The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 85
Along the way, Su's father was always smiling, saying hello to everyone, everyone thought Su's father picked up money on the way!The old doctor just smiled helplessly as he watched from the sidelines. He felt very helpless when he saw that Su's father was in his thirties and heard that he was a father again and looked like a kid.

The news of Su's mother's pregnancy dissipated in Huaxi Village like this, and those who had good friends with Su Ling's family would bring a few eggs to see Su's mother, so that they could make up for Su's mother.

After Su's mother became pregnant, the happiest thing was Su He. Hearing that she had another younger brother, she showed off to her friends all day long, causing those friends to go back to their parents to ask for a younger brother.

In order to let Su's mother feel at ease, Su's father and Su Ling did not let Su's mother do any work. Even the meals for a few days were prepared by Su Ling alone. For the family's meals, Although Su Ling doesn't hate it, but he doesn't want to waste time on it, so the family urgently needs a cook. Su Muhuai also needs someone to take care of her, so she has to buy a maid. This is Su Ling's feeling now.

In order to get rid of the title of "cooking lady" as soon as possible, Su Ling arrived at Qingshi Town early the next morning. If he wanted to ask Su Ling why he came so early, it was of course to buy a maid.

Although Su Ling has never bought a maidservant, she also knows that if she wants to buy a maidservant, she must go to a tooth shop. In the Huangfu Empire, buying and selling people is not a crime. Rich people always have servants in their homes, but the number of servants depends on the number of servants. There is a certain number of high-ranking officials in the family, but there are not so many restrictions in the ordinary businessman's family.

Although Su Ling could go to the dental shop to do business by herself, she was still relatively young after all, so she was afraid that people would not be convinced, so she still asked Shopkeeper Qian for help. Naturally, Shopkeeper Qian was extremely happy for such a small favor.

"I just met a Yazi in the dental shop, and I can ask him to help introduce it." Shopkeeper Qian said.

"It seems that I really did the right thing when I asked Uncle Qian for help."

When the two arrived at the shop, Yazi (Zhu Yazi), who happened to be acquainted by shopkeeper Qian, was also there. Seeing shopkeeper Qian greeted him with a smile on his face. That Ren Yazi was very familiar with Shopkeeper Qian, and when he saw him this time, he knew that there was a business coming, so he was very considerate.

Su Ling said his request, he needs six little maids, one cook, preferably a woman, not too old.

When Zhu Yazi heard that Su Ling needed so many people, he was very happy. He took out all the candidates on hand for Su Ling to choose. Su Ling couldn't be sure just by looking at the names, so he had to call Zhu Yazi to call out all the candidates. voila.

Zhu Yazi couldn't refuse Su Ling's request, so he called out all the people in his hands. In the end, Su Ling picked six little maids, two of them were about fourteen or five years old, and they were more mature. Put it beside Su's mother to serve, and the remaining four are the two and three. She put the two cubs next to each other, and Su Ho also needs two to serve. After all, Su's mother is pregnant now, and she doesn't have so much time. take care of her.

Originally, Su Ling didn't intend to buy a servant, but among the many people, there was a thin and frail one, who looked only eight or nine years old!As soon as he saw Su Ling, he knelt down in front of him and begged Su Ling to buy him!

From his words, Su Ling understood that he was originally a servant for the young master in the official family. He is already 12 years old this year, but for some reason he offended the young master and was sold.I also learned that he has been sold several times, and each time he stayed in a master's house for a short time, because he spoke with a big tongue, and he paused when he spoke. Always being bullied by other servants.

From it, Su Ling also knew that he had learned some characters when he was with the first master, so he could read. Su Ling saw his poor background, and thought that everyone who served Su Dong around him was not good enough, so he also bought him. down.

It's just that when it comes to choosing a cook, Su Ling is a bit difficult to choose. There is a woman who cooks, she is older, but the man cooks good dishes first-hand, and there is another one who used to be in the kitchen of a rich family She was a helper here, she was born in a family, and she married a boy from the same family, but her husband died two years ago, and she was also kicked out, with a four or five-year-old daughter, thin and emaciated Weak, it looks like she is malnourished, Su Ling seems to be able to see the former Su Ho from this little girl.

That lady looks kind and good-natured, and she is good at cooking good dishes. She is not worried that no one will buy her, but every time she wants to buy her, she always puts forward an additional condition that she will be attached to her daughter. They bought it together, and those people are not fools. The little girl is only four or five years old, and she can't do much work after buying it, so she didn't buy her in the end. She also stayed in the dental shop for a long time. If no one buys her again , their mother and daughter will be separated.

Seeing that Su Ling felt compassion, even though the little girl still wanted five liang of silver more, Su Ling finally decided to buy them both. I want to thank Su Ling on the ground, Su Ling can't stand these ancient people kneeling all day long, and stopped the movement of the mother and daughter.

The mother and daughter thought they had offended Su Ling and were at a loss!Su Ling didn't explain too much, how much He Renyazi would cost!

Each servant girl needs eight taels of silver, and Xiaosi and that woman are the same, but the little girl needs another five taels of silver, so Su Ling spent a total of 69 taels of silver to buy these nine people. Zhu Yazi was given an introduction fee of one or two taels of silver, and asked him to help keep an eye on long-term workers who could farm.

Zhu Yazi was very happy after receiving the money, and naturally complied with Su Ling's request.

Su Ling led the nine people out.

"This time, I really want to thank Uncle Qian." Su Ling expressed his gratitude to Shopkeeper Qian.

"Ling'er is being polite to me here."

Su Ling saw that the clothes on the nine people were relatively thin. Once they got out of the dental clinic, they trembled when the wind blew outside. Thinking that this would not work, they brought the nine people to Li's Cloth Village, and helped them One of them bought a thick winter coat, and asked the waiter in the store to rent a carriage for him.

These people saw that Su Ling had already bought them such good clothes before they started working, and they were very touched. The previous owner didn't say that he gave them clothes, and hunger, punches and kicks were common occurrences. The thing is that Su Ling also told them that the Su family is in the country. If they don't want to, she will not force them to buy them. They didn't say anything, it was rare to meet such a kind master, they were all very happy.

Su Ling also pulled a few more bolts of navy blue cloth in the cloth shop, which was used to make quilts for them, and it was definitely too late to make them today, so he bought two more ready-made quilts, and also bought dozens of quilts. Catches of fine cotton, cotton quilts.
