Eight: Maid

The four children, although they were not killed on the spot, went to two that night. The two who are alive are very good-looking children. It is estimated that the wrench is not heavy when the mother-in-law asks people to do it. Wen Wan understood it this way because her mother-in-law took the medicine for the injury that night and let her boil the medicine.

It is estimated that Mrs. Song was reluctant to give up these two people. With this appearance, it can be sold for a good price. This time, it is also a lesson for them. But the prettiest girl among them, when she was recuperating from her wounds, he scolded whoever entered her house, and smashed whatever he copied. No one dared to serve her.

Wen Wan has always played a good boy who is well-behaved, soft and obedient here, and has done everything she is told to do very well. Not only do you finish what you are told to do, but you also help with other things when you have time to spare. Granny Song was very satisfied with Wen Wan's obedient attitude, if everyone was the same as Wen Wan, she wouldn't be so careful, so she was also kind to Wen Wan. Always educate others with gentleness. Granny Song called Wen Wan out to take care of the girl.

"Hmph, no matter how good, no matter how obedient, no matter how well-behaved, he is still a dumb person." The beautiful woman disdained gentleness. Seeing Wen Wan come in, she lost her temper in the yard.

But Wen Wan regarded herself as a deaf and blind person. She scolded her, gentle and self-conscious. The girl lost her temper in the end, so she had to look at Wen Wan hatefully, threatening that when she got better, she would definitely give Wen Wan a good look.

Seeing that Wen Wan still didn't speak, she picked up a cup at the head of the bed and threw it at Wen Wan. smashed gently, and his forehead was bruised and swollen. Aunt Song knew, she just comforted her a few words, took a plaster and applied it to her, but she didn't say that she wouldn't let her serve.

Wen Wan suffered such an unwarranted disaster and looked at the sun outside. Wen Wan actually wanted to cry, but she knew that she didn't have the right to cry. You have to live well and live strongly. For the sake of Mom and Dad, for Mama Huang, I must live well. No matter how hard it is, you have to live.

During her recuperation, Wen Wan took care of her very carefully. The girl didn't have a good face, and she either scolded or sneered at her, but Wen Wan accepted it silently. After a few days, the girl was a little bored in the room alone, so she asked Wen Wan to talk to her, but unfortunately Wen Wan was a mute and didn't want to talk to her. Girls talk to themselves.

The woman's name is Qiu Tong, and she was sold by her stepmother. The stepmother gave birth to a younger brother and told her father that the family had no spare money to support others, so it was better to sell it. With the money, buy two more acres of land. When his father heard this, he thought it was reasonable, so he asked her stepmother to drag someone to sell her. sold ten taels of silver, and his stepmother smiled so much that she couldn't stop talking, ten taels of silver, in her hometown, she could buy two acres of good paddy fields.

As she spoke, the woman began to cry. If her mother was still alive, she wouldn't be sold, and she would be sold to others as a maid. I heard that some of those masters are very perverted, they beat people at every turn, they don't move to give people a wrench, and they don't give them food.

Wen Wan listened to it, and then was shocked. Remember, it seems that in ancient times women had no status. He has no rights to obey his father at home, to marry his husband, or to obey his son in death. It seems that he wants to wrap his little feet. Wen Wan knew that her future was dark.

And just like that, a few more days passed. Qiu Tong's injury is healed. Mama is still waiting for a good price, so she is so good to Qiu Tong. As soon as Qiu Tong's injury was healed, he went to find a buyer. I came back two days later and said that I had found a buyer. The buyer's family is rich and good to people. In the past, Qiu Tong ate fragrant and spicy food, and there were maids to serve. In other words, the past is blissful.

Granny Song said that she would send them to the place to eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and there were people to serve, and the children next to her were very envious. Wen Wan knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and although Granny Song said that she is not a big villain, she is definitely not a good person. Not to mention where such good things come out in the world, just if Qiu Tong escaped, Mrs. Song would not be spared so easily.

Wen Wan looked at Qiu Tong's current appearance, and guessed that she must be a beauty when she grows up, she must be sent to that kind of place, and she must be a place where she can't see the light.

Wen Wan thought that her grandmother was a concubine, her mother was a princess, and her father was a famous beautiful man in Kyoto. To say that the gentle appearance is definitely not much worse. But fortunately, the Bodhisattva blessed that he did not inherit his father's appearance, so he could not be considered beautiful, but only beautiful. Otherwise, you'll be out of luck. Here, there is nothing alluring, but it is still lucky.

Mrs. Song's words were not enough, and someone came, and an old mother came. That look is sharp enough to scare people to death. Wen Wan looked at the grandmother, this was not the old woman she had seen for the first time. It seems that it is really the same as she thought before.

"I want her to come with me." Qiu Tong said to the visitor, and the old woman was a little hesitant. But Qiu Tong looked very resolute. The man asked Wen Wan to speak, and Wen Wan shook her head.

"Two taels of silver." glanced at Wen Wan and knew that she couldn't speak, so she immediately said that she was worth silver.

