Chapter 50: The Slave and the Maid

On the second day, Ya Po took people into the county Yahou house, Yan Niang asked Jiang's mother to pick first, Jiang's mother waved her hand and said: "I'm old, I can have peach branches to serve me, I don't need so many slaves." ”

Yan Niang persuaded: "Mother, it's not as good as before, no matter what, you have to have two people to serve you." Momozhi is young, so I have to pick a stable point for you, so that there will be someone to talk to you. ”

Hearing this, Jiang's mother felt quite reasonable, so she got up and went to pick someone. Among the group of people brought by Ya Po, there were only two women in their forties, one honest and diligent, and the other lively. Mother Jiang compared them, and finally chose the one who was lively.

The honest and diligent woman couldn't help but be a little disappointed when she saw that she was defeated, but she still honestly retreated.

Next, it's time for Yan Niang to choose someone, she chose a twelve-year-old personal maid for Manman, who is responsible for taking care of Manman's daily life and vigil on weekdays; The two sons were still young, so they didn't choose a little maid, discussed with Jiang's mother, and chose two young daughters-in-law in their twenties who had given birth to children.

Finally, it was her turn, and she walked around the men, her eyes locked on a mother and daughter. The two of them were dressed in shabby clothes, but their backs were straight, and compared with the other people who were cowering with their heads buried in their heads, the two looked much calmer. After Yan Niang asked the mother and daughter a few questions, she decided to choose them.

Seeing that Yan Niang had chosen the mother and daughter, Ya Po hesitated and said, "Madam, this Qi family and her daughter are the family members of the criminal ministers, and I am afraid that they will not be able to serve anyone." ”

After listening to Ya Po's words, the mother hurriedly pulled her daughter to kneel, "Madam, although our mother and daughter are the family members of the criminal courtiers, they can do laundry, cooking, sewing and mending work, and please leave Mrs. with us." After speaking, he raised his hands for Yan Niang to see.

It was a pair of rough, dark hands, the backs of which were covered with large and small scars, and the palms of the hands were covered with a thick layer of calluses. In contrast, although Qi's daughter Qingyang's hands do not have so many scars, they are also dry and thin, with prominent joints, and they don't look like a girl's hands at all.

It seems that they have suffered a lot.

Yan Niang said to Ya Po: "It's them." Then he asked, "How much money is there?" ”

Ya Po reported a number, Yan Niang paid her the amount, and got everyone's deed of sale. After Ya Po left, Yan Niang asked Taozhi to lead them down to freshen up, and then make unified arrangements in a few days.

After a while, Peach Branch came over with Kale, "Madam, the slave has something to report to you." ”

Yan Niang glanced at the two of them and bowed her head.

Taozhi said: "Madam, Kale is not the maid of Jin Yu's family, she is Jin Yulanlan, the youngest daughter of Master Jin Yu. ”

"Is that true?" Yan Niang twisted her eyebrows and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Her gaze went back and forth on Kale several times, and no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a young lady of the Jin Yu family.

As soon as she mentioned this peach branch, she was very angry, and she said: "Madam, the slave maid was sold by my uncle to Master Jin Yu's mansion and sent to serve Miss Lanlan's aunt. Later, after the death of her aunt, she was sold by Mrs. Jin Yu, and finally bought back by the adult to serve the old lady. ”

"When my aunt was still there, Mrs. Jin Yu was often harsh on their mother and daughter. After the aunt went, Mrs. Jin Yu ignored Miss Lanlan's identity and forced her to be a maid to serve her sister-in-law. ”

When the peach branch hugged the kale, the little face of the kale's palm was already covered with tears. Yan Niang sighed, this is also a poor little girl.

"That's it, let her stay in the county government first, and then send her back in a few days."

Taozhi was stunned for a moment, and when she wanted to say something, Yan Niang said: "Taozhi, the people who bought it today will be handed over to you, you can tell them about the rules of our house, so as not to make trouble." ”

"The slave obeys." Momozhi hurriedly responded.

Yan Niang told Mother Jiang about Kale's life experience, and Mother Jiang was also very annoyed when she heard it, "I didn't expect that Jin Yu's family to be so vicious, a good young lady made a maid, not to mention, but also to serve Sister Jin, doesn't Master Jin Yu care?" ”

Yan Niang shook her head, "There are a lot of concubines and concubines in the Jin Yu family, and Master Jin Yu is a person who likes the new and hates the old, after the aunt of kale goes, where does Master Jin Yu remember that he has such a daughter." ”

Jiang Mu snorted, "When Cheng'er comes back, I want to tell him that such a ruthless person can't let him follow the caravan to make money." ”

Sure enough, after Jiang Yucheng came back, Jiang's mother sued Master Jin Yu. After hearing that kale was the youngest daughter of Master Jin Yu, Jiang Yucheng was also a little surprised.

"Mother, I'll find a chance to mention this matter to Master Jin Yu tomorrow." He said, "As for letting him withdraw from the caravan, don't mention it in the future." ”

On the second day, Qi brought her daughter to serve Yan Niang, who remembered that she was once a family member of a large family, so she asked her to talk about how to solve the problem of kale.

