Fair Lady

Chapter 12

When Lin and the others managed to tidy up the yard and house, everyone was full.

Zhen Dafu took out a small piece of silver and said fawningly: "These kitchen knives, spatulas, and those two drawer locks that were accidentally broken, I will leave a tael of silver as compensation. Look, the Lieutenant." ...?"

Zhang Shiwen looked at Shujie: "Brother Jie, since nothing was lost and your mother just left, why don't you just let them go? A wicked man will be rewarded with evil, and God will punish him." That foot will take half a year at least .

Shujie nodded: "I listen to Uncle Zhang."

Shuwen immediately ran over to take the money from Zhen Dafu and handed it to Aunt Li, who weighed it and nodded.

Zhen Dafu made an inch of it, and said again: "Yao girl, you don't like green bamboo anyway, why don't you give it to your grandmother? Your grandmother is getting old, it would be better if you have more servant girls around." He didn't forget what Cuizhu said just now, in case She was sold into a building, and she would really reveal everything.

Shuyao curled her lips: "My elder brother is about to sell the green bamboo for silver to hold a white banquet, the uncle's family has two restaurants, and he has to bring four servants with him when he goes out, so he is reluctant to buy an extra maid for his grandmother? "

"That's right." Sister-in-law Jiujin has never seen such a shameless person, "You, a son, don't honor your mother, but you want a six-year-old granddaughter with no father and no mother to send your grandmother a maid? Do you know what it means? Shameless?"

"..." Zhen Dafu gritted his teeth in hatred, he never expected a six-year-old girl to be so eloquent and impeccable, "Then I can buy it with money?"

Shu Yao nodded: "Yes, 300 taels"

"What? You can buy a hundred maids for 300 taels, you are robbing the money!" Lin yelled.Does this dead girl know how many things one tael of silver can buy?

In Dazhou, the general maids are between five or six taels and ten taels, and two or three taels are enough for young maids under the age of ten. This is all about dead deeds like Cuizhu, and living deeds are cheaper .

Shu Jie frowned: "You don't have to buy her, I don't want to sell her to you yet, my mother told me to sell her to the building."

Shuyao secretly gave her big brother a thumbs up, and obediently stood beside Shujie without saying a word, it's great to have a big brother here!

Cui Zhu rushed to Zhen Dafu and knelt down: "Master, Mr., hurry up and buy my body deed, I don't want to go to the building."

Zhen Dafu stared at Shujie and said bitterly: "Even if we sell her to the building, it will be at most 20 taels of silver, right?"

Shujie raised his chin coldly: "I am willing, my mother said to sell her to the building, I am willing even for a tael of silver."

After Zhang Shiwen and others listened and watched for so long, they immediately thought that Cuizhu colluded with Zhen Dafu and his wife in an attempt to sell Shuyao, and Zhen Zirou found out, so she must be punished after leaving the last words.Since Zhen Dafu is afraid of being exposed by Cuizhu and wants to buy her, it is right for him to spend some money. The three poor children are short of money. "Buying and selling is what you want. If you don't think it's worth it, just don't buy it. As for where and how much you want to sell it, what's your business?"

Lin shook her hand, and said to the four servants: "Why are you standing still, carry the master into the carriage, and let's go." She wouldn't be so dizzy that she bought green bamboo at the "sky-high price" of 300 taels of silver. A lazy and thoughtful maid.And her younger brother Lin Dayong has long wanted to get rid of this bitch, but they still have to use the green bamboo, so let Dayong stabilize her first.

"Lin Huaixiu, stop for me," Cuizhu was furious, and she ignored her life and death after using it up, it's not that easy! "If you dare to leave me today and take a step out of this door, I promise, let your Zhen family die with me, and I will hide all the evidence. Including your delicious building..."

"Shut up!" Sweat broke out on Zhen Dafu's forehead, "Xia Shujie, I bought the green bamboo, but I didn't bring so much money with me today, so please give me the deed first, and I will send someone to buy it tomorrow." Send 300 taels of silver notes over here."

"Puchi" Several people couldn't help laughing out loud.

Sister-in-law Ajuan sneered: "You are smart, but everyone else is a fool? You have to be a bit of a cheater, right? You pay the money and deliver the goods, you know?"

Zhen Dafu's face was flushed red, he really just wanted to cheat out of the deed, he didn't plan to actually send the banknote, but being exposed and laughed at by these people in person, he really couldn't hold back his face.

Shujie said coldly: "Okay, let's go. If you want green bamboo, you can go directly to Baihualou to redeem people tomorrow with a silver ticket."

Zhen Dafu knew that he would definitely not be able to take advantage of it today. This yard was against him, and there was always a strange air, so it was better to leave early.

He took out three bank notes from his pocket, each with a face value of 100 taels, exactly 300 taels, which was collected from the Zhuangzi yesterday, and had not been collected because he was in a hurry to leave.

"Tch, you are really a guy who is full of lies and lies. He even lied to three orphans and orphans. What kind of uncle are you? Don't come to Xitang Street in the future." Sun Da snatched the bank ticket Put it in front of Zhang Shiwen: "Li Chief, give me a test, this person is too untrustworthy."

Zhen Dafu glared at Sun Dafu contemptuously: "These are all bank notes from Huitong Bank, exchanged by the entire Zhou Dynasty. Each bank note has the peony watermark and special seal of Huitong Bank on it. Can it be faked?" , Few people have seen 100 taels of silver bills, have they?

