Chapter 156: Choosing a Name


When He Zijin came home, before he could take a sip of water, Zhang Yapo came with a row of girls.

A Nian and A Lie were so old that this was the first time they had seen someone buying someone.

They were very curious and came to take a look.

Mrs.

Shen sent them, "Go to the embroidery workshop and call your third sister back."

The two of them left in response.

Mrs.

Shen asked Mrs.

Zhang Ya to sit in the courtyard and smiled, "Sister-in-law Zhang, wait a moment.

As you know, I bought a servant to serve the two girls.

I have to ask them to take a look."

Just watch."

Such opportunities are rare for the He family, and Mrs.

Shen thought that the children would also gain some experience.

Zhang Yapo smiled, "It's as it should be."

Aunt Yu brought tea, and Zhang Yapo stood up to take it, smiling, "I don't dare bother you."

She said hello to Mrs.

He again, calling her aunt.

In fact, we are all old residents of Bishui County.

Zhang Yapo's job is not very dignified, but the benefits are extremely affordable.

There are also maids and boys at home to serve.

It's just that when it comes to family status, it is no better than the He family.

He Gong was selected as a scholar, and a book box can be carved on the stone pier outside the door to show that the scholar comes from a family.

At that moment, He Zijin changed his clothes and came out.

Zhang Yapo praised her first, "I've heard for a long time that your two girls are the most outstanding girls in the whole county.

These are the eldest girls of your family."

When He Zijin saw that Zhang Yapo was in her forties, with a shiny hairdo, three taels of gold hairpins, and her clothes were made of silk, he knew that Zhang Yapo's life as a human trafficker was very good, so he smiled and called out, "Hello, Aunt Zhang."

Zhang Yapo smiled and said, "Okay, a big girl is fine."

Then she asked He Zijin how old he was and whether he would go to the chrysanthemum fight this year or something.

Seeing that He Zijin looked like a little beauty at such a young age, Zhang Yapo sighed secretly, wondering that she had been nearly kidnapped by a kidnapper when she was young, and this kidnapper was not bad at all.

The third girl and Anian Alie came back very quickly, but Hu Wen was still with them.

Since the wedding ceremony between the two families, Hu Wen felt that he had become a serious official, so he went to the embroidery workshop from time to time to check on the third girl.

Fortunately, He was a lively person, and he became familiar with the people in the embroidery workshop within a few days.

Although others saw him, he made some harmless jokes, but it didn't hurt his dignity.

The third girl greeted Zhang Yapo, and Zhang Yapo smiled and flattered He Lao Niang, "I dare not say it elsewhere, but in our Bishui County, I can be considered a somewhat knowledgeable person.

My aunt is really extraordinary.

She has taken care of the two girls so well."

Like a challenge."

Madam He was heartbroken and pretended to be modest, "What are you provoking?

She's just a girl from a small family."

Zhang Yapo and Hu Wen also recognized each other and said with a smile, "Fourth Young Master, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Hu Wen said with a smile, "I just heard that Aunt Zhang was here, so I came over to say hello to you."

From Hu Wen's background, such politeness naturally impressed Zhang Yapo, so he took a picture of Mrs.

He and made her look so charming.

In a blink of an eye, Ya Po coaxed Hu Wen to feel comfortable.

Zhang Yapo knew that Hu Wen was trying to coax her, but at her age, it would be enough for her to be happy if a young junior from Hu Wen's background was willing to coax her.

Zhang Yapo covered her lips with a handkerchief and giggled.

Just laugh," What the Fourth Young Master said made me so happy.

Last time I went to pay my respects to your old lady, and I said that the Fourth Young Master has become more considerate.

"I also praised Hu He's marriage as a match made in heaven.

He is a talented man and a beautiful woman."

Now that the two families have officially exchanged wedding invitations and the wedding ceremony, the marriage is finalized, so it can be said.

Zhang Yapo didn't make fun of the two of them, but secretly thought that the third girl had some tricks up her sleeve.

Before they even got married, Fourth Young Master Hu came to He's house to show his courtesy.

After everyone talked for a while, Zhang Yapo called the row of girls over and gave them to the He family to choose.

