Chapter 31: Airborne Housekeeper (Part 1)

The female beggar saw Du He and looked at each other without saying too much. The female beggar came directly to Du He, handed Du Gou's waist card to Du He, then bowed and said, "Slave Li Yao, when he was in Hei Ci Mountain, it was Shaolang, you saved the slave."

Du He was stunned when he heard this, then remembered and asked, "The women who were captured by bandits? Are you among them?"

"Yes." Li Yao nodded and said, "There were many women who were captured by bandits at the time. Shaolang, you may not remember me."

Du He looked her up and down and said dryly, "You made this look even better than that time... I can't recognize you even if you want to."

Li Yao may have been ragged and dirty at this moment because of the hardships of the journey. Her skin and lips on her face were already cracked. Not only that, she was like a beggar, and she was indeed even more embarrassed than when she was in a bandit camp.

Li Yao said: "I met a robber on the way. Although I escaped by chance, the maid and two guards lost their lives to protect me. I was alone, and I was afraid that the road would be dangerous, so I disguised myself as a beggar for the convenience of walking."

Du He couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard this. A weak woman rushed from Ci County to Chang'an. It was so hard that she almost fell into the hands of the bandits. She suffered a lot. She couldn't help but raise her hand and pat her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Thank you for your hard work..."

"Not working hard." Li Yao seemed to be unwilling to care about this and said, "Alang (Du Gou) betrothed the slave to Shaolang and asked the slave to come to Chang'an to take care of Shaolang. The slave must come to Chang'an alive."

Everyone looked at Du He in shock when they heard this.

Du He was also most afraid of her saying this, so he waved his hand and said, "This is something that cannot be counted. How can my brother marry me at will? I don't agree with this marriage without my consent."

Li Yao frowned and said, "Marriage has always been the order of parents. Why do you need your consent if the matchmaker says?"

Du He hurriedly said, "You also say it is the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, where is the order of your parents, and where is the words of the matchmaker?"

Li Yao said seriously: "Shaolang, you and the parents of the head of the family are no longer in the world. Since this is the case, the elder brother is the father and the elder sister-in-law are the mother. Both brother and sister-in-law have promised to betroth me to you, and they also wrote a marriage letter as a prerequisite. As for the matchmaker's words... My brother received the order and would not leave Xiangzhou within three years. In three years, he will come back to handle the marriage for us, and the matchmaker's words will naturally be indispensable at that time."

"Impossible! You're talking nonsense!" Du He was completely panicked now. Could it be that he just got married in a mess? No, was he married? And he married such a dirty beggar... His heart was broken.

"I don't believe it! Where is the wedding book? You said there is a wedding book! Where is the wedding book?"

Li Yao took out a red wedding book from her arms and handed it to Du He. Du He took it in her hand. When she opened it, she found that it was indeed a wedding book, with Du Gou's signature and seal. The most annoying thing was that the other signature was Sun Simiao. The wedding book said that Sun Simiao accepted Li Yao as her adopted daughter and agreed to the marriage for her.

Du He was so angry that he was about to tear the marriage letter. Cao Xiaojin hurriedly grabbed him and repeatedly advised: "Don't tear up, don't tear up, don't tear up."

Du He said angrily: "Don't tear it? Keep the ignition stove?"

Cao Xiaojin leaned into his ear and whispered: "The wedding letter cannot be torn. Otherwise, if this girl sues you, every time she sues you, it will be a sure thing and will never be able to be blamed."

Li Yao seemed to hear Cao Xiaojin's words and said loudly: "Yes, if you dare to tear the marriage letter, I will go to the government to sue you!"

Du He turned his head and looked at Cao Xiaojin, narrowed his eyes and said, "Thank you for reminding her, I seriously suspect that you are the spy she invited."

"Absolutely not!" Cao Xiaojin hurriedly patted his chest and sweared, "My sincerity to Shaolang is the sun and the moon can be seen, and the world can be expressed..."

Du He pulled Cao Xiaojin to the side and whispered: "You can think of a way to drive her away. When the matter is done, I will give it to you..."

He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, "I'll give you ten taels!"

Cao Xiaojin shook his head and said in a daze: "You have such a little money...it's not easy to deal with."

