"Shopkeeper Feng, I want to buy someone after I finish all this work, do you see if you can help? Help me find someone who is reliable. ”

"Yuxin, this is the tooth man of Yaxing. You have anything to do with him. ”

"Hello, my name is Liu Yuxin, today I asked Shopkeeper Feng to come to you, I want to ask you for a favor, I want to buy a few houses?" Yu Xin said straight to the point.

"Then please follow me to the tooth shop, you can pick and choose the person who sells your body, I will bring everyone here to affect your business in this restaurant." At first, Zhang Yaren saw that Yu Xin was just a child with a hanging bun, and he didn't take it to heart, but later he heard Yu Xin's words speak in a clear manner, and he burned it, and he looked down on him.

"That's okay, Shopkeeper Feng, you can go with me, you have a lot of experience, give me a palm."

"Okay, I'll accompany you on this trip, girl." Shopkeeper Feng said politely.

When he arrived at a courtyard in the tooth shop, the people who opened his teeth asked the other people in charge of selling their bodies to lead the people who were going to sell their bodies to an empty courtyard.

Zhang Yaren first let Yu Xin and Feng shopkeeper to the house in the courtyard, sat down in the house first, opened the courtyard door, and then asked people to sell themselves in groups of ten, men and women separated, and then came in one by one. When he was on the road again, he had already learned that Yuxin was bought by both men and women. That's why he arranged it that way.

"Group 1, you guys come in first!" The tooth-opening man shouted to the door.

A group of men with their heads bowed, their waists slightly bowed, their clothes in tatters, and their faces haggard came into the courtyard. Perhaps because of the compulsion of life, these people's eyes are a little dull, their faces are dazed, and they have no enthusiasm and desire for the future life. Maybe it's fate.

After looking around, instead of letting these people stand aside. He asked Zhang Yaren to summon the next group of people. The mental outlook of this group of people is obviously better than last month, and there are a few clean and decent people in it, how many related questions did Yu Xin ask? I learned that the more decent people here are a family. The older one is called Zhang Shun, and has two sons, one is named Zhang Youfu, who is twenty-seven years old this year, and has married his wife Feng, and has two children, two male babies, namely ten-year-old Zhang Baole and six-year-old Zhang Guigui, and the other is Zhang Changfu, who married his wife Liao at the age of twenty, and gave birth to a two-year-old daughter, Zhang Baozhu. Their family was originally in the grain business, but then for some reason? Overnight? The family's house and food were all burned by the fire, and Zhang Shun's wife was also killed in the fire. The trees fell and the walls fell and everyone pushed them, and Zhang Shun's pleas had no way out, so he had to move his family and sell himself into slavery. It's just that their family has a condition, that is, they hope that the family can be together. Yu Xin listened to the introductions of each of them. They didn't say anything, just let them stand with the group of people just now. Let the tooth man call the next one again? I people come out. This group is a little different from the previous group.

"Brother asked me to follow my brother, I don't want to be separated from my brother. You bad guys. ”

A little girl about three years old, dragging the clothes of a little boy about ten years old, walked in with the flow of people.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this little girl is with his brother, she can't be separated from her life or death, her mother-in-law who has taught them in the past two days has not been less educated, but there is still no way?" The tooth-opening man came in and was careful.

Yu Xin didn't speak, just waved her hand.

"Miss, sir, please, buy our brother and sister, I can eat less, let my food eat for my sister, my sister will not drag people down. I'm going to work hard. The young man's thin body suddenly knelt in front of Yu Xin and Shopkeeper Feng.

Yu Xin was very satisfied with this young man's appearance, at first glance, he was a smart and thoughtful person, and in such a short period of time, he was already able to distinguish the master-slave relationship. It seems that there is a shallow force to cultivate in the future. Just from the fact that he was called the young lady first, not the old man, you can see that this young man's ability is not ordinary.

"Why do you want me to buy you brother and sister? To know? Your sister is a drag, she's too young to do anything, and I don't think anyone who comes to buy someone will let them buy her. Yu Xin stated the facts she had observed.

