Chapter 102: Not for Charity
In the room where the women were locked up, there was someone who turned out to be Xia Xintong's personal maid.
Although his clothes were tattered and his hair was messy.
It was completely different from what I had encountered before at Lai Fu Inn.
Su Jiuyue recognized her at the first sight.
Su Jiuyue just looked at her steadily without saying a word.
I thought, could it be that Xia Xintong, that stupid girl, discovered that this maid stole the hairpin?
Selling this maid in a rage?
That day at Lai Fu Inn, Xia Xintong beat and scolded the maid, so it is possible.
Wang Mazi followed Su Jiuyue's gaze and saw her staring at the silly girl he bought at a low price.
I couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey... little boss, you don't need to look at this person. Although she looks neat, she is actually stupid."
Su Jiuyue raised her eyebrows.
"Oh? Stupid?"
Looking at this maid carefully again, isn't she just stupid?
His eyes were staring blankly, and I didn't know what he was looking at, and his expression was dull.
It looks like he has a mental disorder.
Wang Mazi spread his hands.
"Yes, a group of men bought her here and asked me for two hundred coppers. She looked so stupid when she was brought here, and I couldn't sell her for a good price."
Then he joked again.
"She looks pretty cute, so it's no problem to sell her to a widower in the countryside to have her give birth to a baby, haha."
This is what he himself planned.
If you sell her to those widowers as a bed warmer, you can get at least two taels of silver!
She is not ugly, she is a little stupid, but it’s no big deal!
Su Jiuyue frowned.
"You said that a group of men sold her here?"
Wang Mazi recalled and made sure he remembered it correctly before speaking.
"Yes, there were more than ten of them, big and strong. I would have thought they were bandits. They came to my shop and scared me. I thought someone was looking for trouble."
Su Jiuyue nodded thoughtfully and stopped looking at her.
To put it bluntly, they are just strangers who have met once.
Although I felt that this matter was a little unusual, I didn't have the time to meddle in it.
Just about to start choosing someone.
Unexpectedly, the maid looked away when she saw Su Jiuyue.
He actually laughed foolishly and pointed at Su Jiuyue.
"Hehe...hehe..."
He kept laughing, which was a bit creepy.
Seeing this, Wang Mazi quickly winked at his men next to him.
His men hurriedly dragged the man out.
The maid struggled in the man's hands.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Each scream was sharper than the last.
Su Jiuyue watched coldly without saying much.
Whether this man is pitiable or not is still unknown.
Besides, I'm here to buy someone, not to do charity.
Don't say she is a fool now! Even if she is not a fool, she is still a person with evil intentions.
I don’t dare to ask for it.
Wang Mazi laughed awkwardly.
"Haha! This idiot was silent for the past few days. I don't know what provoked him today. He disturbed the young boss. It's really a sin."
Su Jiuyue waved her hand.
"It doesn't matter."
Wang Mazi rubbed his hands and forced an official smile.
"Then the boss will choose. If you have any requirements, just let me know. I'll pick the one that suits you best."
Su Jiuyue nodded and took a step forward.
All the women in the room huddled together.
The oldest of them was in her forties, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old.
The only thing in common.
Maybe it's because there is no light in the eyes.
It is an expression of having no expectations for the future.
It is the despair of not knowing one's own destiny.
Just like a commodity, there is no sovereignty, you can choose whatever you want...
Su Jiuyue looked at it and felt a little touched.
The era I came from is different from this one after all.
Of course, she cannot change the times and can only choose to assimilate with them.
A group of people looked at her eagerly.
Some are looking forward to it, some are timid, and some are avoiding the gaze...
Su Jiuyue cleared her throat.
"Has anyone ever worked in the kitchen or been a cook? Or is there anyone who can cook delicious dishes? If there is anyone, please step forward."
Everyone looked at each other and hesitated for a while.
A girl of about seventeen or eighteen took the lead and stepped forward.
"Miss, I have never worked in the kitchen, nor have I been a cook, but my family members all say that my cooking is delicious..."
"I used to be responsible for cooking at home, and I can endure hardships, so I can do any work! Miss, please consider buying me..."
Su Jiuyue looked at the woman crawling in front of her.
She is in the prime of her youth. Her appearance is not particularly beautiful, but she is pretty.
The skin is somewhat shiny and the hands are quite rough.
You can tell at first glance that he's used to living a hard life.
Looking at myself, his words were sincere, his eyes were genuine, there was only respect, no fear.
Su Jiuyue nodded and said, this is a good idea and can be used.
At this time, another person came forward and bowed to Su Jiuyue.
Willow-shaped eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and cherry lips, much prettier than the previous one.
The man glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground calmly.
He spoke with some confidence.
"Miss, I used to be a personal maid of a young lady from a wealthy family. I will take care of your daily life in every possible way. I am better than a lowly cook."
"Miss, you won't lose out if you buy me back. I can do a lot..."
Su Jiuyue nodded but didn't say anything.
This woman is indeed very well-mannered.
It’s just that he has too many thoughts and too many things in his eyes, so he is not a person who can live a peaceful life.
My main purpose is to buy some things that can be used in my own food store.
This kind of personal maid who is only for show is not needed for the time being.
That person didn't know that Su Jiuyue had already given her a cross in her heart.
She bowed again in a pretentious manner and retreated.
If you don’t know, you might think she is a lady from some wealthy family.
The woman was pleased.
The little girl's clothes were not very nice either. I guess she was here to help her family pick out servants.
Judging from the looks of it, she must be an unfavored concubine who is ordered around to do this and that.
Just behave yourself better, I don't believe you can't scare a little girl like her!
Once I enter their house, I will rely on my looks and means.
Maybe she will fly onto the tree branch and turn into a phoenix!
Several more people came forward one after another.
There were two aunts in their thirties who had worked as cooks when they were young, and one of them had worked in the kitchen of a wealthy family.
Su Jiuyue noticed that there was a young woman and an auntie who looked somewhat similar to her in the crowd.
The two of them exchanged glances and pushed and shoved each other.
The young woman gritted her teeth and stepped forward.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Miss, I wonder if Miss is only picking the cook or?"
Su Jiuyue glanced at her indifferently and asked in a flat tone.
"how?"
The slightly older woman also stepped forward and kowtowed as well.
"Miss, this girl used to be the head cook in the Du Mansion. She is very good at cooking. Miss, you can buy her. She is very obedient and works very hard."
The girl froze and glared at the woman.
"mother!"
He hurriedly kowtowed to Su Jiuyue again.
"Please don't blame me, young lady. I just want to ask if you want other servants. If you only want a cook, I really don't want to be separated from my parents. I hope you can help me..."
She was afraid that after what her mother had just said, the young lady would pick her away.
With their status, they have no choice...
Su Jiuyue raised her eyebrows.
"Oh? You mean if I want to buy you, I have to buy your family too?"
