114 Spending money is like running water
I still can't hide from it.
Yu Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, he suddenly fell, and then this woman appeared in time and twisted her waist again, needless to say, this woman who took the initiative to help herself was the Yao'er in Song Chenxi's mouth.
After washing the mud on his hands, Yu Jin lifted his robe and saw that his face was dark: at the knee joint, there was a black mark, which should have been hit with something like a small stone.
No wonder his right leg suddenly lost strength, and he fell so embarrassed in front of more than 200 beauties, it turned out to be like this.
"This girl, you pinched me just now, what does this mean?" Yu Jin said with a cold face.
The woman, after helping herself to the kitchen, withdrew her hand and leaned against the root of the wall, watching with interest as she scooped water from the water tank alone.
"You are Yu Jin from Yuyao, why, didn't the surname Song tell you that you want to redeem this girl?"
Yu Jin had a chance to see this woman clearly: about sixteen or seventeen years old, medium build, melon seed face, big eyes and nose, concave and convex figure, combing a hanging hair bun, this is a common hairstyle used by girls who have not been out of the house in ancient times, also known as swallowtail head, and with a well-fitting white dress, the whole person looks a little more delicate and aura.
looks like an innocent little girl next door, but the thought of her being able to send a dark device to make herself fall down in silence makes Yu Jin feel a little chill in his heart.
It's a combination of the devil and the angel.
What Yu Jin couldn't figure out the most was what status was this girl in front of him?
Song Chenxi is a Jinyi Wei Qianhu and has a very high status, but this woman actually called him "surnamed Song" directly, could it be that her status is higher than Song Qianhu?
I haven't heard of a woman holding an official position in Jinyiwei.
This damn Song Chenxi, just get a tail, and get an unidentified woman, it seems that the force value is still very good, Yu Jin's head is bigger than two.
"Hey, what are you talking to?" Seeing Yu Jin staring at herself, the woman was obviously a little unhappy, and her tone was a little unkind.
Yu Jin came back to his senses at this time, glanced at her, and said lightly, "You haven't answered Yu's question yet." ”
"Hmph, this girl is the Yao'er you want you to find, but now my name is Qing'er." After Qing'er finished speaking, she said with some dissatisfaction: "I gave you a look just now, why did you turn a blind eye to this girl?" Still want to walk away? ”
"Miss" Yu Jin complained: "I just gave Yu a look, there are not a hundred but dozens of people, at a glance, all of them, the Lord of Qianhu only said one name, and I don't know anything about my appearance, height, and facial features, so I had to look at the flower album, but I didn't expect that there was no flower album, I didn't have the ability to pinch my fingers, and I didn't have the name engraved on your forehead, Miss. ”
Hearing this, Qing'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "There is a little truth in what you said, then this matter is over." ”
"Then how do you call you now, is it better to call you Miss Qing'er, or do you call you Miss Yao'er?" Yu Jin said with some headaches.
"Qing'er, I haven't used the name Yao'er for a long time, I almost can't remember it if you don't say it."
Is that okay? Yu Jin was speechless.
"Ahh
Qing'er suddenly sneered, the lingering and sympathetic voice, it felt like she was doing something to reproduce, and the two happy voices startled Yu Jin.
"You, what's your name?" Yu Jin was anxious and hurriedly stopped.
This is a place to wash hands on the side of the yard, and there is only a screen outside it, and it is so bold that others think that they have done something to her.
Qing'er smiled gracefully, dragged Yu Jin's hand again, and said delicately: "Young Master Yu, people have just made this matter more logical." ”
Han one, you don't want a reputation, you still want it.
If it spreads, it is estimated that he will have to become a romantic character, and when he buys a slave, he and his maidservant will find a remote place and "pick up a gun and get on the horse", isn't it a joke?
When he was helped out by Qing'er, Yu Jin's face sank.
"Young Master Yu, are you alright?" As soon as Qin Niang saw Yu coming in and out, she immediately asked with concern.
