Chapter 535 Beggar
After hearing this, the five young escorts immediately knelt down and said, "Yes, you guys have remembered."
Gu Jinli looked at Qin Sanlang and smiled at him: "Brother Qin, go try their skills."
Qin Sanlang smiled and nodded, then moved towards the five people.
The five escorts immediately fought back, but all five of them were no match for Qin Sanlang. Within a quarter of an hour, they were beaten to the ground by Qin Sanlang.
Gu Jinli frowned, this skill is a bit disappointing.
Qin Sanlang said, "If I go back and let Uncle Liu and Grandpa train me for two years, I can fight off a few bandits."
"Can we only fight off a few bandits?" Gu Jinli was still not satisfied. She bought these people from the **** agency to deal with the soldiers.
The Emperor of Chu is so capable, and now with the help of his old ministers, the chaos in the northwest has been suppressed. However, with the Emperor of Chu's character of controlling everything, the Great Chu will be over sooner or later.
For herself and her family, she had to train a guard in advance who was as skilled as an army. If Chu was destroyed, she could use the trained guard to protect her family and prevent them from dying in troubled times.
After hearing this, Qin Sanlang paused and looked at her with a deep look in his eyes. He seemed to have guessed the purpose of buying these people. But now that there were so many people, he couldn't ask more questions. He could only suppress his words and put the five little escorts to death. Pulled up.
"Aunt Lu, our family wants these five people." Gu Jinli said to Aunt Lu.
Aunt Lu was a good person. When she saw that Gu Jinli seemed to want to buy some people who knew how to box and kick, she immediately came over and said, "Little guest, we Guanya still have dozens of people who know how to box and kick. Do you want to buy them? Those people are just for people." The guardians of the hospital are just some families who dont have enough money to spare, and some families have committed crimes, so they were sent to Guanya. How about I call them here and let the little guests take a look? "
Third Grandpa frowned when he heard this and asked Aunt Lu: "My master has committed a crime. What was it?"
Aunt Lu smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just the crime of corruption. The master's family was arrested, and all the servants were confiscated and sold."
He added specifically: "It has nothing to do with the recent water bandit case."
Aunt Lu said this because the water banditry case caused panic in the Jianghuai and Jiangnan areas. Many rich families came to buy people, but they were not willing to buy servants from families related to the water banditry case.
Gu Jinli is also not willing to buy official servants who are involved in the water bandit case.
He asked Aunt Lu again: "Are there any maids who know how to fist and kick?"
She wants to buy a few maids who know how to fist and kick, so that they can be used to protect Gu Jinxiu in the future, or be kept by her side to help.
Aunt Lu said: "There are six of them. Can I bring them all to the little guest to see?"
Gu Jinli nodded: "Sure."
Aunt Lu was very happy, and soon she brought over sixty servants, divided into three groups: "The group on the left was sold by the master's family who came here because they were fleeing from famine, and had no money to spare; the group in the middle was the master's. Domestic criminals are sold as official slaves; the six on the right are maids who know some fists and kicks, please take a look at them."
After saying that, he handed her three more booklets and asked her to read the records on them.
Gu Jinli flipped through the book and looked at the six maids from the corner of his eye. Although they were nervous, they were very well-behaved and did not do anything arrogant when she was not paying attention.
After a while, she closed the book, walked up to a maid, and said: "Tong Dayu, sixteen, the Tong family gave birth to a son, and he worked as a personal maid for the young lady of the Tong family. Because the young lady died of a heart attack, the whole family was taken over by the master. For sale?
Tong Dayu bowed and said, "Return to my little master, that's right."
Gu Jinli looked at her wrist and saw a silk flower made of white cloth on her wrist... This is the custom of Da Chu. If someone in the family dies, they will wear white flowers on their body.
Tong Dayu wears white silk flowers on her wrist, probably because she wants to wear white flowers for Miss Tong's family, but she is also afraid that others will see her and think she is unlucky. "Why are you wearing white silk flowers on your wrist?" Gu Jinli asked deliberately.
