Xie Shi was stunned for a moment: "Buy, buy people? ”

"That's right." Zhao Ruxi nodded, "You bought someone, and the deed is in your hands, unless you are a fugitive slave, their life and death are in your hands." They share your interests and have a stake in them. If you are doing well, their days will be well; You're not doing well, or they're getting worse, or you're going to have to sell them again. So the slave is more credible than any relative. Of course, when you buy people, you also have to screen, you have to look at the character. ”

"But, you can buy people, where do you live?" Xie Shi said.

It's no wonder that she is shallow-insighted, but the business is developing too fast, and they are still stuck in the thinking of a farmer or a small trader, and suddenly they have to do a business involving the entire county or even the entire capital, and they can't adapt to it all of a sudden, and they can't turn around.

The other, the current house of the Xu family still belongs to Zhao Ruxi in their cognition, and they are only using it temporarily. The house is small, and it is suitable to live in their family of four. Buying people? The people who bought the slaves had enough money, but after they were bought, how did they arrange for their food and lodging?

So Xu Yongyi and Xie didn't think about it at all. The two of them were always torn over whether to invite relatives of good character in the village to help them.

"How much money do you have at home?" Zhao Ruxi asked.

"You wait." Xie Shi wanted to get up and get the money box.

Zhao Ruxi pressed her hand: "I just want to understand, you just tell me how much money you have made during this time." I don't have to do a separate calculation, I just need a total. ”

Xu Yongyi has the habit of keeping accounts. In addition, this business is in partnership with Zhao Ruxi, so he remembers the accounts clearly. And Xie's greatest pleasure is to listen to her husband's report every night before going to bed to see how much money he has earned.

Therefore, when Zhao Ruxi asked, she clearly reported a number: "One hundred and thirty-six taels." ”

A smile appeared on her face as she said that.

And they were to be given eighty-one taels of silver. And eighty-one taels can buy the courtyard where they live now.

In more than half a month, she can earn a house in the county, and she and her husband really dream of waking up laughing.

If the business in the capital is spread, how much can you earn in a month? She couldn't even think about it.

Zhao Ruxi nodded and stood up: "Auntie, the book city is about to go to class, and I will go back with Xu Xue." The business and buying business in the capital, you wait for me for two days. When I think clearly, let Xu Xue talk to you and your uncle. ”

"Okay." Although Xie was reluctant, he also knew that the academy had very little time to rest at noon, and it was not easy for Zhao Ruxi to come this time, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he sent them out.

Before returning to the academy and parting, Xu Xue said, "Sister, I have already written a notebook, and I will show it to you when I get out of class." ”

"Okay." Zhao Ruxi smiled and waved her hand and entered the north courtyard.

During this time, she asked for leave, and the masters of the Four Books and Five Classics left a lot of homework, and Zhao Ruxi needed to complete it, so she didn't go to the Ding class to listen to the afternoon class. And she also made choices, and some classes were going to give up. She even had the idea of going out to do things in the afternoon and not staying in the academy.

But all of this has to be based on the premise that she will do well in tomorrow's exams. Otherwise, with Mrs. Cui's strictness, it is estimated that she will not be able to comply with her excessive request.

After school in the afternoon, Zhao Ruxi was packing up in the church house, and saw Mrs. Cui leading a woman in her thirties into the school house.

"This is Mother Song, the servant of Mr. Kang's family." Mrs. Cui introduced Zhao Ruxi first.

Mother Song gave Zhao Ruxi a salute and said with a smile: "The old lady specially sent a slave to serve the girl." ”

Zhao Ruxi was a little confused, not understanding what her newly recognized master meant, and couldn't help but look at Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui kept a face on the floor as always, and did not mean to explain for Kang Shilin.

Zhao Ruxi had no choice but to smile at Song's mother: "Okay." I'll pack my things and go out with you. ”

The two said goodbye to Mrs. Cui, and Song's mother said: "The old lady is not good at entering and leaving the academy at will, so let the old slave come and pick up the girl." The Kang family has a three-entry house in the county, and the old lady said that it will be used as a painting academy first. If the girl finds it inconvenient, find another place near the college to avoid spending time on the road after school. ”

"There's nothing wrong with it." Zhao Ruxi said, "Bac Ninh is not too big, and it doesn't take much time to take a car to think about it." ”

When the two left the academy, Zhao Ruxi did not get into the carriage of the Kang family, but took the carriage that Qingfeng came to pick up, and followed Song's mother to the Kang family's house.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a vermilion door.

Before he got off the carriage, Zhao Ruxi heard the porter shouting: "Go and report to the old lady, just talk about Miss Zhao." ”

Immediately after that, someone came out of the door and said with a smile: "Little junior sister, you are here." If you don't come again, Master and his old man will curse again. ”

"Third Senior Brother." Zhao Ruxi saluted Wu Zong.

"Don't be polite, let's go inside." Wu Zong waved his hand and urged Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi was also very helpless about Mr. Kang's quick temper. Didn't the old man know when she got out of school, so he needed to be urged like this?

Kang Shilin's house is said to be three-in, but it is different from the ordinary three-in courtyard. When you enter the gate, you don't go inside, but turn to an arch next to it, and you go out, and there is a garden. Flowers and trees are flourishing inside, and pavilions and pavilions should be had.

Zhao Ruxi followed Wu Zong along the verandah for a while, and then arrived at an open pavilion.

"Ahh Quick, you see if all these things I have prepared are ready, if not, hurry up and say, I will ask someone to prepare. Before Zhao Ruxi could see the person clearly, he was pulled away by Kang Shilin.

As the owner of the training class, she can charge three thousand taels of silver for tuition, how can she not prepare something to draw?

"I've brought something." Zhao Ruxi said with a smile.

Qingfeng, who came in with her, hurriedly opened the bag she was carrying, and Lu Bo and a guard in the Bofu also put the things they were carrying on the ground.

Zhao Ruxi had time to look at the trainees of the training class.

Even the master and the two senior brothers, there were twelve people.

Three nine twenty-seven, isn't it possible to earn 27,000 taels of silver today?

Zhao Ruxi was excited when he thought about it.

made a fortune.

Before she finished getting excited, Kang Shilin handed over a box: "Thirty-six thousand taels of silver tickets, all of them are inside." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Ruxi to react, he pointed to everyone and introduced: "This is Fang Jingye of Guozijian, this is Chen Zhongqiu of Jizhou, this is Cen Song, the son of the Cen family, and this is Lu Junyu, the son of the Lu family, ......"

After hastily introducing everyone, he pointed to Zhao Ruxi and said to everyone: "This is my little apprentice......"

At this point, he paused.
