Chapter 25 Buying Someone 2
Zhou Lin also felt it now.
Although the servants of the general's mansion were all sold, under normal circumstances no one would sell them together. People were more taboo about the officials and servants whose property was confiscated, so they were usually sold separately.
Zhou Lin looked at the people coming out, some of whom were old, weak and sick.
Even young and middle-aged people look "scary", yes, scary.
Although it is impolite to talk about other people's appearance, these people are real.
Zhou Lin looked at the brothel owner, whose forehead was slightly sweaty.
He didn't know what was going on now. He only knew that this was the person assigned to him by the pawnbroker, and the pawnbroker would not do such an outrageous thing.
I don't even know where to begin.
Although Qian Duoduo noticed something was wrong, he didn't think too much about it.
After all, she is just an ordinary citizen now. I guess the broker saw this and wanted to sell off these difficult-to-handle people together.
Really, in this age where power represents everything, having money alone is not enough without power.
Qian Duoduo saw the courier sweating and hesitating. Although he didn't intend to investigate further, he still needed to find out what was going on.
"What's wrong? You didn't just find these people to make up the numbers, did you?" Qian Duoduo said with a smile.
"I dare not, I dare not. I still have to do my business, and I dare not fool you, young master."
As the dentist spoke, he wiped the slight sweat stain on his forehead with his sleeve.
He still knew the general situation of the remaining people in the General's Mansion, so he picked the people Qian Duoduo had chosen before and talked to them.
“I dare not hide it from Mr. Qian, most of the people here today are servants from the former general’s mansion.
The woman today was originally a cook in the mansion, and she also had a son, a daughter-in-law, and a little grandson. Originally, the whole family was sold together, but many people were only willing to buy the son and daughter-in-law. There was no other way, and they could not stay in the pawnshop forever, so they were sold separately. Now only the grandmother and grandson are left.
Although the old woman is a little older, she is still very capable at work. But she requires that she take care of her grandson. That’s why she is left alone.”
The brothel owner wiped his sweat again. Qian Duoduo didn't say anything, but raised his chin slightly, meaning to continue talking.
Xiaoqi had already quickly brought a stool and asked Qian Duoduo to sit on it.
"This lame man used to be a guard in the mansion. He was mainly responsible for the warehouse management and preventing thieves. He has no children. But, he has a brother without legs. So, if you want to buy him, the brother should be included."
The broker didn't even dare to look at Qian Duoduo's expression and continued speaking.
“The man who said he could do the accounting was once the accountant and the third steward of the mansion.
But I have been suffering from a cold and have not recovered yet. "
The afternoon sun is like a small furnace, baking the earth slightly hot. Even the air is hot, and people sweat all over when they move.
The toothman swallowed unconsciously.
Qian Duoduo raised his eyebrows unconsciously when he heard him mention the accountant. He had something in mind.
Qian Duoduo still remained speechless.
"The first one standing in the front row was once a second-class maidservant beside the second young lady in the mansion. She is very smart and clever. She can do needlework, comb hair, and take care of the daily life of the masters. For example, serving tea, making beds, burning incense to deodorize, fetching water and scrubbing, etc."
The guarantor approached Qian Duoduo a little bit, Qian Duoduo gave him a look and took a half step back, so the guarantor whispered,
"This girl is quite pretty and was bought by a wealthy family before. But because she had some trouble with the young master of the family, she was sold again.
But this girl is so arrogant..."
Qian Duoduo raised his hand to signal the next one.
Qian Duoduo had noticed this girl a long time ago. She was not a good person at first glance. She also had a silly brother at home, so she couldn't let anyone cheat her.
The dental practitioner then introduced...
There were young maids, a woman around fifty years old, a young servant, and a few older men.
The general's mansion originally had hundreds of servants, who were distributed to various regions and brokerages. These people were either the leftovers of others, or they were a little bit stingy and wanted to find a rich family.
Some prestigious officials in the capital were unwilling to buy these servants, as they thought they were unlucky. But some middle-class families liked this kind of servants, after all, servants who knew a lot and had seen a lot were rare.
In short, there are all kinds.
The dental practitioner has been observing Qian Duoduo's reaction.
Although he didn't show any disdain, he remained expressionless and unpredictable.
During this period, three people who were good at accounting came back. Qian Duoduo looked at the account books they copied for today and the accounts they calculated.
The accounts of the three were all correct, and the handwriting of two of them was neat and clean. One of them did not write it completely according to the original account book, but used his own more convenient accounting method, which made the account clearer.
Qian Duoduo was very satisfied. She took the account book she liked more and asked, "Who calculated this?"
One of them, wearing a dark blue gown and with a dull expression, stood up.
"To reply to your question, sir, I wrote this."
He kept bending over while speaking, so Qian Duoduo couldn't see his appearance clearly.
"Yes, yes. I have the talent of a bookkeeper."
Qian Duoduo was overjoyed. Did he find a treasure?
But he asked casually, "Are you also from the former general's mansion?"
"To answer your question, sir, I am not guilty. My family is poor, so I am willing to sell myself to support my family."
Qian Duoduo opened his mouth and said, "You stand on the other side."
The man bent down a little lower, said nothing, and stood to the other side.
Qian Duoduo then picked up another neatly-made account and said, "Whoever wrote this, stand with him." Then he walked over to the broker without even looking at them.
One of them bowed slightly and stood on the other side, while the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief.
Qian Duoduo didn't waste any words and directly pointed to the woman from before, the lame middle-aged man, a man with scars on his face but who knew kung fu, and a fat black girl on the other side.
The broker was overjoyed and quickly counted the money. The total cost for these people was 21 taels and 200 coins.
Qian Duoduo bargained the price down to twenty taels.
Although one or two taels of silver is nothing to Qian Duoduo, for the broker, it is equivalent to losing one and a half people for nothing.
Although the broker was reluctant to sell, he thought that almost all the old, weak, sick and disabled people had been sold, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. He handed over the money and received the deed.
The busy day is finally coming to an end.
Qian Duoduo was a little troubled by the old, weak and disabled people in this room. Was he too impulsive? He always felt that he was being schemed against.
Forget it, we will just fight back when the enemy comes and block when the water comes.
At this time, the person who "plotted" against her was listening to the report about her.
