With Lu Yingfang's eyes, Tian's mother immediately turned around and said, "According to the roster, first Hao Ye's family, thirteen people. ”

When Hao Ye's family walked into the hall, they found that the old lady was sitting above, with two tables on the right and Hou Ye Lan Rongqi on the left...... No, now it should be called uncle.

When Hao Ye's family came in, they knelt down in a hurry.

Tian's mother: "Get up all of them and find your own man to stand by." ”

Hao Ye is the housekeeper in the house, his mother-in-law is the little housekeeper in the kitchen, he has three sons and a daughter, and all three sons have wives. Now it is divided into four piles, the eldest and his wife and two sons stand up together, the second one stands up with his wife and a daughter, the third one stands up with his wife and his three-year-old son, and Hao Ye and his wife stand together with his younger daughter.

Tian's mother opened her mouth and said: "This is the purchasing steward of the house, who can speak and read, and can count and read." Niang is the kitchen lady in the house, all the big dishes on the banquet are able to cook, usually make dim sum is also good, is a capable person. ”

As soon as Tian's mother's words came out, Hao Ye felt that his eyes were dark.

Hao Ye's family's faces changed.

Tian's mother continued: "The eldest family standing on the right, the male is 30 years old, the female is 28 years old, and the two boys are 10 years old and the other is 8 years old. The man is literate, and he has learned to buy with his father, and he is very good at arithmetic! Her mother-in-law is good at needlework, and when she is usually short of manpower, she also helps sew people's clothes. The two boys heard that they were enlightened and literate. ”

Wu Liu and Liu Niangzi sat on a table, each with pen and ink and a stack of white paper. Although the two of them were competitors, they couldn't help but smile at each other and look at the old lady sitting on the top seat.

This old lady is a great one! Send for them today, and promise a hundred taels of silver. They thought that since they could receive people and get silver for nothing, they would naturally be willing to come here.

I didn't expect the old lady to actually play this out.

According to the agreement, the old lady's left hand was placed on top of her right hand, which was to make them raise the price. Wu Liu and Liu Niangzi caught a glimpse of the numbers on the roster. Hao Da's family is one thousand taels.

In fact, without the hint of the old lady, Hao Ye's family already knew that the price was going to increase, after all, Mother Tian said closely to their strengths, especially if they were literate and could count, they were already the best among the slaves.

When Tian's mother finished talking about the strengths of Hao Ye's other sons and daughters, Wu Liu said in response: "The prices of the subordinates of the Hou Mansion are very good. This family is especially good, especially the cook is more expensive, at least one hundred and fifty taels. As for the rest...... he said on a blank piece of paper, "the old couple don't need to tune. Teach, you can use it directly, two people total three hundred taels. The eldest son's family counts four hundred taels, the second son's family counts three hundred taels, the younger son's family is one hundred and eighty taels, and the youngest daughter is quite Peugeot and literate, so she can sell it for one hundred taels no matter what. A total of one thousand two hundred and eighty taels. ”

Hao Ye and his mother-in-law said "ah", and they couldn't stand steadily.

Aunt Liu was not to be outdone: "There are five women in this family, three of them are of good color, and I can give enough 1,300 taels." ”

The color is good...... It is not a good thing for this to come out of the mouth of a man's teeth. Besides, this Liu Niangzi has been dealing with Qinglou all year round.

Hao Ye hurriedly knelt down and shouted at Lu Yingfang: "Old lady, old lady, our family has served in the mansion for many years, there is no merit and no hard work, we are willing to redeem ourselves, but this silver tael is too much......"

Lu Yingfang asked, "How much are you willing to give?" ”

Hao Ye choked, how much should I say? It's too bad, it must have been sold directly, and the silver and the house and shop that I saved were not in vain? But this price is spoken, and it will not be good to increase the price later.

Mrs. Hao Ye had already howled: "Old lady, there are more than ten people in the slave family, and they receive monthly money every month, and the cost is also large, and it also costs a lot for the three sons to get married......

Wu Liu and Liu Niangzi were unmoved, it seems that these slaves are really dead, and the master family has found out their family background, and they dare to quibble.

Tian's mother sighed: "Hao Ye's family, why don't you follow Mrs. Liu, anyway, you all have skills, and when the time comes, you can each find a new master's family, and you can also make a living." ”

Hao Ye didn't want the family to be dismantled and sold, so he immediately spoke: "Old lady, give us a little time, we will borrow it everywhere tomorrow morning, if we can borrow it...... You always talk about numbers, but you really can't make up the number of Liu Niangzi. "He is a good person, and he doesn't dare to report the number directly, so it is better to let the old lady say the number.

If the old lady really wants to do things absolutely, just let Yazi bring someone over, and their money and belongings are still from the Lan family. The old lady seemed to have the intention of letting the servants live, so the silver he gave was certainly not much less than the human tooth. After all, the Blue Mansion still has to repay its debts! The only way to do this now is to give up most of the family's property and save the family.

Lu Yingfang waited for his words, and she spoke: "You guys retreat first, and let's see how much silver you can make tomorrow!" Hao everyone, you go to Biling, if you can complete the task she assigned, this money can be less. ”

When everyone heard that Lu Yingfang was relieved, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately afterwards, Lu Yingfang saw merit points popping up on the heads of several women.

