Escape from the famine at the beginning: I rely on space to spoil Lord Shoufu

Hearing this, Mistress Liu's eyes showed a look of surprise, and she reconfirmed, "Are you sure?"

Many young masters also took a fancy to this girl, but everyone was very conflicted. Of course, the main reason was because this girl had just been sent here, not long ago.

In two days, when the wealthy family in Yun County saw it, they might buy it back and make it a concubine.

The price is naturally not low, so Mrs. Liu intends to make a lot of money.

But it's not good for a woman to buy it back.

"Then you bring that row of people back to me."

When Tao Xi said that, it meant that he didn't disappoint the girl, so that she wouldn't resent her for not buying the girl.

Granny Liu went to talk to the big man, while Mrs. Xu lowered her voice and said to Tao Xi:

"Boss, I don't know if I should say something or not."

"speak."

Tao Xi opened her mouth tolerantly, and Lady Xu lowered her voice and said, "This girl is a servant girl of the guilty minister's family. I'm afraid she might look down on our small place. The most... the most important thing is..."

She hesitated, and Tao Xi was very helpless, "If you have any ideas, just say it."

"She's too pretty, it's not good for a young lady of the boss to buy it back, what if she is more serious and seduces the husband of the boss?"

That's why Mrs. Liu was surprised just now. Generally, when a housewife chooses a maid, most of them don't choose one who is too beautiful.

So if she is too beautiful, she will either be sold as a concubine or thrown into a brothel.

"I am inferior to her?"

Tao Xi looked at Mrs. Xu playfully, and Mrs. Xu trembled, her desire to survive was extremely strong.

"The owner is as beautiful as a flower, so naturally she cannot compare."

"That's it."

Tao Xi rubbed her fingertips lightly, not taking what she said to heart.

On the contrary, Mrs. Xu was a little worried. You must know that for a man, whether a lady is good-looking is not the key to accepting a concubine.

The food at home is tired, and the excrement outside is delicious. Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu's eyes flashed a touch of loneliness.

This was seen by Tao Xi, but Mrs. Liu had already brought someone over, so Tao Xi couldn't say much.

What she didn't say was that if Jian Shiming couldn't even stand this little test, there was absolutely no need for the two of them to be together.

After all, Jian Shiming is the chief assistant in the future, and there will be so many beauties in the future.

"Little lady, everyone has been brought here."

Granny Liu wiped her face with a handkerchief, pointed to a row of people in front of her and said, "First, see if there is any suitable one."

Tao Xi took a step forward, her eyes fell on the delicate little girl, she bit her lip, although she wanted to speak, but she still held back.

Compared with others, she stood upright, and she looked like she had been trained. Even if she fell into trouble, she still had a backbone.

Tao Xi opened his mouth slowly, his eyes fell on her, "What do you know?"

"Slave servant Hong Fu, who can read and write, do some accounting and cook tea, and also know how to be a female celebrity and cook."

She was silent for a few seconds after she finished speaking. In fact, Tao Xi probably guessed that she was the eldest maid of the criminal minister's daughter, and she might know more than the daughter of a wealthy family in Yun County.

The master will know, and she will be able to hear and see a lot, not to mention helping the master to take care of things.

No wonder young masters from rich families like it.

Seeing that Tao Xi didn't speak, Hong Fu was a little anxious, but still very calm, just said:

"Those who don't know Hongfu can also learn."

Her eyes pleaded, because she knew that life would be much easier if Tao Xi bought her back.

After all, if her own appearance and identity were bought back as a plaything by that young master, she would not survive a few days.

Hong Fu, who has seen so many dirty things in Kyoto, can only pin her hopes on Tao Xi.

Tao Xi raised his eyes to look at Hong Fu, and suddenly said: "What happened to your former master?"

"Now she is the concubine of a certain adult family in Kyoto."

Hong Fu lowered her eyes, hiding the tears in her eyes, she is the master's servant, and the master sold her for the sake of future, Hong Fu can't even complain.

After all, the master committed a crime, and the master could not protect himself. She was already grateful to each of them for saving their lives.

Tao Xi smiled and said, "If you can guarantee that you will only be loyal to me in the future, I will buy you."

What she said was very straightforward, and she basically meant that if she met her former master, she hoped that Hongfu would remember her duty.

Hong Fu was stunned for a moment, hesitation flashed across his eyes, but he quickly said: "Don't worry, lady, you will be the only master of Hong Fu in the future."

The previous master had already sold her, and the relationship between the two was no longer in debt, and Hong Fu had nothing to miss.

Seeing that Tao Xi was silent, Hong Fu said again: "If the lady buys Hong Fu, Hong Fu will belong to the lady, and Hong Fu will never offend the male master of the house."

This means that she will never become the master's concubine?

Tao Xi slightly raised his lips, the red brush was rather interesting.

She probably knows what her face can bring.

"Well, you can stay."

Tao Xi nodded slightly, and Hong Fu immediately knelt down in front of Tao Xi, "Thank you, master, and please give me your name."

"From now on, your name will be Qing Zhi."

Tao Xi casually changed Hong Fu's name, and Qing Zhi quickly agreed gratefully.

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, she obediently stood behind Tao Xi, as expected of a maid trained by a big family, she was very witty.

Tao Xi expressed his satisfaction, and then looked at the other excited people, who were all waiting for Tao Xi to start buying.

Tao Xi frowned and glanced, but didn't see any satisfactory ones, so he waved and said, "Let's go to the next batch."

Granny Liu hurriedly asked people to take them away. Although there were some people who wanted to recommend themselves, they felt Granny Liu's death gaze, and quickly shrank their necks and did not speak.

Another group of people were brought up, and Mrs. Liu whispered to Tao Xi:

"These are all good at work, you pick and choose."

It seems that Granny Liu still took Tao Xi's words to heart, no wonder the business is doing so well.

Tao Xi nodded in satisfaction, and took a step forward to look at the few people, all of whom were managers in their thirties or forties.

Some people looked lonely, some were numb, some looked embarrassed, and some looked at Tao Xi with disdain.

After all, it's normal for some people to look down upon the rough linen clothes Tao Xi wears. Tao Xi would not choose if he is not free and despises others.

She looked at the other people and said, "All of you introduce yourself and why you were sold."

There are not many people who have been in charge, there are only five or six in total, and after removing those who disdain to follow Taoxi, there are only four left.

"The younger one's surname is Zhu Nu. He used to be a steward of Zhuangzi, but he was sold because the master's family fell."

"The younger one's surname is Chen Yu. He used to be the manager of the granary. During the drought, someone robbed the granary. The younger one was sold because he was incompetent."

"The younger one's surname is Liu Qian. He used to be the steward of the inn. He was also sold because of the downfall of the owner's family."

"The younger one's surname is Li Zhuang. He used to be the housekeeper of the mansion. He was also sold because of the downfall of the main family."

There are too many families that have fallen because of the disaster, but Tao Xi obviously feels that the two people behind are following what the person in front said.

Especially the last one, whose eyes were flickering, she didn't like it at a glance.

And the only woman among the four is the first woman surnamed Zhu. She is about thirty years old, looks a little bit old, and her legs are slightly sloping.
