The seven-year-old girl sat a little aggrieved. She sniffed, surrounded by the fragrance of Xiao Yuanzi milk tea, which made her mouth secrete involuntarily.
She swallowed, then lowered her head. She wanted to hide her red eyes because she knew that grandma would not give her these things to eat.
Yang Haiyan couldn't tell how she felt but she had some sympathy for the little girl. This kind of sympathy was just a short-lived sympathy, just like seeing a post on a forum where women were raped by domestic violence.
She will not help the little girl out of sympathy, she has no responsibility or obligation. Taking a step back, she can help for a while .Giving the little girl a cup of milk tea for free, can she still help for a month or a year? That is impossible.
Besides, if a person like Mother Zhang helps the little girl at the moment maybe she will deal with the little girl even harder in the future and let the little girl come to her every day to eat.
What's more, her relatives who are related by blood don't care, what does she care about as an outsider? It's just that there is something in her heart that doesn't feel right. Sigh.
The guests continued one after another and Yang Haiyan restrained her mind to entertain the guests. When the number of guests gradually decreased, the Zhang family had already left.
In a twinkling of an eye, at the beginning of November, Yang Haiyan calculated the profit of the previous month plus Yang Dahua sold it wholesale. Deducting the cost and even made a profit of 16 taels. In fact, the last three days of activities are more powerful than Yang Dahua.
She didn't know how much Yang Dahua made by selling wholesale to the county but Yang Dahua wholesaled to her 10 times this month and she made a total of five taels of silver.
The dim sum shop made 16 taels of gross profit. After deducting the monthly payment of 600 yuan from Aunt Hong and the other three and then deducting their expenses this month, there is still a balance of about 12 taels. That is to say, their family is in this month, it cost about 3 taels for food. She must know that when Qin Fang was a centurion, the monthly case was only one tael. Therefore, it is true that the more you earn, the more you spend.
"Haiyan... Haiyan..." Sister Lu's voice came from the door.
"Hey." Yang Haiyan walked out of the study, "sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Sister-in-law Lu: "Come on, the cabbage and radish have been delivered ….just outside the family room, let's go get them."
Upon hearing this, Yang Haiyan said, "coming..
Outside the family room, there are a lot of crowds.
There are 500 centurions and 50 thousand centurions in the family room. The ten thousand commander above the thousand commander, that is, the guerrilla general, lived in the general's mansion in the county seat.
Although not every centurion of 500 households has family members accompanying the army, more than half of them have a family members . Therefore, there are many people who buy cabbage and radishes at the door of the family room today.
Sister-in-law Lu called Yang Haiyan and went to call Yang Dahua with Yang Haiyan. The delivery of cabbage and radishes was made in advance so whether it was Sister-in-law Lu, Yang Haiyan or Yang Dahua, everyone made time.
Even Mother Zhang asked her eldest granddaughter to take care of her younger brother at home and she hurriedly came to buy cabbage and radishes.
Yang Dahua: "There are so many people and the business of these old farmers who grow vegetables is really good."
Sister-in-law Lu: "No, many people here grow cabbage and radishes to live. If you buy a batch in winter, it can be considered as a year's income for ordinary people."
Military relatives like them seem to be more stylish than the common people, but they are only the name , the soldiers have no land here and the yard is not as big as the yard of some ordinary people in the countryside so the life of the local people is really more comfortable than those of them.
"Lady Lu, here." There were carts after carts of cabbage radishes lined up in front of the family room. The mother-in-law of an old farm family saw Sister Lu and greeted her loudly. There are many people and the voices are so loud that they can't really hear it.
Sister-in-law Lu: "It's here." She has been with the army for several years. She has bought cabbage and radishes from this old farmhouse for several years. She also buys eggs from their house on weekdays, so she is familiar with it.
Sister-in-law Lu took Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua over and several centurion wives who knew each other greeted Sister-in-law Lu: "You are here, how much you will buy today? ."
Sister-in-law Lu: "Don't be in a hurry, there's enough stuff anyway."
