When they arrived at the brokerage, Gu Yundong looked for the broker that the waiter had introduced.
Hearing that she only planned to buy one person, the broker was still smiling and her attitude was exceptionally enthusiastic.
“Miss, are you planning to buy a man or a woman? What’s the age requirement? Is there any taboo?”
Gu Yundong did not speak in a rough voice. It was too tiring. She had changed into men’s clothes purely to deliver tea to the second young master of the Xin family.
Now that she spoke, her voice was delicate and tender. The broker immediately recognized her gender.
Gu Yundong sat in the reception room and took a sip of tea before saying, “I want a man. He must be agile, honest, and strong. There’s no taboo.”
“Alright, wait a moment, Miss.”
The broker smiled and went out. After a while, she brought a row of men in.
This prefectural city was different from the county city. There were many people.
Gu Yundong raised her head and listened to the broker’s introduction. “This one used to be a stable driver. The previous owner thought that his driving was unsteady, so he sold him.”
“This person is selling himself. He escaped from the Yongning Prefecture previously and was arranged to live in a remote village when he settled down. He really can’t survive.”
“This is…”
The broker described the experiences one by one, but Gu Yundong was not satisfied with them all.
She was looking for someone to take care of Gu Dajiang’s recuperation. Most men were careless, especially these people. Although they looked honest, they were also clumsy. Not only would they not do their job well, but they would also worsen her father’s condition.
Seeing that she was dissatisfied, the broker immediately waved her hand and let these people leave.
“Miss, what are you planning to do with the servant?”
“To take care of a patient.” After thinking for a while, Gu Yundong added, “It’s best if they have such an experience or used to be an apprentice in the medical hall and pharmacy. Do you have any?”
The broker was stunned for a moment. She thought for a moment and said, “There is one.”
“Hmm?”
“This person’s original young master’s body was weak all year round. He had served the young master for a few years and is a meticulous person. However, that young master’s condition worsened once and he was in danger. He almost… His mother said that these servants didn’t serve him well and killed two of them. The rest were sold.”
Gu Yundong raised his eyebrows. From the meaning of her words, the servants were innocent victims who took the blame.
She nodded. “Tell the man to come. I’ll take a look.”
The broker quickly brought him over. He was a man in his early twenties and looked very thin and weak. There was no expression on his face.
Gu Yundong asked him a few questions, but he tried his best to make it clear with the least amount of words.
Gu Yundong was pleasantly surprised. Although this person was taciturn, he spoke clearly and was very organized. Moreover, he was very clear about the things to take note of when taking care of a patient. Although he was thin, he was quite strong.
“Him, then.”
The broker’s face lit up. “Alright, then I’ll prepare the contract for you now.” She was actually relieved. This person was not easy to sell. It was mainly because everyone felt that it was very unlucky that the guy had served a patient who did not end well. He had been in the brokerage for a few months, but he had not been sold.
The man was also a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down.
Gu Yundong waited until they left the brokerage before asking with interest, “Your name is Xue Rong, right? Who was your previous master?”
Xue Rong paused for a moment and answered simply, “Xin family.”
Gu Yundong stopped in her tracks. The Xin family? Was it the Xin family that she knew about?
