I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Jia She placed Jia Cheng on a chair covered with a silk cushion under a large umbrella.

Then he asked the servant to bring an ice basin to Jia Cheng's side, and also politely handed Jia Cheng a bowl of fruit ice.

Jia She's smooth movements stunned the matchmakers. The eldest master of the Jia family really dotes on his son.

However, Jia Cheng's appearance was so cold and elegant that people dared not look at him for too long, as if looking at him any longer would be a blasphemy to him. If they had a son like this, they would also spoil him like this.

Then those matchmakers shook their heads in their hearts. How could such despicable people as them give birth to a figure like the young master of Rongguo Mansion who was like a banished immortal?

Jia Cheng did not look much at the fawning human traffickers, but instead turned his gaze to the people being sold who had different expressions on their faces.

He did not deliberately select honest and obedient servants. He believed that with his ability and the support of the system, he was not afraid of the servants outside being disloyal.

He needs a servant with a quick mind and a clever brain to follow him and serve him.

He also needs minions with bad tempers and outspokenness to act as his vanguard, to say what he cannot say and to do what he cannot do.

If Jia Cheng wants to maintain his image as a god, there are some things he cannot do himself, so it is necessary for him to keep a few evil slaves.

The system does not understand Jia Cheng’s thoughts, but hopes that Jia Cheng will buy more props from him.

As a favorite concubine system, there is no shortage of loyalty talismans and various elixirs for winning confidants, and they are all inexpensive and of good quality.

The system tried hard to sell to Jia Cheng, hoping that he would buy more props that would make the servants loyal, or buy a more advanced master-servant contract.

Jia Cheng did not disappoint the system's enthusiasm. He selected the servants he liked while choosing available props in the system mall.

If he could just use props to make these purchased servants loyal, why would he go to so much trouble to win them over? These people are not as valuable as Jia She and are not worth his trouble.

After he used elixirs or loyalty talismans on these slaves, they became his property and no longer had their own luck.

Jia Cheng didn't care.

The moment these slaves were sold to him, they no longer had the chance to change their fate and turn their lives around. Even if they had a fortuitous encounter, they would not have good luck.

It’s a pity that the loyalty talisman and loyalty pill have restrictions on the identity of the people, otherwise Jia Cheng would drug everyone he disliked.

Jia Cheng sighed with some regret, complaining that the system had too many restrictions.

The system wiped away the non-existent cold sweat and thought that if there were no restrictions, Jia Cheng, the devil star, could turn the world upside down.

Jia Cheng's sigh made everyone hold their breath. No one dared to breathe, for fear that this immortal young master would get angry.

Jia She squatted down, with a gentle smile on his face, and asked softly: "Brother Cheng, are you dissatisfied with these people? Then let's change another batch?"

After Jia She finished speaking gently to Jia Cheng, he turned to face the matchmakers and his expression immediately became gloomy. He also looked at those useless servants with a frosty face.

His sudden change of attitude frightened the matchmakers and prostitutes, but the servants and maids in the main house were used to it.

Jia She has completely different faces when facing Jia Cheng and others. He is as nice as he can be to Jia Cheng, but as perfunctory and strict as he can be to others.

The servants in the first house have become accustomed to his double standards.

But these outsiders didn't know that a brave matchmaker apologized to Jia She with great fear and trepidation, "General Jia, Master Jia, these are the best batch of goods I have, and I trained them all.

They have a clean background, are good-looking, work efficiently, and are obedient.

There are honest people, smart people, and dexterous people here. We have everything you want.

If the young master is not satisfied, I will buy some more slaves, train them and send them to you. Please don't be angry."

The brave ones can still defend themselves, but the timid ones are already kneeling on the ground trembling.

These matchmakers usually beat or scolded those who signed the indenture, like bullies. But now, facing Jia She, they were like mice seeing a cat, fearing that they would offend the master of Rongguo Mansion.

Although in the eyes of those princes, nobles and ministers, the Rongguo Mansion had already declined and was nothing to be feared.

But in the hearts of these common people, Rongguo Mansion is still a huge mountain, firmly pressing down on them.

This was once the Duke's Mansion. Even if it had become a first-class general's mansion, it was still out of the reach of the lowly people like them who traded in human beings.

