28, Chapter 28 (1/2)

The seven-year-old girl sat down with a sense of grievance. She sniffed, and the fragrance of the small dumpling milk tea around her made her mouth drool involuntarily. She swallowed her saliva and lowered her head. She wanted to hide her red eyes because she knew that her grandmother would not give her these things to eat.

Yang Haiyan couldn't tell what she felt. She did have some sympathy for the little girl. This sympathy was just like seeing posts on forums about women being abused by their families. It was only a short-term sympathy. She would not help the little girl out of sympathy. She had no responsibility or obligation to do so. Taking a step back, she could help for now and give the little girl a cup of milk tea for free. Could she help for a month or a year? And then give the little girl food for free? That was impossible.

It was said that if she helped the little girl now, someone like Zhang's mother might become more aggressive towards her and make her come to her place every day to eat.

Besides, her blood relatives didn't care, so why should she, an outsider, care? However, she felt a little uncomfortable.

The guests kept coming one after another, and Yang Haiyan restrained her thoughts to entertain them. When the number of guests gradually decreased, the Zhang family had already died.

Later, in early November, Yang Haiyan calculated the profit of last month, plus the wholesale sales of Yang Dahua, deducting the cost, and actually made 16 taels of silver. In fact, it was the last three days of activities and Yang Dahua who were more powerful. She didn't know how much Yang Dahua made from wholesale sales in the county, but Yang Dahua wholesaled ten times this month, and she made a total of 5 taels of silver.

In October, the snack shop made a gross profit of 16 taels. After deducting the monthly salary of 600 yuan for Aunt Hong and the other three, and deducting their monthly expenses, there was still a surplus of about 12 taels. In other words, their family spent about 3 taels on food this month. You should know that when Qin Fang was a centurion, his monthly salary was only 1 tael. So, the more you earn, the more you spend. This is really true.

"Haiyan... Haiyan..." The voice of Lu's wife came from the door.

"I'm here." Yang Haiyan came out of the room, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Lu's wife: "Hurry, the cabbage and radish have been delivered, just outside the family room, let's go and get them."

Yang Haiyan heard: "Here they are." Their cellar has been dug and can be put in.

Outside the family room, there are so many people.

There are a total of 500 centurions and 50 thousand-man families in the family room. The guerrilla generals, who were above the thousand-man commanders, lived in the general's mansion in the county. Although not every household of the five hundred centurions had family members accompanying the army, more than half of them did, so there were many families buying cabbage and radishes at the door of the family room today.

Sister Lu called Yang Haiyan, and then went with Yang Haiyan to call Yang Dahua. The delivery of cabbage and radishes today was arranged in advance, so whether it was Sister Lu, Yang Haiyan, or Yang Dahua, everyone made time for it.

Even Zhang's mother asked her eldest granddaughter to take care of her younger brother at home, and she hurried to buy cabbage and radishes.

Yang Dahua: "There are so many people here. These old farmers who grow vegetables are doing really well."

Sister Lu: "That's right. Many people here grow cabbage and radish for a living. Buying a batch in winter can be regarded as the annual income of an average family." Military families like them seem to be more impressive than ordinary people, but it's just a name. The soldiers here don't have land, and this yard is not as big as some ordinary people's yards in the countryside, so the homes of local people are really more comfortable than theirs.

"Mrs. Lu, here." There were carts of cabbage and radish lined up at the door of the family room. It was not just an old farmer's family. A woman from an old farmer's family saw Sister Lu and greeted her loudly. There were so many people and her voice was so soft that she couldn't hear it.

Mrs. Lu: "I'm here." She has been with the army for several years and has bought cabbage and radishes from this old farmer for several years. She also bought eggs from them every day, so she is familiar with them.

Mrs. Lu brought Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua over. Several familiar centurions greeted Mrs. Lu: "You are here. We have bought everything. Let's go first."

Mrs. Lu: "Don't worry, there are enough anyway."

