Chapter 27: The Scholar Who Sailed Away
"Don't spend money indiscriminately, your mother and I are still young, we don't need so many people, but the master of the voyage and Nian'er can consider it, the main thing is that you have to think more about yourself Pan'er, don't you need it?" Tian Yougui is a loyal farmer, and he knows that it is not easy to make money, and spending money must be spent on the blade.
At this moment, the Chinese mother-in-law had already walked out with a row of people, and after telling them to line up, she said to Tian Panyan: "Girl, these are all good cooks, you pick." ”
In fact, Tian Panyan is not particularly good at reading people, but she looked at their complexions, dresses, and asked a few words from time to time, but found 5 suitable candidates.
If you want to make 3 times the number of fairy potato cakes required by the soup shopkeeper, you have to find 6 people who are suitable, but there are only 5 of them at the moment, so Tian Panyan is already more satisfied.
After asking the Chinese mother-in-law about their prices, Tian Panyan was very satisfied and did not bargain, because he bought the money and made fairy potato cakes for two more days.
Just as Tian Panyan wanted to ask about the companion again, suddenly one of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Tian Panyan.
Tian Panyan was surprised and hurriedly asked her what happened.
The cook, who called herself Yun Niang, spoke very clearly: "There was a great flood in the slave's house, which washed away the slave's husband, and the family was gone, leaving me and three children who were waiting to be fed, and I had to come out to find a job, otherwise I would starve to death in the village." ”
"I don't know how far we went, but it was also a mouthful of food given by the Chinese mother-in-law, so that we would not starve to death, please buy our family from the Lord's family, so that we will not be separated!"
The tears are rampant, and the relatives are separated, so to speak of the situation in front of you!
The Chinese people couldn't bear it, looked at Tian Panyan, and waited for her to make a decision.
In fact, Yun Niang is the person who answered the most neatly in this group of people, it turned out that although she was in the village, she was also very good at food.
For excellent billets, Tian Panyan didn't mind her making this request, so she said to the Chinese mother-in-law: "Her children are all brought out for me to see." ”
"It's best if it's suitable to be a scholar for Yuanhang." This is Tian Panyan's idea.
After a while, Yun Niang's three children were all led out, two boys and one girl, the elder brother was obviously older, and the other two looked like twins.
The three of them don't look too old, and they are all yellow and thin, and their clothes are ragged, and the moment they saw their mother, they were about to pounce, but they were stopped by Yun Niang's look. The three of them stood in front of her, lined up.
Very good, at least the tutor is good. Tian Panyan thought to himself.
"What's your name? How old you are, what kind of ability you will have, let's talk about it one by one. "Since it's a buyout, these basic news still need to be known, they can't raise three mouths in vain, they also have to show their skills.
"My name is Xu Changmao, I am 13 years old this year, and I can basically do all the hard work at home." At this time, the man who looked like the eldest brother began to introduce himself.
"Well, that's good." Tian Panyan thought to himself, this person is one year older than himself, but he is not as tall as himself, thinking that it is because of malnutrition or the boy's late growth. If you take good care of yourself in the future, you can earn a lot of money for yourself in the future.
"My name is Xu Qiugu, I am 8 years old this year, and I will give my brother a hand." At this time, the younger brother also began to introduce himself, afraid that he had no skills, was not left by the master, and wanted to be separated from his mother and brother, he could only say this.
"It's okay, can you read?" Two years older than Yuanhang, the scholar who did the Yuanhang was also fine.
"I don't know how to read." Akiya replied honestly, and was afraid that such an answer would displease the master, so he blushed and lowered his head.
"If you don't recognize it, it doesn't matter, if you learn to read, will you be able to suffer?" It doesn't matter if you don't have a foundation, what matters is that you can endure hardships, otherwise you can buy a kid who can't endure hardships and go back to what to do.
"I can endure hardships, and I can do whatever my master tells me to do." Akiya replied honestly.
"Good. What about the little girl? What is your name? Tian Panyan saw that the two were almost the same age, but the little girl was obviously bolder, thinking that the mother and son had gone through so much hardship, no matter how small their courage was, they had also been sharpened and grown.
"Hello sister, my name is Xu Qiudie, I am 8 years old this year, I can make clothes, embroidery, pigweed, cooking, I can do a lot." The little girl Dao seemed much more lively than the two elder brothers.
"Oh? Sounds pretty good. Tian Panyan understood, and then said to the Chinese mother-in-law: "I bought all 3 of them, I don't know how much silver is needed?" ”
In fact, these things can be done by adults, and only one person's meal is enough, hearing that the three little guys can only these things, the Chinese thought that this little girl would be dissatisfied, not to buy, but I didn't expect it to be unexpected.
However, the Chinese people also have eyes, and the other party has bought so many people, and he is a big customer, and he can't be offended.
Therefore, the price of these three people is just the price of an adult.
The Chinese knew that Tian Panyan was very satisfied, and with their deed of sale, the family led a group of people back happily.
At present, there are so many people, and they have to arrange food and shelter, Tian Panyan bought a lot of coarse cloth, bought several quilts, and wrapped two ox carts to return to the newly bought house in the village.
The people of the village suddenly saw two ox carts entering the village, which were very novel, and for a time the road was full of people who came to see the excitement.
Everyone chattered, only to hear that the largest and most luxurious house in the village had been sold, and they didn't know who bought it.
Now that they see someone coming, they must have bought the house.
And when they saw so many people coming, they thought to themselves, it's not a big family, there are many people, but among these many people, there may be people.
When the villagers in the distance walked in, they couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw Tian Lao Er's family sitting in the car, and they all asked, "Tian Lao Er, have your family been sold as servants?" ”
No wonder they think so, in the past, Tian Lao Er was still like them, talking about the house together, saying that if anyone can live in that house in the future, it is really a blessing for three lives, and the tone is still so envious, they would not have thought that Tian Lao Er's family would be the master if they wanted to break their toes.
After half a day of getting along, Yun Niang's family already knew that the main surname was Tian, and then a newly bought cook said quickly: "Who are you?" How to talk nonsense! This is our grandfather! ”
When everyone heard that Tian Lao Er had become a "master", they all gasped, but they didn't expect that Tian Lao Er would become a "master" after not seeing him for two or three months!
