After the princess entered the palace, the war god prince broke his back

Chu Ziyu frowned as he looked at the pale and ragged people Chu Nanyue brought back. "Ayue, who are they?"

Xiao Tao said with a pained look, "Master, this is the servant that I bought from the human tooth market at a huge expense!"

She was secretly upset. In just four years, the value of this servant had increased several times, yet he actually cost ten taels of silver each.

Ten taels of silver are enough to cover the annual expenses of employing a poor family.

Now, not only do I have to spend money to buy it, but I have to spend extra money, which is definitely twice as much.

Chu Nanyue frowned: "Layout, layout, we need to open up the layout!"

Chu Ziyu understood, and he spoke for Chu Nanyue: "From now on, you are the life contract of our Chu family. We don't have so many rules in our family. We only value loyalty. From now on, you will work in this store. Not only will we make sure you have enough food and drink, and cotton clothes in winter, but we will also pay you wages higher than the market price. But you all have to keep your hands and feet clean. If I catch anyone with ulterior motives, I will beat you to death!"

Although the three brothers and sisters were stuck in the mud, they were blessed by the emperor. They were poor people, but better off than slaves. The young men in front of them were skinny and had dark eyes. It was obvious that they had suffered some inhuman torture.

But this is reality!

If you want to change the reality of the survival of the fittest, you have to wait for opportunities! But most people can never get rid of the shackles of their status.

Chu Ziyu's eyes were bright and sharp.

The whole room of servants knelt on the ground, shocked and terrified.

Xiaotao also knelt down instinctively.

Chu Nanyue: "......"

She whispered, "You are different from them. I have burned your death contract a long time ago. You are now a member of our Chu family!"

Xiao Tao looked up in surprise, moved beyond words, but her legs were weak when she thought about it...

She is really afraid of the eldest son...

Chu Nanyue couldn't bear to watch, so she turned to look at her eldest brother and secretly gave him a thumbs up. She knew that her eldest brother had an extraordinary vision and mind.

It's just that over the years, it has lost its brilliance due to the burden of life.

She knew that deep down he had always been the eldest son of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion who was full of vigor and vitality!

Her elder brother had the upper hand, so she played the good cop: "Now that you have joined our Chu family, let's not talk about the past anymore. I'm going to give you a new name. Our hot pot restaurant is called Cang Yue. You are the first batch of veteran waiters, so you will be named after that. Cang Yi, Cang Er... in the order I bought you, and so on. After a year, if you want to stay, we welcome you. If there are others who want to find better jobs, we won't force you. I will return your deeds to you!"

The main focus is on using both kindness and severity!

"I would like to thank you, Master, and Miss for giving us a new life. We will work hard to repay you, Master and Miss!"

"Shi Tou, take them downstairs to wash and buy two sets of cotton clothes for each of them. After they have eaten and drunk enough, let them have a good rest for a day and arrange for them to go back to work tomorrow!"

The servants were so moved that they burst into tears and secretly vowed to repay their master.

"Yes!" Shitou and Yourongyan led a group of servants down.

Afterwards, Chu Ziyu asked Chu Nanyue to go home and rest, and he stayed in Cangyue Hotpot Restaurant for the next two days to prepare for the store's affairs.

Although he is busy, he feels that this is life, not that of a useless person who can do nothing and just waits to die!

Chu Nanyue couldn't sit still either, so she took Xiaotao to buy some ingredients for making vinegar and went home to make vinegar.

When Xiao Hanye returned from the military camp, before he even set foot in Beiyuan, he smelled an indescribable smell coming from the Chu Mansion, and it seemed that something was simmering in the pot.

He wanted to see what new things that woman Chu Nanyue was tinkering with.

He raised his leg to step in, but was interrupted.

"My Lord, you are back. You must have been exhausted from the long journey. I have prepared a bath for you. Take a bath and relieve your fatigue!"

"Who are you?" Xiao Hanye was stunned and frowned.

Suddenly, he remembered.

This is the beauty he asked Fengchuan to find for him!

After he went to the military camp that day with a heart full of anger, he stayed in the camp ever since.

He had no place to vent his anger, so he started to torture his soldiers and doubled the intensity of the training. It was said that he was a man who suddenly got excited and wanted to eat meat, but his wedding was not yet coming, so he could only use his energy that had nowhere to go on them.

How innocent are they?

But seeing the generals being unilaterally beaten down by the Grand Marshal during a martial arts competition was truly horrific!

They felt inexplicably satisfied.

You know, they are usually scolded badly by their own generals.

In short, seeing that others are living a more miserable life than myself makes me feel balanced.

But soon, they became unbalanced again.

Because gradually, some generals with sharp eyes quietly hid themselves away.

For example, Qin Siang and his ilk.

Fortunately, after a period of brutal training, their commander-in-chief suddenly found his conscience and left...

Xiao Hanye turned and walked towards his mansion, the corners of his inky clothes fluttering in the setting sun.

Mother Meng was cooking grains in a pot in the kitchen.

However, Chu Nanyue's young friends couldn't stand the boredom, so they put out some fruits and snacks and gathered around a table to play mahjong.

Chu Nanyue, Su Xi, Xiangxiang and Xiaotao are just the right four women to make up a good show.

Xiang Xiang: "Why hasn't the eldest master come back yet?"

Xiao Tao was lucky: "The eldest master will not only not come back today, but he will not come back in the next few days!"

Xiang Xiang put down her mahjong and said, "How can that be possible? How can the eldest son live in a hot pot restaurant? No, I'll go pick him up!"

Chu Nanyue glanced at Su Xi and saw that she was concentrating on playing cards, as if she didn't hear their conversation. She couldn't help but frowned and opened her red lips slightly: "Sister Xiangxiang thinks you can persuade my eldest brother?"

Xiang Xiang stopped playing and sat back down, continuing to play cards with a dejected look on her face: "The eldest master is a man of his word, and I can't persuade him. Well, I'll go and bring him some food later!"

There was no way she could persuade Chu Ziyu, who was so stubborn.

Not only was he unable to persuade her, he even rarely spoke to her.

In fact, how could she not know that her background was not good enough for him, but her heart was already in his, she was just following her heart, and she had never thought about doing anything with him? As long as she thought about it, she felt it was a blasphemy to him.

For a man with such a handsome face and a strong will, she just wanted to stay by his side like a servant!

After saying that, she calmly glanced at Su Xi who was concentrating on playing cards across from her, and a look of envy mixed with jealousy flashed in her seductive almond-shaped eyes.

She has a stunning appearance, noble family background, the demeanor of a legitimate daughter, and is graceful and elegant... There is nothing wrong with her. She satisfies all the fantasies of men in the world about women. This must be the type that the eldest son likes.

Maybe he doesn't even know it himself.

But she knew that only when facing Su Xi would his eyes reveal that strange light...

"Meal? Dinner?" Chu Nanyue was suddenly stunned.

Did she seem to have promised Xiao Yihang to cook more dinner tonight?

But the pot at home was occupied tonight, so these beauty-loving ladies agreed to eat less and lose weight!

hoohoo!

Prince Chen, why don't you lose some weight too?

Regular fasting is good for your health!

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

"Sister-in-law, what are you cooking in this pot? I can't wait to taste it!"
