Chapter 162 Business (Part [-])

After leaving Chu’s Silk and Satin Village, she went back to the inn and changed into men’s clothes. Su Jin asked Liuli to take her to find a good-quality Zhu Mimao. She wanted to buy someone because she felt that no matter what, the deed of prostitution was in the hands of others. People are always more reliable than hired staff, but it’s not enough to use only servants. The hired staff are all locals, so it’s better to greet guests.

Although Liuli hasn't stayed in Yunsu City for many years, she still found a prostitute who used to go to Yun's house based on her memory. This prostitute is the biggest business in Yunsu City, because no matter what the buyer wants Her servants can always buy from her.

Because they want to open a post office and a restaurant, most of the young men they want are young men. Other matchmakers may not have them, but there are quite a few here. If no one wants them, the prostitute will not let them come out to meet guests.

"I heard that you can buy all kinds of servants here. I want to know some boxing skills. I don't know if there are any?" Su Jin sat down on the chair in front of the house and stood in the yard below. servants.

Zhu Yapo smiled very proudly, "My Zhu family's business is not only done in this Yunsu City, there are people I sent even in the capital, even in the palace, you have seen it, my yard It’s so big, and there are so many people living here, how can there not be a few who can guard it? Don’t worry, young master, as long as you can afford the money, I have all kinds of people here.”

"It seems that Mistress Zhu was afraid that the money I brought would not be enough," Su Jin said with a smile and glanced at Liuli. He smiled immediately, "Since there is money, it's easy to talk about, easy to talk about." As he said that, he was going to get it.

Liuli quickly put the banknotes back into her arms, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, "Mr. Zhu should say a price first, so that our young master will have a better idea."

Mistress Zhu giggled, "A young man like this is handsome and good at martial arts, so the price is naturally higher, 50 taels of silver, and then descends one by one. Young master, you can see which one you like, so I can be more specific." Say a price."

50 taels?Su Jin and Liuli glanced at each other. Although Zhu Miba has a complete range of goods here, the price is ridiculously high!
"Grandma Zhu, you should bring the person out first, and I'll have a look first." Su Jin said indifferently.

Mistress Zhu naturally hurriedly said yes, and immediately called someone out.Su Jin glanced at them and found that they were all in the shape of a little boy. It seemed that they were reserved for those rich and powerful people with special hobbies, but she didn't need this. "Grandma Zhu, maybe, you misread the person." With disgust on her face, she didn't even look at Mistress Zhu.

Zhu Yapo is so smart, she didn't speak, she just waved her hand and made some gestures, and a few more came out slowly. A little rebellious, looking at Su Zhen with provocative eyes, and the bold one yelled at Mistress Zhu: "I said Mistress Zhu, you fooled us into saying that you came to see the nursing home, we I just came with you, and you fooled me into signing the contract of sale, so is it possible to sell us to this little boy? I won’t do such a thing!”

Su Jin was blushed by these people, and became a little angry from embarrassment. Seeing that, Mistress Zhu reprimanded her: "Since you have already signed the deed of sale, you can do whatever the master buys you to do. Besides, you can't use you for such a thing." Like this, don’t piss and take pictures of yourself!”

The people below laughed loudly, and the person who spoke blushed immediately, but because his complexion was too dark, he couldn't see anything.

Mistress Zhu explained to Su Jin: "These people used to be nursing homes of big families. Some were sent out because of inner house fighting, and some came out to make a living because the original family was ruined. Starving to death, I can't sell myself, anyway, these people, my wife Zhu, can guarantee that they are not bad people, and no one has a bad life, and they are homeless and unemployed, so I will let them stay first Show me the yard, and send them if there's a good place to go."

Hearing Mistress Zhu say this, the seven or eight people below stopped talking. Seeing Su Jin staring at them but not speaking, a man with a beard standing in the front spoke. This man was about 30 years old. It is hard to imagine such a person standing in such a place.

"My young master, to tell you the truth, we were originally bandits on the mountain, because we were surrounded by the government, and our family members were gone. We have no choice but to come here to beg for food. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhu She is kind, so we can't make things difficult for her, we've told the truth, you can figure it out, if you don't like it, you don't have to choose us."

After he finished speaking, the others also nodded, and Mistress Zhu really hated iron and steel, so she hurriedly smiled at Su Jin, "Master, don't think they were bandits on the mountain earlier, but they are really not bad people. you……"

"That's all for you, I wonder how much money Mistress Zhu plans to charge me?" Su Jin also saw that these people were not those who did evil and did evil, and they might be less disciplined, but they were all good people, they just had that kind of thought It doesn't matter if there are too many, the Ping An Post Office is just delivering some mail, and if they really want to send valuables, they will probably go to the Escort Bureau.

Mistress Zhu obviously didn't expect that, she was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly realized and said hurriedly: "It's just the original price of the silver they sell themselves, that's all, when they came short of silver, I gave 30 taels by myself, you see, this seven people……"

"Liuli, pay the money." Su Jin was very straightforward. People who know a little bit of boxing skills would not sell themselves. I guess it was just a coincidence here. If she is not satisfied, it is not easy to find it elsewhere. .

