Chapter 36: Recruiting 'Soldiers' and Buying 'Horses' (1)

Xin Ran brought a hundred taels, plus some broken silver, and didn't know if he could buy a carriage, "I don't know, I'll ask Uncle Sun later, if the money is not enough, I'll buy it next time." ”

She thought for a while about buying an ox cart or a horse-drawn cart, it was good to buy an ox cart to transport things, but there was no paddy field at home, so there was no need for cattle, and the weather was cold in winter, so it was a lot of sin to be an ox cart. It's still a carriage, people are more comfortable.

The three of them arrived at Yipinxuan first, and Uncle Sun was settling accounts behind the counter, "Uncle Sun, you're busy." Shopkeeper Sun raised his head when he heard the voice and beckoned, "Yo, Xiao Ran and the eldest sister are here, go and sit inside, I'll come right away after I settle the account." ”

Xin Ran was not polite either, and went directly to the backyard.

Xiao Man took the three of them to the backyard hall and went out for tea. After a cup of tea, the shopkeeper Sun came, looking at Xin Ran holding a child, a little puzzled, "Xiao Ran, who is this child?" Haven't seen it yet? He remembered that she didn't seem to have a brother.

"Maybe it was blocked by the cabinet just now, you didn't see it, this is my brother, named Xin Guo. Guo'er, say hello to your uncle. Xin Guo raised his little head and called out to his uncle in a straight voice.

Shopkeeper Sun is happy, such a big child can be his grandson, but now he calls him uncle, hey, he is not old yet, "Haha, Guo'er, this is a meeting gift from your uncle." As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his body, which was a little monkey. Xin Guo looked at Xin Ran and saw that she nodded before taking the thing.

Holding the small jade pendant that had just arrived, Xin Guoer didn't see it clearly, so she handed it to her sister.

"Yo, the child is so sensible, good boy." Shopkeeper Sun has been watching and thinks it's funny. Generally, children play by themselves when they get things, and they give up when they have had enough.

Xin Ran didn't expect his younger brother to be so well-behaved and lovely. Put the jade pendant in the child's small palm, "Guo'er plays first, I don't want to play with my sister, can my sister help you keep it?" Xin Guo pursed his lips and nodded.

The child took the jade pendant and leaned against Xin Ran's leg and played, "Sister? Xin Guo pointed to the pendant with questions in his eyes, "Guo'er, this is an animal, called a monkey, isn't it cute." ”

Xin Guo looked at it, but couldn't see it. Xin Ran smiled and didn't explain again.

"Uncle Sun, I came this time to buy a few people to go back, do you know which dental store is better? The fields at home need to be done by people to grow good things. ”

Shopkeeper Su smiled, "We have a princess in this town, she is a flatterer, you pick your own good character, don't be fooled by her, I will let Xiao Yang accompany you later, and come to my uncle's place for dinner at noon." ”

Xin Ran shook his head, "I still want to buy a carriage later, and I'm embarrassed to let the villagers deliver it again and again, so I won't come to eat at noon." Shopkeeper Sun smiled, "You girl, uncle gave you one?" "How can it, Brother Xiao Yang will help me choose one later, I don't know how much I can buy it?"

"A better horse is one hundred and eighty taels, and the next one can be bought for fifty or sixty taels of silver, mainly to pick horses." Shopkeeper Sun explained, "I also know Ma Dalang, who sells horses, so let him count you cheaper." Xin Ran thanked Uncle Sun with a grin.

After a while, Xiao Yang, who had gone to pull the goods, came back. "Shopkeeper, I'm back and I've collected five hundred catties of lotus root, and the village chief said that there isn't much left."

"I know, Xiao Ran is here, you take them to Wang Yapo to pick people, and then go to Ma Dalang to see the horses, you let him be cheaper."

After saying goodbye to Uncle Sun, Xin Ran led Xin Guo slowly, Xiao Yang also asked about Xin Guo, Xin Ran had to say it again, and Xiao Yang didn't ask again. Changed the subject, "Xiao Ran, who do you want to buy?" Xin Ran thought for a while, "It's better to buy a family, it's more convenient, let's see it later." ”

Soon walked to an alley, where the houses look good, and they should all be solid homes. Xiao Yang walked to the door of a house and stopped, knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard footsteps, and it was an old woman in her fifties who opened the door. You're really here, the newcomers are all smart......" Xiao Yang hurriedly interrupted her, telling him in the past, he couldn't listen to her chatter, otherwise it would be endless.

"Mrs. Wang, it's not Yipinxuan who buys people, it's the niece of the shopkeeper Wang, this girl will choose a few people." As soon as Wang Yapo heard that it was not a buyer, her face fell, and when she heard that it was the niece of the shopkeeper Wang who wanted to buy someone, she smiled again, "Oh, it turns out that this girl wants to buy someone, come in and sit down, and tell me what you want?" I have all of this, do you have long eyes first? ”

Xin Ran took Xin Guo by the hand, walked slowly to the living room and sat down, before speaking, "There are no other requirements." Just be honest and willing to work, clean hands and feet, and don't commit any crimes. ”

Wang Yapo opened her mouth, "Don't worry, I won't accept those people." Wait a minute, I'll bring someone to you to see. ”

Xin Ran nodded slightly.

This Wang Pozi is also a can't figure it out, and the guests don't know how to serve tea, it's really powerful, it won't be reluctant to give up those handfuls of tea, right? Xin Ran thought in his heart. Looking at her floured face just now, even if she brought it, she wouldn't dare to drink it.

Soon seven or eight people walked in, standing in a row, Xin Ran looked carefully, four women, three men. The woman on the far left looked beautiful, and when she saw Xin Ran looking at her, she snorted softly, with a proud expression, and it seemed that she looked down on her shabbyness. The remaining ones, one is older, taller, medium in stature, not panicked by Xin Ran's scrutiny, one is only ten years old, looks submissive, looks restless, fearful and expectant, that is, a child, and one is about the same as Xin Ran, the clothes are relatively old, but very clean. The three men are also not big, and they are estimated to be about the same as Yang Zi

Xin Ran first asked about their life experiences, "Let's talk about their names, their ages, whether they want to sign a deed of life or a deed of death, and what have they done before?" Let's start with you. She pointed to the pretty girl.

"My name is Yanhong, eighteen this year, living deed, the maid of the second girl in the family of a third-grade member Dali Siqing, and was later framed by Taoran's slut, and was sold by the girl, I believe that the eldest young master is back, and he will definitely come to me, I want to wait for the young master here." This red girl was honored at the beginning, then she looked hideous, and finally she had a love vein, what a big play. Xin Ran watched it with relish, she didn't participate, but she loved it.

She bowed her head to signal that the next one could start, and the woman stepped forward and saluted, "Old slave Fang Rong, this year there are six out of forty, sign the death deed, originally to raise a grandmother, know some fists and feet, the girl doesn't like the old slave expressionless, while the old lady is out of the house, the back foot sold the old slave, the old slave has never done anything hurtful." ”

After saying that, he returned to the line.
