Chapter 1140 It would be better if he was strong and able to work
The redemption money for this carefully trained Yangzhou skinny horse must be considerable.
It seems that the merchants in Yuanlu County are quite wealthy, not as poor as they usually appear.
Thinking about how a group of people scraped together 300 taels of silver and used it to buy a few prostitutes without blinking an eye, wow~~~ they hid it really well.
This time he generously sent a beautiful woman here, maybe Gui Ge'er was right, maybe he has something to ask of him.
If it is a courtesy gift, there is no need to be so generous. Just send a pretty girl who is a little girl.
Who needs such a beautiful girl with talents?
It must cost a lot of money just to train it.
Sun Shan's heart suddenly sounded alarm bells and he had to be on guard.
Another standard beauty came out and said, "Your Excellency, I don't know. The maid only told me that someone had redeemed me and asked me to follow them."
It would be a lie to say that I don’t know, but it’s hard to say these things. After I become the master’s man, the news will slowly leak out.
Seeing that the standard beauty who loves to show off didn’t say anything, the other three beauties also chose to remain silent.
Being redeemed is not a pleasant thing to say, and they don't want it to be mentioned.
Sun Shan didn't know whether they really didn't know or were just pretending not to know. If they didn't tell him, then forget it.
In fact, needless to say, if you ask around a little, you will know the market price and that it is very expensive, much more expensive than that of an ordinary maid.
Sun Shan was already very alert at this moment. Whether he knew the price or not, he would only make one choice.
I've met the pretty girl and asked her questions, so there's really no need for a talent show.
Instead of spending time watching performances, you might as well read a few farming books.
Sun Shan never liked entertainment.
In my previous life, I didn’t watch many TV series or movies, let alone concerts. I always felt that being obsessed with these things was not only a waste of money but also a waste of time.
And we must be wary of these "nipple pleasures".
If you have this time, you might as well go to the suburbs to climb mountains, take a walk, and exercise.
Of course, unless the performer is a fat girl, people will definitely support her.
Speaking of little Fatty, Sun Shan planned to let his daughter learn to read and write when she was three years old, and then cultivate her skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting little by little when she was five or six years old.
When she was a little older, she asked Sister Yun to teach her needlework.
When you grow up a little more, you should read more books on strategy to develop your brain.
Of course, you must learn more about mathematics, physics and chemistry, and use rational thinking to look at things and do things.
What I fear most is falling in love. If he gets cheated by a bad boy, where can he go to cry?
Sun Shan was a father for the first time and didn’t know how to be one, but like all fathers in the world, he hoped that his children would be promising, capable, and skilled, and be able to earn a living with their own hands no matter how difficult the future held.
Some people say that it is better to train children to command others to work than to train them to work.
Sun Shan doesn't think so. He feels at ease only when he understands it himself.
After Sun Shan had some random thoughts, he waved his hand and said, "Butler Wang, take them away."
Butler Wang's heart was in turmoil, and he was very nervous. Seeing that the master asked so many questions, he dared not say a word.
After hearing Sun Shan's order, he immediately replied, "Yes, sir."
At this time, his waist pain was gone and the disease had not recurred. He quickly and with a jump, he brought four beautiful girls, some thin and some plump, away.
When Gui Ge'er saw the maid leave, he immediately asked, "Brother Shan, what are you going to do with the maid this time? Are you going to keep them all?"
He is thin and weak, and falls down if touched. He is definitely not good at working.
Gui Ge'er was not willing to let them stay. Not only was it a waste of food, but it was also difficult to order them to do things. It was not worth it.
Sun Dingnan also asked: "Master, these girls are good-looking, but useless. I think they can't even carry water. And the zither and pipa they are learning, why do they look like girls from wealthy families? Are they rich?"
If Sun Shan had not married the girl from the He family, Sunjia Village would never have seen music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
When Yun Jie'er is in a good mood or bored, she will play the piano. The folks in Sunjia Village would occasionally hear her and realize that this is how the girl from a wealthy family plays the piano.
So people think that these elegant entertainment activities are only understood by ladies from wealthy families.
Only wealthy families could afford to hire teachers to teach.
The four women in front of him all said that they had talents, and Sun Dingnan couldn't help but feel confused.
Seeing that there was no one around, Sun Shan simply said the four words "Yangzhou Skinny Horse".
Although Gui Ge'er and Sun Dingnan followed Sun Shan around, their activities were very simple and they didn't understand many things.
Since they are his confidants, it would be okay to explain it to them.
Sun Dingnan's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Master, are these maids given to you as concubines?"
I thought she was sent to be a maid, but I didn't know she was sent to warm my bed.
Emma, the country bumpkin was inevitably surprised when he met her for the first time.
Gui Ge'er said anxiously, "Brother Shan, you absolutely cannot accept it. No one in our Sunjia Village takes concubines, and you must not set a bad example. Besides, taking concubines is very expensive. Our family is already poor, and if we support one more person, we will be even poorer."
After a pause, he said as a matter of course: "If you want to keep concubines, you might as well keep a few more Su Xiazi. Adding more children will make the family prosperous. We can't keep those extra people. If we have to keep people, we should keep the most important ones."
In Gui Ge'er's heart, Sun Shan and his descendants rank first, and the others are optional.
Sun Dingnan had a different opinion from Gui Ge'er. He believed that it was normal for an official to have concubines, and it was also normal for Sun Shan to take a concubine.
So he said, "Master, if you want to take a concubine, you can. I see many officials have concubines. I heard that County Magistrate Wang has three concubines at home. Your official position is higher than his, so you can take four concubines back."
Gui Ge'er's eyes widened, and he shook his head repeatedly and said, "Brother Nan, you are wrong to say that. It is easy to take her in, but it is difficult to raise her. We don't have much money in our pockets, how can we afford to raise her. Besides, it is better to use the money to raise Cigu Ding than to raise a concubine. Besides, Cigu Ding will need more money to study in the future."
A dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix; a mouse's son can dig holes.
Brother Shan is good at studying, and Xiao Xiaoshan must be even better at studying. Plus, we have to support Xiao Xiaoshan's servant Xiao Xiaogui, which costs even more money.
If there are a few small hills and a few small laurels.
Emma, you have to save money now so that you can continue your studies.
No, Brother Shan cannot keep someone who is good-looking but useless, so he must not take a concubine.
Sun Dingnan felt that Gui Ge'er thought too much, while Gui Ge'er felt that Sun Dingnan thought too little.
Sun Shan in the middle:........
Should I kick them out and come back after the quarrel is over?
At this time, housekeeper Wang came in from outside and saw Sun Shan's "left and right protectors" arguing. He vaguely heard the news of taking a concubine and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
I bravely asked, "Master, what shall we do with those four maids?"
Sun Shan looked at the gift list and then at the maid's indenture.
She said calmly and gently, "Leave the gifts behind and send the four maids back. Say that the family is poor and cannot afford to support them. If they were strong and capable of working, it would be ok, but these four are obviously incapable of working, so send them all back."
