Entering the Red Chamber: Qingwen, rush forward!

Jia Yun's mother is busy every day, preparing meals for several people.

I have to get up before dawn in the morning to turn on the fire and boil water, and it will be nearly four watch days until I tidy up at night.

Everyone is willing to help, but they are too busy to do it every day, and they have no skills at all.

Siqi, Gao Ma and others saw it, and they were very upset.Knowing that Jia Yun and his wife are easy-going people, they are too embarrassed to speak for the old man.

Therefore, Siqi first proposed to buy a few little girls to play around.

Xiaohong knew that they had quite a bit of spare money now, even if they bought ten maids, it wouldn't be a big deal.

So she was the first to agree.

Jia Yun naturally felt sorry for her mother's hard work every day, so she naturally had no objection.

Siqi, Gao Ma and Song Ma were naturally extremely happy.

Only Jia Yun's mother heard that she was going to buy a little girl to play with her, so she called out first when she was busy: "It's not easy for you to get up early and go late every day to earn some money? What kind of girl should you buy to play around with? I'm still young, don't worry, I won't be tired if I'm tired." !"

Everyone couldn't stop laughing when they heard this, and the old man said again: "In the past, my life was difficult. Although I have the strength, I have nowhere to display it. Now my life is better. I have energy all over my body, and I don't feel tired. Everyone rest assured!"

Everyone wanted to persuade her, but they expected that she would not listen, so they put the conversation aside and secretly searched for the prostitute, so that the assistants should pay attention to see if there is any girl who can be used.

It's just that Siqi is busy in the clothing store every day.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the ladies and wives of the big families in Beijing are preparing new clothes.

Although there are many servants in their family who can do needlework, the clothes they make are not very satisfactory and the styles are outdated.Many young ladies search for lovely clothes in tailor shops.

The cheongsam designed by Mo Xiaomei is novel and beautiful, and the needlework is excellent.When those ladies and wives saw it, it was like seeing a treasure, and they insisted on ordering it in time for the New Year.

Therefore, the garment shop managed by Siqi is extremely hot every day.

Before Mo Xiaomei left, she asked Siqi to bring many tailors and embroiderers to the shop, provide them with food and lodging every day, and give them double salary.

As a result, the entire garment shop was brightly lit day and night, and these craftsmen rushed to work all night, and money was earned like flowing water.

Siqi was so busy that he almost flew up, but every night, Jia Yun drove the carriage to bring boxes of gold and silver home. Everyone looked at the glittering gold and silver ingots under the lamp, and they were naturally very happy. I don't feel tired after a day's work.

Coincidentally, when Siqi was very busy that day, the granny she entrusted came to the door with a smile on her face.

When she saw that Siqi was busy, she smiled and said, "Boss, you are a good business! You make a lot of money every day!"

As soon as Siqi saw the old woman, he hurriedly greeted with a smile, "Mom, why are you free to come over today? Sit down quickly, and I'll pour you tea."

Before she finished speaking, Cui'er hurriedly poured a cup of tea from the side and handed it over, smiling and inviting the old woman to drink.

When the old woman saw Cui'er, she took a closer look and said with a smile: "This girl looks really iconic! I've never seen her before in my life!"

Siqi hurriedly laughed and said, "Mom, this is my biological sister!"

After hearing this, the old lady praised her for a long time, and then said: "Didn't the boss of Siqi ask me to inquire about reliable maids a few days ago? Now I have a very good one in my hand, and I used to serve in the mansion."

Siqi hurriedly asked: "Really? How is the character of the talent? Is it reliable to live in?"

After hearing the question, the girl smiled and said: "Boss, don't worry! I got this maid with great difficulty. She was originally the eldest maid of the Shi family. She said that she was serving the young lady of the Shi family. The Shi family was convicted and confiscated. , the government sold them."

When Siqi heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "You old man, are you not lying to me? Are you really the maid of the Shi family?"

The old lady laughed and said, "Boss, how dare I lie to you? You can tell when you go there. That girl's whole body is unmatched even by ordinary ladies! She is very good at sewing! I am too. It cost hundreds of taels to buy it from officials."

Siqi couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly called to the old lady: "This is good, I'm going to open my eyes, let's go!"

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly turned back and asked Cui'er to take good care of these ladies and wives, and she dragged the old lady away like a gust of wind.

When Siqi came to the old lady's residence impatiently, the old woman hurriedly brewed good tea for Siqi, and then went out to fetch him.

Where is Siqi in the mood to drink tea at this moment?Just turn around in the house.

Unexpectedly, it would take a long time for the old woman to go, and when Siqi was waiting anxiously, someone outside reprimanded him: "Hurry up and go! I have found several families for you before, but you always resisted and refused to agree. If this happens again, I will sell you to a brothel!"

It was the old lady who was reprimanding her. As soon as she finished speaking, a girl cried, "Mom, I'd rather be someone's cow or horse than be someone's concubine. Mom, I beg you!"

The old woman scolded: "Now it's up to you? Didn't your young lady become an official prostitute? Even if you are a concubine, you are a hundred times better than her. What are you not satisfied with?"

Amidst the shouting and cursing, the granny led a shabby girl in.

After hearing the conversation between the two outside, Siqi was already in a state of panic, and when she met this girl, she couldn't help it.

It turns out that this girl is Cui Lu, the servant girl next to Shi Xiangyun.

I saw that although her hair was combed neatly, her face was yellow and thin, her face was full of sorrow, and her clothes were very old. One could tell that she had suffered a lot.

"Cui Ling? Are you Cui Ling?" Si Qi cried out.

"Sister, you are...you are Siqi sister?"

When Cui Hui saw Siqi's expensive clothes and smart and capable body, she insisted on admitting it for a long time before she dared to speak.

"Huh? Why does the boss of Siqi know her?" the old lady asked in surprise.

"She is the daughter of my distant relative. We have met several times. I have always heard that she works as a maid in the mansion. I never thought I would meet her here!"

Siqi hastily explained with a smile.Now that the Jia family is in danger, she doesn't want people to know what she has to do with the Jia family.

"Oh...so that's the case, that's really a romance!"

The old lady clapped her hands and laughed, all she wanted was money, but she didn't mind her own business.

"Mom, how much are you going to sell my girl? Let me tell you first, if your old man takes this opportunity to blackmail me, then I won't obey!"

Siqi said with a smile.

"Boss Siqi, I dare not lie to you. I bought it from the government for 200 taels of silver. You can just give it to me. Don't ask me to lose my money."

The old woman said with a hasty smile.

"Mom, smart people don't speak dark words. I also know about the official business people, and I know the market. Don't lie to me. I will find you to buy people in the future!"

Siqi smiled again.

"Hey... Boss, how dare I lie to you? How about this, I also pity that it is not easy for you cousins ​​to meet each other, 180 taels of silver, there is no less than a penny!"

The mother-in-law gritted her teeth.

"Okay, mother is happy, I'll give you money right away, and you bring my sister's multi-household registration contract."

While Siqi was talking, he took out the money from his pocket, and the girl was so happy that her whole body was trembling with fat, and she flew to get the paperwork.

For a while, the two negotiated clearly face to face, and Si Qi smiled and asked the old lady to see the girl.

The grandma patted her chest and promised for half a day, Siqi thanked the grandma, and hurriedly led Cui Ling into the carriage and drove away.
