    As dusk gradually fell, the last ray of sunlight in the sky disappeared, and the entire inn was shrouded in a gloomy sky.  Chu Chu decided to stay in this inn for one night.  It was night, she was tossing and turning on the bed, thinking in her heart: when Lord Hou's mansion buys maids, it usually only buys maids from the Li family's prostitute.  That prostitute is not a kind person, if she goes there rashly, it will definitely arouse suspicion.  Therefore, at this time, Chu Chu thought of the old woman. It is nothing new for poor people to sell their daughters.

    The next day, Chu Chu left the inn and went to find the old woman.  She followed the direction the old woman had said before, and there was indeed a family here, and the appearance looked very dilapidated.  Chu Chu pushes the door open and enters, what greets her eyes is: surrounded by desolate, not sheltered from the wind and sun, short brown and knotted, and the scoop is empty again and again!

    "Hello, old man." Chu Chu bowed.

    "Are you the girl from last time?" The old woman recognized Chu Chu immediately.

    "It's right here, old man." Chu Chu said.

    "Okay, okay. Come in, come in quickly. The old lady will boil some water for you. It's cold and warm." The old woman said with concern.

    "Old man Hey, I am actually Ji Chu, the youngest daughter of the Ji family." Chu Chu said.

    "Son, is it true? You are the youngest daughter of the Ji family? Okay." The old woman said kindly.

    "I have been wandering outside for these years. I was abducted and sold to a rich family as a maid. Fortunately, the mistress is a good person and treats me as her own. But such a good family was later slaughtered by a group of horse thieves.  It was all gone. At that time, I happened to go out to buy food, so I was spared. So I wanted to come back to see if anyone wanted a maid, so I could have a bite to eat." Chu Chu said.

    "Good boy, what a pity. Otherwise, you should stay at the old woman's house first, and see if anyone wants a maid." The old woman said kindly.

    "I have no family for a long time. If the old man doesn't mind, Ji Chu will be your daughter in the future. Ji Chu is willing to serve you forever." Chu Chu took out her money and handed it to the old man while talking.  The old man insisted on refusing to accept, and said: "The girl is kind-hearted and treats my wife as a relative. My wife has lived for most of her life, her husband died, and then her son also died. I thought I would end up alone, but I didn't expect that I would return to you at the end of the day."  It¡¯s a pity to have a daughter. My wife doesn¡¯t want the money, you keep it for yourself.¡±

    Chu Chu thought for a while and said, "Then you can keep it for me, that's good. I was abducted when I was a child, and I returned to the northwest with my memory. When I see you, the old man, I will think of my parents in my memory." Said  As she spoke, Chu Chu suddenly burst into tears.

    "Poor child." The old man said very fondly.

    These days Chu Chu spent with the old man. She helped the old man with housework, chopping firewood for cooking, washing and boiling water.  Although the life of the two of them was somewhat difficult, for Chu Chu, it was the warmest time.  One day, a group of ruffians from the village came to collect debts again. These ruffians have always recognized money but not people.  One of them kicked open the door of the old woman's room and shouted: "Old woman, I didn't pay last time, so I should have it this time. Do you know why there are no horse thieves in our area? It's all thanks to the brothers."  If the horse thief came, you old woman would have died ten thousand times."

    Chu Chu, who was boiling water at the side, originally wanted to make a move when she saw this scene, but after thinking about it, she refrained from making a move.  She said angrily: "What does my mother owe you? Is there any law in this world?"

    "Old woman, you still have a daughter? This appearance is really in line with my brother's appetite. It's okay if you don't have money, and you can use your daughter to pay off the debt!"

    "Take it, are these enough? These can be paid for a few years." Chu Chu said fiercely.

    Those people looked at it, and it was not a small sum.  After getting the money, they were quite sensible, and immediately greeted each other with smiles: "Enough is enough, it can be worth five years."

    After the gang of hooligans left, the old woman said distressedly: "It's all the old woman who hurt the girl. Hey."

    Chu Chu comforted: "It's okay, old man, I went to the market last time, and I heard that Lord Hou's mansion is about to buy some maids. I can go, they give you a lot of money, so old man, you can live well. It's just this  The Hou Ye Mansion only buys people from the Li family's matchmaker, you can send Ji Chu to the Li family's matchmaker."

    "Old woman, I am really useless." The old woman shook her head and said helplessly.

    On this day, the old woman brought Chu Chu to the tooth shop of the Li family's matchmaker. The matchmaker looked at Chu Chu and asked, "Is this your daughter? It looks only about fifteen or sixty-seven. Your old man should be sixty this year."  Five or six, counting it this way, you can still have children around fifty years old? I don¡¯t want people with unknown origins and dirty bodies in my dental practice.¡±

    The old woman sighed without saying anything.

    &The old man sighed: Situ Ling, was called the Marquis in White because he was always dressed in white.  She has never been close to women, and has a eccentric personality. She is born with a very honorable title and noble blood.  The Iron Armored Army under his command is brave and good at fighting, and has never been defeated in battles with enemy countries on the border!  Such an arrogant person, but there is also someone who makes him surrender - that is the son of the northwest king, Yezixu Yeshizi.  This Ye Shizi is very good at wooing powerful officials. It is said that the northwest is like a small imperial court, and this Ye Shizi's power occupies half of the entire court.

    "Master Hou, this is the new maid named Xiaohong." The steward bowed her head flatteringly.

    Situ Ling hummed, without any warmth, and didn't even glance at the two people around him.

    "Little Hong, you need to clean it carefully. Master Hou likes to be clean, and you don't see any dirty things. If you find something that hasn't been cleaned, be careful not to suffer." The steward immediately changed his face, and said to Chu Chu in a strange way.

    "Yes, steward." Chu Chu replied.

    At this time, I saw that Lord Hou in white turned around and left the study, heading towards the Charming Martial Hall.
