Xia Xiaodong didn't ask Lu Chen, what is there to ask.

"How many people are in the Wuda family?" Xia Xiaodong asked about this.

"Four," Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, of course, he didn't just answer these two words, but introduced the basic situation of the four members of the Wuda family.

What are you asking, what are you asking, squeezing toothpaste?! Pondering! A subordinate who does not know the intentions of the master, the cliff is not a good subordinate.

Wuda's family is two old and two young, and the two old are not very old, but they are middle-aged, and the two young are good ages to be on errands, just because they are born in the family, they are not very decently raised by the two old ones.

Xia Xiaodong looked up at the sky.

The weather is clear, and it is a good day to travel.

Who wants to waste time on some big thing?

"If you sell it, how much silver will it sell?"

"......" Lu Chen's heartbeat slowed down. The Lu family is a big family, and like other big families, they would rather raise idlers than sell people - they have a bad reputation. What's more, because the children of the family are tied by relatives, they will be more trustworthy.

"Can't you sell it for silver?" Lu Chen didn't answer, Xia Xiaodong was a little strange. When I bought Lao Zhou's family in Yunchang Mansion, it cost a lot.

"Four people, you can always sell about forty taels." Lu Chen didn't dare not answer this time, and since he answered, of course he had to answer carefully.

"If you sell it alone, although Wuda is a man, it is probably worth ten taels. Her daughter-in-law is quite capable and can cook, and can have twelve taels. The two younger ones, the son can't do the hard work, and the age of the big amount of food can only be sold for eight taels. The daughter looks average, she doesn't want it in the kiln, and if she is still a maid, it will only be five taels in the sky. ”

Xia Xiaodong nodded: "Then let them take eighty taels and redeem themselves." If you can't take it, sell it. ”

"Eight, eighty taels?" Lu Chen was a little overwhelmed: "The market price doubled? ”

"That's right," Xia Xiaodong said with a smile, "They left us before, so they should be considered fugitive slaves, right?" But since he fled to the Lu family, there are one or two extenuating circumstances. Charging a little more is just a mistake from before, so I won't pursue it. ”

"If you don't want to, or if you don't have the money, then it's okay to sell it." Xia Xiaodong said, stood up and prepared to enter the house: "Anyway, they didn't want to stay here, wouldn't it be just right to change their master." ”

Until Xia Xiaodong changed his clothes and walked out again, Lu Chen was still standing in place thinking about it.

Double the value, in fact, is not much, but it is not a lot.

Take Wuda as an example, his original monthly silver is one or two silver, and he can have a few hundred dollars every month, his food and accommodation are in the house, and the clothes for the four seasons are also made in the needlework room, so he can still save money if he really wants to save money.

However, you have to pay for eating, drinking, gambling, money, favors, etc., and you have to pay for it. How much is left in the end is very different. Some subordinates, looking at the low level, are Pixiu, only in and out, and there are not many private rooms. Some of them look glamorous and decent, but in fact, the left hand is in and the right hand is out, and there is not much family background.

But for the descendants of the big house, the most important thing is identity. When I went out to buy things and run errands, I opened my mouth and said that I am a member of the Lu family, who dares to bully casually? If you get mixed up with the master, you can even get a lot of benefits.

Lu Chen couldn't help but snort. This Xia girl looks gentle and generous, and everything is negotiable, in fact, this double price request is clearly to squeeze the Wuda family dry and then throw it out to fend for herself, she is still a ruthless person!

Xia Xiaodong didn't expect that Lu Chen could come up with so many connotations, in fact, in her opinion, things couldn't be simpler - it is impossible to redeem herself at market price, which means that there is no punishment, so it will be doubled.

Xia Xiaodong, who changed her clothes and 'retouched' her face, didn't look outstanding, but she was just a girl from a well-off family in the upper middle.

"If you want that kind of two-person green canopy carriage, I'll take Mu Mu out for a walk." It's not the first time Xia Xiaodong has gone out. Since Lu Yunzhi moved back to the Lu family's mansion, it has become more and more convenient, and he always has to go out for a walk every once in a while.

"Yes." Lu Chen responded, and couldn't help but ask again: "If you can't give a price, will you really sell it?" ”

"Huh?" Xia Xiaodong paused for a moment, and then thought that what Lu Chen was talking about was still the Wuda family: "It's really selling!" Also, if someone from the Lu family wants to buy it, it will also cost double the price. ”

Lu Chen's face froze, he didn't dare to ask again, and hurriedly went to arrange the car.

……

……

Xia Xiaodong took a little effort to find the wooden shop in Tianbei Lane, which should belong to him - Muzhaotang. Although Tianbei Lane is not far from Moxiangyuan, the door of Muzhaotang is quite small, and the car walked over, but I didn't see it, and I found it when I returned.

Sandwiched between two restaurants, Kishodo looks awkward. No wonder the fifth lady didn't feel distressed when she sent it out.

The three big characters on the signboard are all official books, which look simple and natural, and the wood color is dark, obviously some years.

Now the one who drives the car and acts as a guard for Xia Xiaodong is the old man who followed Lu Xingsheng and caught Bai Er before--in fact, he is not old, but he is only in his early forties, named Archie.

asked Archie to drive the car out of the alley, and Xia Xiaodong took Mu Mu into Muzhaotang.

There was only one old shopkeeper and one guy in the shop.

"What do you want to see?" The guy was wearing an off-white cardigan gown, just a little listless, and when he saw a guest coming in, he reluctantly rubbed over to say hello.

"Let's take a look at it, if we have anything to ask for, we will call you again." Xia Xiaodong waved his hand to signal that no one would follow.

The most annoying kind of clerk who follows closely behind, picks up something casually, and has to enthusiastically introduce it for a long time, and let people not look good.

"Okay, take your time." The words were crisp and smooth for the guy, and he was obviously glad not to bother.

The old shopkeeper looked up from the counter and glanced at the fellow dissatisfiedly, but after all, he didn't say anything, and still lowered his head, as if he was settling the score.

Xia Xiaodong first glanced at the things in the shop and found that it was quite distinctive.

Half of the shop was lined with stacked wooden tables and chairs. These tables and chairs are made in a narrow style at the top and wide at the bottom, stacked on top of each other and do not take up space, and the wood is just ordinary elm and willow wood, which are all big road goods.

In the other half of the place, there are some daily products such as wooden barrels, wooden basins and even dishes and chopsticks, the materials are ordinary, but the mortise and tenon joints are smooth and tight, and the craftsmanship is really not bad.

The most strange thing is that there is a shelf above, there are also several wooden ornaments, all of which are small monks with different postures, looking solemn and very. It's just that these ornaments are placed so high that guests can't hold them at all, and they are dusty, and they don't seem to be cleaned very much.

"This," Xia Xiaodong pointed to one of the little monk ornaments wearing a yellow robe and meditating: "How to sell it?" ”
