Chapter 39: Buying People (1)
A few days later, Ya Po came to the door.
Coincidentally, the old lady went to another house. Therefore, the Cao family asked Ya Po to lead people to their own house and take Ningxia Qing and Zi'er to pick them together.
Ya Po led a row of girls, with a smile on her face, and said to Cao's family: "As soon as I heard that Mrs. was going to pick a maid, I brought all the best girls I had there. ”
Ning Xia Qing stood on Cao's left-hand side, looking at the row of girls in front of him.
The eldest of the girls, a few seventeen or eighteen years old, wore their hair in a bun and dressed in plain clothes, their faces drooped solemnly, and they were silent and silent. Among them, there is one with white skin and good looks, and another with slightly dark skin, but with outstanding facial features and a delicate figure.
The youngest were six or seven years old, and because they were still too young, they were not as calm as the big ones, and they raised their eyes from time to time to look at them, and then lowered their heads in a panic. One of them had a round face and looked very festive, and the other was young, but he was born tall, but perhaps because of his poor family, he was very thin.
Ning Xia Qing looked at this row of girls, and felt a little emotion in her heart, such a scene had never been seen in her previous life.
In the previous life, the Cao family was about to pick a maid for Zi'er, and Ning Yongda had an accident. Later, Ning Xia Qing hurriedly married Tan Wenshi, and not long after, Ning Yongda died, and a few years later, Cao died. And Zi'er has been with the old lady until Zi'er got married, and the old lady picked a maid for Zi'er, and that year, Zi'er was fifteen years old.
Thinking of this, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but lose his mind. At this moment, Zi'er's crisp childlike voice came, shattering her memory.
Zi'er's voice was crisp, and she asked Cao Shi with a smile: "Mother, are these my maids?" ”
Cao Shi pinched Zi'er's face and said lovingly: "If you want to be beautiful, where is it?" It's for you to pick one here, serve you, and play with you. ”
Zi'er immediately smiled happily, clapped her hands and said, "Play with me!" I'm going to pick someone to play with me! ”
Ning Xia Qing couldn't help laughing, and Cao Shi also laughed. At this moment, Ning Xia Qing turned her head to look at those girls, and it just so happened that the girl with slightly dark skin and prominent facial features also raised her head, and the two glanced at each other.
The girl suddenly looked at Ning Ningqing, not panicking at all, just stunned for a moment, and then lowered her head gently. Ningxia Qingxin said, this girl is so calm and polite, but it is not the same as the one next to her.
Ning Xia Qing took a closer look, and saw that the girl's dress had been washed to the point that it was unrecognizable, and the shoulders were still patched, although they were shabby, they were very clean, and her hair was neatly combed.
Cao Shi also saw enough, and whispered a few words to Ya Po, who immediately called four people out. Two of the older ones were the one who was white and good-looking, and the one who was calm and polite, and the two younger ones were the one with a round face and the one who was slender and tall.
Zi'er asked innocently, "Mother, do you like them?" ”
Cao Shi smiled and said, "Well, mother, look, these are quite eye-catching." Which do you prefer? ”
Zi'er walked around in front of the maids a few times, looked at them curiously, and finally, Zi'er stopped beside the little girl with a round face, pursing her lips and looking at the people.
The little girl is about the same height as Zi'er, and she was born happily, standing with Zi'er, the two children are like two meat balls, which is really pleasing.
Zi'er asked a little nervously, "You...... What's your name? ”
"My name is Sanxi." The little girl's small eyes kept looking at Zi'er in front of her, and she said a little timidly.
Zi'er blinked her eyes, pretended to be calm, and asked, "That...... Sanxi, would you like to be a maid for me? ”
"Hmmm! Well! Sanxi looked straight at Zi'er and nodded desperately.
Zi'er was stunned, tilted her head and asked, "Why?" ”
Sanxi blushed and whispered, "Because, the girl is good-looking......"
"Huh?" Zi'er was also stunned for an instant, obviously she didn't expect Sanxi to praise herself so bluntly. Zi'er bit her fingers, thought about it, and then said, "I'm not good-looking, but my sister is good-looking." After speaking, he looked in the direction of Ningxia Qing.
Following Zi'er's gaze, Sanxi looked at Ning Xia Qing, opened his mouth wide in an instant, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help muttering, "Okay...... It's good-looking, Sanxi has never seen such a good-looking fairy......" Cao Shi and Ningxia Qing couldn't help but laugh.
Zi'er proudly held her little belly and said to Sanxi: "Everyone says so!" They all say that my sister is good-looking! ”
Sanxi glanced at Zi'er again, couldn't take his eyes off, and said in a thin voice: "However, I think that when the girl grows up, she must look better......"
