Mr. Xie was stunned for a moment: "Buy, buy someone?"

"That's right." Zhao Ruxi nodded, "You bought someone, and their body and deed are in your hands. Unless they become escaped slaves, their life and death are in your hands. They have the same interests as you and are closely related to each other. You are living a good life.

If your life is not good, their life will be better; if your life is not good, their life will be even worse, or they will have to be sold by you again. Therefore, slaves are more trustworthy than any relatives. Of course, if you buy people

You also need to be screened when doing so, and it depends on your character."

"Okay, if you buy someone, where can you live?" Xie said.

Don't blame her for her lack of knowledge, but the business is developing too fast. They are still thinking like a farmer or a small trader. Suddenly they have to do business involving the entire county or even the entire capital. They can't adapt to it all at once, and they can't turn around.

Bend over.

On the other hand, the current house of the Xu family still belongs to Zhao Ruxi in their perception. They only use it temporarily. The house is small, suitable for their family of four. Buying people? Buying slaves is more money.

It's enough, but after buying it back, how to arrange their food and accommodation?

So Xu Yongyi and Xie didn't think about it at all. They were always entangled in the issue of whether to invite good relatives in the village to help.

"How much money does the family have now?" Zhao Ruxi asked.

"Wait a minute." Ms. Xie wanted to get up and get the money box.

Zhao Ruxi held her hand: "I just want to know. You just need to tell me how much you earned during this period. I don't need to calculate my share separately. I just need a total."

Xu Yongyi has the habit of keeping accounts. In addition, this business is a partnership with Zhao Ruxi, so he remembers the accounts clearly. And Mr. Xie's greatest pleasure is to listen to her husband report the numbers every night before going to bed, and see how his family is doing.

How much money have you made?

Therefore, when Zhao Ruxi asked, she clearly reported a number: "More than one hundred and thirty-six taels."

Speaking of this number, a smile appeared on her face.

According to the share, they can get eighty-one taels of silver. And with eighty-one taels, they can buy the yard where they live now.

In just over half a month, she could earn a house in the county town. She and her husband would laugh out of their dreams.

If the business in Beijing expands, how much money can be made in a month? She really can't even think about it.

Zhao Ruxi nodded and stood up: "Aunt, there will be classes in the bookstore soon. Xu Xue and I are going back. Regarding the business and buying people in the capital, please wait for me for two days. I will let you know when I think about it clearly.

Xu Xue sent a message to you and uncle."

"Okay." Although Mrs. Xie was reluctant to leave, she also knew that the academy had very little time to rest at noon. It was not easy for Zhao Ruxi to come here, and she did not dare to stay any longer, so she sent them out.

Before returning to the academy and leaving, Xu Xue said: "Sister, I have written a story book and I will show it to you after class."

"Okay." Zhao Ruxi smiled and waved to her before entering the north courtyard.

During this time, she asked for leave, and the masters of the Four Books and Five Classics left a lot of homework. Zhao Ruxi needed to complete it, so she would not go to class D to attend the afternoon classes. And she also made a choice, planning to give up some classes. She even had afternoon classes

The idea of ​​going out to do things instead of staying in the academy.

However, all of this must be based on the premise that she will do well in tomorrow's exam. Otherwise, given Mrs. Cui's strictness, she probably would not agree to her excessive request.

After school in the afternoon, Zhao Ruxi was packing her things in the classroom when she saw Mrs. Cui leading a woman in her thirties into the classroom.

"This is Mother Song, a servant of Mr. Kang's family." Mrs. Cui first introduced her to Zhao Ruxi.

Song's mother bowed to Zhao Ruxi and said with a smile: "The old lady specially sent a slave to serve the girl."

Zhao Ruxi was a little confused and didn't understand what her newly recognized master meant, so she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui, however, had a straight face as always and had no intention of explaining for Kang Shilin.

Zhao Ruxi could only smile at Song's mother and said, "Okay. I'll pack my things and go out with you."

The two said goodbye to Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Song said: "The old man can't come in and out of the academy at will, so he asked the old slave to come and pick up the girl. The Kang family has a three-story house in the county, and the old man said that it should be used as a painting academy first. If the girl feels that

If it’s inconvenient, find a place near the academy so that the girl won’t have to spend time on the road after school.”

"It's not inconvenient." Zhao Ruxi said, "Beining isn't that big, so it doesn't take much time to get there by car."

The two of them left the academy. Zhao Ruxi did not get on the Kang family's carriage, but took the carriage that Qing Feng picked up and followed Mother Song to the Kang family's house.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a vermilion door.

Before she even got off the carriage, Zhao Ruxi heard the concierge call out: "Go and report to the old man quickly. I'm talking about Miss Zhao."

Then someone came out of the door and said with a smile: "Little junior sister, you are finally here. If you don't come, master will curse me again."

"Third senior brother." Zhao Ruxi saluted Wu Zong.

"Don't be too polite, come in quickly." Wu Zong waved his hand, urging Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi was helpless against Mr. Kang's quick temper. The old man didn't know when she was out of school, so why did he need to urge her like this?

Kang Shilin's house is said to have three entrances, but it is different from the ordinary three-entry courtyard. After entering the gate, you don't go inside. You turn to an arch next to it and go out, which is a garden. There are luxuriant flowers and trees inside, as well as pavilions and pavilions.

have.

Zhao Ruxi followed Wu Zong along the verandah for a while and arrived at an open pavilion.

"Ah, we're finally here. Come on, see if all the things I prepared are ready. If not, tell me immediately and I'll ask someone to prepare them." Before Zhao Ruxi could see the person clearly, she was pulled away by Kang Shilin.

As the owner of a training class, she can charge three thousand taels of silver in tuition fees. How could she not prepare painting materials?

"I brought something." Zhao Ruxi smiled.

Qing Feng, who came in with her, quickly opened a bundle she was carrying. Lu Bo and a nurse from the uncle's house also put the things they were carrying on the ground.

Only then did Zhao Ruxi have time to look at the students in the training class.

Together with the master and two senior brothers, there were actually twelve people.

Three-nine-twenty-seven, could it be possible that I can earn twenty-seven thousand taels of silver today?

Zhao Ruxi got excited just thinking about it.

Made a fortune.

Before she could finish her excitement, Kang Shilin handed over a box: "Thirty-six thousand taels of silver notes are all put inside."

Without waiting for Zhao Ruxi to react, he pointed to everyone and introduced: "This is Fang Jingye from the Imperial Academy, this is Chen Zhongqiu from Jizhou, this is Cen Song, the young master of the Cen family, and Lu Junyu, the young master of the Lu family..."

After hastily introducing everyone, he pointed at Zhao Ruxi and said to everyone: "This is my little apprentice..."
