In the next two days, Danzhu and Wu Ping talked about sweet love, and their relationship was growing day by day, and they were almost glued together at night.

On the fourth day, Danzhu, who was so excited that he didn't sleep much for three consecutive days, finally caught a Jintong free, and Su Bai didn't have the time to wait in front of him to chat with Jintong.

"Madame, ma'am! I, the slave, tell you! Danzhu squeezed around Jintong, holding Jintong's hand, his eyes lit up, and the whole person exuded a strong, sour smell of love.

It seems that this family affair is about to be completed, Jin Tong secretly said in his heart, and couldn't help but be happy for Danzhu.

"The soup and cake shop on Middle Street is not a big place, so there are more than a dozen tables. I squatted for three days, and there were the most people at that time of dinner, and I could sell an average of 150 or 60 copies a day. In this way, you can sell 200 copies a day, and even if you have 12 eldest sons, you will have more than two taels of income a day. Let's calculate the net profit of a month, at least twenty or thirty taels of silver, and if it is for one or two children to study in the future, it will be enough. ”

Danzhu 1510 counted to Jintong: "Madam, over the years, the slave and maid have inherited your love, and have also saved more than 1,000 taels of silver, and the slave and maid plan to take 500 taels back to the slave's father, and the rest will be used as private money." The money for the store, Brother Ping said, will naturally be borne by him. ”

Jintong was a little worried: "Cooking is no better than you being by my side, it's very busy." ”

"Slaves and maids can hold on, no matter how busy and hard they are, it is easier than slaves and maids and brothers working in the village."

"If you think about it clearly, I will ask Wu An to take down the storefront, how to arrange it, it's up to you to decide."

"How can you bother Madam like this, the slave maid and Wu Ping have calculated, our silver is enough!"

"Don't shirk, it's not just you, I will arrange everything for you to serve me faithfully from the Marquis of Jian'an's mansion, so that you can live without worry for the rest of your life!"

Jin Tong pondered a few maids under her, Qiao Green and Red 16, Red Jade Cui Jue is only 15, and the goose gold leaf bead is round and jade is four smaller, so don't be in a hurry.

Ning Zi Danzhu is the same age, Dan Zhu promised Wu Ping, Ning Zi's family had already made a family appointment, and he planned to wait for Ning Zi to be twenty years old, so he came over to ask Jintong for a favor and let her marry.

Only the biggest remaining Su Bai did not move, and Jin Tong asked enthusiastically: "Su Bai, do you have a favorite object?" If you have, just say it, and I'll make the decision for you. ”

Su Bai replied bluntly: "Madam, slaves and maids don't marry!" ”

Jintong thought to herself, how could a woman in this dynasty not get married?

He continued to ask enthusiastically: "You don't see the right one yourself?" It doesn't matter, I'll help you find a good one, and then I'll marry you off! ”

Unexpectedly, Su Bai suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jintong a few times, which startled the boss of Jintong, and quickly got up to help her.

Su Bai looked stubborn and firm: "Madam, Su Bai doesn't marry!" If the lady does not want the slave to serve the left and right, the slave and maid cut their hair and go to the family temple to pray for the lady as a sister-in-law. ”

Jintong didn't expect Su Bai's reaction to be so big, and hurriedly helped her up: "Are you stupid?" If you don't marry, you won't marry, why do you say those stupid things about being a monk! Is that temple good in feng shui, or do you and Shen Miaolian have a deep relationship? I had to go over to accompany her to read the scriptures of the ancient Buddha of the green light. ”

Su Bai only wiped her tears: "The slave maid has served his wife alone in this life, and the slave and maid next to him don't want to." Then he cried and wiped away his tears.

Leaving Jintong with a bewildered face, it took a long time to react that Su Bai must have something on his mind, or a person who is usually gentle and peaceful, he would not be so out of shape when he heard about marrying.

She pulled Mama Cai to explain a few words, and asked Mama Qi to hurry up and take a look, so as not to have anything happen to Su Bai.

Danzhu was also at a loss, and his brain circuit became curiously worried: Sister Su Bai should also like Wu Ping, right? What can I do?

With such a play, Jintong has no thoughts. She explained that since Danzhu had already seen a suitable Wuping, she would pick a good day and an auspicious day for them to get married.

There is also the twelfth of next month, she is going to Niutou Villa, and when the time comes, she will bring Wu Ping over with her to let Danzhu's parents see this prospective son-in-law. If you need something, go to the warehouse and get it yourself, and just talk to her when you've chosen.

Jintong explained a few more words to Mama Cai, Mama Cai hurriedly went to the small kitchen to bring a drawer of exquisite desserts, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw Su Bai leaning on the side of the bed wiping her tears, and Mama Qi persuaded beside her.

When Mama Qi saw Mama Cai coming, she left Su Bai to Mama Cai and left first.

Mama Cai took out a piece of pastry from the drawer: "Madame said, if you are bitter, you will eat more desserts, think about the fact that there are still many sweet and delicious things in the world, so it is much more comfortable." ”

Su Bai choked up and took the pastry and ate it silently.

"Madame also said, remember to rinse your mouth and wipe your teeth carefully after eating dessert, so as not to lose your teeth at a young age, and stand beside Mrs. to serve, people still think that Mrs. is the master's abuse of slaves, and beat you to the point that your mouth is full of teeth!"

