When she heard that she was good at growing fruit trees, Zhen Wanwan's eyes lit up.
It's like we've got exactly what we needed; now who needs to spend money to hire someone!
After introducing himself, Wang Fu went on to introduce his wife and three children.
His wife also knows how to farm and is good at housework and other chores.
The eldest daughter is steady and skilled in needlework and cooking; the second daughter is clever and sensible; and the youngest son is good at socializing.
Hearing this, Zhen Wanwan was already quite satisfied. Most importantly, this family showed no reluctance whatsoever about being sold into slavery.
Furthermore, they know how to actively seek out buyers, and with others to compare them to, the difference becomes apparent.
As soon as the other party finished replying, Zhen Wanwan had already made up her mind to buy the person.
Seeing this, the people behind started calculating their own plans.
They originally thought that since they had the opportunity to enter the government office and be selected by noble people, they must go to the most prestigious family.
Zhen Wanwan was the first family to enter. In their minds, although Zhen Wanwan was dressed very elegantly, who wouldn't want to take a look at the people behind her?
What if the families behind us become even wealthier?
This is ruining my future!
Therefore, the first family to approach the other party lacked a lot in terms of attitude.
But everyone who's come here has some brains.
Seeing Zhen Wanwan's extravagant spending, their hearts were stirred once again.
The people further back were the happiest, as they had plenty of time to observe Zhen Wanwan.
However, Zhen Wanwan did not give them that chance. After selecting the Wang Fu family of five, she spoke directly.
"Listen carefully, when you come here to do something, I only ask that you do it willingly. Being fickle is the worst thing you can do! I won't waste each other's time, so if you want to come, step forward first!"
At first, everyone was a little confused and looked at each other.
Only a very small number of people stepped forward without even hesitating.
Seeing this, the other refugees who had some ideas all stepped forward.
Seeing that half the number of people below had been reduced, Zhen Wanwan nodded in satisfaction.
The number of people was within her expectations, and even a bit more.
"Everyone else can go home now!"
Zhen Wanwan said calmly. Seeing this, the yamen runners below gathered all the refugees who hadn't stepped forward and prepared to send them back to the brokerage firm.
Everyone was taken aback. Was something wrong?
They've all come here today with the intention of climbing the social ladder.
Why are they sending them back after only seeing one aircraft?
"Sir, are you sure you're not mistaken? We only saw one household."
Someone couldn't help but tug at the sleeve of the yamen runner and asked aggrievedly.
The constable was short-tempered. He flung the vagrant's hand away and then glanced at him dismissively.
"We'll only be visiting one place today!"
Having worked in the government office for several years, he was well aware of what these people were thinking.
Naturally, it's because once they found out, they looked down on these people even more.
No one would willingly sell themselves into slavery unless they were desperate, but since you've made that decision, you're now harboring the idea of climbing the social ladder.
Who could tolerate such a servant?
Leaving aside the regret of the displaced people who learned the truth, let's focus on the present.
Zhen Wanwan silently counted the number of people in the room and then decided to have them talk about their family situation and their own strengths.
She met several suitable people along the way, and she nodded in agreement with each of them.
Then a woman with an ordinary appearance but a very capable and energetic demeanor stepped out from the group.
Judging from the way she walks, she doesn't seem to be someone who has no food or shelter.
Just looking at her muscular physique, Zhen Wanwan exudes a strong sense of security.
He'd be perfect as a bodyguard!
"What's your name? Do you have any family members? What's your best skill?"
Despite Zhen Wanwan's repeated questions, the other party didn't even blink and honestly revealed his identity completely.
"I have been an orphan since childhood, I do not know who my parents are, and no one has given me a name... My greatest skill is... martial arts."
If she were to use it, she almost blurted out the word 'murder'.
Remembering her master's warning, she tried to speak in a low voice, just to appear kind and approachable.
He tried his best to work next to his wife.
It's said that with the wife protecting you, even if you openly betray your master, he won't dare to make things difficult for you!
Of course, only the lady herself can be the next master of this traitor.
Anyone else who dares to even entertain such a thought will be utterly crushed.
Zhen Wanwan stood up from the chair and excitedly took the woman's hand.
"Wow, you're amazing! I never knew you knew martial arts!"
The woman's ears turned slightly red; this was the first time someone had complimented her!
It seems their inside information is true; the lady is gentle and kind, and treats her servants extremely well.
She couldn't wait to be by her side!
"Would you be willing to stay by my side from now on? Don't worry, I will never make you suffer!"
The light in Zhen Wanwan's eyes was frightening.
She was extremely pleased with this woman! From now on, she would no longer be afraid of being followed when she went out.
The woman hummed in response.
Zhen Wanwan immediately had someone fetch the silver and personally handed it to the woman.
"Alright! From now on, you're mine! By the way, now that you're here, I can't just call you whatever I want. Do you have a name you like?"
The woman shook her head. She was originally a bodyguard and only had a title, not a real name.
She was lucky this time to get the opportunity to come to the lady's side.
Zhen Wanwan was silent for a moment, then slapped her forehead and said happily, "Then how about I call you A-Yue from now on?"
Ah Yue! Ah Yue!
A-Yue silently repeated the name to herself a few times and then fell in love with it.
"This servant thanks Your Majesty for bestowing upon me a name!"
Zhen Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other party accepted the name.
"You're welcome, Yue! I hope that from now on, you'll live a joyful, happy, and fulfilling life, just like your name suggests!"
Zhen Wanwan could sense the indifferent aura emanating from A Yue.
He seemed indifferent to everything, as if he were being weighed down by a huge rock, unable to relax at all.
For some reason, Zhen Wanwan recalled the scene when she first met Zhu Yuan. At that time, she felt that Zhu Yuan was close to her, yet also far away.
He doesn't seem like a mortal; he's more like a world-weary deity.
After A-Yue, Zhen Wanwan took in several more refugees.
Zhu Yuan stood by with the child, silently watching over Zhen Wanwan and observing her actions.
She handled everything perfectly, but the people he arranged, including A-Yue, were only two.
So be it! If the two ladies are happy, what's so difficult about training new people?
However, there were one or two problems among them, and he needed to find an excuse to drag them down.
To avoid his wife overthinking things and harming her health if she found out.
After dealing with the servants, Zhen Wanwan, taking advantage of the early hour, asked Zhu Yuan to go out to the street with her.
She was disturbed while shopping last time, so she wasn't in the mood to stroll around. She has to make up for it today.
