"This is the dowry that my husband and I prepared for you."
Lin Guyu handed the wooden box in his hand directly to Xiaoxue with a smile on his face.
"Madam, you really don't need it.
Haven't you already prepared several boxes of things for me?
I won't need this one."
Xiaoxue said, declining.
"You can't let it go.
It's just a little thought from my husband and I.
I'm afraid I won't be willing to give it to you if you want it in the future.
Take it quickly."
Lin Guyu couldn't help but put it into Xiaoxue's hand.
Xiaoxue's eyes were red, and she looked at the small wooden box in her hand with tears in her eyes, blocking her nose with her fingers.
"When a girl gets married, she needs a bigger dowry so she won't be bullied by her husband's family."
Lin Guyu looked at Xiaoxue with a smile and saw that her collar was a little crooked.
He naturally helped Xiaoxue straighten it out and said softly, "Why don't you open it and take a look?"
Xiaoxue sniffed hard, raised her eyes to look at Lin Guyu, pursed her lips tightly, and nodded vigorously.
Opening the wooden box in her hand, Xiaoxue saw a few pieces of paper inside.
When she saw the first piece of yellowed paper, with a crumpled red finger print at the bottom, Xiaoxue's hands trembled slightly, and her tears fell on the paper drop by drop.
For people like them who are slaves, what they want most is to be free.
This is her contract.
"Zhang Jiu has always been free, and we can't lag behind others, right?"
Lin Guyu looked at Xiaoxue with a smile on his lips.
The tears couldn't stop at this moment.
Xiaoxue silently wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief and said in a tearful voice, "Mrs."
"I'm afraid we will have to live in the capital in the future.
You and Zhang Jiu should both have their own houses in the capital."
Lin Guyu smiled and took out another piece of paper from the wooden box, "What about the capital?"
It’s all expensive, so Brother Chi Hang and I bought you a courtyard with one entrance and one exit, with your name on it.”
"Madam, I can't have this."
Xiaoxue's tears fell uncontrollably, and she pushed and dragged her away in shame, "I really can't have it."
"But your name is written on it.
If you don't want it, then this house will have to be taken back by the court."
Lin Guyu said innocently, and stuffed it directly into Xiaoxue's hands, "This is your private property.
Brother Chi Hang should give Zhang Jiu a lot of money.
You and your wife have been taking care of me and Brother Chi Hang.
If there had been no war, we would have bought you a better house.
As you know, all the money was spent on food donations.
To the army."
Xiaoxue only felt that the paper in her hand was extra heavy.
She was just a little maid, how could He De be treated like this by his wife.
Inside the box was the title deed for ten acres of prime land in another county.
Xiaoxue put her hand to her lips.
Even if she did nothing in her life, she would not starve to death.
Lin Guyu looked at Xiaoxue's face that was red from crying, wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, and complained a little, "You really are, why are you crying?
Today is a good day for you."

But as he spoke, Lin Guyu's eyes were a little bitter, and tears were about to burst out of his eyes.
He stood up hurriedly, raised his eyes to the sky, turned his back to Xiaoxue and warned, "Pack all your things.
I'll go out and take a look first.
Look outside."
Is there anything else you need help with?”
Xiaoxue burst into tears.
In fact, she was very moved as long as Madam gave her a contract.
She has never been the kind of greedy person.
"Xiaoxue."
Xiao Hua's voice came from outside the door.
Xiaoxue quickly wiped away the tears on her face.
She didn't know whether the makeup on her face was stained or not, and said in a choked voice, "Come in."
Xiao Hua opened the door and came in.
When he saw Xiao Xue, he had a slight smile on his face and his voice was as gentle as water, "Congratulations."
"Yes."
Xiaoxue responded shyly, reaching out and pulling Xiao Hua to sit next to the bed, "Xiao Hua, if I can't be by my wife's side, you must take good care of her."
Xiaohua nodded vigorously.
"We have different personalities.
Madam trusts you and leaves the most important things at home to you.
I am more lively and suitable for communicating with outsiders outside.
You should learn from both.
I will not be here during this time.
Take good care of Madam. ."
Xiaoxue looked at it.
Xiao Hua's eyes were red and he tried his best to hold back the tears.
He stretched out his arms to hug Xiao Hua, thinking of Xiao Hua's love for kicking the quilt when sleeping.
He said with a tearful tone, "We won't live together in the future.
You must also remember to cover yourself up at night."
Sleep under a quilt, otherwise you will easily get sick.”
Xiao Hua felt as if his chest was blocked by something, and pushed Xiao Xue away with red eyes.
When the two of them were bought by Lin Guyu, their fates were connected.
"Madam said, it's not good to cry today."
Xiao Hua suppressed the reluctance in his heart and choked with sobs.
He quickly took the handkerchief and carefully helped Xiao Xue wipe the tears from her face and unpack the bag, " Here are some hooks I made for you, and a hundred taels of silver at the bottom of the box."
Over the years, Xiao Hua has probably only saved two hundred taels of silver.
Now that he has given her one hundred taels of silver, what will Xiao Hua do on her own?
Xiaoxue quickly pushed the banknote back, "I really don't need the money.
Madam has prepared a lot for me."
"That belongs to Madam."
Xiao Hua said, solemnly placing the bank note in Xiao Xue's hand, "We have been sisters for so many years, and this is what I feel like."
Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment, then took the banknote and hugged the little painting reluctantly.
Xiao Hua was taciturn, and she didn't like Xiao Hua at first.
When she saw Xiao Hua risking his life to protect his wife, she realized that Xiao Hua was the kind of person who couldn't express himself.
If she got into Xiao Hua's heart, what would happen to her?
He will never have to worry about her betraying him in his life.

