Girls like them who were sent to the pawnbroker were either picked up by some wealthy families to be servants, or bought as child brides, or bought by some messy places.
When Song Yuehua came over, the short girl secretly saw her through the crack in the door.
They don't look like a wealthy family. According to the broker, they bought her as a maid. They are from a farming family, and the girl is about fourteen or fifteen years old. At least it shouldn't be from a messy place, so she recommended herself just now.
The two girls had a total of 16 taels of silver. Song Yuehua handed the money to Hou Wu and asked the two girls' names. The tall girl replied, "My name is Qi Yao."
"Is it the waist-length hair?" Song Yuehua asked.
Miss Gao raised her head and said, "Grandma hoped that I would die sooner rather than later. This should be the time."
Next, the short girl replied, "My name is Jiang Jiannu."
Song Yuehua, "..."
Xiaoyu asked, "Do you want to change your name?"
"Please give me a name, young lady."
The two were about to kneel down, but Xiaoyu helped them up and said, "I won't give you a name. Just give yourselves a name you like."
Hou Wu came over and asked, "How about we get this indenture done first, and then think about the name later."
When Song Yuehua was about to nod, the short girl hurriedly said, "I like rain, can you call me Jiang Yu?"
"Can."
Miss Gao also said, "I've seen a kind of flower in the mountains before, I don't know what it is called, it's a small flower, hidden in the grass, when I parted the grass I saw purple dots, it was very beautiful, I want to change it to pure purple, is that okay?"
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Of course."
While processing the indentures, Hou Wu also changed the names of both of them.
After getting the indenture, Song Yuehua asked Hou Wu to keep an eye on it for her, as she also wanted to buy a few skilled bodyguards later.
Hou Wu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Miss Song. I will notify you as soon as someone comes."
As for the security guards, Song Yuehua was not unhurried, but even if she bought such people, she could not send them to Qingzhou immediately. Although there were two maids, they were only young girls after all.
It's not safe to send a man with some skills like that to Xiaoyu before confirming his character.
After returning home, Qi Zi and Jiang Yu took a bath. Song Yuehua found some old clothes for them to wear. After changing clothes, the two girls looked, one steady and the other smart.
They are complementary.
Song Yuehua asked Master Duan to teach Qi Zi some basic moves, and Song Yuehua taught Jiang Yu to cook a few dishes that Xiaoyu liked.
One day, Xiaoyu was embroidering a pattern at Madam Nie's place when someone knocked on the door.
When they went out, they saw that it was Yao Er.
Yao Er knelt down in front of the two and said, "Song Yuxuan, I beg you not to leave me here. They ask me to sweep pig manure and wash clothes all day long. My hands are the hands of an embroiderer. If I continue to do this, they will be ruined!"
Madam Nie glanced at her and said to Xiaoyu, "You handle it."
After saying that, he turned and went into the house.
Xiaoyu said calmly, "Yao Er, you have brought this upon yourself. Whether you are destroyed or not has nothing to do with me."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to you," Yao Er kowtowed desperately, "I kowtow to you and admit my fault. Please let me go. Please give me a way to live..."
"When you stuffed a mouse into my quilt, did you ever think that this year would come? When you poured water on my face in the middle of the night and gave me a fever, I remember you were laughing happily. When you slandered me, where did your face go?"
Xiaoyu said, "Don't worry, I won't take your life. After all, your life is worth 80 taels of silver."
Yao Er lay on the ground crying heartbrokenly. Xiaoyu called a farmhand who was passing by and asked him to take Yao Er back.
After returning to the compound, Yao Er was passive and lazy. Liu Xue did not force him to do anything. She just said, "If you can't continue working here, I will find you another place to work."
Liu Xue asked Ding Cui Gu to send Yao Er to Zong Yi.
But within two days, Yao Er came back. There was only one woman, He, at Zong Yi's place. She had to do all the heavy and tiring work. If she didn't do her job well, Zong Yi wouldn't give her any food and would ask someone to watch over her until she finished the work.
Yao Er knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Manager Liu, I beg you, please let me come back."
"Yao Er, has anyone made things difficult for you during your time in the compound? The tasks you were asked to do were the same tasks that everyone else would do on a daily basis. No one blamed you or punished you. You should be content."
Liu Xue said, "I am willing to give you another chance. You can come back tomorrow. If you continue to behave like this, you should go back to the sect manager."
In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the first lunar month. Xiaoqing from the county sent a letter through someone else, asking Xiaoyu if she wanted to go to Qingzhou together the next day.
"Didn't we say it's after the fifteenth?" Song Yuehua said with a frown.
Xiaoqing had said before that they would set off around the 15th and Xiaoyu could go with them, but we didn't expect that they would suddenly leave early.
"Maybe there is something urgent. How about I find a caravan to go with him later?" Xiaoyu said.
"No, no," Song Yuehua waved her hand and said, "The caravan is not as safe as the county magistrate's son's guards. I'll prepare something for you, and you go tell Qi Zijiangyu."
After Song Yuehua finished speaking, she stuffed a 20-liang silver note into Xiaoyu's pocket and said, "Put this away for now and sew it into your sleeve tonight."
"Oh, sister, I still have 25 taels of silver you gave me last year. Why are you giving me so much? I don't want it." Xiaoyu hurriedly ran down the kang and said.
Song Yuehua, "..."