The old farmer's wife: "That's right, don't worry, there are enough cabbage and radishes. We have brought three carts in front, and there will be more in the back. We will definitely finish them today." The woman in her forties looked older than her actual age. She looked tired, but she was energetic in her tiredness. These days, we have been harvesting cabbage and radishes from the ground. How can we not be tired? But we can make a lot of money, so how can we not be energetic?

Mrs. Lu: "I still believe in you, elder sister. Your cabbage and radish are sweet. You can eat them raw after washing them with clean water."

Old farmer's wife: "Mrs. Lu, you are too kind. We grow cabbage and radish in our village. Every family takes good care of them. There is not even a bug on these cabbage and radish."

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she felt that this aunt was a smart person. She not only praised the quality of her own cabbage and radish, but also praised other people's cabbage and radish, and would not offend anyone. However, there are many people who need cabbage and radish, and there is no competition between her family and other families, so there is no need to belittle other families.

Not only this aunt, but also several families selling cabbage and radish nearby said the same thing. Maybe it was the village head who was in charge of it.

Three carts of cabbage and radishes weigh about 2,000 kilograms each, and cost two cents per kilogram. These three carts can earn four taels of silver. Although they are the fruits of a family's work, life with money is worth seeing. ‌And the prices in the border areas are not low at all, because there are many traveling merchants and ‌make money. Just like the jade bracelet from the Zhenbao Pavilion, it may not be sold for two thousand taels of silver in his county, but it can be sold here. This is the reason why prices are driven by trade. (Traveling merchant: non-Qiguo merchant.)

Soon it was Yang Haiyan's turn. She asked for a total of 480 kilograms and paid 960. There are so many things that Yang Haiyan can't carry, but the sons and daughters-in-law of old farmers will deliver them on trolleys.

After four hundred and eighty kilograms of cabbage and radishes were delivered to the yard, Yang Haiyan called Uncle Hong and Aunt Fan and asked them to move them to the cellar. In the cellar, there are also bacon, rotten bones, pickled radishes and pickles. ‌ With the addition of cabbage and radishes, it is packed full and full, and it has a bit of a Chinese New Year flavor.

While moving things, Yang Haiyan asked Uncle Hong: "Uncle Hong, can I raise chickens in a yard in a busy city?"

Uncle Hong: "I'm afraid it won't work. We don't raise chickens in the town. We only eat noodles once. When the chicken crows, it will make noise in the neighbors and people will complain about it." They don’t want to raise them, so no one will say anything, but the people in the town think they are nobler than the villagers, and they look down on the villagers, so they won’t raise them. What's more important is that almost all the yards in the town are adjacent to each other and are not as big as those in the countryside. Because every household is close to each other, the rooster's crow will indeed disturb other people's homes.

Yang Haiyan originally thought that if she could not eat fresh meat during the two months of winter, it would not be good to eat bacon. If she could raise chickens, that would be great. But it makes sense to hear what Uncle Hong said. People are social animals, and they can't disturb others because of themselves. So she stopped thinking about it and bought it on the platform if it didn't work. When people asked, she said she bought it from a rural farmer.

In the early morning of November 19th, Qin Fang came back after his duty was over.

After going to deliver several baskets of snacks to Qin Fang at the end of October, Yang Haiyan didn't see him for more than half a month. Seeing him now, I suddenly realized that I missed him a lot: "Your face and lips are dry."

Qin Fang: "It's winter here and the weather is very dry. It's okay."

Yang Haiyan prepared hot water for him: "You wash your face first, and I'll get something. By the way, wash it with soap."

Qin Fang: "I know."

When Qin Fang washed his face, he saw Yang Haiyan coming out with a wooden box and a bowl of water. She put some water in and opened the lid of the wooden box, and bursts of fragrance came out. Qin Fang knew that this was what she put on her face. When he went to bed at night, he could smell the fragrance on her face.

Yang Haiyan: "Come here, sit here."

Qin Fang sat down in confusion and looked up at her, blinking in confusion, a bit silly.

Yang Haiyan dipped a handkerchief into the water in the bowl. It was moisturizing water. She couldn't take out the original can, so she had to pour it into the bowl. She couldn't use cotton pads, so she dipped the handkerchief in the water and gently applied it to Qin Fang's face. Shoot ‌.