"Miss, I won't lose money if you buy it, first of all, I am literate and hyphenated, I will settle accounts and can help you. I will also have some martial arts to protect your family. Besides, my sister will grow up, he can't always think like this, and if Miss buys my sister too, you can get my absolute center and never betray. The young man said with a look of perseverance and sincerity.

"Okay, I'll buy you brother and sister for what you said. Just remember your promise to me today. Yu Xin stared at the boy for a while, and only after making sure that he was not lying, did she agree to his request. and let them both stand behind him together. Then Yu Xin was troublesome, so she let all the men who wanted to sell themselves into the courtyard together. Then say to them. "Say what you will say for yourselves. Any request can also be made. I will choose people according to my requirements. First of all, those who can farm will stand up first.

"Miss, the villain will plant fruit trees, and the villain originally wanted to sign a person's deed of sale, but the villain saw that the young lady was benevolent and righteous, so he also wanted to ask the young lady to buy the villain's wife and daughter. Miss bought the villain's family, and the villain's whole family will repay the lady with a straw ring. At this time, a black-faced man covered in pudding, colorless clothes, knelt in front of Yu Xin.

"Aren't your wives and daughters among these people?" Yu Xin looked at the person kneeling in front of her and asked.

"The villain's wife is in Guyi Lane in this town, and the villain's family has a father and sister and brothers and sisters, but a few days ago, the villain's wife had a miscarriage due to overwork, and because of her weak bones, she has been sick in bed until now, and there are two daughters at home. Because the villain's wife had to see a doctor, and the two daughters were young, the villain's parents and brothers drove the villain's family out. The villain really had no choice, and he was reluctant to give up his wife and daughter, so the villain had to sell himself to his wife for medical treatment. The villain saw that the young lady was kind-hearted, and dared to ask the young lady to buy the villain's family, and the villain's family was separated. ”

"Miss, the fact he said is that he sold himself, so I'm afraid that the third lady is." The man with his teeth stopped and said.

"Uncle Zhang, I want this person, Guo Yu, you follow him to get his wife and daughter, and we will go home together in a while."

"Miss Xie, Miss Xie." Ma Goushun kowtowed, and happily led Guo Yu to pick up his wife and daughter.

After dealing with the matter of Ma Goushun, Yu Xin saw that there were twenty-six people who could farm, and made further observations from each person's clothes to expressions, Yu Xin called out the restless ones and let the people with Zhang Ya take them out. In the end, eighteen men remained.

Yu Xin then asked the people with Zhang Ya to call out all the women who were going to be sold into slavery. Most of the women who came out bent over, thinking that they had been trained in this dental shop. I also asked what I was good at. Then he asked the woman to stretch out her hand, and remove the man who was dressed decently, and whose nails were long, and whose hands were full of black nails.

Among them, there was a girl with a proud face, as soon as she heard that it was a peasant family who bought people, when she was in Mo Shao, she looked arrogant, saying that her predecessor was the official family who had been promoted, and because she wanted to move to the capital, she couldn't bring so many people, so she sent them out. Yu Xin watched them twist the waist of the water snake, shook the handkerchief with a bewitching face, and knew that it was a trouble, and let them go before they could introduce themselves, and those people were also happy when they saw this situation, they didn't want to go to home, they just wanted to think of the big family, and they would be an aunt or something in the future.

Yu Xin chose a few women who were good at cooking and needlework. There were a few little peasant women who thought they had just sold themselves, and Yu Xin looked loyal and honest, so she bought it if she wasn't the troublemaker.

In the end, Yu Xin asked Zhang Yaren to lead out some of the younger children, and selected the children with clean eyes and full of yearning for life.

Then let each child introduce themselves.

"Miss, my name is Hongling, and I'm eight years old this year." He also pulled out the little girl who was standing next to him, dressed in an unrecognizable color and covered with patches, and a little girl who had been wearing a coat with patches, and waited for the little boy to pull them out together.

