Chapter 251 Buying someone (3)
When Lin Xiaoqiao first heard this method, she was a little dazed. From modern times to ancient times, she had never heard of the phrase "servant", but she always felt that this word had little connection with herself. .

"Buying someone, this-this matter-?" Apparently, Li's thinking was not much different from her daughter's, so after hearing Widow Zheng's words, she seemed a little embarrassed and hesitant.

In a very short period of time, Lin Xiaoqiao went from being confused at the beginning to now having many scenes in her mind where she would be able to dominate others in the future, and she couldn't help but feel a little happy.

I really didn't expect that after two years of coming here, I could live a life of begging my servants and ordering others. I think it's pretty beautiful when I think about it.

Thinking about it before, the goal that Lin Xiaoqiao set for himself was to become a small landlord. The landlords here always have a lot of people at home, and there are also a group of long-term laborers and so on.

During the time of a cup of tea, Lin Xiaoqiao was silent on the surface, but in fact she was thinking about it. Afterwards, she had completely accepted the matter, and said immediately: "Success, I think this idea is good."

In fact, Widow Zheng came up with such an idea just now, in addition to trying to solve the problem for the big guy, she also had a mind to test the reaction of the little girl.

She knew that the Lin family's ancestors were all born in farming families and had never seen anything in the world, but now that they are getting richer and richer, it is not impossible to buy people in the future.

Moreover, Xiaoqiao girl is her daughter-in-law who has never been married. Widow Zheng thinks that her son is devoted to his official career, and it should be inevitable that he will call slaves in the future, so she doesn't want the little girl to accept it for a while, so she takes advantage of this The opportunity was tested a little.

In the end, this girl was really not a shallow-sighted girl who had never seen the world, and she didn't see any resistance except that she was a little confused about this matter at first.

Therefore, Widow Zheng has always not only agreed with her daughter-in-law, but also liked it very much. She just likes the little girl's brilliant energy, which is not at all like growing up in a mountain village. Girl.

Of course, Lin Xiaoqiao and the others definitely don't know about Widow Zheng's thoughts...

After Lin Xiaoqiao's words fell through, both Li Shi and Lin Xiaoxi were a little undecided, so Li Shi said with some hesitation: "This matter is also a big one, or let's wait until the whole family is together. How about we discuss it?"

"What is there to discuss? I think it can be done. It can not only solve my current troubles, but also have a few more people in our family to help with the work in the future, saving us from doing it ourselves. Isn't that good? "Lin Xiaoqiao felt that his own mother was a bit grumpy, so he replied like this.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li said: "How much work can our family do? I just think that there is no need to buy something to serve as servants."

"Why is it not necessary? I think it is very necessary. Forget it, since mother said that we will discuss it after everyone is together, then let's do as mother said." Lin Xiaoqiao also knew that Li was born in poverty. So I couldn't accept such a thing for a while, so I stopped arguing with her, let's talk about it at night.

"By the way, Aunt Zheng, is it expensive to buy a servant?" Lin Xiaoqiao almost forgot to ask this crucial question.

"That depends on what you buy. The servants are divided into grades. The higher the grade, the more expensive the price. There are also living deeds and dead deeds. The purchase prices are also different. But in general, It ranges from two taels of silver to 30 taels of silver." Widow Zheng has been used to servants since she was a child, and she also managed the inner courtyard, so she is quite clear about these things.

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao kept these things in her heart. She felt that it was not too expensive to buy someone.

In the evening, all the staff arrived. After some discussion, the main reason was that everyone was listening to Lin Xiaoqiao's opinion. In the end, with Lin Xiaoqiao's strong approval, the two Dalang brothers, as well as Lin Xiaoxi, all turned against each other. Leaning towards her, the result is naturally the matter of buying someone, and it is allowed.

Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, Lin Xiaoqiao dragged his parents, and sister, and invited Widow Zheng, who was more knowledgeable, to go out with a group of five to finalize the purchase.

They went to find Fang Yajia, who was already familiar with their family, and asked him about the more reliable matchmaker in Anping Town.

Fang Yajia recommended a matchmaker surnamed Huang. It is said that the people she trains are more diligent and innocent.

The yellow lady lived in Fushui Lane in the south of the city. Fang Ya was afraid that Lin Xiaoqiao and the others might not be able to find her, so she went there with her.

On the way to the south of the city, Lin Xiaoqiao still felt a little nervous in her heart. Suddenly, a lot of miserable scenes of those poor people selling their children and daughters appeared in her mind.

Thinking that she was going to buy the children of those poor families soon, Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly felt that she was the kind of capitalist who exploited the poor people, and she suddenly felt a sense of guilt in her heart.

With such entangled feelings all the way, Lin Xiaoqiao got out of the carriage and entered the door of the old lady's house, and saw the servants who were about to be sold.

Looking at their appearance, it seems that they are not as miserable as I imagined, at least they are all dressed cleanly, and they don't give her a feeling of ragged clothes.

Moreover, they didn't have the yellow and thin faces she had imagined. Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly relaxed a little, and didn't feel how miserable they were.

Perhaps, after leaving the original poor family, he could still eat and clothe himself after being sold, and if he could be sold to a charitable owner, maybe life would be even better.

Looking at them, men and women, old and young, all standing in a row, one can tell that they have been trained, Lin Xiaoqiao thought to himself: no matter who enters the door of his house in the future, as long as they are honest In fact, their duties are divided, and their family will definitely treat them kindly.

While Lin Xiaoqiao was thinking wildly to himself, Mrs. Li and the others had exchanged a few simple greetings with Mrs. Huang, and they were ready to pick someone.

"Misters and ladies, what kind of people do you need? Tell me, my old lady can help you pick and choose." The old lady Huang said with a flattering smile.

Lin Xiaoqiao took a quick look up and down at this lady named Huang, and it was really similar to the image he had seen on TV before.

He was quite old, and his appearance was not very good, but his face was covered with thick makeup. Lin Xiaoqiao looked at him, and had to say that his appearance was a bit embarrassing.