There are more capable people in the inner courtyard than Xiao Hua, but there are so many maids in the entire inner courtyard, and the only one Madam trusts the most is Xiao Hua.
Hearing the commotion outside and the sound of firecrackers, Xiaoxue knew it was time to start getting on the sedan.
Xiaoxue was supported by Xi Niang when she came out of the house.
When she saw Chi Hang and Lin Guyu, she slowly lifted up her clothes, kowtowed to them three times solemnly, and held back her tears.
Walk outside.
After Xiaoxue was sent away, the entire Chi family became deserted.
Lin Guyu always felt that marrying Xiaoxue was like marrying a daughter, and he felt a little empty in his heart.
Chi Hang looked at Lin Guyu worrying about gains and losses, put his arms around Lin Guyu and walked towards the house, "You stay at home for a while, I'll go over there and take a look."
"I'll go too."
Lin Guyu reached out and took Chi Hang's hand and walked towards the place where Zhang Jiu was hosting the banquet.
After a busy day, he finally stopped, and Lin Guyu still felt a little empty.
For several days in a row, Lin Guyu was listless.
Because Xiaoxue was married to him, Lin Guyu thought about giving the young couple some loving time, so he gave Xiaoxue a month's leave.
After just a few days, Lin Guyu felt awkward in his heart.
He habitually wanted to call Xiaoxue whenever he did something, but then he realized that Xiaoxue was no longer around.
Xiaohua didn't feel very comfortable.
She and Xiaoxue could talk more on weekdays, but now none of the little girls in the house could get close to her.
According to those little maids, she was neither smiling nor talkative, but the madam still doted on her.
"Xiao Hua."
Lin Guyu raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Hua with a smile, "I want to eat hibiscus cake.
You can ask the kitchen people to make some later."
"Yes."
Xiao Hua said, turned around and went out directly.
Walking to the door of the kitchen, Xiao Hua heard the maid in the kitchen chewing her tongue.
"Madam is so kind to Miss Xiaoxue.
She gave her a deed, a house and a lot of land."
A little maid said enviously.
"Madam likes Miss Xiaoxue.
Miss Xiaoxue can talk and do things."
A woman said with some amusement, "If you can do things as well as Miss Xiaoxue, you will definitely have these things in the future."
"Mother Wu, what's strange is why Madam is so nice to Xiao Hua.
She is not with Madam on weekdays.
Now that Miss Xiaoxue is gone, Madam only remembers that there is such a person as Xiao Hua.
I have been looking at Xiao Hua all day.
She doesn't talk much at night and keeps a straight face, as if someone owes her dozens of taels of silver."
The little maid said with a taste, and threw the vegetables in her hand into the basket angrily.
"Who knows, Madam will probably drive Xiao Hua away in a few days.
Okay, let's cook quickly.
Madam is in a bad mood recently because of Miss Xiaoxue's absence.
You should be more agile and save yourself from being scolded later."
Mother Wu picked the vegetables and put them directly into the vegetable basket.
She was about to go out to wash the vegetable basket when she saw Xiao Hua standing at the door with a cold face.
"Xiao, Miss Xiao Hua."
Mother Wu timidly saluted Xiao Hua.
Even though they didn't like Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua was still the maid beside Madam.

There were only two maids in the entire Chi Mansion, Xiao Xue and Xiao Hua. painting.
Xiaoyu, who was squatting inside, heard Mother Wu calling that.
She dropped the things in her hands in a panic, got up quickly and called, "Little Painting Girl."
"Madam, I want to eat hibiscus cake.
Is there any left in the kitchen?"
Xiao Hua asked calmly, casting a cold glance at the two people in the room.
"Yes."
Mother Wu said, putting the vegetable basket in her hand on the ground, walked to the wooden basin nearby to wash her hands, wiped them on her knees after washing them, and took out the hibiscus cake from the cabinet.
During this period, Lin Guyu would eat hibiscus cake every day, and the kitchen was always ready.
Xiao Hua took the plate of hibiscus cake from Mother Wu's hand, turned around and walked to the door, looked back lightly, as if thinking of something, his eyes flicked to Mother Wu and Xiao Yu, "Do you know why the whole Chi Mansion Are there only two maids?"
Xiaoyu was still young.
Hearing what Xiaohua said, he quickly raised his eyes and looked up.
"The slaves don't know what Madam means," Wu's mother lowered her head and said in a low voice.
"Want to know?"
Xiao Huafeng asked lightly.
"I think."
A little maid who doesn't want to be a big maid is not a good maid.
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Hua nervously.
She wanted to be a big maid, but didn't want to be a little maid who was bullied.
The corners of Xiao Hua's lips curved slightly, and she looked at Xiao Yu with a flowery smile.
Xiao Yu was stunned.
Xiao Hua always has a stern face on weekdays.
Even if they know that Xiao Hua is good-looking, people will take the initiative to look away just by looking at that cold face.
But her smile was different.
It was like the stars in the sky, so bright and dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes away
