Chapter 69: The Slave Election Turmoil
The tooth shop is located in a two-entry house, and there is no plaque hanging on the door, just a couplet.
Shanglian: Xingren Xingyi Ding Xingwang;
Downlink: Choose men and women to be auspicious;
Horizontal batch: Icing on Inoino
Under the leadership of Lin Feng, Lin Mei walked into the tooth shop and looked at this room carefully built for slaves.
The walls facing the courtyard are supported by wood side by side, no more than a fist apart.
Lin Mei looked at the slaves who were locked in prison, and the eyes of those slaves, whether they were bold or shrunken, showed a look of longing, and they were very emotional in their hearts, glad that they had not crossed into their group.
As soon as Lin Feng saw Lin Mei, he talked about the rules of the tooth shop, Lin Mei summarized and analyzed that talents will shine there, although in ancient times they were divided into three, six, nine and so on, but it was really gold, and the people in the tooth line would also hold it, needless to say that they lived in a single room, and the food would be much better, but the price was about more expensive.
"Look at the couple in front, the man used to be the entourage of the former county lady, and the woman used to be the steward of the former county lady." Lin Feng pointed to a pair of people in the room B in front of him and said.
Lin Mei followed his fingers and looked at him, her eyes met, the young woman was quite a little beautiful, looking shy, looking up from time to time as if she was smiling, which made Lin Mei very disliked, and felt that she was more comparative.
However, the man was honest-looking, did not squint, and stood aside in a proper manner, allowing the buyer to look at him.
Lin Mei shook her head gently at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng knew that this was his cousin and didn't look at it, so he thought that he had prepared another candidate, and pointed out the number A room to Lin Mei.
Lin Mei saw that it should be a family of three, the man was in his early thirties, and the woman was in her twenties and under thirty, holding an eight- or nine-year-old girl in her arms.
This family is not bad, Lin Mei lowered her head and asked, "How much silver do these three people have in total?" ”
"These three people are good, but the price is a little more expensive, and there is no discount, the couple is forty taels of silver, and the little girl is also trained, and the asking price is eight taels of silver, a total of forty-eight taels, that is, these three people are eighteen taels more expensive than the previous two, so I will introduce the two first."
"Why, the woman is more expensive?" The price is still acceptable to Lin Mei, but I don't know where the price is.
Lin Feng also knew that she would have this question, and said: "That woman was originally from a Su embroidery family, and she was a good embroiderer since elementary school, but because the family offended the nobles, the family was forced to become slaves. ”
This made Lin Mei very happy, and there was nowhere to find it when she stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.
"Okay, it's more expensive, it's worth the money." After Lin Mei finished speaking, she was about to take out the silver.
Lin Feng saw that she was satisfied, and as the so-called money is difficult to buy, he didn't persuade her anymore, and directly took her to go to her father-in-law to go through the formalities.
"What, you want to buy those three people, ouch, this is also a coincidence, Lin Feng was not here yesterday, I forgot to tell him this morning, those three people have been looked at by other buyers yesterday, I have received all the silver, and the buyer said that he would come and bring people in the afternoon." Wang Yazi suddenly remembered and said.
Lin Mei: "......" is not going back to stab a villain to step on it, it has been more back recently.
"This ......, or else, are you taking a look and choosing one?" Lin Feng was a little embarrassed.
To be honest, the rest of the crooked melons and cracked dates are not eye-catching.
But Lin Mei was in a hurry to get people, so she could only choose the taller one among the shorter ones, and retreated to the second.
"Okay, let's take a look."
Lin Feng took her from the look of room C.
I didn't see the right one from the C to the T, and the treatment of these two rooms was different from the previous A and B rooms.
In these two rooms, there are all kinds of people, men, women and children, and one room has more than a dozen people, and it is mixed.
Either you're too old, you're too young, or you're eye-catching and unhealthy.
In the end, there were few people in the E-number, but the whole room was very dim, and there was not even an oil lamp, and the people in it could only look at the general outline. There was also a quirky smell in the room.
Lin Mei directly lost interest and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Girl, please wait."
