Chapter 18: Jiangmi Roasted Wheat (I)
Liu Yiyi has never bought and sold people, but she has seen a lot of novels on TV, in fact, there are only two kinds, one is that her biological parents sell their children; One is human traffickers. Cai'er's parents didn't show up, but she was fifteen years old and not stupid, she could clearly express her meaning, how could she not be like Aunt Wang who deceived her as a human trafficker, but why did she hesitate to call her parents?
"Miss, the old slave seems to have a problem with this Cai'er, selling her children as slaves is not a trivial matter, why didn't her father and mother even show their faces?" After Cai'er left, Liu Quan said that he was not provoking, but really felt that there was a problem.
Liu Yiyi also felt that something was wrong, but she said: "Cai'er didn't go back to call her mother, wait for someone to come, I'll talk about it, I've already agreed......" In case there is no inside story, she agreed but repented, and was passed to Lin Yuxiao's ears, what would he think of her?
But if Cai'er really has a problem, will she cause trouble for the Liu family if she accepts Cai'er?
Really, there are more than a dozen subordinates in the Liu Mansion, and I have never heard of any unclear ones, and they have come to her...... Liu Yiyi returned to her embroidery building sullenly, and Ying'er saw that Miss was coming back alone, so she happily stepped forward: "Miss, is that Cai'er stupid and unruly......"
"Cai'er can make dim sum, and people look honest." Liu Yiyi interrupted Ying'er's words, she was contradictory, and she couldn't see this girl's schadenfreude.
Then why doesn't the young lady want Cai'er? Ying'er didn't dare to ask Liu Yiyi's face when she saw it, she felt a little bit that Miss wasn't as good at talking as before these days.
Liu Yiyi thought about waiting for Cai'er's father to decide again, this is not a good person, so she doesn't want Cai'er, I believe that Lin Yuxiao will be able to distinguish right from wrong even if she hears about it, she doesn't believe that he is not as good as herself.
Cai'er said that her father and mother would come in half a day and a day, and Liu Yiyi waited from morning to evening and didn't see anyone, this is half a day, right? You can't blame her for thinking there's a problem, right? Liu Yiyi went to the big kitchen to ask Aunt Wang, but Aunt Wang just asked for leave and went out before a cup of tea.
"Aunt Wang said that she went to Cai'er's house to have a look, obviously Cai'er's mother asked her to find Cai'er's willow house, why can't she come over?" Master Bai in the big kitchen told Liu Yiyi.
The people left a message first, and Liu Yiyi didn't ask again, let's talk about it tomorrow depending on the situation.
I had breakfast the next day, and before Liu Yiyi could ask Aunt Wang if she had come back, the housekeeper Liu Quan came over first: "Miss, Lord Yue is here, and the master will let you go." ”
“…… Only-sama? Liu Yiyi still has some hope.
"It's just Lord Yue." Liu Quan replied truthfully.
“…… Got it...... "Yue Linfeng really ran to her two times in three days, in the novel, it was naturally because he fell in love with the original heroine at first sight, but what has she done now to make him pay so much attention?" She has a completely different personality from the original heroine, and the only thing she has in common is her face...... Yue Linfeng wouldn't be just a face-looking person, right!?
Liu Yiyi slowly changed into the clothes of the guests, and reluctantly went down the embroidery building, she didn't want to have too much contact with Yue Linfeng, but it was useless to hide, what if Master Liu brought Yue Linfeng to find her? Don't say anything about the ancient woman's boudoir and refusing to allow foreign men to enter, her father can do more daring things by allowing her unmarried daughter and young man to be alone!
"Miss! Miss, please save Cai'er! On the way to the living room, Aunt Wang came over in a hurry, and knelt down and kowtowed when she saw Liu Yiyi.
"What's wrong with Cai'er?" Liu Yiyi stopped.
"Miss, now the slave doesn't dare to hide it from you, Cai'er's father is not a thing, in order to marry Cai'er and her eldest brother's daughter-in-law, Cai'er will be sold to others to be small, Cai'er is dead and not a concubine, her mother begged me to find her a job as a maid, yesterday Cai'er went back to find her mother to come to the willow house to sign the deed, but her father and eldest brother knew that they were tied up, and today I will notify the Du family to pick up people!"
Aunt Wang kowtowed again and again: "Miss, now only you go to Cai'er's house and tell her father that you have bought Cai'er first, and Cai'er will not follow that Du Xiaobawang even if she dies!" ”
"Huh!? Is that Du Xiaobawang!? Ying'er exclaimed first, "Miss, you must save Cai'er!" Falling into the hands of Nadu Xiaobawang is definitely worse than death! ”
Liu Yiyi heard Du Xiaobawang's name for the first time, but even Ying'er, who was gloating, asked her to save Cai'er, which shows that Xiaobawang is too bad, "Okay, I'll go, Ying'er, you go and tell the master that I'm going out." "It just so happens that she doesn't have to go to the front hall to talk to Yue Linfeng and the snake.
Afraid that it would be too late, Liu Yiyi took Aunt Wang to take the carriage of the Liu Mansion, Aunt Wang sat next to the coachman to give directions, and Liu Yiyi listened to Aunt Wang through a curtain in the car.
The source of the matter has to start with Aunt Wang's father, there are really a lot of patriarchal people in ancient times, Aunt Wang's father and mother are the two sons as the heirs of the lineage, one of the three daughters was just born and gave away, a greedy man gave a few more taels of silver to marry, and one sold it as a maid.
Aunt Wang is the one who sold it, but she is a blessing in disguise, the old lady of the Liu family has a good temper, she is not well fed and clothed, and the husband she married is still a small steward in the old man's shop outside, which is much better than her sister, Cai'er's mother's life.
