Chapter 111 Buying Someone - The Prince Wants to Be Jealous
Chapter 111 Buying Someone - The Prince Wants to Be Jealous
The person chosen by Ling Chenglong and the others stood out alone, and it was Zhao Han and his wife's turn next. The two looked at each other, and Han Fei stood up and was responsible for the selection. Since he was choosing a book boy for his son, he must be from there. A few children chose, but there were four or five children in total. No matter which one Han Fei went to, the children would cower and lean towards the adults next to them. Obviously, they were all children from other people's families. If he bought the children, it would be equivalent to Let the family's flesh and blood be separated.
"Jingxuan, I think we'll talk about the selection of book boys later."
After all, he is not a cruel person, and their family does not need to buy it with adults, so Han Fei can only give up temporarily. Fortunately, the child is still young, so he will say hello to Liu Baoren later, and buy it later if there is a child who is alone That's it.
"What's the matter with you? You still want to hold it in my hands? You are lucky to be selected by Brother Han. Didn't you hear what Brother Ling said? Brother Han chose the book boy for his young master. In the future, you Maybe I can learn a few more words, and it is possible to get rid of your slave status after serving you, don't be ignorant of flattery."
Before Ling Jingxuan could speak, Liu Baoren jumped out ferociously. Don't blame him for speaking too harshly. In their line of work, if they are too gentle, it will never work. Kindness is the last thing they need.
"Can the slave status be removed?" Ling Jingxuan raised his eyebrows, approaching Yan Chengrui and asked in a low voice, he thought that if he became a slave, he would be a slave forever.
"Well, but you can only remove your slave status with the master's permission, and you can't redeem it yourself. Otherwise, those big families may have no slaves to use. The maids and servants of the rich and powerful families are more valuable than some unfavored masters. The face, and the money is not lacking." Nodding, Yan Shengrui himself is used to opening his mouth, he used to wonder how he would know, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of a reason, and as time passed, he was too lazy to tangle up.
"Really!"
Cursing his lips, Ling Jingxuan glanced lightly at the old Song family with his smiling eyes. As far as he knew, slaves and men and women were not easy to marry. When it was time to marry, he could consider getting rid of their slavery, but the premise was that they had to sign an employment contract with him, otherwise he would be training them in vain, and he would not do thankless things.
A fake smile can fool everyone, but it can't escape Yan Shengrui's sight. When he sensed the warmth in his eyes, the pampering in Yan Shengrui's eyes became even more pampering. Who said that their Jingxuan came here viciously?Isn't this good? People complement each other. As long as you treat him well, he will definitely repay you. Of course, the opposite is also the same. You must bear his counterattack thousands of times.
"Let's go, it's time for us to choose someone."
When Liu Baoren yelled, Han Fei, the buyer, was embarrassed instead. Ling Jingxuan shook his head helplessly, stood up with Yan Shengrui, and walked past those people seemingly casually, but Danfeng's eyes were sharper than Radar's. All the emotions that flashed in an instant came into my eyes. When the first row was about to finish, Ling Jingxuan stopped in front of a thin and sallow girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old at most.
"What's your name?" The girl was very shy, she didn't dare to look at them at all, she lowered her head and said softly like a mosquito: "Master Huiling, the maidservant's name is Xiaosui, Liu Xiaosui."
Generally, the servants who fell into the hands of Ren Yazi would simply train them. Although Liu Xiaosui was shy and shy, she answered politely, "He's a clever one, raise your head and let me see."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he called him Mr. Ling accurately. He was obviously a child who could see all directions and listen to all directions. Ling Jingxuan couldn't help but smiled and looked at Yan Shengrui, who also gave him a positive look. It doesn't matter if the slave is jerky. It is cleverness and loyalty, and the rest can be cultivated slowly.
"Yes Yes??"
Liu Xiaosui's body trembled almost imperceptibly, and he raised his head almost stiffly, only his skinny face was sallow, no beauty or ugliness could be seen, the only thing that could be seen were those round eyes. With big eyes, Ling Jingxuan nodded in satisfaction: "How old are you this year? Did you work in other places before?"
