Chapter Eighty-Five: Buying People Interlude
.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!
There were two or three people chatting beside each of the pillars under the eaves of the surrounding porch, men, women, and children, dressed in different clothes. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately stopped talking and came over.
After seeing the outfits of the two people beside Sun Yapo, they all stood up straight. The demeanor of these two people is different from them at first glance, and they are not their future masters, so they have to be respectful.
Sun Yapo stood straight in the middle of the courtyard, swept her sharp eyes around, and said loudly: "Listen inside and outside the house, whether you are fourteen or forty years old, both men and women will come to the courtyard." ”
Her expression at the moment is completely different from when she received Liu Bowen's father and daughter, and she is quite impressive.
Hearing the shouting, a number of people came out of the house, and most of the chattering under the eaves of the porch gathered in the middle of the courtyard.
"Sun Yapo, I just need to sign the death deed." Liu Qingyan reminded Sun Yapo in a low voice.
Sun Yapo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Look at me, I was happy, and I forgot to ask about it." Then he raised his voice and shouted: "It's the one who has a living deed to go back, and the young lady only needs to sign the death deed." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, several people retracted and stepped back.
The people stood neatly in two rows in the middle of the courtyard, one for the men and one for the women, apparently trained.
Sun Yapo was very satisfied with this, and said to Liu Qingyan with a smile: "Miss, all the people who meet your requirements are here, I have taught the rules, you can use them when you buy them, you pick slowly." ”
"Hmm."
Liu Qingyan agreed, and began to slowly pace between the two lines.
There was no emotion on her face and under her eyes.
These people all stood with their heads down, seeing Liu Qingyan walking past them, some continued to lower their eyelids to look at the ground, and some raised their eyes to look, their eyes were confused, eager, and evasive.
After walking around, Liu Qingyan returned to Sun Yapo and stood still, and said in a loud voice: "I need a coachman, and the one who will serve the cattle will stand in front after the carriage." ”
Now the horses and mules of the Liu family are taken care of by the old man Liu, he is old, and the family will use the car more in the future, she thinks it is better to get a special person to be responsible, so that the old man can enjoy a few years of happiness.
There were two men who came out, one in his early thirties and one in his twenties.
The person who signed the death contract can only be a slave for life, unless the master's family is rewarded with grace to have a good name, but if it is not a particularly great merit, which master will reward the next person with freedom?
To be blessed by a good master's family is the greatest wish of the subordinate, the master follows the right, and has no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and lives a much better life than those who are free outside, but are suffering in poverty.
So while Liu Qingyan was observing these people, these people were also observing Liu Qingyan, some with their eyes and some with their hearts, and they felt that following this little girl would be a good place.
Two people, then compete for the post!
A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Qingyan's mouth, and she said, "Both of you will talk about your strengths, so that I can decide who to use." ”
The man in his thirties preemptively said: "If Miss Hui, I have been driving a car at my original master's house for more than ten years, and the road is familiar, and there is no place in the city that I don't know." ”
Liu Qingyan nodded, her eyes looking at the younger one.
The young man was a little nervous, he was experiencing the first time he had been transferred, and stammered, "Go back...... Back to Miss's words, I ...... Although I don't know how to drive, I used to be responsible for feeding livestock and raising ...... Fattened. ”
Liu Qingyan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you always stammered like this when you talk?" ”
"Miss Hui, I don't usually stutter when I speak, but I stammered just now because I was nervous." The young man straightened his chest, and his speech suddenly became sharp.
Belch!
Liu Qingyan smiled dumbly and said, "You two hands stretch out and I'll take a look." ”
The two of them were stunned at the same time, and stretched out their hands according to their words.
Liu Qingyan took a closer look and said to the young one: "It's you, you can stand aside and wait." ”
"Thank you, Miss." The young man smiled innocently and stood behind Liu Qingyan.
The man in his thirties was not convinced and asked, "He hasn't been in a car, why did the young lady choose him instead of me?" ”
Liu Qingyan glanced at him and said unhurriedly: "My family's business is all related to eating, and I usually pay the most attention to cleanliness, and you, look at your own hands." ”
The man looked at his hands and didn't see anything wrong, aren't they just rougher.
Seeing that he still didn't know what his problem was, Liu Qingyan continued: "The nails of your hands are longer than a grain of rice on your fingertips, and there is dirt in the cracks of your nails. It can be seen that you are usually a person who does not like to be clean. ”
The man retreated abruptly.
Someone in the team looked at their hands and hid them in their sleeves, knowing that they probably had no hope of being selected today.
Sun Yapo was secretly frightened, and she also understood why the lord next to her would let his daughter choose someone.
Liu Qingyan's eyes swept over the faces of the team in front of her, and she said loudly: "The first candidate I ask must be diligent; Second, we must love cleanliness; Third, we must be single-minded; If you think you can do it, stand in front. Of course, I will not treat the chosen people badly, three meals a day, the same meals as the host, two clothes for each season, and ask the doctor to see a doctor when he is sick, regardless of whether the illness is serious or small, the expenses are borne by the master's family. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the team suddenly became restless, and no one in the city was treated so well.
