Pearl saw Su Xiaoman's worries in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Then why don't you work in your previous family?" ”

"The Shangjia family went to Beijing, and they found a better companion in Beijing, so we dismissed our inferior companion!"

Su Xiaoman nodded.

The third girl stepped forward and said, "Madame is fine, the slave is called Hongxiao, and the female red sprinkler can be done!" ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and handed Su Xiaoman a rough cardigan embroidered style, but the embroiderer attracted her attention, remembered the previous garment workshop, and sighed: "Well, I also had an embroidery workshop before, and the embroiderers of the embroidery girls are similar to you." ”

The girl was dressed in red, looking very playful and lively.

The fourth girl stepped forward tremblingly, raised her eyes and glanced at Su Xiaoman secretly, lowered her head again, and said in a trembling voice: "Slave...... Slave, Xiao Yuan, is ...... Slaves can fight ..... Cleaning, laundry, and chores are all ...... You can do it! ”

The voice became smaller and smaller, and even the three female envoys next to him began to laugh.

Pearl, who was unaware on the side, immediately roared: "Are you stammering? Speak with your tongue straightened! ”

Su Xiaoman saw her trembling appearance and remembered the picture of being abused in the village before, and he was as pitiful as her, at that time, everyone could bully her, and if you looked closely, there were whip marks on her arms.

Hurriedly called the pearl and said: "Pearl, she is afraid, not stammering!" ”

"Don't be afraid, we are ordinary people, there are not so many rules, you tell me where the injuries on your body came from, what about your parents?"

Seeing that Su Xiaoman was so understanding, Xiao Yuan couldn't care about his emotions, cried in a panic, knelt on the ground and shouted in a choked voice: "Mrs. a lot, the slave is from Huangkou Village, my parents died at an early age, my relatives sold me to Renyazi for money, and resold me several times, a few days ago, an old man came to find the person who took me, and said that he wanted to marry me back to be a concubine, that person is already seventy years old, I didn't follow, I ran out secretly, but I didn't escape being injured by someone's teeth." ”

Saying that, he immediately knelt on the ground, tears erupted in Shui Lingling's eyes like a flood, and he stretched out his hands to pry open his sleeve robe, and the dozens of rattan blood marks on the big horn, this is only on the arm, I don't know how many scars there are on the body, and Su Xiaoman is really distressed when he sees it.

"In the future, when you come to my Lu Mansion, you will be a member of my Lu Mansion, we will not treat our own people badly, you don't have to worry about being displaced in the future."

Su Xiaoman looked at her with distressed eyes, and it was inconvenient to say more, Xiao Yuan said gratefully: "If it weren't for the people from Madame's mansion who came to the city that day, I'm afraid the slave would have died on the spot." ”

The four female envoys had already understood it clearly, and the guards had also reported to Su Xiaoman earlier that the four of them were very clean, and even their relatives knew everything clearly.

After thinking for a long time, the four of them looked at Su Xiaoman, who was in a trance, and Pearl lowered his body slightly and whispered, "Madam, it's time to arrange!" ”

Su Xiaoman was stunned and reacted: "Well, let's do it, Yingge will go to Wangshu to be a companion, Liuli will settle down in my yard for the time being, as for cooking, let's take a look, after all, Wangshu is a picky person, Hongxiao, you go to Changxiju to find Grandma Pan, she will arrange work for you, Xiaoyuan, you are still young, follow Pearl to learn first." ”

The four of them agreed: "Yes! ”

Su Xiaoman took a look at the clothes on the four of them, they were really not suitable for wearing in the mansion, and waved his hand: "Pearl, you go and get a few sets of plain clothes for them on weekdays, and place another room for them to live in!" ”

Pearl half-squatted: "Yes!" ”

After Su Xiaoman finished speaking, he turned his head to the four female envoys and said: "Your monthly silver is the same, three taels of silver per month, and the regular rest is also the third day of the month. ”

Now it seems that the female envoy in the family is still not enough to send the envoy, now there are only four, and one of them is younger and still needs to be trained, so I have to let the guards go to the human market to pick some more, thinking about Su Xiaoman and denying his thoughts, thinking about the black-hearted people that Xiao Yuan said, I can't help but feel a little angry in my heart, what kind of person can beat a little girl like this.

After arranging everything, Su Xiaoman waited in the courtyard for Pearl to come back from the side room, planning to go to the market to see it in person, Pearl returned to the courtyard with Xiao Yuan, who had tidied up his clothes and bun, and found that Xiao Yuan under the sludge looked very pitiful, a pair of big black eyes under Shui Yue's curved eyebrows, and two lips like pink lotus under the small nose, which looked very fresh and refined.

Su Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder that seventy-year-old man takes a fancy to you, I feel distressed for this pitiful appearance!" ”

Xiao Yuan subconsciously lowered his eyes shyly and didn't dare to speak, obediently followed behind the two, and Pearl helped Su Xiaoman out of the main courtyard.

