Don't panic when fleeing famine, the farm system is busy raising cubs to get rich

Chapter 226 Lu'er
Xia Qiyue was about to take out some money, when the fat toothmaid's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Little lady, you just started talking about wanting a literate girl, right?"

Xia Qiyue stopped what she was doing, looked at the matchmaker, and asked.

The old lady didn't dare to be foolish, so she said directly, "I have a literate girl here, and she knows a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting! She is a dowry maid trained by a rich family. She was temporarily sold by the master's family for stealing the young lady's dowry." ! If the little lady doesn't mind her dirty hands and feet, you can buy it back!"

The toothmaid didn't have much hope for this maid, she took it back at twelve taels, and she couldn't refuse it, because the master's family had a lot of business dealings with her, so she reluctantly accepted it.

After taking it back, it has been kept in the backyard, and I dare not introduce it to others. I am afraid that people will dislike her. The selling here is not very good, which will affect her business. But today, the little lady in front of me doesn't seem to understand this.

When buying a person, she didn't check anything, only asked whether she was healthy or not, didn't ask about his background, and didn't ask about his character. She even made a decision with just a quick glance.

However, it's not that Xia Qiyue doesn't ask, it's useless to ask. If she tells a lie, she can't prove it. She only believes what she sees with her own eyes. Yes, at least the seams between the nails, the clothes and shoes he was wearing were clearly seen, and he decided to look clean and neat.

"You? How old are you? You know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Xia Qiyue asked curiously.

If this is the case, she can consider it, because the three children's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are lacking a wife.

The dowry maids trained by rich families should be enough to teach a few little guys for a while, and then they will find a good wife.

"Yes, yes, I understand. She's not bad looking. She just stole the dowry from the master's lady and was sold out by the master's family. If the lady doesn't mind this, I'll bring him out for you to have a look at?"

Xia Qiyue took two steps back from standing up, and sat back down.

The meaning is obvious, wait and see that girl who knows how to play piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and can read.

The toothmaid was very quick and went to bring the man out.

The moment Xia Qiyue saw the person, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"It's you? Lu'er?"

She couldn't believe her eyes, because the Lu'er in front of her was no longer the first girl who ran to buy candy every day and was always chattering. She was unkempt and had bruises on her face, which made people afraid recognize.

Lu'er in front of her didn't expect that the person who said she wanted to buy her today was the candy seller Boss Xia.

The little girl nodded excitedly, "It's me! Boss Xia, please save me..."

"Be honest!" Before the little girl finished speaking, the matchmaker yelled.

I'm afraid that if she says something that shouldn't be said, the big guy in front of me won't buy her.

"Aren't you embroidering the dowry with your lady? How could you steal the dowry and be sold?" Xia Qiyue couldn't hold back her curiosity, she stared back at the prostitute, and talked to Lu'er.

Lu'er is obviously a bit afraid of toothmaids, and she dare not say some things now, there is only one sentence, "Boss Xia, buy me, I can read, I can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can carry water and cook, I can wash clothes Clothes, coaxing children, I can do everything, I am not afraid of hardship!"

She was afraid, afraid of losing this opportunity, that the prostitute would really sell her into a brothel in a few days.

She doesn't want to be a prostitute, and she doesn't want a pair of jade arms as a pillow for thousands of people. She would rather be a little girl and do rough work every day.

The matchmaker didn't stop Lu'er from promoting herself, and she had no enmity with Lu'er, so she could sell herself and save her trouble.

Xia Qiyue could see the longing in Lu'er's eyes, and she also knew a little about this girl, so she readily agreed to her request.

"Okay, come with me!"

Lu'er knelt down excitedly, "Thank you Boss Xia... no, madam for saving my life!"

At this time, Xia Qiyue still didn't quite understand why Lu'er saved lives one by one, she just thought that this girl couldn't stand the suffering of Yaxing, and she didn't sigh until she told herself the truth.

"In this case, the total is 150 taels!" The toothmaid suddenly rolled her eyes and directly raised Lu'er's price to as high as 40 taels.

You can make a full 30 taels.

Before Xia Qiyue could speak, Lu'er pointed at the toothmaid, "When you accepted me, the Qin family only wanted you ten taels of silver, and you turned around and sold it for 40 taels?"

Xia Qiyue looked at the toothmaid with a half-smile, "Is that so?"

The toothmaid gritted her teeth, "How do you know that the Qin family only needs ten taels? They asked for thirty-five taels! You can read, play music, play chess, calligraphy and painting, and know the etiquette rules of a rich family. It's rare!"

Xia Qiyue nodded, and then looked at Lu'er, "I'm sorry, Lu'er, I don't have that much money, you'd better wait for someone who is destined to buy you!"

After speaking, he turned around and was about to take the children away, but the few people who were selected just now were frightened.

"Ma'am, take us away!"

Especially the little girl, mother and daughter, came after Xia Qiyue, "Ma'am, don't you don't want Lu'er, and don't want us, we are cheap, we are only ten taels!"

"Fat lady, hurry up and sell it for the price! Is it really comfortable to keep it in your hand?"

Mei Niang glared at the fat tooth woman, with that attitude, if the fat woman angered their wives away, they would never end with the fat woman.

Xia Qiyue's eyes lit up, yes, this Mei Niang child can be taught, it must be worth buying it back, it is useful!
There were tears in the eyes of the two little maids. They just got a nice name. Seeing Madam's good temper, they wanted to follow Madam, they didn't want to stay here and suffer.

Xia Qiyue heard that the names of these two girls were either Da Nier or Da Ya, so she simply decided to buy them and changed their names, one was called Shi Shu and the other was called Shi Hua.

The fat woman was terrified, and quickly shook her fat and ran towards Xia Qiyue, shouting, "Little lady, don't pay 40 taels, don't want 40 taels, 20 taels, I'll sell you 20 taels!"

It was directly cut in half, but there were still some people who were unwilling, and only heard Mei Niang say, "Fat woman, you got it back at ten taels!"

Xia Qiyue admires Mei Niang's courage. You know, she hasn't bought them yet. If she really doesn't buy them, she will have to make a living under the hands of the fat woman.

Who knows, Mei Niang is betting, she bets that she is so hard on the madam, the madam will not abandon her to be tortured by the fat woman.

Xia Qiyue slowly stood still, "Ten taels, if I buy someone else, you can use Lu'er as a head for me, ten taels to me! Otherwise, I don't want it!"

The fat woman stomped her feet with a look of reluctance. Although she said that she took it back at ten taels, she still had to feed it for so many days. Doesn't the food cost money?
In the end, she had to sell it at a loss, and she really couldn't bear it.

Xia Qiyue turned around, "If I can't, I'll leave!"

"Okay, okay! You take it away!"

Everyone applauded, but those who were not chosen by Xia Qiyue looked disappointed.

I gave the fat woman 120 taels of silver, took everyone's deeds of selling their lives, and when they were leading people out of their teeth, I heard the voice of the toothmaid's distressed sighs.
