Although Tang Dongdong had long been mentally prepared to marry Qin Feng, she still blushed when she realized that there was only one bed in the room.
"Are you kidding?"
Qin Feng's face was also black. He turned around to call Aunt Liu, but Guan Hanyan pulled his sleeve.
"Head of the household…squeeze in."
" What's there to squeeze? If I'm pregnant, it'll be yours and mine?"
Qin Feng said unhappily.
"You can count it as whoever you want."
" Nonsense. Watch how I deal with you when I get back."
Qin Feng slapped Guan Hanyan's cigarette butt, pushed her hand away, and ran after Aunt Liu.
Guan Hanyan shrunk her neck and stuck out her tongue.
"Dongdong, didn't we agree at home? Why did you act like an idiot just now?" Qin Feng said angrily when he saw Qin Feng leaving.
"..."
Tang Dongdong tugged at the corner of her clothes and did not say anything.
"You!"
Guan Hanyan stomped her feet, feeling helpless and regretful.
He almost succeeded…
"Aunt Liu, why did you only prepare one room for us?"
Qin Feng caught up to Aunt Liu and asked with a bitter smile.
"Hmm?"
"Young Master, do you think the bed is too small?" Aunt Liu misunderstood Qin Feng's words.
"You're mistaken. The one in the blue dress is not my wife."
"I know, she is your concubine."
Aunt Liu suddenly understood." Could it be that Madam doesn't want to sleep with the concubine?"
In her village, no matter how many concubines they had, they would sleep together.
Most people only had one bed at home. At most, when the child grew up, they would get another bed for the child.
It wasn't until they entered the city that they found out that some rich families didn't want their wives to sleep with their concubines.
"Dongdong is not my concubine."
"If she's not a concubine, why is she here to send Young Master to the battlefield?"
"A lover?" Aunt Liu asked ambiguously. Young Master, logically speaking, an old woman like me shouldn't say anything, but now I have to say something. Since you've taken a fancy to her, you should give her a status…"
"She's not my lover either!"
"She…she's the shopkeeper I hired to help me manage my business," said Qin Feng with a dark face.
"A female shopkeeper?"
"Really?" Aunt Liu obviously didn't believe him.
Qin Feng was about to break down." Whether it's true or not, it has nothing to do with you. Just tell me if you can prepare another room for me!"
"Yes! I'll go and tidy up the side room for Young Master."
Aunt Liu saw that Qin Feng was getting anxious and quickly ran away.
Zhong Wu was patrolling the area and happened to hear their conversation. He laughed so hard that his stomach was twitching. When he saw Qin Feng's unfriendly gaze, he quickly held it in.
" Zhong Wu, is Aunt Liu always like this?"
Qin Feng asked curiously.
Wasn't it said that slaves in ancient times didn't have much status?
Auntie Liu was such a gossipy person. How did she survive until now?
"Sir, Aunt Liu's son was once Lord Marquis's personal guard. That brother died in battle protecting Lord Marquis. Lord Marquis knew that Aunt Liu had no one to rely on, so he took her to Qingfeng Courtyard to give her a way out."
Zhong Wu said," Lord Marquis is not married yet, and there is no Young Mistress to discipline him. You know Lord Marquis 'temper, he never makes things difficult for the servants, so the servants in the house are a little presumptuous. Please bear with it, I will scold Aunt Liu later."
"No need, it's fine."
Qin Feng shook his head.
He was just a guest. There was no need to make things difficult for a poor woman over such a small matter.
Back in the room, Tang Dongdong had not left yet. He was talking to Guan Hanyan about the furnishings in the room.
"Dongdong, Aunt Liu went to tidy up the side room. You'll stay there later."
"Yes."
"Brother Feng, is there anything else you need from the workshop?" Tang Dongdong nodded.
"No, just do what you usually do when I'm not at home."
" Is Brother Liang going this time? If he goes, who will deliver the goods to the county government?"
" I'll go with Mancang. Brother Liang won't go," Qin Feng said." But when I'm not at home, don't let Brother Liang deliver the goods. Let him stay at home. If anything happens, you can discuss it with him."
As for the delivery, let Brother Tie Zi replace Brother Liang."
"Alright."
"I'll go look for Auntie Liu then," Tang Dongdong nodded.
"Dongdong, why don't we squeeze together…"
Guan Hanyan still didn't give up.
Tang Dongdong shook her head and ran away with a red face.
"Master, Dongdong is a girl. She's thin-skinned. Can't you take the initiative?"
Guan Hanyan watched as Tang Dongdong ran away. She said regretfully," I've already told Dongdong at home that she's really willing to marry you. As long as you take the initiative, Dongdong will definitely stay today."
"No, why do you want me to marry Tang Dongdong? Can't I marry you alone?"
Qin Feng asked.
Guan Hanyan had talked about taking concubines before, but she had never been as eager as she was today.
Qin Feng felt that she wanted to tie Tang Dongdong to the bed.
"Hanyan knows that the master treats Hanyan well, but…"
Guan Hanyan stopped talking.
"But what? Tell me."
"Don't tell me you've fallen in love with Dongdong?" Qin Feng suddenly had a thought.
In his previous life, he had seen an argument on the Internet that many women had the tendency to be in a relationship. Therefore, many of their best friends would do some very intimate actions without feeling awkward.
Could it be that Guan Hanyan…
"Master, how can you think of Hanyan like that?"
" No!" Guan Hanyan denied." If that's what you think, you can soak Hanyan in a pig cage tomorrow."
"Why are you soaking in a pig cage?"
" You're not interested in Tang Dongdong. Why are you urging me to marry her?" Qin Feng hurriedly said when he saw that Guan Hanyan was really angry.
"Because I'm useless…"
Guan Hanyan pursed her lips and said," Master, our workshop is getting bigger and bigger, and we're spinning more and more thread every day. Brother Liang is bringing more and more things back from the county government, but…but I'm illiterate, and I keep making mistakes in accounting. The recent transactions have exceeded two thousand wen, but I can't figure it out…
But if you're not at home, I won't be able to keep the family business. I don't even know if they lied to me…"
She was the mistress of the house, so every time Zhang Liang came back from the county government, he would go to her to check the accounts. At the beginning, the amount of money involved was small, and the things he bought were also small, so she could barely understand.
But now that she was buying more and more things and the accounts were getting more and more complicated, she could not understand.
The workshop was getting better and better, and Guan Hanyan was getting more and more anxious.
And then there was today's incident.
Qin Feng could see Guan Hanyan's anxiety. He wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and carefully pulled her into his embrace.
"Hanyan, don't worry. When I come back, I'll teach you how to read and how to calculate."
" Hanyan is too stupid. She won't be able to learn it. Besides, you're leaving tomorrow…"
"When I'm not at home, you can ask Dongdong to help you."
Qin Feng suggested.
"How can that do?"
Guan Hanyan immediately sat up." You're not sharing a room with Dongdong, and you don't have a marriage certificate. She's not considered family. She can help with the chores. How can you hand the accounts to her?"
