On the way back, Mama Fang and Yuxi got in a carriage.
Mother Fang said bitterly, "Girl, I don't know how to do the accounting?" Before, she only counted the monthly expenses. By the end of the month, add and subtract to calculate the income.
Yuxi smiled and said: "When the time comes, please ask a manager, and don't want him to squat in the shop every day, just come here every three and five to keep the account."
Fang's mother was a little embarrassed: "How do you calculate the wages?"
Yuxi said, “It’s enough to give two taels of silver a month.” According to modern parlance, it is to find a part-time accountant.
Fang's mother felt that the money was a bit wronged.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Mom, there are no rules and no squares. The bun shop has such a good business. When the two people you teach have learned how to use it, I am going to open another branch. If the accounts are not clear at that time, it will be easy. Let people fish in troubled waters." Mama Fang has now accepted two apprentices, both of whom have a physical bond in hand, and Yuxi doesn't worry about them being tricked.
Fang's mother felt that Yuxi was right, so she no longer objected.
Yuxi said: "Mom, the nanny will come to the mansion in two days. It will be difficult for me to leave the house again in the future. If my mother has something to do, let Hongshan's sister-in-law help. Come home."
Mother Fang was a little relieved, and said, "Girl, you have to learn from Mr. Song and the parenting grandmother." Once you have studied well, you will be able to marry a good family in the future.
After entering the city, Yuxi separated from Fang's mother. Hongshan then said, "Girl, if I open another bun shop, can my sister-in-law go to help at the shop?" The helper at the bun shop costs 800 yuan a month, and also includes breakfast. Arrangement, this treatment is really good. You know, her monthly money for a first-class maid is only eight hundred dollars a month.
Yuxi smiled and said, "We'll talk about it when the shop opens. It's too early to say this now."
While talking, suddenly the carriage came to an emergency brake. In the event of an emergency, Yuxi reacted quickly and immediately grabbed the edge of the carriage with both hands and did not let herself hit the carriage. Hongshan didn't react as fast as Yuxi, and hit her forehead on the carriage, making a big bag.
Hongshan raised the curtain of the car angrily. Before she could ask the coachman what was going on, the coachman hurriedly explained: "Miss Hongshan, a girl suddenly rushed onto the road. I was afraid of hitting someone and quickly stopped the carriage." It was a person, not a beast, and the coachman also conditioned the car to stop.
After hearing this, Hongshan saw a girl lying on her stomach two steps away in front of the horse. The girl was not very old, she was about ten years old, and she fell to the ground with a pale face and blood on her clothes. , Looked like a ghost.
Hong Shan was so scared that she sat back in the carriage.
When Yuxi saw Hongshan like this, she became curious. Raise the curtain and probe out to look out. Before she had any thoughts, two people came to meet her.
The two people who ran over were both big and rough. One of the men with a mole on his face saw the girl on the ground and shouted, "Here."
After speaking, he strode over, and the eagle grabbed the girl lying on the ground like a chicken, and then hummed: "You run, why don't you run? Run if you have the ability?"
The girl's eyes were filled with despair.
Yuxi looked at the despair in the girl's eyes, and thought of her death in the thatched hut for some reason. At that time, she was so desperate. Yuxi's heart trembled and shouted at the mole man: "Put her down."
Hongshan immediately lowered the car curtain and said to Yuxi: "Girl, you can't save it. Looking at these people is not a good person!" This girl is 80% of a fugitive slave.
The mole man turned his head and saw Yuxi's carriage and several family members with him, he knew it was a wealthy family. Those who were mixed in the capital still had this vision, and the two of them didn't dare to offend them, and immediately said, "Girl, this is our girl from Chunxiang Tower. She is waiting for an opportunity to escape. We caught her and went back."
When Hong Shan heard Chunxianglou, her expression changed: "Girl, I can't control this anymore." Chunxianglou is a brothel! How can the girl get in touch with the people in the brothel.
Contrary to Hongshan, Yuxi was relieved to hear that the other party was Chunxianglou. The people at Chunxianglou can handle it well, as long as they can afford it, even the oiran can buy it, let alone a teenage girl: "How much? I bought it."
A different color flashed on the face of the man with moles: "I can't do this. If you want to buy it, you have to ask our owner."
Yuxi ignored the mole man, but asked the girl who was caught by the mole man: "How much is your worth?" Being able to escape from Chunxiang Tower shows that this person is courageous. I'm not afraid of death.
There was a glimmer of hope in the girl's eyes, a glimmer of hope: "Twenty taels."
Yuxi said to the mole man: "I will buy her at five times the price, what do you think?"
Hearing this, the mole man hesitated.
There was hope of survival in the little girl's heart, staring at the mole man and said: "If you must catch me back, I won't live." She would rather die than be like these people.
The mole man knew that the dead girl was stubborn, and didn't know how many times he had beaten him without bowing his head. This time he escaped by taking advantage of their negligence: "Smelly girl, good luck." The dead girl didn't want to eat, and said I'm not allowed to take it back, really looking for a short sight. Anyway, it's not a country of beauty, it's better to sell it, at least it can make a small profit.
There was a look in the little girl's eyes, which meant that she had agreed to sell her. Thinking of this, the little girl looked at Yuxi eagerly. If you can live, no one wants to die.
The mole man yelled to Yuxi, "I'll let someone get her body contract, and we will pay for it and deliver the goods."
Chunxiang Tower was not far from their place, and the little girl's identity was quickly obtained. Yuxi said to the girl, "Let's see if that's your physical bond?"
