Chapter 206: Agree to buy
"Okay!" Wang Xiaocao nodded, although she was young, she also knew that this matter was not easy to do, she listened to what the people in the village said, and said that Sister Jing had good luck and would enjoy happiness in the future. But is this really a blessing? She didn't believe it! How old is Sister Jing, if that person really loves her, shouldn't she wait for her to grow up and marry her in a sedan chair? Just like the little ladies she has seen who are about to get married, their faces are shy like a monkey's ass, and their mouths are painted like eating children, is it red and glamorous? It's like Sister Jing's face turned white with fright, and she was still crying.
However, she also knew that Yunxi was a child like her, with limited abilities, and most adults would not listen to children, so she didn't ask her to help, but just like Yunxi said, she just tried her best.
"Xiaocao, it's time for us to go home." As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Xiaohua reminded her cousin that it was time to go.
"Otherwise, don't go back, it's hard to come here." Yunxi said. "The food cooked by Yuanyuan Niang is delicious."
After listening to Yunxi's words, Wang Xiaocao was a little moved, the dishes made by Aunt Zhang are really delicious, and there is a happy event in the village on weekdays. Most of them asked Aunt Zhang for help. Not only is her meat and vegetables delicious, but even the fried white siad is better than her mother's fried ones!
Wang Xiaohua pulled her sister's sleeve and said with a smile: "No, no, no, when we came out, the family was already ready to cook, and we will go back in time." ”
"Then we'll go back, Sister Brook." Wang Xiaocao drooped his head and said in frustration, "I'll come back to play with you again." ”
"Okay, come back early, I'll prepare a snack." Yunxi, who was upgraded from Second Sister Ye to Sister Xi, touched the little girl's head, this is the performance that a seven-year-old child should have, and her sad appearance just now is really not suitable for children.
"Then shall we take back a few of their jasmine flowers?" Wang Xiaohua asked.
The little girl is quite thoughtful, and her speech and demeanor are also steady, like a sister. Yunxi couldn't help but smile, "Okay, but you can't hold it, so let's do it, Yuanyuan, you find a basket or something to put two for them." ”
After loading the flowers, Yunxi and Yuanyuan sent their sisters to the gate, and before they could say goodbye, they saw Zhang Sanniang's mother and daughter, who were crossing the stone bridge to this side.
Wang Xiaocao said: "It's Sister Jing who is here, she must be looking for the owner to call the shots for her, sister, let's take a look and go back!" ”
"No, Sister Jing will be embarrassed." Wang Xiaohua said, "Let's go back and wait for news, sooner or later we will know." ”
This is a good thing, Yunxi couldn't help but glance at Wang Xiaohua a few more times, you must know that there is no shortage of people who eat melons, it is rare to have someone who doesn't like to watch the excitement, she is still a little girl, it is really surprising, I only knew that she was not a talkative person in the past, but I didn't expect her to be quite good.
"Goodbye Sister Naxi, goodbye Sister Yuanyuan." Wang Xiaocao is also a good one, and said goodbye to Yunxi very obediently and went home.
Now that he saw it, Yunxi didn't rush back, just waiting for Zhang Sanniang's mother and daughter to come over at the door.
"Second sister, I don't know if your mother is free? I'm looking for her for something. Zhang Sanniang greeted Yunxi and asked about the Lin family.
"Come with me!" Yunxi didn't say much, so as not to embarrass them, just this Fourth Sister Li had already lowered her head and blushed, and if she asked more, Yunxi was really afraid that she would cry immediately.
It's about to eat, the Lin family naturally has nothing to do, Ye Yuan just happened to be there, and the two were teasing Yun Cong. After listening to Yunxi's report, Ye Yuan pondered for a moment and said to Yunxi, "Let them come in!" Although he may not be able to manage this matter, he can't not say it at all, if Zhang Sanniang asks for it, he has to talk about Li Dalang, as for Second Brother Li, it is better for Zhang Sanniang to teach it himself.
