Although Jiangzhou women are very sought-after in Kyoto, people who are not familiar with this way are afraid of losing money even if they have "goods" in their hands. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Kyoto, Zheng Cao asked one of his hired coachmen to invite the first lady of Kyoto to come and serve as a counselor for himself.

I just waited for several hours and didn't see my wife coming, but I waited for someone to come to collect debts.

As the saying goes, there are many popular things, and the wife is well-known in this industry. The person looking for her still has to hand over the post to make an appointment in advance, and ordinary people can't see her yet. The coachman was greedy for a high pay, so he waited outside her door for a few hours before he happened to meet her and come home.

As soon as the Xingpo heard that the woman was transported from Jiangzhou, she came here with the coachman without saying a word.

Sister-in-law Zhou was afraid that she would recognize her, so she hid. I think that the wife also often corresponds with the Anguo Mansion, and has introduced a few aunts and maids to it. There are also kabuko raised by the government who also came in through her hands.

As soon as the Xingpo entered the door, she said straight to the point: "I'm also very busy, and I'll go to the county king's mansion later." You said that it was just a few second-class girls who had violated the family law, and just find a tooth aunt and let her send it away. I have to go for a trip, hey! ”

After she finished speaking, she squinted at Honggu. Honggu is just a third-rate person, otherwise she wouldn't have worked tirelessly to earn that money.

Honggu and Xingpo are considered to be peers, but the treatment is very different, Honggu is standing, and Xingpo is sitting. Honggu is both envious and red-eyed to her mother-in-law, and her teeth are itching with hatred.

"You have a lot of ......," Zheng Cao said with a smile.

"Okay, needless to say, let's 'inspect the goods' first!"

Zheng Ke and Honggu went to the backyard and opened the door, and Zheng Ke sternly admonished the women:

"Most of you also came to Kyoto voluntarily, and now it is time to become a Buddha after going through 9981 difficulties. If anyone still has that undeserved caution in their arms, I advise you to put it away quickly. If you don't worship a Buddha in the western heavens, you go to hell, so it's none of my business. ”

Although everyone didn't understand his words, they still understood the general idea. It's nothing more than an obedient person who goes to heaven and a troublemaker who goes to hell. All the women want to be a maid in a big household, and maybe there will be a monthly amount of silver to receive at that time, and it will be better than eating at home before.

Hearing Honggu say that if anyone is not taught, she will be sold to those filthy places for thousands of people to play to death, it is terrible to think about.

All the women thought so in their hearts, and a group of twenty people followed Honggu to the back of the screen in the front yard hall. I only heard the woman say:

"Come one by one!"

Honggu helped a woman out of the screen, and shouted, "Girl! ”

The woman was helped by her to the Xingpo, her hands pinned to her waist, and her knees bent slightly to bless the Xingpo. The wife said: "I also understand the number of etiquette." ”

Honggu said again: "The girl turned around!" The woman turned around and showed her the woman. The wife said: "The size is also moderate." ”

Honggu said again: "The girl borrows her hand!" The woman lifted her arms, revealing the skin of her hands and forearms. Xingpo nodded slightly.

Honggu said again: "The girl looks up!" The woman raised her head, but her eyes were still drooping, and she did not dare to look directly at the woman in front of her.

The woman asked, "How old is the girl?" The woman whispered, "Fourteen years old." ”

Honggu said again: "The girl takes two more steps forward. And the woman went on.

When the wife heard her walking, the hem of her skirt was silent and she walked silently, so she asked Honggu to lead her to her, pulled up her skirt with her own hands, and looked at the woman's feet.

"Show me her deed of sale." Xing Po said to Zheng Cao.

Zheng Cao took out a stack of deed of sale, and he didn't know which one belonged to the woman in front of him, but fortunately, Honggu recognized it. So he took it out of it and handed it to the wife.

Xing Po looked at it and thought, no wonder this woman knows how to measure etiquette, has delicate skin and a weak temperament, and turned out to be a concubine of a down-and-out literati family. Although the appearance is a little worse, it can also be an aunt for Shangjia to fill the house. She placed the deed of sale aside from the table, letting the woman stand aside, and then examined the next woman.

The next woman was born in a poor peasant family and was helped out by Honggu. Honggu asked her to pay a visit, and she walked up to the grandmother with a big grin and shouted hello to the old woman. When he walks, his feet are wide and his skin is thick and dark, but he is not shy and can look at people squarely.

Xing Po said: "This one doesn't look like a woman from Jiangzhou. ”

He looked at her face carefully, and saw that he was quite handsome, so he asked the woman to stand aside and wait.

After a while, the hall was full of people, and only Situ Cheng was left on the screen behind. Honggu didn't know that Zheng Cao would invite her to come to Beijing to see her, thinking that she would let her do this errand and help sell her.

This son is beating the drum in her heart, thinking that she lost a girl when she was in the Jizhou Inn, but fortunately a self-made child made up for the shortcomings, thinking that this matter was just fooled. What I didn't expect was that this woman from here was not a good stubble, and she didn't have her deed of sale in hand. When the time came, I was afraid that she would shout out when she came out to show her mother-in-law, so I stayed at the end.

Behind the screen, Situ Ming only heard the movement in front of her, but could not see the situation in front of her. And the woman who went out didn't see a single one walking back, and she was wondering in her heart that she was guessing wildly, so the red girl walked towards her and whispered:

"In front of me is a lady in charge of the rich mansion who is picking a maid for the mansion, and the maid is divided into three, six, nine and so on. I see that you are a first-class maid with such a clever figure, you must follow her, don't go against her mouth, and go against her will. ”

Honggu quietly instructed her, and then helped Situ Cheng out.

Situ Cheng peeked around the room, and saw that the women were divided into three teams according to their posture and weight, standing together neatly. In the middle of the hall sat an old woman dressed in red and green, with small eyes and a shrewd philistine.

Situ Cheng thought to herself that at such an age, it should be a time for children and grandchildren to have fun around their knees. But it's hard for her, she has been a subordinate to serve people until she is old, and she doesn't want to be like her. Even if you achieve the position of steward, you are still for others to call after all.

Situ Cheng didn't wait for Honggu to speak, she stepped forward and saluted her wife and asked:

"Dare to ask my mother-in-law which house is in charge?"

It only scared Honggu so much that her hands trembled, and what she told her just now was in vain.

The wife only said strange in her heart, after seeing so many women, it was the first time she met her like this, so she stepped forward to inquire about her own affairs. She didn't speak, just stared at Situ Ming.
