Rebirth of the Beautiful Repaying Gratitude: Quick Transmigration and Childbirth System
Chapter 120: The Prime Minister vs. the Qinhuai Singer (4)
Liu Qianyu put on a veil and went out again to the dental shop on the Qinhuai River.
In this era, as long as you have money you can buy a maid. I have more important things to do and I can't spend my time on washing clothes and cooking.
In order to free my hands, I have to find help.
Stepping into the brokerage shop, she looked around, looking for the matchmaker or broker who was engaged in the servant trading here.
"My lady, are you here to buy a servant? I am the most famous matchmaker in this business. You can just call me Aunt Zhang."
An old woman in bright clothes and with a shrewd smile came forward and introduced herself enthusiastically.
Liu Qianyu looked at Mrs. Zhang and nodded slightly.
"Mrs. Zhang, I want to find two skilled maids and a cook. Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her eyes immediately lit up and she quickly patted her chest to make a promise.
"Don't worry, young lady. I have a new group of people, all of whom have been carefully selected by me. Don't worry, I will pick the best for you right away. Follow me."
Mrs. Zhang led Liu Qianyu through the bustling crowd and came to a relatively quiet courtyard.
There were quite a few young girls and several women here, all with their heads down, looking extremely reserved.
"Miss, what do you think of these maids? They were sold out after their families fell into poverty. They are smart and their needlework is top-notch."
Mrs. Zhang pointed at a few maids and said.
Liu Qianyu looked over and asked.
"If you are interested, can you tell me what you are good at?"
One of the skinny girls immediately replied, "I am good at washing clothes. I guarantee that they will be clean."
Another round-faced girl, about thirteen, said, "I'm good at sweeping."
Another strong girl said, "I can also give massages and make tea."
At this time, a girl about fifteen years old came with a sweet smile and a sense of cleverness.
"I am good at makeup and embroidery, and can make you more beautiful and charming."
Another girl, about eighteen years old, with a quiet appearance, looked at Liu Qianyu and answered softly.
"I know some simple medical skills and can handle some daily minor illnesses."
A woman about 40 years old, with ordinary looks and a slightly plump figure, has been looking at the veiled girl in front of her. Although she is not very old, she must be no ordinary person.
So the woman stepped forward and said, "My lady, I am one of the chefs in the official household. Because the master of the household committed a crime, the whole family was exiled three thousand miles away, and the servants were sold. I am proficient in making Jiangnan dishes."
Liu Qianyu nodded and followed Mrs. Zhang out of the yard.
"Mrs. Zhang, let's take the three of them, the one who is good at dressing and embroidery, the one who knows some medical skills, and the one who is proficient in making Jiangnan dishes. Tell me the price."
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she immediately smiled.
"Miss, you are really straightforward. These two maids are more than 8 taels of silver each, and the cook, who has good cooking skills, will get 60 taels of silver. The total is more than 76 taels of silver. What do you think?"
After all, she is a human being, and Liu Qianyu cannot do anything to lower the price.
"Okay, that's the three of them. Here are 76 taels, keep it."
As Liu Qianyu spoke, she counted out the silver from her purse and handed it to Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang took the silver and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
"Miss, you are such a straightforward person. I will bring the three of them here right now and complete the indenture procedures for you. If you need anything in the future, just come to me, Mrs. Zhang."
After the formalities were completed, Mrs. Zhang brought the person over and handed the indenture contract to Liu Qianyu.
Liu Qianyu looked at them and asked gently.
"Do you want to keep your names, or would you like me to give you new names?"
The two maids smiled at each other, thinking that the young lady in front of them must be from a good family, and they answered in unison.
"We are willing to let Miss name it. Everything is up to Miss."
The cook said respectfully, "My name is Wang Xianglan. If you don't mind, I would like to continue using this name."
Liu Qianyu agreed with a smile, then thought for a moment.
The maid who was good at dressing up and embroidery was named Liu Chan, implying that she hoped to be as beautiful and dexterous as Chanjuan.
The maid who knew some simple medical skills was named Liu Yin, hoping that she could bring comfort and peace to people like the grass.
"Liu Chan, Liu Yin, Aunt Xianglan," Liu Qianyu called the three of them softly, with a sincere look on her face.
