Chapter 274 Moving
Since he had been detoxified and had taken good care of his body, Pei Ji had lost his previous haggard appearance and seemed to have become the Lord Pei who was the most famous in the capital again.
She was wearing a moon-white robe, and as she got closer, the scent of cedar lingered at her nose. The most terrible thing was that Pei Ji always looked at her with a smile that was so gentle that it could drown people. Song Ci's cheeks turned red.
Just ask yourself, who wouldn’t feel shy when being looked at by such a handsome face?
"I won't bother you. Come anytime if you need anything."
Ah Lin felt that he couldn't bear to watch, so he simply turned away and pretended not to know him. Where did the young man who used to be like a noble and bright moon hanging in the sky go? Is there anyone who can tell him?
Song Ci nodded and said, "I came here today because I really have something to ask you."
After saying that, he explained his plan to buy someone and stated his requirements.
"That's not difficult. Ah Lin, you know a lot of people, so you know where to find some human traffickers."
Ah Lin: "There are three traffickers in Beijing who are well-known for their reputation. The servants they sell are all clean and have no stains on their hands and feet."
That is, they didn't make any mistakes and were kicked out, so they were sold again.
"Compared to other brokers, their fees are slightly higher. But it's worth it. If there's any problem with the servants they sell, these brokers will help to deal with it. I suggest Miss Song buy from them, so you can be assured of the servants."
"Okay, I trust A-Lin's words, let's do it."
"Since Miss Song thinks it's feasible, I'll send someone to tell those brokers, Miss Song's house is in the north of the city? Then let's find Chengbai's Big Gold Tooth."
Big Gold Teeth? That's a strange name.
A Lin briefly explained how to choose. When Song Ci said it would be best to buy two families, he appreciated it very much. "Miss Song, this is a good idea. Buying two families can balance each other. Besides, if the whole family works in the house, it will prevent anyone from having bad intentions."
It would be inappropriate for the servants in a house to be related to the servants of other families and say anything casually, revealing the master's privacy.
Buying a house directly like this greatly eliminates this possibility.
After the conversation, Alin had a new impression of Song Ci. He used to think that Miss Song was smart, had medical skills, and knew a little bit about how to manipulate people's hearts. It turned out that the housekeeper was also a good hand. When he thought about it carefully, wasn't she better than the lady introduced before?
Do they know how to be a doctor? Do they know how to fight against the enemy? Do they know how to make money?
Miss Song knows it all. With this in mind, he suddenly didn't want to admit it. It would be difficult for him to find another lady like her in Beijing even if he searched with a lantern!
I made money!
Although the young master is good at manipulating people's hearts, he never understands that money makes money. The money he has saved over the years is exactly how much it was originally.
It will definitely be very different when Miss Song comes in!
To make things clear, the next day Song Ci met Da Jin Ya accompanied by Wan Xiang and Tian Er.
Big Gold Tooth lives up to his name, one of his front teeth is gold, and he always smiles when he sees people.
"Miss, the masters have instructed us to serve you well today."
Song Ci nodded and stated her requirements. Da Jin Ya thought for a moment and said, "I do have two suitable ones, but..."
"Just something."
"Don't worry, miss. There is nothing wrong with this person. It's just that there are more people in his family, and there are three little kids. They are young and can only do limited things." Da Jin Ya thought that Song Ci had misunderstood this person's problem and hurried to explain.
"As long as there's nothing wrong with the person, it's fine. How many people are there in this family?"
"This family's surname is Qing. The eldest son is Qing and his wife is Qing. Their eldest son is sixteen years old this year and can help with the work. They also have two sons and a daughter, all of whom are only eight or nine years old. The oldest is eleven years old." Big Gold Tooth said while looking at Song Ci's expression.
The family had been in his hands for quite some time, but he had been unable to sell the three young ones.
"No problem, I want this family." Song Ci made the decision readily.
There aren't many people in the family, so the younger ones can help with cleaning and serving tea and water, which won't be a problem.
"The other family's surname is Lin. There are four of them. The youngest daughter is thirteen years old. They are all good workers."
After explaining the situation clearly, Song Ci asked directly about the price.
Da Jin Ya was also straightforward and said directly: "The master has instructed me to give you the final price. There are two families. The Qing family will pay a total of 25 taels, and the Lin family will pay 30 taels."
Fifty-five in total.
Song Ci looked at it carefully for a while, confirmed that Da Jin Ya was not talking nonsense, and agreed.
"Just send them directly to the house in the north of the city and let them settle down first. I'll arrange for them to work later."
"Oh, I have three taels of silver here. Let them make a set of clothes."
Da Jin Ya took the money quickly and said, "Miss Song is kind-hearted. You can trust me when I do things. These people are all clean and efficient."
The two parties reached an agreement, but Wanxiang felt a little listless on the way back in the carriage.
Song Ci gave her a strange look and said, "Who offended you? You can hang a kettle from your mouth."
Wanxiang pouted and said, "Miss, you hired so many people. Aren't Tian'er and I enough to serve you?"
So she was jealous! Tian'er hid her smile, and she was a little envious of Wanxiang's quick words and outspokenness, and the fact that she could talk to her master so intimately.
"Don't worry, when these people arrive in the future, you'll need to train them well and lead them in their work. The house will be bigger in the future, and I can't let you do everything. I can't bear to let you do it. Just let them help you."
Wanxiang was delighted when she heard this, "Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely train him well for you. With me watching over him, there will definitely be no problems."
It only took a few moves to coax Wanxiang into submission, making her smile from ear to ear. Tian'er exclaimed that the young lady was truly amazing.
On the day of the official move, someone should have come to see them off, but the Song family had already split up, and the other people had no feelings for the third branch, so Song Lao San was already prepared for this.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Song Lao Er, who had not been seen for a long time, coming to greet him. His tone was unusually gentle, "I heard that you were moving out today, but you didn't tell me. If I hadn't known, I would have missed it."
Song Lao San looked at him in surprise and said in a cold tone, "If we have a close relationship, we naturally don't care whether we move or not. Just come and visit often."
These words made Song Lao Er's smile fade a little.
Song Yong's eyes were glued to Song Ci after she appeared. Song Ci frowned, as she had not forgotten how she had been harmed by him. Now that the first room had been cleaned up, it was the second room's turn.
Song Yong didn't know what Song Ci was thinking, but he felt his whole body burning with heat just by being looked at by her.
The person who used to ignore him finally looked at him in the eye.
