"Okay, let's take this as County Captain Chen."
Fang Xiaoyue thought at this time that County Lieutenant Chen was an official in charge of public security and military affairs in Xuebei County, so he should have some martial arts skills. In this case, the chances of him hiding rare medicinal materials would increase a lot.
As beggars, they must have an understanding of the situation of the county lieutenant who is responsible for public security. Otherwise, it would be tragic if someone accidentally did something bad and ended up in the county lieutenant's home.
Lieutenant Chen lives in the west of the city, where security is the worst.
This is not surprising. It is said that this is what he vowed to do when he took office to keep the county households from closing their doors.
But when Fang Xiaoyue followed the three beggars to the front of the county captain's house, she saw, my dear, this county captain's house is built with high eaves. Just by looking at the door covered with copper nails, you can tell that this family is rich!
If not rich, who would be willing to stick a copper nail with the same value as a copper coin on the door?
There were two county soldiers wearing leather armor guarding the gate of the county captain's house. When they saw a few beggars coming from a distance, they grabbed the long knife at their waist and shouted viciously: "No idlers can come near, otherwise Kill without mercy!"
Well, the residence of the county captain no longer has the authority of a ninth-grade official, but at least it has the authority of a third-grade official.
Otherwise, how dare the county soldiers yell like this?
From this we can see how domineering and domineering Chen County Lieutenant was in the local area.
Naturally, the beggars did not dare to use their necks to test the speed of the opponent's knife, so they hurriedly pulled Fang Xiaoyue, and they immediately turned into an alley.
The timid beggar introduced with lingering fear: "The county soldiers really dared to behead people. Last time, a hat vendor accidentally bumped into the county captain's sedan and was beheaded directly... ....That blood is flowing, tsk tsk.”
Naturally, several people entered the alley not just to avoid the county soldiers, but to facilitate business.
Even if the county captain wants to buy someone, he won't do it at the main entrance.
Therefore, this alley leads to the small back door of the county captain's mansion.
The small back door is really small, only one person can enter or exit.
Even when they arrived at the small back door of the county captain's house, the two beggars were trembling with fear and did not dare to knock on the door.
As for the timid beggar, he huddled behind Fang Xiaoyue, as if some beast would pounce out as soon as the door was opened.
In desperation, Fang Xiaoyue could only step forward and knock on the door.
Bang bang bang.......
After several consecutive calls, the door opened, and a somewhat unkempt old man poked his head out. The smell of alcohol hit his face when he opened his mouth: "What are you doing? Didn't you know this is the county captain's house? Tell me if you have anything to say. , don’t delay my drinking!”
"I wonder if the master still has people in his house?"
At this time, Fang Xiaoyue didn't care about the surprise that a child would bring when he came forward to talk.
"I don't know. I'm just a gardener. Who wants to sell themselves? I'll ask Butler Xiao."
The old gardener was a little drunk. After muttering to himself, he turned and left. He didn't remember to close the door, leaving the small back door open.
Of course, even if the door was open, the three beggars did not dare to act rashly.
If it were any other place, they would probably get in there and see if they could steal something.
But this is the county captain's mansion!
Give them ten daring hearts and leopards, and they won't even dare to take a step inside.
No way, for beggars like them, the first way to save their lives is not to provoke strong men they can't afford!
And Lieutenant Chen County should be the strongest strongman in the entire Xuebei County.
The gardener seemed to have a small status in the house, so not long after, a middle-aged housekeeper with a beard came over.
According to the gardener, this is Butler Huang.
When Fang Xiaoyue mentioned the matter of selling herself, Butler Huang was a little surprised.
He has been buying people for the house for some time, but he has never seen such a young child selling his own. Looking at the three guys behind him, they are either beggars or refugees. They are completely different from this fair-faced and tender child. Probably a family.
But he wouldn't do anything good. A kid like this would definitely be worth more than the previous servants when he bought the house.
No way, these days, the fight for wealth among rich people is no longer just based on the silks, gold and silver jewelry they wear, but also the words, conversation, and appearance of the servants around them.
For example, when entertaining guests, if this child is assigned to serve tea and water, the effect will definitely be much better than that of a tall and thick servant.
In short, Butler Huang has decided to buy the child, but due to professional habits, he fiercely bargained for the price, pretending that the other party was not an officially authorized person, and reduced the initial price of forty taels to twenty taels.
It's not that he doesn't want to continue killing, but if it's less than twenty taels, the kid won't want to.
After the deed of sale was signed, twenty taels of silver were thrown to the three beggars, and as soon as the back door was closed, Butler Huang led Fang Xiaoyue directly to the bathhouse exclusively for servants.
I have to say that Chen County Wei's family is indeed rich.
Many families in the county are reluctant to take a dip in public bathhouses outside. The servants of the county captain's family have bathhouses to enjoy, which shows how luxurious they are.
You must know that the folk in this cultivation plane are only similar to the ancient times thousands of years ago in the original world.
To put it simply, the development of the cultivation system has not brought any benefits to ordinary people in this plane.
Coupled with the cultivation system's thirst for high-end resources, it is impossible for most cultivation versions of daily necessities to be popularized by ordinary people.
Of course, Butler Huang taking Fang Xiaoyue to take a bath is not a welfare, but he is worried that the foreign children will bring in some diseases and parasites.
If any trouble occurs, he, the butler, will have to bear the responsibility.
After taking a shower, I put on a gray servant outfit that was very large for my body.
This servant's uniform doesn't look very good, but it is made of two layers of cotton, with a thick layer of duck down inside.
Don’t think that products like down jackets can only appear in modern civilized society.
The cold resistance of eiderdown duck feathers is actually easy to spot and exploit.
Of course, rich people don't bother to wear this kind of clothes. They always have mink and fox fur coats to wear them.
However, even so, products like this are not something ordinary families can enjoy. Only top wealthy families like Chen Xianwei can wear this for their servants, lest they get sick and increase the risk of the masters getting sick. .
As a new servant, Fang Xiaoyue was quickly thrown into the kitchen by Butler Huang to help cook.
This is not surprising. Fang Xiaoyue looks too young. At six or seven years old, it is impossible for him to do heavy work. He can only help pick vegetables in the kitchen and so on, so he works hard.
In addition, just follow the rules and learn more, so as not to bump into the master in vain.
After staying in the Chen Mansion for a while, Fang Xiaoyue understood a lot more about the situation in the Chen Mansion.
