Chapter 61: The Descendant
The house that Tan Qi bought in Fucheng is very large, and usually this kind of house may not be able to be bought for thousands of taels of silver.
Isn't this Tan Qi doing the Li family a great favor, the Li family is a little cheaper, and Tan Qi spent more than 800 taels to buy it.
The house is very quaint, because the Li family is only a merchant, according to the specifications, the gatehouse of his house is not big, but when you enter the door, it is very open.
Jiang Ying walked into the yard with Tan Baobao in his arms, and as soon as he entered, he saw that the yard was full of flowers and plants.
Talking about the baby to see those flowers and plants, happily stretched out his hand, babbling in his mouth, and his calves were also kicking hard, and he was very excited when he saw it.
Jiang Ying hugged her and bent over, so that her little hands could reach those flowers and plants.
Tan Baobao first touched a pomegranate tree in the yard, and as soon as she touched it, the pomegranate set up the horse and bloomed bright red flowers.
She touched the peony again, the peony had already bloomed a little defeated this season, but after the baby touched it, the buds appeared one by one, and soon bloomed in large clusters of flowers.
Jiang Ying walked over with Tan Baobao in her arms, and the flowers accompanied her along the way, and the fragrance was far away.
And Tan Qi resigned himself to doing coolies.
He was carrying a big backpack, which was filled with items commonly used by Jiang Ying and Tan Bao.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, there is a guest room and a study, and there is a small cross-courtyard here, which is reserved for the gatehouse and the next person to live.
The second courtyard is the master's residence, the second courtyard faces south is three main houses, with the east wing, there is a cross courtyard in the west, and the third courtyard is for the children of Tan Qi and Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying didn't go to Sanjin and the backyard to see, she hugged Tan Bao into the main room, Tan Bao was a little sleepy, Jiang Ying put her on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
Tan Qi covered Tan Baobao with a small thin quilt, and then pulled Jiang Ying to the hall to talk.
"The house is big, we have to buy a few people."
"Let's go to the human market in a moment." Jiang Ying also knew that she couldn't clean such a big house, and she would definitely have to add someone to the house.
Tan Qi snorted: "I am a Xiucai now, the number of subordinates is fixed, and there are only three subordinates who sign the death deed, and if it is not enough, I can only hire people." ”
Jiang Ying didn't know that there was such a thing: "There are not many people who are famous, do those wealthy businessmen only use three or five people in their families?" ”
Tan Qi smiled: "Naturally not, but they all used means and also sent money to the government." ”
Jiang Ying was reluctant to send money: "Let's buy two people who are responsible for the concierge and rough work first, and then buy a cook...... The rest will be added when you win. ”
If you lift people, you can use six people who are in the death contract, and you can use six people in the family to survive, but you can't be busy, and you can hire one or two long-term workers.
Jiang Ying and Tan Qi discussed, and in the afternoon, the family of three went to the market.
Jiang Ying sent him back to the ancient human market, and after entering, he saw that everything was very fresh.
She originally thought that the human market must be a dirty and messy place, but as a result, when she looked at it, it was quite clean and orderly.
There are many stalls in the market, each stall is quite large, the stall leaves an entrance, and the rest are surrounded by coarse cloth, and the place surrounded by coarse cloth or standing or sitting several look very thin, and their eyes are a little dull and numb.
A family of three looked at one stall after another.
Most of the people who sell here don't look very good, everyone is very thin, with sallow skin, giving people a crooked feeling.
Finally, Tan Qi stopped in front of a stall.
Jiang Ying stopped and looked, pointed to a forty or fifty-year-old man in the corner and asked Renyazi: "How is this calculated?" ”
Ren Yazi laughed and glanced at the man: "This is a little older, but he has a lot of strength, since the guest officer asked, let's be cheaper." ”
He gestured as he held out his hand.
Jiang Ying frowned: "It's too expensive, how much is a cow?" ”
"Is this comparable to a cow?" The human tooth reached out to pull the man.
The man looked up at him: "Stay away from me, black-hearted, I haven't been sick for many days, and I won't see ......"
Tan Qi angrily reprimanded people when he heard it: "What's going on? Do you want to sell us if you are sick? Still selling eight taels? ”
The fire in his belly was full of people's teeth, and he was angry and exposed it on the spot, seeing that this deal was about to be yellow, he couldn't be angry, and he picked up the whip on the side and was about to beat.
Tan Qi stretched out his hand and snatched the whip: "We didn't say we wouldn't buy it, what are you?" Hit in front of us, do you want to do business anymore? ”
Ren Yazi didn't expect that Tan Qi really wanted to buy it, and he also bought it if he was sick.
He nodded and smiled: "Look at me, I'm clumsy, I really can't talk and do things, since the guest officer sincerely wants to buy it, let's not go eight taels, how about six taels?" ”
Jiang Ying stretched out his hand and gestured: "Three taels, there is no more, the illness is like this, we have to treat him when we buy it." ”
Tan Qi also said: "I don't know how much it costs to see a doctor, if we don't see it, we will have both people and money." ”
Ren Yazi felt that three taels was too little, so he wanted to add more, but he didn't expect the man to fall to the ground with a bang.
As soon as he saw that he was going to smash his hand, he immediately didn't say how much it was: "Three taels, three taels is fine, the guest officer should take it away quickly." ”
When Jiang Ying and Tan Qi bought all the people and walked back, the man who was lying in the carriage turned over and sat up violently.
Tan Qi sat against the carriage, his eyes drooped slightly, and he didn't raise his eyelids: "Eat something." ”
Jiang Ying handed over a hot bun.
The man took it and gnawed it, and he gnawed it quickly and quickly.
The other two people next to him who had just bought it also took the buns and ate them.
The bun is a meat-filled bun, the dough is very good, the white and soft dough is wrapped in sweat and the meat is rich in the filling, the aroma of the noodles when you take a bite, the aroma of the meat, and the taste of the soup are fused and exploded in the mouth, and the delicious ones make people want to cry.
The three of them cooked more than a dozen buns in one go, and they didn't feel full, but Jiang Ying didn't eat them.
"You usually eat too little, and if you don't eat too much, you can't stand it, and you will hurt your body."
After hearing this, the three of them all sat upright, and no one said that they wanted to eat.
When he got home, Tan Qi called the man who had bought three taels of silver into the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the door, Tan Qi asked, "What did you do before?" ”
Yes, this man has a brand on his face, and at first glance he has committed something before, as for why he appeared in the human market and why he was picked up like goods, this is a bit intriguing.
The man didn't hide it, he stood there and said, "I've killed people before......"
Tan Qi listened quietly, and couldn't help but slap the table when he heard it: "It's light to kill them, if it were me, I would definitely make them unable to survive, unable to die, and live in fear and torment every day." ”
The man looked at Tan Qi gratefully.
Others say that it is not worth it for him to kill for his daughter, and to bury his life for a girl, which is really a bit too cost-effective.
Only Tan Qi understood and supported him, which made the man very moved.