A hoarse voice stopped Lin Mei.
Lin Mei turned back at the voice, a black hand with dried blood marks stretched out from the crack in the wood, a desperate face, with a pair of longing eyes, the woman looked at Lin Mei weakly and wanted to stop talking.
Lin Feng's face was gloomy, so he shouted sternly: "Do you want to do it again?" Stay honest, and make a fuss for a while to have your good fruit to eat. ”
He immediately explained to Lin Mei that there were rules in the tooth trade, and that slaves were not allowed to speak when there was a buyer without permission, and violators would be punished.
Lin Mei raised her eyebrows, no wonder from the moment she entered the door, the courtyard was exceptionally quiet.
"What's the matter with the woman?" Lin Mei was very curious about the woman.
Lin Feng looked left and right, there was no one around, and he lowered his head and agreed: "That woman came out of the back house of the Ning family, I heard that she betrayed the housewife, was bought by the concubine, and accidentally injured the housewife, this woman is the scapegoat, was beaten, and even took her husband and second son, and the family of four was sent out." The Ning family sent a message, not to heal her injuries, to rectify her fiercely, their family of four is currently left with her and has not found a buyer. ”
Wives and concubines fight, there will be death and injury, although the encounter is sympathetic; But there must be something to be ruthless about this poor person, but Lin Mei is not a virgin, and she doesn't want to issue a good person card by the way.
However, such a person should be cheap.
"How much is she worth?" Lin Mei asked curiously.
Lin Feng frowned, and said suspiciously: "Five taels of silver, you don't want to buy her, she has injuries on her body, you have to spend silver to hire a doctor for her, this is not cost-effective." ”
Lin Mei nodded in understanding, and wanted to look at the woman.
Inadvertently, I saw a woman sitting in the back, holding a man's head, it should be a couple, the scattered broken hair covered most of the face, I couldn't see the appearance clearly, but a pair of eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Brother Lobby, what's the situation with the woman in the backstop?"
Lin Feng looked at Lin Mei's fingers and tilted his head, and said: "That couple, her man made a mistake in the mansion and was broken foot, and sent it out together with his daughter-in-law, the woman is okay, but the two are unwilling to separate, so they have no choice but to buy the two together, if you can see it, I will help you to be accommodating, and see if you can get more cheaper silver." ”
"Okay, just the two of them, if there is a suitable one in the future, you can help me pay attention to another one, preferably a woman, with good physical strength, if you can embroider, it will be better." Lin Mei took a fancy to the feelings of the two of them sharing hardships and hardships.
Don't be afraid of making mistakes, you can change your mistakes, but you're afraid of bad character, such as the one who betrayed the Lord before.
When the woman saw that the buyer was willing to buy them, she was moved to fold her hands together, and she did not know what was in her mouth.
Lin Mei took the deed of sale, led the woman to caress her man and went to the pharmacy first, when the doctor checked, he said that the foundation was good, and his body was a little weak, but the right leg had to be broken again, and the other old injuries had scabbed, and it was estimated that there would be scars in the future.
After getting Lin Mei's consent, the doctor poured a bowl of anesthesia powder into the man, and when the medicine took effect, he quickly broke the man's foot again and reconnected it directly.
Later, he prescribed a few sums of medicine to regulate his body, and then asked him to go back to recuperate for a while and recover.
Lin Mei paid the money and hired a carriage, but the woman insisted on refusing to get into the carriage, and Lin Mei said that the woman said that she did not dare to let the master break the bill again, and insisted on walking behind the carriage.
The communication was ineffective, so I had to let the carriage slow down and take her all the way back to Poplar Village.
"Let's talk about it first, my family is not a rich and wealthy family, I bought you to go, mainly to help the family work, if you don't look down on it, I will send you back to Yaxing now." Lin Mei asked tentatively.
When the woman heard that she was going to send her back, the medicine in her hand swayed along her swinging hand: "Don't send the slave and maid back, you are the great benefactor of the slave and maid, the slave and the maid are not small, they can do any work, the slave and the man are also good, and when he is well, the slave and the maid will be used as a cow and a horse for the benefactor." ”