After hearing the words, the seven people below were stunned for a while, then knelt down and kowtowed to Su Jin. You guys have made it clear that I bought you not to look after the home, but to charge the darts, and of course it is not a valuable item, but a letter." After speaking, he looked up at Mistress Zhu, "I don't know if we can let them stay here more Wait for a day, and when I am ready, I will send someone to pick them up."

There was nothing wrong with Mistress Zhu, she nodded with a busy smile.

At this moment, a sharp cry suddenly came from the inner courtyard, "I'm not going! Where are you taking me? I won't be a servant girl! I..."

"What's the matter?" Su Jin frowned, wondering if she was a little girl who was sold by her family?Such a cry!

Zhu Yapo laughed when she heard the words, and she didn't need to look or ask, so she replied: "There is a buyer from the capital over there, who bought thirty or forty girls at a time, and that little girl has a big temper. I've tried all the tricks, but she just doesn't behave well, originally I wanted to stay a little longer to train and train, whoever wants to be favored by others, anyway, it's all a person's fate, you can't force it."

"What Mistress Zhu said is true." Su Jin nodded, then remembered something, and asked, "Does Mistress have a cook here? Or did she stay in the kitchen of a rich family?"

"That's not true." Mistress Zhu thought for a while and shook her head, "Young master is disappointed."

Su Jin shook her head, and walked out the door with Liuli.Liuli was very puzzled, but she didn't ask any more questions. No matter what her daughter did, she had her own attention, so why did she need to ask more questions? But thinking about the girl's cry just now, why did she think it sounded so familiar to her? Woolen cloth?But I couldn't remember who it was.

Su Jin didn't have time to explain to her, so she went back to the inn to find Qi Yao after she got out of Mistress Zhu. Qi Yao happened to be in the inn. We want to open another Suji in Yunsu's house."

"Are you in love?" Qi Yao looked at the way her eyes were shining, and his heart lit up, thinking that she could tell himself this matter and rely on himself, which means that he still has himself in his heart, Qi Yao feels that there is no more Other things can have this thing that can give him motivation.

Su Jin shook her head, "I didn't pay much attention when I was looking for the storefront of the post office before, but I heard from shopkeeper Chen that the storefronts in good locations and good locations here are all owned by the government. I think it's better for you to go if you go around ten times How about a trip to the government, and another 'return the body in the same way'?"

"No way." Qi Yao folded his hands on his chest and raised his thin chin, "I can do it all over again, but what benefits can I lose? It's no good It’s enough to do it once, it’s still for the sake of us being together now, but why should I help you this time?”

Why?Su Jin frowned beautifully, and thought about it seriously, if it is a life-saving grace, it seems that he has already changed; if it is friendship?Friendship?It seems that the two of them had a very stiff fight before, so what should I say?

Seeing her frown furrowed and relaxed, Qi Yao thought it was very funny, and couldn't help teasing her, "Or, how about you make a promise with your body?"

"Promise with your body?" Su Jin rested her chin in one hand, "This can be considered, but I will only consider it if you finish this matter for me first."

"No regrets?"

"I don't regret it." There is nothing to regret, but I just promise him to think about it. When the time comes, I will say that I have thought about it, and it is fine to disagree.

Both of them have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, Qi Yao naturally knew what was going on in her heart, and without revealing it, he bent the corners of his lips and went away.After half an hour, Qi Yao casually threw the house deed he brought on the table, and Su Jin picked it up and looked at it with a smile from ear to ear, "Liuli, pay the silver, we bought another good shop, Did you see, tsk tsk, it’s a good location, it’s right next to the Yueming Pavilion where we ate that day, when our family’s business starts, we will definitely lose that Yueming Pavilion’s business, haha..."

Hearing this exaggerated laughter, and looking at the corner of his young master's smiling lips, the scholar felt his heart twitch. Doesn't my young master hate those people who put on official positions and rely on their own power to do whatever they want?How could he still smile so happily after becoming such a person himself?
"Well, master, you don't hate those things the most..."

Before the words could be spoken, Qi Yao's cold gaze had already stared at him, and the scholar hurriedly shut his mouth, lowered his head and stopped talking.

The next day, Su Jin still wore men's clothing, and took Liuli, who was also dressed in men's clothing, to the Ping'an Post Office. When they went, shopkeeper Chen had already set up a table with the staff to receive the interviewees, and Su Jin went in. .The shop looked small from the outside, but the yard in the backyard was quite big, with two entrances. Su Jin was very satisfied, so that the seven people would have a place to live after they came.Thinking of this, she asked Liu Liwai to go out to buy bedding and other items, and after packing up, let those people come over. Although the post office is not open yet, it is also good to take care of the nursing home.

