Chapter 156: I've Seen the Owner
Xu Lan also saw a little bit of Chen's meaning.
She quickly paid out of her own pocket and bought some dim sum fruits from a dim sum shop on the street and gave them to Chen.
Chen's face was stretched with a slight smile.
As she walked, she gulped down the fruit.
Pastry crumbs fell all the way.
When others saw it, it was like the two of them cast strange looks.
Xu Lan was so ashamed that her ears turned red.
Chen didn't care about the eyes of others at all, and still ate happily.
Finally, she led Xu Lan to the door of a family.
Xu Lan saw her stop and knew that it should be there.
Chen's face and body were stained with a lot of pastry dregs, and Xu Lan hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped her clean.
If the proprietor saw Chen's sloppy appearance, he would definitely not hire them.
Chen saw Xu Lan helping her wipe her hands, but she felt quite useful.
"Why did you go earlier? Now know filial piety? Chen said with a sneer.
Xu Lan didn't bother to pay attention to her, so she was silent.
Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a green figure flash not far away.
Suddenly turned his head to look, but saw the back of a girl dressed in green, who happened to walk into the alley next to him, but the back looked a little familiar to Xu Lan.
Xu Lan thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought that that person seemed to be very similar to He Jiaojiao.
However, she is also a young lady from a wealthy family, and it is possible to live in this neighborhood.
The two did not dare to enter through the main entrance, so they went around to the back of the house.
An old woman was waiting at the back door, saw Chen, and was about to speak, but Chen quickly pulled the person aside and whispered a few words.
Xu Lan pursed her lips, feeling strange in her heart.
This person is an acquaintance of the Chen family? How does it seem, the two are not very familiar with each other.
The two of them muttered in a low voice, but the old woman was looking Xu Lan up and down.
Her gaze at the goods made Xu Lan feel extremely uncomfortable.
When the two had finished speaking, the old woman nodded, and led them through the back door.
Xu Lan found that this family was indeed a big family.
Just the servants and maids at the back door, Xu Lan saw five or six.
They were all very clean, and some of them wore coarse satin jackets and jewelry.
Further on, there is a garden.
There are a lot of strange flowers and plants planted in the garden, and Xu Lan is extremely careful not to touch them.
Chen didn't dare to say a word, and cautiously followed behind the old lady, looking left and right, his eyes full of envy and greed.
After the garden, there is a large mansion.
The old woman stood at the door and did not go in, but said through the door, "Steward Sun, the people have arrived." ”
Xu Lan suddenly became a little nervous.
I'm going to see the housekeeper.
That's the one who decides whether or not to hire them.
However, from the time she came in to the present, although the people Xu Lan saw were all busy, they were also busy with daily affairs, and there was no trace of packing and moving away.
"Let them in." Steward Sun's voice sounded a little sharp.
"Come in, you will answer whatever Steward Sun asks." The old woman hurriedly said to Xu Lan, "To be honest, I see that you are very good at your age, and this thing may be possible." ”
"Thank you, auntie." Xu Lan didn't know the other party's name, but she still said politely.
When she entered the door, Xu Lan saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and a brown brocade dress sitting on a chair drinking tea.
She honestly saluted the other party.
Chen followed behind her, shrinking his head and brain, looking timid that he had never seen the world.
Steward Sun glanced at them and stared at Xu Lan with a straight gaze.
He slowly looked Xu Lan up and down, nodded slightly, and then asked, "Are you that Xu Lan?" ”
"Yes." Xu Lan wondered in her heart, how did this person know her name?
Before she could think about it again, the other party asked, "You are the daughter of Xu Dahai of Lianzi Village, and you are fourteen years old this year?" ”
"Hmm." Xu Lan nodded and glanced at Chen.
"I heard you have an older brother at home?" Steward Sun asked.
"There's an older brother."
"But it's been a menstrual affair?" Steward Sun asked.
Xu Lan suddenly became vigilant, she didn't answer, but stared at Steward Sun and asked, "Steward Sun, why are you asking this?" ”
"The little girl is shy?" Steward Sun suddenly laughed twice and turned to look at Chen.
"I haven't had a menstrual period yet." Chen said quickly, "But don't worry, you see that she is so delicate, she is definitely an untrained virgin." If you keep it with you for a while, it's almost time for menstruation. ”
"Grandma, what are you talking about!" Xu Lan was taken aback by Chen's words.
What's the virgin? What menstrual period?
It doesn't sound like she's looking for a job, it's like she's looking for her in-laws!
Such a shameful topic was casually discussed by these two people in front of Xu Lan, as if they didn't care about her thoughts at all.
Xu Lan was so frightened that she turned around and wanted to leave through the door.
A few mothers-in-law guarding the door stopped her.
"Run for what?" Steward Sun's face sank suddenly, "Sure enough, I'm from the countryside, and I don't understand the rules at all!" ”
"She's been so awkward since she was a child, just take a beating." Chen laughed.
"Grandma, you can't!" Xu Lan's hairs stood on end when she heard this.
She still didn't understand the current situation.
This time it was clearly a trap to enter the city.
What to look at the house, what good errands that can get one or two a month, are all made up by the Chen family to deceive people.
The purpose became to trick Xu Lan into the city and into this room.
Before she finished speaking, the mothers-in-law rushed up, first gagged her mouth with rags, and then tied Xu Lan with thick hemp rope.
"She looks good, and she's a delicate little girl." Steward Sun walked up to Xu Lan, touched his beard and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have a menstrual period, you just don't know the rules, so let's teach me well." ”
"Come on, put her in the firewood room, don't eat or drink for a day, and send someone to keep an eye on her all the time."
"Don't let her sleep, prick her with a needle when she falls asleep."
"You can't leave traces on your body, when the master comes back, he will have to inspect the goods."
When Xu Lan heard this, her heart sank suddenly.
She looked at Chan with a pleading look.
In any case, the two of them are relatives who are related by blood.
After listening to what he had just said, Chen could know that this family was not a good person.
If the Chen family repents, then Xu Lan still has a chance to escape.
Who knew that Chen glared at her and scolded: "Look at what, put away your careful thoughts, now you are a member of this family, and in the future, you will honestly serve the master and give birth to a few fat boys." She turned her head to look at Steward Sun, and said with a flattering smile, "I don't know ...... this bride price."
"Go to the bookkeeper and get it." Steward Sun glanced at her in disgust, "You are not allowed to come to the door in the future, you are old and ugly, if you are seen by the master, you will definitely be beaten." ”
