156. Name

When He Zijin returned home, before he could take a sip of water, Zhang Yapo brought a row of girls of all sizes. A Nian and A Lie grew up so old that it was the first time he had encountered someone buying. He was very curious and followed him to see him. Shen sent them, "Go to the embroidery shop to ask your three sisters to come back."

The two of them responded and Mrs. Shen asked Mrs. Zhang to sit in the yard and laughed, "Sister-in-law Zhang, wait a moment. You know, I bought the two girls for the service, and I have to ask them to take a look." There are not many opportunities for the He family, and Mrs. Shen thought to ask the children to gain more knowledge.

Zhang Yapo laughed, "This is what it should be." Madam Yu brought the tea, Zhang Yapo got up and answered, laughed, "I dare not get up." She asked Mrs. He again and said to her aunt. In fact, everyone is old homes in Bishui County. Zhang Yapo is not very decent in this business, but it is very affordable. She also has a family that is served by a maid. But when it comes to family background, it is not as good as the He family. He Gong became a scholar, and a bookcase can be carved on the stone pier in front of the door to show that she is studying.

He Zijin changed his clothes and Zhang Yapo praised first, "I have heard that your two girls are outstanding in Hexian County. These are your eldest girls."

Seeing Zhang Yapo's appearance in his forties, He Zijin was combed with a shiny zier, putting three taels of gold hairpins, and her clothes were cut in silk. He knew that Zhang Yapo's life was very good in trafficking. He smiled and called out, "Hello Aunt Zhang."

Zhang Yapo smiled and said, "Okay, the big girl is good." He asked He Zijin how old he is, and he still has to go to fight chrysanthemums this year. Seeing that He Zijin is just a little beauty at such a young age, Zhang Yapo sighed inwardly, saying that he was almost abducted by a kidnapper when he was young, and this kidnapper is not considered to be insignificant.

The third girl and A Nian A Lie came back very quickly, but Hu Wen was still following him. Since the two families passed the ceremony, Hu Wen realized that he had a serious reputation. He went to the embroidery shop from time to time to time to see the third girl. Fortunately, he was very lively and became familiar with the people in the embroidery shop within a few days. Although others were a little harmless joke, they were not hurt. The third girl greeted Zhang Yapo, and Zhang Yapo smiled and flattered Old Madam He, "I dare not say anything else. In our Bishui County, I am a little knowledgeable person. My aunt is really extraordinary and has treated the two girls so outstandingly."

Old Madam He enjoyed her heart and pretended to be modest, "What are you going to do with me? It's just a girl from a small family."

Zhang Yapo and Hu Wen also recognized each other and smiled, "Fourth Young Master, it's been a long time since we met."

Hu Wen smiled and said, "I came over to say goodbye to you just because I heard that Aunt Zhang is here." With Hu Wen's background, he naturally enjoyed Zhang Yapo's kindness, so he coaxed Hu Wen to be so happy. Zhang Yapo knew that Hu Wen was using words to coax her, but at her age, it was enough for her to be happy with a young man like Hu Wen to coax her with words. Zhang Yapo covered his lips with a veil and giggled, "I

My young master said this, I am so happy. Last time I went to pay my respects to your old lady, and I said that the fourth young master is becoming more and more thorough." He praised the marriage between Hu and He families, which is a perfect match, and the couple is a good match. Now the two families have officially changed their Geng Tie and have passed the ceremony. The marriage is a foregone conclusion, so it can be said. Zhang Yapo didn't joke with the two, but thought to himself that the third girl had the means. Before she got married, the fourth young master Hu came to the He family to show his respect.

After everyone talked for a while, Zhang Yapo called the row of girls of all sizes and big to come over and pick them for the He family. These girls were thin and thin, with coarse cloth clothes empty, with clean faces, hands and feet, and neatly combed hair. Except for two eyebrows and eyes, they were both ordinary, which were neither good nor ugly.

The third girl He Zijin wanted to pick a maid, Hu Wen said, and went to the study to find He Gong to ask for homework. A Liei A Nian was the first time he saw a buyer, and he felt strange in his heart, so he didn't talk to Hu Wen. A Lie was still impatient. Before the two sisters picked someone, he couldn't help asking, "Sister, which one do you think is better?"

He Zijin actually felt that they were all the same. She asked these girls, "Can you cook at home? Can you know how to needle and thread?"

Zhang Yapo smiled first, "Oh, my big girl, they are not daughters, who can't cook and repair them?"

He Zijin smiled, "Don't worry, listen to them." A person's temper and temperament can always be seen from his words.

These girls look at me, I look at you, and the 14 or 15-year-old girl who is the leader, said politely, "I have learned cooking from my mother at home, and I can also have some needlework and threading, and I can also make clothes, but I just embroider the ordinary."

The second girl was not as good as the first one, but she was very smart and said, "When I was at home, I always cooked and cleaned the inside and outside the house. I had never learned to embroider, and simple clothes would be sewn."

