Song Jinxiu didn't want to meddle in other people's business. Saving people is her instinct. Now that the person has been rescued, it has nothing for her to do.
But seeing that the woman named Xia He looked like the older sister next door, she couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper, "How much does this family want?"
Isn't it just a matter of money? Just buy it. If you really don't like it, letting Xia He be free will be a comfort to your lonely soul.
The shopkeeper said quickly, "This family has been sentenced by the government and cannot redeem themselves. Just give fifty taels."
"Fifty taels is not expensive, but what does it mean that you cannot redeem yourself?" Song Jinxiu did not understand the laws here, so she asked Yiming in a low voice.
Yiming said: "Miss, the length of time a person is sentenced to slavery is determined by the severity of the crime. Some are ten years, some are fifty years, and some are..."
"And you'll be a slave for life, and you can't redeem yourself even if you have money. Tsk! You country bumpkin, you're a good talker, aren't you? It turns out you know nothing."
At this moment, a warbler-like voice interrupted Yiming's explanation.
Song Jinxiu looked at the girl who came in, who was dressed in jewels. She thought she didn't know this person, so why did this girl look at her with such contempt?
Li Wan recognized Song Jinxiu at first sight. Wasn’t she the arrogant country girl at the gate of the academy? She had to wait in the carriage for a long time.
When the shopkeeper saw another customer coming, especially such a noble gold digger, he hurriedly put on a smiling face and greeted him.
"Girl, are you looking for a house or a man?"
Li Wan glanced at him and said nothing. She was Miss Jin. What could she have to say to such a gangster?
The maidservant beside her said, "Boss, our young lady wants to sell a few maids and laundry women. She wants the best ones."
"Hey, wait a minute, girl. I'll get them all standing."
Fortunately, the people who had been selected by Song Jinxiu had not left yet, so the owner of the pawnshop quickly asked the women to stay and stand in two rows for people to select.
Li Wan took a look and saw that this was what Song Jinxiu had left over. She fanned herself impatiently with her handkerchief and said arrogantly, "Change it for me. I don't want the leftovers from a country bumpkin."
Hey! Is this woman sick? You keep saying you are a country bumpkin?
Damn, are you looking for trouble? Do you think your aunt is afraid of you?
Song Jinxiu stood up straight, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you talking about, country bumpkin?"
"The country bumpkin said you... Hey, you little bitch, how dare you scold me?"
The elegantly dressed girl responded quickly, and immediately she looked at him coldly.
Song Jinxiu slumped her shoulders, rolled her eyes at her, and sneered, "Tsk! Who are you talking about, you little bitch?"
"You little bitch, I'm talking to you..." Li Wan was embarrassed again, and couldn't help but get angry and embarrassed.
"Ha, no wonder even the students of the academy are at a disadvantage. The academy's teachers all fled in panic. He is indeed a shameless and sharp-tongued person."
Li Wan felt that this remote little county town was full of bad luck.
On the first day she arrived, she was blocked at the entrance of the college. At that time, she happened to be holding a pee, so she hated Song Jinxiu very much for making trouble.
When they arrived at Li's Clinic, her cousin refused to take her to see Su Zi for various reasons. He said he had no friendship with that person and they had no relationship at all, so how could people meet him?
But she had clearly heard that Su Zi had met her cousin alone and even invited her cousin to have dinner with her.
snort! The cousin must be dissatisfied with their family, dissatisfied that they had overlooked their contribution to the development of Ma Fei San.
They don't even think about it, as a bastard, do they really want to climb to the top of their legitimate family? It’s good enough that you promised them that I would return to Beijing by the end of the year. What else do you want?
His grandfather was the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, so wouldn't his branch have to curry favor with him?
But this cousin is stubborn and refuses to buy it.
She had a quarrel with her cousin this morning. Her cousin actually asked her to return to Beijing, saying that it was not right for a girl to chase after a man and that her family was not up to the mark.
Why is it so out of reach? She didn't dream of becoming a wife, so could it be that she couldn't be a concubine?
Humph, in order to be able to enter the prince's house as a concubine, Zhang Jingyao went to Fuluo Temple a month ago to eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures and pray for her prince.
In order not to be outdone by Zhang Jingyao, she came to Lunshan County.
First, there is a private clinic here, second, my cousin knows Su Bozi, and third, this place is only a two-day drive from Su Bozi’s military camp.
Besides, she had made a bet with someone that she would not return to Beijing without seeing Su Zi.
But the eldest lady in the capital, who was respected and valued, had more than a dozen maids and servants to serve her. In order not to be outdone by Zhang Jingyao, she imitated her and only brought one maid with her when she traveled.
But when I got here, I saw that there were only two cooks, three coachmen and an old man who was a gatekeeper in the house.
How could she bear such treatment? Haven’t you seen that the personal maids have been so tired that they can fall asleep while standing these days? Sometimes I can’t even wake myself up by drinking water.
So, Miss Li decided to go out and buy someone.
She didn't expect that when she arrived at the dental clinic, she would see the girl who almost made her wet her pants also here. If she didn't make some sarcastic remarks, she wouldn't be Li Wan.
When Song Jinxiu heard this, she said: Oh, so he was the one who watched the fun that day, no wonder he said that I was sharp-tongued.
It's okay to say that she is sharp-tongued, she takes it as a compliment, but what does it mean to be shameless? Could it be that after she left, Song Erlang spread bad things about her?
Otherwise, how could a stranger like Jin be so outspoken?
In fact, Song Jinxiu wronged Song Erlang. Not long after Song Jinxiu left, Song Erlang was punished by the academy to face the wall and copy the academy's etiquette regulations.
What Li Wan said was purely malicious slander against Song Jinxiu.
But Song Jinxiu didn't know. She thought the woman just misunderstood her.
Forget it. She was too lazy to explain. Why bother with a girl who believed everything she heard?
So Song Jinxiu began to wonder whether she should buy the whole family or just Xia He?
At this moment, the arrogant little girl from the fat man's family suddenly knelt down to Li Wan.
"Miss, I am willing to serve you. Please buy me. My father is a chef and my grandmother can make pea cakes. My brother can feed your horses."
The old woman also quickly put on a smiling face and said flatteringly: "Yes, Miss, my granddaughter is right. Our family used to run a restaurant. I can make several dishes."
Li Wan took a step back with a look of disgust. He glanced at the pawnshop owner with disdain again.
A small county is just a small county. Don’t these dentists know how to train people?
Humph, if this happened in the capital, which servant would dare to kneel down and beg? They all have to stand there and wait for the owner to come and choose.
It is your blessing to choose it, and it is your bad luck if you don't choose it.
As soon as the pawnbroker's shop owner saw the noble lady's expression, he knew what she meant. He quickly scolded:
"You are new here and have no rules. Why don't you stand aside? This girl has just asked you about your price. Why don't you wait for a while? Maybe you will find a master."
"I don't want to follow her. I want to serve this young lady." The arrogant girl pointed at Song Jinxiu with disdain and ran to Li Wan, her attitude very obvious.
Song Jinxiu raised her eyebrows: You still don't want to, do you think I'm stupid and can see you?
