614 Buy some housekeeping (2 more)
Song Wanyue was in front and twelve beggars were in the back, among which some were injured. Walking along the way, many people were curious and followed behind to watch.
The yamen runners at the county yamen gate saw it from a distance and hurriedly ran in to report.
Captain Zhang happened to walk out. When he saw the yamen runners panic, he stopped him and asked. He heard that it was Song Wanyue and a group of beggars coming over and immediately greeted him.
"Miss Song, what happened?"
Captain Zhang is very famous in the county. These beggars usually walk around him when they see him. Now they are very polite to Song Wanyue and are even more afraid to breathe.
"The workshop at home needs someone to guard, so I bought them and brought them to get the contract to sell the body."
When buying a beggar to guard the workshop, Captain Zhang didn't know what Song Wanyue thought. Not only did these people not have the skills, but they also had unclear hands and feet. If you buy them back, it would be a disaster.
Kindly suggest, "Miss Song, think about it again. If you want to buy someone, I can take you to find someone."
It is better to buy some strong men than these beggars.
"Thank you, I want them, please help me."
Seeing that she made up her mind, Captain Zhang led the person in, asked the master to write a contract for sale, and asked the twelve beggars to press their fingerprints, and looked at them majestic, "Now you are Miss Song's people. If you dare to do something shameful to you, she has the right to kill you."
...
After coming out of the county government, Song Wanyue led twelve people to the ready-made clothing shop and called out the shopkeeper, "According to their figure, one person will bring them a piece of clothes, just ordinary ones."
The shopkeeper was very strange, but he did not delay. After seeing it one by one, he turned around and entered the house. Soon after, he took out his twelve-piece clothes.
Song Wanyue paid the money and asked the beggars to take their own clothes, and then took them to the cotton shop, bought twelve bed sheets and quilts, and took them back to the backyard of the Song family's house, pointing to a small cottage, "This is the bathroom, there is well water there. I'll give you an hour to wash yourself."
After she left, the beggars were still unable to recover when they looked at the clothes and quilts in their hands.
Song Wanyue went to the old man's house and told him about the purchase of the person he had bought. After hearing this, the old man nodded, "It's time to buy some people."
"They are still young, and I plan to let those guards train them. In two or three years, we will have our own staff."
The old man nodded again, and he was also planning to suggest that Song Wanyue buy some people, so that training can protect his family.
"The twelve people are a little short, so I should buy more."
Song Wanyue responded and spoke with him for a while. After an hour, she asked Xu Liang to go to the backyard to tell the people to go to the door with the quilt.
She went out first, got on the carriage, and after the beggars came out, she asked the coachman to drive the carriage.
The beggars followed the carriage and left the city gate, and followed them to the place where the workshop was built.
It was still early, and the people working had not dispersed, and the Song family had not left. Seeing Song Wanyue with her, Song Shen jogged over, "Little sister, this is..."
"The people I just bought will be responsible for guarding the workshop from now on."
Song Shen looked at them and saw that they were not old and about the same as him. He was a little worried. If someone really wanted to destroy the workshop, even three of them could not beat one of them.
"My second brother brought the registration book, registered them, and paid them monthly."
Song Shen took the registration book and was about to ask the beggars' names. Song Wanyue said, "Let them be called Song Yi and Song Er by age..."
Song Shen was stunned.
Others of the Song family also saw it and came over. They heard that it was someone bought by Song Wanyue, but they didn't say anything.
Several village chiefs also came over and saw that Song Shen was registering the names of several people. Village chief Gu said, "Don't worry, Miss Song, I will arrange a residence for them in a while."
"No, just prepare some straw for them and they can sleep on the foundation."
Village Chief Gu,...
Grandma Song felt that it was not suitable. Although these were bought, they could not sleep on the foundation. Just as she was about to persuade her, Song Wanyue took her arm and walked towards the place where the foundation was laid. "When will grandma go to see her grandmother?"
Grandma Song was suddenly distracted by her, "It'll be over tomorrow."
"Grandma will measure their figures in a while, and after she goes back, she will find a few women to make two clothes for each of them."
Grandma Song answered.
It was getting darker and the workers were working one after another. The Song family also took a carriage home. The six guards also returned to where they lived in Gujia Village these days, and the place where the workshops were built became quiet.
"Damn it!"
The beggar who was kicked by Song Wanyue with a stone is now called Song San, and he threw the quilt in his hand to the ground.
The other three also threw the quilts.
When the others saw it, they stepped back a little.
Song Wanyue not only bought them new clothes and quilts, but also gave them wages every month, which was much better than expected.
"We can't just surrender!"
Song San said angrily.
The other three nodded, "What do you think you should do?"
Song San looked around and found that there were digging foundations everywhere, and there was nothing else. "We always have to buy wood to build a house. Then we will give her a fire."
...
Song Lin and Xu did not return to the county today. Meng brought the maid and servant over there. Someone cooked and guarded the house, so they could stay at home for one night with confidence.
Song Wanyue went to Song Shen's house and gave him the 15,000 taels of silver bills he had received. "Tomorrow, let the second uncle and grandpa and several village chiefs go to see the bricks and tiles."
Song Shen took it and remembered it carefully before putting it in his arms. Thinking of the people he bought, he couldn't help but ask, "Little sister, are the people you bought younger? If someone really steals things, they can't beat one of them."
"That's not necessarily the case. The second brother underestimated them. Before they bought them, they were all beggars."
"beggar?"
Song Shen was surprised.
"They are not ordinary beggars. They are specialized in stealing things. They are more sensitive than ordinary people in their reactions and judgments."
When she heard that it was a stealing thing, Song Shen became nervous and subconsciously touched the silver notes in his arms, "They won't steal their family members, right?"
"No, they don't have the courage, second brother just don't worry."
Grandma Song got off the carriage and went to find several women, moved out the cheesecloth fabric given by the Gu family, told them the size, and asked them to cut out two pieces of clothes and take them home to make them.
"Yue'er said, a piece of clothing is twenty-month."
The women happily left with their clothes, one piece was twenty cents, and two pieces were forty cents, and they could make it in half an evening.
The supper was made by Xu and Liu Cuilan. I haven’t seen each other for a long time. Liu Cuilan has a lot to say to Xu.