"You don't need to be formal. I don't have any red tape. I just hope you can be loyal, and we can get along well. Now, let's go home."
The three of them looked at each other, and a warm feeling surged in their hearts.
"Thank you, Miss!" Liu Chan and Liu Yin answered in unison.
Their hearts were filled with gratitude and expectation, and they felt like they were part of a kind-hearted family.
"Yes, miss. I will do my best to prepare a meal that satisfies you."
Wang Xianglan secretly felt lucky that she had met such a gentle and kind lady, and that she no longer had to be sold several times.
So, the four of them set out together, heading back to No. 6 Qingquan Lane, Bishui Street.
* * *
As night fell, the moonlight was like water, gently sprinkling on the slightly old house at No. 5 Qingquan Lane, Bishui Street.
In Yun Zimo's study, a dim oil lamp flickered, illuminating his focused and thin figure.
He was dressed in a blue Confucian robe, revealing a scholarly air.
Yun Zimo's facial features are delicate and handsome, his eyes are cold and sharp, his thin lips are tightly pursed, and his temperament is like a lonely moon and frost, and he still has a lonely and thin appearance like snow and frost.
He was sitting by the window, buried in a pile of books in the dim light.
The occasional chirping of night birds outside the window adds to the tranquility of the night.
Yun Zimo raised his hand and rubbed his temples from time to time, and deep fatigue inadvertently revealed between his brows.
Liu Hetai, who was standing beside him, had a look full of love and worry for his own son.
Liu Hetai cursed the Fifth Prince thousands of times in his heart.
Young Master, everything you are going through now is caused by the cruel and merciless Fifth Prince.
The tragedy of their broken families hung over them like a dark cloud.
Thinking back to our Yun Mansion, we realize how glorious it once was.
As part of the Yun family, a merchant family on the Qinhuai River, the young master has lived a life of luxury since childhood. He is smart and has a promising future.
That day, I followed the young master's order and went out to find the birthday gift that my wife liked. When I returned, I saw a glaring blood-red color.
He searched frantically in the mass grave, but out of the 32 members of the Yun family, he only brought back the dying young master.
My heart is broken, but no matter how difficult the road to revenge is, I will accompany the young master.
We must demand revenge on that damn Fifth Prince and avenge our family!
Listening to the young master's intermittent coughing.
Liu Hetai, suppressing his grief, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, walked quickly to the stove, and picked up the hot water that had been warming nearby.
He tiptoed to Yun Zimo's side.
"Sir, it's late, take a rest. Have a cup of hot water to warm yourself up."
Yun Zimo looked up, forced a smile, took the teacup and took a sip, warmth instantly flowed through his body.
"Hetai, thank you."
His voice was weak, but full of gratitude.
"Sir, I heard from the neighbors that the yard next door has been sold and was under renovation a while ago. I heard that someone moved in today. I wonder what kind of people will move in."
Liu Hetai found a topic, hoping to help the young master temporarily relax his tense nerves.
"Who moves in has nothing to do with us."
Yun Zimo was not at all moved, he responded calmly.
Then he thought of Sister Yu again and wondered where she had gone.
When he opened his eyes in the Xinglin Chunnuan Pharmacy, he saw a fairy-like young lady applying medicine for him.
At that time, I didn't want to speak anymore.
It was the young lady, singing a ballad to herself with her clear eyes and warm smile.
Comfort yourself softly, everything will be fine, and when it is fine, it won’t hurt anymore.
"Hotae, any news?"
"Master, there is still no answer. Those who know the situation all say that the last time Divine Doctor Liu went out to see a patient was at the invitation of the Huainan Marquis Mansion, the fifth prince's maternal grandfather's family. As for Divine Doctor Liu's death, the reason is unknown."
Liu Hetai sighed softly.
"As for Miss Liu, after taking care of Divine Doctor Liu's funeral, the 'Xinglin Chunnuan' pharmacy closed down, and Miss Liu's whereabouts were unknown. There has been no news of her since."
Yun Zimo's eyes instantly became gloomy and deep.
The fifth prince!
This name once again aroused tremendous hatred in his heart.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil.
"Sister Yu, where are you now? Are you doing well?"
Yun Zimo asked silently in his heart.
