Chapter 16 As soon as the Jingli brothers and sisters arrived at the door of the Yaxing, a little girl greeted them, with a smile on their faces and ready to speak, Zhu Wenguang directly waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't say much, lead the way and buy a little girl." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhu Wenguang has been studying for many years, and Zhongxiucai has also been a few years, and he is also a lot of respected figures in this city, and he has heard too much flattery from the little guy, so he is too lazy to listen to the sycophantic reception of this welcoming little guy, not to mention that there is something at home, the two wounded are at home, and they just want to hurry back quickly.

It's not that Wen Guang is hypocritical, but the injured person is also his own brother, who grew up together since childhood, and there are relatives near and far emotionally, not to mention that the two were injured to protect their brothers and nephews, and they are also benefactors, and there is a relationship between the second brother. Emotionally, no matter what, I don't allow myself to slack off.

The smile on the little girl's face did not decrease, and he said directly: "Uncle, please, come with me." ”

As soon as he entered the tooth shop, a shrewd young man looked over, dressed as a rich man, as if he recognized Zhu Wenguang, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I wish Uncle Zhu to come, welcome." ”

This young man is the shopkeeper of this tooth shop, surnamed Yu. He didn't know Zhu Wenyuan, but he definitely knew Zhu Wenguang, when he was a child, the surnamed Yu had been fooling around behind Zhu Wenzhong, and he had also seen Wenguang discipline his second brother Wenzhong, and he was deeply impressed by Zhu Wenguang. In recent years, he has learned well, inherited his father's mantle, and taken over the dental business.

Zhu Wenguang has been in charge for a long time, and he was not impressed, and he didn't care about the fox friends and dog friends around his second brother, he couldn't recognize the person in front of him, and he knew that he was the person in charge here, so he said: "Buy a little maid and my nephew, and bring some delicate and clever ones out to have a look." ”

Although Zhu Wenguang's tone was a little arrogant, the shopkeeper Yu was not annoyed, but felt that it should be like this, this is what everyone in this era has engraved in their bones, "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and the reader should be superior.

"I wish Uncle Wait, I'll arrange it, it's more satisfying than calling Uncle." Saying that, Shopkeeper Yu instructed the left and right to watch the tea on the seats, and went to the back to handle it himself.

Zhu Zhenguo said in his heart, I wish the uncle is satisfied, but I wish the master is satisfied. Of course, it's just a matter of muttering it in my heart, but it's not okay to say it.

After a while, Shopkeeper Yu came out with a few little girls, the eldest was seven or eight years old, and the younger one was three or four years old. Uncle Wen Guang glanced at a large number of people and pointed to a seven or eight-year-old girl with a big waist and said, "Fourth brother, this girl is good." ”

Just as Wen Yuan was about to nod, Zhu Zhenguo hurriedly answered: "It's not good, it's not good, it's not good, it's so stout, it looks like a child from a big family, and it will definitely not serve people." ”

Zhu Zhenguo really doesn't want to find a sturdy maid who works, what he wants in his heart is a girl who can study at night with red sleeves, preferably Lin Daiyu or something, then it would be better. There is no modern girl who is gentle like water, and when you come to this world, you must see the gentleness of women.

Uncle Zhu pointed to another one that looked thicker, and before he could speak, Zhu Zhenguo hurriedly said: "It's not good, it's not good, it's not dark, I think it's a boy if I don't look closely." ”

Zhu Zhenguo really didn't want to comment on a bunch of girls like this, for his modern psychology, it was really a bit inhumane, so he said directly to the shopkeeper Yu: "Shopkeeper, is there any delicate, weak and obedient one, buy it back and it's easy to train, I can't stop these big shoulders and round waists." ”

Generally, the wealthy families in Qingshan County buy servants based on the standard of being able to work, mainly in this small place, each person is a person's ration, and it is really luxurious to buy and raise those who can't work at home, and only those big nobles outside will buy some of the good ones and go back to raise dancing and singing songs.

The shopkeeper Yu is also a human spirit, how can he not understand the thoughts of Zhu Zhenguo, a six-year-old child, and immediately said: "The villain here is mostly this sturdy slave, but there is indeed a different girl recently, who is sold from the area of Jingli, and the two brothers and sisters who came together said that they were sold because of something at home, but it is also possible that the way is a little wrong, uncle, you see?" ”

Zhu Wenguang didn't take his nephew's play seriously, and didn't stop it, which meant that he obeyed him. Seeing the shopkeeper say this, I probably know in my heart that this girl is not likely to come in the wrong way, but I am afraid that she is not coming in the right way, and I don't care, Jingli Mansion is the directly governed government of Zhongjing City, not less than one or two thousand miles away from this Qingshan County, people have already come here, what else can I worry about, if I don't buy it, someone else bought it, I don't care: "You bring it and look at my nephew." ”

Shopkeeper Yu nodded yes, and then walked quickly to the back for a while and brought in a girl, the girl stood in front of several people, and looked carefully, but she was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her skin was ruddy and snow-white, not like a daughter raised by ordinary people. Zhu Zhenguo was really satisfied this time, and said with a smile: "This is good, uncle, this is good." ”

