The next day, Mama Zheng and Jia Hui cleaned up, and the coachman who usually went out with Qingwen drove them to Qingwen's new house.

"Take down the roster of people, and count people by name!" Mama Zheng said to the original housekeeper.

The servants of the Jia family are third-class grandmothers, who are also gorgeously dressed, with gold and silver on their heads, and they speak with a sense of prestige, which is comparable to these servants bought by Zhao Qiansun?

The housekeeper went to get the roster, and Jia Hui opened it and called them one by one.

A total of twelve people, eight men and four women, stood on the ground one by one, at a loss.

"You didn't buy it from our girl, but the girl of the Zheng family gave you to her along with the house."

Mama Zheng cleared her throat and shouted with full anger, "Today, our girl is gracious, and if you sign a living deed, you can immediately restore your free body, and you can leave now." If you want to redeem yourself if you sign the deed of death, the girl will only accept three times the amount of money you sell. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hearts and eyes of those subordinates moved.

It is better to say that those who signed the living deed had the freedom to redeem themselves. When the time is up to serve the Lord, he can regain his freedom; Or if the time is not enough, you can also hand in the ransom money and leave.

However, it is not necessary to sign the death contract, and whether or not you can be free depends on the heart of the master.

If the master is a good-hearted man, let you redeem yourself with money; If the master is harsh, then he will never want to escape from his control in this life.

Moreover, even if you are to redeem yourself, it will be at least five times as much silver as when you were bought.

How can there be a person like a new master who can redeem himself with three times the amount of silver?

"Whoever is alive, stand in front." Mama Zheng glanced at them.

The five men and two women looked at each other and stood up together, the master didn't even want the ransom money to give them freedom, this opportunity should not be in vain.

Jia Hui found out the deed and returned it to them one by one.

"Pack up your belongings and leave now. I don't want your ransom money, and I certainly don't want you to wrap it up. Mama Zheng said.

The seven of them went to clean up.

Among the remaining five people, there was the original housekeeper, who was the housekeeper in the end, and he could usually make some oil and water, so he took thirty taels of silver on the spot and ransomed himself.

"What about you?" Mama Zheng looked at the last two men and two women.

"Mama, I'm not going out," cried one of the girls, "and my mom sold me here and didn't want me to go out again." They took all the money from the sale, and I didn't have the money to redeem myself. ”

"I'm not going out either," cried the other girl, "just leave us to serve the girl, and when I go home, my old lady will have to sell me to another house." ”

The two manservants also shook their heads and said with a wry smile: "Mama, when we sold ourselves, we had nowhere to go, where else can we go without here?" ”

Mama Zheng glanced at the four people and nodded with satisfaction, this is the result that Qingwen wants.

She didn't just use this house to live in, there were other uses.

It is said that these subordinates can stay, but they were picked by Zhao Qiansun, and Qingwen didn't like it, so she left a few who signed the death deed.

Most of the people who live the deed want to redeem themselves, and they have their own careful thoughts.

And the death deed is to tie their net worth and life to the master, the master is not happy to fight and sell, if something happens to the master's family, they have to accompany them, this is the so-called "life and death together".

Therefore, the slave of the death pact is the most faithful.

"Okay, the four of you will stay, and give birth to the girl to watch this house first, and wait for the girl to tell you what to do in the future. The monthly money is the same as what Zhao Qiansun gave, and if you do a good job, you will raise it again. ”

Mama Zheng pointed to one of the older and loyal-looking manservants, and said, "You will take on the role of housekeeper for the time being, and assign a few jobs to them every day, and you must not be lazy." ”

"Hey!" The servant happily agreed.

……

Mama Zheng was handling the affairs of the servants in the house, and Qingwen and Xiaohong went out again.

At the back door of the East Mansion, Second Sister You and Third Sister You stood there gracefully.

Qingwen told Mama Zhu to go to Dongfu to report early in the morning, and asked the two sisters of the You family to go out for a walk.

You never cared about the two younger sisters going out, and they came out easily.

"Two sisters, get in the car." Qingwen opened the carriage door and smiled.

The coachman put down the stool, and you got into the car with her skirt.

"My sister is in such a good mood today, where are you going?" The third sister asked.

"The usual fat powders are all used up, and the ones bought in the house are not suitable. Go out on the street and buy something that works. Qingwen smiled back.

……

Kyoto is bustling with cars and horses.

Horse-drawn carriages weave through the flow of people, and the sounds of small traders and hawkers and bargaining between buyers and sellers can be heard.

"That's life!"

Qingwen leaned against the wall of the carriage and sighed, "Every day I am bored in the house, although there are a lot of maids and servants around me, there are people to serve me when I move, and I don't move my hand." I eat well, I dress well, and I have a monthly routine, but I really want to get out.

It is to set up stalls on the street to sell, listening to the noise and excitement of ordinary people, and it is more vivid than the days that have not changed for thousands of days in the house. And make your own money and spend it yourself, not being controlled by anyone, how free and easy. ”

Third Sister You glanced out the window, the light in her eyes flickering.

Second Sister You said: "My sister has responded to the sentence 'I don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness'?" How many poor women are you living now? ”

"Yes," Qingwen glanced at her lightly, "Such a gentle and rich land, how many people want to cut their heads and want to go in, even if they are willing to be concubines."

However, is there a good room for concubines? How many rooms are there in the main room where you are as kind as your sister-in-law and treat your concubine like a sister? What if you encounter that spicy and unbearable, but you can't escape for fear of your life? ”

As soon as she said this, Second Sister You's cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.

Lin Qingwen shook her head, she could see that this girl already had that kind of thought.

She loves vanity, covets enjoyment, and looks forward to marrying into a glorious mansion like the Jia family.

But her identity is not as good as the original You family.

You can only marry Jia Zhen as a stepmother, so she can only be a concubine for the genuine children of the Jia family.

Third Sister You just looked at the excitement outside, and didn't even look back, as if she hadn't heard the conversation between Qingwen and her second sister.

When we reached a fat powder shop, the coachman stopped the carriage.

Xiaohong got out of the car with Qingwen in her arms, and the second and third sisters You also came down.

"Miss Qing is here, what do you want to buy today?"

As soon as the four of them entered the shop, a young girl greeted them warmly.

"Sister is busy herself, let's see for ourselves." Qingwen said with a smile.

"Well, they're all old acquaintances, the girls see for themselves, forgive me for not being careful." The girl smiled and turned to greet the young man and woman who had just entered.

Third Sister You glanced at the back of the girl leaving, and then looked at the two long shelves in the store full of makeup, her beautiful eyes thoughtful.
