[Red Chamber] Buddhist concubine

After Zhou Yao hurriedly picked up the child, she quickly adjusted her posture for holding the child.

Seeing this, Brother Zhou saw a gloomy look in his eyes: "You are pampered and pampered in the Lin family, why are you so proficient in holding the child?"

Zhou Yao didn't see the temptation in Brother Tuesday's words, she only thought that he was really curious, and replied seriously: "I want to get closer to the two children, so that they will not forget me soon after leaving the two children, so I usually hug the two sisters, Cangjin and Danyu. Not only that, I often play with them."

Brother Zhou was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Zhou Yao to answer like this.

But he didn't delve into it, but changed the topic: "Didn't Xiaoba just say that someone is looking for you outside? I'll go and see who it is. If the Lin family repents and chases after me, I can block it for a while."

Brother Tuesday still thinks it's strange that the second sister left the Lin family.

Zhou Yao originally wanted to see it in person, but after hearing what brother Zhou said, she quickly dispelled the idea: "Then I will trouble the second brother." Although I think it is impossible, just in case, let the second brother go and see good.

But regardless of whether it was the Lin family or not, once she came out, she had absolutely no plans to go back.

Brother Zhou's eyes flashed with distress, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhou Yao's forehead, then went straight out the door and went to the front yard.

Seeing that Zhou Yao was worried, brother Zhou came over to take Xiao Ba away, and persuaded in a low voice: "Second sister, don't worry, second brother is very powerful. If you don't want to go back to the Lin family, second brother must have a way to refuse."

Zhou Yao shook her head: "I'm not worried."

Jia Min and Lin Ruhai didn't seem to be the ones who backtracked, not to mention, even if they did backtrack, it's not like she didn't have the means to fight back.

The big deal is that when she was writing novels, she carried private goods to discredit the Lin family, forcing the Lin family to let go.

But now that the situation is unclear, it's better for her not to talk nonsense.

Not long after, Brother Zhou brought a maid to the backyard and entered Zhou Yao's room.

"Second Sister, this servant girl said that you served you when you were in the Lin family. Come and see if she is lying." Brother Zhou turned sideways, revealing the figure of the servant girl behind him.

Seeing the person coming, Zhou Yao immediately froze in place: "Qingliu? Why are you here?"

Brother Zhou nodded. It seems that this maid is not lying, she was indeed serving in the second sister's yard before.

After confirming Qingliu's identity, Brother Zhou simply left with his brothers and his son, leaving enough room for Zhou Yao and Qingliu to chat.

Because it involved her own novel career, it was really not easy to tell the Zhou family about it, so she didn't stop the Zhou family brothers from leaving.

After the people left, Zhou Yao asked Qingliu in a low voice: "What are you looking for me for?"

Qingliu looked embarrassed and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

Zhou Yao was taken aback, and immediately wanted to pull her up.Unexpectedly, Qingliu was as if stuck to the ground, unwilling to get up desperately.

Zhou Yao had no choice but to ask, "Qingliu, what are you doing?"

Qingliu lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Aunt Yao... Mrs. Zhou, after hearing that you left the Lin family, the servant took the private money saved over the years to redeem yourself, and went out to find sister Hongzong. home address, and immediately caught up."

Zhou Yao was confused: "No, what are you looking for me for?"

When she was in the Lin family, Zhou Yao rarely left the hospital, and spent most of her time with her two children and Nanny Guo.Although Qing Liu has always appeared in her novels to run errands, but in fact she is not familiar with Qing Liu.

But Qingliu said that when she heard that she had left the Lin family, she immediately took out the money she had saved over the years to redeem herself, and then came to her?

What the hell?

Qingliu lowered her head, and her voice sounded a little frightened: "Servant, servant still wants to continue serving the girl."

Zhou Yao: "...???"

It took her a long time to understand the meaning of Qingliu's words: "You mean that you still want to run errands between me and the teahouse? Why? Running errands is not a decent job. Is the Lin family comfortable?"

Although Zhou Yao was very appreciative of Qingliu's redemption, but she didn't understand that the reason for her redemption was to continue running errands for her.

Qingliu looked up at Zhou Yao, and found that she was not angry, so she explained: "The slave girl stays in the Lin family, and she can only be an inconspicuous sweeping maid. There is really nothing to look forward to. But during the period of running errands for the girl, The slaves are not only respected outside, but also get a lot of benefits."

She looked up at Zhou Yao again, and then said in a low voice, "Most half of the money that the servants redeemed themselves was earned by running errands for the girls."

Zhou Yao came to a sudden: "So it is like this."

If running errands for her can not only earn respect, but also earn more money than at the Lin family, it is not unreasonable for Qing Liu to be willing to redeem herself and leave the Lin family, and continue to join her.

