I always listen to my dad because I am the eldest in the family.

My mother-in-law has been gone for a long time. If I disobey, my brothers and sisters will be beaten.

So, I worked hard every day.

At least the family can maintain a basic livelihood.

If there is no natural disaster.

The year I entered the city, there was a huge flood.

The crops were all drowned.

Many people have people who have died of hunger or illness at home.

In order to survive, my father almost sold my brother.

Therefore, I told him that if he sells my brother, it is better to sell me.

Because I know that the richest Xu family in the city is looking for a maid.

Everyone knows that his dogs only eat white flour steamed buns, so becoming a maid in his house is actually the best way out.

In terms of price, it won’t be low either.

When my father heard what I said, he immediately asked Mrs. Cen to inquire.

I still remember that Mrs. Cen came back from outside in the second half of the day, her face glowing red.

She was sitting on the kang in my house with her feet crossed, looking arrogant.

“I just said, if I take action, it must be well-covered.

Let me tell you, the life of your lotus is really good.

This is such a great blessing! "

As she said this, she opened a cloth bag and handed it to my father.

My father opened it and found that there was the suit of clothes I was wearing and a heavy piece of silver.

I have never seen this thing before, and my father has never even touched it.

He held up the silver, waved it in front of his eyes, and stuffed it into the sole of his shoe in panic.

Mrs. Cen had probably never seen such an ignorant person as my father, so she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

“You don’t know that this lotus flower is blessed.

Didn’t I agree to your request and help Hehua go to Xu’s house?

Unexpectedly, as soon as I started talking, the manager of the Xu family, named Xu Zhong, immediately interrupted me and asked, is that lotus the beautiful lotus from Longtou Village?

I said, oh, Uncle Xu, you have also heard of the name of our lotus, but you don’t know that it is our famous beauty from all over the country!

This is not because of the disaster, and I want to come out to find a way out, otherwise, I haven't even come out of the village!

Then Xu Zhong said, you don't know, if she comes, now is really the right time! "

After Mrs. Cen said this, she drank a bowl of water. She licked the corners of her mouth, looked at my face sideways, and said, "Guess what good thing it is?"

My dad couldn’t figure it out, but he responded, “It’s just that they are short of people!”

"Wrong guess!" Mrs. Cen lit her pipe and took a puff, then continued, "The young master of the Cen family, the one who has been studying abroad, is back.

It is said that he originally wanted to go out, but the old lady of the Xu family did not agree, so she was kept at home.

The old lady has spoken. When she comes back this time, she will not be allowed to go out without leaving a man and a half woman.

This young master of the Xu family is already twenty-five or six this year!

He looks good and tall, and he can speak the chirping bird language.

I've seen it before, a show of talent!

No, in the past few days, the Xu family has been looking everywhere for this young lady!

The old lady of the Xu family said that a family like theirs lacks everything, so there is no need to be well-matched.

It's just a concubine anyway, as long as she looks pretty.

No, I heard about your lotus and I immediately gave you a deposit.

You see, this is five taels of silver.

This is considered travel expenses and does not need to be refunded even if you are not chosen. "

I was a little scared at the time. Originally, I just agreed to go to work, but somehow it became the choice of a concubine.

However, if I encounter such a situation and such a family, what can I do if I don’t go?

so. I went anyway.

This was my first time wearing a skirt, and it was such a cute color. It made me feel uncomfortable in such a public place.

"Don't move, what's going on!" Mrs. Cen's voice was a bit harsh, so I immediately stopped moving and sighed helplessly.

"Lotus, don't blame me for nagging. Do you remember everything I told you before?" Mrs. Cen touched my arm. I was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said "Yeah".

"remember."

"That's good! Then what kind of prominent family the Xu family is, you will know just by looking at the May [-]th Buhang passing by along the way!

These are all his family's properties!

Anyway, I never thought that such a family would choose you!

You don’t know, this is something that many people can’t get even if they struggle to get it!

It is truly a blessing that you have cultivated in your previous life.

Look at the clothes you are wearing and the gifts at home!

Although it may be difficult for you to go home again after you come here, your father and younger brothers and sisters will be well-off and well-off from now on. "

"Yes, I am still very grateful to Mrs. Cen for this matter." I responded in a low voice. Every word of Mrs. Cen was like a needle pricking my heart.

But she was right. Only by agreeing to this marriage could the family improve and my father and siblings not starve to death.

My father didn’t speak the whole time. He just lowered his head and seemed to have completely integrated into the role of driver. He didn’t even look back at me.

"Is it Miss Lotus?"

The bullock cart stopped at the entrance of a small alley, and the man in a gray coat waved to them.

Mrs. Cen immediately put on a bright smile and jumped out of the oxcart, "Oh, isn't this Housekeeper Xu!

If you have trouble, you have to make a trip! "

Butler Xu nodded to me, but his voice was very arrogant, "This is a good job. We haven't had such a happy event in the Xu Family Courtyard for a long time, so naturally I wanted to come here."

He walked to Hehua and looked at it carefully, but suddenly frowned, "Why are you wearing this outfit? Didn't you say you want to wear lotus color?

Our old lady likes it. "

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Cen quickly opened a cloth bag and said, "No, I'm afraid that this body will get dirty after a long journey, so I'm carrying it with me."

Butler Chen nodded with satisfaction and motioned to the boy next to him to take the cloth bun. Then he walked to me and stretched out his hand, "Miss Hehua, please get in the sedan. The ox cart cannot go the rest of the way."

I nodded, but I couldn't help but feel a little afraid of Butler Xu. My heart was still pounding until I sat down in the sedan.

"Mother Cen, this is your reward, you can go back."

I knew that the departure of Mrs. Cen and my father would cut off all ties between me and the past, and I couldn’t help but shed tears.

However, I didn't have the courage to say a word to him, even if it was to say goodbye.

Faint in sedan chair.

I didn't expect that I would vomit at the back door of the Xu family compound.

People were coming and going there, and the noise was mixed with tiny voices of ridicule, which made my cheeks turn red to the roots of my ears.
