Chapter 1325: Selling Yourself
After Sun Yuanyuan's return, the life of the people in the village was much better, and those who worked in the Sun family like Zhuzi were rewarded.
In particular, Zhuzi has always been cautious in his work, but this time he was misunderstood by Zhang Laothief, and there were a lot of scandals, and Sun Changchang gave compensation, and the biggest compensation was to cover the medicine money of Zhuziniang for the next year.
Although Jiang Jiuniang has changed the prescriptions, they are all cheap medicinal materials, but there are still a lot of expenses throughout the year, which is really a great help for the Zhuzi family.
And after the last time the whole family quarreled, the pillar father never mentioned the matter of selling his daughter, and a few times the pillar mother said that she would start saving a dowry for her daughter, and the pillar father didn't say anything.
After everything stabilized, the Zhuzi sisters and brothers found Jiang Jiuniang, and as soon as they met, they gave Jiang Jiuniang a big gift, kowtowed and said, "Madam, Sister and I are here to thank you, you saved our family!" ”
Jiang Jiuniang led the two into the door and asked the dog to get a snack to entertain, but the sister and brother didn't dare to eat, but just stood in a proper manner.
"Sit down, don't be polite to me."
Jiang Jiuniang looked at the two sisters and brothers, especially the obvious smile on Mingzhu's face, and was in a very good mood.
The siblings sat down and put some of the seafood they had brought alongside.
"Madam, as I said before, please help me, I am willing to sell myself as a slave, and I am fulfilling my promise today."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, and Jiang Jiuniang glanced at it, it was a deed.
"Are you really willing to sell yourself into slavery?"
Jiang Jiuniang looked at him with interest, thinking that this kid was very interesting, if he didn't say it, she would forget that he had said this.
"You know, my family is a foreigner, I only came here to live for a few months, and then I will definitely leave, if you sell yourself into slavery, you can only leave with us, it is possible that you will never see your parents and relatives in this life, are you really willing?"
Jiang Jiuniang looked at him with a very serious expression.
I thought that the pillar would think about it for a long time, but I didn't expect this kid to nod his head directly, and said with an old-fashioned face: "Yes, I made it clear to my father and mother last night, I said it, and I must fulfill my promise." ”
"And what about your father?"
Jiang Jiuniang looked at him for a long time, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was almost uncontrollable.
"My father and mother are taken care of by my sister, and my sister will take care of people more than me, so she can recruit her son-in-law to go home to take care of her parents in the future, and I will often send silver to the family in the future to ensure that my father and sister can eat enough."
In these years, there is a rule, that is, slaves also have monthly money, but it depends on how much the master's family gives, but generally those who can afford slaves will not give very little.
He can save all the monthly money and send it to his family, which can be regarded as filial piety.
Jiang Jiuniang raised her eyebrows, glanced at Mingzhu, and asked Zhuzi again: "I thought your family would be more willing to sell your sister, how did you convince your parents?" ”
Mingzhu next to her didn't expect Jiang Jiuniang to mention herself, so she was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled again: "If Madame is more willing to buy the little girl, the little girl is also the same choice as the younger brother." ”
Zhuzi was anxious, and said: "These disasters are all caused by me, and it has nothing to do with Sister A, I said before that I sold my own, madam, you can buy me!" My sister has taken care of me since I was a child, and she still has to live her own life, and she shouldn't ruin her life for me! ”
He naturally had a quarrel with his father at home, he knew that in his father's heart, he was the most important, but he refused to live or die, just to keep his sister, his mother also stood up to help speak, and his father lost his temper, but he still agreed.
Besides, although he sold himself into slavery, it is not that he can't pass on the family lineage, and if he marries a wife and has children in the future, he can also send the child back to the second elder to raise, so that nothing will be delayed.
Jiang Jiuniang saw that he was really worried that he was looking at Mingzhu, and even made a move to block Mingzhu, Jiang Jiuniang couldn't help laughing, and said: "Okay, I won't tease you, since you are willing to sell yourself, then it is you." ”
Jiang Jiuniang took the deed and gave him ten taels of silver.
"This is the money you sold yourself, take it back to supplement your family."
The pillar was very surprised, and held the two silver ingots of five taels in both hands: "Madam, you have given too much!" ”
The most they have sold here is two or three taels of silver, and no one has sold ten taels of silver.
"It's okay, in my opinion, you're worth so much money."
This child has three positive views, good quality, good training, and can become a dog's help in the future, and it is very cost-effective to spend ten taels of silver.
Being praised by Jiang Jiuniang like this, Zhu Zi blushed a little embarrassedly, he didn't think he was so good, he even had been causing trouble for his family since he was a child, and he was scolded by the people around him.
But here in Jiang Jiuniang, his character and ideas have been recognized and respected, and his heart is warm.
"Thank you, madam, then I, I'll send Sister out, come back and sweep the yard and go cook, I can do anything!"
gave the deed and money, he is now the descendant of the Lu family, and it is up to him to handle everything for his master's family.
He handed over the work of feeding the horses of the Sun family to Sister A, and in the future, he would mainly serve the Lu family.
Jiang Jiuniang said: "Don't worry, you still go home tonight, have a good meal with your parents, and come back at noon tomorrow, I have other things to hand over to you." ”
The pillar blinked, looked at the location of the kitchen, and hesitated, "That ......"
"You don't have to worry about that, go ahead."
Jiang Jiuniang took a sip of tea, and the sisters and brothers hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.
"Then we'll go back first, by the way, we caught all these seafood ourselves, madam, you pick up what you like to eat!"
He carried the back basket on his back to Jiang Jiuniang, and there were some clams and oysters in it, which could be seen to be very fresh, and they should have just been caught.
Jiang Jiuniang took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, I like to eat." ”
was affirmed by Jiang Jiuniang again, the sister and brother were very happy, and went home happily with the money.
Jiang Jiuniang poured the seafood in the back basket into the basin and soaked it, then called the dog over and asked, "Would you like to let the pillar be a companion for you for a few months?" ”
The dog nodded and said, "Okay mother, I will teach him literacy and arithmetic." ”
Jiang Jiuniang said "hey" and praised: "Not bad, I already know my mother's intentions!" ”
The dog raised his chin very proudly and said: "Mother, you want to do business here, naturally you have to train your own people, you are kind to the pillar, and the pillar has good morals, is a malleable talent, and you also accepted his deed, not afraid of his betrayal, then I should take the trouble to teach, after all, this is the human hand that my mother has cultivated for me, mother, don't you say?" ”
