Chapter 30 Qingwan Selection
"Okay, you have also seen that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not needed by me here, if the rest of the people are like her, they should all step down."
Mu Qingwan's actions made Mrs. Mu a little different, her daughter didn't look crooked, right? Why is he so black-bellied now, but a child, he is always very naughty, Mrs. Mu shook her head, and looked at her daughter with loving eyes.
Among the people who stood in front of them, five of them retreated indignantly, Mu Qingwan swept it, very good, they are all in the past, there are beautiful women with a small jasper type, there are charming and amorous beauties, and there are ordinary looks but outstanding temperament...... It seems that the people who arranged these also put a lot of thought into it.
"Okay, go on, from left to right, and talk about your specialties in turn."
What was just posted made the bottom mind move his mind vividly and began to speculate about Mu Qingwan's preferences.
"The slave will be a female red, this slave and maid show off the handkerchief on weekdays, and please take a look at the young lady."
At first, it was a maid who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and after speaking, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, held it in front of her with both hands, and gave Mu Qingwan a look.
The embroidery is very exquisite, and it should have been practiced with hard work. It's just that Mu Qingwan skipped from her smooth, calloused hand, her eyes flashed, and she quietly gave Jixiang a look.
auspicious and willing, speaking instead of Mu Qingwan.
"Miss's clothes are all ordered directly from Linlang Pavilion, and the embroidery lady can't use it for the time being, so you can step back first."
The price of Linlang Pavilion is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it, but the quality is really good, and the craftsmanship of the maid is not enough in front of the master, so she can only retreat unwillingly.
The second person was about twenty years old, but his face was sallow, he looked to be in his thirties, his hair was coiled, he should be a married woman, and he was wearing the clothes of the coarse servants of the house.
"Miss, the slave maid will also be a female red, this is the handkerchief embroidered by the slave maid herself, for you to see."
The woman also presented a veil of inferior burlap with a pink moon flower on it. However, Mu Qingwan noticed that there was already a lifeless and desperate expression in the woman's eyes.
"Jixiang, let's go and have a look."
Mu Qingwan relented after all, and whispered to Jixiang.
Ji Xiang stepped forward to take the handkerchief in the woman's hand, this person's embroidery is indeed exquisite, and the moon flowers are lifelike. It's just that Miss's clothes are indeed sewn by Linlang Pavilion's special embroiderers, which is not a pretext, I'm afraid it will not be easy for the woman to stay. It's just that when Ji Xiang inadvertently turned the veil over, there was a surprised expression on his face.
Jixiang did not return the veil to the woman, but took it to Mu Qingwan to look at.
"Double-sided embroidery? Rare indeed. ”
Mu Qingwan nodded, the reverse side of the handkerchief was in the same position, and a lotus flower was embroidered, and there was a special embroidery room on the face of Linlang, which had a lot of skilled embroiderers excavated from all over the place, and many of them also had unique skills, but they didn't seem to have heard of double-sided embroidery.
Mu Qingwan is not very familiar with female celebrities, mainly because most of her time is spent learning medical skills, martial arts, and business...... Even so, it can be seen that the woman in front of her is indeed proficient in this way.
Mu Qingwan lowered her head and pondered, and finally spoke after a moment.
"Let's stay in Hanxiangyuan in the future."
The woman raised her head in disbelief and looked at Mu Qingwan with burning eyes, no longer the lifeless appearance she had before.
"Miss, slave."
Suddenly, the woman fell to her knees with a thud, wrestling with what to say.
"Say whatever you want, just say it."
"Miss, the slave's husband has broken his leg, and now he can only lie in bed every day, and the medical expenses are too expensive, and the family can't afford it. Husband and wife, the slave maid doesn't want to watch him go like this, so please ask the young lady to be merciful and save the slave husband's life. The slave and maid must be a cow and a horse in the future to repay the young lady. ”
The woman burst into tears, kept kowtowing to Mu Qingwan, her head hit the ground directly, and her forehead turned red in a few moments.
"The slave maid also has a son, who is eight years old and can work, and the slave maid is willing to let him sign a deed of sale and make cattle and horses for the young lady for the rest of his life."
The woman seemed to be desperate, and spoke with all her heart.
Mu Qingwan frowned slightly and looked at the woman. obviously has a craft, but he has fallen to this, and he has to ignore his son's future and sell his son, although it is understandable, but Mu Qingwan doesn't like it very much.
Mrs. Mu also looked at the woman, her eyes full of scrutiny. There are many poor people in the world, but is it just that the woman wants to take advantage of the kindness of her daughter? The mother's calf protection is deep, and for a while, Mrs. Mu's eyes are not good at looking at the woman.
"Did you do this with your son's future in mind? As far as I know, the people who signed the houses in the house are all death deeds. ”
Mu Qingwan spoke lightly, looking at the woman's expression.
"The slave knows, but it's his father after all."
The woman's face was already as dead as ashes, and her lips trembled.
"Where is your son now?"
Mu Qingwan took a deep breath and asked.
"Miss, the slave knows. The woman's son's name is Luo Zheng, and he is also working as a day worker in the house, and he is responsible for cleaning the stables. ”
The butler spoke before the woman.
Mu Qingwan suddenly wanted to see the woman's son, so she asked Jixiang to go to the stable to find someone.
"You wait a minute, and the person behind continues."
Mu Qingwan no longer paid attention to the woman, and let the person behind the woman continue to answer.
With the beginning of the woman, the people behind also wanted to play the bitter card, but unfortunately they were directly rejected by Mu Qingwan.
Mu Qingwan is not a saint, especially after some experience before, she can understand more and more that in such an era, people from different walks of life have their own difficulties. In her own position, she is just the daughter of an ordinary fourth-rank official, and she is not capable of saving so many unfortunate people. With the first time, there will be a second time, and a momentary kindness may bring you endless trouble.
The few people behind the woman were all denied, and they were not the people Mu Qingwan wanted to stay.
"Miss, someone brought it here."
Jixiang returned at this time, followed by a skinny boy in tattered clothes.
Ji Xiang approached Mu Qingwan and whispered in his ear.
"Subordinate, I have inquired, this woman has come to the house in the last six months, and she has always done rough work. The reason why her husband broke his leg was because of his excessive gambling habits, and he owed a lot of money to the casino outside, and was broken by the gangsters sent by the casino. ”
Mu Qingwan's eyes flashed, and she nodded to indicate that she understood.
"You're Luo Zheng?"
Mu Qingwan looked at the thin boy in front of her.
"The slave is Luo Zheng."
The boy bowed his head and fell to his knees.
"Do you know that your mother was going to sell you to me to treat your father, who had broken his leg?"
As soon as Mu Qingwan's words fell, he saw Luo Zheng raise his head incredulously, Luo Zheng turned his head to look at the woman, and his eyes were full of questions.
"Zheng'er, my mother has no choice, he is your father after all."
The woman couldn't cry, Luo Zheng's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists tightly and didn't speak.
"What do you think, but willing?"
Mu Qingwan asked Luo Zheng calmly.
"I, I do."
Luo Zheng finally threw down, and tears fell to the ground.
Hearing Luo Zheng's promise, although the woman was still sad, she seemed to be relieved.
"However, I don't want Miss to treat that person!"
Luo Zheng looked up at Mu Qingwan suddenly, like an angry puppy, with hatred in his eyes.
"Right? You. ”
The woman exclaimed.
