On the afternoon of the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou invited the dentist he found to go to the backyard of the pharmacy to discuss.

Zhou was actually a little smart. She invited two of them to compare and reduce the price. In fact, because of this great plague in the south, ordinary people can't even support their sons. The daughter is almost half sold and half given away. Someone can help them raise their daughters. Even if they have nothing to do with their childbirth in the future, they will recognize them.

The final agreed price was ten taels of silver for each girl, all of which were fifteen years of sales contracts, and the age was fourteen, but Hui Niang needed to choose it himself.

Hui Niang and Zhou agreed that this time, we should first buy someone who is strong and able to work, and that is, they are smart and quick to learn things. After all, running a pharmacy shop requires not only moving and lifting, but also cleverness. It is best to write some simple words to recognize the content of the prescription.

After handing over the order, Hui Niang was about to follow the dentist to pick people, but Chen Xi pulled him to Yi: "Auntie, those dentist are not good people. If they do evil, they will also kidnap aunties, what should we do?"

Hui Niang's face turned pale when she heard this.

Chen Xi is very reasonable. Both of the two dentists sell their daughters, but who knows the true or false?

"What should I do?"

Hui Niang looked at the two dentists waiting at the door of the backyard and asked nervously.

"Auntie needs to find more people, it is best to start with a few hiring from the street. At least they are from our city, and they know the roots and will not help these outsiders." Chen Xi finally suggested.

Hui Niang, hurry up and deal with Zhou.

Zhou also thought it made sense. He only needed Hui Niang to go alone, but Zhou was worried and decided to accompany him. Then the two of them went to the street to invite a few strong strong men to accompany him.

When it was almost dark, Zhou and Hui Niang finally came back, and three girls followed them. When they entered the door, Hui Niang turned on the oil lamp and turned around and separated the door panel.

"Mom, aunt, you are back, your stomach is almost hungry." Chen Xi lay on the counter and slept. At this time, he rubbed his eyes and looked at the three strange women in front of him with the help of the light of the oil lamp.

The three girls bought were dressed in ragged clothes, like beggars, and only their faces were washed clean. It was probably because the dentist sold them and washed them specially, and each of them carried a ragged bag.

Among these three, some women looked particularly strong, about 70 meters tall, with wheat-colored skin, thick arms and legs, like an iron tower. The other two looked much weaker, one of them timidly pinching the corner of their clothes, looking very afraid of being angry, and looked pretty.

"Come on, sit down and talk!"

Hui Niang greeted the three girls, meaning they could find a chair to sit down by themselves, but the three girls had the courage to stand there with their heads down, and they didn't dare to move!

"You just treat this place as your own home, so you don't have to be so restrained. I won't treat you badly. In addition to providing you with food, clothing and housing, I will also give you money and money every month in the future, and it won't take fifteen years. When you get about the same age, you will get married. I will go to the government to register you tomorrow, and we will be family members in the future."

"Thank you two grandmas for taking in."

The three girls knelt down at the same time and kowtowed to thank him.

Zhou Shiyi frowned: "What grandma? It sounds awkward. I will call this shopkeeper in the future. I will call her aunt."

Hui Niang went up to help each other, letting the three girls stand up, and looking at their appearance one by one.

"You will take care of the business of this pharmacy in the future. I was so anxious that I didn't see it very clearly. I didn't have time to ask you names. Let's take the names one by one."

The girl who is more delicate than handsome, and who is thick or thick, has a relatively mediocre figure and appearance said: "We don't have a name, please give me a name."

"Don't have a name? You should know what your surname is?" Hui Niang was a little surprised. Although the etiquette and law in this era were strict, girls should have a name for themselves, just like her.

The three girls shook their heads at the same time, which made Hui Niang feel strange. She thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out, so she said, "It's not good to have no name. Let's do this. What should I name you? Lang, you are going to school, learn well, help me think about it."

After Hui Niang turned around and looked at Chen Xi standing by the counter, and waved.

