their original names, just with the surname Zhao added.
Kou Qiqi has no requirements for the names of his servants and is very open-minded.
Zhao Hu's family was moved to tears by gratitude.
Later, when I asked about Zhao Tao's husband, I found out that he was originally a personal servant of the young master.
Accompanying the master in exile to the northwest, a loyal servant!
It's a pity that it's for someone else's family.
Kou Qiqi sighed.
She is a soul from a land of equality, and without that kind of servanthood, she must remain loyal to her consciousness for her entire life.
Just treat them as long-term employees.
In fact, Kou Qiqi believes that people's hearts are fickle.
Rather than waiting until betrayal and suffering heavy losses, it is better not to let the other person know the most important secret from the beginning.
As long as they did what she asked them to do and didn't ask any questions, she would be fine.
If you plant flowers intentionally, they will fail, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hu's family's gratitude and loyalty continued to increase.
Then she asked Zhao Hu to buy a farm in the suburbs of Beijing and wrote down an address.
Needless to say, the location must be not far from the dowry farm of Weiyuan Hou's wife, which is convenient for secret contact in the future.
Zhoujiazhuang, located in the suburbs of Beijing, is on the edge of Wenquan Mountain.
The wife of Marquis Weiyuan, Zhao, is of the same clan as Duke Zhao. Her brother once served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but he has been stationed outside the capital in recent years.
Many of the farmlands near Zhoujiazhuang are owned by high-ranking officials in Beijing.
It’s not easy to buy property here.
Kou Qiqi also knew this truth. If she couldn't buy the farm, she could rent one. She just wanted to inquire about the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
What she didn't expect was.
Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion learned that the little prince had left the palace much earlier than she had imagined.
On this day, a group of people came to a village in Zhoujiazhuang.
"Hey, Master Jiu, why are you here?"
The head of the village welcomed Master Li Jiu in with a look of surprise.
Although Master Li Jiu is from a side branch, he is highly valued by the Marquis and is in charge of the general affairs of the entire Marquis's mansion.
Mr. Li Jiu came here mainly to convey an important event in the Marquis' Mansion.
The Crown Prince's wife just gave birth to twins last night, but because they were premature and twins, the babies were not in good health.
To pray for the grandson of the Marquis.
All properties under the name of the Marquis' Mansion must be used to pray for blessings and do good deeds.
Especially when encountering orphans and widows, we should not only provide them with relief, but also take them in if possible to help them through the winter.
If you have a newborn baby, be sure to report it.
Because the Marquis's wife went to Puji Temple and asked a senior monk to tell her fortune. If the horoscope is suitable, she can be a study companion for the young masters.
Therefore, the Marquis' Mansion is now busy with this important matter.
Mr. Li Jiu happened to be out on business and passed by Zhoujiazhuang, so he stopped by to give the notice.
When Mr. Li Jiu was returning, he happened to meet the carriage of Kou Qiqi and his group.
Seeing the carriage from Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, Kou Qiqi naturally paid more attention.
She asked Zhao Lin to go to the Marquis's manor to inquire about the news.
The Marquis' Mansion had no intention of hiding the truth, and they soon found out.
After hearing the news, Kou Qiqi didn't know what expression to have.
It is clear!
This is to clean up the mess for the little prince!
Kou Qiqi was not worried about the little prince, but was worried that the host would be killed by the Marquis's Mansion.
Now it seems that I was too worried!
Kou Qiqi thought about it.
She is not alone now, so she should be prepared just in case.