"This is my sister, named Green Silk, who is six years old this year. My brother is three years old and his name is Jinbao. We are three sisters and brothers, and our family lives in Majiacha next to Daqingshan. My father fell to his death while hunting in the mountains, and my mother didn't know where he went. My uncle thought that the three of us were cumbersome, so he sold us to the tooth shop. Miss, you bought us, I will work hard, and I will let my brother and sister work hard. ”

Yu Xin listened to the little girl's words, and her heart was mixed, didn't they all say that ancient people were honest and honest? How could she have heard so many superb relatives today. But it also made him feel the blood and family affection of his beloved relatives whose blood melted into water. Yu Xin didn't want to listen to every child's introduction, but if she didn't listen, she couldn't do it, if she didn't know about these children, what would she do if something happened? Although it is said that in this ancient time, the government can't control the death of a handful of people and take their deed of sale, but Yuxin's conscience makes her unable to get by. In the end, Yuxin bought all these villains. On the one hand, she feels sorry for their suffering, and on the other hand, Yuxin knows that only the people she has been with since she was a child can be more loyal to herself. Of course, people change, but then they have betrayed themselves, and they are not the good-hearted people.

This time, Yu Xin bought more than 70 people, and after looking at it herself, she asked the shopkeeper Feng to help with the palm, and the shopkeeper Feng took a turn in the crowd, and then put three people without calluses, and they were not talkers, and they looked at the loyal and honest man who was long, and the woman also picked out two, but the woman not only looked at her hands, but also looked at the whole person a few more times. Four more slightly older boys and girls were picked out. After returning to his seat, Shopkeeper Feng carefully explained to Yu Xin the reason why he had singled out these people. Men don't read, they don't get off the ground, and their hands don't have calluses, most of these people are restless, but they are good at dressing up. Although the woman has a thin callus on her hands, but the unwashed fat powder residue in the hair is not from a solid family, this kind of person is used to pretending, and the child, you just need to stare at the eyes for a long time, Bi Jing is still a child, and the experience is not so sophisticated, and it will be revealed after a long time. It is very easy for these people to betray their lords, and as long as their interests reach a certain level, they will abandon their lord's house. This is from a big family, and the experience is the old way, and Yu Xin admires it from the bottom of her heart.

After careful selection by the shopkeeper Feng, Yu Xin finally decided to buy sixty-six people. Thirty-two men, each of whom had ten taels of silver, three hundred and twenty taels in all. Fifteen women, each of whom had eight taels of silver. A total of one hundred and twenty taels. The little boy and the little girl each had seven taels of silver, nineteen people totaled one hundred and thirty-three taels, and everyone spent a total of five hundred and seventy-three taels. Zhang Yaren gave Yu Xin the deed of sale of these people.

Yu Xin had just finished the matter here, and Guo Yu also led Ma Goushun's family back.

"Miss, Ma Goushun's lady is very sick and can't get out of bed, if it weren't for Miss's kindness, I'm afraid that Ma Goushun wouldn't be able to survive long if he sold himself. The slave had no choice but to take care of an ox cart and pull the person over, and asked the young lady to decide. ”

"Miss, save the villain's daughter-in-law. The villain will definitely try to repay the young lady. ”

Yu Xin didn't speak, but just stepped forward and grabbed Zhang's hand and called her pulse, she had not been studying medicine for a long time, and she could only judge that it was a miscarriage that had not been well recuperated, and that it had been guided by a long-term lack of nutrition.

Yu Xin gave the Zhang Pulse, and the woman was very sick, so she could only barely hold up her head and express her gratitude to Yu Xin. Yu Xin only nodded to her slightly. Pat her hand to reassure her.

"Okay, Guo Yu, you take these women and children home first, Guo Cui and I take these men to buy things, remember to hire a few more ox carts, hurry up on the road, and let Yaoyi show Uncle Goushun's daughter-in-law when you get home, give this twenty taels of silver, you pass by the steamed bun shop on the road to buy some first, let them cushion it." Yu Xin handed Guo Yu the silver that pretended to be taken out of the sleeve pocket of the sleeve, but was actually taken out of the space. At the same time, Yu Xin saw that the throats of these people who bought them unconsciously slid when they heard the steamed buns and steamed buns, which was an instinctive yearning for food for people living in a state of hunger.