"Master, this servant is thirteen this year. Because my family is too poor, my parents sold me to support my younger siblings. I haven't worked anywhere else yet."
Lowering her head, Liu Xiaosui still answered in a low voice, but her words were clear. She was 13 years old like Shui Linger, but she looked a whole size younger than Shui Linger. Ling Jingxuan's face was unmoved, and he asked casually with his sleeves full: "Would you like to stay?"
Money is not afraid of not being able to buy people, and he doesn't bother to force others.
"Will? Yes." Liu Xiaosui looked at them timidly, and nodded with a blushing face. Compared with those old fritters who had seen the riches and honours, she who was also born in a poor family seemed to have returned home when the carriage entered the village. After entering this home, she has been paying close attention to their conversations, faintly feeling that they are easy to get along with, as long as she works diligently, the master will definitely not treat her badly.
"Well, go and wait."
Casually pouting, Ling Jingxuan walked again, and the two of them walked leisurely and leisurely among a group of people who were waiting for a price. The picture was indescribably inconsistent, but strangely harmonious. A child, about five or six years old, Ling Jingxuan's footsteps paused, but he gave up after seeing an adult with wandering eyes beside him.
"What's your name?"
Stopping in front of a girl who is obviously thin and tender, whose beauty cannot be concealed by coarse linen clothes, Ling Jingxuan raised his eyebrows, and looked at her hand thoughtfully. The reason why this woman can attract his attention is all because of it. Because of the arrogance in her eyes, for others, arrogance is indispensable, but if it is in the eyes of a slave, it is obviously a bit inappropriate. This kind of woman is either a chaste woman or a vicious woman. There are three possibilities, and from the fact that her face is thin and tender, but her hands are full of blisters and calluses, it can be seen that she should belong to the first one.
The girl didn't answer him right away, she looked back and forth at him with her beautiful starry eyes and then at Yan Shengrui before lowering her eyes and saying in a low voice: "My maidservant's name is Gui Yun. As an errand, the name is given by the eldest lady, if Master Ling is willing to buy me, I will ask the master to give me a name in the future."
She explained all her information in just one sentence. She is obviously a very assertive girl. For some reason, although her attitude is still quite humble, it reminds Ling Jingxuan of modern girls, and she is inevitably more cordial. .
"Well, I will be called Ling Yun from now on, let's go."
"Yes, sir."
Gui Yun, no, it should be called Ling Yun now. Ling Yun bowed his knees respectfully, and walked towards Liu Xiaosui and his party with lotus steps. Those who come from rich families are different, and their etiquette and upbringing are all high standards. Ling Jingxuan expressed his satisfaction, okay? ?Yan Shengrui next to him was unhappy, who asked his wife to choose a big beauty.
"We are going to choose a job, don't choose a woman anymore."
Taking a step closer to his ear, Yan Shengrui said in a low voice almost gnashing his teeth, women should be women, he still chooses good-looking ones, isn't it intentional to cause trouble for him?
Turning his head suspiciously, the naked jealousy in his peach blossom eyes undisguisedly fell into his eyes, Ling Jingxuan was startled, and then couldn't help laughing, what was he thinking, isn't he just a woman, what about it?
As if seeing the complaints in his heart, Yan Shengrui hugged his waist fiercely, and squeezed his waist fiercely with his palms as a warning. Ling Jingxuan shook his head amusedly, and walked away, finally A four or five-year-old child stopped in front of him.
"Master Ling, if you want to buy dog eggs, can you buy us all? Our husband and wife can both work. Although my father is older, he can drive a car and is a veteran at growing crops. Now our family only This one lifeline is left, please be merciful, Mr. Ling, don't distract us, we will definitely repay you like cows and horses."
