The next day at noon.

Kyoto Higashijo Meitokibo.

Jia Yun went to the Gong Wei Division to finish the work, arranged some guard work, and then came here with Qingwen, who was carrying a small burden.

Qingwen's eyes widened when she looked at the "big mansion" in front of her, this big mansion couldn't be taken down without a few thousand taels, she never expected her master to be so rich.

It's not that Qingwen hasn't seen the world, although the courtyard here is wide, it is much worse than the Guogong Mansion, she was surprised by how Jia Yun bought the house in front of her, but although she had doubts, she didn't say much, the duty of the slave and maid still had to be clear.

At this moment, a middle-aged man from Zhuang Zhaiya who I had seen yesterday came over with a middle-aged man and hurriedly greeted: "Uncle, you came really early." ”

Jia Yun nodded.

The two tooth men looked very familiar, and after chatting happily, the two came to Jia Yun together.

"This is the buyer." Yesterday's Zhuang Zhaiya man introduced.

He heard that the master in front of him was a heroic lord, so he hurriedly took off his hat and saluted: "The little one's name is Yan San, please say hello to the son." ”

"Well, what about people? Why are you two wrong?" Yesterday, I said that I would bring someone to my house for Jia Yun to choose, but there were only two tooth people who came, and there was a fart.

Yan San flattered: "Uncle, I heard that you just bought a big mansion and want to buy a person, and the little one thinks that you are not only looking for some sweeping and sprinkling handymen, but also the housekeeper and everything else, so it is not easy to bring this person, if the uncle is not too troublesome, why not follow the kid to take a look, that is, cross a street, and it will not be delayed for a long time." ”

When Jia Yun heard this, he felt that it was reasonable, if he didn't choose, it wouldn't be in the way, but his own subordinates should take a closer look, with this thought, Jia Yun said: "What you said is also reasonable, if that's the case, then go and take a look." ”

Yan San couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, when he heard about it yesterday, he knew that the master in front of him was a big customer, so he made careful arrangements.

"Uncle, please come with the little one."

Jia Yun tilted his head and instructed Qingwen, "You wait in the room by yourself." ”

Since she is going to Yaxing, it is better for a little girl like Qingwen not to go, even if she may have seen it when she was a child before, but that kind of place is not a good place, just let her go to the house to stay first, under the city of Kyoto, Qingwen will not have anything to do if she stays in the house.

Qingwen heard the words and responded: "The slave and maid know. ”

Although Qingwen is sharp-tongued, she can still distinguish it in front of "outsiders", there is a difference between master and servant, Jia Yun often doesn't care about her rudeness, that is, Jia Yun doesn't care, but if outsiders lose the face of the master, it is not a joke.

Jia Yun nodded and followed Yan San across a street, and together they came to a large warehouse.

Before entering the warehouse, Yan San whispered to Jia Yun: "Son, there are special handymen, experienced housekeepers, and bright and smooth ...... Hey, you choose, you pick. ”

After speaking, Yan San beckoned Jia Yun to enter the warehouse, asked Jia Yun to sit down, and then brought another fragrant tea, and said flatteringly: "Uncle, you can choose at will later, and whoever you choose will say." ”

Jia Yun took a sip, thought for a moment, and beckoned: "Choose a housekeeper first!" ”

In the house, it is better to choose a housekeeper first.

Yan San greeted him when he heard this, and suddenly more than a dozen middle-aged men walked in, and immediately began to introduce him under Yan San's eyes, and said, "The little one's name is Zhu Jing, and he used to be a housekeeper in two large households, but because the former lord ......."

The housekeepers introduced them one by one, and finally Jia Yun's eyes stopped on a man wearing a black round-necked robe, about forty years old, this robe looked more formal, but there were a lot of patches on it.

"It's you, stand in the back."

The man named Li Fu bowed and said, "Thank you, Son, ......."

After choosing the housekeeper, Jia Yun looked at Yan San again and instructed: "The handymen in the house should be hard-working." ”

Yan San understood, waved his hand and took the lonely "housekeeper" down, and immediately thirty or forty young men walked in, all of whom were coarse linen shirts with many patches on their bodies.

Jia Yun's eyes gestured to the young man on the left, the young man was also very clever, and he came up directly and knelt in front of Jia Yun and said: "The little one's name is Xue Liu, I live in Xuejia Village, I have strength, I can endure hardships, and I don't eat much, four cakes a day are enough, no!" Three! ”

Jia Yun glanced at Xue Liu in front of him and ordered, "Stand in the back." ”

"Thank you, Childe! Thank you, Son! There were three knocks, and Xue Liu and Steward Li stood together.

Seeing that Xue Liu was also taken away, the rest of the people suddenly couldn't help it, and shouted in front of Jia Yun one by one.

"Son, my name is Liu Fu! I only eat three cakes, so you want me too! ”

"Childe! I can also endure hardships! I also have strength! ”

Jia Yun was not surprised when he saw this situation, these people knew at a glance that they were all children of poor families, and they couldn't afford to eat, if they went to other people's houses as handymen, not to mention food and accommodation, they could also receive monthly money, which was a great good thing.

