Chapter 65: The Jade Pot
"Miss, Miss, I really can't go any further!"
Qu Miaoling suddenly increased her speed, and without checking for a while, she was thrown out for a distance.
"There's a slave market!"
Qu Miaoling walked in front and hooked her lips slightly, what she wanted was the slave market.
Suddenly, she stopped, Qu Miaoling looked up, and saw the four big characters "Slave Bazaar".
She stepped in, and when she left the house today, under the gentle emphasis, Qu Miaoling put on a scarf.
But she is dressed in silk and the purse hanging around her waist is also bulging, and she looks like a girl from a rich family.
The group of traffickers immediately stared at her and shouted: "Good slaves, young and strong, you will never suffer a loss if you buy them back!" ”
Qu Miaoling tried to rummage through her memories to confirm the location of the jade pot, but a big man suddenly appeared in front of her, "Miss, I have a high-class male slave in my family, and I will definitely not suffer a loss if I buy it back!" ”
The big man smiled lewdly.
"Go away, go away!"
The gentle calf protector pushed the big man away, protected Qu Miaoling behind him, and asked carefully, "Miss, are you okay?" Did he do anything to you! ”
Qu Miaoling smiled, "No, little housekeeper!" With that, he continued to walk inside.
She thought to herself, where is the jade pot?
After going around the slave market for a long time, Qu Miaoling still didn't find anyone.
Could it be that she remembered by mistake and wasn't here?
"Miss, are you going to buy slaves? There are so many credible people in our Zhuangzi, why should we-" Qu Miaoling glanced at it and lost her voice softly.
"How do you know that the people in Zhuangzi are credible, and how do you know that they are not spies sent by others!"
Qu Miaoling's two sentences were too sharp, and she had nothing to say softly, so she could only follow behind her master honestly.
After going around the market again, Qu Miaoling's eyebrows slowly wrinkled, is it true that the jade pot is no longer here?
Just when Qu Miaoling was about to give up, a thin man and a dirty girl walked in not far away.
The man scolded, "Still want to run? Can you run? Your mother sold you to me! ”
As he spoke, the girl was thrown out, and with a suppressed shout, the thin man pulled out the whip from somewhere, and slammed it at the girl.
While beating, he scolded at the same time, "I'll let you run, I'll let you run, I'll break your legs!" ”
The girl was lying on the ground, Qu Miaoling couldn't see her face, but a voice in her heart urged her to pass.
The girl's body was covered with blood, and the skin under the coarse cloth shirt was also bruised, and she panicked when she looked at it.
I can't bear to look at it, if she hadn't been saved by Miss at the beginning, it is estimated that she would not be much better than her.
"Miss, let's help her!"
After being whipped for a long time, this girl gritted her teeth, and she didn't make a sound.
"Wait!" The whip in his hand, seeing Qu Miaoling, his hideous expression changed suddenly, and the man came over flatteringly, "What do you have to say, Miss wants to buy slaves, we have everything, ...... you"
"I want her!"
Qu Miaoling's voice was cold, and her finger pointed at the girl on the ground.
The man looked over and immediately said with a bitter face: "Miss, this slave hasn't been trained yet, otherwise you can look at something else?" ”
The girl was thin and small, with few taels of flesh all over her body, and at first glance she was not able to work, and she could not sell her for a good price, so the man had the idea of selling her into the kiln.
But this girl ran honestly, making him so angry that he wanted to kill her.
The girl heard that someone wanted to buy her, her limp body seemed to be injected into the soul, she raised her head slightly, and the eyes of the two of them met, one was calm and waveless, and the other had trembling pupils.
She's the jade pot!
Although the jade pot at this time was very thin and dirty, she would never admit that she was looking for those eyes, she was what she was looking for!
"Miss, will you think about it again?"
"I told you, I want her!"
The man choked in this cold tone, "Okay, okay, you can give me 10 taels of silver for this girl, and I can take it away immediately." ”
"10 taels of silver?" The soft voice was raised, "I can buy several slaves!" ”
But the man just ate Qu Miaoling and would definitely buy it, and he didn't loosen his mouth at all.
"One price, just 10 taels!" The man stretched out ten fingers and said, 'If the price is not right, Mademoiselle, I will sell her to the kiln, and I will always get ten taels.' ’
"Gently, give it to him."
"Miss!"
"Give it to him!"
The man immediately laughed, "Miss, I'll tie up the slave for you right away, she has a fierce temperament and likes to run away, don't hurt you." ”
"No, you don't." Qu Miaoling walked up to the jade pot and stretched out his hand in the man's shocked gaze, "Would you like to come with me?" ”
The jade pot didn't move for a long time, and a pair of eyes that had lost their light stared directly at Qu Miaoling.
"If you don't want to, I'll let you go."
There was silence again.
"You stinky girl, the nobleman asked you something, don't you hurry up and reply!" The man was about to whip him as he spoke.
was stopped by Qu Miaoling, "You decide for yourself." ”
As she spoke, Qu Miaoling turned around and walked forward gently, and the jade pot was also untied, she stared at the two people in front of her, and after a while, she followed without hesitation.