These girls are thin and thin, and their coarse cloth clothes are empty on their bodies.

Their faces, hands and feet are very clean, and their hair is neatly combed.

Except for two of them with somewhat delicate eyebrows, they all have an ordinary appearance that can neither be said to be good-looking nor ugly.

The third girl, He Zijin, wanted to choose a maid.

Hu Wen said something and went to the study to ask He Gong for advice.

This was the first time Ah Lie and Ah Nian had seen the idea of ​​buying someone.

He felt strange and did not go with Hu Wen.

Ah Lie was still impatient.

The two sisters hadn't picked anyone yet, so he couldn't help but ask, "Sister, which one do you think is better?"

He Zijin actually felt that they were almost the same.

She asked these girls, "Do you know how to cook or sew at home?"

Zhang Yapo smiled first and said, "Oh, my eldest girls, they are not rich ladies.

Who can't cook or mend?"

He Zijin smiled and said, "Don't worry, ma'am.

Listen to them."

A person's temperament can always be seen from his words.

These girls, you look at me, I look at you, the leader, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, said politely, "I learned cooking from my mother at home, and I also know how to sew and make clothes.

It’s just that the embroidery work is ordinary.”

The second girl's appearance is not as good as that of the first one, but her temper is cheerful.

She said, "When I'm at home, I cook and clean the house and outside.

I haven't learned embroidery, but I can sew simple clothes."

The third one was slightly younger than the first two.

He looked about twelve or thirteen years old.

Although he was young, his facial features were the best among the girls.

He said softly, "I can make pastries."

The fourth one was even younger.

He looked about 20 years old and was timid.

Before he could speak, his face turned red.

He stared at the ground and his voice was trembling.

Herding sheep, mending clothes, sewing buttons, mending socks, and taking care of children.”

The fifth girl, who was a bit dark-skinned, said, "I'm not very good at cooking and sewing.

I spend most of my time at home farming."

The sixth girl said, "I can cook, mend clothes, grow vegetables, and raise silkworms."

Bishui County is a small place, and even if Mrs.

Zhang Ya is engaged in human trafficking, she cannot always have many children on hand to buy and sell.

The He family planned to buy one, two, and three maids, so Mrs.

Zhang brought six for the He family to choose from.

After hearing what the six girls said, He Zijin and the third girl looked at each other, and the third girl said, "Stretch out your hand."

You can tell most of what a person does for a living from his hands.

The two asked and looked at it, and He Zijin said, "Third sister, you choose first."

The third girl smiled, "My sister should come first."

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "Don't give in.

You guys have different temperaments, so you will definitely choose different people.

The third girl comes first."

The third girl has been in the He family since she was a child and has long regarded it as her own.

After hearing what Shen said, she stopped giving in and asked the names of the second and fifth girls.

Zhang Yapo smiled, " One is called Erxi and the other is called Wuxi.”

The third girl fell in love with these two.

He Zijin pointed to the fourth timid girl, "Then her name is Sixi."

Why not call her Wanzi?

Zhang Yapo smiled, "The eldest girl is really smart, why don't you call her Sixi?

This is a common name I chose.

Both girls are talented women who have knowledge and education.

Give them whatever names you like."

The next thing to do was calculate the money between Zhang Yapo and the Shen family.

One big and two small.

Zhang Yapo asked for eighteen taels.

She said, "The big one is ten taels, the small one is five taels each.

My aunt and sister are the first."

Go back to my business here and let’s get a lucky draw, just eighteen taels.”

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "Wouldn't this be a loss for my sister-in-law?"

Zhang Yapo is a cheerful person and said with a smile, "You won't lose if you lose.

My eyes will never be wrong again.

The prosperity of your family lies behind, and I have a good relationship.

My aunt and sister know that I am a real person." , just take care of my business from now on.”

"According to my sister-in-law's good advice, there will inevitably be trouble for my sister-in-law."

Mrs.

Shen ordered Cui'er to weigh the money.

Aunt Yu took the three Xi'er down to clean up and settle down.

Zhang Yapo said, "Guangyuan has been hit by disasters.

