Chapter 398 I Like Keqing Very Much
"Master!"
Jia Cong took a deep breath . Keqing was naturally charming, and her words and actions were indeed quite alluring.
"What did the lady say?"
"I'll take Ruizhu and Baozhu someday too!"
"Why? But what do they think?"
"How can you understand our daughters' hearts? The two girls are following me now, but they don't have much to look forward to. If they follow you, they will have a good future. I have treated them well. Today, you asked Sister Qingwen to come over. How could the two girls not think too much?"
Jia Cong thought for a moment and said, "They are both loyal to you. Even if it's for your sake, I will not treat them unfairly. I know this."
Keqing nodded slightly. She naturally believed Jia Cong.
"Today, the Emperor has issued an edict to arrange a marriage for the daughter of the Zhen family. Is my dear Keqing jealous?"
Keqing hugged Jia Cong and laughed softly, "You should go ask Aunt Lin if she's jealous, or go ask Second Aunt. I saw Second Sister-in-law glare at you several times today."
Jia Cong was silent for a moment, then stroked Keqing's cheek and said, "It's me who has troubled you!"
Putting her face in Jia Cong's palm, Keqing said softly, "What did you say, Master? I am willing to follow you, even if it means death. As long as you don't drive me away, I am not afraid of anything."
"Keqing!"
"Master?"
"My Lord likes Keqing very much!"
"Hmm..."
It was not until the next morning that Jia Cong got up. Keqing called Ruizhu and the other two to help Jia Cong dress and wash, while Qingwen went to the kitchen to get food.
"Madam, how much is Ruizhu's monthly salary now?"
"They are my two big maids, and they get a monthly allowance of one or two taels of silver each month!"
"Madam, starting from next month, the two of them will receive the same monthly allowance of two taels as Qingwen!"
Keqing immediately smiled and nodded at the stunned Ruizhu and the other two, "Why don't you two thank me quickly!"
Ruizhu and Baozhu hurriedly bowed happily, "Thank you, Master!"
"Get up. You are the people around Keqing and are the most loyal. I know this. As long as you take good care of Keqing, I will not treat you harshly in the future. You will have a bright future."
Ruizhu and the other girl nodded excitedly and shyly. The money was one reason, and the recognition of their status was the other. Like Qingwen, wouldn't they also be treated as concubines or concubines? Moreover, Jia Cong had no need to deceive the two little girls with such things. Therefore, this also meant that they could become Jia Cong's close friends in the future.
After Qingwen came back with the food, Jia Cong finished eating and left Keqing's courtyard.
Looking at the delicate and charming Qingwen, Jia Cong stepped forward and held her hand, "My dear Qingwen, what happened?"
Qingwen rolled her eyes at Jia Cong and said, "My Lord, why did you bring me along when you were making trouble?"
"Nonsense? Did Master see Qingwen very happy last night? And..."
"Stop talking!" Qingwen covered Jia Cong's mouth with her white and tender palm, her pretty face flushed, "Next...next time I won't play with you anymore."
Jia Cong touched Qingwen's palm with the tip of his tongue. Qingwen quickly pulled back and was about to escape, but was held in Jia Cong's arms. "But Master likes to play around with Qingwen. What should I do?"
Qingwen thought about some scenes from last night and felt her whole body go limp. How shameless of you...
"Since Qingwen doesn't want to, I won't mess around with her next time!"
Qingwen leaned softly in Jia Cong's arms, "I am a servant. If the master wants to make trouble, can I stop him?"
Looking at Qingwen's shy yet somewhat arrogant expression, Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
All the way back to Ningzheng Hall, Xiao Que'er saw the two of them coming back, "Did Master go to Sister Yuanyang's place yesterday? Why did Qingwen go with you? Next time Master, take me with you."
He went forward and messed up Xiao Que'er's hair. Under Xiao Que'er's round eyes, Jia Cong smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Que will follow you next time we go to Yuanyang."
"Master, is Miss Zhen going to become your aunt like Sister Yuanyang?" Xiao Que'er asked, looking up.
Jia Cong nodded and said, "I guess so!"
Xiao Que'er's face fell when she heard this. She walked forward and pulled Jia Cong and said, "Before I went to the border, I promised that we would be my concubines in the future. So when can Xiao Que'er become my concubine? Now that I have Sister Yuanyang and the girl from the Zhen family is coming, will I not like Xiao Que'er in the future?"
Jia Cong really laughed at the aggrieved look of the little bird.
In fact, Xiao Que'er was not very clear about what the concubine needed to do. After all, she was most familiar with the maids, and these maids knew only a little about these things. She only knew that the concubine had to sleep with the master, and the concubine's status seemed to be higher.
As the master's maid, it is only natural for her, Xiao Que'er, to warm the master's bed. It seems that this is no different from being an aunt.
Qingwen gave the little girl a helpless look. How could this little girl know how powerful the master was? Every time she warmed the bed for the master, she felt tired the whole day. However, the feeling was also joyful.
"My little bird is still too young. In two years, I will let you be my concubine, okay?"
"Besides, no matter whether Xiao Que'er is a concubine or a maid, isn't she the one that Master loves the most?"
Xiao Que'er nodded vigorously. That was true. After all, the master loved her, so it didn't matter whether she was a concubine or not. Moreover, she heard from Xiao Jixiang that if she became a concubine, she would have to live in her own courtyard like Concubine Zhao. Not only could she not accompany the master at all times, but she could also not play around like she did now. It seemed that the identity of a concubine might not be a good one.
Xiao Que'er just acted on a whim, and after getting Jia Cong's promise, she immediately put the matter behind her.
Jia Cong was not deceiving her. This little girl had been with him since she was a child. In terms of closeness, she was definitely the closest to him. Even if this little girl wanted to leave, he would not let her go.
However, this little girl is several years younger than Qingwen and the others . Even if Jia Cong is a jerk, he can't take her in right now. Besides, now that she has my support, she is always busy and happy. Let her play for a few more years...
"Aren't you going on duty today?" Xiangling asked.
" Today, the master has to go to the palace to express his gratitude. In addition, there will be a grand banquet in the mansion in two days. We also need to make arrangements in advance to avoid being in a hurry when the time comes."
