Chapter 245

As soon as the toothmaid said that, someone below stepped forward to introduce where he came from and what he would do.

Some of these slaves in the tooth shop were unable to live on at home, in order to help their families, they sold themselves to give their families money to survive, some were sold by their family members, and some were servants of criminal officials who were paid by their families. The government uniformly sold it to dental firms.

Lu Jiao looked at the servants who introduced her first, and felt a little embarrassed. Essentially, she didn't want to buy servants from the prisoner's mansion. There might be something behind these people, but the family of criminals The advantage of slaves is that they are capable people.

Those who sell themselves or are sold by their family members are basically people from poor families. Although they are innocent, they have no ability, and they don't even have basic etiquette. They speak rudely and act exaggeratedly. Someone introduced themselves He was giggling and laughing, like a country rascal.

Lu Jiao got a headache from watching, and looked down, at this moment, a pretty girl was introducing herself. Before she could speak, the girl had tears in her eyes, and she talked about her experience pitifully.

"The slave was sold by his parents. The parents sold the slave in order to marry his brother. You are a kind person, son. You should buy the slave."

The girl looked at Xie Yunjin with tears in her eyes after she finished speaking.

Xie Yunjin's face turned ugly for a moment, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Jiao who was on the side, Lu Jiao looked at him playfully, this girl had taken a fancy to Xie Xiucai.

Seeing Lu Jiao's expression, Xie Yunjin immediately sat up straight subconsciously, turned around and reprimanded the girl who spoke next: "I told you to talk about your ability, not to make you cry, my family is buying people, not showing kindness."

He didn't give the crying girl room to speak, and immediately waved his hand: "Go down, next one."

The weak and weeping woman was stunned, and looked at Xie Yunjin in disbelief.

Xie Yunjin was expressionless as if she didn't notice it, but Lu Jiao on one side was a little funny when she saw the expression on the girl next to her.

This girl has to endure a few setbacks before she realizes that there are not so many people who are sympathetic and sympathetic to women in this world.

Next, someone came out again, this time it was a mother-in-law in her forties. Although the mother-in-law was getting old, she was well-groomed, her behavior was well-regulated, her words and deeds were not ordinary people.

Lu Jiao couldn't help taking a few more glances: "My surname is Qiu, and people call her Granny Qiu. I used to be the wife in charge of the sixth-rank prisoner's mansion. Because the adults in the house committed crimes, I was confiscated into the army. The slaves were also sold. I used to be an inner sect. The lady in charge is good at needlework."

After Granny Qiu finished speaking, Lu Jiao couldn't help squinting her eyes to stare at her. This Granny Qiu seems to be a capable person. She should be easy to sell like this. Why did she stay until now.

There is a basis for Lu Jiao's guess, because Qinghe County is actually a poor county, and it is impossible to have a sixth-rank official, so this Granny Qiu should have been tossed all the way from other big places, and she should be sold in big places like her It's just dropped.

Not to mention that Lu Jiao was suspicious, the matchmaker next to her was surprised. She knew this Mrs. Qiu, and usually she seldom spoke, and she kept silent all the time. There was only one request, no matter who sold her to, that family must sell her. The old man also accepted.

Granny Qiu's man's name is Old Man Wen, and Old Man Wen used to be the housekeeper of a criminal official's family just like Granny Qiu.

This old man is loyal. When the government arrested people, his leg was broken by the officers and soldiers who arrested him. Later, because he didn't get medical treatment in time, one of his legs became lame.

Who wants a lame old man, that's why Granny Qiu couldn't sell it.

Yapo actually wanted to sell Granny Qiu alone, but Granny Qiu was ruthless. If she dared to sell her alone, she would die at the buyer's house, leaving the shop with no money, and the buyer would sue her for compensation. There is no way but her.

How many homes have been sold, but they haven't been sold, but it's also related to Granny Qiu's inaction. She didn't expect that she would come out and introduce herself this time. It's because the handsome men and women in this family want to stay. .

The matchmaker turned her head to look at Lu Jiao and said with a smile, "Grandma Qiu is capable. Not only can she manage affairs, but she is also good at needlework. She can help the lady manage the servants at home."

Lu Jiao was a little moved when she heard the matchmaker's words, she looked at the matchmaker and said, "It stands to reason that someone like Granny Qiu should have been caught by someone else, so why keep it?"

As soon as Lu Jiao said, the matchmaker had a bitter face, she came, she came, and the critical moment came again.

The prostitute said helplessly: "Grandma Qiu is not wanted because she has a request."

Next, Granny Qiu hesitated for a moment, but she still puffed her chest out and stepped forward, "I want to be with my man."

She finished speaking and looked at old man Wen behind her.

Lu Jiao looked at the old man Wen who was behind him. He was obviously much older than Granny Qiu, and she didn't know if it was because of being tortured for a long time.

Lu Jiao looked at him and motioned him to take a step forward to answer.

As soon as Old Man Wen moved, Lu Jiao finally understood why Granny Qiu couldn't sell it, because Old Man Wen was not only thin and old, but also had a lame leg. Who would want such an old and lame old man? , is of no use at all.

Lu Jiao didn't immediately decide whether she wanted Granny Qiu and old man Wen, and waved them back.

Others introduced herself again. Although Lu Jiao is very skilled in medicine, she really doesn't have that much confidence in employing people. She thought to herself that she had taken a fancy to the two families, and they were all servants of criminals. She was a little worried, and couldn't help it. Turn around and ask Xie Yunjin in a low voice.

"Xie Yunjin, I want to buy Granny Qiu and old man Wen. Granny Qiu can help me manage things, do needlework, old man Wen looks after the door, and buy the Lin family."

There are four people in the Lin family. The man used to be the groom of the prisoner's family, and the woman was the cook in the kitchen. Lu Jiao was looking for these two people, so she was tempted.

As for the two boys from the Lin family, the eldest is fifteen years old and can be Xie Yunjin's servant, helping him with errands and getting things.

The youngest eight-year-old helps take care of the four little ones.

It's just that Lu Jiao couldn't decide if she chose the right way, so she couldn't help but ask Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin listened to Lu Jiao's question, and couldn't control the bubbles of joy in his heart, and a faint smile involuntarily formed the corner of his mouth.

He approached Lu Jiao and praised: "You are very powerful, you can use both of these families."

Lu Jiao was worried: "But after they are all prisoners, will there be any involvement behind it?"

Xie Yunjin agreed softly: "I think these two families have clear eyes, not like hypocritical villains, and they can be used."
