There was a touch of shame and indignation on Song Yue's red little face, and the tight lip line reminded Shen Ruchu of the situation when she first saw her, she has always been a person with a very low sense of existence, she doesn't like to talk, she is diligent and cautious, and later she got along with Shen Ruchu day and night, and gradually became cheerful. Now her detached expression seemed to be back to what it used to be.

Shen Ruchu took her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought you to this place." I...... I don't know if you're in this place...... In short, I didn't think it through. ”

Song Yue snorted: "No, it doesn't matter, madam, the maid is fine." ”

Shen Ruchu was flattered that she could detect her depressed mood and apologize. It's not the first time she's been sold, and it's not the first time she's been a maid, but it's only a blessing for her to find a master like Shen Ruchu.

She is very smart, all she does now is to try to become Shen Ruchu's henchman, help Shen Ruchu do more things, and make Shen Ruchu inseparable from her - Shen Ruchu also felt this, so give her the opportunity to perform as much as possible.

"It's useless, it's not delicious to cook, and it's not good to use your hands and feet." Matsutsuki blamed herself deeply, she was sold very early, she was working in a big family before, and she had never been in the kitchen, so she naturally couldn't cook.

The Wen family is in a different situation now, it is not a big family, it doesn't talk about so much pomp, what is needed is all-rounder, there are not many things, but it may be very complicated, and someone needs to be comprehensive.

Her most frustrated emotion did not come from Shen Ruchu bringing her to buy Ding, but the deep-seated reason behind this buyer, but she couldn't express this mood in appropriate words, and she didn't have the guts.

"You have your good, don't worry, as long as you are willing to stay, I will let you stay in the Wen family." Shen Ruchu comforted.

Songyue nodded.

Shen Ruchu didn't want to buy people from Yazi, I heard that Yazi was cruel and harsh to these people, and he looked well-behaved on the surface. Psychology is inevitably a little distorted; Another point is that many of the people in the hands of these people are slaves who are brought out of large families, and most of these people have low eyes, and they may not be able to buy them home.

"What are you selling yourself for?" Shen Ruchu walked to a young woman with straw stuck in her body and asked.

The woman's face was full of sadness, she glanced at Shen Ruchu, and said, "Madam, the little woman's husband died suddenly, although the family had some meager property, it was divided by the group of tiger and wolf brothers, and it has not been able to be buried so far, and the little woman sold herself." In order to make the deceased husband buried as soon as possible. ”

Shen Ruchu looked at her carefully, the widowhood of a young man is a great pain in life, although she is sad, she does not cry, it can be seen that she is a strong person; would rather sell himself than ask for those uncles, which shows that he has a hard temperament; Her speech is clear and her sentences are slow, which shows that she was a good tutor when she was a girl.

"How much money do you need?" Shen Ruchu said.

The little woman raised her eyes to look at Shen Ruchu. said: "Although the life of the deceased husband is poor and sour, he is quite exquisite; I don't want him to be too shabby when he dies, even if he can't be buried thickly, he has to be buried in new clothes. The thick coffin is put into the ground, so that he can repay him for treating me well before his death. The little woman sold herself for thirty taels of silver. ”

Thirty taels is not a small amount - generally speaking, it is only ten taels of silver at most to buy a slave. Let alone. This woman is a widow, which is a bad luck for a newlywed couple like Shen Ruchu.

Matsutsuki glared at the woman dissatisfied.

Shen Ruchu thought about it. said: "You can also see that I am not a rich man, but I can afford your worth of thirty taels, but I don't like to be wronged." If you are a widow and cannot enter a large household, they will not buy you into the house; The small family does not dislike you as a widow, but they cannot afford you. In this way, I remember that you are a sincere and bloody person, and I will not humiliate you, and I hope that your husband will be buried in the earth, and if you are willing, I will pay twenty taels. ”

The lady looked at Shen Ruchu in a daze for a moment.

Shen Ruchu left with a smile and dropped a sentence: "You think clearly, just wait for me here." ”

Song Yue ran a few steps to keep up with Shen Ruchu and said, "Madam, do you really want to buy her?" ”

Shen Ruchu smiled, didn't speak, walked up to a chubby man, and said, "I want to buy a girl who can cook." ”

The fat tooth woman grinned, revealing a mouth full of big yellow teeth, as if carrying a chicken, pulled out a thin girl, and said, "This, this is this, I know how to cook, and I used to work in Yao's mansion." ”

When Shen Ruchu heard this, he was stunned, in Yao's Mansion? What does Yao Guangzu do at home?

"What's your name?" Shen Ruchu asked.

Without waiting for the girl to answer, the fat woman slapped her and shouted: "Answer quickly, no one buys you today, be careful that the old lady goes back and lets you eat bamboo roast pork!" ”

The so-called bamboo board roast meat is to beat people with bamboo boards.

