2 four taels of silver
Zhao Liu was bought by Mrs. Yan for four taels of silver. When she left, Zhao San held her hand and cried heartbrokenly. She was stunned until the tough old lady broke three wicker sticks before dragging her back to the house.
Lao Liu, who was dumbfounded and had not yet turned around, entered Madam Yan's house in a daze.
Regarding being sold, I was a little bit melancholy at first, but later I put it aside. If this year continues, what is the difference between living in the Zhao family and being sold?
The person who bought her was called Mrs. Yan. Her real surname was Wang and she was from Shanxi. Her husband died a few years after marrying into the Yan family. She felt that she had seen through people's hearts and refused to marry again.
If there is a chaste and martyr woman in other people's homes, they all want to offer her as a sacrifice, because for no reason, the whole family can be exempted from taxes!
The same was true for the Yan family at first, but unexpectedly, a war broke out and the good times came to an abrupt end. The Yan family was forced to flee and ran to the edge of the capital. They had no land and no house. They were so poor that they couldn't eat.
Dun didn't know where he was next. Later, his mother-in-law, who fled with him, became seriously ill and died after spending all the money in the family.
Madam Yan was forced to do nothing, and she still had a daughter to support, so she just started a dental business.
As a woman who does business in public, she suffered a lot along the way, but she managed to survive it in the end.
It's just that the adults came over. I heard that Madam Yan's daughter accidentally caught wind and cold and had a high fever. She was so stunned that she became a fool when she went out to discuss business.
She probably felt guilty because Mrs. Yan rarely went to dirty places when doing business. For Zhao Liu, this was enough.
At this moment, the fool was sitting in front of Zhao Liu.
Hey hey, hey hey hey, sister eats candy, hey hey
When the fool saw Zhao Liu looking at her, he took the candy out of his mouth and handed it to Zhao Liu blankly.
There was a piece of candy spread out on the drooling palm, and the girl with red lips and white teeth was wrapped in a moon-white cotton jacket. If she didn't speak, it would be impossible to tell that she was a fool.
Pitiful.
But so what? Even though she was a fool, her mother-in-law took care of her wholeheartedly. She was not a fool yet! She let her mother-in-law sell her for four taels of silver!
She ignored the fool, turned around and sat down cross-legged facing the wall, spread her hands and looked at the piece of silver in her hand. The silver from the strong old lady Yan Niangzi gave her, and Zhao San took advantage of the chaos and rolled around to quietly stuff it into her.
The five pieces of silver in her hand were all her family assets.
She put the dime of silver in the toilet space in the palm of her hand, thinking that Zhao San must be beaten to death by the tough old lady.
Zhao Liu squatted in the corner of the kang, hugging her knees silently. Her clear and stupid college student mind could not imagine what kind of life she would face next.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the noise outside the house, and soon there were five crying girls on the kang.
"You all are waiting here. There is hot water in the side room. Go and clean up yourself. Someone will come to pick you up in a while. Your fate depends on today's luck. Take good care of it!"
After Mrs. Yan said this, she bent down and picked up the little fool, opened the curtain and left.
Zhao Liu came early and wore little. In addition, the wind blew all the way, and her little hands were so cold that it was difficult to hold them. Seeing a group of children wiping away tears in front of her, she didn't want to look, so she moved away
After getting off the kang, he turned around and walked to the next door where Madam Yan said.
A bucket of hot water, a bucket of cold water, a few cotton towels and a wooden basin next to them.
Zhao Liuyi put it all together and poured two ladles of hot water into the wooden basin. He touched it tentatively with his fingers and added another ladle of cold water.
When I put my hands into the hot water, I felt that the chill all over my body had dissipated. It was already so cold before October. What kind of beautiful and freezing scene would it be in the coldest month of winter?
When I think about how bad my fate is now that I have fallen into the hands of Ren Yazi, I really can't even cry.
What's the use of crying while listening to the whining next door?
In the hands of Ren Yazi, the nature of their household registration changed. They had to spend money to redeem themselves, and she had no money.
Want to run?
Where can five-year-old Doudin run?
I originally thought I was getting a farming script, but who knew it would start in hell mode?
Zhao Liu twisted a cotton towel and covered his face, thinking about his few options.
What did Madam Yan say just now? Someone will come to pick them up soon. What their fate will be depends on today's fortune.
Can say the word "creation".
I think I won't be sold to such a bad place for the time being. If I want to be sold to a good family as a maid, it shouldn't be a good fortune.
That is to sell it to a family with good conditions to be a maid. After all, only wealthy families would choose a girl of her age to go back to them for the purpose of long-term holding and standardized training of nannies and maids.
Zhao Liu's face was covered with warm cotton cloth, her mind was running rapidly. She clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind, even if she had to take one step at a time, she would still choose an easy path.
"Hurry up, hurry up, Madam Wang is at the door, you all should follow her!"
After hearing this, Zhao Liu gritted his teeth and threw down the cotton cloth, turned around and followed the girls outside the door and walked into the yard.
The autumn wind was bleak, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, but it was not warm. Zhao Liu gathered his clothes and tried to cover his collar that was leaking from the wind.
Her face, which had just been washed with hot water, felt dry as soon as the cold wind blew. She punched her eyes and saw two lumps of plateau red on her face that looked like monkey butts. It was so cold.
If I had known it would come so soon, I wouldn't have washed my face, and I don't know if that madam Wang would be displeased to see her look like this.
Madam Yan taught you not to look directly at someone when you are choosing one, but to look at the ground. People who are discerning will not choose a girl with an unruly temperament.
Drawing a picture of his unbearable slave appearance in his mind, Zhao Liu felt that he had fallen. The child who grew up under the red flag in the spring breeze was now servilely waiting for someone to pick him like a commodity.
Forget it, as long as she is not sold into the flesh business, she will tolerate it!
Perhaps her appearance caught the Queen's eye, so she and two other sallow-looking girls were taken out of the yard. There was a bullock cart parked outside the yard. When Zhao Liu was carried into the cart, he saw that there were already three people sitting inside.
An average-sized child.
She heard Madam Yan say outside, "They are all clean and pure. I went there in person. Don't worry, it's a personal contract."
The oxcart rocked hard for at least half an hour, feeling the stone road beneath me alternately turn from dirt to stone again.
The voices in his ears became lively, and Zhao Liu wanted to lift the curtain to take a look, but Madam Wang was sitting at the door. Feeling the constant gaze from the opposite side, she stayed in the corner and did not dare to move.
Not to mention lifting the curtain to take a look.
While she was thinking about it, she heard Madam Wang, who had been silent all the way, speak. She smoothed her clothes, sat upright, cleared her throat and said:
"The place you are going to today belongs to the most valuable family in the capital. I have tightened my skin and carefully made sure not to make any mistakes. If someone picks out the wrong ones and drives them out, don't blame me, Mrs. Wang, for being cruel."
Zhao Liu lowered his eyes and rolled his eyes. Everyone in the capital was very noble, so what kind of family was he? A prince, an emperor, a grandson, a prince, a prince, or a minister.
She will find out soon.
The bullock cart passed through the busy city and turned into a quiet neighborhood. After a while, it stopped in front of a small vermilion door in the corner. Zhao Liu and several other girls got off the car and stood in a row behind Lady Wang. Lady Wang just walked up
Going up the steps, and just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard the small door creak open from the inside.
"Oh, this is a coincidence. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come in quickly."
