Chapter Sixty-Eight: Buying a Servant
She had already planned it. As soon as Lin Cai leaves, someone must be responsible for the operation of the store. So, it takes a person to make pastries and sell pastries. Let the clothes of the people be washed and mended. It is indispensable to sew and mend the mother-in-law. Guarding the house, cleaning the yard, chopping wood and lighting the fire are all hard work, and it requires a strong labor.
As for the scholar, needless to say, of course he was looking for Shangguanxi. Children with a little bit of conditions in the family have special scholars. Serving the grinding, being responsible for adding clothes and socks, and taking care of the master's body, these are all things that a scholar should do. Therefore, it is best to find a scholar who can read and hyphenate and know how to do kung fu, and can also protect the safety of the master.
Meng Yuxuan looked around, pointed to a delicate-looking girl, and said, "What's your name?" How old is it? What other relatives are at home? ”
The girl said nervously: "If Mrs. Hui speaks, my name is Xiu'er, and I am fifteen years old this year. Last year, robbers came down and killed many people in our village, and my father and sister were gone. My aunt is vicious and wants to sell me to the Qinglou so that I can exchange some money for my cousin to marry. Fortunately, my uncle was kind enough to let me out. When I had escaped, I sold myself and gave my uncle the money. Please ask the lady to buy Xiu'er. Xiu'er must listen to Madame, you can do whatever you ask me to do. ”
"You didn't think about escaping farther away, why did you think about selling yourself? Once you sign the deed of sale, you have no freedom, and life and death are not up to you. Meng Yuxuan said.
"Uncle has been kind to me. The robbers not only killed the people of our village, but also robbed us of our belongings. I sold myself to get my uncle through. That's all I can do, and I won't have anything to do with them in the future. Xiu'er said with tears in her eyes.
"It's a girl who values love and righteousness. It's a pity ......" Meng Yuxuan shook her head: "You are very kind, but you are not what I want." I'm sorry, I can't buy you. ”
"Madam......" Xiu'er was shocked and looked at Meng Yuxuan pleadingly.
Meng Yuxuan ignored her pleas and looked at the other young girls. Just as she was hesitating to choose whom, an old woman pulled a little girl out. The old woman knelt on the ground, and the little girl next to her knelt down. The old woman pleaded, "Madame, please buy me this little granddaughter!" This kid is diligent and obedient, and won't cause you trouble. ”
"She's your granddaughter? Granddaughter? Meng Yuxuan looked at the appearance of the two. Look...... Not like. ”
The old woman snorted twice and cried, "She is not my own granddaughter. We fled together. On the way to escape, the child's father handed her over to me. His father and mother were kind to me. Now that her father and mother are gone, I should take care of her. It's just that I don't have the ability to protect her. I just hope she can find a kind-hearted owner. ”
"Fleeing?" Meng Yuxuan looked at the tooth man next to her.
"They are refugees from other countries. Now there is civil strife in their country, people are displaced, and many of them have come to our country. ”
"Other countries......" Meng Yuxuan frowned.
"Madame, rest assured. All of them are on the record. Besides, since they voluntarily sold themselves into slavery, they will be slaves of our country in the future, and they will not be released by the owner, and they will not be able to go anywhere. The man with the tooth said, "If the lady thinks it is suitable, she will buy it, and if it is not suitable, forget it." Don't feel embarrassed. ”
Meng Yuxuan looked at the little girl who had been hanging her head.
"Why do you keep your head down? Keep your head up. Meng Yuxuan said.
The little girl's slender body stiffened, and she slowly raised her head.
As the little girl slowly raised her head, Meng Yuxuan's expression became more and more shocked. This person......
Wheeling.
When I met Hui Ling in my previous life, it was a few years later. At that time, she was already the top brand of the Qinglou. And this Hui Ling is the concubine of a rich man. It's just that the head of the family died, and the eldest lady couldn't tolerate her, so she sold her to the Qinglou. Before selling her, the eldest lady didn't want her to give birth to a son to fight for the family property, so she gave her abortion pills.
The eldest lady told the bustard to keep her to pick her up, and to torture her. The old bustard received the benefits of the eldest lady, and in the first year, Hui Ling's life was better than death.
This Hui Ling is also stubborn. No matter how much he was tortured, he just refused to give in. And then ......
She seduced the eldest lady's son, and made the boy and the eldest lady like enemies. Although the eldest lady was so angry that she vomited blood and died in the end, this Hui Ling did not end well. One year, I got flower willow disease and was kicked out by the bustard. At that time, Meng Yuxuan's position in the building had stabilized and she had several henchmen. With the help of her henchmen, she quietly placed this Hui Ling, and then found a doctor to treat her. Later, Hui Ling's illness was cured, and he left without leaving a word.
"Madam...... "Seeing that Meng Yuxuan had been staring at Hui Ling, Sheng Yaren thought he had fallen in love with this girl." This girl is good at kitchen work, but she is a good helper. ”
Meng Yuxuan looked at Hui Ling for a long time. Ignoring this woman's unfortunate life, she is actually very good. In her previous life, she lived in hatred all her life, so save her in this life! Is this considered a virtue accumulation?