The little girl looked petite and exquisite, her eyes were timid, her face was a little hurt, and she said, "Slave Lan'er." ”

Shen Ruchu said: "Do you know how to cook?" ”

Lan'er said: "Yes, madam, the slave maid learned to cook with her father since she was a child, and the slave's father is a cook. ”

Shen Ruchu asked the fat tooth woman and said, "How much?" ”

The fat tooth woman grinned with yellow teeth again, and said with a smile: "Not much, not much, fifteen taels, don't look at this girl's thin and weak, she has a lot of strength, just call it!" Not to mention cooking, the heavy work at home is also done. The girl is easy to find, but the person who can cook is not easy to find, if you like it, madam, take it away. ”

Shen Ruchu smiled and said, "I don't like bargaining, so let's do it, a price, ten taels, if you agree, I will take her away." ”

The fat tooth woman patted her thigh, looked pained, and said, "Ouch, madam, aren't you making it difficult for the old man, how can there be such a cheap cook!" She'll cook a hundred dishes, ma'am, and add some more. ”

Shen Ruchu turned around and left, she didn't like to bargain, if she wasn't afraid of being wronged, she wouldn't be too lazy to bargain - ten taels of silver, whether she likes to sell or not.

When the fat tooth woman saw that Shen Ruchu was leaving, she hurriedly twisted her fat body and squeezed over, and said, "Madame, don't go!" Little lady, don't go! The old man made a loss-making transaction, and the silver was brought and you took it away. ”

Shen Ruchu gave Song Yue a look, and Song Yue sent a piece of silver over, took Ya Po's deed of sale and slavery, led the thin girl over, and said, "Come with us." ”

Lan'er still looked timid, Shen Ruchu glanced at her, although it was the weather in early May, but the thin little body with the thin clothes looked particularly thin. It still seems to be cold.

"From now on, you will call it licorice." Shen Ruchu said, she casually took a name from Chinese medicine.

Licorice hurriedly said: "Mrs. Xie Xie gave her name." ”

The three of them walked outside, Shen Ruchu had no intention of continuing to buy people, and although Song Yue felt strange, she didn't say much.

"Madame, I would like to go with you, please take the little woman." The young woman came over and bowed down to Shen Ruchu.

Shen Ruchu gave Song Yue a look, and Song Yue understood, took out two ingots of silver and put them in the woman's hand.

"Thank you, ma'am. I also ask my wife to give me a two-day grace. Let the servant bury the deceased husband, and go to the house to serve the wife. The maid's name is Ruan Qinghua, who used to live in Qingniu Alley in Xishi, but now her husband's house is occupied, and the maid has nowhere to go. Soft blue and white said respectfully.

Shen Ruchu nodded and said, "In the future, you will be called Mai Dong." ”

Mai Dong, "slightly sweet and bitter, cold", this is probably a portrayal of soft blue and white.

"Thank you, Madame, for your name." Mai Dongfu saluted.

Song Yue took a document that Shen Ruchu had written in advance. "Do you know the words?" ”

Mai Dong took it and looked at it, and said, "The maid can recognize the words." The servant will sign now. She took the brush handed by Matsuki and wrote her name and drew on it.

"This is the maid's household registration, please accept it." Mai Dong Road. Since she wants to sell herself into slavery, this household registration will not be used, and she will only have a slave registration in the future.

Shen Ruchu nodded and said, "Songyue." ”

Matsutsuki was nervous. He said, "Madam, do you want to give your maid a name too?" ”

Shen Ruchu sneered and said, "Your name has been filed with the government." I shouted and liked it, so why bother looking for that trouble. I called you to let you lead the two of them to the government to register and make a register. ”

The most important thing is to register and establish their new master family in exchange for a new slave status, and the government takes the opportunity to collect a fee. This is a necessary procedure for buying and selling slaves, and it is also the greatest guarantee for the master's family.

Song Yue smiled: "I scared the servant, don't worry, the servant will do this later." ”

"Yo, isn't this the third sister? It's a coincidence, it's so fateful, you can meet you wherever you go. Someone said in a slick tone behind his back.

As soon as Shen Ruchu turned around, he saw Yao Guangzu Jiao'er Lang coming over, taking two obscene/trivial little servants as usual.

Shen Ruchu pretended not to see it, this kind of scoundrel, it was torture to say a word to him, but Yao Guangzu didn't know the fun, and when he saw Shen Ruchu turning around to leave, he hurriedly caught up, blocked Shen Ruchu's way, and said, "Sister is so anxious to go back?" Didn't we meet, why don't we have lunch together, I know a restaurant, it's Kyoto cuisine, and the taste is very authentic. ”

Shen Ruchu caught his eyes and saw the two little girls behind him pulling a girl, who was not very old, but she was handsome, and immediately understood what was going on, and Licorice hid tightly behind Song Yue and didn't dare to come out.

"If my sister knows that you will go down to the restaurant with me, I'm afraid I will be unhappy." Shen Ruchu said lightly.

As soon as Yao Guangzu saw that Shen Ruchu no longer looked at him coldly, he immediately burst into joy and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of!" Ye doesn't take her in his eyes at all, she is not interesting like wood, how can she compare with your sister. What does my sister want to eat? With that, he leaned forward.

Shen Ruchu shouted: "You are also a master, in front of so many people to pull and pull your sister-in-law, do you think it is like words?!" ”

She said so loudly that Yao Guangzu couldn't help but take a step back.

"Then catch up with Ming'er, let's find a place with fewer people?" Yao Guangzu said shamelessly.

Shen Ruchu said, you are a slut, you must be tortured to death!

"Even if you find a place with few people, you can't get past my sister, in a word: there is her without me." Shen Ruchu said, "Songyue, let's go." ”
