The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 26 Buying a Slave
"If you make money, Dad will naturally persevere. But if you lose money, and the rest of the family needs money urgently, do you think Dad will not cut meat to save lives?"

In the memory of the eldest grandson Jingrong, the family saw that his father was soft-hearted and not good at management, so he secretly framed him and made him owe a huge sum of money. In the end, he had no choice but to sell the silk and satin to his uncle to ease the predicament.However, the situation of this silk and satin factory changed drastically under the hands of the uncle, and it began to thrive.On the one hand, the uncle is good at management, and on the other hand, the family has long been eyeing the silk and satin shop, and pressure from all sides made Dad lose confidence in the silk and satin shop, so he handed over the shop without warning.Hmph, it's really a good plan, but from now on, her eldest grandson Jingrong will protect everything in the family, and will not give outsiders a chance to touch anything!
Patting Bihe on the shoulder, the eldest grandson Jingrong said: "Okay, this is not something this little brain can figure out. Hurry up and get a carriage, I'm going to the market to pick a reliable servant and come back .”

With a flick of her ears, Bi He said sharply: "What servant does Miss want to choose? Is there no one you like in our house?"

"The people in the family know the basics, but it's hard to say who their hearts are for. Compared with guessing people's hearts, it's better to choose a new one and cultivate it from scratch."

Nodding thoughtfully, Bi He said: "It is true that we must find a reliable person for Miss. When you walk in the business world, you will inevitably need someone to protect you. Well, it's best to be able to protect you with some kung fu. You can't be a rough person who doesn't understand anything, it's too much effort to talk like that. The most important thing is to have a good character, be sincere to you, and..."

"Okay, let's go and see if there is a match first." Changsun Jingrong shook his head helplessly, and walked forward and said, "With the conditions you put forward, it is more than enough to be an imperial guard. Where else can you come?" Be my servant?"

"It's also a good job to be a servant for you, miss. I think it's better than working in the palace." Bi He whispered behind her, thinking that her eldest grandson Jingrong didn't hear it, but she didn't know that the corner of her eldest grandson Jingrong's mouth had already been slightly Tilted up.

……

Because I went out late, the human-trafficking gathering in the market had dispersed, and there were only maidservants in twos and threes, and let those maids bask in the sun, while he hid in the shade, drinking tea and wine, completely ignoring those maidservants. The life and death of the servant girl.

Walking over step by step, Bihe quietly clenched her palms tightly, looking at the dirty-faced and thin female slaves, feeling deep sympathy for them.

The eldest grandson Jingrong also noticed Bihe's change, turned around and said, "Come again another day, today's gathering has already dispersed, it seems that we can't find a suitable servant."

"Miss, do you want to choose a servant?"

A middle-aged man was hiding in the shade of a tree and eating melon seeds. Hearing the conversation between the master and servant, he hurriedly approached with a smile, bowed and said, "The strong servant will arrive tomorrow, but I still have a few female slaves on hand." , Miss can take a look."

"We don't need female slaves." Bi He waved her hand and said, "Since there are only slaves to choose tomorrow, Miss, let's come back tomorrow."

Seeing that Bi He was about to leave, the man hurriedly stood in front of her, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't rush to leave, my female slaves are all very exciting, young and beautiful!"

Glancing at the thin and small female slaves, Bi He had a mocking smile on her face.

The man also seemed to feel that he was exaggerating too much, so he hurriedly explained: "Hey, don't look at them so gray now, go back and wash them, they are all beautiful and juicy, there is nothing to choose! Otherwise, you are here today. Choose a female slave here, if you come to buy a slave tomorrow, I will give you a discount, how about it?"

"Spend money to buy things you don't need, you think we are fools, stop talking, come back tomorrow, come back tomorrow!"

"Girl, come back tomorrow, but it's not the price I told you today."

"We only care about the character, not the price!"

……

Just as Bihe was exchanging words with that man, Changsun Jingrong's gaze was already attracted by a female slave in the cage.

Through the iron cage, a woman in ragged clothes curled up into a ball, her face was covered with stains, the original color of the clothes on her body could not be seen, and the smell of sweat made people just want to cover their noses.It's just that this female slave has a pair of very bright eyes, which are black and white.When she heard Bihe's voice, she looked over secretly.Seeing that her eldest grandson Jingrong was looking at her, the woman hurriedly turned her gaze.But after a while, she mustered up her courage again, turned her head, and looked at her eldest grandson Jingrong.

Seeming to find it very interesting, Changsun Jingrong kept looking at her, and finally stretched out his finger, pointed at the woman, and said, "I bought that slave girl."

