Farmer's wife comes to farm

Chapter 1718
Cao said with great interest, very interested in these gossips.

Su Qingyao heard that a talent is three or four taels of silver, which is indeed cheap enough, even cheaper than livestock.

But she sympathized with the captives.

Obviously they are all living people, but now they are being used as business.

Maybe this is the cruelty of this feudal era.

Su Qingyao was sympathetic, but there was nothing she could do.

Even as a person in the 21st century, Su Qingyao is often involuntary in this era.

She is just a plain-headed commoner, unable to control the imperial power.

It's not easy for myself, let alone saving others.

Some things can only be said to be helpless.

After Cao finished speaking, she pulled Su Qingyao's hand and said, "Fifth brother and sister, we are fine now, do you want to go and have a look together?"

Mrs. Cao likes to join in the fun, so it's natural to watch such a big scene.

Su Qingyao thought for a while, and replied Cao, "Okay, let's go and have a look."

If you find the right ones, Su Qingyao can buy a few back.

It just so happened that she was going to buy a house in the capital, and after finishing it, she must have a servant.

Otherwise, Su Qingyao doesn't have so much time, but she doesn't have the time to take care of such a big house.

So the two of them walked towards the market together.

The market in Kyoto is already very lively on weekdays, but now that the captives are being sold, it is even more lively.

The market was full of people, and many people did what Cao said, coming to buy wives.

If you marry a daughter-in-law, it will cost a lot of money.

But to buy it in this market, you need three or four taels of silver, which is cheaper than marrying a daughter-in-law.

The married daughter-in-law has to be treated well. The women who are bought back have unequal status, but they are much more obedient than the married daughter-in-law.

Of course, no matter how you treat them, you are not afraid of people running away.The woman bought back is from another country, and the slave contract is in place. Even if she escapes, she can be captured quickly.

Under normal circumstances, it would cost at least a dozen or twenty taels to buy a woman.

Even if Su Qingyao was so cheap, she had to spend five taels of silver to buy it back, let alone a better-looking woman, it would cost even more.

"Oh, this little girl is beautiful, she looks really pretty, boss, how much is it for?"

asked a man with yellow teeth, staring at a handsome woman, and let out a haha.

The boss selling captives said, "This little girl is young, only 15 years old. If you want it, it's not expensive. Take it for five taels of silver."

"Five taels of silver?" asked the wretched man with yellow teeth.

"Yeah, five taels of silver, my lord, do you want to think about it?" The boss thought that the yellow-toothed man thought it was too expensive, so with a smile on his face, he hoped that the yellow-toothed man would buy it.

The wretched man with yellow teeth said happily, "Okay, okay, then five taels of silver, come on, this is money, take the five taels of silver."

The wretched man took out five taels of silver, and hurriedly handed it to the boss who sold the prisoners, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word.

Such a beautiful woman is really young. If she wasn't a captive, at least 20 taels of silver would be enough!
"okay!"

The boss took the money, and said to the wretched man with yellow teeth, "Master, I have given you the money, so I can give it to you."

"Okay, okay!" The wretched man with yellow teeth narrowed his eyes on the man he just bought.
