Wu Abbot said: "Okay, let's follow the price of the slaves and maids hired in my house." Serving tea and pouring water, cleaning the house, I give thirty-two yuan of money every year, then these five hundred and sixty-nine are ......" crackling a few calculations, "that is, almost fifteen years and eight months." The distribution to the eldest lady and Miss Yun'er is two people, and each of them is seven years and nine months. That's it. ”

Liu Yongdao: "There is Lao Wu Zhisi." Is it necessary to write a contract? ”

"Contract?" Wu asked.

"Oh, it's paperwork." Liu Yong said with a smile.

"That's natural, Ma Daguan, what do you think?" Wu Oshi asked the motor.

"Since it is to repay debts and become slaves, it is natural to have a document in action. Let's ask Wu to write. The motor agreed.

"Then Wu will be the one to do." Wu Oshiji took out the pen, ink and paper from the poster bag. According to the accounts he had just calculated and the time he had been a slave, he wrote them down on paper one by one. Then show it to the motor and Liu Yong respectively.

The motor had nothing to object, but Liu Yong said: "Wu Zhisi, you only wrote about being an ordinary slave and maid, but you didn't write about the specific work, that is, the specific work, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Wu Absi took it and looked at it, and said with a sneer: "Oh, that's Wu's negligence." Then ask Ma Daguan to explain the work that the two ladies have to do. ”

The motor frowned, a little displeased, but since he wrote the paperwork, he had to rely on Liu Yong.

"Well, serve tea and pour water, clean the house......"

"Slow, who is this tea pouring water for, is this cleaning house talking about the outside of the house or the inside of the house." Liu Yong corrected.

"Oh, I said Erlang, can you use it so cumbersome?" The motor is impatient.

Liu Yong smiled kindly and said, "Big official, my sister-in-law and Yun'er went to you to be slaves to pay off debts, not sold to you, these are naturally written in the paperwork." Isn't it Oshiji Kure? ”

"Exactly, so as to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future." Wu Abbot agrees with Liu Yong's statement.

"That's good." Mada rolled his eyes, "Then the two of them are in charge of serving water and pouring tea for guests in the front hall of my main house, as for cleaning the house, then clean the front hall by the way, not outside the house." That's it. ”

Liu Yong smiled and nodded, "Okay, then please write it down!" ”

"Can I take them away now?" Mada saw Wu Oshiji finish writing and said.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Why should the big officials be in a hurry? Don't forget that this house is now the home of the big officials. Ma said: "I don't plan to live in this house, send someone to repair it and buy it at a good price." It's only safe if you have money in your hands. The implication is that the house is unsafe.

"That is, the house is a big official, and you can deal with it as you want. I have no problem with that. However, this instrument still needs to be improved. Liu Yong said very politely. Because there seems to be another person in his head: "When talking about business, you should be harmonious and make money." Whether this is human speech or subconscious, he has not yet figured out.

Seeing Liu Yong so polite, although Ma Ma was impatient, he still held back.

"Erlang, you can look at this paperwork!"

"How can I do it? I want the two of us to watch it. ”

"Okay, so what else do you want to write?" Ma Ma said while sitting back on the Taishi chair, "It seems that I can't leave for a while, Wang Erguang, serve tea." ”

Wu Abshisi asked, "Erlang, what else do you want to write?" ”

"Charge the company, and also write the penalty clause for breach of contract." Liu Yong said.

"You say I remember."

"First, if the employer does not assign the work to the slave according to the work prescribed by the instrument, the slave has the right not to do it. Second, employers are not allowed to beat or insult slaves. If there is a slave, he has the right to renounce his slavery and pay his debts. Thirdly, the servant who is to be guaranteed food shall not be denied food without a reason. If so, the slave has the right to renounce his slavery to pay his debts. Fourth......

