Chapter 777
"These are some people I bought back from the dental store. Go and boil the water for them to wash up and put on new clothes. Burn all the clothes they wore back from the dental store to avoid lice and fleas. .
In addition, these people live among dental practitioners, and it is unknown if they have any hidden diseases, all of which need to be dealt with.
"As for this girl, it's fate that I met her. I bought cotton and floral cloth. You can give her another change later when you have time."
Du looked at the little girl who was following her mother-in-law. She looked about the same size as a daughter. When she noticed the scar on her forehead, regret flashed in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll get ready right now."
After washing up, several people were dressed neatly and looked brand new.
"You guys, kowtow to the master." The three of them knelt down to Bai Yunxi and kowtowed to thank him.
"You all must have had your own reasons for being reduced to Yaxing. I won't ask about the past. Our Bai family is a simple farmer's family. There is no intrigue from the big family. You just need to work peacefully."
Bai Yunxi said, looking at their slightly surprised expressions and not caring,
"Do you have a name?"
"A servant who has become a slave has no name. The head of the household is in destitution and was sold by his master. Please give him a name. One of them kowtowed and spoke in a deep voice, and the other also followed suit.
Bai Yunxi pondered for a moment, "Then let's follow the order of the book, Shu'an, Shuqing."
"Thank you, Master, for the name." The two kowtowed again, and Bai Yunxi directly asked them to stand up. She turned to look at the girl beside her who was looking at her with big eyes.
"You can't speak, but you can't even have a name. I see you're quite smart, and I met you in the middle of winter. Let's call you Winter Spirit, right?"
Bai Yunxi said, watching the little girl tilt her head and think for a moment, then nodded happily.
"Do you know how old you are?"
Dong Ling nodded and gestured with her hand. Bai Yunxi was surprised to see that the little girl was already ten years old, and she was not even as tall as Yaya.
In this way, three more servants were added to the family, Shu An is eighteen years old, Shu Qing is twenty years old, and Dong Ling is ten years old.
"You have just arrived. You will be living in the West House for the time being. Don't move around without firsthand. I will take you to the hospital tomorrow to check it out. If everything is okay, I will take you home."
Bai Yunxi looked at them and explained softly, "I have a baby at home, so I have to be careful."
There is no dignity to be said for being a slave. It is touching enough that the master can explain the reason to them.
Baiyunxi also had no ink marks, so the next day, he took them to the medical clinic and had the doctor check their pulse.
Fortunately, apart from some physical damage, the two of them had no major problems. The doctor prescribed some supplements to adjust them, and then they would eat and drink enough.
"Doctor, please see if the injury on this girl's forehead can be repaired, and if her mute disease can be cured."
The doctor checked it over, frowned and thought for a moment, "The scar is very deep, and it is unrealistic to completely recover, unless there is a secret medicine."
Bai Yunxi understands this. Secret medicine generally refers to medicine used in the palace and is not accessible to ordinary people, so it means that it is not mentioned.
"As for the mute disease, this girl is not congenitally mute, and there is no throat disease. It seems like aphasia caused by a shock the day after tomorrow." After the doctor examined her, he frowned and spoke.
Baiyunxi frowned as he listened, "How to cure something like this?"
"Medicine is ineffective for this kind of mute disease, unless a triggering condition is encountered, that is, the incident that caused her aphasia reappears. After being stimulated again, she may recover. It depends on her."
Baiyunxi listened and was silent. He looked at the girl's big eyes and sighed with pity. She was really an ill-fated girl.
After returning to the courtyard with a few people, Mrs. Du immediately greeted her, "Mom, what do you say?"
"It's nothing serious..." Bai Yunxi didn't hide anything, and directly told her the doctor's diagnosis, and then looked at Dong Ling, "Whether she can recover depends on her luck. I originally wanted to let her do it for Yaya. I’m afraid I’m in trouble now.”
That girl is as lively as a little monkey and a talkative one. If you encounter a winter spirit who can't say a word, you might become anxious soon.
Du: "..."
It's a pity. Why can't such a good child stop talking?
While he was talking, Xiao Si had already driven the carriage into the yard. Looking at the sudden appearance of a few more people, Du Shi explained to Bai Yunxi before he could speak.
"Mom saw how hard it was for the fourth brother to travel back and forth alone, so she went to Yahang to match you with a few people, so that the fourth brother could commit suicide."
When Xiaosi heard this, he smiled and said, "If things get busy, our family is really short of people, and two more people can be busy."
Since there were two more helpers, Xiaosi worked even harder. In his spare time, Bai Yunxi told him the true purpose of the two of them.
"Didn't we talk about hatching ducklings last year? Mom wants to teach the two of them that we can hatch the ducklings ourselves and save having to find someone to buy them. Although it doesn't save a lot of money, it can save a lot of trouble. , and can increase the number of hatches anytime and anywhere.”
Listening to mother's plan, Xiaosi's eyes suddenly lit up, "I listen to mother, Shu'an and Shuqing seem to be honest people, so I can rest assured if I leave it to them."
Bai Yunxi raised the corners of her lips. Honesty and duty were not as practical as holding the other party's contract of betrayal. When Xiao Si experiences something, she will understand it without her having to say it.
Xiao Si had helpers here, and Bai Yunxi didn't stay in the county for long. After saying goodbye to the Zhang family, he took Du Shi back.
She didn't have to worry about the business because Xie Yu was helping her. She didn't have any use for herself here. She might as well go back to see her grandson.
As the number of ducks in the duck farm decreased day by day, a string of money went into her pocket, and the New Year came in a blink of an eye.
Bai Yunxi changed into a new purple dress, tied a low bun, and inserted two old silver hairpins. She exuded a noble and elegant temperament.
Looking back on what happened this year, not only did they have more people, but they also had many happy events.
Last year was wonderful for them.
Bai Yunxi sat in the main seat, watching the family laughing and talking, and she was very happy.
They had a reunion dinner together, gave out New Year's red envelopes, and said some auspicious words. This year was officially over.
Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, this year is a critical moment for Xiaowu's examination, and he still can't slack off.
The family stayed together until the Lantern Festival, and Xiaowu rushed to the college to study, bringing gifts for Xie Yu and the Zhang family.
As a student, it is his responsibility and courtesy to honor his teacher during festivals.
Xiaowu is famous for his love of learning. She knows that this child is very motivated and has many worries. He went to the academy early to encourage himself.
Bai Yunxi did not object. During the New Year, the Zhang family would not let Xiaowu live alone in the academy. They would definitely place him in the mansion, so she just let him go.
