Chapter 26 Buying People
Jiang Zhixia did it when she thought of it. She was afraid that another thief would run in at night, so she looked like she was powerless. Not to mention fighting, she probably couldn't even run away.
However, thinking of this, Zhixia felt that she had to exercise her body in the future. Not to mention that she could be better at learning martial arts, at least she had to be healthy. If anything happened, she could run fast, right?
So Jiang Zhixia didn't even eat breakfast. She put on her clothes for going out, put on a hat and left the alley, and went to the gate of the yard to hire a carriage.
Jiang Zhixia hired a carriage and went to the door of Changlongya Shang in Nanfang.
After getting off the bus, Zhixia realized that because it was still early, the door to Changlongyaxing had not been opened.
Jiang Zhixia was quite embarrassed-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jiang Zhixia turned around and left Changlongya Store, found a breakfast shop on the street, went in and bought breakfast to eat.
After breakfast, Zhixia looked at the sky and saw that there were more pedestrians on the street. She felt that Yashang should be able to open the door. So she slowly walked to the gate of Changlong Yashang.
Just so happened that the guy from Changlongyashi had just opened the door and was bent down to put away the threshold.
When the guy saw that a customer had come to the door, he quickly greeted Zhixia enthusiastically and entered the door.
After Jiang Zhixia entered the gate, she stood in the yard and waited, and asked the clerk to find Liu Po.
After Liu Po came, Zhixia told her that she wanted to buy someone to serve her.
Liu Po was very impressed by Jiang Zhixia because of the reward of one tael of silver given to Jiang Zhixia last time.
When he heard that Jiang Zhixia wanted to buy someone, he invited her to the lobby and sat down. While pouring tea, he said with a smile: "The girl wants to buy someone and come to our Yashang. I wonder what kind of person the girl wants to buy? Don't worry, the people who have trained our Yashang must be honest and capable people. The kind of people who sell because of mistakes, our Yashang will not accept them. Some of the people here are slaves sent by the dilapidated wealthy families. Some are slaves sold by the convicted families. Some are slaves sold by the unemployed families. Some are slaves who have no owners. The government lets us sell them for the people who sell them. Some are poor people who sell themselves. They are either good at needlework, cooking, etiquette, musical instruments, or... "
"No need to introduce it." Jiang Zhixia stopped Liu Po's talk with a smile, "I would like to ask first, is there any woman in your tooth shop who knows how to do kung fu?"
Jiang Zhixia asked with a faint hope.
"Women who know how to be kung fu? There is really no one." Liu Po pondered for a moment and replied awkwardly, "There are few women who learn martial arts. To be honest, women who know martial arts cannot sell themselves. If they lack money, they mostly come to find jobs. Most of them will be hired by officials or wealthy families to protect their wives and ladies. Few people sell themselves as slaves."
Jiang Zhixia smiled bitterly.
Indeed, if a woman knows martial arts, would it be difficult to make money? Even if it is difficult for a while, she will apply for a job in a wealthy family and will not sell herself as a slave. After all, freedom is still very important for people in the martial arts world.
"Then please find me someone with great strength." Jiang Zhixia asked without hope, and she was not particularly disappointed.
"The aunt also knows that I live alone now. Last night, there were thieves in our alley." Jiang Zhixia said with a wry smile.
Po Liu was also shocked when she heard this, "It shouldn't be. The families in your alley have lived in a long time, so there shouldn't be people who are thieves."
When Jiang Zhixia heard this, he quickly explained: "The aunt misunderstood. She is not from the alley. I heard from the yamen runners that they were refugees who suffered from floods."
Liu Po also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "I misunderstood. I think so. Most of the people in that alley are neighbors for more than ten years."
Jiang Zhixia nodded repeatedly, "The neighbors are all good people."
After drawing this conclusion, Jiang Zhixia smiled bitterly again and said, "Now, I am afraid of being unsafe to encounter thieves, so I want to find a woman with great strength to accompany me to strengthen my courage. Whether it is an old lady or a girl, as long as I have great strength, good character, and willing to work."
When Liu Po heard this, she immediately understood what Zhixia meant.
She pondered for a while and said, "Our Yashang mainly deals with land and houses. As for the buyers, there are not many. A few days ago, I sent a few batches of trained people to a few noble family. At present, there are not many people in Yashang. However, there is really such an old lady who meets the requirements of a girl. She is a rough man and farmed in the countryside before, and she is really strong. She is also an honest person who can endure hardships and be able to do it. But..." Liu Po said hesitantly.
However, she immediately reacted and said, "Miss, wait a moment, I will call her over, and I will see if it meets the requirements first?"
After saying that, Liu Po turned around and went out.
After a while, Po Liu brought an old woman in her fifties and walked in.
The woman looked a little old, but her eyes showed honesty. Although there were several patches on her clothes, she was washed clean and her hair was neatly combed.
After the old lady came in, she first gave Zhixia a queer.
Jiang Zhixia had a pretty good impression of her at first sight. She was honest and honest in her face and looked clean and neat.
Jiang Zhixia asked a few simple questions and learned that she was actually in her early forties.
However, it is because I have been farming in the countryside, so I look very old.
Although the old lady looked very honest, she was very refreshing and quick to answer and said without being squeamish. She also saw that she lifted the stool with one hand effortlessly. Zhixia believed that she was very strong--at least bigger than her.
So Zhixia thought about it and decided to buy her.
After Jiang Zhixia and Po Liu settled the money for the mother-in-law's sales, they took the contract for the body to be sold. They thought that they would go to the yamen to register later, so they took the mother-in-law out.
Po Liu wanted to send Zhixia out, so she chatted with Zhixia while walking.
From the corner of Zhixia's eyes, she saw this woman turning back all the way.
She was in doubt, but when she was about to reach the door, the woman suddenly knelt down with a thud, which scared Zhixia.
"Please be good, my master, Rong Nu will say goodbye to his family." The woman kowtowed anxiously and begged sadly. Her face was full of tears, which made people feel quite unbearable.
Jiang Zhixia was startled and quickly stopped her from kowtowing and asked her to get up and speak.
She planned to buy someone as a servant, but she didn't intend to treat people harshly. She didn't intend to bear this kind of situation of kneeling at any time.
"What's the situation?" Zhixia asked Liu Po who was with her side in a confused manner.
"This, this is how it is." Liu Po sighed helplessly, and told Zhixia in detail about the situation.