Granny Song was a little reluctant. Qiu Tong's worth of silver was sold for fifty taels of silver. If she goes on like this, she asks for two taels of silver and asks for Wen Wan, and it is not easy for her to refute it. According to the normal situation, although Wen Wan can't speak, she is soft and well-behaved, and she sells it to a big family as a maid, at least she can sell it for a ** two silver worth silver. It's only two taels of silver, and she's really losing a lot.

Wen Wan shook her head, hugging Aunt Song's legs, pitiful and reluctant. When Aunt Song saw the strong, she immediately said that she had a relationship with this child. She is also reluctant to herself, and plans to keep it by her side first.

That person originally looked gentle, but he didn't want it very much, and his appearance could only be regarded as delicate, and he was dumb or deaf. If you buy it back, you have to take care of it, and you won't have much success in the future, so it's definitely going to lose money. Just now, I just didn't want to refute Qiu Tong's face, so I asked. Now like this, she was relieved.

"If you don't know how to lift, it's a life to suffer as a maid." Qiu Tong originally watched Wen Wan take good care of her during this time, and wanted to take her to enjoy happiness together, but she didn't expect that Wen Wan would not give her face. Got into the carriage and left.

The next day, Mrs. Song took Wen Wan and them into the carriage. I heard it in the carriage, as if it was saying that someone in the capital wanted a maid. Wen Wan thought about the capital in her heart, and was a little excited. Isn't that where she's going?

Took a day in a carriage. That night, they were settled in a small compound. After that, every day Mrs. Song led a large group of people to go. If you go to the patron's house of each of the maids, you will not come back if you are picked. I didn't get picked and went back to this small yard. Ding Hei was picked out in the second round.

At first, people looked at Wen Wan and were more satisfied. But when he heard that he was dumb, he was not happy.

"No, where can I buy a dumb man, I can't ask for it." People who have seen it are all like this. After staying with the traffickers for almost half a month, the mother of the owner of the picker took a fancy to the supple gentleness. Hearing that it was a mute, he frowned, shook his head and said no, and picked another one. In this way, Wen Wan was picked and discarded.

Wen Wan was so sad and indignant, cough, I couldn't say a word!

On this day, he said that he was going to some Hou's mansion. Originally, Aunt Song didn't want to take Wen Wan there, but looking at Wen Wan's supple appearance, she sighed and called her up.

In the past half a month, I have been picked around like an animal, and my gentle heart is bleeding. Really, I didn't do anything bad in my last life! How did I get to such a point!

On this day, as usual, as soon as he heard that Wen Wan was mute, he shook his head and said no.

"I heard that you are going to recruit maids, learn embroidery, and train embroiderers, although this child can't speak, but he is still very clever. is also well-behaved and obedient, let do what to do, and do it very well. Mom, being a rusty lady won't be able to speak and won't get in the way. If you take a closer look, this child is a good material for being a rusty girl, and you will definitely not suffer if you buy it. Mrs. Song said busily.

When the mother who picked someone heard Mrs. Song say this, she hesitated. Another person said a few words in front of this mother, and the mother who picked someone came over and looked at Wen Wan. Picking up the gentle hand, it was fair and delicate, but it was taken aback.

"What's your name?" Wen Wan shook her head.

"What did your parents do?" Wen Wan still shook her head, anyway, what to ask, Wen Wan shook her head. There was hesitation in the mother's eyes.

"This child is also a hard worker, when he first came to my place, his face was yellow and thin, and he ate two large bowls of rice on the first day, saying that he was hungry for two days and two nights without food. It was also with me that I recuperated for more than three months before I was so white, tender and cute. But although she doesn't remember who her parents are, she is really obedient. Mom, I promise you will never regret buying it. Aunt Song was beside her, explaining the reason for Wen Wan's good hands and white tenderness.

In fact, Wen Wan only stayed with her for more than a month. Where there are more than three months. When the mother heard this, she was relieved.

"Looking at these hands, it is a good seedling to be an embroiderer. Aunt Wang, take it down. The mother thought about it, looked at Wen Wan and nodded her head when she saw that Wen Wan had been calm from beginning to end. To be an embroiderer, the first condition is to have a good mentality, and it is impossible for an impetuous person to embroider good embroidery.

Wen Wan was taken to the courtyard next door by an aunt wearing a blue coarse cloth dress, a pair of blue cloth round cloth shoes on her feet, and white cloth socks on her feet.

There are already people there who were picked before. Looking at that group of people, Wen Wan thought that this was qualified. Who knows, after everyone gathered, they were let into a room, and Wen Wan saw a fifty or sixty-year-old lady through the crack in the door.

"Mama said, this one smells like a fox, so you can't ask for it." And with a word, he led the man out.

Each of the girls who went in came out with a red face. When it was Wen Wan's turn to go in, the man asked Wen Wan a few words, and Wen Wan shook her head and pointed to her throat.

"Why did you buy a dumb man to come in, did you say what you did when you came in?" The mother-in-law asked majestically.

Wen Wan was not afraid, but smiled and made the action of threading the needle.

"Oh, I'm going to recruit you to be an embroiderer. Then you don't need to check, you can get out. When Wen Wan came out, she heard the mother-in-law crying and undressing. Wen Wan shuddered. I have only heard of the ancient draft girls to take off their clothes, but I have never heard of buying a maid to take off their clothes. Where did she go?
