Chapter 140: Twin Sisters
"Hey, isn't this Chen Juren? Are you going to choose a subordinate to do rough work, or some sturdy mother-in-law?" a guy immediately greeted him and said, "There are also servants and girls here." ”
"A waiter. Chen Changjie said.
"Yes, yes, yes. The guy hurriedly nodded and said, "Two of you, please." ”
"Who are these people?" Lin Xiqi couldn't help but ask when he saw those people waiting to be bought.
"Most of them were sold here by their families. The man said, "It's good to come here, and if you meet a kind master's family, you may be able to live better than your own home." Some women were bought into the kiln, and it was miserable. ”
Lin Xiqi disagreed, only a few were lucky, and most of them worked hard until they died.
Besides, even if the women are here, a large part of them will still be bought by the people in the kiln.
"This is the area of the girl, the youngest is five or six years old, and the older one is in his twenties. The guy took Lin Xiqi and the two to a small courtyard and said.
"Little girl, you dare to beat me, look for death!" Just as they walked to the gate of the courtyard, they suddenly heard angry scolding from inside.
"What's going on, what's going on?" shouted the fellow as he hurried into the courtyard.
Lin Xiqi saw that there were several people dressed as housekeepers in the small courtyard, under the command of a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper, pulling and pulling with the two girls.
Lin Xiqi could see that these two girls should have practiced some kung fu, even if they were handcuffed and shackled, these family members couldn't help them for a while.
In particular, there is a clear slap mark on the face of this middle-aged steward, which is obviously done by these two girls.
Same?
Lin Xiqi was a little surprised, these two girls were still twins, their clothes were a little torn, and their faces were a little dirty, but they could still see that the two of them looked very delicate, and they should be one or two years younger than themselves.
"I'm going to ask for these two girls, how much silver. When the steward saw the man coming in, he couldn't help but ask hurriedly.
"Bah, even if we die, we won't go back with you. One of the girls shouted angrily.
"Hehe, that's up to you. When the time comes, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up!" the middle-aged steward said with a sneer.
"These two girls are very rare, rare twin sisters, twelve years old this year, looking at their appearance, they will definitely be first-class beauties in two years. The guy hurriedly laughed.
"No more nonsense. The steward shouted, "What's the matter, I'm afraid that my Wang family won't be able to pay for it?"
"Don't dare, who in Sandao County doesn't know about the Wang family?" What are just two girls?" the guy hurriedly smiled, "The two of them have a total of three thousand taels." ”
"Three thousand taels?" the steward's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Do you think I have no knowledge or what? Even if it is an oiran in the city, three thousand taels is enough to redeem oneself." ”
"Lord steward, look at the little appearance of these two, after two years, they are not as good as those Oiran? These are two chicks, look, the two look the same, if they are in the room and sleep together at night, then ~~hehe~~ is wonderful~~" The guy said with a lewd face.
"Three thousand taels is three thousand taels!" the steward seemed to be a little moved, and shouted.
The two girls listened to their shameless words, and their faces were ashamed and angry.
"We're going to die right here!" said the girl angrily.
"I'll add a hundred taels. Lin Xiqi said suddenly.
Hearing that the other party was a member of the Wang family, Lin Xiqi didn't plan to fulfill them.
Besides, he also thinks these two girls are good.
Serving his own maid ring, you can't find a very ugly one, she looks good, and she looks pleasing to the eye.
"Who are you, do you know who I am?" said the steward of the Wang family, staring at Lin Xiqi.
"Three thousand one hundred taels. Lin Xiqi ignored it and said to the guy who brought him over, "You can make a deal, right?"
"Nature, nature. The guy smiled and said, "Lord Steward, you see, we are also a small business, and the one with the highest price will get ......."
"You really dare to offend our Wang family?" said the steward as he stared at Lin Xiqi again.
"What's the matter, you don't know me?" Chen Changjie coughed lightly.
Only then did the steward see Chen Changjie, and his face changed slightly.
He still knew Chen Changjie, but he still sneered and said: "It turned out to be Chen Juren, what's the matter, is it your yamen who wants to buy people? But you shouldn't be forced to buy and sell, right? I'll give you another hundred taels." ”
He remembered that he heard that the magistrate was a teenager, and it seemed that this was it.
He is a member of the Wang family, but he will not be afraid of any magistrate, let alone Chen Changjie.
"Three thousand five hundred taels. Lin Xiqi said lightly.
The steward of the Wang family looked a little ugly, glared at Lin Xiqi, snorted coldly, turned around and left.
It is impossible for him to shout again, because if he shouts again, he will have to post his own money, and he will not do such a thing.
"Haole, this son, the two of them are yours. The guy laughed.
sold an extra five hundred taels, and he was still very happy in his heart.
"The two of them have a clear background, right?" asked Lin Xiqi.
"This son, please rest assured, we don't have anyone of unknown origin here, the two of them were sold here by his uncle. Signatures and drawings are available. The guy said.
"But really?" Lin Xiqi turned his head and asked the two women.
The woman who spoke just now snorted coldly, turned her head, and didn't make a sound.
Another woman spoke up, "He's right. ”
"This is the silver ticket, and bring their deeds of sale. Lin Xiqi took out a silver ticket and handed it to this guy and said.
Lin Xiqi and Chen Changjie didn't stay here any longer, and returned to the county office with the two women.
On the way, Lin Xiqi also bought several sets of dresses for the two girls.
After some grooming, the two girls stood in front of Lin Xiqi.
I haven't dressed up much, but now I look fresher and more lovely than before.
"What's your name, who is my sister and who is my sister?" Lin Xiqi asked.
The two are exactly the same, and I really can't tell who is big and who is small.
"Su Qingmei (Su Qinglan). The two women replied.
Su Qingmei is the elder sister and Su Qinglan is the younger sister, both of whom are twelve years old.
From the accounts of these two people, Lin Xiqi also knew the origin of the two.
The two of them came from a small sect called 'Shishanmen' in Jiuquan County, whose head was their father, and there were more than a dozen senior brothers under them.
Three months ago, because they offended the Black Cliff Gate, the Shishan Gate was destroyed up and down, and their parents desperately let the two of them escape.
Originally, they went to their uncle, who was also in Jiuquan County.
Unexpectedly, their uncle was afraid of offending the Black Cliff Gate, so he didn't dare to take them in, and finally sold them directly here.
"And such an uncle?" Lin Xiqi said in surprise after hearing this.
"We don't have an uncle. Su Qinglan said coldly.
Lin Xiqi glanced at her, and from the tone of these two women, he could see that this sister was more spicy, and her sister was very quiet.
"Stay here in the future. Lin Xiqi said.
"Aren't you afraid of the Black Cliff Gate?" asked Su Qinglan.
"Joke, this is Dunhuang County, Sandao County, not Jiuquan County. Lin Xiqi smiled, "Can they still run here to spread wilderness in the Black Cliff Gate, do you know who I am?"
"It seems to be the magistrate. Su Qinglan muttered, "You are not a few years older than us, how can you be the magistrate?
"Qinglan, don't be rude. Su Qingmei scolded her sister, and then said to Lin Xiqi, "My lord's forgiveness." ”
