”You can keep this two taels of silver,” The servant turned around and fished out another two taels from his sleeve, passing them to Qin Sanniu. Seeing that she did not dare to accept the money, he explained, ”This is an old rule of the house, those who sell their bodies here, as long as they have parents, it's not anything good. ”It was originally ten taels of silver for you to sell. Keep this two taels well.”
In the deep courtyard, this rule revealed a bit of human feelings.
Qin Sanniu never thought that Palace would have such rules. Her heart jumped, and was immediately overjoyed, she immediately extended her hands to receive the silver, and carefully kept it, then said a few auspicious words to the servant.
The servant saw that she was listening carefully, so he said a few extra words to her, ”My name is Duo Fu, since you have already sold yourself to the clan, we should be the same in the future, there is no need to worry so much, if by any chance you are lucky and get Third Young Master's green eyes, I might still have a place to rely on you at. Once I take you to the Spring Orchid Garden later on, I will naturally teach you what you should do and what you should pay attention to in the future,” Duo Fu said as he held a thin piece of paper in his hand, leaving behind a blank space with his name and handprint.
This kind of paper had clearly been prepared a long time ago. It was unknown how many of them had been saved and how many had their lives changed.
Qin Sanniu silently followed behind Duo Fu. The pleasant surprise in her heart had gradually turned into shock because of what Duo Fu had said. What did she mean by getting Third Young Master's green eyes? Even though she had never been a servant girl, she knew that as a maid, the most important thing was to fulfill her duty. How could she speak of her relationship with her master so openly? Qin Sanniu recalled the smile of the owner on the noodle stall before. At this moment, he realized that there was some kind of hidden meaning to his smile.
If he was selling himself to be a concubine, then from Qin Sanniu's point of view, this act was no different from Widow Song's.
Qin Sanniu endured her silence and followed Duo Fu all the way to the main entrance of the Spring Orchid Garden. She raised her head and saw three thin words with a graceful look on them. She did not know who had written them.
Qin Sanniu knew a few simple words, and it was all because of her mother. Her mother was originally the daughter of a poor Elementary Scholar, and because her family had been in decline, she had no other means of marrying Qin Fu Gen. Qin Sanniu had followed her mother since young. Although she had not learned much and was not good at it, for a girl like her, it was already more than enough.
The Spring Orchid Garden was like its name, it was bustling with business. Although there weren't many evergreen plants in the early spring, there were only a few that weren't afraid of the cold and were straight and good-looking. The few places that were left were all filled with dark soil, so it wasn't hard to imagine what kind of vitality the weather would bring when it got hot.
Qin Sanniu stood in the middle of the courtyard and heard the young ladies' laughter from inside the house.
