Chapter 171: Buying People
Wen Jiarui drove the carriage to Fucheng, first went to the government-run tooth shop, and found a tooth shop, asking her to pick some good subordinates and send them to Yujin Street to pick them out.
Then he drove the carriage back to the Divine Craftsman's Mansion.
Aunt Wen Baozhen was invited to Mrs. Lishu's house today to participate in the plum banquet.
The Book of Rites is the official in charge of the ceremonial room, responsible for the entire state capital's education, imperial examinations, education, performances, rituals, sacrifices, festivals and other matters.
In the past, Mrs. Lishu had never invited her to the banquet, and she was also invited to her eldest sister-in-law's room.
But since Sister Wan was selected for the Qianqiu Banquet, Mrs. Lishu invited herself to the two banquets.
Not only Mrs. Lishu, but other ladies are much more polite to themselves.
The group of relatives of the Song family also became more and more polite to themselves.
Now she has a lot to say in the Song family.
Wen Baozhen can be said to be proud of the spring breeze recently.
She and Song Yuting, Song Jinxiu just walked out and was about to get into the carriage, when they saw Wen Jiarui coming out of Yaxing, and then drove the carriage away.
Song Jinxiu pulled Wen Baozhen's sleeve: "Grandma, isn't that the fourth cousin?" ”
Song Jinxiu looked at the signboard of the dental store again and said in surprise: "Fourth cousin, what is he doing in the dental shop?" Is it a buy-out? ”
Wen Baozhen looked over and sneered: "Selling people is real, buying people?" It's impossible in this life! Don't bother with him, let's go!"
When Wen Jiarui lived in Wen, Wen Baozhen's family did not go.
The people in the big house didn't tell her about that day, intentionally or unintentionally.
Wen Baozhen from Fucheng didn't know anything, she didn't feel that the fourth room could not afford the wind and waves.
The Zhu family didn't like the Wang family, and she didn't want to offend the Zhu family and Dafang for this.
She only recognized one sister-in-law of the Zhu family, and only called the Zhu family a sister-in-law.
Song Jinxiu looked at the carriage and had doubts in her heart, but Wen Baozhen had already gotten into the carriage, and she didn't think much about it and got into the carriage.
When passing by the entrance of Yujin Street, Song Jinxiu couldn't help but lift the curtain and take a look at the wide, clean and solemn street.
I saw the back of a familiar carriage.
"Grandma, I seem to have seen my fourth cousin's carriage enter Yujin Street." Song Jinxiu anxiously pulled Wen Baozhen's sleeve and said in surprise.
The carriage flashed by, and it had already passed the intersection of Yujin Street.
Wen Baozhen glanced outside, didn't see anything, and then lowered the curtain with no interest: "It's wrong!" ”
Yujin Street is inhabited by the most noble people in the entire state capital, and I heard that it is the hometown of many important officials of the imperial court in the capital, how can people in the four rooms enter it.
Song Yuting picked up a piece of dim sum on the table, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Maybe that mud-legged man will become a coachman!" ”
Wen Baozhen's eyes flashed with contempt when she heard this: "Being a coachman for a rich and noble family, and occasionally giving a little reward, but it is a bit wishful thinking to rely on this salary and reward for the three sons to study!" ”
Therefore, without silver, no matter how good the son is, it is!
If the Wang family comes to beg her, maybe she will sponsor it!
It's a pity that the Wang family doesn't have a good face for himself, and the three brothers of Wen Chun only read when they are so old, even if they have the guidance of a famous teacher, they can't read any tricks!
It takes forty or fifty years old to lift people in the exam, and it is useless!
"That poor ghost only likes to come to the door to borrow money! Jinxiu, you can see it later, just take a detour. "Song Yuting is Wen Baozhen's old daughter, and she has been loved by Wen Baozhen in the palm of her hand since she was a child.
I don't have any hobbies in my life, I just love to eat.
She has a very high vision, because she likes good-looking men, picking and choosing, and she doesn't like people's looks and backgrounds, and she likes them, people don't look down on her, and she can't get married when she is 20 years old.
Wen Baozhen took her out this time to see if there was a suitable son.
It's a pity that those men looked at their daughters with disgusted expressions, and they didn't want to look at them more, but their eyes fell on their granddaughters.
Wen Baozhen is also impatient with this, her granddaughter is beautiful!
She said to Song Jinxiu: "Your uncle and grandmother don't like the people in the Wang family's room, and we try not to interact with the people in the Wang family's room." ”
Song Jinxiu didn't say anything else when she heard this.
Wen Baozhen told Song Yuting not to eat too much and to lose weight.
Song Yuting responded perfunctorily.
The warm family returned to the Divine Craftsman Mansion and made a simple lunch.
Just as he was about to eat, Nalan Jinnian came to the door.
Warmth asked him, "Why are you here?" ”
"Something."
Then Nalan Jinnian took the opportunity to stay in the house for lunch.
Soon after lunch, the man from the tooth shop came with someone.
Nalan Jinnian didn't leave, standing beside Wen Wen and watching her pick people.
Nalan glanced at the warmth around him, still so petite that it didn't reach his shoulder.
He looked down and saw the top of hers.
Why does it grow so slowly? Is the food not good enough?
I don't know what else the royal brother has to eat.
Nuan Wen noticed Nalan Jinnian's gaze and looked up at him: "Aren't you in trouble?" ”
Still not leaving?
Nalan Jinnian: "No hurry. ”
Buying someone is a big or small thing, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, he has to help this girl on the side.
lest she be deceived.
After Nalan Jinnian finished speaking, he glanced at the tooth woman lightly.
Ya Pozi's heart jumped: This person's eyes are so sharp!
She was secretly glad that she hadn't slipped and that the people she had brought were the best people in the entire dental industry.
She suppressed the cowardice in her heart and said with a smile: "Master, madam, county lord, these are the people I carefully selected to come out first!" I've picked out the best of the whole dental line! See if there's anything you like. ”
Warmth first picked out some people based on their eyes.
Those women whose eyes always couldn't help but look at Nalan Jinnian, she didn't choose any of them.
She didn't choose any of those men with wrong eyes.
Eliminated the people who didn't want it, and looked through the information of the rest of the people, and finally warmly picked two sisters, one was eight years old and the other was seven years old. is because the family is too poor, and my mother gave birth to seven daughters in a row before giving birth to a son, and I really can't afford to raise it.
And he sold the middle two, and the children of seven or eight years old sold the most for silver.
Many large families like this kind of family background, and then they are not too young and not too young, and they just train their children to be maids.
Then she picked five more children who were sold because of the family's poverty, the oldest was eleven years old, and the youngest was only five years old.
The eleven-year-old was a boy who was sold by his aunt because his parents were gone.
Then Nuan also picked a family, which was the main family's crime, and the family of six was sold.
There are two elderly people in their fifties, a young lady in their twenties, and a pair of children, the man is eleven years old, and the daughter is only six years old.
So thirteen people were picked.
Then he picked a middle-aged man who had worked as a housekeeper in a large family, and a widow who sold herself to save her in-laws, and bought a total of fifteen people.
Wen Jiarui felt that it was too much, he thought that Wen Wen only bought two janitors and a cook!
There are two guards in the Shenjiang Mansion, one cooks, and one caretaker in the village.
These fifteen people, or a bunch of half-grown children, why did they buy them back?!
