Chapter 237: The Mother and Daughter of the Hua Family
A girl who looked sixteen or seventeen years old was hiding behind her eldest mother, a little cowardly.
Her face was dirty, but she couldn't hide her beauty.
Xu Shu smiled and stretched out his hand to her: "Come over and I'll take a look." ”
Her smile was like having the ability to bewitch, so that the girl stepped forward unconsciously.
Xu Shu gave her a preliminary examination, and at least from the external symptoms, she did not have smallpox.
"What's your name?" Xu Shu asked her with a smile.
The girl whispered, "Bonus." ”
Xu Shu smiled, this name is quite vulgar.
"I will save your life today, but will you sell yourself to me?"
Bonusa shook and looked up at her mother, her eyes very complicated.
Her mother used to be a Qinglou woman, and she had a miserable life, and she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past when she gave birth to a daughter like her who didn't know who her father was.
The eldest mother also hesitated, living like that kind of life is not better than death.
Xu Shu knew at a glance that they were thinking about it, maybe the word selling their bodies sounded too sensitive.
"I'm a county lord, I won't sell you to the Qinglou for a few taels of silver, I'm asking you to follow me and be my maidservant, are you willing?"
Before Hua Hong could speak, the eldest lady said for her first: "Willing to be willing, the county lord is willing to take her in, and we are already climbing." ”
Xu Shu looked at the bonus: "What about you?" ”
Hua Hong looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, not knowing what to say.
The eldest lady pushed her: "Kneel down and thank the county lord." ”
Hua Hong knelt down slowly, but did not speak for a long time.
Xu Shu pulled her up: "I know what you're worried about. ”
She beckoned to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady stepped forward suspiciously.
Xu Shu looked her up and down for a long time, and then checked her again.
"You probably haven't contracted smallpox yet, I'll give you an injection too."
The eldest lady hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, no, the county lord, I am extremely grateful if you are willing to save my daughter and give her a place to live, I have nothing to repay you." ”
Xu Shu said: "I don't need you to repay me, in the same way, you just need to sell yourself to me." ”
The eldest lady didn't expect that she would have a place to go while still living, so she nodded again and again: "As long as the county lord is willing to take in our mother and daughter, I am willing to give my life to the county lord." ”
Xu Shu smiled: "I don't need you to work hard, but I need you to help me take charge of a restaurant that is about to open, and I also need you to help me train the girls inside." ”
Seeing that the eldest lady opened her mouth and wanted to speak, Xu Shu stopped her words: "Don't worry, it is definitely not a Qinglou that lets the girls sell themselves to pick up customers." ”
When the eldest lady heard her say this, she was relieved.
Xu Shu sat on the stump, lifted her sleeves, and gave each of them a needle.
Hua Niang looked at her in disbelief: "This... That's good? ”
It's unbelievable.
There was a man next to him who was grizzled and dirty, but he couldn't hide his wealth at a glance, and sneered: "Hmph, what can this do, I see your mother and daughter, just wait for death." ”
Xu Shu ignored him, but said to Hua Niang: "Do you think that if you are not 100% sure, why should I run out if I am not a county lord in the capital." ”
This was reasonable, and the people around him were silent.
"And," Xu Shu added, "I haven't contracted smallpox since I came here." ”
Someone retorted to her: "You've just arrived, and even if you get it, you can't tell it." ”
Xu Shu slowly raised an arm: "Even so, I still haven't been infected." ”
On the white arm, there was a deep, deep tooth mark that had oozing blood.