"Miss, she's with you."
Qu Miaoling hooked her lips slightly, and she knew it.
The two of them went straight back to the house, and in front of the Hou Mansion, the jade pot looked up at the plaque and whispered, "Wude Hou Mansion."
The family saw a stinky Hanako dangling at the door, and immediately picked up someone.
Gently and duly appeared, "This is our young lady's person." ”
The family didn't dare to stop it, staring at the beads of the eyes and gently taking the person away.
"Madam, Qu Miaoling went out and bought a dirty slave and came back." Taolei came back and reported.
"Oh?"
Wen Shi was also surprised in his heart, "You continue to stare and see what kind of medicine is sold in that Qu Miaoling gourd!" ”
Here, the jade pot followed gently into Wanzhen Temple.
Qingrou first took the jade pot to wash, and then changed the clothes she could wear, and then took her to Qu Miaoling's room.
"Miss." He bowed and stood softly behind Qu Miaoling.
There was silence again.
In the end, it was Yuhu who said first, her voice was extremely hoarse, "Miss, the slave is willing to do things for you." ”
Qu Miaoling nodded, "Okay, but I only accept loyal people here." ”
"Go to the soup and go to the fire, and you will not hesitate."
"Have you read a book?"
"I read a little bit when I was young."
Qu Miaoling was confirming the identity of the jade pot, and the jade pot was also rescued by her back then, and later she learned that the jade pot was the daughter of Imperial Physician Li of the dynasty, and she was lost at the lantern party when she was a child, and she had been looking for her parents according to her childhood memories, but she found nothing.
It wasn't until later, for Qu Miaoling, that she was killed by Wen Qingqian, and Qu Miaoling still remembered that the jade pot was open when she died, as if she had an unfulfilled wish.
Qu Miaoling was grief-stricken, and continued to investigate, only then did he learn the true identity of the jade pot, but it was too late.
"Gently, let her be a second-class maid in the yard."
Gently stunned, "Miss, this is not in accordance with the rules." "How can anyone enter the house and cross the rough girl and the third-class girl, and directly promote it to the second-class.
The maids in the yard will probably be dissatisfied.
"That's it."
Qu Miaoling's sudden domineering surprised Qingrou again.
"Yes, miss." In the end, Gentle agreed.
"What's your name?" Qu Miaoling asked.
"My name is - slave maid has no name."
Actually, she does, her name is Li Qinyu.
The jade pot's eyes flashed, and he didn't tell the truth.
Qu Miaoling naturally knew that the jade pot was lying to her, but she didn't care, she was sure that the jade pot would definitely confess to her in the future.
"That's it, you will be called the jade pot in the future, taken from the meaning of 'a piece of ice heart in the jade pot', how about it?"
The jade pot knelt down, "Thank you for the name." ”
In this way, the jade pot got a new name, and lived in Wanzhen Courtyard, where only the first-class maid was qualified to live in a room alone, and as for the second-class girl, it was a room for four people.
Gently walked into the wing room with the jade pot, and the three girls inside immediately stood up, knelt down and shouted softly "Sister Gentle", and then stood honestly.
"This is a jade pot, just like you in the future, she will be a second-class maid, you have to take good care of her, understand?"
"Understood."
Gently walking, the three of them looked unkindly.
"You're the little beggar you brought back by the young lady?" The purple cloth was not good.
"I'm not a beggar."
"Yo, you're dressed in tatters, or you bought it from traffickers, you say you're not a beggar? Don't you be unclean! Qingque immediately sarcastically said, still looking at the jade pot, that look in his eyes was like looking at garbage.
Enduring the inhuman gaze, the jade pot clenched its fists.
She tried her best to persuade herself to enter the house, to keep to herself, to repay her benefactor well, she couldn't make trouble.
The jade pot staggered past the girls who stood in the way and walked straight towards his bed.
Before he had gone far, a foot suddenly stretched out, and it was the only orange pear in the room who didn't speak.
The jade pot stumbled and almost pounced.
The three girls burst out laughing.
The jade pot's fist tightened again.
Today is the first day of the jade pot to work, because she has just arrived, and she is a newcomer, and the work of serving Qu Miaoling close to her cannot reach her.
She was arranged to do rough work for a day, and it happened that Qu Miaoling went to the shop outside to check the accounts, so she didn't know that the jade pot was being troubled.
That night, when the jade pot returned to the room, she pounded her sore shoulders and lay down on the bed, the wetness coming from under her body made her roll over.
When I looked down, the mattress and quilt were all soaked.
She had just entered the house, and the bedding for washing had not yet arrived.
Seeing her get up suddenly, the girls in the house laughed, "It's getting late, and no one in the warehouse can allocate new bedding for you!" ”
"What if there is a master to protect her, there is always a place where she can't protect it!"
"I don't know what means this jade pot used to get into the eyes of the young lady, hum~"
The voices of the girls were very loud, and the jade pot could be heard clearly.
"Enough of you!"
I have been under the hands of the trafficker for a long time, and I have heard that the jade pot is very vicious, and it doesn't look like a teenage girl at all.