Yu Xin asked Guo Cui to go to the cattle and horse market to find her grandfather and them, and she and the shopkeeper Feng led more than 30 men to the backyard of Yipinxuan, planning to lead the people there and wait for their father to come and buy things together.

"Yo, Xiao Xinxin, are you going to bring so many people to my Pinxuan to fight or intercept it?" I can tell you that this is the little son of the Jin Shangshu family, you have to weigh it and think about it. Don't lose your wife and break your soldiers when the time comes. Zhao Mingxuan said with a similar face.

This dead demon hasn't appeared for a while, why is it here again today? also gave himself such a disgusting name, the corner of Yu Xin's mouth twitched. Looking at him again, the little boy of the Jingshang family he introduced was not Little Red Riding Hood, who ate his cake on the street that day? also made a pit of himself, this pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Although he later made up for the cake money, and even gave more, Yu Xin just couldn't get over it. Thinking that his two lives combined are more than thirty, it is too embarrassing to let a teenage baby be deceived.

"What's the wind blowing today? actually scraped the young owner back to Yipinxuan, and brought a Shangshu son, the two of them came, but it was really brilliant. The backyard of this Pinxuan is a place to put sundries and firewood, and the two of them are nobles, I listen to the land lord in the yard, thank you for coming. As for me, I didn't want to rob Yipinxuan or Yipinxuan, and I didn't want to fight with anyone, so I didn't bother the little son of the Jin Shangshu family. The two sons should go to the special room of the young owner's house in front. ”

The two of them listened to Yu Xin's sarcastic words. I couldn't help but twitch the corners of my mouth. I thought that this little girl was really sharp-toothed, and she really responded to the words of the ancients, because villains and women are difficult to raise. Yu Xin didn't know what the two of them were thinking, if they knew, they would probably have to reply to the fake gentleman and the villain in person.

Shopkeeper Feng saw that the two of them were not treated well here. So he found a reason to lead the two back to the private room dedicated to the young master of the restaurant. Yu Xin arranged for the two to give one or two silver, so that they could sell some steamed buns and come back to share the food, and everyone heard that there were steamed buns to eat and they were grateful, knowing that they had almost forgotten the taste of white noodles when they ate black noodles. It seems that this time I met a good owner. I must do a good job in the future.

It is said that Zhao Mingxuan and Jin Ruizhe, the son of the Jin Shangshu family, went to the special room, retired from the shopkeeper Feng and discussed things with their respective servants.

"Ruizhe, what do you think of this Liu grassroots family's affairs?"

"Your Highness, judging from the investigation, this Liu Caogen's family is no different from other farmers. However, since her little daughter, Liu Yuxin, was beaten by his mother, it seems that their family has changed. ”

"Tell me about the specifics."

"First of all, their little girl, after waking up, her personality has changed greatly, she used to be cowardly, but now you see, dealing with things, shrewd and spicy. This big Yipinxuan was handled by him in an orderly manner, which can be seen from this incident. Secondly, it is a huge wealth that they called the sudden appearance, although they said that they just dug up two old mountain ginseng, but after all, it is not worth so much silver, that great barren mountain can be worth 100 silver and 20,000 taels, plus their family is now ready to open up the wasteland and buy slaves, this family does not have 40,000 or 50,000 taels of silver, it can't be done. ”

"The silver that his family bought for the land was sold to me a pair of amethyst bead chains, saying that it was passed down from the family. But when their family was kicked out by the Liu family, they left the house, but at that time, I saw that they didn't want to say that I pretended to be their ancestor. At that time, I gave him a total of 1,000,000 taels of silver. But according to my investigation, there is nothing in this world except for this set of amethyst. ”

"Then this thing is even more suspicious, you must know that the palace is also called the Queen Mother, who has a colorless crystal necklace, and their family takes out not only amethyst but also a pair."