There was a severe drought in the spring and a severe flood in the summer.

The weather is not as smooth as ours.

They are all girls from Guangyuan.

Although they are sold into slavery now, maybe Having a full meal is not a blessing.

"Every child who sells his body is not miserable.

Zhang Yapo was used to seeing things.

She told a few words about the origins of the Xi'ers, gave the marriage contracts of several of them to He Lao Niang, and said, "At this time, the Yamen will not be doing anything.

Tomorrow, my aunt and sister will send someone to the Yamen to take care of them."

It would be best if they transferred the ownership to your famous family."

It was getting late, so Zhang Yapo stood up and left.

Mrs.

He and Mrs.

Shen politely left the meal, but Zhang Yapo declined with a smile.

Mrs.

Shen got up and sent Zhang Yapo out.

Zhang Yapo was a talkative person.

She looked at Shen's belly and said, "Looking at your pointed belly, it must be a boy."

Shen's belly is already a little pregnant, but fortunately she is a smart person and not bulky.

He Zijin was used to taking care of pregnant women.

He and the three girls helped Shen Shi on the left and right.

Shen Shi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter about my son and my daughter.

As long as the child is safe and healthy."

This is what he said from his heart.

She hurts just as much.

It's just that her husband's family connections are weak, but Mrs.

Shen is still looking forward to having a son.

However, even though Mrs.

Shen herself longed for a son, she was not giving him a son.

It was God's will to have more children, and Mrs.

Shen refused to keep her word.

"That's right."

Shen asked again if she had hired a midwife.

Shen smiled and said, "We have already made an agreement with the fairy aunt in our clan.

Back then, Zijin and his younger brothers asked the fairy aunt for help."

Zhang Yapo nodded in approval, "Auntie Fairy's craftsmanship is one of the best in our county.

Her mother is an expert at delivering babies.

This is considered a skill inherited from their ancestors."

The two of them talked a lot during the few steps from the inner courtyard to the door.

As soon as they arrived at the door, Zhang Yapo said that it was cool in the evening and persuaded Shen to go back.

Shen was very reluctant and watched Zhang Yapo go away and take the children back. .

Because it was getting cold in the evening, everyone went to sit in Mrs.

He's room.

Hu Wen never regarded himself as an outsider, so he went to Mrs.

He's house with He Gong.

He Lie then said to his sister, "Sister, I think the third girl is the prettiest, why didn't you choose the prettier one?"

He Zijin said, "The first girl and the third girl must have had good family backgrounds in the past.

However, our family buys people for work, so naturally we have to choose people who can do the work."

He Lie was deeply surprised, "Which family buys a maid not for working?"

There are also people who buy maids not for working.

In his family, from his grandmother to his mother to his sister, everyone has to do work, not to mention the maid's mother-in-law.

Son.

Hu Wen smiled and said to He Lie, "This is different.

Some families like to be gentle, well-versed in poetry and calligraphy, and good-looking.

Such maids don't have to do heavy work.

They can be taken care of in the future.

Pouring tea and water is just work.”

"What kind of job is this?

It's not like being a slave.

It's just to enjoy happiness."

He Lie sighed and asked, "Brother Awen, is it possible that your family has such a maid?"

"There are not many maids like this.

They say they serve tea and water, but in fact they have to serve the master, but they don't need to do the menial work.

There are menial maids who do the menial work.

These are the men who do the work around the master.

Personal maids are naturally more delicate."

While explaining, Hu Wen did not forget to express his feelings and smiled, "I don't have any maids around me, they are all servants.

I don't like to make girls look delicate. " He Lie didn't know why, and said straight away, "Brother Awen, your maid is too delicate, and that's why you feel squeamish."

His sister Cui'er is not squeamish at all.

Hu Wen smiled, "Maybe so."

Mrs.

He and Mrs.

Shen both laughed.

Deep down, He Gong also felt that Hu Wen was not very good at studying, but his character was still very good.

The old ghosts and Anian sighed, "It's strange that Mr.

Hu can marry a good wife."

Hu Wen is not very young, but he is very perceptive of people's hearts and knows best what his mother-in-law wants to hear.

