The Imperial Concubine Chef - C81

The servant didn’t pay much attention when he was beating up the young beggar girl. However, after listening to the words of the boy in front of him, he also noticed it. “Although he was still angry, he stopped himself.” I didn’t know she was a woman. But even if it’s a woman, it’s not right to steal something! ”

Su Xinyu sighed: “If there’s a way, who would be willing to steal a piece of cake. I hope this uncle can let her off this time. ”

The servant saw that although Su Xinyu’s clothes were not luxurious, they were clean and proper. Furthermore, her speech was smooth like a book reader. “Thus, he did not want to reveal anything anymore.” Then I’ll give you face. Let me tell you, hurry up and go! Stop stealing from our backyard! “If not, I will send you to the government officials next time!” She hurried into the courtyard and immediately bolted the door behind him.

Su Xinyu walked over, pretended to take out a steamed bun from her bosom, and then gave her a few copper coins. You must be hungry. Don’t eat that cake if it’s dirty. Take this steamed bun. You should keep these copper coins to buy food. ”

The little beggar did not dare to raise his hand, as he looked at Su Xinyu with her big round eyes. Really, give it to me? ”

Su Xinyu nodded. “That’s right. Take it. I’m not a bad person. Take it. ”

“The little beggar blinked, and in the end, he did not take the item but kneeled on the ground instead.” Young master! Young master, please take me in! I can make a horse for you, but I beg you, young master, to give me a bite to eat! ”

Su Xinyu was shocked. Although she felt pity for this little girl, she had never thought of taking someone in. Not to mention that she and her mother could also be considered to be on the run, even her own space could not be known to outsiders. “I’m not rich, it’s no use even if you follow me.”

The little beggar quickly kowtowed, “I don’t need to eat too much! One mouthful! I can’t get caught, I can’t get caught, if I get caught, I’ll be sold to a kiln! I’d rather ask for a meal than do that! ”

Su Xinyu immediately frowned. It seemed like this little girl wasn’t really a beggar. At this time, Su Wenlan walked over. Xinyu, this girl is too pitiful. At least get her out of here first. ”

Su Xinyu could only nod, “Okay. Then let’s go back and stand. ”

When she returned to the inn, the shop assistant noticed the mother and son brought back a beggar, and her expression changed slightly. Su Xinyu shot him an extra glance and took out ten gold coins to give to the shop assistant. ” This is for you. It’s still the same room we used to stay in before. Prepare some hot water to bathe her in. Look at what? Hurry up and go! ”

The shop assistant took ten coins, how could he not listen? Hurry up and prepare the hot water. The shopkeeper was also confused as to why the mother and son had brought such a beggar back. However, he thought about how rich people would be happy about it. He was just a store owner. What did it have to do with him? He quickly opened the door and let the three in.

Su Wenlan took out a clean set of clothes from her backpack. “Miss, what’s your name?”

The little beggar replied: “My name is Hu Ya.”

“Su Xinyu looked at the little tiger tooth that the little girl revealed when she said that, her name was not wrong. What’s your last name? Where did they come from? How did you end up begging? ”

Hu Ya replied, “I don’t have a surname, I grew up with uncle and aunt. They said I was a bastard born of my mother and a wild man. That’s why I’ve never been treated like this since I was a kid. For a while they sold me to Teeth. The man is going to sell me to a brothel. I ran away in fear. Since I didn’t have anything to eat, I could only pick it up. I was really hungry today. I only picked up when I saw that the back door of that house was open and half a biscuit dropped on the floor. I didn’t steal it, I really didn’t! ”

“When Su Wenlan heard this, tears almost fell from her eyes. Poor little girl. Why was her life so bitter? Xinyu… ”

How could Su Xinyu not understand her mother’s meaning? Hu Ya, you saw it too. Right now, my mother and I are both relying on each other for survival, and we don’t even have a place to stay. It’s not that we don’t want to save you, it’s just that we can’t even protect ourselves. ”

“Hearing that, Hu Ya knelt down towards Su Xinyu again. Young master! Young master, I beg of you, please don’t chase me away! Please save me! ”

Actually, Su Xinyu was very unhappy. She had done a good deed, but now she was being pestered. No one would be in a good mood if they were in her place. There was no rule that anyone had to save someone until the end, right? However, she really couldn’t bear to let this little girl be so decisive. When she saw her mother’s expression, she could only sigh. “Who told him to have such a soft-hearted mother.” Do you have a indenture contract in the hands of others? ”

Hu Ya nodded: “I do. They made me press my hand. ”

Su Xinyu sighed. How much do they want to sell you for? ”

Hu Ya answered: “I’m listening, it’s about five liang. They say I’m ugly and my bones are too thick to sell for a high price. A human tooth is trying to lift a bit more, but I gave it to the bawd at that time. I ran away at night. ”

He was quite smart. If it was only five taels, it was worth it. If it was a hundred and eighty liang, she could only hide the black market entrance. “It must be known that the contract under hand seal has its own legal force.” Well, you don’t have to wash now. I’ll take you to the Teeth, and then I’ll buy you. We’ll discuss your decision to stay later. ”

Su Wenlan stood up first: “I’ll go.”

