Chapter 35 Thyme
"..."
After listening to Wu Liang's words, none of the "beauties" moved. After looking at each other for a while, they all showed fear on their faces.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
The "beauties" know their status. In the past, they were only qualified to live in simple servants' rooms.
It is the kind of extra servant's room built in the corner of the backyard of a big house. Only a few people who are lucky enough to be selected to serve the owner and his family are eligible to set foot in the big house.
The rest of the people could only squeeze into the main bunk of the servant's room. Only the servants sent by the master of the house were allowed to leave the servant's room. Even if they saw the master and his family, they had to stay far away, and even
Even if you are just seen dirtying your eyes, you may be punished.
But now, the head of the house actually lets them choose a place in the house at will. Can this be a good thing?
"It doesn't move at all? Didn't I make it clear enough?"
Wu Liang asked strangely.
"Master of the house, I dare to ask, does the master of the house just want to set up a chapter?"
The "beauty" who was only thirteen years old looked up at Wu Liang with watery eyes, and whispered in a trembling voice.
"Standing desk?"
Wu Liang couldn't understand this little girl's brain circuit.
"Servant, I once heard a sister say that Zhangtai is a big house with many houses, and there is a woman living in each house. No matter who comes, as long as he is willing to pay, he can
, you can..."
Obviously, because this little girl is still young and does not have adequate knowledge of physiological hygiene, she does not know how to word this.
"Pfft!"
Wu Liang couldn't help but laugh.
Not to mention, the characteristics listed by this little girl are really on point, and Wu Liang himself almost thought that he was going to get Zhang Tai.
His smile frightened the "beauties" again, and they all sat on the ground with ashen faces.
Unexpectedly, despite all my efforts, I could not escape this fate in the end.
"Okay, now I'll give you a cup of tea to pick a house. After a cup of tea, if there are still some of you who haven't picked a house properly, I, the owner of the house, may really have to make a decision!"
Wu Liang immediately opened his eyes and shouted with a straight face.
When he drank, the "beauties" were immediately frightened and trembled.
But after hearing the last sentence, they thought about it carefully before they gradually came to their senses... So, did the head of the family have no intention of setting up a chapter?
What exactly is that...
"There's still half a cup of tea left."
Wu Liang sat down on the stone bench in the center of the courtyard and looked at them with a half-smile.
"Sisters, what do you mean by the head of the family?"
"I don't know...I can't see clearly..."
"I have never seen such a master..."
"What about us?"
"No matter what, we can't escape death. The master of the house gives us a choice. How can we still disobey him?"
"Let's take a step and see."
"Pick first..."
The "beauties" were still worried, but when they heard Wu Liang gave them a deadline, they felt an extra layer of pressure. They had to get up from the ground one by one, bowed to Wu Liang, and then ran into the house.
The scale of Wu Liang's house is very impressive.
Entering the fourth courtyard, you can see the corridor-style courtyard that was very popular in the Han Dynasty. It is narrow in front and wide in the back. There is also a lot of green area. There is even a small pond decorated with rockery. At first glance, it looks like a house left over from a wealthy family.
It's a pity because it has been uninhabited for some time.
Most of the green space in the house has been abandoned, the water in the small pond has also turned green, and the furniture in many rooms is somewhat damaged or missing, and is also covered with a layer of spider webs and thick dust. It is impossible not to clean it up.
live.
Wu Liang also just got this house today, just before the "beauties" arrived, and he hadn't officially moved in yet.
To be honest, during the war years, wealthy families either ran away early or had their homes confiscated because they were in the wrong camp. There were quite a few empty mansions for various reasons.
The common people would not dare to touch such a house for fear of getting into trouble, and the nobles might not take a fancy to it, so in the end they could only leave it here to gather dust.
Now that the reward is in Wu Liang's hands, Boss Cao is just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha...
After a while.
When the "beauties" came back to Wu Liang, they had already chosen a house they liked, and their anxious faces were more or less happy.
Although this house looks a bit dirty, it is not small at all. The owner of the house must be a big shot.
"Have you chosen?"
Wu Liang asked with raised eyebrows.
"alright……"
The "beauties" quickly agreed.
"But everything went as planned?"
Wu Liang asked again.
"Um……"
The "beauties" answered again.
"Now that you have chosen it, this house will be a part of you when you live here. Everyone should take corresponding responsibilities to bring this house back to life."
Wu Liang paused for a moment, then stood up and came to the "beauties" again, looked at them and asked, "Which female worker among you is the best?"
"I……"
A "beauty" stood up, with a slight blush on her pretty face.
This is one of the two beauties that Wu Liang recognized at a glance. Unfortunately, he is only fifteen years old now and has to wait three years.
"May I have your name?"
Wu Liang smiled at her and asked.
"Hundred, thyme."
"Beauty" replied slightly nervously.
"Thyme...this name is also very flavorful. It is exactly the name a beauty should have."
Wu Liang knew that Baili had a compound surname, and "Beauty" had the same character as Xiang, so he smiled and said: "Xiang'er, someone will send fifty pieces of cloth soon. These cloths are yours for safekeeping and use. Give them to everyone here first."
Make two sets of clothes, including me, remember?"
Upon hearing this, the "beauties" were immediately flattered.
Fifty bolts of cloth, if converted into corn, can be eaten by an average family for several years. The head of the family is indeed not an ordinary person!
But, does the master really want to make us new clothes?
Isn't this a dream?
Or maybe the master of the house has another purpose for us to put on new clothes...
"..."
Thyme was a little distracted by the sound of "Xiang'er".
It was such an affectionate name that her parents would only call her when she was still young.
Later, wars broke out, and my father was captured as a young man and never heard from again. My mother soon became seriously ill and died. The family's house and fields were taken away, and my young brother also starved to death in the process of exile.
After experiencing these changes, she finally reached where she is today.
The image of a loving father and a filial daughter has long gone. It has been a long time since anyone called her that, and it has been a long time since anyone even cared about her name...
Thinking of these, a desolation hidden in the deepest part of my heart surged into my heart.
Thyme could no longer control her emotions, her nose was sore and a rush of heat gushed out from her beautiful eyes.
"What's going on?"
Wu Liang was stunned when he saw this. Could it be that the work I arranged was too heavy and frightened Xiao Nizi?
It shouldn't be, I didn't set a time limit.
"Dad...no, no, no, no, please forgive me, my master!"
But he saw that Thyme had already knelt on the ground with a "pop" sound, and while desperately holding her tears with her eyes to prevent them from falling, she kept kowtowing to him, "My maid was so miserable that I couldn't hold it back. I know I was wrong.
