I want to see what it’s like outside the small mountain village.
I also want to get closer to that mountain peak and want to know what the legendary immortal looks like.
Perhaps her obedience and not crying made Mrs. Chen satisfied.
Mrs. Chen’s attitude towards her was not as rough as before.
"Don't worry, as long as you are obedient and serve the nobles well, you won't have to worry about having enough food and clothing."
Unexpectedly, Xu Qiuqian just finished speaking. Cried.
Mrs. Chen suddenly frowned and her face darkened.
I thought you were a sensible person, but I didn’t expect...
“Thank you, Mrs. Chen, you are so kind to me!” Xu Qiuqian looked extremely touched. appearance.
Mrs. Chen only wondered if Xu Qiuqian was stupid, looking so touched after being betrayed.
But this is better than crying, so she followed Xu Qiuqian's words and said: "Thank you, silly kid, you are lucky to be freed from that family."
Xu Qiuqian quickly nodded in agreement.
No matter what they think in their hearts, Chen Po and Xu Qiuqian are at least polite on the surface, and as they go along, Xu Qiuqian’s admiration for Chen Po becomes more and more intense. strong.
When she was finally sent to the Red Mansion, Mrs. Chen was even a little reluctant to part with it.
But compared to the money, that reluctance was forgotten.
"Po Chen, I will definitely miss you. When I earn money in the future, I will support you in your old age so that you don't have to do all this work alone."
< br /> Mrs. Chen seemed even more reluctant to part with it.
But in the end, she sold Xu Qiuqian to the Red Mansion.
The Red Mansion is a romantic place, specially used to serve those nobles, and the nobles here refer to the people who work as servants of the immortals who live on the high and towering mountain.
Although these people serve the immortals, in the eyes of mortals like them, they are also existences that are out of reach.
Seeing Xu Qiuqian's reluctant look, the Madam of the Red Mansion sneered: "Don't be a fool, you have been sold and abandoned and you are still so reluctant to leave."
Xu Qiuqian remained silent and didn't speak. She lowered her eyes and looked a little sad.
In fact, her heart is naturally not what she appears on the outside.
Along the way, she learned a lot about the world from Granny Chen. She used to be locked up in that small mountain village and didn’t understand anything. She learned this through being well-behaved and sensible.It was a great deal for her.
This world is divided into five states.
The Five Continents have been in constant war and the people are struggling to survive. The Five Continents are managed by the state leaders of each state, and the state leaders follow the instructions of the immortals on the mountain peak, so the real person in charge is the immortal on that mountain peak.
The red building where Xu Qiuqian is staying is located in Tianyuan Prefecture, which is also the prefecture closest to the mountain peak.
So everything here is better than other states.
This is also because Xu Qiuqian was obedient and obedient along the way, so Mrs. Chen decided to sell her here. If she cried, she might be sold to other states.
Other states are not as good as Tianyuan Prefecture.
Xu Qiuqian settled in the Red Mansion. She was thin and dark, and her little advantage in appearance was completely lost in Tianyuan Prefecture.
In this world, everyone likes people with fair skin and fairy aura.
Because all the immortals on that mountain peak are like this.
Therefore, Xu Qiuqian directly became Xiaoqiu, the maid of Lilac Girl in the Red Mansion.
Miss Dingxiang is a person with a cold personality. Although she does not have a good look towards Xu Qiuqian, she does not beat or scold her maid frequently like other girls.
Xu Qiuqian learned a lot from her.
How to deal with people, or how to read, or some basic knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, of course, these were not taught to her by Miss Dingxiang, but she learned them secretly on her own.
Three months after arriving at the Red Mansion, Mrs. Chen appeared again.
"What? You want to ransom her?"
The madam looked incredulous.
“Do you know that sale and redemption are two different amounts.”
Mrs. Chen nodded firmly.
“I know.”
She has been doing it for so many years and has sent so many girls to red houses in various places, so she naturally knows this.
"Then you still..."
The old madam and Mrs. Chen are still familiar with each other. Looking at Xu Qiuqian, who is still a little thin and dark, she doesn't understand such a thin person. How could this girl let Po Chen spend half of her life savings to redeem her because of this?
“I don’t see anything special.” The madam muttered.
But Xu Qiuqian was not a girl, just a maid, so the madam didn’t keep her and let her go readily.
In fact, not only Xu Qiuqian was surprised, but even Mrs. Chen herself was surprised.I can't figure it out either.
It’s not like she hasn’t met someone who is well-behaved and sweet-tongued before, but she just thought it was easier and didn’t really take those girls seriously. Why did she follow the devil this time? .
Especially after leaving.
At the beginning, she kept hinting to herself, but during the past three months of work, as time went by, she felt more regret in her heart.
She couldn’t explain exactly why.
I just felt that she could never let go of this girl named Xiaoqiu.
Even though the other party didn’t ask her not to sell her, she felt a strong sense of reluctance.
Mrs. Chen understood this inexplicable emotion as maybe Xiaoqiu was somewhat similar to her dead granddaughter, so she cared so much.
So three months after selling Xu Qiuqian, Mrs. Chen redeemed Xu Qiuqian back.
The moment the redemption was completed, Mrs. Chen still felt a little regretful, but when she saw Xu Qiuqian taking out a handful of copper coins she had saved in the past three months from her sleeve, the regret in her heart disappeared. .
After having Xu Qiuqian, Mrs. Chen no longer lives in a fixed place as before.
She originally wanted to go to another state.
Although I still have enough money, if I live in Tianyuan Prefecture, it will be spent soon.
But Xu Qiuqian didn’t want to leave.
She often looked at the tall mountain peak hidden in the clouds and mist, and Mrs. Chen was not surprised. After all, there was no one in the world who did not yearn for that place.
On the day when Po Chen decided to leave Tianyuan Prefecture, Xu Qiuqian expressed her demands in front of Po Chen for the first time.
"I want to stay here, Granny Chen."
Only here is closer to the mountain peak. The closer it is, the more she can feel the mountain peak. There was something on the mountain peak, especially the top, that was pulling her closer.
“I will work hard to make money and earn a lot of money, please let me stay here.”
Mrs. Chen treats her well, so her attitude is also good.
Of course, if Mrs. Chen doesn’t agree, she will still stay.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen had a headache.
“Did you hear something, that’s why you stayed?”
“Did you hear something?”
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen knew that Xu Qiuqian didn't hear anything.
But this is the first time in a long time that Xu Qiuqian expresses her feelings and what she wants.
After getting along for such a long time, Mrs. Chen has long regarded Xu Qiuqian as her real granddaughter.
Seeing how determined she was to stay here, Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment and gritted her teeth: "Not long after, Fairy Mountain will recruit some servants to serve."
