Chapter 43 Sits back and enjoys the success
Yiyi has a little appreciation for this tooth woman's "real philistine". Look at the time and discuss it with Ma Shi early: accept the thin little girl who knows some sencha at the age of eleven or twelve, and the seven or eight-year-old boy who looks a little older. Ma asked her to ask for the round-faced girl who could comb her hair again.
As for the most beautiful one, Ma didn't think it was bought for Yangye to collect the house, so what's the use of being so good-looking; Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are the talents of young ladies, what is the use of not eating and drinking on a maid? Anyway, she wouldn't have a bad heart to persuade Yiyi to buy it.
When Lin Xue got the words, he first called the round-faced girl to step forward, and then pointed to the thin little girl and asked her to come out, but the little girl turned her head and pulled the five or six-year-old boy to kneel.
"Brother kowtow to Mrs. and Miss, kowtow quickly!" I also really kowtowed.
"Hurry up!" Yiyi came down and pulled up the two children.
"The young lady slave wants to stay in the house and wait for you, but this is my own brother, and I have no other relatives here except him. Please let Miss leave my brother behind, I will work hard in the house and eat less. Our sister and brother can eat one person's meal, please take it in! ”
Liu Yapo hurriedly stepped forward and scolded, and stopped the two of them before saying: "These two are also a headache for the old body, they were originally from a tea house surnamed Guo fifty or sixty miles away from Mi Jingcheng. A few days ago, there was a fire in the old man's village of the Guo family, and the tribute tea was mistaken, and a large family was exiled to the bitter cold land in the north. They may not be able to see their parents again in this life. ”
Yiyi looked at Xiao Budian, the little boy's skin was slightly dark, and his big round eyes looked clever. At this time, the big round eyes were full of fear, like a puppy afraid of being abandoned, and Yiyi saw that his forehead was bruised and swollen and did not cry, so he said, "Then keep him!" Yiyi couldn't bear to see the separation of flesh and blood, let alone that he was so young.
The two little musicians almost jumped up, and Yiyi stopped them from kowtowing again, and the sisters and brothers bowed again and again, and also stood on the right hand.
Yiyi was about to go back to the hall when the most beautiful girl behind her knelt down. Yiyi turned around when she heard the voice, and saw her kneeling straight and said, "I also begged the young lady to see the list drawn up by the slave maid." ”
"The list of warm rain is good, and yours may be better!" Yiyi doesn't doubt her abilities.
"Then why doesn't the young lady look at the list drawn up by the maid?" She said stubbornly and unconvinced.
"All I need is a maid who knows a little bit of writing and ink and can keep some simple accounts." Yiyi doesn't blame her for being bold and out of line, but it is rare to easily have a group of loyal and well-managed subordinates in ancient times, and Yiyi is unwilling to make a thorn back to block herself.
"The needlework girl of the servant is not bad." Her back was slightly bent, and she was still very confident.
Yiyi stopped Lin Xue's words with a smile: "I'm quite satisfied with the needlework of the two of them." ”
"If Miss buys me, I will do everything well and do everything."
"There is only a shortage of kitchen chores in my yard now, and I really don't need any talents." Yiyizui has teased enough, and the person has been chosen, so she plans to settle the money with Liu Yapo.
"The maid is willing, begging the young lady to buy a slave." The girl leaned down without hesitation. With such a good look, if you leave this door, who knows where you will end up.
Yiyi stood where she was, feeling sorry for this girl.
A beautiful and talented girl with a high spirit, just because she is afraid of becoming a plaything discarded by men in the courtyard of the deep house, she is even eager to become a rough maid. "If you are really willing to be a rough maid, then stay! This time, the people have been chosen, and Granny Liu will see how much money she wants. Yiyi didn't want anyone to kneel at her feet and plead anymore.
Liu Yapo knew that according to the number of people mentioned by the eldest lady at the beginning, she only needed to bring six or seven people to show the main family, and now that the main family had selected six people, it was natural that she could not go on endlessly. Hurriedly sent the rest of the people to sit in the car outside, and their own stewards and coachmen watched.
Lin Xue and Liu Yapo went to make peace on the side.
The people here picked up, and Yiyi and Ma took Jasmine a few steps to the upper room to see He.