"In addition, the most important point is that you found that after the house of Liu Caogen's family was built, the people we sent to investigate could not get close to the Liu family, even the top master could only approach the room of the other members of the Liu family one meter away, and the little girl's room was protected without leakage, and at night the door also used a deep formation, and my people were forced to retreat several times when they wanted to get close, and they returned in vain. It's just that I don't know who protects her so much, I hope it's not those guys. Kim Ruizhe said a little worried.

"I don't think it will be Tai that first, because my people have seen several Dharma protectors of the Medical Poison Sect in the distance who went to Liu's house late at night, when the candles in the other rooms of his house have been extinguished, and only the little girl's room has a faint light, presumably to see her. I can let the head protector of the medical poison faction go to see it. The two seemed to have thought of something, and exchanged a look that only each other could understand. At the same time, they looked at each other with confused eyes. It won't really be what they think, the four-year-old little master, it's incredible.

Anyway, Yu Xin arranged for everyone to rest in the courtyard temporarily, and Guo Cui led her grandfather and his party of three people in.

"Girl, what's the matter with you calling your father? I'm busy with your grandfather and your uncle! I heard Cui Yatou say, you bought dozens of people, what did you buy so many people for, where did our family come from so many places to live. ”

"Dad, there are more and more things in our family, can we just rely on hired people and no one to buy them ourselves? Can you be completely relied upon now? If I don't buy some people and rely on the three of you, I won't tire you to death, so what am I going to do with all that money? Yu Xin was already angry, Wang Jing was complained by her father like this, and her tone was heavier unconsciously.

"Girl, how can you talk to your father? That's your upbringing. Grandpa reprimanded Yu Xin.

"And your son-in-law, this girl is all thinking about the family, can you say it well? Hurriedly reprimanded her, would she be willing to listen? "Grandpa beat the father and daughter fifty boards each.

"Dad, I'm sorry, didn't I just be angry with our young owner."

"Girl, are you okay, Dad doesn't blame you, Dad is also at fault, Dad will compensate you." A certain girl's father hugged his baby and apologized violently.

"Grandpa, I bought these people today because I didn't think about it, now the most important thing is the problem of living, it seems that our family is going to build a house again, this time I plan to build your house together, let's go home and discuss this matter."

"In this way, Yuzhu, you go and get the carriage and horses we picked first, if you can't sell two more carriages, remember to look at the good ones and buy them, and remember to hand over the formalities clearly. After finishing it, meet at the entrance of the town to bring back what you bought. You still have the silver. Old man Ma understood when Yu Xin said the matter halfway, and then took over the arrangement.

"Who among you will drive a carriage?"

"Then the six of you will go along." Old man Ma asked the six men who came forward to follow his son together.

"Uncle, you take this silver ticket and go to the money bank to exchange it for silver in a while, so that you can use it at any time." After speaking, Yuxin handed two silver tickets of one hundred taels to her uncle.

"Yuxin, my uncle has silver on him, don't use it."

"Brother-in-law, we all know that you have silver on you, but you keep the silver in a hurry, and you can take what Yuxin gave you. Now there are many places to use money at home, and sometimes you have a spare one in your hand, so you won't make a mistake, and besides, if we take the money now, don't we have to report it to our family's account at night (now served by two elementary school students)? ”

"Okay, don't be wordy, Yuzhu took the silver and hurried to get down to business, there are still many things at home, how can you have time to grind mushrooms here." Grandpa was upset.

"Son-in-law, you will go to the town to find Foreman Feng and ask him to prepare more materials, so that it is convenient for our family to build a house, and the drawings will be picked up at home when he sends the materials."

Yu Xin gave her father another 2,000 taels of silver when he went out. Now all the money in his house is in his own house.

"Girl, are you done with the restaurant, if you're done, we'll go shopping."

"Grandpa, I'm done, let's go. When you pass by the front door for a while, just say hello to Shopkeeper Feng.

