Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Yuewen was afraid that her benefactor would not like others to cry, so she immediately stopped the tears that were about to fall. The sparkling tears hung in her eyes, and there was even a snot bubble on her nose.
Jian Qingqing burst out laughing.
Liu Yuewen lowered her head in embarrassment and anger. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the things on her face clean.
It’s over, it’s over. Will my benefactor think that I’m dirty? She really did not do it on purpose. She did not know how she became like this. She was anxious and annoyed, afraid that Jian Qingqing would dislike her.
Seeing that the little girl was about to cry again, Jian Qingqing also felt that her laugh just now was not the right time. She quickly changed the topic and said, “Oh right, are your injuries better?”
Hearing that her benefactor was concerned about her, Liu Yuewen’s face flushed red. She quickly nodded and said, “They are almost healed!”
“That’s good then. You should recuperate well and wait for your injuries to recover before you leave. When the time comes, I will give you a sum of money. You can do whatever you want to do. Oh right, have you thought about where you want to go in the future?
Liu Yuewen shook her head and hurriedly said, “I don’t want to go anywhere! Princess, can you take me in as your servant? I can do anything. I can even sign a contract to sell myself. I just want to serve you, please!”
Liu Yuewen also felt that her words were very abrupt, but when she heard that she was going to leave, her heart became anxious, and she said what was on her mind without caring about anything else.
Jian Qingqing was very surprised that she had such a thought. In this era, if it was not a particularly difficult family, it was impossible to sell oneself as a slave, because it would be very difficult to return to freedom, and the descendants would also be slaves.
“I don’t lack maids by my side. You can go wherever you want to go. If there is really no good place to go, I’ll get someone to find a job for you. By then, you can also support yourself.”
Liu Yuewen shook her head imploringly. “I don’t want to go anywhere. I beg you, Princess!”
Jian Qingqing sighed. It was indeed difficult for women in this era to live. If she did not have a family, even if she found a job for someone, it might become a bad thing.
“Alright then, I won’t accept your indenture contract. You can go to my courtyard and be a second-class servant girl. Just treat it as me hiring you. Is that okay?”
Liu Yuewen was afraid that Jian Qingqing would go back on her words, so she nodded frantically. “This servant is willing!’
Jian Qingqing got someone to take her down to wash up and then left. She still had to go to the suburbs to take a look at her farm. Previously, she had sent people to various places to look for seeds, but now some of them had returned.
She had to plan how to plant these seeds. Although it was not the planting season, it was not impossible to use them for experiments. This way, she could avoid the flowering period of rice and wheat planted in other months.
The farm was quite big, and there was even a courtyard built on it.
When she arrived, Old Man Jian was busy with the people in the farm. Seeing her arrive, Old Man Jian said happily, “Why is big sister here?”
When the people in the farm heard that the princess had arrived, they hurriedly bowed.
Jian Qingqing waved her hand to let them get up. Then, she said to Old Man Jian, “I’m just here to take a look!”
Old Man Jian knew his granddaughter’s character. She would not move if she could. At this time, she must be here for something important. However, since her granddaughter did not say, he did not ask further, he smiled and said, “There are ripe wild fruits on the mountain. If you want to eat them, go and pick them! Have fun!”
Jian Qingqing waved her hand. “Got it!”
She looked at the mountain not far away. It was almost June, and there were indeed many fruits on it. It was already the season for ripening. A gust of wind blew, and the fruits were fragrant..
