Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 11
As I live older, I really encounter everything.

Mother Li felt that she was really surprised to see her today, a little beggar was actually literate.

Looking up at the little girl who was holding a pen to help keep the accounts, Mama Li shook her head, and then read the next name: "Zhang Tiedan, sold to the Wang family, the cashier is ten taels or three..."

After finishing reading, she couldn't help looking over her head, and saw that Gu Sixiao wrote without hesitation, even if she couldn't recognize whether the word was written well or not, it seemed that the writing was so smooth, unlike her own writing two words. For a long time, it may be necessary to use a circle instead.

After squeezing her hands, she thought for a while and asked, "You just said that you were separated from your biological parents? Are you going to look for them in the future?"

"Well," Gu Sixiao responded, but she didn't stop writing. She finished writing neatly, and then looked up at Li's mother.

Blinking her eyes, there was a layer of mist in her eyes, the little girl looked pitiful, "Mom, I am also the daughter of a good family, I remember when I was young, I also lived in a big house, and my parents cared for me , if it weren't for the fact that now..."

Wiping the corners of her eyes, she said shyly, "I don't want to sell myself into slavery, even if it's a last resort, I can't sell it into a death contract—Mom, please help me!"

Pretend to be pitiful, cute, and ask for sympathy. According to Gu Sixiao, she has never done such a thing before. Although she practiced in advance when she was begging on the street just now, it is still jerky to do it. If it is not in my heart Treating Mama Li as her dead father, she could hardly make that expression.

Mother Li watched a lot of people, so she could see that Gu Sixiao's expression was not very natural, but she didn't think much about it.

Able to write and count, elegant in conversation, clear in order, such a girl is at least the daughter of a scholar.

Not to mention that this is a little beggar in front of her, none of the little dolls she has handled before has attracted her attention like this.

But, this is not a death contract...

While meditating, someone stepped in and called out before standing still, "Mother, are you back from Gu's house?"

Gu Sixiao raised his head, Dingqing looked, but he was a young man in his 20s.

Although he looks ordinary, but his eyes are clear, which makes people know that he is a shrewd person.

When she looked at the man, the man also saw her.

"Huh? Where did the girl come from? You haven't been to the countryside these days!"

Mother Li responded vaguely, and only asked: "Just came back from the Yali? Have you changed the red deed?"

"Okay, I'll send it to the Gu family." The young man responded, walked over and looked down, and couldn't help laughing: "Wow, mother, have you found a treasure? You can also write! This girl, you can write very well." Looks good—well, this small script is well written..."

Gu Sixiao raised her head, met the young man's eyes, and showed a big smile.

Is this Mama Li's son?No wonder Li's mother, a toothmaid, can open her teeth.It turned out that her son was also a dentist.

According to what the two of them said, it was this man who bought and sold the Gu family's old house...

Lowering her head, she bit her lip, carefully hiding the resentment in her heart.

The young man didn't pay attention, turned his head back, and only called, "Mother, come and help me—well, help me weigh five taels of silver, and when I go back to Gu's house, I will bring it to Gu Fu..."

After turning into the back shop, Li's mother couldn't help complaining: "How much did you earn from this business? Just give him that much money? After careful calculation, the rest is just errand money..."

"Mom, you're here again. There's some money that can't be saved. It's not like you don't know Gu Fu's temperament. If I don't answer him correctly, can he find me as a middleman again in the future?"

The words were open-minded, but the young man sighed, and the young man was also emotional, "Speaking of which, Gu Fu is also capable. Look at what Xi Gu is like now? But he is such a manager, he was not affected by the trouble, but got involved in the east. Gu has become a housekeeper again, and he is still so valued..."

"Cut, it's not a black-hearted wicked ghost! It's because the Gu family is down and out, and they are in a hurry to leave. They don't have the time to deal with him, a traitorous idiot. If it weren't for him, Dong Gu could have bought it for 100 taels of silver." A big house?! Hmph, it's because of his bad intentions that he actually thought of asking Dong Gu to use Mr. Gu to bury his ancestral grave, so as to embarrass Mrs. Gu..."

"Hush... Mom, let's forget about these things, but don't tell them outside. If others know about it, it's not good to pass it on..."

"Okay, are you stupid to think of your mother? I also know that I have to rely on those people to eat this food! Didn't it mean that the King of Hades is easy to see, and the little ghosts are hard to deal with! Your mother and I are also afraid of those little ghosts!"

Hearing the young man inside laughing and complimenting Mama Li, he changed the subject and stopped talking about Gu Fu.

Gu Sixiao gritted her teeth and wiped the wetness from the corners of her eyes.

Can't cry, now is not the time to cry.

She was just caring about her uncle Gu's cruelty before, but at this time she actually blackmailed her Gu family's house, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be the evil servants.

No wonder my sister-in-law left Songjiang mansion, but Gu Fu and that Chunhua stayed in the old house. It turned out that they had betrayed the master's house early in the morning.