The third one is slightly younger than the first two. He looks like he is twelve or thirteen years old. Although he is young, his eyebrows are the best among the girls. He whispered, "I can make pastries."

The fourth one is even younger. She looks timid and before she can speak, her face turns red, staring at the ground, her voice trembling, "Burn fire, cook, wash clothes, beat pigs and grass, feed pigs, sheep, repair clothes, fold buttons, repair socks, and take care of children."

The fifth girl had a little black face and said, "I don't have much needlework and I'm good at cooking, I'm always farming when I'm at home."

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

Bishui County is a small place. Even if Zhang Yapo is engaged in population trading, he will never have many children on hand. The He family plans to buy one, two, and three maids, so Zhang brought six to choose from for the He family.

After hearing the six girls say that, He Zijin and the third girl looked at each other, and the third girl said, "Extend your hand." You can see most of the money you are doing when you make a living by yourself.

The two of them asked and read it, and He Zijin said, "Three sisters, you choose first."

The third girl laughed, "It's better for my sister to come first."

Shen smiled, "Don't give in. You have different personalities and you will definitely choose different people. The third girl will come first."

The third girl has been in the He family since she was a child and thought it was her own. After hearing what Shen said, she stopped refusing her to ask the second girl and the fifth girl’s name. 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 she is called Sixi." Isn't it called Maruko~

Zhang Yapo smiled, "The big girl is so smart, isn't she just called Sixi? This is my common name. Both girls are talented girls who have learned knowledge and study. What name do you like? Just give them another one."

Then the money-calculated thing was Zhang Yapo and Shen. One big and two small, Zhang Yapo asked for 18 taels. She said, "The big one is ten taels, and the small one is five taels each. This is the first time my aunt and sister have started my business here. Let's get a lottery ticket, just 18 taels."

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

Zhang Yapo is a cheerful person and smiled and said, "You will not lose money. My eyes will never misunderstand. Your family is prosperous later. I am also making a good relationship. My aunt and sister know that I am a real person, so she can take care of my business more in the future."

"Sister-in-law is a good word. There is a place to bother my sister-in-law." Shen ordered Cui'er to come and call for money. Madam Yu took three Xier down to clean up and place her.

Zhang Yapo said, "There was a disaster in Guangyuan. There was a severe drought in spring and a severe flood in summer. It was not as good as the weather here. They were all girls from Guangyuan. Although they are now selling their bodies as slaves, they might have a full meal, which is a blessing." Zhang Yapo is used to any of the children who sold their bodies. After saying a few words about the origin of the Xi'er, he gave the contract of the sales of several people to Mr. He, and said, "At this time, the yamen will not do anything anymore. I will send someone to the yamen tomorrow and transfer them to your famous family." It was getting late, and Mrs. Zhang Yapo stood up and said goodbye. Mrs. He was polite to keep the meal. Mrs. Zhang Yapo smiled and refused. Mrs. Shen stood up and sent Zhang Yapo out. Mrs. Zhang Yapo was a person who loves to talk and laugh. Looking at Mrs. Shen's belly, he said, "Look at your sharp belly, you must be a male fetus."

Shen's belly was already a little bit conceited, but fortunately she was a clever person and was not bulky. He Zijin habitually took care of pregnant women and helped Shen with the third girl on the left and right. Shen laughed, "It's not a big deal for his son, but the child is safe and healthy." This is what he said in his heart. Her daughter's son's son, she also felt pain. However, her husband's family had a weak connection, and Shen was still looking forward to having a son. However, although Shen wanted his son, it was not the concubine who gave birth to a child. Most of his children were destined to say something to death.

"That's what." He asked Shen again that he had asked for a midwife.

Shen smiled, "I have already agreed with the fairy aunt in our clan that Zijin and his younger brothers all invited fairy aunt to help."

Zhang Yapo nodded and praised, "Aunt Xian's skills are also worthwhile in our county. Her mother is a good student of delivery, and they are also considered their ancestral skills."

The two of them said a lot more from the steps from the inner courtyard to the door. As soon as they arrived at the door, Zhang Yapo said that Feng Liang advised Shen to go back in the evening. Shen was very reluctant and watched Zhang Yapo walk away and take the children back.

Because it was cold in the evening, everyone turned to He Lao Niang's house to sit. Hu Wen never regarded himself as an outsider, and went to He Gong with He Lao Niang's house. He Lie said to his sister, "Sister, I think the third girl is the best, why didn't you choose the one that looks good?"

He Zijin said, "The first girl and the third girl have a good family background in the past. However, our family bought people to do work, so we naturally have to choose someone who can do it."

He Lie was deeply surprised, "Which family buys girls is not for work!" Some people buy maids not for work? His family has to do work from grandmother to mother to sister, let alone maids.

Hu Wen smiled and said to He Lie, "This is different. Some people like gentlemen, poets and books, and look good. Such maids don't have to do heavy work when they go there. They can do some work. In the future, they just serve tea and water."