As soon as Sanxi's words came out, Ya Po's face instantly became a little ugly, and she just wanted to count down Sanxi and not talk nonsense, but Ning Xia Qing shook her head at the Ya Po, with a gentle smile on her face, without the slightest displeasure, Ya Po saw this, so she smiled at Ning Xia Qing and didn't say anything.
Seeing Zi'er and Sanxi standing together, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but like it more and more. That Sanxi is a little silly, but it's a little silly, but it's a little cute, standing with Zi'er, they are all round, they are just two living treasures!
Seeing Zi'er and Sanxi falling in love like this, Ning Ningqing's heart was relieved and happy.
She is ten years older than Zi'er, and she has been like a mother since she was a child, so she really can't play with Zi'er. And the maids in the family are also old, and they can't play with Zi'er. Zi'er has been by the side of the elders in the family since she was a child, and it is inevitable that she will be lonely. After so many years, Ningxia Qing saw it in his eyes and hurt in his heart
As for the relatives who are close to her family, there is no one who is the same age as Zi'er. It's Gu Huailang of the Gu family, just in terms of age, it's rare to be able to play with Zi'er, if he is not the Gu family, and he can not bully Zi'er.
Seeing Zi'er and Sanxi falling in love, not only Ningxia Qing was happy, but Cao's was also smiling. Cao called Zi'er back to his side and asked Ya Po, "Which ones signed the death deed?" ”
Ningxia Qing knew that the Cao family was already moved, called Zi'er back, and ordered several girls to come out, which was to show that he did not recognize a certain one, so as not to take the opportunity to raise the price.
Seeing this, Ya Po was a little disappointed, but she also saw that the Cao family would definitely buy it, so she smiled a little and honestly introduced them one by one: "The few people called out by the wife are all signed death deeds." ”
"This Sanxi has just come out of the countryside. Her brother wanted to get married, and in order to make up the bride price, her father and mother had to sell her ruthlessly. Although he has never done the work of serving people, the children from the countryside can endure hardships one by one. ”
"And this one, not very old, only seven years old, born tall. When her parents were gone, her uncle sold her. This child has endured hardships, as long as you give her food, she will be obedient. ”
"This big one, white and clean, used to be a maid, and the previous owner's family was down, so he sold her. Since she has been a maid, she is naturally very good at serving people, if you buy her as a maid, it will be easy to use. ”
"As for this, the facial features are good-looking. I was in the weaving bureau in the county before, and I made a mistake, so I was sold. ”
Ning Xia Qing suddenly asked, "What did you do?" ”
"This ......" Ya Po was a little hesitant. If you do Ya Po's business, you can't hide it, the maid has committed something before, and Ya Po must report it truthfully to the master's family, but naturally she will find a way to say that things don't matter. However, at this moment, Ning Ningqing asked suddenly, and Ya Po hadn't thought of the wording yet.
The girl suddenly spoke: "Back to the girl, it's because I accidentally passed on the wrong word and made a group of lives go wrong." ”
Ning Xia Qing nodded, and asked again: "How long have you been in the weaving bureau in the county?" Where and what to do? ”
"Back to girl, I joined the weaving bureau at the age of eight and stayed there for nine years. Because of his young age, he has done all kinds of chores, and in recent years, he has begun to follow the steward and help the steward to help. ”
Ning Xia Qing nodded, didn't ask anymore, and secretly thought, the relationship between the Meigong County Weaving Bureau and Tan Wenshi is not shallow.
Cao Shi instructed Ya Po to let Ya Po take the girls out first, and then asked Zi'er with a smile: "Which one do you like?" ”
Zi'er thought for a moment, and then said simply: "I want three joys." ”
Cao nodded with a smile, and asked Ning Xia Qing again: "What do you think of that Sanxi?" ”
"What do you think?"
"That Sanxi is a little young, I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of Zi'er. But the kid is from the countryside, and judging by his size, he should have worked. Let Lan Ying and Cuiyu take it, and they should be able to train it out. After Cao finished speaking, he looked at Ning Xia Qing with a smile: "I think you seem to like the girl from the Weaving Bureau." ”
Ning Xia Qing glanced at the door and made sure that Ya Po couldn't hear their words, so she whispered: "That girl is from the Meigong County Weaving Bureau, and she has been in it for nine years, so she must know the things in the Weaving Bureau very well." In this case, mother, it's better to leave that girl behind, maybe it will be good for our business. ”
Cao Shi hesitated a little: "You have a point. It's just that she's committing a crime......"
Ning Ningqing tried her best to persuade: "But I saw that when she talked about that incident, she didn't have the slightest look of evasion, maybe she was framed, or she was suffered on behalf of others, and it is not impossible." The weaving bureau is so fat, there must be complicated human feelings. It's better to call the tooth woman in, ask carefully, and if there is nothing wrong, buy it. ”
