About me traveling to the world of immortality but finding ways to surf the Internet

"Young Master, I have something to ask of you." Huang Ya kowtowed to Yang Yuyao and prayed.

"Then come in and talk." Yang Yuyao stepped back and let Huang Ya enter the room. As soon as she entered the room, Huang Ya immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Yuyao again. Then he took out a purse and held it up with both hands. She lowered her head so that Yang Yuyao couldn't see her expression, but he could see her eyes that were red and swollen from crying when she got up and entered the room.

"Young master, I beg you... I am willing to hand over all my monthly money to you. I am willing to pay whatever you ask me to do... Could you please advance the money to redeem my two sisters? My family... My family... I wanted to save money slowly, but my slave family...I'm worried that they won't be able to wait that long!"

One drop after another on the floor was Huang Ya's tears shed again. She was very naive. She entered the general's palace and became a maid at a young age. She only had a superficial understanding of brothels. She only knew that the girls there had enough money to redeem themselves. She originally thought that by slowly saving money, she would have a chance to rescue her sisters, but when she went to Hongwan to collect money in the afternoon, she happened to meet a maid named Bisu.

Huang Ya remembered that Bisu's past home was near the Nuanhong Pavilion, so she asked her about the Nuanhong Pavilion. Bisu didn't know that Huang Ya's two younger sisters were at the Nuanhong Pavilion. She wondered why Huang Ya was suddenly curious about the Nuanhong Pavilion, but she still told Huang Ya everything she knew.

When Bi Su was sixteen, she entered the General's Mansion at the age of twelve. She said that the madam at the Nuanhong Pavilion she knew was greedy for money and vicious. The girl who was bought for a few taels of silver was redeemed for a thousand taels. You must know that the girls in Nuanhong Pavilion are most beautiful, have no talent, and are not famous at all. No one would be willing to spend so much money to redeem such a girl. Therefore, if the girl in the Nuanhong Pavilion did not die unexpectedly, it would be until her beauty had faded and become worthless that the madam would sell her to the old widower at a low price, or even match her to the seller in a secret marriage.

The girls in this Nuanhong Pavilion receive customers who don't have much money and are mainly looking to relieve their anger, so they won't have perfect bodies. And because of the low prices, these girls will be forced by the madam to pick up more customers every day. If they don't obey, the two men who do chores in the Nuanhong Pavilion will tie them up and force them to go there. After the customers leave, they will be beaten severely. When Bi Su lived there, she could often hear the painful cries of the girls who were being punished. At that time, her mother, who was not yet dead, would cover her ears and hold her in her arms.

Bisu didn't know if the current Madam of the Nuanhong Pavilion was still the same one she knew, but she vaguely remembered that the Madam was about forty years old when she entered the General's Mansion, so the current Madam of the Nuanhong Pavilion was probably still the same one.

Bisu also told Huang Ya some of the more horrific experiences those girls suffered. Bisu's mother knew medical skills, and she often treated the girls from the Nuanhong Pavilion. Sometimes it was the girls from the Nuanhong Pavilion who were sent, and sometimes it was Bisu who Su's mother goes to Nuanhong Pavilion for treatment, and Bisu will follow to help carry the medicine box. Because of this, she has seen too many miserable conditions of those girls.

Huang Ya turned pale after hearing this. She was so afraid that her two younger sisters would also suffer such torture. But even if she is now promoted to the second-class maid and is Yang Yuyao's personal maid, she can earn three taels of silver per month. One thousand taels of silver. Even if she could get five taels of silver per month as a first-class servant after arriving in Yugui, plus rewards and other rewards, she would still have to save for sixteen years. This is still the price of one person's redemption. Two people are Two thousand, maybe higher. She is willing to continue saving nothing for so many years, but can her sisters wait that long? Even if she saves enough money to save one person, who should she choose?

After much thought, the only way she could think of was to ask Yang Yuyao for help. But Huang Ya didn't dare to expect Yang Yuyao to agree, because it was too far away for her to save two thousand taels of silver. For forty-four years, she was not sure that she could live that long. Even if she really lives that long, she is strong and worth the money now. When she is old and frail and unable to do much, it will be good to get a sling of copper coins per month.