The maid at the door hurriedly reported inside: "The eldest lady and the second lady ask to see you!" ”
There was a crisp sound of tea bowls pouring inside, and then the sound of smoke waves was heard: "The old lady is not comfortable sleeping, please come back later with Mrs. and Miss!"
"It's better to spread the word, we have added a few people in Songyuan today, and we are talking about it in front of you." Yiyi simply scared them. After a pause inside, there was a sound of footsteps, and the smoke willow knocked the curtain and walked out, saluting and saying: "I heard the report from the porter before, and a tooth woman brought someone to send it to the pine garden." The old lady explained that it was the eldest lady who chose the people who could be used on errands, so that everyone was not allowed to disturb, and explained the contracts of sale of these people, and the eldest lady was in charge of the sale and retention. The old lady was sleeping soundly at this moment. The slave and maid really can't get the word on. ”
Yiyi estimates that this is almost the case, but he has to go through this formality, and the deed of sale of the people in his courtyard can be secured: "Then let the housekeeper of the inner courtyard go to Songyuan to recognize the person in a while." ”
After speaking, he returned to the front hall, and the accounts had already calculated a total of sixty-six taels of silver, and the two maids who were familiar with literature and ink had calculated a price.
The maid who looks thoughtful, whether the main family buys it to light the fire or hand the tea, Liu Yapo charges a price, and the most beautiful maid is hanging her head low at the moment.
Ma secretly laughed in his heart, and spent a lot of money to buy all kinds of outstanding maids to add to his blockage. This eldest niece is really too young and soft-eared, and she can't stand a few kind words and spends a lot of money. Although she does not instigate, she will not dissuade!
At this time, Xianglan brought the cook back and forth to say that the dish was done, and Liu Yapo entered with Yiyima.
Turn into the west verandah of the inner garden, and you can smell the fragrance.
The finished dish was presented to Li's fried crucian carp, the whole body of the fish skin was intact, and the soup was milky white; fried a green vegetable, the trees are fresh and green; steamed a basket of steamed buns, looking soft; Fried a bowl of meatballs.
Nie fried a bowl of tofu, golden in color; stir-fried bamboo shoots and stir-fried meat; Steamed jade crystal shrimp dumplings, the skin color is clear, and the filling is white and light red, and the filling is dotted with a little emerald green; The fried pine nut lily crisp, the golden dim sum skin is like a blooming lily, blooming layer by layer, and the pine nut and jujube paste filling overflows with sweet and sweet fragrance.
If it is convenient to come up with enough money, Yiyi wants to keep the two of them together.
After Yiyi and Ma tasted the dishes, they settled on Li's. When settling the money, Yi Yiduo gave two pieces of money: "Granny Liu, I can only keep these people here at present, but meeting is fate." These two sums of money are counted as rations for those few people, please bother to show them a good place to go, don't rush to send them away. ”
Liu Yapo was a little surprised: "The eldest lady is kind-hearted, she is really a living Bodhisattva-like heart, and the old body naturally does it, here I thank you for those poor people!" Thank you for your kindness, the girl will have a happy life in the future......" Liu Yapo, Li, and Nie all bowed. Yiyi hurriedly stopped: "If you don't sell them casually, you'll be right for my two taels of silver." Although she can't help the world, Yiyi is willing to keep the greatest kindness to people, and this money may improve their lives.
Nie glanced at Li with envy.
Liu Yapo took a sip of herself: "My mother-in-law Liu is a weak person, but since I got the girl's rice and silver, I always give them a few lucky ones, and find a good place to go, I want to deliberately be greedy for this money, I am not a person." ”
A room full of people laughed, and Ma snorted: "I took my niece's money to do your good, if things are not done well, don't let me see you again in the future." ”
Liu Yapo collected the money and put the deed of sale of several people into Lin Yiyi's name, and ordered several people to re-mark their handprints on the new contract, and then brought it to the Yamen to settle the case. Liu Yapo will complete the formalities by herself, and the new contract can be sent in the afternoon, and the service is quite thoughtful, and after everything is settled, she will take Nie Shi and thank you and go out.
Yiyi sent Ma back to Zhuyuan, and officially invited the second room to rest for 20 days to come over for dinner. Yiyi can be regarded as having the personnel in place, and since then he has lived a good life with clothes to stretch his hands and food to open his mouth.
