Xie's face was stern, very unhappy, "You are real sisters, do you think of your own sisters like this? Don't you understand the principle of sisterhood
You are usually asked to read and understand, but seeing you like this, you have taken all my words as deaf ears. "
Gu Yue was so wronged that she was about to cry, "Mother, I..."
Mrs. Xie didn't show any sympathy, "Apologize to your second sister first."
Gu Yue looked at Gu Jiu with vicious eyes.
Gu Jiu looked so heartbroken that his body could no longer support him, leaning against the back of the chair, his face pale and bloodless.
On the other hand, Gu Yue's face was ruddy. Although she is half a year younger than Gu Jiu, she is taller than Gu Jiu in appearance.
Anyone who saw this scene would take it for granted that Gu Yue bullied Gu Jiu and made Gu Jiu fall ill.
What's wrong with Gu Jiu
Of course it's a physical weakness!
What are the characteristics of this problem
Of course I can't stand it. As soon as I got angry, I felt sad, my body was too weak to stand up, and I had to lie down for several days.
It's not clear if the previous Gu Jiu had this problem.
Anyway, the current Gu Jiu, sure, sure, added such an unbearable problem. Very delicate.
"Second sister, did someone bully you?"
Gu Ting rushed in hastily.
Gu Jiu's heart skipped a beat, why did his brother come here? Not at the right time.
Gu Yu looked at Gu Yue fiercely, "Third sister, did you bully the second sister?"
Gu Yue burst into tears, taking the opportunity to get rid of the embarrassing situation for her.
"presumptuous!"
Xie took the opportunity to attack, patted the table, and angrily reprimanded Gu Ting, "Sanlang, are you sensible? Are there any rules for rushing in without notification?"
Gu Ting has a stubborn temper, and only listens to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu hurriedly gave him a wink to tell him not to make trouble.
Even if Gu Ting was dissatisfied, he lowered his head, "Greetings to my wife. I was too worried about my second sister, so I was in a hurry."
Mrs. Xie was furious, "It's ridiculous! In my place, there are people who dare to bully the second girl. I think you have no rules. Let the master discipline you well."
Gu Ting lowered his head and remained silent. He secretly looked at Gu Jiu, very concerned.
Gu Jiu's heart warmed up. Although my brother was reckless, it was all because he was worried about her.
"Ma'am, brother, he knew he was wrong."
Gu Jiu secretly sighed, and let Gu Yue go for now. Otherwise, she would have to take all of Gu Yue's face off.
Xie stared at Gu Jiu with a half-smile, "Is the second girl not feeling bad?"
Gu Jiu said weakly: "It's still uncomfortable. But when I see my brother, I feel happy in my heart, so it's not so uncomfortable."
"So that's how it is. You brothers and sisters have a deep bond."
Gu Jiu smiled, "It's like the third sister, sixth brother, and eighth brother. Brothers and sisters have deep feelings."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows and smiled, but Gu Jiu could tell the difference clearly.
"Since Sanlang is here, please sit down. The mansion is short of manpower, and we are going to add a few smart and sensible maids. Second girl, do you have any fancy ones?"
Gu Jiu looked at those fresh faces, "Madam please let me choose slowly."
Xie smiled and said, "Don't worry."
Gu Jiu is not in a hurry to make a decision, she wants to see what Xie's plans are.
There were more than twenty girls of different sizes, the most stunning one was the thin girl standing in the front row. Truly a natural stunner with a natural charm.
With such an outstanding appearance, why did he sell himself into slavery? With her beauty, she can be a concubine for a rich master in minutes. Why do you want to be a slave
Could it be that this girl has some background
Gu Jiu couldn't help but pay more attention to that girl.
Jiang Yan lowered her head, not daring to look around.
The verbal confrontation between the girls before had already opened her eyes, and she realized that what the nanny told her was not aimless.
It's really not that easy to work in a big family.
Jiang Yan has been beautiful since she was a child, and she is also very good at using her beauty for her own benefit.
Her parents were both honest farmers, and they were ugly, but they gave birth to a beautiful girl like her.
Everyone said that the golden phoenix flew out of the chicken coop, and the Jiang family wanted to prosper.
Also because of her beauty, the whole family loves her like a baby and never wants her to work in the fields.
Everything was fine at first, but since last spring, disasters have hit my hometown.
By the beginning of spring this year, the family has been unable to uncover the pot.
Li Yuanwai, a wealthy family in the town, wanted to marry her as a concubine, and promised to give her a dowry of one hundred taels.
With this one hundred taels, the Jiang family can live. You can also buy land and houses, and marry your eldest brother and second brother a wife.
But Jiang Yan didn't agree, she thought Yuanwai Li was old and ugly.
Even if she really wanted to be a concubine for the old man, she would also be a concubine for a wealthy family, a high-ranking official and an aristocrat.
Just a member of the staff wants to marry her, dreaming.
Jiang Yan has big ideas, and her family can't persuade her at all.
Seeing that the whole family was about to run out of food and flee famine, Yuanwai Li pressed harder and harder.
Jiang Yan gritted her teeth and took the initiative to find Master Yazi, signed a five-year contract of living, exchanged herself for ten taels of silver, and settled the family's livelihood.
After traveling to the city, she trained under the hands of the nanny for three full months, and finally she was going to work in a rich family.
Jiang Yan cherishes this opportunity very much, she is also smart, and has already seen that the second girl everyone is talking about was not born to her wife.
But the second girl is very courageous and resourceful.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu twice, and it happened to meet his gaze.
Jiang Yan panicked and lowered her head hastily.
Standing beside Jiang Yan was her fellow countryman Guo Taohua.
Guo Taohua is average in appearance, shorter in stature, thin, with yellow hair, and looks malnourished.
There are still calluses on the hands, which are left by years of heavy work and exhaustion.
Guo Taohua's family is very poor, so poor that she has to sell her children.
The Guo family's parents wanted to sell their two young daughters, but Guo Taohua couldn't bear to have her younger sister become a slave at such a young age, so she sold herself, signed a death contract, and entered the city.
She didn't think much, she only thought that a big family would buy her, work for her, feed her, and give her monthly money. Then save the money and send it back to the family.
With a sweep of Xie's eyes, she probably already knew these twenty or so little girls.
Ren Yazi waited in front of Mrs. Xie, "Madam, do you like it? If not, I'll make another batch tomorrow."
Xie asked indifferently, "Have you trained them all?"
"Madam, don't worry, everything has been adjusted. You can use it when you buy it."
"Ok!"
Xie took a sip of tea and said, "Stretch out your hand."
Twenty or so girls stretched out their hands together.
The nails are clipped and the hands are washed clean. There are a few pairs of white and tender hands that are eye-catching, and Jiang Yan is among them.
There are also a few pairs of cracked and callused hands, which are also eye-catching.
Mrs. Xie raised her hand slightly, and pointed casually, "This, this... keep these few."
Ren Yazi was overjoyed, "My wife has a good vision. You guys, why don't you hurry up and thank your wife."
"Kowtow to the wife."
Guo Taohua was selected, she was very confused, knelt down and kowtow mechanically.
Jiang Yan looked calm, and was a little disappointed not to be selected, but this one didn't work and there was another one.
Xie said again: "I remember the maids in Sanlang's room who were still being used. Why don't you choose two now and take them back to serve you personally."
Then, Mrs. Xie pointed at Jiang Yan, "Sanlang, do you like this maid? She looks really good-looking."
Gu Jiu looked at Jiang Yan, that face was naturally charming. She immediately understood the purpose of Xie's play.
Mrs. Xie bought the maid not for her, but for her brother.
