Song Gexing

Chapter 43 Get Half

A maid is different from a concubine, let alone a master attendant. Just like a maid from a wealthy family, she is just a maid serving her master.

Don't think that you can do whatever you want with a maid. Slaves were not allowed in the Song Dynasty. Although the common people's maids were bought, they could never be said to be bought officially.

It is a contractual employment relationship, and the status is lower than that of a concubine. However, if you go to the official, a maid cannot be bought or sold, and her status is freer than that of a concubine.

Of course, this is a covert approach, but after all, the law clearly stipulates that the master can command the maid, but he cannot forcefully have sex with the maid.

The status as a prime minister is no exception. The later prime minister Chen Zhizhong was accused and the prime minister stepped down because his maid Ying'er was abused by his wife and died.

Therefore, if Zhao Fang wants to get Zhao Pan'er, she can only do it voluntarily, otherwise she may be stabbed out by someone, and it will be another mess.

"Empress, Empress Yu, my maid has something to ask of you. I wonder if you can tell me?"

Just as Queen Cao designated two plump women and was about to ask the others to step aside, Zhao Pan'er took a step forward and hesitated to summon up the courage to speak.

When Empress Cao saw that it was her, her eyes showed tenderness, and after waving her hands to signal the female officer who was about to step forward to stop her, she said gently, "Tell me, if I can do what I can, I will promise you."

"Thank you, empress, for your kindness!"

After Zhao Pan'er thanked her first, he reached out and took the little girl Song Yinzhang and said: "To answer the question to the Empress, I have been living with my sister Yinzhang in the Jiaofang Division for these years. I dare to ask the Empress to grant her permission and leave her to be with my maid. She has no family, how can she survive alone at such a young age?"

Empress Cao looked at Song Yinzhang and saw that she was timid and timid, but she looked very good. She nodded and said: "In that case, stay with your elder brother and be a maid."

"Thank you, the Queen! (Thank you, the Queen)"

The two girls thanked each other, Song Yinzhang's voice was like a kitten, he seemed really timid, Zhao Fang just wanted to laugh, and secretly enjoyed Song Yinzhang's love brain, so he wouldn't be deceived now.

Mrs. Yu smiled and said: "I heard that when you were selected to run for the palace, you insisted on taking this little girl with you, otherwise you would rather give up. So that's what happened."

The female officer followed with a smile and said: "Isn't that right? The two empresses are talking about choosing concubines, who must be at least 13 years old. This little girl is only nine years old. She was originally a make-up, but she didn't expect to be able to stay."

Empress Cao smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Pan'er is a good kid. He is in such a bad place and he still takes care of small children. He seems to be a kind-hearted person."

At this time, Zhao Fang was puzzled again. He had read Guan Hanqing's original work and found that Song Yinzhang was not an orphan. She had a mother.

There is no sister in the TV series, but mother and daughter depend on each other. Because the Song family is from Le, they studied and grew up in Jiaofangsi.

The ancient Yueji didn't have to live in Jiaofangsi, they could move out after they became adults, as long as they had to be there when they were born.

In addition to the officially arranged business, you can take on business by yourself during the rest of the time, but you must give a commission to the Jiaofang Secretary.

Now Zhao Pan'er said that she had no family, which was the same as in the TV series. He was also confused as to what was going on.

It wasn't until he was woken up that he scratched his head and thought nothing more. He took the four girls back and looked at Song Yinzhang curiously along the way, muttering to himself.

"The king is back."

Seeing them coming back, Han Xue came out to take a look at the four ladies, stretched out her hand to undress him, and at the same time directed the palace maids in the courtyard to prepare toiletries.

Zhao Fang pointed at the four girls with a cheerful face and introduced: "This is Zhao Pan'er, call her Sister Pan'er. This is Song Yinzhang, the same age as you..." He froze when he pointed to the other two girls, forgetting to listen. Their names may have been heard but not remembered. How embarrassing.

When Han Xue saw her, she curled her lips and said, "This is called Sister Pan'er. She is so affectionate, but I can't remember other people's names. Your Majesty, this is too unfair."

"No way, I remember Sister Pan'er because she said a lot to my mother just now, but she didn't say anything else."

"Hey! Who can believe it? I've been here for so long and the king has never called me sister."

Seeing Han Xue's disdainful look, Zhao Fang understood now that this girl was jealous.

He laughed, reached out and pinched her cheek and said, "Sister Xue'er, you are so beautiful!"

"Bah! Don't talk nonsense."

With a sound of disgust, Han Xue rolled her eyes at him arrogantly, turned around and asked the names of the two women with a smile, looking very affectionate.

Zhao Fang shook his head secretly. Such a young girl can change her face so well. Is this ability a woman's innate ability?

"Your servant Li Yuhu (Lu Huayu) has met Master Attendant Han!"

Only then did Zhao Fang pay attention to these two women. When he took a closer look, they were really beautiful. Both women had plump figures, and Li Yuhu was even more so. She could already be said to be plump. If her figure is a few years from now, she will become plump. It was simply majestic, which made him secretly swallow a big mouthful of saliva.

"Be good and choke, is my mother looking for Shi Ji for me? Why do I feel like I'm looking for a nanny?"

"Forget it, don't think about it,

After pretending to be serious, he looked at Zhao Pan'er and said, "Sister Pan'er can dance? Yes, there is some tea, and appreciation of calligraphy and painting."

Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er was stunned. He hesitated and replied, "I know a little bit, but I'm not very good at it. Does your Majesty like this?"

Without waiting for his answer, Han Xue over there immediately answered: "How can the king have time to like those things? There is not enough time to study and practice martial arts every day."

Zhao Fang gave her a helpless look and let her understand for herself, but he was not afraid of him at all. During these days of getting along with him, he had figured out his temperament.

"Vinegar bottles, vinegar jars, vinegar factories and vinegar workshops..."

After muttering some thoughts, Zhao Fang looked at Zhao Pan'er, squeezed out a smile and said: "Calligraphy and painting are pleasant, ordering tea is elegant, and watching singing and dancing to relieve fatigue is still necessary. Since Sister Pan'er has learned it, don't throw it away. If you continue, maybe you can become everyone in the future.”

Zhao Pan'er nodded slightly in agreement, reached out and held Song Yinzhang's hand and said, "I don't think we, my maid, dare to expect that, but sister Yinzhang is very sensitive to music and is learning pipa. Maybe she can become a master in the future."

"Then keep studying. I don't have much to do here anyway. You just keep studying what you like."

Zhao Fang shouted impatiently, looking more anxious than themselves. The people around him looked puzzled, and Han Xue even frowned.

But it wasn't appropriate to try to bully his master, so he had to glare at him angrily and tell everyone to go their own way.
