Chapter 0170: Xiaohuan buys a maid
"Wrongdoer!"
This scene can make Chen Mu disgusted.
I can't wait to tell others my secret, but Chen Mu has always felt that his weaknesses and hardships are easy not to say.
So he decided to put up with it.
Pretending to walk to the backyard easily, he saw a luxuriously decorated carriage parked at the door of the lame man's house, Chen Mu walked over curiously and took a look.
At this time, Lixiang came out of nowhere and said: "The old bustard of Wangyuelou, what is the name of the drunken fairy daughter Orange Girl, come to see Yu Linglong." Hmph, I found out that your backyard is really lively, and you actually have some pavilion girls. ”
Chen Mu frowned: "You girl, you must be sarcastic when you speak, it's even worse than Xiaohuan." ”
Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, and looked around: "Where is Xiaohuan, why don't you see her?" ”
"I'm going to buy a maid." Zhong Lixiang teased: "Xiaohuan said, now waiting for an adult, not to mention, but also to wait for a child, she can't be busy alone." ”
Chen Mu's brows furrowed even tighter: "It seems that Xiaohuan is not as good as you." After Li Shi came, what did she take care of? I see that Xiao Li Shi has helped her a lot. This Nizi paid twenty taels of silver from Xiaomei last time, and she was in a hurry to get an account to spend it. I gave her a total of 23 taels and 7 yuan, and I guess she bought a maid for a maximum of 15 taels. The rest must have been hidden by her. ”
Zhong Lixiang smiled: "You let Li Xian save more than 1,000 taels in Xiaohuan's name, aren't you afraid that she will abscond with the money?" ”
Chen Mu frowned: "I'm not too worried about this, Xiaohuan is not that kind of person." She wouldn't betray me unless there were exceptional circumstances. ”
Zhong Lixiang looked at Chen Mu with a curious gaze: "I think you are becoming more and more interesting." Sometimes...... Kind of like my father. ”
The corners of Chen Mu's mouth jerked: "From then on, if you call me Dad, I won't object." ”
"Alas! You're taking advantage of me! "The girl is on fire.
Chen Mu ran away.
The girl chased her out for a long time.
The two of them ran out of the General's Mansion through the back door, one after the other.
The guards guarding the door were startled when they saw that Chen Mu had run out, and thought that something big had happened.
But as soon as Chen Mu ran out, he slowed down, and Youzai Youzai walked on the street, and Zhong Lixiang rushed out after him.
Chen Mu's arm moved slightly, and the girl's hand rested on the crook of his arm.
The two walked all the way to the West Market, and they had a tacit understanding, and they didn't say a word, but they both turned their eyes sharply, looking for Xiaohuan's figure.
Soon after, I saw Xiaohuan selecting maids in the place where the slave traders gathered, and a middle-aged slave trader sat in the car, and saw Xiaohuan dressed gorgeously, jumped out of the car and waited diligently.
Chen Mu and Zhong Lixiang stood side by side not far away, just enough to hear Xiaohuan's chattering, she had already chosen a thirteen-year-old slave, not outstanding, but not ugly. Slave traders deliberately dressed the petty slaves in clean clothes to increase their appearance. Such a slave dealer still has a little bit of human flavor, Chen Mu once saw the little slave tied up with a rope and thrown to the side of the street, all of them in tattered clothes and unkempt, which is unbearable to look at.
The reason why Chen Mu wants to abolish the "evil law" is to target these people.
"This girl, you look like the housekeeper of a big family, right? Hey, just this little slave in my hand, if you don't give thirty taels, it's just a bully. ”
Listening to the accent, it turned out to be a merchant near the eastern part of Youzhou, Hebei, which was later near Tianjin Wei.
Xiaohuan said in a loud voice: "Thirty taels? You knock off the bamboo, you think I'm an old stall, I'll give you ten taels, do you sell it? ”
"Your price is not real, I sold it all the way from Youzhou, how much money is entangled, you can also calculate it for me. If it is less than twenty-eight taels, you can choose this. There's something else on my side. ”
"No, I want this, eleven taels, do you sell it?"
"Listen to the accent, your home is from Luoyang, right? A mouthful of elegant words. ”
"How?"
"You are from Luoyang, you can't know the price. That's it, girl, I think everyone understands people, and I don't want to be dangling, and you can follow me. Let's take a price, twenty taels! How about it, you see my brother, I'm really not real? ”
"Fifteen taels."
"Girl, go half of the road to the sky." The slave dealer turned around and sat in the car.
"Hmph, don't sell it!" Xiaohuan stamped his feet, turned his head and left.
Although Xiaohuan turned his back to Chen Mu at this time, Chen Mu also felt that Xiaohuan's big eyes were dripping and turning.
And the slave trader also looks very nervous.
Both of them seemed to be waiting for the right moment.
Xiaohuan's pace of departure is getting slower and slower.
Chen Mu secretly said that it is not good, I am afraid that I will not be able to take it for fifteen taels.
The slave dealer smiled and shouted, "Nineteen taels, how?" ”
Xiaohuan stopped: "Sixteen, sixteen at most." ”
The slave trader waved his hand: "Forget it, you better go, I can't do anything about this deal." Pay for death. ”
Then Xiaohuan spared half a circle, walked back, and said to the slave trader: "Seventeen taels." ”
"Not for sale." The slave trader did not lift his head.
Xiaohuan was annoyed, pinched his waist and said, "Alas, I said slave traders, I guess you definitely don't know who I am." ”
"Who are you, you still want to rob?"
"I'm telling you, I'm polite to talk to you about the price, that's to give you face. I'll give you seventeen taels, if you don't sell it, do you believe it or not, I'll find someone to talk to you? ”
"Huh? Girl, you can't bully outsiders, besides, you are also from the Central Plains, and we are half of our fellow countrymen. The slave trader rolled his eyes, and then said softly: "Forget it, forget it, eighteen taels, this price is that you come to buy it, and if you change someone else, I won't sell it if you kill me." ”
"Seventeen taels and five cents."
"......" The slave trader's face was ugly, he thought about it, and said dejectedly: "Okay, count me unlucky." Then you leave her outfit for me. I wear it for the other slaves. ”
"Hmph, it's just a tattered garment."
Xiaohuan naturally didn't like the set of clothes on the little slave, so the two took off the little slave's coat, and Xiaohuan walked back with the maid who only wore a belly pocket.
Although the little slave maid was thin, she had already begun to develop, how could she not be shy, but Xiaohuan didn't care, and led her through the city. The maid walked with a bitter face and her hands holding her heart.
Chen Mu shook his head helplessly, and threw Zhong Lixiang two coins of silver: "Buy a random piece of clothing and put it on the child first." ”
Zhong Lixiang acted quickly, and her going to buy clothes was similar to snatching clothes.
When I arrived at the garment shop, I left two coins of silver, didn't say a word of nonsense, grabbed a piece of clothing and left.
Maybe the dress she took away was a little more expensive, and the shopkeeper felt that the money was not enough and wanted to stop it, but seeing that Zhong Lixiang had a proud temperament and a knife around his waist, he endured it again. After all, the ready-to-wear store has a large profit, even if it is sold cheaper, he still makes money.
"Xiaohuan, stop."
Xiaohuan thought that the maid was walking slowly, so she pushed her behind. As a result, he happened to be bumped into by Chen Mu.
"Oh, ......, sir, why are you here?"
Chen Mu had a cold face, stretched out his hand and said, "There are six taels and two dollars left." ”
The first is the latest.
