After the little girl disappeared, Chang's mother still smiled kindly: "Although I am a tooth wife, but I am also a conscientious trader, I have to know the maid who went out from me, whether the master's house is a reliable family, and I will never sell it without knowing it just for money, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

No wonder this Chang mother can stand up for her reputation in this Jingshi family, which shows that she is also a kind businessman.

Even the maids and maids that they sold in their hands can think about their future, and the master family naturally doesn't have to worry about whether these trained subordinates are reliable.

Ji Yue nodded and said, "Thinking that Mother Chang can sit firmly on the throne of the first tooth woman in Jingshi, her tone must be very strict." ”

This is asking her to keep it a secret.

Chang's mother smiled clearly, "This is natural, you don't have to worry." ”

"Then I'll say it bluntly, I'm from King Yong's Mansion, this time I want a fifteen or sixteen-year-old beautiful girl, I don't know if my mother has a suitable one?" Jiyue gets straight to the point.

Chang's mother turned her mind, does this mean that King Yong wants, or does the prince want it? Do you want to be a maid or ......

Ji Yue saw Chang's mother hesitating, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's definitely a good place to go." ”

Yongwangfu, Chang's mother naturally can't afford to offend, don't care if it's a good place to go, as long as it's a royal dignitary, she has to give it.

Chang's mother's smiling eyes couldn't be seen, "Look at what you said, in such a good place as Yongwangfu, how many people want to go to it when they break their heads, even if they are a rough girl who sprinkles and sweeps, they can't take their turn!" I'm sorry to wait a minute, I'm going to call you a few pretty girls. ”

As soon as she heard the words Yongwangfu, Chang's mother immediately became a lot warmer, and soon brought three beautiful girls over.

Well-behaved, well-mannered, generous, but the training is very good.

Ji Yue took a few looks, but there was one of the most beautiful girls, melon seed face, willow eyebrows, bright eyes, pointed nose, although the limbs were slender, but the breasts were plump and the buttocks were full, wearing a white skirt, which made me even more pitiful and attractive.

But it doesn't seem to be a blessing.

But before she came, the county lord deliberately emphasized to her that she must be beautiful, and the more beautiful the better.

Listening to the county lord's tone, it didn't look like he wanted to buy a maid.

She hesitated for a moment and pointed to the melon-faced beauty, "Just want this, is it a death contract?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Chang's mother nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "You are really a good eye, the girl who has walked through my hands in the past two years, this is the most beautiful one I have ever met." ”

Saying that, she sighed again: "But it's also a poor child, her family is from Hexi Village on the outskirts of Beijing, her widowed mother just passed away last month, and there is a sick brother and a ten-year-old sister at home, so she was forced to come out and sell herself." ”

No wonder he was dressed in white.

is indeed a poor person, Ji Yue listened to what happened to this girl, and couldn't help but think of herself.

She was also poor in the family, when she was ten years old, not only did her family die, but she also owed some debts, and the creditor had to sell her to Ya Pozi, but fortunately she was lucky enough to enter the palace and serve such a good master as the county lord.

"How much silver?" Ji Yue asked.

Mother Chang stretched out four fingers and said with a smile: "Forty taels." ”

In Beijing, the average fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl is only about twenty taels, and if she is outstanding, she can't exceed thirty taels, and forty taels is a bit too high.

However, Chang's mother has a good reputation, and the price is naturally higher.

What's more, this girl's appearance and figure are all first-class, if some lustful people look at it, even fifty or sixty taels are willing to buy it.

Ji Yue nodded, took out two brand-new silver ingots from the money bag and handed them to Chang's mother.

Chang's mother took it with a smile and took a closer look, it was still official silver, it seemed that it had just been taken out of the library, and it had not yet flowed through.

Ordinary people can't use official money, but they will go to jail.

However, for Chang's mother, this is not a big deal, she has been trading with powerful people all year round, and she has received a lot of official silver.

Moreover, the official silver is full of pounds, and there are no impurities, which is much better than ordinary silver.

She took out a deed of sale from her sleeve, handed it to Ji Yue, and said with a smile: "This is a deed of sale, please keep it."

After watching Ji Yue put it away, she smiled again and said, "If you need any more maids, just come to my wife Chang and make sure you are satisfied." ”

Ji Yue nodded and led the girl out.

Chang's mother personally sent them out with a smile.

This girl has been following Ji Yue's side with her head down, and as soon as she walked out of the alley two steps, a man passed by, and she couldn't help but look at this girl twice.

Ji Yue's footsteps paused, such an eye-catching appearance, it is better to cover it.

There is a ready-to-wear store not far away,

"You wait for me now, I'll go buy something, and I'll be right back." Ji Yue said to her.

The girl nodded obediently, stopped, and found an inconspicuous corner to stand.

Soon, Ji Yue came out of the ready-to-wear store, and she came over with a black gauze hat in her hand and asked the girl to wear it.

It's much better that way.

She led the girl quietly through the corner door at the back of the house before dinner.

And no one noticed.

Tong Yan looked at this girl and was quite satisfied, she looked at the deed of sale and asked, "Your name is Chen Yuke?" ”

The girl said respectfully: "Yes, the maid's surname is Chen, and her nickname is Yuke." ”

Tong Yan chuckled playfully, "Yuke? It's a good name, who gave it to you? Have you ever read a book? ”

Chen Yuke replied: "The maid has no father since she was born, and Ah Niang said before her death that this was taken by her father for her maid, and the maid has never read a book, and only knows a few common words." ”

"So, your mother remarried?" Tong Yan stood up from the chair and paced thoughtfully, otherwise where would the younger brothers and sisters come from.

Chen Yuke nodded and said, "Yes, I gave birth to a younger brother and a younger sister to my servant." ”

"I happened to read a poem a few days ago, and there are two sentences that are quite good, I said it would be good for you to listen to them?"

Chen Yuke doesn't understand what's going on, what's wrong with her nickname?

But she didn't dare to ask, so she could only nod her head and listen respectfully, hoping that the county lord would not hate her and send her back.

Tong Yan said loudly: "Today, I have seen Jin Wugui, and the chariots and horses are avoiding Yuke. ”

She looked at Chen Yuke and grinned, "How is it a good poem?" ”

It's a pity that Chen Yuke looked dazed, but he still nodded and echoed: "Although the maid doesn't understand, the county lord must be reading good poems." ”

Tong Yan was a little disappointed.

This kind of thing is something that only the powerful can afford, and ordinary people can't even afford horses, let alone the jewelry on Ma Luo's head, I'm afraid that I haven't even heard of it, so how can I name my daughter Yuke?

Maybe her dad had heard of it?

"Then your own father has ever read? Were all the ancestors farmers? Tong Yan asked without giving up.

Chen Yuke pondered for a while, and she didn't remember that Ah Niang had said that Ah Dad was a scholar, and she didn't know if her ancestors were all farmers.

She looked at the county lord's burning eyes, so she had to tell the truth.
