Chapter 190: Breaking the Temple and Recruiting Workers
Probably because Jiang Xinyi and An Pengfei were on the side, those people ate more gently, and in the process of eating, they secretly took out some of them and stuffed them into their arms on every plate.
After dinner, those people walked up to Jiang Xinyi and thanked her, Jiang Xinyi just nodded, and there was no expression on her face.
After those people left, Jiang Xinyi settled the bill, said goodbye to Shopkeeper Wen, and walked out of the restaurant. In the carriage, Jiang Xinyi didn't say anything, thinking about what she had just seen, and the chests of those people were already soaked with oil.
"Childe, are we going to the furniture store? Or go back to the inn? Haizi asked in front of the carriage.
"Don't rush, wait for a while, let me think about it." Jiang Xinyi said while lying on the couch.
"Hasn't the third brother always been very generous? Why are you so stingy today? Sent them away with just one meal? Don't even give a copper plate? An Pengfei asked with some sarcasm.
"Will giving them copper plates change their fate? Why waste. Jiang Xinyi sensed An Pengfei's unfriendly tone and replied.
An Pengfei was stunned for a moment, yes, it's useless, what can a few copper plates do?
There was only the sound of the two of them breathing in the carriage, Jiang Xinyi squinted at An Pengfei with a serious face, and pouted.
After a long while, Jiang Xinyi knocked on the carriage, "Haizi, go to the broken temple in the west of the city to have a look, the city gate should not be closed so early." ”
"Childe, what are you going to do there?" Haizi asked puzzled.
"If you are told to go, you will go, when did it become so verbose." Jiang Xinyi pretended to be angry and said.
"Yes, the little one knows." Haizi responded outside.
"Second brother, do you want to go? If you're not interested, I'll send you back to the inn first. Jiang Xinyi looked up and asked An Pengfei.
"It's okay anyway, so it's okay to go and see." An Pengfei said lightly.
The carriage ticked out of the city, and when it stopped after a while, Jiang Xinyi got out of the carriage and saw that it was really a big ruined temple.
Jiang Xinyi motioned for Haizi to wait outside, and didn't care about An Pengfei, so she went straight inside. As soon as he came to the door, he heard the cries of the women inside, the wails of the men, and the sounds of fighting. "You bastards, you really don't have any 'sex', forget it about killing you, anyway, I am worried that there is no place to eat, so I just go to prison to eat, and it will save you from harming others.
Jiang Xinyi originally planned to take a look quietly outside, but she didn't expect such a big movement inside, and she didn't care so much, so she raised her feet and walked in.
Although the outside of the temple was in tatters, the inside was neatly tied, and the group of people who worked for themselves during the day gathered in a circle, all with clenched fists in their hands, holding stones and wooden sticks.
An old woman on the side was coaxing a small man in men's clothes and crying with a female voice.
"Childe, how did you get here?" A person saw Jiang Xinyi and An Pengfei first, and I asked in surprise.
A group of people turned around when they heard this, looking at Jiang Xinyi and An Pengfei.
"What's going on?" Jiang Xinyi asked. As the people dodged a crack, she saw the three people huddled on the ground, a little familiar, weren't they the three people she had driven away.
"Hui Gongzi, these three brutes want to bully the swallow while we are away, if they come back one step late, the swallow will be harmed by them." The person who spoke, the man with the red birthmark on his neck, was a little trembling because he was too excited.
"Swallows?" Jiang Xinyi reacted, the person coaxed by the old "woman" was a girl dressed as a man like herself.
"What do you want to do with them, do you really want to kill them? Is it worth it to go to jail and behead for such a person? Jiang Xinyi is also very sensitive to such things, according to her "nature", she should castrate them, but that is really unrealistic.
"It's okay, we're already like this anyway." The other said on the side.
"It's good that the swallows are fine, and the people have also taught them a lesson, so let's throw them out first." Jiang Xinyi really didn't know how to deal with such a thing, so she said.
"That's too cheap for them." Another one says so.
"Listen to the son, you can't be killed, it's useless to send it to the government, who will care about our affairs." Someone spoke.
"By the way, listen to the son, throw them away and freeze them to death." Someone said so.
Since the majority of the people agreed on the same thing, they immediately started dragging them out of the temple gate. There was a trail of blood on the ground, and a few front teeth, which I don't know if the bastard had dropped.
"Please be seated, two sons." The one with the red mark on his neck quickly found two repaired broken chairs, wiped them with his sleeves, and said to Jiang Xinyi and An Pengfei.
"What are you going to do in the future?" Jiang Xinyi sat down and asked the person in front of her.
"What can I do, if you don't sell yourself as a slave, you really can't do it, you can only risk entering the palace to be a eunuch, it's better than starving to death." One says so.
"But after inquiring about being a eunuch, I said that if I am too old, it will be very dangerous when I am purified." One said.
"Isn't there a better way out?" Jiang Xinyi asked.
"Better? Yes, based on the appearance of our brothers, we will enjoy being a male pet for rich people, but if we are toyed with like that, we would rather cut off our children and grandchildren and be scolded by our ancestors to be eunuchs. A very firm voice said.
Alas, another sigh.
