Chapter 51 Another one who sells himself out
Sister Mao, can you speak so plainly? How will she respond?
Su Ruojin couldn't laugh or cry, "Sister Mao, you are a free person. If you don't want to come to my house to be a guard, I respect your decision." She said generously, but in her heart she wanted to shout, "No, Sister Mao, just stay in my house." !
Sister Mao?
Growing up, Mao Ya only had a girl because of her parents' reasons. This was the first time that Mao Ya was called that. Her cold and hateful heart suddenly softened, her eyes became astringent, and she suddenly reached for a piece of chicken cake and stuffed it into her mouth. , "Since I was exchanged for it, it's my turn to eat."
After saying that, she took the three pieces on the plate with both hands and walked forward with her head held high while stuffing cakes into her mouth. Just as she was about to pass the door of her house, Su Ruojin woke up with a start. This is agreed!
Happily he shouted: "Sister Mao, stop...stop, the courtyard gate next to you is my home..."
Mao Ya stopped blankly, with a serious look on her face.
Su Ruojin hurriedly caught up with her and led her in. "Sister Mao, this will be your home from now on."
Mao Ya, who was about to take a step, paused quickly and looked up at the door. Even though the place where she was born and landed, her grandparents didn't recognize it as her home. She didn't expect that when she came to a strange place, someone would care about her. Said this was her home.
She raised her head slightly and forced back the tears that were about to overflow her eyes. She was illiterate, but that didn't prevent her from keeping the two symbols above firmly in her heart. Little lady, you'd better remember that you talked to them before. Otherwise, talk to them. Same, I want to collect debt from you.
Su Ruojin didn't know that her caring and considerate words had already made the little guard determined to call this place his home.
She ran up the corridor happily and shouted, "Mother... mother... I hired a guard to come back..."
Cheng Yingzhen came out with Xiao Silang in her arms and looked behind her daughter happily, "The one that Mrs. Yang helped you find?"
"Yes, mother!" Su Ruojin pulled Mao Ya to her mother, "She must be very energetic!"
She has an average appearance, a straight face, and is calm when she comes across. She looks like a qualified girl. Cheng Yingzhen nodded, "As long as Ah Jin likes her."
“Mom, she won’t sell…”
“No, I’ll sell it.”
Su Ruojin:…
Cheng Yingzhen:…
Why do all the girls and women who come to their house have to sell themselves?
Su Ruojin turned to look at Mao Ya in surprise, "I can hire you." That way you can still be a free man!
“No need!” Mao Yatou replied firmly.
Su Ruojin:…
She didn't expect that she would be brought back to Mrs. Yang's house as soon as she brought him home. Mao Ya insisted on selling herself. When asked why, she just didn't say anything. Anyway, she just let Mrs. Yang make the decision to sell her to the Su family. .
Mrs. Yang was so moved by her resolute attitude that she finally acted as a matchmaker and transferred her property to the Yamen, becoming Su Ruojin's maid and bodyguard.
Mao Ya is an independent girl. She told Su Ruojin that she would practice the postures every morning and evening, "But don't worry, when I'm not practicing the postures, I will do whatever you ask me to do. When I am free, I will do anything you ask me to do." Just clean the yard, do laundry and cook. Anyway, I won’t be idle and I won’t eat for free.”
Su Ruojin didn't know what to say, but Xianggui floated beside her and said, "You have done everything. What should I do? Do I want my master to sell me?"
Su Ruojin:…
Should she be happy about these two stubborn servants, or should she have some secret fun?
It makes people worry about cheating and cheating, and it makes people worry about being too diligent. For the sake of family harmony, Su Ruojin roughly divided the things that the two of them should do so that they would not fight for work.
Suddenly, the number of servants and workers in the Su family increased to four. If Su Ruojin had not planned for the long term when renting the house, this yard would really be unlivable.
Shu Tong came back after dark and shook his head, "I couldn't find anyone named Hua."
Su Ruojin pursed her lips and said, "Eat dinner first."
Shu Tong sighed: "The one with the surname Hua is unreliable. Second lady, let's look elsewhere tomorrow." Su Ruojin thought of Hua Ping, the monkey spirit, and then thought of the Taoist priest who left in a hurry, "Don't be in a hurry, wait and see. "
“Second Lady, I’m not familiar with him, don’t trust people casually!”
"What do I believe in him?" Su Ruojin said, "He didn't take a penny from us. He even paid for the tea himself in copper. What are you worried about?"
"That's right!" Shu Ting smiled and felt relieved. Just as he was about to enter the dining room, he stopped again, "What if he is a long-term fisherman?"
“Then do you think I look like a fool?” Will I hand out the money casually?
"Our second wife is the smartest." Shutong then sat down at the table to have dinner with peace of mind.
Although Su Yanli is only an eighth-grade Ph.D. in the Five Classics, students occasionally come to visit him. There are many servants, so some secular rules must be observed. Now the Su family has two tables for meals, one for the master and one for the servants.
Shu Tong has followed Su Yanli since he was a child. The Su family has long regarded him as a relative. They asked him to eat at the main table with Dong's mother, but Shu Tong refused, "I know in my heart that it's okay if you treat me well."
As for other things, follow the rules. Of course, Dong’s mother was the same as Shu Tong and refused to eat at the master’s table. Su Ruojin couldn’t persuade them, so she had to follow their wishes. Anyway, the master’s and servant’s tables in the house ate the same.
After dinner, everyone went about their own business.
Su Ruojin went to her father's study again to listen to Su Dalang's homework for the exam. Tonight, she didn't fall asleep on the table and listened to the end.
This is strange. Su Yanli asked his daughter with a smile, "Are you worried?"
Su Ruojin said with a loud mouth: "I haven't found a suitable breakfast shop yet."
“Would you like me to ask my colleagues about it?”
"Not urgent."
Su Yanli became even more interested: "Then what can keep you awake?"
“Let’s have fun!” Su Ruojin said with a smile, “I’ve already ordered a barbecue grill at the blacksmith shop. Dad, it’s time for you to make us a kite!”
"That's why." Su Yanli took out the painted kite picture from the bookshelf behind him, "I will go to the calligraphy and painting shop tomorrow to buy the skeleton, then paste it up and fly it."
Su Ruojin happily stood on the chair and looked through what kind of kites she had made. There were three in total, namely a butterfly, a chubby little goldfish, and a little frog with bulging eyes.
“Hey, Dad, why did you draw them just like me? You made them fat!”
“What do you think?”
This child deliberately drew fat little goldfish and little frogs on his desk. She couldn't hold the brush firmly and couldn't draw well. She still refused to ask him to help her and secretly tempted him to draw what she wanted. .
Seeing that his father saw through his little thoughts, Su Ruojin moved into his father's arms and acted coquettishly, "Thank you, dad, you are really the best dad in the world."
"Flattery!" Su Yanli picked up his daughter and sent her back to her room to sleep. He realized that this child had to be sent to her room every night before she would go back to her room to sleep. He was really spoiling her.
A few steps back to the bedroom, Su Ruojin said, "Dad, every afternoon before dinner, everyone is at home. Let my brother teach them calligraphy and arithmetic for half an hour."
“Okay, listen to our family, A Jin.”
"Thank you dad." Su Ruojin hugged her dad's neck and looked at the stars. In this life, she is a happy little lady!
