Chapter 285: Big Girl and Second Girl (1)
Changyan didn't plan to show the painting. This world, this painting will be the only thing she will take away.
The rest of my life is not much different, and I continue to learn in the space. I also have to keep in touch with Yang Yao's family often, Yang Qi is very promising, she was admitted to a good university, she studied well, her professional skills are also good, after graduation, she brought her girlfriend home, Yang's father later got married for the second time, and it was inevitable that the chickens and dogs would jump for a while, and the days would go on like this.
As he was leaving, Changyan glanced at the score and returned to the space.
It was rare to see Lieyu once, and it was still extremely happy, and it sent the next girl in and winked at Changyan. Changyan was so happy to see it, and seized the opportunity to trick him, although he didn't get much out of it, but it was not bad.
The girl was very cramped and careful when she came in, for fear of soiling the place, and she did not dare to look up at Changyan.
"I—My name is Apricot...... Well, it shouldn't be Chunqin, my surname is Zhou, and my parents call me a big girl. ”
"I thought she was disgusted that my sister was dirty, so she didn't come anymore. So, I asked a villager to bring the silver bracelet to the second girl, just saying that it was a piece of clothing, and the girl in the building gave the clothes, they would dislike it, so they would not ignore it. ”
"But this debt collector, they didn't give the IOU to their father, and the next day, they came to collect the debt again. My father really can't help it, he is going to give them the second girl, where is the second girl worth ten taels of silver, my father is ready to sell my mother to them, the debt collector said, my sister is thin, the appearance is average, only worth two taels of silver, my mother is old and yellow, only worth two hangings, not enough to pay them back, if they don't give them the money, they cut off my brother's thumb. ”
Afraid that Changyan didn't know what ten taels of silver meant, Zhou Daniu explained again: "In our Datao Village, five taels of silver can marry a daughter-in-law." My younger brother is gambling on his father's savings for half of his life, and he is the only son in the family, so he can't see him being beaten to death by the people in the gambling house, so my father and mother scraped together the money, and the family owes others two dollars. ”
The girl looked up at Changyan, and quickly lowered her head: "I said, will you dislike me for being dirty and unwilling to help me?" ”
"In the second year of Yuankang, I encountered a rare drought in 20 years, and the relief grain of the imperial court did not come down for a long time, and my family had no surplus grain......
Speaking of this, Zhou Daniu carefully observed Changyan's expression again, and saw that her expression was the same, and she did not show an expression of disgust or disgust, so she continued.
The girl still didn't believe it, and she had to look at her face when she said a word.
"So, then I said it?"
"I secretly saved some money, if not for anything else, I don't dare to think about the money for redemption, but I want to secretly save a little dowry for the second girl, and it is best to give her a pair of silver bracelets, plus a pair of silver earrings. At home, only the second girl will come to see me secretly, and every time she doesn't dare to get closer, she will secretly look at me in the corner outside the building, and ask the beggar to send me something to eat, sometimes a small piece of cake, half a steamed bun, sometimes a few wild peaches. The second girl in the family is still thinking about me. ”
If so, it's better not to say it and leave early.
One thing that Changyan appreciates about the system space is that the people they choose will not look at their identities, nor will they look at the chastity in the eyes of the world. Except for the old princess at the beginning, and then they are basically ordinary women.
"I only know that what can be sent here just shows that they are beautiful, pure and clear."
Fortunately, that bag of grain made my parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters wait for the relief food from the imperial court, tighten their belts and get through. That year, many sisters in the building died, and they couldn't eat enough, but when they came inside, they still couldn't eat. I was lucky, I was young, and I was often called by my name, so I had food to eat and survived. ”
"My father and mother sold me for a bag of grain, that year, I had just turned thirteen years old, I was originally going to say goodbye, but in the years of famine, who can take food or silver as a bride price? The mother in the building said that my name was not good, and it happened that a sister named Xing'er in the building died, so she asked me to take her name as Xing'er. In order to get back the bag of food, my mother quickly arranged for me to pick up customers. ”
Even if it's a little bit of a flaw, it doesn't hurt. It just makes them look rare.
"Gradually, my mind faded away, and it wasn't until more than a year later that I learned from the people in the village that my younger brother went to gamble when he went to the county government to pay the Ding tax, and he owed ten taels of silver."
"Sister, I hate them, even if they sell me to human teeth to be a slave and maid, they sold me to the building. Is Louzi a good place? The women who go in are all lowly, inferior all their lives, they are spurned by others when they are alive, and they will be scolded and lewd when they die. ”
"But my family has no food, the seeds are not edible, what will I use to plant the land in the next year after eating the seeds, if I can't plant the land, I can't pay the Ding tax, I can't pay the Ding tax, I will be pulled to do coolies, and it will be difficult to come back. Thinking about it, it seems that the only way to go is to sell me. ”
Changyan looked at the clothes on her body, probably understood, smiled and pulled the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl to her side, asked her to sit down, and sorted out her appearance: "Don't be afraid, speak slowly." There is no one else here. ”
"My family lives in Da Tao Village, and I have a younger brother, Zhou Fa, and a younger sister, Tuesday Niu. My family has only one male child, from my grandfather to my father to my younger brother. ”
But the second girl still didn't come, and since then, she seems to have disappeared. I thought she was disgusted with having a sister like me begging for a living in the building. ”
"I have been in that building for two years, saved a little money, and have already given Erniu a pair of silver bracelets, thinking that next time she comes to her, Erniu should also say kiss, and she has no confidence if she says that she has no dowry, but Erniu has not come since that day."
The system will not deliberately choose "clean", and women who have never had a man come over.
This is deliberately tricking people, Changyan frowned slightly when he heard this. Five fingers on one hand, the thumb is the most important, the broken thumb is a severe disability, and the broken thumb is equivalent to a waste of a hand, which is a very poisonous practice.
"Later, it was our village master Zhuang who stood up and said that he had a crush on Erniu, and he could pay off my brother's debts, but my father wanted to sell Erniu to him. My dad agreed. sold the second girl to Master Zhuang. ”
"I thought that Master Zhuang had taken a fancy to Erniu, and Erniu's life would not be too bad, but I gave the silver to inquire and found out that Erniu's life in Mr. Zhuang's mansion was not a human life at all, and Master Zhuang only played with her as a finch. They said that the second girl ran into the mountains after being tortured. No more news. ”