Su Bai couldn't help laughing, and was moved in her heart, sure enough, Madame still took care of her.

Mama Cai lovingly stroked her plain white hair: "Silly child! Madame doesn't know the situation, but she is also dedicated to your own good, won't you hurt Madame's heart when you come out today? ”

Su Bai was embarrassed, missed his body and lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Mama Cai, without saying a word, the pastries in his hands were broken.

"Su Bai, if you say that your life is hard, can you compare to Mama and me?" Mama Cai's man and two children were killed by the plague, which is well known to everyone in the Jingbei Hou Mansion.

At the beginning, Mama Cai came back to serve Mrs. Xian, and some people said that Mama Cai had a hard life and was not suitable to serve Mrs. Xian closely, but Mrs. Cai took a fancy to Mama Cai, and later pointed Mama Cai to take care of Jintong.

Su Bai has been by Jintong's side since she was a child, and naturally she knows that she is becoming more and more guilty: "Mama, it's all my fault, I make you think of sad things!" ”

"The deceased is gone, and there is no way to chase it!" Mama Cai took Su Bai's hand: "Girl, look at Mama and I, everything I eat and wear, everything is good, and the wives of ordinary eunuchs are not as good as Mama I!" Mama has a wish now, to serve Mrs. well, and watch Mrs. and the Seventh Master have children with Hemeimei! When Mama stretches out her feet and goes to accompany my dead ghost and two children, Mama can tell them that I have enjoyed all the blessings you have not had time to enjoy----" Mama Cai said as she spoke, tears falling straight down.

Su Bai hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and Mama Cai took Su Bai's hand: "Your mother and your sister are all miserable, and your sister was killed without even drinking a mouthful of milk." Plain white, the dead cannot be recovered, so the living should cherish the present. Madame said, if you don't marry, you won't marry, and you will eat and drink spicy food with her for the rest of your life. ”

Su Bai nodded tearfully.

That night, Mama Cai personally came to remove Jintong's makeup and rinse, and Jintong knew that Mama Cai must have something to say, so she asked a few words.

Mama Cai sighed first: "Su Bai's mother is a hard worker!" Then he told Jintong the reason.

Su Bai Niang was originally an embroidery lady of the Hou Mansion in Jingbei, with exquisite craftsmanship and good personality, and was called Su Niangzi.

Su Bai's father is a steward of the stables in the house, named Yang He, who is quite good at playing with horses, and was quite valued by the Marquis of Jingbei at first.

When the two got married at the beginning, they got along quite well. Later, Yang He somehow became addicted to gambling and was dismissed for stealing horses from the house to sell. Yang He was resentful in his heart, and he intensified, either gambling or drinking every day, and the valuable objects in his home were basically lost by Yang He. However, Su Niangzi's stomach was not angry, and she gave birth to three daughters one after another, the youngest child, who was said to be deformed from birth, and was killed by Yang He.

Jintong was even more sympathetic to Su Bai: "That Yang He drinks heavily every day, no wonder the child was born deformed." ”

"Mama Qi also said the same thing at the beginning, men drink excessively, and there are many health problems when they give birth to offspring."

"And then?"

Yang He disliked that Su Niangzi would only give birth to a daughter, and there was no way to inherit the Yang family, so he was beaten and scolded at every turn. Su Niangzi cries every day, her eyes are broken, the embroidery work she does is not as delicate as before, and the money she earns is getting less and less. Na Yang and the wolf's heart were dogs, and they secretly took the six-year-old sister Subai out and sold them, and came back to the house to lie that the child was sick and died. ”

The husband and wife of the Yang family are all slaves, and the children born are naturally slaves, and only the master has the right to live, kill, and sell. Moreover, the children born to slaves in the family are normally handed over to the government at the age of five to learn all kinds of knowledge, and then distributed to various places according to their talents.

"I can't find the child, and my husband is so virtuous. Su Niangzi's heart died, so she took Su Bai, who was only four years old, to the embroidery room, and begged the housekeeper to take Su Bai to the embroidery room to study, just eat food, the family really can't afford to raise it. The lady in charge was kind-hearted and accepted plain white, but unexpectedly something happened that night. Su Niangzi borrowed a hanging and a half money, renovated a table of good food and wine, and after getting Yang He drunk, she smashed Yang He's head to pieces with a door plug, and then committed suicide by hanging the roof beam with a rope. ”

There was such a tragic thing in the world, Jintong was so angry that his facial features were deformed: "My mother didn't take care of it at the beginning? ”

"Mrs. Xian's health has not been good, who dares to tell Mrs. Xian about these filthy things? Later, when Mrs. Xian heard about this, she sent someone to find Su Bai's sister and kept Su Bai by her side. buried Mrs. Su again, and threw Na Yang He to the mass grave to feed the dogs! ”

"Well deserved!" Jintong asked again: "Has Su Bai's sister been recovered?" It seems that I have never heard Su Bai mention it. ”

Mama Cai sighed again: "I found it back, I was only a six-year-old child, I don't know how much I suffered, I was skinny, I only had one breath left, and I left in less than three days......"

Jintong was also embarrassed, thought about it for a while, and stopped after explaining a few words to Mama Cai.

This is the case in feudal society, Jintong is powerless to change anything, what she can do is to rely on her own ability to treat the people around her as much as possible, at least let them live in peace and worry-free.
