Chapter 55 It’s Dad and Brother
As soon as I walked in, I saw many slaves locked in cages, completely devoid of dignity. Each one was chained, staring blankly out of the cage.
There are also smart ones who will look at the buyer and if they think the buyer looks friendly, they will take a gamble and sell themselves.
As Ye Qiaoqiao and Li Ruanruan walked along, many people stretched their hands out of the cage:
"Sir, please buy me. I'm very strong."
"Master, please buy me. I can do any job."
"Buy me. I'm clean."
“Buy me…”
Li Ruanruan looked at their eager eyes, forced herself to look away from them, and began to choose the right candidate.
But it’s so hard to choose.
An Qi was more experienced and said to Li Ruan Ruan, "You should tell the trafficker what you need and ask him to send the right person for you to choose. This way it will be more efficient."
Then An Qi was so cold-blooded and ruthless that he scolded the people around him: "Stop arguing!"
Suddenly the surroundings became quiet, and the servants huddled together and dared not say a word.
Li Runrun thought about it and decided that Anqi's method was feasible, so she nodded.
An Qi waved his hand, and the human traffickers came forward and led them to a private room.
Ye Qiaoqiao discussed with Li Ruanruan: "What should we say?"
"You want someone who's handy?"
"Age 14 to 20, clean past, preferably a disaster victim?"
Li Ruanruan thought for a moment and said, "The age range should be expanded a bit, maybe 14 to 30 years old."
“Will it be too big?”
"Some women whose husbands have died and have no one to rely on will need this opportunity even more, and they will work harder."
Ye Qiaoqiao thought about it and nodded.
Then he turned around and told the human trafficker the conditions.
After a while, the human traffickers selected the people and they stood in two rows for people to choose.
Li Runrun picked the one she liked and went up to ask about the family situation.
Finally, it was decided to buy twenty people. Ten of them were extremely hard-working women whose families had fallen on hardship, whose husbands had starved to death or were killed by bandits on the road, and the remaining ten were young.
They all have good basic embroidery skills. These twenty people have been selected for the time being, and they will be carefully screened one by one. Those who are not selected will be assigned to do some rough work.
It was An Qi who negotiated the price with the human trafficker. He might have used some intimidation, but the price was still slightly more favorable than the market price.
The human traffickers presented the indentures for sale.
Li Ruanruan was ready to leave.
Just then, she heard a noise outside. Li Runrun didn't know if she was hallucinating, but she actually heard the voice of the prince.
"search!"
An Qi's hearing was better than Li Ruanruan's, so he immediately said, "It's the prince."
Li Runrun opened the door and really saw Ye Yunchu standing there with great momentum. A group of people from the dental clinic were kneeling around him, and no one dared to stand up without his order.
Ye Qiaoqiao also carefully stuck her head out to see: "Big Brother, are you on errand? This is the first time I've seen such a big event."
Li Ruoruan nodded, it was indeed very majestic.
Ye Qiaoqiao whispered again, jokingly: "Should we go over and greet Big Brother?"
At this time, An Ba, who was standing next to Ye Yunchu, had already noticed An Qi.
So An Ba came forward and whispered a few words in Ye Yunchu's ear.
Ye Yunchu looked towards Li Ruanruan and waved, "Come here."
Because they were far away and the surroundings were noisy, Li Runrun didn't hear anything, but she guessed from the shape of his lips that he was calling her over.
So he said to Ye Qiaoqiao, "Then let's go over and pay our respects."
So the two people came in front of Ye Yunchu.
Ye Yunchu glanced at Ye Qiaoqiao's men's attire and frowned.
Ye Qiaoqiao felt an inexplicable chill on the back of her neck and quickly bowed, "Hello, big brother."
She then explained, "The Suzhou embroidery shop is short of workers. I heard Yunzhou was hit by a disaster, so the embroidery shops have lowered their prices. Ruanruan and I are here to buy some embroiderers."
Ye Yunchu was not polite at all: "I'm telling you to save your money. Now that you know Yunzhou is in trouble, you are only thinking about making a profit. Why don't you use your brain to think about whether the pawnshop is in chaos right now?"
Ye Qiaoqiao was scolded so hard that she didn't even dare to breathe.
Ye Yunchu scolded again: "When did you become so short-sighted? Why don't you get off now?"
"yes."
Ye Qiaoqiao hurriedly tugged at Li Ruanruan's sleeve, wanting to leave quickly so as not to upset Ye Yunchu.
The prince is no joke when he gets angry.
Although Ye Yunchu didn't scold her, Li Runrun still shrank her neck and wished she could run away with Ye Qiaoqiao.
She turned around and was about to run, but the prince grabbed her sleeve and said, "Are you allowed to leave? Stand here."
Li's neck was stiff and soft, and she didn't dare to move.
Ye Qiaoqiao wanted to save her but she was no match for the prince, so she could only disappear from under his nose in shame.
An Qi stood behind Ye Yunchu. An Ba gave him a smug look, and An Qi's sword was quietly unsheathed.
An Ba became obedient again, then gave An Qi a look, and the two of them stepped back a little.
Ye Yunchu tugged at Li Ruanruan's sleeve, pulled her in front of him and looked at her closely, his voice half-smiling, "What a handsome young man."
Li Ruanruan: “........”
Why didn’t he just scold her? Why was the script different from the one Ye Qiaoqiao had?
What a handsome...young man.
What is it.
Li Ruoruan lowered her head, not daring to look at the prince's face.
After a long pause, he replied, "Not even half as good as the prince."
Ye Yunchu chuckled, then grabbed Li Ruanruan's wrist and pulled her into his arms.
You can still tease him now, but he will start crying the next moment, and I don’t know how many days he will cry.
Wait until her injured father and brother are found.
Ye Yunchu pinched Li Ruannuan's chin and said, "You are dressed so handsomely, are you here to buy a wife?"
"Embroiderer."
"How much silver did it cost?"
"It was the money spent by the Second Miss."
"You didn't spend money to buy someone? Why are you so guilty that you dare not look at me?"
This was meant to tease her and make her laugh because she didn't dare to look at him.
But Li Ruanruan heard it in her soft ears.
Li Runrun clenched her fingers, thinking that maybe the prince really could read minds.
Otherwise, how would we know that she brought ten taels of silver with her when she went out today?
Li Runrun took out a purse from her sleeve, then grabbed Ye Yunchu's hand and put the heavy purse in his hand.
Ye Yunchu weighed it and said, "Oh, it seems that he really bought someone and took out all his private money."
He poured out the silver, a few pieces of change, returned the purse to her, and put the silver into his own purse.
Li Runrun watched his actions and didn't dare to say anything. After all, she had given him the money and still had some pocket money.
But Ye Yunchu said, "You think you can bribe me with this little money? That's too cheap. Xiao Ruanruan, you better think about how to thank me properly."
He raised his hand and pinched her tender little face.
Then someone below reported, "Master, we've found him. Can you bring him over?"
Ye Yunchu nodded.
Li Runrun didn't dare to look around, but still glanced at it curiously out of the corner of her eye, and then her whole body froze.
She rushed over: "Dad, brother!"