The old farmer's daughter-in-law: "Yes, don't worry ladies, there are enough cabbage and radishes. We have three carts in front of us and we will keep up with them later. I'll make sure to pull them all in one day for you today."
The woman in her forties , looks older than his actual age with tiredness on her face,
but she is full of energy in the tiredness. In the past few days, the cabbage and radishes are all pulled from the ground. Can she not be tired? But at least she can make a lot of money.
Sister-in-law Lu: "I still believe the eldest sister. The cabbage and radishes in your family are sweet and juicy. After washing the radishes with water, they can be eaten raw."
The old farmer's daughter-in-law: "The wife of the Lu family has won the prize. Our village grows cabbage and radishes for a living. Every household carefully manages them. There are not even bugs on the cabbage and radishes."
As soon as Yang Haiyan heard this, she felt that this aunt was a smart person. She not only praised her own cabbage and radish but also praised other people's so she would not offend anyone.
However, there are many people who need cabbage and radishes and there is no competition between her family and other families so there is no need to belittle other people's families.
Not only this aunt, but also the neighbors who sell cabbage and radishes. Perhaps it is the village chief who manages it well.
Three carts of cabbage and radishes cost about 2,000 jin, two cents a pound and these three carts can earn four taels of silver. Although it is the result of a family's labor, life is worth seeing with money in border crossings The local price is not low at all because there are many tourists and it is easy to make money. Just like the jade bracelet of the Treasure Pavilion, it may not be able to sell for 2,000 taels of silver in other county towns, but it can be sold here and the price driven by trade is the truth. (Wandering merchants: non-Qinguo merchants.)
Soon it was Yang Haiyan's turn. She asked for a total of 480 pounds and paid 960 yuan. Yang Haiyan couldn't take away so many things but the sons and daughters-in-law of the old farmers would send them by cart.
After 480 catties of cabbage and radishes were delivered to the yard, Yang Haiyan called Uncle Hong and Aunt Fan and asked them to move to the cellar. Also in the cellar are bacon, bad bones, pickled radishes and pickles. Coupled with cabbage and radishes, it is full of crowded piles, which is a bit of a New Year's taste.
After moving the things, Yang Haiyan asked Uncle Hong, "Uncle Hong, can chickens be raised in the yard in the downtown area?"
Uncle Hong: "I'm afraid it won't work. It's not good to raise chickens in the town. The food is the second priority. When the chicken crows, it will irritate the neighbors and people will complain about it ."
The town people always think they are more noble than the country people. In fact, what is more important is that almost all the yards in the town are adjacent to each other,and they are not as big as those in the countryside. Because every family is close, the chickens will indeed make a noise when it croaked.
Yang Haiyan originally thought that she would not be able to eat fresh meat for two months during the winter and it would not be good to always eat bacon and cured meat. It would be good if she could raise chickens. But it also makes sense to hear Uncle Hong say this. Humans are social animals and they can't quarrel with others because of themselves. So she didn't want to think about it. If she couldn't, she bought it on the platform. When someone asked, she said that it was bought from an old farmer in the countryside.
In the early morning, Qin Fang, who had finished his duty, came back.
Yang Haiyan hasn't seen him for more than half a month since he went to deliver a few baskets of snacks to Qin Fang at the end of the month . When she saw him now, she suddenly realized that she missed him a lot: "Your face and lips are dry."
Qin Fang: "It's winter here, the weather is very dry and it's fine."
Yang Haiyan prepared hot water for him: "You wash your face first, I'll go get something. By the way, wash with soap."
Qin Fang: "I see."
After Qin Fang washed his face, she saw Yang Haiyan came out with a wooden box and a bowl of water. She put down the water, opened the lid of the wooden box and there was a burst of fragrance. Qin Fang knew that this was what she wiped on her face. When she went to bed at night, he could smell the fragrance on her body.
Yang Haiyan: "Come here, sit down here."
Qin Fang sat down in puzzlement, looked up at her and blinked his eyes suspiciously, a little stupid.
