024 Bad taste in trouble
Three days later, Yang Heng received his first job and went to the group of resident to teach his slaves to read and read.
There is a difference between good and lowly. Even an ordinary good citizen is ashamed to be with his servants, let alone teach them to read. Yang Heng thought that Bai Pingzi was willing to humiliate him. Anger flashed in his eyes and asked Kale who came to inform him, "Is this an errand given by General Manager Bai?"
Kale nodded and said, "Yes, your injury is not healed now, so it is more appropriate to have such a light and cheap work. Baijiazhuang is paid three taels of silver every month, and the food and accommodation costs are deducted, and the remaining two taels of silver are still available to pay for the previous medical expenses." The words were just official and understated, as if they did not feel Yang Heng's resistance at all.
When Yang Heng faced this young man who could not move, he suddenly felt powerless. He was not worried about being tired from work, nor was he worried about how much his salary was.
Squinted his eyes, Yang Heng tried his best to calmly say, "I want to meet Miss Bai, please pass it on your behalf."
Kale nodded, put down the small bag in his hand and said, "I'll ask the lady if she has free time. This is the textbook to be used in class. Please prepare it first." He also continued to ignore the anger in Yang Heng's eyes. Kale seemed to have no idea that he didn't want to take on this job, so he put down his things and turned around and left.
I don’t know if Yang Heng’s luck is good or bad. More than half an hour later, he met Bai Fuling as he wished. The latter had just visited Chengqunyuan and checked the study progress of her family’s “cows and horses”. He heard Kale say that Yang Heng was very dissatisfied with the work assigned to him, so he took the time to meet Yang Heng.
The meeting place was under the big trees on the side of the yard of the yard. The dense shade of trees kept the hot summer sun out, and the shade was much cooler than other places.
Before coming, Yang Heng had already thought about it. His current identity is just a civilian, and he still owes Bai Fuling the kindness and money debts. In fact, he has no position to oppose her arrangements, but it does not mean that he is going to "sit and wait for death."
It is a romantic event to pick beauties on the frontier, and it is not a heroic and moving deed. If it is spread out in the future, it will become a laughing stock. If it is not good, it will be a reason for being attacked and embarrassed by political enemies.
"Don't you want to teach my servants to read and read?" Bai Fuling was in a great mood today, so she told Yang Heng's thoughts without any embarrassment. Just now, Yang Mei told her that there will be a group of slaves who can soon be redeemed and left. The new faces of the group of people who have just learned will be added to their original positions, so that she will have dozens of voided body contracts on her hands.
Today she was wearing a pink and yellow jacket and a long lotus leaf-colored skirt. Her long hair was tied up high, and a few strands of beautiful hair and long emerald green hairbands fell. She was as fresh and tender as the newly emerged from the spring water. Yang Heng looked at it and his anger dissipated a lot.
"No one of them will be slaves for life, and will become good people in the future. You don't have to worry that their identity will affect your future and reputation. The officials and slaves I bought are all literate and no one needs to be taught." Bai Fuling smiled without waiting for his answer. In the past, she met many people who were unwilling to be hired to teach slaves to read even if she paid a high price, so she understood the concerns in these people.
The so-called official slaves refer to people whose household registration records are slaves in the Qi State government. Many of these people are criminals and their families and children. Once they become official slaves, unless they encounter special pardons, their descendants will be inferior slaves for generations.
Some people are also sold as slaves for various reasons. As long as they meet a good master and are willing to let them redeem themselves, they can still become civilians again. These people are also called private slaves. The private slave's body sale contract is divided into red contracts and white contracts. The red contract is stamped with the official seal and is officially recognized. The white contract only has the signatures and seals of both the buyers and sellers, and may not even have witnesses. The white contract also has legal effect, but if there is a conflict between the red contract and the different buyers of the white contract holding the same slave, the red contract shall prevail.
Whether it is official slaves or private slaves, the state has explicitly restricted the number of slaves that each household can own, and cannot trade and trade at will. However, no one will implement it. High-ranking officials and wealthy households raise slaves unscrupulously.
Peng Tie claimed to be a man in the world and shouldn't have cared too much about this. He cared so much that proved Bai Fuling's guess about his identity. However, due to her bad taste, she was so happy that she pretended not to know, just tossed about this guy who seemed gentle but was actually arrogant.
Thinking of this, Bai Fuling decided to take Yang Heng to teach his slaves. The more he was unwilling, the more he wanted to force him to do it. This would be fun!
She has lived a very smooth life in the past few years when she moved to Beiguan City, especially after Lu Ying's backer, she was even more unscrupulous. So she knew that she shouldn't have done something, but she still couldn't help but do it even though she knew that she was playing with fire. If she knew all the troubles that would come with the future, she would probably have stayed far away early this morning and would never offend Yang Heng with greed.
But where is there a medicine for regret in the world?
After hearing her words, Yang Heng turned his mind and asked, "Since they want to redeem themselves sooner or later, why bother to teach them how to read and read?"
