The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Cheng Youning said, "As the young master of the Wan family, I have the right to choose my servants. This is not a reason for you to use the family rules. There is no such rule in the family rules."

Shang Xi's eyes bulged with anger, and Cheng Feng immediately whispered, "Don't hit children casually."

Bajiao said quickly, "I will work like a slave for the young master. As long as he doesn't ask me to pay for the pearl, I will do anything for him."

Cheng Youning said, "Then come back with me today. If you can't keep the pearl, I will ask you for a lesson."

Before Shang Xi could say anything to stop him, Bajiao's mother came forward and said, "My Bajiao has gone to the Marquis' Mansion. Will he also receive twenty cents of monthly salary in the future?"

The people from Wan Lianxing were speechless for a moment.

"Mom? Stop talking. Why do I need money when I'm in trouble?"

Wan Lianxing said to Huang Chenming, "See if this man can be used."

Huang Chenming looked at Bajiao carefully and said, "Stand up straight."

Basho stood up straight and proper.

"sideways."

"To the left? To the right?"

"All are fine."

"Show your ears."

Basho tucked her hair behind her ears.

"How old is the girl?"

"eighteen."

"Open your mouth and show your teeth."

Basho did as he was told.

The people in the village whispered, "Is this the selection of a maid or a princess? This is too detailed."

Huang Chenming turned his head to Wan Lianxing and said, "My Lord, this Miss Bajiao has strong and sharp teeth, a slow voice, a shiny forehead, cheekbones that go through the ears, and a full head. She is a person with a long life and a broad mind. Why can't such a person serve the young master?

Wan Lianxing nodded, and took out some silver and handed it to Bajiao's mother, "This is the money to buy your daughter Bajiao. From now on, Bajiao will be the servant of the young master of the Wan family."

Seeing the silver, Bajiao's mother's eyes lit up and she quickly stuffed it into her waist bag: "Okay, okay, she is yours now, take her away."

Bajiao was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes, "Mom, you are selling your daughter."

Bajiao's mother said, "This is for your own good. It's much better for you to work for the young master than to marry someone randomly. Look at how successful Qiao Rong is."

Bajiao said, "Qiao Rong went to be a book boy for the young master, and his parents didn't ask for money. You are making me feel uneasy in the future."

Bajiao's mother said, "You are a girl, and you are working as a maid. Why are you so stubborn? I will go home and pack up your things for you."

"mother?"

The attendant said, "Don't shout. There are many rules in the mansion. You are not allowed to shout. Go home with your mother and pack together. When you are done, come here and wait."

Bajiao had no choice but to follow her mother.

The attendant said to the villagers crowded in the yard: "Everyone go back and rest, the Marquis is tired."

A villager said, "My Lord, do you need anyone else? I have children of all ages at home."

Wan Lianxing burst out laughing, "I like quietness, and the mansion has never needed too many servants. Now that your life is better, you should let the child stay with you to fulfill your filial duty."

Another villager said, "My Lord, those pearls are treasures, right? They are very valuable, right? Can we keep them?"

When Wan Lianxing heard that these people didn't leave because of Zhenzhu, he thought about what Huang Chenming had just said. Could this be what Huang Chenming was referring to?

Wan Lianxing was looking forward to these people getting rich. If the people in Fengying were doing well, he would definitely live a more comfortable life than now. Thinking of the white pearls, Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "Let my nephew's wife teach you. She is the young lady of our Wan family. If you want to learn something, go find her."

Shang Xi was still eating melon, "Uncle, there's no need to rush."

Wan Lianxing said: "I am not in a hurry, but I see that the villagers seem to be very anxious. We should put our own affairs aside and put the people's affairs first."

Wan Lianxing's words sounded high-sounding, but what could Shang Xi let go of? It was just the melon in his hand.

Looking at those pairs of eyes, Shang Xi had the illusion that she was being besieged. She had no choice but to put down the melon in her hand, picked up a river clam, and started talking to everyone.

A villager said, "Is it that simple?"

Shang Xi said: "It's not difficult at all. The main thing is our human intervention. If we learn how to artificially cultivate river clams, we will be able to see pearls within half a year."

The villagers looked at Wan Lianxing again, "My Lord, is what your young mistress said right? She didn't lie to us, did she?"

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "You can't trust her, can't you trust me?"

"Of course I trust you, Lord."

Wan Lianxing said, "Then you should follow my nephew's wife's instructions. The first one to produce pearls will be rewarded by me."

When everyone heard Wan Lianxing say this, "My Lord, should we look for river clams first or go home to dig a pond? These two things seem very urgent."

Wan Lianxing said, "Dear pond owners, I think it would be better for you to go home and dig ponds first."

"Listen to the Marquis, let's go back and dig a pond."

"Remember what I said, there is strength in numbers, so concentrate your efforts to dig the pond."

"Well, what does the Marquis mean?"

"Just let us dig together, instead of digging our own."

"My Lord is wise."

Finally, everyone was sent away and the whole yard became quiet.

At this time, two pots of steaming sweet potatoes were served. Hu Er and his wife warmly entertained everyone, "Eat it while it's hot, it's very sweet."

Everyone started eating, except Cheng Youning.

"Cheng Youning, are you eating?"

Cheng Youning shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry."

"How can I not be hungry? It's so sweet and sticky. Try it." Shang Xi scooped up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it to Cheng Youning's mouth.

Cheng Youning covered his mouth and said, "I don't want to eat."

Shang Xi whispered, "Don't you like sweet potatoes? Why don't you eat them?"

At this time, Qiao Rong dug out a sweet potato from the earthen stove and brought it to Cheng Youning, "Madam, give the young master some roasted sweet potato."

Shang Xi asked: "Why is there still grilled food?"

Qiao Rong said shyly: "The young master hates that my house is dirty. He won't drink a sip of my water."

Cheng Youning glared at Qiao Rong, "Are you complaining?"

Qiao Rong explained in a low voice: "I didn't complain, I just told the truth."

Cheng Youning said: "Why don't you talk about your brother Huo Huoshui..."

The incident was not a big deal, but after Cheng Youning's description, it was quite disgusting. The disgusting thing was that Cheng Youning said disgusting. Shang Xi immediately felt nauseous. Despite this, she still couldn't show it. She criticized Cheng Youning, "You are making a fuss. Don't make so many fuss when you are out. You didn't accomplish anything all day, and everyone was just revolving around you. What's wrong with eating sweet potatoes? You have never been hungry. You are so hungry that you drink water from the stinky ditch."

Cheng Youning said, "Then eat a few more boiled sweet potatoes."

Shang Xi picked up a piece of sweet potato and put it in her mouth, "I'm just starting now, I have to eat a few seriously."