"Is this what Xiaoyao you are waiting for?" He Qianqing asked via voice transmission. He knew that Yang Yuyao couldn't care less after knowing what happened to Huang Ya's sister. But Yang Yuyao shouldn't be too proactive. His relatives didn't express their opinions. He took the initiative to spend money to redeem the two prostitutes. This couldn't be justified.

"Well, yes." Yang Yuyao responded via voice transmission.

"If your two sisters are indeed sold to a brothel, I can help you pay the ransom. But Huang Ya, have you thought about how they will be resettled after they are redeemed? With your father's situation, I am afraid that you will not be able to return to your original home. , the land was probably mortgaged by him."

"I... I'm sorry, I haven't thought about the slave family." Huang Ya said frustratedly. Yang Yuyao was right to the point. Even if the two girls were redeemed, where could they stay? Huang Ya herself was just a maid in the general's palace, and their original home must have been mortgaged by their father to pay off gambling debts.

"You should get up first. I'll discuss it with dad." Yang Yuyao said, then looked back at He Qianqing, "Master, will you wait for me here first?"

"Yes." He Qianqing agreed.

"Huang Ya, pour me a cup of tea." He Qianqing looked at Huang Ya, who stretched her neck uneasily and waited for the news, and said. He knew that what Yang Yuyao said meant that he had agreed to this and had already thought about how to arrange the whereabouts of the two girls. It's just that he needs to go through a process, but Huang Ya obviously doesn't know. However, He Qianqing couldn't tell clearly, so he arranged something for her to do to divert her attention and make her less nervous.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Huang Ya took a deep breath and replied.

After about half a stick of incense, Huang Ya finally waited until Yang Yuyao came back.

"Huang Ya, you can hear clearly what I'm going to say next." Yang Yuyao said, and Huang Ya immediately knelt down.

"My slaves are all ears!" Huang Ya bowed to Yang Yuyao, but at least there was no need to kowtow anymore.

"First of all, I can help you advance the money to redeem your sister, but since you are already eighteen years old, it may take you more than forty years to pay off my debt. As far as I am concerned, it will take such a long time to wait for you. There was a chance I wouldn't get all the money back if I paid it off. So I decided to look for another option."

Huang Ya swallowed nervously. Although Yang Yuyao agreed to help her advance money to redeem her sister, she couldn't think of another plan proposed by Yang Yuyao.

"The plan is," Yang Yuyao said directly without giving in, "I will subtract ten taels of silver from the money you need to pay me back, and I will buy your two sisters as maids in the general's mansion. . After that, all the monthly money for you and your two sisters will not be paid, but will go directly to me until the debt is paid off. What do you think, do you accept this plan?" Yang Yuyao asked.

"I accept it, of course I am willing to accept it!" Huang Ya was so happy that she shed tears again with excitement. Her two younger sisters can also come to the General's Mansion, and they have a place to stay. Even if you are a servant or a slave, it is better than being in a place like that. What's more, the Yang family has always treated their servants well and never beat or scold them casually. Even if they don't have monthly money, they are much better than most servants.

"Okay, if your sisters don't agree with this, it's up to you to convince them." Yang Yuyao smiled slightly.

He originally wanted to redeem Huang Ya's two sisters, hire them, and then deduct their wages, but that would make their lives more difficult than the current plan. If hired, although the monthly salary will be higher than that of a slave, it does not include room and board. If you work in the General's Mansion, since it is inconvenient to get in and out, food and accommodation will be included, but currently there is no need for long-term or part-time workers in the General's Mansion.

For example, although Yang Yihua's good friend He Shunxin is currently employed by the Yang family, her current job is at one of the Yang family's properties. It's not too far from her home. She and her grandmother had their own house, no debts, and the compensation extracted from the Wu family. Now He Shunxin can live a good life without having to pay for food and accommodation.

But Huang Ya's two sisters have to bear debts. If they want to hire them, they need to find a place to live and solve the food problem by themselves, but a large part of their monthly salary will be deducted to pay off the debts. If they still have to pay for various living expenses, they may not even be able to afford food.

