Zhiruo still closed her eyes, and the corners of her lips hooked up with a touch of coldness: "If she really intends to cling to Qiu Yiran, what if I fulfill her?"

Ruchun was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, the girl knew everything, and the girl she thought of also thought of it. That's right, when she came back from the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion, the girl seemed to be indifferent to Ruqiu, and she didn't take her with her when she returned to the capital. It's just a maid who no longer trusts, if Qiu Yiran really uses Ruqiu to calculate the girl, it's okay, after all, they are already wary of Ruqiu.

Ruchun was relieved and said, "The slave will pay attention." Girl, the two young masters, the second girl, and the third girl have no one waiting around, as soon as we return to Los Angeles, will we let Ya Po send someone over to pick some? After a long time, I'm afraid that ......" Ruchun is still worried that the Qiu family will be uneasy and kindly install people, and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion has a deep foundation in Los Angeles.

Zhiruo opened his eyes, smiled approvingly, and said, "Don't wait to return to Los Angeles, you forget, we will stay in Kaecheng tonight, and it's a big deal to buy one or two more carriages." ”

Ruchun's eyes lit up, isn't it? Kaecheng has the largest north-south slave distribution market in the Daying Dynasty, a real population wholesale place, and many people in the capital come here to find "good goods". Here, whether you want the south to be delicate and well-behaved, or the north to be tall and neat, or even the exotic and strong of the Fan ethnic group, you can generally find a few.

Whether it is the Yin family's two rooms or the Qiu family, even if they think of planting the flag so quickly, I am afraid that they will not think that their girls will buy people directly in Kaesong, right?

It's just that many of the people who sell here are untrained. After the tooth shops and tooth women in various places are bought, they will carry out basic training according to the classification, so that they can be sold to large households, working villages, workshops, and buildings at a higher price. That is to say, in addition to those who were sold and resold by the original owner's family, many of the products sold in the Kaesong market are only semi-finished products of slaves and maids, which are not easy to use, especially those with relatively high requirements such as personal maids.

Zhiruo said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's like a blank piece of paper that hasn't been trained, it's easier to identify and choose, and it's more suitable after training, Aunt Qiang, Mother Gui, and Mother You are all masters of training slaves." You can bring a few with you, too." As for the little guy or something, just leave it to the strong uncle.

Zhiruo believes that as long as there is a systematic and strict system of rules, it is not difficult to manage slaves well, not to mention that in this regard, it is much easier to manage employees in ancient times than in modern times, because slaves have signed a deed of sale or even death. Unless the master is willing to let go of the deed, they will not be able to move an inch, and the slaves who betray the master's family will be beaten to death and sold at a discount, even if they are directly executed, it is normal.

When Tie Muyuan heard Zhiruo say that he wanted to buy people in Kaesong, he was very much in favor, and immediately asked the team to speed up and rest in Kaesong.

When they arrived in Kaesong, they found a large inn closer to the city. After settling down, Zhiruo changed into a lake-blue men's robe that he specially bought for himself when he bought clothes for Mingze and Minghui in the capital, wore a curtain fence for men to cover half of his face, and brought Mother You, Uncle Qiang, Ruchun, and the three dart masters to buy people.

At this time, there are not many buyers, and as soon as they enter the boundary of the market, they immediately attract the attention of the stall owners. Each stall in the market is a large tent of at least 20 square meters, and the betrayed people are gathered in one place according to men, women and children, or sit directly on the ground. Some tents were also separated by a small piece of soft veil, and the figures inside were faintly visible, apparently beauties who were ready to be sold as concubines or go to the upper houses for a higher price.

Zhiruo, who restores modern memories, suddenly has a sad feeling in his heart, these people are no longer regarded as human beings in a sense.

From the outfits of Zhiruo and several people, it is easy to see that it is not a human tooth, but a large family to buy it for their own use. Sellers in the market like this kind of customer the most, first, most of the people who go directly to the market to buy people are in high demand, no less than Ya Po and Ya Xing;

Therefore, every few steps they take, their eyes sweep to a certain stall, and they will attract the enthusiastic greeting of the stall owner: "Childe, come and take a look, there are a few new ones here who are beautiful and literate." "Hurry up and come to our house to pick, and a new batch of official slaves will be auctioned, such as stewards, personal attendants, and rough work, all of which will satisfy you." "Ah, my son, the chief steward, come to our selection, we are guaranteed to come out of a clean white family, and you can get started with a little training, and the foundation is clean and neat"......

