Chapter 248: The Jiang Family
The two people who came with Aunt Zhu smiled and thanked them, and then went up with a wooden basin to pick up clothes, while Aunt Zhu secretly stuffed some broken silver over, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Zhang, I heard that Mrs. Jiang wants to choose a personal maid for Miss, I don't know if anyone has chosen it?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhang accepted the money, and her face looked much better: "What, there is a girl in your family who sells it?" ”
"No, no, no!" Aunt Zhu waved her hand again and again, and then pushed Ling'er to the front: "This girl has no relatives and wants to find an errand to do, what do you think, sister-in-law Zhang?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhang looked around Ling'er, raised her face to look left and right, and pulled her hand out to look at it, then walked to the front and asked, "What's your name?" Where? Do you have relatives at home? ”
Ling'er's well-behaved Fu Fu body: "The slave's surname is Xiaobai, she was originally from Cangzhou, her parents are gone, she grew up with her grandparents since she was a child, and her grandparents also went not long ago, and I have nowhere to go alone, so I want to come out and find something to do." ”
Sister-in-law Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "To be a personal maid for Miss, you have to sign a deed of sale, and it is a death deed, and you can't redeem yourself for a lifetime, are you willing?" ”
Ling'er hesitated for a moment, thought about it, she was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, she had to go to see that Master Jiang, and besides, I signed a contract in Wen Xiaobai's name, as long as I could escape in the future, they would not be able to find me.
So Ling'er nodded: "Now I am the only one left in this world, instead of wandering outside, it is better to find a stable mansion, no need to be afraid, no wind and sun, and food, drink and shelter, Xiaobai will be content." ”
Sister-in-law Zhang smiled: "It's right that you can think so." In this house, as long as you serve the master well, you will have glory and wealth for you to enjoy in the future. ”
Aunt Zhu next to her and the two women who came with her all had strange faces. Several people glanced at each other, shook their heads secretly, and lowered their heads to pick up their clothes.
Sister-in-law Zhang turned around and said to Aunt Zhu: "How many clothes have you taken yourself, go and report them later, remember to send them back on time!" ”
A few people responded, and Sister-in-law Zhang said to Ling'er: "Let's go, I'll take you to see Mrs." ”
Sister-in-law Zhang took Ling'er through a door in the courtyard. Walk around a small garden and down the verandah, and you can already see the hall in front of you. Sister-in-law Zhang stopped and said in a low voice:
"Later, I will see the master and be smart, our young lady likes others to praise her the most, you follow her and make sure she is happy. She was happy, and our wife was happy. There will be your benefits when the time comes. ”
Ling'er Fufu: "Yes, thank you Sister-in-law Zhang for mentioning it." ”
Sister-in-law Zhang nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this girl was much smarter than the previous ones, and she would definitely be able to ask for some rewards this time.
The two came to the door of the living room, sister-in-law Zhang asked Ling'er to wait at the door, she stepped forward to whisper a few words to the mother-in-law at the door, and by the way, she stuffed the broken silver that Mrs. Zhu stuffed to her to the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law accepted it quietly. Bow your head and go into the house.
After a while, the mother-in-law came out and said, "Madame told you to go in." ”
Sister-in-law Zhang thanked her again and again. Hurriedly came back and pulled Ling'er, dressed at the door, and then stepped over the threshold. Ling'er peeked at it, and saw a woman with heavy makeup and jewels sitting above the living room, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl on the lower right looked very similar to the woman above.
Sister-in-law Zhang walked to the hall and knelt down, almost prostrate on the ground: "The slave maid meets the county master's wife, and the county lady's wife." ”
Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth and wanted to laugh, feeling that someone was looking at her, she hurriedly did the same, knelt down and lay on the ground: "Slave Wen Xiaobai visits the county master's wife, and the county lady's lady." ”
Uh, this title is so funny, are the mothers and girls afraid that others won't know that they are the family members of the county lord?
The woman above said lightly: "Zhang Qiang's family, you don't take care of your laundry room, what are you doing here?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly said: "Madam, the slave and maid don't dare to slack off about the laundry room, the slave and maid's acquaintance brought a maid and wanted to sell herself into the house, and the slave and maid saw that she was smart, so she specially brought it to Mrs. and Miss to take a look." ”
"Oh? Has this girl's origin been found out? Are her parents willing to sign a deed of sale? ”
"I found out, this girl is an orphan girl, her only relative disappeared a few months ago, she is willing to sell herself, just to find a safe place to stay."
Sister-in-law Zhang lay on the ground and didn't forget to give Ling'er a look, Ling'er hurriedly said: "Yes, madam, miss, the slave maid voluntarily sells herself, just to have a tile to cover her head and eat a full meal." ”
Madame Jiang stared at the top of Ling'er's head: "Raise your head." ”
Ling'er raised her head slowly, glanced at Madam Jiang and quickly lowered her gaze. Seeing Ling'er's delicate face, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help frowning slightly, she looked at her daughter: "Yan'er, what do you think?" ”
Yeon'er! Ling'er was shocked, isn't that the name of her own biological mother? Her eyelids were slightly raised, and she endured it again, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes were motionless.
Jiang Yan'er saw that Ling'er was beautiful and white-skinned, and her face was obviously not covered with makeup, but it was as clean as white jade, she was jealous, thinking about how thick the powder she had to apply every day, but she couldn't cover these spots on her face, she was really annoying, if she ...... How nice it would be to change this girl's face to your own face? Hey, find a doctor to try, maybe it will work!
Jiang Yan'er was happy, "Mother, this girl is good, I want her!" ”
Mrs. Jiang was a little surprised, she knew that her daughter had never been very satisfied with her own appearance, this girl was better than her daughter, how could her daughter be willing? Why did she suddenly change sex today?
"Yan'er, don't you like beautiful maids?"
"Where? Mother, I think this girl is very good, it's comfortable to look at beautifully, mother, just her! ”
Ling'er said: "Mrs. has won the award, the slave maid can't afford it, Miss Yan'er has a noble status, a rich and prosperous face, and a very good figure, and the slave maid is beyond her reach." ”
Jiang Yan'er couldn't help but touch her face proudly: "Hey, how do you know that I have such a prosperous face?" I'm not married yet! ”
Mrs. Jiang said angrily: "Girls, don't talk about marrying or not marrying." ”
Ling'er hurriedly said: "Miss, your face is like a full moon on a silver plate, you will be happy and rich at a glance, and Miss is plump, my grandmother said that such a figure is the best at giving birth and raising, and you will be able to have children and grandchildren in the future, naturally it is a Wang family and a prosperous husband!" ”
"Hey~~~~ You can really talk, I like it more and more, what's your name?"
"The slave's surname is Wen, and her name is Xiaobai."
"Xiaobai, hehe, mother, isn't the parrot raised by my father also called Xiaobai?"
Mrs. Jiang smiled, looked at Ling'er again, and thought to herself that this girl is quite clever, but sometimes she speaks out of proportion, it may be normal for a country girl to be rude, and it will be good to teach and teach in the future, since Yan'er likes it, let her be.
"This girl is good, Zhang Qiang's family, you did a good job this time, you have a reward!"
The mother-in-law beside Mrs. Jiang unwillingly took out two taels of silver and put it on her hand, and said in a low voice: "Give you a trick." Sister-in-law Zhang took it with a smile and kowtowed to Mrs. Jiang and Miss Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang said again: "Zhang Qiang's family, you take this girl to sign the deed of sale, and then send it to Mama Li for training and training." (To be continued......)
