Chapter 5 Pick-up
Before the cup of tea was finished, the mule cart hired by Ah Cai came, and Zhao Cuishi asked Ah Cai and them to sit in the hired car, and she took Zhao Wangshu to her own mule cart.
"Grandma, aren't we going back?" Zhao Wangshu found that the direction of the mule cart was not out of the city.
"Go to the city of Xinu."
"Still buying?" Zhao Wangshu was surprised, her grandmother was crazy because she was stimulated by the mansion? What are the days to come?
"Girls from big families, one step, eight steps, there are only a few people around you." Zhao Cuishi touched her head, "Don't worry about the money, Grandma knows it." ”
"Oh." Zhao Wangshu responded obediently.
"When the maids are bought, you can change their names to make it easier to call." Zhao Cuishi began to teach his granddaughter again.
"The name of the green branch doesn't need to be changed, it matches the red branch." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.
"Okay." Zhao Cui's let go very thoroughly, and everything was based on Zhao Wangshu's opinion.
In Xinu City, Zhao Wangshu selected a total of four little girls who were sold by the family.
The eldest is only eleven years old, and the older one will not be sold at home, and at the age of thirteen or fourteen, you can allow others to receive the bride price directly.
Returning home with such a bunch of people, Zhao's father, Zhao Li and Zhao Yin were all stunned, A-Niang (Grandma) was crazy by the stimulation of the mansion? What are the days to come?
Zhao Cuishi ignored the shocked gazes of the three of them, and said calmly: "There are so many people added to the family today, this rule has to be said, first is to call, and then call me old lady." ”
Pointing at Zhao's father, "This is the master." ”
Pointing to Zhao Li, "This is Mrs." ”
Pointing at Zhao Yin, "This is the eldest young master." ”
Pointing at Zhao Wangshu, "This is the big girl." ”
The buckwheat lady dragged her son very cleverly, and the mother and son said in unison: "The slave has seen the master, the wife, the young master, and the girl, please be safe for the master, please be safe for the wife, please be safe for the young master, and ask for peace for the girl." ”
The other subordinates came back to their senses, and they also hurriedly drew scoops according to the gourd, and saluted the Zhao family.
Zhao Cui's looked at the buckwheat lady and nodded slightly, and continued: "I don't care whose family you used to be in and how beautiful you were, now that you have entered the Zhao family, you have to do things according to the rules of the Zhao family." ”
After speaking, Zhao Cui's arranged manpower, "Qishan's family, you are my companion, you have done a good job, and you have to take care of this family in the future." ”
"Mrs. Xie trusts, the old slave will definitely be on an errand." The face of the Qishan family is full of joy and authenticity.
"Qishan, you just follow the master in and out."
After Zhao Cui's arrangement, to the surprise of his subordinates, the eldest young master only followed Ah Xiang, a scholar.
On the contrary, it was the eldest girl Zhao Wangshu's side, in addition to Buckwheat Lady and Hong Chang, four of the six newly bought handmaidens followed her.
The other two maidservants, one followed Zhao Cui's and the other followed Zhao Li's.
The old servants also have their own places to go.
The maids beside Zhao Wangshu, Red Chang and Green Branch continue to use their original names, Chunfen changed her name to Lan Fen, Laidi changed her name to Bai Rong, and Xiao Wu changed her name to Orange Xiang.
I thought that Zhao Cui's would stop if he bought a bunch of people, but who would have thought that Zhao Cui's called the village garment shop to come and wait for the family to cut clothes.
"My Yue'er's clothes, you hurry up in the past two days, these girls, you make two sets for them to change and wash, and other people's clothes, you do it slowly, don't worry."
"Grandma Qi, don't worry, I'll make Yue'er's sister's clothes in these two days." The ready-to-wear shop is also opened by the Zhao family, and it is called Zhao Cui's according to the middle generation of the clan.
In the next few days, Zhao Cuishi asked Lady Buck and Lady Wei to teach Hong Chang a few rules, and she told Zhao Wangshu about the situation in the mansion.
