Commentary for Kiddushin 38:2
ת"ר כיצד מצות יעוד אומר לה בפני שנים הרי את מקודשת לי הרי את מאורסת לי אפילו בסוף שש ואפילו סמוך לשקיעת החמה ונוהג בה מנהג אישות ואינו נוהג בה מנהג שפחות רבי יוסי ברבי יהודה אומר אם יש שהות ביום כדי לעשות עמו שוה פרוטה מקודשת ואם לאו אינה מקודשת
He [her master] declares to her in the presence of two people, 'Behold, thou art designated unto me,'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So Bah.');"><sup>1</sup></span> [or] 'Behold, thou art betrothed unto me,'[or] 'Behold, thou art become an arusah unto me: even at the end of the six [years] ,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' On the very last day, but before she actually completes it.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
According to the first opinion in this baraita, the master can designate her right up until sunset during the last day of her servitude. The idea seems to be that when the master bought her, he already paid the kiddushin money. Thus he need not forgive her any work or give her any money.
R. Yose son of R. Yehudah says that there must be time for her to work for him the value of a perutah. This is the kiddushin money, because as we have seen R. Yose son of R. Yehudah does not hold that the sale counts as kiddushin.
