The four little girls standing on the side saw the three big red dates rolling down in front of them, just like a wolf sees a sheep. Ignoring them, they squatted down to grab the red dates on the ground. The first girl who snatched a red date, didn't have time to think about it, for fear that the fruit of victory in her hand would be snatched away by others, so she stuffed a handful of dust stuck to the date into her mouth, and bit the date core and swallowed it together. The other three girls fought in full view.

Seeing this scene, Su Meiniang's brows furrowed tightly. Yazi, who is good at observing words and feelings, led his son to control the scene, so he punched and kicked the four disobedient little girls indiscriminately. They didn't dare to fight for the big red dates anymore, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

As a bystander, Zhu Biao, although he loves to fight and fight, but he only targets the ordinary people in the city who are with him. As for these girls who were sold into slavery, they didn't say anything. In his eyes, they were a bunch of inferior, just talking animals. But Zhao Tianer was frightened and sympathetic to their experience.

"Okay, if you want to discipline them, take them down and beat them slowly. I don't want any of the four of them. Su Meiniang, who showed a tired look, knew that Zhao Tian'er liked and liked the little girl who knelt on the ground and begged, so she changed her words and said: "Add ten taels on the basis of my first bid, a total of twenty-five taels of silver." This is also a sky-high price. If you think she's a treasure, keep it. I don't believe anyone else will pay more than that. ”

Seeing that these four ignorant girls had some people who had messed up the business and their own sons, they were very angry, and they beat them out of the country while scolding them for not giving them food. The Ya Po who stayed behind summed it up a little, and no longer insisted on asking for thirty taels of silver, so she accepted it when she saw it: "Okay." ”

The little girl who was grateful was in a hurry, and kowtowed to Su Meiniang and Zhao Tian'er again and again. She hadn't figured out their identities yet, so she said, "Miss Xie and Mrs. Xie." The two don't blame her for calling the wrong name, after all, the age difference between the two can also be mother and daughter.

"Get up quickly! From now on, you will be a member of our Li family. No one will bully or beat you anymore. Zhao Tian'er didn't want to see her kneeling on the ground like this all the time.

The little girl who stood up slowly said nothing with tears in her eyes. For her, she escaped the fate of being sold into a brothel, that is, she was not unlucky. Now, I have the opportunity to be able to keep up with such a kind-hearted master, and I am even more lucky.

Su Meiniang, who rubbed her temples with both hands, said without being salty or indifferent: "If you still have it here, then call it in!" Ya Po, who said yes, ran out of the house quickly, and soon led five little girls with her own man. The age span of this group of little girls is relatively large.

noticed that Su Meiniang, who had two girls with particularly obvious childishness on their faces, expected them to be eight or nine years old. As for the other three girls, they are estimated to be between the ages of twelve and three and seventeen or eight. Judging from the overall effect, it is indeed a lot worse than the first batch of girls.

Ya Po was the first to pull out a nine-year-old girl and said, "Madam, look at this girl, she is a beauty." If you like, I can sell it to you cheaply. ”

"No matter how cheap it is, I don't want it. If such a girl buys it home, she has to raise her for several years of rice to be of some use. The white rice in our house is not something that people eat and drink for nothing casually and for no reason. Su Meiniang, who was not swayed by her sales, stood in the position of the Li family to protect her interests and said: "If this girl I just bought didn't like my sister, I wouldn't be willing to spend twenty-five taels to buy her." ”

The tooth woman who promised "yes" on her mouth could see that Zhao Tianer was qualified to influence Su Meiniang's decision, so she pulled the girl next to her in front of her, and continued to sell with a smile: "Madam, look how cute this girl looks." You buy her and go home, then you can have one more playmate. ”

Su Meiniang, who saw through the other party's little tricks at a glance, interjected with a cold face and said, "If you want to continue to do business, come and talk to me." The idea of beating my sister, I'm afraid we won't have to talk about it. ”

Hearing this, the tooth woman who was soft and hard pushed away the girl who wanted to sell it, turned around and flattered her, and said, "Look at what you said." If you don't like it, I'll give you another one. Keep changing until you're satisfied. ”

"Don't be that troublesome." Su Meiniang, who dealt with her, looked at the remaining four girls, and said with a calm expression: "What do you all say you will do?" ”

The youngest girl, without going through her brain, was the first to open her mouth in a daze: "I can't do anything." ”

