Yan Ruojiu held the silver hairpin cautiously for a while before saying, "Mother, oops, it's really scared to death." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"You ghost girl, you still complain about others when you lie in bed, by the way, this hairpin is yours? How come my mother has never seen it? Mo asked as he put away the quilt.

"Mother, you forgot, this is Brother Ziran's birthday gift to me and the first, the **** is still wearing it for you to see, you also said that this hairpin is very beautiful, why didn't you forget it not long after?" Yan Ruojiu tilted her head and explained.

"Ao, so this hairpin looks really familiar, it's Zi Ran's gift to you for your first birthday, it's really beautiful, you too, although the hairpin is very beautiful, but it's a little angular, what are you doing in the quilt? If it or scratches you again, how can it be good? Mohs worried.

"Mother, no, but I took it out and took it out when I thought about it last night, so I don't have to worry about it." Yan Ruojiu said as she got up and stepped on her shoes, put on her coat and went to the end of the dresser.

Mo Shi looked at it and said: "You, you are always very arrogant, but the hairpin sent by Zi Ran is really special, and it is not much different from what he gave you in the past." ”

"Hehe, mother, Brother Ziran said, I'm twelve years old, and after that, it's a big girl, it's time for some decent accessories, so he gave me this hairpin, mother, don't look at this silver, but it's very heavy, I've been wearing it for a long time, and this head is also a little heavy, so I put it up for good keeping, and I don't usually wear it much." Yan Ruojiu closed the jewelry box and explained.

"The silver products are relatively heavy, it is estimated that this hairpin is still solid, this Zi Ran, I really feel sorry for you, and the things I gave you are also solid, but he is a young child with no experience, this jewelry is too heavy but loses the meaning of the jewelry." Mo said with a smile.

"Mother, as long as it's sent by Brother Ziran, I think it's good, even if I can't wear it often, I think it's very good." Yan Ruojiu paced back, took the quilt in Mo's hand, and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, what your brother Ziran gave you is good, you ghost girl, I don't know if I gave birth to you, or Ziran gave birth to you, why do you just talk to others." Although Mo is a little sour, he still laughs and jokes in the end.

Yan Ruojiu raised her eyebrows and looked back and smiled: "Mother, if you are Brother Ziran's own son, then I will also be Brother Ziran is my own brother, isn't it good that our brother and sister care for each other?" ”

"Okay, good, it's all good, my mother can't say you, you, hurry up and put down these and go to wash, and after a while, your second aunt's mother-in-law will bring some little girls and little maids to come in and let us choose, don't miss the time." Go for it. Mo Shi pushed Yan Ruojiu away from the bed, helped her clean up the bed neatly, and then put it in the cabinet with the quilt.

The house was almost cleaned up, Mo Shi sat in front of the dresser and waited for Yan Ruojiu, and when he was bored, Mo Shi cast his eyes on his daughter's jewelry box again.

I don't know if it's because after discussing the hairpin just now, Mo's unexpectedly opened the jewelry box again, and there were some small beads, earrings, and silk threads scattered inside, and the silver hairpin was particularly dazzling in it.

Mo picked up the silver hairpin and looked at it carefully in his hand, this color is really good, this texture, this hollowing, this carving is afraid that it is all first-class, Mo's heart burst into a warm smile: Zi Ran, this child is really attentive to Ah Yue.

After looking at the color, Mo also deliberately weighed the silver hairpin in his hand, this weight is indeed enough, no wonder Yan Ruojiu is reluctant to wear it for too long, this full weight is really a bit overwhelming.

After looking at the silver hairpin, Mo gently put it back in the box and covered it, Yan Ruojiu finished washing, changed her clothes, and came to the dresser to comb a pigtail briefly, and then pulled her mother Mo Shi to go out.

Mo Shi looked at Yan Ruojiu's simple outfit and said with a smile: "You girl, this is to choose a servant, your dress is also simpler, come and sit down, and my mother will help you hold the bun." ”

"Mother, it's more comfortable to hang down like this, pull up your bun, and you'll have trouble again at night, so forget it." Yan Ruojiu refused.