Shopkeeper Chen selected ten staff members in the morning, and selected three cooks for Su Jin to try the dishes.I don't know where Qi Yao got the news. He also came when it was time to eat, and brought the scholar and Hu Er with him.Su Jin curled her lips, these three people are obviously here to eat, hum, I can't let you eat for nothing, I have to order you to do some work.

Qi Yao was originally from a wealthy family, so he had eaten all delicacies from mountains and seas, and he was quite venomous. He didn't talk much, but he was able to point out the shortcomings of every dish he had eaten. Su Jin was envious of it.Among the three people was a young and honest guy, about 20 years old, who was a native of Yunsu City and was familiar with the local taste. Su Jin was not used to it, but Qi Yao agreed that this kind of food was authentic.Now that he has said that and praised someone so rarely, Su Jin stopped picking, and decided on this young man named Guan Bao. Su Jin snickered for a long time when he mentioned his name, a cook, It is also called "Guanbao", which only shows that this person is born to be a cook, but Guan Bao is not angry, he said that he likes to cook.Su Jin nodded, no matter what she was doing, she could only persevere if she liked it, she couldn't help but feel ashamed, and apologized for her rudeness just now, how many times has her mother said, don't allow her to be so unruly, it seems that she really can't be here anymore I stayed outside, and went home after going to the capital to finish my errands, so as to save myself from getting more and more unruly.

After choosing the cook, Su Jin looked at the scholar and Hu Er with a smile, and their scalps were numb from her intense gaze, "Miss Su, just tell me if you have anything to do, you stare at us like this, we... "

"Don't be sentimental," Su Jin interrupted them, she didn't know that the scholar's mouth was no less than her own, and she absolutely couldn't let him continue, "You all have eaten my meal just now, right? If you eat so much, you have to move around, and it’s bad if you accumulate food, am I right?” After speaking, without waiting for the two to talk, he immediately said: “I’m in Yunsu City’s biggest toothmaid Zhu I bought seven people from the prostitute, you go and bring them back to me. Also, help me buy six smart fellows, those who can work and endure hardships, and those who are sharp-mouthed. I have already paid for the seven people. The rest of these will be bought and I’ll give you money after I’ve bought them back, let’s go.”

Both of them showed bitter faces when they heard the words, and they looked at Qi Yao at the same time, "My lord..."

"Miss Su told you to go, but don't go!" Qi Yao didn't even look at them, and focused on the newly brewed Yunwu tea in his hand.

The two couldn't help slandering in their hearts, but the situation was stronger than others, who made their young master shorter than others, even the young master, let alone the two of them, and the two of them could only accept their fate up.

At the same time, the letter written by Su Jin had already been delivered to Suzaku City, and it was sent by Qi Yao who asked someone from the government to borrow a carrier pigeon from the post station. This also made Su Jin's eyes shine. It is also possible to domesticate carrier pigeons. Wouldn’t it be enough to use carrier pigeons for simple letters like this in the future?Thinking of this, Su Jin was so anxious that she wished she could learn it right away, but she didn't have time right now, because Qi Yao had already set off in two days. Although no masked person appeared again these days, it didn't It means they are out of danger.

I told the shopkeeper Chen the rest of the matter, and repeatedly asked the leader of the seven people who bought it, named Chen Da, to restrain the people under him from causing trouble, and asked them to help the Chu family silk and satin factory. The clerks in the house went to clean the shop of the newly bought Suji Restaurant, and the most important thing was to wait for Jiang Run to come after he left, and let them obey his orders.The reason why Su Jin asked Jiang Run to come was thoughtful. First, Jiang Run had experience. Whether it was Ping An Post Office or Su Ji, he knew what to do to make it as good as the shop in Suzaku City; second, there were many brothers in his family. His parents didn't care much about him. When he was in Zhuque City, he basically didn't go back except for the holidays. Liu Ya'er said that he was not born to Jiang's aunt, so he didn't have any worries after he came.

Originally, she wanted Wen Feng to come, but thinking about how Nunnery Wen was protecting her calf, she probably wouldn't.But Wen Feng is also capable and thoughtful, otherwise, when she was in Huaihua Town, she would not have let Jiang Run take Wen Feng to do this matter, she just hoped that Wen Feng could learn from her experience, and in the future It's good to be able to support yourself.She also mentioned it in the letter she wrote home this time, and asked Wen Feng to take over the job that Jiang Run had originally held. He must be able to do it.

When Su Jin thought about this, she was already sitting in the carriage to the capital. She was not at ease about Yunsu City, but she had to force herself to be at ease. In the future, the family's property would increase, and she would not be able to take care of everything in every place. To stare at it by myself, I have to learn from my second brother-in-law and learn to let go, otherwise I will be exhausted.

Seeing her frown, Liuli hurriedly asked: "Miss, are you tired? Lean on my shoulder and rest for a while."

Su Jin shook her head with a smile, "I'm not tired." This time she came out, she found that Liuli's temperament is actually very gentle, which is different from her previous understanding. When she was at home, she was cold, didn't talk much, and only bowed her head Doing things, but now she is a completely different Dahe. Su Jin is very pleased with her change.
