I am engaged in construction in ancient times

Chapter 103 Beauty

The monthly salary of two taels is definitely not low for the little maids and servants of ordinary wealthy families, but for these beautiful Shuang'er who are waiting for the rich customers to "spend a lot of money", it is just a drop in the bucket.

They are not willing to take the salary to do the work of these low-level servants.

"Work in the manor obediently for a year, and you will be free after a year. You can marry as you like."

"Get along well with the old women, and I can find a good family for you in the city next year..."

Xia Yunqiao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

As long as he works here for a year, he will be free!

But after being happy, Xia Yunqiao was unhappy. Even if he was a free man, he was just a Shuang'er who couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or hands. Where could he live? A beautiful Shuang'er, I'm afraid she would be deceived into some dirty place and sold.

Xia Yunqiao forced a smile, that's all, things will work out when the time comes. At least for him now, the current situation is much better than expected.

General Duan is a true gentleman, doting on his husband Shuang'er. Under his rule, Shuang'er and Yu Chu, who was beside Xia Yunqiao, saw his forced smile and thought she felt the same way. She muttered in a low voice: "No matter how good a family is, can they be as good as General Duan?"

They were clearly here to serve the general.

"We didn't even see the general when we got here, and we were sent to this place." Yu Chu said this in a sarcastic tone, secretly glancing at Xiao Ruoning.

If General Duan knew they were so "beautiful", how could he not even look at them and let them come here to serve others.

The crowd was gossiping, secretly speculating: "It must be Madam Duan."

"Madam Duan hid us here in the name of the general, her mind is so vicious."

"As expected of Shuang'er who came from a deep mansion, she is very scheming."

...

After a lot of gossip, Shuang'er and the others determined that it must be Madam Duan Xiao Yuhe who deliberately hid these beauties here. It is said that Madam Duan is a vicious person, and she used to drive away the beauties sent to General Duan.

Xia Yunqiao listened to their discussion with sarcasm in his eyes.

Yu Chu looked left and right, and there were several indignant Shuang'er. Xiao Ruoning stood there, as cold as a beauty, and didn't say a word. Yu Chu rolled his eyes and said, "It would be great if we could meet General Duan."

Shuang'er beside Yu Chu whispered to him, "Yes, yes, if the general met us, or he-" Shuang'er pointed at Xiao Ruoning's position with her eyes, and said shyly, "How could he bear to hide a beauty in such a manor."

"How can we meet the general?"

"Mrs. Duan is very scheming. She hid us here. She must have a back-up plan and won't let us meet the general easily."

"This manor is said to be open to the people. Will the general come?"

"It would be best if we could meet the general's confidant and let him introduce us."

...

Three or two Shuang'er whispered and planned how to please General Duan, replace Madam Duan, and live a life of wealth and glory.

Xiao Ruoning listened to their discussion calmly, looking at the mountains outside from time to time.

After the mother-in-law finished her lecture, whether these Shuang'er were willing or not, they had to learn to work.
