"A firehouse?" Qin Wuya was startled, and asked: "Do I need to connect to the eardrum?"

"There's no need for that. Just dig a land dragon."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Shan pondered for a moment, then said: "Cultivate a square channel for delivering water on the Ground Dragon. During the day, you have to prepare firewood and water in the firehouse. If you want to use it to heat up your firehouse, you don't have to worry about not having enough water. "

Although Zhang Shan's method was simple, it was still the same as the cultivation rooms of the rich families. Qin Wuya thought for a while and said:

"This is pretty good. It's just that it's a bit of a waste of firewood."

"Don't worry about that. The people in the front hall will bring firewood every three days. It's more than enough for you."

Zhang Shan laughed and held Qin Wuya's hand.

Qin Wuya instinctively dodged, and seeing that Zhang Shan was insistent, she sized up the room. No one else followed him.

The two of them did not walk around properly for a long time. Seeing that they were free today, Zhang Shan directly brought Qin Wuya to the courtyard. There were a few plants of Paeonia and Begonia growing in the yard these few days, and they opened just right.

Walking to the side of a clump of crabapple trees, Zhang Shan suddenly stopped and sized up the woman beside him. She was dressed simply today, with her hair tied up in a casual bun, held in place by a pair of pure and slender hairpins.

"I don't think I've ever seen you bring flowers?"

"I don't look good with it."

It was not because Qin Wuya disliked the Tang Dynasty women's beautiful and beautiful dressing, but she knew that her appearance was just ordinary. She could not bear to look at her beautiful appearance, so she could only try her best to dress up.

"Is that so?" Zhang Shan didn't know what Qin Wuya was thinking about this, so she took out a bright-colored Begonia that was about the same size as's and compared it with the side of her head. After a long while, she very straightforwardly threw the flower in her hand into a quagmire by the side, and said seriously:

"It really doesn't look good."

Qin Wuya: "..."

perhaps because he knew he said the wrong thing, the usually calm yam's face unconsciously flushed red, and after a long while he explained: "This flowery red vulgarity, doesn't suit you."

"…"

Qin Wuya remained silent. Someone, you might as well not say anything.

The next day, after eating the lunchtime diet, the Wang Nu went to look for the notorious Tusk Lady.

Since Qin Wuya had previously said that she wanted to find two perfect girls to serve, the granny broker wasn't sure what the main house wanted, so she picked six girls of different ages to serve.

Two of them were slightly older, around thirteen or fourteen years old. They looked very pretty, and only their bodies were slightly thinner.

Qin Wuya carefully observed the two girls' hands, only to see that their hands, not to mention the cocoons they did not have, were actually even smoother and whiter than their faces.

Qin Wuya could not help but look over at the person inside, only to see that although the little girl had her head lowered, her eyes were still looking around, extremely agile.

As for the other person, he seemed to be quite obedient and had an arrogant expression on his face. It was obvious that he was not someone who could serve others.

Qin Wuya looked at the Old Madam Fang's expression and understood a little. If it was an ordinary family who wanted girls, most of them would not have reached 12, because after 14 or 15, most of these girls would not be able to continue staying, and would have to be released or given to the micros in the courtyard.

The granny broker brought the two girls over even though she knew they were old. It was obvious that she wanted the main family to look at her as a concubine.

This was not surprising. In Cloud Prefecture, many rich or landlords who did not dare to openly marry their concubines would choose to take a step back and spend silver to buy out their house slave concubines.

Of course, because of their terrible reputation, most of them went to look for Tusk Granny in the name of buying a girl to serve them.

Qin Wuya also did not specifically instruct the Wang Nu on what to do yesterday, so it was no wonder that Mrs. Teeth would bring the wrong person.

Fortunately, the granny broker was not only the two old men, but the other four looked strong enough to support them. Obviously, they were all farmers before they were sold.

Qin Wuya did not have the habit of using child labour, but unfortunately, the children of this era had matured early, so when she thought about how she was already a young girl, she could not help but feel conflicted.

He only picked two strong ones from the other four. As for their looks, it wasn't that bad. It was better to not scare them.

The two girls had signed a death contract, and since they were young, they needed to be educated at the main house for a suitable price. One was nine years old and it was four taels of silver while the other was eleven.

The Zhang Family did not have many people, so they naturally did not have that many things to pay attention to. The two little girls, under the guidance of the Wang Nu, learnt some rules and arranged a place to stay.

The next morning, Wang Nu brought the older girl to Qin Wuya's room to wait upon him. Qin Wuya saw that although the younger girl did not raise her eyebrows, she had a gentle expression on her face.

"You used to have a name at home?"

"Yes." The girl's voice was a little soft, but she still nodded her head and said,

"This servant is number three at home. My parents call me San Ya."

Qin Wuya: "..."