Yang Haiyan dipped the water in the bowl with the handkerchief. This is moisturizing water. She couldn't take out the original can but poured it into the bowl. She couldn't use cotton pads just pat it on his face.
Although Qin Fang was puzzled, he didn't move. He stared at Yang Haiyan. It was found that his daughter-in-law's nose was very straight, her eyes were very large, her mouth was very small and it was very rosy. Qin Fang swallowed his saliva unconsciously, feeling that his throat was a little dry.
"Yanyan..." He couldn't help but called out.
Yang Haiyan apply the moisturizing water for him and was about to apply moisturizing cream to him when she heard him call: "Huh?"
Qin Fang: "Yanyan, I want to eat your small mouth ."
Yang Haiyan's head was stunned, only to see that Qin Fang had wrapped her waist with an iron arm, pulled her to sit on his lap and then a pure male breath penetrated into her nostrils and his lips pressed against hers . He was not satisfied with this kind of collision, he let out a sound and his tongue was domineeringly inserted into her mouth.
bang bang bang...
Yang Haiyan heard her own heartbeat. Speaking of which, she liked this kind of man who was active and domineering in flirting. He was so damn attractive.
Obviously he is still a 20-year-old little brother and he is very innocent, but at this moment, her legs are softened when he kisses her. She was as soft as cotton in his arms, her hands tightly holding the clothes on his chest: "Xianggong..." Her voice was charming and seductive.
This voice was the fuse, igniting Qin Fang's remaining rationality. He couldn't help it and his forbearance was completely out of control at this moment. He clasped the woman in his arms tightly because he had never hugged a woman like this before, so his strength was a little stronger and it hurt Yang Haiyan.
Yang Haiyan's reason also came back at this time, she hurriedly stopped him: "You promised me, you have to wait until the age of 18."
Qin Fang clasped her hand and said even more aggrieved: "I'll just touch it."
Two quarters later
Qin Fang returned to the kitchen after taking a bath and Yang Haiyan had already filled the noodles: "Come and have breakfast quickly, eat well and take a rest."
Qin Fang sat down blushing: "Well, thank you daughter-in-law." He grinned like a fox who stole the fish. In fact, it did steal fish. The fragrance made him almost out of control, who had never touched a woman.
After a good meal, Qin Fang brushed his teeth and went to rest. When he slept, Yang Haiyan spread a rug by the bed, then sat on the ground and started making boots.
Qin Fang turned sideways and looked at her peacefully under the bed: "My commander's military documents have already come down and the yard of the commander's family room has also been vacated. When do you want to move it there?"
Yang Haiyan didn't know about this: "Is the yard different?"
Qin Fang explained: "Naturally, it's different. The commander is an officer of the seventh rank and he can have several private guards here. Moreover, the commander's courtyard is a two-entry courtyard, which is different from the small courtyard here."
Yang Haiyan found that Qin Fang was a little different. Before, he was restrained and calm and he spoke very few words. But now, he is more energetic. This is probably the difference between being a centurion and a thousand centurion. He has become a commander of thousands and has entered the threshold of military generals and court officials.
But confident men are attractive.
Yang Haiyan: "Are we living in the same yard where the family of the thousand masters lived before?"
Qin Fang: "Yes, I'll take you to see it in the afternoon?"
Yang Haiyan: "Okay, but the kitchen has to be changed to ours. After we move out, the oven here will be dismantled."
Qin Fang: "Well, listen to you."
It didn't take long for Qin Fang to fall asleep. He was already tired.
Yang Haiyan's boots are Qin Fang's boots, which are made of wool and fur. Speaking of which, they are the same as modern snow boots, but they are truly one piece of fur.
The snow boots were made of thick material, so she did it slowly. She had to make a good hole for each stitch and then sew it up with a needle and thread. Otherwise, she was not strong enough to pierce the leather with a needle. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for the memory of the original owner, she wouldn't be able to make shoes.
Although it is snow boots, it cannot be compared with modern snow boots, because whether it is rubber soles or beef tendon soles, this era cannot make them, even if she can buy rubber soles and beef tendon soles on her platform, she doesn't dare to buy it.
