Chapter 40 Madam came to serve

In the living room of the Fu Mansion, the servant Li Shun held his own contract in his hand, and was so excited that he burst into tears.

A contract is the certificate of selling himself as a servant of the Fu Mansion. Now that he has obtained the contract himself and has become a free person.

Under the envious eyes of all the servants, Butler Liang held two ingots of 50 taels of silver and said in a bad tone: "Li Shun, this is a hundred taels of silver I have given you. From now on, you are no longer a servant of the Fu Mansion. You must leave the Fu Mansion tomorrow morning."

"Yes...yes...thanks...thanks to Butler Liang." Li Shun put away the contract for sale and took the money with his hands trembling.

One hundred taels of silver are not too much, but it is already a great fortune for the poor.

A mu of fertile land costs only seven to eight taels of silver, and dozens of taels of silver is a big deal. If you have a hundred taels of silver, you can buy more than ten acres of fertile land.

Li Shun sold himself as a servant at the age of 14, but only sold 50 taels of silver.

Holding the snowflakes in his hand, Li Shun knelt in front of Mu Xiaotian excitedly, and said gratefully: "Thank you, my son-in-law."

"Get up quickly." Mu Xiaotian smiled and said, "You reported me to me before. I said I would repay you. Get the money quickly and get a wife and live a good life after I go home."

"Thank you, son-in-law!" Li Shun took the money thankfully, kowtowed again, and then retreated.

"Son-in-law!" Fu Wanqing seemed to ignore the fact that Li Shun dared to betray him, and still said with a smile: "You want me to let Li Shun go, I let me go; if you want me to give him money, I will give it too, look..."

"Okay!" Mu Xiaotian said: "I will live in the Fu Mansion tonight and wait for you to come back tomorrow. As long as you bring Yueying back, I will immediately give you the nine-year-old divine water."

"Father!" Fu Wenjun interrupted, "We must separate the resources for taking concubines from the divine water dedicated to the emperor. If the people sent by the emperor take away all the divine water, wouldn't we have nothing?"

Butler Liang quietly said next to Fu Wanqing: "Master, the things I have had today are so many people, I'm afraid they can't keep them secret!"

"Can't keep it confidential?" Fu Wanqing calmed down.

If you have a private possession of the divine water that can prolong your life, what will happen if others find out?

As a result, when Fu Wanqing was scared and sweated.

This kind of divine water that can prolong life will definitely cause others to be jealous. If the emperor becomes jealous, will he find a crime and search his own family and exterminate his clan?

The emperor is already old, just like a drowning person, who will hold on to everything that can save lives.

Once this divine water that can prolong life is known to the emperor, he will definitely send a secret spy to investigate the whereabouts of all the divine waters. What if there is a secret spy among his servants?

"Jun'er, we must never leave the divine water." Fu Wanqing said with lingering fear: "For my father, I decided to offer all the divine water to the emperor."

"Why?" Fu Wenjun was anxious. If he gave all this, wouldn't he have compensated the girl and the soldiers, and he didn't get any benefits, but instead paid for his two sisters.

"Don't you think about it. If the emperor knows that there is a divine object like the Divine Water, he will definitely send a secret spy to investigate the whereabouts of all the divine waters. What if there are secret spies from the court hidden in my Fu's mansion?"

"Secret...Secret Spy?" Fu Wenjun turned around and looked at the door.

More than 20 guards and servants all watched their father and son, and heard the conversation between them and Mu Xiaotian.

What if there is a spy from the court hidden among these servants, who is a spy sent by someone else?

Fu Wenjun felt chilling. If he had kept the divine water privately and the emperor knew about it, his head would have to move.

The crime of deceiving the king should be killed according to the law!

Shenshui is important, but your own head is even more important.

"Father." Fu Wenjun beat Han Guo and asked in fear: "What do you think we should do?"

"Jun'er." Fu Wanqing shook the mineral water bottle in his hand and said:

"I will come to the palace to meet the saint tomorrow morning. With my bottle of divine water that can extend life for five years, plus the nine-year amount of divine water that Mu Xiaotian promised, you can easily solve the problem of reputation damage for your father, preserve your position, and also get you promoted to the third level."

"Advanced to the third level!" Fu Wenjun suddenly forgot to be afraid, his breathing became rapid, and said excitedly: "Father, I listen to my father."

Mu Xiaotian watched coldly, and he really couldn't understand why Fu Wanqing and his son were so enthusiastic about being an official.

As a modern person, Mu Xiaotian did not know the benefits of being an official in this era. Only by becoming an official can he become a noble official, with great majesty.

Ordinary people have to kneel down to salute when they see an official and call him the official master.

Once you become an official, you can exempt the court from corvee labor and taxes.

In the three years, the Qing magistrate was 100,000 silver dollars. With power, there was wealth, and with wealth, there was a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine.

As the saying goes, there is a golden house in books, and there is a beautiful woman in books. This is also the main reason why all people in the world dream of becoming officials.

"We are going to rest, see you tomorrow." Mu Xiaotian held Bi Shuiyao's hand and walked towards the backyard.

Fu Wanqing looked at the backs of Mu Xiaotian and the others walking towards the backyard, and said in a stern tone: "Button Liang!"