Wang Nu: "..."

Qin Wuya once again deeply felt that this idea of her parents giving her child a name was very casual. With great effort, she suppressed the resentment in her heart, and Qin Wuya asked again:

"Then what is your surname?"

"In reply to Madam, this servant's father's surname is Qin."

The little girl seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not right. She lowered her head and her voice became even softer.

Wang Nu: "..."

Qin Wuya: "..."

Love your sister!

Wang Nu glanced at Qin Wuya's expression, coughed lightly, and scolded at the little girl in all seriousness: "You have a taboo with my wife, you have to change it."

"Yes." Madam, please bestow your name upon me. " The little girl obediently knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards Qin Wuya. It was obvious that she did not feel that something was wrong because Wang Nu wanted her to change her name.

Most of those who were sold into slaves would be changed by the family name, and even the Teeth Wife would say something about this before they were sold.

Qin Wuya himself wasn't someone who had the Inherent Skill to choose his name. Originally, she had wanted to ask this little girl's name to avoid being too lazy and to give her less of a name. However, she didn't expect to actually ask for a big sister.

Even if Qin Wuya had a bigger heart, she would still be willing to have a younger sister by her side anytime and anywhere, so she said:

"Then let's call it 'Fu Xi'."

"Thank you Madam for the name."

Fu Xi wasn't unhappy because Qin Wuya had changed her name, but of course, she wasn't happy either. She only kowtowed three times to Qin Wuya once again.

The corner of Qin Wuya's mouth twitched. She felt that her current appearance was just like the old society's landlady described in the books in her previous life, who should have been knocked down and oppressed the poor and laboring people.

Fu Xi was already eleven years old, and adding on to that she would also have to work on the ground frequently before being sold, it was not difficult for his to do some personal work.

Furthermore, Qin Wuya and Zhang Shan did not like to mess with people, for this reason, although Fu Xi was acting like a servant girl to Qin Wuya, the only thing he could do every day was to help the Wang Nu deliver more water, and give him some small things like towels and soap.

Only, no one would have thought that although Fu Xi was timid, he was a stubborn girl.

The weather was good today. Wang Nu carried the bedding in Qin Wuya's room and wanted to bathe in the courtyard. Because she was concerned about Fu Xi's age, Wang Nu only said that she would be the one to use the core to dry her pants. As for the blanket, Wang Nu naturally wanted to do it herself.

Just as he was about to take the bedding out to the courtyard, someone from the outer court sent a message, saying that old man Fang was waiting outside.

Wang Nu was afraid that there were any issues at home, so she instructed Fu Xi to follow the messenger outside.

Furthermore, the old man from back then had actually come to find Mrs Fang because Mrs Fang had previously told her to help her son, Fang Da, look after his daughter-in-law.

Today, a matchmaker had come to ask him, and since Old Man Wang couldn't make a decision, he came to the courtyard to look for his wife.

The Wang Nu was determined to find a suitable marriage partner for his son Fang Da so that she could quickly pick up her grandson and leave with old man Fang without thinking for a moment.

When she returned, she saw that the sky was almost dark. Only then did Wang Nu remember that she had planned to take Qin Wuya out to dry in her house.

It would be fine if the core was taken in later, but the water that was just soaked when she went out the door was not good at all.

The Wang Nu was anxious, she did not have the time to call her over for dinner, and immediately went back to the courtyard. However, she did not expect to see Fu Xi packing up the dried up core to send to the house.

Fu Xi was young, but his hands and feet were full of strength. The ones that were taken prisoner in winter were almost as tall as her, and without using any techniques, she ran into the house while carrying him.

When the Wang Nu saw this, she felt more at ease. However, she quickly changed her mind and washed his face before it turned dark.

However, when she looked back into the courtyard, she saw that a drying rack had already been set up in the courtyard. On top of the drying rack, wasn't there the two sets of backs that she wanted to wash for today? The large wooden tub for washing clothes was also properly put away in the sundry room.

How could Wang Nu not understand that Fu Xi was the only one who did this, he who immediately blamed herself and rejoiced. When brought Qin Wuya back from the streets, she told Qin Wuya everything that had happened. She was not afraid that Qin Wuya would scold her for casually walking out for her own employees, and only kept praising how sensible and capable Fu Xi was, wishing that she could take him as her daughter.

Qin Wuya was also happy about this, and said that she wanted Fu Xi's monthly increase of one gold coin from the beginning of the next month.

One silver coin was not a lot, but this salary increase was already not bad for a little girl who was only half a year old and didn't know how to work.

Under the urging of the Wang Nu, Fu Xi kowtowed to Qin Wuya a few more times. It was obvious that the sound of his head hitting the ground was much louder than the last time.

Because of this, Qin Wuya once again began to silently doubt her own class's identity and understanding.
