The Royal’s Little Lady Chapter 186: Buying people
After another day of shopping in the city, I bought several cartloads of things. Before I left, I only thought of buying people.
She was not sure about her decision, so she discussed it with Fang Chu Fenfen, "...the jam shop will get bigger and bigger in the future, and I don't have anyone reliable. Jing Bu suggested that I buy a few people, and take the deed of sale to them." I can feel more at ease in my hand, what do you think?"
Actually, when she asked, she knew that she agreed with it in her heart.
Although she is a modern person, she still has to do as the Romans do, and there is really no one around her.
Ms. Fang muttered, "This is buying people," she looked at the guys with a blank look on her face, "We all have no experience, how about you ask Master Wan Er?"
In the city, they were familiar with Master Wan Er.
Just when Chu Yingying was about to object, she saw Chu Fenfen opened her mouth. Although she didn't say anything, Chu Yingying was sure that she must have something in mind.
He then encouraged, "Sister, if you have any ideas, just say so."
With the support of her sister, Chu Fenfen spoke out her thoughts.
"Auntie, I don't think it's appropriate. Originally, Yingying was worried that after establishing a jam shop in the city, it would be cannibalized by Master Wan Er's people. If she still goes to Master Wan Er to buy people, then what if Master Wan Er takes action? What should we do if he mixes his own people with others and sells them to us?"
"Well, I see that Mr. Wan Er has been treating us very well."
This time, after learning that they had come to the city, they specially sent a few boxes of things for them to take back and share with their neighbors, which was very considerate.
The tiger-headed Chu Xiaotian suddenly said, "Sir, I taught you that you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others!"
"Yes, that's really smart. Our little tiger is so good at what he said."
Chu Yingying rubbed her little head and said to Fang, "Auntie, we have to be careful."
"What should I do?"
"Let's go directly to Ren Yazi."
Just do it, Chu Yingying immediately went out to find someone else. Since this was a big deal, the whole family was mobilized.
Actually, Ren Yazi is easy to find. Just open your mouth twice and ask around a few times to find him.
The place where Ren Yazi is is a quite large courtyard. It is not a traditional courtyard with several entrances and exits, but a unified large courtyard divided into small rooms.
This is very convenient to manage.
As soon as Chu Yingying and her party entered the door, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks immediately came up to greet him, "Madam, who do you want to buy? Is it a man or a woman? Do you want someone who is older and knows better, or someone who is older and more knowledgeable?" Are they smaller and easier to train? Should they be those who know how to farm, or are they good at cooking? Should they be a family or should they be bought separately? Should they be..."
Everyone was confused.
I didn’t expect that buying a person requires so much attention.
On the other hand, Chu Yingying was simply unhappy. This practice of dividing people into various categories and selling them at a price really... made her very uncomfortable.
But she can't change it. The only thing she can do is to treat them well after buying them back.
If they have no problem and work hard, return the deed of betrayal to them.
"We want to be down-to-earth and willing to work. It is best to be a family. It doesn't matter whether there are old people or children, but we must be honest!"
Don’t even think about being smart and capable.
If someone were so smart and capable, would they treat themselves like chickens, ducks, and pigs?
So, being honest and hardworking is the most important thing.
No, she can teach you slowly, but if there is a problem with your character, it will be a serious problem!
"Is it okay to have old people and children?" The toothy man grinned, "Speaking of which, there are indeed some. They are really capable and honest people, but one thing is that they don't sell themselves."
"If you don't sell yourself?" Fang asked him strangely, "If you don't sell yourself, how come you are here?"
Yaren did not answer, just smiled and repeated, "That family is very determined not to sell themselves. How about Madam, Madam, take a look first? That person really has nothing to say."
"OK."
Chu Yingying thought for a moment and then agreed.
Look at the person first before saying anything else.
After a while, Yaren came with a family of five people!
However, there were not many people who could work. There was an old lady who was so trembling that she could hardly stand, leaning on her son's back. The old lady kept her eyes closed, not knowing what was going on.
The couple looked quite decent, but they looked a little old, with deep wrinkles on their faces. However, there was no resentment in their eyes, only unwillingness.
Neither of this couple is bloated. Although they look a little thin, they have strong thighs and thick arms. They look like they have worked all year round.
Chu Yingying asked them to stretch out their hands and look at them. They were all covered with calluses.
There are two other children who should be theirs. One is a son. He looks about 16 or 17 years old. He is horribly thin, but his eyes are astonishingly bright.
There are also calluses on the hands, but not on the palms, but on the index fingers!
Chu Yingying asked in surprise, "Do you know the characters?"
Such calluses cannot be left by work, they are clearly left by practicing calligraphy with a pen all year round.
"I know, I have been studying for several years."
"Since I know how to read, I should be able to make money."
Chu Yingying asked a little strangely.
These days, it is too easy for scholars to make money. They can just write letters for others.
"I dress so poorly, how can others believe that I can write? Besides, writing letters for others also requires pens, inks, paper and inkstones, all of which require money... It's not that I haven't tried it along the way, it's just that I haven't People just believe it."
He has always felt that those who are literate are more successful than those who are illiterate! But during this escape, he found that he was not as useful as his sister, who had been working hard since childhood!

After Chu Yingying finished reading, she asked, "Why don't you want to sell yourself?"
"If he is sold into slavery, then my son will never be able to take the scientific examination again!"
The person speaking was a middle-aged man, who must be the head of the family.
"Although I don't know a word of Chinese characters, I still know that only by studying can one be successful, so even at this point, I don't want to ruin the possibility of my son's scientific examination!"
Then, the light in the old man's eyes dimmed again. "However, I can only hold on for a few more days. If it doesn't work, I have no choice but to sell myself. Otherwise, I, the old mother, may not be able to survive..." ”
The old lady kept squinting her eyes, looking confused and lackluster.
Chu Yingying raised her eyebrows, "You said you escaped all the way, so why are you still taking your old mother with you? Don't you know that bringing an old mother with limited mobility is a big burden? Maybe in the end, not only she will not survive If I go down, will it hurt you all?"
This was a very pointed question. Four pairs of eyes among the five members of the family stared at her angrily.