"Okay, let's go to the grain store first, these people can't lack food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"Guest officer, what do you want, we have all the food here." A young man saw Yu Xin's group of people as big as him, and hurriedly ran forward to recruit him.

"Man, let your shopkeeper come, and we'll negotiate a deal with him." Grandpa has gone through the two ends of the family in the town during this period of time, and now it is different, and even the other people in the family have been reborn.

"Good ribs. Please wait a moment when you are seated. The young man was also a discerning man, so he agreed and hurriedly ran to the back hall to find the shopkeeper.

"Guest officer, listen to the young man, you look for me."

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy 500 catties of black noodles, 500 second-class white noodles, 500 rice, 500 brown rice, what price do you want."

"Since the guest officer wants so much, then the black noodles are three wen a catty, the second-class white noodles are twelve wen a catty, the rice is twenty-four wen a catty, and the brown rice is eighteen wen a catty, do you think this price is appropriate?"

"Okay, just according to the price you said, you weigh the rice and noodles and let someone send them to the town for me." Old man Ma estimated the price said by the shopkeeper of the grain shop, and felt that it was very reasonable before he made a decision.

"Grandpa, a black flour three wen money, a total of five hundred catties is one thousand five hundred wen, the second-class white flour twelve wen a catty, five hundred catties is six thousand wen, brown rice eighteen wen a catty, five hundred jin is nine thousand wen, rice twenty-four wen a catty, five hundred jin is 12,000 wen, all rice noodles total 28,500 wen, or 28 taels of silver."

Yu Xin reported the amount of money she counted.

The shopkeeper of the rice shop saw that the little girl said a few words and said the money clearly, but his account room was still busy sweating in his head and hat for half a day. Not only is my heart secretly frightened. After waiting for a long time, the account room finally reported the final amount of money calculated, which was the same as what Yu Xin had calculated earlier. I can't help but sigh in my heart, why don't I have such a capable person. At the same time, I was very envious of Mr. Ma.

"Old man, your granddaughter is good at arithmetic, she must have studied arithmetic."

"Hey, hey!" Old man Ma could only answer with a dry laugh.

"Shopkeeper, you can let your men pack the grain in a while, follow my guys, transport the grain to the gate of the town and put it, and let them guard it." After paying the silver, the old man Ma said to the shopkeeper of the grain store.

When the newcomer came out of the grain shop and went to the cloth shop, he also bought more than 20 pieces of cheesecloth and more than 20 pieces of muslin. I also bought more than 100 pairs of cloth shoes, large and small, anyway, like locusts crossing the border, I emptied all the cheesecloth shoes and cotton cloth in the cloth store.

The last group of people went to the place where the quilt was sold, and bought the quilt from the quilt shop pù, and even the cotton bought more than 300 catties. At the place where I bought quilts, I bought more than a dozen pieces of cloth for quilts. That's how big it is. Old man Ma spent more than a hundred taels of silver on this time, and his heart couldn't help but throb for a while. But when I thought about how prosperous my daughter's family was now, I couldn't help but feel happy. Then a group of dozens of people arrived at the entrance of the town and waited for the carriage.

My uncle was really thoughtful, and bought four, horse-drawn carriages for pulling goods, and two box-drawn carriages for carrying people. The blind date carriage is very simple, but it has an extra square box made of wood with windows than the carriage you haul more goods. By the time Yuxin and Grandpa arrived, my uncle had already loaded all the goods into the carriage that pulled the goods.

Yu Xin led Guo Cui into a box-shaped carriage and sat in the carriage, Yu Xin took advantage of everyone's inattention, and took out a lot of vegetables from the space. If she saw what her master had taken out, she would have been surprised for a long time, because she had seen it many times.

"Here, if you take these peaches to my father, I will be with my grandfather, and I will say that you bought them just now." After speaking, Yu Xin handed a few peaches in her hand to Guo Yu, and instructed her to give them to several other people, as for those who bought them, I'm sorry that my sister is not so kind.
