Not long after, a woman came in with five young and beautiful girls. They bowed to Xiao Ming and others in a proper manner. Each of them looked pretty and pretty, standing tall and graceful. The eyebrows are lowered and the eyes are in harmony, and the rules are very good. One look at it and you can tell that Po An has trained her carefully.
"Dr. Xiao, what do you think of these?" Po An was a little proud. These five girls were the best in her place. She spent a lot of money to hire a special tutor to teach them reading, literacy, and cooking skills. Although they are not proficient in everything, they are good at everything, but they are usually reluctant to let them work, and they are raised like the daughters of a boudoir.
Of course, she put so much effort into cultivating it just to sell it at a good price.
"It's very good." Xiao Ming nodded, but was not very interested. They were good-looking, and each of them was more beautiful than a flower. The five of them stood together and each had their own merits; but it was not suitable for their farm family, but they were impressed by the woman who led them here. Interested, this person is not very old and looks to be around four or five years old, but he is about the same age as his godmother. He does not look sideways, leads the person into the house, salutes, and stands aside without saying a word.
Just stand, some people seem to have no sense of existence when they stand, which makes people feel that they do not exist and are ordinary; some people, standing just become a scenery, dignified and majestic, this person The woman belonged to that type of person. She had a solemn look on her face without saying a word, and her demeanor was three points better than that of Mrs. Li next to the county magistrate's wife Lin. She looked like a steward mother from a wealthy family.
With her and her godmother as companions, her godmother would not be lonely or bored, but she didn't know if she was willing to do it anymore, Xiao Ming thought and slowly came up with an idea.
"Po An, please allow us to discuss it." Xiao Ming Zhuan'er said to Po An.
"Okay, Doctor Xiao, you guys chat slowly while the old lady goes to deal with some things first." An Po said, then she led a few people out of the hall.
After leaving the room, Po An said to a few little girls: "You guys go back first. Mother Yi and I have something to say."
"Yes." The five little girls bowed and left.
"Mother Yi, do you think Doctor Xiao has taken a fancy to which one of them?" An Po asked Mother Yi to sit down and sat aside to ask her opinion.
"I think that girl is young, but she has an idea. She may not have liked any of them." Yi's mother thought for a while and replied. At that time, the five of them were led by the girl.
The five little girls she brought over were all the five most outstanding girls, each with their own strengths, but she only glanced at them and didn't look at them again. She didn't even ask their names, let alone know their specialties. .
When a wealthy family chooses a girl or a servant, they not only look at their appearance, they also need to know the three previous generations and have some knowledge of their specialties and habits. These appearance, habits and life experience will be eliminated in the first round of selection, and then the physical examination will be carried out. , ranging from the size of the body to the scars on the body and toes, all were inspected one by one, and those who passed the screening were taken away.
The little girl did nothing but glanced at him. She didn't understand the rules or had no intention of buying anyone at all.
"I think so too." An Po has been doing business for many years, and she can understand what her customers are thinking at a glance. Seeing Xiao Ming's silent attitude just now, she was a little disappointed, thinking that this business might not be successful.
"Mrs. Xiao is not bad. I originally wanted to let you go with her, but I don't know if it will work now." An Po said lonely.
Unexpectedly, Mother Yi became angry when she heard this. She stood up and raised her voice involuntarily: "Why, you still want to drive us out. I said I won't leave."
She worked hard to teach these little girls etiquette and rules, and taught them embroidery. She made suggestions and trained talents for her. She did so much just to achieve the conditions she had reached and to give her son and grandson a place to stay.
Unexpectedly, after just a few days of stable life, she still couldn't change the profit-seeking nature of businessmen, and she still had to drive them out for the sake of money.
"Don't get excited, just listen to me." An Po stabilized the angry mother Yi, quickly closed the door, and then said: "This Mrs. Xiao is very good. She has superb medical skills at a young age. Look at my hair. It grew back just by taking the medicine she gave me."
As soon as Yi's mother heard what she said, she looked straight at her.
"I know you are also worried about your son's illness. His face was burned to death like that. I also hope he can recover, but you also know that I have invited countless doctors for him but nothing can be done. Maybe Dr. Xiao can do something. What? For your sake, I asked around, have you ever heard of Jiang Sihai from the Sihai Escort Company? When he was chopped to the point of death, it was Doctor Xiao who saved his life."
"Did you see those two children just now? The taller one is her nephew, and the other one was bought by her in the same village. Look at how they are dressed. They are better than the young masters from small families in the city. Okay, as long as you follow her and be loyal to her, she can be nice to you."
What An Po said made Yi's mother calm down. Seeing that she was no longer angry, An Po continued: "I'm not doing it for your own good. What's the point of following me? I'm an unknown person and I don't even have any descendants." , and they are engaged in this unscrupulous business. They have made money, but no matter how much money they have, what is the use? .”
An Po said that tears flowed down unconsciously, and she quickly wiped them with a handkerchief. She had made a lot of money in her life, but her life was miserable. In the Mood for Love, she married a picker and went around the streets doing business with the man. , all he made was a small profit. Although life was difficult in the first few years, the family was happy and contented together, and he even gave birth to a son.
Later, I slowly started this business. In the first few years, I did all kinds of unscrupulous transactions for the sake of money and profit. The business grew day by day. With the money, the man also became bad, and finally died after the woman. The child also contracted smallpox and died within a few years.
It is said that people should not lose their conscience and do all the bad things, otherwise they will be punished. Isn't this retribution coming? Her husband and son are gone, leaving her alone.
In order to seize her family property, the people in the tribe instantly turned into demons that can eat people without spitting out their bones. Why do they say that she is unlucky and unruly, and they want to drive her away so that they can seize her business money? It is because of her firm attitude and tough methods. Drive away those white-eyed wolves who are like wolves and tigers.
After the death of the man's son, she gradually restrained herself and never took the initiative to sell people to those dirty places. She tried her best to find a good place for them, and even took over poor mother Yi's family.
She also wants Mother Yi to follow her, help her in business, and talk to her from the bottom of her heart. She can protect three of her people in one day, but she will grow old and die one day, and one day she will die. What should they do? Those white-eyed wolves either sold them or drove them away. How could her son live with such a face in the future?