The merit value of Hao Ye's family is 3, the eldest daughter-in-law is 2, the second daughter-in-law and daughter are 5 and 6, the third daughter-in-law is 2, and Hao Ye's youngest daughter is 5.

Lv Yingfang: System, why are all the merit points coming out of women?

- Women have a better chance of being sold, and if you let go, they can save money, and this cook is very happy. The other three daughters-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, gave birth to a girl, so she was naturally afraid! The youngest daughter has long been raised with high vision, and she is even more afraid of being sold. Therefore, the merit value of the contribution is the highest.

Hey, it's not easy to be a woman!

The second household to come in was Daddy Lin's family.

Lu Yingfang had a good memory, and looked at the young man standing in the middle: "I remember that you just stood up and wanted to go to Youzhou with us." Why not redeem yourself? ”

Lin Zi knelt on the ground: "Old lady, there is not much silver at home." ”

This is the truth, Lu Yingfang finally showed a smiling face, she likes honest people.

Wu Liu and Liu Niangzi saw that Lu Yingfang had no intention of increasing the price, so they spoke separately according to the price given on the desk.

Wu Liu: "This old man seems to be sick, the woman is just washing and sweeping, only two little girls are good-looking, just thirty taels!" ”

Mrs. Liu: "That's what I mean, but I like little girls, if you sell it to me, I'll add five taels of silver." ”

Lin Zi's father saw that Mrs. Liu was dressed in a floral silk cloth, smeared with grease and powder, and her face was charming, and he immediately knelt down: "Old lady, my father once saved the old marquis, please be lenient." After saying that, he kept kowtowing on the ground.

In all fairness, thirty-five taels is less. They are a family of six, the old man is not worth much, the woman is worth ten taels, the two daughters are worth fifty taels, and the boy is eight years old and can be adjusted. The age of the teacher is also good, fifteen taels are okay.

It seems that the old lady is willing to let this family go.

- Host, their family only has ten taels of silver. Why did you still write thirty taels?

Lu Yingfang spoke: "How many taels of silver can you come up with?" ”

Lin Zi's father trembled: "There are only eight or nine taels...... Make it up, ten taels will do. ”

Lu Yingfang looked at Lin Zi, who was still kneeling on the ground, and saw that his eyes were clear, and there was a look of determination on his face, thinking that he wanted to save his family.

"How old are the two girls?" Lu Yingfang looked at the two little girls who were about to cry.

"Back to the old lady's words, the eldest is fourteen years old, and the younger is twelve years old." Lin Zidad felt that his chest was beating like a drum, and even his hands began to tremble.

Lu Yingfang nodded: "If the two daughters find a good family, they will bring the letter over, so that their brother can add makeup to them." ”

Lin Zi's father only stayed for two seconds, and the next moment he was ecstatic, and immediately kowtowed: "Old lady Xie, old lady Xie." ”

Lin Zi's family came back to their senses and kowtowed in thanks.

Lu Yingfang looked at the merit value above their heads, Lin Zi's parents were both 9, the two little girls were both 8, the youngest son's merit value was 7, and the maximum merit value of a person in the short term was 10. Lu Yingfang felt that if she left Lin Zi to them and avoided selling her body for money, it was estimated that there would be 10! However, she urgently needs to hire people now, and it is a big deal to give Lin Zi some more wages in the future, and then give him freedom.

Lu Yingfang decided to add a handful of firewood, she said to Lin Zi: "If you leave home thousands of miles away, you must be worried about your family, I don't want your redemption money, and I will give you ten taels of settling in, and some medicinal materials in the house can be obtained from Biling." ”

As soon as these words came out, the merit value of the whole family rose to ten, and the total merit value of six people was fifty-eight. Lu Yingfang instantly felt their full gratitude.

- Wow, the host is amazing! First, he offered a high price of thirty taels, then frightened them, then gave grace and did not ask for money, and finally gave money, and the merit value soared all of a sudden.

Lu Yingfang: Do you think I like to be a villain? They were only a little frightened and were able to get out, as well as settling-in expenses. I get merit points, and you also get merit points as energy, it's a win-win-win situation.

The system uses merit points as energy, which is just her guess, but it doesn't refute it, so it should be.

"Lin Zi, you have to do something for me next, when you go to Biling, she will tell you. When you go out of this door, don't be overjoyed for a while, but pretend to be sad, you know? Lu Yingfang commanded.

Lin Zi's father immediately understood, and Lin Ziniang nodded hurriedly.

Lin Zi looked at his sisters who were still a little confused: "If everyone is exempted from selling their bodies for silver, the old lady will have no silver here." "If you don't have money, how can you pay your debts?

The two younger sisters understood in seconds and nodded quickly. Lin Zi's eight-year-old brother also understood.

When the family went out, they were all sad. When others came to inquire, Daddy Lin waved his hand, and left with his family with a sigh.

No one noticed Father Lin's slightly trembling hands, and no one noticed that the Lin sisters pursed their lips for fear of laughing out loud.