Zhiruo said softly: "Uncle Qiang, you can choose a few useful stewards from the official slaves, just have some experience, and the most important thing is human duty." "This is what Uncle Qiang used to do when he was in the Great General's Mansion, and there is no problem for him at all.

As for the maids and maids who came to serve their younger brothers and sisters, they must have asked her and Mother You to come. These people, knowing Ruo, still deliberately pick from the "blank paper". First of all, I picked eight little maids about 6 years old, who are not troublesome, have innocent backgrounds, flexible limbs, and look well-behaved and have some aura.

Then there are ten maids between the ages of eight and twelve, two or three of whom are beautiful and sensitive, and if they are trained well, they may be able to wait for Zhihui and Zhixuan.

Zhiruo made such a big deal as soon as she made a move, which made those stall owners rush to it, guessing Zhiruo's preferences and directly bringing over the "good goods" in her hands, for fear that she would choose all the people she needed before she went to her stall.

"Son, look at this brother and sister, the eldest is 13 years old, the younger is 9 years old, is a pair of orphans, sold from the south, good-looking, literate, and diligent, their father went to Beijing to take the exam and was robbed and killed by bandits, and his mother also died of illness. A fat white stall owner shoved the two men over.

At a glance, the brother and sister are indeed very good-looking, but they have lost some weight, their skin is a little sallow, and they are obviously malnourished. The 13-year-old brother hugged his 9-year-old sister tightly, looked at Zhiruo with a wary face, and then looked at the eighteen little maids that Zhiruo had bought, his lips squirmed for a while, and finally asked: "Childe, what are you buying so many girls for?"

The stall owner had promised him not to sell their brother and sister to that kind of unclean place, but he was still not at ease, he was most afraid that those people would say that their brother and sister were good-looking. In order not to go to that kind of place, their brother and sister once went on a hunger strike for three days, and they had to disfigure themselves, but fortunately, the stall owner did not seem too ruthless, and promised them that if a big family came to buy it directly, and the price was better, he would not resell them to Renyazi or Louzi or other places.

The white fat stall owner is in a hurry, why doesn't the stinky boy believe his words? These people are from a big family at first glance, and judging by the eyes of this son and the questions he asks, it is obvious that he is choosing a maid for the little master and young lady in the house, and for training and training reserve maids. Especially the big ten, many of them should be used directly for rough maids.

The stinky boy asked abruptly, what should I do if my son is angry? He is afraid that no one in his stall will be able to sell it. The white fat stall owner regretted it, why did he suddenly be kind and push these two brothers and sisters out first?" "Shi Xiaofeng, shut up for me! What does Childe do when he buys a maid and use the wheel to get you to take care of it? Childe don't be angry, don't be angry, these two don't know what to do, I have a better one." ”

Zhiruo saw the pain she had in the eyes of the brother named Shi Xiaofeng, and waved her hand: "It's okay, it's not a big deal, I choose maids for my younger brothers and sisters, and we just moved to a new place from other places, so it's better to start training from a young age." ”

Shi Xiaofeng pulled his sister to kneel down with a puff: "Son, you buy us, Xiaoyu and I will do a lot of things, I have a lot of strength, and I can do any job." Although Xiaoyu is young, he can cook, sew clothes, embroider and embroider well, and his uncle's little cousins and cousins were all taken care of by Xiaoyu. As long as we don't do things that insult our parents, our brothers and sisters will repay our sons by being cows and horses. ”

"Rise up and speak first. "Zhiruo is quite satisfied, Shi Xiaofeng looks like a steady and thoughtful person, it should be good for him to follow Minghui, and Shi Xiaoyu will be a girl, see if he can be cultivated into a personal big girl by Zhixuan's side. Shi Xiaoyu knelt beside her brother, well-behaved and quiet, but with the same stubbornness in her eyes as her brother.

Shi Xiaofeng hurriedly said: "Is it that my unreasonableness just now made Childe angry?" I'm worried that Childe bought so many girls to make them do those bad things, I ...... I...... , Childe, I will kowtow to you and apologize, please buy us. He intuitively felt that this son, who was willing to sue him for buying a maid, would be a good master, and he didn't know where his brother and sister would be sold. How many times can he avoid a hunger strike or self-disfigurement? In the past few days, he has heard about the various methods of those people, and it makes people despair when they hear it.