Although Qin Fang was puzzled, he did not move. He stared at Yang Haiyan. I found that his wife's nose was very straight, her eyes were very big, her mouth was very small, and she was very rosy. Qin Fang swallowed unconsciously and felt his throat was dry. "Yanyan..." He couldn't help shouting.

Yang Haiyan patted him with moisturizing lotion and was about to apply moisturizing cream on him when she heard him call out: "Huh?"

Qin Fang: "Yanyan, I want to eat your mouth fat."

Yang Haiyan was stunned when she saw that Qin Fang had already clasped her waist with his iron arm and pulled her to sit on his lap. Then a pure male breath penetrated into her nostrils, and his lips pressed against hers. On her lips. He was not satisfied with this kind of collision, and when she was in a daze, his tongue had already entered her mouth domineeringly.

Bang bang bang...

Yang Haiyan heard her own heartbeat. Speaking of it, she liked this kind of man who was proactive and domineering in flirting. He was damn charming.

He was obviously still a twenty-year-old little brother, very innocent, but at this moment, his kiss made her legs weak. She was as soft as cotton in his arms, her hands tightly holding the clothes on his chest: "Mr. sir..." Her voice was charming and sultry.

This sound was the fuse, igniting Qin Fang's remaining sanity. He couldn't help himself, and his forbearance was completely out of control at this moment. He held the woman in his arms tightly, because he had never held a woman like this before, so his strength was a little too strong, which hurt Yang Haiyan.

Yang Haiyan's reason came back at this time, and she quickly stopped him: "You promised me that you would wait until you are 18."

Qin Fang grabbed her hand and said even more aggrievedly: "I'll just touch it."

two quarters of an hour later

When Qin Fang returned to the kitchen after taking a shower, Yang Haiyan had already served some noodles: "Come and have breakfast quickly. Eat and take a rest."

Qin Fang sat up with a red face: "Well, thank you, wife." He grinned like a fox who had stolen something. In fact, it did steal the fishy smell. This smell made him almost lose control as he had never touched a woman before.

After dinner, Qin Fang brushed his teeth and went to rest. When he was sleeping, Yang Haiyan spread a carpet beside the bed, then sat on the floor and started making boots.

Qin Fang turned his head and looked at the peaceful woman on the bed: "My commander's military department has arrived. The commander's courtyard in the family room has also been vacated. What do you want? It’s time to move over.”

Yang Haiyan didn't know about this: "Is the yard different?"

Qin Fang explained: "Of course it's different. The commander is a seventh-grade officer, and he can have several private guards here. Moreover, the commander's courtyard is a quadrangle with two entrances, which is different from the small courtyard here."

Yang Haiyan found that Qin Fang was a little different. Before, he was reserved and calm, speaking very little. But now, he is more energetic. This is probably the difference between a centurion and a thousand-year-old. Becoming a captain of thousands has already entered the threshold of a military commander and an official of the imperial court.

But confident men are very attractive.

Yang Haiyan: "Are we living in the same courtyard where Captain Ao Qianfu lived before?"

Qin Fang: "Yes, I will take you to see this afternoon?"

Yang Haiyan: "‌, but the kitchen needs to be changed to be like our house. After we move to ‌, the oven here will be dismantled." It's not ‌‌ to leave ‌ to let people know how to make pastries.

Qin Fang: "Well, it's up to you."

It didn't take long for Qin Fang to fall asleep. He was already tired, so he kissed like this before breakfast, and settled the spark when he went to take a shower, so he fell asleep very quickly.

Yang Haiyan makes Qin Fang's boots, which are made of wool and fur. They are the same as modern snow boots, but they are made of real fur.

The material of the snow boots was thick, so she worked slowly. She had to make a hole for each stitch and then sew it up with needle and thread. Otherwise, she would not be strong enough and would not be able to pierce the leather with the needle. Speaking of which, if she didn't have the memory of the original owner, she wouldn't be able to make shoes.

