Chapter 4: Selling Slaves
There are a lot of things to accept at once, and Shen Yanshu felt that his head was about to crack, so he had to stop thinking about it, and the most important thing was to take care of his body first.
In the next few days, Shen Yanshu spent the next few days taking medicine and resting, and his complexion became better and better, no one came to disturb him, but he was idle.
She got out of bed, walked to the window and pushed the window open, and finally saw the appearance of this yard, a little deserted, the yard was planted with some ordinary grass and trees, not even many flowers, at a glance, in addition to the green, there were a few not very smooth paths.
It's obviously spring, but there is no spring at all.
Is this a courtyard where Miss Fuzhong, a third-grade official, should live?
Recalling the day she woke up, Meng's cozy attitude, Shen Yanshu roughly knew her status in this family, and was framed by Shen Yuyan for a private meeting with a strange man, I am afraid that her reputation is gone, what good treatment can she have?
What the Shen family does to her, the current Shen Yanshu doesn't matter, it's just a temporary haven, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, they will pay back tenfold!
"Miss, why are you up! Close the window, the illness has not been cured yet!" The green kite came in with the medicine and saw Shen Yanshu standing in front of the window, and hurriedly persuaded.
Shen Yanshu turned around and just said, "It's out of the way." ”
Qinglan, who came in behind Qing Kite, saw Shen Yanshu like this, and also persuaded her: "Miss, don't be willful, only when this body is well cultivated can you do whatever you want." ”
Qing Kite put down the decoction in his hand, stepped forward to close the window, helped Shen Yanshu to the table, sat on the stool, and then handed the decoction to Shen Yanshu.
Shen Yanshu doesn't need to be fed by others when he drinks medicine, he usually pours it directly after serving it in a bowl, even if it is bitter, he doesn't like to eat candied fruit.
Seeing that Shen Yanshu drank the medicine, Qinglan said: "Miss, why hasn't Qingzhu come to the back room to serve recently? I haven't worked much in the past few days, and she is really, knowing that Miss needs manpower the most now, so she is playing tricks at this time." ”
There were originally four first-class maids in Shen Yanshu's yard, namely green kites, green bamboos, green orchids, and green plums.
Qingmei and Qingmei have been Shen Yanshu's personal maids since they were children, so they are very attentive to Shen Yanshu, because the last time Shen Yanshu "had a private meeting" with a strange man, he fell into the water again, so Meng punished the maid Qingmei who Shen Yanshu took out that time, and sent her to a remote Zhuangzi.
Although Shen Yanshu is the eldest daughter in the second room, her status in the house is not high, the real right in the second room is the Meng family, and the fifth lady Shen Yuyan is from the Meng family, and the subordinates naturally know to please Shen Yuyan.
Shen Yanshu's own life is not very good, let alone those people under her, how can the people in the courtyard treat her as a master, and try to be perfunctory if she can.
"Since she doesn't want to do it, then don't force it, let Ya Po come and take people away in two days. Shen Yanshu said lightly, as if to say that today's weather is not bad.
Qing Kite and Qing Lan were stunned.
Miss, this is going to sell the green bamboo!
"Miss...... This matter should be asked to the second lady first, right?" Qinglan reminded.
Shen Yanshu nodded: "Then you go and talk to the second lady about this matter first, and then go and ask Ya Po." ”
What she meant was that she was just informing the second lady of the matter, not seeking the second lady's opinion. Qinglan was a little stunned by her, after all, the cowardly third lady never dared to make up her own mind.
Qinglan nodded yes, and then went to the Lanxiang Courtyard where the second lady was.
Before Ya Po came over, Qingzhu had already come to the door crying and crying.
"Miss, why are you so ruthless to betray me? I have not served you wholeheartedly all these years, even if I have no merit, I have toiled!"
As soon as Shen Yanshu was about to fall asleep, the noise of green bamboo sounded outside the courtyard, as if he would not stop calling the people around him.
Qing Kite couldn't hear it: "Miss, Qingzhu is shouting like this, I'm afraid it's for everyone to know......"
"What if you know?" Shen Yanshu didn't seem to be worried at all.
She only wore an extra coat, and even her hair was untied, and she wore waist-length green silk and walked slowly to the door of the room.
"I don't think I've done anything sorry for Miss over the years, I work hard and complain, why did Miss have to sell me? Even if it's about your private meeting with a man, I didn't leak it, why are you ......?"
"If you shout more, I'll sell you to Qinglou. Shen Yanshu said in a deep voice, his voice was not high, but it was very penetrating.
Qingzhu quieted down suddenly, looking at Shen Yanshu's gloomy eyes, he was so frightened that he forgot what he was doing, and even his heartbeat seemed to slow down.
Qingzhu immediately stepped forward and pulled up Qingzhu, who was kneeling at the gate of the courtyard: "Qingzhu, do you have a brain, how can you shout loudly here!"
"Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just don't want to leave Miss!" Qingzhu knelt forward, grabbed Shen Yanshu's skirt, and said as if frightened, "Please forgive me!"
Shen Yanshu leaned down slowly and said softly, "I have already given you a chance, but you don't cherish it." ”
Qingzhu looked up at Shen Yanshu, her hands trembled a little, she knew that Shen Yanshu was talking about decoction, originally she was just pretending to cry, hearing her say this, a sense of fear rose inexplicably in her heart.
At this time, the maids not far away all watched this scene, but they didn't dare to talk about anything, and pretended to work silently.
"Shu'er, your body is not well yet, why did you come out, what if it catches the wind?"
Not far away, the Meng clan was walking in the direction where they were, followed by a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, Shen Yanshu guessed, it was probably Shen Yuyan.
Seeing Meng's family, Qingzhu stepped forward excitedly as if he had seen a life-saving straw: "Madam, Madame save the slave maid, the slave maid doesn't want to be sold to the Qinglou!"
Qingzhu is the person arranged by the Meng family in Shen Yanshu's courtyard, and in order to please Meng and Shen Yuyan on weekdays, she has done a lot of tricks and feet on Shen Yanshu's daily life, and she believes that the Meng family will not let Shen Yanshu be happy.
"Shu'er, are you going to sell Qingzhu to Qinglou?" asked Meng Shi.
Shen Yanshu nodded: "Originally, I just wanted Ya Po to take her away, it doesn't matter where she sells it, but since she proposed it herself, then sell it to Qinglou." ”
"I don't want it! I don't want it!" Qingzhu shouted.
Shen Yuyan couldn't look at it, and stood up and said, "Shen Yanshu, why did you sell her!
"This green bamboo is a person in my yard, why can't I sell it? Am I not satisfied and want me to hold it all the time? I am also the eldest daughter of the second room, I didn't expect that my status is not as good as a maid!" Shen Yanshu said coldly.
Meng originally planned to coax Shen Yanshu to turn the page on this matter, who would have thought that she would say such a thing, isn't this saying that she, the master mother, treats her harshly!
