Chapter 573
The Golden Son-in-law
Xue Mei made arrangements for everyone around her.
According to her expectations, these arrangements are actually good choices.
Regardless of whether they can do things or not, just the money Xue Mei gives them, as long as they can live, changing to a remote town, it will be enough for them to buy a house and buy a land and live a life without worries about food and clothing.
Twenty thousand taels are a fatal temptation.
As maids, they only have ten taels of silver per month, which is quite generous. If they are from other families, they will be able to die of five taels of silver per month.
The severance payment given by Xue Mei was enough for them to earn more than 160 years.
She thought that the maids would at least hesitate and said they would consider it.
Unexpectedly, each of them had a pale face and knelt down to Xue Mei: "Miss, I want to follow you! I don't have any money!"
Hongluan was already crying.
Xue Mei thought 20,000 taels were very attractive, but she ignored the most important point: in this era, women were not human, and they did not have independent personality.
Holding a huge sum of money is like a child walking through a downtown market with gold nuggets. Being robbed of money is small, and being killed by money is more likely.
They need to rely on.
A woman cannot establish a business on her own and is not qualified to pay taxes. The princess probably forgot that. She was dissatisfied with this at the beginning and insisted on being a princess.
Only women like princesses and princesses are like ordinary men and are considered individuals.
Without the princess, they would need to rely on other masters.
Of course, now that they have quit their slaves, they can find a man to marry. Only when men set up their own businesses can they be qualified to buy land for her.
But, men are more reliable than princess?
If you are not capable, it is unknown whether you are eaten alive by a man.
The smart Xiuzhu thought this out in an instant, so she knelt down first, wanting to hug Xue Mei's thighs tightly. Even if she went wandering, she had to follow the lady!
Cai Yuan and Hong Luan, Dai's mother subconsciously couldn't leave the eldest lady. They were weaker and relied heavily on Xue Mei in terms of relationships.
As for Jinping, she returned to Prince Rui's Mansion to be a dark guard who could not see the light. The good days of Princess Mansion made her see the light, and she never wanted to go back to the darkness again.
Xue Mei can leave, but they cannot live without Xue Mei.
"Okay, don't panic." Xue Mei said, "I haven't driven you away. It's just that my future is unknown..."
"Miss, we follow you, no matter where you go, we will go." Dai's mother said, "If you marry well, we will live a good life with you; if you don't marry well, you should sell these small things to fill your life.
My life belongs to the eldest lady. Now that I have been removed from my slavery, have you forgotten that I was a pariah? Miss, we are really dead without you."
Several maids nodded repeatedly.
Xue Mei couldn't speak for a while.
Dai's mother is her wet nurse, and the maids are her sisters. Xue Mei has a burden and a warmth.
"...I didn't leave in a short while, you guys think about it for a few more days." Xue Mei said, "Only after thinking through things clearly, you can make a decision.
Besides, besides yourself, you have parents and brothers in Liang State. If I leave, I will travel thousands of miles, and I don’t know when I will return.”
The maids said they didn't have to think about it.
Xue Mei asked them to think about it again and just tell her the result before July.
She turned around and went out.
Although my fifth brother returned to Beijing with the army, he could not move around casually. He is still in the defense camp outside the city.
On the third day, my fifth brother was arranged to join the Governor-General of the Capital, and was still the Xuanjie Captain.
The Xuanjie lieutenant in the capital had a military salary of 5 taels, which was a little more expensive than that in Baiya Town; but in Baiya Town, he was in charge of 200 people, but now he can only manage 30 people.
He himself had to patrol the capital, second only to the defense camp, and was the second line of defense outside the imperial city.
If a rebel wants to enter the city, he needs to destroy the defense camp, then the capital governor's office, then the capital admiral's office, etc., and only after five or six lines of defense can you enter the imperial city.
After getting the official position, Xue Run rested one day and immediately returned to the princess's mansion.
As soon as he came back, he yelled to eat, drink, wash, etc.
Xue Mei asked someone to make arrangements for him.
Xue Run was reincarnated as a starving ghost, and was in a very difficult situation. Seeing this, Xue Mei: "Have you eaten these days?"
"I have never eaten enough in the army, and those naan breads are hard to eat." The fifth brother sighed, "I never want to go to the base again, I will feel comfortable in Beijing!"
Xue Mei smiled.
When the fifth brother was having dinner, Xue Mei said that he had some good things and he would temporarily store them in his yard.
"Okay." The fifth brother was empty-headed. He never thought about why his elder sister wanted to put things in his house because she needed to put things in his house.
In his opinion, the house was bought by the elder sister, and the elder sister can use it anyway.
After eating and drinking, Xue Run asked Xue Mei again: "Big sister, your majesty hasn't made things difficult for you, right?"
"No."
"That's great. Big sister, give me some money, I'm going to find Yu Jun!" Xue Run said.
Xue Mei: "..."
Raising your younger brother is good, but it's too expensive.
This time, she did not let Xue Run lose his luck. Considering that he was in a hurry, Xue Mei asked the maids to take out his previous clothes, let him take a shower, and dress up.
At the same time, Xue Mei prepared a lot of gifts, some of which she brought back from the northwest, such as sheepskin and fox fur, which were all priceless.
In addition to these, there are also many silks, satin, ornaments, delicious pastries stored in the Princess's Mansion, which made Xue Run's gift look expensive and decent, and the Cao family can't make mistakes.
Xue Run was awkward and said no need.
Then, he arrived at Wu'an Bo Mansion and saw the shiny eyes of the doorman when he saw his carriage. He was ten times more attentive. Only then did Xue Run realize that his eldest sister was wise.
He brought this pride into the Cao family's gate.
Xue Run, who has the military rank, is no longer unusual. This time Wu Anbo personally entertained him.
Cao Yujun's uncles and brothers all regarded Xue Run as a rich son-in-law and had a diligent attitude.
Xue Run only wanted to see Cao Yujun, but she couldn't get rid of her body for a while and was very irritable.
Later, it was the maid next to Mrs. Cao who said that the wife wanted her future son-in-law to invite her to appoint her, so the men of the Cao family let Xue Run in.
"This time he has made real military achievements. He has been appointed as a captain at a young age. His future is unlimited. Congratulations to brother and his happy son-in-law."
"The military achievements of Baiya Town are extremely difficult for ordinary people. As long as he does not make big mistakes, as soon as he gets old, the general of the Governor's Office will be his."
"I heard that his sister annoyed His Majesty?"
"The military officer is not implicated. If His Majesty minded, he would not have been allowed to work as an errand in the Governor-General of the Capital."
Everyone talked and saw Xue Run's brilliant future and thought that the Cao family had chosen the son-in-law very well.
Xue Run didn't know, and he was not interested in knowing it.
As he quickly walked into the inner courtyard, he was in a good mood and almost trotted to Mrs. Cao's main courtyard.
However, the scene in the courtyard scared him.