Tong Dayu immediately knelt down and choked up the reason, which was exactly what Gu Jinli had guessed. Finally, he begged: "Little master, in thirteen days it will be Miss Tong's 100th day. At that time, I will take the white silk flowers." I have a fever, is it done?"
Gu Jinli didn't mind this.
Aunt Lu said from the side: "Little guest, don't feel unlucky. This Tong Dayu is a kind and loyal person. He just wants to do his last bit of service for Miss Tong's family... Her family is also unlucky. Miss Tong had heart disease since she was a child, and she had been taking medicine to survive these years. However, after Miss Tong died, Mr. Tong and Mrs. Tong were still too sad and angry at the servants who served Miss Tong, and sent Tong Dayu's family to death. Sold, there are seven people in it.
However, the Tong family still has some conscience and did not sell Tong Dayu's family to private parties. Otherwise, sisters Tong Dayu would be so beautiful that they would be bought into prostitution by the madam in the building.
Gu Jinli looked at the records in the booklet and then went to see Tong Dayus parents and brothers. After learning that Tong Dayus father and Tong brothers were nursing homes, he was very satisfied and bought all seven members of their family.
Tong Dayu's family was crying with joy. They thought their family would be separated from each other, but they were sold to another place again. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Jinli and the others: "Thank you, little master, and the old master."
The third grandpa couldnt see this and waved his hand to tell them to get up quickly.
Gu Jinli and the others stayed in Guanya for most of the day and bought twenty servants, but Gu Jinli still felt that it was not enough. There was too much work in the pharmaceutical workshop. How much work could these twenty people do in a day?
But these were the only twenty people she could like in Guan Ya.
Aunt Lu saw it and hurriedly said: "When will the little guest leave Fucheng? Our Guanya will have another batch of goods in two days. There will be about a hundred people. Why don't the little guest come and take a look then? I guess we can buy it. A few satisfying ones.
After hearing this, Gu Jinli did not nod immediately, but only said: "Let's talk about it later."
After hearing this, Aunt Lu said nothing more. Instead, she took the banknote given by Gu Jinli and went to help her get the deeds of sale for twenty servants.
The price of buying people has gone up now, and buying people in Guanya is even more expensive. Although Uncle Cheng helps, it still costs three taels of silver each. However, Guan Ya would help her go to the government to exchange for the red deed, which saved her a lot of money.
Aunt Lu said: "Little guests, don't think it's expensive. Although the price of buying a person is more expensive than some time ago, it is still much cheaper than in previous years when there were no victims to flee the famine. Buying a person in a good year is expensive. Buying a person is expensive. A person who knows boxing and kicking will cost you at least a dozen taels of silver, and its so popular that you cant even buy it.
In addition to the twenty servants that Gu Jinli bought, Gu Daya also bought two households, with a total of eight servants. These people can make roast ducks and cook in restaurants. They have the deed of selling themselves, so they can use them with confidence.
After Gu Jinli and the others waited for half an hour in Guanya, Aunt Lu brought them the exchanged red deed: "Young guest, eldest sister of the Gu family, this is the deed of sale of your two servants, please take it."
Gu Jinli took the deed of sale and asked Aunt Lu, "Auntie, can you help us check on a few people who came from the northwest?"
She told Aunt Lu about the situation of Gu Fuya's family.
Grandpa Third was listening, his eyes red. He came here because he wanted to come to Yaxing to ask if there was any news about Fuya's family.
It's a pity that Aunt Lu helped flip through the book for more than an hour, and finally shook her head and said: "There is no such family. You can go to Private Ya and ask, maybe you can find it there."
Third Grandpa was very sad to hear this, but he still thanked Aunt Lu and went back to Jiang's house with Gu Jinli and the servants he bought.
But before they arrived at Jiang's house, Gu Jinli whispered to Qin Sanlang: "There is a little beggar who has been following us. Go and catch him."
Qin Sanlang nodded: "I saw it. You take the person back first, and I will catch him in a moment."