"Me? Not OK?"

Chen Xi laughed, "Auntie, you can get up casually, cats and dogs can do it."

Zhou scolded: "No serious person, he is a girl, how can he get such a name? Is it okay to call you Amamao and Amaga? Aunt asked you, hurry up."

Chen Xi looked at the three girls carefully again. The thicker ones should be a farm girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she looked delicate. She bought it for the purpose of doing a strong job. The so-called supplement for whatever is missing, so Chen Xi said: "This sister looks like a boy, so she calls her Xiu'er."

Zhou Shiyi glared: "You stinky guy, if you look like a boy, you call Xiu'er. Should you call me Tiedan like a girl?"

Hui Niang was satisfied, "The name is pretty good, girls should be a bit delicate. Lang, please continue."

Chen Xi looked at the girl in the middle with a moderate head and a lively sensation between her eyebrows and eyes and said, "This sister is generous and decent, and she is suitable for movement and stillness. Why not call her Ning'er?"

"Well, it's pretty good, too." Hui Niang said, "Let's call her Ning'er in the future."

Chen Xi finally looked at the girl who had a very beautiful appearance and looked afraid of life. She thought that this person was not from an ordinary person. Chen Xi looked at her and said, "Auntie, I think her temperament is sixty or seventy percent similar to Dai'er, so why not just call her jade?"

As soon as Chen Xi spoke, Zhou started to curse: "A slut, if you look like Dai'er, you have to call me Yu? What should I call me if I look like your mother? No, no, these names have to be changed. Fortunately, Aunt Sun thinks that you have been to school for a few days and see what you have chosen?"

The three girls looked at the young grandmother in front of them in surprise and cursed the young master, and they all wondered what the relationship between the Yi family was.

They didn't dare to ask more questions before they came. When they arrived at the place, they found that there were two mistresses alone, and there was also a very mature young master. Their first reaction should be Yi's family. Hui Niang and Zhou might be wives and concubines, and they seemed quite harmonious.

The girl with a delicate face said timidly: "The name given by the young master is very nice, I have received it."

Hui Niang was also beating the drum: "Sister, don't be angry with Lang. It was me who asked him to name these girls. It's good to call them Yu. This girl looks delicate and lyrics, according to the dentist, can you recognize the characters?"

Yu Luo's head: "Dad taught me before, and I have almost learned all the thousands of characters."

Hui Niang smiled: "I didn't expect this girl to be from a scholarly family. Unfortunately, the year is not good. The Yellow River and Huai River in the north are flooded, and there is a plague in the south. From now on, you will support yourself on the counter and help your aunt get medicine. As for Ning'er, she will stay in the backyard to wipe and wash, and leave the bits and pieces of work at home to you in the future."

"I understand." Ning'er's eyes rolled and she replied with a bow.

Finally, Xiu'er, who was strong and strong, asked, "Grandma, what am I doing?"

Hui Niang looked at Xiu'er and asked, "I heard that your accent should be from the north? Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, where is your home?"

"If you go back to grandma, my family is from Henan. There is a flood there and my parents are drowned. I was sold to the south by my relatives to work for wealthy families. As a result, a few days after I went there, the village started to have a plague. Most of the master's family died, and the rest also went to join relatives and friends, so I was sold here."

Hui Niang sighed: "I heard that your life experience is quite bumpy. Are there anyone in your family?"

The three girls shook their heads at the same time.

Hui Niang thought to herself, since she didn't even know her surname and name, there should be no one in the family, so that's good, so you don't have to worry too much when you get used to it in the future.

But she didn't know that this was what the dentist told the three girls specifically. Since they were sold to someone else's house, they would completely forget what happened before. In the future, the master's family would be blessed to treat you well, but if they were not treated well, they would be miserable to your life.

The dentist teaches these things to facilitate control and allow these people who sell themselves as slaves to be content with the situation and not to take private escape. If the reputation ruins the dentist's business in the future, it will be difficult to do.