"I came here to ask you a word, would you like to go to me to do things, you don't need to sign a lifelong deed of sale, but there is no salary." Jiang Xinyi asked tentatively.
"No pay?" "But you don't have to sign a deed of sale." "You don't have to go hungry if you have something to eat." There was a lot of talk about those people blowing up their nests.
"Childe, are you really going to invite us?" A cautious ask.
Jiang Xinyi nodded.
"But, Childe, we can't read." One asked.
"I'm not asking you to be a bookkeeper or a teacher, so if you can't read, it's okay." Jiang Xinyi replied.
"Why don't we go, this son is not bad." Quietly discussing with others.
An Pengfei was on the side + passionate, and began to "rub" her brain, it turned out that she really planned to invite them, and she didn't plan to pay for it!
"There is a small condition for going to me, that is, there is a one-month probationary period, and if you don't make a mistake in this month, you can sign a contract and stay and continue to work. If you make a mistake, you have to leave. Jiang Xinyi said slowly, trying to make them understand.
"Childe, what is a contract? Is it something like a deed of sale? One asked.
"No, they're much worse, and if you sign the deed of sale, you won't be free, and you won't belong to yourself. But my contract is different, I will sign with you for half a year at the beginning, which means that you can't leave within half a year. When your contract expires, if you find a better job, you can leave on your own. How's that, interested? Jiang Xinyi asked seriously.
The men huddled together, muttered and discussed, and then turned back to her and said yes.
"That's good, by the way, how many of you are there?" Jiang Xinyi asked.
"Hui Gongzi, drove out three, and there are eighteen more." One said.
"I'm going to have ten in the front yard." Jiang Xinyi said deliberately.
"You go" "You go. Those people were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly pushed each other. Jiang Xinyi looked at them with a smile and made a decision.
"Go ahead, I have a lot of strength, and I can chop wood and sell it." "Yes, I'm also strong enough to do coolies." "Either we won't go, let's starve to death and die together" "What's that, why don't you go if you have a way to live?" Jiang Xinyi is even more satisfied with their performance, she just needs such a person, sharing weal and woe, and never giving up.
"Okay, what are you doing here? I said that there should be ten in the front yard, but the backyard also needs people. Eighteen of you is an auspicious number, how can I separate you, go all. Jiang Xinyi stood up and said.
"Really? Childe is great, thank you Childe. The men said excitedly.
"Childe, I'm not going." The man with the red birthmark on his neck said.
"Why? Don't you have a salary? Jiang Xinyi asked.
"Childe misunderstood, Xiao Ai is not worried about his sister and 'milk' and 'milk'." The other said on the side.
"Oh, sister, go too, my house is not a monk's temple, as long as the male drip does not the female drop." Jiang Xinyi nodded and said.
"Childe, if my brother and I go, what will I do with 'milk' and 'milk'?" The swallow had already stopped crying and said with a single eyelid wink.
"Let's go together, but you two will have to work harder." Jiang Xinyi frowned and said.
"'Milk' 'Milk', do you hear me, we don't have to separate, my brother and I will work more to support you." The swallow forgot the fright just now, and said happily to her "milk" and "milk".
"Can we really go together?" Xiao Ai still asked with some disbelief.
"Alas, I think you still don't want to go, you are so young, but your ears are so back." Jiang Xinyi shook her head and said.
Hee-hee, Xiao Ai's embarrassed steamed bun.
"By the way, you've also heard that it was a murderous house, aren't you afraid?" Jiang Xinyi asked again.
"The two sons are not afraid, what are we afraid of." Xiao Ai took the lead and said, and everyone laughed.
"Then it's decided, you stay here for a few days first, and when I'm ready, let Haizi call you." After Jiang Xinyi finished speaking, she turned around and left.
"Childe sit down a little longer." I don't know who was excited to stay with the guests.
"If you sit again, the city gate will be closed, so let me live here too?" Jiang Xinyi pretended to be angry and asked.
Hehe, followed by another honest laughter.
Jiang Xinyi ordered them not to come out to send themselves, Xiao Ai and they honestly didn't come out, Jiang Xinyi went out of the temple gate, walked a few steps, and tiptoed back to the door, and heard what was said inside.
"'Milk' 'Milk', swallow, we came back with good things, chicken and buns." "Hey, why are these buns squeezed out?" "yes, I'm flattened too."
Jiang Xinyi covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing, and hurriedly walked to the carriage and got into the carriage.
An Pengfei also entered the carriage.
"Yi Xin, are you helping them?" An Pengfei asked hesitantly.
"No, isn't it like you don't have to be paid?" Jiang Xinyi said in a weird way.
Now, although An Pengfei doesn't understand why she didn't give those artificial money, it is clear that he misunderstood her. An Pengfei regretted and blamed himself.
"Yi Xin, let's go to the night market later, right?" An Pengfei asked flatteringly.
"No, it's not interesting." Jiang Xinyi lay on the couch and simply refused.
"Yi Xin, wait a minute, I'll get two good dishes, let's have a few drinks at the inn." An Pengfei was not confident enough to discuss.
"Don't, don't speculate for more than half a sentence." Jiang Xinyi turned over as she spoke, without looking at him, who would let him misunderstand himself and not believe himself.