Don't say anything about enslaving others, in this era, if you recruit them into the government as errands, it is to save their lives, if this person's teeth are gone, many children of poor families who have no livelihood will not be able to live.

Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Yan San hurriedly walked up and shouted, "What a fuss!" I want to die, don't you! Stand back for me! ”

Obviously, Yan San was still very authoritative in this group of people, and the people who were still gossiping about themselves just now all lowered their heads and stood back in place.

When the situation was under control, Yan San said to Jia Yun with a smile: "Son, don't be like them, they are all mud legs and have no education, if you don't like these, give a little time, and I will help you find a batch of better ones." ”

Jia Yun didn't have time to wait, the house still needed to be cleaned by hand, waving his hand at Yan San, Jia Yun said, "No need." ”

"Hey, then you can pick and choose." After Yan San finished speaking, he retreated to the back.

Then Jia Yun quickly picked ten people in the crowd, which was actually a little less for his mansion, but it was not a big deal, if he needed it in the future, he would buy it again.

"That's all for these people, let the rest disperse." Jia Yun waved his hand.

After choosing the miscellaneous servants, the rest is naturally the maid.

Under Yan San's greeting, a total of twenty or so flower season girls walked in, all of them had willow thin waists, and their clothes were different from others.

Jia Yun raised his eyes and looked at Yan San, Yan San hurriedly explained: "Uncle, you are a nobleman, the maids who serve you naturally have to choose lovely people, most of them are from large families, and they are also our goods at the bottom of the box, if it weren't for you, uncle, the small ones would be reluctant to take them out." ”

Those who can afford to buy a big mansion naturally have no shortage of silver, so Yan San picked out some good goods for Jia Yun to choose from, ready to make a lot of money.

Jia Yun knew very well that how could the so-called big families send their relatives to other people's houses to be maids, presumably the big families that Yan San said were the relatives of those who committed crimes.

The officials who committed serious crimes in the Great Qian Dynasty not only had their property confiscated, but their wives, daughters, and maids were often reduced to slavery and provided for the servants of the families of meritorious heroes.

It's like Jiafu was copied, and many of the female maids in the house were auctioned, and Shi Xiangyun was also sold into the Qinglou painting boat.

This kind of slave who was reduced to slavery because of his sin was called a red deed slave, and unlike the kind of white deed slave who voluntarily sold himself into slavery, although these two types of slaves were slaves, their status was different.

In the "Great Cadre Laws and Household Service", there is the following article:

"If the owner is unable to provide for the slave or has a little labor, and is willing to have him redeemed himself, he shall still be allowed to redeem him, and if the owner does not wish to do so, he shall not be allowed to redeem him. He has drunk and abducted and escaped, etc., all of which will be punished according to the case of the Red Deed family, and if there are those who rely on the force to ransom themselves, they will still be dealt with according to the regulations. ”

From the above, it can be seen that a white deed slave can redeem himself as long as the master is willing to let him redeem himself, while a red deed slave cannot redeem himself at will, because the white deed slave is forced to sell himself as a last resort due to his livelihood, while the red deed slave is his own family member who has committed a felony and is punished as a slave.

Jia Yun looked at the good-looking maid in front of him, waved his hand and said, "I just need some sweeping maids, and I don't need to be around." ”

Although these maids are of good quality, the price is not low, and even if they can afford to buy them, there is no need to spend money in vain.

Yan San was stunned when he heard this, among these people, this group of people had the biggest profits, and he was still counting on making a lot of money, but he didn't expect that the master in front of him would not buy it.

Yan San's eyes gestured to the little girl on the side, and four more beautiful girls came immediately.

"Uncle, these four are the "skinny horses" that the warehouse has cultivated since childhood, and they are rare and tight, do you have the palm of your hand? ”

The so-called "thin horse" is a delicate woman who has been specially trained to be slim and weak.

In fact, "thin horse" is a profiteering profession, rich families take concubines, some people take a fancy to the "business opportunities" here, the little girl is divided into three, six, nine and so on, called "thin horse", like cattle to buy and sell.

Most of these "skinny horses" are poor women, who are forced to learn all kinds of skills to please men from an early age, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even have to be professionally practiced for their modest manners, and when they grow up, they are sold to giants as concubines or enter Yanliu Lane.

Of course, the people in the dental shop are not necessarily willing to sell themselves, they will also choose young girls from the hands of the flower children, generally under the age of ten, and the kind that looks good, and can grow up to become beautiful embryos.

They will spend a few taels of silver to buy back these little girls, and when they sell them, they are generally more than 1,000 taels of silver, and some of them can be sold for thousands of taels of silver, a proper profiteering industry.

Xiangling was sold to traffickers after being abducted by Paihuazi, and fell into the hands of the Xue family in a circle.

Yan San secretly glanced at Jia Yun, and when he saw that his expression was as usual, he shouted: "Give me some spirit!" The master you are going to serve in the future is here, why don't you hurry up and salute? ”

"Meet Childe."

The four "thin horses" shouted in unison, Wu Nong whispered.

ps: Whether you want to buy it or not, it's embarrassing.