Liu Yong's two, three, four, five, and six were listed one by one, and the motor who listened to them was dumbfounded, and Wang Erguang also craned his neck, like a dumb duck. Li Xinniang and Yun'er were both surprised and happy in their hearts.

"I said Erlang, why are all the rules and regulations you said restrain me." Eventually, the motor heard something different.

Liu Yong smiled: "No, then I'll talk about the rights of employers." He made a list of several more, and Wu Absi wrote them down one by one.

Although his rights are not as many as the rights of a slave, the motor is really unwilling to entangle, not to mention that he has thought in his heart, what bullshit paperwork, when he arrives at his house, he will have to listen to him.

And Liu Yong was afraid that the motor would go back on his word, so he set the terms so carefully to protect the rights and interests of Li Xinniang and Yun'er. Let them suffer less under the roof of others.

"Now it's all right." The motor stood up from the Taishi's chair.

"Almost." Liu Yongdao.

"Then let's go, and ask Erlang to choose another place to live."

"That's nature, this is no longer my Liu Yong's home, and I naturally won't stay here. However, the big officials. Liu Yong wanted to speak and stopped.

"Erlang, this document has also been written, what else do you have to say?" The motor asked.

Liu Yong smiled, pondered for a moment, and said, "I want to do business with big officials." ”

"Do business with me?" The motor felt that he had misheard. Just because of the weak body in front of him, what qualifications does he have to do business with him?

"Exactly, I want to make a deal with the big officials." Liu Yong's words are categorical.

"Oh?" Madahaha laughed, "Then I'd like to hear about it." ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Big official, I want to buy the slaves in your family." ”

"What? You buy slaves in my house, I heard you right. The motor looked at the crowd, and finally looked at Wang Erguang and laughed. Wang Erguang said with a smile: "Big official, even if you heard it right, what this kid said is nonsense." ”

Liu Yongdao: "Nonsense? I, Liu Yong, am not confused, I am serious. ”

Seeing that Liu Yong was serious, Ma Ma stopped laughing, looked at Liu Yong intently, and after a while, asked, "Then tell me how to buy the slaves in my family." Which one did you buy? ”

Liu Yong nodded and raised his eyes to look at Wang Erguang. Seeing him, he had goosebumps all over his body, and his heart trembled, so he couldn't help but shrink his neck and swallow saliva.

Liu Yong laughed and said, "Steward Wang, I don't want to buy you, you don't have to be afraid." I'm going to buy the two slave girls on this paper. ”

As soon as the words fell, the motor rubbed and stood up. Li Xinniang and Yun'er looked at each other even more, not knowing what kind of medicine Liu Yong's gourd was selling. But Wu Abshiji watched with interest.

"What did you say?" The motor asked.

"I said, I'm going to buy the two slave girls on this paper." Liu Yong said.

When the motor heard this, his little eyes purred, and he suddenly smiled: "Erlang, you are joking with me." If you have money, why bother to make such a big detour, just pay back the money. There's no need for your sister-in-law and Miss Yun to be slaves for me to pay off my debts. ”

"I'm serious." Liu Yong said.

"Well, you can take the money now, five hundred and sixty-nine. and these two slaves are yours. The motor was triumphant. He knew that Liu Yong couldn't come up with the money at all.

Sure enough, Liu Yong directly said that he had no money now.

"No money? So you buy a fart? Mada laughed, and Wang Erguang and the two servants laughed together.

Liu Yong's kind face showed a shallow smile, but he remained silent. Wait until the motor has laughed enough, and then say, "So I'm going to do business with the big officials!" ”

"Then you can tell me, how to do this moneyless business with our big officials?" Wang Erguang just wanted to see Liu Yong's jokes.

Liu Yongdao: "I want to sign a transaction document with a big official, as for the money, I can pay you within the specified time." ”

"Oh? Then you can tell us more about it. "There seems to be some interest in the motor.