However, although they are making snow boots, they cannot be compared with modern snow boots, because whether they are rubber soles or beef tendon soles, they cannot be made in this era. Even if she can buy rubber soles and beef tendon soles on her platform, she Don't dare to buy either.

During this period, Yang Haiyan was slowly finishing more than half of the work. In two days, the pair of shoes would be finished.

When Aunt Fan came to cook at noon, she learned that the adults were back and the amount of food she cooked increased. After lunch, Qin Fang took Yang Haiyan to see the captain's house.

When going out, Yang Haiyan wrapped herself up tightly, wearing a jacket inside and a cotton-studded cloak outside. Her whole figure looked like she was carrying a quilt on her back. Not to mention, she also brought a ‌Hand stove, just afraid of the cold.

Qin Fang looked at it 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 hold the stove in my hand all the time, but I can't take you with me all the time."

Qin Fang was helpless after hearing this. Since then he has learned more words, and after listening to the history of the state of Qi, his knowledge has gradually grown. He is no longer the young man who only knew a few words 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 hand and led her from the Centurion District to the Thousand-Children District. Occasionally, people would pass by them and they would stop to look at them. Maybe they felt a little bit uncomfortable. Surprised, and a little overwhelmed.

On the way, Qin Fang introduced: "There are fifty families in the commander's district. Counting the ones we have in General Ao, there are ten of us. Among them..." He briefly described the character of each commander and the situation at home. introduced one side. These are all the things he found out during this period. Because he knew that his family would move there sooner or later, he asked about the situation in the captain's house to give his wife a better idea.

This man does things carefully, or attentively. Only when a man has you in his heart will he be attentive. If you are not in my heart, doing things is probably the way straight men do in modern times.

Some people said that the man was straight, so he didn’t think much about it. In fact, if a straight man is not straight, it is just intentional or not.

When they arrived at the house they entered, because General Ao's family had moved, the house was already 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 except the house.

However, there are also underground areas. Because people have lived here, cellars and other things have been dug.

The house they entered was very large, and it was incomparable to the small courtyard they lived in now. If the house is big, it will look empty. If there are few people, it will be especially lonely.

The shape of this house is a two-in-a-siheyuan, divided into a front yard and an inner yard. The front yard is for receiving 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 division is very clear.

Yang Haiyan: "The beauty of this house is very obvious. In the future, my husband can also entertain his colleagues here." If we were in the small courtyard where we live now, there really would be no place to entertain.

Seeing that she liked it, Qin Fang was also happy: "Let's go to the inner courtyard and have a look."

Yang Haiyan: "Yeah."

The couple looked around the inner courtyard, mainly looking at the main house. If nothing unexpected happened, they would live here in the next few years. Like Qin Fang, it is impossible to be demoted as long as he makes no mistakes, so if he wants to change places, it will be unless Qin Fang is promoted or Qin Fang dies.

Therefore, Yang Haiyan will be more attentive to this house. ‌The small courtyard where I live now cannot be used carefully even if I want to. However, if she moved here, she would be a little far away from Sister-in-law Lu, Yang Dahua, and the journey would take about ten minutes. By then, she would have to socialize again, and she would feel a little lonely. "Will the house we live in now have to be vacated for the new centurion?"

Qin Fang: "Yes, but there is no rush. Right now, he is alone and living in the military camp. If his family members want to come over, it will be after the new year, waiting for the two months of winter disaster to pass." Here, there are The two months of winter are also called winter disasters.

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she immediately said: "Then our new house can be renovated, and there is still time."

Qin Fang: "It's up to you. Tell me which areas need to be renovated. I can ask people to do it at home these days. Even after the break, I can do it when I come back during the day."

Yang Haiyan: "Yes. Let's go to the carpentry workshop and get all the furniture we need in the house first."

Qin Fang: "‌."

The order placed by the couple in the carpentry workshop can be said to be a large order. The furniture was all ordered according to Yang Haiyan's wishes. However, relatively speaking, the price of these furniture is still reasonable, because Yang Haiyan has no requirements for wood, and other people require mahogany, etc. The material didn't matter to her, just ordinary wood. From the bed to the wardrobe, wall cabinets, shoe cabinets and bedside tables, they are all similar to modern ones. It doesn't matter, things like style are all based on your own needs.

