Chapter 764: Blend In
Zhu Di and Zhu Fan are still opposed to Zhu Su personally risking his life. However, Zhu Su had made up his mind, and the two of them couldn't say anything more.
It's just that why did he protect Zhu Su thoughtfully, Zhu Fan asked Zhuang Ergou, who was the head snake of the land, to act with Zhu Su, and Zhu Di was going to prepare the soldiers and horses, preparing that if Zhu Su encountered any danger, he would not care about 3721, and take action to take this city first.
Zhu Su acted very quickly, and in the afternoon of the same day, under the leadership of Zhuang Ergou, he came to the human market of Yingtianfu.
It is said to be a human market, but in fact, the appearance is a rather elegant three-entry compound, and there are even a few clusters of begonias planted at the gate of the courtyard, which is quite stylish and elegant. At the door, there were two sturdy little guys with small hats, and when they saw Zhu Su, who was dressed as a rich man, he wanted to break in at the door, and one of the little guys immediately came forward to stop him, and said with a smile: "This lord, sorry to disturb your interest, this is not a realm that people can enter, if you want to come in, please show the invitation card of the referrer." ”
"Invitations?" Zhu Su was stunned for a moment, revealing a rather curious look. He really hadn't been to the human market, but he didn't know that there were such elaborate rules. Seeing that he was politely stopped, Zhuang Ergou, who came with him behind him, hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and sneered: "Fifth Brother Li, hello, do you still know the little one?" This son came to Yingtian for the first time, and wanted to buy a few house slaves to serve the left and right, but he was brought here by a small courage, but there was no one to recommend him......"
"Huh?" The little guy looked at Zhuang Ergou's somewhat familiar face, looked at it for a long time, and finally remembered him as the person. "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Zhuang begging for food in the east of the city."
"Didn't Brother Zhuang always make a living in the east of the city? How did you meet this son? Could it be that there is some kind of origin? ”
In addition to begging, Zhuang Ergou occasionally takes some rough work such as running errands in this city, so this little guy who guards the door also has some impressions of him. They are accustomed to seeing three sects and nine streams, and they are used to knowing how to listen to what they say, so they do not express their disdain for Zhuang Ergou, who was originally a beggar next to Zhu Su. It's just that the temptation in the words can't be concealed no matter what.
"Don't don't, don't, villains can't climb high!" Zhuang Ergou waved his hand again and again when he heard this, first glanced at Zhu Su with a "fearful" face, and saw that Zhu Su did not show anger, so he turned his head to the "Fifth Brother Li" and said: "The little one doesn't dare to compare with this son, this son is a noble person of the Pingliang Hou Fei family." ”
"That Pingliang Marquis has made a great contribution in the west, and when he returns to Beijing this time, he thinks he will be crowned the prince of the country. Therefore, this cousin and nephew of the Marquis of Pingliang, who was originally in Zhongdu, specially came to Beijing to congratulate his parents. This trip to Daohe will not leave, to take root at the feet of this son of heaven, the little one happened to beg to his house, Meng Gongzi Ye Qingyan, asked me where I can buy slaves and maids, the little one said a few more words, and recommended this master to Brother Li You ......"
Zhuang Ergou bowed on the one hand, and explained Zhu Su's "origin" like pouring beans on a bamboo tube. That Fifth Brother Li is a personal sperm, and when he heard it, he naturally understood that this "noble son" was a distant relative of Pingliang Hou Feiju, and when he heard that his relatives were going to be developed this time, he would be stationed in this capital to "fight the autumn wind".
In the past few years, many people in the court have had ups and downs, and there are many such people, and Zhu Su is also just right, showing a bit of the unruly appearance of a gentleman, and Fifth Brother Li is even less suspicious, but there is a little disdain in his eyes.
It turned out to be a hillbilly from other places, you must know that this is the capital, don't say that Fei Hou Ye is not a national prince, even if he really becomes a national prince, throwing a brick here can knock down the territory of many royal relatives, and the relatives of a national grandfather have to be people with their tails between their legs.
But the name of Pingliang Houfu is not something he can afford to provoke. I heard that this Marquis of Pingliang followed the Fourth Highness and the Fifth Highness, in the west of the extreme west, and just destroyed a Fanbang with two brushes, not to mention the ferociousness at this time, not to mention that the two Highnesses who were good friends with him are now the celebrities of the government and the opposition, and they are the existence that even His Majesty values very much. Moreover, Fei Houye himself is also in the Huaixi lineage, and I don't know how many martial arts generals have an old relationship. In case he annoys Fei Hou Ye because of this Pan relationship, Fei Hou Ye will definitely not be able to afford to be guilty even if he moves his fingers slightly.
Therefore, Fifth Brother Li rolled his eyes, and immediately made a decision. He decisively put on a more friendly smile, and said with a sneer: "It turned out to be the son of the Pingliang Hou family, please forgive the little one for having no eyes, the son first entered the capital, and when the reputation spread later, the little ones naturally recognized it." ”
"Do you want to buy some slaves and maids who serve in the house? It's okay, please, please! You watch the threshold, and the second way you go inside is the door. ”
The invitation system is adopted in the human market, in order to put an end to idle people and some prodigal people from poor backgrounds, who obviously can't afford to buy people, but they have to enter the human market to swagger and cheat. However, the rules are dead, people are alive, and it is not worth it to risk offending the Pingliang Marquis Mansion for the sake of a dead rule. That Zhuang Ergou is a familiar face, forgive him and don't dare to deceive the people on his side.
Zhu Su saw that this guy was decisively released, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. I had expected that the market would be open for business, and even if there was a threshold, it would not be too high. Sure enough, this level was easily passed.
After all, although this business is not in the stream, it has always been a case that the people do not hold officials accountable. The imperial court also has a workshop department used to sell the children of convicts.
After entering the courtyard gate under the permission of Fifth Brother Li, Zhuang Ergou bent down and said to Zhu Su: "Son, this human city is like this." This first into the courtyard, mostly to buy some of the big families in the house of the maid maids, naturally those inferior people will not be in this courtyard, you go into the house to drink tea, since the shopkeeper of the city asked your needs, with a picture album to choose for you. ”
"If you choose, they will send people from the almshouse outside the city to your house, and if you are not satisfied with it in person, there is still a chance to return it."
"This second entry is to buy some rough work Tartars, Dongying slaves and the like. There is not much difference between these people, you need a few more, and after you order it, someone will send it to your house to hand over to you. ”
"It's okay to return or exchange if you want, but it's not necessary. If you want to find someone to raise cattle and horses, then these Tartars who used to be subordinate to the Yuan rebellion and the Central Plains are all good hands, but most of them are unruly. If you want to farm, although the Dongying slaves are not as good as our Ming people, and the Dongying Wokou are also fierce, but those farmers who took the initiative to come to the Ming Dynasty from Dongying to beg for a living are more or less appropriate. Just don't buy those Koreans, those people are afraid of hard and soft, stealing and cheating, and they are good at talking......"
Zhuang Ergou led Zhu Su to the side, and deliberately said loudly to Zhu Su about the doorway of this human city, which was really like leading a son and brother who did not understand the world.
Fifth Brother Li, who was still worried about them behind him, listened to these words in his ears, and finally completely relieved his doubts, turned around and went back to the door to continue screening customers.
Zhu Su saw these in his eyes with his spare eyes, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a smile that had succeeded in his plan.