During this period of time, Yang Haiyan has slowly finished most of the shoes and in two more days, this pair of shoes can be completed.
When Aunt Fan came to cook at noon, she learned that the lord had returned and the amount of food she cooked had also increased. After lunch, Qin Fang took Yang Haiyan to see the mansion.
When she went out, Yang Haiyan wrapped herself tightly, wearing a jacket inside and a cloak with cotton on the inside . The whole figure was like a quilt walking on her back. That's not enough. She also brought a hand stove, just because she was afraid of the cold. .
Qin Fang watched and couldn't help but hold her hand: "This way it won't be cold." His hand was warmer than a hand stove.
Yang Haiyan joked: "I can always have the stove in my hand, but I can't take you with me all the time."
Qin Fang was very helpless when he heard it. Since he has learned more characters and heard the history of Qiguo, his knowledge has gradually grown and he is no longer the young man who only knew a few characters before he got married. But there is also a saying that after a man has a woman, he will gradually mature.
Qin Fang held her and took her from the Centurion District to the Thousand Commander District. Occasionally someone walked by and stopped to look at them, perhaps feeling a little surprised and a little envious .
On the way, Qin Fang introduced: "There are 50 households in the Thousand Commander District and we have ten households under General Ao, of which..." He briefly introduced the character of each Commander and the situation at home. These were all inquired about during this period of time because he knew that his family would move there sooner or later, so he inquired about the situation at the chief's house, so that his daughter-in-law could have a better idea.This man does things carefully and attentively .
….When a man has you in his heart, he will be attentive. If he don't have you in his heart, doing things is probably the way straight men often say in modern times.
Some people say that this man is straight, so they don't think about it that much. In fact, any straight man who is not straight is nothing more than intentional.
When they got to the house where the two entered, because General Ao's family had moved out, the house was empty and there was no one at the door, so they went in directly. The sanitation inside is clean and the house is empty. It can be said that there is nothing but the house.
But there are also good places. Because people have lived here, the cellars have been dug up.
The house where captain was living was very big and it couldn't compare to the small yard where they lived now. If the house is big, it will be empty. If there are few people, it will be very lonely.
The shape of this house is a two-in-one quadrangle courtyard, which is divided into a front yard and an inner yard. The front yard is to receive foreign guests and the inner yard is the living area. The front yard and the inner yard are separated by a hanging flower door and the partition is very clear.
Yang Haiyan: "The benefits of this house are very obvious. In the future, my husband can also entertain colleagues here."
Seeing that she liked it, Qin Fang was also happy: "Let's go to the inner courtyard to see."
Yang Haiyan: "Well."
The couple looked around the inner courtyard, mainly looking at the main house. If there were no accidents, they would live here in the next few years. Like Qin Fang, as long as there is no mistake, it is impossible to demote, so if you want to change places, unless Qin Fang is promoted, or Qin Fang dies.
Therefore, Yang Haiyan will be more attentive to this house. If they moved here, she would be far away from Sister Lu and Yang Dahua and it would take about ten minutes to walk. At that time, she would have difficulty to communicate to them , which would make her seem a little lonely.
"Will the house we live in now be freed up for the new centurion?"
Qin Fang: "Yes, but don't worry, the other party is alone at the moment, living in the military camp. If his family members want to come, it will be after the new year and the two-month winter disaster will pass." Here, there are two months of winter and also known as the winter disaster.
When Yang Haiyan heard it, she immediately said, "Then our new house can be remodeled, there is still time."
Qin Fang: "Listen to you, tell me which areas need to be reformed. I can ask someone to reform it at home these days. Even after taking a break, I can be on duty during the day and can do it when I come back."
Yang Haiyan: "Yeah. Let's go to the wood workshop and get all the furniture we need in the house first."
Qin Fang: "Okay."
