Chapter 142, Suddenly there is an extra son (2 more)

Hu Jiancheng was really surprised.

Both he and his father and mother thought that their family had completely lost the trust of their wife, and they were uneasy about it.

"Madam, the slave is willing."

"Don't call yourself a slave in the future. I appreciate talented and capable people. You can read, calculate, and do accounts. I'll find a few people here, and you can help me teach them."

"Yes."

Han Qiao looked for a few people, not casually, but someone hired a matchmaker, and asked the matchmaker to bring a few boys in their teens, the kind who looked clever.

The kind who was sold since childhood and didn't know where his parents and family were.

She wants to train her own accountant and shopkeeper.

The matchmaker came to Heng's mansion again, more aggressive and respectful than before.

Firstly, Heng's family is really rich, and secondly, Hengyi works in the yamen.

"Please sit down."

"You're welcome, madam."

The matchmaker brought fifteen boys between the ages of eight and eleven. All of them were thin, but they seemed to be in good spirits.

There are also two courageous ones who secretly looked at Han Qiao. After being discovered by Han Qiao, they immediately lowered their heads, and quickly raised them again. .

Han Qiao was also a little surprised.

Most of the children these days are timid because of their narrow experience and vision, not to mention the children who have been sold.

But these two dared to look up at her.

Han Qiao approached the matchmaker and asked, "What's the history of those two children?"

The matchmaker looked in the direction Han Qiao pointed.

His face froze for a moment and he said, "I was a beggar from the state capital earlier. He was very tactful and courageous. He escaped several times and was caught and beaten. He refused to mend his ways despite repeated admonitions. Did my wife like it?"

Han Qiao shook her head.

Accident of the matchmaker.

The two children were surprised to see Han Qiao shaking her head.

Han Qiao chose eight children, but did not choose those two. Seeing them anxious, she held back her words.

Looking at Han Qiao's eyes, there is some puzzlement and unwillingness.

The children who were selected here stayed directly, and there was no valuables or things that could be taken away at the dental store. Han Qiao just gave up the old clothes.

I asked before, no father, no mother, no worries.

The child who was taken down was next door, and the person at the clothing store was measuring the size, and the voice of reporting the size was loud.

"It's better for you to take a bath, the soy milk has been cooked, and you can drink a bowl of sweet and hot soy milk when you get out of the bath."

Let the children who have not been bought clearly know that those lucky children will soon have new clothes and a hot bath.

sweet

They have forgotten how long it has been since they had sugar.

Not to mention taking a hot bath and wearing clean clothes.

Their eyes were gradually stained with loss and sadness.

I don't know when I will have a place to stay.

A gust of cold wind blew over, and they shrank from the cold.

Han Qiao glanced at it, feeling unbearable.

Actually, it was the few remaining children that she really took a fancy to.

But she also wanted to toughen up their minds, and let them know that today, if they want to stay, they have to pay a certain amount.

"It seems to be getting colder today." Han Qiao said softly.

Several children in the yard turned their heads to look at the next door.

They may be thinking, if one of those people next door is themselves?

The matchmaker stood up and said goodbye.

Han Qiao got up to see her off.

Several of the children left behind froze for a moment.

Someone stood up, "Ma'am."

"Huh?" Han Qiao said softly.

"You can buy me, I eat very little, and I still have great strength."

"That's not an advantage." Han Qiao chuckled.

advantage?

The boy thought about it seriously, "I have good hearing, I can jump over walls quickly, and I can run fast."

"This is indeed an advantage, but what good is it for me if I keep you?"

"Today my wife rewarded me with a bite of food. In the future, I will go through fire and water as my wife, going up the knife mountain and down the oil pan."

Han Qiao laughed out loud, "It doesn't have to be like this."

The matchmaker also laughed, "You little bastard, you have a sharp tongue, my wife is kind, I'll keep you guys here, I just hope you will remember your wife's great kindness today, and don't be that heartless white-eyed wolf in the future."

The children froze.

They looked at Han Qiao in surprise.

Han Qiao covered her mouth and chuckled, "Hurry up, the tailor is still waiting for the measurement."

The child who said that he wanted to repay Han Qiao and work hard for her had tears in his eyes, knelt down and kowtowed to Han Qiao, then got up and ran away.

The other children followed suit, kowtowed quickly, and then ran away.

Han Qiao laughed.

The matchmaker said, "That child is a hard stubble, and he has a lot of thoughts. My wife has to teach him well, so that he can be obedient and sensible, and he can be of great use in the future."

Han Qiao looked at the children running away.

"They are all good boys, and I don't want them to repay me, as long as I remember the kindness of today and today in the future, and don't repay kindness with revenge."

Of course, I won't tell the matchmaker more about Han Qiao.

"Do you have a teenage girl over there?"

"Madam wants more?" the prostitute asked.

"Buy a dozen or so, the ones raised since childhood are different from the maids bought by Fifty Six."

"That's the reason, otherwise, why would someone say that about having a child?"

The matchmaker quickly picked ten girls over. They were all eight to ten years old, thin and thin, but they looked good.

Han Qiao did not haggle and paid the money neatly.

There were twenty-five more children in the family, and Grandma was a little worried.

So many people need to eat, the daily expenses are not small.

"Don't worry, grandma, let them work when the new year begins."

Among other things, it is possible to make dumplings, peel bamboo shoots, and cut bamboo shoots.

Twenty-five children, named after the twenty-four solar terms, only the child who knelt and kowtowed and said that he would go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of fire for her in the future, Han Qiao gave her a name and a surname.

"You will be Han Chi from now on, hot as fire, listed in Chaoyang, and the eldest brother of these children. They are all under your control. If you manage well, I will pay you, and if you manage poorly, I will punish you."

Han Chi looked up at Han Qiao, "Then what should I call you? Your wife? Or your mother?"

"What do you want to call me?" Han Qiao asked.

Han Chi pursed his lips and looked straight at Han Qiao.

"Do you know the difference between wife and mother? You can stay away from me at any time if you want to call wife in this life, but if you call mother, you have to listen to me and be filial for the rest of your life. Home, for this home, you need to make a lot of efforts to protect it, love it, prevent it from being blown by wind and rain, and prevent it from being framed."

"I want to call you mother."

After Han Chi finished speaking, he knelt down in front of Han Qiao, "Mother, my son greets you."

Han Qiao blushed slightly, "Get up, Ah Chi."

When reaching out to help Han Chi, Han Qiao found that there were tears in his eyes.

He was also surprised that Han Qiao had tears in his eyes.

Blinking, tears rolling down his cheeks.

Then he hugged Han Qiao and cried loudly, "I finally have a family, I finally have a mother."

"You still have a family, parents, sisters, and many, many relatives."