When the children who were sold saw that the usually vicious matchmaker was so afraid of Jia She, they became even more frightened.

They lowered their heads and huddled together, shivering like a group of chicks huddling together for warmth.

As Jia Cheng watched, he suddenly laughed. As he laughed, Jia She's face melted like ice and smiled like a flower.

"Oh, Cheng'er, did you choose someone? You look so happy?" Jia She looked at the group of servants huddled together, wondering which one of them made Cheng'er happy. If this servant could make his son happy, then this servant must be very lucky.

Jia Cheng did not say which one he had chosen, but pointed at a few ugly ones and said, "Except for these ugly ones, keep the others."

Jia Cheng really didn't want to keep ugly servants around him. He was a god who came down to earth, so the people around him had to be beautiful.

Seeing that Jia Cheng had made his choice, Jia She signaled the head maid Qiu Ju to make the deal with the matchmakers, handing over the money in one hand and the person in the other.

He had no objection, but instead felt that Jia Cheng had not selected enough people.

As the legitimate second son of a first-rank general in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Cheng should not have only a few maids serving him, but should be like Jia Baoyu.

There were at least four first-class maids, four second-class maids, and countless third-class maids and servants serving him.

There cannot be just one or two servants around you, there must be at least seven or eight.

Jia Cheng used to dislike too many people following him, after all, it delayed his communication with the system. Now that he has a lot of props, he is not afraid of too many servants.

Young masters of wealthy families must be presentable, so they must have many people around them, as this is a symbol of status.

Having a few more servants around Jia Cheng is not a burden. Instead, they can serve him better. Jia She is reluctant to let Jia Cheng suffer any hardship.

He had already thought it through. He would first get eight servants to follow Jia Cheng, each with different responsibilities.

Some helped him study, some managed the household affairs, some played with him, and some protected him.

Eight isn't really a lot.

Jia She patiently explained to Jia Cheng the benefits of buying more people, and Jia Cheng thought it made sense.

Since he has come to the world of "Dream of Red Mansions", he should enjoy the treatment of a young master.

Even though he is the president of a pharmaceutical company in modern times, he cannot openly engage in slavery.

But in ancient times, he was a young man from a wealthy family, so naturally he should enjoy the treatment he deserved.

In a place like this, he doesn't believe in equality for all. When you come to this world, you should abide by the rules of this world.

Anyway, he is a vested interest, so there is no need for him to be hypocritical and be on friendly terms with the slaves.

Everyone has his own destiny. Those servants are his slaves, and their Jia family are also slaves of the royal family.

In any case, in feudal society, no one can escape the word "slave" except the emperor.

Jia She bought some people for Jia Cheng, and couldn't wait to say in front of everyone: "It's your good fortune that you can stay in Rongguo Mansion and serve Cheng'er as slaves.

Our family is not the kind of family that mistreats servants. You will be treated unfairly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation when you follow Brother Cheng.

You get a share of the monthly salary from the public, and if you serve well, I will give you another share. As long as you take good care of your master, you will have your benefits.

But if you have any ulterior motives and do harm to the master, don't blame me for being merciless. Once I find out, I will kill you all."

Jia She started to establish authority for his beloved son before the transaction was completed.

Some of the children were not very old, only about five or six years old. They had been trying hard not to cry just now, but when they heard Jia She's threatening words, they couldn't help but bite their lips and cried.

Some children lowered their heads in fear and trembled all the time. Their pitiful appearance was very heartbreaking.

Jia Cheng's eyes were full of indifference, and there was no warmth in his gaze as he looked at the servants.

He was assimilated into this world very quickly and had adapted to this world of clear class divisions and the survival of the fittest. Perhaps he simply liked this kind of life.

He did not have any unnecessary sympathy and felt pity for the children who were sold.

Their misery is not caused by themselves, but by their parents and this cannibalistic society.

Jia Cheng has always been hypocritical. If he is sold, he will try every means to escape and then counterattack. Whoever dares to buy him must be prepared to be stepped on by him.

He refuses to accept his fate.

But now he is the one who buys people, and he hopes that these slaves will accept their fate and serve him well.

At least the people in Rongguo Mansion can have enough food and warm clothing.

