"Please, let me stay!"
"I can do anything …"
After Su Qing Yin finished picking people and returned to her seat, something displeasing happened again. She raised her head to look at Qi Mo Xuan, but he remained expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
Is this the prince of the prince's mansion? Su Qing Jiu cursed in his heart. She didn't want to interfere in the matter of the Duke's Mansion at all. Those people had no relationship with her at all, and she would do as she pleased, because that would be too easy to provoke.
"What's going on?" Su Qing Jiu walked over and asked.
A young man and a youth around the same age as her were tearing each other up. The youth's clothes were somewhat messy and his face was slightly yellow. He was probably the child of a poor family member.
"Who are you? "Can you make the decision?" The young man asked in a loud, angry voice.
Su Qing Jiu stood up straight with a smile as his finger touched the tip of his nose. This was the kind of person she liked to be unconvinced and had a temper. Such people usually lacked education.
Instead of laughing out of anger, Su Qing Jiu asked: "Do you think that I can make the decision now?"
The teenager sized up Su Qing Jiu's expression and smile. Every smile was extremely vivid, and every gaze was filled with a fatal attraction. Her clothes were made of fine silk, and just from this, he could tell that her status was much higher than his.
"I, I don't know!" The young man turned his face to the side and said unconfidently.
"Ha ~" Su Qing Jiu laughed softly. He did not expect the young man to feel embarrassed. As expected, having a good set of skin would have some benefits. It was a good thing that she hadn't grown up yet. Otherwise, she would have to suffer a lot more.
Was she narcissistic?
Su Qing Jiu circled around the teenager, and said with his hands behind his back, "There are only so many people in the Wang Mansion, and they only have so much work to do every day. You say you can do anything. "Then, let's see who you can replace …"
Substitute? This was a huge problem. Who wants to be replaced? The Residence of King Mo was a quiet place, not to mention other places. Compared to the other courtyards, this place was much safer.
The work could be done, but being replaced was really hard. In that moment, the teenager choked on Su Qing Jiu's words, not knowing what to say.
"I, I can replace you …"
Silence, absolute silence. Su Qing Jiu did not expect the young man to say those words. If it was really like that, it would be great. If he were to replace her, then she would live a carefree life in the future.
"Qi Mo Xuan, listen up. He said to replace me, what do you think?"
The woman's cheerful and light voice came faintly and was extremely pleasant to the ear. Qi Mo Xuan leaned back in his wheelchair with a smile on his face. "Esteemed wangfei, I don't think it's good at all."
"Oh." Su Qing Jiu replied in embarrassment. There were some jokes that couldn't be casually played out. She lowered her head, her pure and clear eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness.
Since she had come to this foreign world, she wouldn't be able to return for a short period of time. Then she should find something interesting to do for herself, shouldn't she?
"Esteemed wangfei, this one will take him away now. I won't disturb you any longer …"
With that, the young man carried the youth and left. Su Qing Jiu saw that the initial unwillingness in the youth's eyes had gradually turned into disappointment, as well as a sort of distress and anxiety. It seemed that the youth really needed a job.
"Wait, what's your name?"
"In reply to wangfei, this one's name is Li Er …"
Su Qing Jiu did not reply, but continued to stare at the youth. Li Er let go of the youth and added, "He was called over to help out with the happy occasion yesterday. He came again today. I'll take him with me."
"I'll give you a chance. If you beg me, I'll let you stay behind!" Su Qing hugged his arm proudly, "Look, they don't welcome you." Only I can give you a job here. "
"I, I …" The youth pursed his lips.
Suddenly, the youth pushed Li Er away and knelt in front of Su Qing Jiu. He clenched his fists, as if he had made a big decision, and said loudly, "Please, let me stay. "I, really need this job …"
After pausing for a while, Su Qing Jiu extended his hand, and said: "A good man should kneel to the heavens and kneel to his parents, why would you kneel to me? If you want to stay, you can just talk with your ability. "
"At present, I need people for two things. Firstly, I want to grow some plants and vegetables in the palace. Secondly, I will give you some money. You need to double your performance and perform well within the set time limit. I can reward you!"
"There's no conflict between the two jobs. If you choose to do both, your salary will double!"
These conditions were absolutely good! Su Qing Jiu squinted, her smile was very strong, she suddenly wanted to nurture someone to earn money for her. This young man in front of her, just treat it as training for her. She came to take a look at this ancient market.
"Steward, come here, I have something to tell you!"
Su Qing tilted her face. She clearly saw that the first reaction of the butler was to see what Qi Mo Xuan meant. Although the royal concubine had a name, she didn't have actual authority. However, she had no demands on power, and she did not intend to be explicit about what these people did.
Taking the opportunity when the youth was stunned, Su Qing Jiu asked again: "What is your name?"
The youth lowered his head, deliberately avoiding the probing gaze as he stammered, "This little one's only addressing an orphan. If I say it out loud, I'm afraid I'll humiliate the wangfei's ears."
Hearing this, Su Qing Jiu once again sized up the young man in front of him. She understood that there was a hidden meaning to his tone, and that his name was a form of address to her. However, when we meet in the future, she won't say 'you', right?
"My surname is Su. Since you want to follow me in the future, let's call you Su You!"
The housekeeper brought a small tray with him to Su Qing Jiu. "Princess, what do you want …"
Su You? The youth raised his head. What he did not tell Su Qing was this: Actually, his name was You. Was this fate? He came to a realization.
"Here are 10 taels of silver. How long do you think you'll need to double the amount of time you spend here …" Su Qing Jiu's lips curled up.
Su You was stunned. She had never thought that Su Qing Jiu would be so direct. However, if he wanted to stay, he had to do it.
"One, one month …" Su You replied with some uncertainty.
"Oh, okay then." Su Qing Jiu directly threw some silver coins to Su You, and then took a few pieces of silver from the butler's tray. "I will first pay you with these silver taels. You can go back and take care of some matters.
"Since you said that you can double it in a month, I'll let you stay for a month. "This month, you have to complete the task I gave you, and you have to be there when I'm looking for you. You have to busy yourself during the rest of the time, and think about how to double this 10 silver taels …"
After he finished speaking, Su Qing Jiu walked towards Qi Mo Xuan's direction, but he saw the butler rapidly writing something down. He asked curiously, "Butler Li, what is this?"
The butler put down the pen and said, "Since Princess has decided to keep Su You, the Duke's Mansion has proof of her decision."
"Oh." Su Qing Jiu nodded, then picked up his brush and said: "I will write something, you can give it to him together later …."
"I really let him off so easily, saving me another round of expenses." Su Qing Jiu shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
