"I see……"
Su Li did not mention buying him. After all, this was reality. Who would want to buy a slave with disabled legs who needed someone to take care of him? She was not so saintly as to say that, but she was willing to give him some money to help him.
Just as he was thinking this, Xiao Sanzi brought more than twenty people into the yard.
Manager Wang asked them to join the people who were already in the courtyard, and then asked the men and women to stand on each side, and then they were arranged into two rows in order of height. Su Li estimated that there were about fifty or sixty male and female slaves here.
Mrs. Wang said, "Madam Su, all the recent anger is here. Would you like to pick one?"
Su Li nodded and walked towards the female slaves. Comparing the two sides, it was obvious that there were more female slaves.
She first glanced at the front row, then asked directly, "Does anyone here know how to cook? They need to know how to cook both southern and northern dishes, and they need to cook them deliciously."
Whether in her previous life or now, she is from the south. When it comes to food, she prefers southern dishes with a sweeter taste. When eating at Mingyue Restaurant, she also tends to order sweet dishes.
But she found that Pei Ji seemed to like both sweet and spicy food.
"I!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a person came out from the back row. She looked to be a woman of about 26 or 27 years old, with a simple and neat bun and a fair complexion.
"Madam, I, your servant, can cook both southern and northern dishes, and I can also make many kinds of snacks."
Su Li was a little surprised. Most of the female slaves here were under fourteen or fifteen years old. She was in the back row, and she hadn't noticed her just now.
She can cook southern and northern dishes, as well as snacks, and has a clean appearance. She is actually very satisfied with him, but it is strange that new slaves are usually not so old.
Just as she was about to ask, Mrs. Wang beside her explained, "This slave girl's name is Zhang Cuihong. She's been married for seven years and has been homeless. She was divorced by her husband, and her brother from her natal family didn't accept her. Later, her ex-husband repeatedly harassed her, even beating and scolding her. She had no choice but to sell herself into slavery..."
Su Li looked at Zhang Hong, and as if to verify what Wang Po said, she lowered her head.
She didn't want to be unable to have children, and it wasn't her fault. But no matter where she went, she would be pointed at and talked about. Those people would say she was a hen that didn't lay eggs, and they thought it was all her fault. Moreover, many customers who came to find a partner, when they heard that she was divorced because she couldn't have children, thought she was unlucky and refused to take her.
If she continues like this, she will be sold to do the hardest labor, and she doesn't want to...
Su Li didn't have such feudal ideas. As long as the person had good character and met the requirements, it would be fine. "Okay, if you can cook and make snacks, I'll take you."
The good news came so suddenly that Zhang Cuihong was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. She bowed repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!"
Then Su Li continued to look at people. This time she did not ask directly, but looked at their appearance first. She wanted to find two personal maids for herself, so first of all, they had to be compatible with each other, and secondly, they had to be smart.
After looking around, I found one that I liked. She was a female slave about thirteen or fourteen years old. She had a fair, round face and was very pleasing. She smiled when she looked at me, and her big eyes were very lively, making her look smart.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"My dear Madam, this servant is Xiaowu."
"Xiaowu?"
Why is it her again? Mrs. Wang was worried again. It was obvious that the lady had no intention of buying Xiao Sanzi and his two siblings. So she laughed dryly and said, "Madam Su, this Xiao Wu is Xiao Sanzi's sister, hehe..."
As he said this, he looked in the direction of Xiao Sanzi.
"Oh?" Su Li was a little amused. After looking around, she fell in love with the brother and sister who she had not planned to buy.
Xiaowu and Xiaosanzi who was named were a little disappointed. It seemed that the lady had originally liked them, but did not want them anymore because of her brother.
But his brother had been both their father and their mother since they were young. It was because of them that he became like this. How could they abandon him? Were they still human? Absolutely not!
Xiaowu was a little disappointed and lowered his head.
Su Li followed Wang Po's gaze and looked at Xiao Sanzi. When he met her eyes, he pursed his lips, bowed slightly to her, and then lowered his head slightly.
Su Li was conflicted. Not only were these two siblings good-looking and pleasing to her eye, they were also quite clever. The third child, in particular, looked like someone who was suitable for running errands for her and was also reliable.
She walked to the male slaves and looked at the other male slaves. One of them was not bad, but she still felt that Xiao Sanzi was better.
Forget it, it’s just one more person to support. She is not short of money and will earn more in the future. She can’t throw away the watermelon for the sesame seeds.
So I chose the one that looked good and asked, "What's your name and how old are you?"
"Madam, this is the servant Ma Afu."
"Okay." Su Li looked at Mrs. Wang, "Mrs. Wang, it's him."
Then he added: "There are also three brothers and sisters of Xiao Sanzi."
"What?" Mrs. Wang and Shopkeeper Wang were caught off guard and thought they had misheard. "You want all three of Xiao Sanzi's brothers and sisters?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sanzi and his sister quickly looked up at Su Li, their eyes sparkling. She had just said that she wanted to buy the three of them!
They don't have to be sold! The three siblings don't have to be separated anymore, they can be with their brother!
"Yes, we need a few of them."
"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Wang smiled. Several "stubborn buyers" in the pawnshop were finally sold.
The brother and sister hurried out of the group and bowed, "Thank you, Madam!"
From now on, they must be loyal to the lady!
Su Li smiled and nodded slightly.
Shopkeeper Wang said happily, "Then shall we go to the front hall and get the indentures for these people?"
"Okay." After telling Mrs. Wang that his carriage was outside the door, Su Li followed Manager Wang back to the front hall of the pawnshop.
Mrs. Wang asked a few people to go back and pack their luggage, and then arranged for someone to carry Xiaowu's brother to Su Li's carriage outside the door.
Su Li paid some money and took a look at the deeds of several people. Coincidentally, Xiao Sanzi's brothers and sisters also had the surname Su, Su Er, Su San, and Su Xiaowu.
Tsk!
The name was chosen so casually that just now in the yard, she thought it was their nickname.
After folding the indenture and putting it into the box provided by the pawnbroker, Xiao Sanzi and his companions came out, each carrying a bag. Also coming out was Xiao Sanzi's brother Su Er, who was carried on the back of a tall man.
Su Er politely requested the person carrying him to stop in front of Su Li and greet her: "The servant Su Er greets the Madam."
The three brothers and sisters of Xiao Sanzi all have pretty looks, especially Su Er. Perhaps because he is older and more mature, he looks even better than his two younger siblings, and he even has a faint scholarly air about him.
"Can you read?" she asked curiously.
