Chapter 256: Buying people from a pawnshop.
After coming out of Yanyi Pavilion, Xu Zhiyi planned to go to the dental clinic.
After entering the dental shop, Xu Zhiyi looked around. The dental agent saw Xu Zhiyi and hurried over to ask, "Miss, do you want to buy a person, or buy, sell, or rent a house?"
Xu Zhiyi: “Buying People”
The toothbrush: "Any requests?"
Xu Zhiyi: "I plan to hire four people, two of whom can cook, one who can drive a car, and the remaining one to do odd jobs, and also to sign a death deed."
"Okay, wait here for a moment, I'll arrange it for you right away," the matchmaker said and went into the house.
About a quarter of an hour later, the matchmaker came out of the house with ten people and came in front of Xu Zhiyi, asking them to line up in a row, five women and five men.
The matchmaker said: "Girl, the four people on the right can cook. As for driving the carriage, the men in line here can do it!"
Xu Zhiyi nodded, then looked to the right at the four people who could cook: a woman about thirty-seven years old, a round-faced girl who looked to be in her twenties, and the remaining two men, one tall and thin, the other who looked relatively sturdy.
After carefully observing the hands of the four people, he finally chose the round-faced girl and a relatively sturdy man.
When the two heard that Xu Zhiyi had chosen them, they knelt down to thank him and breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Zhiyi looked at their performance, raised his eyebrows, and then called them up.
As for the rest, Xu Zhiyi asked each of them a few questions and finally chose two girls who looked okay. These two girls were better than the others in conversation and etiquette.
Xu Zhiyi: "How much silver did these four people get?"
The matchmaker said: "Miss, if it's a death contract, I'll charge eight taels of silver per person, and five taels of silver for a living contract."
Xu Zhiyi: “Thirty taels of silver”
"Hey, girl, I can't do without this! This was the price I paid them when I first bought them."
"Thirty-one taels, one tael less won't do? Well, let me think about it again!"
Upon hearing this, the matchmaker pretended to be helpless and said, "Well, all right! I'll give you the indentures of these four people." Then she took out a stack of papers and started rummaging through them, pulling out the indentures of four people and handing them to Xu Zhiyi.
Xu Zhiyi took a look and after seeing that there was no problem, he handed the silver to the matchmaker. After both parties were settled, Xu Zhiyi led the four people towards the house.
Just as I walked to the middle of North Street, Li suddenly appeared from nowhere. He looked a little abnormal and was talking nonsense:
"Dead! All dead, haha! Woohoo! Dead!"
"Mom!" Xu Yaoguang rushed over and grabbed Li, then glanced at Xu Zhiyi with a look full of blame in his eyes.
"Manager Xu, my father and third uncle were beheaded! There are only four of us left in our family! Are you satisfied?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi frowned and shook his head: "Not satisfied, there are still four left!"
Xu Yaoguang: "You...even if we are not related by blood, we have lived together for more than ten years. Is it necessary to be so heartless?"
"Of course it's necessary! Because you taught me! And you taught me for more than ten years. If I don't have a hard heart, how can I fight against you blood-sucking bloodworms?"
When Xu Yaoguang heard this, he immediately became angry: "Xu Zhiyi, ask yourself, you have been in the Xu family for more than ten years, have I ever made things difficult for you?"
Xu Zhiyi: "You didn't make it difficult! But when the Xu family abused me, you didn't say a word! I have been very kind by not making it difficult for you!"
"But the others have treated me so harshly before. Don't say I can't save them. Even if I could, I would never save them. Not stepping on them when they are down is already a blessing to you!"
"So, don't mess with me, or that kick will land on you too!"
After saying this, without waiting for Xu Yaoguang to reply, he took the four people he had just bought and left.
Li watched Xu Zhiyi leave, and suddenly knelt on the ground, crying: "Daya, save your uncle! Wuuwuwu!"
As he spoke, he screamed again, holding his head with both hands: "He's dead! His head is rolling down! Ah! It's rolling over here! Son!"
Xu Yaoguang quickly helped Li up. Seeing his mother like this, he felt very sad: "Mom, wake up!" Dad is dead!
Xu Zhiyi brought four people to the front of the house. Just as they were about to push the door, it opened by itself. It was Butler Xue!
When Butler Xue saw Xu Zhiyi, he shouted in surprise, "Miss!!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Uncle Xue, why are you here?"
"Oh, Miss, the old lady asked me to prepare and tidy up everything inside and outside the house. Miss, you can come back anytime you want."
"Also, the old lady has sent five maids and servants to you. If you need anything, just tell me. Oh, the old lady has asked me to give you the indentures for the five people."
As Butler Xue spoke, he took out five indentures from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Xu Zhiyi. Then he saw the four people behind him and knew what was going on at a glance, but did not say anything.
After all, this eldest daughter grew up outside and has not lived with the Xue family for long, so it is understandable that she wants to train her own maids. As for the five people given by the old lady, let the eldest daughter arrange them as she pleases!
Manager Xue said, "Miss, the old lady said that the three maids and two servants who can do some martial arts are at your disposal!"
Xu Zhiyi nodded: "Well, thank my grandmother for me!"
"Hey, I will tell you. I'll take my leave now!"
After Manager Xue left, Xu Zhiyi entered the yard, where the five people were standing in a row.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the five people and asked, "Tell me your names! And what are you good at?"
"Meet the young lady!!"
"My servant Haitang is good at pruning potted plants."
"My servant Lanhua is good at dressing up."
"The servant Yue Ji is good at odd jobs."
"My servant likes peace and is good at odd jobs."
"My servant loves money and is good at taking care of the flowers and plants in the garden."
After hearing this, Xu Zhiyi thought for a moment and made arrangements: "Haitang and Xicai will be in charge of the garden! Yueji and Lanhua will be in charge of arranging the food and daily life of the host family. As for Xiping, he will be in charge of the gate and the guard."
"Yes, Miss!"
"Hmm." Then he looked at the four people beside him and said, "What were your original names?"
The four shook their heads and said, "Master, each time we change our host, we have a different name, so, Master, please give us a name."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi touched his chin and thought for a while, then started pointing from the left: "Starting from you, Yun Duo, Yun Yin, Yun Xing, Yun Fu"
"Yunfu and Yunduo are responsible for the three meals a day, and Yunyin and Yunxing are responsible for miscellaneous chores."
"yes"
"There are still rooms available. All of the side rooms in the house can be used. You can arrange to stay there. Two people can stay in one room. If you are single, you can stay there first. Okay! Everyone, go away!"
After Xu Zhiyi dismissed everyone, she started to walk around the house. This was a house with two courtyards. After moving in, she and her two husbands lived in one courtyard, and Su lived in another courtyard.
The yard is quite large, with the master bedroom in the middle. When you push the door open, the first thing you see is the living room for guests. On the right is the bedroom, which is fully furnished. There is also a small door in the bedroom. When you push the door open, you will see a small bathing pool.
After leaving the living room, open the left side and there is also a room, but it is a side room and is relatively small. There is a bed, a wardrobe and a small table in the middle of the room.
The other rooms surround the main courtyard, with a total of seven rooms.
