Chapter 218: Follow-up (3)
The two sons waited for the silver to save their lives, and although Mrs. Jiang thought the price was lower, she had to respond: "Sell, sell, sell!" Of course it is sold! Now is the deed! ”
Ya Pozi was accustomed to making a living from such buyers, so she carried a pen and paper with her and wrote a contract on the spot. There is a conspicuous mark on it, people and goods are clear, and there is nothing to do with it!
The contract was in triplicate, one was left in the Jiang family, and the other was left in the hands of the Ya Pozi. The last copy must be handed over to the yamen in charge of the registered population. so as not to be involved in the future.
The formalities were in order, and it was already evening.
Mrs. Jiang got a heavy eighty taels of silver, and finally smiled. With this money, he was able to fix the cell and ask the doctor to treat the injuries of his two sons.
Jiang Ningxue had a fever, a dizzy head, her legs were weak, she hadn't eaten for a day, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up.
No matter how hard her heart is, she also feels that Jiang Ningxue is too pitiful, so she opened her mouth and said: "Get a bowl of hot soup, let her drink it, and she has some strength to walk." ”
Mrs. Jiang was not happy: "It's all sold, it's no longer our Jiang family's people, what kind of hot soup is it." Hurry up and lead her away! ”
Ya Pozi was so angry that she rolled her eyes, pulled Jiang Ningxue and left.
Jiang Ningxue stumbled a few steps and almost fell.
When she walked out of Jiang's door, Jiang Ningxue turned around with all her might.
Old Mrs. Jiang touched the silver in her hand with joy, and didn't even look at her. That greedy and contemptible smile pierced Jiang Ningxue's heartache, and tears welled up again.
Ya Pozi's voice sounded in his ears: "What's the use of crying! This is your life, you have to admit it! From now on, they are no longer your relatives, so don't worry about them anymore. ”
"Don't worry, I've got a good buyer for you. I'll send you over tonight, and when I see my master, you have to be honest......"
Is she really going to be sold into a kiln?
Jiang Ningxue's whole body was like freezing, and there was no trace of warmth. After walking a short distance, he closed his eyes and fainted completely.
……
I don't know how long it took.
Jiang Ningxue finally came to her senses and struggled to open her eyes. His eyes were blank, and after a while, he slowly gained focus.
A delicate girl dressed in a cyan dress appeared in front of her, and her attitude was quite gentle: "You finally woke up!" ”
Jiang Ningxue moved her lips, and her voice was dry and weak: "Where is this?" ”
"This is Xie Mansion," the little maid said with a smile, "My name is Congyu." You're really lucky, the young lady has already bought you as a maid. ”
Jiang Ningxue's reaction was a little sluggish: "Maid? This is not a kiln? ”
Congyu's face immediately sank: "Don't talk nonsense!" This is Xie Fu, and you will be the maid of the third lady in the future. ”
"You have some skin injuries all over your body, and I have washed and drugged you and changed into clean clothes for you when you were unconscious."
"There are hot porridge and steamed buns here, you eat your fill first, and then follow me to see Miss."
Jiang Ningxue couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, she was very hungry at this time, smelled the aroma of white porridge and steamed buns, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Struggling to get out of bed.
Congyu couldn't stand it, so he reached out and helped her.
Jiang Ningxue ate three steamed buns and three bowls of hot porridge in a row. I wanted to eat the fourth one, but was stopped by Congyu: "Don't eat it." Eat slowly later. ”
Jiang Ningxue retracted her hand in a daze. The stomach is full, and the body has strength, at least the strength to stand up: "Shall I go to see the master now?" ”
In any case, it is much better to be sold as a maid than to be sold in a kiln.
Being able to eat a full stomach and not be scolded or beaten is much better than staying in the Jiang family.
I just don't know, what kind of place is this Xie Mansion? Who is the third lady from the mouth of the jade? Why did you buy her today so coincidentally?
From the jade, Jiang Ningxue's face was full of doubts, but she didn't explain: "I'll lead you to see Miss." ”
……
Jiang Ningxue silently followed behind Congyu.
The wounds on his body are still painful, and the wounds are even more painful when he walks. Fortunately, Congyu was quite considerate and deliberately slowed down, Jiang Ningxue endured the pain and reluctantly followed.
It was dark, but there were wind lanterns hanging everywhere. Jiang Ningxue didn't dare to look around, but she also noticed that Xie Mansion was a rich and noble place.
Congyu stood still outside the study and knocked lightly on the door.
A pleasant girl's voice sounded, "Come in." ”
From the jade answered, pushed the door in. Jiang Ningxue stood outside the door in a daze, not daring to move. Congyu had to turn his head and say, "You come in too, Miss wants to see you." ”
Jiang Ningxue lowered her head and stepped into the spacious and bright study.
She didn't dare to look up, only to notice two eyes falling on her. A heart fluttered and beat so fast that it almost jumped out of its chest.
After a while, the third lady opened her mouth lightly: "Raise your head." ”
Jiang Ningxue was nervous and scared, and raised her head stiffly.
A beautiful and beautiful girl's face came into view.
This third lady is younger than she imagined, and her appearance is extremely beautiful...... Wait, why does this third lady look a little familiar?
Jiang Ningxue had a good memory, and soon remembered where she had seen this face, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You are a student of Lotus Pond Academy?" ”
Moreover, she is also a student of her mother's mother, Master Yang!
More than two months ago, Mrs. Jiang went to make a fuss outside the Lotus Pond Academy, and this girl had shown up. More than half a month ago, this young girl was also among the onlookers.
……
In an instant, Jiang Ningxue was like a blessing to her heart, and blurted out: "Did my mother ask you to buy me?" Where's my mother? Where is she? ”
Xie Mingxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "If I buy you, I will be your master." In the future, you will be a maid of the Xie family, and you will have nothing to do with the Jiang family. ”
"As for Master Yang, if she wants to buy you back, she will have to spend money."
"I bought you for a hundred and twenty taels of silver. Wait until Master Yang has saved enough money. ”
Jiang Ningxue: "......"
Jiang Ningxue's mind was in turmoil, and her first reaction was: "I only sold eighty taels of silver, why is it one hundred and twenty taels now?" ”
That's a stupid question!
Congyu secretly rolled her eyes, and couldn't help but interject: "Ya Pozi bought you for eighty taels, and then resold it to Miss, how can you not make money in the middle?" ”
The fact is that Xie Mingxi had already promised Ya Pozi to buy Jiang Ningxue at a high price. Otherwise, how could Ya Pozi be willing to buy Jiang Ningxue at a high price?
At this time, a watery girl can buy it for only forty or fifty taels of silver. Mrs. Jiang inquired and knew the "market", so she couldn't wait to sell Jiang Ningxue at a high price of eighty taels of silver, lest the tooth wife regret it.
Jiang Ningxue stood stunned.
The ruthless face of the Jiang family flashed in his mind, and the loving and tearful eyes of his mother flashed in his mind.
One hundred and twenty taels! If you don't eat or drink, you have to save for a year!
She broke her mother's heart, is her mother still willing to buy her back?
