On that day, Chishui's mother got up early and baked a large bag of dough cakes for her, wrapped them in oiled paper, and then tied them with two changes of clothes, tied them with square cloth, handed them to her, and let her carry them on her back.

He took out a yellow amulet from his bosom, "This is the amulet that my mother begged for, it is very spiritual, you must bring it with you." As he spoke, he carefully packed it in a sachet bag, hung it around Chishui's neck, and tucked it into his collar.

After speaking, Chishui's mother's voice was already a little choked.

Chi Shui was also very reluctant in her heart, but she straightened her back straight, as if she was a little adult. She knew that she had to be strong at this time, and if she couldn't bear it, her mother would be even more uncomfortable.

Chishui turned to Chijin Chimu, who was also red-eyed and explained to the side of him: "Eldest sister, second sister, my mother will take care of you more." ”

In order to avoid being more sad, Chi Shui pulled her father out of the house quickly and walked towards Yuan Ya's house.

I didn't wait long when I arrived at Yuan Ya's house, and I saw a middle-aged woman walking in, Uncle Yuan and Aunt Yuan hurriedly greeted her, it seems that this should be what they said about Aunt Su.

Chi Shui looked carefully at the side, and saw that she was wearing a dark blue cardigan cotton coat and a hundred-pleated petticoat, walking steadily, the golden step on her head swaying with the pace, shining, and a few small beads scattered on her hair, with a kind smile on her face.

Su Yazi chatted with Uncle Yuan and Aunt Yuan Shui for a few words before moving his gaze to Chishui's father. Uncle Yuan hurriedly told the situation of Chishui's family, and pulled Chishui in front of Su Yazi.

Su Yazi looked at Chishui, and carefully asked Chishui about his age, and what he usually does, etc., Chishui answered them one by one, behaving well-behaved and honest. Su Yazi nodded, and then asked Yuan Ya the same question.

Su Yazi was very satisfied, bought Chishui and Yuan Ya with twenty taels of silver each, and made a contract on the spot.

Then, Chishui and Yuan Ya, following Su Yazi, walked out of the back mountain village and embarked on an unknown journey.

The next night, Su Yazi took Chishui and Yuan Ya to finally rush to Qingshan Township, brought them into a house, arranged accommodation for them, and left.

Chishui and Yuan Ya pushed open the door and looked inside, it turned out to be a Datong shop, and there were already more than ten girls inside, dressed almost the same as Chishui, and they all seemed to be poor peasant girls with the same disease.

Chishui and Yuan Ya found two adjacent bunks and settled down, washed hastily and fell asleep. After walking for two days in a row, a healthy person like Chishui couldn't hold on.

The two of them fell asleep deeply, woke up in the morning, most of their vitality had recovered, and after washing up and eating breakfast, more than a dozen little girls came to the front yard to gather.

Su Yazi counted the number of people, confirmed that it was correct, and put down the counted booklet. He looked at the little girls with a smile and said, "Girls, I wish you good luck." I just got the news last night, Jiangnan County Shou Qin's family recruited people, if you can enter Qin's family, it will be a great blessing. You hurry up and pack up and gather at the back door, and we will rush to Jiangnan County today. ”

When all the little girls heard this, they reacted differently, and they chattered for a while.

Chi Shui and Yuan Ya glanced at each other, showing a little helplessness and apprehension, and went to pack their bags and go to the back door. Originally, I heard that I was doing a ring in Qingshan Township, but I don't know why I want to go to Jiangnan County, and they don't know where Jiangnan County is, which is getting farther and farther away from home.

When I went out the back door, I saw a big carriage parked outside, a little shabby, and there were already a few little girls sitting on it. Chi Shui pulled Yuan Ya into the carriage. Go to the innermost corner and sit down, where there is a small edge that is not sealed by the planks, revealing a glimmer of scenery and a little fresh air outside.

The little girls came up one after another, huddled together, Su Yazi and a coachman sat in front of the carriage, and a sturdy young man on a brown horse ran behind, guarding the carriage.

The carriage began to move forward, and after Su Yazi and the others quieted down, they began to tell them some rules of large families, and taught them the etiquette when meeting their masters, such as bowing their heads, how to place their hands, and calling themselves slaves and maids, and other details, all the little girls listened carefully.

Five days later, their group finally arrived in Jiangnan County, Su Yazi found an ordinary inn, asked Chishui and the others to make up briefly and rushed to the back door of the county guard Qin's house, and the doorman led them in to wait in a courtyard.

Chi Shui quietly looked around, and found that in addition to their group, there were dozens of little girls in front of them, and it seemed that they were also here to apply, this Lord Qin's family is really rich! Chi Shui couldn't help but sigh.

After a while, a lady dressed in a flamboyant and wealthy dress came from the corner of the pavilion surrounded by slaves, and a housekeeper brought a carved wooden chair and put it in the center, and a middle-aged woman led the lady to sit down. All the servants felt themselves standing behind the lady.

After the middle-aged woman asked Madame, she stepped forward and glanced at everyone, her eyes were sharp, and all the girls unconsciously lowered their heads.

"Madame is merciful, a while ago, many girls were allowed to let people out, and now recruit new people, this is your great blessing, our county guard is a first-class family in this Jiangnan County, and the girl's money is the first class." The middle-aged woman said, handed each of the other three stewards a notebook, and said, "Now listen to my arrangement, and those who are literate will register with this steward." He pointed to one of the three stewards.

The steward went aside, and eight or nine of the girls followed. Chi Shui hesitated, those who can read and write, they will definitely be waiting close to the study and the master in the future, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the master, how can you be at ease for a moment. She was determined and didn't follow.

I also saw a middle-aged woman pointing to a steward and said, "Those who can do embroidery work will follow this steward." More than a dozen people followed, Chishui had no choice, she wouldn't be able to embroider.

"In the end, if you have a good cook, follow this steward." Chi Shui pulled Yuan Ya and walked towards the steward. Just kidding, it's all the end, and if you don't move, it will be whitewashed. Yuan Ya did a lot of work in the kitchen at home.

There were also a dozen little girls who moved with them. In the end, there were only a dozen girls left.

The steward asked Chishui and the others some questions one by one, and registered them one by one. Then let them line up.

Chi Shui saw that the office that could embroider only asked questions, but he was literate and tested some words for them and asked them to write them down.

After about a pillar of incense, all the stewards had been sorted out, and first the steward of the literacy group took the people to stand in front of the lady, and handed over the book to the handsome, there were six people, and three of them failed the examination. The lady swept them one by one, drew them in the book, and gave them back to the steward.

The same is true for the group that can embroider.

When it was Chishui's turn to be in their group, Yuan Ya was a little nervous, and Chishui cheered her up and let her do what Su Yazi said.

Chi Shui too, according to Su Yazi's instructions, lowered his head, followed everyone, and walked slowly to Madame, I don't know how Madame drew it, and after a while, he followed her down according to the order of the steward.

Then the three stewards began to take turns to roll call, and fortunately, Chi Shui and Yuan Ya were among them and were elected to the mansion.

Most of Chishui's group were selected, Su Yazi was very happy, said hello to them, and hurriedly followed the steward to sign a deed to receive the money.