When Qi heard this, he didn't answer in a hurry, but asked Taozhi carefully about the situation of Jin Yu's family before he slowly spoke: "Master Jin Yu's favorite concubine Aunt Hu is the maiden niece of Mrs. Jin Yu, and she has been fighting with Mrs. Jin Yu in the backyard all these years. Aunt Hu doesn't have a son and a half daughter, so she might as well let Kale recognize Aunt Hu as her mother, and with Aunt Hu's care, presumably Mrs. Jin Yu will not dare to grind Kale easily. ”

Hearing this, Yan Niang also felt that this was a good way. She asked Kale if she would like Aunt Hu to be her mother, and Kale hesitated for a while and said timidly: "Aunt Hu, is she willing to recognize me as a daughter?" ”

Yan Niang said softly: "You don't have to worry about this. ”

Kale nodded obediently.

Jiang Yucheng mentioned it to Master Jin Yu in passing, and Master Jin Yu was taken aback when he heard that his daughter was in Jiang's Mansion, and said secretly in his heart: Didn't my wife say that she gave a maid, how could she be a little twelve?

hurriedly apologized to Jiang Yucheng, Jiang Yucheng said: "You just need to bring your daughter back, don't say anything else." ”

Master Jin Yu hurriedly went to the county government to pick up his daughter, Yan Niang asked Taozhi and Qi to send kale back, Qi conveyed Yan Niang's meaning, and Master Jin Yu hurriedly responded: "From today on, Xiao Twelve is Yunqin's daughter." ”

In the back house of Jin Yu's house, Mrs. Jin Yu heard that Master Jin Yu personally took the kale back, and asked her to recognize Hu Yunqin's slut as her mother, so angry that she broke the tea cup in her hand.

"Sluts, sluts, all sluts." She couldn't help but scold.

Jin Yuqingqing also rushed over after hearing the news, and said hatefully: "It's all the Nie clan's ghost, otherwise my father wouldn't know that the little slut was sent to the county office." ”

Mrs. Jin Yu said with a blushing face: "Then the Nie family is a jealous woman, but it's a pity that my son has such a good appearance, if he has the opportunity to let Master Jiang meet, he will definitely be dazzled by my son." ”

Jin Yuqingqing was a little shy when she heard this, "Mother, my daughter has an idea, and I can let Master Jiang have an idea about my daughter." ”

"My son, what can you say?"

Jin Yuqingqing leaned into her mother's ear and whispered her idea. After Mrs. Jin Yu heard this, she clapped her hands and smiled: "I'm still young and smart, you can do what you want to do, and your mother will support you." ”

On the other side, when Aunt Hu heard that Master Jin Yu asked her to recognize kale as her daughter, she subconsciously wanted to object. But when Master Jin Yu brought out Yan Niang, the county lady, she responded with a smile after thinking for a while.

She gently leaned on Master Jin Yu's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Master, now that I have a daughter, when will the master give me another son?" ”

After listening to the words of the concubine, Master Jin Yu was a little embarrassed, "Yunqin, you also know that there is only one son of the eldest young master born to his wife in the entire Jin Yu Mansion, and I can't ...... it."

Aunt Hu glanced at him and said angrily: "I don't want you to put the eldest young master in my name, if you really do this, the woman won't eat me." The daughter is enough, the son has to give birth to himself, and I am not uncommon for others to give birth. ”

Seeing that she was angry, Master Jin Yu hurriedly said, "Okay, let's give birth to ourselves." After speaking, she whispered a few words in her ear, and Aunt Hu's eyes lit up when she heard it.

She smiled and nodded on his forehead, "Master, you have to be the talker, otherwise don't enter my house in the future." ”

Master Jin Yu responded with a smile.

After he left, Aunt Hu restrained her smile, called the personal maid hedge and said: "Open my small warehouse, pick a few pieces of jewelry at random and send them to my daughter, as a meeting gift from my mother." ”

"Yes." Hedges take orders.

Just as she was about to go, Aunt Hu said again: "Pick two more pieces of cloth with fresh colors and send them over." At the end, he added: "By the way, let Songtao and Mother Yang follow over to serve." ”

After the hedge retreated, a round-faced maid wearing a green bikini came in, "Auntie, I just came to report that the main courtyard seems to be beating the idea of the county government that Lord Jiang." ”

Aunt Hu listened to it and smiled disdainfully: "Luyin, this lady of our family, she usually looks down on women who are concubines the most, but I didn't expect that now she will send her daughter to be a concubine, which is really the funniest joke I have ever heard." ”

Lu Yin answered: "That's what my aunt said. She raised her eyes and looked at her master, and proposed, "Auntie, why don't we reveal this matter to Mrs. Jiang, and we should have a good fate." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Hu said thoughtfully: "The idea is not bad, but I am afraid that it was the woman's plan to deliberately dig a pit and lead me to jump in." ”

She called Lu Yin forward, whispered a few words to her, and told her to step down.

After a stick of incense, the hedge returned.

"Auntie, this is Miss Twelve's thank you gift." As he spoke, he handed over a purse embroidered with the words "All the Best".

Aunt Hu took the purse and played with it a few times, "The stitches are fine, the pattern I chose is to my liking, and the color matching is also good, it seems that our twelve young ladies are not as wooden as they seem." ”

After speaking, he sighed: "Also, how could such a shrewd aunt give birth to a stupid daughter." ”

If Aunt Wen was still alive, I am afraid that the one in the main courtyard would have vomited blood a long time ago, where would there be a chance to calculate this and that.

Hey, forget it, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, for the sake of Aunt Wen and Jin Yu's incompatibility when she was alive, she should be better for her daughter.
