Chapter 282: Loyal or Treacherous
So Han Chuxue didn't think much about it and said to Mrs. Zeng, "What Jing Xuan said is very true, if Mrs. has a suitable one, my family will also ask for it." ”
Because she said before that this matter would be handed over to Mrs. Zeng, now if she talks to Mrs. Huang directly, she will have some face for Mrs. Zeng, so Han Chuxue still only tells Mrs. Zeng of her decision, and she will tell Mrs. Huang.
Her approach greatly increased Mrs. Zeng's favor, and she was even more convinced that she had an extraordinary background, how could an ordinary peasant child have such a way of doing things.
"Mrs. Huang, you also heard it, if you have a suitable boy in your hand, bring it with you, if the truth is found, my niece in this life will also want it."
Mrs. Huang only knew at this time that it was not Mrs. Zeng's wife who wanted to buy someone, but the little girl who was sitting next to her.
Han Chuxue's body was made for her by Xiuniang, although it was a muslin cloth, but with the previous family background of the Han family and her own age, it was impossible for Xiuniang to give her any fancy and eye-catching clothes, so it was easy for people to mistake her for an ordinary little girl, but when she saw her face clearly, with more than ten or twenty years of experience in trading, Huang Pozi felt that this little girl was definitely not simple.
Guessing that the origin of the little baby in front of her was not simple, of course Mrs. Huang didn't dare to despise her, so she nodded her head and said yes, then turned around and went out to pick someone to bring over so that the master could choose.
Her movements were still quite fast, and they had waited less than a quarter of an hour for the cold and early snow, and she walked in with a group of men, women, and children.
According to the conditions mentioned by Mrs. Zeng, the group of people stood in four rows, the first row was three adult men, the second row was four middle-aged women, the third row was six little girls between the ages of ten and thirteen, and the last row was four little boys about ten years old.
It's time to pick people. The initiative was handed back to Han Chuxue, but Mrs. Zeng was still by her side, ready to give some advice in a timely manner. And Luo Anyang stepped forward directly, taking a look at the matter. That turned, and asked a few words with an old-fashioned look, obviously he hadn't forgotten what he said about helping the little master pick someone.
Han Chuxue smiled and didn't speak, let him toss, but his divine sense had quietly observed these people, and with the fluctuation of their aura when Luo Anyang asked him, he quickly picked the person she wanted.
The hand pointed at a man in his thirties standing in the middle. "What's your name?"
Usually asking like this, it means that it has been selected, and Huang Pozi immediately motioned for the other two to step aside, leaving the man in the middle to talk to Han Chuxue.
Although this man is sold out for life, his attitude is not humble and he doesn't see any arrogance, just now Luo Anyang was a little hairy child around him, and he didn't see any fluctuations in his feelings, and now there is a little girl who is smaller than the little hairy child just now and asks him, he still has that calm and waveless expression, "The little one is called Zhong Jian." ”
Loyalty?
Han Chuxue's face suddenly rose with a hint of interest. "That's an interesting name, so are you loyal or traitor?"
Poof. Several of the people standing behind the man couldn't help laughing, and they were glared at by Mrs. Huang, and hurriedly lowered their heads and didn't dare to laugh out loud.
However, that Zhong Jian still has an ancient and unwavering demeanor, "The small surname is Zhong, the name is Jian, as for the small one is loyal or treacherous, it depends on whether the master is loyal or treacherous, the master is loyal, and the small one is loyal." The master is a traitor, and the little one can only be a traitor. ”
Han Chuxue's eyes lit up when he heard it. The man was funny, "Okay. It's you, follow my dad in the future, you don't have to worry if my dad wants to be loyal or traitorous, there is only one thing that must be adhered to, that is, you can't let my dad find a sister for my mother, understand? ”
There are more people laughing this time, even Mrs. Huang is stunned and looks at Han Chuxue, she just saw that this little girl is not simple, but she doesn't want her to be bold enough to be so bold, she actually said in front of her subordinates that she won't let her father find a little one, which family taught the tough baby.
The corners of Zhong Jian's lips twitched obviously, "Dare to ask Miss, is the young one the master's person or the young lady's person?" ”
Han Chuxue's heart turned around, and she understood what he meant, this person is indeed very good, no matter how much money she wants.
"It's my father's on the surface, if he doesn't have the heart to find a sister for my mother, you will always be my father's housekeeper, do you understand this time?"
Zhong Jian looked at her for a while, and nodded slowly, "Little one understands." ”
Han Chuxue smiled with satisfaction, he was a smart person, and he just made up for his father's shortcomings.
Waving her hand, signaling that he could stand aside, she stretched out her hand again, and hit a woman in her thirties in the second row, this person is not very old among these women, but her face is white and pure, although her eyes are red and haggard, her eyes are firm, and the conversation between herself and Zhong Jian just now, everyone in her row laughed, but she didn't laugh, from beginning to end, she stood straight, it can be seen that he is a person with some background.
"Where did she come from?"
Mrs. Huang was secretly shocked in her heart, this little girl's eyes were too poisonous, and she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Girl, this woman was sold by Changyun, their family once opened a silk village in Changyun, but somehow offended people, the family property was gone, and the whole family was sold as slaves by the government." ”
It turned out to be an official slave, no wonder there is such a temperament.
The Dachang Dynasty did not prohibit human trafficking, and servants like Huang Pozi were registered with the government, which was legal from a legal point of view, although it was necessary to give the government a tax every year, but they could also receive some official slaves from time to time.
You must know that in ancient times with strict hierarchies, if ordinary people broke the law, they were either directly beheaded or sentenced to exile as coolies, and most of the people who would be demoted to slavery were originally from good backgrounds, such as the family members or relatives of prisoners.
Han Chuxue nodded clearly, looked at the woman and asked, "Since your family has a silk and satin village, can you raise silkworms and weave cloth?" ”
The woman replied softly, "The slave's silk village is earned bit by bit by the slave family and the outer son by raising silkworms and weaving cloth. ”
Han Chuxue stroked his little chin, his family is now lacking talents in this area, if he can buy this family, it will save a lot of trouble.
So she turned to look at Mrs. Huang, "What about her other family members?" ”
As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Huang understood what she had in mind, and hurriedly pointed to the little boy in the last row, "The man in her family was sentenced to beheading, no, that is her youngest son, and there is a daughter, who is originally old enough to meet the conditions that the girl said, but ......"