"Your father is Xiucai, you brothers and sisters should be literate, right?" asked Zhiruo.

Shi Xiaofeng was still kowtowing, suddenly reacted, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, Xiaoyu and I are both literate and can write." "Xiaoyu is fast, write a few words to show Childe.

Xiaoyu picked up a small branch at his feet, and seriously wrote the words "Good rain knows the season" on the muddy ground, which can be seen that the words are quite upright and delicate.

Shi Xiaofeng took the small branch in his sister's hand and also wrote: "Heng, Tian, sincerity, and courage".

Zhiruo was more satisfied, but still asked: "What is the insult to your father and mother in your eyes?

Shi Xiaofeng was still kneeling, but his back was straight: "Keeping to yourself, living a solid life with your own hands, perseverance, simplicity, honesty and bravery, this is what our father and mother require of us." Even if we are slaves, we will also be slaves with a clear conscience, and we will not forget the teachings of our parents. ”

Zhiruo nodded: "Get up, Heng, Tian, Cheng, Yong, well, very good." ”

Shi Xiaofeng was stunned, the son's tone seemed to be quite happy, but he didn't say whether he was willing to buy them. Just as he was about to ask again, he saw that Uncle Qiang next to him was asking the price with the stall owner, and took out the silver, and was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, Childe!" Only then did Xiaoyu stand up with his sister, and stood behind Uncle Qiang very consciously.

Along the way, Uncle Qiang picked three stewards, five experienced Chang Sui, and Mother You also helped Zhiruo pick five stewards, all of whom were selected from the official slaves. The official slaves of this dynasty are very different from ordinary slaves, they cannot redeem themselves and get rid of slavery for generations, and their only hope is to meet a good master. You can live smoothly and smoothly, and you don't have to be sold back and forth.

Mother You smiled: "It seems that we are really going to add two more carriages." "But just the simplest one, a few benches can sit a lot of people.

Mother You is very much in favor of buying the slaves she needs in Kaesong, although the carriage and lodging guests will cost us a little more, but it is better to be safe, and the possibility of being planted with nails is small.

Zhiruo thinks exactly that, and in her opinion, the problems that can be solved with silver are not problems. Money can be earned, but it's a terrible thing to have a nail stuck in your side.

And she already has a preliminary plan in her head now, and she thinks that she will need a lot of people in the future, and now she sees a good one, and it doesn't hurt to prepare some first, and then sell it if she doesn't agree.

Thinking so, she picked five more small guys who looked more pleasing to the eye, and when Xiaofeng added it, it was six, and after returning to Meizhuang, she asked Ming Ze and Minghui to pick two, and the rest was arranged by Uncle Qiang and Qi Bo.

Just as they were about to leave, they inadvertently caught a glimpse of a man in the shape of a "madman" squatting in the corner of an open-air stall, with a decadent atmosphere. The black curly chicken nest head mixed with a few straws, and the big beard on his face made it almost impossible to see his face, but the eyes that looked up to the sky made Zhiruo feel extraordinarily bright.

What attracted Zhiruo to stop involuntarily was not only his madman appearance, his incompatible clear eyes, but also his amazing internal strength.

Yes, internal forces. Except for Zhiruo, I am afraid that no one will find that at the feet of the "madman" there are piles of powder, some straw and some stones. The "madman" is alone in a daze, bored with a straw or a stone in his hand, in short, he picks up something, and doesn't pick up another one (one) after a while......

The stall owner noticed that Zhiruo was staring at his tent and was happily approaching, but found that Zhiruo seemed to be facing the direction of the "madman", so he hurriedly stepped forward and kicked him: "Get out of the way, so as not to be an eyesore here." Then he walked over quickly with a flattering face and explained to Zhiruo: "Don't get me wrong, Childe, I'm very clean, and these people have to be washed every few days." That person was sold from the northwest, and it was not bad to look tall and big, but who wanted to be a madman, he refused to tie his hair, refused to shave his beard, and didn't speak, so he squatted there all day long to watch the sky, and the sky was about to be seen through to him. ”

Zhiruo didn't respond to the stall owner, only to see the "madman" who was kicked by the stall owner casually moving a little more into the corner, as if he was not a slave to be sold who was harshly reprimanded and kicked, but a lazy old cat, who was "caressed" by the owner and disgusted, and it was not painful.
