036 She, I bought it.
These little girls are all about eight or nine to twelve or thirteen years old. They wear coarse cloth shirts, their hair is tied casually with a cloth belt, and their faces are wiped clean. It is probably because Liu Er's family is afraid that the customers will not be able to see clearly. The appearance of the girls, that's why I specially cleaned them up.
I saw the girls all shrunk, met Yu Linglong's scrutinizing gaze, and lowered their heads one after another, as if they were very scared.
There was only one girl, with her head raised stubbornly, looking at Yu Linglong viciously, her eyes were full of resentment.
Yu Linglong's heart twitched slightly, her gaze stayed on the girl's face, and she couldn't move away.
The girl was about eleven or twelve years old, and she looked fairly handsome, but on this small face, there were a few fresh bloodstains with mud, which looked like she had just been injured.
What attracted Yu Linglong was not the wound on the girl's face, but the angry face, although it was still a bit childish, it was full of publicity and hatred, the white teeth tightly biting the lower lip, the small fist Clenched tightly, like a small animal about to jump out of the cage and bite.
Raising her eyebrows with a little interest, Yu Linglong stretched out her slender hand and pointed at the girl: "You, come here and let me have a look."
Liu Er's family was slightly taken aback, with some hesitation on their faces: "Miss Si, this girl is very naughty, why not... why don't you look at the other ones?"
Yu Linglong remained unmoved: "It's her, bring me here."
Liu Er's family frowned, but they still didn't dare to offend Yu Linglong, so they walked over and dragged the girl over.
"Take your dirty hands away!" The girl's clear and clear voice suddenly sounded, and the slightly childish voice was full of resentment, "I won't go!"
Being scolded by a little girl in front of so many people, the second Liu's family suddenly became angry, raised their hands and gave the girl a heavy slap in the face: "You damn girl, do you still think you are a young lady? Why don't you give it to me quickly?" Come here, old lady!"
With a bang, the girl's fair face instantly became red and swollen, but her pair of black eyes looked up at Liu Er's family without fear.
"I won't go!" The girl's crisp voice resounded loudly, "I will not die as a slave!"
"I think you deserve a beating—" Liu Er's family rolled up their sleeves and wanted to teach this stubborn girl a lesson on the spot.
"Wait!" Yu Linglong said coldly, "Hemerocallis, go and bring her here."
Hemerocallis disregarded the blushing faces of Liu Er's family, walked straight forward, took the girl's hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, our lady just wants to see you, there is no other meaning."
The girl shook off Dayliflower's hand: "You are all bad guys! You are all bad guys who killed my parents!"
Yu Linglong frowned, where did this nonsense come from
Liu Er's family was taken aback, fearing that the girl's words would cause some trouble, they hurriedly explained to Yu Linglong: "Miss Si, don't be angry, this girl used to be a lady of the Fuwei Escort Bureau, after the accident in the Fuwei Escort Bureau, she Parents were beheaded by the government, she was sold out at a young age, and escaped with her life."
As he said that, he pushed the girl fiercely: "Crazy girl, keep talking nonsense, and I will beat you to death!"
The girl staggered a lot from being pushed, but raised her head not to be outdone after standing firm: "If my father and brother were here, I'd let them chop off your hand!"
"Hahaha!" Liu Er's family burst out laughing, "Your father and elder brother have died long ago, let me see who else will protect you!"
The girl's tears rolled back and forth in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to fall. Her big eyes were fixed on Liu Er's family, as if she wanted to goug out a piece of her flesh.
The members of Liu Er's family stretched out their hands, directly lifted the thin little girl over, pushed her down in front of Yu Linglong, and said fawningly: "Miss Si, although this girl is a bit naughty, she is born well, I heard she can be a little Fist and foot, if you can train them well, you will be a very good maid."
Yu Linglong had been looking at Liu Er's family coldly, and raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing this: "Oh? She can also punch?"
Liu Er's family laughed: "Miss of the Escort's family, how can you not be able to punch three times."
Yu Linglong took a sip of her tea, apparently not believing what the Liu family said, "If she knew how to punch, how could she tolerate your humiliation?"
Liu Er's family laughed triumphantly: "You don't know about this fourth young lady. I have been in this business for so many years, and I still have some experience. If there is a thick or dishonest girl, Guan She won't give food for a few days, no matter how powerful the girl is, she will be honest!"
Yu Linglong's eyes swept over the girl's pale face. At this moment, she was pressed to the ground by Liu Er's family, but her thin body kept struggling, and her small hands desperately grabbed at Liu Er's family, refusing to hold her for a moment. stop.
Seeing the girl's appearance, Yu Linglong's heart throbbed suddenly for some reason.