However, they have a lot of furniture that they ordered, and they can't finish it in a short while.

When sleeping at night, Qin Fang talked about another thing: "On the fifth day of December, General Ao's promotion and move-in ceremony will be held at the General's Mansion. You will follow me to the General's Mansion at that time. In fact, originally Ao Ao The general's wedding banquet was early, but because my military officer didn't come, he specially selected my deputy to come. "

Upon hearing this, Yang Haiyan said: "General Ao treats you with great care."

Qin Fang: "Yes. He has helped me." So he respects General Ao very much.

Yang Haiyan: "It's November 19th now, and there's still more than half a month left. You have to tell me about General Ao and Ao ‌‌'s character."

Qin Fang: "Well, General Ao has a rough personality and is quite cheerful. So far, I haven't had much contact with him. The only time I have had contact with him was when I went to see General Ao at the Commander's Mansion. But, she...she looks a bit like my mother."

Yang Haiyan was surprised: "Are they similar to my mother?" One is a captain, and the other is a peasant woman. Are they similar? As if thinking of something, Yang Haiyan asked, "General Ao is also a farmer, right?"

Qin Fang: "Yes. General Ao also started his military service and rose up one level at a time. Ao ‌‌ is a local, and his character is quite refreshing."

Yang Haiyan understood. I'm afraid that when Qin Fang said that she was similar to his mother, she was referring to her personality. "Ms. sir, the gift we prepared for General Ao doesn't need to be ‌‌, as long as it's practical. You were a centurion before, and it only cost you one tael of silver a month. General Ao also knows our situation. If It’s prepared, the limelight is huge, and it makes people suspicious, what do you think?”

In this regard, Qin Fang has no opinion at all, because he knows that her wife is well-informed: "You make the decision."

Yang Haiyan: "Tell me about the situation in General Ao's mansion, mainly the backyard. How many children does the general have? Does he have any concubines..."

The couple chatted until late at night.

The next day, the couple went to the county seat. Qin Fang is now a commander of thousands, a seventh-grade officer, and he has to have people at his side. It sounds like he is serving, but in reality he is delivering messages and running errands. Then seventh-grade officers are allowed to have five private soldiers to train as their confidants. These private soldiers are different from the soldiers in the military camp. However, the private soldiers also have private soldiers, which are issued by the Yongzhou County Government. ‌ Moreover, private soldiers and their masters share weal and woe.

On the way to the county seat, Yang Haiyan asked curiously: "Ms. sir, what kind of private soldier do you want to choose?"

Qin Fang: "I plan to choose from the officers who have completed their military service. The officers who entered the military camp earlier than me will have completed their military service at the end of the month, and five will be selected at that time. They were originally me. When I was a centurion, I I have a basic understanding of the strength and character of these people, so I feel comfortable and confident in using them.”

Yang Haiyan: "My husband is very considerate. How about letting Uncle Hong stand in front of you before these soldiers complete their military service? He is a local and is familiar with this place. Then we are buying a few people." ”

Qin Fang: "No need, it only takes a few days. As for his affairs, you can make the decision, and everything will be up to you."

Yang Haiyan: "Ms. sir, you are so true, you will listen to me in everything."

Qin Fang likes it when she praises herself. Every time she praises herself, she always feels like her tail is going to be raised. Oh, ‌He doesn't have a tail.

Yang Haiyan: "Then let's pick two people, both of whom are on death contracts. At the dental shop in town before, because only Uncle Hong could read, there was nothing he could do if he was on a living contract. Let's see if there is any chance of death this time. The death contract is for someone who is literate. Choose a woman who does rough work. It doesn’t matter if she is illiterate. Otherwise, Aunt Fan would have to go to the snack shop, buy groceries, cook, and do laundry, which would mean a lot of life. ‌Aunt Hong is at the dim sum shop every day, after all, the shop cannot be without people.

Qin Fang: "Listen to you."

The couple arrived at the county government office and went directly to the pawnshop.