The human market is a very complicated place, everyone has it, and anything can happen, thanks to Su Xiaoman, who also brought four guards with him, otherwise the carriage carrying the three people would have been crowded.

When the people saw the elegant carriage coming, they rushed forward and shouted.

"Madame, do you need a maidservant? Do you need a bad mother-in-law? Need a house slave? ”

"Madam, look at how my maid is, she can do any job!"

People of all shapes pulled their own people to squeeze on both sides of the carriage, and the guards had to pull out their swords to drive the crowd away, Su Xiaoman looked at the side of the curtain and saw a large tent similar to cloth I didn't know what it was, stretched out his hand and pointed to that place and said, "Let's go there and have a look!" ”

He turned his head again to look at Xiao Yuan's trembling appearance and said, "What are you afraid of?" ”

"Madam, can we not go there, the slave trader is selling other women there, and the slave and maid are a little scared!"

looked in the direction of the tent from time to time, which aroused Su Xiaoman's interest, what kind of black man can make people have such a shadow, the more she didn't want to go, the more Su Xiaoman wanted to go.

With the arrival of the carriage, Ren Yazi also followed behind the car, and the four guards surrounded the four corners to block Ren Yazi outside, Su Xiaoman himself looked extraordinary, and the others looked at it with longing.

When I entered the tent, I saw the people on the stage shouting the price, those businessmen or rich people gathered here, there were more than a dozen women of different colors on the stage, some were very young, and the youngest looked like he was only seven or eight years old.

Pearl found an empty seat for Su Xiaoman and sat down, and the people on the stage recognized Xiao Yuan at a glance, raised her eyebrows and smiled at Xiao Yuan sinisterly, and she was so frightened that she hid directly behind the guard.

Su Xiaoman took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Xiao Yuan, come and sit, he doesn't dare to do anything to you!" ”

Xiao Yuan was stunned, there had never been a lady who would let a female envoy sit at the same table, and the seemingly delicate Su Xiaoman in front of her made her feel very confident.

moved his steps and sat next to Su Xiaoman, his eyes flickered from time to time, revealing the timidity in his heart, and the people on the stage looked at Xiao Yuan in surprise, as if they were guessing something.

"Okay, bosses, the new woman who arrived today, everyone has a look, she is very smart, whether she buys it home to be a female envoy, a room, or a concubine! Check it all out! ”

Su Xiaoman smiled against his will, this is a serious market, it is completely like the turtle prince of Qinlou Chu Pavilion, who specializes in picking and playing with objects for those rich people, and does not treat women as human beings at all.

The second round of women stood on the stage one after another, and Xiao Yuan looked at the stage in surprise and shouted: "Herring, it's herring!" ”

Following Xiao Yuan's eyes, a thinly dressed woman came into view, dressed the same as Xiao Yuan, Su Xiaoman opened his mouth and asked, "She is your countryman?" ”

Xiao Yuan nodded quickly, although he didn't know the woman's personality, Su Xiaoman still wanted to help her, after all, the two fellow villagers were relatively good together.

Soon there was a shouting price on the stage, and soon several women in front of her were bought by others, and she never saw her take the initiative to step forward to Qingyu, and she reached out angrily and rudely pulled her forward and shouted: "Bosses, how is this woman?" Now the price is two taels, if you like it, you can increase the price, and you can be a concubine! ”

Qingyu didn't notice Xiao Yuan sitting in the audience, stood on the stage and struggled, spit on the human teeth and shouted: "Bah, who wants to be a concubine, get out!" ”

The angry man's teeth immediately slapped Qingyu in the face, and a slap mark immediately appeared on the fair-skinned little face, and the people in the audience shouted: "You are all broken, what are you doing?" ”

Ren Yazi immediately smiled evilly: "This master, if you like it, the marks on your face will disappear in two or three days, isn't this person sound!" Haha, this is disobedient, of course it is a lesson! ”

Su Xiaoman watched Qingyu's actions, covered his mouth and laughed twice: "This girl is very anxious, if she can teach well, maybe she will be a good helper!" ”

Raising his eyes and signaling to Pearl, Pearl immediately stretched out his hand and shouted, "Five taels of silver to buy!" ”

As soon as he heard that the owner was willing to bid, Ren Yazi immediately shouted happily: "Is there still a boss willing to bid?" This lady paid five taels of silver, which shows that this envoy is still very worthwhile! ”

It was clear that the purpose of saying was to raise the price, and someone immediately shouted: "I will pay seven taels of silver!" ”

Su Xiaoman slowly picked up the tea bowl and blew it, and Pearl shouted again: "Ten taels!" ”

Everyone sighed, the price of a small female envoy was not higher than that of ordinary people's dowries, and many people did not dare to increase the price, but the person who called the price in front shouted again: "Twelve taels!" ”

Su Xiaoman slowly raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he saw that a man was dressed very inconsistent with his own appearance, obviously a pretending businessman, only then did he know that it was a human tooth who deliberately raised the price.
