Chapter 234 (1/2)
In the past, it was just a sleep. The day and night suddenly became very long. Miss Li curled up on the ground, hoping that the night would pass quickly.
A man suddenly appeared in front of her. Miss Li looked up and saw the woman in the daytime. She turned her head to the other side and didn't look at her.
”Well, my name is Fang ruxiu, the daughter of a senior official. What's your name?” Fang ruxiu stretched out her hand and asked jokingly.
Miss Li was angry when she heard her ridicule, but she looked up and saw her sincere face. She put her hand on her hand, stood up and said her name: ”my name is Li Yulian!”
”Oh, Li Yulian, isn't it? Good name.” Fang ruxiu smiled and took her to her garden, ”Although you robbed my things yesterday, which made me very angry, I thought about it tonight. I think it's too cheap to let you go. I think you should give back ten times what you robbed me, so I don't want you to freeze to death here.”
Fang ruxiu explained why she came here. Li Yulian was angry and said, ”you've been watching me all the time?”
”No, I don't have such a special hobby. I'm busy all day. Where can I have time to monitor you?” Fang ruxiu shook her head and said.
”Then how did you know I was here?” Li Yulian asked again.
”You think all the guards here are idiots.” Fang ruxiu smiled. ”They found you, so they informed me.”
”Is this house yours?” Li Yulian asked.
”No, I can't afford to buy such a good house. My father is just a farmer who depends on heaven to eat in the field, but he can't afford such a big yard.”
Fang ruxiu's words were harsh in Li Yulian's ears. She thought her words must be alluding to what she said before, ”her father is a senior official”, but she didn't refute. Who told her that she is cold and cold now. She can grab food when she is hungry. It's easy to freeze and shut up.
Fang ruxiu takes Li Yulian to the yard where Zhong Li and others lived before. Zhong Li and others have left. At the moment, it is just empty.
”You can sleep here today. This is my friend's yard. He has been out for a while and won't come back.” Fang ruxiu found her an empty room on the first floor, took down a quilt from upstairs, and then said, ”rest early. If you have anything to say tomorrow, you'll just come to lanxiangyuan to find me.”
”Oh, good.” Li Yulian nodded and agreed.
Finally, I slept on the soft quilt. Although it was not as good as when I was at home, I could barely sleep. At least it was much better than when I slept in the pavilion before.
After tossing about in the middle of the night, Li Yulian soon fell asleep when she came to a warm room.
Early the next morning, Daya got up. She went to make porridge for Fang ruxiu and others, and then ran to the city to call yapo.
Fang ruxiu is practicing martial arts in the yard. She feels a little strange to see Daya sneaking out alone, but she doesn't care so much about her. She doesn't limit her freedom.
After breakfast, Fang ruxiu was reading in the house. Daya led the toothed woman to the door. She called the cook and two little girls and led the toothed woman to see people.
”That's them.” Daya said, ”these people bully our young lady and bully the LORD with slaves, so we don't want them. Calculate the price, and then bring the girl to pick for our young lady.”
When the three men heard Daya call them, they were still a little foolhardy. When Daya brought the toothed woman to them and said the above words, they were really afraid.
”Daya girl, we know we are wrong. Please forgive us this time.” the cook immediately knelt down and begged.
If they betray the reputation of deceiving the Lord and are sold again, they can't find such a relaxed thing. Later, someone bought them. At most, they do some rough work. They don't get the attention of the master's family. Maybe they will be bullied by other servant girls. At least their reputation is bad.
In the slave market, there is also a way. For example, these little girls who have never been with other owners are the most valuable and valued people. The cook is not as good as the little girl. After all, many people like to cultivate their own cook from an early age.
Second hand slaves, even if someone wants to buy them, will also ask them who the last buyer was and what they committed to be expelled from the house. If someone asks in the future, how should they answer.
When Daya heard the three begged for mercy, she didn't even answer, but she continued to say to the toothed woman, ”give me an estimate, bring a girl to show us in the afternoon, and buy some more.”
”Yes.” the granny nodded hurriedly and patrolled in front of the three people.
The toothed woman was fifty or sixty years old and had fierce eyes. The three people didn't dare to look up at all. They just knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Daya began to explain, ”we have given you a chance, and more than once“
”When the young lady came back, you were not there. When you came back, you were not respectful and didn't do any work. You didn't listen to the young lady's orders and didn't let you get up, but you disappeared yourself. In the evening, we sat in the study and gave you a chance to apologize, but you didn't come at all. In that case, what else do you have to do?”
After all, no servant girl dared not listen to the master. Moreover, in the days when Fang ruxiu was not here before, they had already taken a long holiday.