The couple order in the wood workshop can be called a large order. The furniture is made according to Yang Haiyan's wishes, but relatively speaking, the price of these furniture is still cost-effective because Yang Haiyan has no requirements for wood, other than mahogany, etc. She doesn't care about the material, ordinary wood is fine. From the bed to the wardrobe, wall cabinet, shoe cabinet and bedside table, it is similar to the modern one. It doesn't matter, the style is all based on their own needs.
However, they ordered a lot of furniture, which could not be done well for a while.
When they slept at night, Qin Fang talked about another incident: "On the fifth day of the first month of December, General Ao's promotion and housewarming will be held at the General's Mansion. You will follow me to the General's Mansion. In fact, the celebration banquet of General Ao was originally early, but because my military documents were not available, he deliberately picked my appointment documents after it came down."
Yang Haiyan heard this: "General Ao is really caring about you."
Qin Fang: "Well.., He is kind to me." So he respected General Ao very much.
Yang Haiyan: "There are still more than half a month. You can tell me about General Ao and Mrs. Ao's personality preferences."
Qin Fang: "Well, General Ao has a rough personality and is quite a hearty person. As for Mrs. Ao, I haven't had much contact with him. The only time I have contacted so many times is when I went to the commander's mansion to find General Ao. She...she Kind of like my grandma."
Yang Haiyan was surprised: "Similar to grandma?" One is the wife of the captain and the other is a peasant woman, similar? Seemingly thinking of something, Yang Haiyan asked, "General Ao is also from a peasant family, right?"
Qin Fang: "Yes. General Ao also started his military service and rose up level by level. Mrs. Ao is a local and the children of the border are quite cool."
Yang Haiyan understood, she's afraid that when Qin Fang said Mrs. Ao was similar to his grandmother, she was referring to her personality. "Xianggong, then the gift we prepare for General Ao doesn't have to be too good, as long as it is practical. He used to be a centurion.General Ao also knows our situation. If we prepare well. , the limelight is too much, it makes people suspicious, …what do you think?"
In this regard, Qin Fang is completely opinionless because he knows that her daughter-in-law is well-informed: "It's fine for you to decide."
Yang Haiyan: "Tell me about the situation in General Ao's mansion, mainly in the backyard. The general has several children, but there are concubines..."
The couple chatted late into the night.
The next day, the couple went to the county seat. Qin Fang is now a commander of thousands, an officer of the seventh rank and there can be no one who waits by his side. It is said to be serving, but in fact it is running errands such as sending letters. Then the officers of the seventh rank are allowed to have five private soldiers to train as their cronies. These private soldiers are not the same as the soldiers in the barracks. However, private soldiers also have private military documents. This document is issued by the Yongzhou County Government. Moreover, private soldiers and masters share weal and woe.
On the way to the county seat, Yang Haiyan asked curiously, "Master, what kind of private soldier do you want to choose?"
Qin Fang: "I plan to select from the soldiers with full military service. The soldiers who entered the barracks earlier than me will have full military service at the end of the month and five will be selected at that time. They were originally under my command when I was a centurion. .,
I also have a basic understanding of the strength and character of these people, so I can feel comfortable using them."
Yang Haiyan: "Xianggong is thoughtful. Before these soldiers complete their military service, how about letting Uncle Hong work in front of you? He is a local and is familiar with the place. Then we are buying a few servants."
Qin Fang: "No, it will only take a few days. As for other things, you can call the shots and listen to you."
Yang Haiyan: "Xianggong, you are so kind, listen to me in everything."
Qin Fang likes her to praise himself very much. Every time she praises him, he always feels that his tail is about to be raised. Oh, good thing he doesn't have a tail.
Yang Haiyan: "Then let's pick two more servants, both of whom have a dead contract. In the slave shop in the town ,only Uncle Hong can read so he has no choice but to have a living contract. Let's see if there is a dead contract this time. Pick one who can read and then pick a woman who does rough work."
It doesn't matter if they don't know how to read. Otherwise, Aunt Fan has to go to the dim sum shop again, to buy food, to cook, and to do laundry. It's too much work. And Aunt Hong is in the dim sum shop every day, after all, the shop can't be without people.
Qin Fang: "Listen to you."
