The third little girl took a step forward with a cower, very nervous, "I... The slave maid is ten years old this year, called Erya, signing... Sign the deed of death, have been helping to do farm work at home, don't look at my age, I can do laundry, cooking, feeding pigs and chopping wood, and I have a good memory, I can learn anything. Girl, I'm going to do a good job, I won't eat much, please. ”

Erya was a little scared, several families had come to see her before, but they didn't choose her, Granny Wang had already scolded her last night, if she stayed any longer, she would be sold into the kiln. This girl doesn't look like she can beat and scold people, and she shouldn't be bad for her subordinates.

Xin Ran didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and pointed to the next one, Er Ya was a little desperate, could it be that he was really hopeless?

"Slave Wu Yue, twenty-six this year, signed a living deed, and used to work at home, and only came out to find work when it was difficult at home."

……

……

Several people quickly finished speaking, and they were all a little nervous waiting for the result, Xin Ran didn't say who to choose, only said, "You guys stretch out your hand and I'll take a look." ”

Most people's hands are working hands, and their hands are thick calluses, only Yan Hong and another man have clean hands, but Yan Hong's thumb and index finger have calluses, it seems that they often do needlework, and they should be more favored maids in the former master's house, but their brains are not bright. Xin Ran looked at the other man with a smile, and the young man who looked directly at him blushed and retracted his hand.

Xin Ran had already figured out who to buy, so she waited for Mrs. Wang to come, and after a while, no one came, and a voice came, "Mrs. Wang, please, you can ask for a doctor for Songzi and her mother, she can't stand it anymore, and when I make money, I will pay you back." A voice full of pleading pleading.

"I said you old man Li, you voluntarily sold yourself to me at the beginning, I pity you and gave me an extra tael, I am a Ya Po, where are you and me, the almshouse? Go, go, don't get in my way. Wang Yapo said impatiently.

"Mrs. Wang, please, my daughter-in-law is really not good, please do well, ask a doctor to show her, I will send you the monthly money in the future, okay." "Monthly money? You're almost sixty, who else wants? How many big families want to farm? Don't dream, if it weren't for your daughter-in-law's cooking skills, I wouldn't have accepted you, but I didn't expect it to be delayed for so long, and I regret keeping you. ”

Woo, woo, woo, whoa, I don't know where the child's cry came, and it sounded weird and miserable. Xin Ran listened to a rough idea, and originally wanted to hear it, but he didn't expect a child to cry. She was going to take a look, handed Xin Guo to Aunt Xin to hold, and motioned for them to sit here, she followed the sound with Xiao Yang and walked over, only to see an old man kneeling on the ground with a child about one year old, the old man lowered his head, looked down on his expression, but his body trembled slightly, and the child in his arms was crying.

"Mrs. Wang, what's going on? How the child cried. "How do I know, it's not mine." "The child is hungry...... old man said sadly.

"Mrs. Wang, you better get him something to eat, it's okay for the child to cry all the time." Xiao Yang couldn't look past it and said.

"Okay, okay, Steward Yang has said that there is nothing to do. There's still a little leftover, so let's eat it with pickles. Stop howling. Mrs. Wang went to serve a small bowl of rice, dug up a little pickle and brought it over.

"Girl, let's go to the front hall, it's a mess here. Have you picked someone? Still satisfied, right? Putting the food on the ground, Wang Yapo said flatteringly with a flattering face. Xin Ran didn't say that he was satisfied or dissatisfied, but just shook his head slightly. Mrs. Wang secretly screamed when she saw it, but she didn't fancy any of them?

Old man Li and the others walked away and couldn't hear any sound, so they stood up tremblingly with the child in their arms, slowly hooked their waists, squatted down, and picked up the food. One foot deep and the other shallow moved back.

Pushing open a small room in the innermost part of the backyard with his elbow, a woman was lying on a bed, "Child, mother, wake up, there is a bowl of food, you can eat it with the child." The person on the bed moved his head slightly, and said in a weak voice, "Dad? I think I hear my child crying? "If the child is hungry, you can eat too." Don't worry, wait for Dad to find you a doctor. ”

The woman was sad when she heard this, how could the princess be so kind, otherwise she would not have found her father-in-law when she was sick, and signed them with five taels of silver, if she tried desperately to stop the princess, even her own son would be a slave. Now, who would buy someone with a child?

"Dad, eat, I'm not hungry." Her body knows that her husband had an accident before the child was full moon, and she was suffering from a heart disease, if she didn't have a child, she might as well die.

"Dad is not hungry, I'll go get some hot water, you feed the child quickly, the pine nuts are hungry." After soaking the rice, the child ate more than half of it, and only after a few mouthfuls did the woman put it in her mouth. The child is still not sensible, he is full, he plays with his hands, and he falls asleep.

When he arrived at the front hall, Xin Ran sat down in his original position and asked in a flat tone, "What's the matter with the big and small ones just now?" Mrs. Wang was now afraid that Xin Ran would go back without asking anything, and when she heard this, she hurriedly replied, "Blame me for my kindness, I took them in because they were pitiful, but I didn't expect that Old Man Li's daughter-in-law couldn't afford to be sick and was dying, and there was a one-and-a-half-year-old drag, and she regretted me to death." ”

Xin Ran pondered for a moment, "They always have some strengths, right?" Otherwise, you won't take it. "Girl, I am really kind, I saw that they were pitiful and took them in ......, but I heard that Old Man Li used to be a good farmer, and all agricultural things grew better in his hands, but now that he is old, he doesn't know whether to plant or not. His daughter-in-law is a good cook, it is said that her ancestors have been in the imperial kitchen, and later she is nostalgic for her hometown. It's just that it's long gone now, otherwise I wouldn't have married a farmer. ”

Under Xin Ran's affirmative gaze, Mrs. Wang had to tell the story roughly.

"What about her husband? Isn't it a thing? Xin Ran wondered how the family had fallen to this. Mrs. Wang is not good at saying that she framed others, so she only said vaguely, "Her husband died, I heard that he was an honest man, and he didn't know how to lose his life, leaving only the old and the young, and his daughter-in-law was widowed before the confinement was finished." ”

"Okay, I see, I've seen it too. I want these two, plus Daddy Li's family. Xin Ran pointed to Fang Rong and Erya behind him and said. Fang Rong was still expressionless, only tugging at the corners of his mouth. Erya was about to cry excitedly, the girl is really a good person, thank you girl, thank you girl, she muttered silently in her heart. Yan Hong saw that she was not selected, she was both relieved and a little resentful, she didn't know what was wrong with her.