The pawnshop owner warmly welcomed them: "Sir, my dear, are you buying people?"

Yang Haiyan: "I want to buy two pawnshops with a death contract. One is the most literate, honest and steady, the best at combing hair, and she must understand the rules and etiquette of officials. The other is for rough work, it doesn't matter if she doesn't need to be literate." Although Yang Haiyan can comb the hairstyle of this era because of the original owner's memory, it is really tiring every time she combs it. However, she still likes pawnshops when buying people, because pawnshops and Qin Fangzhi don't need to avoid risks, and if a young girl has bad thoughts, she will have to deal with it, which is very troublesome.

Yes, Qin Fang is now an official, and his family has to follow rules and etiquette. She understands this, but she finds it troublesome to hire someone, so it is better to find someone who understands rules and etiquette.

The county government's pawnbroker is different from the town's pawnbroker. The town's pawnbroker cannot compare. When the pawnbroker heard Yang Haiyan's request, she immediately selected six people.

The pawnbroker: "Xiao Xiao, the three on the left are all literate, and they are from wealthy families. They were originally maids in wealthy families. The master's wife couldn't make it, so they sold all the maids. The three on the right are all rough maids, and they are good at work."

Of course, no one knows whether the maids the pawnbroker said were really sold for this reason. In order to get rid of the maids as soon as possible, everyone listened to what the pawnbroker said. However, she didn't dare to deceive Yang Haiyan. When she heard Yang Haiyan say that she wanted to find someone who knew the rules of an official family, she thought that the young man in front of her might be from an official family. Although the pawnshop was an official pawnshop, it didn't dare to cause trouble.

Yang Haiyan: "I will select the maids first. You three can introduce yourselves. Tell us about your previous family, previous master, and the reason for selling yourself." She didn't want to cause trouble. Moreover, she was not afraid of them lying, because everyone's household registration in the county government would be recorded.

The first one: "Xiao Xiao, my name is Liu Yue'e. I came here because of a flood. My family members died on the way. I sold myself and just wanted to have a place to settle down."

Yang Haiyan looked at her and couldn't tell her age, but her unhealthy face vaguely showed that her facial features were in good condition. Yang Haiyan: "If that's the case, you sold yourself on your own initiative, why didn't you sign a living contract? Instead, you signed a death contract? Or, find yourself a man, even if he's a widower, you'll have someone to rely on for half your life, which is better than being a slave to someone else."

"This..."

Yang Haiyan knew at a glance that the other party was lying: "You can withdraw, and find another one."

The second one: "My name is Yu Zhaodi, I'm 36 this year. I originally had a son and a daughter, but my son died in an accident. The previous man wanted to have a son to carry on the family line, but I'm too old to have children, so the man knocked me unconscious and sold me. He probably used 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 didn't have the money. But she didn't expect that he would be so heartless as to sell her and use the money to marry another one.

Yang Haiyan didn't expect there would be such a thing.

Yu Zhaodi knelt down again: "Dear, please buy me. I can do any rough work or any rough work. I originally wanted to die, but I was worried about my daughter. Dear, please..." After saying this, Yu Zhaodi kowtowed to Yang Haiyan. She kowtowed very hard, and the sadness in her eyes did not seem fake, and the tears were even more real.

After a few kowtows, her forehead was red, which showed how hard she was.

Yang Haiyan sighed: "Get up first, stand aside, I want to listen to this."

Yu Zhaodi refused to get up: "Damn, I am really good at work, I don't need anything, I don't need to eat enough every day, and I don't need monthly allowance, please buy me..."

Yang Haiyan frowned: "According to our country's laws, it is illegal to pawn or sell wives and daughters, unless they are concubines. You are the legal wife, right?"

Before Yu Zhaodi could speak, the matchmaker said: "Don't worry, we are a legitimate matchmaker. If there is a problem with the identity of the person, we will not sell it in. I have seen her The contract of selling a child bride was that her family sold her to her previous husband as a child bride. Strictly speaking, she was a slave bought by her previous husband. Many child brides were slaves, but there were also charitable families who would remove the slavery and return the contract of selling a child bride to their spouses after the couple got married. But her slavery was not removed, and the contract of selling a child bride was not a living contract, but a dead contract. "

Yang Haiyan did not expect there would be this question, she asked Yu Zhaodi: "Is that so?" Hearing this name, Zhaodi Zhaodi... Yang Haiyan also believed the words of the matchmaker, this woman must have been bullied in her natal family.

