Chapter 52: Choosing a Maid (1)

Wen glanced at his daughter: "You kid, why did you forget this?" If you want a girl in the house, there are naturally two ways, the first is to go to Renyazi to buy it. ”

Human teeth?

Ye Mengmeng woke up instantly. How could she forget? In ancient times, slaves and maids were not completely counted as human beings, but were the private property of their masters, so it was not illegal to buy and sell human beings. However, she still doesn't understand.

"Mother, don't worry about buying it?"

"Silly boy, the girl in the hands of the human tooth, the origin is clear, where is the origin, how many people in the family are, these are all clear."

Ye Mengmeng nodded. "What about the other way?"

"That's naturally the son of the house."

"A child?"

"Yes, the birth of a child in the family is the most reassuring, the whole family is in the house, and the deed of sale is also in the hands of the master, can it be reassuring?" Wen said, "As soon as you talk about this today, I remembered that there are a few little girls in the house who have grown up, or bring you to pick and choose?" ”

Ye Mengmeng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Mother, in that case, please let Yazi bring a few girls into the mansion, and together with several children in the mansion, I will personally select them." ”

"Isn't that easy? Let Mama Dong do this, she understands these rules. Wen turned his head and instructed the girls to find Mama Dong.

Not to mention that Wen's mother and daughter discussed the matter of buying a girl, they said that it was in Ye Jingjing's east wing in the backyard.

Ye Jingjing was dressed in plain clothes, and her eyebrows and eyes were painted with a little light makeup, which made her eyebrows even more picturesque, fresh and elegant.

She was crooked on the chaise longue, and there was a girl kneeling on the edge of the couch.

Ye Jingjing didn't glance at the tea, her eyes just looked at the medical book in her hand.

Qingcha lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

After a long while, Ye Jingjing said slowly: "You say, it was the eldest lady who brought you here?" Why? ”

"Third Miss......" Qingcha said timidly. The slave and maid don't understand ......"

"You don't understand?"

"Miss, the slave maid also thinks it is strange. Last night, as soon as the eldest lady fell asleep, the slave maid also fell asleep, and there was no action, who knew that the eldest lady would lose her temper when she woke up in the morning, and insisted on taking the slave and maid away......"

"That's weird." Ye Jingjing still didn't raise her eyes. "How did she lose her temper?"

Qingcha then explained the matter in detail.

Ye Jingjing didn't make a sound after listening to it, and said after a while: "You mean, she entered the palace last night?" ”

"Yes, the man claimed to be ...... It's Lord Ling of the Zhenbei Palace......"

"Lord Ling?" Ye Jingjing was shocked. "He came to pick up the eldest lady into the palace?"

"Yes!"

"When did you come back?"

"About three hours ......"

"So long? What strange behaviors did the eldest lady do when she came back? ”

"It's not a strange move, it's just ......" Qingcha hesitated.

"How?"

“…… The slave looked at her, and she seemed to be very excited......"

"Excited?"

"Yes, although she tried her best to hide it, the slave still saw it, and it looked like she had some terrible treasure......"

"Baby?" Ye Jingjing's heart moved. "What baby? Gold or silver or something else? "Where did she go to get her baby in such a short time?

"The slave maid only saw that she was wearing a golden lock around her neck......"

"Golden locks? What's so strange about this? Ye Jingjing frowned. Isn't the lady in the house a golden lock in her hand? ”

When the Hou Mansion was not defeated in the early years, the Hou Ye was quite generous, and every young lady was born with a long-lived lock made of gold.

"It's not the lock that the ladies wore, the one the eldest lady wore last night was much bigger and much brighter."

Ye Jingjing frowned and said, "So, did she lose her golden lock?" ”

"No, miss, the slave saw with her own eyes, that golden lock lady is wearing it on her neck."

"In that case, why did she suddenly want to pick you up?"

"This ...... Slaves and maids don't know? ”

"Huh, you don't know?" Ye Jingjing's voice was cold.

"Yes...... Yes, Miss......" Qingcha raised her eyes and glanced at Miss timidly, then lowered her head and said in a slurred. "Miss, the slave maid thinks that after the last incident, the eldest lady seems to have noticed something and is on guard against the slave maid......"

"Not as if, but for sure." Ye Jingjing stared at her coldly. "A person like you who is stupid and has a brain that lacks roots, she doesn't doubt who you suspect? If it were me, I would doubt you too. ”

Qingcha didn't dare to speak.

Ye Jingjing put down the teacup and said coldly: "In my opinion, there is nothing at all this time, eighty percent of her suspects you, and it is not good to send you away openly, so she is looking for an excuse." Now that she has doubted you, she can't stay in the house any longer. Say to yourself, what should Miss Ben do with you? ”

Qingcha bit her lip, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "The slave is at the disposal of the young lady, and there is no complaint." ”

Ye Jingjing got up and came to the window, stared out of the window, and sighed after a while: "That's it, you have been with me for two years, and you have no credit and hard work." In this way, you go to Zhuangzi to plant medicinal herbs. ”

Qingcha was grateful, bowed her head and bowed: "Thank you, Miss!" ”

Although Zhuangzi is bitter, it is better than selling allotments.

After Qingcha withdrew, Ye Jingjing stood alone in front of the window.

The woman must have gone to see the concubine when she entered the palace, and eighty percent of the golden lock was given to her by the concubine.

In addition to the golden lock, did the concubine give her anything else?

What resort is the woman in a hurry to build, and what is most lacking?

Silver, of course!

Will Concubine Pei give her the golden lock and give her something else at the same time? Like a silver ticket?

A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Jingjing's mouth. For the first time, she felt like she was on the right track.

In other words, Wen's work efficiency is still quite high, and the next afternoon, he found a little girl about seventy, eighty, three or four years old.

In the courtyard in front of the flower hall, the little girls stood in a row. These little girls are both human and childlike.

Ye Mengmeng and Wen sat on the chairs on the edge of the steps.

Ye Mengmeng glanced at these girls. The girls all bowed their heads, and their expressions were a little reserved.

Ye Mengmeng smiled: "Raise your heads." How can I see you clearly when I keep my head down? ”

The girls squirmed and raised their heads.

Ye Mengmeng glanced at it, nodded and pointed to the first girl from the left, and said, "Start with you, everyone introduces themselves." Including your age, name, place of origin, who is in your family, and what your family's occupation is, you must make it clear. ”

Suddenly I thought, some girls have been sold to people since they were young, where do they remember their family? Busy added: "If you really can't remember where you came from, then forget it." ”

The first place from the left is a sturdy girl with spots on her face and not beautiful, but she is dressed neatly and freshly, and she looks like a quick person. She glanced up at the young lady, and saw that the young lady's face was soft and her eyes were encouraging, so she dared to speak.
