Tang Wanchun heard this, agreed very much, and said: "Your family should also buy a few subordinates, you can earn dozens of hundreds of taels of silver every month, and even a subordinate is reluctant to buy, it's not good to be too thrifty!" ”

Jiang Mengliang smiled and nodded while drinking tea.

"Steward Fang, you have someone contact a reliable dart board and send the best dart master to Master Jiang." After a pause, he said, "Also, take Master Jiang and Miss Jiang to buy a few better subordinates, and your eyes will be brighter." ”

Steward Fang got the order and went out.

Jiang Xiaonian took advantage of this time to take Furao to the backyard to find Mrs. Tang.

Peng didn't care much about receiving the gifts, she had a lot of jewelry, and there was no shortage of these.

However, this was specially given to her by Jiang Xiaonian, she still had a good impression of Jiang Xiaonian, and Tang Wanchun intended to make her her daughter-in-law before, so she pretended to be happy and opened it to take a look.

With this opening, false joy becomes real joy.

"This golden hairpin is very beautiful, and there are blue stones on it, which are embellished on it, adding a lot of brilliance." I took it and looked at it for a long time, nodded and said, "The style is very novel, and the workmanship is also good, I like it very much." ”

"Madame likes it."

The Tang family and the Jiang family have cooperated for so long, and Tang Tao has given her so many gifts, and she should also reciprocate the gifts.

Jiang Xiaonian pointed to the gem-encrusted gold bracelet and gold earrings on the side and said, "Mrs. Tang, these are all matching, walking around in the sun is extremely dazzling, do you want to try it?"

Mrs. Tang was very interested, and immediately asked the maid to help her change into this sapphire jewelry and go out for a walk.

"Madam, this set of jewelry is really dazzling, if you walk with the other ladies, they will definitely be overshadowed." The two maids beside Peng's side both praised sincerely.

Peng was obviously very satisfied with this set of jewelry: "Just after a while, my brother asked me to take Yao'er to the capital to participate in the poetry meeting hosted by the Duchess of Anguo, so I wore this set to the past." ”

The Yao'er in Peng's mouth is her own sister who is one year younger than Tang Tao.

Tang Yaoxin was weak and sick since she was a child, and she took a lot of medicine and was not good, and later saw the warlock, saying that she was congenitally deficient in her mother's womb, her foundation was weak, and the yin qi in her family was too strong, so she suggested that she be sent to Jingshui Nunnery for cultivation, so she left home from the age of four.

The year before she turned twelve, and her body had already recovered a lot, Peng felt that Jingshui Nunnery was too far away from Shitan County, so he took her back.

Originally, she didn't have her share in the poetry meeting hosted by Duchess An Guo this time, but because Peng Ji had just been promoted, and Tang Wanchun's cousin was the cousin of Duchess Anguo, she got this opportunity.

This poetry meeting Peng attaches great importance to it, and if he can make friends with other officials' wives because of this, it will be beneficial to Tang Wanchun's business.

And Tang Yao's heart is also thirteen, if he can be favored by the children of high-ranking officials because of this, it will be even better.

Jiang Xiaonian also heard Tang Tao mention this sister, very delicate and moving, and when he heard that Peng was going to take his daughter to the poetry meeting, he probably guessed the meaning.

"Mrs. Tang, I also have a set of emerald step shakes and earrings there, which are very suitable for Sister Yao, how about I send them another day?"

"Emerald?" Peng didn't understand what.

"Yes, this set of yours is a blue gemstone, I deliberately chose a darker color, which can set off your grace and luxury, and the other set is a light green gemstone inlaid with gold, the color is delicate, and it is the most suitable for Sister Yao."

Peng's hearing was overjoyed, if his daughter could also wear this gemstone jewelry, she would definitely be able to stand out.

Although she was happy, she was still a little embarrassed, and said, "How good is this, I can't help but accept your set of jewelry." ”

"Uncle Tang has taken a lot of care of our Jiang family in recent years, and this is as it should be."

Jiang Xiaonian is Tang Tao's life-saving benefactor, and now he has business dealings with the Tang family, the Peng family will not put himself in a high position, but he is still very happy to hear this.

The key is that she likes the jewelry sent by Jiang Xiaonian very much, and she really doesn't want to shirk it.

After being polite with Jiang Xiaonian again, Peng's happily accepted, and at the same time, she ordered the maid to prepare a return gift, Jiang Xiaonian didn't want to accept it, but Peng's insisted, so she had to let Furui take it.

After chatting for a while, Steward Fang sent someone.

"Miss Jiang, it's ready, Master Jiang said to follow the housekeeper to buy someone now, will you go with you?"

Jiang Xiaonian nodded, turned around and said goodbye to Peng's family, and walked to the front yard with Hibiscus.

After meeting with Jiang Mengliang, several people followed Steward Fang and got into the carriage. These things in the Tang Mansion were all done by Steward Fang, he was very familiar with it, and he came to the place where the county bought and sold people with ease.

Jiang Mengliang had never been to this kind of place, so he didn't understand anything, so he was led by Steward Fang and walked towards the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, a short and fat middle-aged man came to him, and the other housekeeper arched his hand: "Steward Fang, you are here, do you still want to pick a few people in the house?" I'll take you to pick. ”

As soon as you hear this, you can see that the two are old acquaintances.

Steward Fang waved his hand and said, "It's not our mansion, it's just a friend of our master, this is Master Jiang and Miss Jiang, they want to buy a few people to go back, Steward Li wants to take us to see it." ”

Steward Fang specially explained that Jiang Mengliang was Tang Wanchun's friend, and when Steward Li heard this, he was much more concerned.

He quickly glanced at Jiang Mengliang, turned around and greeted warmly: "It turned out to be Master Jiang and Miss Jiang, I don't know what kind of people Master Jiang wants to pick, just tell me." ”

Jiang Mengliang stepped forward and returned the salute and explained his requirements, which were all discussed when he was at home.

Men should be young and healthy, honest and obedient, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and they should also buy one or two women, usually wash clothes and do housework, be careful and honest, and be able to endure hardships.

Steward Li probably understood Jiang Mengliang's requirements, and most of the people who came here to buy them were these requirements.

Steward Li nodded, leaned into the ear of the young man standing on the side and commanded for a long time, and the young man went to the backyard.

After a while, the young man and the other two mothers-in-law came out with a dozen dirty people.

There are men and women, old and young.

A few slightly older people are women, calluses on one hand, and their faces are relatively kind, and Steward Li introduced that these people are very clever in doing things, and they are careful and can endure hardships.

A few of them showed flattering smiles towards Jiang Mengliang and the others, hoping to buy them away.

Jiang Xiaonian walked around in front of the dozen or so people standing in the row and asked some more questions.

In the end, Jiang Mengliang and Jiang Xiaonian discussed and selected two young men, a woman in her thirties. It cost forty-five taels of silver.

The two men came from the same place, lived in the same village before, played since childhood, and were good friends.

Because of the flood in their hometown last year, many people were flooded, and the crops were gone, and then there was a plague, and many people in the family were infected.
