Chapter 168 Corrupt life
...
The sun is scorching.
After the exhortation of her aunt, Qin Luoxia looked at every maid and servant in front of her with eyes full of love.
These are not ordinary people, these are treasures, and they should be cared for like the big treasures in the family.
Ordinary tenant farmers have no land, let alone livestock.
But some wealthy small landlords have their own land and livestock. Livestock can do a lot of work. They regard livestock very seriously. They can be hungry, but livestock cannot. Livestock are important members of the family and are big treasures in the family.
Qin Luoxia understood after listening to her aunt's explanation.
The deeds of these maids and servants are in her hands and belong to her family property. She can sell them or kill them, but she has to handle the beginning and end of the killing well.
But when I thought about it, I remembered that Sister Yu almost sold herself to the city as a maid, and I hated Auntie Liu so much. It was a pity that Auntie Liu passed away at the end of last year.
Normal families would not buy maids from other places, unless the maids were consumables and they would have to deal with the trouble of finishing them. Moreover, maids were usually from one household to another. If a maid was killed, they would have to deal with the whole family, which was also troublesome.
Those who went to unfamiliar places to buy maids would either buy them back to sell kilns or do jobs lower than maids. Just like these singers, dancers and actors in the mansion, in addition to singing, dancing and acting, their bodies were also for the enjoyment of the rich and powerful, and they would give them to each other. The aunt
taught the mother and daughter in the room, and did not let the maids outside hear.
The house was high up, and it was still a little far from the gathering point in the courtyard.
Those who lined up to gather stood in the sun for a while. At first, they were still messy, but gradually they stopped chatting and tried to stand up spontaneously. The
sun was silent, and they were silent too. They were so thirsty. When everyone stood up, it at least looked good. The aunt asked Qin to choose the people first. If divided by area, the kitchen needs people, the courtyard and garden need people, the guest room needs people, this can be mobile, the gate needs people to take care of the livestock, the carriage needs people to drive, and each master needs someone to serve him. Qin Luoxia asked, "Those who can read, stand up and go left. Those who can drive cars, those who can plant trees, and those who think they have special abilities should also go left." A woman timidly stepped forward and knelt down and asked, "Does being able to sing opera count as a special ability?" Qin Luoxia nodded, "Yes. No matter what ability you have, it counts." With this, most of the people had already walked to the left. There were still dozens of people left, some anxious, some calm, and some looking at the mistress. It was not that those who walked to the left looked more powerful, and there were also many capable people who stayed. However, Qin did not argue and said to her aunt that this group of people should be sold first. The people at the pawnshop were called by Aunt Yin early in the morning to wait. Aunt Yin gave an order and came to count the number of people. The people in the pawnbroker were also very well-behaved. They knew this Yin Gu, who used a counter-thief to kill the stepson's family and sold all the servants, and they took over. Servants are important assets in the family and are worth a lot of money. Some maids think highly of themselves and don't want to obey or please the mistress who gets up early to cook for herself, a woman from the countryside with a strong country vigor, so they don't move. But they didn't expect that the mistress couldn't even distinguish between the real and the fake, and just sold them. As for those who walked to the left, Qin Luoxia asked again: "Those who don't want to stay can walk out. My family is sparsely populated and we don't need so many people." So the people who walked out from that side went back to their families because there were family members among those who were sold. Qin Luoxia screened several waves in this way. Finally, she asked the people who stayed what each of them was good at, and then she assigned different tasks, and slowly they became proficient. Jiang Mianmian sat obediently and watched A Niang select people. There was an inexplicable empathy of the leader, and the leader might also have the first time to be a leader. It was a bit awkward at first, but slowly she became proficient. Because you are standing high, others are trying to guess your joys and sorrows, and your every move becomes important and meaningful. Watching A Niang assigning work, it was very orderly. The aunt didn't stop them or say anything. The aunt taught them behind the scenes. In front of everyone, the aunt always looked like an obedient old lady. Finally, a group of ancient literary and artistic practitioners stayed...singers and dancers. There were nine people in total, five girls and four men. Qin Luoxia asked one by one what they were going to learn, and they answered one by one, carefully. Their ecological niche in the mansion is lower than that of maids and servants. Perhaps seeing them, Qin Luoxia can't help but think of San'er Jie Xi, so she is relatively polite. "What do you usually do?" "When the master is eating, we sing and dance to liven up the atmosphere." "When the master is lonely, we sing and dance to liven up the atmosphere." "When the master wants to listen to opera, we sing opera." "We practice martial arts during the day, and mainly perform shows at night." Jiang Mianmian raised her little ears and listened to their answers. I sighed in my heart that human preferences have not changed from ancient times to the present. Ancient people didn't have mobile phones, so they couldn't use their mobile phones while eating, and they didn't have televisions, so they could only eat while watching live performances of real people singing and dancing and showing their legs. When I was lonely at night, I didn't have mobile phones or computers, so I couldn't watch TV series, and these people also performed various dramas. Jiang Mianmian saw it this way and felt that the ancients were really excited in some aspects. Nowadays, you can watch a young lady dancing live on your phone and give her a lot of tips without even seeing her face. Here, she dances right in front of you. You can also give her tips in person, and she will kneel down to thank you in person... corrupt! Jiang Mianmian wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, looked at Jiang Xiaoshu who was blocking her way, and moved Jiang Xiaoshu away. She stared at one of the beautiful girls with a coquettish figure.
These people were trembling with nervousness. They heard last night that Lord Sima came to the city and killed Little Phoenix Fairy as soon as he saw her.
The little girl was shaking especially hard.
She was the prettiest among them. She had always been pretending to be ugly, but yesterday the old nanny saw through her and asked her to take off her disguise.
They were far inferior to Little Phoenix Fairy, and were sent around by their masters like floating duckweed.
Jiang Mianmian had not spoken a word. Her mother assigned her a sturdy, big-faced maid, and she had no objection.
But when she saw these nine people, Jiang Mianmian said, "Mother, let me play with them."
Qin Luoxia was stunned and turned to look at Yin Gu.
Aunt Yin looked at her nose and her heart, looking at her toes, thinking, Qin, show your ability to beat the child, and beat him, the child will be obedient.
Qin Luoxia saw that her aunt lowered her head.
It should mean that she agreed, so she nodded and said, "Yes."