Another point is that these industries of the Yang family are located in the outer city due to factors such as land prices, personnel employment, transportation and guests. Being in the outer city means that the two of them may meet the guests they have received. They are not famous, which is a good thing for them to start a new life. But if they meet those people, their past may be forced to come to light.

What really made Yang Yuyao determined to use the plan he told Huang Ya now were some secrets that he learned after discussing with Yang Ningxiu. In the Xia Kingdom, most of the registered brothel women were convicts. Because the court did not want them to be ransomed so easily, the ransom was very high. It is too high for ordinary people to bear. But because of management difficulties, one size fits all. On the basis of this limit, the madam can continue to increase the price.

But there is a situation where the court allows these brothel girls to be obtained at a lower price, and that is to make these brothel girls into slaves. Slaves are considered the lowest in this world. Prostitutes can still redeem themselves. Slaves can only be freed by the kindness of their masters and the emperor's amnesty. Therefore, if these brothel girls are allowed to become slaves, someone will help take care of them. Therefore, the court supports this approach and even sets a maximum limit for purchasing them.

Those high-ranking officials who know this method of operation often use this method to make her their maid and then their concubine if they like a famous prostitute. But the girls in the brothel don't know such a secret, nor do the poor scholars who fall in love with the girls in the brothel. Therefore, whether you are redeeming yourself or someone else is helping to redeem your body, you can only pay the high price shouted by the madam.

Being able to get a lower price as a slave means that it will be easier for Yang Yuyao and Huang Ya to pay off their debts. As for their slave status, it can be erased from them after the debt is paid off. Of course, there is a possibility that the two girls are unwilling. If Huang Ya can't persuade them, then they can continue with the plan that Yang Yuyao thought of before.

"The second thing is that you will dress up as a man and go to the Nuanhong Pavilion with Uncle Zhou to buy your two sisters in your name. Uncle Zhou will tell you how to do it. Try to be smart." Yang Yuyao explained.

"Yes, I obey!" Huang Ya could hardly suppress the excitement in her heart, but she still tried her best not to lose her composure.

"Huh? Xiao Que'er is here. Huang Ya, please go back to your room with her to disguise yourself." Yang Yuyao said, and asked Huang Ya to open the door of the east wing.

At this time, there was a cute-looking maid standing outside. Her name was Xiaoqueer, and she was Yang Yuwei's personal maid. This girl has a great skill, which is her superb makeup skills. Although Yang Yuyao will give Huang Ya a disguise talisman later. But the more preparation you have, the less risk you will be exposed to.

"Little Que'er, I'm sorry to bother you!" Huang Ya said.

"You're welcome, let's go! I'm very well prepared. I'll surprise you, Sister Huang, in a moment!" Xiaoque'er patted a cloth bag she was carrying and said confidently. They both work in the main courtyard, and now they are very familiar with each other.

Like the east wing, the west wing of the main courtyard is actually equipped with a servant room, but the servant room in the east wing is occupied by servants who only serve Yang Yuyao, while the maids who serve Yang Yuwei and Yang Yuxuan live together. Lived in the servant's room in the west wing.

There are actually quite a few servants in the main courtyard. Just for the juniors of the Yang family, each of them is actually equipped with four servants to take care of their daily life. The normal arrangement is that two maids will take care of them in the house and two will wait for summons in the servant room. , and in some special circumstances, such as taking over the work of personal maids when they are sick. Although Yang Yuxuan and Yang Yuwei alone have so many maids, the younger generations of the Yang family seem to be the same as Yang Yuyao and don't like these maids following them. This resulted in these maids having little sense of existence, but no matter how much they existed, Yang Yuyao naturally got to know them all after so many days.

The living arrangements of the Yang family, or rather the residences of these monks and dignitaries in Xia Capital, would never appear in other countries. Like the Yang family, brothers and sisters can live in the same courtyard, and Yang Yuxuan and Yang Yuwei can live together. West Wing. But in other countries, where would a girl live with her brother? Both the east wing and the west wing are occupied by sons. The daughter lives in the house behind the main house, and her activities are generally limited to the narrow yard between the main house and that house.

