Chapter Eighty-Eight: Slavery
Chapter 88
The old lady and Situ Xing chatted very speculatively. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In order to take care of the old lady's face, Situ deliberately did not mention the transaction of money.
After all, it is a scholarly family, although the family is in the middle, but the face still needs to be wanted.
The old lady didn't take the initiative to mention it when she saw that Si Tu Xing didn't mention it, so naturally she wouldn't mention it.
The two made eye contact and reached a wordless tacit understanding.
Jin Wansan and the old housekeeper retired and went to the side room to discuss.
What the two discussed specifically, naturally there was no need to say anything, and they didn't have to worry about Situ and the old lady.
About half an hour later, Jin Wansan and the old butler reappeared in the hall. Jin Wansan was like a victorious rooster with his head held high, while the old butler had a bitter face and looked a little unswerving.
But neither Situ nor the old lady cared, smiling and nodding, it was considered to approve the deal.
Seeing that the old lady had poured the tea in front of him, Situ Xing knew that this was the host's gift to the guests, so he stood up with a smile and said goodbye to the old lady, indescribably free and easy.
The old lady looked at Situ Xing, who got up and left, and was secretly frightened in her heart, this son not only has a good chest, but also has five cars. And there is also a sense of murder, a rare bravery.
The old lady seemed to see a trace of bloody rain from him.
The court has been troubled since then, and the old lady said with some emotion.
"Master, this house was sold for a thousand taels of silver. ”
Jin Wansan followed Situ Xing closely, and after walking out of the house, he stepped forward and said with some invitations.
There was a hint of surprise on Situ Xing's face, this price was much less than he expected, and it was somewhat of a robbery while the fire was burning.
It is no wonder that the old butler's eyes are gloomy and his complexion is not good.
However, Situ Xing didn't say anything, since Jin Wansan was in charge, he would not interfere.
This can be regarded as a test he gave Jin Wansan.
Even if Jin Wansan's transaction price was higher than the market price, Situ Xing would not say anything.
He has gained a lot in the secret realm, and he doesn't care about this expense.
Since he was satisfied, Situ Xing was not a procrastinator, so he took out a few silver tickets from his arms and asked Jin Wansan and the old housekeeper to hand over the title deed and house deed, which was regarded as officially buying the house and land. He took out a silver bar the size of five taels from his arms and threw it to Jin Wansan.
As a reward for him, he said with some encouragement and appreciation:
"Well done, this is the master's reward for you. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Jin Wansan pinched the silver bar in his hand and gently weighed it a few times, the official silver in good condition, with very little fire consumption, was enough to cover his busy work for half a month. This Master Situ not only writes poems and articles well, but also has rare generosity.
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile.
Looking at the old style from afar, when he saw the silver in Jin Wansan's hand, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he swallowed his saliva, and his eyes were full of envy.
This old man is really generous, and the reward alone is enough for ordinary families to live for half a year.
"Master, the old lady has packed her bags and will be able to move out of the mansion today. ”
Jin Wansan thought of the silver in his arms, and the expression on his face became more and more vivid.
"There's no rush on this matter. ”
"You still have to pay attention to the slave's affairs. ”
Situ said lightly.
"Master, you just put your heart in your belly, I'll do things with Jin Wansan, you can just look at it!"
Jin Wansan's eyes narrowed, and he shouted confidently. Seeing that Situ had the intention of returning, he hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Master, please come here, catch the car, and prepare to go back. ”
Jin Wansan stretched out his hand to lead Situ Xing, and when he spoke, he had already untied the ox nose rope tied to the stake and put the stepping stool on the car.
With the support of Jin Wansan, Situ got into the ox cart.
"Drive!"
The old whip flicked lightly, making a crisp sound like thunder in the air.
The ox swayed its hooves forward, its wheels spinning, crunching against the ruts. Because of the familiar journey, the time to go back was shortened a lot, and I soon arrived at the county seat.
After passing the East City Gate, it was like a different world.
The lush fields disappeared completely, and the shouts of the vendors and the sound of people boiling mixed with the heat waves.
Accustomed to the seclusion of the countryside, he suddenly heard so many noisy sounds, and Situ Xing instinctively felt a burst of irritability.
This is also the reason why Xianda likes to live in seclusion in the countryside.
The old-fashioned eyes were dripping, looking at the braised meat on the side of the road and swallowing hard, this time there was a lot of oil and water, and he would definitely cut him half a catty of braised pork, drink some soju, and worship his own temple of five organs.
"Get off here. ”
Situ Xing looked at the chaotic crowd around him with some disgust.
He took out more than a dozen coppers from his bosom, intending to settle the rest of the fare with the old man.
"Master, I'll send the two of you to Beishi!"
The old man looked at Si Tuxing with a shy face and flattering, with a cunning glint in his eyes.
"That's it, let's go straight to North City!"
Looking at the old man with a face full of furrows and a nervous expression, Situ couldn't help but chuckle, just wanting to ask for more money.
Situ Xing was too lazy to break his careful thoughts, thinking that the handlebar-style driving technique was really good, and he was also dedicated to taking care of it all the way, so he nodded indifferently.
"Master, just take a look!"
The old man waved his whip with a happy face, and the ox cart moved again.
"Master, Beishi is the largest slave market in Zhibei, young and strong guys, dignified and beautiful maids, there is everything here, and it is said that you can occasionally see a few low-level demon clans. ”
Jin Wansan leaned next to Situ Xing and whispered to him.
"Demon Clan?"
Situ Xing asked in some surprise.
"Although the demon clan is expressly forbidden to buy and sell, Zhibei County is the border of Daqian, and there are conflicts with the demon clan from time to time. These trafficked demon clans are prisoners of war. Because the men's bodies are strong and the women's beauty has always been more sought-after. ”
Jin Wansan whispered.
The old style has driven the car for a lifetime, there is strength in the hand, the reins are very stable, and after the ox cart enters the county, there is a special track, and it is more stable and comfortable to walk.
Slaves in shabby clothes, with grass on their heads, knelt on either side of the road, and on their bodies stood one or more merchants.
"Master, do you want to see the slave?"
"The best maidservant, good and bright, can give birth!"
"Martial apprentices, martial apprentices are strong, physically strong, able to work, and able to protect the hospital. ”
Seeing that a distinguished guest was coming, the slave dealer kept shouting, trying to attract the owner of the money and make Situ Xing stop.
There were also a few slave traders who knew Jin Wansan, who took the initiative to block the way and worked hard to sell their slaves.
Situ Xing glanced at it, these slaves were all thin, their eyes were dull, and occasionally there were one or two sturdy slaves who looked a little imposing, but they were all older, and their bodies were covered with dark wounds, which did not meet what Situ Xing thought at all.
