This year, Mei Qingyao is full of calculations, and she is about to celebrate her twelfth birthday. As early as when he was ten years old, Qiao Huaping spent a lot of money to buy a pony and gave it to Mei Qingyao as a ten-year-old gift, officially teaching Mei Qingyao to ride a horse.

Qiao Huaping also entrusted Sun Shike to find a martial arts master for the children at home, get up in the morning to practice for an hour, and practice for another hour after school.

At first, Qiao Huaping didn't plan to let a few children learn anything, but simply wanted a few children to have a little self-defense skills and strengthen their physical fitness or something.

But she didn't expect that the eldest son Mei Qingyao was really talented in this martial arts, no, after only two years of teaching, Master Wu resigned ashamedly, saying that there was nothing left to teach the eldest son.

This is not a big problem, Qiao Huaping later asked Sun Shike to find one.

It's just over half a year ago, and the new martial master resigned for similar reasons.

Qiao Painting: "......"

Right now, this is the third martial master.

Fortunately, this third martial artist is a man who understands the art of war, and in addition to teaching a few children to practice martial arts on weekdays, he also tells some stories in the army and teaches some children some art of war.

Qiao Huaping was very satisfied with it, and raised the monthly money to ten taels of silver.

Master Wu was deeply grateful and taught more attentively.

Qiao Huaping thought, this third martial arts master, if he could teach for a longer time, it would be even better.

"Madame! We're back! ”

The carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and two little girls dressed in plain clothes jumped out of the carriage, full of smiles, holding something in their arms, looking very happy.

This is Qiao Huaping's visit to the county once, and he saw someone selling a pair of sisters, and I heard that the head of the family had died and lived with his uncle and aunt.

The two of them had not been fed and clothed for a long time, and soon fell ill together, and they looked like they were sick to death.

The uncle and aunt were afraid that the two of them would be bad luck if they died at home, so they pushed the two people to the county seat with a cart, and inserted grass labels to sell them cheaply.

Qiao Huaping knew at a glance that this pair of sisters was actually a typical malnutrition, and they died of illness very early.

It was probably because Qiao Huaping had been there for a long time, and the eldest of the sisters mustered up the courage to ask Qiao Huaping to buy them. They can do anything—

Qiao Huaping thought about it for a while, and really paid for these two maids.

When the greedy couple stared at the silver taels between Qiao Huaping's fingers, Qiao Huaping only shook his fingers and said very coldly: "I bought a maid, it's better for you to fill in the deed." ”

After a pause, Qiao Huaping emphasized, "Death contract." ”

If it weren't for the death deed, Qiao Huaping believed that the couple would be able to sell the sisters again when the deed expired.

Sure enough, seeing that Qiao Huaping intended to buy it, even if it was a death deed, the couple did not hesitate to fill in their names on the deed of sale.

In the end, Qiao Huaping bought the sick sisters back at a price of ten taels, and after a good recuperation, the sisters recovered their health, lively and cute.

When Qiao Huaping brought them back, she made it clear that she was not a philanthropist, she bought them back to work, and each person had a monthly salary of 800 yuan, and when she had saved enough silver, she could redeem the deed from her hand and leave.

At first, the sisters were full of energy, wanting to save the money for the ransom.

But the life of the Qiao family is really comfortable, and there is not a lot of work every day, whether it is Mrs. or Miss Young Master, the main family is a very good person, and they get along tightly.

Not only did they receive as much monthly money as the big maids of the rich and noble families in the county, but they also let them rest for two days every month, which is simply a bodhisattva in the world.

The two little girls had already made up their minds and had been working in Qiao's house.

Today is the day for the two of them to rest. They wanted to go to the county to buy some things for the girl's family, so Qiao Huaping asked Lao Zhao, who was in charge of driving the car, to set up a carriage to send the sisters to the county.

Lao Zhao is also a servant bought by Qiao Huaping to drive cars, and is responsible for driving cars, raising horses, and acting as a porter by the way.

"Madame, look at this, do you like it?"

The two little girls diligently held a silk flower with a very unique style and presented it to Qiao Huaping.

The older one is called Lamei, and the younger one is called Yingchun, both of them are the same lively, "Such a beautiful silk flower should match the beauty of Mrs. As soon as we saw it, we felt that it was very suitable for Madame, and we bought it for Madame. ”

Qiao Huaping took a closer look: "It's really good-looking." She smiled, "Thank you." ”

The two of them were very happy: "Then let's give this silk flower to Mrs. to the dresser, and wear it when Mrs. goes out?" ”

Qiao Huaping smiled and bowed his head.

Lamei went to put the silk flowers.

Yingchun couldn't wait to take out a beautiful hair rope and shook it in front of Mei Qingying's eyes: "Miss, do you like this?" ”
