Chapter 016 Girl
It took half a day to finally finish the work in Donghe Village. Lin Zimo, sitting in the sedan chair, has a lot of thoughts. If you hang out with Zhang Chi and others, there is only one way to die. If he draws a clear line with them now, he can't guarantee that he won't die. I know that the two of them are cruel and have no mercy.
Lin Zi thought to himself that he had died once. He really wanted to die again, and there was nothing terrible. However, if he dies, Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu will really suffer. If they really treat themselves as criminal officials, then the two of them will definitely be insulted and trampled, and even have a tragic ending with a pair of jade arms and thousands of pillows.
Although Lin Zimo entered the public door for a short time, there are really few good people who know it. Even if he doesn't plan for himself, he has to leave a way for them. After he came here, Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu have become his relatives. As a man, it is incumbent on him to protect them. Lin Zimo understands that the way to protect himself is to remove Zhang Chi and Li Renjie and make himself the chief official of Pingnan County, otherwise the east window incident will only happen sooner or later.
The group returned to the Pingnan County government, which was very fruitful. Except for the five people who took the lead in making trouble, two beautiful girls and the taxes that should be collected, the five or sixty public officials will not forget to hold hands. Tonight, they made an early appointment to get drunk.
Lin Zimo and Li Renjie who got off the sedan chair came to Zhang Chi to recover. Zhang Chi was satisfied with the efficiency of the two people's poor handling, and verbally praised them well. After the two finished their business, they slowly came out.
Lin Zimo pretended to be worried and asked, "Will we divide these two maids in private? Will it attract the dissatisfaction of the county? It is said that he is also very good at this.
Li Renjie touched his chin and said with a smile, "The news of Master Lin's book is still very well-in-in-the-chief. However, our county doesn't look down on these two rural maids.
Lin Zimo pretended to be suddenly enlightened and poured ecstasy soup into him: "Li Xiancheng is indeed the confidant of the county. In the future, I will rely on your advice. I will do whatever you say."
"The child can be taught." Li Renjie was very sorry for the two girls, so he couldn't wait to walk and smiled.
The two walked side by side and came to Lin Zimo's office room, and under his "operation", they quickly handled the documents of the master-servant relationship between them and the two girls. Li Renjie, who picked up a document, showed an urgent expression that the old cow wanted to eat tender grass. He arched his hand and said goodbye to him, and then led one of the girls back home.
The girl's whole body is a little dirty. The clothes made of coarse cloth have been patched in many places and have been torn in several places. She did not dare to raise her head and look directly at Lin Zimo. After all, the recent official incident had caused an indelible memory in her mind.
Lin Zimo's facial expression was peaceful, and he repeatedly asked, "What's your name?" What's the year?"
She felt a lot of fear, afraid of angering the old man in front of her, and whispered, "The name of the people's daughter is He Cailian, and she is 27 years old."
"Good name, good age." Lin Zimo picked up the master-servant contract on the table and smiled, "You come back with me."
He didn't do anything, let alone be afraid of her escape. He strode on the road home, and He Cailian followed him closely with small steps. The signal of goodwill released by Lin Zimo did not reduce the fear in her heart. Although she is young and doesn't have much knowledge, she knows that she has been sold as a maidservant. The fear in He Cailian's heart overwhelmed the idea of escape from afar. She felt like meat on the cutting board, which was just slaughtered by others.
Lin Zimo, who asked to open his door, walked in, and He Cailian followed him in. The first reaction of the mother who opened the door was the slave bought by the master. When he walked to the front court and turned around, he found that she was still there, and his heart was speechless for a moment.
Lin Zimo, sitting in the circle chair, said to the mother who followed her, "Take her down to eat first, then let her take a shower and change into clean clothes."
The mother said respectfully, "Master, I know."
She called He Cailian to her side and led her down. Lin Zimo threw the document in his hand on the table and suddenly cared about the fate of the girl taken away by Li Renjie. Thinking of a teenage girl spoiling a 60-year-old bad old man, he felt extremely disgusting just thinking about it.
Yang Mengqi, who was holding a cup of tea in his hands, came to him and said, "Fasal, please use tea."
