With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly
Chapter 197 Yuan Qianqian sells her maid
"Princess, these are all yours from now on!"
There are all good things in here, and there are also 100,000 taels of silver notes.
Yuan Qianqian smiled and nodded, "It's mine."
"Princess, you will be a small landlady in the future."
"Xi Qiu, just tell me what you want to eat or wear in the future, and I'll buy it for you."
Xi Qiu suffered so much following her in the past, and now that I have money, I must compensate her well.
"Thank you, Princess." Xi Qiu was delighted at first, but then frowned, "But Princess, I have good food and clothes now, so I don't have anything to buy. You should put these things away. Maybe they will be used in many places in the future!"
"Okay, I'll listen to Xi Qiu."
Although the other people from Da Yuan had left, several palace maids who had previously served Yuan Qianqian remained.
When the palace maids saw that their "real" master had left them here, they were all angry and scared.
They had originally listened to Yuan Yingtang's words, and not only did they fail to serve Yuan Qianqian wholeheartedly, they had also ridiculed her.
Ever since Yuan Qianqian proposed to marry Ruan Ning'an, they knew that this princess was not as easy to bully as she seemed.
Now that their backers are gone, what should they do?
So everyone is like a mouse with its tail between its legs, working diligently but also extremely cautiously.
Xi Qiu looked at the shiny house and spotless yard, and said with some emotion, "It turns out that these people can be so diligent!"
Yuan Qianqian, who was reading a book on the couch nearby, smiled and said, "If they can let those who rely on others' power leave, they must keep their tails between their legs and behave themselves."
After the last conversation with Ruan Ning'an, Yuan Qianqian knew that he was knowledgeable and well-read, while she only knew how to read. In order to be worthy of him, she asked Xi Qiu to buy a lot of books.
Fortunately, she also likes reading. She didn’t have the opportunity before, but now she finally has the opportunity and she must cherish it.
"Princess, with the way they treated you before, who knows what they will do in the future! Do you really want them to continue serving you?"
Yuan Qianqian shook her head. "Of course not. I wouldn't dare to hire someone like them who sits on the fence."
As she said that, she put down the book in her hand, stood up and took off her coat, "Xi Qiu, I'm going to rest for a while. Don't let anyone disturb me. Come out with me this afternoon."
"Yes, princess."
Seeing Yuan Qianqian closing her eyes, Xi Qiu walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
In the afternoon, after Yuan Qianqian woke up, she wanted to take Xi Qiu out. The maid who had previously looked down on her hurriedly followed her with a flattering smile on her face.
"Princess, are you going out? Will Xi Qiu be able to serve you well alone? Will the servants follow you?"
"Yes, yes, how can we follow alone?"
Xi Qiu rolled her eyes. She had taken good care of the princess by herself before.
Yuan Qianqian glanced at them indifferently. Although it was light, there was an inexplicable sense of oppression. The maids were frightened by her eyes and took a step back.
"No need, Xi Qiu will follow me."
The maids thought her eyes were a little scary and were afraid of angering her, so they didn't dare to follow her.
Xi Qiu followed behind Yuan Qianqian and made faces at the maids. When he saw their expressions change, he turned his head happily.
As a princess of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Qianqian could still live in the inn before she married Ruan Ningan, and there were guards outside to protect her safety.
When she went out, she brought two guards with her.
As soon as she left the post station, she asked the coachman to take her directly to the pawnshop, bought four docile and well-behaved little girls and brought them back to the post station.
As soon as she arrived at her own courtyard, the maids came up to her one after another.
"Princess, you are back."
"Princess, you must be tired from shopping! I will help you."
"Princess, the cook at the post station has just brought over some mung bean porridge. It's refreshing and will quench your thirst."
Yuan Qianqian ignored them and turned to look behind her. "Madam Liu, these are the six people. What do you think?"
When Lady Liu saw them, her eyes lit up immediately. These people were good-looking, with fair skin and delicate flesh, and they were prettier than many concubines of wealthy families.
I originally thought that ten taels of silver was too much for this girl, but now I see that she made a profit.
Madam Liu was so happy that her eyes, which were not big to begin with, narrowed into slits.
"Miss, let's do as you said. Ten taels of silver."
Afraid that Yuan Qianqian would go back on her word, she quickly took out sixty taels of silver from her purse and gave it to Yuan Qianqian.
Yuan Qianqian handed the indenture to Madam Liu.
"Take the people away now!"
Madam Liu was waiting for this sentence. As soon as Yuan Qianqian said it, she waved her arm.
"Come here, take these six girls back."
When the six maids saw this, they were immediately panicked. They thought the fourth princess had sold them out!
They were all sold into the palace when they were young, and they knew how dangerous the women in the pimping business were, especially those like them who had received etiquette training and had relatively good looks.
There is a possibility that she will be sold to a brothel, where she will be slept with by thousands of men.
They all knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
"Princess, we are wrong. Please don't sell us."
"Princess, I have always been blind to the truth. I hope you will forgive me."
"Princess, please don't sell us. We will work like slaves for you in the future."
They do look pitiful now, but Yuan Qianqian is afraid that they will cause her great harm in the future, or that there are pawns of the Yuan Dynasty among them.
The Yiyong Marquis' Mansion is not an ordinary family. Since it has broken with the Yuan Dynasty, it must break cleanly.
"Madam Liu, take them all away!"
"Yes."
The maids crying on the ground were taken away by the thugs brought by Madam Liu. They struggled not to leave, but these thugs were all strong and healthy, and these delicate maids could not resist.
The four girls who were bought back felt a little scared when they found out that Yuan Qianqian was a princess.
Yuan Qianqian also noticed it, but she didn't intend to appease them. She just took the opportunity to criticize them.
"Loyalty is what this princess values most. If you betray me, you will end up like those people just now, or even worse. Do you understand?"
The four maids quickly knelt down to show their loyalty, "We understand."
Seeing that her intimidation worked, Yuan Qianqian nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, everyone get up!"
"Xi Qiu, take them down and make arrangements for them. Teach them some etiquette and manners."
It's obvious that these girls are from poor families and they have definitely never learned any etiquette.
"Yes, princess."
In the next few days, Xiqiu taught them etiquette in the morning and let them practice on their own in the afternoon and go to the streets to inquire about some situations.
Yuan Qianqian has been obsessed with reading recently. Except for meals and walks, she spends the rest of her time reading in the house or study.
These few days, she truly lived the life of a princess.
There was no one to find fault, the maids were respectful, and there were delicious meals prepared by the inn's cook every day.
The cook at the post station can prepare hundreds of meals and various pastries. Yuan Qianqian can just tell the cook what she wants to eat.
