Tang Youyou was slightly surprised and looked at Big Teeth, who whispered, "The two behind are from high-ranking officials. Because they look rough, so..."
"Can you let them show you a few tricks?"
Big Teeth shook his head slightly, "My Lady, according to the rules of the brothel, the bracelets and anklets can only be removed after the martial artist has sold them. This is for everyone's safety! If you trust me, just buy them back. They are absolutely worth the money!"
Tang Youyou nodded slightly, "Let's take a look at the housekeeper first? Please recommend her to me. If she's just a name, I'll have to go to the county magistrate and talk to her!"
Big Teeth smiled slightly, "I am honored to have your trust!"
He then nodded to the four people and waved to the others, and everyone retreated.
Tang Youyou noticed that an old woman looked at Da Banya from time to time, frowning slightly.
"My lady, each of these four housekeepers has his own way!"
"Oh? Please introduce yourselves. What are you good at?"
One of the maids was impatient, but her voice was as sharp as a toad. "Sir, everyone used to call me Aunt Zhang. I used to be in charge of the kitchen! I..."
"That's enough, that's enough, step aside first." Tang Youyou felt like her ears were about to explode.
"My Lord, my name is He Rongcui. I used to work beside the mistress and was responsible for managing the accounts and all expenses of the mansion!"
Tang Youyou: Wow... he's omnipotent?
"My lord, my name is Dingxiang. I used to serve the old lady and was responsible for managing her food, clothing, housing and transportation!"
Her eyes fell on the last old woman, who first glanced at Big Tooth secretly before walking out.
"My lord, my name is Zhou Zhaodi. I used to serve the mistress of the house and was responsible for managing her shop and farm. I was deeply trusted by her!"
"You all can read?"
The four of them nodded.
Tang Youyou looked at Xue'er: "Pick two!"
Xueer pointed to the last and second ones.
She shook her head slightly, "You kid, have you forgotten that she has the same name as your aunt? Not good! Not good!"
Xue'er was stunned, muttering to herself: "Isn't my aunt Liao Cui'e? Who has the same name as me? No one? There must be a reason why my mother said that!"
Tang Youyou pointed at the second and third ones, "Just you two!"
The two were ecstatic and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Master!"
Mrs. He: I just heard the agent call her "Ruren"? Could she be the "Lady of Imperial Concubine"?
Mrs. Ding: This lady has an upright back, clear eyes, and speaks in a sonorous and powerful voice. She is a good master!
"How much silver?"
A hint of barely perceptible annoyance flashed across Big Tooth's eyes, but the moment he raised his head he smiled again.
"My dear, these people you asked for are a bit expensive. However, since you are an old customer, I will give you a discount. The two housekeepers are 40 taels each, and the four maids are 50 taels each!"
"Two hundred and eighty taels? That's too expensive. I'll give you two hundred taels!"
"Oh my... Auntie, this is a business, you can't let me lose money!"
"Last time I bought six people and it only cost me 160 taels. Today, it's the same for six people, and I paid 20 taels more!"
Big Teeth was at a loss for words, "My Lady, you can't say that. The one you bought last time is different from the one you bought this time!"
"Stop talking nonsense and give me a definite answer. If it works, I'll take you away. If not, I'll think about it again!"
"At least two hundred and sixty taels!"
"Two hundred and twenty taels is already my limit. To be honest, this is all the silver I have! Not a penny more!"
Seeing that the other party's tone was very firm, Big Teeth was embarrassed and hesitated.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou stood up and prepared to leave with Xue'er.
He quickly blocked the way and slapped his thigh, "Oh, Auntie, I'm really scared of you. This price is only available once, please don't tell anyone!"
He quickly signed the contract and took his men out for a short while when he ran into a yamen runner.
"Mrs. Tang, the county magistrate invites you."
Tang Youyou raised an eyebrow and looked at Dazhuang who was driving the carriage, "Take them back first!"
Here, the county magistrate has been waiting for a long time.
"grown ups!"
"Mrs. Tang!"
The other person took out a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to her. She was puzzled, and after a while, her face was shocked.
"Sir, this..."
The other party nodded, then took the paper and opened the fire. In an instant, the paper burned out.
"Mrs. Tang, this matter is of great importance. I need your help!"
Tang Youyou was very annoyed: Why was he suddenly involved in a court struggle?
What bad luck!
However, this matter is related to the prefect. If I participate in it, I can also gain the prefect's favor!
In the future, my shops will have a backer!
She made a decisive decision: "Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. I am a concubine appointed by the Emperor himself. It is a great honor to serve him."
Magistrate Zhang glanced at her with admiration, "As expected of a lady appointed personally by the Emperor, Lady Tang is so generous. Please accept my respect!"
"Oh... Sir, absolutely not. You are doing this for the people. I have heard a little about that person's affairs, but I don't know what I should do."
"To be honest, some of us discovered that the man has spies in the Qiren Yahang, so we guessed that the place must be in our Qingshui County!"
Tang Youyou frowned, "Sir, the land in Qingshui County has always been managed by Leng Zhubu..."
Magistrate Zhang raised his hand slightly and shook his head at her.
"My lady, I don't even dare to trust anyone in the county government office these days!"
Tang Youyou's eyes widened as she thought of something, "Could it be Leng Zhubu?"
County Magistrate Zhang shook his head. "It's unknown at the moment, but one of Chief Clerk Leng and County Magistrate Tong must be his man, or at least be involved in this matter!"
