Chapter 179 A Loving Couple
Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu glanced at each other. Are these people here to buy people? But why are they standing outside?
"Brother, what's going on here?" Jiang Hongyu patted the arm of the man standing in front of him.
"A wealthy young man came to this shop. He looked at everyone in here but still wasn't satisfied. Now he's scolding the matchmaker inside." The man looked gloating.
"Everyone says that Mrs. Xue is the best matchmaker here. I think I've hit a wall this time. This person is not easy to please."
"Exactly. When he came to my shop just now, he looked at all the girls and boys in my shop. He picked up almost all the good girls and strong boys in my shop. My business will be difficult from now on."
The pride in this person's words made the people around him start to grit their teeth secretly.
Ye Mingzhu understood that it was the young master of a wealthy family who came early in the morning to buy slaves and had visited several shops. The people watching were all the shopkeepers of the shops next door.
"Brother Yu, why don't we go back first and come back later." Ye Mingzhu felt that this style of doing things was somewhat familiar, a bit like the man who bought her house.
"Oh, Mrs. Xue is busy. Let's go to my shop. My shop is right next door. We have all kinds of people. Do you want to buy a maid or a servant? All the people in my shop have learned the rules."
"Go, that young master has already picked out everything you agreed on. Sir, come to my shop. I promise to satisfy you."
"Go to my shop..."
Several people around looked at the two of them. Ye Mingzhu quickly shook her head. It had been a long time since she had seen any customers, and their looks were a little scary.
Jiang Hongyu didn't want to go to other shops, mainly because they had never bought anyone. It was said that this Xue Ya Po was more reliable, and the servants in the shop all came from clean backgrounds.
"Stop talking, the young master is out, let's see how many people he has bought." Someone grabbed the broker who kept recommending himself and motioned everyone to look ahead.
Ye Mingzhu was also a little curious and leaned over to take a look.
It turned out to be the young master in brocade robe who bought their family's courtyard. Behind him followed two girls with bright eyebrows and white teeth. Although they were dressed simply, the moment they looked up, one could tell that they were two beauties.
Behind the two girls were four strong men and a servant was giving them money.
Ye Mingzhu discovered that the servant was the one who went to the county with Uncle Yan to exchange the house deed. She lowered her head. The young master in brocade robe was looking around impatiently, and accidentally saw Ye Mingzhu in the crowd, and walked forward a few steps.
"Master, the people have been bought. Shall we go buy a hoe now?" After giving the money, the servant called out to the young master in brocade robe.
"It's such a small matter, yet you still have to ask me." The young master in brocade robe turned back impatiently.
Ye Mingzhu had already pulled Jiang Hongyu to the side. When the young master in brocade robe looked over again, Ye Mingzhu was gone. He asked the servant to check around to see if Ye Mingzhu was there.
The servant still resented Uncle Yan for not letting him make any money. Just as he was about to speak, a stone was thrown on his leg, interrupting his thoughts.
"No, I didn't see it." The servant looked around in panic, but didn't see Ye Mingzhu. There was a small stone on the ground, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He remembered Ye Mingzhu saying that Uncle Yan was very skilled in martial arts. Could it be that the stone just now was thrown by Uncle Yan?
He felt a slight pain in his leg, and whispered in the ear of the young master in brocade robe: "Young master, why don't we go back first? The master is still waiting for news from us."
The young master in brocade robe was a little unhappy and patted his head: "You are the one who controls me."
The servant hurriedly bent down, and the young master in brocade robe left first.
He didn't necessarily want to find Ye Mingzhu, he just wanted to ask which places in the house they had searched and whether they had found anything different.
Since he couldn't find it, he just let it go. He was planning to tear down the entire courtyard anyway. He didn't believe that he couldn't find the treasure.
Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu hid nearby and waited until the young master in brocade robe left before they came out.
"Mingzhu, do you know that young master?" Jiang Hongyu asked.
"That man is the young master who bought our courtyard. His servant speaks very rudely. I'm afraid he will recognize us and make things difficult for us. The most important thing is that we did take things from the courtyard." Ye Mingzhu said the last sentence almost in a whisper.
Jiang Hongyu also knew this: "I will find someone to investigate the young master's background tomorrow."
He also wanted to go back to the courtyard and try his best to erase any traces of them taking the treasure.
As the two were talking, Uncle Yan and Ye Yun'an came hurriedly. They both stopped talking at the same time. There were some things that only the two of them needed to know.
"Sister, are we just going to buy a doorman?" Ye Yun'an said in a low voice while holding Ye Mingzhu's arm. This was his first time buying someone and he was full of curiosity.
"Yes, buy someone to guard the door. You can learn from your brother-in-law how to choose someone later. After you enter school, I will buy you a servant." Ye Mingzhu whispered to him.
Ye Yun'an nodded and followed Ye Mingzhu obediently.
In the shop, Mrs. Xue was sitting on a chair drinking tea with a smile on her face. Although the young master was a little picky and selected people carefully, he was willing to spend money. This morning, she made a net profit of more than one hundred taels, which was better than receiving guests for a whole day.
"Oh, sir, please come in. I don't know if you want to buy a maid, a servant, or a cook. I'm not exaggerating, but as long as you can tell me what you want, I can definitely find it in my shop."
She caught a glimpse of Ye Mingzhu and others entering the room from the corner of her eye, and immediately put down her teacup and walked up to Ye Mingzhu with a smile.
"I want to buy one to guard the gate." Ye Mingzhu said.
Mrs. Xue asked them to sit down, her face full of smiles: "Oh, my lady, you finally found someone. I have more than ten people in my shop who can guard the door. I will call them over and let you take a look."
"She should be around 30 years old, in good health, and preferably able to recognize a few words," Jiang Hongyu added.
There was a trace of embarrassment on Mrs. Xue's face: "There are not many people who can read in our area."
"It will be fine if you just know a few words." Jiang Hongyu did not have very high requirements.
"If you only know a few words, I have a few in my shop." Mrs. Xue took a few people to the backyard and asked someone to call all the literate people around 30 years old.
A little girl brought a bench for a few people to sit on, and then people came.
I saw five people standing aside in a row. They were all wearing patched clothes and their eyes were looking at them differently.
"This is the literate man in my shop." Mrs. Xue looked at the others and said, "Several guests would like to buy a doorman."
After the words were spoken, there was disappointment in the eyes of several people, and only one person knelt down on the ground.
"Master, Madam, please buy me."