"If they are illiterate and have no ability to settle down, in this world, they will sell themselves as slaves for their livelihoods in a blink of an eye. Wouldn't it be wasted my family's good intentions? People who have redeemed themselves from my Bai family not only need to be able to read, but also have a skill. Making money and self-reliance is not a problem." Bai Fuling said about what he was most proud of, and his eyebrows were even more energetic.
"So, the Bai family has done good deeds and accumulated virtues, and has immeasurable merits." Yang Heng disagreed. He was not a three-year-old child. He also said, "A man is good at nature." He did not believe that someone would pay money and work hard for no reason without fear of trouble. And he had never seen any family who accumulated good deeds raise a large group of good servants and evil slaves who were good at scattering the city and colluded with local officials, claiming to represent the king's law.
Bai Fuling seemed to be completely unable to understand the sarcasm in his words, raised her face and said, "That's that's it, our Bai family has never done good deeds without asking for rewards."
As he said that, he ignored Yang Heng's strange expression and pressed step by step: "Why do you do the job that teaches people to read and read? Just like you said, this is a rare opportunity to do good deeds and accumulate virtues! You shouldn't be more careless about details when you are a man in the world? Not to mention that you still owe me 528 taels, plus food and accommodation these days..."
Yang Heng knew that he was at a disadvantage, and the result would only be worse if he continued. Bai Fuling mentioned his current identity intentionally or unintentionally... Although he could refuse on the grounds that his body had not recovered, he thought about it and asked the servants of the Bai family to find out more about the Bai family and Lu Ying. The most important thing is that Lie Dang left that day and planned to go to Baijiazhuang to find out the truth. He wanted to contact Lie Dang and had to contact more people, so he nodded with a wry smile.
Bai Fuling won a great victory. Looking at Yang Heng's back as he walked away, he pulled the ginkgo beside him and smiled and said, "Tell you a secret secret! I won't tell him ordinary people!"
Ginkgo rolled his eyes and asked helplessly: "What's the secret?"
"In the days ahead, the students of the college will be blessed!"
"What's the blessing?"
Bai Fuling Shen lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "They will become the disciples of His Highness the Sixth Prince of Qi!"
"What?!" The ginkgo's voice suddenly rose octave, frightening the birds on the trees in the yard to flap their wings and fly around.
"Don't be excited, don't be excited, do you want everyone in Qi Country to know so loudly?" Bai Fuling patted the ginkgo with sympathy, smiling sweetly and charmingly.
Bai Guo knew that this was extraordinary and lowered her voice and said, "Miss, you... did you say that Peng Tie is the Sixth Prince?" While saying that, she glanced at the surroundings. There were a large group of people coming in and out. She was anxious and didn't care about the superiors and inferiors. Without waiting for Bai Fuling to answer, she pulled her to the Lengquan Villa.
Bai Fuling followed her and was still in a mood to say sarcastic words: "Ginkgo, just carry me back. It's hot and sunny, I'm walking slowly, so tired..."
Ginkgo turned around and glared at her, bent down and carried the lazy Bai pig on his back, and used his light skills to go to the cold spring.
All the maids around Bai Fuling who had the Bai family surname were very good at it. Although they were carrying heavy loads and were still very steadily and quickly. They returned to the cold spring in less than half a stick of incense.
White Poria easily jumped to the ground and leaned on the cold marble lounge chair under the shade of the tree beside the spring. It was so comfortable that I almost wanted to roll on the spot. It would be better for my own nest!
Ginkgo was not that easy to pass, so he walked up and stared at her and said, "You can explain it clearly, what's going on?"
"The day before yesterday, my father received a letter from the chastisement letter. The court sent the sixth prince to Beiguan City to reward Zhenbei Army. Although there was no specific description of his appearance, judging from his age and behavior, this is the pen letter." Bai Fuling said without considering it.
Ginkgo still wanted to ask, but Malan had already walked over with fruit refreshments, so she had to shut up for a while.
A cup of iced fresh grape juice, and a large bowl cut into small pieces of various fruits mixed with yogurt. White Poria ate happily with a smile. Ginkgo looked at it, but Malan only handed her a cup of warm tea and said, "Sister Ginkgo, you have just run all the way. Eating ice can easily damage your stomach. Let's drink a little tea and let's talk about it."
"My Malan is really good at taking care of people. Ginkgo, you can drink your tea with peace of mind." Bai Fuling deliberately ate it so loudly that it stimulated people.
Ginkgo gave her a big eye full of envy and jealousy. She sent out Malan who was interrupted in a few seconds, and then continued to ask: "Young people with flat heads, faces, and noble faces are rare and handsome. Beiguan City is not common, but it is not absolutely none. You know that he is the Sixth Prince. His Duanzhou accent doesn't look like someone from the capital. Moreover, even if the imperial envoy wants to visit privately, he always has to bring some guards around him. How could he be alone and almost lose his life in the wild?"