Zhu Wenguang listened to his nephew's words, looked at this girl very shy, twisted and pinched a little afraid, and said to her: "Can you serve people?" ”

The girl was only five or six years old, half a head shorter than Zhu Zhenguo, and she didn't look up, and said in a very thin voice: "Back to the master, the slave will be." ”

Listening to the way this girl replied, Zhu Wen also knew that this was the etiquette of human tooth training, but it was not Qingshan's Yu shopkeeper, Yu shopkeeper sold here is labor, how could he train such a etiquette, it must be trained by the people of the county government outside. Nodding his head, he said, "What's your name?" ”

"The slave maid is called Xiao Lian, and her family name is Yun." Although the little girl replied, the cringe of her body movements also showed her fearful heart.

Zhu Wenguang nodded and took a fancy to it, turned his head and asked, "Shopkeeper Yu, what is the price of this girl?" ”

Shopkeeper Yu saw that Zhu Wenguang had taken a fancy to him, business is business, no matter what kind of friendship there is, he hurriedly smiled: "Uncle, this girl is twenty taels in my hands, you see??" ”

Zhu Wenguang also knew the businessman's ways, and said directly: "Generally, female babies are sold for eight or nine taels, and this female baby is worth twenty taels." ”

Shopkeeper Yu hurriedly explained: "Uncle, you see that this girl can be compared in general, trained properly, and knowledgeable, if this is in the county town, I am afraid that it will be sold for fifty taels, and the villain also picked up a cheap one in the hands of acquaintances." ”

Zhu Wenguang didn't say much, after all, he was a scholar, and it would be undignified to bargain with the street vendors, so he said directly: "Let you take advantage of it, if it weren't for my nephew's liking... Or maybe take the contract. ”

Shopkeeper Yu smiled even more, and hurriedly took out the deed of sale that had been prepared in his arms before handing it over, Zhu Wenguang took the contract, took a closer look, and saw that the official seal on it was complete, folded it and put it away, took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to Shopkeeper Yu. The transaction is completed.

Zhu Wenguang picked up Zhu Zhenguo, Zhu Wenyuan also went to pull Nayun Xiaolian, and the shopkeeper Yu walked two steps quickly to the front of a few people to prepare to send off guests. I saw that Xiao Lian, who had been bowing his head and not saying a word, suddenly plucked up his courage and said: "Uncle is good, the slave brother is also here, can we buy it together." ”

After speaking, Xiao Lian knelt directly on the ground, tears in her eyes. Zhu Wenguang didn't react for a while, put Zhu Zhenguo down again, and asked, "Brother?" ”

Xiao Lian raised her head at this time, and said pitifully with a pair of big eyes: "The slave's biological brother can still read and write, and his body is also strong." Uncle is good, uncle is good. ”

Zhu Wenguang is also a soft-hearted person, but his family has only been tax-free for a few years, and he has not saved much savings. Although there are many servants in the Zhu family, they are all hired by the same clan, that is, long-term workers, and there is really no slave and maid who has been bought, and buying slaves and maids is still a bit of a luxury for the current Zhu family. For a while, Zhu Wenguang didn't know what to do.

Zhu Zhenguo said without hesitation: "Then let the shopkeeper call your brother out to take a look." ”

Shopkeeper Yu was obedient and hurriedly turned back to the back, he was proficient in judging the situation, just now he knew the love of these two showmen for his nephew, this little master of the Zhu family spoke, then it was a certainty, and the business came again.

Zhu Wenguang just shook his head and sat down again after listening to his nephew's words, as long as this baby Wenquxing nephew is happy, there is no way to have no money. Zhu Wenyuan decided everything with the eldest brother, and also sat down and waited. Zhu Zhenguo actually knows what is in his uncle's heart, but he really can't bear to separate his brother and sister, doing this can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good, so as not to buy back a maid who washes her face with tears every day, and it is also troublesome to watch.

After a while, the shopkeeper Yu came out with a boy, the boy was slightly thin, but he was also born well, but he was slightly darker, but his figure was half a head taller than Zhu Zhenguo, and he should be two years older than Zhu Zhenguo. The facial expression is also a little generous and decent.

Zhu Wenguang was also satisfied with it, and said directly: "What price." ”

"Uncle, even if this boy is thirteen taels for you, it can be regarded as a gift." Shopkeeper Yu's face was full of flattering smiles, and his figure bowed slightly to look full of respect.

"Alas... Bring the contract as well. "It's not expensive to buy a manservant for thirteen taels, after all, it is also a lifetime of free labor for ordinary people.

Shopkeeper Yu hurriedly took out the deed of sale, Zhu Wenguang took it and folded it directly in his arms and said, "I didn't bring enough money today, you will send someone to me to get it tomorrow." There was an unmistakable reading pride in his tone.

Shopkeeper Yu also knew that Uncle Zhu Xiucai would not rely on his own dozen taels of silver, so he hurriedly laughed: "Uncle said that's it." ”

The group hurried out of their teeth and walked back to their homes on the street.