Before he could open his mouth, the middle-aged man standing beside him pulled the oldest old man and a disheveled woman to kneel down straight, and the four or five-year-old child was leaning on the woman's arms. A little frightened, but his big dark eyes stared at Ling Jingxuan for a moment, and his small mouth was tightly pursed into a straight line.
Ling Jingxuan turned his head and exchanged a look with Yan Chengrui, they actually saw the shadow of Ling Wen in that child.
"Who are your names? Where are you from?"
Holding Ling Jingxuan's hands tightly, Yan Shengrui asked for the first time during the whole process of buying someone. Seeing this, Ling Jingxuan simply handed it over to him. His eyes slid across the remaining children, and one of them looked a little older. I stayed on the child's body for a while, and then moved away quickly. There is no rush to buy people, and you have to see each one clearly. Although if you buy something you don't like, you can just return it, but it's always annoying, isn't it?
"Back to this lord, the slave is called Tuesday, thirty-five this year, this is my father Zhou He, 52, this is my daughter-in-law Wu and son Zhou Changsheng, nicknamed Goudan, six years old, we I am from the south. This year, the south was flooded with floods. The family’s house, crops, brothers and mother, as well as my eldest son and daughter, all died. We had no choice but to flee to this place. Last month, my elderly father suddenly fell ill. , we don’t have money to buy medicine, we can’t sell ourselves as slaves, please be merciful to the two masters and buy our family.”
The man pulled his father and daughter-in-law and kowtowed to them. He heard what Liu Baoren said earlier. This family chose their children to serve as book boys for the princes. To separate, I can only take the risk of begging them.
"Floods in the south?" Yan Shengrui frowned unobtrusively, then quickly suppressed the unnaturalness, and turned to look at Ling Jingxuan: "What do you think?"
"It's fine for you to be in charge."
"Then buy them all."
The short conversation quickly decided the fate of the family. The adults surnamed Zhou obviously didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and they were a little too stupid to react. Even Xie En forgot, but that child was clever, Lala Mother didn't respond, she just knelt down: "Thank you two masters."
"Thank you two masters, thank you, thank you??"
Under his leadership, the whole family was so excited that they kowtowed to them while crying. Yan Shengrui waved his hands indifferently, hugged Ling Jingxuan and walked to the oldest child: "How many relatives do you have? What's their name?"
He noticed just now that Ling Jingxuan's eyes fell on this child, obviously he had his eyes on him.
"Master Long, the youngest is a mother, Long Zhang, who is 27 years old this year. She can weave and embroider. She can do basic crop work. My name is Long Dashan, and I am nine years old."
With the example of the Zhou family, the thin-looking boy seemed to see hope, and he knelt upright in front of his mother who was wiping her tears. The nine-year-old child was already considered an adult, and Long Dashan was also very mature and sensible. Ling Jingxuan After looking at him carefully for a moment, he turned his head and said, "Brother Han, what do you think about this kid being Tie Wazi's book boy and servant?"
Compared with Ling Wen and Ling Wu, Tie Wazi is softer and more introverted. First of all, his book boy must be older than him, and he must know how to take care of his daily life. It is his age that he likes Long Dashan. As for his Mature and sensible, to put it bluntly, how many children from poor families are still not sensible at the age of nine?
"This, will it be too big?"
Han Fei, who was named, went over to look at Long Dashan, frowned and said hesitantly, he had never bought anyone, and he only thought about what Ling Jingxuan said at the beginning, it is best for the book boy to be about the same age as the child, and the Tiewazi New Year's Day Li is only five years old, but this child is already nine years old. Subconsciously, he feels that it is not suitable.
"Hehe...it's not much older. Tie Wazi is timid and shy and introverted. His schoolboy can only take care of him when he's older, right?"
"Right."
Let him talk, Han Fei couldn't help nodding again, Ling Jingxuan smiled and said: "If you have no objection, just buy them."
"Success, I am assured of the person you choose, but—"
Han Fei looked at Long Dashan's mother in embarrassment. It wasn't that he was reluctant to buy someone more, but the two of them were old men. Didn't they buy a woman to make people gossip?
