Chapter 294
Shopkeeper Gu has a lot of people coming and going here, and naturally some people will notice the embroiderers living in the side room next to him.First of all, they are all young girls, and second, they all look very outstanding. Many enthusiastic aunts and sisters-in-law thought about it.

After all, there are no offspring who have decided to have a wife in Beishan Village, but there are quite a few.

These little girls look outstanding and have embroidery skills in their hands. In the future, if they marry into the door, they will be able to bring a lot of income to the family.After a long time, it was inevitable that some women approached the talkative Shopkeeper Gu and brought up this matter.

Shopkeeper Gu was stunned for a moment when he heard the requests of several women, and then he smiled: "I'm afraid it won't work, they are all in the hands of others, and they are enslaved, if you think, I'm afraid I have to pay a sum of money to redeem myself first."

As for how much money is required to redeem the body, shopkeeper Gu did not say clearly.

But just this one sentence is enough to stop those women who are eager to be matchmakers.

It's not that girls who have been enslaved can't marry, but for people with skills like them, if they don't have the grace of the master and just rely on their ordinary people's income, they may not be able to gather enough money to redeem themselves in this life. silver.

What else can one hope for?
It's just that the speaker has no intention of listening, and the listener has intentions. The words of shopkeeper Gu's words quickly reached the ears of several girls in the embroidery room.

Among them, the one with the calmest expression was Su Xin who had always seen everything very clearly.She wasn't sad or depressed, and all her emotions looked the same as usual.

After all, although shopkeeper Gu's words were cruel, it was a fact that they could not refute.

They are indeed servants who are reprimanded by the government. Even marrying into such a peasant family depends on whether the master is willing to grant grace!
It really hurts just thinking about it.

Because of this incident, the atmosphere in the embroidery room has been relatively depressed for several days. It is obvious that the girls in the room are much more silent than before.

Shopkeeper Gu naturally couldn't be unaware of this, but her reaction was very calm, and she didn't even ask for a word.

A few days passed peacefully like this, until the next heavy snow came suddenly without warning.

The embroidered lady here was dispatched from the capital before. Although the capital is also close to the north, after all, the northern border where Fu Manman and the others are now is still very cold in terms of severe cold.

In addition, although these girls were slaves before, some of them can be regarded as having some face in the room of the lady, wife, wife, so no matter how cold it is outside, there are earth dragons and charcoal basins in the room. For them, no matter how heavy the snow is, it will not have any impact on life.

But now in the north, the standard of living has fallen off a cliff.

First of all, there is no earth dragon in the house. Although there are heating kangs and charcoal basins, after all, this house is an adobe house. As the drop became severe, even though shopkeeper Gu looked at them wrongly and added a charcoal basin to them, he still couldn't stand the frailty of these little girls, and within two days, two of them became ill with cold.

Although it was just an ordinary wind and cold, it would not be a problem for Master Gu to let it go. After much deliberation, he let Niuniu go to Fu Manman's house in the wind and snow.

It's no small thing that someone gets frostbite.

After thinking about it, Fu Manman originally planned to come here by himself, but before he could go out, he was stopped by Gu Tingchen.He disapproved and pushed the little girl back to sit on the heating kang, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't bother! Doesn't it sound like a little cold, I'll just send you some medicine there!"

"There's also ginger, put some on for them too." Fu Manman couldn't hold back Gu Tingchen, and of course she knew her own body well, with the current physical condition, I'm afraid it would be really cold if she went out for a trip.

"En." Seeing that Fu Manman no longer insisted on going out, Gu Tingchen became much more talkative.Although his current identity is just a hunter, but after all, he is also born in the royal family, and it is his courtesy and bearing as a venerable to be able to sympathize with his subordinates, but if compared with his little girl, it is completely out of his presence in the eyes.

Originally, Fu Manman's health wasn't very good, but if he went out like this, if he got sick from the cold, it would be even more fatal!
It's just a few slaves bought back, how is her safety important? !

However, Gu Tingchen didn't say what was on his mind. He got up and went to the storage room at the back to pack a bag of the medicinal materials and ginger that Fu Manman said. The pheasant picked up a pheasant, came out and changed into a cloak, and told Niu Niu who was standing obediently at the door: "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Niu Niu is still a child, in such a windy and snowy day, it will definitely not be possible to carry these things in the past!

After explaining to Fu Manman, Gu Tingchen and Niuniu went out of the room together, one after the other, they quickly walked towards the residence of shopkeeper Gu and the others not far from the village.

Shopkeeper Gu was directing a few little girls to go out and use handkerchiefs soaked in snow water to cool down the two girls who had a fever. She was surprised to hear that Gu Tingchen had come, but thinking of Fu Manman's body, she stopped. After thinking about it, he hurriedly got up to greet him, stood under the eaves and let Gu Tingchen into the main room.

"I'm really ashamed to bother you to come this way yourself, master." The shopkeeper Gu thanked Gu Tingchen who walked up the steps in embarrassment, then turned his head and told Niuniu to pour tea, but Gu Tingchen raised his hand to stop him up.

"I have to go back earlier. There are herbs for treating wind and cold, ginger for dispelling cold, and this pheasant. The shopkeeper looked at it and made some chicken soup. It is the best for dispelling cold and nourishing the body.

Manman also asked me to tell the big shopkeeper that although the embroidery work is important, there is no rush at this moment. "

"Yes, thank you Master for your understanding." The shopkeeper Gu looked at the things Gu Tingchen sent over, and hurriedly ordered Niuniu to go forward to pick them up, while continuing to salute Gu Tingchen again.

After Gu Tingchen finished his explanation, he didn't intend to stay any longer, so he turned around and left.

Shopkeeper Gu waited for Gu Tingchen to leave, then turned his head to the two little girls who were still holding snow water in the corridor and said in a low voice: "What are you doing here, it's very cold outside, go in quickly!"

"Oh." The girl was slightly taken aback, turned her head with a blushing face, and quickly picked up the curtain and entered the door.

"Auntie, I'm going to make medicine!" Niu Niu patted her small chest, and very capablely turned out the medicine bag that was under the pressure and ran towards the kitchen.