"You are taking advantage of the situation!" Du He was so angry that he really wanted to roar, but he didn't dare to speak loudly, so he could only whisper, "Fifty taels! I have invested all my money in the papermaking workshop, and there is no remaining money!"

Cao Xiaojin sighed lightly: "Okay, since you are so sincere, how can I not save you when I die? Let's see me."

So he turned around, came to Li Yao confidently, smiled slightly, and said, "Miss Li, lucky to know."

"Good luck." Li Yao nodded and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Cao Xiaojin." Cao Xiaojin introduced himself, "It's the mansion invited by Du Shaolang."

"The guest of the house?" Li Yao frowned slightly and said, "Is it a borer who cheats food, drinks and money?"

"You..." Cao Xiaojin was almost choked to death by her words.

Before Cao Xiaojin could speak, Li Yao turned to look at Du He and said, "Husband, why do our mansion asks this kind of borer to come back? Why should we drive him away?"

Cao Xiaojin was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything. He turned around and looked at Du He.

Du He winked at Cao Xiaojin repeatedly. Cao Xiaojin kept shaking his head, saying that he didn't dare. After all, Li Yao was the mistress, and this mistress was going to fire him now.

Seeing that Du He didn't say anything, Li Yao said, "By the way, my husband, I received a letter from my family. I heard that you sold your ancestral land. I was too arrogant. My brother sent me back to control you and manage all the property industries in the family. If you don't drive this mansion named Cao away, I can drive him away."

Du He was shocked when he heard this and stood there. This little woman was not a good-looking lamp, she came back to seize power.

Just as Du He was about to speak, Li Yao took out another letter from his arms and said, "It's no basis for speaking. Here are brother's letters as evidence, and all the letters are detailed."

Just as Du He was dumbfounded, Cao Xiaojin suddenly came to Li Yao, bowed and said with a smile: "Miss Mother, Miss Mother, listen to Cao's words for a few more words before deciding whether to keep Cao."

Li Yao nodded and spread her hands and said, "Please say it."

Cao Xiaojin said: "Cao is not useless. Cao has real skills and is proficient in Feng Shui and geomancer, and the way of medicine and divination. Miss Mother, think about it, if Cao is left behind, Cao can help our family see Feng Shui and divination, and if anyone in the house has any minor illnesses of headache and fever, Cao can also help treat the disease, and waive the cost of hiring a doctor..."

Li Yao nodded thoughtfully when she heard this: "Well, it sounds very good."

"That's it, that's it..." Cao Xiaojin nodded repeatedly and smiled.

Du He was dumbfounded from the side and shouted in anger: "Cao Xiaojin, you ungrateful person!"

"Shaolang, don't make trouble." Cao Xiaojin looked at him with a smile, "In the future, this family will be the mistress. Cao's belief is... loyal to the Du family! Since he is the mistress in charge now, Cao naturally has to work hard for the mistress."

Du He was almost so angry that he spit out his old blood. This guy was so unconventional. He regretted it. Why did he go to suppress the bandits and rescue those women...

He suddenly thought of something, shouted excitedly, pointed at Li Yao, and shouted loudly: "No, you have been insulted by bandits. You are no longer innocent. How can you marry me? I don't agree with this marriage. I want to ask the saint to make the decision for me!"

Li Yao said calmly: "Don't worry, husband, although I was trapped in a bandit's nest, I kept my body intact. The reason is inconvenient to say to outsiders that when I was in Ci County, Sun Shenxian and A-ben (Du Gou) had already found someone to test my body for me. A-ben said it clearly in the letter, and I also believe that the saints will not break up this marriage for no reason."

Du He was completely stunned when he heard this.

Cao Xiaojin was beside him and pretended to be a tiger's power: "Shaolang, don't make trouble, just follow the mistress."

"I'm from you, a big-headed ghost! You traitor!" Du He wanted to go up and kick Cao Xiaojin to death.

Cao Xiaojin hurriedly nodded and asked Li Yao: "Miss Mother, what Cao left behind..."

Li Yao said: "Since you understand Feng Shui and medical methods, you are a useful person. Then stay in the mansion. How much monthly salary will your husband give you before?"

"One month...everything." Cao Xiaojin originally wanted to lie, but he was afraid of being exposed, so he told the truth honestly.

Li Yao frowned immediately: "So many?"

