Chapter 226: Lu'er
Xia Qiyue was about to dig out the silver, and the fat-toothed woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Little lady, you just started to say that you want to be a literate girl, right?" ”
Xia Qiyue stopped what he was doing, looked at Ya Pozi, and asked with his eyes.
Ya Pozi didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and said directly, "I have a literate girl, and she knows a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!" It was a dowry maid cultivated by a large family, and she was temporarily sold by the main family because she stole the young lady's dowry! If the little lady doesn't mind that her hands and feet are not clean, you can buy it back! ”
Ya Pozi didn't have much hope for this maid, she took it back for ten taels, and she couldn't refuse, and she reluctantly accepted it because the master had a lot of business dealings with her.
After taking it back, she has been pressed in the backyard, and she didn't dare to introduce it to people, for fear that people would dislike her and sell it here, which would affect her business, but now the little lady in front of her doesn't seem to know much about it.
When she bought someone, she didn't check anything, she only asked if she was healthy, she didn't ask about the foundation, she didn't ask about her character, and even just swept it over and decided it, she boldly wanted to sell people.
However, Xia Qiyue didn't ask, it was useless to ask, if she told a lie, she couldn't confirm it, she only believed what she saw with her eyes, as for the matter at a glance, she was very good-looking, at least the nails, the clothes and shoes she wore were clearly seen, and she looked clean and clean.
"You? How big is a girl? Do you know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Xia Qiyue asked curiously.
If this is the case, she can consider it, because the three children of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are lacking a master.
The dowry maids cultivated by large families should be enough to teach a few little ones for a while, and then find a powerful master.
"Yes, yes, yes, I understand, it's not bad, it's just that I stole the dowry of the young lady of the main family and was sold by the main family, if the little lady doesn't mind this, I'll bring someone out for you to see?"
Xia Qiyue, who had originally stood up, took two steps back and sat back.
The meaning is obvious, wait to see the girl who knows piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and is literate.
Ya Pozi was very quick and went to bring people out.
The moment he saw the person, Xia Qiyue's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Is that you? Green? ”
She couldn't believe her eyes, because the green girl in front of her was no longer the little girl who was the first to come to buy candy every day and always chattered in her mouth, she was unkempt and bruised, which made people a little unrecognizable.
Lu'er in front of him didn't expect that the person who said he wanted to buy himself today was actually the Boss Xia who sold candy.
The little girl nodded excitedly, nodding, "It's me, it's me!" Boss Xia, please help me..."
"Be honest!" Without waiting for the little girl to finish speaking, Ya Pozi scolded.
I'm afraid that if she says something she shouldn't say, the wronged man in front of her won't buy her.
"Didn't you accompany your young lady to embroider the dowry? How could you steal the dowry and be sold? Xia Qiyue couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, glared back a little, and talked to Lu'er.
Lu'er is obviously a little afraid of the tooth woman, and she doesn't dare to say some things now, only one sentence: "Boss Xia, you bought me, I can read, I can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can carry water to cook, I can wash clothes, coax children, I can do anything, I am not afraid of hardship!" ”
She was afraid, afraid of losing this opportunity, and in a few days Ya Pozi would really sell her into the kiln.
She doesn't want to be a dusty woman, she doesn't want a pair of jade arms and a thousand pillows, she would rather be a little girl and do rough work every day.
If Lu'er sells herself, Ya Pozi doesn't stop her, and she has no enmity with Lu'er, she can sell herself, and it saves her trouble.
Xia Qiyue saw the desire in Lu'er's eyes, and she also knew a little about this girl, so she happily agreed to see her begging for herself.
"Okay, come with me!"
Lu'er pounced excitedly and knelt down, "Thank you, Boss Xia... No, Madame's life-saving grace! ”
Xia Qiyue was still a little unsure of why Lu'er saved her life one by one, she just thought that this girl couldn't stand the suffering of Yaxing, and she didn't sigh until she told herself the truth.
"In this case, it's a total of one hundred and fifty taels!" Ya Pozi suddenly rolled her eyes, and directly raised the price of Lu'er to a high of forty taels.
That's 30 taels.
Without waiting for Xia Qiyue to speak, Lu'er pointed to Ya Pozi, "When you accepted me, the Qin family only needed you ten taels of silver, and you turned around and sold forty taels?" ”
Xia Qiyue seemed to smile, and looked at the tooth mother-in-law: "Is that so?" ”
Ya Pozi gritted her teeth, "How do you know that the Qin family only needs ten taels?" They asked for thirty-five taels! You are literate, can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can also learn the etiquette rules of a large family, which is precious! ”
Xia Qiyue nodded, and then looked at Lu'er, "I'm sorry Lu'er, I don't have so much silver, you better wait for someone to buy you!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to take the children away, but he frightened the few people who were selected just now.
"Madame, take us away!"
Especially the little girl, mother and daughter, chased Xia Qiyue and came over, "Madam, you don't want Lu'er and don't want us, we are cheap, we are only more than ten taels!" ”
"Fat woman, you hurry up and sell it at a price! Is it really comfortable to keep it in your hands? ”
Mei Niang stared at the fat woman with raised eyebrows, that posture, if the fat woman made their wife angry, they were not finished with the fat woman.
Xia Qiyue's eyes lit up, yes, this Mei Niang is teachable, it must be worth it to buy it back, it is useful!
The two little maids had tears in their eyes, the two of them had just got a nice name, and seeing that Mrs. had a good temper, they wanted to follow Mrs. Ah, they didn't want to stay here and suffer.
Xia Qiyue heard that the names of these two girls were either Da Nier or Da Ya, so she simply decided to buy them and changed their names, one is called Shishu, and the other is called Shihua.
The fat woman was frightened, and hurriedly shook the fat all over her body and ran to Xia Qiyue, shouting in her mouth, "Little lady, don't want forty taels, don't want forty taels, twenty taels, twenty taels will be sold to you!" ”
It was directly cut in half, but there were still some people who were unwilling, so they only heard Mei Niang say, "Fat woman, you have taken it back for ten taels!" ”
Xia Qiyue admires Mei Niang's courage, you know, she hasn't bought them yet, if she really doesn't buy them, she still has to beg for a living under the hands of the fat woman.
Who knows, Mei Niang is gambling, betting that she is so head iron for Mrs., Mrs. will not leave her to be tortured by the fat woman.
Xia Qiyue slowly stood still, "Ten taels, I'll buy someone else, you can take Lu'er as a partner for me, give me ten taels!" Otherwise, I don't want it! ”
The fat woman stomped her feet, looking reluctant, although she said that she was taken back by ten taels, but she still had to raise it for so many days, didn't the food cost money?
In the end, she had to sell at a loss, and she was really reluctant.
Xia Qiyue turned around: "No, I'll leave!" ”
"Okay, okay! You take it away, take it away! ”
Everyone applauded, but those who were not chosen by Xia Qiyue were disappointed.
gave the fat woman one hundred and twenty taels of silver, took everyone's deed of sale, and when she took people out of her teeth, she also heard the distressed voice of the tooth woman.
