pastoral wedding

Chapter 33

There are several prostitutes in Qingshi Town who make a living by buying and selling maids. Their character is not bad, and they seldom lie to customers. After all, if they buy bad maids and are found out, they will ruin their jobs.So Su Jin and her mother didn't choose anything, and went straight to a prostitute's house and knocked on the door.

This prostitute's surname is Wang, and she owns a big house in Qingshi Town, so her business is doing well, and several wealthy households in the town buy their maids from her, because most of the maids here are trained and know how to behave.The people who came to see the door asked clearly that they were here to buy maids, so they let them in.Today, their mother and daughter dressed up specially. Mrs. Liu wore a pomegranate red wishful cloud pattern spring shirt, with an auspicious wishful jade hairpin on her hair, and a gold inlaid jade inlaid jewelry bracelet on her wrist. The whole person is shining golden Su Jin wore a splendid spring shirt with double butterfly and tinsel flowers, underneath was a crescent phoenix-tailed skirt that reached to the ankles, covering the upper of the shoe, revealing only a pink hibiscus flower that was just about to bloom.

The gatekeepers are the most inferior people, so they wear them deliberately, because they are afraid of being looked down upon by others, or even dismissed casually by this old lady.

When the guests came, Wang Yapo greeted them in person. After learning about the intention of the mother and daughter, she sent people to call the maids to come. Seeing that although their clothes are not as good as those of the Han, Yang and Zhu families, they are not ordinary people, maybe they are also merchants with business at home, so naturally they dare not treat them poorly, and asked them to bring the best maids over.

A dozen or so maidservants came here, all of them were good-looking and well-figured. Su Jin asked a few words, knowing that these people were carefully selected and trained for a long time, and their behavior was unruly. It's inappropriate, but her family is not a big family, and their sisters are not great ladies. What she wants is a servant girl who can work, not a big sister who stays with the girls.

Seeing Su Jin shaking her head, Wang Mi, who is good at observing words and expressions, found that the mother and daughter are more capable of making decisions, so she quickly approached and asked: "Miss is not satisfied, this is the best maid here, everyone They were all carefully cultivated by me, even the three households of Han Yang and Zhu's family are full of praise for my maids here."

Su Jin still wanted to listen, so Wang Miba had no choice but to ask patiently, "What does the girl want?"

"A maid who can do rough work." Su Jin replied.

This is easy to handle, there are not many first-class maids like this in her place, there are only a few of them in total, but there are many maids who do rough work.Wang Yapo waved these maids to retreat, and asked to bring out a dozen other maids.These maids don't need to look carefully to know that they are used to rough work, because they all have calluses on their hands.Su Jin stepped forward and asked, "Among you, who thinks you are the most able to endure hardship? Who is used to doing rough work at home? What I want is a maid who does rough work. If you are willing, you can take a step forward and stand up. "

When she asked this question, quite a few people stood up.She asked again, "Is there anyone who can read and write and settle accounts?"

Now there are fewer people standing up, only a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old wearing a blue coarse cloth dress stood up, Su Jin was a little surprised, she just asked with hope, if she asked this question in the last group just now Well, there are sure to be many people who stand up, but it is really surprising that some of these people can read.

"You can read?" Su Jin walked up to her and looked at her face. This face is not pretty, at most it is pretty, but the eyes are big, which is very attractive. Su Jin likes this side fuck her.This girl has to look pleasing to her own eyes, otherwise she can't see her when she looks up all day long, and it's not bad enough to look at her.

"I can recognize a few words."

"How did you learn it?" Su Jin was only curious.

The girl bowed her head, "It's my elder brother who has attended a private school for several years and taught me how to read a few words."

"Can you settle accounts?" Su Jin asked again, this is the most important thing.

"Well," the girl nodded, "Our family has sold vegetables before, and it was me and my mother who sold vegetables. I don't understand the big accounts, but the small accounts can be calculated."

That being the case, the family background should be good, how could it be reduced to the point of being a maid for others. "Then why do you come here, why do you want to be a servant girl?"

The girl's head drooped even lower. "There are three older sisters in the family, one older brother, and another younger brother. I can't afford to support too many idlers. The older sisters are all grown up. Only I can be sold as a maid."

Su Jin silently sighed in her heart, she now misses the family planning in her previous life very much, if she has more children, she will sell them, then it is better to have fewer children, at least she can keep them by her side, even if it is a poor life , but also a good family together. "Mom, it's her."

Liu Shi was also very sad when she heard that, and nodded when she heard her daughter say that.

When the girl stood up, her face was full of joy, she immediately knelt down to kowtow to Su Jin and Liu Shi, and then stood aside.

Su Jin asked again, "Is there anyone who can cook?"

