Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife
#16 - Chapter 16 Maid Xiaoxia
Li Yuan walked over and said softly.
"Your name is Xiaoxia, right? Get up and talk."
Then he reached out and helped the girl up.
At this time, the Chu sisters were looking at Li Yuan, they were very curious about the girl's identity.
Li Yuan knew that if he didn't explain clearly, the Chu sisters would inevitably misunderstand.
So he told the two sisters how he bought Xiaoxia in the county town.
"I see."
Chu Wanjun was very fond of the girl when she heard that she sold herself to save her father.
After all, people who are so filial to their fathers must also be grateful people.
Xiao Zhu on the side was also very moved.
Xiaoxia is also very observant.
She quickly judged that Chu Wanjun should be Li Yuan's main wife.
She bowed and saluted, paying her respects to the mistress.
Then she saluted Xiaozhu again.
The two sisters quickly pulled her up.
At this time, Li Yuan asked Xiaoxia.
"Is your father's illness better?"
Xiaoxia saw Li Yuan ask about her father's condition first, and was a little moved, so she said.
"My father is much better, thanks to the money given by the master."
"The doctor prescribed a few doses of medicine, and my father took the medicine, and his body is fine."
Li Yuan nodded.
"That's good."
"Xiaoxia, you came just in time, come and have dinner together."
Xiaoxia hurriedly said.
"This servant dare not."
"Just give me some of what the master has left over."
In Da Liang, the servants in the family cannot eat at the same table with the master.
Even as a mountain person, Xiaoxia knows this rule.
Li Yuan smiled.
"Since you recognize me as the master, then you have to listen to me."
"My family's rule is to eat together, come here."
Li Yuan's family's dinner was a pot of vegetable soup and two plates of pickles.
And a large pot of millet rice.
Xiaoxia sat nervously aside.
Chu Wanjun filled Xiaoxia with a bowl of millet rice.
She also poured vegetable soup and pickles on the rice.
"Xiaoxia, eat."
Xiaoxia nodded quickly.
"Thank you, master."
The sweet millet rice entered her mouth, and Xiaoxia was very satisfied.
She and her father in the mountains are often hungry and full, often starving.
"I sewed this for you, master, would you like to try if they fit?"
Li Yuan took the leather boots sewn by Xiaoxia and his eyes lit up.
After he came to the Da Liang Dynasty, he usually wears straw sandals.
That is, straw shoes.
These straw shoes will rub your feet very much if you wear them for a long time.
And the service life is not long, and it is easy to break.
These leather boots feel very soft to the touch.
Although it is not as delicate as later generations of leather boots, it is made of real materials, and the stitches are very dense.
Li Yuan put on the boots and walked two steps in the house, feeling very comfortable.
Li Yuan was happy and said to Xiaoxia.
"Not bad, Xiaoxia, you have a heart."
"I am very satisfied."
Seeing that the master liked it, Xiaoxia was also happy.
After eating, it was dark.
Chu Wanjun was about to arrange a place for Xiaoxia to live.
Xiaoxia said.
"Master, mistress, my body is very good."
"I have slept in wild caves in the mountains."
"I can live in the wood shed in the yard."
Saying that, she moved some dry grass to go to the wood shed.
Li Yuan did not allow it.
"You are a woman, and it may not be afraid to catch a cold when you are young now."
"But when you get older, your body will get sick."
"Tonight, you will live in the west room with Xiaozhu first."
"Be good."
Seeing that her master was about to get angry.
Xiaoxia also obediently moved to the west room to live.
After turning off the lights at night.
Xiaoxia was uneasy because she was in a new place and felt a little uneasy, always tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
Xiao Zhu on the side teased her and said.
"Xiaoxia, what are you doing? Could it be that you are listening to the sounds of the east room?"
Xiaoxia opened her ignorant eyes and asked.
"Yes, what are the master and mistress doing?"
She was brought up by her father since she was a child, and she really doesn't understand the affairs of men and women.
Xiao Zhu was stunned at first, and then laughed.
She wanted to tease this new little maid, so she said.
"You silly girl, don't you even know this."
"I think you are also a good body to have children."
"My husband bought you, you will have to sleep with the husband sooner or later."
"When the time comes, you have to give the husband more children and grandchildren."
Hearing this, Xiaoxia finally understood, and her face flushed red.
Her mother died early, and she lived with her father in the mountains.
She was raised as a boy since she was a child, and she doesn't understand many things.
Now that she made a joke, Xiaoxia didn't dare to ask questions randomly.
The next morning.
Li Yuan just got up.
He heard a "bang bang" sound from the yard.
He opened the window and saw that it was Xiaoxia chopping firewood in the yard.
In this era of Da Liang, heating and burning wood are relied on.
The daily demand is very large.
But chopping firewood is a heavy physical work.
When the Chu sisters did not marry Li Yuan, they worked hard every day by chopping firewood with a broken firewood knife.
Li Yuan has been chopping these days since the marriage.
Today, the person chopping firewood has become the maid Xiaoxia.
Li Yuan looked at Xiaoxia waving the axe, her strength was not inferior to that of a man, and she quickly chopped enough firewood for two or three days.
After chopping the firewood, Xiaoxia used a carrying pole to pick up the wooden bucket and went out to fetch water.
She went back and forth several times until the water tank in the yard was full.
Looking at Xiaoxia who was working hard in the yard early in the morning.
Li Yuan nodded very satisfied, this so diligent maid, three or two taels of silver is really worth buying.
After eating breakfast.
Li Yuan called Xiaoxia over and asked her to go to Qingyuan County with him.
He discussed it with Chu Wanjun last night.
Instead of giving the villagers copper coins, it is better to give them food.
Now it is a famine year, and food is more likely to make the villagers grateful.
In addition, now that Xiaoxia is here, and the population has increased, the food at home needs to be stocked up more.
So today is to go to the city to buy food.
Li Yuan and Xiaoxia each carried a bamboo basket.
Li Yuan brought a full ten strings of money this time, and one string of copper coins weighs almost ten pounds.
And these ten strings of money weigh a hundred pounds.
If Xiaoxia hadn't been with him, it would have been really difficult to carry this money.
There was no words along the way, the two of them walked not slowly, and arrived in the county town before noon.
After showing the gatekeeper the soldier's household waist card, and paying two copper plates each for the city entrance fee.
He entered the county town with Xiaoxia.
This time, the main purpose is to buy food.
Li Yuan naturally went to the grain market in the south of the county town first.
There is a whole street of grain shops here.
Looking around, there are constant mule and horse carts on the street, and most of the carts are piled with bulging grain bags.
Li Yuan walked around a few shops and roughly looked at the grain prices here first.
Now it is a famine year, and it is also a time when the new and old crops are not connected. To be honest, the grain price in Qingyuan County is not low.
Among them, rice is the most expensive, and one stone of rice, which is 120 pounds, costs two strings of money, even coarse rice costs one string and five.
Wheat is cheaper, one stone is about 700 to 800 coins.
And miscellaneous grains such as millet are about 500 to 600 coins.