Su Xinyu shook her head. It’s not a place you can go. I’ll go to Manager Liu and ask him to help. Don’t worry. I’ll be back by evening. ”

Hu Ya followed behind Su Xinyu, trembling with fear. But she believed that the Young Master who had saved her was her master, and he definitely wouldn’t sell her out.

Shopkeeper Liu was surprised that the Young Master had returned, followed by a beggar. After hearing what Su Xinyu had to say, he smiled. Young master, you are too kind. Forget it. I’ll help you with that. If you had another person by your side to take care of me, my master would be able to relax a little. Actually, it would be better to buy two more people from another person. So you and your wife can have some help, too. ”

Su Xinyu immediately waved her hand, “Don’t. We both took care of ourselves before, and I haven’t even made money yet. We’ll talk about it when we need people in the future. I was also at a loss for what to do with this child. ”

How could Manager Liu not know that helping others sometimes was a problem? However, looking at the young beggar’s bright eyes, based on his many years of experience looking at people, he felt that this young beggar was not bad.

With his help, the matter regarding the human tooth pendant was resolved smoothly. Although that person still wanted two more and asked for twenty taels, Shopkeeper Liu had connections here. A few words from him had already shocked that person’s teeth. After taking five taels of silver, he immediately gave the indenture contract to Su Xinyu.

Once again bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Liu, Su Xinyu led Hu Ya back to the inn. She asked the waiter to bring hot water in. This time, Hu Ya also had a smile on her face.

Su Xinyu passed the indenture contract to Hu Ya. Hu Ya, this is your indenture contract. You can take it and leave. From then on, you will decide for yourself. No one will be able to buy or sell you again. ”

Hu Ya was stunned, then she kneeled down again. was blocked by Su Xinyu. You don’t have to keep kneeling and kowtowing. I told you. My mother and I are on our way, and we are fleeing for our lives. Even taking care of yourself is a problem. If we were to add you, I’m afraid it would be difficult to take care of you. ”

Hu Ya cried. Young master. I really didn’t eat much. I can work. Laundry, cook, feed the pigs and ducks, anything, and I can chop firewood and hunt. If you keep me here, I will definitely not bring you and Madam any trouble! ”

“?” “He can chop firewood and hunt?” “You used to chop firewood and hunt?”

Hu Ya nodded: “Mn. I have nothing to eat if I don’t work all day. The old hunter in the village looked at me with pity. When I was four years old, he taught me how to use throwing daggers. ”

Even Su Wenlan could not bear to listen to this anymore. Xinyu might as well keep her. A little girl like her was dangerous everywhere she went. There’s something to look out for when you’re with the two of us. Furthermore, you don’t have anyone by your side. With her here, you wouldn’t have to only treat me like this every day. ”

Su Xinyu was already speechless. However, since her mother had asked, she could only nod her head. In any case, she wouldn’t be able to rely on space every day in the future. In the future, when they had a place to stay, they would not live in the same house. As long as this girl seemed to have a good personality in the future, she didn’t mind sending someone to help her. “If not, when I go out to do business in the future, I might not be able to rest at home even if my mother is by my side.” All right. Now go take a bath. I’ll get something to eat. ”

After Hu Ya finished her shower and changed her clothes. Su Xinyu just noticed that there was a long scar at the side of the girl’s temples. The scar was light brown, obviously indicating that she had been untreated and infected before, which was why such an ugly scar was left behind. It was no wonder that the brothel bawd would only say five taels of silver at most. However, a girl with a broken appearance was indeed discriminated against by others in this world.

Seeing that Young Master was looking at him, Hu Ya hurriedly covered her temples. Too ugly. Young Master, stop looking. ”

The corner of Su Xinyu’s mouth twitched, “What’s so ugly about it? It was just a scar. I’m half a teacher myself. “When I have a place to stay in in the future, I’ll just prepare some medicine for you to use.” Hu Ya was actually quite cute. The round eyes, the high nose, the round lips, and the standard oval face. Even though her skin was thin, and her hair was yellow and forked. However, it was better to not be too confident. However, she could see that the skeleton was very large. A tall girl in the future.

“Hu Ya was overjoyed to hear his young master’s words. Is this okay? Thank you, young master! “Thank you, Young Master!”

Su Xinyu rubbed her ears: “Enough. From now on, you will be dressed as a man, just like me. From now on, I will call you Hu Zi. ”

Hu Ya reacted for a moment before calling out. You are not the young master, but the young miss? ”

“…” Su Xinyu nodded, “Mn. Since you volunteered to stay by my side. I have your indenture contract in my possession. You have to keep these secrets. And if something happens to my mother and me, you’ll die. Do you understand? ”

Hu Ya quickly nodded, “Hu Zi understands! The young master was the young master, and the Hu Zi was also a boy! It’s Young Master’s attendant! ”

Su Xinyu was speechless. This reaction was really fast. “It seems like she was trained under someone else’s roof since she was a kid.” Fine. Hurry up and eat. She rested early after eating. Tomorrow morning will be good for our journey. “