Jia She was a little impatient when he saw the scared looks on the children's faces, but he didn't make things difficult for them, "You guys were chosen by Cheng Ge'er, as long as you don't make big mistakes and don't betray your master, I won't kill you easily.

You must remember that being able to enter the Rongguo Mansion and serve your master is a blessing for your ancestors.

You must cherish this opportunity and serve Brother Cheng wholeheartedly. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do not do well, you will be punished. You must know this in your heart."

Wang Yapo, who was collecting the money, was smiling happily as she held the silver. When she heard Jia She's words, she immediately stepped forward and started to flatter him.

"Master, you are absolutely right. These servants are able to enter the Rongguo Mansion to serve our god-like young master. They must have accumulated good deeds in their previous lives."

Jia She was pleased to hear this, so he asked Qiu Ju to reward Wang Yapo with another silver peanut.

Grandma Wang Ya was holding the silver peanuts and smiling so hard that her teeth were showing. She must have made a fortune.

This time she brought five people and sold three of them. Now she got a reward, which was a real profit.

She was originally very happy, but when she saw that Li Yapo next to her sold four people and got more money than her, her good mood immediately dissipated a little.

Thinking of this, Grandma Wang glared at the remaining two children with disappointment.

These two children are a little older, both 9 years old, and are already half adults.

These two children, a boy and a girl, are usually efficient and smart in their work and speaking. It is because of their outstanding performance that they were brought here.

As a result, these two useless guys changed their faces when they arrived at the Rongguo Mansion. They behaved timidly and looked unpresentable in front of Jia Cheng and Jia She.

Grandma Wang thought she was a kind-hearted human trafficker. She bought these people from their parents and did not mistreat them. Instead, she taught them the rules, hoping that they would have a better life after being sold to their owners.

Unexpectedly, these two guys would play tricks in front of the buyer. They were so scared that their mouths were crooked, their eyes were slanted, and their faces were hideous. Now that the selection is over, they are normal again.

Jia Cheng also noticed a few children who were hiding their incompetence and some who were scheming and didn't want to be chosen, and he helped them get what they wanted.

These people don't want to work in Rongguo Mansion, so they must have better places to go. In that case, he won't block their path to success.

He is not the kind of protagonist in a novel who would buy back an injured servant or a skinny servant who is unable to work.

He refused to buy the healthy and clever servants, but instead bought the ones that were not presentable, thinking that this would show the protagonist's kindness.

Jia Cheng just wanted to say it was stupid. Why didn't I buy better products when I spent the money? Don't talk about human rights. What the hell is the human rights in this cannibalistic feudal society?

These slaves who signed the death contract were like human objects, whose life and death were in the hands of their masters.

Of course the owner would buy good things when he spends money on them. Why would he spend money on defective products?

Jia Cheng doesn't want to find a servant in the trash can, he deserves the best.

How can we expect a servant, whose life and death are controlled by others, to take good care of his master if he can't protect himself or take care of himself among other servants?

Jia Cheng didn't want to spend money to buy a servant who would eat and live with him and be treated like a deputy young master. He also didn't like servants who were disrespectful.

The system couldn't quite understand Jia Cheng. In modern times, Jia Cheng seemed honest, reliable, compassionate, and he often spent money on charity.

But in ancient times, he was like a different person.

He is cruel and greedy, wanting to get all the best things in the world. He adapts well to this feudal society, as if he belongs here by nature.

Jia Cheng's behavior often makes the system forget that this person's soul comes from a new society where everyone is equal. Jia Cheng's unconventional behavior makes the system unable to deal with it.

Jia Cheng is not a different person, it's just his nature.

In a harmonious society, he has to be a good person in order to gain a foothold in society.

In feudal society, he could only integrate into the society by playing the role of an exploiting young master.

The deal was done, and the matchmakers left with the losers.

Granny Wang was so angry when she saw the remaining two people that she thought she would sell them to that dirty place when she got back.

Since they don't want to come to Rongguo Mansion to serve, then they can become prostitutes or mistresses from now on.

In ancient times, human life was worthless, and a word from a person of high status could determine the life or death of a poor family.

Jia Cheng has no extra kindness and he is more adapted to this society than the ancients.