"Okay, then please listen to the officials. These two slave girls are already high-ranking officials, and they will have to work for you for seven years and nine months to repay the five hundred and sixty-nine guan owed to you, that is to say, this and the two slaves are worth five hundred and sixty-nine guan. I can add thirty to this and buy these two slave girls. What do you think, Ma Daguan? ”

"Add thirty?" The motor quickly calculated in his mind, and thought to himself: "This kid has written me so many rules and regulations, if I can't help it, it won't be interesting to let him sue the official." Since he wants to add money, why don't I go with the flow. It's just a pity for the two beautiful girls. But I need more money. What woman can't buy if you have money? Then he smiled and said, "If you add thirty times, I can still consider it." ”

"Okay, deal." Liu Yong is waiting for the motor to say this. He had already calculated it, and the average person would double the price increase. The motor really hit.

Hearing Liu Yong's promise, the motor regretted not saying more. But the gentleman will do what he says, not to mention that Wu Zhisi is present, and he is a well-known figure in the county, so it is not easy to change. I had to ask, "But what about your money?" ”

Liu Yongdao: "This is what I want to discuss with the big officials." ”

"How to discuss? What to discuss? The motor smiled again.

"Let's discuss when I will pay you the money I paid for the slave girl." Liu Yong said.

"Oh, I see, Jiro means that there is no money to pay me now, do you want to make an appointment with me?" The motor asked.

"That's exactly what it means."

"Then when do you say you'll pay me?"

"Half a year later."

The motor frowned, groaned slightly, and asked, "Erlang, you can get together more than five hundred and ten yuan in half a year?" I don't believe it. Unless pie in the sky. ”

"You don't have to worry about this." Liu Yong's six-month deadline was carefully considered. If the time is too long, I am afraid that the night will be long and I will dream too much. The time is too short, and I can't scrape together so much money. Although it took half a year to get such a large sum of money. But he can only fight for it now.

"Okay, I'll give you half a year." The motor thought for a moment and said. He still decided that Liu Yong couldn't get the money. He knew the Liu family very well and knew that Liu Yong had no relatives. And I've been lying down for two years, I'm afraid I don't even have friends. In just six months, it is not a pie in the sky that has to be robbed.

"Okay, then we'll sign the paperwork. Please write it. Liu Yong achieved his goal, a little excited. For some reason, there was always a belief in his heart that he would definitely earn this money in six months' time.

Wu Abshiji was about to write, but was stopped by the motor.

"Erlang, but I have two conditions."

"Please."

"One, the two ladies have to live in the house in my county town, so that they don't run away or have an accident. Second, if you can't pay within half a year, then I'll have to dispose of the two ladies casually. ”

"What do you mean?"

"That is to say, if you can't come up with the money in the future, all the terms of the previous documents will be invalidated, and if I want to accept them as concubines, then accept them, and you can't interfere anymore." Ma Ma said, looking at Li Xinniang and Yun'er with squinting eyes.

Li Xinniang and Yun'er looked at Liu Yong nervously. Liu Yong thought to himself: "It seems that the motor has already beaten his sister-in-law and Yun'er's idea." If you are a slave in his house, let alone four years, I don't think it will take four months to definitely be unspoken by him. Therefore, he resolutely can't let his sister-in-law and Yun'er stay in his house for a long time. But, as long as I sign the paperwork, then my sister-in-law and Yun'er will be my people. With Wu Zhisi as a guarantee, forgive him for not daring to make a mistake. After making up his mind, he said, "Okay, but I also have one condition." ”

"You say."

"In the past half a year, my sister-in-law and Yun'er have to give me good food to drink. They can't be wronged in the slightest. You can't even touch a finger of them. ”

The motor laughed and said, "I can still endure it for half a year." ”

Liu Yong looked at Xiao Yingying, "This ......"

"Huh? I don't want this kid. One more person is a burden, and she's not part of our business. The motor saw Liu Yong's thoughts, decisively vetoed it, and sealed it with a word.
