farmer's wife

Chapter 2 Coveted
Qiaolan raised her head to look at Fu Yan who was standing silently by the side, and then at the young lady who pushed the silver towards her, with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Miss? Do you want to buy something?"

Zhao Yunyan shook his head.

"You two have been with me for more than ten years, and you have reached the age where you can leave the house to marry. There are 40 taels of silver here, and 20 taels of silver for each of you. Let it be my dowry for you."

"Miss! Servants don't leave the house!" Qiaolan was stunned when she heard the news suddenly.

"This servant is willing to serve Miss all the time, please don't drive us out of the house!"

Qiaolan suddenly knelt down and cried to Zhao Yunyan.

"I have to go back to Beijing in two days. I don't know what kind of encounter I will have. You have also reached the age of marriage. Why don't you think about it now and leave the mansion as soon as possible to live your own good life."

"Shuizhu, take Qiaolan down and wash up. You all should think about it too." Zhao Yunyan ordered.

Fu Yan picked up Qiaolan who was sobbing and choking, and went back to the backyard shelter.

"Shuizhu, did you already know what the girl wants?" Qiaolan asked the silent Fu Yan beside her.

"What do you think? Our mansion is so nice, do you want to go out and match up with a farm boy?"

Fu Yan was helpless, in fact, she didn't really want to discuss this matter with Qiaolan.

After working together for so many years, Qiaolan has always seen how she behaves.

Since it was bought by Mrs. Xian, it was trained and sent to Miss.

Although they are maids and servants, they mainly play with the young lady in daily life, read and practice calligraphy, and do red embroidery.Even Mrs. Fang, the head of the family, never intentionally treated the young lady harshly because of face.

You don't need to do some rough work, even if you are the maid of the master's house, compared to the girls from the peasants outside, you are still pampered.

Qiaolan has fair skin, small features, and a cute appearance. She thinks she is not inferior to Fu Yan and other maids in the mansion.

There is only one young master in the Zhao family, so it is inevitable that some thoughts have been moved.

On weekdays, if I have the opportunity to go to the lobby, front yard, main yard, etc. to do errands and deliver things, in order to see the young master once, I always compete with Fu Yan to go there.

Of course, Fu Yan was eager to give her all these opportunities.

Individuals have their own minds, individuals have their own fate, and they cannot be forced.

Fu Yan bypassed Qiaolan, tidied up the clothes in the room, and said calmly: "I listen to the girl. The girl kindly let us go out of the house, and I am also willing. I will remember the girl's kindness for the rest of my life."

"Oh, do you think you can live a good life after leaving the mansion? Go to the corner gate and ask, how many little girls outside are begging to come to our mansion to do things!"

"Marrying a farmer who sweats and works in the yellow land every day, how can it be compared to... how can it be compared to..."

Seeing that Fu Yan was as dull as a piece of wood, Qiaolan stomped her feet, "Oh! I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to find Miss and Nanny Li! Anyway, I'm going to serve Miss all the time."

After speaking, he left the door and went straight to the front yard.

Fu Yan folded the clothes slowly, not in a hurry.

Zhao Yunyan is kind-hearted and tenacious. He doesn't usually take the initiative to chat, but he always has his own thoughts in his heart, and he is not a soft-hearted person.

For more than ten years, Fu Yan has also taken care of her as a younger sister. She originally wanted to take advantage of the friendship between master and servant over the years, and she planned to find an opportunity to explain to the young lady her idea of ​​redeeming herself and leaving the house before the Zhao family returned to Beijing. .Unexpectedly, because of the perverted Second Young Master Zhao, the miss took the initiative to realize that she was willing to let her out of the house.

What a stroke of luck.The deed of prostitution was controlled, the anxiety of being a slave, the uncontrollable pain of fate.Fu Yan can't wait to count the days of freedom coming soon.

What are you afraid of?

In the modern age of more than 20 years, didn't I also work alone in the society?

**
After lunch that day, Fu Yan and Nanny Li accompanied Zhao Yunyan for a walk in the back garden to digest food.

Tired from walking, the three retreated into a small cave in the rockery to sit and rest.

"Master, I have found it!"

"Say it!"

The three of them looked at each other, and it was Zhao Chengxin and his servant who could appear in the Zhao family's back house.

"The young one was looking for someone who was on duty outside the master's study that day. I heard that the eldest lady came to find the master to let the two maidservants beside her go out of the house to get married."

"Who is the water bamboo given to?" Zhao Chengxin asked quickly.

"No, no, no! I've asked the cook and the woman in the embroidery room, but I haven't heard who Shuizhu girl will be assigned to."

"I'm out of the house, what should I do if I don't go back to Beijing with us?" Zhao Chengxin was a little impatient.

He couldn't go to his father to stop him just because of a maid, the old man often scolded him for not being motivated.Just don't get close to scolding!

The little servant Cuisong rolled his eyes, leaned over obscenely and said, "Don't worry, young master, this is a good thing!"

"Good thing? Tell me quickly, don't give me a pass!"

"Miss Shuizhu is about to be released from the mansion. She hasn't settled with someone yet. She has to find a place to settle down first. She is a little maid whose parents have both died. She is not blind when she comes out of the mansion! Let's take this opportunity Take her away, and give him a few days as a concubine to try something new!"

"Makes sense! Makes sense!"

Zhao Chengxin tapped Cuisong's head with his arty folding fan, and laughed and cursed happily, "I never thought you would have such a trick."

"It's thanks to the young master who brings the little one to see the world on weekdays, so the little one can solve the worries and problems for the master."

"Hahaha, good! Grandpa rewards you with a meal in Zhenbaolou. Let's go!"

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!" Cui Song followed Zhao Chengxin out of the garden.

The three people resting in the rockery looked solemn.

Fu Yan clenched her fists and lowered her eyes to cover the anger and hatred in her eyes.

If this was in modern times, she could still go up and put on a sack by herself and beat up a toad!But now, her status prevents her from doing anything.

Zhao Yunyan took her little hand and patted it, "Don't be afraid, I won't let you fall to that point."

"Second brother has a wicked heart but no guts. If you are appointed to marry him out of the house, he will not dare to harass you with petty actions. Father cares about face and reputation. If he finds out, madam will not be able to protect him."

Fu Yan felt relieved, setting a private room and forcing a married woman were two different things. The former might just be a romantic affair, while the latter would have to face a lawsuit.

But right now, there are less than ten days before leaving the mansion, where can I find a ready-made husband?
Fu Yan and Zhao Yunyan fell into deep thought.

Nanny Li looked at Fu Yan. After the first wife left, she came to take care of the young lady. She watched the young lady and the two servant girls grow up.Fu Yan has a steady and calm personality, is careful and down-to-earth, and takes good care of the young lady.Qiaolan likes to be pretty, a little lively, but which little girl doesn't like to be pretty?They are all good boys.

Nanny Li said cautiously: "Miss, there are two candidates for the old lady. They are both hard-working and unmarried young men who are honest and willing to work. Listen to see if they are suitable for you?"