When the couple arrived at the county office, they went directly to the Yaxing.
Granny Ya warmly welcomed them: "Hello, Mrs., who are you going to bought ?"
Yang Haiyan: "I want to buy two old wives. One should be literate, be more honest and steady, better be able to comb hair and should understand the rules and etiquette of officials".
Because the memory of the original owner will comb the hair style of this era, every time she comb it, it is really tiring. However, the person she want bought still the old woman because there is no need to avoid danger between the old woman and Qin Fang. It is too troublesome for the young girl to have to deal with her if she is in a bad mood.
Besides, Qin Fang is an official now and the family must have rules and etiquette. She understands it, but it is too troublesome for her to teach the servants, so it would be good to find someone who knows the rules and etiquette to teach.
The slave office in the county government is different from the slave office in the town. As soon as the old woman heard Yang Haiyan's request, she immediately chose six people.
Granny Ya: "Madam, the three on the left are all literate and they all came from a big family. They used to be a nanny in a big family. The main family couldn't live any longer, so they sold all the servants. The three on the right were rough. Let the old lady do a good job."
Of course, no one knows if the aunties mentioned by Ya Granny were actually sold for this reason. In order to get the next person to take action as soon as possible, Ya Grandma said everything nicely. However, she didn't dare to deceive Yang Haiyan too much. When she heard Yang Haiyan said that she was looking for someone who knew the rules of the official family, she thought that the young man in front of her might be from the official family. Although Yaxing is an slave shop,she does dare to deceive .
Yang Haiyan: "I'll choose the rough maid first and the three of you will introduce yourself. Tell me about the previous family, the previous master's family and the reason for selling your body."
She didn't want to be deceived . Moreover, she is not afraid of them lying, because everyone's household registration in the county government will have a record.
The first one: "Madam, the slave's name is Liu Yue'e. If there is a flood at home and all the family members died on the way, the slave only can sell herself and want a place to live."
Yang Haiyan looked at her and couldn't tell her age, but from her unhealthy face, she could vaguely see that her facial features were good. Yang Haiyan: "That being the case, you sold yourself as the master, why didn't you sign a living contract? Instead, you signed a death contract? Or, find a man for yourself, even if he is a widower, who can rely on him for the rest of his life, which is better than being a slave to others.."
"This…"
Yang Haiyan knew at a glance that the other party was lying: "You can step back, the next one."
The second one: "The slave's name is Yu Zhaodi. I was 36 this year. I originally had a son and daughter, but my son died unexpectedly. My previous man wanted to have a son to inherit the family, but I was too old to give birth, so the man knocked me unconscious and then I was sold, he will probably take the money to marry another one."
She always knew that he wanted to divorce her and marry another one, but it would cost money to marry another one and their family had no money. But she didn't expect that he would sell herself out of his heart and use the money to marry.
Yang Haiyan did not expect such a thing to happen.
Yu Zhaodi knelt down again: "Madam, please buy me, I can do any rough and heavy work. I originally wanted to die, but I can't worry about my daughter. Madam, please. You..." Saying that, Yu Zhaodi kowtowed to Yang Haiyan, she kowtowed heavily, the sadness in her eyes didn't seem to be fake and the tears were not fake.
In a blink of an eye, after only a few kowtows, her forehead turned red, showing her strength.
Yang Haiyan sighed: "You get up first and stand aside , let me listen to others."
Yu Zhaodi refused to get up: "Ma'am, I'm really capable of working. I don't need anything, I don't need to eat enough every day and I don't need a monthly routine. I beg you to buy me..."
Yang Haiyan frowned: "According to our country's law, it is illegal to sell wives and daughters, unless they are concubines. Are you the wife?"
Before Yu Zhaodi could open her mouth, Mother Ya said, "Don't worry Madam, our official shop are a serious slave shop. If there is a problem with the other party's identity, we will not sell it .I have seen her sales contract and her husband was the one who sold her family to the shop. She was originally a child bride, strictly speaking, she is a slave bought by the previous husband. Many child brides are slaves, but there are also charitable people. After the couple gets married, they will go to slaves and return the deed of prostitution to each other. But her contract didn't go away and the child bride is not a living contract, but a dead contract."
