When the procuress saw Huang Shi, she put on a fake smile on her slightly plump and powdered face. She said, "Young Master Huang, have you prepared the money to redeem Qinglian?"
"Yes, I'm ready."
Huang Shi nodded and took out a bag of money from his sleeve. He handed it to the procuress and said, "This is the money converted into gold. It's a total of six hundred strings of coins. Please count it so that there won't be any mistakes. "
The procuress looked inside and saw that there were gold and some copper coins. There were a total of six hundred strings of coins. If it were copper coins, six hundred strings of coins would not be a small amount. She would not be able to carry it around.
Huang Shi specifically converted it into gold.
After the brothel keeper saw this, she sighed. In the Hundred Flowers Tower, Qinglian belonged to the lower class. This was because Qinglian was not charming and her temperament was not warm enough.
However, the brothel keeper liked Qing Lian's nature of not fighting for anything and Qing Lian's attitude. Moreover, Qinglian was educated and knew how to conduct herself. There were many things that the procuress would ask Qinglian. She would always get the answers she needed.
The procuress sighed and said, "Lian 'er, you're about to leave. I don't have anything to keep you. After all, the brothel is not a good place. It's good that you've found a good home. "
"I've always seen Young Master Huang Shi in my eyes. He's generous and forthright. He's also very attentive to you."
"He's willing to redeem you with six hundred strings of coins. It's very good. He's put in a lot of effort. I believe in Young Master Huang Shi's character. I also believe that you've chosen well. "
There was reluctance in the procuress's words.
There was also concern.
Qinglian bowed and said, "Mother, thank you for your help in the past few years. If it weren't for you, we would have been caught by human traffickers and wandered to god knows where."
The procuress shook her head and said, "Whether it's you or the other girls who have found a good home, I hope that they can really escape from the sea of suffering and live a good life. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. "
As she spoke, she took out the slave contract from her sleeve and handed it to Qinglian. She said, "Keep this slave contract and burn it later. I hope that you'll live a good life in the future. "
Qinglian thanked the brothel keeper.
The brothel keeper turned to look at Huang Shi. Her eyes were sharp as she said coldly, "Young Master Huang, although the daughters of my Hundred Flowers Tower came from a filthy place, they are all good. They all have kind hearts. Now that they are with you, I hope that you will treat them well. Because after she's with you, she's yours. You're her sky and her everything. "
Huang Shi raised his right hand and swore, "Don't worry, I will definitely treat Qinglian well. If I can't do it, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death. "
"Good, good, good!"
The procuress nodded and said, "With your words, I'm relieved. I won't take the six hundred strings of coins. Take it back yourself. Consider it my dowry for Qinglian. "
"Ah!"
Huang Shi exclaimed.
Originally, the procuress had insisted on six hundred strings of cash. Huang Shi thought that she was deliberately extorting him. But now, the procuress suddenly did not want the money anymore.
Huang Shi was very surprised.
The procuress said, "The reason why I asked for six hundred strings of cash is actually to test you. I want to see if you're sincere or not. As for the money to buy Qinglian's freedom, you often come to the Hundred Flowers Tower and have tipped dozens of strings of cash. Just consider it as the money to buy her freedom. Alright, pack up and leave. "
After saying that, the procuress turned and left.
Huang Shi was still very shocked.
He never thought that the procuress, who had always been greedy and regarded money as her life, would become so gentle and considerate of Qinglian.
Qinglian looked at Huang Shi and said, "My dear Huang, Mother has always been like this. She's very good to us. She had given money to each of her sisters who had left. Back then, when Little Brother and I were wandering on the streets and had nowhere to rely on, she took us in and gave us a chance to survive. She was once a poor person, but she put herself in the shoes of others. That's why she became like this. "
Huang Shi was quite touched. He took a deep breath and said, "Pack up. Let's go."
"Alright!"
Qinglian nodded in agreement.
She did not have many things. In less than fifteen minutes, she had packed everything and left with Huang Shi.
Huang Shi's residence was in the west of the city.
The house was not big.
However, it was more than enough for a family. Although there were no artificial mountains or flowing water in the backyard, there were no pavilions or terraces. It was just a simple house, but Qinglian's face was full of joy.
Qinglian put down the clothes in her hands and looked at Huang Shi. She bowed solemnly and said, "Husband, I'm yours today. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future. "
She had a determined look on her face.
Because she had married into the Huang family, she was Huang Shi's woman. Although she was a weak woman, she had always been very opinionated. Once she decided on something, she would not regret it no matter how hard or tiring it was.
"Silly girl!"
Huang Shi reached out and hugged Qinglian. He said, "There's still a long way to go. The house isn't big. As a man, I'm too lazy to clean it. Most of the time, I've asked Auntie Wang next door to clean for me. You're the housekeeper now. If you think it's suitable, let Auntie Wang continue. If it's not suitable, then don't invite her. "
Qinglian said, "Just do it as usual."
Huang Shi led Qinglian in. After the two of them settled everything, it was already close to noon. Because there was no food in the house, the two of them could only eat outside. After lunch, Huang Shi specially went to the broker house and bought an old woman back.
She was responsible for tidying up the residence and preparing meals.
After all, he could not let Qinglian do everything.
Qinglian naturally obeyed these orders. In the afternoon, she called her younger brother over.
Qinglian's brother was called Ma Yuan.
His surname was Ma.
Qinglian's surname was also Ma. It was just that she rarely used her surname in Hundred Flowers Tower.
When Ma Yuan came home and saw Huang Shi and his sister, he did not find it strange. However, Ma Yuan and Huang Shi had already met and dealt with each other before. Even so, he still straightened his neck and looked sharp.
Ma Yuan said in a deep voice, "Huang Shi, you married my sister, so you're my elder brother. However, there are some things that I still have to say. You're a man, so you have to give in to my sister. You have to treat her well and not let her suffer. If you let my sister down, I won't spare you. "
Ma Yuan was seventeen or eighteen years old, but his body was vigorous and powerful.
He was not a simple martial artist.
He could read and write because he read the art of war and strategy. Everything was the result of Qinglian's teaching.
Huang Shi said with a smile, "Your words are a bit harsh, but for your sister's sake, I won't bicker with you. Don't worry, I won't treat your sister unfairly. I won't let her suffer. "
After a pause, Huang Shi said, "I called you here to let you come with me to Ping Xi Wang Mansion. You're not young anymore. You can't keep doing hard work for others. I'm now working in the mansion. You come with me to see Ping Xi Wang. You're not like me, who only knows brute force. You have wisdom, so perform well and strive to get Ping Xi Wang's appreciation. "
When Ma Yuan heard this, he immediately said happily, "Brother-in-law, you actually became Ping Xi Wang's man and worked for him."
When Huang Shi heard this, he laughed.
Ma Yuan really changed his face quickly. Previously, he was still Huang Shi, but now he became his brother-in-law.
Qinglian also smiled.
She was well aware of her brother's character.
Huang Shi nodded and said, "I'm indeed on duty in Ping Xi Wang Mansion. Pack up and follow me. Now that you've moved in, you don't have to work outside. "
"Okay!"
Ma Yuan's face revealed a bright smile.
This was a good thing.