Su Meiniang, who couldn't help laughing, felt that she was cute and young and ignorant, and said the opposite: "Since you, the young lady, can't do anything, then what should I buy you back for?" Could it be that I raised you to eat rice? ”

Before the youngest girl could reply, she was already being beaten by the person standing next to her, and said fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

"Alright, alright, you don't have to scold her. I wouldn't want a girl of this age. Su Meiniang immediately looked at the girl with the eldest grade and asked, "What will you do?" ”

The eldest girl was more sensible, and replied cautiously: "The slave can cook, do laundry, and clean the room." ”

"As a woman, it's a matter of duty. If you can't do these things, I'm afraid you can only go to the kiln and spread your legs to be a kiln sister. Will there be anything else? Su Meiniang was not polite at all and saved face.

The girl pondered for a moment, and said very humbly: "Mrs. Hui, the slave can also do some embroidery, although the technique is not good, but it can also add a few lamp oil money to the master's family." ”

Su Meiniang felt that this woman was mediocre in appearance and her skills were very ordinary, and she really didn't have too many outstanding features. The only bright spot is that she is a little older and knows more about the rules of dealing with people. For Su Meiniang, whether to buy her or not depends on whether the selling price is fair, so she asked Ya Po: "How much?" ”

"This woman is really miserable, she was sold to me by a man who gambled badly." Euphemistically said that she is no longer a virgin Ya Po, since she knows that she does not have any specialty, and she is very average in all aspects, just to sell it to make a profit: "If Madame thinks she still has a little use, then twelve taels of silver!" ”

"One price, ten taels of silver." Su Meiniang, who did not drag the mud and water, gave her own psychological price.

"Done." Knowing that it is a very good price to be able to sell this one, Ya Po did not insist as much as selling the last one.

Subsequently, the remaining three girls answered Su Meiniang's questions respectively. After some consideration, she really couldn't see any outstanding characteristics of them. The appearance is mediocre, and the mind is not clever enough, even if you buy them home, you will do some stupid work. If I have to say that they have anything of value, I am afraid it will have to involve the question of whether they are virgins or not.

However, someone still has to do the clumsy work at home, so Su Meiniang, who pulled it casually, pointed to a girl about seventeen years old standing on the far right of the three, and directly bid: "This one sells for ten taels of silver, and I will ask for it." ”

"This girl is still a virgin. Or would you like to add a little more, madame? Ya Po said in a consultative tone.

"Ten taels of silver, no more." Su Meiniang, who is completely different from Zhao Tianer, did not have a single star and said softly: "Otherwise, you can sell her to the old bustard in the prostitution door." At her age and dignity, except for a little silver at the beginning of the night, she would have to be reduced to the lowest prostitute in the future. ”

Ya Po, who is like a mirror, is not satisfied with the bustard's original only eight taels of silver, so she did not sell it and left her. Since someone has an extra two taels of silver, there is no need to keep it in his hands. Although she didn't eat well, she had to spend a little money. The longer you stay with yourself, the more you have to put money inside.

"Okay." Ya Po, who felt that she could sell at such a price, had no reason to continue to insist.

Su Meiniang, who bought two more slaves, raised her hand and waved it, signaling that they could take it down. Ren Yazi took the three people who had not been sold back to their pig-coop-like room, waiting for the next seller to appear. After the last selection, a group of five people were selected, and the third appearance of a man and a woman appeared in the collar.

Su Meiniang, who didn't plan to buy back the little maid, thought in her heart that the slave she bought back would also have to be trained by her hands. If they are handed over to Zhao Tian'er to teach, Zhun Bao will be turned upside down. She understands that girls are easier to clean up than boys, so she has to press them down to be obedient before she can free up her hands to think about buying a small girl.

Seeing Su Meiniang, who had three women and two men in front of her, she obviously felt that the quality was getting worse and worse. couldn't get into her eyes, so he didn't want to say any more: "One is twenty-five taels, two is ten, a total of forty-five taels of silver, that's right!" ”

Zhilu said that she no longer bought the tooth woman, signaled that her man could take them down, and then returned to the back room to find the corresponding deed of sale. When she returned, she and Su Meiniang paid the money with one hand and the deed of sale of the three of them with the other, and also pressed a handprint on the transaction contract to facilitate the buyer to go to the yamen to "transfer" in the future.
