Chapter 49: The Handmaiden

Zhu You'an's panicked and crying appearance aroused the interest of the fourth wife, leaning forward, her eyes shining brightly.

Ignoring the nails that had not yet been dyed, the fourth lady stood up, and for the first time in the face of Zhu You'an, she was so kind and pleasant, she helped her up with both hands, and took a handkerchief to gently wipe her face.

"Good boy, strange and pitiful, what scared you like this? Don't be afraid, you can talk to your mother about anything, and your mother will make decisions for you. ”

Zhu You'an choked up, only to feel that the fingers of the fourth lady falling on her face were as cold as a swimming snake, making her uncomfortable.

She raised her eyes and blinked her big eyes, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother, I really didn't see anything, just now, I was confused for a moment before I said it wrong." ”

The fourth lady felt impatient for a moment.

But in the blink of an eye, the fourth lady regained her gentleness and warmth: "Silly girl, we are two girls, do you need to be so cautious?" Don't be afraid, you can tell me anything. ”

"So, then I said it?"

"Say it, good."

Zhu Youan swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously and said, "I have been beaten very badly by Aunt Han these days, and it is not just because my wife told Aunt Han to teach me. Rather, but one day, I accidentally bumped into her on a tryst with a man. ”

"What did you say?" The fourth wife's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Zhu You'an's arms excitedly, "Do you have evidence!" You can't talk nonsense! ”

Zhu You'an said: "I, where do I dare to talk nonsense!" I really saw it. And I also heard from them that the authentic can't be used, and they made an appointment to go to the incense. ”

Incense?

The fourth wife and the grandmother on the side glanced at each other, and their hearts moved.

Aunt Han went to incense to ask the fourth wife. Because she said that she had been unwell recently and there was chaos at home, she wanted to go to the temple to offer incense and stay for two more days to pray for blessings.

The fourth lady originally thought that such a goblin, if he was not in the house, he would not worry about the master, and it would be better to go out, so she agreed.

Who knew she had a purpose?

The fourth lady asked, "Where did the Han family go to incense?" ”

Grandma said: "The slave faintly heard a few words, saying that she was going to Baomen Temple? ”

The fourth wife smiled and pinched Zhu You'an's chin, smiling, but the strength in her hand was not light.

"You'd better really hear it, you didn't deliberately lie about it to take revenge on Han, if you get it wrong, you know what the consequences will be."

Zhu You'an's heart jumped.

She's a little uncertain now, too.

She knew that Zhu Youning hated her and would not be so kind to her.

How could she believe Zhu Youning!

If there was no such thing, wouldn't the fourth lady hate her to death? Then she will have some good fruit to eat!

However, at this time, it was already ready to be sent.

Zhu You'an nodded with red eyes, "Mother, don't worry, how could I joke about this kind of thing, I really heard it." ”

"Okay." The fourth lady instructed energetically: "Prepare a car for me, bring a few more nursing homes, and a stronger mother-in-law, and follow me out." ”

"Yes!" Grandma was immediately excited.

The fourth wife left Zhu You'an, took her henchman and mother-in-law, and the group went out in a mighty way.

Zhu Youning, who was waiting in front of the Sifang Mansion, saw a team of carriages leaving the house and quickly heading towards the direction of Baomen Temple, so he smiled and went home.

When I arrived at home, there was a fat woman wearing a cotton bikina standing in the yard. The woman was surrounded by a dozen or so girls dressed in coarse cloth.

Mrs. Li followed Zhu Huating and asked the fat woman, "You girls have a clean background, right?" Our Zhu family is a big family, and we won't want those girls who have been abducted. ”

The fat woman smiled: "Where, we are a serious tooth deal, these girls are willing to sell themselves." ”

Zhu Huating saw Zhu Youning enter the door at this time, so he smiled and beckoned to her.

"Fu Ya'er, come here, you can choose a few people by yourself."

Zhu Youning walked over as he said.

In fact, she is still resistant to things like human trafficking.

But she also knows that the people in the place where she lives now are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and it is normal to buy and sell slaves and maids.

And she also felt that she really lacked a few walks around her.

Zhu Youning glanced in the direction of the group of girls.

The girls were eleven or twelve years old, and their clothes were shabby, but they were clean.

Seeing Zhu Youning looking over, a timid smile appeared on their faces.

Zhu Youning asked: "Which of you is good at cooking?" Who knows the words? What are your strengths? Let's talk to them one by one. ”

Then a little girl said, "Girl, I, I know a few words, but I don't recognize much." ”

"Girl, I can embroider and cook."

"I can also cook, I can also chop wood and do laundry, the girl will leave me."

……

Hearing these girls recommend themselves so much, Zhu Youning's heart became more and more uncomfortable. Still, she chose four of them.

In the future, she will have more and more things to do, she needs people to trust around her, and she can't always let her father do laundry and cook at home. With this condition, there is no need to continue to be so frugal.

After signing the paperwork of selling his body and getting the deed of sale of these four little girls, Ren Yazi happily took the rest of the girls to leave.

Zhu Youning asked the names of the four girls.

The one who can read and write is called Brother Zhao, the one who can embroider is called Sanwa, the honest and honest person who claims to be able to do any rough work is called Jin Niu, and there is a very beautiful and clever brother called Pandi.

Zhu Youning felt quite helpless when he heard it, and he was really disgusted by the patriarchal atmosphere.

"I'll change your name, would you?"

"Naturally, I listen to the girl." Pan brother's clever way.

Zhu Youning smiled and said to Brother Pan: "Your name is Bailing." ”

"Yes, thank you, girl!"

pointed to the other three, "Zhao Di is called Thrush, the third baby is called Mandarin Duck, and Jin Niu is called Nightingale." ”

The four little girls all liked it, and nodded with a smile.

However, because none of the four of them were taught, they neither knew the rules nor could speak official language, so they behaved a little dullly.

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "Miss Jiu, if you don't dislike it, why don't I teach a few little girls the rules, just like the ones in the house." ”

Since Mrs. Li was afraid, and Zhu Youning was reused, she was also respectful to their family.

Besides, there is no better candidate now.

Zhu Youning smiled and nodded, "Then there is Lao Li's mother." How many sisters, haven't you seen Mother Li yet? ”

Hearing Zhu Youning call her like this, the four little girls were all flattered, and they didn't even dare to say it, and then greeted Mrs. Li.

Zhu Youning pulled Zhu Huating, who had been smiling and watching, into the house and said, "Daddy, let's find a house and move recently." ”