"Master!" Butler Liang stepped forward and bowed.

"Send people to take turns guarding the backyard. Before I come back tomorrow, I must not let Mu Xiaotian and Bi Shuiyao leave the Fu Mansion one step." Fu Wanqing ordered.

"Yes, lord!" the loyal butler Liang responded.

"Yes!" Fu Wanqing then faced Xiao Taohong, who had been silent on the side, and said, "Little Taohong, please wait for me to rest. I will enter the palace to meet the saint tomorrow morning."

"Yes, lord!" Xiao Taohong replied quickly, following Fu Wanqing to the backyard.

Walking slowly, Xiao Taohong remembered that Fu Wanqing gave those maids who had lost their freshness to his friends, and she felt even more confused about her future.

As a concubine, he did not give birth to a man or a woman. Only God knows what his future fate will be.

In my heart, I envied Bishuiyao. After all, she had the status of husband and wife with Mu Xiaotian. Even if Mu Xiaotian didn't like her, she would never give her to others. The concubine and maid could give her away like slaves. I have never heard of anyone giving her wife to others.

Fu Mansion Backyard.

The four guards were guarding the four sides outside Bishuiyao's room.

In Bishuiyao's room, Mu Xiaotian stretched out his head and looked out the window, and saw a ward ten meters away staring at him.

"Brother, I'll sleep with my wife. Don't knock on the door and disturb us!" Mu Xiaotian said with a thick face and smiled.

Although Bishuiyao thought she was already his wife, she still felt shy when she heard Mu Xiaotian call her wife.

"Son-in-law!" said the guard with his knife and clasped his fists, "We are also following the orders to guard the room outside. We will never get close to the room and disturb you for rest."

"Thank you!" Mu Xiaotian bowed and closed the window.

Looking at the window being closed, the guard was very envious and jealous: "If I had such a divine water that could heal and prolong life, I could marry a beautiful girl. Alas! It's a pity that my ancestors did not appear, so I would not have this blessing!"

In the room, as the window closed, Mu Xiaotian in the room immediately locked the crystal ball in his mind with his mind, and the two of them immediately disappeared with their hands holding Bi Shuiyao's hand.

The guards didn't know that there was no one in the room, and they were still staring at the windows stupidly.

If resentment could kill people, Mu Xiaotian had long been killed by the jealous and hatred resentment of four guards outside the room.

"Please cheer me up, are Mu Xiaotian and the others in the room?" Fu Wenjun led Butler Liang to come over and pointed to Bi Shuiyao's door and asked.

"Young Master." The guard immediately bowed: "My son-in-law is inside, and he just closed the window."

"It's good to be there. When this young master is promoted to the third level, each person will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver. If he is asked to escape, once the emperor blames him, let alone the money is gone, even your heads will be gone!" Fu Wenjun threatened.

The four guards were just martial artists who knew how to use their skills, but they were not martial arts masters with great skills. When Fu Wenjun was frightened, they immediately did not dare to think about it anymore and bowed:

"Please rest assured, young master, we must stay here without blinking."

"That's good." Fu Wenjun took Butler Liang back and left with arrogantly, as if he had been promoted to three levels and had become a high-ranking official in the court.

In the Penglai Harem, in the main bedroom on the third floor of the main hall, Mu Xiaotian was taking a bath in the bathroom. He was thinking about how the tap water for the bath came from and how the hot water came from. Could it be that the fiery red crystal on the pipe heated the water?

The bathroom door was suddenly pushed open, Bi Shuiyao stood at the door biting her lip, her face flushed and looked down at the ground.

Looking at Bi Shuiyao who suddenly appeared outside the door, Mu Xiaotian turned around and covered himself with his hands. He said in panic:

"You...why are you here! I just said that I don't need you to wait for a shower. You should go back to your room to rest."

"Husband." Bi Shuiyao said shyly, "Just like Yue Ling told you and me just now. You think she and Xiao Cui are young, so don't want them to serve you. As my husband's wife, I should serve you."

"I don't need you to serve you, you can go out for me!" Mu Xiaotian refused against his will. Although she looked good, her identity really made her dare not have any male and female thoughts about her, so she could only let her continue to live in the name of her wife.

"Don't I need to serve me?" Bi Shuiyao murmured to herself, her body couldn't help but shake, tears flowed down her eyes, and the shyness on her face instantly receded and turned pale.

Bi Shuiyao folded her hands on her navel and blessed her blessing: "I am a body of a broken flower and a willow, and I shouldn't have lived in the world. Since my husband dislikes me, I will leave now."

Bi Shuiyao seemed to have lost her soul, as if she was only a body left, and turned around and moved towards the door of the room.

Mu Xiaotian felt very uncomfortable when he looked at her lifeless appearance.

"Am I wrong?" Mu Xiaotian thought in a daze: "Or do I understand the ideas of women of this era at all?"

Seeing that Bi Shuiyao had already walked to the door, Mu Xiaotian knew that he had to make a choice, otherwise this stubborn woman would definitely want to seek death again.

"Where are you going, Madam?" Mu Xiaotian smiled evilly at the corner of his mouth: "I can't come and serve you!"
