Chapter 346 Receiving the Maid (I)
Guo Lin saw that Chunyu was pondering again because of this question, and he couldn't bear to see her bother, so he opened his mouth to change the topic.
"I said that you should listen to this matter, just to let you not ignore it, and think about it carefully when you are free." Guo Lin said, and asked her again: "No matter what you plan to do in the future, you will always have to be physically inconvenient, don't you consider buying a maid to serve by your side?" After all, Yun'er only collected money and helped you, but she couldn't serve you. ”
"I've thought about it too, so I've only thought about it for the past few days, and I still have to find a maid to take with me. No matter what you do, you can't live here for a long time, and Yun'er can't follow me. Just ......"
Chunyu said that she hesitated here, she didn't want to buy a maid in the hands of that person's teeth, after all, those children were sold for silver because of family difficulties, and they didn't want to take them to other places in the future, so that they would leave their hometowns and go to other places.
Guo Lin is such a smart person, seeing that Chunyu has roughly guessed her thoughts, knowing that she has always been kind at heart, and she doesn't want to buy a child with a family to serve. But this orphan is difficult to find, it seems that he has to go to Xu Zhixian for help, let him explain to his subordinates, and see if there are any orphans in Qiantang who want to sell themselves as little maids.
When both of them were thinking, they heard Xu Datou ask outside: "My lord, we passed by the almshouse, and the steward there recognized that this was your car, stopped it to thank you, and wanted to invite you in to drink some tea and eat something!" Shall we stop? ”
Guo Lin stopped thinking at this time, lifted the curtain and looked, and sure enough, he saw Steward Fang. He was originally the mayor of Xiayu Town, but he had no choice but to open his granary to help the villagers, but his youngest son starved to death because of it. The villagers respected him very much for this. However, because everyone couldn't live anymore, he suggested that everyone go outside to beg for a living together, so he also became one of the large number of refugees.
This time, the refugees were also roughly renovated, so that dozens of people really lived in it, and used the money allocated by the disaster relief to buy daily necessities and rice for them. Xu Zhixian also listened to Guo Lin's advice, and distributed the long-abandoned sandy land by the lake to these victims, and according to the population, except for children, each person can also get three or five points.
Therefore, these people know that Guo Lin, the Lord of the Qincha, has done a lot of things for them, and they forgive the fact that they almost ran into him that day, and also broke his carriage and damaged his horse, which makes them very grateful to Dade. Therefore, their lives are barely stable, so they want to thank him. It happened that today, the steward saw Guo Lin's carriage passing by at the door, so he hurriedly stopped it, and wanted to invite Guo Lin in to have a cup of tea and something to eat, and to express his gratitude.
“…… Stop the car and we'll see. Guo Lin originally thought that he would tell Steward Fang that he didn't need to, but when he got it, he suddenly thought of Chunyu's maid, so he immediately had an idea and instructed Xu Datou.
"I'm not going, Brother Lin Zi, I'll wait for you in the car." Chunyu didn't really want to go, so he said.
"I really need you to go over this time." Guo Lin said with a smile.
"Why?" The spring rain is incomprehensible.
"Let's go, you'll know when you arrive." Guo Lin said mysteriously.
Seeing this, Chunyu had no choice but to smile helplessly, and followed him out of the carriage and into the almshouse.
It's just that when they got there, they sat on the chairs in the antechamber of the almshouse, which could barely be used as a living room, and received very warm hospitality and greetings from the people here, so although the food they entertained was very simple, and the tea they made was sweet tea from the roots of wild bamboo shoots dug by themselves, Chunyu still felt that it was very good.
"Steward Fang, I actually need your help with something." Guo Lin suddenly said to the other party at this time.
"If you have something to do, you just have to tell me, where do you need to be so polite to the old man." Steward Fang heard this and hurriedly said, Chunyu also looked at Guo Lin curiously.
"That's right, my friend needs to buy a maid, but he wants to find an innocent, helpless orphan, who meets this condition is very difficult to find, so I want you to see it...... After all, you should have such children here, and probably no more than thirteen or fourteen. Guo Lin opened her mouth and said, after saying that Chunyu understood, she didn't expect that Guo Lin was thinking about her all the time, and her heart was moved again.
"It's easy to say, the old man only counted the status of our people a few days ago, so I still remember, there are three who meet your conditions, I asked someone to bring them over, let this girl take a look, if you like it, it will be considered a blessing for this child." Steward Fang said with a smile.
"Okay." Guo Lin glanced at Chunyu and saw her nodding, then he said again: "It's troublesome." ”
"No matter how polite you are, my lord, you will torment the old man." Steward Fang hurriedly said, and then returned a salute before hurriedly going to look for someone.
After a while, Steward Fang brought someone over, but it was four, and as soon as he came in, he said a little embarrassedly: "It was originally considered three, but Erya heard that the girl wanted to buy a maid, so she had to follow." Although this child is a little small, he still has a hard broken leg, but he is ...... Girl, you choose yourself, if it is one of the pictures, ask her opinion, agree to sell herself as a slave, I will give you her deed, and pass her identity to your name. ”
Chunyu saw it as early as after the second girl came in. A thin and weak little girl, walking is still a little bumpy, but she is also known by Chunyu. This girl named Erya who looks to be about ten years old is the girl they saved in the spring rain that day. The disease is completely cured, but unfortunately, as the doctor said, it is destined to be a cripple in the future. Although Chunyu has only been with her for less than two days, she can see that this child is very optimistic and cheerful, and his personality is also smart and clever, which is a pity......
Chunyu felt pitiful, so she had a preconceived idea and wanted to buy her, even if she was crippled, she didn't care. Then she took a general look at the other three girls, the one on the left hand side was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was also handsome, but those eyes didn't seem to be very honest, and she secretly had a lot of spring rain since she came in, and finally her eyes lit up and fixed on Guo Lin, and she didn't avoid it anymore. Next to her was a person who was about the same age as her, but she kept her head down, as if she was afraid of people, and for some reason Chunyu suddenly remembered Liu Yiting who had just left, so she didn't like it too much. As for the remaining child, he was about eleven or twelve years old, but he was a little dark and strong, and he was quite tall.
