After listening to the news provided by the bookstore shopkeeper, Meng Li walked out of the inner room of the bookstore and saw Jiang Yuyan holding a fairy sword book and was fascinated.
He was a little surprised, and then realized that the other party was Jiang Yuyan, but she was just a girl at the moment. Her mother is still alive, and although she is more mature than her peers due to her previous experiences, she has not completely departed from the girl's mind.
The most important thing is that she has not yet been subjected to the intensified bullying and persecution of Jiang Biehe and his wife, and she has not yet been blackened.
Therefore, it is normal for her to be fascinated by the story at this moment.
"If you like it, just take a set." Meng Li walked over and said softly.
"Huh?" Jiang Yuyan was shocked, came back to her senses instantly, shook her head and said: "No, the slave just took a look."
As she said, she closed the notebook in her hand and put it back on the bookshelf, but Buling's eyes showed reluctance.
Meng Li shook his head and smiled, winking at the guy on the side.
The guy instantly understood, and immediately skillfully took out a set of fairy sword scripts, packed them, and handed them to Jiang Yuyan.
Jiang Yuyan didn't answer.
Meng Li said: "Next, take this set of scripts, not just because of you. When I go back, the road is long, and I also want to relieve my boredom."
Jiang Yuyan then took the package.
Immediately, Meng Li said hello to the shopkeeper and led people away.
Not long after leaving, he entered a ready-to-wear store.
The guy in the store was about to come up, Meng Li raised his hand and said: "I'll take a look for myself first, call you if you need it."
"Okay, if you need to say hello."
Meng Li looked around, and finally chose two sets of women's clothing, one goose yellow and one lake blue, for the guy to take off.
Immediately, he handed over the package containing the script in Jiang Yuyan's hand to his attendant Zhang Shan, and said to her: "Go and try it."
"Young master, don't ......"
"Hurry up."
Soon, Jiang Yuyan changed her clothes and came out.
Meng Li looked at it carefully, nodded slightly, and then waved her hand for her to try another set.
After trying out the two sets, he asked the guy next to him: "Do you have any darker colors here?"
The guy thought for a moment and replied: "Yes, the size is the same?"
Meng Li shook his head, turned his head and asked Jiang Yuyan: "Do you know your mother's stature?"
Jiang Yuyan nodded.
She has sewn her mother's clothes many times, so she knows the size of the clothes.
"Then tell him and let him find out if there is a suitable one."
Meng Li pointed to the guy and said to her.
Jiang Yuyan did as he was told.
The guy quickly found two sets of clothes that met the requirements.
"I bought them all."
"Okay, wait a moment."
After leaving the garment store, Meng Li strolled around the street for a while and returned to the inn in the evening.
At dinner, Meng Li still asked Jiang Yuyan to eat together.
However, Jiang Yuyan did not do it like noon, but asked repeatedly: "Master, do you want the slave to be your maid?"
Meng Li was stunned for a moment, and then wondered: "Why did you ask that?"
Jiang Yuyan lowered her head slightly: "Because you are so good to the slaves, so good that they are not like the maids of the master."
Meng Li smiled, and then asked with interest: "Then are you willing to be my maid in the room?"
Jiang Yuyan bit her lip and nodded solemnly: "The slave is willing! The young master not only bought a slave so that the slave could treat his mother, but also was willing to take in the slave's mother, and he was so good to the slave, the slave was willing to be a maid for the young master."
"But ......"
She paused, and said hesitantly: "The slave has a request, I hope the young master will agree."
Meng Li's eyes narrowed slightly: "Let's talk about it."
Jiang Yuyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and her tone was a little apprehensive: "The slave hopes that the young master can ask for the slave's body again in two years. Because the slaves have heard that if a woman breaks her body too early, it will damage her vitality, and most of them are prone to early death."
"The slave does not want to live a long life, but I hope to stay by the young master's side for a longer time so that I can repay the young master's kindness."
"If possible, the slave still wants to give birth to a child for the young master......"
At the end, her voice faded away.
Although the maid in the room can be married to the male master, her status is lower than that of the concubine. They want to be further promoted to concubines, either to win the favor of the male master and let the other party give them a title. Either there are children, and mothers are expensive by their children.
Jiang Yuyan said this at the moment, obviously with the intention of being in a higher position.
In addition, since she has sold herself to Meng Li as a slave, she is his private property in today's legal theory, and he can dispose of it however he wants.
In this case, Jiang Yuyan's request is against respect.
However, Meng Li did not offend.
Influenced by his previous life, his concept of superiority and inferiority is not so feudal. At the same time, Jiang Yuyan wanted to fulfill his obligations in a few years, which was also in line with his wishes, because he was also not at the right age in this life.
In the end, the child's affairs are not a problem in his opinion.
Of course, there are two reasons why he is so tolerant.
First, he obtained the divine skill of transplanting flowers and grafting wooden versions of wedding dresses through Jiang Yuyan.
The second is the other party's face.
Although it is wrong to judge people by their appearance, it is human nature to love beauty, and having a good-looking face can always make people a little more tolerant.
Therefore, after a short silence, Meng Li readily agreed: "Yes."
"Is there anything else?"
"Thank you, young master!" Jiang Yuyan thanked him gratefully, and then said: "The slave is fine."
"Then sit down and eat." Meng Li greeted him, then looked at Jiang Yuyan's buling eyes and smiled: "Since you have agreed to be a room for me, then don't call yourself a slave, just call yourself by your first name, or just call me as usual."
"Okay, young master."
Xu Shi has determined his future identity and has something to rely on, Jiang Yuyan's next performance is a little more lively and exciting than before.
After finishing a meal, it was almost dark.
After the shopkeeper took away the dishes and chopsticks, Meng Li chatted with Jiang Yuyan for a while and asked her to go back to her room to accompany Xiao Baiyan.
"Mother, I have decided to be a maid for the young master."
"He agreed to my request."
As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Yuyan walked to Xiao Baiyan and reported the results in a low voice.
Xiao Baiyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at her and sighed: "I have wronged you."
Although she said that, she understood that with her daughter's situation, this was already a good result. However, whether it is greed or extravagance, most parents always want their children to have better.
Jiang Yuyan shook her head and said seriously: "My daughter doesn't feel wronged, this is voluntary."
"My daughter is willing to be a maid for the young master, not because she sold herself to him, not because she couldn't help herself, and not only because he was good to me and you."
"It's because I like him."
"Like it?" Xiao Baiyan was startled, and then smiled and said: "How old are you, you have known Young Master Meng for less than a day, how ...... it?"
At the end of the words, she suddenly stopped.
Because she remembered herself and Jiang Yuyan's biological father, that is, Jiang Biehe.
At that time, they had not known each other for a long time, and the place where they met was still a dusty place full of hypocrisy.
She also fell in love with each other, and she really liked it.
Jiang Yuyan is her biological child, and she is in the early stage of love, just like her, it is not impossible. After all, she had seen Meng Li, she had a good appearance, she was gentle, and her behavior was mature that did not match her age.
However, she still couldn't help but want to confirm.
Because of the pain caused by the wrong payment, she has experienced it, and although she still does not regret it, it is very painful.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Then what do you like about him?"
"He is a person."
