As he spoke, the door of Zuichun Building suddenly opened, and An Su turned his head to look out, but the old bustard led a few girls who had already been dressed, as if they were going somewhere.

"On weekdays, if a guest has a girl and son and asks them to go to the house to serve, they will make an appointment, and Wen Niang is responsible for delivering the person on time." Deng Tong seemed to see An Su's question, and explained.

"It seems that Deng Gongzi's drunken spring building is indeed very popular, but where are those girls going?"

"I don't know about this slave, now most of the things in the drunken spring building are taken care of by Wen Niang, and the slave occasionally asks a few words." Deng Tong's gaze drifted to the backs of those girls, and said, "But the price of sending people to the mansion is not something that ordinary people can afford, it is nothing more than some princes and nobles." ”

An Su nodded in agreement, and didn't dwell too much on the matter. She confessed a few more words to Chao Cuo, thanked Deng Daodao again, and then went back to the princess's mansion. Although she came out early today, she was delayed outside for too long, and if it dragged on any longer, Liu Le might have to look for her everywhere.

An Su's place in the princess's mansion was closer to the back door, and at this time, he also entered through the back door. Before he reached the door, he was thinking about how to open the door, but he saw that the door was wide open, as if someone had just entered. Ansu approached the cat, and sure enough, he saw someone talking not far from inside, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

"The old body has sent people, and I have to bother you to say a few kind words in front of King Zhao, and the old girls will come to pick it up tomorrow." An Su could hear that this was the voice of the old bustard in Zuichun Building. It seems that the girls who went out just now were actually set by the concubine Zhang Ao.

This Zhang Ao is quite bold, the princess just made a fuss in the drunken spring building yesterday, and he dared to bring people to the mansion today, and he was really determined to go against the princess. It's just that this matter doesn't have much to do with Ansu, and the princess doesn't like this colt, so it's better to let him go, so as not to burn herself.

Thinking like this, Ansu waited at the back door for a while, until the bustard left and the girls entered the house, and then she slowly returned to her residence. Liu Le hadn't come to her yet, so he inquired with the maids in the house, saying that the princess had a big quarrel with the concubine yesterday, and she was still asleep. Fortunately, Ansu also plans to take the opportunity to rest for a while.

"What use do you say! I can't sweep the floor! Look at those fallen leaves, have you swept them clean? Ansu was about to turn around and go back to her room when a rebuke came into her ears. These scolding words seemed familiar, just like when she was scolded by Hu Yu Mama in Changle Palace, An Su couldn't help but look for the source of the voice.

I saw a middle-aged woman holding a broom, hitting the little girl in front of her one by one. This woman looks about the same age as Hu Yu, and if you look closely, she looks a little similar, and the picture of beating people with a broom is very similar to Gao Yi in Changle Palace.

"What are you crying about, you still have the face to cry? The princess bought you to work, not to make you cry here! Sure enough, the cheap maidservants are all lazy waste! The woman seemed to be tired, so she sat down cleanly, and let the little girl kneel before her.

The little girl was also pitiful, her clothes were so tattered that they could barely cover her arms. The exposed skin is full of all kinds of scars, and at a glance, you can see that there are many beatings on weekdays. Her kneeling legs trembled, as if they might fall to the ground at any moment. An Su couldn't bear to look at it, the girl was still young, and it was really sad to suffer such a crime.

"What did this little girl do wrong?" Ansu stepped forward and asked.

The woman raised her eyes to see An Su, although she didn't know what her identity was, but she also knew that the princess treated her politely, so naturally she didn't dare to shout anymore.

"Girl, this girl is so stupid, she can't sweep the floor cleanly, and the slave has no choice but to punish her."

"It's autumn now, and there are naturally more fallen leaves, and in such a big place, she can sweep it alone, and it's good to be able to sweep it like this." An Su raised her eyes and said, "Mama treats her subordinates so harshly, have you asked the princess what she means?" ”

"Girl, the princess handed over these girls to the slave maid to manage, of course the slave maid must be stricter, so that the princess can worry about it!"

"In that case, such a stupid girl can be sold to the house, so why should she be scolded like this?" An Su glanced at the little girl who was kneeling quietly, "If you sell her and buy another clever one, the princess's mansion should not lack this money, and those maidservants will also compete for it by relying on the reputation of the princess's mansion." ”

"What the girl said is that the slave maid thinks exactly that." The grandmother turned her head and glanced at the little girl again, "The slave will drive her out of the house." ”

"No, please, don't kick me out." The little girl was silent for a long time, but at this time she shouted.