Yang Haiyan didn't think of this problem, she asked Yu Zhaodi: "Is that so?"
After hearing the name, Zhaodi Zhaodi... Yang Haiyan also believed what Ya Po said, this woman must have been bullied at her parents' house.
Yu Zhaodi nodded: "Yes. But madam, I can work. When I was at my parents' house, I was able to work very well. When I was at my husband's house, I served the whole family. Please buy me." Then, she continued to kowtow again.
Yang Haiyan: "Okay." She said to Ya Po again, "Give me her contract." She does not reject good things within her ability. Of course, if the person is of bad character, she can still resell it at that time.
When Yu Zhaodi heard this, she kowtowed several times again: "Thank you madam...Thank you madam..."
Yang Haiyan: "You stand aside, let's introduce the three here below."
The first one: "Hello madam, the slave is the nanny of a big family, because she ate the wrong food..."
Yang Haiyan knew that many people's nurses would choose from their family's children and felt at ease. However, if she gave birth to a child, she would definitely have to feed it herself. Unless she had no milk, she would be uneasy about letting her child eat someone else's milk.
Listen to this person say that because of the wrong food and milk problems, the child is sick. Even if the child is all right in the end, this nanny can't be completely blamed, but Yang Haiyan doesn't dare to buy such a servant. No matter what position you are in, being careful is the most important thing.
She can tolerate the stupidity of the people below, but she can't tolerate the carelessness of the people . Carelessness can be fatal.
Yang Haiyan: "Introduce yourself ,the second person."
The second woman stood up and saluted Yang Haiyan first: "Hello madam, the slave has no surname. This year, I was 42. I was sold to serve since I was a child and the slave named Xiaolian. After the lady married, the slave followed , after the young lady gave birth to her young son , she was in poor health and left after a few years. Originally, she left the slaves and other people to take care of the son, but the husband married a wife later and the wife behind him gave the slaves to the care of a few people. Then, I was sold."
Yang Haiyan heard her talk rationally and stood respectfully. It looked like she had been trained, just like her original body before, she couldn't help but ask, "Which family did you originally belong to? Which family did your young lady marry later? "
The second woman: "The slave was originally by Miss Yuan's side in Qingzhou. Grandpa Yuan was a second-rank official and the young lady was married to the right family."
Yang Haiyan: "With your status, how dare the wife he marry later sell you? Even if she looks at the face of the Yuan family, she will not sell you. Besides, she should not have a contract of selling your life."
The second woman: "After the young lady passed away, the slave and maid's deed of betrayal was in the hands of the husband and the later wife's family was more powerful than the Yuan family. Besides, although the slave and maid used to be by the young lady's side, she was not the kind of person who was valued".
Yang Haiyan has a good impression of her, mainly because she speaks well and has seen the world. However, she did not decide immediately, she nodded: "The third one will introduce."
The third woman stepped forward and said, "Hello, madam, the old slave doesn't want to sign a death contractand he didn't even sign a contract with Yaxing. The old slave is a friend of the old slave, so I asked the old slave to try it."
Yang Haiyan listened: "What's going on?"
The third woman said slowly: "The old slave was originally from Qingshui Village. When my parents died when I was young, I grew up with his uncle and auntie. When I was 13 years old, the court drafted and a 15-year-old unmarried woman was to be selected into the palace. My aunt was reluctant to have my 15-year-old cousin chosen to go to the palace, so she asked me to pretend to be my cousin... So the old slave entered the palace and became a maid in the palace. According to the laws of the imperial court, the maid can only leave when she is 25 years old. After the old slave reached age, she thought that she had no relatives at home and the family relationship with the uncle had been broken when the old slave entered the palace, so he left and stayed in the palace until he was 40 years old. The master has gone and those of us who are serving have been sent out when they are old..."
Wait, Yang Haiyan was stunned when she heard this.
