Ye Chang waved his hand until his brother's figure was no longer visible, and he did not put down his hand.

Ye Shu's admonition and confession, although it was a little out of his mind, but he felt the brotherly affection of the fist and the fist very clearly.

Looking back at Liu Gui again, Ye Chang felt even more disgusted in his heart.

probably also felt that Ye Chang was in a bad mood, Liu Gui shrunk his neck, and walked lightly.

Following Ye Chang into the market again, they went straight to Qin Qinshou's shop, and when they saw Ye Chang coming to visit, Qin Qinshou was very surprised: "How can Ye Langjun be free today?" ”

"Sending my brother to service, I just came to visit the shopkeeper Qin, about the paper workshop, and there is something to worry about the shopkeeper Qin, I hope the shopkeeper Qin will help me hire a craftsman master......"

When Ye Chang said this, he saw Liu Gui pricking up his ears and listening, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Liu Gui, you go to the street to inquire which one has chicken seedlings for sale and what the price is." ”

This is clearly to take Liu Gui away, Liu Gui secretly hated in his heart, but he had to leave. But he went out and left, but in fact, he went around in a small half circle, leaning against the wall and returning to the front of Qin Ji Bamboo Shop.

"If you want a skilled craftsman to try my paper-making method, you don't need to be very skillful, just be obedient and honest...... The shopkeeper Qin has a wide range of travels, so he must know such a character, right? ”

"Ye Langjun praised it falsely, the servant and the papermaker do not know each other, but since Ye Langjun entrusted it to the servant, then the servant will definitely find Ye Langjun for him, at the latest...... There will be an answer within ten days. If Ye Langjun wants to invite a craftsman, he must also draw up a contract, and the servant can recruit it for Ye Langjun. ”

"Double the salary, and give another 10% dry shares."

"Huh? Ye Langjun is generous, he is really willing. ”

"If you are willing to give up, you can only get if you are willing to give......"

"The servant is waiting for Ye Langjun's paper to be made, and I wish Ye Langjun a fortune...... Although Ye Langjun has noble ambitions, if the court has a famous reward, Ye Langjun should not shirk it......"

The voice was still heard very clearly, Liu Gui was about to take a sip, when he suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and then he saw the black and strong Lin Xiqi standing in front of him with a strange smile.

"Ah, why did I turn back again, I still have to ask where the chicks are sold......"

Liu Gui muttered and turned to leave, Lin Xiqi saw that he was far away before returning to the house: "Ye Langjun, there is something wrong with your servant, just eavesdropping here." ”

"This is the second thing I want to ask the shopkeeper Qin for help." Ye Chang sighed: "Speaking of the misfortune of the family, this fang is the eyeliner that the clan uncle stuffed into my family, in order to plot my family's belongings." Bring him here today, and ask the shopkeeper to sell him. ”

"Ah, that's the case?" The Tang Dynasty allows slaves to be bought and sold, and it is common for those disobedient and dishonest slaves to be resold, Qin Qinshou was not surprised that Ye Chang was going to sell Liu Gui, and his face was angry: "It's really too deceitful, Ye Langjun should directly break his legs and let him dare to eat inside and out!" ”

"Be a man and leave a line." Ye Chang said with a smile.

Although he smiled, his eyes were very cold, Qin Qinshou suddenly understood, and nodded: "I'll invite someone to come...... Xi Ta, go and invite Lao Duan here. ”

Liu Gui didn't know what happened after he left, he randomly inquired about which house had chicken seedlings for sale, and turned back. found that in addition to Ye Chang, Qin and Lin, there was a stout man sitting in the store, and behind the big man there were two people who looked like green-skinned thugs.

"Is that him?" When the stout man saw Liu Gui, he asked Ye Chang.

"Exactly."

"It's too old to be counted like this."

"It's in the prime of life, how can you talk about getting old?" Ye Chang said with a smile: "I just want to send away Diao slaves, and the shopkeeper Duan wants to lower the price and say directly, why bother looking for some reasons, twenty runs, twenty times to get a strong slave." ”

"Okay, Ye Langjun is refreshing, I don't be wordy, my Duan Dade's favorite is Shuangli people."

The man who called himself Duan Dade stood up, looked at Liu Gui, and laughed fiercely.

Liu Gui was stupid, and he understood what was going on at this time, he was stunned, and then howled: "Eleven Lang, you can't sell me, I'm not your slave, I'm a long ......."

As he was talking, Ye Chang had already taken out a piece of paper and placed it in front of Duan Dade: "The deed is here." ”

Liu Gui's words stopped abruptly.