If you are sick alone, you can see a doctor, it is enough to make people tempted, and the subordinates of other big families, minor illnesses are all boiled, and serious illnesses are directly waiting for death, spending so much money to ask for a doctor, it is better to use that money to buy someone back, only the cronies who are reused by the owner can enjoy this treatment.
"Me."
"I'll come."
"And me."
One by one, people walked up to Liu Qingyan and stood in a row.
Liu Qingyan took a closer look, and those who showed weakness really didn't stand in front, but the inspection still had to continue.
When a woman in a satin dress was inspected, the woman's eyes were raised, and she said arrogantly: "In the original master's house, I served my grandmother closely, but I am not the kind of inferior and sloppy person, and I usually pay the most attention to cleanliness. After I went to the house, I only did the work of serving the housewife, and I couldn't do heavy work. ”
Liu Qingyan raised her eyes and stared at the woman's face for a few breaths, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, my housewife has to do rough work herself, and she can't afford to use your big Buddha, so it's better for you to be higher." ”
Seeing this, Sun Yapo on the side rushed over and slapped the woman, scolding: "It's just a lowly woman who has served her aunt, and she dares to play prestige when she comes to me, and several of the guests who came to buy people have been offended by you, not to mention wasting my rice for a long time, but also letting my Sun Yapo's gold-lettered signboard be dusty, don't teach you a lesson, when my Sun Yapo is so bullying." ”
After speaking, he shouted to the side: "Come on, pull this tricky woman and beat him hard." ”
A few men who had been leaning against the pillars with idle expressions came over and pulled the woman to the corner of the courtyard to make a board.
The crackling of the boards and the terrible screams of the women frightened the faces of the people waiting in the courtyard who were waiting for the master's house.
The grandmother pinched her waist with one hand, waved the handkerchief in her hand with the other, and roared angrily: "Listen to everything inside and out, no matter who you used to serve in the master's house or what kind of work you did, when it comes to me, who treats everyone equally and dares to offend your guests, this mother-in-law is an example." ”
Liu Qingyan secretly convinced herself that a woman can make the business of human teeth prosperous, and she is really a ruthless character!
After Sun Yapo finished yelling, she turned around and apologized to Liu Qingyan with a pleasant face, "It's my Sun Yapo who has no way to train her, so that Miss will laugh, and I hope Miss will bear with me." ”
"It doesn't matter, Sun Yapo doesn't need to mind." Liu Qingyan smiled on her face, but she was thinking about whether she should use this as an excuse for a while to let Sun Yapo discount more.
The clattering and screaming in the corner ceased, and the woman was dragged into the house like a dead dog, and the episode ended.
Together with the young people selected earlier, Liu Qingyan chose a total of seven people, two men, three women, one of whom was a couple, and another sixteen-year-old boy, and the three of them belonged to a family.
The two young men were worth eighteen taels each, the middle-aged man was fifteen taels, the woman was thirteen taels, and the seven men were worth one hundred and fifty taels in total.
Buying seven people at a time is considered a big customer, and Sun Yapo generously erases the odds for a repeat customer, and only charges a hundred taels.
Liu Qingyan paid off the money, got the deed of sale and was about to leave, when the family of three suddenly knelt on the ground and begged.
"Miss, we were born to a big family, my father has passed away, and my mother is still here, I beg Miss to be kind and buy my mother together, leaving my mother alone, we are really not at ease."
"Miss Daen, although my mother-in-law is old, her body is still healthy, and she has done all the heavy and fine work, please take it in."
"Please be kind, I will work hard to share the burden for my grandmother."
Liu Qingyan's eyebrows were twisted, why did she suddenly have this one more, and turned her suspicious gaze to Sun Yapo.
With a look of embarrassment, Grandma Sun explained: "Their family of four is a child, because the master moved his family to the north, he thought it was too troublesome to travel thousands of miles with his subordinates, so they all resold it together. ”
The Liu family is all kind-hearted, Liu Bowen saw that this family of three was really pitiful, and said to Liu Qingyan: "Yan'er, I bought seven anyway, and it doesn't matter if I buy one more, if we let the family separate the flesh and blood, how can we bear it." ”
Liu Qingyan thought about it, there was still a janitor at home, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's buy it together." ”
When the family of three heard this, they hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
Sun Yapo went into the backyard and called out the old woman, Liu Qingyan saw that the old woman was about her early fifties, her legs and feet were quite sharp, and she should be able to cope with it if she looked at the gate or something.
Sun Yapo found out the old woman's deed of sale and handed it to Liu Qingyan, and said with a smile: "Miss Liu is kind, my Sun Yapo is not such a ruthless person, this old woman can't do any work, you have to build a coffin when you buy it, I won't accept your money, it's a plus." ”
