Chapter 2 The Sold Girl Sells Others
After three days of traveling here and three days of being hungry, Jian Ruonan finally learned the plot of this book about herself from the garbage system -
Zhou and her mistress Min gave birth to daughters at the same time. After Min gave birth, four big maids and four small maids took care of her during the confinement period, and her daughter had three wet nurses.
Zhou only had a maid with a face that had not grown yet, and her daughter needed her to breastfeed herself.
The treatment of the two was very different.
Zhou was greedy and asked the little maid to secretly bring Min's unfinished chicken soup. After being discovered, she was humiliated by Min's maids.
Zhou felt resentful and took advantage of a fire in the mansion one day to replace the two baby girls.
After the baby was replaced, Zhou bribed a wandering monk, claiming that Jian Ruonan, who was still a baby girl, was unsuitable for marriage. It happened that the old lady fell seriously ill during that period, so she sent her to the manor to be raised.
Within two years, Zhou was also sent to the manor for making a mistake.
Although Jian Ruonan was a concubine, she was considered half the owner of the manor.
After Zhou came, Jian Ruonan encountered the nightmare of her life. Zhou took Jian Ruonan's share by relying on her status as a concubine's mother, and assigned the work that was originally supposed to be done to Jian Ruonan.
Seeing that the manor's servants did not care, they also began to bully the original body, so the original body lived so miserably.
Three years later, Min accidentally learned the truth and sent someone to find Jian Ruonan. At that time, Jian Ruonan had been a concubine for three years.
After Jian Ruonan returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she could not read or play chess, calligraphy or painting, and could only pick up what Zhou's daughter Jian Chuxue left behind when it came to marriage.
But Jian Chuxue was brought up to be dignified and virtuous, and her reputation spread throughout the capital.
Jian Ruonan resented this and suppressed Jian Chuxue everywhere, and finally became a stepping stone for Jian Chuxue's success.
Yes, Jian Chuxue is the heroine of the original book.
......
After learning the plot, Jian Ruonan felt that the system was even more useless.
[Why did you only learn such important information after three days? Aren't you the legendary fighting system? ]
System: [Host, please believe in the professionalism of this system. It's not that the information is delayed, but because the relevant plot can only be triggered after the key characters appear. 】
Jane Ruonan didn't have time to waste time talking to the system. She didn't want to be sold out, so she had to find a way to save herself.
After the matchmaker entered the room, she kept staring at Jian Ruonan's face. She had seen Jian Ruonan before, but she didn't realize that this little girl was so pretty.
Especially those big obsidian eyes, which were so smart and lively, as if they had fallen into a star.
With just one look, the matchmaker was sure that Mr. Zhang would be satisfied.
The matchmaker glanced at Zhou, and Zhou understood, "Nannan, sit for a while. Mother will go out to arrange a carriage. We can go by car and buy more snacks that Nannan likes."
With that, Zhou took the matchmaker's arm and walked out.
As soon as she walked out of the door, Zhou's face changed immediately, "You have seen the person, she is so beautiful, ten taels of silver is really not enough, at least fifteen taels should be given."
The matchmaker made a "tsk" sound and whispered, "This is the daughter of the Marquis's family, you say sell her? If the Marquis's family pursues the matter, I will not be able to bear it. I think it's better to forget it."
The matchmaker flicked her handkerchief, turned around and was about to leave. Zhou snorted and scolded, "You cunning woman, twelve taels, no less."
The matchmaker really stopped.
Zhou twisted her body, stepped forward and took the matchmaker's hand, "Don't worry, that girl is unlucky in marriage, the Marquis' Mansion dare not take her back, and has long let her fend for herself here. No one has asked about her for so many years, why are you worried,
even if something happens, I will take care of it." The matchmaker was thinking about the five taels of silver and threw a handkerchief at Zhou, "Then make it clear, don't blame me if anything goes wrong."
"What can go wrong? Go and call a taxi." Zhou said again: "The taxi fare is yours."