After reading it, the little girl nodded and said, "It's my bond."
After getting the contract, Yuxi did not go back to the Guogong Mansion directly, but went to Shangyuan Street. She didn't dare to bring back the ghostly appearance of this girl, or she would definitely have to be scolded.
Yuxi looked at the wounded girl lying in the car and asked, "Who are you? How could you be sold to Chunxianglou?"
The little girl said: "My name is Ling Qi, and my father is a Ling member from Hexia Town. My father died of illness six months ago."
Hong Shan asked hurriedly: "Then why are you in the brothel? Where are your relatives?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Qi's eyes burst into hatred: "I was sold by my stepmother. I slept well at home, but when I woke up, I was in the brothel."
Yuxi looked at Ling Qi's face and said, "You can't deal with your stepmother, right?" Since Ling Qi's father is a member of the staff, he must be in a good family background. Ling Qi wasn't a national beauty, and she couldn't sell it to a brothel just because of her beauty. That one reason was that Ling Qi had an enmity with her stepmother.
Ling Qi nodded: "Without her, my mother would not die."
Yuxi doesn't need to ask anymore to know, how can this girl's temperament and the murderer's enemy coexist peacefully? Her stepmother sold her to the brothel not to make money but to retaliate: "Are there any relatives in your family? If so, I will send you back when you recover from the injury."
Ling Qi shook his head and said, "The girl saved me. My life is the girl's."
Being able to escape from Chunxiang Tower in spite of life and death over and over again, even if he was bruised all over his body, did not give up. It was obvious that he was extremely resolute. If this kind of person can sincerely submit, it will be a great help. Yuxi said: "You have to think about it. If you want to be by my side, it's a maid, and you have to be a slave. If you go back, you are still a good girl."
Ling Qi said sincerely: "Girl, I don't have any relatives in my family anymore. I don't know where to go even when I go back. There is a way to survive with the girl." Rather than following the inexplicable people, it is better to follow the girl, even if you are a maid, at least your life. Personal safety is guaranteed.
Seeing that she was not impulsive for a while, Yuxi nodded and said: "You go to Mama Fang's bun shop to heal your wounds first, and wait until you recover your wounds."
Ling Qi nodded and said: "Okay."
Fang's mother was soft-hearted, and she was very sympathetic when she heard Ling Qi's experience, so she was helped by Ling Qi to the backyard and hurriedly asked her for a doctor.
Mother Shen looked at the sky and said, "Girl, I have to go back, and the old lady will scold me if I don't go back again." It's almost dark, but the old lady has to be home before it gets dark.
Yuxi said: "Mother Shen, you send someone to Hexia Town to check, is there really such a person as Ling Qi?" You have to find out the details of the other party before employing them. If this person lied and used someone of unknown origin, then he would not know what would happen.
It's already the beginning of Xu Shi to return to the Guogong Mansion. Because he came back late, Yuxi was severely reprimanded by Mrs. Han.
Yuxi lowered her head and stood there obediently, being reprimanded by the old lady.
Seeing Yuxi like this, the old lady couldn't help but think of Yuxi's biological mother Ning clan. Every time she scolded Ning clan, Ning clan also looked like this. Thinking of this, the old lady should panic in her heart, "Go down!" There is a real need for fate between people, even if Yuxi's performance is getting better and better, there is such a biological mother, how the old lady treats Yuxi. Do you like it
Ok-hee retreated respectfully.
Only Luo’s mother was left in the house, and Old Lady Han said the truth: “I’m afraid I’m unfamiliar with this child.” She is respectful, but in fact she is very defensive, otherwise she won’t be able to prevent everything. Hongshan and Shen's mother, even if Hongshan has surrendered, still can't get her trust.
The mother smiled and said, "What does the old lady say? The fourth girl is your direct granddaughter, so there is nothing you are not familiar with."
If she weren't for her granddaughter, how could she tolerate such nonsense. Mrs. Han said: "I'm afraid she has a rift with her Laozi?" If Yuxi really does not kiss her biological father and has grievances against the family, even if Yuxi is excellent, she will have to cut off her wings.
Mother Luo said carefully: "Old lady, Madam Rong Nu said, the fourth girl is not such a coldhearted person, you see she is very close to the eldest lady and the second son." The old lady spent a month with the fourth girl. I haven't seen it a few times, where is the closeness at all. As for the third master, the third master has neglected the fourth girl too much in recent years, but anyone with a certain temperament can't get close. Not to mention the four girls who are so temperamental.
Mother Luo is very loyal to the old lady, and she often analyzes problems for the old lady from the perspective of bystanders, and the old lady can listen to her suggestions. Mrs. Han sighed and said, "The Wu clan is not a peaceful one." The Wu clan's style has made Yuxi and the third child estranged even more. But the third child didn't care about Yuxi's daughter.
Mother Luo also felt that Wu's eyelids were too shallow and the methods were clumsy, and she was offended before she came back: "When she comes back, the old lady will teach her well."
Mrs. Han shook her head and said: "I am old, I don't have so much energy. I will let go when I marry tomorrow, and enjoy two years of blessing." The Qiu clan has a strong stewardship ability, but he is a scumbag in this respect. , Handing over the home to Qiu's she is not at ease, now she can only pin her hopes on her future grandson-in-law.
Mother Luo smiled and said, "When the elder son gets married, the old lady will have to worry about the marriage of the three girls again. Where can the old lady really get leisurely."
Mrs. Han sighed: "Yes, as the saying goes, raising a 100-year-old child, and worries about ninety-nine, can really be free here."