Taking a breath, she gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that if she really couldn't do it, even if she signed a death contract, she would have to enter the Gu family as a servant.Regardless of whether evidence can be found, those two bastards who betrayed the master must be cleaned up.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Li's mother lower her voice and ask in a low voice: "Erlang, what do you think of that girl just now? Isn't it too bad to only sign a contract of living?"

As soon as he heard that he was mentioned, Gu Sixiao immediately cheered up and listened attentively.

I only heard Na Erlang laughing in a low voice: "Mother, you think too much. It's not up to you to sign the contract of living and the contract of death. If the Gu family doesn't want it, what does the contract of life and death matter?" But, according to me, mother, think about it, you usually have a lot of girls and servants in your hands, but which one can write and count? Let me tell you, it’s a good thing to have such a girl, even if the Gu family doesn’t want it , and there are others who are willing to ask for it, doesn't it mean that our Xuji dental firm is more capable than other dental firms?"

"You're right..."

Being moved by her son, when Mother Li came out, she felt even more pleasing to the eye when she looked at Gu Sixiao again.

Seeing Gu Sixiao being sized up and down, he just laughed, so Xu Erlang laughed, "Little girl, you can follow my mother at ease, she will definitely find you a good house—well, if you work in a rich family in the future The person who is close to the master, you must take care of us, Xu Ji Yaxing!"

Gu Sixiao smiled, but didn't hesitate to refuse, but said crisply: "That's natural. Brother Erlang, although I am young, I also know the principle of 'be kind to others and be kind to myself', just for myself, I also I want to form a good relationship with my brother!"

After she finished speaking, Xu Erlang couldn't help raising his eyebrows, looked at Gu Sixiao for a few more times, then turned his head and smiled and said to Li's mother: "Mother, it seems that you really have to end this good relationship—success, you are talking, I Go first..."

Mother Li followed her out, turned around, stared at Gu Sixiao for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "I really didn't expect that you girl can be so eloquent. If you look at it this way, you don't need to be trained. Being able to serve the master... well, just like what you said, I have a good relationship with you."

Holding her palms with a cattail fan, Li's mother said lightly: "Ten-year lease, five taels of silver - you can go all over Songjiang Mansion to ask for this price, and there will be no higher price than mine. However, I don't promise , I can sell you into the Gu family, if the Gu family doesn't want you, don't think I'm lying to you..."

"How could it be?" Gu Sixiao smiled, "Mom is the most kind-hearted. If I didn't look at my mother's kindness, I wouldn't dare to be rash to ask my mother--Mom, don't worry..."

Dong Gu's self-proclaimed scholarly family, although no one has been selected for several generations, and only a few scholars have emerged, but the more he is like this, the more he loves arty, and the girl will naturally be willing to buy one who can write and count.

Having made up her mind, Gu Sixiao didn't bargain with Li's mother.

Although she doesn't know much about human trafficking, judging from the bills she helped to copy just now, five taels of silver is not too low to buy a ten-year contract of living.

Just now there were quite a few dead contracts that were sold for only three or four taels of silver.

At first glance, she was really taken aback.It turns out that human life is just the price of a few good fans!

According to Li's mother's intention, she wrote her name on the deed of sale prepared early in the morning, and pressed her hand again. Gu Sixiao hesitated again and again, and asked: "Mom, can I go back first and come back tomorrow?" ?”

Li's mother, who was blowing the red seal, was taken aback, "You have signed the deed of prostitution, where are you going? Didn't you get separated from your parents and no one is there?"

"It's because there's no one around..." Gu Sixiao didn't feel embarrassed, and it wasn't a deliberate lie to keep Sun Tiancang's affairs a secret.

"I've been wandering on the street for the past two years. Thanks to a little brother who took care of me, I want to go back and say goodbye to him—I want to leave some money for him..."

"That's it, he's a caring child..." She boasted, but looking at the pieces of silver, Li's mother still felt uneasy, "It's okay if you want to say goodbye, but this silver—that's all, I also Don’t be a villain, you can take all the money! But Hua’er, you should know that since you signed the deed of sale, you are mine. If you want to sneak away…”

She lowered her head and smiled, Li's mother stopped laughing, and said coldly: "Wang Yasi and Ding Butou in this yamen are good friends with my family's Erlang. If you really run away, I must find a way to catch you... "

"Hua'er understands..." Gu Sixiao blessed his body, but he didn't feel annoyed.

She had no intention of sneaking away, even if she did, that would be a matter of the future.

With the money in hand, she made an appointment to come to the dental office tomorrow by herself, and said goodbye to Li's mother repeatedly. As soon as Gu Sixiao left the dental office, she saw Sun Tiancang running over quickly.

Squatting on the street diagonally opposite, Sun Tiancang had been waiting anxiously. If he hadn't known that Gu Sixiao didn't want him to come over, Sun Tiancang would have run over to see what happened.

Seeing Sun Tiancang's relieved expression, Gu Sixiao also felt warm in his heart.

Pulling Sun Tiancang, she smiled naturally: "Go home..."

Go back to their home, although soon she will be leaving again.