The two discussed that after taking Jian Ruonan to the town to buy some things, they would send her directly to Mr. Zhang
's house. Maybe Mr. Zhang would be happy to see her and give her some rewards. While Zhou was talking to the matchmaker, Jian Ruonan slipped out through a hole at the back of the leaky house and slipped into Zhou's room.
Zhou's room was clean and tidy, and it was filled with solid wood furniture. Although it was not made of expensive wood, it was much better than Jian Ruonan's room full of holes.
Jian Ruonan found a mahogany box under the bed. The box was locked. She picked up a stool and smashed the lock with a bang.
System: [Nannan, what are you doing?]
There were a lot of small change and several banknotes hidden in it, all of which were collected by Zhou from Jian Ruonan over the years.
[I want to find my relatives and find some money.] The distance from the manor to the marquis's mansion in the capital is so far, of course I have to hire a carriage, do I have to walk there?
She will not let herself be wronged.
System: [Host, according to the plot, it will take three years before I can recognize my relatives! 】
Jian Ruonan:【Please shut up.】Five.
Jian Ruonan took the change and found a piece of paper at the bottom of the box. She picked it up and saw that it was Zhou's indenture.
Jian Ruonan was overjoyed. It was still unclear who was selling whom.
She put Zhou's indenture close to her and sneaked back to the leaky house. Zhou knew nothing and was still guarding the door.
The matchmaker called a car and came back to call for help. Jian Ruonan lay down on the bed and said, "I have a stomachache and can't walk."
Zhou glared at her and picked up the rattan stick on the ground to hit her. However, she thought that if she hurt the person and couldn't make money from the sale, it would be a big loss.
With the matchmaker here, Zhou didn't dare to go too far and coaxed, "Let's go to the town and let the doctor take a look."
Jian Ruonan looked at Zhou and said, "You carry me."
Zhou endured it for the money that was about to come.
Zhou carried the person to the carriage and sat her down. She glared at him fiercely. She was about to become the concubine of the old man. You would have a hard time then!
The three of them first went to the snack shop to buy a lot of mung bean cakes, butterfly cakes, peach blossom cakes, and hibiscus cakes. Zhou then insisted on going to the silk shop to buy cloth.
After shopping for a whole morning, the three of them went to the restaurant to eat.
While ordering food, Jian Ruonan pretended to have a stomachache and wanted to go to the toilet. She came out of the restaurant and slipped to the pawnshop next door.
The pawnshop saw a little girl coming in and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jian Ruonan took out Zhou's indenture: "A 28-year-old woman who has given birth and still has some looks. Do you want to buy her?"
Seeing a young girl being sold for the first time, the trafficker asked in confusion: "Who are you to her?"
Jian Ruonan: "I am the owner of her family. If you don't believe me, ask the driver at the door."
The driver saw Zhou carrying Jian Ruonan on her back to the car. Usually, only the maids in the family would carry the young lady on their backs. When the trafficker asked, the driver nodded.
Jian Ruonan threw two silver coins to the driver and said, "Take the trafficker to the restaurant to see the person."
The driver only made 500 coins for a trip. He was overjoyed when he received the money.
It turned out to be a young lady, and she was generous.
The driver took the person to the restaurant in a hurry.
After the inspection, the broker came back and started to negotiate with Jian Ruonan. Jian Ruonan was too lazy to bargain and just sold Zhou for one or two taels of silver.
After signing the documents, the broker took people to the wine house and tied Zhou up.
Zhou was eating meat when she was suddenly tied up with ropes. She was confused. After learning the reason, Zhou started to curse before she even swallowed the meat, "You black-hearted rotten lung, I am your mother, you sold me and you will die!"
Jian Ruonan spitted at her, "You are a slave, when did you become my mother?"
The concubines in the family can only call the mistress mother as mother, and the concubine mother is half a slave. Zhou was relying on the fact that she was far away from the emperor and no one cared about her