When he spoke, there was a tone between his eyebrows, and those women also had a different color in their eyes, and many of them had a look of contempt in their eyes, probably because they looked down on their monkeys.
Yu Jin's face was a little stiff, his old face twitched, and he said a little unnaturally: "Mother Qin, this, how much is Qing'er worth?" ”
"Hehe, Yu Gongzi is really good-looking, Miss Qing'er is one of the best girls in the world, innocent, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything, not much, three hundred taels is enough." Mother Qin smiled like a fox.
What, just a cheating father's goods, the price is several times higher than Xiao Man and Xiao Mu combined?
Yu Jin hurriedly said, "Mother Qin, this, will three hundred taels be a little higher?" Discount it. ”
"Then two hundred and eighty taels, Gongzi Yu, it really can't be less" Qin's mother said with an embarrassed face: "The people brought by Gonggong Chen himself, the slave family didn't dare to open a high price, what was said was the real price, Qing'er is a good girl, pretty, diligent hands and feet, and also knowledgeable, isn't it?" ”
Speaking of the latter, he also deliberately accentuated the sound of the words "informed and interesting".
obviously suspected that he had mistreated Qing'er just now.
That look, as if he didn't pay the money obediently, he was a villain who abandoned the chaos from the beginning, this black pot was really wronged.
I wanted to ask for a little cheap, but when I remembered the three words she said "surnamed Song", I didn't dare to make a mistake all of a sudden, and I didn't put it in my eyes, what kind of rhythm is this?
Yu Jin silently took out the silver
Spending silver is like water, three hundred and eighty taels in the blink of an eye, it is gone, and in the past, it was enough for his whole family to eat for more than ten years.
Then, Yu Jin went next door and bought two sturdy and obedient servants to act as a caretaker, and also bought a stable coachman, fortunately, these male slaves were not as expensive as the previous ones, and the three of them added up to only one hundred and twenty taels.
This is also a lot higher than the outside, Yu Jin bought all the slaves born in the family for the sake of safety, these slaves who were instilled with the idea of servitude as soon as they were born, they were not so concerned, and they did not have so many fancy intestines.
In ancient times, there were not as many contraceptive measures as in later generations, and the children born were a fortune, so the slave owners did not object to the slaves under them to give birth, and sometimes even allowed to be married to those obedient and capable slaves, so that the domestic slaves continued.
In addition, there are so many criminal officials and family members who are enslaved every year, so the slave trade has always existed.
The Ming Dynasty forbade buying good people as slaves and forcing good people to become prostitutes, but it was extremely indifferent to those who were enslaved.
The class mentality is very serious.
After saying goodbye to Chen Hong, Yu Jin gritted his teeth and spent eighty taels to get a carriage, and then returned to Yuanda Hutong with six newly bought slaves.
On the carriage, Yu Jin touched the seriously shrunken money bag and felt a faint pain in his heart.
Six slaves, Xiao Man and Xiao Mu each 50 taels, plus Qing'er that is 380 taels, coachmen Lao Zhao, A Wen and A Wu, the three of them totaled 120 taels, just to buy slaves used 500 taels, good horses 60 taels, plus 20 taels of carriages, a total of 580 taels, and then put some clothes, sundries, furniture, etc.
Nearly 700 taels flew.
700 taels plus 1,500 taels of bribes for the purchase of a house and a bribe to the eunuch Chen Gonggong, more than 2,000 taels will be turned into wealth.
Spending money is like flowing water, Yu Jin suddenly hurts.
Now I don't have any industry, my mother has a little property in Yuyao, but she didn't see the benefits so quickly, and it is difficult to save the fire from far away, and it is difficult to raise yourself with her own nine-grade sesame official's money, let alone raise these six servants.
Plus a horse with a lot of food.
Yu Jin looked at Xiao Man and Xiao Mu, who were obediently beating their legs for themselves, and secretly thought in his heart: It's time to find a way to get money, although there are still more than 1,000 taels in hand, but sitting on the mountain is not a long-term solution after all.