"Please Dongjiaan, Dongjia's lady An." As soon as Zhang Sanniang entered the door, she pulled her daughter and knelt on the ground, "I beg the owner to save my mother and daughter's life!" ”
"What are you doing here, get up, get up." Lin hurriedly stood up and helped Zhang Sanniang's mother and son up, Chunlan and Yuanyuan moved over the bench in a timely manner, and asked Zhang Sanniang's mother and son to do it. "What do you have to say, how dare you be such a big gift."
Nowadays, when it was popular to kneel around in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and when it was still important to "kneel to the sky and kneel to the parents", Zhang Sanniang suddenly made such a big gift really startled a few people present.
"The owner, the lady of the owner, I guess you have also heard about my sister Jing." Zhang Sanniang got straight to the point, "Jing'er is young, how can I be reluctant, I thought that as long as I didn't agree, I just wanted to bite to death and disagree, but the rebel son and his uncle in the family actually wanted to push Jing'er into the fire pit, I am a woman, I really can't help it." So please have mercy on my mother and daughter, and don't let us separate our flesh and blood. ”
"This matter ......" Lin was a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to care about this matter or not. If you put it aside, the tenant is actually the private property of the family, and the owner has the final say in whether he wants to sell it, and it is the same as the servant. But now, with the new policies of the new imperial court, the tenants have a lot of personal freedom, and the owner has the right to decide whether the men go or stay, and they can't buy and sell their own privately, but women are not among them, so Li Sijie can be bought and sold by her family.
The reason why Yunxi didn't dare to pack tickets was because of this reason, because of the special status of the new official family, it won certain rights for the tenants of this era, but the landlord class was huge, and the new official family only won the freedom of women, and the men's stay still had to be approved by the main household. In fact, in Yunxi's opinion, this freedom is not very useful except for the fact that there are a few more candidates for marriage, but it is better than nothing.
Ye Yuan was also embarrassed, "I can also go and talk about it, but I'm not sure it won't work." "After all, a hundred taels of silver are placed there, and when you go to buy a few acres of land, and then apply to the government, it is really difficult for you to hold on, so whether it can play a deterrent role is really a question.
Zhang Sanniang smiled sadly, "I also know that this matter is not easy to do, so I don't ask the owner to persuade them, I only ask the owner and the lady of the owner to take in our mother and son." ”
"What do you mean?" Lin hesitated, "Come to the Ye family to be a subordinate and take the fourth sister with you?" ”
"Yes, ask the proprietor to buy us." Zhang Sanniang once again pulled Fourth Sister Li to kneel. "I'm kowtowing to you."
"Don't, get up, get up."
After another hectic fight, he finally pressed Zhang Sanniang's mother and son back on the stool.
"Husband, look?" Lin looked at Ye Yuan, she was a little moved, Zhang Sanniang didn't want her daughter to be a child, so she couldn't be a maid for Yunjin, but it was not bad for Yunxi, the fourth sister of the Li family was the most outstanding girl among the tenants. Capable and sensible, also poetry and books, and long-looking and beautiful, there is such a maid, which has all the face.
Ye Yuan didn't rush to decide, he thought a little more. "Does your brother know? Agreed? ”
"Yes, disagree." Zhang Sanniang didn't hide it, "But although I can't be his home, I can be my own home and Jing'er's home, so please be careful, he doesn't dare to make trouble with that kid." ”
"That's it," Ye Yuan was a little hesitant, he wasn't afraid of Second Brother Li's trouble, he wasn't afraid of him as a child, didn't he still involve a rich man? Don't accidentally cause trouble for yourself.
"Dad, you agree." Seeing that Ye Yuan was a little hesitant, Yunxi hurriedly walked over quietly and said in a low voice, "No matter how bad it is, aren't there still two gentlemen?" I'm still afraid that it won't work. ”
"Do you like this Fourth Sister Li?" Ye Yuan also asked quietly, seeing Yunxi nodded. said to Zhang Sanniang's mother and son, "Then you can stay, Zhang Sanniang, you are still doing the work you are doing, and the fourth sister will follow Yunxi." ”
