Song Yuehua acted faster than her brain. When she reached the riverside and saw a group of tied people coming off the boat, she realized that she was actually buying people.
Seeing that the broker next to him was coming over, Hou Wu quickly shouted to the crowd.
"Those who have achievements, please stand up. This girl wants to choose a master!"
All those who were sold became slaves. It was good enough if they were not tortured to death. It was unexpected that they could become teachers.
Several people suddenly jumped out from the crowd, and Hou Wu quickly took this group of people aside.
Song Yuehua declared, "If anyone dares to cheat, they will be sold out again regardless of whether it is useful or not."
Several people retreated quietly.
Those who stayed behind included two scholars, a juren, and a scarred man with no official title.
Song Yuehua looked at Scarface speechlessly, "Didn't you hear what I just said?"
"I heard it clearly!"
Scarface said, "You only said you were looking for a teacher, but you didn't say whether it was a literary teacher or a martial teacher. Doesn't it mean that I, the third place in the imperial examination, can't be considered an honor?"
"You are the third place in the imperial examination?" Song Yuehua asked in surprise.
Scarface chuckled and said, "Martial!"
That's also impressive. Song Yuehua asked again, "What did you do?"
Scar's eyebrows glared, then drooped, and he said in a muffled voice, "I didn't do anything wrong. My boss offended someone and asked me to take the blame."
Song Yuehua had a hunch that this guy was good, so she said to Scarface, "I want you!"
"Be a teacher?"
"Be a teacher."
After getting the affirmation, Scarface looked relieved, and the people around him were extremely envious.
At this time, the old scholar shouted, "I used to be an editor in the Hanlin Academy. Girl, do you think I can do it?"
The two scholars who were not officials also shouted, "I am a scholar, if the lady chooses me, I will never let her down in my life."
Song Yuehua: "..." I'm looking for a teacher, not a partner.
She asked the old scholar, "What did you do wrong?"
The old scholar said indignantly, "I have been honest all my life. I am just a small editor with no power or influence. I am suffering this time because I was implicated by others."
Song Yuehua glanced in the direction of the young scholar, who quickly wiped his face and tried his best to show off his handsome appearance.
At this moment, the crying of the old scholar next to him suddenly became louder.
Song Yuehua looked at the old scholar with disdain and said, "Stop crying, it's you!"
The two scholars couldn't believe that she actually chose an old man, and asked unwillingly, "Girl, why did you choose this old man instead of us?"
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "I just like older people."
Scholar, old scholar, "..."
After Song Yuehua selected the person, she was about to take him away.
The old scholar suddenly plodded to his knees in front of Song Yuehua, kowtowed heavily, and said in a sad voice.
"It is my great fortune to be able to go with you, young lady, but my wife is still here. Please take pity on me and take her with you. We, your wife and I, have been your slaves for a lifetime, and I am forever grateful!"
The scholar, who was originally disheartened, felt that his chance had come again.
No matter how you think about it, two young and handsome scholars are more cost-effective than an old man and an old woman.
Just as the scholar was about to speak, Song Yuehua had already nodded, "Then take it with you."
The two scholars: "…" You really don't give me any chance at all!
The old scholar's name was Yi Shuihan, and his wife was Xia Manchun, a very dignified woman.
Despite her dire situation, her every move and gesture exuded elegance.
When she saw the name of the man with the scar, Song Yuehua looked up at him.
Duan Yidao, as his name suggests, is a man who fits the temperament of a scarred man.
Three people, a total of 25 taels of silver. Until the indenture was completed, Song Yuehua's heart was still aching.
Several of them didn't even have a change of clothes, so Song Yuehua went to the cloth shop and bought one roll of cotton cloth and two rolls of coarse cloth, spending another two taels of silver.
After paying the bill, I felt numb.
Despite this, Song Yuehua still chartered a carriage and sent them home under the cover of night.
The school is still being whitewashed and is not open to residents for the next few days.
Song Yuehua first arranged for the three of them to take a bath, and then called several people from her family and introduced them one by one.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu greeted Mr. Yi and his wife politely.
When it was Duan Yidao's turn, the two little girls were frightened by the scar on his face. Xiaoyu stood in front of Xiaoyu and shouted stutteringly.
Xie Wenwu was very brave. Before he could say a few words to Duan Yidao, he started calling him "Master, Master".
As expected of her disciple, Song Yuehua praised.
Song Yuehua and Xie Wenwu cooked dinner together.
Taking into account that the few people have not had a proper meal in the past few days, light dishes were prepared.
Tofu fish soup, stir-fried choy sum, pearl glutinous rice meatballs, steamed egg custard, cold vermicelli, seaweed and pork ribs soup, and a bowl of dry rice for each person.
Looking at the table full of food, the three of them were stunned.
After entering this farmyard, I no longer expected to taste meat and only eat dry rice.
As a result, they had such a sumptuous meal on the first day. This was not treating them as slaves at all.
Not only the Juren couple were moved to tears of gratitude, but even Duan Yidao was crying while eating his meal. It was just a very pretty scene.
After dinner, Mr. Yi and his wife slept in a room with a kang, while Duan Yidao and Xie Wenwu slept in the firewood room.
After the Master's matter was settled, Song Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief.
She also gave a lot of thought to the enrollment issue. Although she didn't expect to make money from it, she had to at least balance the income and expenditure.
Now she has 13 taels of silver left. Before building the house, she ordered 12 sets of saddle tables, a set of customized teaching tables, a set of desks, and a bookshelf from the carpenter.
Since he is an old customer and a big customer, I naturally cannot charge him less, a total of 5 taels of silver.
