When Su Lao Er went to the Yu family's small courtyard, the Yu family's courtyard door was closed as always.
"Brother Zheng."
Su Laoer shouted, and the courtyard door opened after a short while.
"Uncle Su, why are you here?"
"Something happened. Is your master here?"
"My master is in the study. Uncle Su, please sit down for a while."
Qinglin took the person under the grape trellis and called his master. Yu Zheng came after a while.
"Uncle Su, why are you here? Is there any work you want me to do?"
"There is not much work at home these two days. Tomorrow Yu'er and I are going to Fucheng. One day is enough for one trip and one trip. I heard that the road is not very peaceful, so I thought of borrowing the Qinglin boy from you."
"Okay, no problem. If Uncle Su and Miss Su want to go to Fucheng, taking an ox cart is too slow. How about taking my carriage?"
Su Laoer thought it made sense.
"Sure, we'll set off early tomorrow morning, and you ask Qinglin to drive the carriage to pick us up at the gate of the courtyard."
"good."
After talking about the business, Su Laoer had no need to stay any longer. But when I was leaving, I always felt something strange, but I couldn't remember it.
At dawn the next day, Qinglin drove the carriage to the door of Su's house. The father and daughter had already prepared early.
"Uncle Su, am I late?"
"No, we have just gotten up."
The carriage is not big, and the seats are slightly wider against the rear wall. It is obvious at a glance that Yu Zheng usually lies on it to rest when he rides in the carriage.
"Dad, let me sleep a little longer."
"Go to sleep, dad will watch."
I got up too early today, and Su Yu's mind was still awake. As soon as he lay down on it, except that he couldn't straighten his legs, everything else was fine and he fell asleep quickly.
Su Laoer shook his head. His daughter was really big-hearted. Knowing that he was going to Fucheng today, he woke up in the middle of the night, but his daughter could still sleep now.
When the father and daughter arrived in Fucheng, it was just dawn. I have to say that there is no comparison between an ox-cart and a horse-drawn carriage. If they had come by ox-cart today, they would probably still be halfway there.
"Uncle Su, where are we going?"
"Did you know that at Shun'an Yaxing, we plan to buy a few people?"
Qinglin's eyelids twitched.
"I know, I know, but Uncle Su, I heard that the place is not very good."
"I know, aren't you here? Let's just go and have a look, and we're not going to cause trouble."
"All right."
Su Yu had also woken up early at this time, lying on the car window and looking outside. A small place like Xinglin Town was indeed incomparable to Fucheng. It was very lively early in the morning. Xinglin Town was only so lively during the big market. .
The carriage swayed for a while and then stopped.
"Uncle Su, we are here."
The father and daughter got off the carriage. When they looked up, they saw a plaque for Shun An Yaxing hanging at the door of the front yard.
Fucheng is different, even a tooth shop is more than half the size of Xinglin Town, but I don't know what it will be like in Kyoto.
The father and daughter could be said to have put on their most respectable clothes, but in the eyes of the gatekeeper at Shun An Nga Hang, they were just ordinary people.
"You two, please come inside."
The Ya shop was open for business, and customers came to the door. The two of them were invited in as soon as they got off the carriage, with Qinglin following behind them.
After entering, the father and daughter sat down and took a few sips of tea when someone who looked like a manager came over to greet them.
"My surname is Xu, and I am the steward here."
"Manager Xu, we came here today just wanting to buy two servants. They need to be good at boxing and kicking. We don't want ordinary goods."
Although Shun'an Dental Shop is a dental shop, it is the best dental shop in Fucheng. Ordinary people will not go to Shun'an Dental Shop, and those who come are knowledgeable.
Manager Xu looked down at the little girl in front of him, and then looked at the person standing next to her, who should be her father. Seeing that Su Laoer didn't say anything, Manager Xu replied.
"We have some here, but I'm afraid you two won't dare to ask for them."
"Do you dare to take a look first before talking?"
"You two, come with me."
Several people turned around and stopped in front of a courtyard.
"There are people inside, but I told you in advance that the silver for each person inside is two hundred taels of silver. If you think it's not worth it, don't go in."
"How much? Two hundred taels!"
Su Laoer couldn't hold it back. He really didn't expect that a servant would ask for two hundred taels.
Manager Xu said nothing and looked at Su Yu.
"If it's suitable, we can't afford two hundred taels of silver."
"The girl is really happy."
Manager Xu led the three people into the yard. There was a row of wooden piles in the open space in the yard. An iron chain was nailed to each wooden pile, and one end was connected to a person's ankle. There were a total of ten people in the yard, and there were still a lot of people to clean up. It was considered clean, but without exception, all ten people looked pale.
Su Yu looked at Manager Xu.
"Don't worry, girl, they are hungry. It will only make them miserable if they are full. But here I would like to remind you that people with a little bit of skill are arrogant and will not easily become other people's servants. We have teeth." We have put a lot of effort into buying these people, but our dental shop will not be responsible for them after they are sold."
Yesterday on the bullock cart, Su Yu had already heard Gao Jue say it, and now he was not surprised to hear what Manager Xu said.
"I understand, let's look at the person first."
There were only ten people, so Su Yu simply looked at them one by one and rejected them with murderous intent in her eyes. She bought people to protect the family, but she didn't want to buy them back to trick her.
After looking at them for a long time, Su Yu noticed two people. One of them was a woman, about twenty years old, and the other was a man, probably in his thirties. Both of them had dull eyes. It could be said that they were already Put life and death aside. But looking at their faces, one can tell that the two of them are not treacherous or evil people.
"I bought both of them."
Manager Xu’s eyes flashed.
"Two hundred taels each, totaling four hundred silver."
Steward Xu waved his hand, and a young man following him came forward with a box in his hands. Steward Xu took out several deeds of renunciation from the box, found two from inside and handed them to Su Yu.
"Girl, this is a contract of sale between two people."
Su Yu took it over and looked at it. After confirming that it was correct, he took out a dozen banknotes from his pocket, took out four of them and handed them to Manager Xu.
This is four hundred taels of silver. Let Manager Xu take a look. "
After confirming that the bank note was genuine, Manager Xu took out the key from his waist and stepped forward to open the lock on their feet.
"You can take this person away."
"You two, come with me. From now on, you will be members of my Su family."
After untying the chains around their ankles, the two of them sat on the ground and showed no reaction as before.
"Can I please help Manager Xu to find a few people to help carry these two people to my carriage?"
Manager Xu thought that Su Yu was just like those who usually come to buy people, using coercion and inducement, but he didn't expect that the little girl in front of him didn't play according to the routine. If he was not confident that the channel of buying people would not be leaked, he might suspect that it was someone else. The man sent to rescue the two.
After being stunned, he ordered someone to help the two of them out and got into the carriage where Su Yu and others came.