On the second day of the first month of October, Zhao's father and Zhao Yin sent Zhao Wangshu's master and servant to the ancestral hall and said that they would gather here.
When Zhao Wangshu arrived, Zhao Shuhui and Zhao Xiuniang had already arrived.
Seeing Zhao Wangshu, both of them got up and saluted, "Sister Shu is good." ”
"Sister Hui is good, Sister Xiu is good." Zhao Wangshu politely returned the salute.
Zhao Shuhui's father is deceased, her younger siblings are still young, and she only relies on her mother Liu's spinning to support the family.
Although the conditions of Zhao Xiu's family are better than those of Zhao Shuhui's family, the family has too many people, and there is no extra money to buy her maids.
Seeing that Zhao Wangshu was accompanied by a daughter-in-law and six servants, both of them showed envy in their eyes.
Zhao Wangshu was followed by Zhao Shujing, who brought a daughter-in-law and two maidservants.
Other girls came one after another, with one or two maidservants with them.
After the people arrived, they waited for about a quarter of an hour for the carriage from the mansion to pick up the people.
The mansion sent five carriages to pick them up this time, and the eight girls were placed in the first two carriages, and the lower people and luggage were crowded in the last three.
Before the girls left, the owner of the village specially told them, "You must remember that only when the family is prosperous will you have a good future." ”
That's true, but it's chilling to see if the family's prosperity comes at the expense of their lifelong happiness.
The carriage was getting farther and farther away from Zhuang, and Zhao Xiuniang suddenly cried.
She is the youngest of the eight, and she deliberately arranged the eldest Zhao Twelve Niang in this carriage just to take care of her.
Zhao Wangshu and Zhao Yingniang were also in this carriage, Zhao Yingniang was a few days older than Zhao Xiuniang, and when she saw Xiuniang crying, she also had red eyes.
Zhao Wangshu took Zhao Yingniang to comfort her, and Twelve Niang coaxed Zhao Xiuniang, "Zhuangzi is not far from the city, so if you want to go home, come back a few more times." ”
"Didn't you say you weren't allowed to go home?" Zhao Xiuniang's vocal cords cried authentically.
"That's what I said, but if you want to come back, can you still let the mansion go?" Twelve Niang said heartily.
"Even if the mansion doesn't let us come back at will, don't be afraid, there are so many of us with you." Zhao Wangshu hurriedly helped Twelve Niang round the field.
"Yes, yes, when we arrive at the mansion, we eat and live together, and we can help each other if we have anything." Twelve Niang said softly.
Under the relief of Twelve Niang and Zhao Wangshu, the two little girls were finally not too sad.
As the carriage was about to enter the city, it stopped.
Zhao Yingniang opened the curtain and looked out, "I don't know what happened, there are so many people in front." ”
"Sister Yingniang, put down the curtain quickly, it's not good to be seen." Zhao Twelve Niang said.
"What's so bad? Could it be that at the foot of this son of heaven, there are still people who dare to rob the people's daughters? Zhao Yingniang pouted.
"I've heard that there are gentlemen who molest." Zhao Twentyniang glanced at Zhao Wangshu, this clan sister is too stunningly beautiful, but she never hides it.
Zhao Wangshu looked at Zhao Yingniang, who was frightened, and said with a light smile: "Twelfth sister, are you a vegetarian when you are a Feng Ji Army?" ”
The laws of this dynasty are quite the style of the ancient Qin, more strict, and the discipline army is specifically responsible for the security of the city, which is greater than the right to arrest the Jingzhao Mansion, and those who resist can be killed on the spot.
The gentleman is in the Goolan Courtyard, how to debaucher the corpse, how to get drunk and obsessed, the discipline army will not care, but he can't harass the woman of a good family.
If the words are mocking, the rod shall be fifty according to the law.
If you dare to rob the people's daughter in public, you will be imprisoned for three years according to the law, and your parents will be guilty of the same crime.
If a woman dies in humiliation, it is the most severe punishment.
There are beauties in Goolan Courtyard, and the gentleman can't get along with a woman from a good family, which is one of the reasons why women in this dynasty don't need to wear hats when they go out.
