Chapter 112: Eyes Open
The beautiful girl had to sit up, "Tell me, what's the situation?" ”
And the crying girl spoke.
Like they live on the first floor, they have ordinary qualifications. And she doesn't have any special skills, and the needlework for cooking rice is mediocre. The most troublesome thing is that there is a red birthmark the size of a copper coin on her forehead, and even if she covers it with her hair, many people still don't like it and don't want to buy her.
People sell people's teeth, and they all go with the market.
This girl has been in the Ningcui Pavilion for almost four months, and she has seen three buyers, each worse than the other, but she has not been selected yet.
If this happens again, she is likely to be sold into a ravine in the future, to be a co-wife to a few men, or to be sold to a farm salt mine as a coolie, so that she is so anxious that she cries.
Such a girl who has no special skills and even has major defects is really not easy to sell.
A group of girls staring at the beautiful girl is both a temptation and a provocation.
Even if the beautiful girl wants to turn some stones into gold, it will be too late to work this night.
So I changed my thinking, "Then you have younger siblings, do you know how to watch children?" ”
The girl stroked the corners of her forehead and said weakly and sadly, "Because of me, my face is ugly." My father and mother didn't allow me to touch my younger siblings when I was young, for fear of giving them bad luck...... So when I was young, I grew up with my grandpa and grandma. Later, grandpa and grandma were gone, and I was sold. If only they were still ......"
The beautiful lady didn't want to listen to those sadness, so she asked directly, "Then you will definitely serve the old man, right?" ”
The girl was in good spirits, "When I was three years old, I showed them the medicine stove to boil the medicine, and I washed their feet every day, and I cut their toenails." Later, they were so sick that they couldn't move, and I was also serving them when they and pee. I didn't let them get sores in the summer, and the doctors praised me for my ability. ”
Mei Niang said, "That's enough." When you go to see someone tomorrow, you will say that you will serve the old man and tell him about these things. Besides, although he is ugly and stupid, he must be willing to work hard and learn well. Ask the master to be kind-hearted and reward you with a mouthful of food, and you will treat them as grandpa and grandma, and be filial piety for the rest of your life! ”
The girls were skeptical, is it okay to say that?
If the master is young and strong, how would he be served as an old man and an old lady?
But the girl could only treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and it took half the night to memorize the words of the beautiful girl.
When I went to see my employer the next day, it was a one-time pass!
bought it for a good family, and the owner who bought her praised her for her "loyalty and filial piety", so that her family should not be harsh.
When the news came back, the whole small building was a sensation.
The girls have surrounded the beautiful girl to show their goodwill, and in the future, it doesn't matter if it's chopping wood, or washing feet and water, it's good to let them come, I just hope that the beautiful girl can also give them a few words.
Aunt Liu was also stunned.
It's a big problem that can't be sold, so he actually gave a few words to the beauty girl and sold it?
The mother-in-law who took it out to sell people was also very excited.
“…… Originally, I was going to sell that girl to the last one, doing rough work in the mill. Unexpectedly, when she went to the first house, the girl boldly replied a few words. When the master heard this, he bought her.
I thought about it carefully, and it made a lot of sense.
No matter how capable he is, there will always be an old day. Leave a filial piety by your side, and you won't lose anything.
And the girl has a birthmark on her face, which usually seems to be a shortcoming. But she is also such a girl, not afraid of having crooked eyes, and she is more loyal. Grasp this, but sell it. ”
Now the truth is broken, and everyone understands it.
But what is rare is that the first person to pierce the window paper.
It is really a skill to be able to grasp the essentials in a very short time and turn a disadvantage into an advantage.
Aunt Liu pondered for a long time, and opened her mouth stupidly, "Go and bring that girl." ”
She wanted to hone her temperament again, but this girl was able to bend and stretch, and she didn't mind at all.
If she lets it go any further, she will have to subdue the girls in the whole building, and they will all be used by her!
It is better to recruit such a scourge to your side as soon as possible.
Even if there is a suspicion that you have to bow your head first, you can't take care of it.
So the beautiful lady met the owner of the museum the next day, in the evening when she was supposed to continue chopping wood and washing her feet.
Compared with her calmness, the little maid who brought her was a trembling quail.
The positions of the two seem to be upside down.
Aunt Liu looked angry, "What do you look like?" Did all the things that taught you fill the dog's belly? ”
The little girl trembled more and more, "No, it's not ......"
"It was when she brought me here that the girls in the building threatened her. If you can't bring me back properly, everyone will go on strike from tomorrow. ”
The beautiful girl spread her hands and said that she was also helpless.
She is obviously working hard to be "ruthless", why do these girls treat her as a weak little flower?
Aunt Liu smiled angrily, "Then you are really capable." ”
The beautiful girl was very modest, "A little bit." ”
Aunt Liu's nose was almost crooked, "Since you are so capable, why don't you enter the official brothel and be an Oiran lady?" ”
The beautiful lady raised her eyes suddenly, "So this is the eldest mother's plan for me?" ”
Aunt Liu was slightly shocked, and she unconsciously told the truth.
It turns out that this girl has been deliberately provoking her!
can be said to say, what can a beautiful girl be a teenage girl?
"Now that you have sold yourself, it is up to us to decide. Moreover, you are no more than ordinary people, but you sold yourself to atone for your father's crimes. According to the law of the imperial court, unless it is a year of amnesty, even if someone takes money to redeem your body, you will not be able to cancel your slavery. ”
Originally, the beautiful girl was also a little surprised.
But listening to her words, my heart was a little more stable.
"Auntie doesn't have to scare me with the law, my father is just a classless and unranked official in the yamen, and he is not an official, so I am still far from the family of the offender.
Although I am selling myself to pay off my debts, my aunt has the right to decide where to sell me. But ordinary civilians, if they don't say it in advance, can't force good people to become prostitutes. Especially if you are still officials, if you are really investigated, I am afraid that it will be you who will be punished. ”
Looking at Aunt Liu's flickering eyes, the beautiful girl showed her snow-white teeth and smiled slyly.
"Auntie really wants to be so stable, do you still need to work so me?"
Aunt Liu, who has always been able to speak well and is known as the willow tangled tree, was speechless.
But in the end, it was a person who had been rolling in the wind and dust for half his life, and he quickly calmed down, "You come with me." ”
instructed someone to prepare a green oil carriage, and she took the beautiful girl to the street.
The sky is getting dark, and the lights in the south of the city are brighter.
Walking through Yaqiao Street, where the beautiful lady had been, the ridiculously expensive Sanyuan Building, Aunt Liu took her through a Qinlou Chu Pavilion with pink lanterns and red sleeves on the building, and went to the dock.
There, a three-story painting boat was parked, ready to set sail.
Aunt Liu took the beautiful girl on the boat, and the moment she walked into the painting boat, it was like walking into a splendid and incomparably luxurious palace!
Looking at the little girl's shocked eyes, Aunt Liu finally felt that she had found some ground.
"This Tianxiang Pavilion is the official hall of Wucheng. It can also be said that it is one of the best official halls of the Great Yan Dynasty. Do you think that the people here must be very lowly? Look. ”
