Hearing that Chen Qingyun was about to buy jewelry, the group went to West Street. When they arrived at West Street, the street extended to the suburbs to the east and west sides, including teahouses, taverns, pawn shops, workshops, some garment shops and jewelry shops, and on the open spaces on both sides There are also many small vendors with big umbrellas. Many people come here to shop and buy, which is very lively.

Chen Qingyun took the veil and put it on, got off the carriage, just walked around casually, occasionally entering a jewelry store, and just glanced at it, and didn't go and look closely.

As she walked, she was getting more and more deviant. Yi Cui was about to remind her that a black shadow suddenly hit Chen Qingyun's body.

Yicui was startled and hurriedly held Chen Qingyun who was falling backwards. The two guards behind him also rushed to the front to watch out.

When she looked closely, she turned out to be a dirty and skinny little girl. When she saw her hitting a big lady, she was obviously confused. She sat on the ground and held her head helplessly, ready to be beaten at any time.

"Run, you damn girl, you keep running!" A fierce voice came, and I saw a fat woman covered in flesh, holding a rattan in her hand, panting, and sweat on her cheeks were like oil. It slid down likewise: "Oh, I'm so tired. Let's see how I deal with you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the situation in front of her, so she stepped forward and grabbed the girl's ear, twisted it up, and wanted to drag her back.

"Stop!" Chen Qingyun signaled the guards to stop them, and his eyes were dark and could not tell what she was thinking: "Did you just want to leave like this after I got dirty with my clothes?"

When the woman saw that there was a black stain on the hem of the green smoky veil skirt.

"I'm so sorry, Miss. It's all this girl who doesn't have eyes when walking. I'll beat her to death now!" As she said that, the woman was so angry that her fat on her face shook, she picked up the rattan and looked at her. The girl threw away her body, and a blood mark appeared on her already thin and worn clothes in an instant.

They were all from poor families, and Yicui couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Chen Qingyun turned cold and waved his hand to signal. The two guards stepped forward and stopped the woman.

The little girl seemed to feel something, and leaned quietly towards Chen Qingyun. She looked up at Chen Qingyun. The mist-like sunlight hit her skirt, just as beautiful as the fairy in the painting.

Such movements quickly attracted the onlookers. Some people recognized the woman and advised: "Aunt Niu, don't beat me."

Everyone discussed it in a few words, and soon the overview was known.

It turned out that the little girl's parents were dead. Her uncle and aunt heard that the girl had a small house on the outskirts of Kyoto. She called her taking care of her. In fact, she occupied her property and beat the child every day. She does hard work.

"Hey, if the kind girl can do it, why not buy the stone back and be a maid. This girl is so diligent."

"Yeah yeah."

"Shitou often helps me carry vegetables..."

"I heard that Aunt Niu is going to sell the stones to a rich merchant as a concubine!"

"Oh, I'm making a sin..."

People nearby whispered to discuss, but some familiar people could not bear it, but the Niu family was vicious and ordinary people dared not provoke him, so they could only secretly take some food to help them occasionally.

Chen Qingyun listened silently, and inadvertently stroked the gauze skirt. She walked step by step to Aunt Niu. The veil covered her cheeks, revealing only those pair of watery eyes, and murderous intent flashed in the deep eyes as deep as ink.

Aunt Niu was seen by her like this. She was obviously a teenage girl in front of her, but she was so oppressed that she felt cold on her back and a little cold sweat appeared on her forehead. She didn't dare to speak casually.

After a long time, Chen Qingyun said slowly: "Since my skirt has been dirty, then pay the money."

Yicui immediately spoke: "Miss, this is Linglongge's new ready-to-wear garment this year, with at least 20 taels of silver for a piece of clothing."

"20 taels of silver! Why don't you go and grab it?" Aunt Niu screamed. Her rough voice was like a bull being kicked, which scared everyone else. The guard on the side pulled out the knife reflexively. Aunt Niu reflexively He immediately silenced and smiled flatteringly: "Miss, we poor families really don't have this money."

20 taels of silver are worth half a year of spending for an ordinary family.

"Oh, what are you going to do?" Chen Qingyun asked with a smile, but the smile was not enough to reach his eyes.

Aunt Niu shivered in her heart, why is this little girl so intimidating?

The stone on the ground was sitting without saying a word, but now he was kneeling straight in front of Shen Qingyun: "Miss, I will sell me to you as a maid and pay for this skirt."

For some reason, Shi Tou felt that this lady was the one who could save her.

Aunt Niu glared, but when she saw the guard's shaky blade, she still surrendered: "Yes, yes, just take this little girl, she's working very quickly. Miss, can you please? That's right? Money, hehe..."

Chen Qingyun glanced at him and Aunt Niu waved her hand: "No, no, the lady thinks it's okay, so just take this dead girl away."

"Get out." Chen Qingyun whispered.

"Hey, hey." Aunt Niu's legs became weak and hurriedly ran away. While turning around, she spitted and cursed: "Bah, you'll lose money!"

Yicui frowned and cursed unhappily: "What an evil woman!"

Chen Qingyun didn't say anything anymore, but signaled Yi Cui to lead Shi Tou, and a group of people got on the carriage and returned home.

On the way, Chen Qingyun remembered his previous life. It was also this day that Han took her out to buy jewelry on the West Street. When she took her to the house, she saw the stone. But the stone was already beaten to death at that time, and she felt very pitiful. She felt pity. My heart, Aunt Niu took advantage of the situation and actually spent 50 taels of silver to buy the stone.

Unfortunately, she did not protect her in her previous life. I believe that if she died, Shi Tou would still be unable to escape the fate of marrying the housekeeper to fill in the house.

I won't do it in this life, I won't do it again.

......

When I returned to the mansion, Shi Tou was taken down to clean up first.

When Han heard that Chen Qingyun had bought a maid, he called Madam Jiang to ask about the situation. When he learned about Shi Tou's family background, he sighed.

"The little girl is only 10 years old, but she has many injuries on her body, which is so hot that she is really pitiful to me, the old woman." said Madam Jiang.

Han is also a soft-hearted person. He just adds a maid to his daughter's room, so he doesn't care. He just asks Madam Jiang to pay attention to her character these days.

Shi Tou was covered with medicine on the wounds on her body, and she changed into a maid's clean clothes before she was taken to Jianjiayuan.

Chen Qingyun couldn't help asking: "What a good girl, why do you call it the name Shitou?"

"My parents said that a girl would give her a boy's name, so that she could support her." Shi Tou said embarrassedly.

Chen Qingyun looked at Shi Tou's simple and stubborn eyes, smiled and said the same thing in his previous life.
