About half an hour later, the carriage stopped, and the West Market arrived.

Jiao Niang and Su Qingyin got off the carriage one after another, and in front of them was a four-pillar and five-room archway, looking straight in, and there was a God of Wealth with more than two meters on the wall facing the door, and the incense was continuous.

There were two men standing at the door of the archway, and when they saw that it was the sign of Yongchang Bofu, they did not dare to slack off, one went in to report, and one greeted each other.

Soon, a brightly dressed man walked out, wearing a bamboo leaf cyan bat pattern and a scholar's face.

"Dare to ask Madame?" The man guessed that it was seven or eight points, it was the newly married grandmother, but he was not sure.

A grandmother came out next to Su Qingyin, "This is our eldest and youngest grandmother, this is the fifth girl." ”

Wan Niang got out of the car, walked over, and Mama introduced, "This is the second girl." ”

The man greeted him one by one, these were all the nobles of Yongchang Bofu, he didn't dare to look at people carefully, and lowered his eyes, "I don't know what grandma and girl want to buy?"

Su Qingyin's voice was soft, "There are not enough people in the family, and I want to buy some house slaves, I don't know if there are any good ones today." ”

"What a coincidence, yesterday there was a new batch of good quality, the young grandmother can go and see if there is a favorite. As the man was talking, Wan Niang squeezed Jiao Niang away and said, "I want to be good, don't use cats and dogs to make up the numbers." I know that you businessmen are mercenary, and you always like to keep the good ones and raise the price. Let me tell you, our Yongchang Bofu is not short of money, just take the good ones. ”

Although the merchant is making profits, but this is not good to say, the man smiled and raised his face to look at Wan Niang, "The second girl comes, the little ones naturally don't dare to slack off, so the little ones will find a good tooth person to accompany the nobles to go around the city." ”

The people who are there waiting to be bought and sold, also known as pigs, are no different from pigs in the eyes of these merchants. The west market is finely divided, like the place where people buy and sell is called the market, and those who buy livestock are called the livestock market, which is classified and divided.

After saying that, the man turned his head and beckoned to the first person on the left who was squatting under the wall, and the man put down the noodle soup, wiped his hand on his clothes, and ran over.

These people squatting under the wall are all tooth people, who specialize in leading customers to buy things and make a profit from them.

They often wait here before the market opens, and under normal circumstances, it is difficult to eat a safe meal, and they always have a life before they can eat a few bites.

He was wearing a gray short brown half-sleeve, a black sweat towel tied around his waist, his hair was wrapped in a towel cloth, he smiled, and his face was honest, but his eyes couldn't hide his calculating gaze.

The man explained to him, and the tooth man led Su Qingyin and them to Yu City together.

It is said to be a city, but in fact it is two streets, and there is not even a meadow, so he kneels on the cold stone slabs, and has straw stuck in his neck.

They each had their own price, and they hung a sign on their chests, or wrote it on the ground, or even wrote down their misery.

This old family flooded and flooded the village, the parents died early and were homeless, and some lost their husbands and had no work to do, so they sold themselves into slavery. As for what sells oneself to bury one's father and one's mother, it abounds.

Naturally, there is such a sad life experience in the middle, but most of them are nothing more than trying to win the sympathy of buyers, which is their usual trick.

But there are a few Jiao Niang, who are not deeply involved in the world, how can I understand this, thanks to the few mothers who followed, they are all experienced, and they have not abused compassion from the side.

Originally, it was not too difficult to buy people, as long as you looked honest, but Wan Niang was a difficult lord to serve, and she could pick people from head to toe in Su Qingyin's photo.

Yazi has been working here for many years, what kind of person has never seen it, and I really have never seen such a pick. A look of impatience gradually appeared on his face, and he even rolled his eyes.

When they were choosing just now, Jiao Niang also looked at it a few times, no wonder Wan Niang is so picky, there are indeed few who stand out.

Jiao Niang glanced at the water fragrance, and the water fragrance understood, took out a bag of money bags, and stuffed it into Yazi's hand, "I've been with us for so long, you're tired, this is our girl's little heart, take it to drink tea." ”

When Yazi saw the money, his attitude immediately changed, and he smiled at Jiao Niang and said, "Oh, let the girl break the bank, how embarrassing." It doesn't matter if the girl is not satisfied with these, there will be a batch of them in the future, and those batches are all good-looking and diligent, and they are all sold from some large families who have been convicted. ”

When Wan Niang heard this, she glanced at him, "If you didn't say it earlier, it will cause me to delay my efforts here." ”

Yazi pursed her lips behind her back and quenched her mouth, and she didn't know who was delaying her efforts.

Jiao Niang and they waited until the time of Chen, this time Su Qingyin also became smarter, as long as the second lady was selected until she was satisfied.

It wasn't until it was almost noon on the return trip, and Wan Niang chose a dozen to take with her in one go.

Su Qingyin didn't dare to ask, nor did she dare to say, just pay.

After getting into the carriage, Jiao Niang breathed a sigh of relief, she had been vigilant this morning, thinking that something would happen, but nothing happened, and I don't know if she was too worried.

"I originally wanted to go to the jewelry store to have a look, and I finally went out, but my aunt and grandmother shouted that they were hungry, and I didn't dare to delay. Su Qingyin sighed, she hadn't been out since she got married, and she finally had this opportunity, and because she couldn't do anything with her aunt.

Jiao Niang smiled, undeniable.

The carriage left the West Market and was walking on the main street, when Qing Huan ran over outside, "Girl, Young Master Ze is coming over." ”

Jiao Niang lifted the curtain of the car, looked over, and saw Hua Junze riding a high-headed horse from the opposite side. She ordered the groom to stop, and Hua Junze also saw her, rode over, and stopped next to the carriage.

"I said why didn't you go to the old lady's today, it turned out to be out to play. Hua Junze smiled brightly, and his laughter was free and easy.

Jiao Niang was not aggrieved, "How can I play, I am on the order of the eldest lady and my sister-in-law to come out to do things." ”

Hua Junze looked into the carriage and arched his hand, "Hello brother and sister." ”

Su Qingyin bowed his head in return, "Big brother is fine." ”

"Why did you come out today?" asked Jiao Niang.

Hua Junze hugged his arms, "If you can come out, I can't come out, I also came out to do things." ”

Jiao Niang was puzzled, what was he doing here, staring at a pair of round eyes and asking curiously, "What is the matter?"

Hua Junze stretched out his hand and hooked her nose, "What are the girls doing to inquire about men?" Okay, you can go back." ”

Jiao Niang touched her nose, "Then when you go back, don't forget to promise to buy me snacks to eat." ”

"Gluttony, okay, I can't forget. Hua Junze took the horse rope.

Jiao Niang smiled at him, this lobby brother, she bet that he would definitely forget.

She was just about to lower the curtain when she suddenly noticed a deep beam of light projecting beside her, and she turned her face to look, only to see a canopy carriage parked there across the street, the gold-inlaid window was obscured by a curtain of royal blue crepe, and the curtain shook slightly, like the wind blowing gently.

Thinking that it was wrong, she lowered the curtain and told the groom to continue driving.
