Chapter 718: Selling Yourself to Bury Your Father
The moment Li Jiu Shao jumped down, his face changed, and the whole person suddenly stood up. The exclamations reached his throat, and when he saw Wang Yongzhu standing firmly, he immediately returned to that arrogant appearance, sat down coldly, and pretended that nothing had happened.
Wang Yongzhu waved at Shopkeeper Wu and Li Jiushao, then turned around and squeezed into the crowd.
Shopkeeper Wu saw that Wang Yongzhu was far away, so he put down the curtain, and when he turned around, he saw Li Jiushao with a cold face of a late mother, and stretched out his hand to him: "Bring it-"
Shopkeeper Wu came to his senses, hurriedly took out the jade pendant from his arms, and carefully placed it in Li Jiushao's hand.
Li Jiu Shao snorted coldly and hung up the jade pendant back.
Shopkeeper Wu carefully suggested: "Nine Princes, the matter of this dyeing workshop and the matter of fabrics are almost solved, plus there is also Wang Niangzi's plan, if you want to implement it, it is not a trivial matter, everything has to be decided by you Ninth Prince!" The location of this Jing County is still a little remote, and it is not as prosperous as the capital city, and the transportation is not very convenient, not to mention, it is not convenient to live in an inn all the time-"
"Then you can inquire if there is any better house nearby and buy it!" Li Jiu Shao impatiently interrupted Wu's shopkeeper's words.
Shopkeeper Wu really wants to slap himself in the face, and wants you to talk more!
Originally, he meant that in Jingxian County, there were all kinds of inconveniences, and the pampered young master of Jiugongzi should go to a prosperous place like Fucheng and harm other people.
But I didn't expect that this ninth prince is different from others, and he actually wants to buy a house, which means to live permanently?
Shopkeeper Wu only felt that his eyes were dark, and he wanted to faint.
But the last reason still made him hold on, and he could even ask with bated breath: "How big of a house does the ninth prince want to buy?" What are the requirements? ”
Li Jiushao said casually: "The house is cleaner, bigger, and cleaner!" When it's done, just find someone to buy a few honest maids! Do you want me to give you the rest? ”
Shopkeeper Wu didn't dare to make a sound.
Wang Yongzhu went home, Mrs. Zhang happened to have made lunch, and yesterday she said that she would go home to eat, and as soon as she arrived, the hot water towel was handed over.
wiped his face, just two people, and it was rare to set the table, and put the meal on the kang table in Zhang's mother-in-law's room.
The two mothers and daughters sat on the kang and ate hotly.
Wang Yongzhu roughly said today's events, and then said apologetically: "Mother, when I am busy for a few days, I will come back to accompany you!" I'll go to find a Chinese person in the afternoon, hire two mothers-in-law, buy two maids and come back to serve you! In the future, you don't need to get up early in the morning to cook, you can enjoy the blessings! ”
Mrs. Zhang is not a hypocritical old lady, she said in Qilidun that she wanted to live a life where the old lady in the city was served.
Now that I see that my daughters and sons-in-law are filial, I want to buy someone to come back and be filial to myself, and I am suddenly happy.
"That's a good feeling! Mother should also be a broad old lady! When the time comes, two maids, one mother, and one you! My daughter is a person who does big things, and now she is also a talented lady, so she has to have a maid. Let's eat and go! ”
Looking at Mrs. Zhang's posture, she couldn't wait for a moment.
Wang Yongzhu rarely saw Mrs. Zhang so proactive, after eating, the mother and daughter didn't hire a car, so they walked slowly down the alley to eliminate food.
Yan Zhong's house was not too far from the small courtyard, and the two of them walked about two teas before they arrived.
Yan Zhongren was at home, heard someone knocking on the door, came out to take a look, hurriedly smiled and welcomed the person in, invited him to sit down, and asked him to bring tea and snacks.
After a while, a stupid girl in green cloth came up with tea and snacks, although she was a little clumsy, but her hands and feet were quite sharp.
After taking two sips of tea, Wang Yongzhu explained his intention.
When Yan Zhongren heard this, this was business again, and he hurriedly asked, "What are the requirements?" ”
Mrs. Zhang immediately made a bunch of conditions: "It's okay to be stupid, you can't be too good-looking anyway; The hands and feet should be quick and can work, Miss Jiao, we can't afford it; Be honest and can't have crooked thoughts; If you want to be innocent, you can't come out of a pickled place; It's best to have a craft, whether you can cook or make shoes, we don't have idlers! ”
Thanks to Yan Zhongren, there were many people, but he listened to them without changing his face, and he was very patient: "What my aunt said is very true!" ”
Mrs. Zhang met a bosom friend: "It's not, what are we buying them back for, isn't it just for work?" Otherwise, buy it back and be an ancestral offering? Our small family can't afford to raise a young lady like that in the play! I think it's good to look like the girl who served the tea! ”
Yan Zhongren had a number in his heart: "Auntie, please rest assured, I have taken this matter to heart, it just so happens that a group of people will arrive in two days, and then the aunt will come to pick it up in person, okay?" ”
Mrs. Zhang nodded again and again!
Wang Yongzhu asked Yan Zhongren to find two nearby mothers-in-law, or the mother-in-law who sold his body, he had to be innocent, he could cook and wash clothes, and he was honest and did not pass on right and wrong.
Yan Zhongren also wrote them down one by one.
The mother and daughter went home satisfied.
When I walked to the most prosperous county avenue, I saw more than a dozen people surrounded by people in front of me, and there was a thin figure in the circle of people.
Wang Yongzhu's ears are good, and he heard something from a distance, "Sell yourself to bury your father-"
What "can it cost ten taels of silver......
……
and so on, and immediately knew in my heart, I was afraid that someone had betrayed his body to bury his father.
Wang Yongzhu didn't like to join in the fun, and he couldn't stand Mrs. Zhang's sullenness at home, seeing that there was a strange excitement to see, where could she bear it, and dragged Wang Yongzhu into the crowd.
Wang Yongzhu had to follow.
In the middle of the crowd, a thin girl knelt on the ground with a straw mark on her head, and a corpse hastily rolled up with a bamboo mat behind her.
As I got closer, I heard the chatters more clearly: "We haven't seen our county sell our body to bury my father for many years!" ”
"But no, look at that girl's body and bones, what can you do if you buy it back?"
……
Wang Yongzhu looked fixedly, the thin girl had her head down, her hair was yellow and frizzy, and the clothes on her body were already early spring, but the girl was still wearing a shabby cotton jacket.
In the hole exposed by the cotton jacket, the reed flowers were exposed, and it turned out that the cotton jacket was not cotton, but reed flowers.
In the past, many poor people had no money to buy cotton, so they stuffed the reed flowers in the middle of the cotton jacket to keep warm.
Some people also use reed flowers to fill cotton tires as quilt covers.
It's just that in recent years, because the price of cotton has fallen, most of them can afford to cover quilts, but few people use reeds.
And the girl, whose hands were exposed, had chilblains on all ten of her fingers, swollen like carrots.
When the wind blew, it blew up the girl's hair in front of her, revealing a delicate face, although the complexion was sallow and there was no flesh, but it could be seen that the eyebrows and eyes were still delicate.
Mrs. Zhang was originally rushing in, but when she saw the girl's appearance, she frowned, and before she could speak, she heard a voice.
"Wang Niangzi? What a coincidence! We meet again! "I want to talk about "Peasant Girl Youtian: Lady, Very Tough" with more like-minded people, WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
