Hou Wu found an open space for the two men, and with Duan Yidao as the referee, the two, one big and one small, started fighting with bare hands.
The young man was agile, while the middle-aged man was steady and cautious. Song Yuehua didn't quite understand, but she felt that the middle-aged man beat the young man everywhere, and she felt secretly happy.
The next moment, the young man turned over and sat on the middle-aged man's shoulder, with his fist against the middle-aged man's temple.
Song Yuehua, "..."
He looked at Duan Yidao helplessly, and then Duan Yidao wiped his mouth and said, "What's wrong? Is there any egg yolk from the breakfast on the corner of your mouth?"
Song Yuehua didn't bother to pay attention to him, and saw Hou Wu coming over and asked, "What do you think, Miss Song?"
"Just the two of them!" Song Yuehua said.
Hou Wuxi asked, "Do you want both of them?"
Song Yuehua nodded. She had originally planned to buy only one, but now that she thought about it, she didn't mind buying one more person. More people meant more choices. Safety was more important than money.
The total amount for the two of them was 30 taels of silver.
Song Yuehua thought the price had gone up, but Hou Wu explained in a low voice, "Young and middle-aged people can do more work, so naturally they are more expensive."
The younger man's clothes were torn, revealing his entire back. Seeing the young man's embarrassed look, Song Yuehua asked Hou Wu to find him some clothes to change.
Hou Wu took the master to the backyard to change clothes, while Song Yuehua and Duan Yidao sat in the front hall waiting.
Song Yuehua was very familiar with the front hall.
I remember that I had been sitting here for a month or so. I originally wanted to recruit teachers, but in the end I didn't like any of them. It was Hou Wu who led me to snatch people away, and finally I got Master Yi and Master Duan.
Just when Song Yuehua was about to tell Master Duan about this past event, she heard a quarrel outside.
Song Yuehua and Duan Yidao looked at each other, and they both looked out the door tacitly.
An old man said angrily, "How can my yard not be worth 200 taels? Are you trying to lower my price just because I am in a hurry to sell it?"
The broker opposite said, "How can you think like that? I also quoted you the price according to the customer's offer."
"Then let me talk to the guest face to face!" The old man was so anxious that his beard almost stood up.
The dealer said, "There is no such saying. Otherwise, why would you go to a dealer? Don't you agree?"
The old man got even angrier. "Do you think I've never been to a dentist before and don't know anything? I want to change the dentist now!"
"Please sit down and calm down," the broker on the other side advised kindly, "It's not that I don't want to see you, it's that the buyer doesn't want to see you."
The old man brushed the man away and said angrily, "I'll give you three more days. If it doesn't work out, you don't have to do business with me anymore."
After the old man left, the man with the tooth made a "pah" sound.
Song Yuehua could roughly guess what was going on. Although she couldn't understand why this broker was so rampant, she felt that this corner could be pried open.
So he whispered to Duan Yidao to catch up with the old man and find out what was going on.
Here, Hou Wu found an old piece of clothing for the young man to change into, and then took a few people to the county government to apply for a physical indenture.
After entering the yamen, Hou Wu was very familiar with the procedure and quickly handed the completed indenture to Song Yuehua. He said a few flattering words before leaving.
The three of them were waiting for Duan Yidao at the city gate.
Song Yuehua just wanted to ask about the two people's life experiences.
The middle-aged man was named Wei Da, in his thirties. He used to work as a security guard in a wealthy family. Later, an accident happened in the wealthy family, and he was sold to a pawnbroker.
The twelve-year-old boy was named Pei Feng. His family originally ran a martial arts school. Later, his father became addicted to gambling and sold all the family properties but still could not pay off the debts. His mother hanged herself in anger, and he was also sold by the creditor to pay off the debts.
Song Yuehua nodded without saying anything.
It was a long time before Duan Yidao came back.
It turned out that the old man's surname was You, and he was a servant of a You family. His master had studied in this county and his family was wealthy, so he bought a courtyard in the county. However, he had not been on the list for many years, so he returned to his hometown in anger.
So, Old Man You stayed to guard this courtyard.
Since last year, Old Man You felt something was wrong. There was no rain and the price of rice was rising. He wrote a letter and sent it to the owner of the house. The owner replied, asking him to sell the house as soon as possible and return to Yunmengzhou.
Old Man You couldn't wait and rushed to the brokerage firm to list his yard. He dreamed of returning to Yunmengzhou and reuniting with his family.
But the yard had been on the market for more than three months, and the dealer tried to lower his price many times and did not allow the buyer to meet him. Old Man You then thought about changing dealers, but who knew that he could not change anymore.
The rule of the dental clinic is that once one store is listed, a second store is not allowed to list unless the dental clinic removes its sign.
The broker obviously knew that Mr. You was anxious to go home, so he wanted to bargain down the price of the yard.
It was still early, and Song Yuehua wanted to go to the yard to take a look.
Led by Duan Yidao, the four arrived at the gate of You Mansion.
The one who came to respond was the old man just now.
When Old Man You saw Duan Yidao coming with a few others, he hurried forward, bowed and spoke, and led them in.
Pushing open two heavy wooden doors, there is a quadrangle with two courtyards. It is not very big overall, but it has blue bricks and black tiles, flying eaves and pointed corners. The sunlight shines on the bluestone bricks in the courtyard, through the leaves and through the corridors, making the whole place look simple and elegant.
Song Yuehua's heart was shaken. This courtyard was like an ancient bell in a temple, making people feel dazed.
After looking around, Song Yuehua asked, "What's the lowest price you'd sell this yard for?"
Old You sighed and said, "I've really had enough of this. The minimum price is 200 taels. If you think it's okay, then we can make the deal. If not, just leave!"
Before, Song Yuehua asked Hou Wu about the price of houses in the county. The 200 taels that Old Man You offered was definitely not expensive. There was no need to make any other plans. As long as it was put up for sale, it could definitely be sold for 300 taels.
All in all, she was lucky this time.
Song Yuehua said, "I accept the price. Let's exchange the money and the contract tomorrow. What do you think?"
You Lao originally had no hope, but when he heard what Song Yuehua said, he was immediately delighted and hurriedly asked, "Is your home far from here? If you don't mind, I have a carriage to take you back."
Song Yuehua knew that Old You was afraid that she would run away, so she just said, "My family lives in Taoyuan Village. If you don't mind the long journey, you can go with me."
Old Man You immediately harnessed the carriage and sent the four people back home.
After getting off the car, Old Man You glanced at the Song family without saying much, and only said that he would come to pick up Song Yuehua tomorrow.
"It's troublesome for you to travel back and forth. I will go there earlier tomorrow." Song Yuehua said.
Old Man You laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
After saying this, he turned his horse around and left.
Song Yuehua, "..."
Wei Da and Pei Feng, who had just landed, only took one look at the Song family's house, then lowered their heads and did not dare to look at it a second time.
Song Yuehua said, "Master Duan, take them to Dongshan first, have them take a good bath, change their clothes, and practice martial arts with you first."
Put these two people in Dongshan, let them learn martial arts and observe them, and then decide which one to send to Qingzhou.