In a trance, it seems that I saw my childhood self. That day, my mother took a knife and slashed at my father. Blood was everywhere in the house. She was crying loudly in a pool of blood. The neighbors next door and the passers-by did not agree Come and see what's going on. The world seemed to have lost all warmth, and her heart also cooled down bit by bit, until it reached freezing point.
Just like the girl whose family was ruined at this moment, her wounds were displayed bloody in front of everyone, but no one cared or showed pity.
"Let go of her." Yu Linglong blew on the tea and said flatly, "Her, I bought it."
The Liu's family was overjoyed, and immediately kicked the girl on the crook of the leg: "Quickly kneel down and kowtow to your new master!"
Before the words fell, there was a slap, and a deep bloodstain appeared on Liu Erjia's forehead. Liu Erjia was startled, and then felt sharp pain, and screamed out.
She really didn't understand what she did wrong, and she was hit hard by Yu Linglong's tea bowl. Although her forehead was in severe pain, she knelt down subconsciously: "Miss Si..."
"I said to buy her, she is mine, what right do you have to teach her again!?" Yu Linglong's pretty face was frosty, her voice was cold, "Take your money, get out!"
Liu Er's family didn't dare to speak anymore, covered the wound on their head, and led the group of girls away.
The bought girl stared blankly at what was happening in front of her eyes, as if she still didn't understand that her fate had been completely changed. Hemerocallis stepped forward, wiped the ashes on her face with a bit of distress, and said softly : "Does it still hurt?"
The girl's blank gaze landed on Yu Linglong's face, and she finally got the focus: "You...you hit her because of me?"
Yu Linglong got up, but did not answer her words: "Hemerocallis, take her down, wash her up before coming back."
The girl came back to her senses and knelt down on the ground with a plop. Her head, which had been held high after being beaten for a long time, finally lowered slowly: "Miss..."
037 General Jade returns home
After dinner, Hemerocallis entered the room with the freshly tidied girl.
"Miss." The girl knelt down after entering the room, and kowtowed heavily to Yu Linglong, "Maidservant, send my regards to miss."
Yu Linglong frowned slightly: "Aren't you willing to die as a slave? Why are you kowtowing to me now?"
The girl raised her head, and there were two lines of crystal tears hanging on her pretty face: "The slave has no home, and no parents. What difference does it make if you are a slave or not?"
Hemerocallis at the side turned away and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes. Obviously, she had already asked about the girl's life experience just now, and she was very sad for a moment.
Yu Linglong picked up the teacup calmly: "What's your name, how old are you?"
The girl replied in a low voice: "My servant's name is Fu Ling'er, and she is twelve years old."
"Fu Ling'er, blessed to the heart, it's a good name." Yu Linglong nodded, "From now on, you'll be called Ling'er, and learn the rules from Lily Dayler."
"Yes, the servant has recorded it."
Hemerocallis stepped forward to help Ling'er up, and said, "You've been hungry for so long, I'll take you to eat something first."
Unexpectedly, Ling'er broke free from Dayliflower's hand suddenly, took a few steps towards Yu Linglong's knees, kowtowed her head repeatedly, and said in a sad voice: "Miss, you are a good person, I beg you to save my servant's younger brother!"
Yu Linglong frowned slightly: "Your brother? What happened to your brother?"
Ling'er wiped the tears from her cheeks, and cried: "The servant was sold out together with the younger brother, who was bought by a family named Liu, and I heard that he was going to be a stable boy...Miss, the servant's My brother is only ten years old, he is still so young, how can he do such an errand? Miss, please be merciful and buy my brother too!"
Listening to Linger's cry, Yu Linglong sipped her tea and remained silent.
No wonder since she bought Ling'er, she became so obedient all of a sudden, she wanted to beg Yu Linglong to buy her younger brother again.
However, a girl who is only twelve years old can still remember that her brother was bought by someone when her family was ruined. It is rare to have such thoughts at such a young age.
Hemerocallis listened to it with tears streaming down his face, and wanted to ask Yu Linglong to help Ling'er, but he still didn't dare to say it.
Ling'er is a girl, so it is logical for Yu Linglong to buy her to be a maid, but her younger brother is a servant, what can Yu Linglong do if she buys him
Yu Linglong gently blew on the warm tea, but the words that came out of her mouth made people feel cold: "Why should I save your brother?"
She is not a good man and a believer, and she is not interested in doing charity in ancient times. Buying Fu Ling'er was just a whim of her decision, but what does Fu Ling'er's younger brother have to do with her
Ling'er was taken aback for a moment, then gritted her teeth fiercely, and said, "This slave has nothing but this life. If Miss is willing to be merciful and buy the slave's younger brother, this slave's life will be Miss's."
