"There's no need to send it, it's twenty taels, you can give me his deed."

Meng Hao smiled and handed four silver ingots to the people, including the one she pinched into a flower.

Wiped his sweat with his teeth, and hurriedly took the child's deed of sale to Meng Zhen.

Meng Hao examined it carefully, and then handed the deed to the kid to identify with his own eyes, "Little guy, come and see, is this your deed of sale?" ”

The young man glanced at it carefully for a few times before nodding at Meng Hao.

Meng Hao smiled and motioned to the man's teeth, "That's fine, I have to trouble you, help me release him from this wooden cage." ”

Ren Yazi hurriedly took out the key, opened the copper lock and released the little boy from the cage.

Meng Hao glanced at his emaciated cheeks and figure, then reached out and touched his head, "You are very smart and brave. ”

The little boy's eyes turned red for a moment.

Meng Hao sighed a little distressed, "Come with me, I'll take you home later." ”

The little boy bowed slightly, and then followed behind Meng Hao without saying a word.

Seeing this scene, Ren Yazi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I finally sold this stinky boy, although I didn't make any money, but I barely managed to keep my book.

"Hey, Lao Wang, why did you sell that kid for twenty taels?"

After Meng Zhen left, Liu Yaren who was next to the stall of Wang Yaren came over and began to inquire about the news with a curious face.

Wang Yaren squinted at him - anyone who saw Meng Hao's strange operation of "pinching flowers with his bare hands" would never dare to kill her with the courage to slaughter her.

But Wang Yaren won't say this directly, and he wishes that his old colleagues would also suffer the same loss as him.

Therefore, Wang Yaren only said lightly, "I'm also afraid that he will really smash my hands." ”

Liu Yaren was skeptical, but he didn't see Meng Hao kneading the silver ingots as plasticine at will, so even if he had doubts, he could only hide this doubt in his heart.

Meng Hao, who had already walked away, didn't know that Wang Yaren was counting on her to give others a bite to eat, and at this time she was standing in front of a stall in the northeast corner of the city, talking in a low voice with a tall and strong white fat middle-aged woman.

The woman's husband's surname is Jiang, and she is a tooth person with the best reputation in the market, and all the "goods" she has here are innocent.

In addition, this woman never abuses these people who sell her body, and she will not ask for a price to harm buyers, so after Yan Zhenwu inquired with his friends, he recommended this woman to Meng Zhen, who wanted to buy someone.

"Aunt Jiang, I want to buy a grandmother, two maids, two maids, and two rough mothers-in-law, please help me introduce a few suitable people. Mama should have experience in taking care of pregnant women and babies. ”

Aunt Jiang thought for a moment, and then ordered almost twenty people to stand in front of Meng Hao, "These two people, one surnamed Qi and the other surnamed Li, both have experience in taking care of pregnant women and children. ”

"Sister-in-law Qi was originally the son of a big family, but later the main family fell, and their family was sold to me by the main family."

"Sister-in-law Li's husband died early, and she and her daughter were sold to me by her mother-in-law. Her daughter is four years old. ”

Meng Hao didn't say anything immediately, she turned her attention to other maids and rough mothers-in-law.

Aunt Jiang is very good at observing words and feelings, and when she saw that Meng Hao did not express her position immediately, she introduced other subordinates to Meng Hao.

"These little girls and little boys, all of them I bought back in the village."

"Some of them were sold by their own parents, and some of them were sold by their other relatives. Those who were sold by relatives were all parents who had passed away. ”

"Only this kid, he found me on his own."

Meng Zhen raised her eyebrows, and found that Aunt Jiang was talking about a thin black boy with the most flexible eyebrows and eyes in this group.

The young man's eyes were bright and his expression was frank, and at first glance he was a good boy with vitality but a decent heart.

Well, it seems that Meng Zhen is not qualified to say that other people's "children", after all, this little boy she regards as a "child" is actually fourteen years old.

It's just that his family is poor, and he can't eat enough and dress for a long time, so he looks shorter, and his body is far less strong than other well-fed peers.

"Rough mother-in-law, I only have four left."

"The tallest is Sister-in-law Li, she used to do rough work for helpers everywhere, but now because her daughter is sick and can't be cured, she will sell herself. She has a lot of strength, she is a good hand at moving and lifting, and she can do all the work at home and in the field. ”

"Next to Sister-in-law Li is Sister-in-law Guo, Sister-in-law Guo has not been out for many years, she was divorced by her mother-in-law's family, and her mother's family also dislikes her, so she came to me to sell herself."

"Then there are sister-in-law Tang and sister-in-law Wen, the two of them were originally working in a big family in a neighboring county, but later because of the fight in the inner house, they were sold by the wife who married the master."

Speaking of this, Aunt Jiang added in a low voice, "These two people were originally guarding the treasury in the courtyard of the first lady. ”

Being able to be sent by the master to guard the treasury is naturally undoubted, but the more loyal they are to the wife who is in the front, the more the wife in the back will naturally be unable to tolerate them.

Meng Hao heard a trace of sympathy from Aunt Jiang's words, she could understand Aunt Jiang and empathize with her, but she didn't mean to buy these two mothers-in-law back into her own home.

"Aunt Jiang, you know, our family is in Ninghai County, it is a real small family, and it can't afford to eat rice, so if I want to buy someone, it only depends on whether this person can do it, whether he is loyal or not, whether he is innocent and responsible, and then whether he dislikes a small family like our family."

As soon as Meng Zhen said this, there were obviously a few people in the crowd who retreated, Aunt Jiang was there, they didn't dare to do it too obviously, but they subconsciously retreated back slightly.

Meng Hao saw it clearly, and immediately excluded these subordinates who disliked their family's "poverty" from the candidates.

And among them, there happened to be the two rough mothers-in-law who were sold by the master and mother behind because of the battle in the inner house.

Of course, Aunt Jiang also saw the scene where everyone subconsciously retreated, her face darkened, but she didn't mention them a word.

That's it, everyone has their own blessings and misfortunes, so she still shouldn't interfere too much.

"You, you, you... And you, you all stay aside. Aunt Jiang drove out all the subordinates who had a feeling of rejection, and Meng Zhen asked them to stretch out their hands to see if their nails were clean.

She still learned this trick from Wu Shi, Wu Shi is a particular person, and the subordinate who wants to use it must be the kind of clean and nimble hands and feet.

And the way she can judge whether a subordinate is clean or not is to observe whether their fingernails are hiding any dirt.

Fortunately, the group of subordinates that Aunt Jiang brought to Meng Hao did not have any nails to hide dirty things.