"You, you really don't look like a girl, come here! Sit down! Mohs was a little annoyed.

"Mother......" Yan Ruojiu still wanted to explain two sentences.

"Huh......?" Mohs lost his temper.

"Okay, okay, I'm not afraid of my mother's trouble, since my mother is willing, then my daughter naturally can't ask for it, mother, just look at it and help me save my head." Yan Ruojiu saw that Mo Shi was a little worried, so he was very eye-catching, and obediently rubbed back to the chair and said with a smile.

"You......" Mo Shi was amused by his daughter's completely different reactions, which was amused and helpless, but in the end, he still helped Yan Ruojiu comb her hair in a more graceful bun and put some tassels on it, which looked particularly lively and cunning.

At this time, it was also a coincidence, so Yan Ruojiu was dressed properly, and the voice of the mother-in-law asking for instructions was heard at the door, and Mo knew that this was the person who came.

After Mo let Yan Ruojiu drink two sips of tea, he took Yan Ruojiu to the main room first, and after a while, the housekeepers and mothers-in-law took dozens of young girls into the courtyard.

After asking Mo's instructions, these dozens of girls were taken into the front hall in one go, and Mo and Yan Ruojiu sat on the seats and looked at each other for questioning, of course, mainly Mo's questioning, Yan Ruojiu followed and watched.

These dozen or so girls are roughly sixteen or seventeen years old, and they are all of medium color, mostly of well-proportioned body shapes, and they are all carefully raised, not like they are going to be slaves and maids at all, Yan Ruojiu is a little curious, the difference between the big girl in the capital and the north is really big.

Mo asked one by one, Yan Ruojiu followed and looked at them one by one, and among the group of people, Yan Ruojiu inadvertently caught a glimpse of light green.

It's not that this light green is beautiful, but Yan Ruojiu saw the very hidden stitches and patches on this light green, just at the hem of the skirt, this actually very secret patch made Yan Ruojiu a little stunned, since they are all big girls who have been carefully raised, how can there be patches, Yan Ruojiu felt strange in her heart, and her eyes slowly moved up from this light green place.

Until she saw the face of the owner of this light green patch, Yan Ruojiu was a little in a trance, although this girl lowered her head slightly, but there was a slight melancholy and stubbornness between her eyebrows, her lifelong aura was always different from these girls around her, she was really quiet, but quiet that people couldn't ignore.

Yan Ruojiu's eyes have been looking at this girl, but this girl has not raised her head, she has been slightly lowered, waiting quietly, even if she can detect Yan Ruojiu's eyes, but she is still waiting quietly, without the slightest eagerness and panic, this kind of temperament makes Yan Ruojiu more interested.

The light green girl kept her head slightly bowed until Mo Shi asked one by one, and it was her turn that Yan Ruojiu could see her raise her head slightly, and smiled calmly: "Mrs. Hui, my name is Ye Qing, I am fifteen years old this year, and I have no relatives except for a ten-year-old brother." ”

"Ye Qing" Yan Ruojiu muttered in her heart: What a random name, but it is not worthy of this girl's bearing and appearance.

Mo continued to ask, "If you enter the mansion as a maidservant, who will take care of your brother?" ”

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, my sister and brother have always wanted to rely on each other until today, I entered the house as a maid, and my younger brother is indeed not settled, if Mrs. does not dislike it, the younger brother is also in the ranks of today's small servants, Mrs. can accept our sister and brother kindly, then it is the blessing of Ye Qing and his younger brother." Although Ye Qing was pleading, the perseverance between his eyebrows was still so distressing.

Yan Ruojiu opened her mouth and asked, "What's your brother's name?" ”

Ye Qing was stunned for a moment and smiled slightly: "Back to the girl, my brother's name is Ye Lan, and he is in the ranks of the little ones to be selected." ”

Yan Ruojiu pondered for a moment and said, "What if only you are left today?" ”

Ye Qing smiled slightly: "Then Ye Qing can only be sorry, I have been with my brother for my life so far, no one has ever left anyone, even if I am a slave, I can't give up my brother, if the lady and the girl can only leave me alone, then Ye Qing can only refuse, otherwise, my brother will no longer have anyone to take care of him." ”

Ye Qing's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but the tears in the corners of her eyes and the persistence on her face made people a little unbearable, Yan Ruojiu smiled slightly: "Okay, I know, mother, you can continue." ”

After a short interlude, Mo continued to ask, and for half an hour, the girls in this room also asked thoroughly, and the housekeeper's mother-in-law saw this and took the person down first, so that Mo and Yan Ruojiu had a discussion.

