After eating, Amber pulled the bud into the room.

The little boy looked worried, lowered his voice and whispered: "Sister, why do they want you to choose a maid? What do they want to do?"

Yaya shook her head, "It's okay, don't worry, they want them, and we have to be willing." ”

Amber was still worried, "Last year, the eldest cousin of the second uncle's family suddenly got married, and I secretly heard my mother and father say that she, she married an old man who forced his wife to death, just because he was a scholar of the state school, and he could help the eldest cousin get the title of the head of a child test." ”

The Xiao family has been squeezing into the court for many years, and Uncle Xiao has taken the exam seven or eight times, and the second place fell to Sun Shan, and he sent out a lot of silver, and wanted to donate a tribute, but he threw a lot of silver down, and the splash did not splash a few.

The year before last, Xiao Wen, the eldest son of the big house, took the child test, and for the name of the head of the case, he sent money and land, not to mention, and married Xiao Ping'er, the eldest daughter of the second room, to Xuezheng, a dead wife and a second marriage in Zhouxue.

Phew, a yellow flower girl changes the name of the head of the case.

Woman, in the Xiao family, it is really worthless.

"Don't talk nonsense, my eldest cousin has been studying since he was a child, maybe he took the exam himself. ”

Yaya sighed softly, "That old man may just pick up a rich daughter-in-law for nothing, it's really hard to say how much he will do it." ”

Amber suddenly smiled bitterly, he was worried that his sister would follow in the footsteps of his eldest cousin, and as a result, his sister still had the leisure to joke.

"I didn't say that I would let you pick a maid or anything before, but this time - sister, you're almost there. Do you remember your eldest cousin? When she was married the year before last, she didn't get married, but she got married in early February. ”

The little kid remembers it clearly.

The children's test began in April, and the county test, the hospital test, and the government test were all the way down.

The person in charge of the county test is Qingtian County Cheng, the elder brother of Xiao Er's wife, and Xiao Wen's later father-in-law, who got the promise of marrying his daughter and gave the name of the head of the county test on the spot.

At the beginning of June, the hospital examination was going to be examined, and in order to protect the name of the head of the hospital examination, Xiao Ping'er and the state school in charge of this matter were appointed in advance.

Although the marriage was in a hurry, and even the sister-in-law Xiao Die'er was not notified, it should not have been decided suddenly.

It's a man-for-man, man-for-profit trade.

All three parties benefit.

Although Dafang said that he had a daughter-in-law who was not very satisfied, his son Xiao Wen successfully became the head of the three children's examinations and became famous in Fuzhou.

Although the second room folded a daughter-in-law, the niece of the second room married the eldest son of the Xiao family as she wished, and the mother's family got a good son-in-law, got a large piece of land as a dowry, and exchanged a daughter for a son-in-law, and the relationship between the Wang family and the Xiao family became closer.

Zhou Xuexuezheng, an old man who forced his wife to death, got money, land, and a delicate and tender new daughter-in-law.

Only Xiao Ping'er is a complete victim.

"I heard that Master Xuezheng didn't cherish his eldest cousin very much, took away her dowry, and beat her and scolded her at every turn. ”

The little boy's face was eager to write a few big words: My stupid sister, do you understand what I mean?

Yaya touched his head, the little kid was quite clever, but it was just a girl's words, and she immediately guessed the truth.

"Who did you listen to?"

"Wei-Niang said. ”

Fart, will my mother say this to you, little brat?

Ya Ya glanced at him, Wei Wangchu is this goods, why are you talking to Amber about this.

"Don't worry, I'm not a big cousin, I promise they won't succeed. ”

"Then, what if they force us? The Xiao family has a big business, and we can't fight. ”

The little boy had already measured a lot in the blink of an eye.

Tough on the head, they must not be opponents.

"What if they insist on leaving you behind and not letting you go home?"

The little boy blinked like an ant on a hot pot, what should he do if he was like that? The Xiao family is so powerful, how can he and his sister break through the encirclement?

Oh no, I fell for Brother Xiao Wu, and I shouldn't have come to visit my aunt at all-

"If we knew this was the case, we shouldn't have come to see any aunt, I guess she wasn't sick either, like she wanted to bring us here?"

Bud Bud pressed Amber's hand, "Don't worry, Amber. ”

"Think about it, even if they want to exchange their daughters for benefits, they have to be obedient, right?"

"Mother is disobedient, but mother, mother's end-"

Amber was crying.

"How good my mother and father are, what will not end!"

Bud slapped him on the head.

"That's my mother's struggle. ”

Amber nodded, quietly looking at her sister with panic.

"Think about it, if the eldest cousin was a little stronger, would she be in such a situation?"

Amber couldn't think of a good way to get the best of both worlds, her mother's temperament was fierce, and she jumped off the cliff - so high, that is, her life was big, what if, what if, died?

"If I am the eldest cousin, I will definitely turn the Xiao family upside down first, if I still insist on marrying the old man, I will blow the wind in my ears and ask the old man to give the eldest cousin a failure, if the old man does not listen to me, he will be slaughtered with a knife——"

The starlight in the girl's eyes is resolute.

"Even if the net is broken, it will never make the Xiao family happy!"

Why, your daughter is suffering outside, and you are enjoying happiness at home?

is like a mother, return the skin given by the Xiao family to them, and don't rely on the skills learned by the Xiao family to eat, grow vegetables and farm, why can't you eat a full meal?