Although there is such a small courtyard and a row of houses behind the main house of the General's Mansion, they are not used for living there. This courtyard has a high ceiling to keep out rain and snow. If the weather is not sunny for several days in a row, you can practice martial arts here. Some large crystals are specially embedded here to allow sunlight to penetrate into the courtyard to increase the lighting in the courtyard. The body of a monk is not as fragile as that of a mortal, and normal rain and snow have no effect, but there is still such a design, which is obviously the experience of a family of monks.

The row of houses behind the main house are training rooms. Compared with the house where I live, the courtyard is covered with a roof, so the light there is relatively dark during the day, but it is easier to calm down when used for practice.

Other wealthy families would not allow young servants to enter the inner house. You Shuangjiang said that before she got married, unless she went out to attend a banquet, the only men she could see at home were her father and brother, and she could hardly see even her uncles and grandfathers. The people who serve people in the inner house are all maids.

However, the young servants of the Yang family can enter the inner house, but they will be selected more carefully. When male members of the family reach the age of fifteen, they will arrange for a servant to help take care of things. The fact that the Yang family dares to do this is naturally related to the fact that everyone in the Yang family is a monk and has practiced martial arts since childhood. There is no need to worry about the girls in the family being bullied by the young boys who take advantage of him. Even if Teng Yu and Shen Ming started practicing martial arts because they wanted to follow Yang Yuyao to Yugui, they would not be able to withstand Yang Yuwei's punch. Not to mention other boys who are not practicing martial arts.

In fact, even though they knew that Yang Yuyao was at a very high level, Yang Ningxiu and Tao Yulian were worried about Yang Yuyao being taken advantage of, but they were not worried about Yang Yuwei, but they did not tell Yang Yuyao about their worries.

Yang Yuyao sat down on the stone bench under the magnolia tree in the main courtyard, and waited with He Qianqing for Huang Ya to finish her disguise. Yang Yuxuan and Yang Yuwei were also very curious about this, and sat down on Yang Yuyao even though they were already hungry. Next to Yu Yao was waiting for the answer to be revealed. After the four of them played a game of Feijianqi using Xunlian, they finally waited until Huang Ya and Xiao Queer came out.

"Brother, why are you so lucky? It's almost six o'clock every time." Yang Yuxuan, who had unexpectedly bad luck with the dice today, said weakly while lying on the stone table. Yang Yuyao's chess pieces have all returned, but he hasn't been able to start yet.

"Well, maybe today is particularly good?" Yang Yuyao, who has always been very lucky in playing games, replied perfunctorily, and then looked at Huang Ya, who was dressed as a man. "Yes, he looks very handsome."

"He's really handsome! He's just a little short." Yang Yuwei sighed.

"I also feel a little shorter." Yang Yuxuan said in agreement.

"Miss, Second Young Master, Sister Huang's current height is considered to be relatively normal among men in the Xia Kingdom. Not every man is as tall as your Yang family." Xiao Queer explained with a smile.

Huang Ya's height is not short among women, about a little over 1.6 meters. Xiaoque'er wore a pair of thick-soled boots for her, which made her height look closer to 1.7 meters. In addition, she was given a special dress to widen Huang Ya's shoulders, thicken her back, and add a corset to make Huang Ya's figure look closer to a man's.

However, Xiao Que'er must have considered that Huang Ya's height should not be raised too high, otherwise it would be difficult to adapt to walking and may cause problems, so she tried to dress Huang Ya up to look like a young boy. She also specially processed Huang Ya's eyebrows, sideburns and hairline to make Huang Ya look more like a man. Compared with Ye Qianqian's impeccable male appearance before, Huang Ya's appearance at this moment, if Yang Yuyao suddenly bumped into her outside, he might really think that she was a handsome young man.

"Huang Ya, these are the disguise talismans." Yang Yuyao handed the two talismans that appeared in his hand instantly to Huang Ya, who was dressed as a man. "You take one, and give the other to Uncle Zhou after you leave the inner house." , he will teach you how to use it.”

"I understand." Huang Ya took the talisman and put it away carefully. After saluting Yang Yuyao, he walked towards the Chuihua Gate with a determined expression.

"It's time for us to have dinner too." Yang Yuyao stood up and said. They had just seen that their dinner had been delivered to the main courtyard and was now laid out.