Cai'er's mother is the best-looking among the sisters, and this can be proved by looking at Cai'er, so she was sold by her father and mother to a scoundrel in a neighboring village for three taels of silver, and since then she has been beaten and kicked by her husband for laundry, cooking, childbirth, and child-rearing.
“…… My sister is a miserable girl, she gave birth to a son but has a virtue with his father, the only intimate thing is Cai'er, so she begged me to let Cai'er be a girl, only by selling * to become a subordinate of the Liu Mansion, Cai'er's father can't send Cai'er to the fire pit...... "Aunt Wang wiped her tears, since she was a child, her father didn't love her mother, only this sister kissed her."
Liu Yiyi also understood why Cai'er heard that after being a slave, her father and mother couldn't care about life and death and marriage, but her face had a little more brilliance, and she was more happy and determined to stay, this little girl would rather be a slave than a concubine, which is considered to have backbone.
Liu Yiyi heard that she wanted to help, she lifted the curtain and planned to ask in detail, but she was stunned when she saw the scenery on both sides of the road: "Aunt Wang, are we going out of the city?" ”
"Yes, Cai'er's house is from Zhang Village, not far away, half a mile out of the city." Afraid that the young lady would regret not saving Cai'er, Aunt Wang smiled and replied cautiously.
"Oh." Liu Yiyi didn't say anything more, put down the curtain and sat in the carriage, she blushed a little, Aunt Wang didn't coax her out of the city, halfway people said that her sister married to a neighboring village, the village, obviously not in the city, but she was worried about Cai'er's neighbor Xiao Shang, and imagined that when she saved Cai'er, Xiao Shang found Lin Yuxiao......
If it were Zhang Yi, she would never fantasize about such a beautiful thing, but now that she is Liu Yiyi, how can the heroine have a plot of turning evil into good fortune and killing Cheng Xiang to let people heroically save the beauty, right?
"Miss, when you get to the place, please wait in the car for a while, and the slave will notify the people of the Zhang family to come to meet you......" Aunt Wang is still very careful, she is afraid that the father and son of the Zhang family will not know Liu Yiyi's identity, and when they see this young and beautiful woman, there will be a verbal collision.
Liu Yiyi is not vigilant enough about her current appearance, she just heard that the Zhang family's father and son are not very good, and if she thinks about it, if she really has a little conscience, she will not push her daughter and sister into the fire pit for money, so she doesn't plan to be polite with this kind of person, if she can put the eldest lady's shelf, if she can scare them into handing over Cai'er, it won't be troublesome.
"Miss!" The first to run out was Cai'er, who still had tears on her face, and the eldest lady of the Liu family personally went out of the city to save her a little girl from the countryside, which made Cai'er grateful.
"Cai'er?" Liu Yiyi got out of the carriage at this time, "Are you okay?" ”
"My father has already asked my eldest brother to go to the city to find Du Xiaobawang, if it weren't for my aunt saying that Miss you are here, I would still be locked in the firewood room, but Miss you have to be careful, my father is planning to let you bargain with Du Xiaobawang, and whoever gives more money will sell me to whomever I want." Her own father wanted to sell her, but it was the eldest lady of the Liu family who had just met to save her, which really couldn't be blamed Cai'er for turning her elbow outward.
"yes, I see." Encountering this kind of thing for the first time in two lifetimes, Liu Yiyi wants to see what the father who sells his daughter at a clear price is like.
Cai'er's father is called Zhang Zhuang, and his mother, Li, didn't dare to slack off when he heard that the eldest lady of the Liu family came to their house, but one hoped to sell for a few more money, and the other hoped that his daughter could be saved.
Zhang Zhuang doesn't look like a typical villain, he is white-skinned and of medium stature, and he is believed by people when he changes his outfit and pretends to be a scholar. Li is also clear-eyed, his clothes are patched but the pulp is clean, but his face is gloomy and miserable, and his tears have not dried like Cai'er, compared with Zhang Zhuang, who has a calm expression, it is more sympathetic.
"There are a lot of daughters who sell, and I still see you for the first time when a woman sells two families, what, do you want to take a trip to the court, it just so happens that Lord Qincha is also in Mengzhou City." Liu Yiyi made a preemptive strike with a straight face.
Zhang Zhuang immediately knelt down and howled dryly: "Miss Liu, I can't help it, I was deceived by Du Xiaobawang!" ”
"Oh?" Liu Yiyi was not moved, but this Zhang Zhuang had an exaggerated expression but no chagrin, remorse, or sadness, and his acting skills were too poor.
"The little one doesn't dare to lie to the eldest lady, Cai'er is the treasure I hold in the palm of my hand! It's not that I am willing to give her to Du Xiaobawang! Zhang Zhuang pointed to the sky and swore an oath, but Aunt Wang on the side looked at it with disgust and wanted to vomit, Cai'er supported her mother Li, and the mother and daughter looked blank.
It seems that Zhang Zhuang didn't swear that the gambling curse was wrong for the first time, Liu Yiyi blinked: "Why were you deceived?" She wanted to see how shameless people could be.
Miss Liu was willing to listen, and Zhang Zhuang came to the spirit: "In order to marry his son's daughter-in-law, the little one borrowed the grandson of Du Guogong in the city, that is, the money of Du Xiaobawang, obviously borrowed five taels of silver, who knew that it was fake silver containing lead, Du Xiaobawang also bit back, and forced me to pay back fifty taels of silver, what to say about the benefit of Gali!" I'm desperate! ”