Mo Shi asked Yan Ruojiu directly: "This maid is chosen for you, which one do you like today?" ”

Yan Ruojiu tilted her head and smiled: "Mother knows." ”

"That girl named Ye Qing?" Mohs asked with an eyebrow.

"Well, among these girls, I also look at her, and I don't like the others, my mother can decide for herself, but if she is with me, I hope it is the girl named Ye Qing." Yan Ruojiu is really more inclined to Ye Qing.

"Why?" Although Mo knew that her daughter seemed to pay special attention to Ye Qing, she didn't know the specific reason.

"Mother, this is a matter of the eye, so what's the reason." Yan Ruojiu couldn't explain it clearly, but she felt that Ye Qing was the first.

"But mother, I look at that girl like a person with a lot of sadness, although her temperament and appearance are outstanding, but my mother is afraid that her temperament is not very good, and it may not be suitable for you." Mo Shi was a little worried, she could also see that the temperament exuded by the girl named Ye Qing was different from the girls around her, some sad, and some tenacious, there was still a trace of arrogance between her eyebrows, she thought about choosing a maidservant, naturally she chose the best one who was smart and dexterous, and worked hard, but this Ye Qing looked at it was really much higher than the average small family girl, and Mo was a little worried.

"Mother, didn't you say that this maid was chosen for me, then naturally I like it, besides, doesn't she have a younger brother in his early tens, and when the time comes, let's buy it together, and let her brother accompany Wen Xiu to read and write." Yan Ruojiu even had to arrange Ye Qing's younger brother.

Mo Shi knew her daughter's temperament, and once she identified it, she couldn't get it back even if she was ten cows, but she was still a little worried, so she asked the housekeeper to bring her mother in with her mother in for questioning.

Ya Pozi entered the door, saluted respectfully, and then smiled flatteringly: "I don't know if Mrs. and the girl have a good candidate?" ”

Mo smiled slightly: "There are a few favorites, but there are still some things to ask you." ”

Ya Pozi smiled: "Madame, even if you ask, as long as the little one knows, she will never hide it." ”

Mo Shi first asked a few other girls about the situation, and then asked, "Also, what is the situation at home with that girl named Ye Qing?" ”

Ya Pozi was stunned for a moment and said with some regret: "Hey...... Don't hide from Mrs. said, this Ye Qing girl is indeed a poor child, she is not a small one I bought and raised, but took the initiative to find the small one, asked to be a maid, the little one looked at her full bearing, how can she look like a girl from a good family, so she took extra care of her, she was only a little more than ten years old when she first came to Xiao's side, and she also had a younger brother who was less than five years old, which made people feel even more distressed. ”

The look of pity on the face of the tooth woman made Mo a little surprised, this tooth woman is the most cold-blooded person, this buy and sell is just a human goods, make some silver taels, to say that it is really distressing, but it is unbelievable.

However, Mo Shi did not expose the hypocrisy of the tooth mother, but continued to ask: "Then did she talk about the situation at home?" ”

"The little one also asked later, Ye Qing girl said that her family had no relatives except for her younger brother, saying that she was also a girl from a healthy small family before, but unfortunately the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, her mother died of illness when she was six years old, and her father disappeared at the age of seven, and the relatives in the family did not want to be dragged down, so there was no one to take care of her, so she took the little brother who was waiting to be fed to suffer alone, and it was not until she was more than ten years old that she entered the little one's side, but they were all sad things, she didn't want to mention more, and the little one didn't want to ask more, so as not to hurt her." Ya Pozi explained.

"Hey...... It's a poor girl. When Mo heard this, he sighed.
