Chapter 24 024. Storybook
Bai Suihe also got the news and guessed that Xu Yulan might be pretending to be sick.
He chuckled and said, "It's a pity that I can protect you for a while, but not for a lifetime."
Dongmei didn't understand why the lady said that, and her hands kept moving.
The young lady asked them to make cotton coats and trousers today. They looked very warm, but the styles were a bit strange.
"Dongmei and Chunxiang are almost of marriageable age. Have they found love?" Bai Suihe asked thoughtfully.
"Miss, I am willing to serve you forever," Chunxiang looked up at Bai Suihe and said seriously.
"Silly girl, how can you stay by my side forever?" Bai Suihe wanted to arrange everything for them in the next few days. "You and Dongmei grew up with me. Although we are master and servant, I treat you as sisters and hope you have a good future.
Your two families have helped me a lot, and I want to return your indentures so that you can return home and buy some good farmland and live a good life."
"Miss, what's wrong between Chunxiang and me?" Dongmei and Chunxiang immediately put down their work and stood there nervously.
"You two are good people, and your families are loyal," Bai Suihe said sincerely, "That's why I want you to have a good future.
Do you want your children to be slaves like you in the future?"
Dongmei and Chunxiang were silent. They could be loyal to the young lady, but they could not represent the entire family.
Who would have thought that his descendants would be slaves for generations? If this news got back to his family, I don’t know how happy they would be.
"You can't make the decision on this matter, so find someone to send a message back and let your family make the decision.
Of course, the young lady will not treat you unfairly, and will prepare a dowry for you when you leave."
"Miss, even if my parents agree, I can still serve you." Dongmei said immediately, "Miss, you can help me arrange a marriage, and I will be your housekeeper in the future."
"I can do the same," Chunxiang said quickly, "I can also be the young lady's housekeeper."
Bai Suihe sighed. The looks of these two girls couldn't lie. They really made such a decision.
However, the book does not give detailed information about the whereabouts of these maids and women. It only describes that they were all sold again by the government.
"I've had a bad feeling these days, otherwise I wouldn't have left the house to make those preparations.
I just wanted to make arrangements for you first, so that I could put my mind at ease." Bai Suihe could only reveal a little, "If the Gu family is really in trouble, I might need your help in the future."
Dongmei and Chunxiang looked at each other, "Miss, could this be an illusion?"
"Your son-in-law came back in a hurry this time and told me his guess," Bai Suihe once again pulled out the scapegoat, "You also know that after he returned home, we chatted for a while."
Chunxiang's face looked grim. These maids were well-informed. Every time someone went to the capital, their property would be confiscated and they would be exiled. Mr. Gu was the Minister of War and a close minister to the emperor.
As the saying goes, serving the king is like serving a tiger. Won’t it really bring disaster to the family?
"But Miss, you are still pregnant, so we can't leave."
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to make the decision when the time comes. Do you still want to be wiped out?"
"We'll follow the young lady's arrangements," the two thought of this possibility and decided not to go back to discuss it with their families. They were not going to leave Shangjing at that time. If it was really as the young lady said, they would have to find a way to deal with it.
"That's right," Bai Suihe felt that she couldn't delay it any longer. She and Gu Kaiyuan could be reborn, but she didn't know if there would be any more accidents in between.
The master and his two servants talked for a while, and then Gu Kaiyuan came back.
Dongmei and Chunxiang immediately led the other maids out of the room, leaving the space for the couple. Bai Suihe looked at the books in his hands. Although they were in traditional Chinese characters, she recognized them. The rich young lady relied on me, and the poor scholar's road to the imperial examination was filled with beautiful women.
Gu Kaiyuan saw his wife staring at the books in his hands with an embarrassed expression. He grabbed a few books at random, but because he was thinking about something, he didn't expect to bring them back.
"So my husband likes to read this kind of books," Bai Suihe looked at Gu Kaiyuan meaningfully. This hobby is really special.
"I'm bringing this for someone else," Gu Kaiyuan casually threw the book on the table, "I'll ask Lin Wei to deliver it later."
"Then your 'friend' has really good taste," Bai Suihe personally poured him a cup of tea, and told Dongmei to go to the kitchen to order the food. Since Gu Kaiyuan was there today, he asked the kitchen to send more.
"What are you doing?" Gu Kaiyuan walked over to look at the piles of cotton and cloth, "Making cotton clothes?" It's just that the shape is a little ugly.
"It's better to be prepared. It's autumn now, and I'm afraid we can't withstand the low temperature." Bai Suihe looked at the storybooks from time to time, thinking about reading them tonight to see what the ancient storybooks were like.
Gu Kaiyuan saw through her thoughts and quickly put a few books in order. "I'll ask Lin Wei to take them over."
It’s better not to let these romantic books harm your wife or corrupt your children.
Before Bai Suihe Erkang could withdraw his hand, Gu Kaiyuan had already disappeared from his sight.
"Ah, the night is long and hard to endure..."
Gu Kaiyuan stumbled out of the courtyard. What kind of vicious words were these?
It's only been a few days since he left, is Bai so bold?
Find Lin Wei and say, "Hurry up and deal with these books."
"Third Young Master, how do we handle this?"
"You can do whatever you want with it, even give it to someone else and burn it." Gu Kaiyuan left without looking back.
Lin Wei, holding three storybooks, scratched his head. What happened to his master?
If I'm not mistaken, these three books are bestsellers in the bookstore and have earned the master a lot of money.
It would be a pity to burn it, so he decided to keep it for now, just in case his master remembers it one day.
Bai Suihe looked at him coming in empty-handed with a look of regret on his face. He didn't expect that today's entertainment would disappear just like that. That might be his next spiritual food.
"The book has been sent away," Gu Kaiyuan said with an awkward smile. It seemed that he had neglected his wife for a long time. "I will accompany my wife tonight..."
Bai Suihe, "..."
The two looked at each other and then looked away awkwardly in an instant.
Bai Suihe, although he doesn't mind developing a relationship, this is progressing too fast.
Gu Kaiyuan, although this is his wife, they haven't seen each other for many years, and there is a sense of strangeness between them.
"Daddy, Mommy, and me, and me."
As soon as this voice came out, Bai Suihe breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed his caring little cotton-padded jacket, and he was really good at seizing opportunities.
"Baby is awake," Bai Suihe stroked her belly and soothed her, "Daddy and mommy will be with you."
Gu Kaiyuan's eyes were red at this moment. This was his unborn child, whom he missed in his previous life. In this life, he would protect the safety of the mother and daughter no matter what.