Yu Zhaodi nodded: "Yes. But, I can work, I was very capable at work when I was at my natal family, and I served the whole family when I was at my husband's family, please buy me." After saying that, she continued to kowtow.

Yang Haiyan: "Okay." She said to the matchmaker, "Give me her deed of sale." She was not opposed to anything within her ability. Of course, if the person was not of good character, she could still resell him.

Yu Zhaodi kowtowed several times after hearing this: "Thank you, sir... Thank you, sir..."

Yang Haiyan: "Stand aside, the three of you here, introduce yourselves."

The first one: "‌‌‌, I am the wet nurse of a wealthy family. Because I ate the wrong food..."

Yang Haiyan knew that many wet nurses would choose from home births, and she felt at ease. However, if she gave birth to a child, she would definitely feed it herself. Unless she had no milk, she would not feel comfortable letting her child feed on someone else's milk. I heard from this person that the baby got sick because of something wrong with his milk. Even if the child is fine in the end, the nanny cannot be entirely blamed, but Yang Haiyan does not dare to buy such a person. No matter which position you are in, carefulness is the most important thing. She can tolerate fat people being stupid, but she can't tolerate fat people being careless. Carelessness can be fatal.

Yang Haiyan: "The second one, please introduce yourself."

The second woman stood up and saluted Yang Haiyan first: "‌‌‌, this slave has no surname. She is 42 years old. She was sold to the lady to serve her since she was a child. The lady named her Xiaolian. The lady is marrying Later, the young lady gave birth to a little brother who was not in good health, and left within a few years. Originally, the servant and the others were left to take care of him, but my brother-in-law later married a daughter-in-law. The ones at the back were mistakenly sold by the slaves. "

Yang Haiyan heard that her words were reasonable and her posture was respectful. She looked like she had been trained and was the same as before. She couldn't help but ask: "Which family are you originally from? Which family did your young lady marry later?" ?”

The second mother-in-law said: "This servant is originally from the Qingzhou Yuan family's side. Mr. Yuan once had a second rank, and the young lady married into the right family."

Yang Haiyan: "With your status, how dare the woman you marry later betray you? Even for the sake of the Yuan family, she won't betray you. Otherwise, she shouldn't either. Your deed of sale."

The second mother-in-law said: "After the death of the young lady, the deed of sale of the slave was in the hands of the uncle. The family behind it was more powerful than the Yuan family. In other words, although the slave was the young lady's side before, , but it’s not like the nanny who is being looked down upon. The nanny at the back will naturally not be sold.”

Yang Haiyan had a good impression of her, mainly because she was well-spoken and had seen a lot of the world. However, she did not decide immediately. She nodded: "The third introduction is ‌."

The third old lady stepped forward: "‌‌‌, I don't want to sign a death contract, and I didn't even sign a contract with Yahang. Yapo is my friend, so I let the old slave try it." ”

Yang Haiyan heard this: "What's going on?"

The third woman slowly said: "The old slave was originally from the local Qingshui Village. His parents died when he was young, and he grew up with his uncle and his mother-in-law. When he was thirteen years old, the imperial court drafted all the unmarried girls at the age of fifteen. Selected into the palace. The mother-in-law at home was reluctant to let her fifteen-year-old cousin be selected to the palace, so she asked me to pretend to be the cousin... After the old slave entered the palace, she became a maid in the palace. According to the court law, Fa, the palace maid can only leave the palace when she is twenty-five years old. When the old slave reaches that age, he thinks that there are no relatives in the family anymore, and the family relationship with his uncle has been broken when the old slave enters the palace. The relationship remained in the palace again, until when I was forty years old, the master of the palace passed away, and those of us who were serving in the palace were all sent out..."
