Before leaving, the man specially served some tea to Lin Jiuyue, hoping that Lin Jiuyue would not be so bored while waiting.
Not long after, the boy came over with a group of people.
"Girl, everyone is here."
Lin Jiuyue put down the teacup in her hand and turned her gaze to the group of people brought by Ya Ren.
There were quite a few people brought here, including men, women, young and old. Lin Jiuyue took a quick look at the group of people in front of him.
"Girl, what kind of people do you want? These people were sent here a few days ago. See if you like them."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
Qiye is not at home. I am alone at home and usually have to go out, so the family needs someone to help look after the house.
I still have some silver on hand and a lot of food in the space. I will open a food shop when the time comes.
If you want to buy people, you have to buy a few capable servants. It would be best if there is an accountant.
"The girl in front of you is here to buy someone today. Everyone, please stand still and let her choose..."
The servant scolded the people in the row behind him. The servants who had been sold into slavery had different expressions after hearing this.
"Girl, you choose."
After the lecture, the boy stood aside, waiting for Lin Jiuyue to choose.
Lin Jiuyue nodded, her eyes sweeping over the people in front of her one by one.
"How about this? Each of you tell me what your specialties are. That way I can choose. I'll start with you."
Lin Jiuyue pointed to the woman in the first row to her right.
The woman saw Lin Jiuyue pointing at her and said it openly.
"Girl, women can cook some home-cooked dishes and do a little needlework."
"Miss, I, I know needlework."
"Girl, I don't have any special skills..."
…
Lin Jiuyue nodded as she listened, taking in the specialties of everyone present.
"Okay, I know everything you're good at."
"You, you, you, and you, please stand up."
Lin Jiuyue casually pointed at a few people in the crowd. Those who were pointed at by Lin Jiuyue stood up happily.
"I don't want the ones who stood up, but I want all the others."
Lin Jiuyue looked very wealthy and powerful, which made the people stunned.
"Girl, you said you don't want these, but you want the others?"
Lin Jiuyue looked at the man in confusion.
"What's wrong? Can't I?"
The man shook his head.
"No, no, it's just that I didn't know the girl was going to hire so many people, and I couldn't believe it for a moment."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
The few people who were called by Lin Jiuyue heard that Lin Jiuyue didn't want them. Their faces turned ugly in an instant.
However, none of them had the guts to ask why. Lin Jiuyue couldn't possibly explain the reason to a group of people who had become mere commodities.
It’s not that I look down on them, but I just think there’s no need to waste time.
"Did you hear that? Except for the few people the girl just pointed out, everyone else should get ready and follow her."
As soon as the man finished speaking, someone else spoke.
"Girl, I, I don't want to go with you."
Lin Jiuyue looked at a woman in the crowd and spoke in confusion.
"Why?"
The woman glanced at one of the girls Lin Jiuyue didn't like. Before she could say anything, the young man got there first.
"Miss, this old woman Wang was originally a nanny in a wealthy family. Because her daughter committed a crime in the master's family, the master was angry and sold her entire family to the brothel. She is really pitiful."
After the man finished speaking, he turned to look at a girl who was not liked by Lin Jiuyue and shook his head.
The woman was a decent person, well-behaved, and had worked as a servant in a wealthy family for many years, so she had seen a lot of the world. However, she was implicated by her useless daughter.
After listening to this, Lin Jiuyue frowned.
Implicated by his own daughter? He's truly a pitiful person.
However, there must be something hateful about pitiful people. If she had educated her daughter well, she might not have been implicated by the master's family.
She didn't want to be bought by me, so I saved myself the trouble.
"That's your daughter next to you, right?"
When the woman saw Lin Jiuyue asking her, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, girl."
"thump!"
After the woman finished speaking, she actually knelt down in front of Lin Jiuyue. The sound was so painful that Lin Jiuyue felt pain.
For Lin Jiuyue, who traveled from the 21st century, this was the first time someone knelt down to him.
"What are you doing?"
I guess the man felt sorry for the woman in front of him and didn't come out to stop her immediately.
"Girl, can you please buy my daughter as well? If you are willing to buy my daughter as well, I am willing to go with you."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, a middle-aged man in the crowd also knelt down.
"Miss, we all know this is against the rules, but my husband and I are really worried about our daughter. If you can buy her as well, my husband and I will repay your kindness by working like slaves in our next lives."
Lin Jiuyue was speechless.
I buy people just to solve the problem at hand, why would I expect any reward in the afterlife?
If you can only repay in the next life, why don’t you come back in the next life to buy someone?
"You two should stand up and talk first."
Lin Jiuyue was not used to someone kneeling to her.
In the 21st century, where I live, there is a saying that if someone older than you kneels on you, your life span will be shortened.
Lin Jiuyue knew that this was unscientific, but after hearing it so many times, she became somewhat wary of it.
The woman and the man did not get up and remained kneeling on the ground.
"Girl, please. Buy her."
Lin Jiuyue frowned and said in an unhappy tone.
"I don't like people kneeling in front of me to talk. If you have anything to say, stand up and speak."
The couple kneeling on the ground saw that Lin Jiuyue was a little unhappy, and they looked at each other.
"You guys should get up first. Listen to the girl. If you have anything to say, stand up first."
The man wanted to help the couple, but he didn't want to go too far. He could only follow Lin Jiuyue's advice and give them some advice.
After hearing this, the couple slowly stood up.
Lin Jiuyue saw someone stand up and asked.
"She's your daughter, right?"
The woman nodded.
"Yes, girl."
"Can I ask what crime your daughter committed that caused her to be sold by the master?"
Not only was he sold out, but his parents, who were also servants, were also implicated. This must be a serious crime, right?
When the woman heard Lin Jiuyue's words, she lowered her head in embarrassment, as if the matter was a little difficult to talk about.
"If it's inconvenient to say, forget it."
There were quite a few people present, so it was understandable that they didn't want to speak up. After all, family disgrace shouldn't be aired in public. If this had happened to me, I wouldn't be too embarrassed to speak up.
