Chapter 95. The body is like duckweed with the spring river
"Forty-eight taels."
Su Musha read softly.
Hearing the price, Gao Ping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Sold so much? β
"But it's not," the tooth guy said with a smile on his eyebrows when he saw Gao Ping's face warm, "Counting the intermediary remuneration of two taels, a total of fifty taels." The latter didn't even blink his eyes, and gave cash on the spot. β
Before the words fell, Gao Ping sneered. The tooth was so panicked that he almost bit his tongue, and hurriedly clarified: "I didn't take a penny from the small remuneration, and I handed it over to the account office." β
Forty-eight taels of silver is just six months' rent for the shop that Su Musha has a fancy of, and it can buy the life of two living people.
Even in Yayu's opinion, this business is quite profitable, but you can imagine how much money they spent to hold the deed of sale of these two people in their hands.
Su Musha's hand clenching the contract slowly turned white.
"Originally, a crying and disobedient maid like this had to be disciplined by the grandmother for two days before she could resell it, otherwise she would go crazy and cause trouble at the new master's house, and it would discredit the reputation of the tooth shop," the tooth thief chattered endlessly, "but the latter neither cared nor bargained, and couldn't wait to buy both of them," he said and glanced at Gao Ping flatteringly, "The little one thought that the price was suitable, and saved two days of rations and the cost of the grandmother, so he signed the contract on his own initiative." β
The dissatisfaction in Gao Ping's heart subsided slightly, as the tooth yellant said, the businessman pursues profits, such a good price, and free from worries, it is he who he also signed.
But this mind can't be known by the people below, otherwise they will all buy and sell without authorization, mess with the rules, and how can he, the steward, manage the entire tooth shop.
Thinking of this, Gao Ping said coldly about the punishment: "Punish you for half a month's salary, don't buy and sell for three days, and if you commit it again next time, you will be severely punished...... What are you doing here, you don't have to do so much work? β
The tooth man thought he was unlucky, and left dejectedly.
The booklet in Gao Ping's hand was about to bottom out, and he was sweating profusely. After turning two more pages, there was a turnaround, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed the booklet and was about to go out. But he immediately realized that it would be too lazy for Lao Li to leave now. He said in a consultative tone: "Elder Li." If you don't have any other instructions, I will send someone to communicate with the Liu family, and choose a suitable time for both parties to sign and draw, what do you think? β
Lao Li saw that Su Musha looked like her soul was flying for nine days, and knew that she was worried about the two maids. There was no time for him to care, so he had to make up his mind alone: "Yes." The old man left an address for you, and made an appointment to send someone to inform. With that, he walked to the bookcase and picked up his sleeves to hold the pen. Gao Ping went around to the other side to grind the ink and wait, and then carefully dried the strip and sandwiched the page that recorded the pΓΉ of the Hanlian Lane store.
Over there, Su Musha wanted to raise his feet and walked out, and said: "Uncle Li, I'm sorry for you, the matter of my two maids is urgent, if there is a letter from the Liu family, please ask Uncle Li to tell me." β
Lao Li and the old god agreed on the spot. He said with relief: "Don't worry, girl, if necessary, the old man will report to the Hou Ye to send someone to find it." β
"In this case, please report to the Hou Ye, if you find the buyer, be sure to inform me, and I will talk to him again."
Su Musha said goodbye and ran out without getting his feet dirty.
"Elder Li, what about inviting a Taoist priest?" After Gao Ping waited for her figure to disappear, he asked tentatively.
Lao Li Zhengse said: "Miss Su can do whatever she says. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"In his twenties. Northern accent, drove the carriage to the east of the city. β
Su Musha whispered the information that Shicai and the tooth had heard, and at the same time walked quickly to the street, looking for someone to investigate:
"Auntie. Have you ever seen a horse-drawn carriage that left from Gaosheng Yahang around the hour and headed east...... See? Do you remember the style of the carriage? β
"Uncle, have you ever seen a blue silk carriage pass by...... Yes, it was a young man who drove the car......"
"Big Sister ......"
After inquiring all the way, I couldn't inquire anymore after leaving the three streets of Lianshanfang.
Su Musha stood still. I didn't know where I was going.
The sun rose higher and higher, and due to the rush of running, a layer of fine sweat broke out on the bridge of Su Musha's forehead and nose. Yongjing has a large population, and the people who enter and exit the city gate every day do not know how much. If that man was really a merchant, he didn't know where he was going now.
She still had a suspicion in her heart, because the tooth boy remembered another detail under her questioning:
"The older maid had said nothing and would not go with the man, but who would have thought that the man had said a few words to her, and she obediently got into the carriage."
What exactly is it that makes Chuncao obey.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Chuncao has had a rough half a day, last night was tied up and thrown in the firewood room to sleep all night, this morning was carried all the way to the tooth shop by the fierce teeth, and when they were threatening to be beaten if they were disobedient, a person appeared out of thin air and paid to buy them.
After a night and a morning of tossing, her body was about to fall apart, and her whole body hurt when she moved.
At this moment, she leaned on the wall of the carriage, closed her eyes tiredly, and all she thought about was the bonsai under the bed in the young lady's room, whether it had been touched or had been searched and destroyed.
"Sister Chuncao, let's run......"
A thin voice came from her ears, and Chuncao opened her eyes, saw the little cucumber lying on her shoulder, and said mysteriously, her big eyes full of restlessness and eagerness.
Seeing her like this, Chuncao was angry and funny, but more sad: this stupid girl, who still doesn't know her situation, still has the courage to say that she runs.
"Where to run," Chuncao said in a stern tone, for fear that she would suffer even more in the future if she had this undeserved thought, "Our deed of sale is in the hands of others, and as soon as we run, we will become fugitive slaves, and we will be killed directly if we are caught." β
The little cucumber's eyes widened, and she said, "No, it won't," she grabbed the placket of her clothes with her two small hands, and writhed uneasily, "Mother promised me that she would redeem me in two years...... I don't want to be a slave for the rest of my life, I can only marry a slave in the future, and even the children I give birth to are slaves......"
"Shh
Chuncao covered her grinning mouth and whispered, "Don't make trouble, the person outside heard it......" She stopped, thinking of the threat he made when she met that person last time:
"Take this thing and hit it in the eye, a dozen and a packet."
She shuddered, gritted her teeth and said to the little cucumber: "Don't talk nonsense, otherwise you won't know how to die." β
"What is dead or alive, I can't get used to hearing this."
The curtain of the car was raised, and a lazy voice floated into the carriage, and Chuncao looked at it, and was colliding with his gaze, and bounced away in shock, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, what do you want?" β
The speaker was wearing a long shirt with green stripes on a white background, and there were no extra bits and pieces all over his body, which looked fancy and refreshing.
Chuncao glanced at the car where he was sitting, and saw a square scarf under his buttocks, and his heart was even more determined, although his appearance has changed, but it is clear that he was the thief who once broke into Su Wan'er's study in the old mansion in Dian Zhou, and was later found to have fled to Su Musha's courtyard!
