Chapter 33: Buying a Servant

Looking at the empty, dirty, and messy house, Ding Yiyi felt that it was necessary to hurry up and buy two mothers-in-law and a few maids to clean the room, otherwise how could he live in it? Looking around, well, I had to buy a few servants, and this house also needed a loyal housekeeper, so that it would look like a mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The family who bought the house drove home in a carriage, Ding Dashan held the deed and key in his hand and couldn't believe it, only a few months from the dilapidated thatched house to the brick house with blue bricks and gray tiles, and bought a yard in the town, and now they still hold the deed of the house they just bought, they have changed from a peasant in the countryside to an old lady in the city, and the past seems to be as clear as yesterday.

The carriage stopped at the small courtyard of Ding's house, several people got out of the carriage and opened the door and walked into the house, Xiao Chen was already dozing off when he got into the carriage, and now he slept sweetly, and he didn't wake up even when he got home, Ding Chen carried him into the house and put him on the bed, pulled the quilt on the bed and carefully covered him.

Ding Dashan and Ding Yiyi were drinking tea in the living room, Ding Chen walked in, Ding Dashan handed over the deed to Ding Chen: "This is the deed, you put it away and put it in a proper place, and the house will be ours in the future, these are all earned by Yiyi, and in the future, this house will have half of her, so you can't wronged her." Ding Chen took the deed and put it in his arms: "I don't know that the good life we can live now is all due to Yiyi? I won't wronged my daughter for my son! When we get married in the future, I will definitely prepare a thick dowry for her." ”

"Mother, what do you say! I will be filial to you in the future, so I don't want to marry. Ding Yiyi pouted and said, she hadn't thought about this problem before, after all, she had been going to school at that time, so she never cared about the marriage of men and women. "Silly child, how can a girl not marry, your father and I want you to accompany us, but we can't delay you selfishly!" Ding Chen was sad when he remembered that he couldn't see his daughter often in the future.

"Oh, mother, I'm still young, let's talk about this later! Why don't we go buy some servants while we have nothing to do? and find a housekeeper, what do you say?" Ding Yiyi saw that her mother was talking farther and farther, and opened the topic.

"Yes, the house has not been inhabited for a long time, and it needs to be cleaned well before anyone can live in it. Cuilian and I stayed at home to take care of Xiao Chen, you go, with you, I don't worry about your father being cheated honestly. Ding Chen thought for a while and said, Xiao Chen is still sleeping and can't do without people.

The house has been bought, that is his own home, Ding Dashan drove the carriage with Ding Yiyi to the person who bought Cuilian last time, and when he saw that Ding Dashan was coming, he knew that he was an acquaintance, so he was very enthusiastic.

"Master Ding, Miss Ding, you are here, what kind of servants do you want to buy this time?" The man was deeply impressed by this eight or nine-year-old girl, the little girl had sharp eyes, and she was very experienced in picking servants, but he heard that the Ding family was just an ordinary farmer before, and it seemed that the rumors were not credible, and this little girl was a good person.

"Do you have anyone here? We want to buy a few servants and maids, and we also want to buy two mothers-in-law who cook and do laundry, and by the way, we also need a coachman, I wonder if you have the right person here?" Ding Yiyi said the person who needs to be bought, the housekeeper she has thought about it, it is quite suitable to let Cuilian's brother be a housekeeper, can be literate and martial, the brother and sister can still live together, presumably they will be very happy with their own arrangement, buying servants here can rarely meet the right person to be a housekeeper, Cuilian's brother is affectionate and righteous, he is a good person, she has to cultivate well.

"Yes, there were several waves of people after you left, no, some people just came yesterday, these people are fleeing from other places, I heard that there was a flood in the south not long ago, and many people died, and the disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court is not much in the hands of the people, so look at the many people fleeing from the famine here, and some of them have come to our town, as long as they can take care of food. The man said that he also wanted to do some good deeds and accumulate some virtue.

"I don't know if these people want to sign a death deed or a living deed? We want to buy a servant with a death deed, after all, it is more reassuring to have the deed of sale in our own hands. Ding Yiyi said. There is a big difference between the death deed and the living deed, the death deed is the person who is the main family in this life, what the main family says is what it is, it is an accessory of the main family, the living deed is different, you can wait until you have saved enough money or leave after the expiration of the period, and the people who do business will buy some dead deed maids, unless you need someone to help take care of the family temporarily will buy those short-term living deed maids.

"Then I'll bring some of the people who live the deed, and you see if there are any who are satisfied. The man knew what the Ding family meant, he hurriedly said that he would draw the referral fee anyway, and there was little difference between the death deed and the living deed for him, those who sold their bodies always had all kinds of misfortunes and needed to sell their bodies for money urgently, he was just building a thread, and helping these hard-working people find a good master He can also be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good.

After a while, the man brought more than a dozen people over, probably because the Ding family was more impressed by the last time he bought a servant, so he found someone according to the standard last time. Four teenagers, four young girls, two mothers-in-law, two middle-aged men.

Ding Yiyi carefully looked at the row of people in front of her, yes, it met her standards very well, she was healthy, her eyes were decent, and her clothes were tattered but neat. Ding Yiyi asked them to stretch out their hands to take a look, these people have a thin layer of cocoons on their hands, it may be that they have escaped from the famine and have endured hardships, especially the cocoons on the hands of the two mothers-in-law and the two men are relatively thick, and they should also be diligent people. These people are all cleanly washed, and there is no black dirt in their nails, they should also be people who love cleanliness.

In the end, Ding Yiyi and Ding Dashan discussed and left four teenagers, four girls, two mothers-in-law and one of the middle-aged men, because they only needed a coachman, and the other middle-aged man didn't seem to be able to catch the car.

Maybe it's because the people who fled the famine are dying and sick, so these people don't have any relatives around, some are orphans, some are unvalued concubines, or people who are not favored at home, and some are parents who are no longer there and were sold by uncles and uncles, so no one begged Ding Yiyi to take their family away.

One of the mother-in-law and the middle-aged man are husband and wife, and the other mother-in-law is the only one left in the family, so there is nothing to worry about. The couple's child has died, and the parents have died on the way to escape the famine because they are too old, so these people can be regarded as carefree, Ding Yiyi is very satisfied with this, and there will be no trouble in the future.