Lin Zi, who took the tea, said silently, "Don't be so polite. Since you and I are already husband and wife, just be casual. The more respectful we are, the more I feel.
Yang Mengqi, who was taught, nodded his forehead unconsciously and was very happy. His statement showed that she was completely recognized by him, so she sat in another armchair and saw a document placed on the table. Curious, she held it in her hand and looked at it carefully.
"Fare, why spend money? There are enough people at home. Yang Mengqi, who finished reading the document, gently put down.
Lin Zimo said bitterly while drinking tea: "Although this little girl is the slave of our family, I want to give her freedom so that she can return to her family."
Yang Mengqi's eyes lit up and said happily, "Your father-in-law is indeed the heart of a Bodhisattva. The slave family agrees with your approach. She must also be a poor person. She should be about the same age as Hanlu and me, but her fate is completely different.
After Chu Hanlu, who was studying in the study, was told by a talkative old mother that she bought back a slave, she was curious that she threw down the Three-character Classic and trotted to the front hall to see what was going on.
"Where's the newcomer?" Chu Hanlu, who didn't see anyone, looked around.
Lin Zimo saw her innocent and cute little appearance and joked, "What? You also want to be a young lady.
"My mother said that if I marry you, you will have endless blessings. There are cooks and mothers in our family, but there is a lack of maids. Chu Hanlu sat rudely on a chair closest to him. Facing Yang Mengqi, she smiled sweetly and said, "Good sister, let me go first. I want this little maid."
"Is it still a little maid?" Lin Zimo put down the tea in his hand and said, "I think she is a little older than you."
"So what?" Chu Hanlu, who shook her head, pouted disapprovingly and said, "You sleep with your sister almost every night. You don't know how scared it is to sleep alone in the big room?"
Although there were no outsiders here, Lin Zimo still felt embarrassed and deliberately coughed a few times so that she could continue without saying anything. The reason why I don't want to sleep with her is that I always feel guilty. He occasionally went to her place to sleep, either thundering or forced by her to leave.
Chu Hanlu didn't give him any face at all and said, "What I said is the truth. Sister Yang can testify for me.
"Dead girl, what are you saying? Let others hear it, and don't be afraid of people's jokes. Yang Mengqi rolled his eyes and said.
Lin Zimo immediately added, "You are still young. We are not suitable for the same bed, and dream chess is different."
"In the past, when the three of us slept together, why didn't you say that?" Chu Hanlu broke the casserole and asked to the end.
"At that time, didn't we only have one bed?" Lin Zimo explained seriously.
He Cailian, who had a full stomach, bathed and changed into clean clothes, combed a three-pronged bun and was brought back to the front hall by an old mother. Chu Hanlu hurriedly jumped off the chair, with curiosity in her eyes, and looked around her in a circle.
Lin Zimo motioned to let her mother go down to do her own work, and then said slowly, "She is not the same as you, with a pair of eyes, a nose, a mouth and a pair of ears..."
Chu Hanlu, who didn't see any clue, walked to Yang Mengqi and shook her left arm and said, "Good sister, just let her be the maid in my room!"
Yang Mengqi patted her on the back of her hand and said, "Don't mess around. We all listen to our father-in-law."
After she calmed down, Lin Zimo said lightly, "This is your deed of sale. You can take it back."
He Cailian, who had just eaten big white steamed bread, was really reluctant to leave and stood still without saying a word.
Yang Mengqi said kindly, "Don't be too careful. We really want you to go. If you can't find your way home, I will send you back. We don't need a maid in our family for the time being.
Chu Hanlu, who was anxious, quickly interrupted: "Yes, very much. Our family needs a maid very much."
Yang Mengqi immediately pulled her back and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. The master and I have the final say in this family.
He Cailian, who was really moved, knelt down on her knees, kowtowed hard and cried, "The great kindness of the master and lady, I will never forget."
Yang Mengqi, who got up, came forward to help her up and asked Chu Hanlu to bring the documents on the table. Although Chu Hanlu was unwilling, she had to do it obediently after seeing Lin Zimo's expressionless face.
Yang Mengqi handed over the selling document to He Cailian and said, "Go home!"
She, who took the deed of sale, once again knelt down and kowtowed to the three people and left the Lin family moved.
