Tofu Xishi: General Mo ran

Chapter 415 Back Home (V)

Miao Douer looked at the row of little girls kneeling on the ground, the older ones were only fifteen or sixteen years old, while the younger ones were just over ten years old based on their stature.

"Don't be afraid, tell me one by one where you are from and what your name is." Xiao Jiaozi stood aside, looking at the group of nervous little girls who dared not even raise their heads, she felt pity in her heart.After receiving Miao Douer's signal look, she said so.

Among the kneeling little girls, Miao Douer only noticed one.The girl seemed to be quite old, she had reached the point of hairpin, her head was coiled up, and she fixed her hair with a wooden hairpin.

The wooden hairpin looked very much like the one carved for her by her husband on her head, which attracted a lot of Miao Douer's attention.

A few little girls reported themselves next to each other, some stuttered and looked extremely nervous, some moved their eyes around when they spoke, and they had a petty air, which couldn't be taken out at first glance.Some voices were louder, and they also said that they were from farming families, but their eyes were simple and honest, and it would take some training.

Finally arrived at the little girl with the wooden hairpin on her head. She waited until the girl next to her finished speaking, then kowtowed respectfully to Miao Douer, and then said in a moderate voice: " Mrs. Hui, my daughter, Zhao Shuiya, lives in Chunsheng Village, Yipeng Prefecture in the south."

The girl spoke with a strong southern accent. Although she seemed to be trying her best to speak Mandarin, there was a smell of southern water between the lines.

Some little girls immediately laughed out loud and looked at Zhao Shuiyao's face.

After all, Little Dumpling had also been instructed by the servants of Prince Anqi's Mansion to follow the rules. When she heard a little girl laughing, she immediately looked over with a frown, and secretly remembered the appearance of those girls.

Miao Douer saw that although the girl was ridiculed, but her face was blushing, her head was lowered and her back was straight, she immediately liked her.

"Zhao Shuiya, since your family lives so far away, why did you come to our Miao family town?" Miao Douer asked.

"Returning to Madam, my mother and I came to the north to look for my father, but when I came here, I found out that my father had already gone. My mother had a heart disease, and she had been lying in bed for more than a year, but she also went. I buried my mother , There is no way to survive, so I begged Granny Huang to sell herself, and asked her to take me to a good family to be a slave to earn a way out."

Speaking of this, the human-ya Huang woman also came forward and said to Miao Douer: "Ma'am, what this girl said is exactly. When she came to beg me, I also felt that this girl was old, maybe she I will despise her for being too old to be trained, and she will have to be released after two years of service. But she is indeed pitiful, and she is good at sewing, so I will bring her here to show you."

When Miao Douer heard this, she immediately felt pity.She thought that she had also gone south to find a husband, but that feeling was bitter in her heart, let alone with a child...

Looking at this girl again, although her skin is not white, it is clean, and although she is wearing old cloth with patches and patches, it is still neat and tidy, not even a single crease.At this moment, she was kneeling on the ground, and she didn't ask her anything, and she didn't interrupt. It seemed that her tutor was good.

People in the south have high cheekbones and small eyes. This girl's face is also a typical southern appearance. In addition to this southern accent, the origin is no different...

Miao Douer thought for a while, then turned her head and said a few words to Xiao Jiaozi, who immediately agreed.