"What kind of work is this? This is not a slave, it's obviously going to enjoy the happiness!" He Lie sighed and asked, "Brother Awen, can you have such a maid?"

"There are not many such maids. They say they are serving tea and water, but they have to serve their masters. They just don't have to do rough work. Those who do rough work are rough maids, and those who do the jobs around their masters are close-fitting maids, and they are naturally more delicate." While explaining, Hu Wen did not forget to confess to himself and laughed, "I don't have a maid around me, they are all servants. I don't like to make girls, and I feel pampered."

He Lie didn't understand why, and then said, "That's Brother Awen's maid, your family is so delicate, you feel pampered." His sister Cui'er is not pampered at all.

Hu Wen laughed, "Maybe that's the case."

Mrs. He and Mrs. Shen laughed. He Gong also felt deep in his heart that Hu Wen was not very successful in studying and his character was still very good.

The old ghost sighed to A Nian, "It's strange that Boy Hu can marry a good wife." Hu Wen is not old, but he is very good at understanding people's hearts and knows best what his mother-in-law likes to listen to.

A Nian said to the old ghost in his heart, "Brother Awen is indeed not a maid to serve him." He had noticed it when he went to Hu's house~ Although the third sister was not as good as Zi Jin's status in his heart, A Nian was also very concerned about the third sister's lifelong affairs~

Lao Guidao, "If you can be consistent, it will be a good marriage."

A Nian's head is very soft.

For a moment, Madam Yu brought the three Xi'er who had been packed up to salute. Old Madam He nodded, and said with great elegance, "From the future, the second and fifth Xi will serve the third girl, and the fourth Xi will be by Zijin's side. Everyone will go to see your girls."

The second and fifth and fourth joys were with the third girl. When He Zijin met, Madam Yu taught them to recognize He Gong and A Lie and Hu Wen. Shen laughed, "You are all maids, give them a name. Tomorrow I will take Xiao Fuzi to the yamen to handle the transfer."

Old Madam He felt that he was the mother of scholars, and also said, "The word "Happy" is a bit vulgar." As she said that, she was eager to try it out, so the third girl went with the flow to make Old Madam He happy and laughed, "Grandma is the most knowledgeable, so why not help us get it."

Mrs. He took the initiative, "But there are a few good names, which are very good." After coughing, Mrs. He bent his eyes and said, "I think it's better to call him Aijin, Aiyin, and Aijin. This name is good, it's good to make it--" Before Mrs. He said, He Zijin squirted the ground with tea and laughed, "That's better to call him Xier." As he said that, he choked a few times, and A Nian hurriedly massaged his sister Zijin's back. Shen and others couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. He was slightly angry and said to He Zijin, "Is there any better name in the world than this?" She said that she was going to name her daughter Aijin, but the dead old man who was short-lived ghost insisted that the name was not good, so he named her daughter He Jing, and he regretted that he had been calling her daughter He Zijin for many years. Later, Shen gave birth to He Zijin, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good at that time. Mrs. He was not willing to use Aijin's name. He originally wanted the girl to call Changsun, but his son said that he could not, so he forced the name Zijin. Now he sincerely named the maids of the two girls, and Mrs. He took out the good name that he had treasured for many years.

Unexpectedly, this unsavvy girl movie insisted on saying, "Anyway, the four joys are not called love money. It is obvious that I love money more. The four joys are called Sixi. How good is this name, the four joys in life, long droughts and rain, meet old friends in a foreign land, and the wedding night, and the golden list is on the title."

A Nian said, "It's not great if the maid is called Sixi." The wedding night, the title of the golden list is not about girls.

Mrs. He nodded, "I am still A Nian, and I am worthy of being a student."

He Zijin thought for a while, "Then call it meatballs, Sixi meatballs, a good dish."

Mrs. He said, "You can give this name to your maid. You will know that you are a greedy person as the master."

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

Although the third girl was happy to make her grandmother happy, she couldn't call her "Love Jin and Love Silver", so she took the opportunity to say, "Then the second and fifth, the second and fifth, the first ones are called "Bowan, Xiaomai". How simple."

"Okay, a bunch of food." Old Madam He couldn't feel anything simple. It wasn't a bunch of food. Why did she take the name of a bunch of food? She curled her lips and felt that her two girls were unaware of it.

Shen took the opportunity to speak and laughed, "When it comes to eating, Cui'er goes to ask the kitchen to add two good dishes and leave Awen for rice tonight."

Hu Wen laughed, "Grandma and aunt always love me like this. They want to come again after they ask me to come."

Mrs. He was depressed, "You can come here, no one in our house anyway, so you can eat enough. It depends on your sisters who have gained this good reputation, but they are still the ones who have studied and learned to write."

The three maids got new names, but Old Madam He was not adopted because of the good reputation he had collected, and she kept talking about the third girl He Zijin for half a day.
