Hearing what Yu Wenyue said, the Sanfang elder hurriedly expressed opposition, and young people should not spend their days in adultery, because they would hurt their bodies. Yu Wenyue faintly replied, the elders had good intentions, he was not good at rejecting, it is better to gather all the maidservants together for a selection, and he would accept the winner.
Although the old man was dissatisfied, he couldn’t refute it. He only said that the Hongshanyuan was near the water tower and that more maidservants should be selected to participate in the selection. After Yu Wenyue answered, he took the people away.
The news of Yu Wenyue’s selection of a maidservant spread quickly. Listening to Xiao Qi Xiao Ba’s comments, Chu Qiao sprouted a new shoot of survival in his heart. She suddenly realized that only by leaving Yuwenhuai’s minions, can she protect the lives of her sisters and avenge her brothers and sisters. I am like the weak grass in the corner, and only with the power of the strong can I fight against the stubborn stone!
Chu Qiao made up her mind to participate in the selection, and despite the strange eyes of others, she bravely walked into Qingshanyuan. It’s a pity that she is just a servant girl with an iron bell, and she is not qualified to participate in the selection. But Chu Qiao knew that she had no retreat, and she must participate in this selection. She stayed persistently, kneeling in the yard stubbornly and refused to get up.
When Yu Wenyue heard that she was overwhelming, she let her kneel and ignored her. Outside the house, Chu Qiao was roasting under the scorching sun, but still persisted. Time passed by, and the moon was in the middle of the sky outside. Chu Qiao was still kneeling in the yard, and Yu Wenyue silently looked at the stubborn Chu Qiao in the dark, her face thoughtful.
The guard wanted to persuade Chu Qiao to go back, but seeing that Chu Qiao had no intention of retreating, he wanted to take her away. Yu Wenyue came out to stop the guards. He looked at Chu Qiao who was kneeling on the ground and asked her why she came to participate in the selection. Chu Qiao looked at him firmly and said that she wanted to live. Yu Wenyue didn’t believe Chu Qiao’s intention. He continued to ask Chu Qiao that he killed her elder brother with his own hands, but she came and begged to accept her as a maidservant, where is her dignity. Chu Qiao was expressionless, but his eyes were still firm.
Yu Wenyue glanced at Chu Qiao, and asked if she knew that the maidservant was going to serve between the master’s bed. Chu Qiao squeezed her hand tightly, kowped her head humblely, and asked the son to leave the servant. Yu Wenyue seemed to ponder for a while, and then ordered the guard to allow Chu Qiao to participate in the selection.
On the other side, Young Master Yuwenhuai was having a drink alone in the room, but Zhu Shun, the steward, came into the room to report. Just as soon as he got the news, Yuwenyue especially asked Enchuqiao to run for the election. Mr. Yuwenhuai raised his wine glass and frowned and said: “Kill her to avoid extra branches.” Zhu Shun reported again: “One more thing, the cook reported to his subordinates that Song Auntie was missing that night, and the three Jing family sisters were by the lake in Song Dynasty.
The aunt got into a dispute and heard the sound of falling into the water.” Young Master Yuwenhuai was furious after hearing this, and asked: “Why didn’t this matter be reported in time, do you have other plans!” Zhu Shun was frightened and rushed to rush after hearing this. He fell to the ground until he suggested to Yu Wenhuai that Chu Qiao’an should be inserted beside Yu Wenyue as a chess piece, Yu Wenhuai only expressed relief and temporarily let go of Zhu Shun.
At the beginning of the selection, many maidservants gather together, and it is inevitable that right and wrong will be born. Chu Qiao was able to run for the election because of his special kindness, which naturally caused other people’s dissatisfaction with him. Jinzhu, the big silver bell maid, couldn’t understand Chu Qiao’s private release of the parrot raised by her son. She wanted to secretly trash Chu Qiao’s clothes, but she didn’t want to, but Chu Qiao backhanded her clothes and lost her demeanor. Yu Wenyue saw all this in her eyes, and saw that Chu Qiao was agile, but she was a martial artist.
Choose to start. There are a total of three competitions, namely cooking tea, pen and ink and Puqi. If someone loses two games in a row, they will be eliminated immediately. Those who are not eliminated will participate in the last additional test, and the final winner will be the winner.
The first game was Pu Qi, and Chu Qiao didn’t quite understand, so he lost a game very dismal. The second game was cooking tea, which was still not Chu Qiao’s strong suit, but she knew she could not lose again. Chu Qiao watched carefully how the maidservants around were making tea, and suddenly thought about it. She ran to the well and drew fresh water from the well. She picked a leaf and made a cup of sweet tea following the other handmaid’s methods.
Chu Qiao won the second game. In the third game, the Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures were memorized silently, one stick of incense time was used to record, and another stick of incense time was used to write silently. Although Chu Qiao could not hold a pen, let alone write, she relied on Superman’s memory to silently write down the Buddhist scriptures verbatim.
But Chu Qiao was accused by Yu Wenyue because he didn’t have a signature. Chu Qiao said, there is no requirement to sign in the rules, and he just followed the rules, and there is nothing wrong with it. Yu Wenyue requested that as long as Chu Qiao could sign her name on the scripture, she would win the round. This is not troublesome for Chu Qiao. She took the copper bell from her hair, dipped it in ink, and printed it firmly. Yu Wenyue stopped talking, but after turning around, he raised an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.
After winning the election, Chu Qiao was brought to see Yu Wenyue, and Yu Wenyue asked her again why she came to be her maidservant. Chu Qiao knelt down and replied, he wanted to live. Yu Wenyue didn’t believe that Chu Qiao would forget the hatred that she personally killed her brother, but Chu Qiao said that she had promised her sister to take good care of her two younger sisters.
Yu Wenyue stopped questioning, but pointed to the knife in front of him and motioned to Chu Qiao to shave herself. Chu Qiao looked at the knife in front of him, then at Yu Wenyue who seemed unsuspecting, and slowly picked up the hilt of the knife. The knife approached Yu Wenyue’s throat inch by inch, and Chu Qiao remembered in his mind that the man in front of him had killed his brother. Her hands trembled, but she still controlled the knife gently, and slowly shaved Yu Wenyue’s beard.
Yu Wenyue’s cold voice rang in Chu Qiao’s ears, why didn’t you do it? Chu Qiao quickly put down the knife and bowed to the ground. Yu Wenyue took Chu Qiao to the window, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba were playing flowers and plants in the yard. He told Chu Qiao that only when you grasp the weakness of others, can you hand the knife to others.
The picky Yu Wenyue tunes Chu Qiao who doesn’t know anything, and gives her a star. Chu Qiao fell into a deep sleep under the influence of the incense, but Yu Wenyue looked at her sleeping face and fell into deep thought.
Chu Qiao who fell asleep didn’t know that in the slave house in the same yard, there were many people who had insomnia because of her election as a maidservant. Among them, there was no shortage of sister Xiao Ba who she tried to protect.
Yu Wenyue, who has not slept in the middle of the night, is reading the secret letter written by her grandfather in the secret room at this time: This woman has animality, use it, prevent it, discard it…
