Chapter 467: Chapter 466: Add an Adjoining Room Maid? _1
"Hmm, wait a bit, let’s nap a little more before we get up."
Seizing the opportunity, Su Pan’er clung to him, hugging his waist tightly and refusing to let go. "Hurry, sleep with me a little longer, okay? Okay?"
"Okay, we’ll nap a little more!"
Qin Yi had never seen Su Pan’er plead with such soft words before. He instantly felt a numb, tingling sensation in his bones, promptly agreed to her request with a nod and happily laid back down with her, his face beaming in a grin.
In the end, this little rest turned out to last for quite a while before the two of them got up.
Su Pan’er had injured her foot, making it incredibly inconvenient for her to move around. Thankfully, Qin Yi was attentive, quickly bringing her clothes and even helping her change into them.
However, at this moment, Su Pan’er felt embarrassed!
From last night until now, she hadn’t needed to relieve herself. Now, her lower abdomen was uncomfortably swollen. But how was she supposed to go to the latrine? She had no choice but to ask Qin Yi to help her to the adjoining room to relieve herself, leaving her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
She suddenly remembered what Qin Yi said last night.
Things that her own mother couldn’t do, but she could trust her servants to do.
She immediately decided in her heart that she must buy some servants and train them properly, to avoid a chaotic scene when she gave birth in the future.
Jun Ruoxue had sent people to look for them twice in the morning. On the third time, finally seeing them up and about, she invited them over to her yard for breakfast.
After having something to eat, Qin Yi hurriedly went out to attend to his duties.
Su Pan’er couldn’t avoid being teased by Xue’er, which only embarrassed her even more, turning her cheeks rosy and appealing, like a fully ripe apple.
Afterward, Su Pan’er spoke about her desire to buy some servants for help.
"That’s easy, we can just ask Chief Ran to help us. He has quite a few older women on his roster. When we first came to Yongze County, we also bought people from him."
As Jun Ruoxue spoke, she instructed Zi Lan, who quickly retreated.
Soon, Chief Ran was summoned.
Chief Ran was familiar with both of them, so when he learned that Su Pan’er wanted to buy servants, he recommended a few to her after some thought.
"There’s Mrs. Zhou from the east of the town, Mrs. Wu from the south, and Wang Family’s old woman from the west, all of them are quite good."
Chief Ran subtly glanced at Su Pan’er’s stomach, implying in his words: "They usually buy people, train them thoroughly, and then sell them to others who need them. No matter what kind of servant you want to buy, and for what purpose, they have it all."
"In that case, could you please bring them to me, Chief Ran? Just tell them that I want to choose a few suitable helping hands."
"Yes, Madame Qin, please wait a moment."
With that, Chief Ran swiftly left.
Su Pan’er’s drooping eyes darkened, but she didn’t say much.
Jun Ruoxue seemed to struggle to find the right words: "Sister Pan’er, are you really planning... planning on adding a concubine to Brother-in-law Qin’s household?"
"Adding a concubine? Why do you ask that?"
Su Pan’er asked curiously.
"Well, you’re pregnant now, so naturally... naturally..."
After stuttering for a while, Jun Ruoxue gave Su Pan’er a glare with a blushing face,"Sister Pan’er, you’re terrible. I...I don’t want to talk to you anymore!"
Upon saying that, she stomped her foot and ran to the other end of the yard, turning her back on them.
Su Pan’er wanted to laugh, but couldn’t.
Last night when Qin Yi mentioned adding more hands, she was overjoyed, feeling as though it were a sign of his considerate nature.
But now, she couldn’t manage to be happy at all!
It turned out during this era, when a woman was pregnant, it was common to add more helping hands and even take on a concubine! And this concubine was specifically for warming the bed of the head of the house when his pregnant wife was unable to!
The idea of enduring the suffering of pregnancy and childbirth while her man laid comfortably under the red canopy, basking in the spring breeze, made Su Pan’er feel a sharp pain in her teeth!
"I despise men so much, I wish I could cut off that wicked thing of theirs, see how they dare to mess around!"
However, she could take this opportunity to test him...
To find out whether he was sincere or not...
Jun Ruoxue turned her back for a while before finally looking back. Seeing the changing pale face of Su Pan’er, she knew that she had understood her words.
She quickly leaned in and gently nudged her with her elbow: "Sister Pan’er, don’t be upset. It’s just a few concubines, what’s the big deal? If you don’t like them, simply buy them back and give them a dose of medicine. If you become dissatisfied with them in the future, just sell them off."
Seeing Jun Ruoxue talk about these matters so lightly and dismissively was completely different from her usual delicate and cute image.
This made Su Pan’er squint her eyes involuntarily, scrutinizing her.
Come to think of it, Jun Ruoxue was, after all, from a wealthy family. No matter how much her parents doted on her, she probably knew all she needed to know.
At this thought, a cold light flashed in her eyes!
She had made up her mind.
"Xue’er, thank you for telling me all this."
"Why thank me, we’re good sisters, teehee!"
Jun Ruoxue playfully winked at her.
This made Su Pan’er feel dazed for a moment, unable to discern which face truly belonged to her.
Chief Ran quickly reported back, saying a few women had been brought in.
Jun Ruoxue then led Su Pan’er to a waterside pavilion to sit for a while and meet the women they were going to buy.
The pavilion in the deep autumn was surrounded by trees ablaze with fiery red leaves. The white jade railing reflected dazzling starlight under the autumn sun, and above the withered lotus leaves in the pond, large lotus pods protruded above the water, heavily.
Old women Zhou, Wu, and Wang stood at the edge of the flower stage below, smiling towards the two of them.
Jun Ruoxue picked up a piece of Gold Thread Preserves from the stone table and ate it before looking at Su Pan’er: "Sister Pan’er, the people are here, how would you like to choose?"
Su Pan’er had already made up her mind early on.
"I suppose all three nannies brought people, right? Fortunately, there’s a lot of room here, so let’s bring them all up and let me take a look."
The choice of people, the number of useful ones, would depend on seeing them first.
If she was not satisfied with the choice, wouldn’t that just bring her trouble?
The three Old Women were quick on their feet, and soon, a group of people filed in, standing behind the three Old Women.
There were men, women, old and young, all sorts of people.
"Sister Pan’er, what are you looking for first?"
Jun Ruoxue came over to ask again.
"Let’s start by choosing a few women who can do heavy chores like cooking and washing."
Su Pan’er casually said this, sweeping her gaze over the crowd.
These so-called people traders are all sly foxes. As soon as they heard they needed women for heavy chores, they turned around and motioned to the crowd, and women from their respective groups stepped forward.
What could Su Pan’er see with such a casual sweep?
"Don’t just stand there, from left to right, you are to step forward and say your name, age, place of birth, how many people are in your family, and what you are good at."
Jun Ruoxue’s eyes lit up!
This method was indeed good.
Very quickly, a line of people stepped forward to introduce themselves.