The trafficker turned his head to look at it, and immediately opened his eyes with a smile, and said, "Oh, miss, you really have eyes. This girl is the only one among these female slaves who can read and write. She was also an official lady before, and she became a slave because something happened at home. Ji. Originally, she was sold to a rich family as a maid, but later she contradicted her master and was sold to me. Since you like it, you can buy it with only fifty pennies."

"Fifty guan!?" Bihe screamed, and said, "You are stealing money, our eldest grandson's house can buy two of the fifty guan. I only have thirty guan. If you agree, we can buy it now Take people away."

"This..." the human trafficker gritted his teeth, and said reluctantly, "That's all, since you have already opened your mouth, let's take it away."

Taking the money with one hand, the man opened the iron cage with the other hand, dragged the girl out, and said in his mouth, "Fortunately, you are favored by the noble. Don't contradict your master again in the future, next time You may not have such good luck!"

When the female slave was dragged out of the iron cage, she staggered, grabbed the iron railing with both hands, stabilized her body, then slowly raised her head, and took a deep look at Changsun Jingrong.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Bi He probably didn't have a full meal for many days, and it would be difficult to walk back, so she wanted to hire a donkey to transport her back.

But the eldest grandson Jingrong stopped Bihe and asked her to bring the carriage.

Looking at the posture of Changsun Jingrong, it seems that he wants to sit in the same car with this female slave.Bi He felt that something was wrong, so she said: "Miss, this female slave is so dirty, how can she sit with you? It is better to send her to be cleaned first, and then come to serve you after seeing the doctor."

"But she is very weak now, and she may have fainted by the time you find the donkey. It's a very important moment, don't mind those, and you don't want the money I just spent, so let's just waste it now."

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong insisted, Bihe had no choice but to find a clean cloth and spread it on the place where the slave girl sat and leaned against, and then helped her into the carriage.

After sitting firmly with the female slave, Changsun Jingrong looked at the female slave opposite, handed over a water bag, and asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

The female slave seemed to be thirsty too, she picked up the water bag and drank it clean, then licked her lips and said, "The previous master called me Cuilian."

"I'm not asking what name your master gave you, but what your parents gave you."

The maid was stunned, lowered her head, and said in a low mood: "I have lost that name, and I have been ineligible since I was enslaved."

"A name is a label, but it is also a memory of the past. When you were born, your parents racked their brains with beautiful fantasies, consulted the classics, and gave you the name they came up with. Do you really want to discard it? "

Clenching her palms tightly, the woman said in a low voice, "My real name is Qiao Shan'er."

"Shan'er? It's indeed a beautiful name. You can still use this name in the future."

Looking up at her eldest grandson Jingrong, Qiao Shaner asked cautiously: "Can I really use this name again?"

"Miss said yes, so of course it is." Although Bi He didn't like Qiao Shan'er's strange smell, she thought the girl's voice was nice, soft and bookish.Just thinking of such a weak woman who would be sold for contradicting her original master, Bi He was puzzled and asked, "How old are you this year, how could you be enslaved?"

With her head lowered slightly, Qiao Shan'er said with a hint of indifference in her voice, "I am 14 years old, and my father was the county magistrate of Hezhou. Because he offended the powerful, he was charged with corruption and the court ransacked his house. Both my parents were exiled to Intercontinental to do hard labor, and my elder brother and I were sold into a wealthy family as slaves."

"What about your brother?"

Qiao Shan'er lowered her eyes and said sadly: "Since I was sold away, I have never contacted my brother again."

"Then why were you sold by the original owner?"

This question made Qiao Shan'er move her body uncomfortably, and said in a low voice, "Because... because the eldest son of that household always wanted to touch me, and once I couldn't bear it." When I went down, I beat him on the head. After the old lady found out about this, she ordered someone to beat me up first, then locked me up in the woodshed for a day and a night, and sold me to traffickers the next day."

"It's abominable!" Beating the wall of the car hard, Bi He raised her brows and said with righteous indignation, "If you like it, you can take it back to the room, stealthily taking advantage of others, what is this!! Don't worry, our Changsun's mansion is not like that You bastard, as long as you work hard and give your heart to Miss, you will benefit from me in the future!"

"Changsun's Mansion?" Qiao Shan'er stared at the couple on the opposite side with some curiosity, and asked, "Which branch of the Changsun's family is the girl from?"

Hearing this, Changsun Jingrong smiled and said, "You still know a little about our Changsun Mansion. I am Changsun Jingrong, from a common branch. Have you heard of me?"

Nodding slightly, Qiao Shan'er said: "Well. It turns out that the young lady in the family has been to the Women's Poetry Club. Although she won the top three, she is still unhappy and depressed every day. We, the servants, also suffer. Later An aunt secretly told us that the lady’s limelight was taken away by a girl named Changsun Jingrong, and she told us not to play with embroidery and other things on weekdays to make the lady unhappy.”