Many maidservants stood up, and Su Jin asked one by one what they were good at, but it turned out that they were all children from poor families, and they just helped cook at home.Su Jin frowned, and picked out one that looked rather delicate and dexterous.

He also asked if there was anyone who could do needlework, and several maids said yes, so they asked them to show their embroidery work, and picked two of them.Seeing her daughter asking this question, Mrs. Liu nodded secretly. No one in her family can do needlework except the eldest daughter. When the eldest daughter gets married, there shouldn't be someone in the family who can help with sewing.

Waiting patiently for her to finish picking, Wang Miba came up to her and said with a smile, "The girl wants to be good at cooking? I happen to have a good candidate here."

"Oh?" Su Jin said with interest, "Why didn't the matchmaker come out and let my mother and I have a look?"

Then Wang Mima was just waiting for this sentence, and when she saw it, she asked someone to bring it.It was a middle-aged couple who came, and they both seemed to be honest.Mistress Wang introduced: "These couple have no children. They used to work in a restaurant in the capital, but the bigger the restaurant, the more people there are, and the more things happened. No, they were framed and said they stole the guests. I just went to jail, which one would dare to use it after I came out of the prison, and sold it to make a living. I originally only accepted young girls here, but seeing them is too pitiful, so honest People are really rare, so we have to find a good home for them, I see that this lady and girl are all kind-hearted, I wonder if we can take them in?"

It sounds really pitiful, but it's really surprising that Wang Mima can do such a kind thing.Su Jin looked at her mother, she could be the one who bought a maid, but the two of them were both around forty, about the same age as her parents, so she didn't dare to make the decision.

"Okay, we'll take it." Mrs. Liu is the most enthusiastic one. Hearing this, he was already moved in a mess. Anyway, the restaurant needs manpower for its new opening, and there is no shortage of these two couples at home. Take them in.

A small servant girl costs eight taels to ten taels. The batch I saw before probably sold for about 15 taels. These rough things make the maids cheap. To thank them for taking in the couple, Wang Mipo took eight taels from each maid. Two taels of silver, the couple paid 20 taels of silver according to their selling price, a total of 28 taels of silver. Liu paid the bill happily. people look down on.

Liu's mother and daughter went out and hired two carriages to take them back. Liu touched the six deeds of prostitution on his chest, and his heart was full of joy. There is no need for them to do anything else, they all say that daughters need to be raised carefully, isn't that the case, now that the conditions are met, she must return all the debts to her daughters.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Su Wenshan and his two daughters had already tidied up everything inside and out, and all the furniture had been placed neatly.Liu Shumin and Jiang Shi also came to help with their two daughters, and Jiang Shi also spoke for Liu Shugang, "Your second uncle wanted to come to help, but when he arrived at our house, your second uncle took him back to the field, you don't want to Blame him, he is also powerless."

Mrs. Liu pulled her eldest brother and sister-in-law to sit down in the front hall, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law needn't say this, that's my second brother, how can I not know? He's an honest guy, locked up by his wife."

Su Wenshan sat by the side and saw that she only talked to her natal family, so she went to ask the maid bought by Su Jin. Su Jin talked about them one by one, and focused on the couple. Su Wenshan is also a real person, after listening to them He also felt sorry for the matter, and said: "It just so happens that our cooks haven't hired cooks yet, so we just let them do this job."

But Su Jin said, "I just heard from the granny Wang that their cooking skills are good, but I haven't tasted it yet, why don't we try it now that my uncle's family is here."

Standing behind her, Mu Lin and her mother-in-law Zeng agreed, and Su Jin asked his father to lead them to the kitchen.The remaining four maids were bought for their sisters, and they took them to the backyard, where her two older sisters, Liu Ya and Cousin Yi were cleaning the house.

After saying hello to Liu Ya and Liu Yi, she said to her two older sisters: "Elder Sister, Second Sister, these maids were bought by my mother to serve us. Let's see which one to choose." Su Jin turned her eyes Seeing the girl she picked out who could read and settle accounts, "I'll take this one, you can pick the rest, mother said, the eldest sister is going to get married soon, give the eldest sister two, the second sister and me each one. "After saying this, Su Zhen felt awkward. This is a human being. It's like buying fruits, one for each person and two for each person.

Su Tang gave the second sister a push when he heard the words, "Go and pick first."

Su Shuang shook her head, took a look and continued to work with her head down, "I don't need a maid."

At this time, Mrs. Liu brought her eldest brother and sister-in-law to visit the backyard. After hearing this, she reprimanded with a straight face: "A girl's house should look like a girl's house. In the past, our family's conditions were not good and we couldn't afford a maid, but now we can afford it." Yes, I bought it for you, and you just use it. Do you want me to return it? Your sisters and sisters have it, but you don’t care about it.”