"It's not about driving you out, it's about finding you a good place to go, a place where you can eat and not be beaten." Ansu crouched down to comfort her.

But the girl still shook her head like a rattle: "No, I can't go, I can't get out of here." ”

"You want to stay in the Princess's Mansion?" An Su felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this girl, and she didn't insist, so she asked.

She nodded, "Please, let me stay here!" I can work, I'm not afraid of being beaten. Please, don't drive me away, but let me stay a few more days. ”

This little girl seems to have a reason to stay in the princess's mansion, but letting her be bullied, Ansu really can't bear it.

"Mama, so be it! This little girl will be my handmaid from now on, and you will be considered to have sold her, and I will pay you how much money you need. ”

The grandmother smiled when she heard this, the princess and the concubine have always cared about the people in the house, and it doesn't matter if there is more or less. A few of their mothers in charge occasionally have a tight hand, and they will pick some inconspicuous subordinates to sell them secretly, and then put the money into their own pockets. This little girl was also going to be sold, but she was too thin, and no one bought it at a reduced price, and now she finally found a buyer, so she couldn't let it go, but for the sake of safety, she still had to give it a try.

"Girl, you're the princess's guest, isn't it appropriate for you to buy it?"

"The princess doesn't notice who is serving in the house on weekdays, you sell her to me, and I call it an orphan girl who was picked up outside, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who can know?" An Su is kind and seductive.

The grandmother was really moved, and after taking the money, she happily released her. An Su took the little girl's hand and walked to the residence, feeling a little embarrassed, her money was originally given by the princess, and now she uses her money to buy the girl in her house, which is really funny.

"Snacks on the table, if you're hungry, eat some!" As soon as Ansu walked into the room with the little girl, she stared straight at the pastries on the table, as if she was hungry. But she just stared with blazing eyes, and didn't reach for it, didn't even sit down, and just stood by the door.

"What's wrong? Don't like these? Ansu pulled her to the table and tried to sit her down, but she squirmed and got out of the way.

The little girl finally shook her head: "Mama said that only the master can sit, and we can't eat casually, otherwise we will be kicked out of the house." ”

"It's okay, you can sit and eat snacks with me, and no one will kick you out." Ansu smiled and pressed her to the chair, but the little girl squirmed and pinched, as if there were nails on the chair, and she was restless.

After An Su's eyes signaled several times, she had the courage to take a piece, but she only put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, and she didn't eat it. An Su thought that this child was bullied by her grandmother so badly, she had to take her time, so she didn't urge her, and found something to talk to her casually.

"What's your name? How long have you been in the Princess's Mansion? ”

The little girl made a gesture to stand up and reply, but was pressed down by An Su again: "Don't be restrained, just sit and talk." ”

"My name is Wei Chiying, and I was bought back to the princess's mansion half a year ago." The little girl said as she stared at the snack in her hand.

"Your surname is Wei Chi?" Ansu thought, this surname is not common.

Yu Chiying nodded: "Mammies all call me Ying'er." ”

"I just saw that you have to stay in the princess's mansion no matter what, why is that?" An Su couldn't help but laugh when she saw that she finally fed the snack into her mouth and took a bite.

"I must stay here, at least for this month." Wei Chiying was a little anxious, for fear that An Su would sell her again, "Please don't let me go." ”

"I'm not going to kick you out, but you have to tell me why you have to stay this month?"

"I'm waiting for my brother." When Wei Chiying mentioned her brother, a smile appeared on her face, "My brother's name is Wei Chi Decision, my father and mother died when we were very young, and my brother took me to drift here." He wanted to join the army and fight, so he sold me to the princess's mansion, and I received a message from my brother the other day, saying that he would be back this month. If I'm kicked out, he won't be able to find me when he returns. ”

An Su nodded, no wonder she would rather be beaten than be kicked out of the princess's mansion, for such a reason.

"Don't worry! During this time, you can stay with me and wait for your brother to come back with peace of mind. Ansu glanced outside and continued, "On weekdays, you can just clean up the house a little, you don't have to do any heavy work, and don't run out easily. ”

Yu Chiying nodded again and again: "As long as I can stay in the mansion and wait for my brother, I can do whatever I want." ”

I made a bed for Wei Chiying, and it was almost afternoon. An Su inquired about the maid in the house again, Liu Le still didn't get up at this time, saying that she had already had lunch, but she still yelled to sleep, and ordered no one to disturb. This is strange, even if you didn't have a good rest yesterday, at this time, it's time to get up anyway.

An Su thought about it, but he didn't feel at ease, so he went to Liu Le's room alone.
