"You go to the backyard and sit and wait, I'll get you somebody." Wang Da hurriedly left with the notebook, and Liu Chengshuang was puzzled, "Yunxiang, since the shopkeeper has the ability, how can he fall into a situation where he wants to be sold as a subordinate?" ”

Yun Xiang explained with a smile, "No matter how capable he is, ordinary shops will not casually find a stranger to be the shopkeeper." In addition, he dragged his children and daughters, had to rent a house to live in, and had to raise his children, so it was difficult to do things with peace of mind. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Da had already walked in with someone. The two families stood up, and Yun Xiang looked over one by one. This family with many people is very torn, but it can be seen that they are all Zhuang people who have really worked. The old man and the middle-aged man had very simple eyes, and the boy was not small, although he was only twelve years old, he could catch up with the fourteen or fifteen young men. The girl had two small dimples on her cheeks, and she looked festive. She secretly raised her eyes to look at Yun Xiang, and when she saw Yun Xiang looking at herself with a smile, she also laughed, looking quite lively. Yun Xiang nodded secretly, and then looked at the other one.

"Is the child sick?" Yun Xiang saw that the boy was very cute, but he had a cozy look, his face was yellow, and his lips were dry, which was obviously a problem.

The girl was thirteen or fourteen years old, very beautiful, and her figure was also enchanting. Hearing Yun Xiang ask, tears immediately fell, quite a bit of pear blossom with rain. She knelt down and said, "Miss, my brother is sick. Otherwise, we won't be forced to this point, please Miss Okay, I can do anything, just treat my brother. ”

Yun Xiang didn't speak, but looked at the middle-aged man in a long robe, the man's eyes were full of bitterness, and his eyes were slightly red. He sighed and knelt down, "I'm a person, I don't have any other skills, but I have a good abacus, and I have been the shopkeeper of the cloth village for a few years. But after this experience, I finally understand that nothing is more important than my relatives......" His tone choked, he took a deep breath, and said, "I am willing to sell myself to Miss, as long as Miss can heal my son and save his life." ”

Yun Xiang's eyes flashed, she didn't speak, she only looked at Liu Chengshuang. Liu Chengshuang knew that his daughter asked him to make up his mind, so he was a little excited, although he was kind and soft-natured, but he was not stupid, so he had to say something to the front, "Our family is a wealthy farmer." It's not very rich. Therefore, the work may not be easy, you should consider it yourself. ”

As soon as these words came out, the family with many people did not react, but the family here hesitated. The man got up from the ground and asked, "Do you have a young master in your family who wants to serve?" My son also knows a few words, and can be a scholar. ”

Yun Xiang said with a smile, "My younger brother Xiao Wu is seven years old this year, but he plans to study. ”

Seven-year-old young master, there is no requirement for how old the scholar is, and it is even better to be older. The boy in his family is just right at nine years old. It's just that their ambition is not there.

"Both, my son is sick, and I sold myself for my own children. Although the conditions in your family are good, it is also difficult for some strong people to insist that you bear the cost of my son's medicine, so we still quit first. The man dusted off the hem of his clothes, took the boy and went out.

The girl also put away her tears, bowed coldly and withdrew, completely no longer the way she had just looked.

Wang Da stood aside very embarrassed, he blushed and said, "Why don't I find two more for you to come over and have a look?" ”

Yun Xiang shook her head, management talents are hard to come by, "Dad, what do you think?" ”

Liu Chengshuang didn't figure it out, but it was not easy to ask in front of outsiders, so he said, "I think this family is good, let's stay first." I'll talk about the rest later. ”

Yun Xiang nodded, "Uncle Wang, settle the score." ”

"Give fifteen taels of silver to the two big ones, twelve taels to the two small ones, and five taels to the old one. Thirty-two taels of silver. Wang Da quoted the price and looked at Liu Chengshuang's face carefully.

When Liu Chengshuang heard that he wanted more than 30 pieces of silver, he was a little reluctant in his heart, so he frowned. Seeing this, Yun Xiang said, "It's too expensive, it's not the first time we've done business, twenty-five taels." ”

"Miss, alas, twenty-five taels is too little." Wang Da complained, "They came here, and we spent money on food and accommodation, and the cost is not small." How about I wipe the odds for you, thirty taels? ”

In the end, Yun Xiang painted twenty-eight taels and bought the family of five. The family's surname is Shang, and the old man sold livestock when he was young, and he has a very good set of how to match livestock.

"Dad, look at our family, this old land is exhausted by hired workers alone. Can we buy a few cows? Yun Xiang said excitedly, "This cow is bought, and it is the fixed assets of the family." And you can hire fewer people. It's actually a money-saver. ”

A cow can support several adult laborers. Liu Chengshuang was very moved, "But where are the cows going to be put in?" There's no one to take care of it. ”

"Let's build a row of cowsheds on the ground and build a row of houses. Let Grandpa Shang and Uncle Shang and Aunt Shang live there. In the future, Grandpa Shang will be in charge of the livestock, and Uncle Shang will watch over the land. Aunt Shang came over to cook two meals a day, cleaned up the yard, and fed the livestock. As for the two children, they live with us. Follow along to make rouge, and read a book. What do you think? "So that there will not be many more people in the house at once, and there will be people on the other side of the land to take care of them.

Liu Chengshuang nodded, "That's good, I'll find someone to build a cowshed and a house when I go back." But Yunxiang, I still don't understand, why didn't you stay with the person who seemed to be very capable, but instead took a fancy to the silent family? No, the one who wanted us to keep them at first, why did he suddenly turn around and leave? Is it because I said we are farmers? They don't look down on us? ”

Yun Xiangwan, she knew that Liu Chengshuang couldn't hold back, "Dad, if I said that it was the eldest brother who studied at home at that time, they probably wouldn't have left." ”

"Why?" Liu Chengshuang still doesn't understand. "Isn't it the same for everyone to read? Is it because Xiao Wu has no fame? ”

"Although Dad, you said that we are farmers, but we are dressed like this today, and only the landlord's family can wear it like this. So they barely look at it. But in addition to the son of a scholar in their family, there is also a daughter who is unwilling to be a maid! ”

Liu Chengshuang thought of the girl who was crying and bewitching, and suddenly his cold hair stood up, patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, fortunately." ”
