Chapter 176 Little Thing
Su Wan looked at her delicate face, which was full of sincerity and a bit anxious, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't choose her. Her eyes were misting little by little, making her look pitiful.
"You eat so little, do you have the strength to work?" Su Wan thought of Gu Baozhu. When she had just traveled through time, Gu Baozhu also said that she ate little and would work hard to earn money for her to spend. "You should eat more so that you can serve others better."
Xiaoyue opened her eyes wide, and before she could recover, she saw Su Wan leaving. Annoyance flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head.
Her family was poor and her parents favored boys over girls. They disliked her eating too much and sold her.
No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure out why the owner would dislike her for not eating enough.
Su Wan walked over and looked at the next person. He was a thin boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with smart-looking eyes.
Seeing Su Wan standing in front of him, he grinned and said, "Madam, the younger one is called Chu Yi. He can do all the dirty work. The most important thing is to be loyal and never betray the Lord."
Su Wan smiled and picked another steady and dignified woman, her name was Cui Lan.
"Xiaoyue takes care of the third young lady, Chuyi takes care of the second young master, and Cuilan takes care of the old lady. You do your best, and I will not treat you badly. When the time comes to get you married, I will prepare a dowry and betrothal gift."
Xiaoyue and Chuyi couldn't believe it. They almost jumped up and picked them!
"Madam, we will definitely take good care of the master!" All three people knelt down and kowtowed.
Su Wan picked two more older ones to be responsible for the washing work.
At this time, Xiaotao came back with a few people.
They placed their own vegetarian dishes in front of Su Wan one by one.
Xiao Tao handed Su Wan the bowl and chopsticks.
Su Wan tasted each dish and raised her eyebrows. They all tasted pretty good.
Mrs. Cao observed Su Wan's expression from the side, and praised: "They all learned to cook from others, and they all passed the test with me before they were selected and sent to you."
Su Wan put down her chopsticks and took a sip of tea to rinse her mouth: "All three of you stay."
Mrs. Cao smiled from ear to ear: "Madam, do you still want to choose?"
"No need." Su Wan selected twelve in total: "Calculate how much money you have."
"Madam, the people I picked are all good-looking, hard-working, can do any job, and have special skills. The price is a little higher than others. A few of them cost fifteen taels of silver each." Mrs. Cao gestured with her fingers. There are three people who are good at cooking, and Xiaoyue's ones. With a smile on her face, she said: "The remaining people will each receive seven taels of silver."
Su Wan looked at Xiaotao.
Xiao Tao whispered: "Miss, this is the number."
"Give me the money." Su Wan stood up and told Xiao Tao: "You put them in the servant's room today, and we'll do the rest tomorrow."
"Okay." Xiao Tao asked Mrs. Cao to wait while she went back to the main courtyard to get the silver.
Su Wan finished one thing and walked quickly outside the house.
The carriage has been hitched, and Gu Huaizhi is waiting at the door of the house.
Su Wan saw him and asked, "I bought a dozen servants, do you want someone to take care of them?"
"I have." Gu Huaizhi got on the carriage first, stood on the shaft, and stretched out his hand towards Su Wan.
Su Wan put her hand on his palm, and Gu Huaizhi held it, pulled her up, and opened the curtain to let her in.
Su Wan felt that after returning to the capital, Gu Huaizhi became more and more considerate and treated her a lot more intimately.
"What's wrong?" Gu Huaizhi looked with clear eyes.
Su Wan suddenly pursed her lips and smiled. Under his gaze, she sat next to Gu Huaizhi and said, "I'm a little tired. I want to lie down and think about how to tell the regent later."
"You take a nap, I'll call you when we get there."
"Okay." Su Wan pointed to his legs: "I want to sleep here."
Su Wan knew what she meant, she liked Gu Huaizhi. Gu Huaizhi also admitted that he liked her, not only held her to sleep, but also kissed her. The two of them were husband and wife, so Su Wan had to exercise her rights.
She was too surprised before and was confused by Gu Huaizhi. Now that she is awake, Su Wan has no reason to be timid.
Gu Huaizhi's eyes dimmed and before he could react, Su Wan took his hand away from his knees and lay down on his side, facing his abdomen. His whole body froze.
Su Wan rubbed her head and found a comfortable sleeping position.
"Don't move." Gu Huaizhi put his hand on the back of her head.
"Oh, don't hold my head." Su Wan shook her head uncomfortably, boldly wrapped her hands around his waist, and pressed her face against his abdomen. A light cold fragrance entered her nose, which made Su Wan feel very uncomfortable. It smells so good, I couldn't help but smell it.
Gu Huaizhi's breathing became disordered, and he let go of his hand, his voice hoarse: "Sleep well."
Su Wan smiled, it was good to sleep like this.
Not only did they not let go, but they hugged her tighter.
Gu Huaizhi leaned against the car wall helplessly, took out a thin blanket from the car wall and covered her body.
Su Wan's mouth curved.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Prince Regent's Palace.
Mo Yuan knocked on the door.
The doorman was surprised when he saw the sleepy Su Wan and quickly let him in.
Su Wan touched the back of her neck, feeling a little stiff and sore, and went to the main hospital sleepily. I'm probably not quite sober, and the tension has faded a little. Until he stood at the door, Su Wan saw the regent standing under a leafy loquat tree in the yard, with his wide ink sleeves embroidered with delicate and complicated embroidery hanging to the ground.
A sentence from "Xiang Ji Xuan Zhi" instantly came to her mind: There is a loquat tree in the courtyard. My wife planted it when she died. Now it is as tall as a canopy.
Su Wan felt uncomfortable and couldn't move her feet.
Gu Huaizhi whispered: "This loquat tree was planted by my mother-in-law."
Luo Cheng came quietly behind them. When he heard this sentence, he responded: "Your mother likes to eat loquats, so she planted them with the master. After the loquat trees grow up. The master also said that when she comes to the house, she will It will bear fruit.”
That year, the loquat tree bloomed for the first time, bearing abundant fruits. Qi Min, dressed in red makeup, entered the Su family's door.
I have never eaten loquat fruit once.
Su Wan squeezed the purse in her hand, and she didn't know how to express the words she had been brewing for a long time.
The regent looked sideways and saw Su Wan. His eyebrows were furrowed, his stern face was tense, and the aura exuding from his body seemed to say, "Why are you here again?"
Out of sight and out of mind, he walked up to the house.
"Wait!" Su Wan quickly caught up.
Gu Huaizhi called Luo Cheng: "Go to the front hall."
Luo Cheng was afraid that Gu Huaizhi was in a hurry, so he followed him to the front hall.
Su Wan and the regent were the only ones left in the courtyard.
Apart from Qi Min, only Su Wan was lucky enough to enjoy the regent's patience.
"explain!"
The Prince Regent somehow managed to attract such an annoying little thing.
Just seeing her gives me a headache.
Su Wan saw that his face was as dark as water and his patience was exhausted. He tightened the purse in his hand. Maybe this thing could give him a try and prevent him from going to Xiliang Kingdom.
"Take a look." Su Wan handed over his hand.
The regent glanced coldly without touching him.
Su Wan pursed her lips and said, "The Qi family found it."
The regent then deigned to condescend, picked up the purse, opened it, and poured the contents into the palm of his hand. When he saw that it was a puppet, his eyes were dark, until he saw the words "Ji Lingzhao", his heart trembled.