Which one he belongs to depends entirely on whose hands his deed is, in other words, this deed determines his fate.

"Diao Nu, can I sell you, but it's not up to you to make up your own mind." Duan Dade looked at Liu Gui and said with a smile: "Ye Langjun is a soft-hearted person at first glance, that's why you are so arrogant, when it comes to my master, if you are still not interested, then I have to let you see my methods!" ”

Under his gaze, Liu Gui was like a mouse meeting a cat, scolding in his stomach, and he couldn't speak!

"Sell this guy, I lack a person in my family, if the shopkeeper Duan has a suitable one, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl or a **-year-old girl, I want it." Ye Chang said again.

"It's a coincidence, I have exactly two small guys in my hands, but although the little guys are not worth the strong men, the price is not cheap, fifteen times, what does Ye Langjun think?"

Ye Chang was still somewhat resistant to this kind of human trafficking, so he was unwilling to bargain with Duan Dade, just thinking that it would be solved as soon as possible. At that moment, he nodded: "You call me to see, don't be too stupid, and don't be cunning in elementary school." ”

"Don't worry, it's a treacherous body, and in the hands of my Master Duan, I will learn to be obedient."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Gui turned around and wanted to escape, but the two men beside Duan Dade had already arrived behind him at some point, and he couldn't move at once.

"A small guy, plus five times." Duan Dade said briskly: "I will go out of the thank you gift of the Chinese, and I will go back as soon as I go." ”

Xiuwu County is just a small city, not very big, and the scale of Fang City is the same. Not long after Duan Dade came out, he invited Fang Zheng and an old man to come, this kind of human trafficking also needs Chinese people. There was also a skinny little guy who was brought by him, his mental state was a little bad, and he looked like he was only ** years old, which was different from the eleven or twelve years old that Ye Chang requested.

However, seeing this little boy's eyes that were a little dazed and numb, Ye Chang couldn't bear it, so he didn't bother to bother with Duan Dade anymore - the little boy was by his side, at least he could get better treatment than by Duan Dade's side.

Liu Gui was still crying there, which later turned into threats and scolding, but Ye Chang just ignored it. Later, Duan Dade couldn't help it, and motioned to the two thugs, and then after the sound of ping-pong, the world was quiet.

The contract between the two sides was quickly reached, but there was a problem in the meantime, Datang had actually been plagued by the problem of insufficient copper coins, Duan Dade saw that Ye Chang was in a hurry to trade, and intended to press another sum from it, so he only paid the usual copper coins, and the rest of the four times were made up with silk.

"So be it." Seeing that Qin Qinshou wanted to reason with Duan Dade, Ye Chang smiled and waved his hand: "This slave is given by the elders, and it is already a windfall to sell it for money, so why bother with it." It's not early, I want to go back, shopkeeper Qin, thank you today, and I will go to our Wu Ze in the future, I will cook again. ”

"Speaking of this, Ye Langjun's cooking skills are really the only ones to see, if Ye Langjun opens a restaurant, business will definitely be good."

After a few more cold words, Ye Chang said goodbye, in addition to the five yuan on his body, he was also followed by the little guy.

The little guy's name is Chunming, and he doesn't know what his surname should be, since this is the case, Ye Chang let him have the surname Ye. He is really not clever, he has almost no aura like Xiang'er, and he is also cringe when he speaks and acts, obviously he has suffered a lot on Duan Dade's side.

The memory of these sufferings is very deep, so Chunming is also afraid of his new master, and he does not know what his fate will be.

Ye Chang's first impression of him was still relatively kind.

"Chunming, are you literate?"

"Hui Langjun, a lowly person, illiterate."

"The lowly one...... Hehe, let's read some words, I'll teach you. Ye Chang smiled and broke off a branch on the side of the road, and drew a "one" on the ground, then another "two", and then another "three".

"This is one, two, three, remember, and then follow my example and write on the ground."

Chunming looked at Ye Chang a little stunned, not understanding what he meant, after Ye Chang urged again, he took the branch, looked at the words on the ground, hesitated for a while, and then drew it according to the pattern.

It's just that he wrote horizontal to vertical.

Ye Chang taught it again, and when he tried it again, Ye Chang found that he was quite focused when he wrote, which made Ye Chang very happy.

Teaching Chunming to learn words is not only a whim for him, but also an opportunity for him to secretly observe this child's sexual talent. He used to teach in his previous life, and he knows very well that the most fearful thing about learning is not that students are slow to respond and have poor talent, but that they are not focused enough. Without focus, even the smartest students are wasting their talents.

