Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 919

That is why in ancient times, when the husband was in trouble, the wife would take out her dowry to help him through the difficult times.

Ordinary people are like this, let alone Zhu Yuxuan, the princess of the Ming Dynasty, who is naturally the same.

This was not because Zhu Yuanzhang was targeting Wei Wu or guarding against him. This law had already been established before Wei Wu came to the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Yuxuan married Wei Wu, Wei Wu had no right to control the dowry that Zhu Yuxuan gave him.

Whether to contribute to the household income or support the parents-in-law is entirely up to the woman herself, as is the case now.

Normally, the land under Wei Wu's name should be used to reward his servants, but Zhu Yuxuan was willing to use his own subsidy.

Wei Wu did not choose to refuse. To him and Zhu Yuxuan, twenty acres of land was nothing.

He would not let his self-esteem as a man be trampled upon just because of twenty acres of land, and would not reject Zhu Yuxuan's feelings.

So after Zhu Yuxuan finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately nodded and said:

"Okay, you're in charge of the household accounts. Just make your decision. I support you."

Hearing Wei Wu's answer, Zhu Yuxuan looked at him tenderly and a bright smile appeared on her face.

Just as the two of them made the decision, Leah walked in from the courtyard gate with the cook.

When they came to Wei Wu's Zhu Yuxuan, the cook immediately bowed to them.

"Master, Madam!"

"Ok!"

Wei Wu responded softly, and then he said:

"You're getting married soon, congratulations!"

Hearing Wei Wu's congratulations, the cook bent her waist even lower, and there was a hint of sob in her tone.

"Thanks to your kindness, Master, I am where I am today. All of this is given to me by you, Master."

Wei Wu was about to speak, but the cook fell to her knees in front of him as soon as she finished speaking.

"If the young master hadn't helped me escape from slavery, even if I met him in this life, I would only be a slave and not marry him."

Wei Wu did not stop the cook from kneeling, and did not even stand up. He just sat there quietly.

The reason was simple. He could bear this kneeling. Just as the cook herself said, he gave these servants a new life.

The Ming Dynasty law stipulated that the nobles and the common people were not allowed to marry each other. In simple terms, slaves could only marry slaves, otherwise they would be punished with eighty strokes of the cane.

Slaves and their children were also slaves. It could be said that their descendants were inferior to humans and would never have a chance to rise above others.

For the cook, Wei Wu not only gave her a new life, but also gave her the right to pursue happiness.

He deserved this kneeling, so there was no need to act hypocritically.

Of course, he himself didn't like others kneeling down to him, so after receiving the cook's kneeling grace, he spoke.

"Okay, I've accepted your kindness in kneeling. You don't have to kneel any longer to talk. Get up!"

Wei Wu thought the cook would stand up, but as soon as he finished speaking, the cook not only did not stand up, but instead knocked her head down.

"Master, I have no way of repaying your kindness. Even if I stayed in the mansion to serve you and your wife for the rest of my life, it would still be difficult to repay you even a fraction."

"Now I'm resigning from my job because of my marriage. I feel so ashamed of your kindness and have no way to repay you. I can only kowtow to you."

"If there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay your kindness by becoming a cow or a horse, tying grass and holding a ring!"

Wei Wu smiled and nodded, but he automatically filtered out these words in his mind and even complained in his heart.

shit!

The so-called being a cow or a horse in the next life was all nonsense to Wei Wu, and was not even as good as a fart.

To be honest, he redeemed these servants and turned them from slaves into civilians, but he never thought about asking them to repay him.

To be realistic, they don't even have the right to repay him. After all, except for their lives, everything they have was given by Wei Wu.

His kindness to his servants was based solely on his personal wishes. He wanted to do it, so he did it.