A Nian said to the old ghost in his heart, "Brother Awen really doesn't have a maid to serve him."

He had noticed it when he went to Hu's house.

Although the third sister was not as important as Zi Jin in his heart, A Nian was also very concerned about the life events of the third sister. drop

The old ghost said, "If we can stay consistent, it will indeed be a good marriage."

Ah Nian nodded slightly.

Suddenly, Grandma Yu brought the three Xi'er who had been repacked to salute.

Madam He nodded and said with the air of an old lady, "From now on, Er Xi and Wu Xi will serve the third girl, and Si Xi will serve Zi Jin.

Go and meet your girls."

Er Xi, Wu Xi and Four Xi met the third girl and He Zijin respectively, and Grandma Yu taught them how to recognize He Gong, A Nian, A Lie and Hu Wen.

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "Each of you maids, give yourselves a name.

Tomorrow I will take Xiao Fuzi to the Yamen to handle the transfer of ownership."

Mrs.

He felt that she was the mother of scholars, and said, "The word "happy" is a bit tacky."

As she said this, she looked eager to try, and the three girls followed the trend to make Mrs.

He happy, smiling, "My aunt is the most knowledgeable, not as good as Auntie, help us get it."

He Lao Niang did her duty, "But there are some good names, which are very auspicious."

After coughing, He Lao Niang bent her two small eyes and said, "I think it's better to call them love gold, love silver, and love money.

It's a good name, good luck."

Before Mrs.

He could finish her words, He Zijin squirted the tea on the ground and laughed loudly, "It's better to call her Xi'er."

He choked a few times, and A Nian hurriedly gave it to him.

Sister Zijin slapped her back.

Shen and others couldn't help laughing.

He Lao Niang was slightly angry and said to He Zijin, "Ignorant girl, how could there be a better name in the world?"

She said that she was planning to name her daughter Aijin, but the short-lived old man insisted on it.

The name is not good, so I gave my daughter the famous name He Jing, which made He Lao Niang regretful for many years.

Later, Mrs.

Shen gave birth to He Zijin.

At that time, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good.

He Lao Niang was reluctant to give Yatou Pianzi the name Aijin.

She originally wanted Yatou Pianzi to call her the eldest grandson, but her son couldn't agree and took the son by force.

This is my name.

Now that she was sincerely naming the two girls, Mrs.

He came up with the good names she had treasured for many years.

Unexpectedly, this ignorant girl insisted on saying, "Anyway, Sixi is definitely not called love of money.

It seems that I love money so much.

Let's call Sixi Sixi.

What a good name.

Life is Sixi." , a long drought brings sweet rain, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and the time when the gold medal is inscribed. " Ah Nian said, "It's not a good idea to call the maid Sixi."

The flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, the title on the gold medal, etc. are not meant for girls.

Mrs.

He nodded, "I, Ah Nian, am still good at it.

I am worthy of being a scholar."

He Zijin thought for a while, "Then let's call it meatballs.

Sixi meatballs, a good dish."

He Lao Niang said, "If you can give this maid a name, you will know that your master is a glutton."

He Zijin chuckled, "I don't mind."

Although the third girl was willing to make her aunt happy, the name "love gold, love silver" was a little hard to say, so she took the opportunity to say, "Let's call the second happiness and the fifth happiness peas and wheat.

How simple. " "Okay, a bunch of food."

Mrs.

He couldn't see anything simple, and it wasn't a disaster year, so why did she name it a bunch of food?

She curled her lips, feeling that her two girls were ignorant.

Mrs.

Shen took advantage of the situation and started talking, smiling, "Speaking of food, Cui'er went to ask the cook to add two good dishes, and left Awen to eat in the evening."

Hu Wenxiao said, "My great-aunt and aunt always love me so much.

They want me to come again even if they ask me to come."

Mrs.

He said dullly, "You can come, but our family doesn't have enough food anyway.

Look at your sisters who have such good names, they are still educated and literate people."

The three maids finally got new names, but He Lao Niang talked about Miss He Zijin for a long time because the good name she treasured was not adopted. gd1806102:
