Chapter 195 Going Out
The capital city is prosperous, and almost everyone in the Gu family is here for the first time, so naturally they want to take a good look around.
It was just that when he parted with Brother Shen before going to Beijing, he gave him many instructions.
"You have to wait for me. I will take you to have a good tour of Beijing. There is nothing I don't know about the delicious food and fun things in Beijing!" Brother Shen was determined to take the job of being a tour guide.
Therefore, the Gu family went out today just to buy someone.
It so happened that the Sun family did not have many servants brought into the capital, and they needed to replenish one or two, so the two families made an appointment to get together.
Ren Yazi was eloquent and wanted to recommend a family of nine to the Gu family right from the start.
According to him, in this family, the old man can be the doorman, the old lady can serve Old Mrs. Gu, the middle-aged couple is the housekeeper and the butler, and there are four children. The eldest one is Gu Mingda's permanent attendant, and the other three children follow the children of the Gu family.
After the human traffickers made such arrangements, there was not a single person free.
Nine people were packaged together and sold together, and there was a mute among them, so the price was very low.
Old Mrs. Gu was a person who would never miss a good opportunity, and she was extremely excited on the spot.
But Li stopped her.
"Aunt, the human traffickers are very cunning. They recommend it so enthusiastically right from the start. There must be some problems. There is also a mute among them. Who knows if he has been mute since birth, or he was involved in the secret affairs of the mansion and became mute due to poison." Li said in a low voice.
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she was immediately shocked: "We don't want this kind of thing!"
Li laughed when she heard this and said, "Aunt, even if he was poisoned and mute, it doesn't necessarily mean he made a mistake."
Old Mrs. Gu shook her head like a rattle and said, "We are a small family, so it would be better to bring in some well-behaved and quiet ones."
Li nodded.
Old Mrs. Gu turned to ask for advice humbly: "Niece-in-law, you have enough experience, you have to help us take a good look."
Li said: "This is natural."
She turned to the human trafficker and said, "Did this big family commit some crime and get kicked out by the previous owner?"
Renyazi smiled awkwardly and said, "Madam, we just passed each other around. I don't know much about what happened in the inner house."
Li nodded and said, "Forget about this kind of thing whose origin is unknown."
The trafficker waved his hand, and another group of people were brought up. This time, they were a family of four.
"The owner of this family committed a crime and was sold out by the government. Since they are a complete family, I think it is better not to sell them separately," the trafficker explained patiently.
Li simply waved her hand and asked the mother and daughter of the family to come forward.
She carefully checked their nails, glanced at their clothes, and said to Mrs. Gu in a low voice, "The nails are clean and the clothes are neat. This can be considered, but we still need to ask carefully and consider many aspects."
Old Mrs. Gu nodded rapidly.
"What do you do in the master's house in front?" Li asked.
The woman replied, "The old servant will be in charge of combing the lady's hair, and my daughter will be serving in the young lady's courtyard."
"Combing hair, can you comb any hair?" asked Mrs. Li.
The woman said, "Some common hair styles are available."
Li said, "Then go into the inner room and comb the old lady's hair into a high bun."
Li then asked the others in detail.
By the time Old Lady Gu came out with her hair in a high bun, Li had almost finished asking all her questions.
"Niece-in-law, this woman is gentle in her movements and seems to be honest. What do you think of her?" Old Mrs. Gu asked Li.
Li nodded and said, "Aunt, I asked for you. The man in this family has been traveling with his former master for many years. He has a wide network of contacts, so it will be convenient for him to do anything in the future."
"This kid from this family used to be the young master's study companion. He knows a few words. In the future, he can serve not only Brother Gu, but also A'yan and A'zhao."
Li's analysis was so logical that the Gu family was almost ready to make a decision on the spot.
Niu Niu suddenly shook her head.
"My dear, don't you like it?" Li asked in a low voice.
Niuniu frowned and said, "I don't like it very much. If you like it, you don't have to worry about me."
Both the Gu and Sun families attach great importance to Niu Niu's opinion. After hearing this, they would definitely not continue to buy from this family.
Zhang Yunniang said to Renyazi, "Are there any others?"
The human trafficker was stunned. After all, he had been questioning the customer for such a long time and was about to buy the product, but why did he suddenly change his mind?
"Old lady, master and mistress, I don't think it's inappropriate. These four people came into my hands yesterday. Although their master family committed a crime, they did not commit any crime." said the human trafficker.
Zhang Yunniang glanced at her daughter and said, "It may not be that they have a problem, but my daughter doesn't like it. I can't let her be unhappy for the sake of outsiders."
The human trafficker looked at the six-year-old Niuniu and said, "Madam, it's not easy to find a servant that suits your taste. How can you let it go just because of a few words from a child? This is too frivolous."
Zhang Yunniang's smile faded and she said, "In my family, my daughter's words are the most important."
Seeing her expression change, Renyazi didn't dare to force her to recommend him. He could only say angrily, "Madam, if you miss this family, there may not be better ones in the future..."
Zhang Yunniang was calm: "If I can't buy it today, it will be the same if I come back in a few days."
As for whether I will still buy it from this human trafficker in a few days, that’s hard to say.
The human trafficker was afraid of losing this business, so he didn't dare to say much. He could only wave his hand and send another group of people up.
Among the people who came this time was a family of three.
A middle-aged couple with an eight-year-old daughter.
It was still the same process. This family of three was said to be servants of an official, but when it came to their temperament, they were no match for the family of four mentioned above.
After Li carefully questioned the three people and confirmed that there was nothing serious wrong, he turned to look at Niu Niu.
Even the human trafficker was staring at Niu Niu, fearing that the child would jump out and say something dissatisfied again.
But this time, Niu Niu kept looking at the eight-year-old girl and did not shake her head.
"Sister-in-law, this child is eight years old and can be a companion to Niu Niu. Why don't you buy the child for the family of three?" Li asked Zhang Yuniang in a low voice.
Zhang Yuniang nodded.
This middle-aged couple is in their prime. The man can be Gu Mingda's attendant, and the woman is decent-looking, so she can be a housekeeper for Zhang Yuniang.
The human trafficker finally made an order, with a look of excitement on his face, and pushed out a group of boys aged about eleven or twelve.
"These boys are young, all of them are smart and sensible. They can follow the two young masters as study companions." Ren Yazi highly recommended.
But he saw that the smile on Zhang Yuniang's mouth suddenly faded.
"Were these people sold to you by your family?" Zhang Yuniang asked softly.
