Start from Wanjie Live

Chapter 229
Wuyou originally planned for her to live alone and did not think about buying slaves.

But now, she has plans to hire a helper.

However, it is not easy to discuss this kind of thing with Gong Zizheng. After all, he is still young and may not know where the market is.

Wuyou plans to visit Zhao Ji tomorrow and ask Zhao Ji about these things.

She got up and found a book and handed it to Gong Zizheng: "Read it if you have time."

After thinking about it, Wuyou took another pack of candles and handed them over: "Light it at night, it will save your eyesight."

Gong Zizheng took the book and candle and left happily.

Wuyou spent an extremely inconvenient night.

The next day she changed her clothes and put on a face scarf to pour night fragrance. Needless to say, she was a little embarrassed the first time.

After pouring the night fragrance, she washed her hands several times before going to cook.

Now that the stove was ready for use, Wuyou put the iron pot on and started cooking.

I made a simple meal in the morning and made quick-frozen dumplings directly.

She first cooked some for herself, then cooked some more, put it on a plate, put it in a food box, and took it to Gong Zizheng's home.

Standing at the door, Wuyou raised his hand and knocked on the courtyard door.

After a while, Gong Zizheng opened the door: "Immortal?"

Wuyou smiled: "I'm here to deliver food to you."

"Zheng'er, who is it?" A woman's voice came from the room. It sounded soft and soft, but it also seemed to have a hook, making people feel soft after hearing it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wuyou saw a woman wearing linen clothes walking out of the house.

The woman is in her 20s and is wearing white linen clothes. It is said to be white linen clothes, but she also knows where the conditions for dyeing linen clothes are available. Most of these clothes are natural colors, and they are yellowish and look old. It feels a little dirty.

Her long, black hair was coiled on top of her head, fixed with only a wooden hairpin.

It was such a simple dress, but it couldn't hide the woman's appearance at all.

How should I put it, the woman's features are not particularly exquisite, but the combination of her facial features is very beautiful, that kind of soft and charming, with an indescribable feminine charm.

Wuyou looked at the woman, and the woman also looked at her.

"Please come in."

Wuyou came in with a food box: "I cooked some food and there was too much, so I brought some over... You haven't had a meal yet, have you?"

The woman smiled and shook her head: "Not yet, thank you very much for thinking about me."

Gong Zizheng had already taken the food box and carried it into the house.

Wuyou also followed into the house.

"Don't dislike the simplicity of our home." The woman's voice was really soft and soft.

She just finished saying this, Gong Zizheng already cheered: "Dumplings, Aniang, the lady has brought dumplings."

"Dumplings?" That woman was Zhao Ji. She frowned in confusion and thought to herself, what is this dumpling?

Wuyou smiled and said, "It's a kind of food I made. It tastes very good..."

Gong Zizheng came over and pulled Zhao Ji to sit down, and then handed her chopsticks.

The two of them ate several dumplings in front of Wuyou.

This dumpling tastes really good. It is something Zhao Ji has never tasted before. The rich texture makes Zhao Ji almost cry.

She ate the last few dumplings very slowly and seemed to cherish them very much.

After dinner, Gong Zizheng went to wash the dishes, while Wuyou and Zhao Ji sat across from each other and talked.

"I came here this time, firstly to bring food, and secondly to ask Madam for advice on something." Zhao Ji smiled and said, "My lady, please tell me."

Wuyou told her about the person she wanted to buy.

Zhao Ji laughed when she heard it: "I thought it was something difficult, but it turned out to be this, this is easy to handle...".She pointed towards the north: "There is an alley across from us. The family in the back can't live anymore and is thinking of selling themselves. The only thing is that her mother-in-law doesn't want to separate. Who can If the family wants to buy something, they have to buy it together. I wonder what the girl’s plan is?”

"Selling yourself?" Wuyou was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Ji saw her hesitation and sighed: "We were all forced to have no choice. The men in that family were tricked and killed during the Changping War. The two of them couldn't live together. After a few years, the girl in her family got engaged. When the girl's fiancée grew up and the girl got married, she would help her mother from time to time, which was fine. But who knew that the girl's husband did not carry him when he was doing corvee work and then died. Her husband's family disliked the girl's husband and drove her back to her parents' home. , The two of us lived a very miserable life."

Wuyou understood that there was no man in the family and life could not go on anymore, so he had to take this step.

She originally thought that if that didn't work, she would hire these two women.

In Wuyou's mind, buying and selling people is illegal, and she also feels that buying people is wrong.

However, Zhao Ji seemed to have seen her thoughts: "If the girl is using someone, it is better to buy it. The possibility of betraying the owner is small. If you hire someone, the girl will be the only master in the family. What kind of thoughts...or if someone gives them more money, there is no guarantee that the girl will not be betrayed."

Wuyou knew that he was wrong.

This was an ancient time with frequent battles with enemies, and human life was not valuable here. If someone plotted against her one day, she would find someone to reason with.

Times are different, concepts are different, and the way we behave and deal with things is even different. Now that we are here, we have to act according to the concepts of the people here.

"Thank you, madam, for your advice." Wuyou thanked Zhao Ji: "Madam, if you know that house, please help me ask."

This was easy to handle, so Zhao Ji readily agreed.

The final result was that this afternoon, Wuyou got two servants who signed the death contract without spending any money.

The two women really couldn't live any longer. They didn't ask for any money for selling themselves, they just wanted a place to stay, enough to eat, and not to freeze to death in winter.

After signing the body contract, Wuyou has to take care of the couple's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

She sent Zhao Ji and Gong Zizheng away and turned around to look at the two of them.

It really is……

It looks really pathetic.

I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve eaten anything. The two of them were skinny and skinny, and at first glance, they looked a bit scary.

Moreover, the clothes of the two people were so torn that they could hardly cover their bodies.

Their hair was also messy, looking like two clumps of dead grass on their heads.

People are like this, so they must not be allowed to do any work in the past few days. This requires a few days to recuperate the body, replenish it first, and then do some light work. Later, when you recover slowly, you can take over all the housework.

Wuyou called people into the room and asked softly: "What are your names?"

The girl didn't say anything, and her mother-in-law said feebly: "Please give me a name, Master."

Wuyou thought for a moment: "What's your aunt's last name?"

The aunt said: "My maiden name is Yu, and my husband's surname is Zhang."

Wuyou smiled: "Then I'll call you Yu Auntie. It's late spring now, and there are already green apricots hanging on the branches, so your daughter can call you Qingxing."

Qingxing stood up and said, "Thank you, Master, for the name."

Wuyou waved her hands, and she turned back to the house. When she came out, she brought two bowls of porridge and handed them to Aunt Yu and Qing Xing: "Eat some first, I will get you some fabric later, and you can make two sets of clothes to wear first."

With these two bowls of millet porridge in front of them, Aunt Yu and Qing Xing burst into tears immediately after seeing them.

Such thick corn porridge was not available even when there were men in the family. Sometimes I could only try a few mouthfuls during the New Year... As for now, I can't even eat beans and rice. The two of them have started to collect leaves and peel the bark of trees to eat. We have almost eaten all the leaves on the trees at home. If we continue like this, we will probably eat dirt.

Qingxing cried as she picked up the porridge and drank it.

Aunt Yu hit her: "Slow down, drink less, don't burst your intestines."