Amber looked at such a sister, and felt relieved, scared, and guilty, he was a man, and he couldn't think of a way to protect his sister?

I secretly decided to discuss it with Brother Wei.

"Miss?"

Natsuwa's voice sounded outside the door.

Yaya raised her eyebrows, "Sister Xia He, what's the matter?"

"The shopkeeper of the color clothing shop came in person and brought some materials for you to choose. ”

"Okay, here we go. ”

Bud Ya patted Amber with a worried face, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

There are also stores in Fushan Town, but the price is expensive and not affordable, and the girls rarely go to the shop, they like to visit the cloth shop, and Xiao Dieer will naturally tailor all kinds of good-looking clothes for them.

Ya Ya looked at the picture album brought by the shopkeeper, most of them were complicated brocade clothes, beautiful and beautiful, but she didn't have a trace of appreciation at the moment.

The pig coughed before the guillotine, and did not have the leisure to appreciate the carving of the guillotine, whether the carving was good.

Bud buds go against the aesthetics of human beings.

What pine flower green embroidered red peony wide sleeve curved skirt with orange pleated skirt, wide sleeves to use thicker gold embroidered red gold auspicious clouds.

What a tender green snow-splensed shirt with a rose-red full-breasted skirt, the chest should be embroidered with gold thread to show the flying golden crane ascending to heaven.

What a big red embroidered green lotus cloud brocade shirt with dark green embroidered red and yellow carp horse face skirt.

In the end, three sets of spring shirts and three sets of summer shirts were decided, all of which were strange colors of red and green, plus various patterns embellished with gold and silver silk threads, how could it be described as bright and rich.

Shocked to hear that the shopkeeper wouldn't laugh, and Amber couldn't keep his mouth shut when he laughed.

Second Lady Xiao chuckled softly when she heard this, "Little trick." ”

Turning his head and saying to the maid, "Go, tell the shopkeeper to follow the color of Miss Biao, but the clothes should be good-looking, isn't it red and green? ”

Why did you ask the shopkeeper to come to the door in person?

I know that this loach can't be honest.

"Let's go. ”

Second Mrs. Xiao took a group of maids to be selected and went to Chunxiao Courtyard in a mighty way.

Bud Ya was picking tweed in Amber's yard, and when she saw Second Mrs. Xiao coming in, she squinted and smiled, and called out.

"What are you doing with Yaya and Amber?"

"Pick flowers, you will make rouge for a while, do you want the second aunt, I will make some for you?"

Second Mrs. Xiao looked at the purple-red flower in her hand and shook her head, what color rouge can this make?

"No need, the second aunt is old, and she doesn't need rouge anymore. ”

looked at Ya Ya's slightly dark face, "Hey, is there no suitable gouache rouge around Ya Ya?" After a while, I asked someone from the Treasure Pavilion to send some to the door, you can choose whatever you want." ”

If you have to make your own rouge, you can't afford it.

Yaya smiled indifferently, "Thank you for your kindness, but the rouge color of the Treasure Pavilion is not good-looking, and I still make it myself." ”

Second Mrs. Xiao looked at the purple and red flowers in her basket and said with a smile: "Our buds are really tasteful." Come, Yaya, second aunt brought you some maids, can you see if there is anything with your eyes?"

There were seven or eight maids in a row, followed by three or five mothers-in-law.

"Our young lady of the Xiao family, there is a first-class maid and two second-class maids around her, and two miscellaneous mothers-in-law are waiting together, you can choose whatever you want. ”

Yaya smiled, "Three maids, two mothers-in-law, and a girl actually want five people to serve?"

The corners of the girl's mouth were slightly hooked, but there was cold cream hanging on the corners of her eyes.

"I'm just a peasant girl, I usually serve my parents and parents at home, and it's okay to serve people, but I really don't know what to let them do. ”

Second Mrs. Xiao covered her mouth and smiled, "Look at our Chunxiao Courtyard, don't so many houses and such a big yard have to be cleaned?" Make beds and quilts, wash laundry and take food, boil water and make tea...... Ouch, there is so much work, our young ladies are all arrogant and expensive, how can they do it?"

Ya Ya laughed, "This kind of work is used to doing at home." ”

"Hey, didn't the second aunt say, Ya Ya, what did you live in the past......" The old woman made a gesture to cry and wiped away her non-existent tears, "Fortunately, you are now at our Xiao family, you naturally don't need to do these jobs, you can be a young lady, who still wants to be a maid?"

After all, I couldn't help it, so I chose a girl and a mother-in-law.

"Plus Chunzhi and Xia He, it's enough, Xia He is very good, let her be a first-class maid. ”

Yueyin immediately doubled, and Xia He knelt down happily.

Xia He took the girl and her mother-in-law to settle down, and the others were taken back.

"Second aunt, I don't know how the eldest aunt is doing, can we go and visit her?"

Second Mrs. Xiao patted Yaya's hand, "You have a heart, Dr. Wei is just treating your aunt, saying that she has angina pectoris caused by blocked heart-lung meridians, and the treatment is also acupuncture." ”

The woman took Ya Ya's hand, "This time should also be done with acupuncture, let's go, I'll take you to have a look." ”

Yaya took Amber's hand, followed Mrs. Xiao through the garden, admired the thousands of purples and thousands of reds, turned to the edge of the pool, watched the fish grab food, and finally arrived at Uncle Xiao and Mrs. Xiao's Qiushui Courtyard.
