The woman was holding a handkerchief in her hand. Now she pinched it tightly, her head dropped slightly, but her body was very straight.

"Can you cook?"

Xia Xi's voice sounded above her head.

"Yes."

The woman's voice was not big or small, and she was not flustered. After that, she added, "even washing clothes can be done."

Xia Xi's eyes fell on her white hands, picking eyebrows, "can you stand the pain?"

"I can stand it."

"Literate?"

"Know one or two."

Xia Xi nodded, turned back, and said to people, "it's her. How much silver?"

"Poop

The woman knelt down and said, "madam, the people's wife has another daughter. You can buy one."

"Who told you to talk? Shut up

She has been in his hands for many days. Every time someone comes, they want to buy her. It's because she has a daughter that she can't sell.

Just now, in the backyard, he had seriously warned her not to bring her daughter, nor to tell the buyer that she had a child.

The woman knelt down and kowtowed, "please buy my daughter together. We can have a meal for one person, and I will let her work. Please buy it."

"How old is your daughter?"

"I'm three years old. I can help you. Please buy it."

"What about people?"

"In the backyard."

"Go and bring people."

The woman answered, got up and ran to the back.

"Lady Xia, I'm really sorry. This woman, she..."

Xia Xi waved her hand and swallowed the words behind her teeth.

The woman leads a child to come in a hurry, came to the front, let the child kneel down, "Li Er, kneel down quickly for the madam, beg her to buy you."

Li'er knelt down obediently and said in a childlike voice, "madam, you can buy Li'er. Li'er will work more and eat less. I will listen to you."

Small people, big eyes, carved with jade and powder, with two bun on their head, not in a mess.

Xia Xi squats down, "how old is Li Er?"

Li Er spoke clearly, "three years old."

"What can I do?"

"I can add firewood, draw water and sweep the floor."

The woman also knelt down, "please buy the glass, she is very obedient."

Xia Xi stands up, "get up."

Li'er stood up and helped the woman. She hesitated for a moment and stood up.

"How much is the total?"

Sell two at a time, the person tooth son is overjoyed, "ten Liang."

Xia Xi gave it to him. He took out the contract and handed it to her in both hands. "If a woman needs someone else in the future, let someone say, I'll take someone with me."

"Well."

Xia Xi should, take the contract of selling oneself in hand, "you two, come with me."

"Wait a minute, ma'am."

The woman puts down Li'er and runs to the backyard. After a while, she comes with a small bag and follows Xia Xi out of the door. After Xia Xi gets on the carriage, the woman takes Li'er's hand and waits for the carriage to start.

"Come up, too."

The woman dare not go up, "madam, we are slaves, just walk."

"Come on, it's still a long way. I have something to say to you."

The woman hesitated for a while, and then she took Li'er to the carriage. She followed her closely, only occupying a corner of the carriage. She held Li'er tightly in her arms.

"What do you call it?"

"Madam, I'm Gu."

"Gu Shi... I'll call you lady Gu. I bought you to serve an old man..."

Tell her about Yin Xiucai's mother and son, "after you go, there's nothing else to do. It's just washing and cooking, cleaning the house, serving aunt Yin. It's easy. I'll pay you 200 Wen a month."

Gu Niang Zi is overjoyed, let go of Li Er, kowtow to Xia Xi again, "thank you, madam, thank you."

Li'er followed.

"Don't do that in the future."

"I wrote it down."

....

The carriage stopped at the door. Gu Niangzi went down first with Li'er in her arms, and then brought Xia Xi a horse stool. After she came down, she put it away and put it in front of the carriage.

Smoke came out of the hospital and Yin Xiucai coughed. Xia Xi stepped in quickly and Yin Xiucai ran out of the kitchen and coughed all the time.

"Yin Xiucai, who are you?"

Yin Xiucai waved her hand and stopped coughing for a long time. She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I want to heat some hot water."

He also does these things at home, but today, somehow, the firewood just can't be lit, making the kitchen full of smoke.

"I'll do it."

Gu Niangzi handed the bag to Xiao Li, and when she entered the kitchen, she was also choked and coughing. She covered her mouth, found a piece of wood, and fanned out the smoke.

"This is Mrs. Gu and her daughter. I bought them to serve her. Later, I will give her the work of my family. You can teach at ease."

Yin Xiucai was slightly stunned, "Lady Xia, isn't that right?"

"What's wrong? You can't take your mother to teach together?"

"This..."

Yin Xiucai looked at Gu Niangzi, who squatted down and took the firewood out of the stove one by one. She looked at Xiao Li and thought that her mother really needed personal care. "Well, I'll give you how much silver."

"I'm the one who pays for it, of course. Where's Auntie?"

"My mother is in the house."

Xia Xi waves to Xiao Li. Xiao Li cleverly follows her and enters the room. Aunt Yin sits on the Kang. She hears all of Xia Xi's words just now and thanks with a smile. "It's still Xia Niang who is considerate. Thank you very much."

"Since I invited you and Yin Xiucai, I naturally want to take good care of you. This lady Gu looks neat. I think you can like it. I bought it. If you have any problems, please tell me."

"Good, good, good."

Aunt Yin answered with a smile.

Small glass put the burden on the ground, knelt down, "maidservant small glass has seen the old lady."

"Oh, get up, get up, come to me and let me have a look."

Yin Xiucai has been married for many years, and she has never had a son and a half. Whenever she sees the children in the village, she envies them.

Xiao Li stands up, but she doesn't take the burden and comes to Aunt Yin.

The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. "Lady Xia, you really have a heart."

"I didn't want to buy Gu Niang. She said she had a daughter. I bought it now. However, Li'er is likable and can accompany you to relieve your boredom in the future. "

Mrs. Gu quickly boiled the water, took a bowl and put it on the table one by one. Then Mrs. Yin saluted, "I've seen my wife."

"No, there are only a few people in my family, so I don't want this kind of courtesy in the future."

"Yes."

Gu Niangzi stood on one side.

Aunt Yin is very satisfied.

Xia Xi gives aunt Yin a pulse and makes an appointment to come tomorrow. She goes back to the county and greets her family. She says she has cultivated mushroom strains in the villa and may not have time to come back in recent days.
