"We need a few servants. Mengya can help us find some."

Mu Yi'an stated her requirements: she mainly wanted to buy women who could do manual labor and guard the gate.

"Sir, Madam, I have a family here. What do you think?"

Meng Ya Hang also wanted to retain this big customer. He bought a house and servants, and wouldn't he have to acquire more property in the future?

"Tell me what happened."

"Wei Fu, in his thirties, used to be the head steward of a wealthy family. Wei Liu is the head stewardess of the madam. Their son, Wei Dong, is skilled in martial arts and is the young master's bodyguard, having been trained since childhood. They have two younger children: their daughter is a third-class maid, and their son hasn't started working in the courtyard yet. The Wei family also has two elderly people who are in good health."

Meng Yaxing had previously had dealings with their household and had also interacted with Wei Fu and his wife. If it weren't for the recent incident where that official committed a crime and all the servants were sold off, it would be extremely rare to encounter such domesticated sons.

He felt that Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were not bad people. The Wei family was old and young, so it was better not to separate them for sale.

"Sounds good, but... how loyal are these house-bred sons?"

"Don't worry, Madam. To put it bluntly, no matter how capable they are, they are still servants. No matter who buys them or which household they work for, they are all just trying to make a living."

They knew that as servants, disloyalty to their masters would lead to a bad end. Whoever held their indentures was their master.

Meng Ya has been in this business for over ten years and has a clear understanding of it.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Meng Yaxing brought the person over.

The older couple were in their early fifties and looked quite robust. The middle-aged couple were in their thirties, and their three children also looked healthy.

The family of seven was dressed neatly, cleanly, and well-behaved, without looking around distractedly.

“Wei Fu, these are Master Jiang and Madam Jiang. They need loyal servants.”

Meng Yaxing made it clear from the outset that all he could do was help this family find a good place to live, so that their acquaintance wouldn't have been in vain.

"Don't worry, sir and madam. Loyalty is the most basic requirement for us servants."

Wei Fu's eyes did not dodge; they had been taught since childhood to be loyal to their master.

“Our family is small. My father teaches at the academy, but he doesn’t have much of a future.”

Mu Yi'an just wanted to live a peaceful life, without needing servants who were full of schemes and constantly fighting.

"Master, Madam, we are so grateful that our family can be together."

The Wei family members all nodded in agreement; they were genuinely afraid of being sold off separately, making it difficult to see each other again in the future.

Mu Yi'an kept the Wei family and bought a woman in her thirties and two guards.

"Meng Yaxing, that's all for today. Could you keep an eye out for large estates near the prefectural city? Something with dry land, paddy fields, and woodlands, and close to the city."

"Don't worry, sir and madam, I will definitely find it for you."

Meng Ya was overjoyed; business was finally coming in.

Mu Yi'an paid the silver, received the indenture, and then had Meng Yaxing go to the yamen to exchange it for a red contract.

With the staff in place, cleaning the yard is no longer a problem.