But even so, Qingliu had the courage to leave as soon as he said it, and she gave her a high look.

Zhou Yao smiled, and asked again: "Are you sure you really want to stay by my side? You must think clearly, if you want to stay by my side, the free body you finally got, I'm afraid..."

Before Zhou Yao finished speaking, Qingliu couldn't wait to say: "Girl, I am willing!"

Zhou Yao was taken aback by Qingliu's eagerness, and immediately laughed: "You don't have to be so anxious, think about it yourself."

If Qingliu didn't come to Zhou's house today, Zhou Yao planned to ask Zhou's family to help her buy another little maid to continue running errands for her.Yes, buy one.

This world is too harsh on women, if someone finds out that she is writing a storybook, it will inevitably attract the attention of others, and even spread bad rumors.

She herself doesn't mind being spread rumors - she has heard too much in her previous life, she has long since dismissed it, and she doesn't care at all - but she is afraid that these rumors will affect the Zhou family.

The Lin family has a great career, and she has already left the Lin family, so no one else will drag her to the Lin family.But she still lives in Zhou's house now, so she has to think more.

Therefore, the candidate for running errands must either be someone I completely trust, or it must be someone I can completely control.

If Red Palm and Emerald Palm said this, Zhou Yao would naturally not let them sell themselves, because she believed in them.

But Qingliu...

Qingliu still nodded, and even handed her contract of selling herself to Zhou Yao: "Girl, this servant is willing to sell herself."

Zhou Yao opened her mouth, and after all, she still accepted Qingliu's deed of prostitution: "You should get up first."

Qingliu nodded, and then got up.

Zhou Yao sighed: "Since you want to run errands for me, after dinner, you can go to the dental shop and ask me if there is any suitable house. Remember to choose one that is closer to Lin's house."

Qingliu was a little puzzled at first, then suddenly realized and nodded: "This room is indeed a bit small. Before finding a suitable house, I can only wrong the girl first."

Zhou Yao shook her head: "Why are you wronged or not? It's just that it's not suitable for me to live at home, and it's easy to cause conflicts. And it's closer to Lin's house, so it's convenient to go back to Lin's house to visit Cangjin Danyu in the future."

She paused, then said, "If possible, let's see if there is a larger house, preferably one that can accommodate dozens of people without being too crowded. If the two houses can be closer, then Better."

The house of the Zhou family is actually very good. If it is placed in modern times, many people would envy it.However, there are more than [-] members of the Zhou family living in it, so it seems a bit crowded.

It just happened that the reward she got from the Lin family (she didn’t take away the two daughters, put them in a box, and kept them when the two children grew up. She also specially made a lock that needs three keys to open, The keys are placed on the three of Nanny Guo), and the royalties from writing novels in the past year have already saved a lot, which should be more than enough to buy two houses.

Qingliu was a little embarrassed: "Girl, it's no problem if you want to buy a house, but if you want to buy a house near the Lin family..."

"Huh? Is there any problem?" Zhou Yao wondered.

Qingliu lowered her head: "Girl, the people living in the area where the Lin Mansion is located are either court officials or noble clansmen. Ordinary people can't buy houses nearby even if they have money."

Zhou Yao suddenly understood: "I just said why Madam Guo said that I bought the Lin family's house with money, but others still spread gossip. It turned out to be the reason."

At first, she thought it was because the distance was too close, and it was easy to be found by people who knew her, and then she spread gossip, but she didn't expect the real reason was that the house in that area was priceless, and she didn't have enough status, even if she had money, she couldn't buy it at all. arrive!

Zhou Yao was a little helpless, but also a little lucky.

Fortunately, after she heard Guo Nanny's words, she immediately asked her to go to Jia Min to refuse, otherwise she would move in rashly, and it would be troublesome in the future.

But who made the proposal to give her a house?

Jia Min is happy to see her leave, and he doesn't seem like someone who would use this method to dig a hole for her; neither does Lin Hai, he is a gentleman. He will feel dissatisfied because of possessiveness, but he will never trip her up...

Could it be the old lady?

Zhou Yao thought of the old nanny who stood next to Lin Hai that day with a strange attitude, and she had some understanding in her heart——

This should be the test given to her by the old lady. If she passes, the old lady may let her go; After leaving, the Lin family will not allow her to go back to visit...

Zhou Yao belatedly, a few drops of cold sweat broke out.

Fortunately, Nanny Guo reminded me.

Zhou Yao swallowed her saliva, and then said, "You don't have to find a house in the area of ​​the Lin family, as long as it's close."

Qingliu nodded: "The servant girl will go later."

"Where are you going?" Zhou's mother came over and called Zhou Yao to eat, and looked at her daughter curiously, "You just came back, where do you want to go?"