Zhang Shiwen looked at it carefully, nodded and handed it to Shujie: "Give him the deed and let them go, so as not to be an eyesore here."

Shuyao ran into her room, quickly took out a piece of paper and handed it to Shujie. Shujie looked at it, signed on it to confirm the transfer, and asked Shuyao to use cinnabar ink pad to imprint her fingerprints. Pass it to Zhen Dafu: "You can go to the county government office to transfer the ownership."

Zhen Dafu and Lin's eyes turned red with anger, where did this damn girl hide her things?They searched the whole house but couldn't find it, they only had to dig three feet into the ground, okay?

Shuyao's big black eyes met Shang Lin's dead fish eyes: "My mother said, you can't see her when she is standing behind you, so how can you find where she puts things?"

Zhen Dafu and Mrs. Lin felt chills running down their backs, they turned their heads to look back at the same time, with frightened expressions on their faces: "Let's go."

Cuizhu also felt the wind blowing, she took a nap last night when she knelt before the coffin, and really dreamed that Zhen Zirou was spitting out her long blood-red tongue and asking for her life (she is a typical day thinking, I have dreams at night, I have ghosts in my heart, so my mind is full of ghosts).

Taking out the door key from her purse and returning it to Shuyao, Cuizhu chased after Zhen Dafu and his party as if fleeing for his life.

Shuyao looked at Cuizhu's back and said secretly: With the viciousness of Zhen Dafu and Lin's, now that they hold Cuizhu's body, why don't they shut her up immediately?

Zhang Shiwen said to Aunt Li and Sister-in-law Ajuan: "You live close together, so I ask you to take care of the three children. If there is anything wrong, ask someone to inform me, and I will come and see often."

Just as Aunt Li was about to speak, she heard crying from outside the door: "Ma'am, Hongmei is still a step late."

A cyan-colored figure rushed in staggeringly, followed by a four or five-year-old girl.

"Aunt Mei" Shuyao cried and rushed forward, here she comes, Aunt Mei finally came, she was finally able to hug Aunt Mei again.

Hongmei was originally Zhen Zirou's personal maid. When Zhen Zirou left Murong Mansion, he brought the eldest maid Hongmei and the younger maid Cuizhu with her.

Half a year after settling down in Yulin Town, Zhen Zirou released Hongmei's identity. Hongmei married one of Xia Linxuan's apprentices and returned to her hometown with him.

A month ago, Zhen Zirou learned that Hongmei's husband-in-law died of illness half a year ago, Hongmei and her four-year-old daughter were driven out of the house and rushed to a broken thatched hut, so she asked someone to bring a letter and money to Hongmei, so that their mother The girl came to Yulin Town.At that time Xia Linxuan had just left, otherwise Yen Zirou would have sent Xia Linxuan to pick him up.

In the previous life, when Hongmei arrived, Shuyao was about to leave with Zhen Dafu with her book, Hongmei cried and persuaded Shuyao despite the threat of Lin and others, saying that their siblings were indeed the daughters of Xia Linxuan and Zhen Zirou , but Shuyao, who was thoroughly brainwashed by Cuizhu and Lin, believed that she was a noble family lady, and her "biological father" who yearned for wealth in the capital sent someone to pick her up, but Shujie couldn't find the birthdays of her younger siblings paper, they had no choice but to watch them being taken away by Zhen Dafu.

At the age of 14, Shuyao was married to the foolish Ma Juntao "according to the marriage contract". After she escaped from the sedan chair in Ma's mansion and was almost sold into the building, Shuyao was bought by Hongmei with borrowed money, and she followed her mother and daughter She lived in the countryside incognito until Hongmei died of illness from overwork.

Fortunately, three years later, the Ma family was convicted, and the whole family died and exiled, so Shuyao was able to live in the sun again, no longer afraid of being taken back.

But in the end, Hongmei's daughter Xiutao was killed by Zhen Keling because of Shuyao.

Hongmei hugged Shuyao tightly: "Girl? Miss is so old? She really looks like a wife. Miss, Hongmei will burn incense sticks for the master and wife first."

Hongmei, who burned incense and kowtowed in front of the mourning hall, came out and kowtowed to the neighbors: "Hongmei thanked everyone for their help on behalf of my master and wife."

Everyone was startled, and Aunt Li hurried forward to help Hongmei: "What are you doing? Xia Butou and Xia Niangzi helped us so much during their lifetime, isn't this what we should do? What's more, everyone in the neighborhood You are here, we are worried that there are three children left in this family, and there is no one to take care of the housework." Aunt Li knew about Zhen Zirou sending a letter to Hongmei mother and daughter.

Hongmei choked up: "Don't worry, everyone, I, Hongmei, will take good care of the three little masters even if I beg for food." Hongmei has a good hand in making tofu.

Many of the neighbors present knew Hongmei and knew that she was the maidservant who had been with Zhen Zirou for many years, so they all believed her words.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, that's fine, although he is a servant from the past, but he is an adult who can take care of things anyway, at least someone has taken care of cooking and laundry, right?Then I explained again, "I can ask everyone for help if I have anything to do" and then left. Everyone is a poor person who works every day to make a living, and there are many things to be busy at home.
