The memory of my parents has long been blurred, but I remember that it seemed that the eldest brother wanted to marry, but the bride price money was not enough, so my parents decided to sell me, but I was only six years old at that time.

At that time, I didn't understand anything, and the most I thought about the concept of marrying was to invite you to dinner, and then hold a banquet in the village, and make a lot of delicious food, so that the whole village would come.

I don't think about the bride price money like adults, the cost of it, and I don't think about whether to sell my daughter if the bride price money is not enough.

But I didn't know anything, I didn't know that my parents were planning to sell me to ease the burden of life, and I still helped my parents work every day.

Although in those days, they always sighed around me, not knowing whether they were complaining or blaming themselves.

I don't know any of this, I only know that later my brother married a daughter-in-law, and my parents lost a daughter, and Liufu had an extra maid, that's all.

They sold me into Liufu, using a death deed, signing a deed of sale, and from then on I was a maid in Liufu until I died.

On the day of the sale, my parents said that they would take me into the city to play, because I had never been to the city, and my imagination about the city was accumulated bit by bit from my brother's dictation.

I was overjoyed to hear that I could go into the city to play, not to mention how happy I was when fantasy became reality.

But that day, I was the only one giggling there, completely unaware of what the future was in store for me.

The father was very dull, the mother was completely crying, and the brother didn't know where to go.

On the way, everyone I met looked at me sympathetically, but they didn't say anything.

When I entered the city, I felt like I had arrived in a new world.

The lively bazaar, teahouses and restaurants are lined up, the streets are full of dazzling shops, and there are all kinds of vendors, some play monkeys, some perform chest stones, some fortune tellers, some write letters for others, and some sell rock sugar gourds.

Especially the red rock sugar gourd, my father saw my desire for the rock sugar gourd, and said to the vendor, "How much is a string?" ”

When the vendor saw the business coming to the door, he immediately replied: "One penny and one string, no two prices, how much do you want." ”

"Let's take a string", after saying that, the father took out the money bag from his arms, took out a penny from it and gave it to the vendor, and then put it back in his arms.

"Come, little girl, your rock sugar gourd, come often in the future."

I happily accepted the rock sugar gourd from the vendor, because it was the first time my parents had bought something for me, although it was also the only time.

Then, I was taken to the back door of Liufu, as for why it is not the main entrance, maybe it is dishonorable to sell my daughter, or it is humble, I am not qualified, and I have no face!

My father knocked on the door, but my mother held me in her arms and burst into tears.

I didn't know what was going to happen next, I didn't know what to do, I just helped my mother wipe away her tears, but I felt that by doing so, my mother cried harder.

The door opened, and out was supposed to be a steward, and my father said a few words to him, and then he looked at me carefully, and that look made me very uncomfortable, as if he were looking at a piece of goods.

Then he handed his father a small bag, and after weighing it with his hand, he walked over.

But behind the door, two old women came out, and came after the steward.

I had no idea what was going on, but I felt my mother hug me tighter and tighter, as if I was afraid of losing me.

But under the persuasion of her father, she still let go, and I was dragged into the door by two old women, one left and one right.

I struggled desperately, tears soaked my whole face, but I was still dragged in, as if I had been dragged into a horrible abyss.

I was still holding the uneaten rock sugar gourd tightly in my hand.

At that time, I didn't understand, my father said to my mother, I live with them, I will live a miserable life in the future, and I entered Liufu, maybe I can live a life of a master.

But how did they know how hard it was to become a human being?

That night, I waited until the old wives were asleep, and planned to quietly leave Liufu and go home.

But Liufu was too big for me, I couldn't find my way out, and I didn't know how to get back to my room.

In the midst of a dilemma, I came to a gazebo.

And there was someone in the gazebo, a man about the same height as me, and he was wearing beautiful clothes that were very beautiful and exquisite.

In my opinion, he must be the son of Liufu, and later confirmed my suspicion.

He was looking at the moon, so engrossed that he didn't notice that I was slowly coming to him.

Since I didn't eat at night, it was a string of rock sugar gourds at noon, so my stomach was already hungry, and it happened that it was still ringing at this time.

So much so that he noticed me, noticed my embarrassment, smiled and said, "There's pastries over there, let's go eat some!" ”

He looked at me gobbling up and seemed to feel funny, so he kept laughing.

But I didn't think much of it because I was really hungry and the pastry was so delicious.

After eating, I asked him curiously, "Were you looking at the moon just now?" Is there really a rabbit on it? ”

"No, I'm just homesick, a distant home, the moon is full of potholes, and there are no rabbits."

"You lie, have you ever been to the moon, otherwise you can say that it is full of potholes, my parents said that the moon is where Chang'e lives, not what you said."

He couldn't deny it, didn't want to explain more, and then continued to look at his moon.

After a while, the steward came over with three or four old women during the day.

I was so frightened that I hurried to hide behind him, but the place was so small that I was still discovered.

The steward and the old women walked over slowly, and they all made a gesture, and then the steward whispered: "I have seen the third young master, I am here to find the escaped maid, and please forgive the third young master, let us take the little girl behind you away." ”

The third young master opened his mouth and said, "Steward Zhao, you can take her away, but spare her this time and treat her well in the future." ”

"Okay, Third Young Master, we must follow your orders", as soon as Steward Zhao finished speaking, he ordered the two old women to come forward and take me away.

In the end, I couldn't leave, and I went around and went back to square one.

After I went back, Steward Zhao did not punish me, but fortunately, the third young master pleaded for mercy.

It is said that in the past, there were escaped maids who were caught back, and they were all beaten very badly, and they could not go to the ground for three days, and they were directly killed, and then thrown into mass graves outside the city to let wild dogs share their food.

In the next three years, I followed behind the old women, learning how to make tea, how to treat people, what to do and what not to do, and not to talk about the master behind my back.

I also met some people, and kept in mind the master, young master, young lady and lady in the house, such as the third young master Liu Ming who helped me three years ago.

All that remained was to memorize the stewards in the house, and who the old women and maids were in each courtyard.

Today, Steward Zhao asked me to pack up my things, and then go to Qingzhu Courtyard, saying that the Wang Po who used to take care of the Third Young Master was old, and she was a little overwhelmed, so she asked me to get there, just follow the instructions of the Third Young Master and Wang Po.

In this regard, I am very happy, the third young master is the best-looking among the young masters of Liufu, and he treats his subordinates very kindly, so Qingzhuyuan is the place where we little maids want to go the most.

When I got there, under the leadership of Wang Po, I came to my small room, and then asked the third young master to say goodbye, which was considered to be officially joining the Qingzhu Academy.