Cao Xiaojin hurriedly said, "This price is absolutely fair and innocent. Miss Mother, think about it, if you ask a doctor to stay in the house forever, is that that a matter of money?"

Li Yao thought it was true, scholars were valuable, and talents who knew medical skills were even more valuable, so she nodded and said, "Okay, stay, your monthly salary was always the same, but I said in advance that if you said something false, I would immediately drive you out of the Du Mansion. Not only that, I will also go to the government to sue you and say that you are defrauding the people."

"Thank you, Miss Mother!" Cao Xiaojin thanked happily, and did not forget to add, "Miss Mother, there is something Cao must say, Cao and Zhuo Jing are now living in the mansion, so the food and accommodation cost... I don't know..."

Li Yao said: "Of course, my Du family will not care about food and accommodation, but the Du family does not raise idle people. Let your wife help me take care of the flowers and plants in the house and sweep the courtyard. The monthly salary will be based on the servant's specifications."

"Thank you, mistress!" Cao Xiaojin was happy. Although he had no bonus, his wife also had income now. Although not much, her legs were also fleshy.

At this time, Zhen Jian, who had been by his side, suddenly stepped forward and said, "I was also hired by Shaolang."

Li Yao looked him up and down and asked, "What do you call him?"

Zhen Jian replied expressionlessly: "Zhen Jian."

Li Yao asked again: "What do you do in the mansion? How much is the monthly salary?"

Zhen Jian said: "Be your personal guard to your son, with a monthly salary of two jin. Shaolang promised that if he could save him once, he would be rewarded with hundreds of jin."

Li Yao said: "Personal guards are mostly people with extraordinary martial arts skills. How are you doing?"

Before Zhen Jian could speak, Cao Xiaojin took the lead and said, "I can testify this. He is the number one gossip in Chang'an. He has a very high martial arts skills. If you don't believe it, you can go out and inquire."

"Okay." Li Yao said, "Since that's the case, it's worth the price. The safety of your husband is the most important."

Zhen Jian added: "The reason I was willing to come to Du Mansion was because Shaolang promised to help me raise thirty-seven children. Their youngest was six or seven years old and the oldest was fourteen years old. Shaolang promised that he would ask the teacher to teach them how to read, and I would teach them martial arts. When they grew up, they would hire them as guards or servants to give them a bite of food."

Cao Xiaojin hurriedly explained to him: "Miss mother, Zhen Jian has adopted 37 orphans who are lonely and helpless. Many people have invited Zhen Jian before, but Zhen Jian cannot abandon these orphans and has not agreed. Shaolang promised to raise these dolls and will ask people to teach these children to read and read. Zhen Jian agreed to come to our Du Mansion. Moreover, these 37 little kids are very good. In a few years, they can be the guardhouse of our Du Mansion. This is a cost-effective transaction."

Li Yao suddenly said: "Zhen Jian's monthly salary per month has been changed to three stakes."

Cao Xiaojin was confused when he heard this. This was the monthly salary increase? And it directly increased by one month. He suddenly became envious and jealous.

Zhen Jian said, "Then I brought thirty-seven..."

Li Yao said: "Everything is the same as usual. I hope you will do your best to protect my husband."

"Here!" Zhen Jian nodded.

Du He watched Li Yao dig his corner in front of him, but he had no choice but to turn his back and sigh to the sky.

Li Yao detoured in front of him and asked, "Why are you sighing?"

Du He curled his lips and said coldly: "It's not your business, and I won't marry you, so don't call me husband."

Li Yao said: "My husband has saved me and has a betrothal to me. I will be my husband's member for the rest of my life."

Du He rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "Dream."

After a while, outside the yard, there were people watching the fun, and the butler Du Hong was among them.

Li Yao turned around and said, "Where is the butler Du Hong?"

Du Hong hurried forward and saluted, "Du Hong is here, what instructions do you have for the young lady?"

Li Yao said: "According to Brother A's wishes, I must read Brother A's letter in public."

Du Hong was puzzled: "Isn't this a letter from Alang to Shaolang? Why should I read it in public?"

Li Yao said: "Brother told me so, I just did it."

Du Hong nodded: "Okay, please read the faith of the young lady."

Li Yao opened the envelope, opened the letter, and read it loudly: "Du He, you coward..."