The two of them slowly returned, and the road of an hour was reversed for an hour and a half. When approaching the village, Ye Chang took the Chunming test, and this time he wrote all three words, and Ye Chang praised him.

Seeing that this master was very kind, Chunming finally became a little bolder, his lips moved, Ye Chang saw that he seemed to be about to speak, so he asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Courageous, Chunming asked, "One is one horizontal, two is two horizontal, and three is three horizontal...... The villain is thinking, so the surname of 10,000, isn't it 10,000? How much paper do you have to write a letter to someone with the surname Wan? ”

Ye Chang laughed when he heard it: "Don't worry, rest assured, the ancestor who made the word has long thought of this, and naturally there is a way to abbreviate it, oh, this is a 10,000-character ......"

He first wrote a traditional swastika with many strokes that obviously made Chunming dizzy, and then he wrote three more abbreviated swastika characters.

"These two words are all 10,000 words, which one do you think is easy to use?"

In fact, during the Tang Dynasty, and even further into the Han Dynasty, Chinese characters had been greatly simplified, such as the character "Wan", which has always been simplified. Chunming naturally pointed to the simplified word "10,000" and said, "This is good, this is simple." ”

"Then that's what you write." Ye Chang said: "There is no need to write 10,000 horizontals." ”

Chunming laughed, and he knew that he was making a joke. This was the first time he had laughed in front of Ye Chang, Ye Chang rubbed his hair, as if to Xiang'er: "I will teach you more words in the future, there are many things at home that may require your help, Xiao Chunming, you must work hard!" ”

Chunming stood stunned, his originally somewhat stupid gaze suddenly cleared up a little, and two drops of crystal glitter swirled in his eyes, but he tried very hard to control them and not let those two drops fall.

In his short life, he has long understood that crying cannot be exchanged for any mercy, but only in exchange for scolding and beating. Although he is young and his reaction is a little slow, he is not really stupid, he naturally knows that what Ye Chang said and did was all sincere, and the sentence "Xiao Chunming, you must work hard" was full of expectations for him.

This feeling of being expected...... That's nice.

"Let's go, Xiao Chunming, I'll be home soon, and I have to clean up the house for you when I go back, and today you are new, we have to add a dish to celebrate." Ye Chang didn't know that the little boy behind him already had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Yes, Lang Jun." Chun Ming quickly followed.

He was suddenly overjoyed by the new master.

But when he approached the village, he realized that his new owner seemed to have more than just an amiable side. The people in the village, young and old, will greet and salute when they see him, some of them are very old, and even bow deeply, that kind of respect must be from the heart.

"Eleven Lang-kun is back!"

"Hey, why don't you see Liu Gui's house, could it be that he is lazy again?"

When he was about to get home, someone finally thought that Ye Chang had brought Liu Gui with him when he went out, and asked Ye Chang.

"Liu Gui is always lazy and refuses to keep to himself, and I don't want to send him to see an official, so I simply broke up and sold him." Ye Chang said with a smile: "It's just that that guy is really unusable, even people don't want to bid, but after twenty times, I hired a small guy to help." ”

The person who asked about it opened his mouth wide and his jaw almost dropped.

On weekdays, everyone thinks that Shiyi Lang is both gentle and polite, even if he argues with others, his face is red and he doesn't make any moves, but he never thought that he didn't do it, and when he did, he directly sold Liu Gui to someone!

Everyone knows what will happen to Liu Gui if he falls into the hands of people. The man must resell him to a distant foreign land, and the main family that spent dozens of times to buy Liu Gui will not let these dozens of dollars be in vain, and he has to squeeze this value back from Liu Gui.

Wu Ze didn't have much of a place, so naturally he couldn't hide any secrets, and soon, Ye Chang spread the news of Liu Gui's sale to the third room Changzhi.

"Shaft dares!"

Liu Shi was so angry that his eyebrows trembled, and the whole person was like a lit flame, and he rushed out with his legs, rushing halfway, thinking that she went to Sanzhi alone, and almost ate Ye Chang's hoe, she said sharply: "Those who can pant and roll, come out with the old lady, take the family belongings, and go to the three branches!" ”

There were many servants in the long branches, and suddenly the strong servants and little servants and servants were in the ring, or holding rolling pins, or carrying hoes and shovels, and they went to the courtyard of the three branches with great dignity. Along the way, there were chickens, dogs, jumping crows, and when they arrived at the three doors, they didn't forget to smash the two clay pots.