"Tooth Man...... a middle-aged man walked in from outside. That minx is here again. What to do? ”
The man with the teeth frowned, and said angrily: "Is this girl finished?" I've told her a long time ago. She was ugly, she ate a lot, and no one bought her. ”
"What's going on?" Meng Yuxuan listened to the description of the person with Sheng Ya and felt that it was a little interesting.
"Madame doesn't know. There was a crazy girl who lived with her mother. Now that her mother is sick, she wants to sell herself to see her mother. But this girl is too ugly, she is born with great strength, and she eats a lot, and everyone who has seen her is scared away by her. I'm not a good church here, so of course I don't want to care about her anymore. But she comes to me every day to make trouble. ”
"Hear you say that...... I'd love to meet this strange girl. Meng Yuxuan said.
"Madam......" The kneeling old woman opposite looked at Meng Yuxuan pleadingly.
Meng Yuxuan said lightly: "What will you do?" ”
"Madame asked me? I can do laundry, cook, sew and mend. The old woman said tremblingly.
"Tooth man, I want both of them. You call the girl from outside in, and if it's appropriate, I'll ask for it. Meng Yuxuan said: "I know how to heal." She wanted to cure her mother's illness, which was nothing to me. It just so happens that I need a more powerful helper. ”
"Thank you, ma'am! Thank you, ma'am. The old woman took Hui Ling's hand and snorted a few heads at Meng Yuxuan.
"That's a good idea. It seems that this girl met the Bodhisattva today. The man with the teeth said happily, "You call that girl in." Let's just say that there is a lady here who knows how to heal. If she behaves well, Mrs. may take her in and help her mother heal. ”
"Okay, I'll call her in right away." The middle-aged man said happily: "The stinky girl really hit the shit luck." I didn't expect anyone to be willing to buy an ugly girl to go back. ”
Hui Ling is like an empty puppet doll. What the old woman said to her, she paid no attention to it at all. Hearing that Meng Yuxuan was willing to buy her, she didn't react at all.
Before the powerful girl came in, Meng Yuxuan had been secretly observing Hui Ling. Compared with her a few years later, she is as light as a chrysanthemum now, but she has just grown.
"Are you going to buy me?" A chubby girl walked in and stared at Meng Yuxuan with a pair of eyes.
Meng Yuxuan looked at the girl in front of her. She had a red birthmark on her face, which looked like a flame. She is fat and tall as well. Meng Yuxuan's figure is relatively tall among women, this girl is half a head taller than her, and she is as tall as an ordinary adult man.
"What will you do?" Meng Yuxuan smiled.
"My father is a dart master, and I know how to work with fists and feet." The girl said, "As long as you buy me, I will protect your safety." You're so pretty, it's dangerous to go out. With me, no one will dare to hurt you. ”
Meng Yuxuan looked at the girl with appreciative eyes. Not stupid! At least she knew what the other person needed, and not just messed around.
"What's your mother's illness? Have you seen it with a doctor? Meng Yuxuan continued to ask.
"My father was killed by the rogue when he was walking a dart a few years ago, and since then my mother has been busy. My mother's body is overworked and exhausted. The fat girl said gloomily.
"You look very filial. But if your mother knew that you had sold herself, would she be happy when she woke up? Meng Yuxuan shook her head.
"So this girl has a condition, she will only sell it for five years." Sheng Yaren said helplessly: "You said that she looks like this, it's good if someone buys it." She has only been selling for five years. Moreover, she asked for twenty taels of silver. Our most watery girl here can't sell it for twenty taels of silver. Do you think it's a lion's big mouth? ”
Meng Yuxuan smiled. The more she looked at this girl, the more she liked it. Filial, intelligent, and principled. The main thing is that a pair of eyes are very upright and not a troublemaker.
"Twenty-two, five years?" Meng Yuxuan gently looked at the nervous fat girl opposite.
"Yes. I'm called a fat girl. The fat girl said.
"I'm going to buy you, the name of the fat girl has to be changed. If we agree, we will sign the deed of sale, and if we don't agree, forget it. Meng Yuxuan smiled lightly.
"Names don't matter. Anyway, I don't think the name is good. Please give the name of the lady. The fat girl immediately knelt down and said.
Meng Yuxuan smiled lightly: "It's a smart girl." Your name is ...... Oriole! As for you......"
Meng Yuxuan pointed to Hui Ling opposite: "What's your name?" ”
"Wheeling." Wheeling finally spoke. "I don't change my name."
Meng Yuxuan originally wanted to change her name. After all, her life in her previous life was too unlucky. However, she is reluctant to change, presumably with her own insistence. Then forget it!
"That's fine! Lingying, you stand next to Hui Ling first. I'll just pick another scholar. "Originally, I wanted to choose a man to do rough work, but now that I have Lingying, I don't need to find a man to go back. After all, the people in the family are either children or women, and it is inconvenient to have a strong man inside, and it may be easy to provoke right and wrong. This spirit warbler came at the right time.
