First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Two days later, Wei Ling really took time out to invite Su Jixiang to go out together.

It was the first time that Su Jixiang and Wei Ling walked together on the streets of Mangcheng.

There were many people in Mangcheng who knew Wei Ling, and they would greet him every two steps along the way.

Although Wei Ling looked indifferent, those people still saluted enthusiastically. However, they would not come forward, nor would they greet him, nor would they ask what the relationship between Su Jixiang and Wei Ling was.

Su Jixiang thought this was good. After all, she felt awkward walking with Wei Ling. Now that Wei Ling's attention was drawn to the greetings, she seemed relatively relaxed.

Su Jixiang was brought by Wei Ling to a house.

"This is..." Su Jixiang looked at the gate. It didn't look very eye-catching. It was not in the bustling center, but a little off the gate. It looked very quiet. There was a big tree at the gate. It was winter now, and it was covered with snow. It was impossible to tell what kind of tree it was.

"This is the house I bought." Wei Ling said slowly.

He opened the front door and walked in with Su Jixiang.

This is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits. It is not big, but it is very spacious to live in. There is also a backyard, which is very large and has an abandoned pond... There is also a pavilion beside the pond.

"I bought this place secretly a few years ago." Wei Ling said after taking Su Jixiang for a tour. "At that time, I only had so much money, and I could only buy a house this big."

After saying that, he stopped and looked at Su Jixiang, "If you think this place is not good enough, I can change to a bigger one."

"That's good enough!" Su Jixiang was stunned, then immediately said, "No need to change it! There are only two of us living here, why would we need such a big room? It's too tiring to clean it every day!"

Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang deeply, and his deep gaze made Su Jixiang's face turn red for no reason.

"I mean... this is where we're going to live after we get married..." Su Jixiang explained quickly, stuttering a little... She probably didn't misunderstand...

"Yes." Wei Ling nodded, "But even if I change to a bigger one, you don't need to clean it. I will ask the human traffickers to buy some people to help."

Su Jixiang only felt his face getting hotter.

Although she liked to hear this, she always felt that it was a little unreal...

In fact, she had never had any idea about the arranged marriage. Even though others had been talking about it from the capital until now, Wei Ling had not taken any actual action, so she did not take it seriously.

Today, Wei Ling brought her here, showed her the house, and told her how to live in the future. Only then did she truly have a practical concept of the word marriage.

After getting married, two people will really live together...

Su Jixiang was a little uneasy.

She has lived for two lifetimes and has never been married.

"Are you afraid of me?" Seeing Su Jixiang's uneasiness, Wei Ling couldn't help but frown.

"Ah?" Su Jixiang raised his eyes and met Wei Ling's icy eyes. "No."

She had even seen Wei Ling "dancing striptease" in front of her before, so why should she be afraid of him?

Her anxiety comes from fear of the unknown.

She didn't know what she would become after getting married...

She hasn't even really fallen in love with Wei Ling yet, and they are about to get married!

"That's good." Wei Ling said calmly, "I don't hit my own women. You don't have to be afraid of me."

Su Jixiang...

If you dare to hit me, I will beat you to death!

"Since you are satisfied with this place, let's go buy some furniture." Wei Ling said to Su Jixiang, "and buy a few servants." He paused and said, "But we are of special status, so you should listen to me when buying servants."

"Oh." Su Jixiang nodded. You are the boss, you have the final say. It's you who pays anyway, so you can buy a man made of gold if you want.

There are only three furniture stores in Mangcheng, and after going through all of them, there are only a few styles.

After all, this is the borderland and there are not many options.

So Su Jixiang chose some practical and comfortable items. After all, in ancient times, they were all solid wood furniture without any adulteration.

Wei Ling picked out a large carved bed, which was the largest and most solid of all the beds.

Su Jixiang didn't know why he couldn't bear to look at the bed, and even felt a little shy...

Not daring to think about anything else, Su Jixiang grabbed Wei Ling, who had paid, and ran away like the wind.

Next, Wei Ling took Su Jixiang to the dental clinic.

Su Jixiang had never been to such a place before, and everything seemed new to her. She looked around, and after she finished looking around, she felt a little uncomfortable.

This is similar to the places that sell pet dogs in modern times. People are locked in wooden fences for customers to choose, separated by gender, old and young. Most of them have dull eyes, but some smart ones will quickly move closer when they see people coming. If they think the owner is good enough, they will show themselves to the best of their ability.

Su Jixiang was not being pretentious, she knew that this was the way things were in this era, but after seeing the real scene, she still felt a bit physically and psychologically uncomfortable.

So she was even more thankful that she had not fallen to this point...

Wei Ling selected three men and two women, all of whom were sold with death indentures, which meant that they would be members of the Wei family in both life and death.

Among the three men, two are relatively young, only fifteen years old, and seem to be in good shape. Although they are skinny and have only a few pounds of meat on their bodies, as long as they get enough nutrition, they should grow strong.

There was another one who was a little older, about twenty years old, who could read and count. Men of this age were originally the most difficult to deal with, but Wei Ling bought one anyway.

The other two women were both about 30 years old, very honest and obedient, and both knew how to embroider and work as maids. Wei Ling seemed to have specifically asked this question, and he looked at several women before choosing these two.

Speaking of Su Jixiang, I feel a little guilty.

She is a good cook, but she is terrible at housekeeping.

Her hands were only fit for holding kitchen knives, not embroidery needles. As soon as she picked up an embroidery needle, her fingers would automatically become stiff...

Once people have bought the goods and completed the formalities, they can take them away.

Su Jixiang and Wei Ling walked in front, followed by the servants they had just bought from the traffickers. She couldn't help but whisper to Wei Ling, "How do you know I'm not good at housework?"

"I was making a vest on the way here, and your stitches are messier than a drunkard's footsteps." Wei Ling said calmly.

Su Jixiang...

He saw all this? So he was spying on me all the time?

"As long as my cooking is delicious, that's all!" Su Jixiang said calmly.

Wei Ling did not comment.

Wei Ling brought all the people he bought to his house and first renamed them. The two younger ones were named Wei Feng and Wei Jing, and the older one was renamed Wei Dong. As for the two women, one was named Guihua and the other was named Lushui.
